Tiger Police

Chapter 168 Powder and Ice

Jiang Tao casually picked up a bottle of iced mineral water from the bar, unscrewed the bottle cap, took a long gulp, then put down the mineral water, panting heavily: "I don't know why, many regular customers not coming."

The process of selling goods in bars is very secretive.

At Jiang Tao's level, he wouldn't show up in person at all.If you mark him as person A, the daily goods will pass through his hands and be arranged to company member B, and then there will be a lower-level transfer person C, and finally will be passed on to the real distribution personnel, that is, Ding's hands.

A does not know C, and D does not know B.As a high-ranking Jiang Tao, in the eyes of Ding, who is at the bottom, his public identity is the bar manager.When Ding got the goods from Bing, he traded in other places outside the bar, and only came in when he sold the goods. After all, this is the real market.

Even if there is a problem in a certain link in the middle, the police have no evidence to arrest all the delivery links of the goods at all levels.The tipping off is very simple, just make a phone call.The company has a detailed and strict implementation process. The delivery people in the previous link realized that the situation was wrong and ran away immediately. In addition, they usually use pseudonyms, so it is useless even if the lower-level distributors report it.

Taking Jiang Tao as an example, he has two names outside, namely Wang Heng and Ouyang Zhennan.

There are also three nicknames, namely Xiong Ge, Huang Dayan and Orange.The reason for taking such nicknames is the word "yellow" in common.Jiang Tao has a large macula from his left ear to the lower side of his cheek, which is the scar left by fighting in his early years.Generally speaking, scars will turn red, black, and white, but rarely turn yellow.

The reason why he is called "Brother Xiong" is because of the realgar; the big yellow eyes are a joke; the oranges are similar.

Except for Hong Zongyuan, Zheng Qiang, Hu Pingtao, and the core figures in the company, none of the other employees knew Jiang Tao's real name.

Hu Pingtao now also has two names and three nicknames.

This method does not apply to Hong Zongyuan.He has been in this business for too long, and many people know his name and nickname. Adding a disguise will only arouse suspicion, which is counterproductive.

Humans have become smarter and smarter over the course of evolution.

The same is true for drug trafficking. They are all in a life-and-death contest, fighting wits and courage with the police, and improving each other's abilities.

Hu Pingtao frowned slightly: "Recently, the rumors are tight, let the people below be smarter, sell as soon as they can, only sell old customers, and don't consider newcomers for the time being."

Jiang Tao gave a "hmm", nodded, turned and left with mineral water.

Anyone who saw this scene would feel that Hu Pingtao's status and authority were higher than Jiang Tao's.

Actually not at all.

In the company, Jiang Tao has a higher position than Hu Pingtao.

The reason for this ambiguous situation was arranged by Hong Zongyuan.

He knew that the "Gravity" bar couldn't stay hidden under the water forever.Whether it is to attract the attention of the police or be seized, it will be a matter of time.Therefore, in terms of personnel arrangements, the bar is divided into two modes: "external" and "internal".

In the past, Zheng Biao was in charge of external affairs.The reason why this guy was chosen was because of his sturdy and rough appearance, he could hold the field.Now Zheng Biao has been arranged to go to Moses, and the external work is handed over to Hu Pingtao.He is young and has beautiful bartending skills. Once he stands at the bar, he is the benchmark of the whole bar.Moreover, Hu Pingtao is good-looking, handsome, and very popular with female guests.

This is not nonsense.Since there was a newcomer named Hu Pingtao at the bar, many women became interested in him.There are young girls, and there are also boudoirs who get drunk.Alcohol is just an ordinary medium for them. High-end cocktails cost hundreds of dollars a glass, and they can drink three to five glasses a night.Sometimes when I am happy to drink, I directly spend money to open champagne, [-], [-], or even tens of thousands of dollars a bottle.

With Hu Pingtao "attracting firepower" in the front, Jiang Tao, the real supervisor, can stand behind the scenes and manipulate.

Hong Zongyuan is not a fool——Although Jiang Tao is not as capable as Hu Pingtao, he is an old man who has followed him for many years, at least he has no problem with loyalty.Although he wanted to promote "A Heng", he had to go through the process of "testing" and "training".Going to Songcheng to collect the bill is just a small task, and there will be more similar things in the future.

Both Hu Pingtao and Jiang Tao are only familiar with the jobs within their scope of authority.This is the separation of powers deliberately created by Hong Zongyuan.Only by letting the people below continue to work hard for power, even desperately, can they bring more benefits to themselves.

Lurking is an extremely dangerous task.

The day before yesterday, Hu Pingtao uploaded an intelligence report.The main content is the regulars of the "Gravity" bar.

Please note that it is not the guests who come here to buy wine and entertain, but the "pink customers".

People like Zheng Qiang, Jiang Tao, and Hong Zongyuan are already under control, and the arrest results are limited now.According to the requirements of the special task force, the focus is to dig deep into the drug delivery channels and the location of the ice production workshop, as well as the missing persons smuggled from abroad.

To sum up, the prevention and control of drugs can only be started from the end, that is, the demand groups.

Li Shengbin and Cao Yong have been busy these days, arresting more than 200 people in one go, all of them are drug addicts.

This is only one-third of the list provided by Hu Pingtao.

There are other bars and clubs under Hong Zongyuan's name, and there are "guests" there, but they are beyond Hu Pingtao's normal authority and cannot get more information.

Under normal circumstances, most of the drug trafficking process of A, B, C, and D can only catch "C" and "D".Although Hu Pingtao provided a lot of information, in order not to startle the snake, Cao Yong only ordered the arrest of "Ding", pretending that he failed to grasp the clues, and did not further touch "Bing".

Jiang Tao's shipments have suddenly shrunk, which is also reasonable.

This kind of change happens frequently, and on the surface, it means a new round of crackdown and a comprehensive renovation of the city.After all, the sub-district offices and communities strictly manage the population in their jurisdictions, and it is difficult for drug addicts to hide their identities in such an environment.The special case team is in charge of the source of the drugs, and the police station checks the drug users in the area under their jurisdiction. If they find one, they will control one and send it to the drug rehabilitation center for strict management.

Without customers, the goods become garbage.

It's already past nine o'clock in the evening, which is the time when the bar is lively.

Standing in the center of the bar, Hu Pingtao mixed the wine skillfully and delivered it to the guests accurately.

A young man also wearing a black and white hospitality uniform stood beside him, watching him enviously as he opened wine bottles and poured base wine into goblets.

"Brother Heng, you are really good. Who did you learn this bartending technique from?"

His name is Liu Shuyu, nicknamed "Taro", and he is also a member of the company, but his qualifications are far less senior than Zheng Qiang and Jiang Tao, and he belongs to the periphery.

Hu Pingtao turned his head to look at him, and replied with a smile: "Lanxiang Technical School, have you heard of it?"

Yuto rolled his eyes: "Stop making trouble, okay? Do you think I don't know anything? Lan Xiang teaches excavators. What does it have to do with bartending?"

Hu Pingtao maintained a comfortable and modest smile: "Bartender is a profession, and many schools have this course. You only need to search the Internet to find out."

Taro stretched his arms, yawned amidst the loud music, leaned close to Hu Pingtao's ear, and said disdainfully, "I just ran out to work because I didn't want to go to school. Brother Heng, teach me how to do it." Make the bar!"

Although he entered the company earlier than Hu Pingtao, he has no ability, and has been staying in the bar, selling wine and fans.

Liu Shuyu has a particularly honest side.He knew that it would be difficult for him to have room for advancement, and that he would never see the sun if he was addicted to drugs.He has a clear understanding of his own position, keeps his posture very low, and calls everyone respectfully "Brother" no matter he meets.

"Okay!" Hu Pingtao smiled, and moved the goblet with the base wine towards Liu Shuyu. He suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked, "Taro, I didn't hide from you when I was mixing wine. Ah! You should have seen some basic processes."

Liu Shuyu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "You just came here a few days ago. I couldn't figure out your details. I thought you were just like everyone else. You just came here to work part-time and left after a while. Didn't expect Master Hong to let you If you are in charge, you should be the boss, even Brother Tao has to be obedient and obedient in front of you. So...hehehehe..."

He also speaks candidly.It was true that he meant to despise Hu Pingtao before, but it was different later.

"Hehe, Taro, you're thinking too much." Hu Pingtao reached out and grabbed Liu Shuyu's arm, pulled him closer, and said seriously in a low voice: "Brother Hong values ​​you very much, otherwise he wouldn't let you stay at the bar. Actually No matter what line of work you are in, it’s the same, talk less and do more, and you will be the new supervisor in a few years.”

As a latent personnel, it is a principle to make more friends and less evil.

Liu Shuyu's young face was full of excitement: "Really?"

Hu Pingtao smiled and pulled him to the counter, gave up his seat, picked up the glass measuring cup and handed it over: "Don't you want to learn how to mix wine? Come on, as I said, you mix and pour the wine according to the proportion."

A mojito is freshly made quickly.

Putting on the accessories and handing them to the guests, Liu Shuyu couldn't help being elated. He said to Hu Pingtao enthusiastically, "Come on, let's continue."

After teaching him to mix four glasses in a row, Hu Pingtao pretended to be emotional while there were no guests asking for wine, and sighed softly: "The economic downturn is the same in any line of work. Business is getting more and more difficult."

Liu Shuyu glanced at him, and naturally connected with Jiang Tao's payment, and said with a low smile, "Brother Heng, this is normal and not surprising."

Hu Pingtao laughed and said, "Why do you say that?"

"When Brother Zheng was here, the company would take out some goods to feed the fish for free every month." Liu Shuyu leaned into his ear and explained in a low voice: "Recently, the news has been tight, and Brother Zheng has also left. The goods are sold. If you don’t, you won’t make any money.”

Hu Pingtao asked suspiciously: "Feed the fish? What kind of fish are you feeding?"

Liu Shuyu touched him with his shoulder, and raised his finger to those people dancing wildly to the dynamic music in the distant hall: "They are all fish. As long as they have not been powdered, they are fine."

Hu Pingtao immediately understood: "You mean a free trial?"

Liu Shuyu nodded, and immediately showed an expression of someone who had experienced it: "No matter which company, it must expand its customer base. Brother Zheng has a group of people who are responsible for this. They find people to strike up conversations in various venues. After getting acquainted Just treat guests to drink, and when the fun is high, start handing out cigarettes, as long as you smoke two casually, you will never throw them away again."

Hu Pingtao's eyes flickered for a moment: "I can't tell! Brother Hong is quite generous. But in this way, the company's expenses will be too high."

"It's like this when you do sales, and you don't want your child to be a wolf." Yutou shrugged: "Besides, as long as customers smoke once, they will take the initiative to find them in the future. Hehehehe, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. , one time for free, and then you have to honestly spend money to smoke for a lifetime.”

He was very proud that the music drowned out the conversation, and the nearby guests couldn't hear it at all.Liu Shuyu talked while mixing drinks, dancing.

Hu Pingtao knew that Hong Zongyuan held two trade lines of heroin and ice.But the specific ratio between purchase, production and sales is a secret that only the core of the company can know.Not to mention Liu Shuyu, I'm afraid even Jiang Tao is not very clear about this.

After thinking about it, Hu Pingtao pretended not to understand anything, and said with a smile: "Some time ago, the news said that several celebrities were arrested for taking drugs. Once this addiction comes up, even a god can't handle it." .I guess they have had a hard time in prison, and when they are released in a few years, I am afraid that they will not even have a human appearance."

Liu Shuyu put his arms around Hu Pingtao's shoulders, whispered in his ear, showing off on purpose: "Brother Heng, you don't know that. There is a big difference between fans and ice. Let me tell you, those celebrities who were arrested Most of them have never touched powder."

"Oh?" Of course Hu Pingtao knew the difference between heroin and ice cubes, but for the sake of cliche, he pretended to be ignorant and asked, "I haven't touched powder before, so is this still drug use?"

"Fans are different from ice." Liu Shuyu said: "Adopting fans is easy to become addicted, up to two times, and you can't quit at all."

"According to this, can you quit by smoking ice?" Hu Pingtao asked.

"I really don't know about this." Liu Shuyu shook his head: "But the number of addictions to ice must be more than that of fans. This is what Brother Zheng told me."

Hu Pingtao knew far more about drugs than Liu Shuyu.

The earliest drug was opium.In [-], Lin Zexu destroyed cigarettes in Humen, and what he destroyed was opium.At that time, the Qing government promulgated regulations to prohibit the sale of opium, but the prohibition continued repeatedly. Many people became addicted to opium after taking opium, and they became emaciated.

In fact, opium first appeared in front of the world as a medicine.It can relieve pain and is an excellent drug.Later, chemists isolated and extracted a biologically active component based on opium, and found that it had a stronger analgesic effect, which was morphine.

At that time, morphine was used for analgesia in many surgical operations, but it was soon discovered that morphine had a huge and terrifying addiction.

Some people think that morphine is less harmful to the human body than heroin, which is a joke at all.
