Chapter 1146: Isn't the hatred of ten years ago going to be avenged?

Listening to the slightly off-key "F***" coming from the receiver, Director Luo Lan didn't feel surprised or uncomfortable. He even explained very patiently, "De Li Ke, these are all for us to be able to better crack down on crime."

"The harmfulness of the Lan Si family has already exceeded the Five Great Families!"

"Oh, by the way, first it was the Four Great Families; the Perez family is already finished."

"In this way, its harmfulness is even greater!"

"Lan Si is a cunning criminal group leader. He is smart, knows how to hide himself, and knows how to use power to cover up his crimes. Such a person might not be seen doing bad things on the surface, but in places we can't see, he is threatening the safety of this country!"

"This is a bomb that doesn't know when it will explode. If this matter is not solved, for all of us, it is absolutely not a good thing."

"You can scold me, say whatever you want, I accept it all. Doing these is not for myself..."

De Li Ke couldn't help but interrupt his words, "You are already a bit obsessed with Lan Si now, Luo Lan!"

"Your idea and desire to defeat him have exceeded your persistence in justice in your heart. I don't know what exactly happened, but this is absolutely not a good thing!"

"What you need to do now is to calm down first, and then ask yourself whether doing these is worth it."

Luo Lan's breathing in the receiver became a bit heavy. Although De Li Ke is still investigating the criminal evidence of the Lan Si family, some of his concepts are undergoing some changes.

The more he investigates the criminal problems of the Lan Si family, the more he feels a kind of... emotion that he can't say.

On one hand, the Lan Si family is clearly a gang. They use some violent means to formulate the rules of the game in the entire region.

Some materials they collected indicate that at least more than fifty deaths are directly or indirectly related to the Lan Si family, not to mention those who died in firefights and gang wars.

What is mentioned here is that these deceased are not gangs, they should be innocent people, maybe they offended them, or maybe because of some other unknown reasons.

And they have criminal businesses, but under Lan Si's request, they have transformed rapidly, and now it is very difficult to continue investigating.

For example, selling alcohol, including locally in New Jincheng, Lan Si is handing over the bar aspect to other gangs to do. Except for some bars operated and managed by family cadres and combat captains themselves, others have been handed over cleanly.

The Federal Investigation Bureau can ask about smuggling alcohol, but the final person responsible for these cases is the Hazardous Materials Administration. Lan Si has a good relationship with them, from top to bottom.

And these bars are nominally unrelated to him, so they cannot be used as evidence pointing to him.

Besides these, he almost has no other criminal businesses. Although the few buildings behind the naval base are still operating, the people operating them now have become those refugees who stayed behind and some locals.

Lan Si won't collect the money that those girls exchanged their bodies for, and they will be divided into four parts.

The girls get one-third of it, and another one-third of the funds will flow to the navy side. As for whose pocket it flows into, De Li Ke has no qualification to investigate, and doesn't dare to check; after all, that is the military.

Of the remaining two-sixths, half will be given to the operators, which is considered their basic expenses to maintain the current operation.

And one-sixth will enter a "Care Foundation." This foundation is a private equity fund, and only registration information can be found. It was registered by a federal male who has already passed away.

They will use this money to help those refugees and illegal immigrants who need help, for example, problems in medical aspects, humanitarian rescue and care. If they can't afford money to file a lawsuit, the foundation also helps them hire lawyers.

This is a foundation that "provides services without compensation," because the registrant has already died. Now the foundation operates according to the rules and regulations when it was established. Everyone is just a "machine," not a soul. Investigating this has no meaning.

Those funds are definitely on the accounts after checking back and forth. Lan Si doesn't look at this money and won't touch it.

Besides these, De Li Ke almost cannot find any other shocking practices of Lan Si and the Lan Si family.

Grab a local person on the street of New Jincheng and ask them how they feel about Lan Si and the Lan Si family?

They will tell you a lot of nice words, and then wait for you to walk less than five minutes, and a few young people will come up and follow you.

They won't actively ask you to do anything—that is against the law—they will just follow you, keep following you, until you take the initiative to speak.

Some measures of the Lan Si family here have become more legal. They are completely detaching from that set of gang things and becoming a group that many people cannot leave.

For example, the labor introduction agency is now also the largest labor platform in the entire Laizhou and even the south. Anyone can come here to find job opportunities, refugees, illegal immigrants, or other people.

Here, it replaces many functions of the union. Capitalists like to deal with them because they don't like to manufacture labor-capital conflicts like unions and then fish for benefits from both sides.

The most critical point is that the information on the labor introduction agency side is very transparent. They can not only guarantee the smooth employment of capitalists but also ensure that the welfare benefits negotiated between laborers and capitalists will not be exploited.

In short, they are like the sun above this city, unable to be ignored by people, but they won't bring coldness, only warmth.

Facing such a "gang," some of De Li Ke's thoughts are also changing.

He promised Luo Lan's invitation to become the director of the Federal Investigation Bureau in New Jincheng, to come to investigate the criminal facts of the Lan Si family, not... to come to stop such a vibrant organization with human touch from doing what they should do.

When a gang is no longer a gang, does it mean that it is no longer within the scope of justice's crackdown?

In these two years, De Li Ke's spirit and thinking have also undergone several transformations.

Lan Si might have some problems that were not handled very well, and some historical problems that cannot be explained clearly, but at least they are not bad now.

De Li Ke reflected his own thoughts directly in the call with Luo Lan. After a short pause, Director Luo Lan suddenly asked, "Were you bought off?"

This sentence made De Li Ke laugh out loud, "Then fire me!"

Director Luo Lan sighed, "I have been under great pressure recently. You know, there are indeed some problems between Lan Si and me."

De Li Ke inserted a sentence, "You belong to two different camps, play clearly."

This sentence actually hit the point, which is also the core of Director Luo Lan chasing Lan Si and biting him at this stage. Biting people is his value at this stage.

Mr. Bo Te, those big shots in Congress, the purpose of them raising this hound is not for appreciation, not to make this hound look very majestic. What they need is for this hound to be able to catch prey and be able to bite people.

If you don't bite people and can't catch prey, then what do you want to do?

It is better to say that Director Luo Lan is being forced to have conflicts with Lan Si than to say that he and Lan Si have irreconcilable contradictions.

"Don't say these, just say whether you agree or not."

"I don't know if your thinking has had some changes, but you have to understand, De Li Ke, no matter what drives me to do this, to fight Lan Si to the end, it cannot change the fact that they once had a large amount of crime."

"Is it that they have become better now and started doing charity, so they can ignore the evil of them killing people before?"

"No, anyone, no matter who, the president, the Supreme Court justice, or God, cannot represent anyone to forgive the sins they once committed!"

"They need to pay the price for these, at any time!"

The truth is this truth, but De Li Ke still thinks that Director Luo Lan has brought too many subjective emotions into this matter.

Perhaps it is because the contradictions between him and Lan Si have escalated, reaching the point where both sides can no longer retreat.

After long thinking, De Li Ke finally compromised, "Just treat it as me repaying the friendship of you promoting me to this position!"

"I will ask those undercover agents. If they are willing to cooperate with your work, then good, I will let that person do it."

"But if no one is willing to cooperate with you, I also can't let my little guys go to die for your these things!"

He said very firmly. The risk of this matter is too great. The Lan Si family now shows more harmlessness, the more they will reflect their cruelty at some time!

As someone who has been studying crime and gang organizations for a long time, De Li Ke is very clear about this point.

Those lions lying lazily on the big grassland, looking like enlarged cats, can see their interesting and harmless side after they are full.

But once they need to show their fangs, that is a cruel hunt!

They will tear their prey apart. On the big grassland, in front of other animals, they will swallow them alive.

He had inquired before that "Mr. Bo Dun's" son was ordered by Lan Si to be executed, in a very cruel way.

He couldn't imagine, and didn't want his little guys to encounter trouble.

Director Luo Lan heaved a sigh of relief. His emotions were expressed directly in a slightly light tone, "This matter is what I owe you, and I guarantee that it is absolutely not letting them go to die. Everything will be arranged very properly."

"As long as they take action, we will catch people!"

"I'll wait for your good news."

After putting down the phone, De Li Ke couldn't help but light a cigarette. This damn job!

There are four people who have gone undercover in the Lan Si family this time. In fact, he didn't require these people to do any active work. This is like a... chance for agents with a strong sense of justice to try.

These few people, like Director Luo Lan, all have a kind of hatred for crime that can be called "twisted." Putting them in the Investigation Bureau will only bring more trouble.

Letting them go undercover and giving them some restrictions, on the contrary, can let them not cause big trouble.

In fact, he didn't think these people could do anything, and even if they were discovered, De Li Ke would try to persuade Lan Si to let them go, but there is a prerequisite here, which is not to pose a threat to the Lan Si family.

Being discovered by them and betraying the family are two different things.

He spent the whole day contacting these people. Late in the evening, two undercover agents clearly expressed that they were very interested in this job, while the other two were clearly not interested.

And among them, one person expressed the most intensely and also actively requested to see De Li Ke.

Reluctantly, De Li Ke could only go through some simple makeup to make himself look like another person in the dark night, and came to a bar.

In the corner of the bar, he bumped into the person who wanted to see him.

Two people sat back to back, and there were no other people around. The noisy sound in the bar could cover up the communication between them.

"Let me do this."

The young voice came from behind his head. De Li Ke asked while tasting the whiskey in the cup, "Do you know that there is a huge risk in this?"

The whiskey craftsmanship of the Lan Si family is getting better and better. Compared with those gangs who just intend to make a big profit during the prohibition period, Lan Si is clearly wanting to make it a brand, a famous brand, and even possibly push Jin Lion Wine Industry to go public in the future!

So the recipe of the winery has been improving, and with the cellar storage being able to turn over, the flavor and taste produced by the aging of whiskey now completely don't need thickeners and spices to modulate.

Of course, appropriately increasing some additives is still beneficial for people to taste its beauty, and these additives are basically harmless.

This makes Jin Lion Factory's whiskey have many flavors, some with old nutty and grassy wood flavors, and some bold ones, such as whiskey with mint and some fruit flavors.

These are very popular among young people. The alcohol market in New Jincheng and even the entire Laizhou has basically been eaten clean.

He is feeling the beauty of the whiskey in his hand. The voice behind him came over again, and it also carried a clear, gnashing hatred, "I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Let me do it. I want to personally be the one who pushes down the first pillar!"

This is a phrase similar to ancient wisdom condensed. In stories similar to those legends, a human kingdom suffered from the control of an "evil god." This evil god built a brilliant palace on the mountain behind the kingdom, and the shadow forever shrouded the sky of the kingdom.

Later, after some things happened, a young human hero pushed down a pillar in the palace, and then this magnificent palace collapsed in a very short time.

The ruins of the palace with divine power completely buried the arrogant evil god.

So people had such a phrase—

The person who pushes down the first pillar.

Use this phrase to describe the initiator of the chain reaction.

De Li Ke was a bit silent. Pushing down the pillar is very simple, but the price paid is very heavy.

He didn't speak. The young man behind him continued, "Lan Si killed my parents. I think about revenge every moment. Now such an opportunity appears in front of me. I can't accept that it is not me who is the key person to overthrow the Lan Si family!"

"No matter what, what kind of consequences, I will bear it myself!"

His words carried a bloody smell. De Li Ke froze for a moment. He wanted to ask if this young man had seen blood, but in the end, this sentence was not asked.

"Since you have made a decision, then I won't persuade you. Tomorrow, still here, I will tell you the whole plan."

Saying that, De Li Ke finished the wine in the cup, put down the cup, and left the bar.

There are many such people. They come in for a drink, drink it, and leave. This is also the high-quality customer that the bar likes most. They don't make trouble, actively give money, drink and roll away, absolutely not occupying seats. They are all high-quality customers of the bar!

In the evening, he contacted Luo Lan, who had been waiting for news. When Luo Lan got this answer, he was clearly very happy.

"I know that young man. His father seems to be a police officer in New Jincheng, because of some things he had a conflict with Lan Si, and then..."

"In short, this candidate is very good."

"My idea is this!"

Director Luo Lan is not just waiting dryly. He planned a plan. De Li Ke's brows were tightly knitted and didn't relax after hearing it.

The person who planned is willing, and the person who executes doesn't object. What he said in the middle seemed a bit redundant.

"The risk is very large. I hope you can do what you said, that no one will have an accident!"

Director Luo Lan patted his chest on the phone and guaranteed, "He will definitely be very safe."

In the middle of the night that day, Director Luo Lan's people set off from New Jincheng toward New Jincheng. They were all wearing casual clothes.

Some drove, some took the train. They looked like tourists who were going to New Jincheng for travel.

In three days, the young man responsible for executing this plan also repeatedly deliberated on the whole plan.

After he woke up from the bed in the morning, he went to the balcony to water the flowers. This is actually a means of contact.

He has four different plants here, representing "yes," "no," "meet," "danger," and these meanings, and can also extend to meanings like "do" or "not do."

He will put one of the flower pots into the room, then that flower pot is missing from the windowsill, which represents his view on certain information conveyed.

In the building opposite him, there is also such a windowsill.

When he saw a pot of tulips placed on the windowsill he paid attention to every day, he froze for a moment, and then started doing things he would do every day.

He took all the flower pots back to the windowsill, watered them, then took a bath, and made a rich breakfast for himself.

He tidied up all the bits and pieces, making the whole house look very neat.

Because he knew that he very likely, in this life, would not return here again.

As an undercover agent, even if it is peripheral, he is very clear that as long as he does today's things, as long as he appears in New Jincheng, or even Laizhou, he will be discovered very quickly.

So, this is his last day here.

He put the cigarettes into his pocket, checked the weapon, then took a deep breath, and pushed open the door of the apartment.

A new day, started...
