This girl's name is Zhuang Chi, and Song Lan has had some dealings with her before.
Last time, in order to get the salary increase document that the section chief finally applied for to be stamped, he prepared a pack of homemade dried fruits as a gift. The person who contacted him at that time was Zhuang Chi.
But, the last time we met, Zhuang Chi was still a serious girl.
As for now...
"Come, let me inspect the goods first."
Entering a small conference room, Zhuang Chi cautiously closed the door, locked it, and after double-checking that no one was around, he lowered his voice and spoke.
Faced with her abnormal behavior, Song Lan hesitated to emphasize that the gift bag did not contain some kind of small white pills.
In the end, he handed over the gift bag without saying a word.
Next, Zhuang Chi showed extremely professional skills in front of him. She untied the string used to seal the gift bag, opened a gap in the gift bag, inserted her index finger and thumb and gently took out a section and cut it. braised beef.
She put the braised beef in front of her nose and sniffed it gently. She was so intoxicated that even a bunch of black hair on the top of her head swayed slightly in rhythm.
After about a few seconds, she reluctantly put the braised beef into her mouth, biting lightly with her teeth.
"very good."
Zhuang Chi stuffed the gift from Song Lan into the inner pocket of his clothes with satisfaction, "If you want anything, tell me."
"What a ghost, what are you doing?"
Under the influence of the atmosphere, Song Lan unconsciously lowered her voice. After looking around and confirming that there were no cameras in the conference room, she couldn't help but ask.
After Zhuang Chi's series of mysterious operations, he began to wonder whether the stuff he sent out was braised beef or small white pills disguised as braised beef.
"Inspection."
Zhuang Chi said matter-of-factly, "What you gave me is good stuff, so it must not be known to others. Once you are exposed to those greedy bastards..."
At this point, she realized that she had made a mistake and changed her words, "Anyway, as long as you understand what I mean."
"To be honest, I don't quite understand."
"The dried fruit gift package you brought last time contained 4 pieces of dried strawberries, 6 pieces of dried bananas, 5 pieces of dried apples, and 10 pieces of raisins. Counting the section chief, there are 47 people in our department. In this way, you You should understand, right?"
Zhuang Chi's face was filled with pain.
She has always been unwilling to recall that unbearable past.
That afternoon, she gained a deeper meaning to the old saying "It's essential to be on guard against others."
Because the most common sentence she heard at that time was "Xiao Zhuang, this looks good, let's have a piece."
She only had time to taste a piece of dried strawberry before the gift bag was empty, so that she still doesn’t know what dried bananas, dried apples, and raisins taste like.
Squeeze it!
No matter how good-tempered a person is, after encountering something like this, he will be tempted to use foul language.
"From that day on, I made up my mind that I would never let those people... know that I had received a gift."
Song Lan met Zhuang Chi's eyes, those eyes that can only be seen after experiencing the ups and downs of life.
From that day on, she grew up.
"I was shocked. You just acted like you were dealing in illegal drugs."
"Illegal drugs?"
Zhuang Chi had a question mark on his face, "Can't the illegal drugs just be placed on the table in the storage area?"
All right.
Song Lan almost forgot that this was the headquarters of the law enforcers of District 17. The small white pills collected from various places were piled on the table downstairs without anyone asking for them.
"Actually, I came to you today to inquire about something. I heard that most of the rewards posted in District 17 need your hands, right?"
"To be precise, the reward is less than 500,000 watts. Any higher will make him a felon wanted by the coalition government."
500,000 watts.
Song Lan pursed his lips. This was not worth as much as firewood.
"Does your department have a list of felons with more than 500,000 watts?"
"Yes, there are, but there are only two bound volumes. One is in the hands of our section chief, and the other is in the hands of Director Lu... Why are you suddenly interested in this thing?"
"Isn't it because Chai Ke's case has caused panic recently? I plan to print a list and put it on the wall of the office so that they can be careful when they go home."
"Pfft——"
Zhuang Chi laughed out loud when he heard Song Lan's plan.
"If you think too much, those felons won't be able to block you on your way home."
Zhuang Chi's statement was conclusive, but Song Lan felt that her statement was not reliable.
Not long ago, he was blocked on his way home by a felon who had a bounty of 620,000 watts on his head. He had a sack put on his head and a gun pressed to the back of his head. He was really scared to death.
Unfortunately, it was impossible for him to tell his unfortunate experience to refute Zhuang Chi.
He got an important piece of information from Zhuang Chi - the Chief of the Statistics Section and Lu Xiang each held a list of felons with more than 500,000 watts. Song Lan firmly believed that the good brother whose name was not yet known was among them at the moment. A roster is waiting for him.
"That's it. It seems like I'm overthinking it, so I won't disturb your work."
"Wait a moment."
Zhuang Chi stopped Song Lan, who gave her a package of "high-quality goods". She felt uneasy about sending her away with just one sentence.
"Although the bounty of more than 500,000 watts is not set by us, the arrest warrants issued by the coalition government will pass through our hands. If you are interested, I can give you some popular science knowledge about felons... Take Chai Ke For example, let me explain to you the origin of 620,000 watts."
…
After Zhuang Chi's careful explanation, Song Lan had a more comprehensive understanding of the initial treasure she knew...the criminal Chai Ke.
Only then did he realize that the gold content of 620,000 watts did not only come from Chai Ke's 21% prosthetic implantation level, but more importantly, from the criminal smuggling gang he had established.
Any goods that want to be transported to the "outside world" through the 17th District, or that want to be laundered and returned to the 17th District through the "outside world" need to go through Chai Ke's hands.
And these goods also include people.
In fact, Lu Xiang had mentioned this to him before, but he didn't continue.
Before Lu Xiang parachuted into the 17th District, Chai Ke was equivalent to a local snake in the 17th District. It would not be an exaggeration to describe his status in the 17th District as an underground emperor. The business he handled involved certain parties in the coalition government. On the other side of the family's property in the border area are felons who have been entrenched in the "outside world" all year round and cannot be punished even by the laws of the coalition government.
In a sense, Chai Ke and the criminal group he runs are equivalent to a communication bridge between certain large families and serious criminals from the "outside".
Although Zhuang Chi didn't say it explicitly, he quickly came to such a conclusion based on the hints in her words and Song Lan's experience in the past few days.
If we follow this line of thinking, sanctioning Lu Xiang of the Chaike Group will become a bridge-breaker.
And that mysterious huge force is about to emerge.
The Foster Family.
Because, on the day the Chai Ke case occurred, Anjie Foster was not a hostage, but the person who gave orders to Chai Ke.
This pack of braised beef is really worth it!
"Now you understand, those real felons have no time to deal with little characters like us."
Zhuang Chi blinked at Song Lan and summarized the conversation between the two, "Remember, you only came to me today to talk about work matters, and you never gave me a gift."
