Another morning in early spring, in the misty city, more and more citizens came to catch up.
In the southeast of the city, Yongchang Garden, not far from Yongzuo Temple, is an early-developed garden community with a large green area. The land has also become an expensive appreciation place for real estate.
Along the Huancheng Road with wide roads and few cars, there are many citizens doing morning exercises in the community along the way. It is adjacent to the mouth of the Fen River. In the early morning mist, you can see a long river running through Bailian. Because of this factor, this community also has In addition to the gimmick of viewing, it costs hundreds of dollars per square meter.
"The occupancy rate of this community is now 81.5%... When I wanted to develop the slag pile and saline-alkali land, everyone thought I was crazy... Hehe, I'm not crazy now, the house price is crazy ... Hehe... I don't understand, but my dad made a bet with me last year. I said it would go up, but he said it would go down. If he lost this year, he refused to admit it... "
A middle-aged man was walking and talking, with a woman on his arm, listening to him quietly.
Few people may know a couple. He is Wei Jincheng, the major shareholder of the real estate developer here. Perhaps only such a person has such a relaxed attitude, watching the ups and downs of housing prices with a smile.
Di... Di... Two horn sounds, the woman turned around, a white BMW, she deliberately took her husband by the arm, and gave way, but the car came towards the couple, they were startled, and walked up the steps After leaving, Wei Jincheng looked at the car with a familiar look, and for a moment, his head stuck out from the car, yeah, after a night, I saw Officer Yu again.
"What a coincidence, Boss Wei." Yu Zuizuan got out of the car and greeted him with a smile.
"I knew it at the first glance, and deliberately created a coincidence." Wei Jincheng also smiled, seemed very happy to see Yu Zui, introduced that this was Police Officer Yu, and then introduced to Officer Yu, my wife, Xiao Xia... Xia, ah, How about you go back first and I'll buy breakfast later.
The woman was quite decent, she smiled, greeted Yu Zui, and left with a smile. But Yu Zui is awe-inspiring. Boss Wei once again broke through his bottom line. This lady has a yellow face and a gray face, a thin face and a fat waist, and she is dressed in very ordinary clothes. She is not even as good as an ordinary nanny. .
It was only after Wei Jincheng sent his wife away that he realized that Yu Zui's eyes were wrong, and he asked in a daze, "What's wrong with you?"
"I mean... your wife, this... I understand, my first wife." Yu Zui said, feeling very shocked.
"Oh, I also understand. In your eyes, the rich should be extravagant, wearing gold and silver, and cuddling with red and green? The women who accompany you are all beautiful and beautiful, and they can smile all over the city?" Wei Wei Always like talking, asking about Yu Zui.
"Yeah, isn't this a man's dream?" Yu Zui said, laughing and mocking Wei Jincheng in a low voice, "I understand why your eyes don't have a lustful light when you see a beautiful woman. There is a lion roaring in the east of the river. Is my wife very powerful?"
Looking at the lady's waist, it was unusual, Wei Jincheng blushed from Yu Zui's nonsense, he waved his hands and said: "No, no, it's not like you imagined, that is, I've been messing around in the past few years , Counting forward, counting to marriage and acquaintance, she has always been in charge of our family, and we have a very good relationship."
"Hehe, I believe this. Hey Mr. Wei, don't you have an affair?" Yu Zui said earnestly, as if deliberately spying on Old Wei's privacy.
"You're a policeman, you can check it out, and I won't be lenient about this kind of thing." Wei Jincheng said triumphantly, it seemed that there was, he smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't make fun of my wife for being ugly." , now that you have two dollars, you can find any kind of beautiful woman, but if you become a pauper one day, I won't dislike you, and you'll just have this ugly wife."
This is the highest evaluation for a poor wife. Yu Zui was quite moved when he heard it, but he didn't say anything good. He praised: "Wow, the taste of local tyrants is special, haha."
"I really can't speak vulgar words to you. You can disrespect me, but you can't disrespect my family." Wei Jincheng was displeased, and said a serious sentence. After hearing this sentence, Yu Zui hurriedly accompanied him to say sorry, old Wei It’s not fake that he walked away, he chased after him and said a few words, hey, Lao Wei suddenly realized that something was wrong, why was there a smell, stopped, smelled it, ouch, it all came from Yu Zui, he took a closer look Look, ouch, why did you fish this baby out of the cesspit.
"You... you... don't you have a unique hobby? The book talks about a man who chases stink, it seems like you are like that. What did you do to make it like this." Mr. Wei laughed dumbfounded.
"Mission, it's stinking in the river... don't you want your help?" Yu Zui said.
"How can I help you? You're really welcome. I just ate a bowl of noodles yesterday, and today I've come to ask for a return." Wei Jincheng said bluntly, his eyelids twitched.
"Small matter, let me lend you a place... find us a place to hide." Yu Zui whispered, dare to borrow a hiding place, not attracting attention, and not telling others, why Nirvana, Yu Zui kept a mystery , Did not say, Wei Jincheng was very curious, Yu Zui made a gesture, and when the car window was rolled down, Du Licai stuck his head out of the car window to say hello to him.
Old Du's disheveled hair, stubbled face, and fierce eyes still startled Old Wei.
"Will it work? Just borrow it, there is really nowhere to go, an important witness." Yu Zui asked.
Old Wei nodded, and said sternly, "Success, I have the space, but don't make trouble for me."
"Hey, you promised so readily, I will give you a vaccination in advance, there are a lot of bad guys in the police." Yu Zui said.
"It's not easy to be a bad guy. Although you have the temperament of a bad guy, you don't have the connotation of a bad guy. I can see that you are not a black policeman who is making money." He waved his hands without turning back and arranged: "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret, wait for me at the gate of the community."
"Hey, Old Wei, why don't you give me the money and see if I can get it?" Yu Zui asked with a smile behind him.
"This is also called...pretentiousness." Old Wei pointed back and left with a smile.
The tacit understanding between men is established in this way. Maybe Yu Zui has a good impression of this local tyrant with unique taste, and that local tyrant, I am afraid that he is also superior in knowing people, but Yu Zui did not find out where he was exposed flaw.
It seems that too many words will be lost, and the past cannot be kept close.
It's not right, I just met him once, this guy is not easy.
Back in the car, Shao Shuai drove and waited at the gate of the community. After a while, Wei Jincheng handed the car a key and an address. It is really good to be friends with local tyrants. Seeing how he made such a move, he might not have a few in his hand. What about a house
When Shao Shuai was driving on the road, Du Licai in the backseat asked Yu Zui vigilantly, "Yu, the car number is 348, is that one of our people in that van?"
Yu Zui looked in the side-view mirror and knew that the old anti-narcotics policeman might not be able to hide this trick, so he smiled and said, "I arranged it, it's okay."
"Responsible for monitoring this person?" Du Licai asked.
"That's right, he is Wei Jincheng. The State Office's field staff and the special staff of the Corps all believe that the Taoyuan Mansion he runs has drug-related crimes." Yu Zui said.
"Ah? Knowing that he has serious suspicions, you still have a close relationship with him?" Du Licai was taken aback. This is so fucking out of order. I've found a place for you."
That's right, Du Licai sighed and resigned to his fate. One person's strength is too weak, and he can't use his hands and feet at all. He also found the Taoyuan Mansion, but he hadn't even entered the door. Thinking about the relationship, he asked in a low voice: "Since we have found out that he has problems, then it shouldn't be far away. You and him are so close together." It’s too secretive, so there’s nothing to discover.”
"What's too close, I just met yesterday." Yu Zui said.
"I met yesterday? I'll lend you my place today?" Du Licai was puzzled again. Thinking about it just now, his heart skipped a beat, and he said nervously, "If he wants to recognize me, wouldn't it be... I see, are you putting I send it as bait?"
"Then do you agree? If it's him, something will happen to you." Yu Zui turned his head and narrowed his eyes.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Du Licai gritted his teeth, it didn't matter.
Yu Zui turned his head lazily, as if he said to himself: "I'm afraid it may not be him. Arresting a suspect is like finding a woman as a wife. If you look at the one who is suitable in terms of appearance and conditions, return him." Mom just won't be your wife... but the one you don't care about, will have a quilt with you, and then it will be forever."
Old Du stopped talking, he couldn't accept Yu Zui's rogue thinking, Shao Shuai persuaded Yu Zui with a bitter face: "Deputy Director Yu, you stink enough, don't stink anymore."
"How can you understand the leader's thinking, cut!" Deputy Director Yu rolled his eyes at him, leaned back in the chair, crossed his legs, and seized the time to catch up on sleep.
It took nearly half an hour to arrive at the destination, and the three of them were shocked. The residence that Lao Wei borrowed was actually a newly developed building in the suburbs adjacent to Nanzhai Park. It was a duplex with a structure of more than 200 square meters. There are not many people and cars in the community. It is obviously a high-end residence with low occupancy. When the door is opened, everyone is surprised. The room has all furniture, sofa and office space. I guess, It is the place where Wei Tuhao cultivated himself.
Yu Zui scrambled to take a bath, even took a bath and washed his clothes, and it was done in a short time. Seeing that it was still early, he lay on the sofa and took a nap. After less than an hour of sleep, Shao Shuai pulled him up again. His calls were all dialed to Shao Shuai's cell phone. When he heard it was a mouse, he got annoyed and cursed a few times, but the mouse told him stealthily: a fish has been hooked, and he is looking for you all over the world.
Hey, Yu Zui sat up in shock. Some time ago, he was arresting and arresting people all over the city. In fact, he himself knew who was involved in drugs among those who were arrested and who were scared away. According to Lao Xu's design, it is to create a "policeman" who is black from head to toe. When the eggs stink, flies will come to them after smelling the smell.
He certainly wouldn't trust the black police, but they would definitely use the black police, and sometimes the black police got more direct information than undercover agents.
Now that he jumped up, he asked curiously, "Who is it? Our own people?"
"It's so fucking unexpected. I'll give you a hundred chances, and you won't be able to guess it." Mouse said.
"Don't let me use my brain, I don't know that my IQ is not high, who is it?" Yu Zui asked.
"Ouyang Qingtian, do you believe it?" The mouse said a name.
This was the squad leader at the police academy. Yu Zui didn't like him very much. He pondered for a while and said, "No, no, it's definitely not him. It should be someone who has been familiar with him by name."
The unspoken rule is like this, to enter the door, first recognize the person, if an acquaintance introduces it, it will not be so authentic, the mouse asked: "Then how to answer him."
"Give me the number... I lost my phone." Yu Zui asked for the phone number, and after a while he sent it back. He adjusted his mentality, as if he was looking for the shameless feeling of being a black policeman, a corrupt official, or a wicked official. out phone:
"Hey, Ou Ritian, are you looking for me?"
"Hey, Deputy Director Yu, you have made an appearance." Ouyang Qingtian said in a hurried tone.
"I have something to say, I have to fart, I'm exhausted these days." Yu Zui said, he was really tired, and he didn't sleep at all last night.
"Then what are you busy with during this time?" Ouyang asked.
"What can we do? The general team is catching those of us outside as laborers. The World Anti-drug Day is coming soon, and the whole city is catching those who sell small bags." Yu Zui said, he knew that this was Ouyang's purpose.
"That's what I'm looking for, let's talk about love... Let's talk about whether you will give me face first, or I won't talk if you don't." Ouyang said.
"Who are you talking to? We arrested any of your relatives for selling small bags?" Yu Zui pretended to be an idiot, and Ouyang cursed on the phone: "Your relative only sells small bags. He is a superior, and he is trying to find a relationship with the Development Zone Bureau." , I searched and searched, and found that I and you are classmates, so let me say hello... Hey, let me say, is this serious?"
"You didn't say anything, how do I know if it's serious or not? There are so many arrests, there are several teams, who is it?" Yu Zui asked.
"I don't know either." Ouyang Qing was confused.
Come on, this is a questioner, here comes the tip. Yu Zui scolded directly: "You were an idiot when you were the squad leader, and you haven't made any progress until now, and you don't even know who to intercede with."
"Oh, I really don't know. Our leader just asked, what kind of action is it? Does it involve a lot of people? It's just a matter of helping." Ouyang Qingtian said.
"Ou Ritian, don't let me call you an idiot again, can you help me?" Yu Zui changed his tone.
"What do you mean?" Ouyang's voice on the phone subconsciously lowered.
"If you don't have acquaintances, follow the rules; if you have acquaintances, follow the unspoken rules. Do you need me to teach you?" Yu Zui scolded.
"Okay, I understand, then let their family members find you directly, you can figure it out, just don't throw them out." Ouyang said on the phone.
"Absolutely not, why arrest people? Don't you just wait for them to catch people?" Yu Zui said cheaply, teasing Ouyang: "Hey, if you are a poor guy who can't afford money, don't let him Come to the door, save me from watching."
"You criminal policemen are really shameless... That's it, they will go to you at work." Ouyang said on the phone, and buckled it.
Yu Zui looked at the phone, and was stunned for a long time. He still hadn't figured out how the relationship came about, how it went around, from strangers to chatting with classmates, and Ouyang Qingtian had always had high eyesight. Yu Ding, now he is also a deputy department-level cadre in the Xiaodian District Bureau. It seems that no matter who it is, this energy is not small.
When he put down the phone and got dressed to leave, he saw Du Licai standing at the door of the bathroom, staring at him obsessively. Yu Zui smiled and said, "What's the matter, old Du, this is no more comfortable than your basement living in an unfinished building."
"Be careful, people involved in drugs, they never use any means." Du Licai reminded.
"Don't worry, it's much easier to be a villain in a police uniform now than it was back then. No matter what the suspect is, he won't be able to blatantly deal with the police." Yu Zui said.
"I'm not worried about them." Du Licai said, looking at Yu Zui's ruffian-like appearance, and thinking about the awesome character of this guy driving a BMW, he said sadly for a while: "I'm afraid that you will be really successful in police uniform You're a scoundrel, you are not a person who can withstand threats and temptations."
Yu Zui was stunned, Shao Shuai laughed, Lao Du went back to the bathroom, Yu Zui pulled Shao Shuai angrily, punched him and said, "Smile, I told you yesterday, this is a Wonderful plan, multiple identities, being a Secret Service, a policeman, and an undercover agent, my god, I can hardly tell the truth from the fake, and the ace spy is nothing more than that."
"What a cheap spy, idiot." Shao Shuai commented, snorted, and suppressed all the complacency of Yu Zui.
…
At a quarter past eight, at the Development Zone Bureau, a red Hyundai was parked beside the curb.
The slender fingers of the driving girl flipped through the phone, there was some brief information on it, a photo, she looked young, with a dark complexion, like a gangster on the street, the introduction was also very simple, Yu Zui, twenty-five years old, Deputy director of the Development Zone Bureau, graduated from the Provincial Police Academy, hobbies, unknown; home address, unknown.
This is a very hasty task. She blinked her beautiful eyes. It should not be a trivial matter that Brother Ma and Brother Shen personally invited her to do it. In the non-black and white world she lived in, she knew that some people had great energy, but she couldn't see how powerful such a small branch chief could be, and it was worthy of Brother Shen's personal arrangement.
The second message is that a person named Sun Di was arrested by the police, and he must find a way to get it out. But according to Ma Shuo, if you can't get it out, you have to find a way to get close to this goal and look for opportunities. The key to open the distance between the two is in the bag. She stretched out her hand and twisted out a strip-shaped, golden brick, marked with the words CCB Gold. It was bought by the bank, 500 grams, such a heavy gift, buy it somewhere No problem with length.
Putting the gold bars within easy reach, she pulled down the makeup mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hairstyle was sideways, slightly permed, and undyed. Light makeup, finely trimmed eyebrows, and bright lipstick, this kind of dress doesn't look too colorful for this place, and it doesn't look shabby when facing the opposite sex. She is very satisfied, as always, satisfied with her appearance.
After straightening her clothes, she approached the sub-bureau with swaying catwalks, made an announcement in the duty room, and signed a name. The duty officer pointed to the location of Deputy Director Yu's office graciously. , the old man on duty was stunned for a long time.
When Qiaoying disappeared, he looked at the signature in disappointment: Yao Manlan.
The name is like the person, the graceful shape, and the fragrance of orchid and osmanthus.
Men share two tastes, one is food and the other is beauty. When this business card was handed to Yu Zui, he was really shocked. The woman's face was like a porcelain doll carved with jade. , when sitting down quietly, put your legs together, and put your hands respectfully on them... By the way, Deputy Director Yu has been paying attention to those legs. They are black silk, round and full, and they look very beautiful, and they must feel good in the hand.
When he gently put a glass of water on the coffee table, he dared to look at the face so beautiful that he dared not look directly at it, the snow-white neck, the slightly raised breast, and the clothes decorated with a string of round patterns inlaid with pearls. It seems to be highlighting the position on the chest, not so turbulent, but it makes the man look forward to it, to have a deep flow on her body.
"Director Yu...I'm really sorry to bother you...Director Yu." Yao Manlan yelled twice, and then excused Yu Zui who was sitting on the office chair swallowing saliva. Want to pretend to be a leader, but forgot the words, and said directly: "I'm very busy, really busy, if you have something to do, just tell me directly."
"It's not a big deal, it's just..." Yao Manlan's first impression of Yu Zui was very bad, she wondered if she should just put the gold bars in his hand, that would be in line with this kind of person's style.
"Look, it's turning the corner again. By the way, how did you know my classmate? It's just Ouyang Qingtian." Yu Zui asked.
"I don't know him. I'm asking a friend. A friend is asking a friend. There's no other way. I've come to you." Yao Manlan twitched her eyebrows, bowed down, with pitiful distress, obviously expressing her embarrassment to the other party.
"Then tell me, who is it and what did it do?" Yu Zui asked, the only thing he came here was to intercede with the arrested person.
"Sun Di." Yao Manlan said his name timidly.
"Sun Di? Let me think about it... Sun Di." Yu Zui could remember, but he still pretended to be busy, took the phone, and asked the serious crime team, hey, did you imprison a person named Sun Di? The other party said, "Isn't that from you?" Yu Zui covered the phone, pretending to be authentic, oh, yes, what happened? The other party said, I don't know. Yu Zuizai suddenly realized: Oh, drug-related... I see.
After the double reed performance, Director Yu frowns. He patted the table and said, "Girl, he's involved in drugs. It's not easy to handle. What's your relationship with this person? Are you trying to talk about this favor?"
"It's my cousin... Is the rest of the game serious?" Yao Manlan asked sadly, tears were about to drip from her eyes.
"The details of the case are not clear." Yu Zui said.
"But my cousin, you brought someone to arrest you." The girl said aggrievedly again, exposing Yu Zui's disguise.
Director Yu slapped his forehead, ah, yes, I forgot, yes, I remembered, our Zhuangzihe criminal police took him back in a joint operation that night, but don’t worry, it’s under criminal detention for the time being. I didn't find out that the Mengyuan KTV he ran was indeed involved in drugs.
"Then you save him. I'm just such a cousin. If he goes in, what will my sister-in-law do? Now I can't go out crying at home, and there are only mother and daughter left in the family. What can they do...Me too I have no other choice, so I beg you... As long as we can save him, we can pay as much as we want... Really, Director Yu, please save him..."
Yao Manlan shed tears instantly, although she was nagging while crying, but the sentence "As long as we can save him, let us do anything" was very clear, and she caught it, Director Yu's brows were obviously moving Yes, eyes are lewd, lips are trembling, it is swallowing saliva.
All men have this kind of virtue, she knows that this hurdle should be able to overcome.
Yu Zui knew better, this pitiful beauty, maybe her real identity is the special commissioner of the fucking underworld, who came to bribe him, but he didn't like it very much... Really, with such a good condition, why not seduce her
"That's not right, girl. Feelings belong to feelings. We still have to talk about principles. If he is really okay, we won't wrong the good guy. We will let him go soon. Go back and wait." Yu Zui adjusted Sit up and look away.
"I'm sorry, Director Yu... I shouldn't be like this, I... I'll go out for a while... I'm sorry..." Yao Manlan wiped her tears, this must be ugly, Director Yu waved her hand irritably: "Go slowly, comfort your sister-in-law, Be more open."
Just make a show, yo, I'm really gone, Yu Zui heard the sound of high heels clicking away, huh? He threw the newspaper on the table with a bang, and cursed bitterly: "Damn it, the underworld special agent is too bad. I'm so easy to be hooked, and you don't even tempt me all at once."
With a flick, I was so angry that I got up together, but I couldn't hold back the eagerness to move just now, and finally took the bait, and then ran away, but it was like a headless chicken scurrying around again, this time it was really annoying.
Get up together, just walk around with your hands behind your back, huh? I was taken aback. Just now, in front of the beautiful woman's seat, there was a golden stick in the glass of water.
Wow... This is a good way, I gave the gift without making a fuss, I wanted to return it but I couldn't return it, I didn't say anything, I was not afraid of the audio and video, it happened to be in the cup, Yu Zui got it in my hand, 500 grams, tens of thousands... His heart was pounding, and his perception changed all of a sudden. It seemed that the special commissioners from the underworld would handle the matter, and the matter was handled beautifully.
At this moment, the phone rang, and when he saw the number, he knew who it was. He was just a little surprised that the woman even found his office phone. He sat down and picked up the phone. There was a moment of silence on the phone, and the woman's voice was soft. He asked: "Director Yu, I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now, I really shouldn't take the liberty of disturbing you like this... Or, when you have time, we..."
"It's fine, it's fine, don't bother... Well, your cousin is fine, by the way, where are you now?" Yu Zui said in an official tone.
"I'm still downstairs." Yao Manlan said.
"Okay, then wait for a while, you and I go to the serious crime team." Yu Zui said.
"Then... thank you very much." Yao Manlan was suddenly happy.
Yu Zui called the support team and explained the general situation. He went downstairs wearing a majestic police uniform and saw the red Hyundai. Waving his hand: "Go, Jinsong Road."
"Do you need to bring him some daily necessities?" Yao Manlan asked cautiously, she was really afraid that this oily man wouldn't get in, so she threw the gold bar to her.
But she was wrong, the man didn't mention it at all, and said directly: "What daily necessities do you bring, take people away... Be careful, let's do this, it's not a big problem to smoke by yourself, but to sell it It’s not good, you’re right.”
"That's right, my cousin is actually quite a nice person, but sometimes it's unavoidable to drive KTV, those people are messy." Yao Manlan drove the car and walked side by side. This task was done well and the expected effect was achieved.
It was no different from what she imagined, this policeman was very good at pretending, he didn't say a word, and his expression was serious. When he arrived at Jinsong Road, he asked her to park the car at the intersection and wait. The fortified place is beyond her cognition, she only knows that it is difficult to get in and out, and most of them will be sent directly to prison after staying here for a while, which is the nightmare of everyone in the underground world.
It's strange, after a while, Director Yu came out with long hair, a flowered shirt, and a tired face. She gasped, she really didn't expect this person to have such great energy, just like this Let people out. She got out of the car quickly, called Sun Di's cousin from a distance, and invited the bewildered Sun Di into the car, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
That buddy has been locked up for four or five days, and he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to look at Yu Zui directly. Yao Manlan said thankfully, "Thank you, Director Yu... I never expected that I would see the real Buddha."
"If you want to kill people and set fire to me, I really can't help it. It's a small matter. Be careful. If you don't have a criminal record, you'll just be detained and fined. I'll take care of the rest." The expression on his face was about to shake hands, Yu Zui shook hands, and with an affectionate look and a lewd smile, Yao Manlan invited: "You won't mind, I'll treat you to dinner some other day."
"If it's the two of us, I don't mind at all." Yu Zui said.
"That's settled." Yao Manlan winked.
"No problem, please." Yu Zui smiled.
The two of them said a few words, and it seemed that they had the tendency to hook up. Yu Zui didn't find it abrupt, and the beauty didn't feel surprised. When they got in the car and left, they even blew a playful kiss to the leader.
The car sped away with a whine, the beautiful woman in the car was in a good mood, the suspect Sun Di who was put in the back seat complimented: "Thank you, Yaomei, I fucking thought it was over this time, the grandsons of the second team, put me Go to the death trial, if you come later, I can't hold it anymore."
"Stop flattering me, I lost a gold bar, the money is yours." Yao Manlan said bluntly, her tone was very hard.
"That is, how dare I ask my elder brother to pay for this money... Hey, this man is a ruthless man. He has arrested many of our brothers quietly, so be careful when dealing with him." Sun Di said, with that tone of admiration It's too much to add.
"Men are not all virtuous. Touching money during the day and touching women at night. What's so scary? As long as he is willing, we may not be able to support him." Yao Manlan said disdainfully, with that pure face and tone of vicissitudes , is such a poor fit.
The car merged into traffic and disappeared.
But on the screen captured by the support team, it can no longer disappear. This hidden underground world begins to reveal a corner from here...
