Chapter 624
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.
Senior agent stood at the door and asked softly, "Who is 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 finally came!", senior agent finally breathed a sigh of relief; he opened two insurances and then pulled open the door.
When the door was completely opened, he stood there stunned.
Outside the door, several people were holding guns and aiming at him.
At this instant, countless snowflakes fell from the sky, everything turned black and white, and life also became noise.
"... This is the fifth home invasion robbery and murder case that occurred this month; Deputy Director Duke said he would 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 city center road, a row of neatly arranged televisions were 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 television content for free.
Televisions of eight hundred to one thousand dollars were dreams that many people could look at but couldn't reach, but here, one could enjoy the fun brought by television without spending money.
Looking at some unprocessed images, 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 started to express their points of view and opinions, and 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 they thought illegal immigrants were all criminals and thieves, and prostitutes, feeling that it was they who made New Jincheng worse.
And now, they thought it was refugees who triggered 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 output when facing negative emotions; refugees contracted all of this.
Soon with the arrival of the bus, people dispersed.
But the content they discussed would not 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 happened, some didn't know what 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 left us forever."
"I don't know if you noticed the morning news; in the Xilin District, a home invasion robbery suspected to be committed 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 because of such a thing, he accidentally left us forever; this is our loss, 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 all of them had had contact with this senior agent, after all, he was a colleague and a cadre, which would make people have a kind of sorrowful feeling of sympathy for 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 hope you discuss it this way."
"Before the truth comes to light, we must treat this matter rationally; at the same time, I also need to remind everyone, be sure 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 are also willing to provide some emergency capital loan services for our agents."
【Redacted】
"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, perhaps needing long-term treatment, they will also provide financial assistance free of charge."
"If there are any specialty drugs, they will also apply for you."
"In short, they will ensure that we will not 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 came a piece of good news; people's emotions were actively mobilized, and many people started 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 Administration was a more dangerous law enforcement department, because the criminals and crimes the police faced, vicious crimes were only a part, and there was another part that was petty theft, fighting, and looting shops.
But on the side of the Hazardous Materials Administration, as long as they were dispatched, there was a high probability of firefights, injuries, and deaths.
Now that someone could bottom out their health and subsequent treatment, this was not a bad thing no matter how you looked at it.
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-class agents hadn't changed their thinking yet.
This was not like those police officers; they had long been black through and through; now they were living by following Lanse, which was actually a manifestation of sublimation.
Among this group of people, it wasn't that no one knew what happened.
For example, another senior agent, at this time the horror in his eyes and his slightly trembling body showed that he knew what happened.
He yesterday saw Pang Da and that colleague who had the news of death leave together, associating with the words Derwent said to him on the road, he could already associate the whole process of the matter.
His colleague refused Lanse's solicitation, and then was killed at night, just killed so bluntly.
What made him feel even more uneasy was that the deputy director didn't come today either, and if he remembered correctly yesterday, it was the director and the deputy director who left together.
He glanced at Director Dai Er, who was radiating the light of justice all over his body, and he started to question the whole world!
A senior agent died, naturally a new senior agent had to be promoted; they wouldn't blindly promote, they must promote one of their "own people," 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; he is very likely to have absconded."
"They have already checked his account; there are 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, it could still be rounded off, then a deputy director also dying in an accident was a bit unjustifiable.
Now it was good; he didn't die; he absconded with guilt; his bribery matter was exposed by someone; now the prosecutor's side started to intervene in the investigation and found that he indeed existed in duty-related criminal behavior.
It was just that the person couldn't be found now, and the person who reported it just mailed a report letter; in the case of not being able to find the reporter, this case was hard to continue to advance.
The prosecutor's office was collecting other materials; if there was new news, they would issue a notice further.
Everyone was a bit confused by this news, but soon accepted it.
In this day and age, duty-related crime was not a strange thing; the police force next door could shoot one every interval and wouldn't kill the wrong one.
Power rent-seeking was already 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 broken things that happened in New Jincheng during this period.
If it wasn't for Director Dai Er already offering the money up, maybe now he would have to be adjusted in his work.
Looking at the money, they decided to give Director Dai Er another 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 to the Federation, none other; many gang groups here were relying on smuggling alcohol to survive.
New Jincheng occupied a share in the entire smuggling system that was not particularly large, but not particularly small; every year it could consume hundreds of millions of alcohol.
Even if its cost might only be one-fifth, 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 from outside ports entering the port 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 related problems as soon as possible, the Lanse family invited them to New Jincheng to discuss this business.
No time to lose!
