Riverside police

Xishan Province, Baligou Mining Area.

A large truck pulling coal passed by, raising a cloud of dust that choked people and made it difficult to breathe.

Shi Shengyong squinted his eyes and wiped his face, which suddenly turned into a "five-colored face", and his hands were covered with soot dust.

His face, neck, and clothes were all covered in dirt. Li Shichang, who came together to arrest the fugitives, was afraid that the steamed buns he just bought would be stained with dirt, so he hurriedly stuffed the warm steamed buns into his satchel.

The two walked along the dirt road, which was bumpy and bumpy under the weight of the big car, and the dust could cover the uppers of their shoes when they stepped on it. They returned to the small hotel next to the post office. Xiao Liu, the police assistant who stayed in the room looking at the luggage, hurriedly went to fetch water. Wash their faces.

There is no bed in the room, only a Tukang.

There was dust everywhere, which I was really not used to when I first came here.

But this is a mining area, not a city. They couldn't find a better accommodation environment, so the three of them could only do as the Romans do.

Xiao Liu cleaned the table, took out the steamed buns and pork head meat from Li Shichang's bag, turned around and took out the half bottle of wine that he had not finished last night, and sighed while helping to pour the wine.

"Shisuo, Brother Li, although this place is dirty, the people here are quite wealthy. Several off-road vehicles imported from Japan passed by the door just now, and there is a karaoke bar in front."

"There are coal mines everywhere here. Where there are mines, there is money."

Li Shichang washed his face and carefully cleaned the mud between his fingernails. The half-filled basin of clean water suddenly became as turbid as the water of the Yangtze River.

Shi Shengyong had long noticed the karaoke bar that Xiao Liu mentioned. When he went out at noon, he even saw two young women dressed in gorgeous clothes and looking seductive at the door of the karaoke hall. He could almost conclude that the two women were in the flesh business.

If it is in Sichang Town, we will definitely crack down hard.

But this is someone else's jurisdiction, and we are asking local colleagues for help, so we can only pretend we didn't see it.

Xiao Liu didn't know what the director was thinking, so he couldn't help but ask: "Shisuo, have you found the Baligou Police Station?"

"I found it. I was asked to ask for help."

Shi Shengyong took off his dirty shoes, sat cross-legged on the earthen kang, picked up his chopsticks and sighed softly: "I didn't expect that this place is similar to our Fourth Factory before. There are actually two police stations. One is from the local public security bureau, and the other is from the coal mine. From the Public Security Department, it’s too late today. We’ll go to the police station on the mine tomorrow morning.”

Xiao Liu asked curiously: "How is the relationship between their two families?"

"From the tone of the big brother I met in the afternoon, the relationship between the two families is not very good. But it has nothing to do with us. We are here to arrest people, as long as we can take them back."

"I have been out for seven days and have visited three mines. Is Xu Chunhua hiding here?"

"He should be hiding in this area. Where else can he go but hide here."

Xu Chunhua was a member of Group 2 of Dongfeng Village, Sichang Town. His crime was not serious, he was just suspected of theft, but the impact was extremely bad.

He stole bicycles, fish and grains raised by others, sheep raised by village elders, chickens raised by farmers, and even poisoned dogs raised by others to sell. There was almost nothing he did not steal.

In the twelfth lunar month of 1989, even his two cousins, who were equally unlearned, stole the New Year's goods from almost all the villagers' houses in a village group in a neighboring village, including salted fish, bacon, brown sugar, candied dates, dried chicken, and oil. ...a boat full!

The modus operandi of the crime has evolved from stealing sheep at the beginning to reaching people's doorsteps at night, locking the villagers in their homes with locks, then going to the chicken shed to catch chickens, picking sheep from the sheep nest, prying open the kitchen to collect New Year's goods, and even prying open the utility room. Use snakeskin bags (woven bags for fertilizers) to carry grain.

They say rabbits don’t eat grass near their nests, but he was so good at it that he even stole it from his own team’s neighbors.

Dongfeng and several surrounding villages were deeply affected. Yang Xihui targeted the Xu brothers as soon as he took office.

But Xu Chunhua was too vigilant and kept two big wolf dogs at home.

Although he was very careful during the arrest, he still alerted the dog. When Xu Chunhua heard the wolf dog barking, he kicked open the concrete window behind the west room, climbed through the window and jumped into the river and ran away.

He has a wife and a daughter.

His wife was from out of town, had some brain problems, and was not good-looking. There were rumors that he was having an affair with a neighbor's widow.

Shi Shengyong grasped this clue and immediately went to find the widow.

Unexpectedly, the rumors were true. The widow admitted to having an affair with Xu Chunhua, and revealed that Xu Chunhua secretly returned to Factory No. 4 in June of the year before last, and even took her to the Baligou Mining Area in Xishan to live together for three months.

Because she was not used to the climate and food here, and because she was worried about her child, she returned to Factory No. 4 from Xishan. The two of them still kept in touch until three months ago. Xu Chunhua even wired her a thousand yuan four months ago.

Visits and inquiries in the past few days have also confirmed this.

It's just that we arrived late. Several workers who had worked with Xu Chunhua to dig coal said that Xu Chunhua had a falling out with the foreman three months ago and came here with another worker.

I am not familiar with the place, so I can only rely on local colleagues for help.

Shi Shengyong was thinking about whether to treat someone to a meal tomorrow when Li Shichang suddenly asked: "Shi Suo, is there anyone at Jiang Suo?"

"Not at the moment. When I called them at noon, I asked Li Jiao to tell them that since they came out, they should search carefully and ask them not to be reluctant to pay for the car and travel expenses. They will search for a week if they really can't find anyone and then go back."

"We are all out catching fugitives, and there are only three people left in the cell. Can Li teach them how busy they can come?"

When it comes to the work in the institute, Shi Shengyong mused: "I didn't expect that Xianyu would take the overall situation into consideration at the critical moment. Knowing that there was a shortage of people in the institute, he offered to take turns with Lao Zhang and Lao Ding to be on duty in the institute."

"This is not considering the overall situation. He is now a police officer in the station. The station is too busy, so he should go to the station to help."

To become a squadron leader at the age of twenty-two is nonsense.

If he wasn't Xu Sanye's apprentice, how could he be the squadron leader?

The more Li Shichang thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he couldn't help but said: "Shi Suo, there is something I don't know whether to talk about or not."

"Speak directly if you have anything to say, and if there is anything you shouldn't say, please tell me."

"When Wu Qingjun was handed over to the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Jiang and I conducted another interrogation. Wu Qingjun said that he was caught by Xianyu and Xiaoyu. Jiang Jiao from the Bailonggang Police Station did not take action at all, and he did not see the Baishen. Take the police."

Shi Shengyong put down his wine bowl, raised his head and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Li Shichang always felt strange and couldn't hold it in anymore. He said bluntly: "I doubt that this matter has anything to do with the Bailonggang Police Station and the Baishen Police Team."

It doesn’t matter, we should treat it as relevant!

If it really didn't matter, how could we scare those factory leaders at that time?

Shi Shengyong was secretly lamenting that the old comrade in front of him who had been in the police for nearly ten years was even less aware of the overall situation than Xianyu. Li Shichang couldn't help but muttered: "God knows who has the 200,000 yuan sponsored by the Fourth Factory. He helped others." If he makes a fortune, even if he doesn't give it all to him, he will still get some kickbacks."

When it comes to money, Shi Shengyong feels that Li Shichang's suspicion has some validity.

The office spent 100,000 yuan, but after paying off the foreign debt and paying back the salary of the cooperating police officers, there was only more than 20,000 yuan left. Now he and Jiang Hai are out to catch fugitives. Although it is not a waste of money, the total expenses for both parties are seven to eight thousand.

Sichang Town will not be peaceful just because of a strict crackdown. Cases of one kind or another will definitely occur in the future. As long as a case occurs, money will be spent to detect it.

Several police assistants will still have to pay their salaries.

The car needs to be refueled, and the electricity, phone and water bills have to be paid.

In addition to the two fugitives who are searching for their whereabouts, there are still several fugitives to catch.

In short, there are many places to spend money next. The little money left is only enough to last three or four months.

Shi Shengyong pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "He is a small rich man. His squadron leader is richer than me, the director."

"I have saved more than 30,000 yuan in oil tickets alone, and I am sure it will be more than that now."

"Not only can we do anything to him, he has been neighbors with Bailonggang Police Station and Baishen Police Team for so many years. They are as good as wearing a pair of trousers. Even if I ask Li Jiao to check the accounts, I can't find anything."

"Shi Suo, are you saying that he will set up the small treasury at the Bailonggang Police Station?"

"It's possible."

"Isn't this nonsense? The management of Changhang Branch is too chaotic."

"He grew up watching Zhang Junyan, the director of the Changhang Branch. Zhang Junyan is now in the right position and has a higher level than Director Yang. If Zhang Junyan helps him cover, what can we do."

"Isn't he eating everything inside and outside?"

"Xianyu doesn't take the overall situation into consideration on some issues, but he is also unlikely to share or even embezzle public funds. If he really wants to make a lot of money, he has a way. I heard that it is difficult to get his sailing certificate, and shipping companies need A talent like him can earn at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a year as long as he wants to join the ship."

"so much!"

"There may be more than that. I've heard that if you just help the Port Supervision Bureau and the Port Authority to pilot, you only need to pilot three or four times a month, and you can get thousands of dollars a month."

Li Shichang couldn't believe this was true, and murmured: "He obviously has a better way out, why does he have to go through such trouble?"

Shi Shengyong couldn't help but think of Xu Sanye, and said helplessly: "The barge and the old tugboat are Xu Sanye's political heritage. He is Xu Sanye's close disciple, so he is determined to help Xu Sanye keep this legacy. And according to what I know You know, he was fully involved in the construction of the barge, and he even upgraded and renovated the tugboat."

"He participated in the construction and upgraded it by himself. How old was he at that time?"

"His father is an employee of a shipping company. He grew up on a ship. He can not only sail a ship but also repair it."

"So he values ​​those two ships more than anything else!"

"Those two boats were Xu Sanye's lifeblood before, but now they are his lifeblood and the foundation of his career in our public security system. Without those two boats, how could he be the captain of the Marine Police Squadron?"

"But he is now a policeman in the station, so he can't just think about those two boats."

"Yeah, so a person can't get into trouble. Once he gets in, he can't get out."

Li Shichang asked in a low voice: "What should we do now?"

Shi Shengyong thought for a while and said calmly: "If it hadn't been for him this time, the institute wouldn't have been able to get through the difficulty. It just doesn't make sense to borrow money from him now. Since he has a sense of the overall situation and knows that there is a shortage of people in the institute and takes the initiative to go on duty in the institute, then From now on, let him participate in all matters big and small in the institute, after all, he is the squadron leader."

Treat Xianyu as half the leader of the institute and discuss everything with him. If the institute encounters financial constraints in the future, he cannot stand idly by.

Li Shichang reacted and grinned: "This is a good idea. I will respect him more in the future."
