Wang Jinmin couldn't believe his ears. Although he acted as a Chinese Inspector, his management scope was limited to Chinese Inspector. Monpero hired Luo Lie as inspector general, which was an unprecedented precedent. You should know that since the French Concession, the position of inspector general has been served by foreigners. Luo Lie became inspector general means that his future power was still above him.

Luo Lie smiled and said, "I, as the inspector general, are just a false position."

Wang Jinmin vaguely guessed that there must be a exchange of interests between Luo Lie and Monpero. Monpero should have made another vote before leaving. Money can make the devil push the mill, and foreign devils are no exception. Luo Lie is the good one this time.

Monpero patted Luo Lie on the shoulder and said, "From the future, you will be my full agent in the police station. I hope that before I end my term, I will investigate the recent major cases and not leave any trouble for my successor."

The news of Luo Lie's return was far less shocking than that of becoming the inspector general of the Chinese detective in the French Concession. Monpero gave him a formal appointment. Although this appointment was more important to honor, the inside of the police station had already exploded. Everyone was guessing Luo Lie's real intention to take the inspector general. After all, before he disappeared, Luo Lie gave people the impression that he was a wealthy tycoon. Logically speaking, he would not even think of such a position if he was rich.

The second thing Luo Lie did when he returned to Huangpu was to buy Minghua Daily. The newspaper was not far from the police station, and Luo Lie met his first visitor in the newspaper's office.

Cheng Yufei wore a purple felt hat and a dark purple coat. After a period of recuperation, her body had completely recovered. After entering Luo Lie's office, she took off her hat and gloves. Seeing Luo Lie still sitting behind the desk indifferent, Cheng Yufei said: "What? Don't know me anymore? Don't show your gentlemanly demeanor."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "I'm thinking about the problem. Are you here to start a crime today?"

Cheng Yufei took off her coat and hung it on the hanger.

Luo Lie stood up and asked the secretary outside to bring in coffee.

Cheng Yufei looked at the environment of Luo Lie’s office and praised: “Being rich means you can do whatever you want. Should I call you President Luo or Inspector Luo now?”

Luo Lie said: "It's easier for you to call me a name."

Cheng Yufei's eyes finally froze on Luo Lie's face. After looking at it for a while, Luo Lie felt a little uncomfortable. Luo Lie said, "It's not that I haven't seen it before. Is it a bit rude enough to see me like this?"

Cheng Yufei said: "I have to make sure if you are back, is it someone pretending to be a lie?"

Luo Lie asked her to sit down on the sofa, and then took the coffee sent by her secretary and delivered it to Cheng Yufei in person.

Cheng Yufei said: "You have lost weight!"

Luo Lie said: "It is normal to wander outside, sleep in the open, and not eat enough to fill your stomach."

Cheng Yufei said: "You are so friends. The news is blocked without any leakage. If I hadn't heard that a new inspector named Luo Lie came to the French Concession, I wouldn't have expected it would be you."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "What can you hide from you, the goddess detective?" He stood leaning against the table and looked at Cheng Yufei: "Have you suffered a lot, right?"

Cheng Yufei said: "It's nothing. I forgot to hurt after my scars."

Luo Lie said: "Actually, if you don't come to see me today, I have to visit you. I am an amateur when investigating the case."

Cheng Yufei said: "A layman actually turned into the inspector general of the French Concession. Honestly, how many oceans have you sent?"

Luo Lie couldn't help laughing when he heard her say this. Cheng Yufei laughed, without any complaints in his heart, some of which were warm, the warmth of the old friend reunited after a long time. If it weren't for these friends last time, I'm afraid she had been convicted of the assassination of Inspector Liu. After knowing that it was French Consul Monpero who helped put pressure on him, Cheng Yufei inferred that it must be Ye Qinghong who played the role.

Luo Lie said: "The consul and I are old friends for many years. This time my family was bombed and the case was handed over to others, so I took personal favors with shamelessness. I, the inspector general, are nominally and have no real power at all."

Cheng Yufei said: "You can't say that. In the French Concession, the consul said that you have real power, you have real power." Of course, she knew that Luo Lie was not a person who was greedy for power and position. If he wanted to work hard in this regard, he would have made great achievements long ago.

Luo Lie said: "You have to help me in this regard."

Cheng Yufei took a sip of coffee and said, "Bai Yunfei has gone out of prison, and I have seen him."

Luo Lie was stunned when he heard this: "Have you seen Bai Yunfei?"

Cheng Yufei nodded and said, "It should be said that he had seen me. I was detained in a secret place at that time. Bai Yunfei saw me and he also mentioned you and said that he would not let any of us go."

Luo Lie said: "In this way, he must have colluded with the police."

Cheng Yufei said: "I have been investigating this time, but there has been no progress. The police refused to provide me with information. Now you will be fine if you come back."

Luo Lie said: "No matter what you do, you must first ensure your personal safety. I want this false name not only to investigate the case, but also to make these guys swear to the point of being afraid of it."

Cheng Yufei secretly praised him for his shrewdness. He first asked for the position of inspector general and then bought the newspaper to control police force and public opinion, which could shock many people. Even if Chen Haodong and others wanted to attack him, they had to weigh the consequences. Cheng Yufei said: "What are you going to do next?"

Luo Lie said: "Of course it's investigating the case, but I don't know where to start. You are an expert in this regard. I want to hear your opinions."

Cheng Yufei said: "The more important the person is, the harder it is to check, because the scope of the matter may be large and wide. I thought about it carefully and thought that at the beginning, all of this was related to Chen Haodong, but after Bai Yunfei appeared, I realized that perhaps all the bad things were not done by Chen Haodong. Which one do you think is better to deal with, Bai Yunfei or Chen Haodong?"

Luo Lie thought for a while and replied: "It should be Chen Haodong."

Cheng Yufei said: "So let's start with Chen Haodong's investigation. At present, I can only conclude that Chang Chai's disappearance is related to Chen Haodong."

Chen Haodong was in a very bad mood, and the thing he was most worried about finally happened. Luo Lie returned to Huangpu under their close surveillance, and transformed into the inspector general of the French Concession. The consul Monpero was really a joke to do things. He actually handed over such an important position to a Chinese without any qualifications.

This is not only a headache for Chen Haodong. Recently, the newspaper published several scandals about him. If it were the past, Chen Haodong didn't care about such trivial matters. But now it is different. His fiancée Jiang Yunxiu has arrived in Huangpu, and his future father-in-law, the governor Jiang Shaoxiong, has officially performed his duties. These romantic news will inevitably not be known to them.

On the day of the news, Chen Haodong instructed Liang Zaijun to send someone to the newspaper, and he asked Liang Zaijun to be polite and then to fight. After all, Minghua Daily is not far from the French Concession Police Office, and he did not want to fight under the noses of the patrol officers.

However, what Chen Haodong did not expect was that after Liang Zaijun sent someone to give gifts to the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, the next day, a news that he sent someone to spend money to bribe news practitioners and tried to cover up the truth was published. Chen Haodong was furious and asked Liang Zaijun to send someone to burn the newspaper. Before the people sent by Liang Zaijun could light the oil barrel, they were arrested by the police. At this time, Chen Haodong only realized that the newspaper's backstage boss was Luo Lie.

After the incident, Chen Haodong first thought of explaining to Jiang Yunxiu, but this time he didn't even go in the gate of the Governor's Mansion. Jiang Yunxiu obviously read the recent report and was furious that the servants were not allowed to let Chen Haodong enter.

Chen Haodong, who was rejected, saw Minghua Daily on his way home. He asked the driver to park the car at the door of the newspaper and walked in by himself.

Someone from the newspaper had already notified Luo Lie, and Luo Lie asked someone to take Chen Haodong to his office.

Chen Haodong saw Luo Lie with his own eyes and finally verified the rumors that Luo Lie returns safely. He was a little more calm than Chen Haodong three years ago. He learned to hide his true joy and anger and looked at Luo Lie and said, "I still think that someone is so interested in my news, and I will post the page to publish my affairs."

Luo Lie looked at Chen Haodong with a smile and said, "I was surprised that I could see you in Huangpu. I remember that someone said to me crying and never set foot in Huangpu in his lifetime. It seems that I have forgotten what I said."

Chen Haodong said: "So many years have passed, and it is hard for you to remember so clearly. I am a businessman now. You are a good person to make money. If you want to make money, don't worry about grudges."

Luo Lie nodded and said, "Who can tell me the truth, right and wrong?" He signaled Chen Haodong to sit down and speak.

Chen Haodong sat down and took out a box of cigarettes. Luo Lie pointed to the non-smoking icon on the wall. Chen Haodong shook his head and said, "I remember you smoked in the past."

Luo Lie said: "People always have to make some changes. Even if they cannot change more and better, they cannot get worse. Do you think so?"

Chen Haodong heard something in his words and whispered: "Who can make the right judgment on good and evil?"

Luo Lie said: "Is Chang Chai's disappearance related to you?"

Chen Haodong was stunned. He didn't expect Luo Lie to ask this question straight to the point. Chen Haodong laughed: "I am no longer a person in the stolen sect. What does your stolen sect have to do with me?" He leaned forward and smiled sinisterly: "You won't deliberately mess with me because of this incident, right?"

Luo Lie said: "Do I still need to use such a method if I really want to mess with you?"

Chen Haodong said: "I forgot that you are now the inspector general of China and have the power. You have to be careful when talking to the inspector general. If you make you angry, you might be in jail."

Luo Lie said: "Mr. Chen is a smart person, but smart people must keep their word. Don't forget what I promised me back then, I am a serious person."

Chen Haodong said: "Okay! I'm wrong, Mr. Luo, the reason why I came back was because I thought you were dead. I didn't expect that God was so unhappy and you were still alive." He had a smile on his face, but his words were extremely vicious.

Luo Lie said: "Are you very disappointed?"

Chen Haodong shook his head and stood up and said, "Let me go, give me seven days, I will finish the matter here, and then leave Huangpu and never come here again."

Luo Lie said: "That's the best."

Chen Haodong left Luo Lie's office swayingly. Luo Lie stood in front of the window and looked at Chen Haodong's distant figure. He understood in his heart that this guy would never leave easily. The so-called seven days should be just his delaying strategy. His real intention was to numb himself.

Chen Haodong went to Zhenwu Gate, and he was holding a fire in his heart. He wanted to scold Liang Zaijun for being ineffective in his work and sent so many people to the station and dock, but in the end, Luo Lie Shen slipped back without knowing it.

When Chen Haodong arrived, Liang Zaijun was instructing his apprentice in the yard. Seeing Chen Haodong's gloomy face, he knew that he was accused of the crime, so he hurriedly smiled and greeted him.

Chen Haodong said: "It's him!"

Liang Zaijun said: "Please come from Mr. Chen!"

Chen Haodong followed him away from the front yard, and Liang Zaijun whispered: "Mr. Chuanyue is here."

Chen Haodong frowned. Mr. Chuanyue, whom Liang Zaijun mentioned, was Chuanyue Ryuichi from Xuanyang Society. He is a martial arts master. He has also opened a martial arts hall called Taisho in the concession. Chuanyue Ryuichi is very mysterious and rarely appears in public places on weekdays. His disciples are managed by the Taisho Martial Arts Hall.

Ryuichi Chuanyue was admiring the plum blossoms in the small garden in the backyard. He was wearing a black kimono and had a childish face. His figure was obviously much more burly and strong than when Chen Haodong last saw him.

In fact, when Chen Haodong walked into the garden, he felt an invisible pressure, which further confirmed Liang Zaijun's statement that Chuan Yuelongyi was the number one master in Japan. Chen Haodong was also a martial arts practitioner. He thought he was brave, but under Chuan Yuelongyi's pressure, he still felt his breathing suffocated. He was like this, let alone ordinary people.

However, Chen Haodong did not think that Japan's number one master could dominate China. The highest level of martial arts should be to return to nature. It is easy to show domineeringness, but the highest level is to be restrained. Suddenly, his chest relaxed, and he looked at the plum blossom and showed a kind smile, smiling like an old man next door, and he could no longer find any hostility from him.

Chen Haodong realized at this moment that Chuan Yue Longyi was deliberately putting pressure on himself.

Liang Zaijun said respectfully: "Mr. Chuanyue!"

Chuanyue Longyi smiled and said, "Local Master Liang!"

Liang Zaijun introduced to him: "Mr. Chen, you know each other."

Chuan Yuelong nodded and said, "See you!"

Liang Zaijun invited the two to the tea room for tea. After the three of them sat down, Chen Haodong said, "I remember the last time I saw Mr. Chuanyue was in Peking five years ago."

Chuan Yuelong nodded and said, "There is another time."

Chen Haodong said with a confused look on his face: "I can't remember if you ask Mr. Chuanyue for advice."

Chuanyue Ryu said: "Two years ago in Arashiyama."

Chen Haodong's face suddenly changed. Two years ago he was in Kyoto, he suddenly remembered a familiar back, and his hand holding the teacup couldn't help but tremble. Liang Zaijun also noticed his abnormal behavior and silently picked up the tea towel and wiped away the tea water spilled on the tea table.

Chuan Yuelong said, "The water is a little cold."

Liang Zaijun hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll go and boil some hot water." In fact, it's enough for the disciple to go there like this. He doesn't need to go there in person. This is to leave a separate space for the two of them to talk.

After Liang Zaijun left, Chen Haodong bowed deeply to Chuanyue Ryuichi and said, "See Mr. Kimura."

Chuanyue Ryuichi said: "You should call me my current name."

Chen Haodong didn't dare to look up and whispered: "What are the instructions Mr. Chuanyue?"

Chuanyue Ryuichi said: "You are really inefficient in doing things."

"Mr. Funagoe taught his lesson that he was already close to success, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened."

“What’s the situation?”
