This is an ordinary courtyard house. In addition to two police cars parked in the yard, there are more bicycles parked in a disorderly manner in the carport.
Jiang Xinyu stepped into the reception room.
"Who are you looking for?" a policeman asked.
Jiang Xinyu pulled a chair and sat down, saying, "Did you arrest a man named Tong Dakui?"
Police: "What do you do?"
Jiang Xinyu took out his ID and threw it on the table, then lit a cigarette.
Seeing the words "Military Commission Investigation and Statistics Bureau", the policeman quickly closed the ID card, stood up, handed it back with both hands, and said respectfully: "Captain Jiang, please wait a moment, I will check it for you right now."
He turned around and picked up the phone, dialed a few numbers, and said, "Old Qin, among the people you captured, are any of them named Tong Dakui?"
"Yes, that guy is dishonest, I'm going to fix him!"
"This person is very important, don't mess around!"
"Why does it matter if you can't knock it out with a stick?"
The policeman whispered: "Captain Jiang from the military command is in the reception room now, and this Tong Dakui has something to do with him!"
"Yeah?"
"Well, if you come to my place, Captain Jiang will definitely have something to ask you."
"Okay, okay! I'll be there soon!"
The policeman put down the phone and said to Jiang Xinyu: "There is indeed a man named Tong Dakui."
Jiang Xinyu flicked the ash into the ashtray twice and said, "What did he commit?"
"I'm not sure...Oh, Sheriff Qin will be here soon. You can ask him about the specific cases he handles."
Jiang Xinyu nodded.
After a while, a policeman with a drunken face opened the door and walked in.
"Old Qin, this is Captain Jiang from Juntong Yanjin Station!" the policeman in the reception room introduced.
Lao Qin bowed and saluted and said: "Captain Jiang."
Jiang Xinyu: "What did Tong Dakui commit?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I defied the smoking ban and bought tobacco for smoking."
"You mean, Tong Dakui smokes a lot?"
"Yes."
"Is it true?"
Jiang Xinyu knew that some policemen framed and framed people in order to receive rewards for their own merit, and it was as common as a common occurrence.
Lao Qin: "This afternoon, my subordinates raided an underground opium den and arrested four smokers on the spot, including Tong Dakui..."
"Did he admit it?"
"I admit it. Tong Dakui said it was his first time, but his friend is a long-time smoker."
"What's his friend's name?"
"Li...Li Aiguo! Yes, Li Aiguo!"
Six months ago, Jiang Xinyu discovered that Li Aiguo had this hobby. Unexpectedly, he got even worse and dared to secretly smoke during the smoking ban period. It seemed that his addiction was really quite big.
Jiang Xinyu thought for a moment and said, "That's it. There is a case involving Tong Dakui. I want to take him away, is that okay?"
"Of course." Lao Qin murmured in his heart: Guys like Juntong have to find a high-sounding reason to get people!
Nowadays, selling cigarettes is a serious crime, and the penalties for smokers are not very harsh.
Although there are specially built drug rehabilitation centers in Pingjin and Tianjin, they are already overcrowded and it is impossible to send all addicts there. The main punishment method is fines.
A few minutes later, Tong Dakui was brought out, looking like he was withering and drooping.
Jiang Xinyu looked at him and said, "Let's go!"
Tong Dakui hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Jiang, I want to ask you something."
"What's up?"
"Can you please not tell the lady why I was arrested..."
"Why?"
"Because of smoking, the lady and the master had a quarrel. If she knew that I also... the lady would be very angry."
"If you promise not to smoke again, I will promise you!"
Tong Dakui immediately raised a hand and said solemnly: "There is a god three feet above my head. I, Tong Dakui, swear to God that I will never touch smoke again!"
Jiang Xinyu: "I will tell Miss Tong that you came in because of a fight. Just don't let it slip!"
Tong Dakui bowed and said, "Thank you!"
Jiang Xinyu stood up and walked out. Chief Qin saw him off and said, "Captain Jiang, please walk slowly and just say something if you need anything!"
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while, stopped, took out a stack of large bills from his briefcase, put his hand back on the table, and said, "It's a small thing, buy a pack of cigarettes for the brothers!"
Sheriff Qin smiled with a smile on his face and said repeatedly: "How can this be so embarrassing? How can I accept your money? It's so ridiculous..."
Jiang Xinyu: "I have also been a policeman and know the rules. Take it. We can't let everyone work in vain!"
Sheriff Qin chuckled and said, "Then I'll thank you on behalf of the brothers!"
Just a few steps out of the police station, Tong Dakui slapped his forehead and said quickly: "Mr. Jiang, I almost forgot, I have one more thing to ask you."
Jiang Xinyu: "You really have a lot to do, tell me quickly. Miss Tong is still waiting in the car. She may be impatient by now!"
Tong Dakui hesitated and said, "Can you take my friend out with you?"
Jiang Xinyu: "Are you talking about Li Aiguo?"
"yes."
"Dakui, tell me first, why did you enter the opium den?"
"I have a headache today. Ai Guo said that if you take two puffs of cigarettes, all diseases will be cured. You don't have to worry about addiction once or twice."
"So, do you think there is such a friend?"
Tong Dakui lowered his head and said: "The patriotic man was very kind to me. It would be a bit unjust to leave him alone."
Thinking of Li Xiance under Jiuquan, Jiang Xinyu's heart softened. He turned back to the police station and said to Chief Qin: "There is another one named Li Aiguo..."
Sheriff Qin reacted quickly and said: "He is also your informant? Please wait a moment and let him go immediately!"
We haven’t seen each other for a few months. Compared with the time when he first came to Yanjin, Li Aiguo was almost a different person. Although he was very thin at that time, he was in good spirits.
Now his complexion is sallow, listless, and his current moral character is very close to that of a heavy smoker.
After leaving the police station, Jiang Xinyu said: "Li Aiguo, how much money can you make in a month?"
"No, not much." Li Aiguo was not stupid, he understood what Jiang Xinyu meant.
"Don't tell me it's you, there are many wealthy men who ended up losing their homes and leaving their wives and children because of this. Have you never heard of these things that are talked about in the streets?"
"I've heard about it... I was curious at first, but then I couldn't control myself. If I don't take two puffs a day, I'll feel sick all over!"
"Where did you get the money?"
"Borrowed...I smoke the cheapest junk, and I can barely survive...Captain Jiang, I promise, I will stop smoking in the future! Definitely!"
Seeing Li Aiguo's vowed expression, Jiang Xinyu sighed helplessly and said, "I hope you can do it!"
