"Old Wang, why do you have such a big opinion against Hu Pingtao? Have you known him before and had issues with him?"

Wang Dong's face turned slightly red, his voice was louder than before, and he opened his mouth to deny: "Where are you thinking? It's nothing."

"Then I don't understand. Why do you keep staring at him?" Liu Guangbei spread his hands and said patiently: "Neither of us saw anything wrong with the car last night. If Hu Pingtao hadn't

The car was stopped for armed inspection, and this batch of drugs went in. Think about it, more than 300 kilograms, worth tens of millions! Our mission is to control drugs and protect the country. Just like the goalkeeper of the football team, when he sees the ball

Fly over and try to block it at all costs."

Wang Dong looked embarrassed when he was told that, and he was a little angry: "Old Liu, you know I don't mean that, I just talk about the matter. No matter what, young people are inexperienced, you have to admit it, right?"

Liu Guangbei smiled and exposed him: "I know what you are thinking. Chu Guofang is an old man at our border inspection station. He has been here for decades and is still a captain. Lao Wang, you are almost retired. You

I want to take this opportunity to get Lao Chu to take over your position, right?"

Now that the matter has been discussed, Wang Dong simply stated his attitude: "You are right, I just want Lao Chu to take over. Lao Chu is fifty-two this year, and he will retire after a few more years of work, so why can't you give it to him?

Up one liter? What you said just now is correct. Chu Guofang is on the station.

Old man. Before I was transferred from the police station, he had already worked at the border inspection station for several years. In terms of experience, I can't say that. Lao Chu ranked second, and no one in the station probably dared to rank first. To say that he was doing the right job.

Due to his serious and responsible attitude, Lao Chu has been rated as excellent for several years in a row.”

"More than ten years ago, when armed drug traffickers were arrested, Zhang Tianshun led the team, and Lao Chu followed him to set up a traffic jam in the east. That night, the other party drove a car to force the traffic jam, and was stopped by a preset roadblock. Those drug traffickers opened fire

The gun was fired, and Lao Zhang died on the spot, and Lao Chu had two fingers blown off by a grenade. This must be the first contribution in our station!"

Liu Guangbei sighed and said kindly: "I know all what you said, and I have it in my mind! But Lao Wang, these are the rules. Lao Chu worked at the border inspection station at that time, not as a police officer

, but a temporary recruit who came through the general recruitment examination. If he had not made great achievements in arresting armed drug traffickers and was injured, the higher-ups would never have given him this official establishment."

Wang Dong was very stubborn: "Yes! Since he has an establishment and is a formal police officer, why can't he be the deputy station chief?"

Liu Guangbei said seriously: "Whether you are appointed or not depends on the arrangements of your superiors. Lao Chu's biggest shortcoming is his diploma. He only has a high school degree. Although he has trained at the police academy for several months, he is still not qualified. Do you think I

Don't you care about his affairs? I have always advised him to enroll in a high school if he has time, even if it is an online education. But Lao Chu always said that he is old and has no intention of studying... Tell me,

He’s like this, what else can I do?”

"When the old stationmaster was here, he had already obtained enough benefits for Lao Chu. Why do you think Lao Chu became the captain? How did he get the treatment of deputy section level now? We are not blind, Lao Chu

His contribution will not be forgotten. But if things are reversed, and whoever insists on clinging to this point and relying on his old age to sell off his old age is truly putting the cart before the horse."

"The capable people in this world are not just the few you see, there are many, very powerful people. Let's talk about what happened last night! Even if we are not there and Lao Chu is on duty, do you think he can see it?

Is there any problem getting out of that car?”

Wang Dong lowered his head after being told that he wanted to admit defeat, but he was somewhat unwilling to do so.

"I...I have no objection to Hu Pingtao." After a long time, he raised his head and said with a sullen look on his face: "I just think the superiors treat people unfairly. I have been working diligently at the border inspection station for so many years, why can't I give him a raise?"

Mention it? The system is dead, but people are alive, not to mention..."

"That's enough! There's something wrong with your idea." Liu Guangbei's tone suddenly became serious: "Who goes up and who goes down, promotions and demotions, there are regulations, and they must be done according to the procedures. I know you and Lao Chu

We have a good relationship, but this cannot be a reason for you to prefer him. Although Hu Pingtao is young, he is down-to-earth and hard-working, and he is also very good. You have to see the advantages in him instead of worrying that he will perform too well and take someone else's position.

.”

His words struck a chord with his heart. Wang Dong wanted to refute, but couldn't find the right words. He could only lower his head, glumly, and said unwillingly: "...I...I didn't think so..."

"It's okay if you don't! I know you're not so narrow-minded." Liu Guangbei laughed and patted him on the shoulder. He never took advantage of the other person verbally, nor did he let the other person get off the stage with his words. He always spoke with affection.

Face, be good to each other.

…

At noon, Hu Pingtao handed over his shift and walked towards the cafeteria.

More than 300 kilograms of drugs were seized last night. According to normal circumstances, this should be the biggest result of the border inspection station this year.

In the early morning, the stationmaster Liu Guangbei specially told the canteen: buy more vegetables and provide extra meals for everyone at noon and evening today.

Three dishes were added at noon: pork ribs stewed with winter melon, pineapple fried meat, and braised chicken.

The canteen also bought a batch of mangoes. In tropical areas, this fruit is available all year round and has a very sweet taste.

As soon as Hu Pingtao walked into the restaurant, he saw Zhang Qingbao and Zhang Qingjia walking towards them with smiles.

They are two brothers and the captain and deputy captain of the fifth team.

Zhang Qingbao is the eldest, and there are two younger brothers in the Zhang Qing family, named Zhang Qingwei and Zhang Qingguo. All four of them are policemen. The difference is that Zhang Qingwei works at the police station and Zhang Qingguo works at the prefectural level.

Four brothers, but not quadruplets.

"Xiaohu, come on, come on, sit here." Zhang Qingbao was very enthusiastic and pulled Hu Pingtao to sit down at an empty table. Zhang Qingjia greeted him and turned to go to the window to serve rice and dishes.

"You did a great job." Zhang Qingbao gave Hu Pingtao a thumbs up and praised him repeatedly: "I slept deeply last night, and I didn't know about this until I woke up this morning. I just went to the warehouse to see, these people are very attentive.

! Even the macadamia nuts are like this. They must have spent a lot of money on packaging. Now it’s fine, all the money is lost...hahahaha!"

Police and drug dealers are natural enemies.

Zhang Qing's family brought three portions of food, and he deliberately placed the one with the most meat in front of Hu Pingtao.

Fried meat with pineapple is a local specialty, sweet and sour, tender and juicy.

Hu Pingtao was quite surprised. He raised his chopsticks in the air, looked at the two Zhang brothers sitting across the dining table, and said hesitantly: "Brother Zhang...this...isn't appropriate!"

Zhang Qing's family obviously brought an extra dish and put it all on the plate in front of him.

Although the webmaster Liu Guangbei said it is a snack, there are rules for snacks. Each person can get a normal amount of snacks. If you want more, you have to spend additional money.

Hu Pingtao was new here and got to know the two Zhang brothers, but their relationship with them was not so good that they were familiar with each other. At most, they just nodded and said hello to each other when they passed by.

There are hundreds of people at the Xiluo Border Inspection Station, and it will take some time to get to know them one by one and call them by name.

Zhang Qingbao was tall, with very dark skin, and his arms were much thicker than Hu Pingtao's. He was truly a tiger with a strong back and a strong waist. He smiled "hehe" and tapped Hu Pingtao's plate twice with his chopsticks: "You're welcome, this meal is mine."

of."

Zhang Qing's family also said next to them: "I have seen the duty schedule. The day after tomorrow is the weekend and we are not on duty. In the evening we went to a nearby village to drink together. There is a restaurant there, and the ghost chicken and cow are cooked very authentically."

Hu Pingtao quickly declined: "How can this be done? I just came here and am a newcomer. If you want to invite someone, I have to invite you. How can it be the other way around?"

Zhang Qingbao smiled and said: "Everyone is paid to eat, and I don't just invite anyone. You are different. For the heroin seized last night, I have to treat you to a drink no matter what."

Hu Pingtao asked strangely: "Why?"

Zhang Qingbao took a big mouthful of rice and said vaguely: "I like to deal with people like you who do things carefully. Brother, I am already in my forties, so I just call you "Little Tiger". It's not too much."

?”

Hu Pingtao smiled and said: "Of course it's not too much. I have to call you Brother Zhang."

Zhang Qingbao was overjoyed: "That's right. Remember, it's just this weekend, let's drink and we won't come home until we get drunk."

From beginning to end, the Zhang brothers never mentioned why they wanted to invite Hu Pingtao to dinner and drinks. The three of them just ate and talked about other topics until the lunch was over. They had to be on duty in the afternoon, so they said hello and left the canteen.

Half an hour later, Liu Guangbei called Hu Pingtao to the webmaster's office.

He smiled all over his face: "Xiaohu, this case has been reported to the provincial department. You should sort out the information as soon as possible. The provincial department will send people down to start the investigation at the latest the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Hu Pingtao nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Webmaster, there is something I want to ask you."

Liu Guangbei said: "Say it!"

"Do you know Zhang Qingbao and Zhang Qingjia?"

"Of course I know you."

"The two brothers invited me to dinner today and made an appointment to drink together on the weekend. I am new here and I am not familiar with the people and things here. Bureau Xiong said that if you encounter problems, please ask the webmaster for advice. If it is normal

Eating and drinking, that's nothing, but I'm not familiar with them, so I don't know..."

Before Hu Pingtao finished speaking, Liu Guangbei waved his hand and said with a smile: "So that's it. Haha, you don't have to worry about this. Zhang Qingbao and the Zhang Qing family have no ill intentions. They said they wanted to invite you to drink, but they really just wanted to drink.

.”

After a pause, Liu Guangbei continued: "Xiaohu, don't have any ideological baggage, and don't think about people too complicatedly. I know these four children of the old Zhang family. Their father, Zhang Tianshun, was also at the border inspection back then.

Station work. That year, drug traffickers were arrested and died in the line of duty. The two children of the Zhang family swore to their father's portrait that they would become police officers and fight against drugs for the rest of their lives."

"I was also present at the time..."

"The reason why Zhang Qingbao and Zhang Qingjia asked you to have a drink is because you seized the batch of drugs last night. These two brothers are very simple. They believe that only people who are really down-to-earth and work hard are worthy of friendship."

Hu Pingtao was thoughtful and nodded slightly: "So that's it... Stationmaster, please tell me about their father!"

Liu Guangbei pondered for a moment and said slowly: "In 1996, the border inspection station was not separated from the police station. When a case came up, both sides would work together to support each other. Zhang Tianshun was the deputy station chief and police station at that time.

The deputy director is usually busy at both ends and cannot take care of his family."

"We received a tip that day that drug dealers from overseas came in with weapons. Back then, everyone had a mobile phone, and such top-secret information could not be sent through a BB machine. It could only be sent manually.

It needs to be verified, reviewed, and authenticated... By the time the news was finalized and delivered to us, it was already past six in the evening."

"The informant reported that the border crossing time was nine o'clock in the evening. Lao Zhang and I quickly led people to the designated location to lurk."

"Xiaohu, you led the patrol. This mountain, especially at night, is really not a place for humans. All kinds of bugs bite you like crazy, but you can't make a sound, and you don't dare to scratch too hard. The skin is broken.

Not to mention the infection, if it attracts the attention of drug dealers, it will really be a failure."

"Some people on the Internet are now saying that it was a lie that Qiu Shaoyun was burned alive in a fire while lying in a snowdrift during the Volunteer Army. Huh... let's just talk about Lao Wang, deputy station chief Wang Dong, who was next to me at the time.

Later, I discovered that there was a ditch there. His legs were soaked in the water and he was stung by more than a dozen locusts. That damn thing

As you know, you can't pull or pull it after it's attached. You can only sprinkle salt on it and let it come out on its own. But at that time, we were busy with the mission, and no one could come out with the salt. When the mission was completed, we returned to the station.

, many of the leech on Lao Wang's body have got inside, leaving only a tail on the outside."

"The conversation got off track, let's continue talking about Lao Zhang! The intelligence report that time was very accurate, and the drug dealer entered the ambush circle. Generally speaking, when we are fully prepared, we insist on capturing him alive. Lao Zhang was at the forefront that day, no matter what

When the other party reacted, he pushed the drug dealer down and just as he took out the handcuffs to arrest him, I suddenly smelled a strong smell of gunpowder and screamed quickly."

Hu Pingtao listened very carefully and asked attentively: "Didn't you shoot?"

Liu Guangbei understood what he meant, nodded and sighed: "It's a grenade... Drug traffickers are all desperadoes. They know that once they are caught, they will die. People die for money, and birds die for food! It was late at night

, nothing could be seen in the dark, and the flashlight was very blurry. No one noticed that the drug dealer pulled out the ring of the grenade while being pressed down."

"The "smell of gunpowder" I yelled alerted everyone. People around me fell down one after another, but the distance was too close. The killing radius of that kind of grenade is more than fifteen meters, and all of us are almost within ten meters.
Chapter completed!
