Section 48: Provocation
The meeting of Daguankou is quite lively, every lunar month on the first day and fifteenth day of the month, here is lively and abnormal, and this year August 15 is even more crowded, the dam before and after the Tianhou Temple is crowded with people, and the people from several neighboring counties and cities have come to meet the meeting.
All kinds of snacks are available, juggling circuses are also endless, and all kinds of small crafts are also appearing one after another, such as paper-cutting, rattan weaving, straw weaving, sugar man, clay sculpture, stone carving, attracting countless people to stop and watch, and the moon cakes that are very particular about this time in other places are not so conspicuous here.
When Zhao Guodong took Hu Minggui and Tan Kai to the Tianhou Temple, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning, and the personnel of the security room had already sprinkled it down, and Luo Changrong couldn't come because of the party committee in the township, so only Zhao Guodong took on the heavy responsibility here.
Every first or fifteenth day of the new year, the pickpockets around will always find and want to get a handful in this grand event, which is also the most headache for the Daguankou Township Security Office, almost every New Year's Day and Fifteenth will have so many stolen people crying and crying to report to the security room.
Although the loss is not large, it is generally dozens of yuan, but it is also painful for the people in the countryside, so the security office has to go out at this time to try to drive away those pickpockets to the greatest extent and maintain the safety of the meeting.
When he was in the criminal police team, Zhao Guodong followed an old criminal policeman on the team for half a month, specializing in anti-pickpocketing and squatting in the market to wait.
So Zhao Guodong also came a few times in the early stage, and captured a few old faces who had not yet started, Zhao Guodong did not embarrass them, and asked the people in the security room to say that these guys were tortured under the flagpole next to the Tianhou Temple, and listened to the scolding of the masses, and also let the masses recognize these thieves who have been pickpocketing here for a long time, and increase their vigilance.
This hand did have a very good effect, and soon the surrounding thieves were also familiar with Zhao Guodong's figure, as soon as Zhao Guodong arrived, these people would automatically disappear, or stay in the teahouse for a day to drink tea, and over time it seemed that a tacit understanding was formed.
Zhao Guodong and Hu Minggui walked down a few streets next to the Tin Hau Temple and returned to the square in front of the Tin Hau Temple, where the traffic was greatest.
Although the weather gradually cooled, the crowded flow of people still made the two of them sweat, and several familiar figures that caught their eyes quickly disappeared into the flow of people, Zhao Guodong did not care about himself, after all, anyone has the right to come to the meeting, and they can't arbitrarily restrict the other party's freedom in life just because others have a criminal record.
"Brother Zhao, listening to the excitement today, do you want to buy something?" Hu Minggui has become a loyal fan of Zhao Guodong, and he can make a world in Jiangmiao in three or five months, and Hu Minggui has seen such a strong character for the first time.
"What's there to buy here?"
"Hehe, look at the rattan and straw weaving, bamboo and stone carvings over there, it's really good, buy one for your girlfriend, it's very meaningful." Hu Minggui nodded from time to time to greet relatives, friends and acquaintances in the past.
"Well, let's stay for a while." Zhao Guodong's eyes are uncertain, there are too many people, and his simple face is coming, it is not easy to find a target in the middle, it seems that it is more appropriate to return to the square.
Half an hour later, Zhao Guodong returned to the same place, squatting behind a few stacked stones next to the Tianhou Temple, his eyes wandering aimlessly in the flow of people, today it seems that those guys are quite sensible and know how to leave on their own.
If they are still dangling in front of him, Zhao Guodong will regard them as challenging his authority, and then he must give the necessary punishment, but fortunately, this phenomenon has not happened.
Zhao Guodong's eyes quickly locked on the target, three men and one woman, two of them are not young, at least over thirty years old, they can't see anything on the surface, they are very ordinary, and there are no other superfluous movements, but the breath in their bones makes Zhao Guodong suddenly realize that the two guys are practitioners, and they are not ordinary practitioners.
The girl is quite beautiful, tall, with fluffy curly hair, wide sunglasses covering most of her face on her white face, a thick metal chain dangling in front of her full chest, and a black bra is faintly visible in a slightly transparent white shirt, and her whole body has a noble and elegant but mixed with a bohemian atmosphere, which is a bit of decadent beauty, Zhao Guodong commented.
As for the other young man, he was a little unenlightened, his flickering gaze, his wandering and swaying gaze, and some nervous finger twitching, Zhao Guodong didn't know what this guy wanted to do?
Pickpocketing? It seems ridiculous, a few people are dressed in clothes that are probably worth a year's salary, what are the goals worth starting with? Hawker or passerby?
The strong local customs and characteristics here and the ancient streets and alleys with some history attract some individual tourists who like to go free to the world, and even tourists from other provinces come here, but Zhao Guodong does not think that there are goals worthy of these people.
No matter what, Zhao Guodong doesn't want something unpleasant to happen in his jurisdiction, no matter who he is, if he dares to challenge his authority, then he will not back down.
Most of the people who wander in the square in front of the Tin Hau Temple are tourists from other places rather than the people in the neighborhood, they prefer all kinds of local gadgets in the square, rattan flower baskets, baskets, straw ropes, straw sandals, stone grinding blue colored paper cut-outs, exquisite stone carvings, exquisite bamboo carving handicrafts, simple and thick clay statues, all of which are enough to make outsiders stop and wander.
Although there are not many of these people, but today is different, every year on the fifteenth day of the first month and the fifteenth day of August is the most important day of the day of the Haau, many foreign tourists will choose this time to come here to play, once they are stolen, the number is difficult to say, then maybe it will bring a lot of trouble to themselves and the police station.
"Zihua, ask Zhongping not to go to find trouble, the two of them are eating official meals." Just when Zhao Guodong was quietly observing the movements of several people, the other party was also aware of Zhao Guodong's existence, and the eagle-like gaze under the crystal lens quickly locked on Zhao Guodong, who did not deliberately hide his identity.
"Boss, what are you afraid of in this poor country? What about eating official meals? There are a lot of wine bags and rice bags, and Zhongping is just going to play and practice his hands. The other man said nonchalantly.
"No, I'm afraid you're out of the way, that guy isn't that simple, he's deliberately demonstrating to us, warning us, haven't you noticed? He deliberately exposed the handcuffs around his waist. The man in crystal glasses didn't move, but his voice raised a little.
"So what? If he has the ability, he will go and catch Zhongping. ”
"Brother Hui, why did you become so cautious when you go out to the countryside to relax?" The girl also quipped: "Afraid of capsizing in the gutter? ”
"Hmph, the older the rivers and lakes, the less courage you have, this is a classic saying, but it is a wise saying." The man with glasses suddenly raised his voice, "Let Zhongping come back quickly, don't cause trouble!" ”
Wake up early and ask for support!
