A bustling modern metropolis. All have their own little-known dark and dilapidated corners. Exist in the midst of prosperity. But it's worse than ordinary villages and towns. Wuxi's Walking Street is undoubtedly such a place.

The reason why Zouma Street got its name. It is because it used to be a necessary place for the Ancient Tea Horse Road. There are many post houses. Businessmen gathered. I heard that there is an endless stream of caravans coming and going every day. From sunrise to sunset. There was almost no break. It was bustling at that time. It's not hard to imagine.

But the times have passed. Today's street is as ugly and glaring as the scars on the head of a leper. It is surrounded by modern buildings. You don't see a few days of sunshine a year. Appears dark and damp. The houses are short and dilapidated. Some are even crooked. It looks scary. Already narrow streets. Because of disrepair. Pitted bags. Both sides are also crowded with all kinds of small vendors. The shouting was incessant. All kinds of rotten vegetable leaves and garbage are discarded everywhere. Cross-flow of sewage. In this bustling business district. It's also a very different scenery.

The government has always had plans to renovate Zouma Street. But every inch of land is at a premium. The relocation of residents alone has become a major problem. On several occasions, there have been plans to build this area into high-end office buildings. But I was also scared back by the almost sky-high budget. And just by the government. This astronomical amount is enough for the government to have a headache. Therefore. And so it dragged on.

Afternoon. It's the hottest time of the day. The scorching sun is like scorching the whole earth. The big yellow dog lay on his stomach in the shade, sticking out his tongue and not moving. Even the hawkers sat listlessly on the side of the street dozing. Everything seemed so peaceful. Compared to the crowded scene on the commercial street just across the corner. Two worlds that are almost completely different.

Right now. A few speeding police cars broke the silence here. There was no honking of the police car. It's fast. It's fast. Even when I entered the narrow streets, I didn't slow down. Even around the corner. He also knocked over a tricycle of a small merchant selling vegetables. It's a chicken, a dog, a dog. There was a lot of scolding. But these police cars didn't care at all. Speeding by. Finally, another car stopped in front of a small two-story building.

The people around couldn't help but come up. All a little curious. Look at such a big battle of the police. It's just that something big happened and the case didn't work out. And this two-story building. It looks tattered on the outside. However, there are often people coming and going. And they were a little curious and wanted to go in and have a look. But they were all blocked at the door without exception. It's mysterious. There was even one time. A hawker is in a hurry to urinate. I want to borrow a toilet here. But he was beaten half to death. The police didn't care when they came. It only adds to their curiosity.

Lu Mingqiang pushed the door out of his off-road police car. Glancing at the small building. Just waved his hand. The conductor said: "Surrounded." None of them are allowed to let me go. "That momentum. It's like a general commanding thousands of troops.

"Yes." Crowds of heavily armed policemen swarmed up. According to the prior division of labor and planning. Part of it encloses the entrance and exit of the small building. Part of it is a tool. Pry open the iron door and rush inside. The Land Bureau personally led the team. Everyone seemed to be as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. I don't want to make a good impression in front of the leader.

"Hey. What are you doing? "The police just pried open the door and rushed in. A few unkind-looking men came out to stop him. Two of them still have things in their hands. But that's not the end of the story. was neatly pressed to the ground by the police. Without delay, the rest continued to rush inside. A total of more than 30 police officers were dispatched this time. In addition to the traffic remediation. It can be said that it is the largest operation in the history of the establishment of the high-tech zone bureau.

Don't look at the outside of the small building, it looks tattered. But there's something else inside. The décor is not luxurious. But it's also chic. It's like those underground casinos in the movies. The shrine is also dedicated to the God of Wealth. Of course. It's also smoky inside. The air is not very circulating.

Maybe I heard something. The people in the building are like ants in a frying pan. Flee in all directions. Some even crashed headlong into the onrushing police. I was caught. Some of them went under the table. Some ran upstairs. Some tried to escape through the window. It's a mess. And on the table. Ground. Huge sums of cash were scattered everywhere. Look at it at a glance. There are hundreds of thousands, to say the least.

No one could have imagined it. Such a dilapidated place. There is a huge casino hidden. The nearest police station is no more than 500 meters away. To say that there is nothing greasy in it. I'm afraid no one will believe it.

When Lu Mingqiang came in. The people upstairs and downstairs were all under control. Including a few who tried to escape through the second-floor window and the back door on the top floor. They were all blocked back. Because he fled in a hurry. Some sprained their feet. There was also one who broke his head and bled out. And on the table. There is a lot of gambling money piled up. It's all hundred-dollar bills. Everyone's eyes are red when you see it. If it weren't for discipline. Maybe it was just when the gambling money was collected. Someone is going to shove it into their pocket.

Twenty or thirty gamblers. Dress up differently. Some are suited and leather. Some are very casual. It can be said that there are three religions and nine streams. Everyone was crouching with their heads on their hands facing the wall. Dejected. But there was some muttering in my heart. This place has a lot of history. I heard that all aspects of the relationship are in place. There has never been a problem. How can the police suddenly come to arrest the gambler today.

But they weren't too worried. After all, it's just gambling. Even if the backstage boss here can't handle it. It's a big deal. It's not a serious criminal case. Problems that can be solved with money. It's not a problem.

"Report to the Director. 27 people were arrested at the scene. About 3.07 million ...... of gambling money were seized," Lu Mingqiang just came up. A captain named Zhao Yifan reported to him with a smile. There is oil and water to catch the gamble. So everybody is very enthusiastic about it. Especially this time, the seized gambling money is so large. millions. It's a big case. When it comes to it, everyone's face is bright.

Lu Mingqiang stood quietly. Didn't speak. Zhao Yifan was frightened enough by his cold expression. The look of the hippie smile on his face gradually subsided. He didn't know what was going on with the Land Bureau today. After answering a phone call, his face has been gloomy. Therefore. Everyone is careful. I'm afraid of touching the moldy head. provoked him to take all the fire out on himself.

Then. I heard someone shouting unrelentingly, "What are you doing?" I don't know who is covering it here. I can tell you. I know your director. Believe it or not, Lao Tzu is a phone call. I took you off this skin......"

Hear this. Zhao Yifan's face was also a little unsightly. said softly: "I heard that this is Chen San's territory. ”

"Chen San." Lu Mingqiang frowned slightly. Although he has not been in Wuxi for a long time. But he also heard about it. This Chen San has a lot of background. Black and white take all. He has a legitimate business such as restaurants and karaoke. There is also a shady business. Just as where there is light, there is darkness. This kind of thing is in any country. Any city. It's all inevitable.

"Bring someone to me." Lu Mingqiang said.

Soon. A policeman pushed a man wearing large pants and a vest. A middle-aged man with a pair of slippers at his feet walked over. The man was still shaking a fan in his hand. Face a room full of police. Not only did he not panic. On the contrary, it seems very arrogant and domineering. looked Lu Mingqiang up and down a few times. He said angrily, "You are the one who takes the lead." If you don't want me to call your director. Just get out of here. He almost pointed his finger at Lu Mingqiang's nose.

The surrounding police stared wide-eyed. Common sense tells them. At this time, you can still be so arrogant. They often have some background and confidence. This kind of person is usually encountered. They will all be extra careful. lest you get yourself in any trouble.

Be a police officer. Perhaps to outsiders, the scenery is infinite. But in fact. There is also a lot of wretched gas. accidentally provoked someone with a big background. Losing a job is considered light. If you don't do it well, your family will be ruined.

Lu Mingqiang smiled slightly. He turned around as if he didn't care. But he picked up the ashtray on the table and smashed it heavily on the middle-aged man's head. Just listen to the muffled sound of "pop". Blood burst from the middle-aged man's head. The whole person also fell to the ground screaming.

This sudden scene. The policemen around them were dumbfounded. No one could have imagined it. The land bureau is so violent. Just do it without saying a word. It's just chilling. But there are also some thoughts in my heart. Don't mess with the Land Bureau in the future. Otherwise, it won't be cost-effective to take a few hits.

And the gamblers who were squatting in the corner with their heads in their hands were also taken aback. The heart is up and down. A few of them turned their heads to look at it secretly. But he was scolded angrily by the policeman behind him: "Look at what to see." "One of them was hit in the back of the head. Immediately be honest. But everyone was a little scared in their hearts. I'm afraid that I will also get a few hits. My heart was clenched.

After smashing it. Lu Mingqiang still seemed to feel a little puzzled. After a few more slams. Only then did he throw the blood-stained ashtray aside. He took out a tissue and wiped the blood from his hands. Then he said to the man with a smile on his face, "You can't call now." ”

The man lay on the ground with his head covered. Blood flows. His face turned even paler. Subconsciously nodded. Then I realized that something was wrong. Hurriedly shook his head. He hadn't seen a fierce man before. can be like Lu Mingqiang, who does it in front of so many people without asking questions. And so ruthless police. But it was the first time he had seen him.

"You are Chen San's man." Lu Mingqiang asked softly.

The man nodded. Subconsciously wanted to say a few cruel words. But the words came to his lips. was frightened back by Lu Mingqiang's gloomy gaze again.

"This bothered me today. I'm so sorry. Lu Mingqiang's voice was very soft. But it made the man's heart tense inexplicably. Hurriedly said, "No." It doesn't matter. ”

"I'm here today to find someone. Can you help me. ”

The man almost didn't cry. Paralyzing. Put on such a big battle. It's just to find someone. Which bastard the hell. Time. He couldn't wait to eat this person alive and dismantle him. But he was also relieved. Since it's not for here. It's much easier.

"Erfei. Some say he's here. Is it. ”

The man did not speak. However, his eyes involuntarily looked at one place. There was a squatting man dressed in ordinary clothes. A man of about thirty years old. When I heard Lu Mingqiang mention the name "Erfei". The body shook visibly.

Lu Mingqiang raised his chin slightly. The two policemen went over like wolves and dragged the man over.

"You're Erfei." Lu Mingqiang stared at him and asked.

"I'm Erfei. The officer looked a little embarrassed. I don't know your last name. The man nodded and said. His eyes rolled wildly. I don't know what I'm thinking.

Zhao Yifan on the side slapped him on the head. He scolded in a low voice: "Don't shout. This is our land bureau. ”

"Director Lu." Erfei was stunned for a moment. He didn't even think about it. It's going to be a director. But I was a little puzzled. I haven't heard of a director surnamed Lu. But I don't know. The man lying on the ground was pondering the same question as him.

"Huh. I didn't know that the Land Bureau was looking for me. What are the commands. Erfei asked with a smile. Although I have a lot of dealings with the police on weekdays. But this time the police came to him with great fanfare. I can't help but have some drums in my heart.

Lu Mingqiang glanced at him. Waving his hand impatiently. said: "Take it away." ”

"Yes." Zhao Yifan replied loudly. Then he swept over the other people who were squatting in the corner. Leaned in front of Lu Mingqiang and asked softly, "Lu Bureau." What about these people. ”

What he meant by his words. Of course Lu Mingqiang knows it. After all, Lu Mingqiang also started from the grassroots level. Such a big piece of fat. Since it's on the lips, no one wants to let it go. He said, "Let's take it back together." ”

"Okay." Zhao Yifan said with a smile.

A whole bunch of people. Under police escort. Holding his head in his hands, he came out of the second floor. It attracted a lot of people to stop and watch. No one thought about it. In such a small dilapidated building, the police could have arrested so many people. And the street has not been so lively for a long time.

Because there are too many people. The car I brought with me couldn't fit it yet. had to be shunted from the bureau again. It was not easy to stuff all the people into it. I was about to leave. A police car whined and whistled its siren again. Another dozen plates. It's just blocking the streets.

Zhao Yifan just got into the police car. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help frowning. Push the door down again. He's already seen it. This is the car of the local police station.

A man with a full beard came out of the police car. Chubby cop. The face is a little red. It looks like a few drinks. As soon as he got out of the car, he asked with a big grin, "Which place are you from?" I don't say hello no matter what. They ran to my territory and arrested them. ”

Although they do not belong to the same jurisdiction. However, Zhao Yifan was still very polite. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over. said with a smile: "We are from the high-tech zone. Come here for business. If you are offended, please do a lot of Haihan. ”

"High-tech Zone." The fat man pouted. The smoke was not picked either. A posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away. Although the construction of the high-tech zone has been booming in recent years. But for many Wuxi people. Especially for people in Shizhong District. That is, a remote and underdeveloped suburb. It's never been very affordable. Especially this time, I actually went to the central district of the city to arrest people. Some of them are really tolerable and some are intolerable. "The matter of our central district. When will it be your turn to point fingers in the high-tech zone? We should also arrest people, no. ”

Zhao Yifan's heart was on fire. But he smiled and said: "There are people here who have committed crimes in our high-tech zone." So we're going to ask them to go back and help with the investigation. ”

"That's good." The fat man rolled his eyelids. said, "Please show me the relevant procedures." ”

The police handle cases across districts. In order to coordinate and unify the deployment of police resources. Leverage the role of the local police force. Generally, it is necessary to communicate and report to the local police district first. In fact, however, this rule is not strictly enforced. This is especially true for those who have umbrellas. Otherwise. You haven't even gotten the word before you can catch someone.

Zhao Yifan was about to say something. Lu Mingqiang pushed away the policeman in front of him and stepped forward. The look is serious. The epaulettes of the first-class police inspector on his shoulders flashed a little dazzling.

The fat man froze. Subconsciously raise your hand and salute. Lu Mingqiang asked in a deep voice: "You are from the police station." ”

The fat man nodded in a daze. He asked with some surprise, "I don't know what you call it." ”

Lu Mingqiang didn't even look at him. Just said: "You tell you Director Chen." Let's just say that I took the people away. Do you have any questions for you, Director Chen, to come to me? With that, he turned around and swaggered away.

Listen to Lu Mingqiang's command. If there is not even the slightest doubt about it. The fat man can't help but be short. asked Zhao Yifan in a low voice: "This is you." ”

"Who else." Zhao Yifan suddenly felt that Bei'er had face. A raised neck. said vividly: "Of course it's our Director Lu." "Say it. And he shouted loudly: "Brothers. Returned. "When I walked back into the car. When they walked back to the police car, they all held their heads high. The steps are particularly brisk.

Worked as a police officer for so many years. He had never been so proud today.

"The king's house. Now what. A tall, thin policeman next to the fat man asked.

The fat man hesitated for a moment. Only then did he grit his teeth and say, "Let's go." ”

"Let's go." The tall man hesitated. "Then Mr. Chen."

"Let him go to the high-tech zone to ask for someone by himself." The fat man said angrily, "Paralyzed." It's not good to provoke anyone. Go and provoke Lu Datou. Isn't it looking for death? ”

"What about this place." The tall man couldn't help but feel a little painful. There are a lot of offerings to them here on weekdays. It's going to be a problem. It is undoubtedly a broken financial route.

"It's sealed first. Don't let Lu Datou pick on our thorns. The fat man said, "You say hello to Chen San." During this time, the rest of the life point. Don't get in any more trouble. And also. Find out Lu Datou's purpose as soon as possible. I don't want him to just run around and gamble on it if it doesn't matter. ”
