There was a fierce quarrel in the room, but it was dominated by the rough and tough voice. Occasionally, there was a representative from Hua Xia's side who spoke, but it was not Jiang Qing.
Xiao Zheng listened outside the door for about half a minute and basically figured out the crux of the conflict.
It turned out that Hua Xia's side asked the city police to conduct a comprehensive investigation and execute according to the plan drafted by Hua Xia's side. But the US side shouted that Hua Xia's side was not professional and did not have the ability to handle the case. As long as all the questions were handed to them, they would definitely give a satisfactory answer.
Because of this, the two sides quarreled. No one was willing to compromise.
Knock, knock.
Xiao Zheng waved the guards back to their posts and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door was pulled open, and Xiao Zheng was greeted by a white man. He was in his thirties and looked gentle. But his eyes were a bit feminine and cunning. He was not a good person at first glance.
"You are?" The white man narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xiao Zheng. Then he turned his head and looked at Jiang Qing sitting behind the desk in the middle of the room.
At this moment, Jiang Qing was wearing a special consulate police uniform. Her cold face was quite unhappy because of the US side's lack of cooperation. But she had always been calm and was used to the big world. She was not as angry as the consulate staff. She maintained a calm posture.
"He is my friend." Jiang Qing stood up, and her eyes showed a touch of relief that had not been seen for a long time.
"Friend?"
The white man said in a strange tone, "Captain Jiang, now is not the time for a party. The issue we are discussing is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Any leakage of information will lead to serious consequences. "
"Who are you?"
Without waiting for Jiang Qing to reply, Xiao Zheng, who was standing outside the door, asked, "This is our Hua Xia Consulate. When did the US police have the right to tell us what to do? "
The white man was deflated and was about to fight back. But Xiao Zheng pushed him away and went straight into the office.
The office was not big. At most, it was forty square meters. But in such a small office, there were a total of twelve people sitting there. There were five representatives from Hua Xia's side and seven from the United States. They were brainstorming and having a heated discussion on how to solve the case.
However, from what Xiao Zheng had heard just now, both sides wanted to seize the initiative, and neither was willing to give in. As a result, the conversation reached a bottleneck, and there was no progress.
The US was annoyed by Xiao Zheng's arrogance, and the consulate was also curious about Xiao Zheng's identity. However, at this point, Captain Jiang, who was in charge of the case, did not raise any objections. Although they were a little uncomfortable, they did not say anything. He just silently waited for Xiao Zheng to continue.
"My name is Xiao Zheng. I'm currently the Long Formation Instructor, "Xiao Zheng said as he casually found a chair and sat down. "Not long ago, I was promoted to the rank of major general."
"Do I have the right to sit here?" Xiao Zheng looked around and his gaze fell on the middle-aged man sitting opposite Jiang Qing.
He's a black man. Even though he was sitting down, he still looked tall and strong. His police uniform looked like it could be torn apart by his muscles at any moment. He looked full of power.
Half of the American representatives were police officers, and the other half were important officials from the city government. As long as they were willing to move, the tens of thousands of New York police officers could quickly take action. Not to mention a shooting case, even if it was a terrorist attack, they would be able to grasp the basic situation in the shortest time possible.
However, at this moment, they were arguing with the consulate representative in the office.
Why?
It was simple. The shooting happened in the consulate. In theory, the consulate had guards in charge of security, and there were also armed military officers as a defense force. Even if the New York police had the obligation to investigate the shooting, they would not be held responsible for it. The reason why they were so nervous was because it concerned the diplomatic relations between the two countries. New York had to step in.
Therefore, from an objective point of view, New York could advance or retreat. That was why they deliberately made things difficult for them, and wanted to take the initiative in solving the case.
As for the consulate, they were determined to investigate the matter and find the culprit behind the scenes. If they left it to the New York police, the culprit might not report it. When that happened, New York would minimize the matter and attribute it to the actions of militants or even terrorists. That would put the consulate in a very passive position. It would be difficult to continue.
Xiao Zheng's self-reported identity not only surprised New York. The consulate personnel were also excited.
He was Xiao Zheng?
The most famous military officer in the Long Formation. The youngest major general since the founding of the country, Hua Xia?
Xiao Zheng's outstanding performance in commanding international anti-terrorism operations was well known. With such a powerful person involved, they believed that the case would be solved quickly and the future trouble would be eliminated.
"So it's General Xiao," the black man sitting across from Jiang Qing said calmly. "Hello, I'm the city police chief, Mo Ni. I'm the person in charge of this case. "
"Are you sure?" Xiao Zheng asked with narrowed eyes.
"Of course. The shooting happened in my jurisdiction. Other than me, no one has the authority to investigate, "Mo Ni said righteously.
"That's good," Xiao Zheng nodded and said calmly. "Chief Mo Ni, I hope you can solve this case in three days. Can you do that? "
"Three days?" Mo Ni frowned. "General Xiao. I don't think you understand the process at all. Three days is only enough for us to collect evidence, how can we solve the case? "
"How about this — —"
Mo Ni clenched his fists and leaned forward slightly: "Give me a month, I will definitely give the consulate an explanation."
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng's eyes flashed coldly and glanced at Mo Ni: "Chief Mo Ni, if I were your superior. After hearing what you have to say, the first thing I would do is to remove you from your position. Then I would replace you with a capable subordinate. "
"You — —" Mo Ni's expression changed slightly as he gritted his teeth. "Twenty days at most!"
Xiao Zheng picked up the cup of tea in front of Jiang Qing and took a sip: "Chief Mo Ni, don't take on everything if you don't have the ability. If I say three days, then three days. You can't do it. I'll handle this case. "
Mo Ni asked coldly: "You can solve the case in three days?"
"If I can't, then let's pretend this never happened. We're just unlucky. "Xiao Zheng pursed his lips. "How about it?"
"Hmph. I hope General Xiao will do as you say! "Mo Ni sneered and angrily left the office.
After the US personnel left the office, the consulate officials surrounded Xiao Zheng with a headache and asked all at once: "General Xiao, three days is not enough! We are in the dark right now, we don't even know what is going on. How do we solve the case? "
"Yes, General Xiao. You are too impulsive! "
"Even if Mo Ni deliberately delayed time, they have people and resources. It will be much easier for them to investigate than us."
Jiang Qing calmly listened to the many consulate officials sighing. When the quarrel gradually stopped, she tilted her head to look at Xiao Zheng and asked in a low voice: "Are you confident?"
Xiao Zheng squinted his eyes and smiled: "I even made time to ask you out for dinner."
Hearing Xiao Zheng's words, Jiang Qing felt inexplicably confident.
This guy never seemed to let him down.
This time will probably not be an exception.
