However, it is said that after Xiao Zhen cracked the "9.20" case, his reputation in the county and the bureau has become increasingly high. And Wei Dayuan, who played a key role in solving the case, also made persistent efforts, and in a short period of time, he solved two old murder cases in a row, and finally under the push of Xiao Zhen, he replaced the transferred deputy director Lei Ping and became the new deputy director. The captain of the criminal investigation team was taken over by Dong Ping, a capable general who worked with Wei Dayuan to solve the case. After that, Xiao Zhen made further adjustments in the bureau, Liang Tian took over as the captain of the economic investigation team, and several capable generals under the former deputy director Lei Ping were all arranged to suitable positions. For other personnel, it is basically in line with the principle of "the capable go up, the mediocre go down", and the corresponding adjustments have been made. Except for the important territory of the anti-narcotics brigade, which is still controlled by Hou Zhenqiang, the rest of the key departments are basically in the hands of Xiao Zhen. Originally, Xiao Zhen didn't plan to do too much, as long as Hou Zhenqiang could do his job well, Xiao Zhen didn't plan to not even give Hou Zhenqiang a piece of land for himself. But what I didn't expect was that after Hou Zhenqiang's originally solid system was broken, a chain reaction soon appeared, and even the last position of the anti-narcotics brigade showed very serious problems.

One day in June, the weather was not too hot. At this time, Bai Shuo had just gone to the imperial capital, and Liang Ying was still continuing to study his stocks, everything was as usual, but it was difficult for Xiao Zhen to calm down. At this time, in a secret interrogation room, a lewd-looking, thin man was being interrogated listlessly. Outside the interrogation room, Wei Dayuan was reporting to Xiao Zhen what had happened.

It turned out that when the criminal police brigade was investigating an old murder case, it was found that the deceased may be related to the drug trade, and one of them, Wu, who was likely to be a drug dealer, was a major suspect. But when this Wu was found, it was found that Wu was being treated in the United States, which temporarily brought the case to a deadlock. One day in June, the Criminal Investigation Brigade got the news that Wu had secretly returned to China and had been acting strangely recently. According to the clues, the police officers successfully arrested the suspects Wu and Zheng, who were trading drugs. What is surprising is that when Wu was arrested, he mistakenly thought that the anti-drug brigade was organizing an anti-drug operation, and even told Zheng not to panic as if nothing happened, and also said that he was the person of Wu Xiangqian, the captain of the anti-drug brigade, and asked the police officers not to delay his business. I became a little flustered when I knew that the person who came was a criminal investigator and that he was arrested because of a murder. Xiao Xu, the police officer on the mission, was keenly aware of this strangeness, and immediately reported to Dong Ping, and then secretly brought the two people back for interrogation. After some interrogation, although Wu admitted that he traded drugs and was related to the murder, he did not admit that he had anything to do with the anti-drug brigade. But another trader, Zheng, couldn't resist the pressure and confided some very useful information. It turned out that the reason why Zheng was relieved to trade with Wu was because Wu had an internal response within the public security system, and as long as it was the drugs he handled, he would not be investigated. When the wind is tight, Wu will also notify the relevant personnel to lurk, and when the other drug dealers are almost caught, they will immediately come out to fill the vacancy and monopolize the market. Although the profits of trading with Wu have been suppressed a lot, it is better to be safe, so Zheng has also cooperated with Wu for a long time. In addition, since Zheng confessed, Wu had a serious illness before, went to the United States for treatment for more than two months, and now he has just returned and returned to his old business.

Through Wu's performance when he was arrested, Dong Ping and Xiao Xu judged that this Wu probably didn't know much about the considerable changes that had taken place in the public security system in the past two months, so he would have nothing to fear. According to Wu, he is Wu Xiangqian's person, which means that his internal should be in the anti-drug brigade, and it is even very likely that Wu Xiangqian himself. Such a thing is unimaginable for them, the police anti-drug brigade and drug dealers collude to sell drugs, and also use power to help drug dealers suppress other competitors. What kind of case is this? It is already beyond the control of Dong Ping's level. Therefore, Dong Ping ordered that all police officers involved in this case should be on duty 24 hours a day, not allowed to go home or contact others, and must keep the case confidential. In addition, the case was reported to Wei Dayuan and Xiao Zhen as quickly as possible.

"How likely do you think this is?" Xiao Zhen asked Wei Dayuan solemnly outside the interrogation room.

Wei Dayuan replied: "Wu Xiangqian and the backbone personnel of the anti-drug brigade are almost all Hou Zhenqiang's people. Since Hou Zhenqiang became the captain of the anti-narcotics brigade, we have been able to achieve certain results in anti-drug work here every year, but the drug trade has been repeatedly prohibited, and I also have a few brothers who have worked in anti-narcotics before, and I have also said that although drug dealers have been arrested wave after wave over the years, the two old drug dealers they have targeted before have not been arrested once. Well, I can't say for sure. ”

Xiao Zhen stared at Wei Dayuan twice: "Now that I have become the deputy director, I have also learned to be tactful." It's not that you can't say for sure, your heart is clear. ”

Wei Dayuan laughed twice and analyzed: "I estimate that this Wu should be an important path under them, if they can break through him, then they will definitely find more evidence." ”

Xiao Zhen continued: "These two people have been missing for most of the day, and a little longer is likely to arouse the alarm of others, I will give you another 24 hours, be sure to pry out valuable news, and then I can report it to the city bureau first." ”

Time passed minute by minute, and the police on the periphery found a small amount of drugs through a secret search of Wu's residence, and according to the clues provided by Zheng, they successfully found a den that distributed drugs, but according to Wei Dayuan's instructions, no further action was taken for the time being, but was monitored first, waiting for further control of more evidence. When major progress was made in the periphery, there was no progress in the interrogation of Wu, who obviously knew that he was involved in drug trafficking and murder, and he would definitely not survive, and he looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. Although Wei Dayuan and the others knew that Wu was the key person in the breakthrough case, they were helpless for a while.

Xiao Zhen still directly reported the relevant situation to Director Qiu of the Municipal Bureau, but after all, there was no conclusive evidence, and it was difficult for the Municipal Bureau to apply for large-scale action, but Director Qiu still sent a task force to assist Xiao Zhen and guaranteed that as long as Xiao Zhen made a breakthrough, the City Bureau would take immediate action.

Xiao Zhen didn't close his eyes for a day and a night, and he has been paying attention to the development of the case. Wei Dayuan was also anxious at the moment, the 24 hours stipulated by Xiao Zhen for him had exceeded 2 hours, but there was still no substantial progress in the case. Now there is a competition between the police and the suspects for wisdom and patience. Obviously, Wu is an old Jianghu and is not so easy to show flaws, but another suspect revealed another news, Wu often hangs out with a person named Jiang Nan, and he has also met once, as if he has a lot of background. After getting the news, Wei Dayuan immediately went to Xiao Zhen's office to report the matter. But the current evidence can only show that Wu may know Jiang Nan, there is no substantive evidence pointing to Jiang Nan also involved in drug trafficking, the case is still at an impasse, everyone knows what is going on, but there is no way to prove and break through.

It was almost evening, and almost two days had passed since Wu was captured. In Xiao Zhen's office, in addition to Wei Dayuan, Dong Ping, Zhong Qiang, Han Jue and others were discussing how to break the case. The whole office was smoky, the air was very poor, and the ashtrays were full of cigarette butts. Apparently everyone has been here for a long time.

"Grandma's, let's finish the distribution den first, and then I'll bring someone to arrest Jiang Nan first, maybe I can find a breakthrough from this kid. Dong Pingxian couldn't help it, and shouted to act immediately.

"If the evidence is insufficient, it will be useless to arrest them, and when the time comes, not only will they have to be released, but they will also be scared. As for the distribution den, it's useless to catch some minions. Wei Dayuan immediately rejected Dong Ping's idea.

"Now, it won't be long before the news gets out, and then people will hide all the evidence. Dong Ping said angrily.

At this time, Zhong Qiang on the side said thoughtfully: "Well! Maybe it may not be a way to startle the snake." ”

Everyone looked at Zhong Qiang suspiciously, and he continued: "Hit the grass and scare the snake first, maybe the water will be muddy, and there will always be fish that will jump out for unknown reasons." ”

Xiao Zhen's eyes lit up and he admired: "What a fish in troubled waters." It's just that the gambling component is a little bigger, but now you might as well gamble in this situation."

Xiao Zhen then asked, "Is there any reason for Jiang Nan's side to arrest him recently?"

As soon as Dong Ping heard that his idea was supported, he immediately came to his senses, and said, "That kid is usually rampant, and it's not easy to find a reason to arrest him." ”

Xiao Zhen paced back and forth, thought about it for a while, and said, "Dong Ping, you arrange for someone to arrest Jiang Nan and the old drug dealers mentioned by your two brothers who have worked in anti-narcotics before. Arrests can be high-profile, but interrogations must be strictly confidential. ”

"Yes," Dong Ping immediately ordered.

"Zhong Qiang, you take people to destroy that drug distribution den and bring everyone back to your place for secret interrogation. ”

"Yes" Zhong Qiang also immediately obeyed.

"Wei Dayuan, your side is responsible for arranging people to secretly monitor Wu Xiangqian and other related people, and report immediately if you find any changes. ”

"Yes!" After Wei Dayuan received the order, he asked again: "Does Hou Zhenqiang need to be monitored?"

Xiao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Hou Zhenqiang's side will not move for the time being, waiting for the instructions of the City Bureau." ”

Then, Xiao Zhen arranged how to skillfully arrest Wu and destroy the drug distribution den, and the city bureau has sent the information of the task force to pass it on, and let Han Jue be responsible for coordinating with the task force. Everything was arranged, and everyone took their orders and went away. Xiao Zhen sat alone in the office again, waiting for news. It was already dark, and the pool was soon to be muddy, depending on how the fish moved.

That night, a powerful news spread in the public security system: the criminal investigation team arrested a drug dealer Wu during the operation, and a large number of drugs were seized at the scene. However, the case was not handed over to the anti-narcotics brigade, but a special task force was set up by the city bureau to investigate, and further action is being taken. Hearing this news, everyone felt a little strange and speculated about what was behind the case.

But Wu Xiangqian couldn't sit still and kept calling Hou Zhenqiang. Hou Zhenqiang immediately called Xiao Zhen and asked why Xiao Zhen did not hand over the drug trafficking case to the anti-drug brigade, but it alarmed the leaders of the city bureau. Xiao Zhen also looked like he didn't know why, and only deduced that the city bureau took the initiative to meddle in this case, and he didn't know a lot of things. Then Hou Zhenqiang went to the city bureau and even the city to inquire about the news, and there was Director Qiu in the city bureau, but Hou Zhenqiang did not get any substantive news. However, there were leaders in the city who put pressure on the city bureau because of this incident, saying that the city bureau should transfer the case to the anti-narcotics brigade of the county public security bureau for handling. Director Qiu had no choice but to call Xiao Zhen and see the results within 24 hours, otherwise he had to withdraw the task force.

Just as Xiao Zhen was thinking about how to delay time and gain more space for the comrades handling the case, Hou Zhenqiang called again. On the phone, Hou Zhenqiang said that he had received the news that the city was ready to return the case to the county public security bureau for handling, and suggested that Xiao Zhen should take the initiative to fight for the city bureau and get back the leading power of the case as soon as possible. When Xiao Zhen heard this, he suddenly had a plan, and said to Hou Zhenqiang: "This matter is relatively important, and I am afraid that it is not easy for me to make the decision, so our bureau should still discuss and discuss before making a decision." ”

Hou Zhenqiang was a little anxious and said: "Then we have to come up with an opinion quickly, I suggest that a meeting be held as soon as possible to discuss it." ”

Xiao Zhen said with some embarrassment: "It's so late now, there is still a meeting in the city tomorrow morning that I need to attend, and it is estimated that I will have to hold a meeting tomorrow afternoon to discuss this matter, so it is impossible to hold a meeting overnight now." ”

When Hou Zhenqiang heard this, he thought that if he waited for another day to hold a meeting, he didn't know how long it would drag, and he suddenly felt that Xiao Zhen was deliberately delaying time, so he immediately suggested: "Director Xiao, I think special treatment is given at a special time, and I suggest that a meeting of bureau leaders be held overnight to finalize this matter as soon as possible." ”

"This ...... Okay, then I'll ask Han Jue to notify the leaders immediately and hold a meeting in the bureau conference room in an hour. Xiao Zhen agreed to Hou Zhenqiang's suggestion with some hesitation, and after putting down the phone, a smile immediately appeared on his face. Then he picked up the phone and made a call: "Hello Qiu Ju, I'm really sorry to disturb you so late......"

However, he said that after Hou Zhenqiang contacted Xiao Zhen, he also immediately contacted all parties, hoping to force Xiao Zhen and the special case team to transfer the case to the anti-narcotics brigade as soon as possible at the meeting. After making proper contacts, I came to the bureau with confidence and walked to the conference room.

At this time, in the conference room, in addition to the leadership team of the entire bureau, there were also Han Jue and a comrade of the task force. The meeting was chaired by Xiao Zhen, and Wei Dayuan first reported on the case. Wei Dayuan held a thick stack of information, starting from the murder case handled by the criminal investigation team, to how to determine the suspect and how to track the suspect...... I haven't finished the case for an hour. Hou Zhenqiang was a little impatient, unconsciously took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and suddenly found that the mobile phone had no signal, and quickly got up and wanted to leave the conference room, but was stopped by Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen informed everyone that due to the importance of the matter, everyone must not leave until the results of the meeting are discussed, and the mobile phone signal is temporarily blocked, and no contact with the outside world is allowed before the end of the meeting. Hou Zhenqiang felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly urged Wei Dayuan to pick the key points.

Nearly an hour passed, and Wei Dayuan finally reported the case completely, but he only reported the process, and some of the pointing clues from the interrogation were not revealed. Then the comrades of the task force gave a briefing, and some people in the conference room were already restless.
