Chapter 108 Incognito Visit
Chapter 108 Incognito Visit
After giving the fried dough sticks their instructions, Su Yuncheng left.
Chen Ming has entered the police station and is getting used to it.
Once you're in, that's fine. The key is still the Inspector General. It's time to let him know about his relationship with Dylan.
I'll just have to help you out today, and we can get everything done together.
After making the call, Su Yuncheng returned home first, and planned to go back to the safe house later.
"Brother Chen Ming, you look so handsome in that outfit."
On the way, Noodles looked at Chen Ming with great envy. That black leather outfit really made him stand out. Despite Chen Ming's short stature, many people on the road looked at him with a hint of fear.
They were afraid of being targeted by the police and losing money.
For these ordinary people, once they are questioned by the police, they can't get away without paying some money.
They can always find a reason to punish people.
"Is he handsome? I think so too."
Chen Ming replied happily, "Wearing this outfit makes me feel completely different."
He used to be a shoe shiner, always having to be mindful of others' moods. When he encountered the police, he would constantly try to curry favor with them and offer them benefits to avoid being bullied.
Things are different now. He has become someone he used to look up to, and many people are afraid of him.
"Brother Chen Ming, your job was given to you by Teacher Su, so you absolutely must not let Teacher Su down."
Noodles said seriously that he didn't understand the big principles, but Teacher Su thought highly of them. Not only did she teach them to read and write, but she also found them jobs. They must not do anything to harm Teacher Su.
"Don't worry about that, I know what I'm doing."
Chen Ming's expression immediately turned serious. He didn't know what Mr. Su did, but the fact that he could be taken to the police station with just a word meant that Mr. Su was obviously a big shot.
When he went there today, someone specifically asked him what his relationship was with Lu Mingxuan.
He later learned that Lu Mingxuan was the chief inspector of the Xiafei Road Police Station.
Although he wasn't from their area, the chief inspector was the head of the police station, second only to the French; he was their leader and a truly important figure.
For someone like that, crushing him before he died would be as easy as crushing an ant.
He was introduced by Chief Inspector Lu. Mr. Su never showed up. Doesn't that mean Mr. Su might be more powerful than Chief Inspector Lu?
"Brother Chen Ming, I believe in you."
The noodles didn't think too much about it; he was just glad Chen Ming listened to his advice, that way he could feel at ease.
I wonder what kind of job Mr. Su will find for him. It would be great if he could get a job in the police station. Being a police officer is prestigious, and you even have the chance to hold a gun.
Noodles has seen guns, but has never touched one in his life.
"Teacher Su."
The two arrived ahead of time, and Su Yuncheng arrived a while later. Seeing them at the door, he opened the door directly.
"Chen Ming, don't wear this outfit after get off work anymore."
Chen Ming arrived in uniform, which Su Yuncheng could understand. It was his first time as a police officer, and the uniform was a symbol of his status in his eyes.
But doing so is really not good.
"Teacher Su, I know I was wrong. I will never wear it again."
Chen Ming was taken aback and replied in a flustered manner, thinking that Su Yuncheng was angry.
Su Yuncheng laughed: "How can you not wear a uniform to work? What I mean is that you don't need to wear it after get off work."
Chen Ming will mainly be helping Horiuchi Sousuke watch the warehouse from now on. Wearing this outfit after get off work is too conspicuous and really inappropriate.
However, they must wear it during working hours, otherwise they won't get past the police station.
Chen Ming isn't a Chinese detective, so it's more convenient for him to wear plain clothes. He also has to patrol and perform duties.
"Yes, yes, Teacher Su, I will wear it to work from now on, but I will never wear it after get off work."
Chen Ming nodded hurriedly. He could tell that Su Yuncheng wasn't really angry, and he was immediately relieved.
He didn't want to anger his greatest benefactor and teacher on his first day of work.
"Let's begin class."
Su Yuncheng wasted no time and continued to teach them to read. In Su Yuncheng's plan, he would only teach them for three months, and once they learned more than 800 characters, they would be able to graduate.
True culture is not easy to learn; being literate does not necessarily mean one has a high level of culture.
In the future, they need to read more books and newspapers to improve themselves.
Su Yuncheng didn't mention these things to them, and even if he did, they wouldn't understand. They'll gradually find out in the future.
The next morning, Su Yuncheng arrived at the newspaper office. He had asked Chen Ming the day before, and Chen Ming said there was no problem with him entering the police station.
"Editor-in-chief, the newspaper's sales have exceeded 16,000 today."
Not long after, Huang Chuanming came to report the good news: he had already reported the intelligence about Comrade Biandan's murder to Lao Meng.
Old Meng also attached great importance to this intelligence and made a special trip to see Secretary Xiao to report it to him.
Secretary Xiao was also surprised. They hadn't even found out the killer's identity yet, but Su Yuncheng, a newspaper editor-in-chief, knew about it first?
Unfortunately, although Su Yuncheng was Chinese, he was working for the Japanese.
Su Yuncheng collected this intelligence and reported it to his Japanese boss.
Fortunately, Lao Meng had recruited a colleague within the newspaper, and through Su Yuncheng, he had recently obtained a considerable amount of important intelligence.
"Let everyone keep up the good work, and once they've stabilized at over 20,000, then we'll give them a raise."
With a daily circulation of 20,000 copies, the newspaper had established itself as a medium-sized newspaper.
However, to become a truly major newspaper, their daily circulation needs to be consistently above 50,000, and sometimes even exceed 100,000.
Both are indispensable.
Otherwise, others won't recognize your status as a major newspaper.
To achieve such sales figures, a newspaper would need at least fifty employees, which is far from sufficient in their current staff.
It's okay if it's not enough; we can hire more later.
Su Yuncheng was not in a hurry. The newspaper was just a tool for them to cover their identities. Even Muto Tomohiro did not really value the newspaper. What he wanted was the influence that the newspaper brought.
"Yes, I'll go tell them right away."
Huang Chuanming smiled. He was in a stable mood today. The intelligence had been sent back. Although Lao Meng was very sad, he strictly adhered to organizational discipline and told him not to inquire about the matter any further.
Unless it is intelligence obtained by sending a telegram, one should not arbitrarily and proactively inquire about other matters.
Huang Chuanming understood that the organization was doing this to better protect himself.
In the afternoon, after checking the time, Su Yuncheng got up.
"I'm looking for Mr. Dylan."
Upon arriving at the police station, Su Yuncheng quickly met Dylan, who was in his new office, which was much larger than his previous one.
However, the decorations were simple; Dylan didn't like luxury.
"Su, my friend, you've come."
Dillon was very enthusiastic towards Su Yuncheng, who smiled and replied softly, "Your idea of traveling incognito is excellent. This way, you can see more things that you can't learn about in the office."
Duran wanted to travel incognito to check on the security situation in the French Concession, especially around the schools.
He brought it up on his own initiative, but it was Su Yuncheng who guided him.
It's very easy to guide him to have this idea; with Dubois' cooperation, it's not difficult at all.
Dubois went to the school in plain clothes without notifying anyone beforehand, and sure enough, he discovered the problem.
If Dubois complains to Durand once, or gives a hint, Durand will immediately have the same idea.
Duran didn't have many friends in the French Concession; the others were all high-ranking officials. If he wanted to travel incognito, he certainly couldn't use the police force.
