. She felt that compared to her master, Cai Shaohua was just a dwarf. 。Li Haiyan pressed her ear against the crack in the door, listening intently to the sounds inside. Earlier, she had faintly heard...Xiao Jingyu asked, "Where is Xu Changyun now" Xiao Zheng replied, "He's in An County. His people are watching the sea in Zhonghai." 。Xiao Jingyu asked, "Can we call Xu Changyun over today I have something to ask him." 。Xiao Zheng said: “I’ll contact him first.” 。The tea room of the An County International Hotel has become their fixed venue for secret meetings. 。Xu Changyun also had someone specially process this tea room to ensure it couldn't be eavesdropped on. 。That night, a little after nine o'clock, Xiao Jingyu, Xiao Zheng, Xu Changyun, and Li Haiyan all appeared in the tea room. 。Xiao Jingyu got straight to the point: "Director Xu, can we just send people to Zhong Hai to bring Tao Huanzheng back" Xu Changyun said: "No" 。Tao Huan is currently in the Zhonghai area, and according to jurisdictional management, she must first go through the Zhonghai Public Security Bureau. 。Unless we are not acting under public security grounds, directly put Tao Huanzheng into the car and transport him back to An County. 。"

"Is this equivalent to unlawful detention" Xiao Zheng asked. 。Xu Changyun said: "It can be said that according to the public security regulations, if someone is to be arrested, there must be approval procedures, otherwise any arrest action would be illegal." 。"Xiao Zheng said: "That can't be done". 。What we do must be legal, otherwise it won't stand up and it would easily become a handle for some people to attack us. 。Li Haiyan also asked, "Can we issue an arrest warrant and bring him back" Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "Doing so would first alarm the snakes. It would definitely make some people immediately alert; on the other hand, even if we arrest Tao Huanzheng, whether he is willing to tell us about Fang's side is another question." 。Look at Song Guoming and Ma Hao, even though they were arrested, they still refused to reveal Fang's information. 。In their eyes, as long as Fang was fine, they still had a chance to turn things around. At least after he was released, they would be able to live comfortably, so why would they confess

Xiao Jingyu said: "So even if we catch Tao Huanzheng, it wouldn't be useful" Everyone fell silent, all trying to come up with a solution, but none of them came up with anything particularly good. 。Xu Changyun knew that, given the current situation, Tao Huanzheng was a very important person. If they couldn't take down Tao Huanzheng and expose the issues behind Fang Ye, it would be extremely difficult. 。

Fang Ye is also safe and sound, and the current situation will be difficult to change. He Xu Changyun wants to be the county magistrate, but it's impossible. The "Beautiful Rural Construction" project carried out by the county will also face many obstacles. 。Xu Changyun said, “Xiao Shuji, why don’t I go to Zhonghai myself I have a way to make him confess everything.” 。Xu Changyun didn't want the current situation to continue like this, and was even willing to take risks. 。"Director Xu, I understand your feelings, but this idea of yours is not feasible. The risk is too great." 。"Xiao Zheng expressed opposition, "If you are caught, you won't even be able to keep your position as deputy director." 。Not to mention what the authorities will be like in the future. 。Xiao Zheng didn't want Xu Changyun to ruin his future because of this. 。Xu Changyun said: "But we can't just keep dragging this on, can we" 。“Looking at those corrupt and criminal elements, can we do nothing about them”

Xiao Zheng looked up and said, “Secretary Xiao, Director Xu, I have an idea” 。Although it may not be entirely authentic, at least it doesn't cross legal boundaries and allows for both advancement and retreat. 。Xiao Jingyu and Xu Changyun both looked at Xiao Zheng, "Tell us." 。In the old Ximen area of Zhonghai, this place was once an old concession. On the narrow streets, the branches of the camphor trees have all fallen, and the mottled traces of time are visible everywhere. 。From a doorway, Tao Huan wearing a baseball cap had his hands in his jacket pockets, looked around, and then walked towards a dumpling shop across the street. 。He hasn't had breakfast yet, and he's going to eat a bowl of dumplings now, with three bottles of beer. 。Since leaving An County, he has been hiding in the Zhonghai area. Every day, he just eats, drinks, and helps certain leaders handle some affairs. He drinks a lot of alcohol, but most of the time it's solo drinking. 。He has been thinking about when he can get Fang Ye to kick out the female county party secretary, Xiao Jingyu, from An County, so that he can return to An County and live a lavish life as he did before. 。Tao Huan was waiting for the dumplings to arrive, looking at the bottles of Harbin beer on the table. She touched them with her hand and said to herself, "When can you guys turn into Moutai"

Just as she finished speaking, Tao Huan unintentionally looked towards the mouth of the alley. She saw a strange figure walking into the alley. Tao Huan felt a little strange, who was this person She had never seen him in this alley before. 。At this moment, a steaming plate of dumplings arrived. Tao Huan was very hungry and didn't even bother about the person who had just walked into the alley. He asked the waiter for three bottles of beer, stuffed a dumpling into his mouth, and started blowing on his bottle of beer. 。The person who walked into the alley was Hong Sheng. 。Hong Sheng once worked at the An County Public Security Bureau. Because he had a falling out with the then-director of the bureau, Ma Hao, he resigned and went into business for himself. 。Deputy director Xu Changyun of the County Public Security Bureau, out of consideration for his younger brother, would also introduce some jobs to him. Unexpectedly, he did a great job in all of them. 。This time, tracking down Tao Huanzheng in Zhonghai is a job that people from the public security system shouldn't get involved in, so Xu Changyun entrusted it to him again. 。Hong Sheng, without saying a word, came to the China Sea. 。After Hong Sheng and Lin Xiaofeng had met, Lin Xiaofeng found Hong Sheng and assigned him the task of tracking. 。The day before yesterday, Hong Sheng was only tracking Tao Huan. 。Today, Hong Sheng received a new assignment. He not only had to follow Tao Huanzheng but also had to install a listening device in Tao Huanzheng's room while he was out. 。。So, Hong Sheng still has relatively loose time to install the bug. 。Just now, Hong Sheng saw Tao Huan going out, so he went into the alley and came to the house where Tao Huan was living. 。Hong Sheng used his lockpicking skills to enter Tao Huanzheng's house. After taking a quick look around, he ignored the smell of alcohol and smoke and started working. 。Tao Huan was drinking beer very quickly, finishing a bottle in just a few gulps. He ate a few dumplings and then finished another bottle of beer. 。 。That figure walked into the alley where he lived at that moment. What was he doing Was he looking for his own Tao Huan suddenly became alert, he threw away the half-empty bottle of beer and 20 yuan, and ran towards his rented house. 。Tao Huan was running out of breath. He wanted to see if anyone was active on the floor where he rented his apartment. Once he smelled any disturbance, he planned that he wouldn't go back into the house again. 。Tao Huan just entered Shikumen, quietly slipped into her rented house, observing and listening intently, but there was no sound. 。That strange figure, could it have already gone into his own house

Tao Huan was even more careful, approaching his own door. 。At this moment, Hong Sheng had just finished installing a listening device in Tao Huanzheng's room and was about to walk out. 。When Hong Sheng was about to open the door, he suddenly felt a slight change in the light outside the door, but he didn't hear any sound of anyone coming to the door. 。

Hong Sheng stopped in his tracks. 。Tao Huan was pressing her ear against the door, listening to the sounds inside. As soon as there was any noise, Tao Huan would definitely turn around and run away immediately. 。However, Tao Huan still didn't hear any movement inside. 。Tao Huan was just taking out the keys, slowly turning the lock, and gently pushing the door open. 。There was no one inside, he walked into the room, scanned it around, then checked the toilet, under the bed, in the closet, under the table, he looked everywhere in the room that could possibly conceal someone, but there was no one there. 。Tao Huanzheng suddenly remembered, could he be hiding behind the door Tao Huanzheng ran to the door, but there was no one behind it. 。Tao Huan wasn't convinced yet. He rushed to the window, pushed it open, and looked down. If anyone was running in the alley or if he saw that person again, it would be suspicious. 。Ke Tao Huan was in the alley below, but found nothing either. 。Tao Huanzheng finally let out a sigh of relief and cursed, "Damn it, I was too nervous!" 。"Oh, by the way, there's still half a bottle of beer left!"

Tao Huan glanced back into the room and slammed the door shut as she went downstairs. 。After a while, silence filled the room. 。However, above the window on the outer wall, a man stood against the wall on the ledge, propping himself up with his hands to keep from falling. 。If Hong Sheng hadn't worked in public security for a long time before, with his physical fitness and skills already quite good, and later practiced martial arts again, he wouldn't dare to make such moves at all. 。As soon as he heard the door close, Hong Sheng returned to his room through the window. 。He peered cautiously out the window and saw Tao Huan running swiftly toward the gate of the shikumen. 。Hong Sheng quickly slipped out of Tao Huanzheng's rented house. 。As for the bugging devices, they had already been installed under Tao Huanzheng's bed and in the bathroom cabinet. 。Hong Sheng reported this situation to Xu Changyun, who asked him to be on the lookout for eavesdropping and to report any developments immediately. 。For the next few days, either Tao Huan would come back drunk and pass out after a heavy drinking session, or he'd bring women back home and make noise all night… Until three days later, Hong Sheng heard some important news. 。Tao Huanzheng just received a call, receiving money into an account called Liu Xiaoyong, then another amount into Shen Dajun's account. Tao Huanzheng called Liu Xiaoyong and Shen Dajun to confirm, then reminded: "This is all Mr. Fang's money, don't get it wrong!"

The next day, another sum of money was received into Shen Dajun's account. Tao Huanzheng reminded: "This is Mr. Li's money, don't get it wrong!"

Another day passed, and Tao Huanzheng said: "Mr. Fang's wife needs money, 100,000 yuan, tomorrow noon 12:15, meet at Niujiao Cafe in Anxian County" 。"Don't get it wrong, it's Madam Fang! Cash!"

Hong Sheng, who was listening, felt this was a huge piece of news and immediately called Xu Changyun. 。Xu Changyun also felt that this news was not trivial, he immediately found Xiao Zheng to discuss it. 。Neither of them told the other, but by noon the next day, they were both waiting at a small restaurant across from the Niu Jiao Cafe in the county town, closely watching the activity at the cafe entrance. 。At 12:15, Fang Ye's wife, as expected, appeared at the entrance of the cafe, arriving in a red modern sports car. 。 or having asked for leave beforehand. 。However, there are also some comrades who just don't show up in the office for no reason. 。"Isn't this a sign of disciplinary laxity!"All the members of the gro...
