Chapter 1599: Who Are the Robbers?

At this time, America.

Three days have passed.

"Deng En, you must give me a reasonable explanation for this matter. I am asking you where the clues are, where the culprits are!" The roar of the Chief of Police echoed throughout the entire Armis Agency.

Facing the Chief of Police's fury, Deng En looked indifferent.

Deng En threw down a stack of documents and said coolly, "Information on the robbers, Chief, you handle it."

The Chief of Police glared at Deng En, picked up the documents thrown on the table, and after a glance, his expression changed abruptly.

"Where did you get this information?" the Chief of Police asked in a cold voice.

Deng En held a cigarette in his mouth, the match flared with a hiss to light it, and after taking a deep drag, he slumped comfortably into the sofa he had bought at a great price from Britain.

Exhaling a cloud of smoke and watching the thick, fog-like haze, Deng En narrowed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds.

Only then did he say, "Investigated it."

Hearing this, the Chief of Police's eyes twitched.

Just as Deng En was about to take a second drag, the Chief of Police grabbed him by the collar and scolded, "You bastard, do you have any idea what this information means?"

"If this were exposed, would either of us still be alive?"

Deng En chuckled, looked at the Chief of Police with interest, and teased, "Respected Chief, you were the one who told me to investigate these things."

"Even if it is exposed, what can I do?"

Deng En looked at the Chief of Police's furious gaze, took another puff of his cigarette, and blew the smoke into his face.

The Chief of Police's face turned cold, and he slammed him to the ground.

Struck by the immense force, Deng En coughed violently. He looked up at the Chief of Police, whose chest was heaving with rage, and smiled.

"Chief, even if you beat me to death, this is the result of the investigation: the French Army robbed the Zhian-suo and the Bank," Deng En said innocently.

"The large fines stolen from your Zhian-suo and the cash lost by the Bank are the best evidence."

"Although I don't know why they would do such a thing."

"But now, all the evidence points to them," Deng En said seriously.

The Chief of Police was stunned; all the current evidence pointed to the army.

"Then you should know that if this situation occurs in the French Colonial Zone, people will no longer trust the government."

"Both of us will lose our lives because of this!" the Chief of Police said fiercely.

Deng En watched the Chief of Police, who was agitated and completely at a loss: "Chief, there are only two choices before you."

"One choice is to report this matter up; perhaps Viscount Richard will pardon your death sentence because of your honesty."

The Chief of Police wouldn't even consider this option; Richard would absolutely not let him off, as this was a critical moment in the war.

If the army's scandal were exposed at this time, the public would definitely stop supporting the French Army because of it, and the army's morale would also be severely hit.

"The second choice is not to submit it, but I'm afraid your position as Chief of Police will come to an end."

Deng En looked at the Chief of Police and said earnestly.

The Chief of Police gasped; this was Deng En's conservative view. According to Richard's character, his head and his official position would no longer belong to him.

The Chief of Police gasped and sighed slowly.

Sitting powerlessly in his chair, he had no idea what to do next.

Seeing this, Deng En snorted, walked to his safe, and took out another file from inside.

He threw it in front of the Chief of Police once more and said coolly, "A scapegoat."

Hearing these three words, the Chief of Police was stunned.

Immediately, he looked at the second set of data Deng En had handed over.

Deng En said slowly, "The French Army's actions were too professional and highly purposeful, distinct from..."

"Too many robbers; this is a matching robber I found after a great deal of effort."

"Just right to be a scapegoat."

After flipping through the information, the Chief of Police closed it heavily, revealing a grave expression.

"The matter of the French Army stays buried in our stomachs!" the Chief of Police said in a deep voice.

"Chief, that is a sentence I should be saying to you; after all, this concerns the life of this merchant," Deng En said seriously.

The Chief of Police looked into his eyes and could not read a single hint of lying in them.

He snorted coldly, clutched the information Deng En had given him, and got up to leave.

After watching the Chief of Police leave, Deng En waited for a long time before slowly exhaling a breath.

"Good thing I wasn't found out." Deng En glanced at the documents left on the table regarding the French Army's robbery of the Bank and the Zhian-suo.

He threw them into the Stove, and only after watching this stack of documents and the so-called evidence burn away completely did he finally feel at ease.

Deng En thought of those Indians and sighed; all he could do now was reach this step.

As for the rest, it all depended on which side the Goddess of Luck stood on.

……

At this time, Richard's office.

The three-day deadline had already arrived, and he still hadn't seen the bandits.

Richard had summoned all the officials, including Wan Shang and Fang Dalong.

An emergency meeting.

"It has been three days, and I still haven't seen the robbers, Chief of Police!"

"Chief of Police!"

Richard shouted in a deep voice.

Seeing that no one answered, his cold eyes scanned everyone present, but he did not find the shadow of the Chief of Police.

Richard flew into a rage: "Does anyone here know where the damn Chief of Security has gone!"

His gaze swept over everyone present, and everyone he looked at avoided his eyes.

They were terrified that Richard would vent his anger on them.

But Wan Shang and Fang Dalong stood at the very back with indifferent expressions; not only did they know the ins and outs of the whole affair, they had even participated in it.

As far as they were concerned, as long as the Chief of Security caught the robbers, they would be the safest.

Moreover, the Chief of Security would absolutely not be able to catch Qin Zhangfeng.

Just at this moment, the door was flung open.

The excited voice of the Chief of Security rang out.

"I have caught the robbers!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Everyone turned their heads in unison to look, only to see the Chief of Security looking high-spirited and full of confidence.

Wan Shang and Fang Dalong's hearts, however, skipped a beat.

Seeing the Chief of Security like this, Richard raised an eyebrow and asked coldly: "You caught the robbers? Where are the robbers?"

The Chief of Security laughed: "They are right outside."

Richard narrowed his eyes, looked at the Chief of Security, and said indifferently: "Let's go out and see."

The Chief of Security led the way, and Richard followed him out.

"Everyone come out and take a look."

The crowd walked out one after another, only Wan Shang and Fang Dalong felt a wave of panic and confusion in their hearts.

The Chief of Security had actually caught Qin Zhangfeng, General Qin.

This was absolutely impossible!

Just as the two were stunned, Richard looked through the crowd, saw Wan Shang and Fang Dalong, and said indifferently: "Brother Wan, Brother Fang, you two take a look and see if you recognize these people."
