Chapter 5 chapter Five

From a distance, Ma Shan saw the door of Zhou Changjiang's residence opened, and a bright light poured out from the door like water, and then Zhou Changjiang came out, dressed in black leather, like a bear.He looked around while putting on his gloves.Someone shut the door in the house.There is a Suzuki King motorcycle outside the house. Ma Shan knows it belongs to Zhou Changjiang himself. It shows that Zhou Changjiang is in the house, so Ma Shan keeps watch in a remote place based on this. From morning to now, he has been squatting for nearly ten hours . Another Suzuki King motorcycle squatted like him, which he borrowed from He Shuqiang, the owner of the "Ziqiang" motorcycle repair shop.He Shuqiang is Ma Shan's comrade-in-arms. Thirteen years ago, Zhou Changjiang's brother Zhou Huanghe died less than a month ago. He stepped on a landmine planted by the enemy. The war left him a life, but his man was gone. root.He returned to the town in pain or worse than death, and lived miserably amidst people's sympathy, ridicule and forgetfulness.Later, Ma Shan’s encouragement and support helped him raise funds to open a motorcycle repair shop.After the opening of the repair shop, there was a lot of noise in front of the door. Ma Shan met with almost all motorcycle owners in Ximen Town, mobilized and advised them that once a motorcycle broke down, they should take it to the "Ziqiang" motorcycle repair shop for repairs, so that everyone thought "Ziqiang" is actually Ma Shan's shop, He Shuqiang is just an agent, and Ma Shan is the real master.

It is precisely because of this understanding that people send motorcycles to "Ziqiang" for repairs, just like looking at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face.However, only He Shuqiang knew best that Ma Shan never took a penny from the store.In this town, he is the only one who knows everything about Ma Shan.So when Ma Shan asked him to borrow a motorcycle for the first time, he rolled out the best bike. "Suzuki King", one of the few famous cars in Ximen Town.He Shuqiang said that this was a new car he bought himself, so he asked Ma Shan to use it.

Now, Zhou Changjiang stepped on his "Suzuki King", and at the same time, Ma Shan also stepped on He Shuqiang's "Suzuki King".The two famous cars are like two horses, respectively carrying two brave men in Ximen Town, specifically a man who dares to make money and a man who dares to risk his life.Two men one behind the other, or one in the light and the other in the dark, are moving on the same path and direction far apart. It was a cold windy night. After leaving Ximen Town, Ma Shan could only see a headlight flickering ahead like a will-o'-the-wisp.Although he couldn't see Zhou Changjiang, he knew that Zhou Changjiang was behind the headlights, like a director behind the scenes.He also couldn't hear the sound of the motorcycle engine in front, so the sound of the motorcycle engine behind him couldn't be heard from the front, and it was headwind now.But Ma Shan couldn't turn on the lights anyway, he was afraid that Zhou Changjiang would know that someone was following him.He can only drive in the dark, a skill he honed as a policeman.

Then the headlights went out, or disappeared, as brighter lights appeared ahead and drowned them out like a river into a stream.Ma Shan was attracted by the bright lights ahead, or felt surprised.This place is far away from the town, and is not close to the village, yet there are lights like the village, to be precise, like the barracks and the school? !This is where?Ma Shan looks at the bright future in the dark, like watching a mirage in the desert. At this time, a strong smell of cigarettes rushed into Ma Shan's nostrils and lungs, like a biting wind.The keen Ma Shan was immediately aware that this is a place where famous and fake cigarettes are produced!He pushed the motorcycle over to a ridge or a grave, tipped over and approached the light.

This used to be a camp of the army. The army withdrew many years ago and changed it to a cadre school and then an agricultural school.The agricultural school could no longer be run, so it was changed to a pig farm. In 1975, there was a severe drought, no crops were harvested, the pig farm went bankrupt, and all the wooden tiles, doors and beams were dismantled and sold, leaving only the walls.Unexpectedly, many years later, someone rebuilt the place and set up a factory.Ma Shan has never been here, but he is aware of the changes here, except that it has now become a factory producing counterfeit cigarettes.The reason why he hadn't been here was because it was beyond the boundaries of Ximen Town.To the west of it is Ximen Town, to the east is Dongmen Town, and to the north is Beishan Township. If you draw a line or understand it, it is the "Golden Triangle". Ma Shan immediately thinks of the poppy-filled land on the border between China, Myanmar and Thailand. Land, and as if immersive.

He sneaked into the factory, like a cat into the forest, and an official into a thief ship.He hid behind box after box of "Hongtashan", "Ashima" and "Hongmei" cigarettes piled up like mountains, not daring to expose his body.But his eyes could be seen through the cracks of the cigarette box, and fell on the cigarette rolling machine and the man who operated the machine. He saw three people he knew: Zhou Changjiang, Liang Qingtian and Tian Xiaoren.They patrol the factory building and give pointers to the workers in the operation, just like officials at the grassroots level or enterprises to inspect and guide the work.Among the three, Tian Xiaoren seemed to have the highest authority, because he was in the middle, Zhou Changjiang and Liang Qingtian were around him, and they spoke to him from time to time, as if giving reports.

Liang Qingtian, Liang Qingtian, how can you get involved with these guys!Ma Shan complained to his brother-in-law in his heart, do you know that making counterfeit cigarettes is illegal and you will be sent to jail?It doesn't matter if you are in prison, but you have cheated my sister.I knew you were like this a long time ago, and I would never agree to my sister marrying you.Now these two guys have lured you into the water, and they even stole my gun.My gun must have been taken by one of these two guys, or conspired to take it.Liang Qingtian Liang Qingtian, if you treat me as your brother-in-law, help me get the gun back, at least help find out if the gun is on them, and who is it on?If you can do this, I can find a way to let you go about your fake cigarettes.Ma Shan hid in the misty mountains thinking about his brother-in-law, while thinking and waiting for an opportunity to make his brother-in-law walk away from Zhou Changjiang and Tian Xiaoren.

The opportunity finally came.Liang Qingtian left the factory to defecate in the field.Ma Shan withdrew from the hole he got in.He quickly pinned down his naked brother-in-law and covered his mouth.It's me, Ma Shan said softly, and then let go of his hand.Liang Qingtian said brother?No one could see clearly in the dark field, but the voice was clear.Ma Shan said that we came to crack down on counterfeiting, but I didn't expect you to be involved.Liang Qingtian said brother, I am not the main thing, the main thing is not me.Ma Shan said, but you can't take it off. We have a lot of people here and ambushed around the factory building.Liang Qingtian said brother, let me go this time.Ma Shan said that I can let you go, but you have to do one thing, you have to be honest, otherwise don't blame me for not being able to help you.Liang Qingtian said definitely.Ma Shan said you should dry your butt first and put on your pants.Liang Qingtian dried his butt and put on his pants.Ma Shan said, let me ask you, do Zhou Changjiang and Tian Xiaoren have guns on them?Liang Qingtian said no.Did Ma Shan really say no?Liang Qingtian said anyway, I know no, I have never seen them have guns.Ma Shan said that they didn't have it before, maybe they have it now?Liang Qingtian said that I don't know.Ma Shan said you go in and find out, do they have guns?If you figure it out, it counts as meritorious deeds, but if you don’t understand it, if an accident occurs, you will be more guilty.Liang Qingtian said you tell me what to do?Ma Shan told Liang Qingtian what to do.

Liang Qingtian walked into the factory building and told Tian Xiaoren and Zhou Changjiang that when I was taking a shit, I heard the sound of many people running, and they came to this side, and there seemed to be the sound of pulling the bolt of a gun, you go have a look.When Zhou Changjiang heard this, he hurriedly said that they had done something to us.Tian Xiaoren said damn it, he didn't let us go even if he took us no matter how much money he took.What did Liang Qingtian say?What did you do with them?What did Tian Xiaoren say to do with them?People have a lot of families and guns, but we don't have any guns, and we have few people.A mouse licks a cat ×, isn't it courting death?Zhou Changjiang said to find a way, let's run.

Tian Xiaoren ordered Zhou Changjiang and Liang Qingtian to hide in the sundries first, saying that when they rushed in, they would take advantage of the chaos and escape. The three of them immediately found a place to hide, but they hid for a long time without seeing any movement.Tian Xiaoren signaled Liang Qingtian to go out and have a look.Liang Qingtian bit the bullet and left the factory building, touched the place where he used to shit, and told Ma Shan that he didn't have a gun.Ma Shan said, are you sure?Liang Qingtian said I promise.Ma Shan said yes, you go back and stabilize them, and said that it turned out that a group of wild dogs were chasing each other, and there was wind.Liang Qingtian said that I was arrested, how can you help me out?Ma Shan said I would say that you are an informant at the police station, undercover.

Ma Shan returned to Ximen Town on a motorcycle.But he didn't go home, but asked He Shuqiang to get him something to eat quickly, because he was already starving.Then he slept with He Shuqiang. Wei Jiefang met Ma Shan and said he was going to work so soon?Have you got any panacea?Ma Shan said not yet.On my way to visit folk doctors, I stumbled upon a place where fake cigarettes were manufactured, so I came back and reported to the leader.Did Wei Jiefang say so?it is good.Ma Shan said that it was at the junction of Ximen Town, Dongmen Town and Beishan Township, where the original troops were stationed.Wei Jiefang said he knew. Ma Shan said to give me the task of action, I am familiar with the situation there.Wei Jiefang said that you should grab the medicine first. This matter does not mean that you can act if you act.Where two towns and one township meet, how can we, a police station alone, be able to move it?To take action, several villages and towns need to be unified, and they must cooperate with the departments of industry and commerce and technical supervision.Not only can I not direct this matter, but neither can the mayor. The county magistrate or at least the deputy magistrate is required.When Ma Shan heard this, he said that I was too overwhelmed.Wei Jiefang said that in short, I will report to my superiors, and I will say that you have seized the clues.Ma Shan said it was not necessary.Wei Jiefang said that you should hurry up and grab the medicine. If you make a few more boxes of fake cigarettes, you will not die. Your father-in-law's illness will not be delayed. After leaving the police station, Ma Shan actually went to see his father-in-law.He was carrying a bag of things, but it was not medicine, but two catties of mutton.The father-in-law is a retired cadre of the grain office, or it is more accurate to say that he is a cadre who has been suspended without pay, because the grain office has long existed in name only, and he has not received his salary for a long time. Ping was reimbursed.This has made my father-in-law very grateful.He now lives in his ancestral home in Jiujie, under the care of his youngest son.When Ma Shan came, he was concentrating on playing chess with others at the door of his house.Ma Shan took the mutton into the house.The mother-in-law passed away, and the brother-in-law was not at home.Ma Shan washed and cut the mutton and put it in the pot to stew.Then I went to the door to watch my father-in-law play chess.The father-in-law's chess game was very stinky, Ma Shan couldn't help but make a noise and corrected it, only then did the father-in-law know that his son-in-law was coming.Ma Shan helped his father-in-law defeat the opponent, but the opponent was not convinced and asked to go down with Ma Shan.Father-in-law stepped aside.Ma Shan and his opponent fought several games in a row, but they all lost. He thought that playing chess could temporarily forget everything, just like his father-in-law only forgot that he was a patient when he played chess.Little did they know that the chess game was full of murderous intent and complicated and confusing, especially the sound of the chess piece eating the chess piece, like a terrifying gunshot.Whenever a piece was taken, he felt as if a man had been killed. At the end of the chess game, the mutton was stewed and there was still a pot head.
