Li Shengbin looked grim: "The scale of this criminal group is very large, far beyond your imagination. Xiluo is just a direction for people to enter. They also have a line in the north and east, namely Wu Kelan and Fei Bingren. Especially

Of the latter, four of the dead we found last time came from the Free Ice."

"This organized large-scale smuggling into the country began two years ago. At the end of last year, Wu Kelan captured his domestic smuggler and reported the case to us. The northern line has been interrupted. The rate for immigrants from the ice direction is

They came in through Gwangju. They held short-term tourist passports, and then these people disappeared. Later, according to our investigation, the two cases were merged into one."

"In March this year, there was a breakthrough in the case. We found the group's farm outside the city and discovered more problems by tracking the vehicles entering and exiting. Xiaohu, the small building you monitored last week was just one of them.

First, it is a very important personnel concentration point, but there are no free icemen, only stowaways coming from the direction of Xiluo."

Hu Pingtao understood what Li Shengbin said: "Now the line on the rate ice is also broken?"

Cao Yong nodded: "We have strengthened the supervision of inbound travelers on the rate ice. This line will no longer be used in May. Your Yunnan Province police did a very good job this time. They captured the local contact person and traced the source.

The smuggling line has been cut off. What we have to do now is to find out the truth as soon as possible and uproot the entire criminal group."

Hu Pingtao stood up: "What do you need me to do?"

Cao Yong was very satisfied with his initiative to ask for help: "Long-term monitoring can easily arouse suspicion, and the identity of the beggar can no longer be used. You have performed well at work during this period. Only the clue "no mobile phone" will provide us with the next step of the investigation."

You have received a lot of help. Next, you will have a new identity and a new position."

…

The night is dark.

The "Gravity" bar was buzzing with people, and the halo of laser light was constantly changing in the rising smoke, casting a large spot of light on the crowded and mixed men and women.

This is a place to release alcohol and hormones. It is very large, with up to three floors upstairs. It has a hollow tower design, and there are six steel staircases between the first and second floors, which are continuously raised and lowered by electronic control.

Connection. The dance floor on the first floor is very spacious and can accommodate hundreds of people dancing. The second floor is a circle of circular private rooms with a completely transparent tempered glass floor.

The air is mixed with a strong smell of tobacco. Men come to such places mainly for excitement, while women mostly come for money. As long as there is alcohol, cigarettes, and strong music, anything is possible.

Wearing a well-fitting bartender uniform, Hu Pingtao stood at the bar with a smile on his face. He placed a freshly mixed cocktail on the counter and pushed it to a scantily clad young woman.

There were not a few pieces of cloth on her body, and her entire back was naked. The bellyband-style shirt was connected to the front and back by a thin rope. Two men with obvious ill intentions were accompanying her, seemingly swaying and dancing to the rhythm of the music.

In fact, he was constantly rubbing back and forth against the woman.

The woman drank too much, but her need for alcohol became more intense. She picked up the goblet, drank the colorful cocktail in one gulp, turned the empty glass upside down, and pushed it directly to Hu Pingtao from the counter, exhaling the smell of alcohol:

“One more drink!”

Hu Pingtao took the empty cup and threw it up with skillful movements. The goblet turned over in the air and landed accurately in his flat palm.

This move was very beautiful, and it immediately aroused bursts of applause from the surrounding people.

"Sorry, you have to pay first." Hu Pingtao stuffed the wine glass into the sundry rack under the counter and said seriously with a sweet smile that barely changed.

These words instantly aroused the woman's anger. She raised her fist and slammed it on the table. Her breath mixed with the stench of cigarette and alcohol almost sprayed on Hu Pingtao's face: "Do you think I have no money?"

Hu Pingtao shrugged his shoulders: "Brother Hong told me that you can only drink three drinks tonight. The one just now was the last one."

When she heard the word "Brother Hong", the aggressive woman suddenly stopped. She stared at Hu Pingtao hatefully and raised her right middle finger at him.

She is Brother Hong's woman.

Brother Hong has many women.

Brother Hong has a wife.

Despite this, Brother Hong is very responsible for his woman and will never allow other men to get involved with her.

This is a very special cocktail. The base liquor is rum and vodka, and a few special ingredients need to be added during the mixing process. This thing is very expensive, and a single cup costs up to 500 yuan.

It is expensive for a reason. This kind of wine will never appear on the menu or drink brands. Only regular customers of "Gravity" and those who are close to Brother Hong know about it.

This woman is very young and very beautiful, otherwise Brother Hong would not have issued the "three drinks per night" rule alone.

She was wearing very red lipstick, and her eyes were full of expectation, but also extremely annoyed. She knew the rules, but it was easy to forget them when she was playing. Of course, if Brother Hong was here, she would never do this. The reason why today

They clamored for the fourth cup mainly because Brother Hong was away and Hu Pingtao was a newcomer.

Bullying the new bartenders and asking for more drinks from them has become an open secret among the many women around Brother Hong.

"I...want wine." She suddenly changed her face and spoke in a low voice. There was an extremely strong temptation in the depths of her eyebrows. She even pulled down her open skirt, revealing an intoxicating scenery.

"Give me another drink, and I'll be yours." She pushed her body onto the counter, and her breasts were deformed by the pressure.

Hu Pingtao watched her performance with a smile: "You give Brother Hong a call, as long as Brother Hong agrees."

The smile froze on the woman's face, and her eyes were dull. For a moment, she slammed the table and cursed: "You're a fool, give me the wine, or I'll ask Brother Hong to chop you to death!"

Hu Pingtao did not argue with her. He turned his head to avoid the spittle spraying from the woman's mouth, picked up the rag and wiped it vigorously on the counter a few times.

The two men accompanying the woman looked at each other, and saw the banter and sarcasm in each other's eyes.

They are Brother Hong's people. On the one hand, they are helping to watch the scene, and on the other hand, they are keeping an eye on this woman.

A few superficial touches doesn't matter, as long as there is no substantial progress.

Although Hu Pingtao is a newcomer, he knows the rules very well.

He walked away from the woman and went to greet the guests on the other side.

A middle-aged man in casual clothes came over, tapped his hand on the bar table, and shouted loudly: "Have a drink."

Hu Pingtao came over quickly and asked respectfully: "What kind of wine do you want?"

The man looked arrogant, raised his finger to the woman not far away, and laughed loudly: "Just the kind she just drank, two cups!"

Women hear everything clearly.

When she turned around, a bodyguard quickly grabbed her arm, but she threw it away forcefully. Wearing high heels and swaying, she approached the man half-drunk and half-awake, leaning her upper body on the bar and stretching out her arms.

He pointed two fingers and said with a giggle: "How can one cup be enough? At least two cups!"

She is indeed very beautiful, and even more charming after drinking.

The man got closer. He felt that he was very sure to catch the prey tonight. So he turned around with a smile and turned louder to Hu Pingtao: "Did you hear that? I want three cups. I'll give it to you now."

I."

A layer of anger appeared on the bodyguard's face, but Hu Pingtao stopped him with his eyes.

"Are you sure?" Hu Pingtao turned to the middle-aged man and asked cautiously: "Please tell me your invitation code."

Only guests approved by Brother Hong can get the invitation code, which is a combination of numbers and letters, specifically used to distinguish regular guests from strangers.

In the "Gravity" bar, strangers can only drink normal drinks.

"What did you say?" The music was loud, and the middle-aged man did not hear Hu Pingtao's words clearly. He turned sideways, hugged the woman's slender waist, with a somewhat impatient expression on his face, and repeated what he had just said: "

Hurry up and mix drinks, three glasses!"

Hu Pingtao smiled faintly.

Without any warning, he suddenly stood up, grabbed the middle-aged man's hand that was lying on the bar, and pulled it in with surprising force.

The middle-aged man was caught off guard and was dragged by this force. His body instantly lost balance and his toes were dragged off the ground. He struggled desperately, screamed repeatedly, and pressed his left hand firmly on the wooden board on the side of the bar. He struggled hard, but was stopped by a man.

The bodyguard rushed over and punched him in the side, causing him to scream in pain.

Hu Pingtao took out an empty wine bottle from the counter, swung it high, and smashed it on the man's arm across the bar. The glass flew everywhere, and his screams became louder and louder.

A discerning person would not take the initiative to seduce such a woman, let alone show off in such an occasion.

Of course, the chance of misjudgment is high.

As long as it can satisfy Brother Hong, Hu Pingtao feels that whatever he does is worth it.

Including the crippled middle-aged man’s arm.

The noise was so great that people nearby gathered around.

Hu Pingtao's attack was extremely cruel, and the middle-aged man's arm expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Watching him scream and slide down from the bar, curling up on the ground like a dead snake, Hu Pingtao stepped on the high teaching stool.

He climbed onto the bar, jumped outside, grabbed the middle-aged man by the collar, lifted him up, and pressed him hard against the wall on the side.

"You dare to touch Brother Hong's woman." He said with a smile, pressing the broken glass bottle mouth into the man's throat.

Seeing this, the bodyguard quickly pressed Hu Pingtao's shoulder, came close to his ear, and said in a very low voice: "A Heng, just teach him a lesson, don't cause any harm to anyone."

"Aheng" is Hu Pingtao's current name. The smile on his face did not change, he nodded slightly and whispered softly: "I have a sense of propriety."

The middle-aged man was frightened. He pressed his back against the wall, fearing that if he went too far and his throat was pierced by sharp fragments, the pupils of his squinting eyes contracted to the extreme, and he trembled and begged: "I don't dare anymore...

…I don’t dare anymore.”

Hu Pingtao smiled, put his hand into the middle-aged man's pocket, and took out a thick wallet.

Although we are now in the era of WeChat payment, many people are still accustomed to using cash. Especially in places like bars, there are many high-rollers who spend a lot of money. Mobile payment is just a number, which is far less intimidating than a large pile of banknotes spread out in a fan shape.

Hu Pingtao emptied his wallet, took away all the banknotes, and finally stuffed the wallet into the man's pocket.

After doing all this, he patted the man's face, which turned pale with fear, with the money in his hand, and said with a smile: "Go away!"

Turning around, he divided the banknote into three, handed it to the two bodyguards, and kept one for himself.

…

early morning.
