In the study room, Lu Ming looked at the documents on the table and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

According to the document from the headquarters, the Privy Council and the Cabinet have decided to establish a joint investigation bureau, which will be composed of several departments of the First Control and the Special Operations Office of the Ministry of Justice. The Deputy Chief of the First Control, General Dönitz, will retire from active service and will no longer serve as a defense

Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Justice and concurrently Director of the General Bureau of Joint Investigation.

In other words, although the Joint Investigation Bureau was placed under the name of the First Controller, it was used as an opportunity to downplay the military character of the First Controller.

If this continues, in the end, the first control unit may turn into the General Bureau of Investigation, an ordinary government agency under the control of the cabinet.

Lu Ming shook his head. If General Augustus didn't compromise like this, it would be difficult to establish a new department.

However, although from the highest level, the first control was once again secretly poked and weakened its original authority, but for me, in the Gede area, I finally gained a special kind of power.

The Gede area is among the first batch of lists to be established with a joint investigation branch.

Because the Gede area is a special administrative region, the branch has a higher status than other areas and is called a joint investigation committee.

After being appointed as the commissioner, he will work with the two deputy commissioners to establish the framework of the joint investigation committee.

As for the responsibilities of the committee, you can know it by looking at the organizational structure of the department, such as the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Organized Crime Investigation Bureau, etc.

James, one of the two deputy commissioners, was the original director of the Gade Regional Anti-Corruption Bureau, which was now merged.

The Organized Crime Bureau will also absorb relevant departments from regional police stations.

Another deputy commissioner, Cook, was his old subordinate in the Western Regions and the deputy commander of the Military Police Regiment in the Western Regions.

The appendix after the document is the number of civil servants approved by each department of the Joint Commission.

The phone rang at this time.

Lu Ming picked up, and a rich male voice spoke on the phone, "Commissioner Bit? I'm James Johnson. Do you have time now? Let's meet and chat?"

Lu Ming smiled and said: "Deputy Commissioner Cook's train will arrive at Gil in the evening. Let's pick him up at the station and talk together then."

"Okay!" James agreed happily.

…

Seeing his old boss again on the train station platform, Cook excitedly gave Lu Ming a big bear hug.

and James, the two shook hands politely and exchanged greetings.

James is a handsome middle-aged man in his forties. As a member of the Rose Party Party Committee of the Gade Special Administrative Region, he has been engaged in party affairs. Obviously, he cannot talk to Cook and Lu Ming. Lu Ming and Cook recall the past.

Years later, when we talked about the army and the war, James just smiled and listened.

Over dessert after dinner, the three discussed who should be responsible for each department of the committee.

There are two bureaus under the committee, namely the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Organized Crime Investigation Bureau, and the other departments are "divisions".

James is also the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and Cook is also the director of the Organized Crime Bureau.

The three of them discussed the candidates for the top positions in each department.

In the Commissioner's Office, Lu Ming nominated Davitt as his office director, and both deputy commissioners had no objections.

The directors and directors of various departments and others had no opinions, but when it came to selecting the director of the General Affairs Office, James recommended Eric Kuder.

"Eric?" Lu Ming smiled slightly.

James said: "Yes, Eric is the borough president of Queens, a very capable person."

"I'm investigating him!" Lu Ming looked at James with a smile.

James smiled and said: "He is a talent, but sometimes he does things harshly and easily offends people. If not, I will introduce him to you, Commissioner. If there is any misunderstanding, can you talk about it?" He then said: "In the Gaide District

, I personally think that the first control still needs to cooperate closely with the Rose Party, otherwise, I am afraid that our joint investigation committee will not be able to accomplish anything."

Lu Ming nodded: "I'll think about it. Anyway, not all of the people we recommend will be approved. There will definitely be people who come by air."

"Secret Service, I want to see the information on every member of this department." James said again.

The special services of the local FBI bureaus are directly merged with the special services of the first control branch of each locality.

Therefore, it is difficult to say whether this joint coordination system is an extension of the first control power or another cessation of territory.

Lu Ming smiled: "There is no need to discuss the first officer of the committee directly under the Secret Service."

Director of the Secret Service, Peide recommended by Lu Ming, Deputy Director, Durant recommended.

"Okay." James didn't insist.

…

In the evening, Inland Ming made a few calls in the study and was about to get up and leave when the study door was lightly knocked. Kunpeng said: "General, your goddaughter Eunice is here!"

Lu Ming was slightly startled and responded.

The door was pushed open, and a beautiful girl with long pink hair like a Barbie doll walked in. She had a very rebellious temperament, a delicate face, a slim and straight snow-white nose with a charming silver nose stud, and a black school uniform and a white shirt.

, a long and beautiful orange tie, a black and red plaid uniform skirt, lace little white socks on the soft ankles forming a cute rose lace, lace-up little black lolita leather shoes, the girl is beautiful and rebellious, and has a androgynous feel

beautiful.

She is Scarlett's brother's daughter Eunice, the oldest of the third generation girls in the family.

"Father." Eunice stroked her chest slightly and bowed, which is the etiquette of Gaede believers towards their godfather in formal occasions. "Father" is a written word in Gaede language, with a very solemn semantics. When a real father and daughter talk, it is not

There are actually very few people who would use this title in colloquial language. The godfather is only called this way in church and other occasions.

Lu Ming nodded. Such a rebellious girl was so courageous that she dared to come to see him alone.

After thinking for a while, he said "Oh" and said, "Tell your younger brothers and sisters that there is no need to worry about going to school. I will take care of it tomorrow."

Then I remembered that it was St. George's Primary School that refused to admit Ged people, so Davitt went to do it, but the principal sneered at the idea of ​​primary control.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Father, I don't want to go to school." Eunice looked directly at Lu Ming with her green eyes, not at all the trepidation of her family members.

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "We'll talk tomorrow. I have something to do now." As he spoke, he walked out.

"Where are you going?" Eunice followed two steps behind.

"Gaston Building!" Lu Ming opened the study door.

But Eunice followed him: "Father, can I go with you?"

Lu Ming stopped and looked at her in surprise.

Eunice smiled, her smile was beautiful, but there was a hint of sadness, "I heard that that is where our tribe should end up. When I was a child, my mother scared me and said that if I didn't obey, she would send me to Geis."

Come on, our family is supposed to be there, right? It was my aunt who sacrificed herself so that we have a house to live in and bread to eat, right?"

Lu Ming looked at her, sighed softly in his heart, and said: "Let's talk when I come back. Today is destined to be a night of bloodshed there, so don't go. In addition, I bought Gaston, and it will get better and better."

of."

Eunice smiled, her blue eyes filled with sadness, "Father, I have seen my people beaten to death, so I have nothing to fear."

Lu Ming waved his hand, "We'll talk about it when we get back." He turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, Eunice trotted to catch up. She even reached out and grabbed the corner of Lu Ming's clothes. She followed Lu Ming and said, "Father, I have wanted to go to Gaston for a long, long time. Please take me with you, okay?"

?As long as my father is here, I won’t be hurt, right?”

Lu Ming helplessly glanced at this sad and gloomy little girl. She must be afraid of him, but she mustered up a lot of courage to pester him like this, hoping to win her love and gain some sense of security.

, this may be the first time she has met a "father" who may bring her safety since she was a child. After all, in the Gaede religion, the identity of "godfather" is very solemn and sacred.

Of course, it's possible that she has other little thoughts that I can't understand for the time being. Without her experiences growing up, it would be difficult to understand her inner thoughts.

This was the first time that someone pestered me like this. Even Bisi when she was a child didn't do this, and she didn't dare to do it, let alone others. This made me feel very strange.

"Then feel free!" Lu Ming nodded.

Eunice whispered: "Thank you, father!" Her little hands tightened on Lu Ming's sleeves, and she followed Lu Ming closely.

…

It's still the same room on the first floor of the Gaston Building, but Ruben, the leader of the Crocodile Gang, is no longer there.

In front of Lu Ming were White, the boss of the Sickle Party, Sibulun, the boss of the Nine-Nine Gang, Jacob, the boss of the five Jacob brothers, and Harry Berg, the boss of the gold company.

But it was different from the last time they met. Except for Jacob, the other three people looked nonchalant.

Especially Xibulun, the boss of the Jiujiu Gang, looked at Lu Ming with disdain, whistled to Eunice next to Lu Ming, and said with a smile: "This little beauty, general, please keep her, I promise to earn you a lot of money."

One hundred thousand!"

This time, Kunpeng stayed outside the room because Zebulun strongly objected, saying that if Kunpeng wanted to participate in the secret meeting, his brothers would also follow.

Apparently Kunpeng killed Ruben last time, which made them vigilant.

Except for Jacob, the other two people probably had the same idea, but since Zebulun jumped out to object, the other two remained silent.

As for Jacob, he had already met Lu Ming secretly.

In this way, Lu Ming left Kunpeng outside.

Eunice must follow up and take a look at the situation inside the Gaston Building, and Lu Ming has no objection. The serious psychological trauma this little girl has suffered cannot be evaluated by girls of the same age. Seeing the bloody "bad guys"

Not necessarily a bad thing.

And because Lu Ming brought Eunice with him, obviously Zebulun and others didn't think anything unexpected would happen today.
