Tiger Police

Chapter 412 Old Case

Liao Qiu interrupted him: "This matter is very complicated. There are several old cases that have been going on for many years... How about it, are you busy now?"

Hu Pingtao quickly replied: "It's okay. There are too many people in the institute now, so there's nothing to do for the time being."

"I'm here with Old Shi from the Economic Investigation Team of the sub-bureau." Liao Qiu said, "Shi Hongwei, captain of the Economic Investigation Team, you met last time at dinner."

Hu Pingtao said: "I remember Brother Shi. He is quite nice."

Liao Qiu continued: "You arrange the work in hand, now come to the Economic Investigation Team, we are waiting for you."

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Okay, then I'll rush there as soon as possible."

……

Half an hour later, Hu Pingtao walked into the office of the economic investigation team of the sub-bureau, and saw Liao Qiu sitting on the sofa opposite, and Shi Hongwei next to him.

The three of them walked out of the office and entered the small conference room next to them.

Liao Qiu held a thick stack of documents in his hand, he put them on the coffee table, pushed them to Hu Pingtao who was pulling a chair and sat down: "Here, I will find out these documents for you after the phone call. All of these are Xixi Village cases, and the cause is all about money and usury."

Hu Pingtao was frightened by this sentence—the case file in front of him was more than one meter high, let alone carefully read it, even if it was casually flipped through, it would take at least one or two hours.

He quickly sat down on the chair and asked curiously, "Brother Liao, what's going on?"

Before Liao Qiu could speak, Shi Hongwei put a cup of hot tea in front of Hu Pingtao, and said with a smile, "Drink first, don't worry, let's talk slowly."

Hu Pingtao took the teacup, looked up at Shi Hongwei, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Shi, what do you mean by what you said, you already knew about the things in Xixi Village?"

Shi Hongwei smiled and raised his finger to Liao Qiu and said, "Lao Liao, you used to be the director over Eryuan Road, and Xiaohu came late, so you should introduce him to the situation!"

Liao Qiu was not hypocritical. He picked up the kraft paper file placed on the top, untied the tether, took out the documents contained in it, handed it to Hu Pingtao, and said seriously: "The Lujiazui place in Shanghai, you should you know?"

Hu Pingtao was stunned.This issue obviously has nothing to do with the case of the Wang family and his son in Xixi Village.After hesitating for a moment, he nodded: "I know."

Liao Qiu seemed to be thirsty, picked up the teacup and drank several mouthfuls, wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and continued: "The transformation of Lujiazui was very successful, and it has also strongly stimulated other cities. Whether it is the transformation of the old city, or Urban management provides a good idea and example.”

"Many relocation projects in our provincial capital started at that time. To some extent, it can be regarded as following the trend, and many problems have arisen. Especially the scale of demolition and subsequent resettlement of residents, as well as the use and sale of land, etc. There's a disproportionate difference."

"Xiaochong Village is just sandwiched between the old bus station and the bus company, as well as the material area of ​​the rolling mill, all in that area. The province issued a document in [-], and the city took it as a pilot. In the second year, That is to say, the demolition project was launched in [-], all the units were relocated, and the area was re-planned to become an important hub of the second and even the third ring.”

"The passenger station and the bus company were the first units to move away. The government gave them a piece of land each. The passenger station was allocated to the eastern hub of the third ring road, and the bus company was allocated to the north, connecting with maintenance workshops, warehouses, parking lots, and additional land. A piece of land was given, and they were asked to raise funds internally to build houses and solve the problem of staff accommodation."

"The steel rolling mill has been fully restructured. Except for a few old factory buildings that cannot be dismantled with abandoned equipment, they will be handed over to relevant companies for transformation and converted into theme parks. The rest of the land will be bulldozed and used as real estate projects."

"The location of Xiaochong Village is very special, and it is also an important pilot site in the city, so another piece of land was given outside the second ring road, and the developer took the lead to build relocation houses according to the specified area. In addition, every household In accordance with the policy at the time, they were compensated with high demolition funds.”

"Let's put it this way! At that time, there were 120 seven households in Xiaochong Village, and each family received a compensation of no less than 10 yuan in addition to the resettlement housing with a certain area."

"Think about it, this is 10 yuan in 1000! I just graduated from the police academy at that time, and I just joined the job, and my monthly salary was only about [-] yuan. After I became a regular, I finally got more than [-] yuan."

Hu Pingtao was deeply touched by this: "Yes! In [-], this was indeed a large sum of money, enough to buy a nice house."

Liao Qiu smiled faintly: "The villagers in Xiaochong Village have no shortage of houses. At that time, housing prices were not as high as they are now, and many villagers chose to relocate houses with only half the quantity and fixed area, and the excess part was made up in the form of currency. Come on, many people in the village have received more than three times the compensation. That is, a 30-square-meter relocation house, plus about [-] compensation."

"With more money in the pocket, people's thinking will change. The idea of ​​working hard and honestly is gone. All day long, I think about how to spend money, have fun, comfort myself, and spend time and wine."

"The whole atmosphere in Xiaochong Village was very impetuous at that time. Especially after the relocation, according to the rules of the village, moving to a new house is a big event, so every family held a big feast and made a fuss for more than a week, making it a mess."

"At that time, I was a household registration policeman at the Eryuan Road Police Station. I watched them buy firecrackers every household. At first, it was [-] rings, then it became [-], and then it was [-]... Anyway, it’s just comparisons, you There are a lot of bombs at home, and mine bombs even more. Firecrackers alone are not enough, and I also bought boxes of "rising" and made a special wooden clip. It is five meters long on the ground, with slots on it, and the "Scale up" is inserted obliquely, dozens or hundreds of them at a time, strung together with medicine wires alone, and ignited together with firecrackers, exploding here and ringing there, making it even more lively than New Year's Eve."

"The feast in the village pays attention to eating as you come. But everyone has moved to a new house, and every family is the same, so the running water banquet is boring. I don't know who started it. I went to the mall and ordered a lot of gift boxes. Give one. At the beginning, the gifts were just fruits and pastries, but later they became cigarettes and alcohol, and the grades are getting higher and higher.”

Hu Pingtao shook his head: "Just to show off? Do you think you have money in your pocket?"

Liao Qiu sighed: "The old saying is good, woe to people who are crazy! The villagers in Xiaochong Village quickly attracted the attention of outsiders."

"On the third day after the whole village was relocated, many vacant houses near the community were rented out, and tea rooms and mahjong parlors were opened."

"People are staring at the banknotes in their pockets. Although the laws of our country do not prohibit playing mahjong, everyone knows that there must be winners and losers in playing mahjong. If I were the operator of the mahjong parlor, I would be happy that people nearby come to visit every day Business!"

"The income of mahjong parlors and tea rooms comes from the commission of each game. This is a legal operation to a certain extent. But if someone is eyeing it, it will be different."

Hu Pingtao understood this as soon as he heard it: "Brother Liao, you mean, there was someone running an underground casino in Xiaochong Village at that time?"

Liao Qiu nodded: "It's mainly pushing Pai Gow and picking pickles. The ante is 10,000, and the winning or losing in one night can be tens of thousands, and sometimes [-]+. Sometimes when I think about it, I think these people are really Damn, that's [-]! Isn't it good for you to use this money to do something casually? As long as you are willing to invest, you can basically make money. But those villagers would rather throw money on the gambling table than do something what?"

"Gambling must be hidden from the police. If you don't play during the day, you will sneak out like a night owl at night. At that time, the police station had insufficient police force, and it was not possible to recruit auxiliary police like it is now. The jurisdiction area is large, and it is impossible to concentrate all attention. Somewhere, so the problem in Xiaochong Village was ignored...until later, people were killed."

As he said that, Liao Qiu pointed to the file on the table: "The fourth file from the bottom. There are three members of the family, and the father is an honest man, but his wife likes to play mahjong, and she usually has a bad reputation in the village. Right and wrong, it is said that he has had affairs with several men... Although it is a rumor, people in the village usually don't talk about it, especially when it comes to men and women."

"That woman often went to underground casinos, and it is said that she got involved with the two men who watched the game. Later, she lost 10,000+ in Pai Gow. She wanted to make money, so she stole the family's house book without telling her husband. , Mortgaged to usury, borrowed a sum of money."

"She was playing a game of winning or losing that night, and she cut off a finger specially for it. This is the rule in the underworld in the past: no matter whether it is rolling dice, Pai Gow, stud or Zhajinhua, as long as the bet exceeds 10 yuan, The party that wants to win the book, in addition to having to put out enough bets, has to cut off a finger and put it on the table in front of everyone, this is called blood town."

It was the first time Hu Pingtao had heard of such a thing, and he asked in surprise: "It's normal for a loser to want to recover. But why cut off his fingers?"

Shi Hongwei was listening all the time, and interjected to explain: "This was the practice before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Cutting your fingers means that you don't have any extra things. The rules before are very different from those now. I have read related documents: Cutting hands at that time It means that at the gaming table, it can be worth 50 silver dollars, and in some places it can even be worth [-]. If the gambler can’t come up with the money, and he loses in cutting his finger, it is equivalent to selling himself to the casino and letting others pay for it. Decide your life or death."

"In the past, there were a group of people who "worked hard" in the casinos. The rules were passed down from Beijing and Tianjin. The gangsters, also known as the underworld. Generally speaking, common disputes are that casinos look at each other. It's not pleasing to the eye, and you want to annex the other party and make yourself bigger. When encountering this kind of situation, you definitely can't call the police, and it's not worthwhile for the two parties to make an appointment to fight. After all, there must be casualties in a fight, and in the end, it will be an excuse for the police station. So the fight has become a competition between the two sides."

"People on your side cut off a finger, and those on my side use a knife to cut off a large piece of flesh from an arm or thigh. You use an ax to chop off half of your foot, and those on my side just chop off your hands. "

"There will be more outrageous things in the future, and they will directly kill people in the arena."

"It's all a matter of the old society, and it definitely won't work now. The woman cut her fingers to hold the table, so that everyone present can bear witness and prevent the casino from losing. On the other hand, she was also forced to go to nowhere. , I want to give my all to fight. This kind of behavior shows that everything is voluntary and has nothing to do with others."

Hu Pingtao looked at the thick pile of case files, frowned and asked, "In the end, she still lost?"

Liao Qiu nodded: "I lost, it was a real bankruptcy. That woman left the casino that night to go home, while her husband was asleep, she opened her mouth, poured a small bottle of pesticide, and then covered her daughter alive with a pillow Die, she herself drank the pesticide in the end... the family of three just disappeared."

"The casino got the news very early, and when we launched an investigation the next day, we only caught a few peripheral members."

Shi Hongwei explained: "These people who run underground casinos are very shrewd. Whether renting a house or setting up a game, they have a clear goal and run away as long as they get the money. And these people are very shady... That woman played dice that night, the casino must They were tampered with. We later investigated and dealt with several cases, all of which were electromagnetic gambling tables. Usually the dice look very ordinary, but once the magnet block installed at the bottom of the table is activated, you can control as many points as you want.”

Liao Qiu said seriously: "Since then, we have included this underground gambling gang in the scope of key investigations. In recent years, the government has engaged in real estate development, many villages in the city have been relocated, and underground casinos abound. The inflated psychology of the villagers after getting rich overnight set up a trap near the relocated residential areas."

"In [-], we captured the leader of this underground gambling gang." As he spoke, Liao Qiu took out a document from under the file and handed it to Hu Pingtao.

On the paper was a printed photo: male, in his 40s, smiling, square-faced.

Liao Qiu explained: "This man's name is Bian Kai. His surname is Bian, a rare surname. Because this case is under the key monitoring of the provincial department, and there are a series of other involvements, I won't say much, just give you a brief introduction." This person——Because our Yunnan Province is located in the southwest, it has always been an economically and culturally backward area. Bian Kai is very ambitious. He wants to make his business bigger and stronger with the provincial capital as the core. .”

Hu Pingtao was amused when he heard it: "To become bigger and stronger? Is he trying to clean up his crimes? He wants to turn underground casinos into legitimate businesses?"

Liao Qiu also smiled: "You have to understand. In the early years, our country's laws were far less perfect than they are now, and many people took advantage of loopholes. People like Bian Kai have been on the road for a long time, and people from all walks of life know each other. , he also has money in his hands. After a long time, calling each other brothers and complimenting each other, and the fact that he has been going smoothly in those years, he has an illusion that there is nowhere to go in the world, and there is nothing to do in the world .There are a lot of kings who look down on everything and think that I am the only one."
