Peter is a native of Marseille, France. Peter's father is a good friend of Silva, the head of the investigation team of the French Concession Political Office.
Pete, who retired from the French Overseas Corps, is a libertine. The adventurous Pete came to Shanghai two years ago and joined the French Concession Political Office through Silva's introduction.
This retired second lieutenant of the French army was tall and tall, but he was not rude. On the contrary, he was well-spoken and well-liked by the French ladies and ladies in the French Concession.
In just over a year, Peter was successfully promoted to deputy squad leader of the investigation team of the French Concession Political Division.
Before Cheng Qianfan joined the patrol room, he had become acquainted with Peter through Xiu Gongshen.
Although the two were five years apart, due to Cheng Qianfan's deliberate friendship, the two quickly became good friends.
Financial interests played a key role in the rapid development of the friendship between the two.
Pete, who has a profound background and vast magical powers, has the means to obtain items that are in short supply on the market, and Cheng Qianfan has the means to sell these in-demand goods on the black market.
The reason why Cheng Qianfan had the financial resources to prepare several safe houses for the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, the Shanghai Red Party, and himself was that most of his financial resources came from the black market industry he and Pete jointly operated.
Last fall, when Peter returned to France to get married, Cheng Qianfan felt quite regretful.
He thought that Peter would stay in France to get married and have children and would not return to Shanghai. Unexpectedly, this guy had just gotten married and returned to Shanghai with his new wife.
…
"The goods are stored in the dock warehouse." Pete whispered, and then cursed, complaining that he had only left Shanghai for half a year, but the storage fees at the dock warehouse had doubled.
"What is it this time? Wine? Radio?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
French red wine and second-hand radios are regular purchases and sales between the two.
Red wine is a luxury product. Under the name of fine red wine imported from France, the supply exceeds the demand on the market.
Radios are also a commodity in short supply. Although they are second-hand radios, they are of good quality and are loved by many Shanghai residents who cannot afford new radios.
"Secret." Peter gave in and said with a proud look on his face, "You will definitely be surprised by the goods this time."
Cheng Qianfan punched the guy angrily, but Peter just laughed proudly and said nothing.
This also made Cheng Qianfan more curious about this batch of goods.
Cheng Qianfan touched the cigarette on Peter's desk and skillfully put it into his pocket.
"You robber," shouted Pete.
"There are many Chinese cultural relics in the Louvre." Cheng Qianfan retorted.
"Sorry, that's not what I did." Peter shrugged, "If I had the authority to handle those things, I could give you a discount."
"Asshole." Cheng Qianfan cursed, opened Peter's desk, and selected a perfume bottle from the jars.
Peter wasn't angry either, he just yelled, "It will be deducted from your dividends."
Cheng Qianfan gave a middle finger.
…
After coming out of Peter's office, Cheng Qianfan did not go downstairs, but went to the office of Chief Inspector Qin Detai, which was also on the third floor.
"Peng Shuban, is Mr. Qin in there?" Cheng Qianfan walked into the open door of the Secretary's office opposite the General Inspector's office and asked Secretary Peng. He took out a perfume bottle from his pocket and said, "Authentic French products, from
Got it from Lieutenant Pitt."
Cheng Qianfan felt that he could never understand a woman's love for perfume. Before he finished speaking, he saw Secretary Peng grabbing the perfume bottle in his hand, his peach blossom eyes shining.
"Xiao Cheng, you are the best." Secretary Peng winked at Cheng Qianfan and chuckled when he saw that the young man was a little shy.
She put the perfume bottle in the drawer and didn't even forget to lock it.
Then Shi Shiran walked out of the office, twisted his hips and walked to the door of the chief inspector's office, knocking on the door gently.
"who?"
"Mr. Qin, Officer Cheng Qianfan wants to see you."
"Let him in."
Secretary Peng whispered to Cheng Qianfan, "Mr. Qin is not in a good mood."
A mouth shape comes out of the mouth: He (Guan).
Cheng Qianfan nodded knowingly.
…
"Reporting to Mr. Qin, my subordinate Cheng Qianfan has returned from a business trip in Hangzhou and is here to report." Cheng Qianfan saluted respectfully and said.
Qin Detai stood up from his seat and looked at Cheng Qianfan, "Has Peter asked you about it?"
"Report to Mr. Qin, Second Lieutenant Pitt asked me about the police officer's whereabouts yesterday."
"What did you say?"
"This subordinate is telling the truth." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "Officer He Guan was with his subordinates from 2 to 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon."
"Is that true?"
"My subordinates dare not hide it," Cheng Qianfan said, "When Officer He left, some neighbors saw him."
After hearing this, Qin Detai took a deep look at Cheng Qianfan, and finally nodded with satisfaction, smiling, "Very good."
She looked at him again, smiled and said, "It's true that I can gain a lot of experience by going out. It's not bad. I'm very energetic. How did you complete the mission?"
"Report to Mr. Qin that everything went well." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "Mr. Campbell has completed the inspection mission and has returned to France by boat. Before he left, he asked me to express his gratitude for your careful arrangements."
"Yes, Mr. Campbell is too polite." Qin Detai said with a smile. He knew that the useless Campbell would never say such kind words, but when Cheng Qianfan said this, he felt comfortable after hearing it.
"Have you met Mr. Silva?" Qin Detai asked.
"Not yet." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "My subordinate is General Qin's soldier. When I return from business, I naturally have to report to General Manager Qin first."
"You, you." Qin Detai pointed at Cheng Qianfan and scolded with a smile, "Your Excellency Silva personally ordered this matter. If you can't understand it clearly, why don't you hurry up!"
Cheng Qianfan did not leave immediately. He took out a box from his briefcase and placed it on the table. "My subordinates found such a gadget in Hangzhou, and they don't understand it. Mr. Qin, you are an expert.
Help me hold my eyes."
Qin Detai took it and opened it to see that it was a snuff bottle. He raised his eyebrows.
He picked it up and looked at the painting on the snuff bottle, and let out a surprised sigh, "Where did you get it?"
"On a street stall in Hangzhou, there are two yuan of French currency." Cheng Qianfan raised two fingers.
"You're lucky, kid." Qin Detai clicked his tongue, "Zhu Zhongyuan's snuff bottle, a good thing." After saying that, he put the snuff bottle back into the box and handed it back to Cheng Qianfan.
"Mr. Qin, thanks to your knowledge of the goods, this thing is like a pearl covered in dust if I put it here." Cheng Qianfan's expression was extremely sincere, "I heard that this kind of thing can only show its splendor if it is cultivated by great virtues. Can you help me?"
Just a favor, nourish yourself."
"You kid." Qin Detai pointed at Cheng Qianfan, "You are doing something crooked."
Cheng Qianfan chuckled, "I don't think I want to take advantage of your blessing."
"Smiley face, get out of here." Qin Detai cursed, "Xiu Translator should have mentioned it to you. I will just tell you, regarding the third patrol, if there is anything wrong with your kid serving snacks, you are the only one to ask."
"Yes, I will serve you wholeheartedly and live up to Mr. Tan's teachings." Cheng Qianfan looked solemn, stood at attention and saluted.
"Go." Qin Detai waved his hand.
"Yes, I am resigning."
…
After Cheng Qianfan left, Qin Detai played with the snuff bottle and chuckled.
This guy is quite clever. If you say this snuff bottle is valuable, it is not that valuable. It only costs more than a hundred French coins. After all, Zhu Zhongyuan is not a famous person. Among Qin Detai's collections, this one can only be regarded as a middle-class item.
Low grade.
However, Qin Detai has always liked Zhu Zhongyuan's products, and this guy is really interested.
Xiu Gongshen wanted to promote his student to the position of deputy inspector. Although Qin Detai reluctantly agreed, he was still a little dissatisfied.
Anyway, although this Xiao Cheng is young, he is knowledgeable and has always been respectful to him.
Qin Detai took out a magnifying glass from the drawer and carefully admired the inner painting of the snuff bottle. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
"Old fox, I'm taking advantage of you." Qin Detai snorted.
