Chapter 1695 Check each other’s details

Fang Peng's words are not just out of words. The Military Intelligence Bureau, like the Ministry of Security, is an intelligence agency with great autonomy. Most of the time, it can decide the objects of investigation on its own, especially in overseas colonies. Like Manila, it has only recently been included in the investigation.

Due to the lack of a complete public security management system in the colonies in the Haihan territory, the officialdom relies heavily on the intelligence department. Almost all investigation work is completed by the intelligence department instead of being handed over to the newly established police system.

Of course, in the hearts of senior spies from the Military Intelligence Bureau like Fang Peng, he originally looked down upon the police force currently serving as the main force of local security. He believed that the abilities and qualities of these security police who were rushed to work after only a few days of training were extremely poor.

Limited, he simply cannot undertake the corresponding tasks. In addition, the object of his suspicion is a police officer of the Public Security Police, so he is naturally even more unwilling to report the case to the Police Headquarters, lest the police system protect his own people, but it will make him

He was even more upset.

The Military Intelligence Bureau has its own set of standards for investigating and handling cases. Who initiates this investigation process is one of them. Fang Peng's superficial identity is just the head guard of Chaosheng Store, but his other identity is that the Military Intelligence Bureau is stationed in Manila.

One of the people in charge. Due to his outstanding performance during the war and his great contributions, the superiors now value him even more. Once the commendation order submitted to the Executive Committee is approved, he will be promoted. From now on.

With his current authority, it is no longer a problem to initiate an investigation process, and the higher-ups will certainly not block it. Of course, Fang Peng still hopes that the Ministry of Security will also join in, so that the information found will be more comprehensive and reliable.

"Then... let's do what you want!" Ran Tianlu saw that Fang Peng refused to let go. If he continued to object, it would probably not have any effect. He could only agree first. But do you want to participate in the investigation in the name of the Ministry of Security?

Ran Tianlu felt that it would be safer to ask his superiors for instructions. After all, this matter involved the police system, and he did not want any misunderstanding between the Security Department and the Police Department.

On the other hand, Ran Tianlu also believed that with the capabilities of the Military Intelligence Bureau, it was more than enough to find out the matter. If necessary, there would be no need to dispatch personnel from the Security Department. At most, it would be enough to provide the Military Intelligence Bureau with technical support in file investigation.

At the same time, Qin Huacheng was also telling Ding Feng and Francis about his gains today. The observation outside Chaosheng Commercial Inn further confirmed the credibility of those rumors, but in fact, what Qin Huacheng and others really wanted to know

The details of Chaosheng Merchant Store are not helpful. For them, who exactly and what considerations are behind supporting the operation of Chaosheng Merchant Store are still an unsolved mystery so far.

As for the shopkeeper surnamed Ran, Qin Huacheng didn't even see anyone during this trip, so there was certainly no harvest to speak of.

"So we still know nothing about the situation of this shopkeeper Ran?" After listening to Qin Huacheng's description, Ding Feng expressed dissatisfaction with the current progress: "Is this person's backstage so big that you can't even join him?"

Can’t get enough of it?”

Ding Feng's words were quite harsh. Qin Hua was young and vigorous, and his face was a little uneasy at the moment: "Master Ding's words are a bit biased. If someone can tell you all the details in one day,

Can you prosper in Manila? What happened to those previous businessmen with little background? Do you still need me to recall it for Mr. Ding?"

After the Ding family and Qin Huacheng began to cooperate, Ding Feng also asked Qin Huacheng to check some dirty materials about his competitors. As for how the Ding family squeezed out the competitors after getting these materials, Qin Huacheng also knew some inside information, and these things were definitely

It's something that can't be seen in the light, and Ding Feng definitely doesn't want to be mentioned again.

Sure enough, Ding Feng's attitude immediately changed, and he put on his trademark fake smile: "It's just a joke, my nephew, you don't have to take it seriously! Of course I know what my nephew is capable of, otherwise how could I trust you with this matter?"

Go take care of it."

Qin Huacheng snorted softly, obviously not believing Ding Feng's statement at all. During these days of dealing with Ding Feng, he gradually realized that this old fox often said one thing and did another, and his statement must be believed.

It's even more untrustworthy. However, the Ding family's wealth and influence in the local area can provide him with some help. In addition, now that Francis has made a comeback, Qin Huacheng doesn't want to fall out with Ding Feng because of these quarrels.

"There is no way to check this person's background, but if you don't want to alert the enemy, you have to be careful. Otherwise, if the other party notices our intentions, how can we do this? You, Mr. Ding, can't send a team.

Go to the south of the city and kidnap the other party directly back?" After Qin Huacheng calmed down a little, he started to talk about his plan again: "I have already obtained some information, but I still need to find someone to confirm the specific information. It will take two or three days at most.

There are results. During this period, please do not take the initiative to provoke each other, so as not to affect the progress of my investigation."

Qin Huacheng deliberately kept it secret and did not reveal all the information he knew. Regarding the situation of Chaosheng Store and shopkeeper Ran Tianlu, Qin Huacheng believed that the security police in the neighboring jurisdiction and the jurisdiction of Chengnan Store should know more than he did, and

The next step in his investigation is to start with colleagues in these two jurisdictions to see if he can get more useful information from them.

However, his statement sounded a bit perfunctory to Ding Feng and Francis. The two old foxes exchanged glances, and both could read their distrust of Qin Huacheng from each other's eyes.

Although there is no superficial distinction between superiority and inferiority in the alliance formed by the three parties, there are still differences between the conditions of the three families before the war. The Ding family is a large local businessman, Francis is a high-ranking official in the Manila government, and the Qin family can only be regarded as a subsistence family.

A passable little rich man. Moreover, the Ding family and Francis had a long-standing marriage relationship. Although the two families were estranged for a period of time after the war due to interests, with Francis' comeback, they came together again because of interests. And the Qin family

If Qin Huacheng and Qin Huaming hadn't been recruited into the yamen by the authorities, they probably wouldn't have sat at the same table with the Qin family to discuss matters. In their eyes, a newly-minted family like the Qin family is actually as good as

Like a nouveau riche who lacks foundation.

Qin Huacheng had served in the colonial armed forces before the war, but he was just an insignificant soldier. Therefore, when the war came, he could escape from military service with money from his family. After the war, he became the captain of the Haihan Security Police detachment.

Others may be afraid of his skin, but in the eyes of Ding Feng and Francis, this guy just happened to be lucky enough to get this position. He usually just pretends to be a fake and intimidate ordinary people, just to show off in front of them.

It seems too immature.

Qin Huacheng went out for a day, but didn't get any precise information. Ding Feng and Francis thought it was a problem with his ability. If Qin Huacheng hadn't been here in the port area every day, he would still be able to take care of the Ding family's business.

, these two families may have kicked him out a long time ago.

Of course, they would not say these thoughts in front of Qin Huacheng. But the longer this matter is delayed, the more detrimental it will be to the Ding family's local business layout. Let Chaosheng Commercial Store do business for one more day, and the local market

Just one less point. Although Chaosheng Commercial Inn seems to have a rich background, the two old foxes are very afraid of it, because in their view, no matter what the background of Chaosheng is, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a person.

The word "profit" means that as long as you understand the situation and come up with better conditions than Tide Rising, there may be an opportunity to replace it.

This operation is certainly difficult, but everything is possible. Even people like Qin Huacheng can climb up by luck, so of course there is a chance to pry off Chaosheng in the Manila market. And except for Qin Huacheng, they are not

There is absolutely no other way to investigate this matter. As long as the money is in place, are you still afraid that you will not find a way out?

How did Qin Huacheng know what these two old foxes were up to? His idea was relatively simple. He tried to find out the details of Chaosheng Merchant Store as soon as possible so that these two old guys could see how powerful he was and stop talking weirdly in front of him in the future.

Of course, in order to find out this matter, the necessary communication expenses must be advanced to Ding Feng in advance.

When Ding Feng heard that Qin Huacheng asked for money again, he couldn't help but feel a little bit sad. During the post-war period, the Ding family's expenses were far greater than their income. Seeing that the business has improved a little recently, he met a powerful person like Chaosheng Merchant Store again.

Competitor. And this Qin Huacheng didn't open his mouth anyway. Once he opened his mouth, he would definitely ask for money. When dealing with him, he thought that this guy was not a money-grubbing person. Now it seems that this impression is really wrong. Where is Qin Huacheng?

You are not greedy for money, you are just not greedy for small money. When you ask for money, it must be a big sum, and you cannot give it without giving.

"That's all, just think of it as spending money to buy peace!" Ding Feng could only comfort himself in this way. No matter how painful it was, he still couldn't offend Qin Huacheng at this time. No matter whether the things he was responsible for could not be done in the end, Ding Feng

Feng still has to continue to spend money to keep this watchdog.

After sending Qin Huacheng away, Ding Feng sighed and said: "Always relying on Qin Huacheng is not an option if this continues. You have to go up to the top in the future."

Francis understood what Ding Feng meant, shrugged and said, "But the highest-ranking Haihan official I have daily contact with is my deputy. This is really a helpless situation."

Francis holds a full-time position in the Western Management Bureau, but the real leader with real power is Deputy Director Ge Yong. All of Francis's work arrangements are directly arranged by Ge Yong, and daily work reports are also submitted to Ge Yong. Seriously speaking, Ge Yong is the one

Superiors, Francis has the name of director for nothing, but in reality he is simply one level lower. Of course, he has nothing to complain about. It’s a blessing that Haihan is willing to give him this chance to make a comeback. He doesn’t expect it either.

At this stage, we can gain the full trust of Haihan’s senior management.

It's just that based on his current work situation, the people he usually interacts with the most are the people in the Western Management Bureau. The Hispanic employees will give him some face, but if he wants to manage high-level connections, there is basically no chance.

Senior military and political officials like Qiu Yuan and Xiao Liang had never met each other since the day the Western Management Bureau was listed.

Ding Feng said: "Perhaps the method you used last time can be used twice more to make the senior officials of Haihan notice you."

The method Ding Feng mentioned was that earlier they colluded with a group of Hispanic people to cause trouble to give Francis a sense of presence. The effect was indeed good that time. Francis also got rid of the role of the mascot of the Western Management Bureau and finally got his share.

A bit of practical work. However, he knew that this kind of trick could be played once, but if he played it a few more times, he would get burned. With the skills of the Haihan people, it would not be too difficult to see through this kind of trick.

So Francis immediately rejected Ding Feng's bad idea. Even if the money for joint arrangements before and after came from the Ding family, he didn't want to take the risk of trying this method of wiping out his existence again.

But Francis thought of another idea: "There are some well-connected Spanish businessmen in the city, and we may be able to get more information through them. If Chaosheng Merchant Store wants to do business in a Hispanic area, it might as well let people

Come to your door to talk or cooperate and see how the other party responds."

Ding Feng thought about it and felt it was feasible, so he discussed carefully with Francis how to implement it. There were still many Spanish businessmen staying in Manila. For these businessmen, they had to live under the new rulers.

It is not easy to find your own position. If there is an opportunity to cooperate with Chaosheng Merchant Store, businessmen will surely put aside their past prejudices against the Han people and play the role of a dog licker. What Francis has to do is to use

Due to his current job, he arranged for these Spanish businessmen to go to Ran Tianlu to discuss cooperation matters.

Time entered March 1637, and the complicated dispute in Manila also entered the stage where the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and showed their magical powers. Fang Peng launched the investigation process of the Military Intelligence Department and launched an investigation into Captain Qin Huacheng of the Public Security Police Port Detachment.

Qin Huacheng was busy visiting the two jurisdictions that had more dealings with Chaosheng Commercial Store, hoping to get more concrete information from colleagues in other districts. Francis and Ding Feng were trying to encourage Xi, who they knew.

A foreign businessman went to Chaosheng Merchant Store to discuss cooperation. Of course, the main purpose was to find out the other party's background and see who Ran Tianlu was.

In this confrontation of mutual probing, the only participant who was not so interested was probably Ran Tianlu. He had no sense of being a protagonist, and was still busy solving business problems of the store and analyzing the local economic situation every day.

And the impact on social sentiment. However, rather than investigating a public security police officer, he prefers to focus on dealing with the matters at hand. In the past two days, the number of Hispanic businessmen visiting his home has suddenly increased, which has made him even more busy.

Added a few points.
