blood fog

Qin Zhengxian and Tang Jiadong had a long-lost hug, and they felt a little emotional after seeing each other for so many years.

Tang Jiadong was a little fatter than before, his huge beer belly made the police uniform look like a maternity dress, his round face squinted like a Maitreya Buddha and smiled at Qin Zhengxian, and at the same time sighed: "Old Qin, your style is definitely not inferior to that of the past. , You really didn’t take a piece of grass in the police academy for nothing.”

Qin Zhengxian's sneaking into Lucheng this time could not be too ostentatious, so he dressed very plainly, wearing black casual clothes and a black peaked cap, giving him a youthful look.

Standing with the fat Tang Jiadong, no one would guess that the two were born in the same year.

"You really gained a lot of weight." Qin Zhengxian stretched out his hand to explore Tang Jiadong's beer belly with a smile: "How much wine have you drunk to make you fat like this?"

Tang Jiadong laughed shyly and said, "Don't worry, when you get married, you might become another me in this world."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to attract Qin Zhengxian: "Come on, come into my office, we brothers have a good chat."

Qin Zhengxian nodded, and followed Tang Jiadong into the Lucheng Bureau with long legs.

In order to welcome Qin Zhengxian, Tang Jiadong took out his own treasured West Lake Longjing tea and brewed a cup. Qin Zhengxian sipped tea while looking at Tang Jiadong's office and joked: "You are really handsome as the deputy director. Among our classmates, you are the best developed Alright."

Tang Jiadong smiled modestly: "Don't put a high hat on me, I'm just a small deputy director of a small city, and I'm not much older than you when I leave Lucheng."

Qin Zhengxian sat on the sofa in Tang Jiadong's office, crossed his legs and said, "After Shen Ju retired, he went back to his hometown Linzhou to take care of the elderly. I didn't visit his old man's house very often. Some time ago, I heard from Gu Ju that he was sick and hospitalized. do you know?"

"I know", Tang Jiadong took out two Chinese sticks and handed one to Qin Zhengxian, then he ordered another and took a deep breath, saying, "Lung cancer is in the advanced stage. The old man has lost a lot of weight, his mental state is not good, and he coughs up blood severely. According to my teacher's wife, the hospital has issued critical illness notices several times."

Qin Zhengxian frowned and fell into deep thought, Tang Jiadong sighed, stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand and asked, "You came all the way from Hehai to Lucheng, what's the rush?"

Qin Zhengxian sat upright, met Tang Jiadong's gaze and asked, "Eight years ago, the provincial government deployed a major anti-drug operation against the Shaw family. At that time, Bureau Shen was the commander in chief of the operation. You have been with Bureau Shen for the longest time. Have you listened to Bureau Shen?" Did the Bureau mention a drug dealer named Pippi? Or did Shen Bureau mention a person named Ajin under Pippi's hands?"

Tang Jiadong smiled awkwardly, and replied: "It's not like you don't know the situation back then. The Provincial Department of H and the Hehai City Bureau deployed an operation for four years. Later, they were divided into two groups, A and B. I joined the A group led by Mr. Shen. You are in Team B of the Valley Bureau. At that time, we two were still fledgling rookies, and most of our daily work was chores. How could we have so many opportunities to listen to the leader's confidential and important cases..."

Tang Jiadong paused and asked again: "The Shao family has long since ceased to exist, why? You have another big case?"

Qin Zhengxian withdrew his slender hand supporting his chin, and shook his head: "It's not a big case, but a drug dealer named Ah Jin was involved, so I remembered to ask you."

Tang Jiadong shook his head: "I really don't know, and I can't help you."

"I know", Qin Zhengxian nodded: "I probably have to ask Shen Ju personally about this matter, but Shen Ju's body..."

Tang Jiadong nodded in agreement: "Mr. Shen has lost his mind due to his illness. He has been lying in the intensive care unit for several months, and there is really nothing he can do to help him."

Qin Zhengxian's tightly locked brows became heavier, and he raised his eyebrows and asked again: "Did your anti-drug brigade solve any major cases?"

"No," Tang Jiadong said, "Small cities are more leisurely than yours. Occasionally catch a few drug addicts who gather to take drugs, and then collect small grams of drugs. Sometimes they will cooperate with our provincial department to carry out anti-drugs." Major cases arrest a few demolitions, generally there will be no major cases, even if there are, it will not be our turn to reward for meritorious deeds."

Qin Zhengxian's tense jawline protruded from his masseter muscles. He looked at Tang Jiadong who was sitting opposite him intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly found that he no longer had the smug aura of graduating from a military academy that year.

Obviously, when Tang Jiadong returned to the small city, he had already gotten used to the system here, adapted to the slow pace of the small city, and calmly became a civil servant who followed the rules...

"Okay." Qin Zhengxian stood up with a pair of superior long legs and said, "I've already booked a hotel in advance, so I have to go back and catch up on sleep."

Tang Jiadong stood up and responded: "Go, you must be tired from the long-distance driving. When you wake up, I will arrange a dinner party to welcome you."

Qin Zhengxian smiled and nodded.

After driving for about 10 minutes, Qin Zhengxian's car parked steadily in the parking lot of the best four-star hotel in Lucheng. He was about to get out of the car when Lin Jiale called.

"How is it, is there any gain?"

The corners of Qin Zhengxian's lips were tense: "Not yet, don't worry, my old classmate is still hiding with me."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Jiale pinched his throat and asked, "What's going on? Although I didn't work with Tang Jiadong much before, he shouldn't be such a person."

Qin Zhengxian opened the car door and got out of the car and returned to him: "I'm not sure about the details. I'll discuss it with you when I get back to Hehai. Damn, they say that Linzhou is deep in water. I don't think this little Lucheng is worse than Linzhou." How many."

Lin Jiale was silent for a moment, and said: "After all, the foreign places are not under our jurisdiction, so you should be careful in everything."

"Well," Qin Zhengxian asked again: "Didn't Gu Ju ask about me?"

Lin Jiale smiled: "Why didn't you ask, Gu Ju wanted to go to your house in person, but I prevaricated."

"What did you say?"

"I told Gu Ju that the platinum arowana in your family died suddenly, and you are debating whether to steam it or braise it..."

……

Qin Zhengxian took a deep breath, resisting the urge to rush back to Hehai immediately and wring Lin Jiale's head off.

After Xu Lin and his party arrived in Linzhou, Dong Li drove the car straight to the direction of Linzhou city. Xu Lin stared at the tall buildings outside the window and smacked his lips and asked Ale, "Aren't we going to Tianheng Mountain?"

"Ah", Ah Le opened his mouth wide and replied in surprise, "Who said we are going to Tianheng Mountain?"

?

Xu Linrui stared at A Le closely, and A Le trembled in fright and quickly explained: "After your accident, more than half of our deployment in Tianheng Mountain has been withdrawn. This is the boss's order. It is useless for me to be aggressive. Brother Xu."

A Le explained aggrievedly, Xu Lin withdrew his eyes and asked with a sinking heart, "Then where are we going now?"

Dong Li, who drove quietly this time, returned first: "Tianyuan, the western suburb of Linzhou, there is our small base there."

Xu Lin asked coldly, "What is a small base?"

"Warning warehouse, Xijiao Tianyuan is the boss's most important and hidden small base in China," Dong Li explained again.

He showed a slightly proud expression and concentrated on driving the car. He didn't notice that Xu Lin's expression in the back seat became colder, as if it had been sealed with a thousand-year-old frost.
