1999

The gossip that had been circulating in the factory area since the morning fermented rapidly, and by noon, the impact had already been considerable. Although the business in Huda’s shop was not booming at this time, there would always be a few tables of customers. Back and forth, there were crowds of onlookers who looked around and hurriedly avoided, blocking the narrow alleys, but no one dared to step into the store.

The rumors have already changed, and they are spreading outside. Boss Hu, who has a scar on his face, washed his hands in a golden basin because of an unsightly infectious disease. He was reduced to living as a cook in the street. Do some unclear things with a man, he can't touch the things he handles, be careful if you are not careful, you will be infected, it is a terminal disease that cannot be cured.

The shops adjacent to the left and right also suffered because of this, and their business was affected. It's just that Hu Da's background was mysterious and fierce, and the shopkeepers dared not speak out. Hu Da understood that if he looked more like a persimmon, those onlookers would It is possible to enter the store with a knife, gun, sword and halberd to drive him away forcibly.

But he can't leave yet, he has to guard this small door and wait here for Wu Jiusheng to come back.

This is not just his small shop alone, there is also a young man living here. Although it is simple and dilapidated, the house is barren, but the young man regards it as his home from the bottom of his heart, even when Huda wanted to leave it and leave. From time to time, he rarely got on with himself and lost his temper.

Hu Da should have been angry at the young man's ignorance, but when he thought of the deep reluctance in those tearful eyes at that time, his heart softened all of a sudden for no reason.Up to this point, there was only a touch of melancholy left.

Hu Da was ready to compromise, since Wu Jiusheng didn't want to leave, then he shouldn't leave either.It's just that the current situation is already extremely troublesome——

He knew that the young man had handed over the memory obtained last night to Simao's people, and he had also seen the contents of the USB flash drive he found in the lock bar of the front door when he opened the store this morning. Wu Jiusheng had written it clearly in it. , he modified the form file extracted from the memory, which is equivalent to handing over a wrong security patrol schedule to Simao, and saved the correct file in the USB flash drive and left it to Hu Da.He also wrote that he hoped that Huda would call the police immediately after receiving the message he left, so that Simao and his gang could be confiscated on the night of the operation. It is hoped that the punishment will be real. Once the relevant personnel involved in the case are sent to prison, the problem that Hu Da is worried about being captured by the local forces will not exist, and the electronics factory will not have any substantial losses.

Wu Jiusheng thought it was an appropriate solution, and even specifically told Hu Da not to worry, his original task was only to deliver messages, and he would come back when he finished delivering the memory sticks.

But he didn't come back.

Hu Da was helpless and anxious, and just wanted to catch the young man back into his arms and teach him a lesson—Wu Jiusheng even said in the message that he hadn't completely calmed down, and that he would settle the rest with Hu Da after he came back, which was full of grievances. The tone of a young adult who thinks he can control the situation, but he has no idea how risky the solution he thought of is.

Hu Da is different, he has experienced prison experience, and he will not be as naive as Wu Jiusheng.

Even if the stolen goods are obtained according to the most ideal situation, it is not certain that all the relevant personnel will be wiped out by calling the police alone. The criminal gangs like Si Mao are often intertwined. When a wave of people enters, there will always be fish that escape the net. Under the circumstances, even if there is no such thing, as long as the people in prison have the intention of revenge, either spend money to buy murder, or do some tricks during the testimony session, the young people are likely to be implicated, and there is no guarantee that they will escape unscathed.That was also the reason why Huda backed down so much in the beginning.

But it's too late to say anything now.

Near noon, he received a text message from Wu Jiusheng. In the text message, the young man called him Brother Da, a name he had never called before, and told Hu Da that he was going back to his hometown after leaving for a few days.

Not to mention that from the family situation that Wu Jiusheng once confessed, the possibility of him suddenly choosing to return to that nightmare family for him is almost zero. Even if he wants to go back, with the angry attitude of the young man when he left last night , I will definitely not notify myself in such a strange and polite tone.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Hu Da understands that today's young people may no longer be able to control their personal freedom.He didn't know who took the young man away, and where he was taken away. He was just a cook in a fly restaurant around a gas stove. With his background, it was impossible to catch up with the young man and keep him safe. strip back.

Huda sat at the table, buried his face between his palms, and sighed.

Noisy human voices came from the street full of malicious gazes outside the door.

A police car drove across the bridge along the rugged river, but because it was not familiar with the road conditions, it got stuck at the entrance of the alley at the entrance of the living area, and because it was inconvenient for the crowd to reverse the original road and return to the main road, it had to be stranded in the right place. In the middle, the car horn was honking in vain.

I don't know who called the police. The migrant workers and business people who were watching looked at each other, and there was a secret expectation in their hearts. thing.

Those dangerous rumors about Huda are always shocking, and there are few people on the ground to provoke him. It would be best if he could be handed over to the police.

In a burst of inexplicable joy in a low voice, Yan Tian, ​​the head of the Public Security Detachment of the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau, opened the door and got out of the car, receiving the baptism of the eager eyes of several people.

He squinted and took a look deeper into the alley, put on his police cap and briefcase, and headed straight for Huda's Jiujiu BBQ.

A few sporadic cheers erupted from around.

"Great! The police are really going to catch that homosexual!"

"Homosexuality is not illegal, so why would the police be called out? It seems that the rumors are true, and he has that disease!"

When Yan Tian heard this, the corners of his mouth tightened, and he frowned deeply.

"Your business is so bad, what are you doing with the door open? I think you should close the shop and go to the city to get a health certificate and stick it on the wall. Why are you still infected with AIDS? Do you still want to be in this area?" Living?"

As soon as he stepped into the store, he immediately spoke to Huda.

Greased all over his apron, the owner of the barbecue shop with messy hair looked up, smiled at him, and shrugged noncommittally.

"If I close the door, where is the place waiting for you to come?" He asked Yan Tian back.

Yan Tian also smiled heartily, not minding the rudimentary furnishings in Huda's store at all, he pulled out a chair and sat down.

Only then did Hu Da stand up, walk to the door, hang up the door sign of "Closed Business" in a serious manner, tear off the front door, and lock it.Then, he turned around and stared at Yan Tian in front of him with a serious expression.

If you count it, Hu Da and this security detachment Captain Yan should be considered old acquaintances.

This is all thanks to Yu Shujian, a political officer in the prison area where Hu Da was 99 years old when he went to the prison to serve his sentence at the end of 18. In the first half, he was teaching Hu Da how to strive for a positive performance and reduce his sentence, which had a profound influence and help on Hu Da. Around 2005, Yu Shujian left his prison and was transferred to work in the Department of Justice. After retiring from the judicial system, he went to Guangdong Police Academy as a visiting professor.Yan Tian was one of the students who studied under Yu Shujian back then. Until now, he still calls Yu Shujian "Teacher Yu".It was also Teacher Yu who recommended Yan Tian to Hu Da when he was released after serving his sentence.

At that time, an early Huda was released from prison half a year ago and had close contacts with Huda in prison. He once said that the ex-convicts who could join him after Huda was released from prison were suspected of participating in organized drug distribution activities in Shenzhen.After the police raided the den several times but ended in failure, Yan Tian thought of Hu Da.Under his persuasion, Hu Da, who had served his sentence, worked as a police informant for Yan Tian's sub-bureau for about half a year. He took the lead and contacted his former inmates, so as to dig out the upper and lower lines of the drug trade and help in the anti-drug campaign. The team arrested and brought to justice all the people involved in the entire production and trading chain. For this, Hu Da also received a police reward of almost 8 yuan, and left his name in the informant contact book of the Public Security Bureau.It's just that since then, Hu Da has started a small business with the bonus as the initial capital, and has never had any cooperation with the police.

This time he took the initiative to contact the police station, which also shocked Yan Tian.

Yan Tian originally thought that Hu Da was just reminiscing about the past, but as soon as he sat down, a USB flash drive was brought up under his nose.When Hu Da was in prison, he was specially organized to study legal knowledge. He knew the key points when dealing with police officers like Yan Tian. He explained it so plainly that Yan Tian was taken aback for a moment.Immediately afterwards, he asked about the purpose of meeting Yan Tian this time.

"Is there any play in letting that kid be the criminal informant for this operation?"

The so-called criminal informant is an informant who is engaged in illegal and criminal activities and provides information about the criminal activities of the person involved to the public security organs in the middle of committing a crime in exchange for the opportunity to commit crimes and perform meritorious service.This type of informant, because the criminal activities have not yet been carried out, and has avoided the case from the final fact, will generally be exempted from the final penalty, and will not be recorded in the personal file, and will be reported by the public. For Wu Jiusheng, entering the file under his name and receiving information protection from the public security organs is the most suitable way out under the current circumstances.

It's just that the conditions for becoming a criminal informant are more stringent, especially when the person making the request is not the person himself. After listening to this, Yan Tian raised his eyebrows and looked at Hu Da with a half-smile.

"What's the origin of this kid? It's worth your worrying about him?"

Although Yan Tian said so, his hands were not idle. He asked Hu Da for Wu Jiusheng's personal information, edited a message on his mobile phone and sent it out in a few clicks, so that everyone in the team Colleagues first help to check the background and previous criminal records.

Hu Da saw it and pushed Yan Tian's phone.

"It's just a child, and it's less than [-]. You don't need to check it, it's clean. You just say whether the quota for this year's bureau is still there."

"Hey!" Yan Tian scolded, "I am also a captain after all, is there any former prisoner who talks to the captain like you?"

Hu Da paused, and pointed to the scar left on his chin.

"You still remember this thing."

The knife wound had been on Huda's face for many years, when Huda was an informant for the detachment.Police informants are originally a profession with a very high risk factor, and among them, anti-drug informants are the most dangerous. Drug dealers are suspicious and their methods are cruel. something.Back then, Hu Da completed the task very well, but in the final network collection operation, he suffered the knife wound in order to cover the escape of an undercover police officer whose identity was suddenly exposed. For this reason, Yan Tian also specially promised him , in addition to the franchise bonus, if Hu Da encounters any difficulties in the future, he can come to the branch to find him himself.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, when Hu Da came to him again, it was time to urge him to pay off the debt.Yan Tian propped his chin and muttered: "You still have no sense of humor..."

In fact, before Hu Da opened his mouth to ask, Yan Tian already had the answer in his heart.I have to say that Hu Da was very lucky. Whether it was contacting the detachment or finding Yan Tian, ​​his timing was perfect.

"Recently, a batch of large shipments from Huaqiangbei have just been investigated by the customs. They are all OEM refurbished original electronic components. The output is huge, and after the domestic can't digest it, they even opened up sales channels to Europe. After the city checked it More than 3000 pieces were found, which is enough to meet the red line of export smuggling. The leader just held a meeting with each sub-bureau two days ago and paid great attention to it. Do you think there are any sources of goods flowing out of Pingxiang?"

After Yan Tian asked that sentence, Hu Da's expression changed.He knew that it was Simao's previous business, and he temporarily stopped doing it because of market changes. He didn't expect that when the last batch was out of stock, he was still targeted by the police.

"They are very cunning," Yan Tian continued to say to Hu Da, "when we followed the clues to investigate, all the workers were dismissed, and even the processing workshop was moved, leaving nothing behind. The third-party security company has been replaced, and the original appearance records and security data are very difficult to track down. If they hadn’t focused on precious metal scraps this time, I thought the clues would be cut off like this. In fact, when you just mentioned it, I Thinking about it, following the direction you said, we not only want to investigate the responsibility of a single case, but also plan to use Simao as a breakthrough to pull out the entire chain of reselling behind the scenes. Now, there is a lack of an accurate timing for action, no, God sent you to me."

After listening to what Yan Tian said, Hu Da finally had a gleam of light in his eyes.

"In other words, there is hope?"

Yan Tian waved his hand.

"As long as the gang is arrested, everything on the approval document is easy to talk about. At that time, we will bring the children to the bureau together, and make a show. Don't worry, this operation is to prevent him from being retaliated. Just make a record and it will come out. There is no record in the file."

Only then did Hu Da breathe a sigh of relief, and said thank you with relief.

After Yan Tian finished speaking, he let out a "hiss".

"However, after talking for a long time, where is this key witness...?"

"He was taken away, he should be under control." Huda replied.

"Ah?" Yan Tian yelled.

"Being a police informant, isn't there an informant protection plan?" Hu Da asked, "You just let go. He is not only an informant, but also a key witness. In addition to the confession, there is also an electronic file recorded in my In my hand, it will also be needed for the court trial and conviction. I can leave it all to you, but I have to borrow the means of the bureau to help find out where he is now. I will bring him back, and the bureau will reimburse me for the ticket. It also saves money.”

Yan Tian looked at Hu Da intently, and was silent for a few seconds.

"Okay, Lao Hu." He shook his head and sighed, "Now I have learned how to speak and panted, and even squeezed toothpaste for me, and put forward conditions, and I have made every step of the way. You have talked about your feelings for a long time, and you came to me to find your children. Yes, no, where did you find this kid? It's worth your trouble? You have adopted a son!"

I haven't seen him in a few years, and he really wanted to complain about Hu Da, but his phone vibrated again, and the colleague on duty in the bureau had already screenshotted a picture of the system background that targeted Wu Jiusheng's identity information just sent to him. he.

Yan Tian looked at it and frowned again.

"**Mom, this is difficult again..." He said to the ticket purchase information displayed on Wu Jiusheng's ID card, "Your kid has gone to the next city, and our people have to report when they move across districts. Joint law enforcement is troublesome."

He paused.Yan Tian is free and easy by nature, and hates the twists and turns in the officialdom the most. Although the layers of procedures in official documents always give him a headache, this is not the worst part of the current situation.He looked at Huda with some embarrassment, and spread the screenshots on the phone screen under Huda's nose.

"Look for yourself, the place he went to has not been peaceful recently."

Huda's heart hung up again.

"What's so unfair?" he asked.

"Recently, the province has been cracking down hard. Dongguan has always been the top priority. It has been cleaned up several times, but it can't be completely eradicated. I heard that the city bureau next door has already set targets. I have a lot of informants to help, but there is something wrong with those informants. Recently, it is also said that it will be thoroughly investigated."

As Yan Tian was talking, he suddenly thought of something, and watched Hu Da snap his fingers.

"Oh, speaking of it... there is an informant in that area, and you should have some friendship. You can write a report, and I will take you to Dongguan to handle the case in the name of invoking your past third-party infiltration. You can look for it by the way. Your little friend, it is better to explain this to the leaders of the bureau."

"Who?" Huda asked in confusion.He has been out of touch with the society for a long time, and his old friendships have basically disappeared in the arena. The few old friends are now only doing some business, and it is impossible to become an informant for the police force.

"You knew Mr. Yu in the same prison as you at that time," Yan Tian replied, "You still remember, Lao Lin!"

As soon as he spoke, Huda remembered.

Lin Jianhua, the head of the cell where Hu Da was serving his sentence at the time, was very old in prison, and everyone called him Lao Lin.It was only later that Lin Jianhua changed prisons, and Hu Da didn't even know when he finished his sentence and when he went to Dongguan to become a police informant.

Lao Lin took care of Hu Da in prison, but more importantly, Lao Lin, like Hu Da, likes the same sex. Thanks to Lao Lin's care, he was not bullied too much when he was young a few years ago.Although they are not a life-threatening friendship, because of their special identities, there is always a tacit understanding between them. The relationship is better than that of the inmates of the same period. I haven't seen you for many years, and suddenly I heard this again. The name of the person, Hu Da was stunned, and actually gave birth to some sense of right and wrong.

"Old Lin covers several bathing centers in that area." Yan Tian told Hu Da, "The one where your kid uses his ID card to register consumption is in his area."

That's the end of the conversation, and Hu Da already knows the rest.

"Old rules, fake identities and documents, and two round-trip tickets, when will you give them to me, and when will I leave."

He stood up, rolled up his sleeves deftly, and brushed up his hair, as if the last time he solemnly participated in a police operation was just like yesterday.

Yan Tian stared at him, suddenly feeling a little puzzled.

"I remember last time, when the old bureau chief wanted to sign a contract with you on behalf of the bureau, you refused to agree to anything. You kept saying that you were hiding in the city, and you wanted to be a petty citizen for the rest of your life. What's wrong with you? Although you I'm willing to help, and give the bureau a clear indicator of the case. As the captain, I'm very happy, but why bother? If you contact us as soon as you get the news, we can transfer you and protect you. Afterwards, if you change places, you can live in the same way. You have been trained by the informants in the bureau, and you know that this is a routine operation in this line of work. No matter what way to solve it, staying in one place is not good. Too safe."

"That's what I planned too." Huda sighed, "Someone disagreed."

"Ah?" Yan Tian made a fuss again, "You are already enough to lie on a stone in a latrine, and there is anyone in the world who can be more stubborn than you?"

Huda just smiled and said nothing.

Yes, of course there are.The young man who was waiting for him to rescue just like Princess Peach was a nemesis sent by fate to deal with Huda.

Hu Da thought of the young man's words of grievance, as well as the crying tears, and his shoulders slumped.

"I can't help it," he stood up, holding the key of the front door lock in his hand, looking at Yan Tian and said, "Someone has taken this poor place of mine as their home, and they don't want to leave no matter what, I still have to guard it. Here, wait for him to come back."
