Chapter 13 Thirteen, bullets

The Municipal Public Security Bureau is a European-style western-style building. It stands in a yard surrounded by French plane trees on Jiefang Road. These deep-rooted and leafy French plane trees were planted in unknown ages. The huge tree canopy hides this European-style western-style building. On the roof of the building higher than the canopy of the trees, the huge police badge shone golden in the sun, and the two armed police soldiers at the gate of the fortified compound added a bit of awe-inspiring mystery. This is the only place in Dongzhou where there are sycamore trees. These sycamore trees are like graceful and luxurious young women locked in the safe of time in front of the high-rise buildings constructed of glass curtain walls and reinforced concrete. The kindness revealed in the majesty.

Deng Dahai, deputy mayor of Dongzhou City, also serves as the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, so he rarely sits in the office of the municipal government building. He works in the office of the Municipal Public Security Bureau almost all the year round. In the morning, Deng Dahai had just walked into his office, and found that the red internal phone specially equipped for deputy city-level leaders on the desk in the office was ringing non-stop. He thought that some city leader was looking for him, so he quickly picked up the phone and called The caller was Xiao Tang, the secretary of Li Weimin, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

"Hello! Mayor Deng, something important has happened and I have to report to you!" "Don't worry, Xiao Tang, speak slowly, what's the matter?" Deng Dahai's heart was also excited. He immediately thought of Li Weimin's safety. Li Weimin was the person Deng Dahai admired the most. He was neither humble nor overbearing, and he was upright as an official. He offended many people because he dared to fight hard. Deng Dahai repeatedly reminded Li Weimin to pay attention to personal safety, and specially arranged for Li Weimin to be a driver with extraordinary skills. Deng Dahai is still worried about Li Weimin's safety, because Li Weimin is a person who hates evil, and whoever gets in the way of money or official career may get burned these days.

"Mayor Deng, when I sorted out the letters from the masses in the morning, I found a special letter with something hard inside. When I opened it, it turned out to be a bullet." Xiao Tang's tone was tense, as if his lips were trembling. I am very worried about Li Weimin's safety. "Xiao Tang, it seems that you have received a threatening letter. What did you say in the letter?" Deng Dahai's heart tightened when he heard the word "bullet". Years of experience in handling cases told him that the gangster must be targeting Li Weimin. . "Mayor Deng, the threatening letter is very simple, just one sentence, 'Li Weimin, mind your own business, otherwise, be careful with your daughter's life!'"

After hearing this, Deng Dahai felt that the situation was serious. He didn't expect his opponent to attack Li Weimin's daughter, which was more vicious than attacking Li Weimin. "Little Tang, does Comrade Weimin know?" "I'm afraid he's worried about his daughter. I haven't told him yet. He's in Secretary Wang's office and will be back soon." "Okay, Xiao Tang, I'll go over right away, you ask Secretary Li to wait for me!" Deng Dahai put down the phone and called Shi Cunshan, the head of the criminal police detachment, and ordered him to go to the municipal party committee separately.

Deng Dahai and Shi Cunshan walked into Li Weimin's office, and Li Weimin followed. "Hey, Dahai, Cunshan, what are you doing here if you don't catch thieves?" After speaking, Li Weimin took out his Hongtashan and distributed one to each of them. "Comrade Weimin, there is a very serious matter, you must cooperate." Deng Dahai said seriously. "Dahai, you sound like you are interrogating a prisoner!" Li Weimin said jokingly. Deng Dahai signaled Xiao Tang to show the threatening letter to Li Weimin, and Xiao Tang handed the threatening letter with bullets to Li Weimin. Li Weimin frowned after reading it. He sat on the sofa, holding the bullet tightly in his hand. From the shining bullets, it could be seen that the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee with a strong bone was worried about his beloved daughter.

"Comrade Weimin, think about it carefully, who's interests have been touched recently?" Deng Dahai pointed at the vital point. Li Weimin thought for a while and said: "Comrade Haihai, I have received threatening letters before, and they were all directed at me. This time I didn't expect that they would reach out to my daughter! This letter must be the closest to me." It is related to cleaning up the unfinished buildings in the city. Many real estate companies started with loans, and many companies used unfinished buildings to repeatedly mortgage, and the hard-earned money of ordinary people evaporated in vain.”

"For the people, can you give me the list of these real estate companies?" Xiao Tang handed the list of real estate companies to Deng Dahai. "Cunshan," Deng Dahai said in an orderly tone, "to investigate, we must catch the black hand who wrote the threatening letter, and quickly contact the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau to report the situation and ask them to notify the school security department to pay close attention to the child's behavior." Safety. For the sake of the people, call your child and tell him not to leave the campus alone, and it is best not to act alone in the near future.”

Shi Cunshan interjected, "I'll inform the Beijing Office and ask Ding Nengtong to take care of the child." "Dahai, I beg you one thing. Don't expand the threatening letter, and don't let Mengling know, otherwise she won't be able to eat and sleep, and worry about her children all day long. If Mengling gets sick suddenly, I won't even I can't even eat." "Don't worry, for the people, I use the honor of the people's police to assure you that I will never let the conspiracy of the bad guys succeed. I dare to conclude that this kind of thing is definitely not the behavior of individual gangsters, and there must be an organized criminal group behind it. Many times at the executive meeting of the municipal government, he proposed that we should recognize the signs of crimes with the nature of the underworld in our city. Comrade Honglin thought that I was like a soldier, afraid that it would be detrimental to the economic development of Dongzhou City, and even misappropriated the funds for handling cases. I was really worried. Our work has entered the misunderstanding of "hard material, soft spirit". If things go on like this, it will create conditions for the breeding of underworld crimes. A leader of the Ministry of Public Security once used a triangle as a metaphor for the current organized crime situation with the nature of underworld. In other words, the bottom line of the triangle is gangsters, the diagonal line on the left is the capital obtained by violence in the business world, the diagonal line on the right is the political umbrella, one bottom line is supported by two diagonal lines, and it develops upwards to the top. Become a terrible underworld force that can control the business world and officialdom. The situation is grim. Comrade Weimin, I hope you will appeal to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee to attach great importance to the work of cracking down on the underworld, otherwise it will give Dongzhou reform and opening up and economic The construction caused serious harm."

Deng Dahai was obviously a little excited, because he had said these words to Xiao Honglin more than once. The mayor, who was devoted to economic work, turned a deaf ear to him. Even after Deng Dahai contradicted him, he was a little rebellious. I feel that Xiao Honglin is arbitrary and difficult to work with. Li Weimin understood Deng Dahai's feelings very well. He said sincerely: "Dahai, Cunshan, thank you for your contribution to keeping the city safe. My personal safety is a trivial matter. Protect Dongzhou's reform, opening up and economic development achievements, and defend Dongzhou The safety of life and property of the state people is the most important thing."

Deng Dahai got up and said goodbye: "For the sake of the people, the threatening letter must be investigated immediately. You should pay more attention to safety, save the mountain, and let's go." Li Weimin kept sending Deng Dahai and Shi Cunshan downstairs, watching the two cars go away, Li Weimin fell into deep thought.
