"This is also what I am puzzled about, there is an update, I will tell you." After Lu Nan finished speaking, he hung up the phone. But soon, I received a second call, which was from the captain I had asked for. He was in the same place as the underworld family where his father had been.

He was very efficient, and I asked him to investigate for me the details of the underworld forces that had been eliminated in the area in recent decades. He told me that after I asked him, he immediately found someone to do it. The results also came out quickly, and he found a total of more than fifty related groups, large and small.

Among them, there are groups with only a few people, and because of my request, he counted these small groups as well. Among them, there are two large groups, which are not considered to have been destroyed, but have been successfully whitewashed. These two groups have become two relatively large local enterprises, monopolizing the local economy of a certain industry.

Many local people are rumoring that the chairman of these two companies used to be the big brother on the road, but that is just a folk rumor, no one dares to put it on the surface, for fear of causing trouble for themselves, and some people think that this is pure fiction. Only some veteran cadres and police officers of the police know that the rumors are true.

Decades ago, because of the special background of the local area, some forces were not directly eliminated, and by the time the police really started to use the knife, some far-sighted groups had been whitewashed and found scapegoats. Due to various considerations, the police did not pursue the case, and even now, even the criminal prosecution period has passed.

I asked the captain to exclude those groups of less than twenty people, and tell me the names of those groups and the people who used to be in the first place. Obviously, the captain was holding the materials in his hand, and I heard him flipping the paper. Soon, he excluded more than twenty of them, and he read to me the names of more than thirty people, as I requested.

Among them, there is a person surnamed Li! Uncle Man said that his father came out of that family, and since it is said to be a family, there is more or less blood relationship between the core members, or other legal close relatives such as adoption. Uncle Man also said that his father was very respected in the family. All underworld families are the same, and generally rarely give outsiders a chance, or a lot of power.

Therefore, after analyzing all the possibilities, I believe that my father should have the same surname as the head of that family. I immediately asked the captain what the names of some of the more powerful people in this group were. The captain told me to wait, and he started flipping through the information again.

The backup information in the old police station was still relatively complete, and soon, he read me the names of many people one by one, most of these people were surnamed Li, but there were also some other surnames. Other surnames, possibly cousins of the surname Lee. However, the captain read a long list of names, and I just didn't hear the three words Li Yiran.

However, I found a very strange name: Li Ran. I wouldn't think it would be strange if I took out this name alone, but the comparison between this name and my father's name is a little strange: Li Ran and Li Yiran, the latter only has one more word for the former.

"Is there any specific information about Li Ran?" I asked.

After two or three minutes, the captain told me over the phone that he had found it.

"Li Ran is the fourth child of Li Feng, the leader of this group." The captain said to me: "But this Li Ran is not on the list of arrested and killed. ”

"Is there anyone still alive in this force?" I asked.

"The core members all died in the encirclement and suppression operation decades ago, except for this Li Ran. As for those men with other surnames, some were killed, some escaped, some were arrested and imprisoned, and they were released a long time ago, and I don't know where they went, and it is difficult to find them, but with a little more time, they will definitely be found. The captain replied to me.

Me: "I don't need to look for it yet, I'm not a core member, and I can't ask anything if I find it." What I want to know is whether there has been any internal change in this group. ”

My words, reminded this captain. From the information in his hand, he found a few words in the interrogation record at that time, because the core member Li Ran was not found, so the police at that time focused on interrogating Li Ran's whereabouts, and the police beat him and denied him food, but in the end, the result was the same: no one knew where Li Ran went.

However, those people speculated that Li Ran might have been killed by Li Feng's other children, because Li Ran has always been a very good one in the family, and he also advocated whitewashing the power and developing it for a long time. Hearing this, I have basically confirmed that the Li Ran in the mouth of this captain is his father Li Yiran, and this group is my father's family.

Because, the captain's description is too similar to Uncle Man's description. It seems that his father's original name was not Li Yiran, and he changed his name later. At that time, the loopholes in the household registration were still very large, and there was no national unity, so it was not difficult for the father to use some money or small tricks to change his name and break away from the original family's household registration.

This may also explain why when I applied for the police academy, the police academy did not find out the nature of my father's family background. It stands to reason that according to the regulations, I can't apply for the police academy.

"Tell me all the information about this force, the more detailed the better." I made another request. Next, the captain talked to me for more than an hour, and he basically read through the materials and files in his hand. On that day, Uncle Man brought over his father's origin in a few words.

I always felt that my father would not just come from an ordinary family with a criminal nature. By talking to the captain, I also got to know the group better. This family, at that time, was more influential than I imagined.

This group is too different from other underworld groups, as long as the economy comes from protection money, illegal lending, etc., but its influence is a little greater than that of other groups of the same nature.

However, no matter how much I listened, I still felt that this was just an ordinary triad group. I still have an intuition: my father's force will not be so simple, even if it is simple in nature, it should be strong enough to dare to argue with the police, this is how I feel.

However, they were easily destroyed by the police in the end, and such a force, compared with the Youth Federation, is simply one in the sky and the other on the ground. No matter how much I listened, I couldn't find anything special about this family, and just when I was about to give up, the captain suddenly said something strange.

Two months before this force was destroyed, this force suddenly began to recruit all kinds of strange people openly and covertly. It is said to be a strange person, but in fact, it is a group of people with their own abilities. Some of these people are doctors, some are proficient in chemistry and physics, and some are proficient in iron and steelmaking.

All in all, as long as they are good at research in a certain field, they are invited back at a high price. This incident happened two years after his father was hunted down. I also can't figure out what an underworld group is going to do when it recruits so many such people, it's unbelievable.

Over the next two months, the police went on a strong attack and suppressed the group. All the core members rose up to resist, and all the core members, including Li Feng, were killed on the spot. Those who were recruited were treated as accomplices. Through interrogation, those people themselves did not know why they were recruited, and they said that after being recruited, they ate and slept well, and the only thing they had to do was to concentrate on their research in the field they were proficient in.

There is another detail that caught my attention: the encirclement and suppression operation alarmed the top of the police. The interrogation of some suspects was also carried out by the senior police officers themselves, and the old files at that time were not recorded in detail. This made me even more suspicious.

If it was just an ordinary underworld group, it would not do such a strange thing as recruiting strange people, and it would not alarm the high-level of the police.
