Chapter 46: The Land Outside the Law

Zhou Changming sighed again and said in a heavy tone: "Xiao Xiao, people's hearts are sinister!" The policemen and assistant policemen who followed Xia Ying in to catch gambling, including the policeman who used a law enforcement recorder to record the video, were all subdued by Li Xuzhong and Ouyang Qi by means of threats and inducements, and they all said with a clear conscience that they did not see Li Hongbin and others gambling when they went in. It seems that Xiao Ying and Huang Chong will not escape this time! ”

After listening to Zhou Changming's explanation, Xiao Fei was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while, and was stunned for a while before asking, "Director Zhou, what should I do now?" Is there anything you can think of? ”

Zhou Changming pondered for a moment, and said a little hesitantly: "Brother Xiao, the only way now is for you to go to Secretary Zhou, tell him the original situation last night, and ask him to order the Municipal Public Security Bureau to investigate the case, maybe there is still room for redemption." Otherwise, Xia Ying and Huang Chong would definitely be severely punished. ”

Xiao Fei replied without hesitation: "Okay, I will call Secretary Zhou immediately now, report this case to him, and ask him to come forward to clear the grievances of Political Commissar Xia and Captain Huang." ”

Subsequently, he hung up Zhou Changming's phone and dialed Zhou Chengjie's mobile phone in a hurry.

After the phone was connected, Zhou Chengjie didn't wait for him to speak, and first asked hopefully: "Xiaofei, did you tell Xiaoying about coming to my house to play?" Did she promise? ”

"Uncle Zhou, I asked her yesterday and she said think about it. But now, even if she says yes, she won't be able to come to you. ”

Zhou Chengjie asked a little surprised: "Why can't she come?" Is it seriously ill? ”

"No, at 10 o'clock this morning, she was locked up by the county public security bureau, and she will be locked up for five days, and she will not be able to come out until next Tuesday."

"What? She was confined by the county security bureau? What the hell is going on? ”

Xiao Fei calmed down, carefully considered the words, and then told Zhou Chengjie about the situation that Xia Ying and others went to Rongxi to catch gambling last night, were besieged by a gang of gangsters on the way, the evidence of the gambling was destroyed, Xia Ying beat Li Hongbin in anger, and Huang Chong had no choice but to fire a warning shot but accidentally injured the gangsters.

After Zhou Chengjie heard what he said, he immediately realized a few key points, and asked: "Xiaofei, does that Rongxi Hotel have any official background?" Why is it so rampant? ”

Xiao Fei hurriedly replied: "Yes, as far as I know, Liu Zhiqing, chairman of the board of directors of the Rongxi Hotel, is a well-known underworld leader in Qingyuan County, and is called 'Uncle Qing' by the people in the underworld.

I heard that in order to ensure that the Rongxi Hotel would not be investigated and punished, Li Xuzhong repeatedly issued a ban at the bureau's general meeting, saying that without his permission, no department or person of the county public security bureau could go to Rongxi to arrest prostitutes and gamblers without authorization, and he also said that it was to protect the development of the private economy and protect the legitimate rights and interests of private entrepreneurs.

"It is precisely because of Li Xuzhong's ban that the Rongxi Hotel hides dirt and dirt, and the problem of pornography, gambling and drugs is very serious, and it is privately called 'Little Macau' by the people of Qingyuan, and it has also attracted a large number of gamblers, prostitutes, drug addicts and drug traffickers to open houses here to carry out illegal and criminal activities, and even many gamblers and drug addicts and traffickers from neighboring counties and cities have also been attracted to come, so the business of Rongxi Hotel is particularly good, if you want to stay here, you need to book a day in advance to have a room. It is precisely because of such a deep background and umbrella that Liu Zhiqing is so rampant. ”

Zhou Chengjie heard Xiao Fei say that Li Xuzhong actually ordered that his subordinates were not allowed to go to the Rongxi Hotel to catch prostitutes and gamble, and angrily scolded "scum", and then asked: "Xiaoying beat the gambler surnamed Li, do they have evidence?" Didn't it say that the body camera was destroyed? ”

"I also asked Zhou Changming, deputy director of the county public security bureau, about this. According to him, Liu Feiyan, the general manager of the Rongxi Hotel, provided a surveillance video to the county public security bureau this morning, which was installed in the luxurious suite where Li Hongbin and others gambled.

When Zhou Chengjie heard this, he interrupted him again and asked: "Since they have installed a hidden camera in the suite, they should have recorded the gambling scenes of those gamblers, why did you just say that all the evidence of their gambling was destroyed?" ”

Xiao Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Zhou, you underestimated the meanness and insidiousness of those people. According to Deputy Director Zhou, the video provided by the Rongxi Hotel only has the footage of Commissar Xia beating Li Hongbin, and the rest have been deleted by them. ”

Zhou Chengjie scolded again: "These lawless bastards are too rampant!" Xiao Fei, don't be in a hurry, I'll talk to the person in charge of the Municipal Public Security Bureau right later, and order them to set up an investigation team to thoroughly investigate the truth of this case, and Xiao Ying will be fine. ”

Subsequently, he hung up Xiao Fei's phone, pressed the "pager" installed on his desk, called his secretary Feng Antu, and told him to call Ma Yuanchi, deputy mayor and director of the Public Security Bureau, and ask him to come to his office immediately.

Half an hour later, Ma Yuanchi hurried to the compound of the Municipal Party Committee, pushed the door and walked into Zhou Chengjie's secretary's office under the guidance of Feng Antu, and greeted Zhou Chengjie with a smile on his face as soon as he entered the door.

Zhou Chengjie nodded at him with a cold face, pointed to a chair across the desk with his hand and said, "You sit down first!" Xiao Feng, make tea for Comrade Yuanchi. ”

Ma Yuanchi saw that Zhou Chengjie's face was not good, and he felt a little uneasy, so he took a cup of tea handed over by Feng Antu with a forced smile, and after he quietly withdrew, he asked cautiously: "Secretary Zhou, what instructions do you have?" ”

Zhou Chengjie stared at him with a sharp gaze and asked bluntly: "Comrade Yuanchi, there is a place outside the law in Qingyuan County, which is a hotel, called the Rongxi International Hotel, which is said to be protected by the county's public security bureau. Do you understand this? ”

Ma Yuanchi heard Zhou Chengjie suddenly mention the Rongxi Hotel, and said in a stern tone that it was a "place outside the law" protected by the public security organs, the sweat on his face suddenly gushed out, and he replied a little weakly: "Secretary Zhou, I know about this hotel, but I don't know that Li Xuzhong said such things." ”
