The 137th Seizure of the Tobacco House

From the perspective of the survivors, the documentary "The Contest" is just a patchwork, shoddy semi-finished product, inferior to the works of some film school students. But for the natives who can't even see the drama a few times a year, this is tantamount to an audio-visual feast, and it also allows them to witness the cruelty of the war, and at the same time see the strength of the Liberation Army, and finally this is the purpose of the Propaganda Department to make this documentary.

The two documentaries were screened at the same time in the three counties to build momentum for the anti-drug campaign and clear some obstacles for the anti-drug work. "The Flower of Evil" made the common people realize the dangers of opium, while "Contest" made those who were dissatisfied with the drug not dare to act rashly.

For a few days in a row, a businessman handed over hundreds of pieces of opium, most of which were paid by Chen Shirong, and it was not a secret that the tobacco house in the town was opened by his family, so he didn't dare to deal with the Guangfu Army openly, and he could deal with it if he handed over a few dozen catties. In addition, some addicts from poor families have also signed up for drug rehabilitation at the Health Bureau, and the anti-drug work in Dapeng County seems to be unfolding in an orderly manner, but Zisma and Levi know that there is actually an undercurrent surging under the calm water.

Longgang Town was upgraded to a county seat, and with the prosperity of foreign goods trading, the flow of people was much more than before. Most of them were merchants from Huizhou, Tamsui, and even Chaomeishan who came to traffic foreign goods. At the mouth of a remote alley in the north of the town, a thin, scruffy beggar sat in the shadow of a corner, sheltering from the afternoon sun. Occasionally, when someone passed by him, he would casually glance at it, and many passers-by smelled the smell of his body, and then saw the scars on his bare calves that were still bleeding pus, and immediately automatically retreated.

The beggar was boredly using his hands to drive away the flies around him, when he saw a man carrying a load of firewood and approaching. The beggar glanced at it, the man's braids coiled on his head, his body full of tendon meat, and it was very easy to carry a burden of more than 100 catties, like a hard worker, so he turned his head to the side again.

The man who was picking firewood stopped at the entrance of the alley and shouted at the beggar: "If you want food, is there a family surnamed Zhang here?" "A distinctly country accent.

The beggar moved and ignored it.

"Ask you! Deaf? The man shouted impatiently.

The beggar waved his hand, "There's nothing surnamed Zhang here, get out!" Don't delay your grandpa to sleep! ”

Being scolded by a begging for food, the man's heart was on fire, he put the firewood on the ground, rushed up to grab the beggar's clothes, and lifted the other party from the ground. The beggar was about to struggle and scream when he suddenly felt something covering his mouth and nose, and then lost consciousness.

The man slowly put the fainted beggar on the ground, and at this time, a large number of heavily armed people poured from both sides of the road, led by Han Jialang, the commander of the special operations battalion, and Levi, the chief of the police. In order not to startle the snake in advance, the work of uprooting the outlying secret posts was handed over to the special combat team. It was He Tiantian who disguised himself as a firewood seller, for which he also specially shaved his head, put on a fake braid used in filming costume dramas, and learned a country accent. In fact, he was full of flaws, such as his forehead was too brightly shaved, his braids were black and thick, etc., which should not have appeared in a countryman, but the beggar did not notice it.

After removing the secret sentry, the special combat team began to attack the alley, and the security team that cooperated with the operation blocked both sides of the road with riot shields, so that not even a fly could fly out. The target of the operation was a two-entry courtyard with the gate at the bottom of the alley. As the special operators approached, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and it was obvious that the target had discovered the situation. A special combat team member who rushed to the front immediately made a decision, and the hammer in his hand smashed fiercely towards the door, and the two wooden doors opened in response, and the special combat team members immediately swarmed in.

There are twenty or thirty shopkeepers and customers in the tobacco house in the courtyard, because in the past, the tobacco house was operated semi-publicly, and it lacked experience in dealing with raids, so it immediately became ants on a hot pot when it happened. Originally, there was a back door in the yard, but the security team had been waiting there for a long time, and after several people were arrested in a row, no one went to throw themselves into the net. Two smokehouse guys tried to escape over the wall, but they were also easily captured by the special combat team.

When Levi and Han Jialang walked into the courtyard, the situation was already under control, and none of the shopkeepers and the addicts who came to patronize them escaped the net. He was first ordered to squat in a corner, and then he was strung together with a hemp rope and taken out. Boxes of opium were taken out along with cigarette equipment and loaded onto pickup trucks parked at the entrance of the alley. The first law enforcement was off to a good start, and several leading survivors were very relieved.

The evidence was collected, the door of the courtyard was sealed, and Levi returned triumphantly with the suspect and the dirty. swaggered all the way through the market, attracting hundreds of onlookers. A few thin-skinned addicts were so ashamed of their neighbors that they had to find a way to cover their heads. The survivors did not respect their personal privacy and did not provide them with hoods. The group returned to the county government in a mighty way, and Levi got out of the car and instructed the security team to move all the confiscated opium smoking utensils into it. Seeing that the onlookers were gathering more and more, Levi jumped into the carriage, picked up a loud man and said: "Fellow villagers, our determination to suppress opium is unwavering. Whoever dares to sell opium in the Liberation Zone, we will resolutely crack down on it. I believe that as long as we work together, opium can be completely eradicated from the land of this county. As soon as the words fell, the staff of the county government and the security team were the first to applaud. Driven by them, other ordinary people have gradually adapted to this way of expressing approval, affirmation, and welcome.

Levi's, who had done another good show, returned to the conference room with joy on his face, and several county leaders who participated in the anti-drug work conference were waiting for him. Han Jialang and the others were only temporarily transferred to cooperate with their work, and they were not suitable for showing up, so they slipped into the county government without attracting attention. As soon as he entered the door, Levi felt that everyone's eyes were on him, and it was nothing to be in the limelight in front of the natives, not only to appear close to the people, but also to increase his official reputation among the people, these are the capital for promotion in the future! However, it may not be a good thing to be too showy in front of your own people, so the police chief changed his serious expression and secretly warned himself in his heart to keep a low profile! Keep a low profile!

After Levi sat down, Zisma said, "Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting!" First of all, I would like to ask Director Li to talk about the results of this operation! ”

Levi took out the list that had been prepared a long time ago, "The boss behind this smoke shop is Chen Shirong, and we have been paying attention to him for a long time. Since the smoking ban was announced, Chen's tobacco shop has ceased to operate. On the surface, he also handed over dozens of catties of opium, saying that he supported our work, but in fact this amount was not even a fraction of his amount. Although we knew that his smoke shop was still in business, we couldn't find any clues, and it was only then that Lu Qinghou came up with an idea to secretly spy on addicts who were close to the Chen family, and we discovered this secret den. He also asked the comrades of the special combat team to secretly reconnoiter and find out the situation inside. ”

Hearing the mention of the special combat team, Qi Shima turned his gaze to Han Jialang, "I am very grateful to the comrades of the special combat team for their assistance this time, otherwise the operation would not have gone so smoothly!" ”

Han Jialang smiled modestly, "County Magistrate Qi is too polite, a lot of work is done by comrades in the county, and we just provide some assistance." ”

Levi also nodded at Han Jialang to express his gratitude, and then continued: "This time, we smashed this underground tobacco house in one fell swoop, arrested a total of five people from the shopkeeper of the tobacco store, 22 opium addicts, and seized more than 10 boxes of opium, totaling more than 1,000 catties. The total illegal proceeds from the sale of opium amounted to more than 50 taels of silver and copper coins. The main reason is that there are too many copper coins, and they have not been counted yet. There is also a collection of drug tools such as cigarette lamps and bongs. ”

"More than 1,000 catties, enough to cut off a few heads." Hong Shaoru said resentfully. The wails of the addicts who had been admitted to him for the past few days tormented his nerves, so he hated the opium dealers to the core, and insisted that the opium dealers be punished severely.

"There are laws and regulations there, and they will be judged how they should be judged." Qisma is also in the middle as the leader, "But the mastermind behind this scene can't let him get away with it." ”

Levi shook his head, "I'm afraid this is difficult. The behind-the-scenes boss of the tobacco house in the town is Chen Shirong, you know, I know, the people in the town know about it, but there is no evidence. ”

"Give the people who are caught, and you can't get any evidence." Hong Shaoru's current tone really can't be connected with the doctor who saves lives and helps the wounded.

"Legally, it is very difficult to convict based on confessions alone." Xia Yusi, who came to Dapeng County to preside over judicial work, analyzed from a professional aspect.

"What kind of law to talk to this kind of scumbag, and talking to him about the law is a crime against the country and the people!" Dean Hong directly lifted out the two noble titles.

"Lao Hong, don't get excited." Zisma stopped a possible dispute, "Now that everything is a start-up, it's time to re-establish the rules." A good rule today will have a good impact on future generations, and vice versa. The rule of law is the guiding ideology set by the management committee, and it is also the goal we will strive for in the future. Therefore, if we want to convict Chen Shirong, we must be justified and upright! ”

"The surname Chen is also a figure with a head and a face on the ground, and if we use shady means, it will only destroy our reputation among the common people, especially the gentry." Xia Yusi added, "For the sake of a Chen Shirong, it is too cost-effective to destroy the image of honesty and honesty that we have built up so hard." ”

The meeting fell silent. The elimination of evil cannot be exhausted, and it makes everyone's hearts very uncomfortable. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and after getting permission, Lu Qinghou leaned in half of his body. "Chief, Chen Shirong asks to see!"

"Okay! came to the door, and can't clean him up? Hong Shaoru was provoked again.

"Lao Hong, calm down first!" Qi Shima didn't dare to let the angry director of health go to meet people, "Director Li, you and I will meet this Chen Shirong together!" ”

The two met the long-known old man Chen in the reception room on the first floor, forty or fifty years old, with a rich face, and even kind eyes, which made people unimaginable that he was a prostitute and gambling bully. At this time, he happened to enjoy the hot tea brought by the clerk, and there was a middle-aged man in his thirties with glasses standing beside him, who knew at a glance that he was a dog-headed military advisor.

Seeing Qi and Li coming in, Chen Shirong hurriedly stood up and bowed closely following the situation. "The two chiefs took the time to see each other, and the villain was grateful!"

"Mr. Chen, please take a seat!" The visitor is a guest, and the necessary politeness still needs to be spoken. After the two parties sat down, Qi Shima asked, "I don't know why Mr. Chen came this time?" ”

"The villain is guilty! The villain is guilty! Chen Shirong stood up again, and his low-voiced attitude made both Qi and Li feel embarrassed. Without waiting for Zisma to ask, he began to confess his sins, and in his account, he was completely deceived by his men. He resolutely supported the government's decision to ban smoking, and originally he asked his subordinates to hand over all the opium in their hands, but who knew that these people only paid a few dozen catties to cope with errands, but secretly ran a tobacco shop behind his back. In a word, he is uninformed and only has leadership responsibilities. "For this reason, the villain is here to take the blame, but it is up to the chief to deal with it!"

People put on a look of being beaten and punished, what else can Qi Shima say? can only be comforted by gentle words. Levi said with a pun: "Mr. Chen, rest assured, our military government has never wronged a good person, nor will it let go of any bad person." ”

After instructing Chen Shirong to cooperate with the investigation, Qi Shima sent him away. Looking at the earth overlord who nodded all the way and left, Levi said hatefully: "This time it's really cheaper for this old dog!" ”

"Don't worry! A dog can't change eating, and he can't stop it so easily. "He also opened casinos, brothels, pawnshops, and loan sharks, these are the targets we want to crack down on and rectify, and sooner or later he will commit crimes in our hands!" ”
