Chapter 8 Eight

Ou Qingchun and Xiao Tong said that she was on a business trip for a few days, and they were not lying. A few days ago, she went to Tianjin and Ninghe County in Hebei Province.And this time she was not alone, Li Chunqiang sent Du Changfa as her assistant.The two of them spent three days interrogating 11 criminals involved in drug trafficking cases in Tianjin Prison and Chadian Labor Reform Farm, and gained a lot.Among the eleven detainees serving sentences, at least three recognized Hu Daqing from the photos, and they confessed some of Hu Daqing's past whereabouts and his frequently used pseudonyms.Judging from the information provided by them, Hu Daqing is indeed not an ordinary drug dealer. The number of times he has sold drugs, the extensive contacts with drug dealers, and the huge amount of drug sales have all exceeded Qingchun's original estimate.

So, after they returned to Beijing, Li Chunqiang specially arranged a report to the office.Director Ma Zhanfu personally listened to the report, and felt that this was probably an uncommon major drug-related case. Because Qingchun's conclusion at the end of the report is very clear: First, Hu Daqing's drug trafficking point line is very wide.Just judging from the confessions of a few criminals, it has spread all over Beijing, Tianjin, Northeast China and Guangdong.Second, he used several false names and identities for a long time to enter high-end restaurants and live in high-end hotels.The Dunhill brand suits seized in Convoy Entertainment City can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan in the market, which shows that his drug trafficking is very professional and the drug money is huge.Third, carry weapons with you, and shoot and kill people, with brutal and experienced methods.These three points alone are enough to prove that he is not an ordinary peddler.Judging from the drugs seized at the scene of the Western-style building that day, he sold over a kilogram of heroin at a time, which shows that he is not a retailer, but a supplier to those wholesalers.

During Qingchun's report, Director Ma didn't ask questions or interrupt, but from the expression on his face, it could be seen that he listened carefully.After Qingchun finished talking, he didn't express his opinion immediately, but asked Li Chunqiang to express his opinion first. Li Chunqiang said: "I agree with Qingchun's conclusion. The question raised now is that the reason why Hu Daqing was able to carry out such a large amount of professional drug trafficking in such a wide area is obviously not a 'self-employed'. Only group crimes can do it. At this level, we can now assume that this is a drug trafficking organization with a strict internal system and good protection measures. Some of them buy goods, some store them, some transport them, some sell them, some people launder money, and even have special drug production bases. Well, this Hu Daqing may just be a key salesperson in the entire drug sales network, that is, the role of a "batch" as people in this circle call it. The purpose of our search for Hu Daqing now should be to dig out The main body of this drug group, and the ringleader of this group."

The director nodded, with a smile on his face: "Not bad." He said. "Your team did a good job in this part. This is a character with few clues. You can figure out so many situations and deduce the background of a group crime. Whether you catch Hu Daqing or not, this is an important gain." "The director scratched his head, and continued: "However, reasoning can be bold, and argumentation needs to be careful. You still need to find more evidence, and don't rush to draw conclusions. The others are the first. In addition, you hurry up and organize the content of the report just now into a Let’s report a special report to the bureau. In my opinion, to find out about this case, we must first find Hu Daqing. Finding Hu Daqing is far from enough for us, who are only in the Beijing area, to conduct a regular investigation. We can suggest that the bureau invite the Ministry of Public Security Coordinate and ask some key cities and key areas to find out his whereabouts together."

Qingchun's mood was greatly brightened by the director's words of praise to the criminal police team and his arrangement for the next step of work.Her hard work these past few days was not in vain.Not only was he worthy of the dead Hu Xinmin, but he was also honored by the Interpol and Li Chunqiang.After all, Li Chunqiang is still a new official, and she knows that he still cares about the leader's evaluation. She wrote the report to the bureau overnight, and handed it over to Li Chunqiang early the next morning, and Li Chunqiang forwarded it to the director with almost no changes.Because the director already had a principled opinion of "bold assumptions and careful verification" on this case, Li Chunqiang did not wait for the approval of this report, and began to deploy forces to start the search for Hu Daqing.Of course Qingchun participated in it, and went to various sub-bureaus to conduct investigations and collect clues. He was so busy that he didn't even meet his father for several days.When she went out in the morning, her father hadn't woken up yet, and when she came home in the evening, his father had already gone to sleep. They just left notes to each other to greet each other every day.

After another busy day on the weekend, they held a situational meeting together on Sunday morning. After the meeting ended, Li Chunqiang ordered: Do nothing in the afternoon and rest! After most of the comrades in the team had left, Li Chunqiang called Qingchun to stop and asked her to have dinner at his house in the evening. "My mother asked me to invite you to go. Tonight, she cooks yellow croaker with garlic. You have eaten it in the past. My mother still remembers that you like her favorite dish." Qingchun thought for a while, then declined, "Let's go next time," she said, "My father left a note for several days, hoping that I could have dinner with him, and I want to accompany him today."

In fact, she rejected Li Chunqiang not just because she wanted to accompany her father.She felt that Xinmin's death had not yet expired, so she shouldn't have had a hot fight with Li Chunqiang. On the way home, she bought a few catties of chicken feet in a supermarket. Her father loved this and he was good at it.But before she entered the house, her BP machine kept ringing. When the BP machine rang, she had a conditioned reflex, and every sweat pore tensed up.She couldn't guess what emergency had arisen again, and the plan to have dinner with her father suddenly seemed distant again.

It's a phone number I've never seen before.When she got home, she ran to the hall of her father's room to make a phone call.After the call was connected, her mood immediately relaxed.The person who called her turned out to be Xiao Tong, a college student from the Law Department of Yanda University. Xiao Tong's voice on the phone is just like his appearance, full of youthful vigor, which makes Qingchun faintly infected by something that has been forgotten.Xiao Tong asked her if she was free in the afternoon, and she pretended to ask what's the matter?Xiao Tong said it's nothing big and a little bit small, can we meet up?She asked what kind of thing it might be about?Xiao Tong said that it is inconvenient to occupy the public phone for a long time, and it is best to meet and talk later.Seeing him so secretive, Qingchun laughed inwardly. She originally wanted him to come to her house to find her, but hesitated for a moment, and changed her mind to make an appointment at another place.

Put down the phone, and put the bought chicken feet into the refrigerator.She glanced at her father's bedroom.The bedroom door was ajar, and there was no sound from inside.She called out: "Daddy!" Still no one answered.She opened the door and went in, seeing her father sleeping on the bed, breathing heavily, she called out again: "Dad." Only then did the father answer hoarsely: "I'm home." On her father's bedside table, there were medicine bottles and water glasses scattered about. Before she had time to think about it, she saw her father's pale face and beard that hadn't been shaved for a few days. She asked:

"Dad, are you sick?" The father moved sideways, turned his face to her, and said, "'Ah, I'm not feeling well, maybe I have a cold." Qingchun sat beside her father's bed and touched his forehead with her hand. "Fever!" she said: "What happened, when did you get sick, have you gone to see it?" "It's been a few days, maybe it's getting better soon." Qingchun was in a hurry, because his father's forehead was still hot.She hurriedly helped her father up, complaining all the time. "Why don't you go to the doctor? You can call me if you can't get up. It's been a few days, so it must be delayed."

Father said: "Aren't you busy these days? I wanted to call you, but after thinking about it, forget it." Qingchun said, "Didn't you leave me notes every day? Why didn't you say so?" My father said: "I have my own medicine. After your mother is gone, I will come over just like this when I get sick. You are running outside all day, on a business trip, and you can still point at you?" Qingchun helped his father put on his shoes: "Aren't you scolding me for not caring about you? You didn't tell me, but you said I can ask for leave." My father said: "You are going to start your career now, why do I always delay you. As soon as your mother dies, I will think about it. I can overcome it myself and not drag others down...Will you wear shoes for me? I won't go to the hospital. I will There is medicine..." Qingchun said angrily: "Why did I become 'someone else'?" She forced her father to put on his shoes and called a taxi.While waiting for a taxi, I didn’t forget to say a word on Xiaotong’s BP machine: "I accompanied my father to Ping An Hospital, the meeting was canceled, sorry." Half an hour later, the taxi came.Father didn't want to go to the hospital yet, so she forced him down the stairs.After all, my father is already sixty years old, what if he develops a serious illness, she thought. Ping An Hospital is the nearest hospital to her home, and it is also the contract hospital of her father's unit.It takes five minutes to drive from her home to Ping An Hospital, and the taxi fare plus her home's empty driving fee is only 28 yuan.But the trouble is, she gave the driver a one-hundred-yuan note, and the driver couldn't get it back.She rummaged through herself, and all the change was less than twenty yuan.The driver said that you asked the old comrade to wait in the car, and you went to change.She said that there are no shops or restaurants nearby, where can I change it?The driver said, you can go to the toll office in the hospital to change it.Qingchun said that there is always a queue at the toll office, and it is unknown whether they will exchange money or not.The two were negotiating, when suddenly a hand handed in thirty yuan bills through the open window of the car and said, "This is thirty yuan, don't change it." Qingchun looked up and saw that it was Xiao Tong, and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here?" Xiao Tong smiled triumphantly: "I am everywhere." Together they helped Qingchun's father up the steps of the hospital.During the whole process of seeing a doctor, Qingchun was always with his father, and a series of errands and errands such as registration, taking bills, pricing, paying fees, and receiving medicines, etc., were all thanks to Xiaotong.My father got pneumonia. Fortunately, he came to the hospital and was given penicillin, otherwise it would have turned into something else.Qingchun felt a little scared, so even though her father was very reluctant, she insisted on letting him stay in the hospital. The doctor said: It’s okay to live, it’s okay to not live, if you don’t stop, just take the needle back and get the injection on time. Qingchun said: I can't stay here. If the condition changes, there are doctors in the hospital who make rounds every day and can take immediate measures.Besides, it is not convenient to get an injection at home. So the hospital arranged a bed for him, and immediately hung the bottle.Qingchun wants to go home to fetch things for his father, Xiao Tong volunteers to stay with his father.Qingchun felt a little sorry and asked him to go back.Xiao Tong insisted on not leaving.He said that you have been with me in the hospital for so many days, you must give me a chance to repay you.Qingchun had no choice but to stop being polite, and she said: "Okay, it's time for dinner right away, you can ask the old man what he wants to eat, and you can order it for him. Besides, you keep an eye on this drip bottle, and if you finish drinking it, hurry to find it." The doctor is coming." After Qingchun gave her instructions, she left in a hurry.Instead of taking a taxi, she went home by bus.It was rush hour for commuting to and from get off work, and she was delayed on the road for more than half an hour before arriving home.My father puts all his own things, and Qingchun doesn't know where to put them.It took her a long time to sort out all the toothpaste, toothbrush, underwear, semiconductor radio, reading glasses, etc. that her father needed in the hospital.Just as he was about to leave, the doorbell rang, and Li Chunqiang came over suddenly. He brought a lunch box, in which was his mother's fried yellow croaker with garlic.He heard Qingchun tell about his father's illness, and said that he just gave the fish to your father to taste. The two went out to the hospital together without talking much, Qingchun carried the things for his father, and Li Chunqiang carried the lunch box to cook fish.When the two rushed to the hospital, Qingchun's father had finished the injection and was drinking porridge.Li Chunqiang lost no time in bringing garlic-roasted yellow croaker, and said some words of condolence in an inarticulate manner.After seeing the fish, the father praised them a few words and asked them to take them home to eat.Li Chunqiang insisted on staying and said that the fish does not need to be hot, and it is delicious to eat cold.My father said, when I feel unwell, I lose my appetite, and I don’t like thick and greasy food, so I just want to drink porridge for a few days to clear my intestines. Xiao Tong, who stood by and waited on him, interjected: "Uncle likes to drink porridge now, and he has already had two bowls. I know the food in the hospital. The dishes are cooked without any taste, just porridge boiled." Well done. " Li Chunqiang looked Xiao Tong up and down, and Qingchun didn't know how to introduce him for a moment: "This is Xiao Tong, a friend of mine, a little brother." Xiao Tong showed the unique generosity and initiative of young students, and stretched out his right hand to Li Chunqiang: "Hello!" Li Chunqiang also reached out to shake his hand and nodded.Qingchun said to Xiao Chong: "This is my colleague." It was getting late, and the doctor came over and yelled at them: "Everyone who is not with you, please go, hurry up, come back tomorrow." They had to leave the ward.Walking down the street, Qingchun was hungry, so he suggested finding a nearby restaurant to eat something casually, and the two men agreed together. They turned half a street before they found a restaurant that couldn't tell whether it was an individual or a state-owned restaurant, and went in and sat down.After giving way, Qingchun ordered the food.No wine was asked.While waiting for the food, Xiao Tong took out the crystal glass photo frame that he had bought for Qingchun from his backpack, and opened it for Qingchun to see.Ask her if she likes it?Qingchun said it was so beautiful, elegant and pure.It made Xiao Tong's face bright like spring.He said, I guess you like it, this is for you.Seriously, Qingchun, I'm so embarrassed, but you have a good eye and know how to buy things. When the food was served, Qingchun went to the bathroom.The two men waited for her with chopsticks.Li Chunqiang played with the photo frame in his hand, and asked casually, "Where did you buy this and how much is it?" Xiao Zhong said: "You can't see it, I tell you it's crystal, and it costs 2,800 yuan, but you must not tell her, or she will scold me." Li Chunqiang looked up at Xiao Tong, and asked suspiciously: "Who are you, why did you give her such an expensive gift?" Xiao Tong didn't hide his elation, "It's nothing, my friend, I think she's good, so I'll give her as a gift, and I can spend as much as I like." Perhaps it was the figure of 2,800 yuan that made Li Chunqiang particularly uncomfortable. It was actually the same value as the wedding gift he gave Qingchun.He frowned and asked, "Aren't you a student? Where did you get so much money? Did you ask your parents?" Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment, before he could think of how to answer, Li Chunqiang said again: "Young man, if you want to give someone such an expensive thing in the future, you should earn money to buy it yourself, and don't ask for it from home. This is a bad habit." Xiao Tong seemed disgusted with Li Chunqiang's lesson, put away his smile, and said back: "I don't have a job yet. My parents should support me. I save the money they give me for food and drink, and buy something for someone I like. It's legal and reasonable. I don't think there's anything wrong with it!" Li Chunqiang became a bit stern: "Do you like her? How old are you?" Xiao Tong also said in an arrogant tone: "I'm in my twenties! What's wrong?" Ou Qingchun came back at this critical time, and asked Xiao Tong with a smile: "What are you doing, registering for a household registration." The two men stopped talking and picked up the chopsticks together, but they felt that they were already in conflict with each other, neither of them talked to anyone, and if they wanted to talk, they would follow the topic of Qingchun. Qingchun said: "Do you know why my dad hates being in the hospital the most? He has to watch TV every day. You can't watch TV in the hospital." Xiao Tong immediately agreed with deep sympathy: "That's right, I live in this section of the hospital, and I like watching TV as soon as I come out, and I can't even watch commercials. Do you usually watch TV? What programs do you like to watch?" He asked Qingchun. Before Qingchun could answer, Li Chunqiang replied to Xiao Tong contemptuously: "In our business, we are busy all day long. We can't compare with you leisure class. We can watch TV every day without anything to do." Qingchun glanced at Li Chunqiang, and for a moment didn't understand why there was a thorn in his words.Xiao Tong didn't know whether he didn't understand or was heartless, so he continued to make comments: "Nowadays, if you watch too many TV shows, you don't like to watch them. Historical dramas are all jokes, and modern dramas are all nonsense. Whether it's about male robbers and female prostitutes or selfless dedication, you can't find it in life, and it's too far away from reality. " Li Chunqiang said sternly: "It's nonsense for male robbers and female prostitutes, so why is selfless dedication also nonsense? What is not easy to see in life needs to be written and advocated.In today's literary and artistic works, there are too few that describe dedication and noble qualities. " Xiao Tong smiled disdainfully and arguably, and said to Qingchun: "There are few written because it is too difficult to find in reality. Do you believe that everyone is Lei Feng?" His voice turned sweet again. : "But Qingchun, I admire you the most. You have been with me for so many days, what are you trying to do, even if it is for the person you used to be, I am very moved. So I always think you are very great. " Qingchun laughed, she was laughing at Xiaotong's childishness and innocence. "Xiao Tong, with so many teachers and classmates around you, are there no noble people? There must be, you just don't pay attention. Young people are passionate, and they are the easiest to dedicate themselves to something. " Xiao Tong laughed and said, "You mean 'groupies', right?" Li Chunqiang frowned and said to Qingchun: "Don't discuss this with him, he doesn't understand. We weren't as cynical as they were when we were in college, it's really not as good as one generation after another. " Xiao Tong looked dissatisfied, his eyes still did not look at Li Chunqiang, he only looked at Qingchun, and said: "But the world must move forward!" For some reason, Qingchun felt that the two men, one big and one small, made no sense. It's also very interesting to push each other.She smiled, and said in a motherly magnanimous and optimistic tone: "One generation is not as good as the previous generation, which means that one generation does not understand the other generation. It has been since ancient times. Those old comrades in the office still think that we are not as good as them, but you, Li Chunqiang, are not yet. As the captain of the first team, you have to deal with important cases. Don't look at Xiao Tong as being so out of shape now, maybe sometime in the future, he will become a hero who sacrifices his life. It has been coquettish for hundreds of years. You can’t accept it. It is a natural law that the waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead. No matter how well we do now, the future will be Xiao Tong’s world.” Li Chunqiang didn't want to refute Qingchun, but Xiao Tong stared suspiciously: "Hey, we are about the same age, why do you sound like you are a generation older than me?" Qingchun didn't answer, she smiled mischievously, picked up the drink cup, first to Li Chunqiang, then to Xiaotong, and said: "To our current heroes and future heroes, cheers!"
