Chapter 375 Jiao Zhenguo in Action
Chapter 375 Jiao Zhenguo in Action
For the next two or three days, the city of Peking was calm and peaceful.
In a place like Peking, it is obviously not normal for everything to be calm and peaceful.
Even Gao Shengping was a little puzzled. In the past, people either died here or there were explosions there. There were people from all walks of life, such as the Beiping Station, the Anti-Traitor Team, and the social workers in the Red Zone. Not to mention the open and covert struggles of various forces for their own interests.
Fake business wars are full of intrigues, while real business wars are like throwing grenades into the other party’s shop.
Just as Lao Gao took out a Hardman from the luxurious cigarette case with gold-rimmed ivory and jade inlaid, and was about to light it, the phone rang.
Lao Gao shuddered and put down the lighter, "Hello?"
On the opposite side was Jiao Zhenguo. After being disciplined several times, this guy gradually began to behave himself and paid all the filial respects he was entitled to. Overall, Gao Shengping was quite satisfied.
"Director, it's me. There was a shooting in Houjing'er Hutong, Inner District 3. A group of people broke into someone's house with guns blatantly. A guard was killed and a lot of things were stolen. The owner of this house is a director of the Administrative Committee. Can I take over?"
When Lao Gao heard this, he calmly lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
This is right!
There have been no cases for several days, and Lao Gao feels that the world is not normal!
When he heard that he was just a director of the Administrative Committee, Lao Gao didn't take it seriously. He was now the deputy director and his good brother Lin Ze was a lieutenant in the gendarmerie headquarters. He usually either had dinner with this lady or took a bath with that lady. A mere director of the Administrative Committee was not worthy of his personal involvement.
"Okay, Lao Jiao, you can do whatever you want. Arrest whoever needs to be arrested. Of course, if the host has money, let them contribute as well!"
"I understand. Don't worry, Director."
After hanging up the phone, Jiao Zhenguo sighed, saying that it is easy to learn good things but easy to learn bad things. As a detective captain, it is very difficult to enforce the law impartially and be frugal, and it is not easy to achieve results. However, if he eats up the plaintiff and the defendant, and collects bribes for settling disputes for people everywhere, he can not only make money, but also make friends, and even the crime-solving rate will go up.
Where is the reasoning here?
As for what Lao Gao said about asking the host family who got into trouble to help, this is a common practice. Your house was robbed, and I helped you solve the case. It’s not too much for you to give the brothers some money for tea, right?
The owner of this house is none other than Meng Shengyu, the director of the Military Supply Management Department of the Administrative Committee.
Jiao Zhenguo had just sent his men out to conduct an investigation in the morning, and before noon this Meng Shengyu came to pay his respects with a letter of invitation.
Duan Wenxuan went to Jiao Zhenguo for instructions, "Captain, Director Meng wants to see you with a letter."
Jiao Zhenguo deliberately left it alone for a while, and only after half an hour did he let Duan Wenxuan call the person over.
It has to be said that Xiao Duan is still far from being qualified to be a secretary. He has a lot to learn. For example, he left Meng Shengyu alone waiting in the reception room, neither changing the tea for the guest nor talking to him.
Even a clay figure can have some temper, let alone a human being. Meng Shengyu was so impatient that he almost ran away.
I cursed in my heart, "You are a detective captain, what's so arrogant about you? I am in charge of military supplies, and countless silvers pass through my hands every day. I came to you with a letter, and you still shook it!"
When Jiao Zhenguo came to see him, the grandson was extremely thirsty. He came here in a hurry, but he waited for a long time and only drank a covered bowl of tea. No one came to change it. It would be strange if he was not thirsty.
When he saw Jiao Zhenguo coming in, he smiled and suppressed his anger: "Captain Jiao, I have heard a lot about you. I am the director of the quartermaster department. Because my home was robbed, I came to visit you."
Jiao Zhenguo also bowed in return, "Director Meng, please take a seat."
"Hey, Captain Jiao, there's no hurry to sit down. If you have tea, can you give me a bowl? I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I've only drunk half a bowl of tea when I got here. I'm really thirsty."
Jiao Zhenguo turned around and glared at Duan Wenxuan, motioning him to quickly pour tea.
It is said that Meng Shengyu is a man of great flexibility. He drank tea and sat leisurely on the chair. He did not say anything, but invited: "Captain Jiao, you have worked hard on the case. I have prepared a table in Dongxing Building. I know that the captain is busy with official duties. I am sorry to bother you. I hope Captain Jiao will take the time to come!"
When Jiao Zhenguo heard this, he was like, damn it, you came to me before I even had time to find you, this is great.
He pretended to be embarrassed, "This... To be honest, Brother Meng, I'm not busy with official duties, but I have an appointment this afternoon, and I have to pick up a prisoner in the afternoon..."
Meng Shengyu said quickly: "Captain Jiao, I really appreciate your hard work in handling the case and want to show my appreciation. If you don't go, I will feel uneasy..."
Jiao Zhenguo gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Wenxuan, go call the director and tell him that I have something to do at home at noon and will not be going to dinner."
Duan Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and ran away.
At noon, Jiao Zhenguo and Meng Shengyu went to Dongxing Building.
Dongxinglou is located on Dong'anmen Street and is known as the first of the eight major Shandong cuisine restaurants.
The old shopkeeper An Shutang was a legendary figure. He worked diligently all his life and developed the little-known Dongxinglou into such a large scale.
He implemented human resources shares, also called body shares, in Dongxing Building. How much money everyone could get was directly linked to the performance of the business. In this way, how could there be any cheating?
Every morning, Shopkeeper Lao An was the first to arrive at the store and the last to leave in the evening. He always bowed and thanked the chefs and waiters for their hard work. This was unique among the restaurants in Peking. Moreover, during every New Year, he would personally visit the chefs and waiters at their homes, bringing gifts.
There is a saying, "If you eat at Dongxinglou, you won't have to worry about finding a wife", which means that the treatment in Dongxinglou is good. The so-called "eating at Dongxinglou" means that you will have shares in the company if you work at Dongxinglou.
However, last year, the shopkeeper Lao An passed away, and his son took over as the shopkeeper. Everyone said that the business is not as good as before.
When they arrived at the private room upstairs, Meng Shengyu called and all kinds of delicious dishes came up like water.
There were a lot of dishes on the table, such as braised sea cucumber with scallion, stewed mullet egg soup, stir-fried tripe with coriander, and sliced chicken with lotus root. There was an even richer variety of wine, including Erguotou from Peking, sorghum liquor from Zhili, Fenjiu from the west, wine from Tonghua, brandy from Changyu, and so on.
The winery in Tonghua was established by the Japanese last year. They started producing wine this year and it is very popular.
Meng Shengyu can attend four banquets a day and can talk about all kinds of nice things at will.
As the cups were exchanged, the atmosphere gradually became heated. Meng Shengyu raised his glass and said, "Captain, forget it. I won't call you Captain anymore. I'll call you brother. Don't worry, I'm just inviting you to dinner to show my gratitude. It's nothing serious. I won't bother you at all."
Jiao Zhenguo understood what he meant, "Brother, since you call me brother, don't be afraid to bother me. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Meng Shengyu was drunk and said, "Brother is really generous! Now that you mention it, I do have a little thing to do."
