At the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station, the lard boy was sitting with a half-cut cigarette in his mouth, and when he saw Lei Luo coming in, he put down the newspaper in his hand.

"Brother Luo, you're back."

"Come to my office."

Lei Luo walked to the office without looking back.

"Oh, here we are."

The lard boy hurriedly got up and stepped forward, walked a few steps, turned back again, grabbed the newspaper on the table and followed.

"Brother Luo, I read today's newspaper, it seems to be getting more and more intense, the major newspapers seized this opportunity to ridicule the ills of the police force, at today's meeting, those ghost guys should have ugly faces, right?"

Lard said as he walked over to Raylo's desk and pulled out a chair and sat down.

Lei Luo lit a cigarette for himself and frowned:

"What's more, the commissioner said that he wants to maintain the image of the police force, and if there are reports that make the police force disgraced in the future, he will take the initiative to resign to calm down public opinion."

"Wow, isn't this the archway? Pot you back, the benefits they take? ”

The lard boy spread his hands with an exaggerated expression.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" Lei Luo asked.

"Oh yes."

Lard Boy thought about it and handed over the newspaper in his hand.

"This is today's press release from the Far Away Daily, the sarcasm and criticism are far less sharp than yesterday, Brother Luo, take a look."

Lei Luo spat out a puff of smoke, took the newspaper in his hand, read it carefully, and smiled at the lard boy:

"Liu Changquan was removed, and Ang Lee's goal has been achieved. If he still speaks fiercely and acts independently like yesterday, he will offend other detectives. ”

When I saw the press release from the Far Away Daily yesterday, I was surprised by Lei Luo.

You must know that it is rare for a newspaper to attack a detective so strongly, and a discerning person can know at a glance that it is Liu Changquan who has offended people. Out of curiosity, he deliberately investigated the details of the newspaper, and was surprised to find that the boss behind the scenes was actually Ang Lee.

"I heard that Liu Changquan left Hong Kong after he was removed from his post yesterday. Still."

"It's none of our business."

Lei Luo interrupted the lard boy and got down to business:

"At today's meeting, the director specifically mentioned the security issue in my district, so we are very short of time, and we must deal with the big grizzly bear and the doll Qiang before the next meeting, how is the matter going?"

The lard boy looked much more serious:

"Of course, no problem. Hua Zirong, the sister-in-law who hit the street, was also caught by me, and now he can't move the grizzly bear. ”

Lei Luo was a little surprised: "There is only the wrong name, no wrong nickname, I didn't expect this kid to have a set of sister-in-law." ”

Lard Boy immediately spoke out against it:

"Brother Luo, don't be kidding, Hua Zirong's kid has thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and he looks treacherous, this nickname is wrong."

Lei Luo smiled when he heard this, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed a number.

After a few ringbacks, the phone was connected.

"Hello, who?"

A soft female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, I'm Lei Luo, looking for Li An."

"Oh, he's just here, wait a minute, I'll call him."

Lei Luo leaned back in his chair and waited quietly.

After a while, Ang Li's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Inspector Lei, why do you have time to call me today?"

"Would you like to drink tea, do you have time?"

Lei Luo's tone was casual, and he knew him like an old friend.

"Of course, where are you going?"

Hearing Ang Lee's reply, he had a smile on his face.

"I don't need you to come, I'll just go find you, and by the way, I can also go around the walled city."

"Hmm, Longjin Road, Hailian Teahouse, right? Okay, that's it, half an hour is coming. ”

Lei Luo hung up the phone, took out the cigarette butt in his mouth and snuffed it out, and said to the lard boy:

"Let's go, let's go find Ang Lee."

"To the walled city?"

Lard asked.

"Of course."

Lei Luo got up and walked outside.

Lard boy followed and got up: "Brother Luo, do you want to call a few more guys to follow." ”

"To drink tea, not to solve the case? Why do you make such a big fuss? ”

Lei Luo didn't care.

The car sped all the way, passing through various buildings, driving towards a cluster of dilapidated buildings of varying heights, and finally stopped at the east gate of the walled city.

Lei Luo and Lard Boy got out of the car one after another.

"I have been to the walled city a few times before, when I came here, there were a hundred flowers in the smoke house, gambling stalls, chicken stalls, and dog meat stalls, and I heard that the security of the walled city is better than the outside, and today I can just see it."

Lei Luo said with a smile.

He glanced up at the words 'Kowloon City', and walked into the walled city with the lard boy.

The sun was shining outside, but it was dark inside.

Compared to the narrow alleys of the walled city, which were only one or two shoulders wide, the streets were quite spacious and full of people, and along the way, except for the occasional ray of sunlight shining through a gap, the sunlight outside was completely blocked.

The lard boy handed a dime to the vendor and walked over with two pieces of white sugar cake.

He handed a piece to Lei Luo:

"Come, Brother Luo, you taste."

"Wait until you go to the teahouse to have refreshments, and you still buy white sugar cakes?"

"Nostalgia."

"I almost forgot, you used to sell white sugar cakes too."

Lei Luo smiled dumbly, but did not refuse, took the white sugar cake in his hand, and took a bite.

"In the past, Longjin Road was full of smoke houses and gambling stalls, but now there is no one, and even those rotten boys who like to wander have not seen any of them, it is really a big change."

He was genuinely surprised.

It is better to see than to hear, and no matter how much you hear, it is better to come and see it yourself.

Today's walled city is very different from the dirty, chaotic, and poor siege in his past impression.

"Brother Luo, didn't you see it when you came here just now? There are also two aunts who clean up, and the streets are cleaner than some streets in Tsim Sha Tsui, and I think I should ask the City Council to come and learn how to beautify the streets. ”

Lard Boy nodded in agreement.

While laughing, the two came to Hailian Teahouse.

Walking into the smoky teahouse, a guy stepped forward enthusiastically:

"Hello, gentlemen."

Lei Luo smiled in return: "I'm looking for Ang Li, we made an appointment." ”

"Please follow me."

The guy responded politely and led the two up the stairs.

"Here."

On the second floor, in front of a table by the window, Li An waved at the two people who went upstairs.

Lei Luo nodded in response, and walked over with the lard boy.

After taking his seat, he smiled apologetically:

"Sorry, I'm late?"

"No, I've just arrived."

"What do you need?" The guy who took the two upstairs asked.

Li An stretched out his hand to Lei Luo and gestured:

"Whatever the guest wants."

Lei Luo is not pretentious: "A pot of Pu'er, a few signature refreshments." ”

"Wait a minute."

The guy turned and left.

"I was really surprised when I came to the walled city today, and I couldn't believe that this was the walled city of the past."

Lei Luo exclaimed.

"In fact, the current situation of the walled city can be regarded as a happy one, even if it is the size of Xinjie and Dajing Street, the same interests are equal. The world is peaceful, and the residents of the walled city are more willing to consume, which does not delay them from making money. ”

Perhaps at the beginning, the words "walled city" were very resentful of the Welfare Society, but it was only because of the Welfare Society's tough methods that they had to make compromises.

However, I found that some of the prefixes were cleaned, the city was well-behaved, and business seemed to be better, and even there were more customers outside the walled city to have fun, and the big and small prefixes began to deliberately maintain this situation.

After all, making money comes first! There is money to be made, who wants to fight to the death?

The guy walked over with a tray in his right hand and a teapot in his left.

Lard got up and took the teapot and poured it out.

After a few words of greeting between the two, Lei Luo put down the teacup and said straight to the point:

"I'm here today to ask you for help."

"What's the matter?"

Ang Lee did not agree, but left room for maneuvering.

Of today's detectives, Chen Zhichao has no intention of being a general inspector.

Although Lan Jiang and Yan Tong intend to compete for the position of Inspector Zonghua, Lei Luo has the greatest advantage with his back on Sir Zhou.

After all, the upper position is also about money and background.

But then again, he and Lei Luo don't have a deep friendship at all, and Ang Lee doesn't mind many of Inspector Zonghua's friends, but there is no need to deliberately compliment and agree, this is not his character.

"It's not a big deal."

Lei Luo pondered for a moment and said slowly:

"Recently, the law and order in my district has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the doll is strong, and the opinions are very big, and I am going to go to Xinjie to talk to Ding Ye about the problem of the doll. As you know, the police have no law enforcement power in the walled city, and if I lead a team into the city, it will only intensify the conflict. And Xinjie is Ding Ye's territory, if there is an emergency, I hope you can take care of it. ”

"Okay, no problem."

Ang Lee thought about it and didn't refuse.

For him, it was really just a trifle.

"Thank you very much."

Lei Luo said in a sincere tone.

"No, it's just a matter of effort."

Li An waved his hand, and continued:

"Fighting is not allowed in the walled city now, even Xinjie and Dajing Street. I'll say hello to the people from the Welfare Association, and if you get into a conflict with Camel Ding in New Street, the people from the Welfare Society will arrive soon. ”

Lei Luo's eyes lit up:

"With your words, I'm relieved."

Even the lard boy, who had not spoken, was relieved, and got up to add tea to Li An.

"Brother Luo, now that Mr. Li is helping, naturally there is no problem."

"You're welcome, this teahouse has good dim sum, but it's not delicious when it's cold."

Li An beckoned the two to move their chopsticks.

Next, the three of them chatted while eating refreshments.

There are lard boys who enliven the atmosphere from time to time, and the two sides chatted happily during a morning tea.
