Chapter 622

At eleven o'clock, the sound of some cars stopping came from the road outside the door, and then the door of the house was knocked.

The senior agent stood at the door and asked softly, "Who's there?"

He hadn't heard the voice outside; it was very strange, but what the other party said was what he needed.

"Director Dai Er sent me; are you...?"

"Thank God, you're finally here!", the senior agent finally heaved a sigh of relief; he opened two locks and then pulled the door open.

The moment the door was fully opened, he stood there stunned.

Several people outside the door were holding guns, pointing at him.

At this instant, countless snowflakes fell from the sky, everything turned black and white, and life became noise.

"... This is the fifth home invasion robbery and murder case this month; Deputy Director Duke says he will solve the case as soon as possible..., the above is all the content of this station today."

In the display window on the side of the road in the city center, a neat row of televisions were all playing the same news program; although they were black-and-white televisions without bright colors, the outside of the display window was still crowded with people who were watching the TV content for free.

Televisions costing eight hundred to one thousand dollars were a dream that many people couldn't reach, but here, one could enjoy the fun brought by television without spending money.

Looking at some unprocessed footage, everyone's expression was a bit uneasy.

"The public security of the city has indeed had some problems recently.", a gentleman waiting for the bus couldn't help but complain.

A gentleman next to him nodded in agreement, "Yes, it is highly probable that those refugees did it; ever since they came to New Jincheng, the public security here has become bad again."

The people around began to express their own points of view and opinions; most people's points of view were the same—

All misfortunes were related to the excessive influx of refugees!

Those people could do any ugly thing for food and money; this had already become a kind of "common sense" for people.

This was actually a stereotypical prejudice, just like in the past when they thought illegal immigrants were all criminals, thieves, and prostitutes, feeling that it was they who made New Jincheng worse.

And now, they thought it was the refugees who caused a series of problems; although some problems were indeed caused by refugees, it wouldn't be all of them.

It was just that people's stereotypical prejudice made them need a stable outlet when facing negative emotions, and refugees contracted all of this.

Soon, with the arrival of the bus, people dispersed.

But the content they discussed wouldn't dissipate; instead, it would spread everywhere as they rushed to all parts of the city.

In the morning, Director Dai Er gathered everyone with a solemn expression; he had some things to say to everyone in the small auditorium.

Some people knew what had happened, some didn't know what had happened, and the whole small auditorium was noisy.

Until Director Dai Er came here, the discussion stopped completely.

Three senior agents stood on the stage, and the deputy director was nowhere to be found.

"A very vicious case happened last night; one of our colleagues has left us forever."

"I don't know if you noticed the morning news; in the Xilin District, a suspected armed home invasion robbery by multiple criminals took away our colleague and his family."

"This is heartbreaking, sad, and unacceptable!"

"He didn't fall on the road of fighting against evil, but left us forever because of such an incident; this is our loss, and the loss of New Jincheng's cause of justice!"

"I hope everyone can mourn for him for one minute..."

Everyone lowered their heads; although not everyone among them had had contact with this senior agent, after all, he was a colleague and a cadre, which would make people feel a kind of grief for the loss of their own kind.

One minute later, Director Dai Er continued, "Outside, everyone says these were done by refugees; before the police solve this case, I don't want you to discuss it like that."

"Before the truth comes to light, we must treat this matter rationally; at the same time, I also need to remind everyone to pay attention to safety..."

He said quite a few things and also mentioned another matter, a matter everyone was very concerned about.

"Recently, I contacted an enterprise; they are willing to bear the long-term medical expenses for... (the paralyzed agent), and they are also willing to provide some emergency financial loan services for our agents."

"No interest; no matter what the reason, if you suddenly need a large sum of money, they can provide it, free of charge."

"If anyone is paralyzed due to accidents at work or in life and perhaps needs long-term treatment, they will also provide financial assistance free of charge."

"If there are any specialty drugs, they will also apply for them for you."

"In short, they will ensure that we won't have anyone trigger various tragedies because they have no money for treatment."

"Including your family; if an accident happens that exceeds your ability to bear, you can all apply for assistance."

After a bad piece of news, a piece of good news came; people's emotions were actively mobilized, and many people began to applaud; this was indeed a good thing.

If the police department was a very dangerous law enforcement department, they needed to face frontline criminals and criminal acts.

Then the Hazardous Materials Bureau was an even more dangerous law enforcement department, because the criminals and crimes the police faced only included a part of vicious crimes, and there was another part of small cases like petty theft, fighting, and looting shops.

But for the Hazardous Materials Bureau, as long as they were dispatched, there was a high probability of firefights, injuries, and deaths.

Now that someone could provide a bottom line for their health and subsequent treatment, this was by no means a bad thing.

Director Dai Er didn't announce the name of this enterprise, but if anyone wanted to apply, they could fill out a form and give it to him, and he would go and talk to the enterprise.

Now was not the right time to let Lanse walk to the front of the stage, because those lower-middle-level agents hadn't changed their thinking yet.

This was not like those police officers; they had long been black to the core, and now they were making a living following Lanse, which was instead a manifestation of sublimation.

Among this group of people, it wasn't that no one knew what had happened.

For example, another senior agent; at this time, the terror in his eyes and his slightly trembling body showed that he knew what had happened.

He saw Pang Da leave with the colleague whose death news had come yesterday; associating this with the words Deruixi said to him on the road, he could already imagine the whole process of the matter.

His colleague refused Lanse's recruitment, and then was finished off that night—just finished off like that.

What made him feel even more uneasy was that the deputy director didn't come today either, and if he remembered correctly, it was the director and the deputy director who left together yesterday.

He glanced at Director Dai Er, who was radiating the light of justice all over, and he began to question the whole world!

A senior agent died, so naturally, a new senior agent had to be promoted; they wouldn't promote blindly; they had to promote "one of their own," and then erode from top to bottom little by little.

A little later, Director Dai Er gathered some middle-level cadres and senior agents together; he handed them a document with a solemn expression.

"Someone reported that the deputy director accepted bribes; it is highly probable that he has absconded."

"They have already checked his account; there were large capital transactions; although I really don't want to admit this matter, but...", he shook his head.

He also didn't expect Lanse to handle it this way; it could only be said that this way of handling was very appropriate.

If a senior agent died and it could still be rounded off, then a deputy director also dying in an accident was a bit hard to justify.

Now it was good; he didn't die, he absconded while guilty, his bribery matter was exposed by someone, and now the prosecutor had begun to intervene in the investigation, finding that he indeed existed in job-related crimes.

It was just that the person couldn't be found now, and the person who reported and exposed him only mailed a report letter; in the case of not being able to find the reporter, this case was very hard to continue to push forward.

The prosecutor's office was collecting other materials; if there was new news, they would issue a further announcement.

Everyone was a bit confused by this news, but soon accepted it.

In this day and age, job-related crimes were not a strange thing; the police force next door could shoot one every other one and wouldn't kill the wrong one.

Power rent-seeking had already become a normalized thing in the Federation at this time, especially after political capitalization; money seemed to have become a master key.

There was nothing it couldn't open.

Whether it was the loyalty of politicians to the country or the panties of girls, as long as the money was in place, they could all be opened.

The deputy director absconded, the senior agent died in an accident; the State Prohibition Committee was very dissatisfied with these messy things that had happened in New Jincheng during this period.

If Director Dai Er hadn't already offered the money up, perhaps he would have to be adjusted in his work now.

For the sake of that money, they decided to give Director Dai Er one more chance.

Seeing that August was about to end, the change in New Jincheng's alcohol market finally affected Xiang Yalan.

Currently, Xiang Yalan was the region that smuggled the most alcohol and beverages into the Federation, without one; many gang groups here were relying on smuggling alcohol to survive.

New Jincheng didn't occupy a particularly large share in the entire smuggling system, but it wasn't particularly small either; every year, hundreds of millions of alcohol could be consumed here.

Even if its cost might only be one-fifth or one-tenth, it was enough to support many gangs in Xiang Yalan.

Now some changes had happened in New Jincheng; the Lanse family issued a notice to all gangs in Xiang Yalan that smuggled alcohol into New Jincheng.

Starting from October, all alcohol entering the port from outside ports could only be sold to the Lanse family; if anyone dared to sell alcohol privately, then New Jincheng's alcohol market would be closed to them forever.

In order to handle the relevant problems as soon as possible, the Lanse family invited them to New Jincheng to discuss this business.

Don't wait until it's too late!
