Chapter 662 Lord Black's Advanced British Interrogation Experience

The cast iron fireplace of the Moscow Police Station crackled, and Arthur's knuckles tapped on the gilded cover of the Police Ordinance.

Through the gaps in the blinds, he could see Herzen in the office holding the book to relieve his boredom, and the icon on his neck shone slightly under the morning light.

As a young man who was arrested for the first time, Herzen's performance was actually pretty good. He neither paniced nor overly excited.

The police chief noticed Arthur's gaze. He turned his head and looked at the office, then smiled and said, "Did you find it? It's the one who just caught him yesterday. Fortunately, he was still calm, otherwise, with his With family background, it's really hard for us to deal with him."

"It's hard to deal with?" Arthur teased, "You can't deal with it and you can still capture him? Isn't this finding an ancestor for yourself?"

The police chief sighed and complained to Arthur: "This is different, sir. Take the case for example. I heard that in London, every step of the process is based on rules and regulations, from detention, arrest and then prosecution. They all follow the procedures. But here, once the superiors have a task, they would rather not eat or drink for a few days or nights than do everything. The superiors say, go down to the mud pond, then we have to Go down the mud pond, and you have to find a way to get out of no way, rub the mud and sand into ropes, and use it to strangle those who should be strangled to death."

Speaking of this, he did not forget to give Arthur an example: "And this is not only reflected in the police. Take my brother-in-law as an example. He is the police chief in a local area. Once, the province issued a document. I have to send a fish over on the naming day, and it must be a big fish. Even if I can't catch the whale, I have to be the same. My brother-in-law ran around, as if I had been caught in gas, and I worked hard for a day or two In time, the fish was found, but it was not the one designated on the top peak.

Either the fish's head accidentally looks quite like a big man who has passed the naming day. If he sends it over, he will definitely recruit people to provoke it, saying that sending the fish is a personal attack. Or it’s just that the fish paste is too little and not fat. Otherwise, the shark fin was not fat and had no temperament. And in our hometown, the province is a poor and particular place, and everything must be well-known. My brother-in-law thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and became fierce, and took all the local fishermen into the police station, and ordered them to catch fish that meet the standards within three days. ”

Since coming to Russia, Arthur has heard a lot of similar stories, but fortunately, there are always new tricks in the story, so it is not boring to listen to them.

"Can you catch the fish within three days? As I said, your brother-in-law's way of doing the job is just a mess. He mobilized so many people just for a fish. What's that?"

The police chief said seriously: "Don't disbelief, he actually caught the fish in the end. Although I feel that it is really unconsiderable to do this, in Russia, this method is sometimes necessary. You are a Foreigners do not understand the customs of the Russian officialdom. In Russia, these orders are layered. The province wants to show its skills in front of the central government, and the city wants to show its skills in front of the province, so it is like this. It seems like a nonsense task, but it is actually much more unusual.”

Arthur nodded slightly while pinching his chin: "It's like this Moscow fire?"

The police chief sneered: "Of course, this time is different. This is the order issued by the emperor himself. But I can also use my brother-in-law's experience as an example. It was said that once, the province wanted to show his skills in front of his superiors. The following words to the city: I have to catch a homeless man, and I am a famous homeless man. So my brother-in-law was busy again. He searched the city, stretched out his nose and sniffed everywhere, and saw the lights. Go and check and see if there are a large group of homeless people gathering there."

Arthur couldn't help but be happy when he heard this: "It's not easy to find a homeless man? Not to mention the place, I have seen a lot of him even in Moscow and Petersburg."

The police chief waved his hand and said, "That time is different. The superior's requirements are quite strict, so my brother-in-law dared not take an old woman with missing arms and legs to report to the recharge. He squatted in the city for a week and finally told him to meet him. A lost pilgrim, an incompetent vagabond. He picked up the pilgrim's bag and found a bunch of messy books from it, such as "To the Inhabitants of the Holy Mountains of Jerusalem" and "To the Enthusiasm" Those who spread the joy of heaven, “Those who do more good deeds than stars in heaven”, etc.

You are a devout Christian, so you must know that these handwritten crooked books are pure nonsense and are not found in the Bible. Therefore, my brother-in-law threw this God's obedience to prison as if he had obtained a treasure. The next day, he prepared a report and handed it to the province. He said that the situation is so and XXX works diligently and never rests tirelessly in urban public security. Then he started to make a big fuss about the world, it was a heresy, it was a frequent exchange with his party, it was a troublemaker who harmed the country, and it was a must-elimination. That article is written in a serious way. Even if a writer is asked to look at it, he can't pick one. ”

Arthur flattered, "It sounds like your brother-in-law is really a character. He is so capable of doing things, why didn't the province treat him as gold and transfer him to the police department to do things?"

When the police chief heard this, he couldn't help but look back and pointed at the office where Herzen was.

Arthur understood and said, "He caught a person he shouldn't have caught? And he is not very polite to that young man?"

The police chief nodded slightly and said, "The prince of the provincial supervisor didn't know what crazy that day, so he ran to their city to hunt, and instigated the hunting dog to bite a few Jews and pressed their necks into the bucket for fun. The passers-by reported to the citizens After the case was settled, my brother-in-law went to the scene to get people. When the inspector saw the police coming, he opened his mouth and scolded them for running faster than the hunting dog. My brother-in-law had not come back from his hangover at that time, and heard someone scolding him. He slapped the inspector's son in the face."

"Oh..." Speaking of this, the police chief paused: "My brother-in-law was born like a brown bear. He slapped the weak young master in the face and knocked his two teeth off the spot. . When he found something was wrong, it was too late. Later, he took the gift to the province to apologize, but the supervisor refused to see him no matter what. Although this matter was on the surface, he was not only correct, but also Credit. But, he was just joking about his transfer to the province."

Arthur sighed, "Looking at this point, my things cannot be completely applied to Russia."

"Right?" the police chief enviously: "When you were in London, you just focused on handling the case, and the benefits of promotion would naturally be delivered to you. But we...ah..."

Arthur heard the police chief imagined Scotland Yard as a paradise, and couldn't help but shake his finger at him: "You may think of London too simply. If you want to be promoted in London, you don't just rely on handling cases. It can be done.”

"You should also see Shangfeng's eyes?" The police chief thought for a while and laughed: "But that's right, it's like a crow in the world."

Arthur waved his hand and said, "Of course the look of the peak is to be seen, but it is not as serious as Russia. Because in general, the Greater London Police Act of 1829 did not strictly stipulate the relationship between the Minister of Police of Greater London and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The London police are not the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the King and the Constitution. The Ministry of Internal Affairs only assists His Majesty the King to manage the London police in accordance with the laws and regulations. Therefore, although we must submit annual work reports to the Ministry of Internal Affairs , but we have the final say on how to handle the case, what case to handle, and how many personnel to send."

At this point, Arthur did not deceive the police chief.

Compared with police in other countries, London police may have the autonomy of the Paris police.

However, the reason why the Paris police have great power is that they were a high-level independent department that was only responsible to the king at the beginning.

During the Revolution, as power was scattered in the hands of different leaders, almost all government departments in France were in charge of their own.

This habit also continued until Napoleon's imperial period.

French police minister Joseph Fouche almost made his Paris police officers into an airtight iron barrel.

What exactly are the Paris police doing?

No one except Fouche knows it, and this is no joke.

Because even their emperor Napoleon couldn't figure it out.

As for Scotland Yard, although they are not as domineering as Paris police, they are also not good at it.

In name, the Secretary of the House can decide only the appointment and removal of the Director-General and Deputy Director of Scotland Yard, but if he wants to intervene in the internal promotion of Scotland Yard, he must fully respect and refer to the opinions of the London Police Commission composed of senior police officers and magistrates.

There were two important factors in Arthur's promotion from a street patrol rocket to police inspector. The first was the nod of the Minister of Interior Sir Robert Peel, and the second was the support of Prime Minister Duke Wellington.

Everyone knows what the senior police officers at Scotland Yard are.

As long as the Duke of Wellington speaks, they will support the former commander-in-chief of the British Army.

Of course, buying the Duke of Wellington's face at Scotland Yard does not mean that they will buy the Whigs' face.

Because of this, when Director Luo Wan discovered that the Ministry of Internal Affairs allowed the Fleet Street reporter to attack Arthur who died in duty, he would furiously run to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to slap the table with Viscount Melbourne and fight for Arthur. He reached the lower-level rank of sir whom he deserved.

The police chief listened enviously to Arthur's narration of the sun and moon that he called the wind and rain in Scotland Yard, especially when he heard the Tower of London, his heart even raised his throat.

When Arthur talked about his emotional state, he couldn't help but wave his 'authoritarian iron fist': "When liberals, at a critical moment, they must get a heavy blow!"

The police chief picked up the punch and drank it all, applauding Arthur: "You are right. These bitches must plow the cavalry!"

Arthur seemed to be a little unsatisfied when he said this: "I want me to tell you that this fire is actually a chance for you. Look at me, I was just like you, an inconspicuous middle-level police officer. But that's it Because I handled the emergency situation well, I was respected by His Majesty the King and brought me to my current position. By the way, have you ever interrogated that newly arrested liberal young master? If not, I can give it to you on the spot Teach some interrogation skills. From now on, you will follow my way and ask you to have a face in front of Superintendent Ziensky."

The police chief was moved by Arthur's words: "This... has not been interrogated yet. After arresting him yesterday, Colonel Miller just chatted with him for a few simple words..."

"Oh?" Arthur asked, "He didn't tell you what to do next?"

"That's not. I think he plans to interrogate himself...but..."

The police chief was moved by Arthur's words. At this time, he was pretending to be showing his face in front of Shangfeng: "But, according to the general process, I should have tried it. You don't know, I was originally in the bureau. He should be responsible for this."

"What I said is that you should take the initiative in this kind of thing." Arthur put a trap on him little by little: "You think, how many directors are there in the whole of Moscow. This Moscow fire is a big deal." If the case is handled well, there will definitely be many promotions in your superiors. If they are promoted, they will leave you with a vacant position. If you don’t show up now, who can be in the director of a large number of votes What about you? You can't imitate your brother-in-law and beat the young master who supervised the subject, right?"

The police chief thought about it, but no matter what he thought, he thought Arthur's words were very reasonable.

More importantly, this British Jazz is a well-known police star in London. How could it be possible if he didn't have any harsh tricks?

Taking advantage of the excitement of this lord, he asked him to help pry open the young master's mouth, and then write the conclusions he got into a report and find a literature professor from Moscow University to polish it...

My dear mother, it may affect your career if you don’t do it well!

But then again, taking an outsider to interrogate the prisoner, which is not in line with the regulations of the bureau...

But then again, if you don’t say it, I don’t say it, and everyone doesn’t say it. Who knows that I brought an outsider to interrogate it?

As for a noble character like Jazz, are you serious about me for this insignificant little credit?

For him, this is the sesame seeds, but when it falls into my pocket, this is the stuffing cake that falls from the sky!

The police chief looked at the sun and took out the old pocket watch in his pocket.

Five minutes just after nine o'clock, and the director's meeting just started for five minutes.

According to the consistent nature of the Russian Conference, the meeting should not be over for a while. According to the usual rules, the leaders in the interrogation committee had to be five to ten minutes late to make a statement, and then put on the official accent of ten minutes. It would be 9:30 when the problem was officially started.

As long as the review can be completed before 10 o'clock, the director will not be able to reveal his feelings.

As the saying goes, "The police chief is so ignorant that when he thinks of this, he quickly helped Arthur up as if he was serving God."

"It's such a long drought that has been raining. A gust of wind in Petersburg blew your timely rain in London! I'm so grateful that you are always willing to help this. I'm worried about how to deal with such a young man! I'll prepare for you now Hot tea! Authentic Chinese black tea! Do you always like to drink milk or sugar? Even if you tell me the small ones, don’t be polite.”
