Tiger Police

Chapter 1 The Rebellious Young Man

Midsummer, nine o'clock in the evening, is the time when the night market is lively, and the pedestrian street is full of people coming and going.

Hu Pingtao sat on the small wooden stool given by the owner of the barbecue stall, looking at the stinky tofu on the grill that was gradually puffed up by the charcoal fire, with a wry smile on his young face, and he looked forward to it more.

No matter who has been hungry all day, there is no other thought in his mind at this time except food.

Luo Yu, who was sitting next to him, raised his hand to support his glasses, picked up a piece of tofu with chopsticks and put it in his bowl, and said with a smile, "Ping Tao, this one is ready, eat first."

The night market barbecue in Yunnan Province is quite distinctive, especially roasted tofu.One-inch square tofu is naturally fermented and grilled over charcoal fire until both sides are browned.The dipping material is also very particular. The wet material is mostly fermented bean curd juice, with a little salt, pepper powder, peppercorns, coriander powder...it is delicious and refreshing in the mouth when eaten warm.

Hu Pingtao and Luo Yu are college classmates, same class and roommates, there is no need to be polite between the two, and Hu Pingtao is really hungry, so he dipped the tofu with chopsticks and dipped it in the seasoning, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed .

"Eat slowly, I also ordered fried rice and beer, enough."

Looking at his greedy eating, Luo Yu couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "It stands to reason that you should be the most promising among our classmates, but I didn't expect... Sigh!"

The 22-year-old Hu Pingtao is tall and has a thin and angular face. Thanks to the physical training he has persisted since middle school, he looks stronger than his peers.The black T-shirt fits well, the massive muscles protrude from the extremely elastic fabric, there is no fat on the abdomen, the ratio between the thigh and the upper body is in line with the golden ratio, and the short hair makes the whole person look energetic, which perfectly interprets the meaning of the word "handsome" all meanings.

Luo Yu's sigh was unreasonable.He has a good relationship with Hu Pingtao, and he knows each other's family background very well——Pingtao's father is the deputy commander of the Yunnan Military Region, and his mother is a high-ranking official in Zhaoshi District. This guy is a proper second-generation official.

He also has an older sister, the vice president of Beitong Group, who is also one of the company's major shareholders.

"I don't understand, what are you doing with your family! Wouldn't it be good to listen to your father's arrangement to join the army? Although we are studying art, we graduated from a serious university with a degree certificate, which is used in the army. How great it will be to be promoted in a few years!"

Hu Pingtao swallowed the food in his mouth, felt the residual hotness in his mouth, shook his head, and said seriously: "You don't understand."

He grew up in a military camp, and his father arranged for him the life path of "being a soldier" early on.During the college entrance examination, Hu Pingtao had a quarrel with his family to fill in the application form. Hu Pingtao did not choose any colleges related to the army, but chose the oil painting major of the Fine Arts Department of Dian Academy of Arts.

Speaking of it, this is largely due to the "quality education" that my mother deliberately chose when I was a child.English, art, music, Go... At that time, my father was not the deputy commander, nor was my mother a high-ranking district official. They were busy with work every day, and my sister got married very early. After dark, my mother came to pick me up after get off work.

Studying fine arts is not a bad thing. My mother finally persuaded my father to calm down his anger and let him reluctantly accept the fact that he was admitted to an art college.But my father had a word beforehand: I will enlist in the army immediately after graduation, and I must have a son who serves as a soldier.

After receiving the graduation certificate and degree certificate, Hu Pingtao took a change of clothes, left a letter for his parents, and left Zhaoshi alone to the provincial capital without saying goodbye.

Young people are very impulsive and have a strong rebellious psychology.Hu Pingtao didn't think too much about it, he just wanted to create a future with his own efforts.In order to prove himself, he left his mobile phone and almost all the pocket money he usually saved, bought a train ticket and went directly to the provincial capital.

When he got out of the train station and looked at the crowd of strangers in front of him, Hu Pingtao felt that he hadn't thought about it. He only had more than 30 yuan in change in his pockets, and he urgently needed to solve the problem of food and accommodation.

Open the phone book and find the phone number of old classmate Luo Yu.

He is local.

"What are you going to do next?" Luo Yu handed over a bunch of roasted beef ribs, tentatively persuading him: "It's not an option to spend it with your father like this. How about I call your home and tell me It's your classmate, tell your mother? Or call your sister."

Hu Pingtao took the beef ribs and forced a forced smile.

He knew that Luo Yu had good intentions.

But if you make this phone call and your family members come over, what's the difference from before?To be ridiculed by my father when I go back will only make the situation worse.

The cruelty of life is that not everyone can live according to their own wishes.The first thing to solve is the problem of eating.

A job must be found as soon as possible.

Chewing the hot and spicy beef tendons, Hu Pingtao fell into deep thought, and his eyes drifted with his thoughts. He avoided Luo Yu embarrassedly, pretended to look at the scenery, and looked towards the side of the barbecue stall.

The seat next to her is a girl in Hanfu, with a round face and baby fat, 19 or 20 years old.Light blue double-breasted skirt, with a beautiful goose yellow border on the red waist.There are several skewers of barbecue on the plate in front of him, and there is a can of "Wanglaoji" with the lid unscrewed next to it.

Barbecue with herbal tea, many people like this way of eating.

Sitting next to her was a middle-aged man, tall and thin, with a high nose, but not too big eyes.He wore a pewter jacket with a white shirt collar showing through the space just above the zipper.The two sat very close, no matter from any angle, they seemed too close.

The age gap between the two is too big, they are not so much a couple, but a father and daughter.

Hu Pingtao raised his eyebrows, his curiosity about the man and woman next to him quickly overwhelmed his melancholy thoughts, and he couldn't help pricking up his ears to listen carefully to the whispered conversation between the two.

The mobile barbecue stalls in the night market are simply furnished, with a few square wooden stools and plywood panels forming a table.The position where Hu Pingtao was sitting and the man and woman just formed a corner, and the movements and lip shapes of the two could be seen.

The idiom "Looking for a child to become a dragon" is perfect for Hu Pingtao's mother.Thanks to being "crammed" by his mother in various study classes when he was a child, Hu Pingtao is very familiar with lip language, and has also mastered sign language and Morse code.

"Beauty, this is the latest model of Iphone. Look at the display screen and the casing of this color. It is absolutely the latest version." The middle-aged man held a mobile phone in his hand and was showing off to the girl.

The girl in Hanfu has been staring at the Iphone in the man's hand, her voice is also very low, full of guard: "Show me."

The man handed over the phone, and the girl skillfully pressed the power button, and brilliant colors soon appeared on the screen.

"This is an OLED full screen. The shell is made of ultra-ceramic panels. It is ultra-thin and has ultra-high-definition pixels. It is the most suitable for taking selfies." The incandescent light on the top of the tent at the barbecue booth illuminates the side face of the thin man, from Hu Pingtao's position You can see the sparse stubble on the opponent's cheeks.The thin man used his left hand to shake the collar of his shirt from time to time, as if he felt hot and was fanning it to cool him down, but Hu Pingtao always felt that something was wrong.

The word "selfie" obviously hit the hearts of girls with round faces in Hanfu.Most of the guarded expression on her face dissipated, and a strong possessive gaze was released from the depths of her eyes, staring at the phone: "How much?"

"3000 yuan." A smile appeared on the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth.

"It's too expensive." Although the round-faced girl is young, she is very experienced in bargaining: "You have already said that this thing is not from a serious source, so I will give you five hundred at most."

The middle-aged man nimbly took the Iphone from her hand, quickly clicked on the mobile phone system on the screen, and laughed in a low voice: "500 yuan? Thank you for being able to say this amount. Look at this, you can check the date of manufacture, and The serial number of the product is all real. I have said that this is a licensed product, not a parallel import made of parts. You can go to the official store and see that the low-end version costs at least 6000 yuan. I am selling you because it is a high-end version. Three thousand."

The round-faced girl was so robbed by him that he didn't know what to say for a while, but what the middle-aged man said made sense when he thought about it carefully.That Iphone is indeed a good thing, and it cannot be faked if it has a serial number.This almost brand new machine costs at least 5000 yuan even in the second-hand market.Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little anxious: "Then you should be cheaper, three thousand is really too expensive."

"That's fine, I'll give you 100 yuan, two thousand and nine." The middle-aged man is also a veteran in business.

"Two thousand." The round-faced girl bargained harder.

The middle-aged man held the Iphone in his hand, pressed the button, the screen turned black, and he was about to get up and leave, with a bit of sullen expression on his face: "You don't buy it in good faith, how can you bargain like you. "

The round-faced girl got a little anxious, and grabbed the corner of his clothes: "Then I'll add another two hundred, two thousand and two?"

The middle-aged man hesitated, and thought for a while: "I'm also busy shipping goods. How about it, two thousand five, and I won't talk about it if it's less. This kind of brand-new licensed goods is rare. Believe it or not, I'm next to you in this pedestrian street." Ask around, there must be someone rushing to ask for it.”

"As you said, two thousand and five." After all, the round-faced girl is young, greedy for cheap and inexperienced, and has a strong desire to buy after being bluffed casually by a middle-aged man, but she still has the most basic precautions: "Let I'll check that phone again."

The middle-aged man sat down again, and handed over the Iphone very generously: "Look, if you like it, pay with one hand and deliver with one hand."

Hu Pingtao chewed the beef gluten slowly. He was very familiar with the Iphone. He pretended to be casual and peeked at the side: the middle-aged man did not lie, and there was no problem with the startup screen or the music. This thing is indeed genuine.

This should be a stolen machine, no wonder it sold so cheaply.

"Give me money if you like it!" Obviously, this is not the first time the man has done this kind of business. He unceremoniously took the Iphone from the girl's hand, and at the same time took out another mobile phone from his pocket, and flexibly slid the screen open with his thumb : "Do you give cash or use Alipay, or WeChat transfer?"

"WeChat!" The girl was very vigilant. While opening her backpack and taking out her mobile phone, she kept her eyes fixed on the Iphone held in the left hand of the middle-aged man: "Give me the things first, and I will definitely give you the money."

"Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with one hand. This is the rule." The middle-aged man said earnestly, and sent the mobile phone with his right hand to open WeChat in front of the girl: "This is an old saying left by our ancestors, money first, goods second."
