Chapter 429: Everything is going well
Lucien was taken to the Manila Police Station by the police, where he was held with several French businessmen. The police didn't embarrass him, after all, it's not a big crime.
Originally, the police on duty wanted to fine them a fine, and then let them go, but after receiving a call from above, these Frenchmen could not let go, and someone would be responsible for taking over the case tomorrow.
When Police Chief Liao Tianhua got the news, he was very puzzled. So he picked up the phone and dialed Xiao Hanguang.
"Old Xiao, what does this mean? Isn't there something wrong with those French businessmen? ”
Xiao Hanguang smiled when he heard this: "There is no problem, their case will be taken over by the Intelligence Department tomorrow." ”
"What? How did the Ministry of Intelligence get involved, could it be that these white skins are Dutch. Spies sent by Portugal? ”
"What kind of spies, Billy Zhou and Ding Xinghao are here today, maybe the intelligence department has some plans, you just need to cooperate fully, the affairs of the intelligence department, we can not get involved."
Liao Tianhua understood as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "Then I understand, I'm afraid they smelled something again, and they actually recruited these two guys." I asked my subordinates to take strict care of me, and I must actively cooperate and stay out of the matter as much as possible. ”
"By the way, let's arrest these French businessmen, and there will be no violation of the law. After all, it is a matter of our image in Manila. ”
"The dozen or so indigenous girls were all abducted by the gang, the oldest was only 13 years old, and the youngest was only 11 years old, which is a vicious criminal case. Those French businessmen who had sex with underage girls had violated the Manila Public Security Administration Punishment Regulations, and this was enough to sentence them.
Second, they violated the city's regulations by accepting untaxed black shop services without authorization. If this is on the line, even if they are not sentenced to several years of hard labor. It can also punish them for bankruptcy. It's just that we take into account that businessmen from all over the world don't understand the laws and regulations of Manila, and they will be persuaded and educated according to the actual situation, and a simple fine will be fined. ”
A small matter that could have been paid a fine has now become a public security case. Lucien will face two charges, so they will have to spend the night on a bench in the detention cell.
With a bang, the iron door of the detention chamber was opened, and Lucien and several French merchants were awakened, and they sat up from the benches of the detention cell.
Several policemen walked in and took them to the interrogation room. Lucien looked at the interrogation room, where there was only one table and three people sitting behind it.
He sat in a chair in front of the table. Keep your head down and wait for the judgment of fate. One of the Chinese leaders said solemnly: "Name? ”
The other party's cold voice made Lu Xi's heart tighten. He began to answer the other party's questions constantly, and he was not prepared to quibble about their behavior, after all, the native girl had already identified him in public last night. Now it is futile to say anything.
He just said that he had just arrived in Manila, he did not know much about the local laws, and he regretted and regretted that he had violated the laws of Manila, and hoped that the Manila police would give him a chance.
After the Chinese policeman finished asking. Let Lucien sign his name on the confession. Then he said to Lucien righteously: "You are suspected of committing a crime in Manila, not only violating the Manila Public Security Administration Punishment Regulations. Sexual intercourse with underage girls. He also violated Manila's city regulations by going to untaxed black shops without authorization.
In accordance with Manila's laws and regulations, we will bring these two charges against you to the Manila courts, and if you are convicted, you will be sentenced to hard labor for up to three years. and a hefty fine. You can find your own lawyer to defend you, and if you don't have one, the City of Manila will assign a lawyer to defend you. ”
Lucien listened to the other party's words, and his eyes suddenly went dark. He thought about it for a night last night, and felt that this time he was afraid that he was going to break the bank. But he didn't expect him to break the laws of Manila.
He stood up excitedly and shouted, "You guys are slandering, I didn't know the girl's age when I went there, I was innocent." ”
The Chinese policeman on the opposite side said with a gloomy face: "Innocent! Hehe...... Don't say you don't have children, the girl is only twelve years old, she was abducted from her hometown by criminals, his family almost went bankrupt in order to find her, the child's grandmother has fallen ill and is now dying, her father has not returned in search of her, and a whole family has been ruined. Maybe this kind of beastly thing is not a big deal in other places, but this is Manila, hum......"
Lucien looked at the three Chinese policemen opposite him with angry faces, and immediately became stupid. He was stunned for a while, isn't he just a young prostitute, he has seen a lot before, how can he become an underage girl when he arrives in Manila, and he is especially guilty.
At this moment, two tall policemen walked in from the outside, took out handcuffs, handcuffed Lucien, and led them out of the interrogation room. He and several French businessmen were put in a prison van and taken to a detention center outside Manila.
They were sent to their cells separately, and Lucien heard a heavy knock on the door behind him, which also woke him up from his confusion. It was only then that he realized that he was in a cell.
Lucien was extremely aggrieved in his heart, he was unwilling to destroy himself here, and he didn't want to go to prison here. He regretted coming to Manila very much, although he did not have many leather goods, but he could sell them for a good price back to Europe, but now he was facing the dilemma of bankruptcy.
His wife and three children are waiting for him to return home for a reunion, but he is going to prison thousands of miles away in the East. As soon as he thought of this, Lucien suddenly felt like a knife.
Lucien stood there dejected, oblivious to the situation in his cell. It wasn't until a stout figure walked up to him that he woke up from his confused thoughts.
Looking up at the person who walked to the other side, this is a European, looking like he is from Northern Europe, his face is full of fierceness, and there is a terrifying scar on his forehead, which looks particularly hideous. Lucien looked at the scene in the cell and was horrified to find that there were more than a dozen people standing or sitting in the room, Westerners, Chinese, and Southeast Asian natives, all with evil looks on their faces, which were not good at first glance.
The European man who walked in front of him did not speak, but directly moved his hand, trying to snatch off his coat, Lucien just wanted to struggle, and was punched heavily in the stomach, and then he was kicked twice, the coat was pulled off, and the person collapsed to the ground.
The people in the cell walked up to him one after another, stripped him of his clothes and shoes, and kicked him so hard that Lucien was bleeding from the nose and face, and his whole body was in severe pain.
When had Lucien been so abused, he sat up on the ground for a long time, wiped his nosebleed, looked carefully at the wicked people in the house, and secretly cried out in his heart, if he was locked up with these people in the future, then he would really go crazy.
In the days that followed, Lucien was tortured, beating and abusing every day, and even having to be snatched away from him, and when he slept at night, he could only curl up next to the latrines, and he had to wait for these evil gods every day.
Manila sent a lawyer to meet with him, and Lucien clearly sensed that he was just there to deal with the errand, and he was impatient.
However, the lawyer took out the public security administrative punishment regulations and urban management regulations promulgated by Manila, and explained the situation of these laws and regulations in detail to Lucien, and finally even Lucien felt that this time he would not only go bankrupt, but also enter the hard labor camp that made everyone in Manila look different and undergo three years of labor reform.
Lucien knew that this time was the end of the war, not only was his family ruined, but it was not certain whether he would survive in the forced labor camp. The mortality rate in the camps is said to be extremely high. He felt that the sky was about to fall, and he prayed every day that God would save him from the sea of suffering.
God, are you going to give up your people......
Just when Lucien was despairing, he was summoned out of his cell. Lucien was taken to an empty room, which was very dim. Only one table is placed in the middle.
A European, sitting across the table, saw Lucien come in, smiled and motioned for two policemen to open his handcuffs, and then let them out of the house.
He gestured to the chair across from him, allowing Lucien to sit across from him. Then he smiled and said, "Introduce yourself, my name is Albert......"
Next door to the room, Billy Zhou and Ding Xinghao were smiling at the flat-screen TV on the wall, enjoying the exchange between Albert and Lucien. Billy Zhou nodded and said: "The two of them have a lot of common language, they are also persecuted nobles, and they are both ambitious people. ”
"Albert is good to say that he is now unable to return to his homeland except to cling to us. But this Lucien is not easy to control, and if there is any change in the future, the problem will be complicated. After all, the next action of our intelligence department cannot afford to be missed, and it is related to whether the next important plan can be implemented smoothly. ”
Zhou Billy listened to Ding Xinghao's words, shook his head and said: "It's okay, just let Albert deal with it, there is no substantive action in the early warm-up stage of the plan, and it can be regarded as a test for him." Lucien also had to observe, and temporarily worked as a supernumerary intelligence officer, allowing him to have one-way contact with Albert. He can ignore his aristocratic status and come out to run around as a fur merchant, I don't believe he can ignore his immediate interests, hehe...... And he's at the end of his rope now. ”
After a while, Albert pushed the door open and walked into the room, smiling at the two of them: "Yiqiē is very smooth, at least for now, he is full of gratitude to me, and he is eager to cooperate with us as much as possible." But instead of agreeing to him right away, I told him that he was just one of the people we were going to work with, and that it would take some time for the final result to come out. ”
Ding Xinghao shook his head and said: "If you pinch him for another half a month, let him always be anxious during this time, the effect will be better." (To be continued......)
