Jiang Xinyu reached out and picked up the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
"Captain Jiang, I am Zhao Yuhu."
"What's up?"
"Brother Biao was arrested by the police station!"
"When did this happen?"
"yesterday afternoon."
"Which police station?"
"Red Bridge."
"If you go to Sheriff Huang, just say I asked you to go..."
"I've inquired about it. Brother Biao's matter is not a big one. The deputy director is personally supervising the handling. He has spoken out, but no one can intercede!"
"It's not that the deputy director doesn't want to let him go, he just offered a big price!"
"what is it now?"
"Where are you now?"
"At the winery."
"At one o'clock in the afternoon, bring more money and go to the police station to wait for me!"
"good!"
Jiang Xinyu knew very well that if he caught a "fat sheep" who ran a winery, the deputy director would not let him go easily. He would have to kill him several times before he could stop!
After lunch, Jiang Xinyu drove to Hongqiao Police Station. Zhao Yuhu was waiting at the door early, carrying a black suitcase in his hand.
"Captain Jiang, you are here."
"Did you bring the money?"
Zhao Yuhu patted the suitcase and said, "It's all here."
Jiang Xinyu nodded, walked toward the police station, and said, "Have you seen Chief Huang?"
"I saw it. Sheriff Huang said that even if he goes there, it won't work. You have to take action yourself..." Zhao Yuhu followed step by step.
Arriving outside the door of the deputy director's office, Jiang Xinyu reached out and knocked on the door, "Dudu!"
"Come in!" said a lazy voice in the room.
Jiang Xinyu pushed open the door and walked in, followed closely by Zhao Yuhu carrying a suitcase.
Seeing that the visitor was Jiang Xinyu, the deputy director hurriedly stood up to greet him and said with a smile on his face: "Hey, it's Captain Jiang here. Please take a seat!"
After sitting down, Jiang Xinyu was not polite and went straight to the point, saying: "I am here today to bail Zhang Jinbiao!"
The deputy director said in surprise: "Captain Jiang knows Zhang Jinbiao?"
"He is an informant for the Secret Service."
"oh……"
"A big case has fallen on Zhang Jinbiao. It wouldn't be possible without him. Please help the deputy director!"
The deputy director pinched his teeth and looked embarrassed, and said: "This matter is very difficult. Zhang Jinbiao made fake wine. According to the laws of the Republic of China, he will be sentenced to at least three years in prison..."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "The taste and quality of those wines are very good. I don't think they are fake wines. They are imitations at most!"
The deputy director shook his head and said with a smile: "Captain Jiang, it's not that I don't help, it's just that this matter..."
Jiang Xinyu coughed lightly, and Zhao Yuhu understood, put the black suitcase on the table, and said: "Deputy Director, this is the fine paid by Zhang Jinbiao."
The deputy director opened his suitcase and took a look. There was a box full of large-denomination banknotes. He quickly closed the box and said, "Since Zhang Jinbiao is an informant from the Secrecy Bureau, I might consider opening up..."
Coming out of the deputy director's office, Zhao Yuhu whispered: "The old guy obviously just wants to collect money, and he acts like a businessman..."
Jiang Xinyu said calmly: "He is protecting himself. If something goes wrong in the future, he can use these reasons to excuse himself!"
"Alas, in all these years, I have never seen an upright and honest official!"
"Human nature is like this, and it's the same when you sit in this position."
"Can?"
"Be more confident and remove the word "?"
Both of them had worked as police officers at the Hongqiao Police Station and were familiar with the environment. They made two or three turns to the backyard, which was a temporary prison for detaining prisoners.
The sergeant in charge of prison guarding was named Chen. He was also a veteran policeman from the Wang Puppet era. When he saw Jiang Xinyu coming in, he said politely: "Captain Jiang, long time no see."
Jiang Xinyu said: "Old Chen, you can be regarded as the elder of three dynasties in Hongqiao!"
Chief Chen said with a wry smile: "I have no choice but to make a living here..."
He had already received a call from the deputy director. Knowing that Jiang Xinyu was here for Zhang Jinbiao, he took out a bail document and handed it over, saying: "Captain Jiang, just sign it."
After signing on the gem tree, Jiang Xinyu looked around and said with emotion: "I have been away for so many years, and this place has not changed at all."
Chief Chen said: "The appearance has not changed, but the inside must be different."
"Oh, is it so?"
"How about you come in and visit?"
"good!"
Jiang Xinyu didn't think much and followed Chief Chen into the prison.
The prison was dimly lit, with a long passage in the middle and cells with General Iron gates on both sides. It was indeed different from the Wang Puppet period, and at least the sanitary conditions were better.
Walking along the passage, Chief Chen held a bunch of keys in his hand and said to Jiang Xinyu as he walked: "How do you feel?"
"It seems different. It smells like disinfectant." Jiang Xinyu raised his nose and smelled it.
"The plague is prevalent in Dagu, and the prison has also taken preventive measures. In addition to applying medicine and sterilization every day, the prisoners also take regular baths..."
Let's talk about it. When we came to the door of a cell, Sergeant Chen found a key, put it in the keyhole, opened the iron door with a click, and said loudly: "Zhang Jinbiao, come out!"
Zhang Jinbiao sat up, quickly came to the door, and said in surprise: "Captain Jiang, you are here."
Jiang Xinyu said: "If I don't come, how can you get out?"
As he spoke, he looked around aimlessly and saw a gloomy-looking Zheng Guangyao sitting in the cell opposite, staring at him intently.
Seeing Zheng Guangyao's unkind gaze, Chief Chen walked over, knocked on the iron door with his baton, and shouted: "What are you looking at! Look again, and I'll send you on your way tomorrow!"
Zheng Guangyao lowered his head and sat in the corner without saying a word.
After coming out of prison, Jiang Xinyu said: "Old Chen, is that person Zheng Guangyao?"
"Yes! That's him!" Lao Chen turned around and locked the door.
"Didn't you say that you would be transferred to Jinbei Prison?"
"The order from above suddenly changed, and it was said that there was no need to transfer him. Three days later he was shot in public at Caishikou!"
Jiang Xinyu said nothing more. He felt a little uneasy. There was an indescribable emotion in Zheng Guangyao's eyes when he looked at him just now.
After leaving the Hongqiao Police Station, Zhang Jinbiao said: "Captain Jiang, let's go directly to the Ying Tower to celebrate and get rid of the bad luck!"
Jiang Xinyu lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said, "You go ahead, I've eaten it."
"Don't mention it, we can't have a dinner without you..."
"There is something else happening at the station this afternoon."
"oh……"
"Biaozi, taking advantage of others is not a long-term solution after all. It's time to turn to a more serious career."
Zhang Jinbiao sighed and said in frustration: "Yes, the police station, the inspection office, the plainclothes brigade, including that golden tiger, are always looking for trouble... But if you don't do this anymore, what are you doing?"
Jiang Xinyu thought for a moment and said, "I'll still work in a winery, but this time I'll make real wine!"
