Hu Pingtao rushed into the room quickly.

At this time, two strong men in overalls had already walked up to the young man opposite, looking ready to take action.

"What are you doing?" Hu Pingtao shouted sternly: "You want to fight, right? Do you want me to call the hospital now and ask for an ambulance to come and wait?"

In one sentence, both parties to the dispute were calmed down.

A tall middle-aged man in his forties or fifties wearing a woolen jacket glared at Hu Pingtao and asked: "You are a policeman, right? What are you yelling about? You called an ambulance... What do you mean?"

"

This man spoke very rudely and was obviously in the same group as those in work clothes. Hu Pingtao became angry when he heard this. Before the matter was clear, the other party kept saying that he knew the leaders above. What he hated most was

This kind of person.

"Aren't you going to hit someone?" Hu Pingtao simply pulled a chair from the side and sat down, staring at him coldly: "Hit him! I'm watching!"

"It's too easy to enter the detention center, but if you think about it, it's easier to get in than to get out."

"This is a society governed by law. You are very courageous! You even dare to threaten the police. Who do you think you are?"

The middle-aged man felt ashamed at Hu Pingtao's series of words. With a ferocious look on his face, he strode up to Hu Pingtao and gritted his teeth and said, "You're just a little patrolman, why are you dragging me here? I'll give it to you now."

Call your director and ask him to take care of you."

Hu Pingtao was not afraid and said calmly: "Let's fight! I want to see who you know. There are many bureau chiefs above me, including those from the district, the city, and the province.

We are all bureau chiefs, big and small. Let me tell you, some things cannot be said carelessly. It is best not to do things like using a tiger's skin to make a big flag, otherwise it will end badly."

The middle-aged man glared at him fiercely, took out his mobile phone and quickly searched for contacts: "Do you think I'm scaring you? Director Kong of your Gudu District, that's my brother."

Hu Pingtao was stunned for a moment.

Kong Weiyun?

It shouldn’t be! Kong Weiyun is indeed the director, but his reputation is very good, and I’ve never heard of him having such a younger brother?

Thinking of this, Hu Pingtao took out his mobile phone and dialed Kong Weiyun's number in front of everyone.

The call was quickly connected. Kong Weiyun's voice was very low, as if he was covering the phone: "Hello, who is this?"

Hu Pingtao turned on the speakerphone: "Kong Bureau, it's me, Hu Pingtao."

"Oh! I heard it. What's the matter?" Kong Weiyun asked on the phone.

Hu Pingtao said bluntly: "I received a case transferred from the 110 command center that someone was making trouble here in the Mining Building. I took Long Xu and Cui Wen to the scene to deal with it. There is a person here who said he was your brother and he threatened

I said I would ask you to punish me and threatened the parties involved with violence."

"My brother?" Kong Weiyun was obviously stunned on the other end of the phone. He then lowered his voice: "I'm in a meeting. Just wait for me and I'll come out and speak slowly."

Nearly half a minute later, Kong Weiyun's voice rang on the phone again. He must have left the venue and came outside. He spoke much louder than before: "Tell me, what's that person's name?"

Hu Pingtao looked at the middle-aged man standing opposite and asked, "Did you hear that? Our director asked for your name."

The middle-aged man's expression was obviously stagnant, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment and answered: "My...my name is Bao Jinsong."

"He said his name is Bao Jinsong." Hu Pingtao repeated to the phone.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Kong Weiyun's confused voice came: "I don't know this person!"

Hu Pingtao turned on the speakerphone, and Bao Jinsong became anxious when he heard this. He rushed forward in three steps and two steps at a time, held Hu Pingtao's cell phone and shouted loudly: "Kong Bureau, it's me! Old Bao, you forgot

Well, at the beginning of the year, Section Chief Liu of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau and we had dinner together at the fish shop in the west urban area."

The phone continued to be silent.

After a few seconds, Kong Weiyun's voice came from the phone: "Hu Pingtao, are you there?"

"Yes." Hu Pingtao replied.

Kong Weiyun said: "You put the phone away, and you can call Long Xu, or Cui Wen, whoever they want, find a secluded location, and I will tell you about this."

Hu Pingtao pulled Long Xu outside the room: "Kong Bureau, we are out, please tell us!"

Kong Weiyun's tone was very solemn, even mixed with a bit of seriousness: "I know this Bao Jinsong. He didn't lie. We did have dinner together, but it was just for dinner, nothing else."

"At the beginning of the year, Mr. Liu from the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau treated us to a normal gathering. It was an ordinary gathering. There were six people at that time. Bao Jinsong was brought here by Mr. Liu. I just had a meal with him, and he added mine.

WeChat, nothing else.”

Hu Pingtao understood clearly: "Qiu Bureau, what do you mean, this Bao Jinsong is just an acquaintance with you, not your friend?"

Kong Weiyun said "hmm" and continued: "We are treating guests to dinner. I can't control who will come. In fact, my relationship with Lao Liu is not so good, and I didn't even drink alcohol that day. There is a ban on it.

, you can eat, but smoking and alcohol are restricted.”

Hu Pingtao understood the meaning of Kong Weiyun's words and smiled deliberately: "Kong Bureau, but this Bao Jinsong's statement is different from yours! Before we entered, we heard him threatening each other outside and saying that he would

Beating people to death. We rushed in and stopped him on the spot. He also said that he knew you and wanted to call you to ask you to punish me."

Qiu Wei was annoyed when he heard this: "What nonsense? How could he be like this?"

Long Xu was a person who didn't take things too seriously. He quickly moved to his cell phone to add fuel to the fire: "Director Kong, Mr. Hutou really didn't talk nonsense. I was listening right next to him! That man named Bao said you were his brother."

"Nonsense!" Kong Weiyun also lost his temper and cursed on the phone: "Listen carefully, I have no friendship or contact with this person...I...I don't even know him."

After hearing this last sentence, Hu Pingtao couldn't help laughing, covering his mouth and laughing.

Kong Weiyun was obviously anxious, so he spoke without hesitation.

In fact, when you think about it, it’s normal. He just nodded and handed over, then turned around and started bluffing in his own name, and the target of the threat was the police... This would make everyone turn against him!

Kong Weiyun's angry voice came from the phone: "Hu Pingtao, listen to me. I'll say it again, Bao Jinsong has nothing to do with me. I don't know him. You can handle the case how you want to handle it. Don't worry about it."

My side."

Hu Pingtao answered loudly into the phone's microphone: "Yes!"

…

Back in the house, Hu Pingtao asked Cui Wen to continue turning on the law enforcement recorder. He strode up to Bao Jinsong and said coldly: "Bureau Kong said, he doesn't know you."

Bao Jinsong suddenly became anxious: "How can we not know each other? We ate together, he...he is really my brother!"

Hu Pingtao was too lazy to listen to his ramble: "Please show me your ID card."

Bao Jinsong glared at him: "What are you going to do?"

Hu Pingtao raised the notebook in his hand: "Register the identity information of both parties involved."

The young man standing opposite the desk quickly took out his ID and handed it over: "Officer, this is my ID card."

Hu Pingtao took it.

His name is Zhang Rongqiang, a local.

After registering, Hu Pingtao raised his head and glanced at Bao Jinsong: "Where's yours?"

Bao Jinsong opened his mouth and swallowed the curse words that were on his lips.

He still understood the principle that a good man should not take the immediate losses. He originally wanted to use Kong Weiyun's name to handle this matter, but he didn't expect that Qiu Wei didn't recognize him at all, which made him very embarrassed.

However, what Kong Weiyun said was the truth - it was just a meal, the two parties added WeChat, and rarely talked about each other. The relationship was very dull, so it was reasonable for Qiu Wei not to recognize him.

He glumly took out his ID card and handed it to Hu Pingtao.

After registering the information of both parties, Hu Pingtao raised his head: "Tell me, why did you quarrel?"

Bao Jinsong pointed at Zhang Rongqiang and told him with gritted teeth: "He is not a kind person. He just turned around and fucked me up after what he had promised. I...I lost hundreds of thousands!"

Zhang Rongqiang stood there calmly and sneered sarcastically: "Mr. Bao, I should be the one to say this, right? It's obviously you who broke your promise, so why are you throwing dirty water on me? Haha, you are not kind.

"

"Besides, your loss has nothing to do with me!"

Hu Pingtao, who was listening nearby, was confused for a while. He frowned and interrupted Zhang Rongqiang: "In this way, you will state what happened separately. You come first."

"Okay." Zhang Rongqiang's attitude was very respectful, his voice was clear, and his words were very organized: "I work in the project department of a mining group. Because of my work, I often come into contact with some engineering projects. Some of them can be outsourced, and some of them can be reported through WeChat Moments.

If you go out, as long as the other party is qualified and passes the review of the superior department, you can basically enter the venue."

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao nodded slightly. This is actually an open secret. Although the main business of the mining company is related to mining, it also involves engineering construction and other aspects. Large projects must be digested by the group company itself. As for those

Piecemeal small projects are basically outsourced, and then an intermediary fee is charged.

Zhang Rongqiang continued: "I entered the industry after graduating from a technical secondary school. I have been in this circle for several years. I am very clear about all the rules and regulations. I have a special relationship in the company and know many people, so I often

As long as I sell the relevant information, I can collect the relevant fees."

Hu Pingtao understood what he meant: "In other words, you often introduce engineering projects to others and collect commissions?"

Zhang Rongqiang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes."

He raised his finger and pointed at Bao Jinsong, who was standing opposite: "In April this year, a friend invited me to dinner and said that a boss wanted to take over the curtain wall project of the Provincial Capital Grand Theater. He knew about my relationship with Party A.

Yes, let me introduce you. As long as you can come to the site for construction, my cooperation will be indispensable."

Hu Pingtao couldn't help blurting out and asked: "The Provincial Grand Theater? Hasn't it been moved? I drove there a few days ago, and the main construction is almost complete."

Zhang Rongqiang said: "The main project and the curtain wall are connected together, and the cost of the curtain wall project is very high, more than 9 million yuan and nearly 10 million yuan."

"I went there during the dinner that day and met the Bao Jinsong Bao boss at the dinner party. He told me that he had been doing labor work in other places before, but now he has found a company with a name and wants to branch out and work alone.
