Chongqing after nightfall cannot be compared with the bustling Shanghai. Most places in the city are pitch black after nightfall. Under the fruit tree in the backyard of the military camp, Tang Cheng sat on a stone bench with a leisurely expression. Beside him, a group of veteran police officers headed by Zhao Dashan sat beside him. They hadn't seen each other for more than two months. Zhao Dashan and others did not leave the military camp after get off work. They had been waiting for Tang Cheng to return from the bureau's official residence, and everyone gathered in the backyard of the military camp.
"If you have anything you want to say, say it now! We haven't seen each other for only two months, maybe you have changed your temper!" Tang Cheng knew that Zhao Dashan and the others must have something to tell him when they wait until this moment. A cigarette was half smoked, but no one spoke, so Tang Cheng grinned. "If you don't tell me, then I'll go back to sleep!" Tang Cheng pretended to get up and leave. Only then did someone from Zhao Dashan and others finally speak.
The first one to speak was naturally Zhao Dashan, "Captain, the city has changed a lot in the days when you have been away. The police station and the garrison seem not to want to offend anyone, and there has been a lot of chaos in the market. Although our side We also tried our best and arrested some people, but the labor camps outside the city were already overcrowded. The military commanders have also been saying that we are not doing our job properly, and they also said that if we here may abolish the establishment..."
Zhao Dashan was one of the first group of veteran police officers to follow Tang Cheng. Although he had not finished speaking, Tang Cheng already understood what Zhao Dashan and the others had been waiting for him to do. With a slight smile on his face, Tang Cheng put out his cigarette butt in the ashtray. After looking around at everyone's expressions, Tang Cheng spoke. "I just came back today, so I don't know the situation in the city yet! You have been working with me for a long time, so you should know my style of doing things. I never comment on things you don't understand!"
Tang Cheng's words made Zhao Dashan and others' faces darken. They all thought that Tang Cheng would say this because he already had other places to go. "But one thing, I know very well. At least so far, I haven't heard the news that the search team is going to be abolished!" The fact that Tang Cheng went to the bureau's official residence after get off work could not be hidden from Zhao Dashan and the others. After arriving at Tangcheng and seeing these words, Zhao Dashan and others looked at the unhappy expressions, and their originally depressed mood jumped out of the valley in an instant.
As long as the search team will not be abolished, the jobs of these people can be saved, and supporting their families will naturally not be a problem. "Okay! If there's nothing important, let's all go back and rest! If there's anything else, we'll talk about it tomorrow! I just hope you don't complain tomorrow!" Having seen what Zhao Dashan's purpose is, Tang Cheng doesn't want to continue to follow They wasted time and immediately got up and drove Zhao Dashan and others who were sitting under the fruit tree out of the backyard of the military camp.
Zhao Dashan and others were relieved after receiving a definite answer from Tangcheng. Early the next morning, at least half of them brought breakfast to Tangcheng. Tangcheng couldn't afford so much breakfast, so he gave the extra to the children of his family in the backyard. After breakfast, Tang Cheng did not choose to go out or talk to Zhao Dashan and the others. Instead, he had all the information compiled in the past two months sent to his office. Tang Cheng chose to read through the files alone in the office.
Not only Zhao Dashan and the others were surprised by Tang Cheng's abnormal behavior, but even Zhang Jianghe rushed to Tang Cheng's office to see what was going on. Seeing that Tang Cheng was just looking through the files of the past two months, Zhang Jianghe did not ask or disturb Tang Cheng, and Tang Cheng did not give an explanation. The whole morning, Tang Cheng stayed in his office, quietly looking through the files. It was not until lunch time that Tang Cheng told Zhang Jianghe that he would take someone out in the afternoon.
Tangcheng spent the whole morning to judge from the files how far the security environment in the city had deteriorated. But if you want to specifically judge the degree of deterioration, you still need to see it with your own eyes to make a correct judgment, so Tangcheng chose to go out in the afternoon and walk around the city. When Tang Cheng left the military camp after lunch, he only took Zhao Dashan with him, but both of them carried pistols and IDs with them.
"The most chaotic place in the city is the pier area. There are too many outsiders, and conflicts often occur at the pier." After entering the city, Tang Cheng and Zhao Dashan chose to walk. Compared with more than two months ago, the population in Chongqing has increased significantly, but the chaos in the streets is even worse than before. Seeing this, Zhao Dashan explained to Tangcheng while walking. "It seems that the police department is severely understaffed, so many things in the city are turned a blind eye by the police department."
When Tang Cheng heard this, he didn't say much. If Zhao Dashan hadn't already been accustomed to Tang Cheng's temperament, he might have thought that Tang Cheng was not interested in what he said. Tang Cheng and Zhao Dashan had only walked two blocks when they witnessed three fights, several thefts, and even a robbery of property on the street. Tang Cheng didn't make any sign, and Zhao Dashan was naturally happy to be a spectator. The two of them mingled in the crowd, but it took a long time for the police to show up.
The situation in Chongqing city has actually gotten so bad. This is something I never expected before Tangcheng came out. There are many gangs in the Shanghai Concession, and there are also many troubles. However, the Concession Patrol Office will not turn a blind eye to behaviors that disrupt the market like the Chongqing Police Department. "It's time to rectify things!" What he saw in front of him reminded Tang Cheng of what the bureau said to him in the bureau's official residence last night.
Throughout the afternoon, Tang Cheng walked around the city and took a look. Compared with the chaos in the city, the stores that Tang Cheng had established in the city were in relatively good operating conditions. At least these stores still had the task of collecting street news. Continue. After returning to the military camp, Tang Cheng immediately went to see Zhang Jianghe. Zhang Jianghe had been waiting for Tang Cheng's arrival all afternoon. "Except for walking around all afternoon, you should now have a clear understanding of the situation in the city, right?"
Tang Cheng, who sat down opposite Zhang Jianghe, did not answer Zhang Jianghe immediately. Instead, he slowly opened two packages of braised meat bought from outside and placed them in front of Zhang Jianghe. "The situation in the city has indeed reached a point where it must be managed!" Tang Cheng raised his head and looked at Zhang Jianghe, his eyes full of Zhang Jianghe's familiar vigor. "I only walked a few streets in the afternoon, and I saw no less than a dozen fights, thefts, and robberies!"
"Zhao Dashan told me that it is because the immigrant population continues to increase and the police station is short of manpower that these things happen frequently! I would say that the chaos on the streets is indeed due to the police station, but this It's not because of insufficient police force, but the inaction of the police department that has caused all of this. According to my judgment, the number of refugees going south to escape the chaos may continue to increase. Therefore, if we cannot control the situation now, what will happen to the city in the future? The situation here will only get worse.”
As a middle-level military commander, Zhang Jianghe naturally had better access to so-called confidential information than ordinary people, so what he said to Tang Cheng would not be considered alarmist at all. "Could it be that you have the same idea as the bureau, and want to use thunderous means to rectify the market?" Zhang Jianghe's expression remained unchanged, he reached out and picked up a piece of braised meat and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing slowly, he asked Tang Cheng a question Sensitive question comes.
"There are still a lot of wastelands outside the city. We just need to build a few more labor reform farms! Some things must be done with thunder and clearing holes to see results. If it is just a big thunder and a small rain, wait for those who cause trouble. The guy climbed up to the backstage to support him, and he will be too big to fall off!" Tang Cheng's attitude was very tough, and in front of Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng would not hold anything back, so he would naturally say whatever he had to say. What.
"It is good to sweep the acupuncture points with thunder, but if you do this, you will offend many powerful people! You have to think about it!" Zhang Jianghe said worried words, but looking at his expression at the moment, he didn't have any worries at all. Take it seriously. Zhang Jianghe's unintentional expression made Tang Cheng couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly. Based on Tang Cheng's understanding of Zhang Jianghe, he knew that his thoughtful uncle must have had an idea for a long time.
"When I was walking around the city in the afternoon, I already found a breakthrough point. The area at the dock is said to be the messiest, but it also involves the most interests. So we can't attack the dock first. I want to rectify the south of the city first. There are areas in the south of the city. A guy named Qiao Mazi, it is said that he has dozens of people under his command, so he is a good target." The Qiao Mazi that Tang Cheng was talking about at the moment was the first target targeted by the search team at the store in the city.
Tangcheng chose this Qiao Mazi as a target, not because Qiao Mazi formed a gang to disrupt the market order, but because this Qiao Mazi not only engaged in gambling and forced prostitution, but also privately started a black market business of reselling arms and tobacco. The most important thing is that Qiao Mazi has the support of the military, so the Paoge forces in the city can't do anything to him. If Qiao Mazi is targeted, as long as he is successfully defeated, other forces in the city will naturally calm down a lot.
In other words, this Qiao Mazi is the chicken in Tangcheng's trick of killing chickens and frightening monkeys, and the other forces in Ercheng are the monkeys that Tangcheng frightened. Tang Cheng said Qiao Mazi's name. Zhang Jianghe did not agree or object. He just happily ate the braised meat that Tang Cheng brought back. Tang Cheng did not ask further questions, let alone ask Zhang Jianghe to express his position. The uncle and nephew just sat facing each other and ate the braised meat in silence in a tacit understanding.
Early the next morning, Tang Cheng convened a meeting with Zhao Dashan and others. The content of the meeting was only one, how to eliminate Qiao Mazi's gang in the shortest possible time. The return of Tang Cheng means that the veteran policemen like Zhao Dashan are the happiest, because the return of Tang Cheng means that their search team will be strong again. Sure enough, when they heard that they were going to take action against Qiao Mazi's gang, Zhao Dashan and the others all looked happy.
