Qin Zhong's sudden change of expression made Tang Cheng look at him coldly, thinking that you have finally revealed your true colors! Tang Cheng actually didn't care at all about Qin Zhong's true face. The reason why he kept confronting Qin Zhong was to find out why this guy came to him directly. Tang Cheng looked at Qin Zhong with a cold face and said nothing. Qin Zhong, who was furious in his heart, also felt impatient in his heart. He, a dignified captain, was actually being annoyed by a young man who didn't know what he meant.
"Captain Tang, please correct your attitude and answer my question." Qin Zhong also had a cold face, took out a pen and paper and began to ask Tang Cheng. "Captain Tang, the Butterfly Team has been lurking in Chongqing for a long time. How did you find the relevant information? There is no record of this part in the interrogation records provided by the Chongqing Station. I need you to give a positive answer." Qin Zhong said at this moment The problem seemed simple, but Tang Cheng felt that the guy on the other side was digging a hole for himself.
Tang Cheng didn't pause or hesitate at all, but after Qin Zhong finished speaking, he immediately spoke. "I said before that cats have their own paths and mice have their own ways. The search team is active in the city all day long, so they naturally have their own intelligence channels. I feel that the question you just asked has nothing to do with the Butterfly Team, and I want to We protect the informants who provide us with intelligence, so I can’t answer your question directly.”
Qin Zhong had a bad start and did not get an accurate answer from Tang Cheng to his first question. However, he was not discouraged and continued to ask Tang Cheng questions. Qin Zhong's second question asked about the identities of the veteran police officers in the search team. Tang Cheng gave a positive answer to this question. "All members of the search team have police status, but they do not receive salary from the police station. Chongqing has a large population from outside the city, so they retain police status only to facilitate investigation and evidence collection."
Tang Cheng's answer was impeccable and did not give Qin Zhong a chance to grasp the issue. More than half an hour passed quickly between the two of them. Qin Zhong, whose face became increasingly ugly, finally gave up and continued recording, and took out a notebook from his briefcase and opened it. "Captain Tang, let's talk about the reform-through-labor farm outside the city!" Tang Cheng, who was wondering why the guy in front of him didn't get mad, suddenly felt relaxed when he heard the other party suddenly mention the reform-through-labor farm. For a moment.
"Captain Tang, according to our investigation, the labor camp outside the city was jointly established by the Chongqing Station, Chongqing Police Station, the local garrison and your search team. Now I really want to know, what are the prisoners in this labor camp on the outskirts of the city? Who are they? Another one, the labor camp on the outskirts of the city. Why are the guards guarding the labor camp? Why are they not prison guards guarding the labor camp?" After asking several questions in one breath, Qin Zhong leaned back and tensed his back. Pressing tightly against the back of the chair, you put on an attitude that says I'm sure you'll be taken over.
When Tang Cheng heard this, he just twitched his eyebrows out of habit, wondering what the problem was. Anyone with normal eyes could see these things! After all, Qin Zhong was a captain officer, and he came to Chongqing on behalf of the military headquarters. Of course, Tang Cheng couldn't point his finger at the other party and say Qin Zhong was a big fool. After a brief pause, Tang Cheng smiled and said, "Sir Qin, you only need to go to the labor camp on the outskirts of the city to understand everything you said."
Tang Cheng answered like this, obviously not wanting to say anything more. Seeing Qin Zhong's brows slowly frowning, Tang Cheng, who didn't want to get into trouble with the other party, started to explain. "Chief Qin, this labor camp was originally established because the public security in Chongqing city was chaotic. All kinds of gangsters filled the streets. As a result, the detention rooms of the police station were filled with the people they arrested. The city bureau's prison is old and in disrepair. If Putting people in jail, but worrying about causing trouble. So after several discussions, we decided to use the wasteland on the outskirts of the city to build this labor camp, which would also give those captured a chance to reform."
"Because it is wasteland, we already obtained the consent of the city government when the labor camp was first established. The city's official document of approval and the minutes of the meeting and discussion at that time are still preserved on the farm. The most important point is that this labor camp It was built without spending a penny of public funds. It was built confidently by the reform-through-labor subjects on the farm using local materials." Tang Cheng explained in detail this time, and Qin Zhong listened carefully and said There was no word to interrupt Tang Cheng.
"The reform-through-labor farm mainly focuses on planting and breeding. The output of the farm is used to ensure the daily supply of the urban area. The profits are divided into four parts. One part is retained as a farm development fund, and the other part is distributed to the garrison for maintenance. Funds for daily training. The remaining part is given to Chongqing Station as additional expenses for Chongqing Station, and the last part belongs to the search team and is used for the daily expenses of the search team. All of what I just mentioned, there are account books in the farm Records can be used to trace the whereabouts of funds.”
After briefly telling the story about the farm, Tang Cheng stopped talking and just lit a cigarette and started smoking silently. After spending so long with Qin Zhong here, Tang Cheng finally understood what Qin Zhong was up to. I bet someone was eyeing the labor camp outside the city. After two expansions of the labor camp, the current output can basically guarantee the vegetable supply for most of Chongqing. The meat supply starting at the end of the year can even capture a large share.
After nearly two years of development, the labor reform farm outside the city has gone from being unnoticed at first to now prospering. No wonder it has become a favorite in the eyes of others. Tang Cheng, who suddenly understood this, looked at Qin Zhong with evil eyes. Knowing that he could not fight against the upper-level forces, he was full of disdain for people like Qin Zhong. "Sir Qin, I still say the same thing. If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. I'm not used to the conversational mode of guessing."
Tang Cheng felt that since he had already figured out the other party's thoughts, he might as well get straight to the point. It was better than wasting time by guessing like this. Anyway, the labor camp outside the city was not a golden nest. Tang Cheng went straight to the point, which caught Qin Zhong off guard. Although Qin Zhong, who had been staying at the military command headquarters, had experienced many things, it was still his first time to meet a low-level person like Tang Cheng who did not follow common sense. one time. Qin Zhong's reaction made Tang Cheng laugh secretly in his heart. This guy actually raised his eyebrows at the other party subconsciously.
If a veteran military commander like Bai Zhanshan were here at this moment, he would definitely regard Tang Cheng's raised eyebrows as a deliberate provocation. Unfortunately, Qin Zhong was just a novice, so he didn't say anything to Tang Cheng's raised eyebrows. Qin Zhong came to Chongqing with a deep mission indeed. The labor camp on the outskirts of Chongqing was not originally favored by the big bosses at the military command headquarters. It was only after the conflict between the labor reform farm and the Central Unification agents of Bai Gongguan some time ago that several big bosses from the military command headquarters noticed the farm not far from Bai Gongguan.
The ** department is about to move south to Chongqing as a whole, and the military command headquarters will naturally move south to Chongqing. When it moved from Nanjing to Wuhan, the military command headquarters suffered the disadvantage of being late. So this time, the Military Command Headquarters planned to take the initiative and occupy Chongqing before other departments of the Communist Party of China. Bai Gongguan was a place that the bureau chief at the Military Command Headquarters was optimistic about. The labor reform farm is not far from Bai Gongguan and has a lot of output. If the labor reform farm can be controlled, the life of the military command headquarters in Chongqing will be easier.
Qin Zhong, who was called by the bosses at the headquarters to talk before leaving, actually didn't know that he was just a pathfinder pushed by those bosses at the front desk. He wanted to complete the tasks assigned by his bosses, so he had This scene of talking to Tang Cheng alone. Now being directly criticized by Tang Cheng, Qin Zhong simply stopped pretending, "Okay! Since you, Captain Tang, have said that you should go straight to the point, then I will go straight to the point. Let me tell you the truth. , someone is interested in the labor camp on the outskirts of the city, do you understand what I mean?"
Although this was a task assigned by a superior boss, Qin Zhong still retained the last trace of reserve, but Tang Cheng's reaction was once again beyond Qin Zhong's expectations. "You want a reform-through-labor farm? What does this have to do with me? Among the four forces that originally agreed to establish a reform-through-labor farm, the search team is the weakest. I think what you just said should go to the garrison, the city bureau, and the Let’s go to Chongqing Station and tell them, our search team can do whatever they want, I have no objection at all!”
Waiting for Qin Zhong to finally reveal his purpose, Tang Cheng's heart calmed down. The shops owned by the search team in the city were enough to support the daily expenses of the search team. With or without the share of the labor camp, for the current As far as the search party is concerned, it doesn't actually matter. Tang Cheng's answer was so straightforward that Qin Zhong never expected it. However, after being stunned for a moment, Qin Zhong became happy again.
"Sir Qin, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. I still have things to deal with!" After expressing his attitude, Tang Cheng stood up again. This time, Tang Cheng ignored Qin Zhong's words. He stopped him and just left the conference room without looking back. Tang Cheng walked out of the conference room and saw Zhang Jianghe's adjutant waiting in the corridor. Seeing the gesture, Tang Cheng went directly to Zhang Jianghe's office.
Zhang Jianghe's office and conference room were on the second floor of the small building. In fact, they were only separated by a few rooms. As soon as Tang Cheng entered, he saw Bai Zhanshan whispering something to Zhang Jianghe. "That man named Qin didn't give you any trouble?" Tang Cheng opened the door and came in. Zhang Jianghe immediately interrupted his quiet conversation with Bai Zhanshan and looked at Tang Cheng with concern. Seeing that Tang Cheng's expression remained the same as usual, Zhang Jianghe felt a little relieved.
