Chapter 106: Make an Example
The two officers exchanged a glance, and from each other's eyes, they both sensed something was amiss.
One of them moved forward to check the minibus.
Another officer reminded him, "Come back here. The boss's orders are to guard the back door."
"Then this..."
"Just notify the boss and have him send someone to inspect it."
The officers who were about to go up to check returned to their original positions, ready to take out their walkie-talkies to report.
At that moment, a police officer at the parking lot exit walked over and pressed the hand of the officer at the back door who was about to report.
"Don't meddle."
"Wan Suo..."
The two officers at the back gate and the two officers at the parking lot exit were transferred from the township police station below to assist.
The deputy director who came over had already received a call from Jiang Xiong's subordinates, asking them to do him a favor.
The deputy director, surnamed Wan, then came over to remind his subordinates.
"Director Zheng wants us to guard this building."
The instructions clearly stated that we were to check inside the building, not that we were to check the parking lot.
Why do so many things?
With the deputy director speaking, the two officers naturally chose to avoid trouble.
After all, everyone knows that Shengshi KTV is Jiang Xiong's business.
But there's an even more powerful person standing behind Jiang Xiong.
Let alone the two police officers, even the station chief might not be able to afford to offend those people.
It's true that it's better to avoid trouble.
Furthermore, is Director Zheng's drastic action truly aimed at strictly enforcing public order?
Or is there another purpose?
Who can say for sure?
In the past, there have been instances where people have launched such inspections in pursuit of personal gain.
The security guard inside the minibus was terrified, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two police officers at the back door were standing still.
inside the building.
Xiao Yanfang and the others checked the area but did not find Mimi or any of the hostesses.
Zheng Zhiguo realized that Xiao Yanfang was going in the wrong direction and, not wanting to waste time, ordered them to prepare to leave and check other locations, leaving the anti-drug squad to continue their inspections here.
Just then, Xiao Yanfang noticed something strange behind the door at the end of the corridor.
There is a light every two meters in the corridor.
But it was pitch black behind that door.
So he led his men to inspect the back of the door himself.
Pushing open the door, I found a room on each side behind it. The door to the left room was closed, while the door to the right room was ajar.
There were some linens and other items placed by the door on the right, which clearly indicated that it was a warehouse.
"Open this door."
Xiao Yanfang gave the order.
The KTV manager cautiously replied, "These are our general manager's personal belongings... I'm afraid that's inappropriate?"
At this point, the manager had no choice but to promote someone.
Shengshi KTV is a business of Wansheng Group, and its general manager, Jiang Xiong, is a prominent figure in Yuanshan County.
Who doesn't know? Who doesn't understand?
The manager thought that if he said that, Xiao Yanfang would give up.
But to everyone's surprise, this woman, eager to make a name for herself, didn't care about any of that.
Xiao Yanfang shouted sternly, "I told you to open it!"
"I... I don't have the key. The key is with General Manager Jiang..." the manager lied.
"Break down the door," Xiao Yanfang ordered her subordinates behind her.
boom!
The door was smashed open in an instant.
A pungent smell of sweat mixed with perfume wafted out of the room, making one feel dizzy.
Several police officers shone their flashlights inside and saw dozens of women hiding in the house.
"These are your General Manager Jiang's personal belongings?" Xiao Yanfang asked speechlessly.
The manager wiped his sweat: "Well, I don't know either. Why are these people here... This room used to be where President Jiang's personal belongings were kept."
"Stop trying to deny it!" Xiao Yanfang said sternly, "Take them all away!"
Along with the manager, dozens of female escorts, and some security personnel, they were all taken to the parking lot downstairs and put into a car.
Handcuffs were no longer sufficient, so many people used plastic cable ties to bind their two thumbs.
Looking at the results before her, Xiao Yanfang couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Zheng Zhiguo stood beside her, his eyes scanning the parking lot like radar.
"Director Xiao, there's more to Shengshi KTV than just these things."
Go back and thoroughly interrogate these people.
Let's see if we can find some fans.
The higher-ups are taking this issue very seriously.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanfang immediately felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy: "What? This kind of situation still exists in our Yuanshan County?"
No wonder they brought in the anti-drug squad.
Drug-related issues are a major incident.
If the scale is large, the number of people involved is large, and the impact is serious, those responsible will be held accountable.
Xiao Yanfang was scared.
"That's right." Zheng Zhiguo nodded solemnly: "Surprise inspections are just routine measures. These addicts are much more cunning and cautious than their clients, making them much harder to crack down on."
Your Xiapu branch has a heavy workload.
We need to conduct regular public awareness campaigns on this topic, and at the same time, increase the intensity of patrols.
Ideally, we could identify a typical case…
He wanted to make an example of him tonight, to show David his attitude.
Xiao Zhikai's words made him uneasy. His life and death were entirely in Dawei's hands, and he no longer had the chance to make a mistake.
Unfortunately, they only arrested some people involved in prostitution tonight, not anyone involved in drugs. I wonder if the anti-drug team will be able to find anything later.
Zheng Zhiguo was just worrying when his phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was Li Taoying calling. His heart tightened immediately.
What's wrong with this woman so late at night?
"Get back to work and interrogate them properly."
Zheng Zhiguo dismissed Xiao Yanfang and the others, then went to the wall to take a phone call.
"What is it?"
"Director Zheng, are you at Shengshi KTV?"
"Yes, there will be a city-wide inspection tonight."
"Did you find anything?"
"So far, we've only found some cases involving pornography."
Li Taoying secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's nothing serious, let's disperse quickly. Secretary Xiangzhang and I have received quite a few complaints."
You too.
Why didn't you inform the county committee beforehand about such a large-scale operation?
The impact is very negative.
The entertainment service industry is one of the pillar industries of our county. Many businessmen from other places, and even some overseas Chinese businessmen, come here to play.
What you're doing will disturb people and affect the business of these places.
Unless something major happens, such actions should be avoided.
They were saying all sorts of high-sounding words, but both people on the other end of the phone knew perfectly well that someone had intervened and was telling them to stop the investigation.
Thinking back to that night in the suite at the Guohao Hotel, Li Taoying turned on him after it was over, saying it was just this once and he should pretend nothing had happened.
That look, that tone...
That really hurts someone's self-esteem.
Zheng Zhiguo had already won her over, so his attraction to the woman had faded, and he wouldn't be as obedient as before.
When others make polite remarks, he makes polite remarks in return.
"Director Li's criticism is correct."
However, our public security system has its own difficulties.
We can't just ignore a report, can we?
If this causes any serious trouble, I will be held responsible.
I only launched this operation because they were bad prospects.
Although no major problems have been found yet, this action is necessary. If we wait until the seedlings develop into serious issues, it will be too late.
Li Taoying exhaled slowly. They could lead the public security bureau, but the county committee could not interfere with the local public security bureau's business and case handling.
"I understand. If no major problems are found tonight, let's withdraw the team as soon as possible."
The leadership is also under a lot of pressure.
I can't sleep well at all; my phone is ringing off the hook.
She had no choice but to bring out Zhou Xiangzhang.
Zheng Zhiguo said "eh" a few times and hung up the phone. He moved his lips, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Why is this woman so concerned about this operation...?
Why the rush to withdraw the team?
Could it be...
Did my actions this time really touch upon some core secrets?
So, does that mean someone was actually involved in drug use tonight?
