Tiger Police

Chapter 158 Beggar
Even old border inspectors like Liu Guangbei, the station master, failed to see any traces of macadamia hidden in poison, but Hu Pingtao discovered it.

Go out with a patrol team, find footprints in the wild, follow the vines, and catch a smuggling group of dozens of people.

Now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, after just a little smell, he immediately noticed that there was something wrong with the so-called "sealed wine" in the jar, and ordered the arrest without hesitation.

Kona is an auxiliary police officer recruited from the state city. In a place full of masculinity like the border checkpoint, she is young and beautiful, and she is an attractive magnetic field wherever she goes.When the incident happened, she was standing next to the conveyor belt with a metal detector in her hand. No matter whether the young police officer handcuffed the middle-aged man, or Hu Pingtao rushed over to knock the target down, it only took a few seconds for Kona to recover. everything is over.

She looked at Hu Pingtao, who was arranging his clothes, with little stars shining in her eyes of admiration: "Hu team, you are so amazing! How do you know there is something wrong with those wines?"

Hu Pingtao joked: "Warning you don't think about me, I'm a married man."

This made all the other people present laugh.

Hu Pingtao continued to smile and said: "He faltered and stood there without moving, and kept saying "sealed wine", which is itself a problem. Besides, no matter what kind of wine you have, no matter how expensive it is, as long as When you enter the customs, you must check. As long as you think about it, you will know that there are either private goods in the jar, or there is something wrong with the wine."

"I don't know exactly what ingredients are in the wine. I have to wait until the test results come out to find out. But I guess there are several possibilities, narcotics, ephedrine, stimulants, or the state's explicit control The special chemical composition. In short, it is disguised and smuggled into the country, and then extracted."

Kona flickered her long eyelashes: "Is it the raw material used to make methamphetamine?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "It's possible, anyway, let's wait for the test results!"

The inspection channel quickly returned to normal.This kind of thing happens almost every day at the border checkpoint, and it is not uncommon.

It was almost eleven o'clock at noon.

There is still a long queue of people outside the passage, but the number of people waiting to pass the inspection is much less than before.After entering the customs, you have to catch the 11:30 shuttle bus to the market town. Of course, there are also buses later, but in this way, you will not be able to catch up with the sales and make no money.

Hu Pingtao's cell phone rang, and when he clicked on it, it was the number of the station master Liu Guangbei.

"Xiaohu, come to my office." He spoke in the same tone as usual.

Hu Pingtao was a little puzzled: "Now? I'm still on duty! Liu Zhong was called away by Station Master Wang and never came back. I'm the only one at the border inspection channel."

According to the usual practice, no matter what time period, day shift or night shift, there must be at least one person above the deputy captain present at the border inspection channel.

"Liu Zhong has already passed, and he will be here soon. You come here now, there is something urgent." Liu Guangbei's tone was not negotiable, and he spoke much faster than usual.

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Okay."

……

Station Master's Office.

The moment he opened the door, Hu Pingtao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

In the room, Lei Yue was sitting on the side sofa, he waved at Hu Pingtao: "Don't stand there, come in quickly."

Hu Pingtao walked into the room, closed the door, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

Stationmaster Liu Guangbei sat on the chair behind the desk, put his right index finger in the center of his lips, and signaled Hu Pingtao to keep quiet.None of the three spoke, holding their breath and concentrating on making sure that there was no sound coming from the next room. Then Liu Guangbei said in a calm and slow tone: "Xiaohu, there is a temporary task. You can hand over the work on your hands later, what are the documents and data?" Leave it to Zhang Qingbao. Captain Lei has a car here, so you can go with him after lunch."

"Where are you going?" Hu Pingtao subconsciously nodded despite some surprises.With the experience of last time, he now has a full understanding of the task of temporary transfer.

"Go back to the provincial capital." Lei Yue, who was sitting next to him, said, "This is a task directly assigned by Ran Ting. I will be a sounding board and let you know."

With that said, he rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch: "That's it! Let's go to the cafeteria to eat first, and leave after eating."

Hu Pingtao felt a little strange: "So urgent? Why don't you and Liu Zhan go to get dinner first, Brother Lei, and I'll come back after I go back to the dormitory to clean up. Soon, no more than 10 minutes at most."

Lei Yue smiled lightly: "No need to clean up, this time is a special mission, no personal belongings are allowed."

……

After lunch, Lei Yue drove to Zhoucheng with Hu Pingtao.

At night, arrived smoothly, the car did not stop, went straight to the airport.

From the state capital to the provincial capital, the flight time is about one hour.

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, a group of people arrived at the Provincial Public Security Bureau.

Lights were on in many rooms of the office building.

Seeing Lei Yue and Hu Pingtao walking into the office, Ran Hongjun quickly stood up from his chair and greeted them with a smile.

"Come here overnight from Xiluo, are you tired?" He asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'm often on night shift when I'm on the station, I'm used to it." Hu Pingtao grinned.

Ran Hongjun signaled Lei Yue to close the door, turned around, and said to Hu Pingtao seriously: "Now there is an urgent task that must be completed by you."

Although Lei Yue didn't reveal a word along the way, Hu Pingtao still guessed part of the content related to the mission: "Ran Ting, you mean the follow-up of the smuggling case?"

As soon as the words came out, Ran Hongjun was stunned, his expression suddenly became severe, and he subconsciously turned his sharp eyes to Lei Yue who was sitting on the chair diagonally opposite.

The latter almost jumped up from the chair, quickly waved his hands, and defended in an innocent tone: "Ran Ting, I strictly abide by the confidentiality regulations, and I haven't said a word to him. Hong Zhitao and Li Ling, both of them can testify."

Ran Hongjun turned his gaze back to Hu Pingtao, looked at him suspiciously for a few seconds, and asked, "How did you guess that?"

Hu Pingtao said with a smile: "Actually, I was also thinking about this case during this period of time. Nuo Kang is the main criminal, and I am in charge of the initial trial of all smugglers this time. The confessions of the main criminals of several groups point to the eastern coast, and the content is very complicated. There is a large-scale drug trafficking and drug trafficking, and it also involves the transshipment and trafficking of overseas people, and this is not the first case. In total, Naw Kham and the others have transported hundreds of people to the eastern coast. This kind of cross-provincial and cross-border The case is very troublesome, and the police of the two provinces must jointly solve it and provide mutual support and convenience."

Ran Hongjun nodded slightly, the confusion in his eyes disappeared a bit, but the curiosity remained unchanged: "Continue."

"I only found out that I was temporarily transferred here at noon today. Although neither Brother Lei nor Station Master Liu revealed anything, I could more or less guess that it was about this case before and after the contact." Hu Pingtao's tone was calm and reasonable. According to: "The border inspection station is very busy, and the arranged work plan will not be easily changed. Of course, major cases are exceptions, not to mention that Lei Ge and Station Master Liu have made it very clear at noon: this is a special task, according to the confidentiality regulations, Don't ask, don't ask, even if they know, they won't tell."

"As for why I was chosen, I think on the one hand, I am very familiar with the case itself, and on the other hand, I may have an advantage in language. The illegal immigrants involved in the case include Burmese, Annan and Jianpuzhai people. I am proficient in Burmese I can speak a few words in the simple Zhai language, Annan language, and although I am not proficient, I have no problem with daily conversations.”

In one word, Ran Hongjun and Lei Yue looked at each other in dismay.

After a long time, Ran Hongjun sighed: "Young people are really flexible in thinking. Compared with them, I am really old."

Lei Yue sat on the opposite sofa in silence, staring at Hu Pingtao, his eyes were full of plundering desire, but also a strong unwillingness to be crushed.

"Since you have already guessed it, then I will open the skylight and speak clearly." Ran Hongjun stretched his slightly stiff facial muscles, and said seriously: "The Donghai Provincial Department has set up a special task force for the last chain murder case. Focus on checking outsiders. After a large-scale investigation, they have already grasped some clues. But the more they investigate, they feel that this case is complicated, far from being as simple as we know now."

Hu Pingtao tentatively asked: "A large-scale syndicate committed crimes?"

Ran Hongjun nodded: "There are a lot of people involved, and it's not just murder, drug trafficking and prostitution. What we have seen is only the tip of the iceberg. The coastal provinces and departments deployed elite soldiers and strong generals to jointly handle the case last year, but there are too few clues and no clear clues. The search direction. Fortunately, you captured the smuggling group of Nuo Kang a few days ago, which opened a breakthrough very unexpectedly, and some seemingly useless clues suddenly came to life."

Hu Pingtao didn't get to the bottom of the case, he asked seriously: "Ran Ting, what do I need?"

Ran Hongjun was very satisfied with his attitude: "Go to the guest house first, take a good rest tonight, and recharge your spirits. Someone will connect with you tomorrow morning, and then set off. This case is serious, and it involves neighboring countries and military regions. The side has given full support and specially provided a transport plane. You can read the information on the plane tomorrow, and then do further familiarization when you get to the East China Sea.”

……

Two days later, Donghai Province, Jinzhou.

Hu Pingtao sat under the eaves on the side of the road, avoiding the scorching sun, leaning against the wall to doze off.

He was wearing a tattered top.The material of the clothes was thin, dirty and old, many places of the sleeves and hem had been pulverized, strands of cotton thread were hanging down, and it felt as if the clothes would fall apart with the ear-piercing sound of silk tearing as long as they were pulled hard.

The trousers, too, were black and covered with dirt, and the hems were covered with dried mud.

If Su Xiaolin was standing in front of her at this moment, it would be difficult for her to recognize that this disheveled man was actually her beloved husband.

Dirty dark brown skin can be created by applying a special paint on the body.

Makeup has been applied from the eyes to the chin, artificially creating bags under the eyes, and the cheeks are deeply indented, making Hu Pingtao look thinner than usual.

The long and tattered underwear blocked the burly and strong muscles.I deliberately chose oversized clothes, which are loose on my body, plus a pair of rotten cloth shoes that exposed my toes after walking too much, and a wig stuck to the top of my head... In short, Hu Pingtao is now an endearing Beggars walking around the streets with broken bowls.

The local dialect in Jinzhou is Cantonese, and Hu Pingtao speaks it fluently, with a strong local accent.

Although he is a beggar, the setting of his new identity is very real—more than ten years ago, during the large-scale demolition outside the third ring road of Jinzhou, a villager suddenly became rich and received millions of compensation, and was lured into the underground In a casino, you lose everything in a few days.He was ashamed to see his family, so he found a place where no one was around, and hanged himself.

At that time, the Internet was far less developed than it is now, and not many people knew about it.The East China Sea Provincial Department arranged for this family to let Hu Pingtao use the identity of the deceased, and lied to the outside world that "he is not dead, but he just has no face to go back."

If no one asks, let it go. If someone asks, this is the perfect identity cover.

This is a residential building facing the street.

It was past noon, and the sun moved westward, casting a shadow on the back of the building in that direction.

Just over ten meters away to the left of Hu Pingtao, there was another beggar enjoying the shade.He was dressed similarly to Hu Pingtao, and he also had a woven bag full of sundries beside him.The difference is that there are some tomatoes and cucumbers under his feet, and a mineral water bottle filled with tap water, and he sits there very comfortably and chews.

There is a vegetable market nearby, where half-rotten and discarded fruits and vegetables can often be found in the garbage dump.

Beggars don't dislike these things. They carry tools like knives with them. As long as they cut off the rotten parts, they can eat the rest.

The cucumbers in this season are very fresh, and the reason why they are rotten is because they are squeezed during transportation.The beggar was a little older than Hu Pingtao, and he didn't care about his colleagues next to him, chewing on the crispy cucumber, making a "click, click, click" sound.

Hu Pingtao rubbed his empty stomach and slowly opened his eyes, feeling that the weather was still so hot and his hunger was stronger than usual.

He stood up, swayed and walked in front of the middle-aged beggar, swallowing hard, making a hoarse voice from deep in his throat.

"Follow me with a cucumber." It's in Cantonese.

The middle-aged beggar didn't even look at him, and said lightly, "Get lost!"

Hu Pingtao was instantly enraged.

Unpleasant and dirty curse words burst out of his mouth, and he raised his fist and slammed it down on the middle-aged beggar's head.The opponent had been prepared for a long time, stuffed the unfinished cucumber into his mouth, turned over on the spot to avoid it, picked up a stick placed beside him, and swept towards Hu Pingtao's ankle.

The description of the beggar gang in martial arts novels is basically correct.Walking in the rivers and lakes, begging for food and standing up, there is always a stick.Beating people at the top, chasing dogs at the bottom, and being old and unable to walk can still be pestered.

The two wrestled together like this.

The reason is very simple, just an incomplete half cucumber.

The people nearby would not let go of this kind of free excitement, and soon a group of people gathered to watch.

"The beggar beat someone."

"It was the young man who made the first move."
