On the afternoon of April 16th, at 14:00, the number of vehicles entering the compound of the Provincial Narcotics Control Bureau was twice as large as usual, the guard posts were increased by two floors, and the guards were extended to five kilometers outside the bureau, which was more than the previous inspections by the leaders of the Ministry. The specifications were even higher, and the overall atmosphere immediately became tense.
After the defection incident, there was almost no action other than the internal review. The internal review has not yet yielded results. At most, the various brigades under the urban area cooperated with the local police to clean up the drug market in the past three days. It can be concluded that this kind of action is just better than nothing. The best effect is at most to make those drug dealers restrain themselves for a while, and they will revive after a while.
What everyone really cares about is the so-called defection incident. The defection of a high-ranking police officer is not as simple as a low-level policeman collecting black money. The work process, investigation methods, technical level of the entire Narcotics Control Bureau, and even hidden colleagues may be exposed. , The blow to the anti-drug work in a region is almost fatal.
Some people once doubted the authenticity of the "defection" incident, and always thought it was a deliberate leak, but after two weeks of tireless review, no one still took this chance.
It's true, otherwise the censors wouldn't be looking at everyone with hostility.
So what is going to happen today
"The staff of the Narcotics Control Bureau are organizing self-examination and self-correction, and their mood is very low."
"When this kind of thing happens, no one feels very good. From family situation to personal privacy, some people are almost mentally broken when they are asked."
"Comrades from the Ninth Division have very tough hands. They don't even let off young girls who have just entered the bureau for less than a year. They have cried several times during the interrogation."
"Our work is not easy to carry out, or we don't have any work at all."
Political Commissar Wan and Shi Qinghuai accompanied Xu Pingqiu who had just got off the car on one left and one on the right, followed by Ren Hongcheng, and Lao Ren was also a legend in the team. Everyone inside knew that every time there was a major case, Lao Ren was behind him. Such a person It is rare to go to the foreground, but to go to the foreground may mean that the incident is far more complicated than imagined.
Xu Pingqiu listened to the report of the two and complained, and comforted him: "It's still the same sentence, stabilize emotions, stabilize people's hearts, black is black, white is white, the Nine Branches will not let bad people go, but they will not be wronged. My comrades... When something like this happens, the higher ups are a little too emotional, let everyone understand."
What if you don't understand
Wan Ruisheng and Shi Qinghuai smiled wryly, accompanied the captain into the hall, and stopped two meters away from the elevator. The people from the Ninth Office were already waiting there to pick them up. They shook hands and entered the elevator expressionlessly. , and drove into the confidential basement level of the Bureau.
"It seems that the Ninth Office is also at the end of its rope, and we need to invite our captain." Shi Qinghuai said softly.
"It's hard to handle. It's much harder to catch a mole than to catch a thief. I'm afraid our team will be disbanded before that time." Wan Ruisheng murmured with deep understanding.
Xu Pingqiu still has memories of the building here. When the Narcotics Control Bureau planned it, he felt that this kind of building similar to a secret service was a bit of a fuss, but now it seems that he is a bit outdated. The contest between crime and fighting crime is at some levels , is not much lower than the level of espionage warfare. For example, this time, the leak, defection, and infiltration incidents, his intuition must not be temporary, but lurking for a long time, and a fatal blow came at a critical moment.
Unfortunately, it was the police who were hit hard.
The three of them, Li Lei, the deputy director of the Ninth Division of the National Narcotics Control Bureau, Duan Xiaoyun, the foreign affairs liaison officer, and Yang Zheng, the anti-leakage specialist, were all in their thirties and forties. Knowing the environment in which they have been working for many years, Xu Pingqiu's black face is the least of them in comparison.
"I have long admired the name of the Deputy Office, and you are welcome to intervene in the investigation." Yang Zhengdao.
"It's time to ask Deputy Director Xu for advice. You were the first to solve this case." Duan Xiaoyun said politely.
"What's wrong with our work here, please forgive me, Deputy Director Xu." Deputy Director Li Lei said.
They invited Xu Pingqiu to the chief seat with politeness and politeness, but the higher-level unit still behaved like a boss, for example, Lao Ren was like a transparent person, and the few people didn't even call him hello. When the central government arrives at the local area, it is impossible for them to be calm and arrogant. If it were not for being restrained everywhere and making no progress this time, they probably would not have invited the local government to intervene in the investigation.
"Okay, let's not talk about being polite. Please show me the case. It happened to our people. Don't worry, we will definitely not favor any traitorous policeman." Xu Pingqiu said.
Li Lei, the deputy director, gestured to the anti-leakage commissioner. He was in his thirties and wore glasses with profound myopia. He was adjusting the computer and showing the context of the entire case.
"It all started when you went to Guangzhou to solve the new drug case. After the case was over, according to the Ministry's monitoring of drug markets in various places, it was indeed silent for a while, about four months... But then there was a It is a strange phenomenon. In Hunan, Shaanxi, Anhui and other provinces, the price of new drugs is lower than that in the coastal areas. After in-depth investigation, it is found that this situation is obvious. From the inland to the coastal areas, the price difference is trapezoidal, which is exactly the opposite of the original situation. What's even more strange is that the purity of the new drugs we seized in Beijing is actually higher than that in the coastal provinces."
Xu Pingqiu frowned and said: "So it is speculated that there are drug factories in the mainland, and the drugs spread from the inside to the outside?"
"Yes, otherwise there is no other explanation. The Ninth Office has mobilized many special agents from various provinces to learn about this situation in private. There is indeed a large amount of new drug trafficking. Hubei, Anhui, Jiangxi, and Shaanxi provinces are rich in GHB-Asian drugs. The new drugs of methylenedioxymethamphetamine and ketamine have been kept at a relatively low price for a long time, and the speed of flooding is quite fast. There is a huge underground passage that is operating efficiently, but unfortunately, our secret service has not been able to reach the upper level of drug trafficking... "
"The breakthrough finally fell on the drug lord of the June 23 drug trafficking case in Guangzhou? Shen Jiawen?" Xu Pingqiu asked.
Even though it was a casual guess, it still surprised several people from the state affairs office. After taking a few glances at the legendary detective Gao, Yang Zheng nodded and said:
"Yes, according to the ratio of the ingredients, we ordered the Guangzhou police to interrogate Shen Jiawen. She was the first representative we caught a new type of drug. Too much to believe the facts... According to her confession, the criminal gang she belongs to has been trafficking narcotic drugs from Europe, America to Southeast Asia and the mainland for many years. Believe me, the raw materials of this kind of narcotic drugs that have been flooded in Europe and the United States are easy to find and the cost is relatively low."
Then there was a joint operation organized by the State Council, aiming to bring this foreign drug lord to justice. Shanxi was able to join it, probably because of his involvement in this case.
The situation was basically the same as the speculation. Shanxi Province dispatched three anti-drug police officers, Du Licai, Lin Yujing, and Li Fangyuan. These three were all people who followed Xu Pingqiu to make contributions in Guangzhou. He could see them very clearly. When they were displayed on the screen, he cried out slightly. There was a sound, like a sigh.
On those unknown fronts, others cannot imagine how much hardship the police have put in. They are always in a situation of being cautious every step of the way. Some, and some even... gave up all their beliefs.
That was the last thing a policeman wanted to see, but it was something he had to face.
After a moment of silence, the people from the State Office seemed to be giving these two time to think. Xu Pingqiu urged softly: "So you sent Lin Yujing to sneak undercover and try to break through from inside them? Is that golden dragon whereabouts now? How is Lin Yujing?"
Xu Pingqiu had seen the censored version, and he also couldn't believe that a policewoman would degenerate into a drug dealer's bodyguard and mistress. If it was possible for someone else, but from Xu Pingqiu's point of view, it seemed that there was something very strange about it.
"Deputy Director Xu, you mean the censorship tone." The anti-leakage commissioner Yang Zheng exchanged glances with others, and let go of the picture. It was a picture of Lin Yujing and a man. It was a very sexy picture. Xu Pingqiu frowned and asked. Asked: "Is he the Golden Dragon?"
"He's not Jinlong. His name is Guo Pengguang. He belongs to the foreign-related affairs field sequence of the National Narcotics Control Bureau and is under the direct command of the anti-drug liaison officer stationed in Hong Kong." Yang Zhengdao.
"Oh." Xu Pingqiu was startled: "My own?"
"Yes, my own, the truth is like this." The deputy director said, "Jinlong is a person who hides very deeply. Shen Jiawen was interrogated for several months and refused to confess to him. He even brought this matter out to us. Talking about the conditions, we made two preparations when we launched the mission. On the one hand, we increased the intensity of interrogation; Shipping, they cooperated quite well and successfully dug up some information on people who were smuggled to the mainland."
"This is trying to use Li Gui to lure Li Kui out." Xu Pingqiu thought, this is a good way, this kind of thing is very taboo in Taoism, if you steal his business, he will kill you later.
"Yes." Yang Zhengdao, "The progress of the whole operation seems to be very smooth. Guo Pengguang and Lin Yujing, led by the anti-drug liaison officer stationed in Hong Kong, have dug up a lot of valuable information. The interrogation of Shen Jiawen has also made a breakthrough. According to She confessed one after another that Jinlong's business is very big, Panyu is just a port for him to go to the mainland, and there are many drugs and raw materials entering the territory through other channels. Just when Jinlong was about to come out, on March 16 , that is, a month ago, something unexpected happened to us... "
Shen Jiawen died on the way out of custody, and the anti-narcotics liaison officer's home was attacked and killed. Xu Pingqiu had no way of knowing the details. He looked at the three people from the state office who were silent, and asked a little nervously: "Who the hell?"
"This is the video in the escort car at that time." Yang Zheng said, entering the password, and playing a video.
Watching the video, Xu Pingqiu's eyes widened. He saw the special police in the car, Shen Jiawen in the cage behind the car, and Du Licai and Li Fangyuan accompanying him. They were all anti-drug police officers dispatched from Shanxi Province. Significantly, he drew his pistol and shot Shen Jiawen in custody, blood spattering his eyes... Du Licai immediately jumped out of the car after the shot, and the screen immediately went into chaos, only the sound of gunshots could be heard incessantly.
Xu Pingqiu and Ren Hongcheng were dumbfounded. The truth was that Du Licai, a member of the task force under escort, shot and killed the man directly.
"Why is this? Du Licai has been working in the Narcotics Control Bureau for more than ten years, how could it be him?" Xu Pingqiu asked in disbelief, and questioned in case he wanted to: "The motive? He colluded with overseas drug dealers? Impossible, he was in charge of the 6.23 major case at that time, it was much more convenient to do it then than now."
"We are also puzzled. At 14:00 p.m. on the day when this incident happened, before we realized what was going on, comrades in Hong Kong also had an accident. At 20:00 the next day, the stationed The Hong Kong anti-drug liaison officer was shot dead in his own home. The investigation outside was fruitless, and it was only when we checked back that the backyard was on fire." Li Lei, the deputy director of the State Affairs Office, said.
The anti-leakage commissioner played the following video. It was a mother and son, who were being questioned. Xu Pingqiu stroked his forehead and suddenly realized.
Li Lei explained: "No one expected that the fire in the backyard would cause Du Licai's family members to be kidnapped, and the other party would coerce them into doing this."
"How is the family?" Xu Pingqiu asked anxiously.
"Now they are protected. They were kidnapped for more than 70 hours, and then thrown into an abandoned blast furnace in a steel factory in Taiyuan City. They crawled out by themselves, and they dared not even report the case. When we approached the door , his wife was in a trance and intermittently described the whole situation." Li Lei explained.
"So, the traitor should still be in Taiyuan. The middle management of the Narcotics Control Bureau, especially the family members in the field, kept it secret. Someone betrayed the situation." Xu Pingqiu said.
"It should be like this. After shooting Shen Jiawen, Du Licai jumped into the river and escaped successfully. Afterwards, we organized a hunt, but there was no news. We suspected that he should have sneaked back to Taiyuan." Li Lei said.
"What about the other two?" Xu Pingqiu asked.
"The anti-drug liaison officer stationed in Hong Kong was killed, and the assailant Du Licai's whereabouts are unknown. We don't have detailed information about this criminal leader, so we can only confuse the public and pin the matter on a secret anti-drug field worker, Lin Yujing. Now Lin Yujing, Li Fangyuan Because they belong to the same group as Du Licai, they are under review. Our main force has already withdrawn. According to Shen Jiawen's final statement, Golden Dragon has cooperated with domestic criminal gangs for a long time. It can be judged from the fact that they can dig up the family information of senior officials of the Narcotics Control Bureau.” Yang Zhengdao, anti-leaking commissioner.
This sentence made Ren Hongcheng breathe a sigh of relief, and Yu Zui had asked Lin Yujing for news more than once.
However, this tone was not completely relieved. The situation may be more serious than imagined. Although the defection was fake, but the shooting of the suspect in custody and internal leaks cannot be faked. The most urgent task must be to find Du Licai who has absconded.
However, those people from the state office who are so powerful and can command the police everywhere have not found Du Licai, so what can the provincial department do here
"Just tell me, what do you need us for?" Xu Pingqiu said.
"First, hunt down Du Licai, bring him to justice as soon as possible, and find out the facts; second, find the insider in the Narcotics Control Bureau. As long as he is here for a day, normal work cannot be carried out here; third, of course, touch For the source of poison in the current market in Taiyuan, Qing Dynasty, your progress in this area is very fast, I have received your report, it is very good, and the speed is fast, and the professionals are no more than that." Li Lei praised unexpectedly.
Xu Pingqiu laughed, black lines appeared on Ren Hongcheng's face, if someone from the state office knew what he did, he wondered if he would praise him like that.
"Okay, I can dispatch police forces from outside the Narcotics Control Bureau to accept your direct command. When something happened to our people, we have the responsibility to solve it to the end." Xu Pingqiu said in a very sincere tone, and Yang Zheng stopped the conversation and said, "No, no, Xu Ting, you have misunderstood us. We do not directly command, but assist you in handling the case. After all, you know the situation here better than us, and we have been working here for nearly a month. We have not accomplished anything, time We can't afford it."
"Alright, as long as Du Licai is still in Taiyuan, I promise to catch him back." Xu Pingqiu said.
The three people from the state office looked at each other slowly, maybe they were saying that they should have used this old detective a long time ago, but at this stage, they have to face the hatred of the police officers of the Narcotics Control Bureau every day. vision.
"There is another suggestion." Li Lei said.
"Tell me." Xu Pingqiu said.
"When we were reviewing the major case of 6.23, we found a strange symbol marked as '02'. According to the Guangzhou police, he is the ace field worker in the hands of your provincial corps. He found the way to hide drugs in the major case of 6.23. He was also the one who caught the drug lord Shen Jiawen at sea... I suggest that this person be recruited into our task force." Li Lei said.
The black line on Ren Hongcheng's face suddenly became more serious, and he lowered his head a little ashamedly. As the chief of secret services, he has trained countless secret service elites, but this one is not counted.
Xu Pingqiu smiled and said: "He is already on the move."
"Really?" The person from the State Office was surprised.
"The drug market situation and the list of people involved in drugs in your hands come from him." Xu Pingqiu said proudly.
Now, because of this unknown person, the two sides seem to have a little more trust. Li Lei is asking about the progress of the work below. The anti-leakage commissioner strikes up a conversation with Ren Hongcheng. Occasionally interjected a sentence, but it was a bit regretful, complaining that the special service of the corps was too tight. At that time, this person was mentioned in the transfer, but the Narcotics Control Bureau had no right to transfer it away.
While talking, Li Lei's cell phone on the table rang. Xu Pingqiu noticed that his expression had changed. When he answered the phone, he stood up abruptly and said hastily, "The meeting is suspended, something happened to my person."
"Some of you are also active in Taiyuan?" Ren Hongcheng asked in surprise.
"That's right, we were not idle when we hunted down Du Licai and found the source of the poison here." Yang Zheng said.
Several people whispered, Director Li Lei felt a little unnatural to save Xu Pingqiu and Ren Hongcheng, and simply said: "Our workplace is located in the Provincial Armed Police Hotel, just now a field worker triggered the emergency signal, and our people are rushing over. "
"Do you need help?" Xu Pingqiu asked.
"I don't need it for the time being...wait for a while." Li Lei said, obviously upset. The waiting time was not long, but it made the commander who had no way of understanding the scene feel that it was a torment. When the call finally came, Li Lei answered the phone , and then looked at Xu Pingqiu suspiciously and said, "Did you get taken away by... your people?"
"Our people? Which unit?" Xu Pingqiu was stunned.
"I don't know yet..." Li Lei wondered with dull eyes, when did the police force in Taiyuan become so strong, and the field staff of the State Office are all first-class skills, and they hide it quite well.
Ren Hongcheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "This field worker, isn't it Guo Pengguang? The one who performed the mission with Lin Yujing?"
"How do you know? He just arrived in Taiyuan a few days ago." The anti-leakage commissioner was stunned, his eyes protruding a lot.
As soon as Ren Hongcheng bit his lower lip, he knew who it was, but he didn't dare to say it, so he smiled shyly and said, "Guess."
Xu Pingqiu also understood who it was at this time, but he didn't dare to say it, he said he had misunderstood, and when he looked back at Ren Hongcheng, his eyes were awe-inspiring. Ren Hongcheng had already quietly shown the news on the PDA to Old Xu. It shows an ecstatic message from Tiao Yu Zui:
Old Ren, we caught a big fish, we caught a golden dragon!
The two looked awkwardly at each other, they didn't arrest the drug dealer, they arrested their own people first, and they are the field staff of the State Office, this ass is not easy to wipe...
