"That stuff got confiscated, what are you planning to do? Go back to your hometown in Guangdong?"
"No, someone called me and said they wanted to partner with me in the real estate business!"
"Really? That's a great business! It's the most profitable business right now. Who's in charge? Do I know them?"
"His name is Zhou Chengzhi!"
"ah!"
"What's wrong? Do you know him?"
"We know each other so well, we're neighbors right across the street from each other!"
"A neighbor? Great! I was just wondering how to find him! Let's go! You can ride with me!"
Lin Dongzhe suddenly scratched his head, looking troubled.
Ada thought Lin Dongzhe was afraid he would ride in his car, so he said, "Little cousin, it's been years since we last met, why have you become so stingy?"
"Cousin, it's not that I'm being petty, it's just that my family doesn't get along with Zhou Chengzhi!"
"What's the matter?"
"His wife's name is Wu Shanshan. She always makes things difficult for my parents-in-law. You know, I'm married. My wife's name is Zhuang Xiaoting. She's just a neighbor in the same courtyard!"
Ada, however, disagreed, saying, "Why do you care about his character? The main thing is to make money. If Zhou Chengzhi can do real estate business, we'll cooperate with him. Once we've made money, we'll part ways and never know each other again!"
"Cousin, you don't know, I... I made a mistake recently. My wife is arguing with me and might divorce me. If I continue my relationship with Zhou Chengzhi, I'm afraid my wife and children will leave me!"
"No one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. It's not a reason to get a divorce!"
"Sigh, I'm ashamed to say, I was watching pornographic videos and couldn't control myself, so I... I cheated on my wife, and now she wants a divorce!"
Ada reached out and slapped Lin Dongzhe on the back of the head, making Lin Dongzhe so angry that he wanted to argue with him. He said angrily, "Why did you hit me on the back of the head?"
Ada glared at him and said, "Why do you think I did this? Look at you, so pathetic! I made you watch porn, is that what you're doing? I just wanted you to learn something and have some fun, but I never expected you to cheat on me like this! You've really gone too far!"
Lin Dongzhe then pouted and said, "I know I was wrong, but not now. I will definitely change, change properly, and live a good and happy life with Xiaoting!"
"That's more like it. I hope you and your sister-in-law grow old together and are forever united in heart!"
"Thank you, cousin!"
"Don't be so polite! Since you don't want to take me, I won't force you. You can go now! I'll go by myself in a bit!"
“Cousin, you can go, but you have to be careful. Don’t let my parents see you, or they’ll scold you to death. They’re so good to their in-laws; they’d rather lose me than not have their in-laws. If they find out you’re cooperating with Zhou Chengzhi, they’ll have to tell my aunt. They might even call the police. They’ll put family members aside for the greater good!”
"Alright, thank you, Dongzhe. I understand. If I go to see Zhou Chengzhi, it will definitely be at night, so my uncle and aunt won't see me. Don't worry!"
"Okay, I'll be going now, cousin!"
Be careful on the road!
"knew!"
Furthermore, as soon as Wu Xiaojun arrived at the police station, he learned that Zhuang Zhennan had come to surrender, and the station was bustling with activity. Qin Chuan, who was originally the patrol team leader, also stopped going on patrol.
Wu Xiaojun was an auxiliary police officer. The station chief told him to follow Qin Chuan, so he naturally followed behind Qin Chuan and did whatever Qin Chuan did.
Seeing him frantically trying to do his job but failing to be on time, Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh and say, "Do you know why you're not showing up today?"
Wu Xiaojun, naturally unaware, looked at Qin Chuan with a blank expression and said, "I don't know, Master!"
"Let me tell you, Zhuang Zhennan is part of one of the largest smuggling gangs in our city. Catching him is equivalent to basically eradicating smuggling in our city!"
Does he have that much influence?
"Of course! He not only smuggled electronic products, but also pornographic videotapes. These two crimes combined should get him at least ten years in prison!"
"Ten years? Is that a long time?"
"The charge of disseminating obscene and pornographic videotapes is more serious. Smuggling electronic products only carries a sentence of more than three years and a fine of ten times the tax if the amount exceeds 100,000. Unfortunately, although we seized a lot of items last night, the total value of the goods was only tens of thousands of yuan, and there were no pornographic videotapes among them. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to interrogate him. Therefore, the director is anxious to interrogate him about whether he has other warehouses."
"So, now that he's turned himself in, won't it be even harder to sentence him?"
Qin Chuan nodded and said, "Yes! The amount is less than 100,000 yuan, and since he turned himself in, his crime is even lighter. He might only get a few months in prison and be fined tens of thousands of yuan!"
"Ah! So in the past six months, he's smuggled far more than a million. Isn't it unreasonable to charge him with such a light charge?"
"If that's really the case, it would be like slapping us in the face and then yelling at us while pointing a finger at us!"
"That won't do. We must get justice and fairness from society, otherwise we'll be letting down the people of Suzhou!"
"Then we need to investigate quickly and find more evidence so that Zhuang Zhennan can be severely punished!"
"But the higher-ups have given orders: only the existing seized supplies will be checked; the rest that have already been seized can be left alone!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaojun said, somewhat unable to accept it, "How can that be? Isn't that deliberately letting the suspect go free of charges?"
"Some things can't be said openly, as it might offend the authority of higher-ups!"
"What should we do, Master? We can't just let Zhuang Zhennan get away with this!"
“I don’t want to let Zhuang Zhennan off so easily either, but we already said last time that we should take stock of the existing inventory and not go out to patrol the streets anymore. Ostensibly, it’s to prevent information from being leaked, but in reality, it’s to reduce the suspect’s charges.”
"Master, are we just going to let them get away with it?"
"No. We must find more evidence; we can't let Zhuang Zhennan off so easily!"
"Master, what should I do next?"
"Here's what we'll do: change into civilian clothes and go to Wu Shanshan's movie theater. See if you can find the whereabouts of the videotape. You know, Zhuang Zhennan provided Zhou Chengzhi with all those pornographic videotapes, so if we get this leverage, neither Zhou Chengzhi nor Zhuang Zhennan will be able to escape!"
"Yes, I'll go back and ask Jiang Xiaoyue right away to see if she has made any new discoveries!"
"Alright, I hope you can handle this matter as soon as possible. Whether we win or lose, it all depends on you, Xiao Jun!"
"Don't worry, Master, I will do my best and strive to become a policeman as soon as possible!"
"Go ahead! I'm not cooperating with you this time!"
"Um!"
Wu Xiaojun changed into casual clothes and hurriedly returned to the alley entrance. He saw everyone resting under the big tree at the alley entrance. He wanted to rest under the tree as well, but he was afraid that if someone asked him a question, he wouldn't be able to answer it. So he didn't dare to stay there. When he got home, he found that Jiang Xiaoyue hadn't returned yet. She must be at the movie theater, helping her sister sell movie tickets.
Upon seeing Wu Xiaojun, Wu Jianguo asked curiously, "Xiaojun, why are you back so early today?"
"I'm fine. Oh, right, I wasn't feeling well, so I came back early!"
"uncomfortable?"
Wu Jianguo asked with some concern, "Where do you feel unwell? Is it a headache? Or a stomachache?"
Wu Xiaojun hesitated for a moment before saying, "It doesn't hurt, it's just diarrhea. I've been to the toilet a few times!"
"Then why are your mom and I okay? You must have bought and eaten random things on the way here again!"
"No, I just bought two steamed buns from Aunt Song!"
"Really? Then I have to go and have a word with them. Their steamed buns aren't hygienic!"
Realizing he had said something rash and was about to get into a verbal argument, Wu Xiaojun quickly said, "Dad, don't go! They're all neighbors, it's not worth it, really, don't go!"
"No way! You're a government employee, you can't just suffer in silence like this. I'm going to their house!"
Seeing that a verbal dispute was inevitable, Wu Xiaojun secretly blamed himself for talking nonsense and gossiping.
