Jiang Guihua is responsible for the main operation. From last year to now, the total amount involved has exceeded 200,000 yuan.

The economic investigation team quickly sorted out the case, and Shi Hongwei submitted a report to the provincial department as soon as possible.

Strictly speaking, the amount involved in the case is not large, but the social impact it has caused is very bad.

Landlords who were forced to pay liquidated damages still have lingering fears and do not dare to rent out their houses easily. They are picky about renters, causing many quarrels.

There are also some landlords who persist to the end. Those who rent according to Jiang Guihua’s instructions are of course unwilling to give up. They make noise in the rented houses and cause various neighborhood disputes. Police officers from the community and the local police station come to mediate many times, and they are tired of coming and going.

Unbearable.

In response, the provincial department issued a special reply: This is a typical new type of crime and must be dug deep into the source.

The economic investigation team received praise from superiors.

Shi Hongwei did not dare to take credit and quickly explained: This was a clue provided by Hu Pingtao, a policeman from the Eryuan Road Police Station.

…

A week before the Chinese New Year, Hu Pingtao received a call from Xiong Jie, asking him to come to the bureau.

Xiong Jie took him to the director's office.

Looking at Hu Pingtao standing in front of him, Qiu Wei, director of Gudu Branch, couldn't help but smile: "It's better to be famous than to meet him. Young man, you are very energetic! Haha, don't stand, sit down."

Hu Pingtao followed his instructions and sat down on the chair opposite the desk.

"I came to you today because I have something I want to talk to you about." After his simple opening remarks, Qiu Wei put away his smile and said seriously: "Comrade Hu Pingtao, I have an urgent task for you now."

Hu Pingtao was stunned and subconsciously turned his gaze to Xiong Jie, who was sitting diagonally opposite. The latter also looked at him and said in a serious tone: "Xiaohu, you have to make your own choice. This matter is confidential. If you are willing to accept it, Director Qiu

Only then can I tell you the content of the mission. If you refuse, you can leave now."

Hu Pingtao fell into thinking.

Xiong Jie had never spoken to himself in such a tone.

Qiu Wei is the director and directly assigns tasks to himself, which shows his importance.

He asked seriously: "Will the mission last long?"

Xiong Jie glanced at Qiu Wei and received permission from the other party's eyes. He turned around and nodded to Hu Pingtao: "It can be as short as half a year. If it's longer... it's hard to say."

Hu Pingtao asked again: "Can't you contact your family?"

Xiong Jie continued to nod: "This is the basis for executing the mission."

Hu Pingtao's question is not over yet: "Didn't you say before that I would be transferred to the Xiluo Checkpoint? Why, is this a temporary assignment?"

A glimmer of appreciation flashed in Qiu Wei's eyes: "Xiaohu, you are very smart. Yes, this is indeed a temporary task. You have not agreed to accept it, so I can't tell you the details. The only thing I can reveal is that this task is extremely dangerous.

, it is very important to our Yunnan Province and the whole country."

Hu Pingtao guessed something: "Drug-related? Overseas drug trafficking?"

Xiong Jie did not give an answer: "In addition to you, there are three other candidates. If you ask me, they are the most suitable candidates to carry out this mission. But now something has changed. It seems that you are the most suitable.

Suitable."

Hu Pingtao's brain was working rapidly. He quickly compared various details and asked seriously: "Is it because of the language? I can speak French and Vietnamese? Or is it because of my expertise in art and music?"

"No, it shouldn't be the latter, but because of the language. Which one specifically? Let me think about it, French is unlikely, and English is not like... a sudden situation involving overseas drug trafficking... just because I can speak Vietnamese, so

Choose me to carry out this mission?"

Xiong Jie glanced at him helplessly, turned to Qiu Wei, and sighed: "Look, what I said before. Let me tell you, there is no need to be so formal, just call him over and give the order.

This guy is so smart, he can guess the right answer with just a few words. We were very tight-lipped, and we didn't say a single extra word, but he still got through to the end."

Qiu Wei was a little embarrassed, but his expression was more of relief and satisfaction. He looked at Hu Pingtao: "Are you willing to accept this mission?"

"Yes." Hu Pingtao sat upright without any hesitation.

Qiu Wei nodded with satisfaction, opened the drawer, took out a large brown paper bag, and handed it to Hu Pingtao: "We have conducted a comprehensive competency review on you before, and there are no problems with your political review. This is a preliminary review of the task.

Introduction, you can read the general introduction first, and someone will explain it to you in detail later.”

Xiong Jie said: "This information cannot be taken out, you can only read it now. You can call home later and I will send a car to take you directly to the base for two weeks of special training at noon."

As he said that, Xiong Jie lowered his head and glanced at his watch: "If you have anything to do, call now, including your girlfriend. After the call, hand over the phone."

Hu Pingtao suddenly became a little nervous.

Although he was mentally prepared to perform the task, he did not expect that the discipline would be so strict.

He took out his cell phone and dialed his parents' numbers respectively.

Father Hu Chong answered first: "I understand. As a grown-up like you, you know what you should do. You don't need to report to me. Always remember your identity and your responsibilities."

Mother Li Jinglan expressed her understanding of this, but was a little worried: "What about your marriage?"

Hu Pingtao comforted her with a smile: "I'll do it after I come back."

Then it was the turn of my sister Hu Biyuan. She sighed on the phone: "From the time you went against your father and chose the police career, I knew that this day would come. I won't talk nonsense. Anyway, we should put everyone first, then the family and so on.

If so, my dad has been nagging us since we were young, and our ears are full of calluses. You can make up your own mind about your own affairs. Let me ask you one thing: What should Linlin do?"

Regarding this question, Hu Pingtao has already thought of the answer: "We have already obtained the certificate."

"Get the certificate? Do you think that red book can tie someone up for life?" Hu Biyuan sneered at this: "Linlin is a good girl, I like it very much. If you were someone else, I would really look down on you. I am not against you.

It’s a task, but at least you split your time. The banquet hasn’t even been held yet, so you abandoned me and couldn’t even make a phone call. What do you want Linlin to think?”

Hu Pingtao said firmly: "I will call her to explain."

"Then you must arrange things well." Hu Biyuan said seriously: "The rear is stable, so you won't panic outside."

Hu Pingtao said seriously: "Sister, it will take me a long time to go out this time. I have to take care of my parents."

Hu Biyuan snorted coldly: "You don't need to say this. Are you going to tell me next that you even covered your wife?"

Hu Pingtao smiled: "Sister, you love me the most."

"Fuck you." Hu Biyuan spat on the phone, and then her tone became worried: "You have to be careful when you are alone outside. It is not easy to be a police officer. Avoid danger when you encounter it. Don't go there stupidly.

Upward."

Hu Pingtao quickly comforted: "I know, I listen to you."

"You know what the heck!" Hu Biyuan was suddenly a little angry: "It's all Xiong Jie's fault. If he hadn't asked you to be a policeman, there wouldn't be such messy things today. You come to my group to be a department manager.

How great, the income is high, and you can also use your skills to your advantage."

Hu Pingtao glanced at Xiong Jie, who was sitting opposite, and felt layers of cold sweat dripping from his hair. He lowered his voice and said, "Sister, Uncle Xiong is also kind-hearted."

Hu Biyuan didn't accept this trick at all: "That old man is not a good person. Let me tell you, don't listen to his lies. Our dad has said it more than once, drinking can reveal your character. Xiong Jie always cheats when he drinks.

It's obviously a pound, but you can only drink three taels at most. You have to be careful, don't let him sell it and help you count the money."

Hu Pingtao hesitated for a few words and hung up the phone.

Here, Qiu Wei couldn't help it and laughed loudly: "Old Xiong, I didn't expect you to have such an image in the eyes of other girls. I said why I can't drink you every time I drink. It turns out this is yours

It’s the usual method, it’s an old trick.”

Xiong Jie's face was like a black pot, and he felt like there was a huge invisible black pot covering his head.

Hu Pingtao started to call Su Xiaolin.

"Are you going out on business?" Su Xiaolin's voice sounded a little unhappy, mixed with a strong element of coquettishness: "How long will it take for you to go?"

"At least half a year." After hesitating for a moment, Hu Pingtao added: "...maybe even longer."

"Why is this like this?" Su Xiaolin screamed in surprise on the other end of the phone. She immediately controlled her emotions well and her breathing became rapid. The anger that just emerged from her heart was instantly crushed and extinguished by the huge worry.

.

"...You...are going on a mission?" She was very smart and quickly guessed the answer.

"Yes." Hu Pingtao answered seriously.

She was silent for a few seconds and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"Now." Hu Pingtao knew that this was a cruel answer, but it was the truth that must be told.

Su Xiaolin bit her lower lip hard: "You can't even stay for one more day... no, half a day? Let's have dinner together in the evening, I want to see you."

Hu Pingtao sighed: "Military orders are like mountains."

On the other end of the phone, Amelia Su's eyes suddenly turned red: "When will you come back to marry me?"

"I'll come as soon as the mission is over." Hu Pingtao said softly. He knew that he had to coax his beloved woman at this time: "I have your seal on me, and we also received the certificate. You are already my wife.

The wedding banquet is just a formality."

"The wedding banquet is more important than the marriage certificate, okay?" Su Xiaolin still pouted. She wanted to tell Hu Pingtao about the mysterious man sending flowers, but she felt that now was not the time to talk. Not only would it not have the desired effect, but it would also

It will add psychological burden to Hu Pingtao.

After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath and returned to her usual cheerful and cheerful tone: "Go ahead! I will take good care of myself."

Hu Pingtao felt that the big stone in his heart was slowly falling, and he no longer worried: "I called my sister. If you need anything, just ask her."

"I know..." Su Xiaolin deliberately dragged out the last syllable to make it sound awkward: "It would be better if you weren't here! Sister Biyuan and I go shopping, eat, drink coffee, watch movies every day...
