Chapter 14: Old Man Ma
Early in the morning of the next day.
Because the team had a mission, Lao Mao was woken up by a phone call at six o'clock and rushed back to the police station. When Qin Yu was thinking about what to eat for breakfast to save money, Lin Nianlei unexpectedly brought him a plate of hot fried dough sticks.
"Just bought, eat it." Lin Nianlei hung the fried dough sticks on the door and shouted.
"Oh, this is so embarrassing." Qin Yu, who was washing up, was stunned.
"It's okay, it's all neighbors helping each other." Lin Nianlei wanted to thank the hot water last night, so she smiled and replied: "I'm going to work."
"... So early?"
"Well, there is an outfield mission, and I have to get the equipment early." Lin Nianlei smiled and waved at Qin Yu: "See you in the evening."
"Okay!"
"Bye, sister." Lin Nianlei turned around and left with a shoulder bag.
Qin Yu was stunned for a long time: "Sister, where do you start? Are you taking me for nothing...?"
Five minutes later
Lin Nianlei waited for her female colleague at the door, and while walking towards the unit, she said in a very gossipy way: "I'm telling you, the manly guy in our hospital... might be a gay..."
"Is it true?"
"It's basically certain, I saw it with my own eyes."
"Oh my God, that's a pity."
"...!"
...
Qin Yu ate the breakfast sent by Lin Nianlei, packed up simply, and rushed to the team.
Because of the lack of resources and the short time since Songjiang City was established, basic transportation is very inconvenient. There is no subway, no bus, and taxis are even rarer. Ordinary people basically have to rely on their legs to travel, or buy an electric car for themselves. But the charging cost of electric cars is also quite expensive. Only businessmen with stable jobs and stable incomes, or small leaders of government agencies, can afford it.
Qin Yu is a very stingy person, and he has to save money to achieve other goals, so he didn't buy an electric car. In addition to work, although the car in the group can be used, he has to bear the cost of using it himself, so he can only walk to the unit.
After walking for about five minutes, Qin Yu was about to go to the store to see if there were any e-cigarettes for sale when two strong men came over and sandwiched him on the left and right.
Qin Yu instinctively took a step back from the other party's posture and direction, and put his right hand on his waist, pretending to take out his gun, but in fact his gun was not on him.
"No harm, just want to talk to you." The leading man lowered his head and said.
Qin Yu was silent for a few seconds: "Who are you?"
"You don't need to know me, just know it." The leading man lifted the corner of his clothes and revealed the gun on his waist.
Qin Yu stood there with a cold face.
The leading man opened the gun safety: "Can we talk?"
Qin Yu carefully recalled who he had offended since he arrived in Songjiang, and then nodded and said: "Then let's go."
...
A few minutes later, in the alley.
Four middle-aged men stood on both sides of Qin Yu, and an old man sat in an electric off-road vehicle and did not get off.
Qin Yu carefully looked at the group of people and found that they were all dressed very simply. They all wore thick fur coats and woolen hats. Their cheeks looked dirty, as if they were all covered with oil stains.
In this environment, Qin Yu was not afraid of the so-called big men who were dressed sleekly, spoke softly, and often looked sophisticated, but he was a little afraid of these people who came from unknown places and looked rustic. Qin Yu was a little nervous because the people in front of him reminded him of the gangster Songxia who was beaten to death a few days ago.
"Did you catch Ma Laoer and Damin?" The old man in the electric car asked, hugging his shoulders and wrapped in a coat.
The biggest reason why Qin Yu did not choose to fight with the other party just now, but followed in obediently, was that he had roughly guessed that this group of people came for the case. Because he had offended a few people in Songjiang, Lao San was one of them, but the conflict was far from the level of shouting and killing. If the other party came because of the case, it was nothing more than doing business and saving people, so Qin Yu felt that there was no need for the other party to confront him.
Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, nodded and replied: "I caught him."
"My surname is Ma, and I am Ma Laoer's uncle." The old man lowered his head and took out a flue-cured tobacco cigarette and lit it with a lighter.
Qin Yu blinked, and his expression immediately became ambiguous and humble: "Hello, hello, Boss Ma."
The old man turned his head to look outside the car, his voice hoarse: "Little brother, are you new to Songjiang?"
"Yes, I just came, and I paid for this job." Qin Yu was very frank: "Haha, anyone in the company can lead me."
"You have some connections, you can be a team leader just after you come?" Old Ma took a puff of cigarette.
"It doesn't matter." Qin Yu said with a bitter face: "I am lucky. I came across a case by chance and solved it. The director was happy and promoted me." Old man Ma exhaled a cigarette and said after a long silence: "Little brother, you are in charge of the case. Think of a way to give me face and let the person go first." "Hehe, this..." Qin Yu smiled timidly: "This... I can't do it!" "I won't let you do it in vain." After the voice fell, old man Ma waved his hand to the strong man standing on the left side of Qin Yu, and the other party took out 20,000 Asian dollars in cash from his arms and handed it over: "Take it." "This... This is not good." Qin Yu smiled and declined. "No money, there are bullets," the strong man asked very concisely: "Which one do you want?" Qin Yu's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he was very nervous. Because he had a hunch that if these people were unhappy, they would really kill them in a minute. "Little brother, you are the one who led the team to handle the case. If you just raise your hand and pull out some evidence, won't my two family members be released?" Old Man Ma said with a smile: "In this era, some people care about food and drink, and some care about survival, but I haven't heard anyone talk about principles. You may not be able to work as a police officer for a long time, but you can spend the money whenever you want." Qin Yu touched the 20,000 yuan in the strong man's hand and responded with a greasy smile: "Old man, I have to say from the bottom of my heart that I really want to get this money in my dreams. 20,000 yuan is enough for me to buy a police chief and marry several wives, but... I do have something to hide." The old man didn't reply. "The leader of the department promoted me and named me to solve the drug trafficking case." Qin Yu narrated softly: "If the person was arrested at that time and not taken back to the department, let alone you, Mr. Ma, gave me 20,000 yuan, even if you didn't give me a penny, I would definitely release him when I heard your name. But now the person has been taken back and the evidence chain is complete. If I suddenly release him, wouldn't that be against the leader and make the department look bad? Old man, I have been living in the planning area for so many years, and it's not easy to have a stable meal. I really can't offend the leader... So I can't help with this matter..." "Fuck, you are shameless!" The strong man on the right took out the Nepalese military knife and swung his arm, chopped Qin Yu's back head. The sound of breaking wind sounded, and the knife chopped very fast. Chapter 15 Spring-like style of doing things Qin Yu raised his arm horizontally and leaned to the left with his body arched. "Bang!"
A muffled sound was heard, and Qin Yu pushed the strong man back two steps. He stood still and raised his hand and shouted: "Brother, brother, don't make things difficult for me. The Ninth Special District is nearly seven million square kilometers, and there are gangsters everywhere. Who do you think I am? Why do you bother with me?"
After the strong man was pushed away, he held a knife in his hand and looked surprised: "What else can you do?"
"What can I do? I'm just a little policeman...!" Qin Yu made a bitter face, and sweat rushed from his forehead. He shouted at the old man in the car: "Uncle Ma, I really can't make a decision about the case. Can you raise your hand and let me go?"
Old man Ma frowned and glanced at Qin Yu. After a little consideration, he shouted to the strong man: "Don't touch him first."
The strong man held the knife and stepped back slightly.
"Since you said this matter has nothing to do with you, then tell me, who told you to solve the case?" Old Man Ma asked, obviously wanting to catch Qin Yu off guard.
After hearing this, Qin Yu not only did not lie, but responded in detail: "It was an order from the police station, and the department was required to clean up the drug trafficking gangs in the black street area within a time limit. Director Li was mainly responsible for supervising the case, and the case was thrown to Team One. It was Captain Yuan Keyuan who told me that the work must be completed within the time limit."
Everyone was stunned when they heard Qin Yu's answer. Because no one could have imagined that this guy did not quibble for the captain and Director Li, but was very spineless and cleaned up the matter.
Qin Yu saw that everyone was a little confused, and immediately opened his mouth and added: "Uncle Ma, if you can send this money to the higher-ups and let them say that this matter can be delayed, then I will immediately redo the evidence and release your family members, there is no problem at all."
"Haha, you still speak to people and speak to ghosts!" Old Man Ma looked at Qin Yu with a playful smile.
Qin Yu heard the voice, clasped his hands together and nodded repeatedly: "I am just a small police officer, it is difficult for me to survive, who do you think I dare to offend?"
The old man was silent for a few seconds, waved his hand and shouted: "Let him go."
"Brother Ma!" The strong man shouted, holding a knife to block Qin Yu's retreat.
"Let him go." The old man waved his hand again.
The four people looked at Qin Yu coldly, and then gave way.
"Don't worry, Uncle Ma, although I can't release your family, they are still detained here, I will definitely take care of them for you." Qin Yu added very tactfully.
Old man Ma was stunned, and suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble." Qin Yu nodded and turned to leave.
In the alley. The strong man stepped forward, looked at Old Man Ma and said, "This guy is too soft. I think he is telling the truth. He can't do this." Old Man Ma lit another cigarette, shook his head and replied, "He is not soft, he is oily." The strong man was stunned when he heard this. "If you want to be soft, you would have peed your pants when you see this scene." Old Man Ma said while smoking a cigarette, "Don't you understand yet? He wants to send us a message." "What?" The strong man was stunned. "This matter has nothing to do with him. The problem lies with Yuan Ke and Li Si." Old Man Ma muttered softly, "He is just a person who does the work. He doesn't want to offend us on behalf of the leader, so he put Yuan Ke and Fatty Li in the front without even thinking about it."
"Ah, that means his relationship with Yuan Ke is not as close as we think?" The strong man followed this line of thought and asked, "Yuan Ke promoted him, it is very likely that..."
"Yes." The old man interrupted and responded, "I feel that the sudden official crackdown on private drugs may be related to another batch of drugs that entered the market some time ago. We used to be the only one doing it, but now there are newcomers entering the industry... The problem may be competition."
"Then what about below?"
"There is no point in looking for this Qin Yu." The old man waved his hand and shouted, "Get in the car, first figure out why the official wants to sweep the goods, so that we know what to do about Xiaoer and Damin's matter."
...
Qin Yu left the alley and rushed to the police station as quickly as possible.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with Old Man Ma's analysis. Qin Yu just didn't want to take the blame for anyone. You, Yuan Ke, commanded me to solve the case, and there was no problem at all. But after the case was solved, a series of troubles came up, and you, as the captain, had to bear it. Qin Yu absolutely could not bear it by himself. Because his current physique could not bear anything, it was already difficult to maintain the basic status quo.
When he arrived at the police station, Qin Yu met Yuan Ke as soon as possible and told him about Lao Ma's matter, wanting to see his reaction.
Yuan Ke was surprised when he heard it, and he said very seriously: "These people are not easy to mess with, you must pay attention to safety recently. Don't worry, I will bear the pressure here. I will let people spread the word outside in the next few days, saying that I ordered you to sweep the drug trafficking gang, so that trouble will only come to me in the future."
When Qin Yu heard this, his doubts about Yuan Ke were temporarily dispelled in his heart. Because there was nothing wrong with what the other party said, and he was very righteous, like a leader who could be relied on.
After the small storm ended, Qin Yu immediately went to the interrogation room and continued to attack Ma Laoer and Damin, hoping to get confessions as soon as possible and catch bigger fish along the clues.
…
After six hours of interrogation, Ma Laoer and Damin still gritted their teeth and refused to cooperate.
Laohei was so anxious that he dragged the two men to a basement without surveillance or video recording, and used other "means" to force them to confess. But after being severely beaten, the two men still refused to confess.
In the end, Qin Yu had no choice but to get clues from Ma Zai, although what they knew was not the core secret.
In the interrogation room.
Qin Yu smoked an e-cigarette, tilted his neck and looked at Ma Laoer's brother and asked, "Can you tell me something useful? You only have some trivial clues. How can I help you?" Ma Zai lowered his head and replied, "Brother, I'm not saying nothing, but we have been arrested. The goods and personnel must have been hidden. Some of the information I knew before is useless now." "You may not know the cruelty of Lao Hei." Qin Yu stood up impatiently: "Okay, I won't interrogate you. Let Lao Hei teach you a lesson." "Brother, brother, don't do it. I won't bear it. Let me think about it again." "Then you should think about it quickly. I haven't eaten yet." Qin Yu bent down and sat down again. Ma Zai lowered his head and thought for a long time. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and shouted, "Hey, I really have a clue." "What?" Qin Yu asked. "Before I was arrested, I heard Ma Laoer mention it by chance when he called. It seems that there is a big man in charge of supply who will come to Songjiang in the next few days." Ma Zai said with bright eyes. Qin Yu's eyes were excited when he heard the voice: "Is it true?"
...
In a slum in Songjiang.
A slovenly man, holding a mobile phone, asked in a low voice: "Has the rumor passed? The goods are all suppressed, I have to make a move."
Old man Ma pondered for a while, and said helplessly: "Let's meet and talk first."
