Chapter 526 Luxury Cars
Hu Pingtao laughed and said, "You think too much."

Tan Tao didn't delve into this issue, and asked, "Are you really planning to seek leniency for Zhang Xingwen?"

Hu Pingtao lit a cigarette and said slowly: "He's not the kind of person who commits treachery and evil. He's just lazy... To be honest, his parents are very responsible for this. As the saying goes: If you don't teach, it's my father's fault!"

"We don't become policemen to arrest people. Prisons don't accept everyone. If you have to make a small mistake, the prison will not be closed long ago."

"Fifty thousand is not a small number, but as long as Zhang Xingwen is willing to cooperate and take the initiative to return the spoils, within the scope permitted by laws and policies, I think it will be lenient if possible!"

"You saw it when you arrested him in the morning. How old is his child! If the father is locked up in prison for ten or eight years, what will the child be like after he comes out?"

"Although there are old people in his family, what does Zhang Xingwen look like? Can his wife take care of his grandson?"

"And his daughter-in-law, she is good-looking and pretty. But according to Zhang Xingwen, she is also a lazy person. The two of them cooperated in the case of the vegetable market, but Zhang Xingwen is quite a decent person. He took all responsibilities Take it on yourself, even his wife's share."

"If both husband and wife go in, what will happen to the child?"

"When they come out ten years later, there is a high probability that there will be an unhealthy youth with a strong tendency to commit crimes in society."

Tan Tao nodded slowly: "You mean... As long as Zhang Xingwen can take the initiative to return the spoils, he will be punished lightly?"

"If you go in, you must go in. Only in it can he receive education." Hu Pingtao explained: "One to two years to count! The premise is that the stolen goods must be returned. Although he is a repeat offender, the amount of money involved in the previous case was not large, and Counterfeiting QR codes is a bit difficult to define at present. The main reason is that there is a gap in our country's laws in this regard."

"Let him reform in prison and try to reduce his sentence. When he comes out, the situation will be different."

"At least it serves as a warning to his children."

……

At about eight o'clock in the evening, I received a call to the police.

Hengxiang Building is strictly a small business district.The main building on the design drawing is as high as [-] floors, of which the first to fifth floors are commercial centers, and the sixth floor and above are office areas, which are commonly known as office buildings.

According to the location mentioned by the caller on the phone, Hu Pingtao took Long Xu and Cui Wen to Lingjiao Street.It is located on the east side of Hengxiang Building, which does not belong to the main traffic road.

Strictly speaking, this area is a construction zone.However, because Hengxiang Building and the real estate "Xinyue Garden" under construction across the road belong to two developers, each is responsible for one piece, with Lingjiao Street in the middle as the boundary.

This situation is very common.

The road needs to be dug up for infrastructure construction. There are no street lights in this area, so we can only borrow light from the lighting equipment on both sides of the construction site.The nearby residents have already moved away, especially at night, and pedestrians are rarely seen in the streets and alleys.

In the wind and dust, a tall and thin middle-aged woman stood by the side of the road.Seeing a police electric car with a blue and white logo appearing at the intersection from a distance, she trotted to meet it.

"You guys are finally here." She spoke with a crying tone: "You must help me."

Hu Pingtao tried his best to make his voice gentle: "Don't worry, speak slowly, what happened?"

The woman cried and pointed sideways towards the direction she came from: "My car... woo... My car was buried by them with cement."

"What?" Hu Pingtao didn't react immediately: "The car was buried in cement?"

The woman sobbed and said, "Come and see!"

Hu Pingtao and the other three followed her.

A black "Magotan" was parked on the curb, just covering the entire sidewalk.The sleek and beautiful body has been dumped with a lot of gray cement, mixed with a lot of garbage.There are empty lunch boxes, rotten fruits, broken plastic bags, chopsticks, waste paper, old shoes... The most exaggerated thing is that there is also a pair of flesh-colored torn stockings that floated from nowhere. The long tubes are probably wrapped in cement , dragging out half a meter of rags, fluttering in the night wind.

This was the first time Hu Pingtao encountered such a situation.He stood on the side of the road and just watched it like this, a little dazed in his mind, and a little amused.

He pointed at the dirty car body, and asked the woman suspiciously, "Is this your car?"

The woman nodded, couldn't bear it anymore, and burst into tears.

Hu Pingtao and the other three big men also felt embarrassed by this crying, and took turns to persuade them.

She cried and said.

The woman's name is Jiang Jing.

"I came to work around here at noon, because there was no place to park there. I searched and found that it was still empty, so I parked my car here. But who knows that when I come back at night, the car... the car will be like this .”

"I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the car! Now it's all over."

"Comrade police, you must help me find the person who broke the car."

Although she was crying all the time, her voice was quite clear and her meaning was very accurate.

Hu Pingtao listened to her patiently, and asked suspiciously: "There are construction sites on both sides of this place, and people rarely come here. How did you think of parking your car here?"

"I..." Jiang Jing said hesitantly, "I didn't think to park in this place, but I can't find a parking space where I'm going!"

Hu Pingtao frowned and asked: "Just now you said that you came here to do business. Where is it and what do you do?"

Jiang Jing hesitated for a moment, and replied: "I went to Wenyuan Road Community to help my mother get medical insurance. The delay was a bit long. The open space over there was full of cars. I couldn't get in, so I had to find another place."

"Wenyuan Road Community?" Hu Pingtao thought for a while, and asked strangely: "It's more than a kilometer away from here, isn't it too far for you to park?"

When Jiang Jing heard this, she cried again, and said sobbingly: "I...I have to find a place to park the car before I can go to work! I know I have to go a long way, but I really can't help it. If the community If there is a parking space, I will definitely put the car there!"

"You wait first." Hu Pingtao is very familiar with the surrounding situation. Although the Wenyuan Road community is not under the jurisdiction of the Eryuan Road Police Station, they are all in the Gudu District: "I remember that the courtyard at the Wenyuan Community is very spacious, and there are two There are two large parking lots. One is underground in the Science and Technology Building, with three floors, and there are plenty of parking spaces; the other is in the Railway Home Community, about 300 meters away from Wenyuan Community, and it is also an underground parking lot.”

After hearing this, Cui Wen nodded again and again: "I've been there before, and the two parking lots combined can fully meet the normal needs. Especially the Science and Technology Building, even on weekends and holidays, as long as you drive the car to the third basement floor, you can always Find a parking spot."

Hu Pingtao glanced at Jiang Jing, who was obviously flustered: "There is something wrong with what you said. Even if you want to find a place to park, you shouldn't run so far."

Jiang Jing swallowed hard, her voice was a little dry: "...I, I didn't talk nonsense! Anyway, my car is parked here, and I don't know who used cement to dirty it. This...is always the truth !"

What she said made some sense—the car was parked on the side of the road, and now the body is full of cement and garbage.

Hu Pingtao thought for a while, asked Cui Wen to drive the police electric car over, and asked Long Xu to take Jiang Jing into the car.

"Let me help you ask nearby!" He explained to Jiang Jing: "Since you have called the police, we must solve the problem. There are construction sites nearby. Although it is late, there must be someone on duty. Maybe they Know exactly what's going on."

Jiang Jing nodded silently.

The electric car drove forward for more than 200 meters, there was a fork on the left side of the road, and a door opened in the middle of the blue fence.Through the light shining from a distance, you can see that there is a duty room inside, with the sign of "Provincial Sanjian" hanging on it.

Hu Pingtao got out of the car and walked into the room.

There were three people inside: a middle-aged man in a security uniform and glasses looking down at the drawings, and a young man sitting on a bench, eating a bucket of braised beef instant noodles in his hand.

They coincidentally focused their attention on Hu Pingtao.

The middle-aged man wearing glasses straightened up, put down the blueprint in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"

Hu Pingtao took out his ID, waved it in front of everyone, and said seriously: "I am from the Eryuan Road Police Station, who is in charge here?"

The security guard and the young man looked at the middle-aged man subconsciously.

He hesitated for a moment, did not answer Hu Pingtao's question, and asked instead: "...you... what's the matter?"

The deterrent effect of police uniforms is still very strong.

Hu Pingtao smiled and said in a gentle tone, "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to find out about the situation."

"Outside your construction site, near the southern intersection, there is a Magotan standing on the side of the road. The car was dirty with cement and dumped a lot of garbage. Do you know who did it?"

The young man who was eating noodles reacted quickly and laughed out loud when he heard it: "Hahahaha, you are talking about that car! It deserves it..."

"Li Xiaolei! What are you doing?" The middle-aged man with glasses suddenly interrupted him: "Eat your face, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb."

Li Xiaolei was obviously very afraid of the middle-aged man, he shrank his neck, picked up the noodles with chopsticks and put them into his mouth, chewing.

Even a fool can see that there is a problem.

Hu Pingtao walked into the room, Long Xu followed behind.Hu Pingtao pondered for a moment, first looked at Li Xiaolei who was buried in eating noodles, and then his eyes shifted to the silent middle-aged man in glasses.

"What's your name?" He asked proactively.

"What are you going to do?" The middle-aged man was full of vigilance.

Hu Pingtao's tone became a little indifferent, with an unquestionable majesty: "Someone called to complain, and we are here to resolve the dispute. According to national laws, we have the right to ask to see your ID card and verify your personal information at the same time. .”

"If you refuse to cooperate with our investigation, then I can only take you back to the police station for processing in accordance with relevant regulations, and at the same time report the situation to your unit leader."

When the middle-aged man with glasses heard this, his expression changed suddenly.He frowned and fell into thought for half a minute.

"...My name is Xiao Bosheng." He took out his ID card from his pocket and handed it over reluctantly.

Hu Pingtao opened the notebook as usual, compared the information on the ID card, and authenticated and registered.

When returning the ID card to the other party, Hu Pingtao said meaningfully: "Why, you are not a local?"

Xiao Bosheng replied indifferently: "As engineers, we always go wherever there is work. If we really want to settle down, at least it will be after retirement."

"Xiao Bosheng." Hu Pingtao said with a smile, "This name is very interesting. There is a Bai Xiaosheng in Gu Long's novel. Just reverse these three characters and you will..."

Li Xiaolei was quick to talk, and couldn't help interrupting Hu Pingtao again, laughing loudly: "Yes! Everyone in our unit calls Manager Xiao "Bai Xiaosheng". It’s just that Brother Xiao has been in the construction industry for a long time, and everyone admires him very much, and usually listens to his arrangements.”

Hu Pingtao didn't mention the "Magotan" outside again. He walked a few steps forward and asked with interest: "Why are you still not resting so late? Are you working overtime?"

Xiao Baisheng's mind-changing speed was very fast. He had already adjusted his mentality and eliminated most of the hostility towards Hu Pingtao.

After all, the other party is a policeman, and what Hu Pingtao said before is well-founded.

"It's not overtime, it's normal duty." Xiao Baisheng explained in a normal tone: "Actually, it's not a big deal, just to see if there are any detailed problems on the drawings, and then there are consumables and manual deployment."

Hearing this, Long Xu approached Hu Pingtao's ear, and asked in a low voice: "How about I go out and call Xiao Cui and that woman...Jiang Jing?"

Without thinking about it, Hu Pingtao shook his head and said, "It's not necessary for now."

Long Xu asked without knowing it: "But that car..."

Hu Pingtao turned his head and explained in the same soft voice: "It's useless to ask now. If that woman comes, I think things will get worse."

Long Xu frowned: "Why?"

Hu Pingtao replied casually: "You will know later."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Xiao Baisheng who was standing opposite, and said with a loud smile: "The scale of your project is quite large! I think the whole street outside is under your control?"

A trace of imperceptible complexity flashed across Xiao Bosheng's eyes.

This is a normal question, and you must answer it yourself.

"This is a public street, we may have jurisdiction?" He quickly adjusted his mentality and thoughts, squeezed a smile on his face, and said seriously: "We are constructing here, the Hengxiang Building for the specific project. If you want to know For more information, call our company office after [-] o'clock tomorrow, or find the relevant person in charge."

Hu Pingtao raised his finger to Li Xiaolei who was eating noodles: "Didn't he just call you "Manager"? You should also be in charge, right?"

These words directly pushed Xiao Bosheng to the edge of a cliff, even if he wanted to deny it.

"...It's okay!" He looked a little embarrassed: "I don't have many people in charge, and I usually help to look at the drawings and manage some materials."
