Li Pingbo was even more surprised: "You were sure she was a drug addict at that time?"

"How is that possible?" Hu Pingtao shook his head and said: "It was just a guess at the time, because after several types were eliminated, this was the one closest to the truth."

"Why?"

"To put it bluntly, drug addicts are rats who avoid the sunshine of society. Regardless of trafficking or purchasing, having drugs is a crime. Drug addicts dare not disclose it to the public and can only hide."

There was no movement in the bathroom, and Li Pingbo was a little worried: "Xiaohu, the real owner has been found, but why does the woman stay in there and doesn't move?"

Hu Pingtao raised his head and glanced at He Ying who was standing diagonally opposite, sighed, and asked: "Your daughter must have a long history of drug abuse. She is seriously addicted and takes a large amount in a single time."

As he said that, he turned to look at Li Pingbo who was sitting next to him: "If my estimate is correct, Jiang Mei should have smoked methamphetamine last night. The dose was so high that her brain was unclear and she tore the garland on the wedding car.

Excessive use of drugs will make your body feel hot, and you will only feel comfortable if you soak in cold water. This is called "loose ice"."

Suddenly, He Ying, who was standing opposite, covered her mouth with both hands and sobbed silently. She leaned against the wall and slowly slid down, curling up until she collapsed on the ground.

Hu Pingtao and Li Pingbo walked over quickly and helped her to the sofa.

"I really don't want to do this!" He Yinglao burst into tears: "She became addicted to drugs more than ten years ago, and I have been helping her hide it from outsiders."

"At that time, she had a fight with her boyfriend and went to the bar with others. I didn't pay attention at the time. Later, she went more often, and after she came back, her whole person changed. When she first started smoking, I watched her mix heroin in it.

She put the tobacco in the tobacco, wrapped it in paper again and smoked it. I scolded her at that time and gave her a few slaps. But it was useless. She ran out and refused to see me. When she came back more than a month later, she didn't use the tobacco.

Now, just peel off the tin foil from the cigarette box, shake the powder on it, scrape it into strips, and inhale directly with your nose."

"She broke up with her boyfriend and found several other men outside. Those people were not good people at first glance, but there was nothing I could do. No matter how much I tried to persuade her, she refused to listen. She quit her job and stayed at home every day.

Go to bed, put on makeup and go out at night. Drink, smoke... I know she is doing business outside. What mother would want her daughter to degenerate like this? I hit her and scolded her, but she just wouldn't.

Listen, you come back to me and ask for money."

"My husband died early, and my family has little savings. She has been smoking these years, and all her savings have been spent long ago. I have to give her more than half of my monthly pension. Usually I don't even dare to buy meat.

, the remaining money is only enough to buy rice. There is a hot pot restaurant on South Fourth Street. I often go there and ask the boss for some leftover hot pot base ingredients from the customers. I bring them back and cut them into pieces after cooling them.

I picked up vegetable leaves from the vegetable market and cooked a bowl of them for every meal, and I lived like this for several years."

"I have been helping her hide it. If you police find out, they will be arrested and sent to a drug rehabilitation center."

Seeing the gray-haired He Ying crying and out of breath, Hu Pingtao felt pity. He took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, opened it, handed it over, and sighed: "What are you doing!"

Failure to report the information and cover-up will only form a vicious circle if this continues."

"I...I really can't help it!" He Ying sat on the ground and cried loudly: "I am her mother, and I am just a daughter. If she disobeys, I can only persuade her. I can't just watch her being raped.

Catch him and suffer."

"That's compulsory drug detoxification." Hu Pingtao sighed and shook his head: "It's for your daughter's benefit to suffer. Look, your house is bare, without even the most basic electrical appliances, and the furniture is old from many years ago.

Damn, is this kind of life interesting?"

He Ying's face was stained with tears, and the tissue was soaked with tears: "I have to take care of her! She was messing around outside. She used to stay up at night. Later, she was injured by a man outside. She did it several times in a row.

Artificial abortion. She is afraid, and so am I, so now I have to go home no matter how late I play."

Li Pingbo advised from the side: "Old lady, now the whole society is against drug abuse. If you hide your daughter at home like this, you are actually harming her."

Hu Pingtao also advised: "You can't handle this kind of thing alone. You have to rely on the community and street offices, and everyone."

He Ying cried and said: "Actually, Mei Zi also wanted to get better. She tried many times to quit, but it didn't work every time. I tied her with a rope and tied her to a chair. She was like crazy.

She jumped up, hit her head against the wall, and bit her tongue. I had no choice but to untie her and watch her take out the spare white powder from the bag..."

Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door outside.

Opening it, Zhao Li arrived with another auxiliary police officer.

A few minutes later, people from the anti-narcotics brigade also arrived.

An acquaintance, Kong Chengli.

Zhao Li went into the bathroom, checked Jiang Mei's condition, and then found some clothes for her to cover her upper body. Kong Chengli went in with instruments and did a simple blood test on Jiang Mei.

"Deeply addicted..." The test was done in the living room outside. Kong Chengli shook his head: "The amount of smoking is too much. I haven't woken up until now, and I'm still throwing ice. I'll wait and see, it's really not possible.

You have to be sent to the hospital.”

Zhao Li had nothing to do about it: "The skin was so soaked that it became wrinkled."

Kong Chengli said to He Ying: "Your daughter's life is not in danger at the moment. Go in and fish her out! Stop soaking. Put some clothes on her and lie on the bed to sleep for a while. She will probably not recover until night."

When Zhao Li and He Ying got the person out of the bathroom, Hu Pingtao saw Jiang Mei's face.

He was very thin, with deeply sunken cheeks, abnormally protruding cheekbones, dull eyes, and white lips. If his hands, feet, and limbs were not trembling rhythmically, he would have looked like a lifeless corpse.

Hu Pingtao saw Jiang Mei's ID card that He Ying took out. She is twenty-nine years old, but her appearance is similar to that of a forty-year-old woman.

Looking at Zhao Li and He Ying who were busy in the bedroom, Kong Chengli said to Hu Pingtao: "Don't look at this woman who is very calm now and can't even move while lying on the bed. In fact, her mind is very messy.

It's an hallucination. The central nervous system has been suppressed and paralyzed for a short time. We can only wait and recover before we can regain consciousness."

Hu Pingtao asked: "You mean, she went crazy last night?"

Kong Chengli nodded affirmatively: "After taking it, she will have a confused consciousness. I'm afraid she doesn't even know what she is doing. This woman has been addicted for a while, and it is rare that she can still find her way home."

Hu Pingtao looked very complicated: "What to do next? Hand it over to your anti-narcotics team?"

Kong Chengli said: "Yes. I will go back to the police station with you later to go through the handover procedures. Later I will notify the detoxification center to pick up the person, and I will also file a record with the subdistrict office. Detoxification is a long-term activity, and both the subdistrict and the police station are responsible.

Supervision. But looking at the current situation, this woman wants to get rid of her drug addiction..."

He clasped his hands, shook his head, and said nothing more.

Hu Pingtao asked: "Should we be able to use Jiang Mei as a breakthrough to catch the person who sold drugs to her?"

"If you're referring to the little guy below, it's not difficult."

"If you're talking about people manipulating the drug trade, it's difficult."

Kong Chengli explained: "Drug distribution is like a big spider web. If you want to work backwards from the people responsible for distribution below to find out the third and fourth levels online, this process is very complicated. These dogs who sell drugs are bastards.

Well, their group is divided into different levels. Each distribution leader usually has two hundred grams of drugs in his hand, and will be given to him after he sells them. The leader has a single line of contact with the person specifically responsible for selling, and if he is cautious, he may even add a

Handlers. In this way, the leaders above will be safer. Even if the people selling fans below have problems and are caught, it will be difficult to trace them."

"Two hundred grams, how long can this be sold for?" Hu Pingtao asked.

"Two hundred grams refers to pure goods. After mixing, it is at least more than one kilogram. When we usually sell it, a pack of 0.5 grams costs 150 to 200 yuan. There are many people in the middle who handle it, and the profit of the people above it is

Bo. But based on the cases we have investigated over the years, the drug dealers who are really sitting in the middle of the spider web would rather make less money and ensure safety."

"If we work our way up the drug addicts, most of the time we can only catch the gangsters in distribution." Kong Chengli looked grim: "Think about it, there are so many people in the drug rehabilitation center, if all the clues they provide are useful,

It would not be so troublesome for us to search, and there would be no such thing as a "national anti-drug campaign". No matter whether it is abroad or within the country, drug trafficking is a harmful activity. People who make this kind of black money know this, so they are becoming more and more savvy.

It’s getting harder and harder to deal with.”

In the bedroom, He Ying sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her daughter Jiang Mei whose body was trembling all the time, and burst into tears.

She was very tired after hiding it for so many years.

Now that she could no longer hide it anymore, the police came to her door. She felt more relaxed than ever before, and also felt extremely strong regret and loss.

Seeing this scene, Hu Pingtao couldn't bear it, and asked Kong Chengli in a low voice: "How will the drug rehabilitation center handle a situation like Jiang Mei's?"

"You know Li Song, right?" Kong Chengli did not answer directly.

"know."

"The situations of Jiang Mei and Li Song are different. To be honest, the recovery rate of drug addiction is almost zero. Li Song can control it better because he discovered it early. He himself also took drugs unconsciously. He stopped immediately after discovering it and then used other methods to control it.

Auxiliary. For example, smoking, eating sugar, drinking, etc. will do. As long as the brain has the consciousness of replacement dependence, the probability of addiction transfer is very high. Of course, the premise of this is that the drug use time must not be long, and the frequency cannot be too many. "

"It's impossible for Jiang Mei to quit." Kong Chengli sighed and lowered his voice: "Xiaohu, let's talk about this in private: She smokes too much. According to the current situation, even if she enters a drug rehabilitation center,

She probably doesn’t have a few more years to live. Look at her, she’s only in her twenties or early thirties, but based on her appearance, she’s at least twice her actual age. This means that her internal organs have been severely damaged.

, I really don’t know how she has lived these years... Alas, she has been playing outside for too long and can’t come back."

Hu Pingtao knew what Kong Chengli meant by "playing".

To put it simply, it is indulgence.

Plus drugs, anesthesia, and sex.

Some people say that is the source of happiness.

…

When he left the He family, Hu Pingtao had no sense of the previous pleasure of solving a case, nor the satisfaction of peering into secrets and finding out the truth. His heart was as heavy as if tons of steel had been poured into it without knowing when, making him feel like he was breathing.

It was so difficult that I felt tired even walking.

There are too many dark sides in this world. Although the light has been guiding us, there are still people who are desperate and willing to be infected by the darkness.

In times of peace, you don’t feel the cruelty of war, and you don’t have to face life and death.

On the way back, Li Pingbo remained silent.

Hu Pingtao glanced at him and asked, "What are you thinking about."

Li Pingbo opened his mouth, remained silent for a moment, and said slowly: "If one day, my son becomes like Jiang Mei, what should I do?"
