After Fang Xiaomu left, Xiao Nuo picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Secretary Xu, according to the investigation, Hu Quan's cousin Gao Meiling is a suspect. She, Chen Kaiyang, Zhang Jianguo, and Zhang Jianguo's son, Zhang Shiqiu, are in an improper relationship for a long time …"
Secretary Xu hung up the phone and whispered a few words in Mayor Du's ear. Mayor Du looked calm, but when he heard Chen Kaiyang's name, a knowing smile appeared on his lips.
"Okay, let's go. Hey, where is Professor Ding?"
Mayor Du stood up and suddenly found that Ding Ning was not there, so he asked in surprise.
"Director Liu wants to talk to him. They are talking next door."
Zhao Chenxi stood up and answered.
Mayor Du looked at her and frowned, showing a thoughtful expression. "Little girl, I seem to have seen you somewhere. What's your name?"
Zhao Chenxi's heart skipped a beat, but she showed a sweet smile. "Mayor Du, you may have remembered wrongly. My name is Chenxi, and I am just an ordinary college student majoring in journalism and media."
"Chen Xi?" Mayor Du shook his head with a wry smile. He might have remembered wrongly, but he had never heard of this name.
Director Sun's eyes flashed with a hint of contempt. "This old thing, he should use such an old-fashioned way to pick up girls, and she is Professor Ding's girlfriend. He is really shameless."
"But this is also good. It shows that this old thing is not without weaknesses. He likes women. Hehe, at the critical moment, this may be his fatal weakness."
Mayor Du did not know that he just felt that Zhao Chenxi was a little familiar, so he asked casually, but it caused Director Sun's imagination to run wild. If Director Sun knew his dirty thoughts, he would be so angry that he would spit blood. After thinking for a while, he sat back and said, "Then wait for him."
"I'll call him."
Zhao Chenxi volunteered to find Ding Ning. When she went out of the door, she secretly stuck out her tongue.
She hoped that Mayor Du would not remember who she was. After all, she had met Mayor Du at a cocktail party in Yan Jing.
She subconsciously did not want Ding Ning to know her name. At that time, Ji Ji, the bastard, was taught a lesson by Ding Ning, but he betrayed her.
In the deputy director's office, Ding Ning looked at Liu Qiang solemnly. "You mean, you suspect them of smuggling?"
"Yes, White Dragon Town used to be a small fishing village. Later, it became a port, and then it gradually evolved into White Dragon Town. The whole town serves the White Dragon Port."
Liu Qiang nodded and explained, "A dozen nautical miles to the east is the East China Sea, and more than 20 nautical miles to the south is the South China Sea, which is a natural channel for smuggling."
"Don't the customs and marine police care?"
Ding Ning frowned and asked in confusion.
"This is the key point I'm talking about. Wang Bailang is very likely to be a chess piece. There is a huge protection network behind him. This network even includes some people in the customs. Otherwise, it is impossible for nothing to go wrong for such a long time."
Liu Qiang lit a cigarette for Ding Ning and continued, "Although it is not easy for the director of a basic police station to be promoted, it is very easy for him to be promoted to the deputy director of the district bureau and the district government based on his relationship with the district bureau and the district government. But he has worked in the Bailong Town police station for nearly 20 years, but he has always been content. Do you think this is normal? According to my secret investigation, all kinds of signs show that they are smuggling, but I don't know what they are smuggling. "
Ding Ning nodded and said, "It is indeed very abnormal. Although I am not a person in the system, according to human nature, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. I also know a little about Wang Bailang's temper and character. He has been working in the position of director for nearly 20 years, but he is still willing to do it. It shows that there must be something here that is enough to attract him. What you said is very likely, but it is useless without evidence."
"It's not that there is no evidence at all."
Liu Qiang reached out to open a file bag and handed him a few photos. "I found that he sometimes went to the riverside alone to meet people in the middle of the night and used a speedboat to send things to the cargo ship. I once followed him to the riverside at night and secretly took a few photos. But I didn't dare to approach because I was afraid of disturbing them. I didn't even dare to turn on the flash, so the photos are blurred."
Ding Ning looked through the dim photos. The photos were dark and blurred, but when he looked at one of the photos, his pupils suddenly shrank and he asked eagerly, "Director Liu, do you see a lot of contacts every time?"
"Yes, how do you know?"
Liu Qiang nodded repeatedly and asked curiously.
Ding Ning took a long breath and did not answer his question. His expression became unprecedentedly serious. "Director Liu, from now on, don't ask about this matter anymore."
"What do you mean? You are the special consultant of the Municipal Criminal Police Team. Are you also afraid of them? "
Liu Qiang obviously misunderstood Ding Ning's meaning. He suddenly stood up and asked with a red face, not concealing the anger and disappointment on his face.
Ding Ning comforted him with a bitter smile, "Director Liu, don't get excited. It's not what you think. This matter is very complicated. I don't ask you to get involved not because I am afraid of them, but because the special department of the state has been watching them for a long time. These people are very powerful. If you are found by them, you will be sacrificed needlessly. This is not what I want to see."
"You are not bluffing me, are you?"
Liu Qiang stared at Ding Ning's eyes suspiciously.
Ding Ning's eyes were extremely clear and sincere. "I am the consultant of the Criminal Police Team. I will never bluff you."
Liu Qiang looked at him for a long time and then sat down again. He took a drag of his cigarette sullenly. "I believe you, but how do you know that the special department has been watching them?"
"Because I am not only the consultant of the police station, but also the consultant of the National Security Bureau."
Ding Ning fooled him seriously. He could not tell him about Dafei and Qiu Hong. On the one hand, it was a long story. On the other hand, he had his own secrets that were not easy to explain. Thus, he simply told him about the identity of the National Security Bureau.
"Really? Are you still the National Security Bureau?"
Liu Qiang's eyes lit up, and his face was full of yearning. He was a scout and liked adventure and excitement. He was full of yearning for the mysterious National Security Bureau.
Ding Ning's heart moved. Liu Qiang was upright and could endure for so long to secretly investigate the criminal evidence of Wang Bailang. He was absolutely a good seedling.
Immediately, he said with a smile, "Director Liu, are you interested in the National Security Bureau?"
"National Security Bureau? Can I? "
Liu Qiang's breathing suddenly became rapid. While he was not confident, his eyes were full of strong expectations.
"I can't guarantee it, but I will report it to my superiors. As long as you can pass the examination and the political review, there should be no problem."
Ding Ning did not dare to guarantee it. He could not say whether Mo Bing would give him face or not, so he could only give it a try.
"Thank you, thank you so much. I was a scout when I was a soldier. After I was transferred, I was assigned to the public security department. In fact, I prefer the exciting life in the National Security Bureau."
Liu Qiang was so excited that he was incoherent.
Ding Ning laughed and said, "It's better that you have been a scout. I think you will definitely pass it. Leave your phone number to me. Whether you pass it or not, I will call you back."
"Okay, whether you pass it or not, I will appreciate your kindness."
Liu Qiang was also a straightforward person. Although he did not dare to have too much hope, as long as there was a slim chance, he would not give up.
Ding Ning exchanged phone numbers with him, but his eyes unconsciously looked again at a one-eyed man in the photo who was lighting a cigarette and showing his face. That man was Violent Dragon, who was beside Deng Nine-Finger.
Then, what was being smuggled was self-evident. It was not the so-called smuggled goods, but the compatriots of Shenzhou Country. They weaved a huge human network and used this smuggling channel to send the compatriots of Shenzhou Country abroad to do inhumane human experiments.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
There was a knock on the door. Liu Qiang opened the door, and Zhao Chenxi poked her head in and said, "Mayor Du and the others are going back. I came to call you."
"Okay, I got it."
Ding Ning put the photo in his pocket and said to Liu Qiang, "Remember what I said. I will handle this matter."
Liu Qiang hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. "Okay, I will remember."
Ding Ning sighed in his heart. He knew that Liu Qiang was very assertive and would not be easily influenced by others. Obviously, Liu Qiang did not listen to Ding Ning's words.
When they got out of the police station, it was already evening. Mayor Du declined District Director Yang's invitation to dinner and asked him to arrange a car to send Zhao Chenxi, who was a little reluctant, back to school. Then he drove Ding Ning straight to the sanatorium where his wife was. He secretly arranged Hu Quan to stay there, which was specially guarded by the armed police. It was not so easy for some people to kill Hu Quan to keep him quiet.
As for Zhang Shiqiu and Wang Bailang, they had already been sent to the Municipal Criminal Police Team. This also indirectly showed that Mayor Du did not trust the District Public Security Bureau, which made Li Guodong feel very embarrassed.
"Little Ding, I want to trouble you to wake up Hu Quan, the driver who caused the accident in the morning."
In the car, Mayor Du asked very sincerely. From the way he changed the way he addressed Ding Ning, it could be seen that he was close to Ding Ning.
Ding Ning frowned. "Has he not woken up yet?"
"No, the earlier he wakes up, the better the situation will be for us."
Mayor Du sighed. Although it was possible to open a gap through Zhang Shiqiu, he hoped to make the situation more favorable by doing two things at the same time.
After getting the hint from Mayor Du, Xu Minglu told Ding Ning the whole process of the incident without concealing anything. He was very sincere.
Ding Ning was dumbfounded. He did not know that there were such complicated reasons. The officialdom was really terrible.
But whether it was out of morality or his friendship with Mayor Du, since he had been involved in it, he would naturally not sit back and do nothing. So, he quickly promised, "No problem!"
"Little Ding, I won't say such pretentious words. In the future, if you have any problems, just tell Uncle Du. As long as it is not a crime, I will definitely help you."
Mayor Du was in a good mood and said with a smile.
"Mayor Du, Brother Ding is not a person who will commit crimes. If something really happens, it must be someone else who provoked him first."
Xu Minglu looked at Ding Ning enviously and joked with a smile. With such a promise from Mayor Du, Ding Ning could basically do whatever he wanted in Ninghai in the future.
"Thank you, Uncle Du."
In this regard, Ding Ning was naturally happy to see this and did not mind calling him uncle. After all, given his age and the fact that he was Siqiao's uncle, it was not a loss for him to call him uncle.
Besides, he was also willing to make friends with Mayor Du. What was more, Mayor Du's temper was to his liking. Although he had some bureaucratic habits, he was very upright in his bones.
After layers of strict checks, Ding Ning came to the sanatorium again. After Mayor Du's introduction, he knew that this was the military sanatorium of the Ninghai Garrison Command. Those who could live here were all retired big shots of various military regions, and the lowest rank was a major general. Therefore, it was heavily guarded, and there was a sentry every few steps.
