Scientists go to caves to explore, criminals go to sewers to explore.

Hong'an County has more than 200 streets and alleys and more than 400 sewer holes. Late one night in 1999, a child who stole a manhole cover encountered an incredible thing - he heard someone talking in the sewer. The child was brave

He opened the manhole cover and hid next to it. After a while, he saw an old man with unkempt hair and a smelly body emerging from the sewer.

We recognized that this old man was Old Man Ding. He and Liu Chaoyang’s many years of tomb robbing career did not bring much wealth to themselves. In 1998, there was an unknown underground drug den in Hong’an County, which Shan Ya was responsible for.

After Shan Ya died, Gao Fei expanded this underground den into a large-scale underground drug factory. Old man Ding and Liu Chaoyang were the people who expanded the underground factory at that time. They met Gao Fei through Kuban and discovered that drug trafficking

It was far more profitable than tomb robbing, so he quickly became a member of this drug gang.

The acquaintance of these people is like one stream of sewage meeting another stream of sewage, they are in the same flow and share the same odor.

The design of the underground factory is very clever. They dug another basement in a basement, which is connected to the sewer. Every wellhead of the sewer in the county is both an entrance and an exit.

Late at night on August 10, 2000, four outsiders came to Xiaojing Hutong in the east of Hong'an County. The further they walked, the narrower the alley became, as if they had gotten into a funnel extended by a pipe. When they arrived at this rather short street,

At the end, they saw a wall, a dead end.

They whispered to each other and waited quietly for something.

"Keep moving forward," said a voice.

The voice was dull, but it appeared next to me.

"Move forward," the voice continued.

They finally understood that the sound came from underground, and they took two steps forward. A man opened the manhole cover from the sewer, waved to them, and they jumped in.

Five minutes later, these four people met with four other people in a secret basement.

These eight people are: Gao Fei, Old Man Ding, Liu Chaoyang, Ku Ban, Zhou Xingxing, Tiezui, Qiu Ba, and Tu Laoye.

Time: August 10, 2000

Location: Hong'an County

Characters: Gao Fei, Old Man Ding, Liu Chaoyang, Kuban, Zhou Xingxing, Qiu Ba, Tiezui, Tu Laoye.

Zhou Xingxing: "Where is this?"

Goofy: "Basement."

Zhou Xingxing: "Where is it above?"

Gao Fei: "It's also a basement above."

Zhou Xingxing: "What's the sound outside?"

Goofy: "Our neighbor."

Old Man Ding: "It's a mouse, a mouse as big as a pig."

Liu Chaoyang: "I am also a mouse, haha."

Gao Fei: "Where is Master Shan?"

Tiezui: "We buried him."

Qiu Ba: "It was Master Shan who asked us to come here."

Gao Fei: "Well, I saw the red cloth strips tied on the tree."

Cuban: "How did you escape from prison?"

Tu Laoye: "Twist the rope and drill into the chimney, haha."

Old Man Ding: "Whoever thought of it, his head is smarter than mine."

Zhou Xingxing: "Me."

Gao Fei: "You alone are worth more than twenty people."

Cuban: "I told you before that you can't force your way in. The Paozi guys are too barbaric."

Gao Fei: "We happen to be short of manpower. Since you are here, let's work together."

Cuban: "We sell white dogs."

Gao Fei: "Let me introduce to you, this is Cuban. He dug a tunnel and dug into the bank, but he didn't make any money."

Cuban: "Haha, bad luck."

Gao Fei: "The other two, Uncle Ding and Mouse, are masters of digging holes and experts in tomb robbing."

Liu Chaoyang: "That was all hard work, now we are businessmen."

Tiezui: "Let me take a few puffs, I can't stand it anymore."

Tu Laoye: "My drug addiction is about to break out."

Gao Fei: "Okay, have you ever killed anyone?"

Tiezui: "No."

Gao Fei: "What about you?"

Zhou Xingxing: "Me neither."

Gao Fei: "Bring that man over."

Old Man Ding and Liu Chaoyang carried a man in and placed him gently on the ground. The man seemed to be asleep or passed out. There was a black plastic bag covering his head, and his face could not be seen.

Gao Fei: "I'll give you the knife and hit him in the stomach."

Zhou Xingxing took the knife and was very hesitant. If he gave up, it would definitely arouse Gao Fei's suspicion. In order to gain his trust, he had to accept the test. The man lying on the ground was motionless. Zhou Xingxing walked over, squatted down, and observed something carefully.

Soon, he stabbed him with a knife. As he expected, it was a dead man. Zhou Xingxing noticed that the plastic bag covering his face did not move at all, which meant that he was not breathing.

Gao Fei said: "Slit open the belly."

Zhou Xingxing opened his belly neatly, and his intestines flowed out. The air was filled with an unpleasant smell.

Gao Fei: "Take out your intestines and see what's in your stomach?"

Zhou Xingxing: "There is a bag of white powder!"

Gao Fei: "This corpse was bought from the funeral parlor. It's safer to transport the goods with the corpse. I'll give you the packet of powder to enjoy!"

Three days later, at 10 a.m.

Zhou Xingxing walked into the Hong'an County Public Security Bureau. A man in police uniform passed by him in the hall. Zhou Xingxing stopped him and said, "Is your director here?"

The man looked at him warily and said, "The director is upstairs in his office."

Zhou Xingxing went upstairs and opened the door of the director's office. The director was sleeping on the sofa, snoring loudly.

"Hey, who are you looking for? Why did you come in without knocking?" The director woke up, sat up and asked.

Zhou Xingxing glanced at him, said nothing, walked straight to his desk and sat down.

The director said: "Go out, is that where you sit?"

Zhou Xingxing picked up the phone and said to him while dialing: "If you want to keep this position, just shut up."

Zhou Xingxing reported the situation he investigated to the "7.17 Prison Robbery Case" headquarters on the phone: Shanya purchased drugs from abroad and then sold them to Sanwenqian in Huacheng and Paozi in Northeast China. The Sanwenqian and Paozi were then sold again.

Wholesale to the downstream, thus forming a huge drug trafficking network. The arrest of Shan Ya was equivalent to cutting off the source of drugs. Paozi from the Northeast gathered a group of bold guys to plan a prison robbery. After Shan Ya was arrested, Gao Fei became

The backbone of this drug trafficking group, he met Cuban through Xiao Youhui, and met Old Man Ding and Liu Chaoyang through Cuban's introduction. They secretly built an underground drug processing factory in Hong'an County. Gao Fei can be said to be a criminal genius

, extremely alert, seems to have noticed something in the past few days, and may flee to other places at any time, request the headquarters to issue an order to the Hong'an County Public Security Bureau to arrest immediately...

Zhou Xingxing handed the phone to the director.

The director broke out in a cold sweat. There was a drug processing factory under his jurisdiction, but he knew nothing about it. He answered the phone tremblingly. Bai Jingyu, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security, briefly introduced Zhou Xingxing's undercover identity on the phone, because this time

The operation was extremely confidential, so no internal investigation report was released. This case is a major case supervised by the Ministry of Public Security. We hope that the Hong'an County Public Security Bureau will attach great importance to it, actively cooperate, and make arrests immediately.

The director was obedient, nodded in agreement, and hung up the phone.

"How many police personnel does your county have?" Zhou Xingxing asked.

The director thought for a while and said: "There are currently 376 civilian police officers on duty, including 200 front-line police officers and 176 police officers at the police station."

Zhou Xingxing said: "It's not enough. Find them all. The police force is too small and not enough. We have to find some more people."

The director asked: "How many people are there on the other side?"

Zhou Xingxing said: "7."

The director said: "Ah, there are only 7. We have more than 300 people to arrest 7 people. Isn't it enough?"

Zhou Xingxing introduced him to the special characteristics of this underground drug factory in detail. An hour later, the two formulated a foolproof arrest plan. The police dispatched nearly 400 police officers, who disguised themselves as vendors, pedestrians, clothing store owners, and customers while shopping.

A woman sitting on a roadside bench talking on the phone, etc., they strictly controlled the 400 sewer wellheads in the streets of the county, because every wellhead may be an escape exit for criminals.

At 1:00 noon on August 13, 2000, the Hong'an police suddenly attacked and surrounded the building above the underground drug processing factory. When they failed to persuade them to surrender, the police used tear gas and prepared to force a breakthrough. The criminals in the basement were attacked by the police.

They had already discovered it when they arrived, and after a brief discussion, they decided to run away separately.

They fled along the sewers. The first one to be arrested was Tu Laoye. At the intersection of Zhongxin Street, he carefully opened the manhole cover and was arrested as soon as he climbed to the ground. Several others were also arrested as soon as they showed their heads.

There are some arrest details worth mentioning. Liu Chaoyang burst into tears when he was arrested, Tiezui shouted "It hurts" when he was arrested, Old Man Ding became incontinent when he was arrested, Kuban brandished a knife to kill himself when he was arrested, Old Man Tu
