Tiger Police

Chapter 147 The reason
"Old Wang, why do you have such a big opinion on Hu Pingtao? Did you know him before and have a feud with him?"

Wang Dong's face was slightly reddened, his voice was louder than before, and he opened his mouth to deny, "Where did you go, it's nothing at all."

"Then I don't understand. Why do you keep staring at him?" Liu Guangbei spread his hands and said patiently, "Neither of us saw any problem with that car last night. If it wasn't for Hu Pingtao The car was stopped for armed inspection, and the drugs went in. Think about it, more than 300 kilograms, worth tens of millions! Our mission is to control drugs and protect the country. Just like the goalkeeper of the football team, seeing the ball fly Come here, desperate to block it."

Wang Dong's face was embarrassed by what was said, and he was slightly annoyed: "Old Liu, you know that I don't mean that, I just talk about the facts. Anyway, young people have no experience, you have to admit that?"

Liu Guangbei exposed him with a smile: "I know what you are thinking. Chu Guofang is an old man at our border checkpoint. He has been here for decades and is still the captain. You are almost retiring, old Wang. You I want to get the old Chu up now to take over your position, right?"

Now that the matter has been discussed, Wang Dong simply stated his attitude: "You are right, I just want the old Chu to take over. The old Chu is 52 this year, and he will have to retire in a few years, why can't he be promoted One liter? What you said just now is correct. Chu Guofang is an old man in the station. Before I was transferred from the police station, he had been working at the border checkpoint for several years. There is nothing to say in terms of experience. The old Chu is ranked first. Second, no one in the station would dare to rank first. In terms of his serious and responsible attitude towards work, Lao Chu has been rated as excellent for several years in a row."

"When arresting armed drug traffickers more than ten years ago, Zhang Tianshun led the team, and the old Chu followed him to set up a checkpoint in the east. That night, the other party drove a car and forcibly punched the card, but was stopped by the preset roadblock. Those drug dealers opened The gun shot, Lao Zhang died on the spot, and Lao Chu had two fingers broken by the grenade. This is the first credit in our station!"

Liu Guangbei sighed, and said kindly: "I know what you said, and I remember it in my mind! But Lao Wang, the rules are the rules. The old Chu worked at the border checkpoint, not as a police officer. , but a temporary employee who came in through the general recruitment examination. If he had not made great achievements in arresting armed drug traffickers and was injured, the higher authorities would not have been able to give him this official staff anyway."

Wang Dong was very stubborn: "Yes! Since he has a staff and is a regular police officer, why can't he be the deputy station chief?"

Liu Guangbei said earnestly: "Whether to take the position depends on the arrangement of the superior. The biggest shortcoming of the old Chu is the diploma. He only has a high school degree. Although he has been trained in the Police Academy for several months, he is still not qualified. Do you think I Don't you care about his affairs? I've been persuading him to apply for a high school if he has time, even if it's an online education. But the old Chu always said that he was getting old and didn't have the heart to study... Tell me, He is like this, what else can I do?"

"When the old station master was here, he had won enough benefits for the old Chu. Why do you think the old Chu can be the captain? How did he get the sub-section level treatment now? We are not blind, old Chu His contribution will not be forgotten. But if things are reversed, if anyone insists on this point and relies on the old to sell the old, then it is really putting the cart before the horse."

"The capable people in this world are not just the ones you saw, there are many others who are very strong. Let's talk about what happened last night! Even if the two of us were not at the scene and the old reserve was on duty, do you think he can see Is there a problem getting out of that car?"

Wang Dong was told to bow his head, and he wanted to admit defeat, but he was a bit unwilling.

"I...I have no problem with Hu Pingtao." After a long time, he raised his head with a sullen expression on his face: "I just feel that the higher authorities treat people unfairly. The old Chu has been working hard at the border checkpoint for so many years, why can't he provide A mention? The system is dead, but people are alive, not to mention..."

"That's enough! There is a problem with your thinking." Liu Guangbei's tone suddenly became serious: "Who goes up and who goes down, promotion and demotion, there are rules, and you must follow the procedures. I know you and the old Chu The relationship is good, but this cannot be the reason for you to favor him. Although Hu Pingtao is young, he is hard-working and excellent. You have to see the advantages in him, rather than worrying that he is too good to take other people's positions. .”

Every word he said pierced his heart. Wang Dong wanted to refute, but he couldn't find the right words. He could only lower his head, sullenly, and said unwillingly, "...I...I didn't think so..."

"It's fine if you don't! I know you're not that narrow-minded." Liu Guangbei laughed and patted him on the shoulder.He never took advantage of the other party verbally, nor would he let the other party down the stage with words.Be sympathetic when speaking, and be good to each other.

……

At noon, Hu Pingtao finished his shift and walked towards the cafeteria.

Last night, more than 300 kilograms of drugs were seized. According to normal conditions, this should be the biggest achievement of the border inspection station this year.

In the early hours of the morning, Liu Guangbei, the station master, specifically told the cafeteria: buy more vegetables, and give everyone extra meals at noon and evening today.

Three dishes were added at noon: stewed winter melon with pork ribs, fried pork with pineapple, and braised chicken.

The cafeteria also bought a batch of mangoes.In the tropics, the fruit is available year-round and has a sweet taste.

As soon as Hu Pingtao entered the restaurant, he saw Zhang Qingbao and Zhang Qingjia approaching with smiles.

They are two brothers, and they are also the principal and deputy captain of the fifth team.

Zhang Qingbao is the eldest, and there are two younger brothers under Zhang Qing's family, named Zhang Qingwei and Zhang Qingguo, all four of whom are policemen.The difference is that Zhang Qingwei works in the police station, while Zhang Qingguo works in the prefecture.

Four brothers, but not quadruplets.

"Xiaohu, come here, sit here." Zhang Qingbao was very enthusiastic, and pulled Hu Pingtao to sit down beside an empty table.Zhang Qing's family greeted him, then turned around and went to the window to serve food.

"You did a great job." Zhang Qingbao gave Hu Pingtao a thumbs up, and repeatedly praised: "I slept soundly last night, and I didn't know about it until I woke up this morning. I just went to the warehouse to see, and these people are careful." ! Even the macadamia nuts are made like this, and the packaging must have cost a lot of money. Now it's good, and it's gone... Hahahaha!"

Police and drug dealers are natural enemies.

Zhang Qing's family brought three servings of meals, and he specially put the one with the most meat in front of Hu Pingtao.

Stir-fried meat with pineapple is a local specialty, sweet and sour, tender and juicy.

Hu Pingtao was quite surprised, holding his chopsticks in the air, looking at the two brothers of the Zhang family who were sitting across the dining table, hesitantly said: "Brother Zhang...this...isn't appropriate!"

Zhang Qing's family apparently ordered an extra serving of food, and put them all on the plate in front of him.

Although the station manager Liu Guangbei said it was an extra meal, there are rules for extra meals.Each person can get a normal amount of extra food, if you want more, you have to pay extra.

Hu Pingtao is a newcomer, and he knows the two brothers of the Zhang family, but their relationship with each other is not so good. At most, they just nod and say hello to each other when they pass by.

There are hundreds of people at the Xiluo border checkpoint. It will take a while to get to know each of them and call them by name.

Zhang Qingbao is tall, with dark skin, and his arms are far thicker than Hu Pingtao's. He really has a strong back.He smiled "hehe", and tapped Hu Pingtao's plate twice with his chopsticks: "You're welcome, this meal is mine."

Zhang Qing's family also said next to him: "I have read the duty list. The day after tomorrow is the weekend, and we are not on duty. In the evening, we will go to a nearby village to drink together. There is a restaurant there, and the ghost chicken and Niu Sabao are very authentic."

Hu Pingtao hastily declined: "How can this work? I just came here, and I'm a newcomer. If you want to invite me, you have to invite me. How can it be the other way around?"

Zhang Qingbao said with a smile: "Everyone is paid for food, and I don't invite just anyone. You are different. For the batch of heroin seized last night, I have to treat you to a drink no matter what."

Hu Pingtao asked strangely: "Why?"

Zhang Qingbao plucked at the rice and said vaguely: "I like dealing with people who are careful like you. Brother, I'm in my forties, so it's not too much for me to call you "Little Tiger"." ?”

Hu Pingtao laughed and said, "Of course not too much, I have to call you Brother Zhang."

Zhang Qingbao was overjoyed: "That's right. Remember, just this weekend, let's drink, and we won't go home until we're drunk."

From the beginning to the end, the Zhang family brothers just didn't mention why they invited Hu Pingtao to eat and drink.The three of them ate and chatted about other topics until the end of lunch. They were still on duty in the afternoon, so they said hello and left the cafeteria.

Half an hour later, Liu Guangbei called Hu Pingtao to the station master's office.

He smiled all over his face: "Xiaohu, this case has been reported to the provincial department. You should sort out the information as soon as possible, and the provincial department will send people down to start the investigation the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"Okay." Hu Pingtao nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Station Master, I have something I want to ask you."

Liu Guangbei said: "Say it!"

"Zhang Qingbao and Zhang Qing's family, do you know each other?"

"Of course I do."

"The two brothers invited me to dinner at noon today, and also made an appointment to have a drink together on the weekend. I am new here, and I am not familiar with the people and things here. Bureau Xiong said, if you encounter problems, you should ask the station master for advice. If it is normal Eating and drinking, that's nothing, but I'm not familiar with them, I don't know..."

Before Hu Pingtao finished speaking, Liu Guangbei waved his hand and said with a smile: "So that's the case. Hehe, you don't have to worry about this matter. Zhang Qingbao and Zhang Qing's family have no malicious intentions. They said they invited you to drink, but they were really just drinking." .”

After a pause, Liu Guangbei continued: "Xiaohu, don't be burdened with thoughts, and don't think too complicated about people. I know the four children of the old Zhang family. Their father, Zhang Tianshun, was also at the border inspection back then. Station work. That year when he arrested drug traffickers, he died in the line of duty, and the two children of the Zhang family swore to their father’s portrait that they would become policemen and fight against drugs for the rest of their lives.”

"I was also there at the time..."

"The reason why Zhang Qingbao and Zhang Qing's family asked you to drink is because you seized the batch of drugs last night. These two brothers are very simple. They think that only those who are really down-to-earth are worth making friends with."

Hu Pingtao thought deeply, and nodded slightly: "So it's like this... Station Master, please tell me about their father!"

Liu Guangbei pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "In [-], the border checkpoint was not separated from the police station. When a case came up, both sides went to the same place to support each other. Zhang Tianshun was the deputy station chief and the police station at that time. The deputy director is usually busy at both ends, so he can't take care of his family."

"That day we received a tip-off that foreign drug dealers came in with weapons. At that time, it was not like now, everyone had a mobile phone, and such top-secret news did not dare to be sent through the BB machine, and could only be sent manually. Da. It needs to be verified, reviewed, and verified... By the time the news is confirmed and delivered to us, it is already past six o'clock in the evening."

"The time of crossing the border reported by the informant is nine o'clock in the evening. Lao Zhang and I rushed to the designated place to lurk in a hurry with people."

"Xiaohu, you have led the patrol team. The mountains, especially at night, are really not for people. All kinds of insects bite you like crazy, but you can't make a sound, and you don't dare to scratch too hard. The skin is broken Not to mention the infection, if it attracts the attention of drug dealers, it will really fall short.”

"Let's talk about Lao Wang, Wang Dong, the deputy station chief. He was next to me at the time. Later, he found out that there was a ditch there. His legs were soaked in the water and he was stung by more than a dozen leeches. You damn thing Yes, I know that after I bite it, I can't pull it, and I can't pull it. I can only sprinkle salt and let it come out by itself. But at that time, I was busy with missions, and no one could come out with salt. After completing the mission, I returned to the station, Several of the leeches on Lao Wang's body got inside, leaving only a tail outside."

"The conversation is off the mark, let's continue talking about Lao Zhang! The informant that time was very accurate, and the drug dealer entered the ambush circle. Generally speaking, when we are fully prepared, we insist on capturing alive. That day Lao Zhang rushed to the front. When the other party reacted, he pushed down the drug dealer, and as soon as he took out the handcuffs to arrest him, I suddenly smelled a strong smell of gunpowder and screamed quickly."

Hu Pingtao listened very carefully, and asked intently: "Did you shoot?"

Liu Guangbei understood what he meant, nodded, and sighed: "It's a grenade... Drug traffickers are all desperadoes. They know that once they are caught, they will die. People die for money, and birds die for food! It was late at night , I couldn’t see anything in the dark, and the flashlight was very blurry, and no one noticed that the drug dealer pulled out the pull ring of the grenade while being pushed down.”

"The "smell of gunpowder" I called reminded everyone. People around fell down one after another, but the distance was too close. The killing radius of that kind of grenade was more than 15 meters, and all of us were almost within ten meters. The drug dealer was killed on the spot, and our side was injured to varying degrees. Among them, Zhang Tianshun was the most seriously injured."
