This is the story of a modern sailor who accidentally becomes a soldier in the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, and, by relying on his foresight, eventually becomes the head of the largest financial ...
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, when Fang Lang had just finished breakfast, Qi Qingshan and two others knocked on Fang Lang's door.
“Sir, this is Captain Archido Martel, the head of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency’s Sao Paulo station, and this is Mr. Hakan Morano, a senior investigator with the Brazilian National Police.
Last night's incident is now under their investigation."
Fang Lang, while drinking the porridge cooked by his mother, nodded at the two of them and motioned them to sit down.
In Brazil at this stage, class concepts are still deeply rooted in people's minds. As a naval captain, Fang Lang needs to properly demonstrate his status.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a certain distance from unfamiliar junior officers.
The two saw Fang Lang eating breakfast and knew that the timing was not right, so they could only stand aside, salute, and said in unison:
"Good morning, sir!"
Fang Lang had no intention of inviting them to sit down. He nodded calmly and said:
...
...
"Good morning, is there any result?"
These words made the two men look a little embarrassed. The incident had just happened one night ago, and with the strength of the Brazilian police, there was no way they could investigate and come up with any useful results so quickly.
“Sorry sir, we just took over the investigation this morning.
From what I understand, things may be a little complicated.
We came here today mainly to hope that you would allow us to learn about the specific situation at that time from your guards."
Captain Archidor Martell of the Intelligence Bureau took the initiative to speak.
Fang Lang knew very well that the evil spirit was hiding very deeply this time, so he had anticipated it.
Turning to the police, senior investigator Hakan Morano said:
"Where's Chief Hodges?"
Hakan Morano held up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said:
"Colonel Fang, Chief Hodges has been listed as a key suspect because he is too closely involved in this case. He has been temporarily detained."
Fang Lang shrugged without comment, turned to Qi Qingshan and nodded:
"Take them!"
The two of them nodded politely to Fang Lang, then turned and left to ask the soldiers in the guard platoon about what had happened.
Seeing the two people leaving, Fang Lang shook his head.
As Fang Lang expected, Chief Hodges has now become the biggest suspect.
But Fang Lang knew very well that Hodges had definitely not done it, because the chain of evidence in the case was too clear, as if it was laid out on the table for you to see through at a glance.
But Fang Lang couldn't figure out Hodges' motive. His relationship with Hodges was not particularly close, but it was definitely not bad. Hodges must be crazy to let someone attack him.
Moreover, they openly used their own people.
In fact, the attack plan was not badly designed, if it weren’t for Fang Lang’s intuition, he would have discovered the danger in time.
If the convoy had really been attacked suddenly, Fang Lang would have been dead by now.
If the incident really happens, Chief Hodges will be the scapegoat because everything was done in his name.
Once Chief Hodges is brought to justice, the case will be perfectly closed.
And no one noticed the shadow of the mastermind behind the scenes.
But now something unexpected has happened, the ambush failed and we were caught instead. We don’t have to worry about the mastermind behind this. The only loophole now is the Sheriff.
As for whether the sheriff really knew the mastermind behind the incident, Fang Lang felt that the possibility was not high.
After all, considering the cautious style of this force, Fang Lang found it hard to believe that they could be tracked down so easily.
Just as Fang Lang continued to eat two mouthfuls of porridge, there was a sudden brake sound outside the door, followed by Fang Xinshui's loud voice.
"Lang'er, you should get up!"
Fang Lang smiled and looked towards the door. Sure enough, he saw the guard open the door and Fang Xinshui rushed in.
"Uncle, have you had breakfast?"
Fang Xinshui waved his hand and said:
"I'm in no mood to eat breakfast. I received the news last night and was almost scared to death, but luckily nothing happened.
I ran over to see you, and you were actually asleep.
I immediately took my brothers and raided the places of the Spear Gang and the Lion Gang.
We also went to the home of Sheriff Wallaway Geller.
Unfortunately, there was no one at home, so we had to destroy his house again."
Hearing Fang Xinshui's words, Fang Lang frowned and asked in a deep voice:
"Smashed it again?"
Fang Xinshui saw Fang Lang's expression and waved his hands helplessly.
"Originally, I wanted to find that fat guy Hodges and punish him, but Qingshan told me that you suspected Hodges was framed and told me not to act rashly.
I was thinking about going to Wallaway Geller's house and smashing it up. But it seems someone got there before us, and this guy's house was already turned upside down. "
Putting down the spoon for drinking porridge, Fang Lang lowered his head and thought for a while before asking:
"Uncle, do you know this Sheriff Wallaway Geller?
Do you know who is in his family?"
Fang Xinshui pulled out a chair from the dining table, sat on it with great confidence and said:
“It turned out that some brothers had dealt with him several times after they were arrested.
This guy looks gentle, but he is actually a ruthless character with a black hand and a cruel heart.
But as far as I know, this guy is one of the few in the police station who is not greedy.
As for his family, we really haven’t gotten to know them.”
"You just said his house was ransacked. Do you think it was caused by his family members who left in a hurry to pack up their things?"
Fang Xinshui waved his hand and said:
"No way, absolutely not, when you pack up you don't pull out all the drawers and throw them on the floor.
Now that you ask me, I don't think it's like they're looking for something, rather than smashing things."
Then he slapped his thigh and said:
"It's bad. I shouldn't have gone in and smashed things."
Looking at Fang Xinshui who just reacted, Fang Lang rolled his eyes.
What's the point of reacting now? Everything that should and shouldn't be smashed has already been smashed.
“Things are getting more and more interesting.
Uncle, can you find a way to investigate the situation and whereabouts of Wolawi Geller's family? "
Fang Xinshui looked at Fang Lang with some surprise and said:
"You mean that Worrawe Geller's family is being controlled."
Fang Lang shook his head and said:
"Anything is possible, so let's not jump to conclusions so quickly.
We'll see once all the information is gathered.
Also, start having your people quiet down now. This matter has become a big deal, and the police will definitely take action against the gang if they want to report to their superiors.
When Hodges was here, we were not afraid.
But now that he is in custody, someone may take the opportunity to attack you.
Don't let anyone take advantage of you.
Regarding the matter of Hong Yi Tang opening a branch in Brazil, you should take your time and communicate clearly with Mr. Situ first.
Wait until this matter has an accurate result before starting again."
When Fang Xinshui heard Fang Lang's words, he became even more angry and punched the table.
"Damn it! Don't let me catch this bastard. Otherwise, I will skin him alive."
Fang Lang picked up an empty bowl, filled it with porridge for Fang Xinshui and handed it to him, saying:
"Uncle, calm down first, there are a few important things now.
First of all, the safety of my family must be taken seriously. I will ask the newly established investigation department to select some professionals to form a security team.
You are in charge of the immigration work. See if you can find some good people among the immigrants to strengthen the team.
In the future, your Hongyi Hall will also need to recruit some good players."
Fang Xinshui took the porridge from Fang Lang, took a big sip and said:
"No problem. Among those coming from my hometown, there are many veterans with rich combat experience.
But what is this investigation department you are talking about?
Is it reliable? "
Fang Lang smiled, poured himself another bowl, and said calmly:
“Don’t worry!
Although this investigation department was newly established by me, its personnel are all military intelligence agents from my hometown.
Being able to fight against Japanese spies and protect everyone's safety will definitely be no problem.
But, they don't have enough manpower, so you have to find a way to recruit some good ones.
It is best to let the recruiters do the screening.
After all, the quality of those who immigrated here varies a lot.
Don’t bring in some old veterans who will run away faster than rabbits when something happens. That won’t work.”
Fang Xinshui obviously didn't expect that this investigation department would be composed of such a group of people. This made him look forward to it.
"Agents? Why would an agent come to Brazil?
Should we find more experts like this from our hometown?"
Fang Lang looked at Fang Xinshui seriously, shook his head firmly and said:
"This kind of person is a double-edged sword. If used well, it is a good knife, but if used poorly, it will hurt yourself.
The circumstances of this group of people were somewhat special, and I took a big risk in deciding to keep them.
You can't recruit such people in your hometown at all.
Even if you can find it, I wouldn't dare use it.
If it turns out to be a Japanese nail, we will be in trouble."
Seeing Fang Lang's serious expression, Fang Xinshui understood that Fang Lang was warning him.
He also nodded seriously and said:
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Reliability is more important than anything else."
After taking a sip of porridge and preparing to continue talking to his uncle, he heard footsteps coming from upstairs. Fang Tao walked down with sleepy eyes.
After seeing Fang Lang and Fang Xinshui, he greeted them, walked to the table and wanted to reach out to grab a piece of bread from the table and put it into his mouth.
Fang Lang glared at him and said:
"Have you washed your face and rinsed your mouth? Then eat."
I don’t know if Fang Tao saw the bloody scene yesterday, but he is a little scared when he sees his brother now.
He quickly retracted his outstretched hand and said:
"Then I'll go rinse my mouth and wash my face now."
Looking at Fang Tao who seemed to be fleeing, Fang Lang twitched his lips, but didn't say much, and continued to talk to Fang Xinshui:
“A few days ago, weren’t we talking about having my master come over to open a Bajiquan gym in Sao Paulo?
This matter needs to be dealt with urgently. My idea is to build a large Bajiquan gym next to my home.
Let the masters teach boxing here directly, and build the boxing gym’s dormitories nearby.
If something happens at home, it would be safer to have a group of experts like this around."
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Fang Xinshui said in surprise:
“Is it still possible?
But if you really encounter a situation, relying solely on fists and feet will be of no use!
After all, in today's society, everyone has guns. You see, most of the guys who attacked you this time were holding pistols.
But this can't be dealt with by fists and feet!"
Fang Lang smiled and said:
“If the eighth-level boxing gym doesn’t teach firearms, does that mean the students won’t know how to use guns?
Or we can set up a special gun club!
It was also built in the village so that everyone could practice shooting when they had free time.
But don’t build it too close to home, because the noise from shooting is a bit loud and it will affect your family’s life.”
Before Fang Xinshui came back, Fang Tao said:
“Yes, yes, I want to practice my shooting skills.
Last night, I didn't know where my bullets went, and I didn't hit a single enemy."
