The train driver in the courtyard

After holding it in for three days, Zhou Zhigang finally couldn't help but look at Li Aiguo and asked after drinking two glasses of wine: "Aiguo, has the mouse been caught?"

"Caught him." Li Aiguo nodded.

At this time, Zhou Bingkun ran in from outside, listened half an ear, and asked curiously: "Dad, what kind of mouse was caught? Our school teacher said that every student must hand in two mouse tails, you should chop off the mouse tails quickly."

"What does a kid know? Go away. Your uncle Aiguo and I are drinking." Zhou Zhigang waved his hands at Zhou Bingkun.

Zhou Bingkun didn't leave. Instead, he came over mysteriously, blinked his big eyes and said, "Dad, you don't know yet, something big happened in our neighborhood!"

Zhou Zhigang thought that Zhang Caixia's affair had been known to others, and was shocked. He asked hurriedly, "What happened?"

Zhou Bingkun whispered, "The deputy director Ma from our neighborhood district was arrested. I saw him after school. His hands were tied with hemp ropes and he was put into a jeep by the police."

Zhou Zhigang was also shocked by the news. He was silent for a moment and said, "When Lao Ma was first transferred to Photon Film, he was a very nice person."

Li Suhua heard the news in the kitchen, dusted herself off, and said with a look of regret: "How could such a good person make such a mistake?"

Zhou Zhigang knew Li Aiguo's identity and looked up at him. "Aiguo, when Deputy Director Ma first came to the subdistrict office, he was quite active. How did he get arrested?"

Why else.

It must be because Deputy Director Ma protected those little hooligans. Li Aiguo complained in his heart and took a puff of cigarette, "People will change. People will inevitably have pursuits in their lives. With pursuits, there will be desires. With desires, there will be greed. With greed, mistakes will be made. Those who can control their desires are called human beings, and those who cannot control their desires are called beasts."

"Once you become a wild beast, it won't be long before you get shot."

"Your analysis is quite thorough," Zhou Zhigang said, his eyes swept across the faces of Zhou Bingkun, Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Bingkun, and said in a deep voice: "When you grow up, if you really take up leadership positions, you all must control your hands. If anyone dares to do something shameful, I will pretend that I have no children!"

Zhou Bingyi was silent for a moment and then nodded.

Zhou Rong's eyes were fixed on the plate of roast duck on the table, which Li Aiguo bought today to improve their lives.

Zhou Bingkun wiped his nose and said nonchalantly: "Dad, do you think I can be a leader?"

"."

Zhou Bingkun scored 60 points in the final exam last semester, which was the total score of two subjects. He doesn't like to study at all on weekdays, so how can he be a leader?
Zhou Zhigang was almost amused by him. He picked up his chopsticks and pointed at the roast duck: "It doesn't matter if you can't be a leader. Let's eat more and grow up."

According to the Zhou family’s custom, one duck leg was given to the guest and the other to Zhou Rong.

Li Aiguo felt sad when he saw Zhou Zhigang handing the duck leg to Zhou Rong.

Zhou Zhigang was a good person in every way, except that he doted on Zhou Rong too much. Zhou Rong later became extremely selfish, which was inseparable from him.

But this is the Zhou family’s business, and I, Li Aiguo, will not interfere.

After finishing his meal, he wiped his mouth, put on his canvas bag and went to the weather station.

Today is the eighth day of the interrogation. The interrogation of Zhao Laoshuan by Jichun Meteorological Station has still yielded no results. Director Bai and the three team leaders have been staying in the interrogation room all day.

I don’t know what Director Ma is busy with these two days. He stays in the office all day and makes phone calls.

Li Aiguo stayed in the office for a while and was about to go to the interrogation room to replace Director Bai when Director Ma suddenly notified everyone to go to the conference room for a meeting.

When he arrived at the meeting room, Li Aiguo realized that something was wrong.

Director Ma even called Director Bai and Team Leader Three, who were supposed to be staying up late.

Director Ma saw that everyone had arrived, so he stood up, closed the door, sat back in his chair, and said slowly, "The interrogation of Zhao Laoshuan has now reached a deadlock. It is estimated that it will be difficult to make a breakthrough for a long time."

Director Bai and Team Leader Three lowered their heads.

"I'm sorry, it's our job that's not good enough."

“Now is not the time to assign blame.”

Director Ma waved his hand at them and continued, "Although the Songhua Lake Park Management Office announced that Zhao Laoshuan was seriously ill and hospitalized, they could only conceal it for a short period of time. It was only a matter of time before the news leaked out.

At present, we have confirmed that there are more than one hundred people who have come into contact with Zhao Laoshuan in the past three years, and they all live in the Photon Block in Gongle District.

Let's discuss how to deal with this."

After the words were spoken, the conference room fell into silence.

Dieter may be among these more than 100 people, but if they are all captured, such a large-scale action will have a very bad impact on the masses.

If we just send someone to talk to them, it will easily arouse Dieter's vigilance. Not only will we fail to catch them, but we may also alert the enemy.

Seeing that no one said anything, Director Ma tapped the table with his fingers: "Be lenient with the enemy. There can be no more mistakes in this case. I have already made a promise in front of Comrade Farmer to clear out all the airborne rats."

Li Aiguo stood up and suggested: "Catch everyone in the film!"

"A big arrest in the whole film?! This has never been done before, isn't it too much?

If this case is discussed among the people, will it attract the attention of those Dieters and make them flee early?"

Director Ma was stunned by Li Aiguo's crazy idea.

If he hadn't known Li Aiguo's "battle record", he would have begun to suspect whether this guy did a special job and how could he not even know the most basic common sense.

Those who do special work must act covertly and must not make any big noise.

Director Bai and Team Leader Three also looked at Li Aiguo with surprise.

Under the dim light, Li Aiguo said in a deep voice: "Let's not arrest him in the name of arresting Dieter, so that won't attract Dieter's attention?"

This confused Director Ma and Director Bai.

Arresting more than a hundred people is no small operation and it will definitely cause a lot of uproar. Even if the names are not announced, the public will still be suspicious.

However, he did not ask questions immediately. Instead, he took a deep puff of his cigarette and stared at Li Aiguo.

Li Aiguo continued, "Aren't there a lot of hooligans in Gongle District? Our goal is to restore public order. Let the local comrades take the lead, and we will go a little slower."

After saying this, Director Bai slammed the table and said, "This is a good idea. People only know that we are catching the scoundrels. Even Dieter can't imagine that they are the real target. It can confuse Dieter and avoid causing panic. This is simply killing two birds with one stone."

"What a great way to cover up the truth!"

The three team leaders and several other leaders also raised their hands to express their approval.

"This matter is still too big. I need to report it to my superiors and discuss it with local comrades." Director Ma pondered for a moment and felt that Li Aiguo's plan was feasible.

He hurriedly announced the end of the meeting, returned to the office and contacted Beijing using a confidential phone.

Half an hour later, a call came from Beijing to an office in Jichun.

"Hey, I understand. Just go ahead and do it. We will fully cooperate with you."

It was already the morning of the next day when Li Aiguo learned that the plan had been approved.

The task force held another meeting.

In addition to Director Bai and three team leaders from the meteorological station, the participants of this meeting included Chief of Staff Chen, who was wearing the uniform of the local garrison, and Deputy Director Liu from the local public security department.

At the meeting, Director Ma held up the telegram from his superiors and said in a loud voice: "According to the order from the superiors, we will immediately gather the comrades of the garrison, Ji Chungong's department, and the comrades of the armed department to launch a secret and concentrated arrest operation in the Photon Film Zone at midnight tonight.

Arrest all the criminal suspects, bullies, fighters, gangsters, hooligans, speculators, and hooligans that we have currently identified.

"

After Director Ma finished speaking, Chief of Staff Chen and Deputy Director Liu of the public security department stood up and expressed their determination to fully cooperate in completing the tasks assigned by their superiors.

Director Bai added, "There is a gang called Nine Tigers and Thirteen Eagles. They commit murder and arson, and do all kinds of evil. Their crimes are extremely serious. If we don't kill them, it will not be enough to appease the public anger. We need to pay special attention to them."

This is to restore the situation for their own people. Li Aiguo actually admires Director Bai a little.

A hero with three gangs.

If you want help from others, you must first be able to protect them.

As a leader, if you can't even protect your own people, how can you expect your team to be combat-ready?

History has proven that anyone who tries to isolate himself and quibble over words will never have a good ending.

rectify!

rectify!

After the meeting.

Jichun started up like a huge machine.

Photon Film received orders from their superiors to report the names of all the hooligans and thugs in their jurisdiction.

Looking at the names on the list and the cases one by one, the comrades from Jichun looked grim.

They also knew that the security situation in Photon Film was not good, but they did not expect so many cases to have occurred there.

Comrades from the local garrison rode into the city on GAZ trucks.

For a moment, the atmosphere in Photon Film became tense, and some well-informed people had already smelled something wrong.

When Li Aiguo went back to eat at noon, Li Xiuhua kindly reminded him: "Aiguo, it seems that something is going to happen in Jichun. Otherwise, you should not attend the training this afternoon."

Zhou Bingkun often hangs out on the streets and is more informed than Li Suhua. He raised his head and said, "Mom, this has nothing to do with Uncle Aiguo. It's just that the street gangs are being arrested.

One afternoon, the street office staff investigated me several times and asked me if I had been bullied by gangsters.

Zhou Zhigang nodded and said, "Those hooligans should have been arrested long ago. Especially the hooligans in our film. I have heard that several girls have been harmed by them."

This is also one of the reasons why Li Aiguo proposed a large-scale arrest in the entire film.

Since we are here, we might as well clear out the evil spirits in the photon film.

Li Aiguo ate and drank his fill, returned to the house, changed into clean clothes, and said to Zhou Zhigang with a smile: "Brother Zhou, we have to work overtime for training tonight. It will probably be eleven or twelve o'clock when we finish the training, so we won't be back to sleep."

"You can come back at eleven or twelve o'clock. I heard that there are a lot of fleas in the dormitories in the maintenance section." Li Suhua stood up quickly.

After interacting with Li Aiguo for so many days, Li Suhua really treated this kid as his own younger brother.

On weekdays, Li Suhua helped Li Aiguo wash his dirty clothes.

Thinking of the list of hooligans in the neighborhood that had started to be compiled, Zhou Zhigang seemed to have thought of something. His face suddenly changed, but he quickly restrained his expression.

He held Li Suhua's arm and said, "I am not a child to be patriotic. I am a comrade from another place who came to study. I live in the student dormitory. How can there be fleas?"

After saying that, Zhou Zhigang nodded heavily at Li Aiguo: "Take care!"

"Do not worry."

Li Aiguo straightened his collar and walked out of the cramped and low house.

It's sunny outside.

******
More than a decade later, when the old photonic film workers read the news about the "severe crackdown" published in the newspapers, they would always recall this distant night.

Several middle-aged people who have personally experienced the crackdown on public security even said in surprise: "It turns out that the crackdown is a severe crackdown."

This action has been unforgettable for the entire Photon Slice community for decades, and is often brought up as a topic of conversation during dinner.

Jichun Meteorological Bureau became the temporary command center for the rectification operation.

When Li Aiguo arrived at the Meteorological Bureau, Director Chen was planning the evening's operations.

There are two teams. One is a large team composed of local public security departments and armed departments, led by Deputy Director Zhang.

Li Aiguo and Director Bai were sent over to take command so as not to affect the actions of the second team.

Li Aiguo understood that this was a request from the local authorities. After all, the scale of this operation was so large that local comrades were worried that something might go wrong.

If the work is guided by comrades from the meteorological department and the Beijing meteorological department, their responsibilities can be reduced if something goes wrong.

Director Ma was aware of the local departments’ intentions, but he did not blame them.

It is human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. Not everyone can rush towards the enemy position carrying a bag of explosives.

"Aiguo, Lao Bai, you must cooperate well with Director Zhang's work!"

"Don't worry."

"Director Ma, we promise to complete the task."

Li Aiguo and Director Bai expressed their views respectively.

The members of the second team were soldiers who had changed into the uniforms of local police, led by Director Ma and Deputy Chief of Staff Chen.

After assigning the tasks, Director Ma issued a death order to the two action teams, ordering them to arrest all the local thugs, hooligans and gangs in Photon Film and the surrounding suburbs, and to interrogate them overnight; no one with blood on their hands should be spared.

Li Aiguo received the task and went to the next meeting room to start the work of the first group.

Photon District is the largest district in Jichun, with five streets named "Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi and Xin", and tens of thousands of residents under its jurisdiction.

In order to ensure unified action, the arrest team was divided into five groups, each of which was composed of comrades from the public security bureau and the neighborhood.

Li Aiguo and Director Bai will go to the command vehicle in the evening to direct the arrest operation.

After discussing some details, Li Aiguo stood up and looked at the local comrades.

"Keep it a secret. Don't tell anyone the real purpose, including your relatives and friends. Whoever leaks the secret will go to jail!"

Deputy Director Zhang and the captains of the action teams stood up and expressed their opinions.

Li Aiguo added: "With us behind you, don't let go of any troublemakers that you dare not catch or are difficult to catch. But you must not retaliate and wrongly accuse good people."

As he spoke, his tone became serious.

"This action has been made public. If anyone dares to tamper with it..."

"Snapped!"

Li Aiguo pulled out his pistol and slammed it on the table.

"Then I'll treat him to peanuts!"

It has to be said that environment can change people.

Li Aiguo has worked at the weather station for so many days that he has already acquired the aura of those gray Zhongshan suits.

Compared with the mighty soldiers, this momentum is like being stared at by a poisonous snake, which is even more chilling.

The captains and block leaders couldn't help shivering when they saw the pistol emitting a cold light.

Half of the responsible persons who had ulterior motives completely gave up the idea at this moment.

Are you kidding? These guys started out as intelligence agents. What can’t they investigate?
If we try to deceive them now, wouldn't we be putting ourselves in danger?

It is human nature to fear power but not virtue.

This kind of thing can only be handled by local bosses like them, and it is not easy for those weather stations that are new here to interfere.

However, the quality of local tyrants is often uneven.

In order to complete the task, we have to use human nature to control these local tyrants, so that they can get the job done without causing trouble.

Director Bai was also worried about this problem. When he saw Li Aiguo's solution, he nodded in admiration.

If we want to carry out a large-scale operation, we still need to do a good job of preparation.

In order to prevent leaks, the time limit is set quite tight.

Fortunately, the level of this rectification operation is particularly high, and under the attention of superiors, all the resources of the entire city have been mobilized.

Following the order from the task force, local department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives opened their warehouses.

Battery-powered flashlights and hemp ropes were all brought out.

Jeeps, trucks and even buses from various units in Jichun City were also gathered.

In the evening, the setting sun in the sky was as red as blood, and the entire photon sheet was reflected in red.

There was really a whistling wind, rolling cars, and submachine guns in hands!

Night falls.

Photon film Guangren Street Sub-district Office.

Teams were ready to go, and the headlights made the yard brighter than in the daytime.

There were five teams composed of comrades from the police station, the armed forces department, and the local street office, with a total of more than 500 people. They were standing in the yard in silence. They were all listening to the calls of Li Aiguo, the commander-in-chief of the operation, who was standing on the steps.

"The list has been distributed to every captain and person in charge. Arrest people according to the list. If you encounter resistance, you can just shoot them. Finally, I emphasize again that you must not disturb the residents of the neighborhood!"

The sound of thunder echoed at the scene, and everyone's face became serious.

"I command now!"

After Li Aiguo shouted the order, everyone looked at him seriously, waiting for the follow-up orders to be issued.

"Everyone assemble according to your assigned teams!"

"Yes!"

"Start the roll call now!"

"

I saw a Guangren Street subdistrict office director running up and shouting loudly: "Team one, Guangren Street, neighborhood soy sauce factory."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen street office staff, dozens of public security comrades and armed forces comrades automatically ran out from the crowd.

As the first team finished gathering, the Guangxin Street cadres ran to the right of the first team and stood there, shouting loudly: "Team Two, Guangxin Street, Wood Processing and Renovation Factory!"

Once again, more than a dozen street office officials and five public security comrades automatically ran out from the crowd.

"set off!"

As all five action teams gathered, the street office official who led the team announced the start of the action.

These people got on the GAZ trucks waiting at the door in order, and the vehicles drove out of the street office gate and headed towards their respective districts.

As teams gathered and set off, the number of people in the compound decreased, until only a dozen members of the special operations team responsible for support remained in the compound.

Li Aiguo then said to the team members: "As the reserve force, we must be ready to provide support at any time."

"Yes"

These team members were comrades carefully selected from the police stations in each jurisdiction. They acted decisively and quickly. After receiving the order, they all got on the trucks, tricycles and command vehicles parked at the door.

The command vehicle was converted from an old bus provided by Jichun Long-distance Passenger Transport Company, and the seats have been removed.

The vehicle is equipped with high-power radio equipment provided by the local garrison department.

There are a total of six command vehicles like this. In addition to the general command vehicle, the remaining five command vehicles follow the five action teams so that they can keep in touch with the general command vehicle at any time.

When Li Aiguo saw Director Chen Chengnan of Guangren Street Office trying to get on the car with a rifle in his hand, he hurriedly stopped him in front of the car door and said, "Director Chen, your mission for tonight's operation is to stay behind at the Street Office."

"Commander-in-chief, I also want to contribute." Director Chen looked a little ugly.

He knew better than anyone that the reason why his superiors took such a large-scale rectification action in Photon Film was inseparable from the incident in which Deputy Director Ma of the Street Office deliberately protected gangsters a while ago.

As the director of the subdistrict office, he believes that he should bear leadership responsibility.

Seeing Chen Chengnan's insistence, Li Aiguo explained, "We will also interrogate those who were captured later. This is also an important task!"

"All right!"

Chen Chengnan felt relieved when he knew that Li Aiguo did not look at the Guangren Street Sub-district Office with tinted glasses.

At this time, the command vehicle was started. In order to facilitate command and support, the command vehicle and several GAZ trucks stopped at the intersection of Guangren Street and Guangyi Street.

pat.

Li Aiguo turned on the radio communication equipment and began to debug the equipment.

"Zizzizizi!"

Li Aiguo tuned the frequency to the first team's frequency and called into the microphone: "Hello, hello, this is the command center. Has the No. 1 communication vehicle arrived at the designated location?"

After a moment, a crackling sound was heard in the receiver, and then the voice became clear.

"Communication vehicle No. 1 has arrived. The comrades of the first action team have already got off the vehicle and are currently carrying out the operation! Communication vehicle No. 1 has reported. Please give instructions!"

"Received, carry out the mission according to the plan!"

"Roger that!"

After Li Aiguo hung up, he readjusted the frequency, picked up the microphone and started calling: "Hello, hello, this is the command center, has the No. 2 communication vehicle arrived at the designated location?"

"."

After contacting the five action teams and making sure that all the teams had launched their actions, Li Aiguo leaned back in his chair and smoked a cigarette.

Now all the teams have been deployed. We have to wait for another hour or so until everything becomes chaotic before Director Chen from the weather station and his team can take action.

"Oh, that's really boring. I thought we were going to participate in the arrest operation tonight as well."

The three team leaders seemed a little depressed after learning that their mission was to stay behind in the command vehicle and answer the radio.

"Luckily I brought my submachine gun with me." Team leader Three said as he took out a Type 7.62 mm submachine gun from a box.

She touched the submachine gun and looked up at Li Aiguo: "Did you decide not to participate in the arrest operation a long time ago, so you deliberately didn't bring any weapons?"

“You are really wrong.”

Li Aiguo lifted the hem of his clothes and showed his service pistol to the third team leader.

"hiss"

The third team leader looked at the exquisitely crafted golden gun and his eyes widened: "It's made of pure gold?"

Then, she frowned again and touched her chin: "No, gold is relatively soft. Even if it is made into a pistol, it will not be as useful as an ordinary pistol."

Li Aiguo pulled out the golden gun and played with it for a few times, then said in a deep voice: "The pistol is used to shock and intimidate the enemy. From this perspective, no gun can compare to this golden gun."

The third team leader looked at the pretentious Li Aiguo and wanted to refute.

But she couldn't find a reason.

After all, facing a guy with a golden gun, even a young and inexperienced person like her would have to think twice before acting.

From this perspective, the golden gun is indeed better than ordinary pistols.
