rebirth against the times

However, it is said that after Xiao Zhen solved the "" case, his reputation in the county and the bureau increased day by day. Wei Dayuan, who played a key role in solving the case, also continued his efforts and solved two more old murder cases in a short period of time.

, finally, with Xiao Zhen’s push, Lei Ping, the deputy director who was transferred, became the new deputy director. The captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade was replaced by Dong Ping, a capable general who worked with Wei Dayuan to solve the case. After that, Xiao Zhen

The bureau made further adjustments. Liang Tian took over as the captain of the economic investigation brigade, and several capable officers under the former deputy director Lei Ping were all placed in suitable positions. For other personnel, the basic principle is "the most capable will be promoted."

According to the principle of "the mediocre, the mediocre", corresponding adjustments were made. Except for the important territory of the Anti-Narcotics Brigade, which is still controlled by Hou Zhenqiang, the other key departments are basically in the hands of Xiao Zhen. Originally, Xiao Zhen did not intend to do it.

Tai Jue, as long as Hou Zhenqiang can do his job properly, Xiao Zhen has no intention of not even giving Hou Zhenqiang a piece of private land. But what he didn't expect was that after Hou Zhenqiang's original solid system was broken, something soon appeared.

As a result, even the last frontier of the Anti-Narcotics Brigade has revealed very serious problems.

One day in June, the weather was not hot at all. At this time, Bai Shuo had just gone to the Imperial Capital, and Liang Ying was still studying his stocks. Everything was as usual, but for Xiao Zhen, it was difficult to calm down. At this time,

In a secret interrogation room, a man with a wretched expression and a thin body was being interrogated listlessly. Outside the interrogation room, Wei Dayuan was reporting what happened to Xiao Zhen.

It turned out that when the Criminal Police Brigade was investigating an old murder case, they discovered that the deceased might be related to the drug trade. One of them, Wu, who was probably a drug dealer, was a serious suspect. But when they found Wu, they found that Wu

He was undergoing medical treatment in the United States, which temporarily brought the case to a deadlock. One day in June, the Criminal Investigation Brigade received news that Wu had secretly returned to China and had been acting strangely recently. Based on the clues, the police officers successfully captured the suspect Wu who was dealing drugs.

Zheng. Surprisingly, when Wu was arrested, he mistakenly thought that the anti-narcotics brigade was organizing an anti-drug operation. He calmly told Zheng not to panic. He also said that he was a member of Wu Xiangqian, the captain of the anti-drug brigade, and told the police not to delay.

About him, I became a little panicked when I found out that the person who came was a criminal investigator and was arresting him for a murder case. Xiao Xu, a police officer on the mission, was keenly aware of this weirdness and immediately reported it to Dong Ping, and then

The two people involved in the transaction were secretly brought back for interrogation. After some interrogation, although Wu admitted that he was dealing drugs and was related to the murder, he refused to admit that he had anything to do with the anti-narcotics brigade. But the other trader, Zheng, was

Unable to withstand the pressure, he revealed some very useful information. It turned out that the reason why Zheng was confident in trading with Wu was because Wu had an insider within the public security system. As long as the drugs he handled would not be investigated. After the news was tight,

Wu would also notify relevant personnel to lurk, and when other drug dealers were almost caught, they would immediately come out to fill the vacancies and monopolize the market. Although the profits from trading with Wu were greatly reduced, the advantage was safety, so

Zheng has also been cooperating with Wu for a long time. In addition, according to Zheng's explanation, Wu had a serious illness before and went to the United States for treatment for more than two months. He has just returned to his old business soon.

Based on Wu's behavior when he was arrested, Dong Ping and Xiao Xu judged that Wu probably didn't know much about the considerable changes that had taken place in the public security system in the past two months, so he felt confident. According to what Wu said

He is Wu Xiangqian's person, which means that his informant is in the anti-drug brigade, and may even be Wu Xiangqian himself. Such a thing is something they dare not imagine. The police's anti-drug brigade colludes with drug dealers in drug trafficking, and also borrows power to help drug dealers suppress

Other competitors. What kind of case is this? It is beyond the control of Dong Ping's level. Therefore, Dong Ping ordered that all police officers involved in this case should be on duty 24 hours a day immediately and are not allowed to return.

The family was not allowed to contact others, and the case had to be kept confidential. In addition, the case was reported to Wei Dayuan and Xiao Zhen as quickly as possible.

"How likely do you think this is?" Xiao Zhen asked Wei Dayuan seriously outside the interrogation room.

Wei Dayuan replied: "Wu Xiangqian and the key personnel in the anti-narcotics brigade are almost all Hou Zhenqiang's people. Since Hou Zhenqiang became the captain of the anti-narcotics brigade, our anti-drug work here has achieved certain results every year, but the drug trade has been banned repeatedly.

I also have a few brothers who have worked in anti-drugs before, and they also said that although drug dealers have been arrested one after another in recent years, the two old drug dealers they have been targeting before have never been arrested once.

I can’t say for sure about this either.”

Xiao Zhen stared at Wei Dayuan: "Now that I have become the deputy director, I have learned to be tactful. It's not that you can't tell, you have a clear mind."

Wei Dayuan laughed twice and analyzed: "I guess this Wu should be an important path below them. If they can break through him, more evidence will definitely be found."

Xiao Zhen continued: "These two people have been missing for more than half a day. Any longer may cause other people to be alert. I will give you another 24 hours to pry out valuable information. I can report it to the city bureau first.

.”

As time passed, the surrounding police secretly searched Wu's house and discovered a small amount of drugs. Based on the clues provided by Zheng, they successfully found a drug distribution den. However, according to Wei Dayuan's instructions,

, no further action was taken for the time being, but surveillance was carried out first, waiting for further control of more evidence. While significant progress was made on the periphery, there was no progress in the interrogation of Wu. Wu clearly knew that he was involved in drug trafficking and murder, and he must have

He couldn't live, and he looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. Although Wei Dayuan and the others knew clearly that Wu was the key figure in the breakthrough case, they were helpless for a while.

Xiao Zhen reported the relevant situation directly to Director Qiu of the Municipal Bureau, but after all, there was no conclusive evidence, and it was difficult for the Municipal Bureau to apply for large-scale operations. However, Director Qiu still sent a task force to assist Xiao Zhen

, and promised that as long as Xiao Zhen makes a breakthrough, the city bureau will take immediate action.

Xiao Zhen didn't close his eyes all day and night, and kept paying attention to the development of the case. Wei Dayuan was also very anxious at the moment. The 24 hours Xiao Zhen had given him had exceeded 2 hours, but there was still no substantial progress in the case. Now the police and the suspects

They are all competing for wisdom and patience. Obviously Wu is a veteran, and it is not easy to reveal flaws. However, another suspect revealed another news. Wu often hangs out with a person named Jiang Nan, and he also follows

I met him once, and he seemed to have a good connection. After getting the news, Wei Dayuan immediately went to Xiao Zhen’s office to report the matter. However, the current evidence can only indicate that Wu may know Jiang Nan, and there is no substantial evidence.

The evidence pointed to Jiang Nan's involvement in drug trafficking, but the case was still at a deadlock. Everyone knew what was going on, but there was no way to prove or break through.

It was almost evening, and almost two days had passed since Wu was captured. In addition to Wei Dayuan, Dong Ping, Zhong Qiang, Han Jue and others were discussing how to solve the case in Xiao Zhen's office. The whole office was filled with smoke.

, the air was very bad, and the ashtrays were filled with cigarette butts. Apparently everyone had been here for a long time.

"Grandma, take care of that distribution den first, and then I'll take people to arrest Jiang Nan first. Maybe we can find a breakthrough from this kid." Dong Ping couldn't help it anymore and shouted to take action immediately.

"There is no point in arresting him if there is insufficient evidence. Not only will he be released, but he will also be alerted. As for the distribution base, arresting some of the gangsters will be of no use." Wei Dayuan immediately rejected Dong Ping's idea.

"If things are like this now, it won't take long for the news to get out, and then people will hide all the evidence." Dong Ping said angrily.

At this time, Zhong Qiang on the side said thoughtfully: "Well! Maybe it is not necessarily a way to alert the snake."

Everyone looked at Zhong Qiang in confusion, and he continued: "Let's scare the snake first, maybe it will muddy the water, and there will always be fish that jump out without knowing why."

Xiao Zhen's eyes lit up and he praised: "What a fish in troubled waters. It's just that the gambling element is a bit high, but in this situation, you might as well take a gamble."

Xiao Zhen then asked: "Is there any reason for Jiang Nan to arrest him recently?"

When Dong Ping heard that his idea was supported, he immediately became energetic and said, "That kid is usually rampant. It's not easy to find a reason to arrest him."

Xiao Zhen paced back and forth, thought for a while and said: "Dong Ping, arrange for Jiang Nan to be arrested together with the old drug dealers mentioned by your two brothers who have done anti-drug work before.

The operation can be high-profile, but the interrogation must be strictly confidential."

"Yes" Dong Ping immediately followed the order.

"Zhong Qiang, take people to destroy that drug distribution den and bring everyone back to your office for secret interrogation."

"Yes" Zhong Qiang immediately followed the order.

"Wei Dayuan, you are responsible for arranging for people to secretly monitor Wu Xiangqian and others, and report any changes immediately."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Wei Dayuan asked again: "Does Hou Zhenqiang need surveillance?"

Xiao Zhen thought for a while and said: "Hou Zhenqiang is not moving for the time being, waiting for instructions from the city bureau."

Then, Xiao Zhen arranged how to cleverly arrest Wu and destroy the drug distribution den. The city bureau had already dispatched the task force to pass on the information, and asked Han Jue to be responsible for communicating and coordinating with the task force. All arrangements were made

OK, everyone took their orders and left. Xiao Zhen was sitting alone in the office, waiting for news. The sky was already dark, and the water in the pond would soon become muddy, depending on how the fish behaved.

That night, a breaking news spread in the public security system: the Criminal Investigation Brigade captured a drug dealer named Wu during the operation and seized a large amount of drugs on the spot. However, this case was not transferred to the Anti-drug Brigade, but a special case was set up by the Municipal Bureau

The team is investigating and are currently taking further actions. Upon hearing the news, everyone felt a little strange and speculated about what was behind the case.

But Wu Xiangqian couldn't sit still and kept calling Hou Zhenqiang. Hou Zhenqiang immediately called Xiao Zhen and asked Xiao Zhen why the drug trafficking case was not handed over to the anti-drug brigade, but it alarmed the leaders of the municipal bureau. Xiao Zhen also acted like a

I don’t know what happened, but I just deduced that the Municipal Bureau took the initiative to intervene in this case, and he didn’t know a lot of things. Then Hou Zhenqiang went to the Municipal Bureau and even the city to get information. Director Qiu was in charge of the Municipal Bureau, but Hou Zhenqiang didn’t get anything.

Substantial news. However, leaders in the city put pressure on the Municipal Bureau because of this incident, saying that the Municipal Bureau should transfer the case to the Anti-Narcotics Brigade of the County Public Security Bureau. Director Qiu had no choice but to call Xiao Zhen.

, the results must be seen within 24 hours, otherwise the task force will have to be withdrawn.

Just as Xiao Zhen was thinking about how to delay time and gain more space for the comrades handling the case, Hou Zhenqiang called again. Hou Zhenqiang said on the phone that he had received the news and that the city was ready to return the case to the county public security bureau for processing.

It was suggested that Xiao Zhen should take the initiative to fight for the municipal bureau and regain the leadership of the case as soon as possible. When Xiao Zhen heard this, he suddenly had a plan in his mind and said to Hou Zhenqiang: "This matter is relatively important. I am afraid that it is not easy for me to make the decision. Our bureau

We should still discuss it further before making a decision."

Hou Zhenqiang said anxiously: "Then we have to come up with an opinion quickly. I suggest that we hold a meeting as soon as possible to discuss it."

Xiao Zhen said with some embarrassment: "It's so late now. There is a meeting in the city tomorrow morning that I need to attend. I guess we won't have a meeting to discuss this matter until tomorrow afternoon. It's impossible to hold a meeting all night now."

When Hou Zhenqiang heard this, he thought that if he waited another day for the meeting, he didn't know how long it would be delayed. He suddenly felt that Xiao Zhen was deliberately delaying time, so he immediately suggested: "Director Xiao, I think special times are special.

I suggest that we hold a bureau leadership meeting overnight to finalize this matter as soon as possible."

"Well... okay, then I'll ask Han Jue to inform all the leaders immediately and hold a meeting in the bureau conference room in an hour." Xiao Zhen agreed to Hou Zhenqiang's suggestion with some hesitation. After putting down the phone, a look of confusion immediately appeared on his face.

He smiled. Then he picked up the phone and made a call: "Hello Bureau Qiu, I'm sorry to disturb you so late..."

But it was said that after Hou Zhenqiang contacted Xiao Zhen, he also immediately contacted all parties, hoping to force Xiao Zhen and the task force to hand over the case to the anti-drug brigade as soon as possible at the meeting. After the contact was made, he came to the bureau with confidence and went to the police station.

Walk to the conference room.

At this time, in the conference room, in addition to the entire bureau leadership team, there were also Han Jue and a comrade from the task force. The meeting was chaired by Xiao Zhen. First, Wei Dayuan reported on the case. Wei Dayuan took a thick stack of information and started from

From the Criminal Investigation Brigade handling murder cases, to how to identify the suspect, how to track the suspect... After talking for an hour, they still haven't finished explaining the case. Hou Zhenqiang was a little impatient, and unconsciously took out his mobile phone to look at it, and suddenly found that

There was no signal on the mobile phone. He quickly stood up and wanted to leave the conference room, but was blocked by Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen told everyone that because the matter was of great importance, everyone must not leave until the outcome of the meeting was discussed. The mobile phone signal was also temporarily blocked. Before the meeting ended,

No contact with the outside world was allowed. Only then did Hou Zhenqiang feel that something was wrong, and quickly urged Wei Dayuan to highlight the key points.

Nearly an hour later, Wei Dayuan finally gave a complete report on the case. However, he only reported the process and did not disclose some of the clues that came out of the interrogation. Then the comrades of the task force introduced the situation and the meeting

Some people in the room were already restless.
