District 9

He didn’t have too many friends who had been in the anti-terrorist brigade. They usually had nothing to do. Although he ate and drank with a few people in the circle, it was limited to exchanges of wine and meat. It was mostly about socializing, but he was the only one with Xiao Xiao. Tong's emotional basis is different. The two were classmates at the police academy at the same time, and were later assigned to the same brigade. They also had similar personalities and interests, so they got along very well. Otherwise, they would not have approached him at this time.

Xiao Tong asked Li Zhan if he was hiding something from him, and he was obviously worried. And if Li Zhan didn't tell the truth at this time and still lived here, it would probably cause a gap between friends, so he thought about it again and again before softly replying: "...I bumped into something accidentally. It may be related to the election of the chief councilor of Xinyuan District, which is very involved... Now there are people outside looking for me, so I don’t want to stay in Songjiang anymore.”

Xiao Tong was stunned: "What happened?"

Li Zhan hesitated again and again: "I killed someone in self-defense."

Xiao Tong was stunned.

"Brother, don't ask for specific details. It won't do you any good." Li Zhan lowered his head and said, "I'll stay with you for two or three days at most, and then I'll leave."

"Why don't you go back to the team and make it clear?" Xiao Tong persuaded with a pale face: "Can running solve the problem? And... you have no job, what can you do outside the district? How will you live?"

"It's hard to explain clearly." Li Zhan waved his hand and replied: "The group of people who are looking for me now have powerful backgrounds in the city. They are all in the political and judicial systems. I accidentally If this happens, they will definitely shut me up forever... As soon as I show my face, my life will definitely be in danger, and no one from the anti-terrorist brigade will care about me."

Li Zhan couldn't explain certain things to Xiao Tong too clearly. For example, when Han Fei killed Brother Yan and he bumped into him, he must not let it slip, otherwise he might harm himself and his friends. At the same time, he also knew very well that the Han family had very strong official relations in Songjiang. There had been an infighting between the military and the party and the government for some time now. As the main direct witness, once he showed up, he would be caught between the two major parties. Between factions, one's life may be at risk in a matter of minutes. And this was also the reason why he did not choose to go to Qin Yu. There was no basis of trust between the two parties. Would Li Zhan dare to entrust his life to him?

Xiao Tong stood in the sales room, lowered his head and took a deep breath from the cigarette: "Then what are your plans?"

"I'm going to do some errands these two days, and I'll leave the area after I'm done." Li Zhan sat on the steps of the stairs and replied with his head lowered.

"How will you live outside the district?"

"I will find a way." Li Zhan raised his head and said softly to Xiao Tong: "You don't need to come these two days to save yourself the trouble. I will give you a call when I leave."

"Okay." Xiao Tong nodded.

"Thank you, brother!" Li Zhan thanked him gratefully.

"Why are you talking about this?" Xiao Tong took out his wallet from his pocket, took out all the cash and said, "Here is 8,000 yuan. You can take it for emergencies."

Li Zhan stood up, reached out and patted Xiao Tong's shoulder heavily without saying another word.

…

In the evening, around seven o'clock.

When Xiao Tong returned home, his wife had already prepared food, and a pair of four- and five-year-old twin siblings were running around the house.

"Why didn't you answer the phone just now? I called you several times." The daughter-in-law asked as she walked out of the kitchen carrying food.

Xiao Tong glanced at his wife unnaturally: "The phone is out of battery."

"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat." The wife urged.

Xiao Tong walked into the bathroom in a daze, and while he was washing his hands with his head down, his daughter ran over, wearing a cartoon mask on her face, and shouted lively and cutely: "Dad, I am an angel."

Xiao Tong looked at her and grinned: "Hurry up and wash your hands, don't be a monster."

During dinner, a pair of children were laughing and playing. The daughter-in-law was holding food for Xiao Tong and said with a smile: "Eat more, you have a rest next week, and we will go to the mall to buy an electric massage chair for our mother. Dad is gone. She and her family are very depressed, we need to visit her more..."

Xiao Tong was startled: "Yeah."

After dinner, the wife and two children sat cross-legged on the sofa and watched cartoons on the online broadcast station. Xiao Tong stood at the door of the bedroom and glanced at them. All he saw was warmth and joy...

…

Xinyuan District, on the street next to Wang's construction site.

Han Fei was sitting in the car smoking a cigarette. After waiting for a long time, he saw Wang Zongxiang walking quickly from the front of the car, holding the door open and sitting in the passenger seat.

"Is there something going on at the warehouse?" Wang Zongxiang was not polite. After getting into the car, he turned around and asked Han Fei.

"Yes," Han Fei nodded: "There was a problem. A police officer from the Anti-Terrorism Brigade accidentally bumped into the incident."

"What do you mean by accidentally bumping into it...?" Wang Zongxiang was puzzled.

Han Fei smoked a cigarette and softly explained the ins and outs of the matter to the other party.

After Wang Zongxiang heard this, he scolded with a sullen face: "Why do I feel like everything is not going well lately? It's like someone is targeting us behind the scenes!"

"No." Han Fei shook his head: "This police officer from the anti-terrorism brigade bumped in accidentally. I have already investigated it."

"Did he see you dealing with Lao Yan?" Wang Zongxiang asked.

"I didn't see me touching him, but I saw him disposing of the body." There was no need for Han Fei to hide it from the Wang family, because the two parties were now completely tied to each other, and they had done too many dirty things together, and they were almost ready to kill him. This is a serious matter.

Wang Zongxiang was silent.

"This person should have been targeting us since something happened in the dormitory building." Han Fei added again: "I don't know how much he has in his hands now."

"He must be killed." Wang Zongxiang gritted his teeth and said, "The matter in the dormitory building cannot be extraneous."

"Someone from the Anti-Terrorism Brigade is helping me look for him. There should be news soon." Han Fei comforted him softly: "As soon as Yu Lijun and Yang Gang enter, I will leave the area sooner or later, so you don't have to worry about me. By the way, just do what you are doing well."

Wang Zongxiang pondered for a long time, then turned around and said, "I have something to discuss with you."

"What?"

"A few people who are running for chief councilor have been holding receptions recently. I'm thinking about whether we should hold one too and bring in some representatives from outside the district who can get loose votes to have a party. Although the number of votes has increased, It doesn't matter if you want this group of people or not, but you still have to have the necessary etiquette. To get promoted and make a fortune, it doesn't make sense that you don't treat guests." Wang Zongxiang said his thoughts softly.

"Of course we have to do it, and we have to do it in a big way." Han Fei said without hesitation: "The more troubled the time, the more trouble we have to make. There are rumors outside that the fire in the dormitory building has something to do with us. Relationship, then if you don’t entertain everyone else, doesn’t it show that we are guilty?”

"Yes." Wang Zongxiang nodded.

"Let's do it the day after tomorrow," Han Fei licked his lips and said, "Let's do it big."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements." Wang Zongxiang agreed.

…

at the same time.

Li Zhan walked alone into the planned area of ​​Xinyuan District that had not yet started construction. There were no human traces for seven or eight kilometers around it, and it was all a vast stretch of wasteland and snow shells.

Li Zhan was wrapped in a military coat, looked carefully at the ruts on the ground, and walked bit by bit deeper into the field...
