Siheyuan, Rainwater is the master, Shazhu wins

He rode his bicycle slowly to the door of the police station.

He stopped the car, took a deep breath, and walked into the police station.

As soon as he entered the police station, he went straight to Director Zhao's office. When he opened the door, he saw Director Zhao sitting at his desk, busy at work.

"What's wrong? You look very unhappy."

Director Zhao raised his head, looked at him and asked.

He frowned and spoke in a low voice.

“We may have made a big mistake.”

Director Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion.

“Oh? How big is it?”

He gritted his teeth and spoke in a low voice.

“This incident involves smuggling and military personnel.”

After hearing this, Director Zhao stood up suddenly and stared at Director Wang.

“Did the other party say who it was?”

Director Wang shook his head.

"It only mentioned a person named Lai Xiaosan, a name I have never heard of. It is said that he is a child of a large compound and has a complicated background. You'd better report it to your superiors."

Director Zhao was silent for a moment, then sat down and tapped the table with his fingers.

"It cannot be reported. Currently, only you, me, the two comrades, and him know about this. This is already the smallest scope. If it expands further, it will be difficult to control the source of the news."

Director Wang said worriedly.

"But if the other party really has a military background, it will be very troublesome. What should we do?"

Director Zhao straightened up and spoke with a firm look in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid. As long as we have enough evidence, we don't have to be afraid of them. We police officers are not pushovers. We also have our own connections and resources."

Director Wang nodded to show that he understood.

"The most important thing now is to protect his family. After all, people should be honest. You go and make the arrangements."

Director Wang thought about it and suggested.

"It would be best if the two policemen stayed with him to ensure that the news did not leak out."

Director Zhao nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I understand. Go ahead and do it. Time is running out, and we must act quickly."

Only after Director Wang left did Director Zhao pick up his phone and start making calls.

I started contacting some friends in the compound, asking them whose child this Lai Xiaosan was.

After making more than a dozen phone calls, he finally learned about the other party's family background, which made him feel very difficult.

It turns out that Lai Xiaosan's father is now a powerful man. He not only controls the army, but also holds an important position in Tianjin Customs.

No wonder he was able to engage in smuggling activities so easily, it turned out that there were insiders involved.

Even the higher authorities would probably have a headache facing such a situation, which put Director Zhao in a difficult situation.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to meet with his old leader in private and ask for his help and advice.

So he walked out of the office and rode his bike to a military compound.

After arriving at the destination, he told the guard his name and the leader he was looking for, and was brought into the courtyard a few minutes later.

Even though he is the director of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, this is not a place where anyone can enter and exit at will.

However, when he just stepped into this place, he was stopped by an old woman...

"Xiao Zhao, how come you have the free time to visit your teacher today?"

"Oh my, I've run into a tough problem, so I came all the way here to ask him for some advice!"

"Haha, you're so busy all day that you only think of this old man when you need help!"

"Come on, hurry up, he is reading a newspaper in the study. Stay and have dinner with us tonight, or I won't entertain you next time!"

"Okay, I understand."

You know, the person in front of you is the leader’s wife!

She was brought to the capital after liberation, so she did not have too many strict requirements for visiting guests.

However, since he used to be the old leader's bodyguard and they were very familiar with each other, he spoke to him in this slightly reproachful tone.

After all, this only happens between close people.

Then he walked into the study, and as soon as he entered, he saw the old leader reading a newspaper intently.

He stepped forward quietly and spoke softly.

"Old leader, you still maintain this habit. Even when you stay at home, you always pay attention to national affairs."

"Oh, it's you! Why did you suddenly come to see me when you're not busy maintaining order in the city at the Public Security Bureau?"

"Is it because of the unexpected surprise mentioned in the newspaper?"

As he spoke, he pointed to a newspaper in front of him.

What was reported in this newspaper was the previously mentioned incident in which the police reaped an unexpected surprise while investigating a case.

"The chief is indeed very good at predicting things! That's right, I came here this time precisely because of this case."

"I got a piece of information by accident, but I didn't expect to end up looking up a person I shouldn't have looked up."

"Oh? Is this person of high status?"

"Well, you can say that. At present, he holds the real power. I dare not take the risk of further investigation, so I came here to seek your instructions."

"Well, this situation is not uncommon in smuggling cases. Usually when you encounter an insider committing a crime, it will most likely involve some relatives, just like the skinheads in the past. They are either brothers-in-law or sisters, and as a result, nothing can be done."

"But our situation is different now. Time is of the essence. If we can't control it in time, I'm afraid there will be big problems."

"Oh, yes, that's why I decided to come to you to discuss countermeasures after careful consideration."

"Okay, then tell me first, what is this person's name?"

"His name is Lai Xiaosan. His father is not only in charge of the affairs of a division, but also serves as a director of the Tianjin Customs."

"It's him, doesn't he look like that kind of person?"

"Maybe his son did it himself. There are so many cases of second-generation people cheating their fathers."

"Yes, that's right. So, you should find out the clues first. It would be best if you have solid evidence. Then I will help you with the operation."

"Besides saving your time, you won't offend some people. After all, the other party is much higher than you."

"okay, I get it."

He received clear instructions, which made him feel more at ease and more confident in his work.

As night fell and the lights came on, he enjoyed a sumptuous dinner here with the old leader's family.

After dinner, he chatted with the old leader and his wife for a while, then got up and said goodbye and left.

As soon as he returned to his office, he called Director Wang.

"Hello, Director Zhao, what instructions do you have?"

"Well, Lao Wang, you should quickly assign a special team to investigate this case and make sure to get to the bottom of it. Remember, don't act rashly without solid evidence. If this case is handled well, you may even be able to become deputy director."

Director Wang was excited after hearing what Director Zhao said.

He knew that this was a rare opportunity. If he could successfully solve the case, he would not only gain recognition from his superiors, but also have the prospect of promotion.

"Please rest assured, Director. I will do my best to find out the truth as soon as possible!" Director Wang promised.

"There should be no relevant file records of your case in the police station, and the case cannot be handled in the police station. You must find a safe and secluded location to ensure absolute confidentiality."

Director Zhao emphasized in a serious tone.

"clear."
