Chapter 156 The Unlucky Yan Bugui
Chapter 156 The Unlucky Yan Bugui
Night, 10:15 pm.
Li Kailang drove directly to Beixinqiao Police Station.
"Here we come! Turn off the car!" Xie Yong ordered Li Kailang.
Li Kailang obediently turned off the engine and waited quietly for further instructions.
Xie Yong walked to Li Kailang's cab and looked at him through the window.
"When it's 11 o'clock, you take a car full of police officers to the black market closest to us."
"After dropping the person off, just stay in the car, don't worry about anything and don't get off," Xie Yong emphasized again.
Li Kailang nodded, "Are we going to the black market to arrest everyone?"
Looking at such a big scene, Li Kailang didn't believe that only a few big cats and small cats were caught.
"Well, we've arrested a lot of people this time, and it's not just your car. There are other cars assisting, so don't get out of the car when you get there."
"Although you are at the back, there shouldn't be any danger, but some accidents are inevitable." Xie Yong pretended to remind solemnly.
He was afraid that Li Kailang would get off the car out of curiosity to watch the fun, and then even if there was no danger at all, it would become dangerous.
Li Kailang said firmly, "Don't worry, Officer Xie, I know what I am doing. No matter what happens, I will not get off the car."
"Then I'm relieved. You can take a rest. I'll call you when the time is up."
Li Kailang nodded and closed his eyes to rest.
Half an hour later, Xie Yong knocked on the car door and Li Kailang woke up instantly.
"Thank you, Officer. Is it time yet?"
"Well, why don't you come down and wash your face and wake up?" Xie Yong asked.
"No, I've rested for a while and I'm much more awake now!"
"Then get ready. We will set off soon. Drive at full speed and don't stop." Xie Yong gave the final order.
"Got it." Li Kailang responded.
"Da da~"
There was a burst of hurried footsteps and the truck began to vibrate.
Li Kailang felt a strong vibration and knew that at least fifteen policemen had got on the car.
At the same time, Xie Yong also got on the passenger seat.
"Let's go!"
Following Xie Yong's order, Li Kailang started the truck without hesitation and drove straight towards the black market.
"Rumble--"
Meanwhile, the black market.
"Boss, can you make it cheaper? I'll buy more if it's cheaper."
The stall owner showed a helpless look, as if he had finally made up his mind after an inner struggle.
"Okay, okay, since you said that, I'll give you a discount. I won't make any money from you, just consider it as making a friend!"
When the man heard this, he smiled happily and said, "Okay, I will buy from you from now on. I won't go anywhere else!"
The stall owner also laughed: "How much?"
"Just half a pound!"
"Huh? How much?"
"Half a pound!"
"Damn it! You're only buying half a pound, why are you still wasting time here? I thought you wanted to buy much! I'm not selling it to you anymore!" The stall owner suddenly got angry.
"Hey, boss, what you said is wrong. Didn't we agree on this?" the man retorted dissatisfiedly.
At this time, the people watching nearby began to whisper: "Hey, that old guy is here again, this stall owner is so unlucky!"
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you talking about? Is it famous?" a person who had just arrived asked curiously.
"You'll know later. This guy is notoriously stingy. This stall owner must be here for the first time, otherwise he would not have sold anything to him."
The stall owner also realized that he had encountered a troublesome person, and waved his hand impatiently:
"Go, go, go, don't block my business. I don't make any money from this little bit of meat, I'm even losing money."
"No, boss, we have to open a business. Even a small mosquito is still meat!" The man still refused to leave.
"Go away, don't block my business. There are a bunch of people waiting behind!" said the stall owner, pushing him aside.
"No, no, no, I was just joking. I'll buy it! I'll buy it!" the man quickly changed his words.
The stall owner's expression softened a little: "How much do you want to buy?"
"One pound!"
"Okay, I'll cut it for you!" The stall owner wanted to keep things quiet and didn't bother to talk nonsense with him. He just cut the meat and gave it to him.
"Rumble--"
A loud noise came from a distance, and everyone was startled.
"Run! Run!"
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, causing panic in an instant.
People began to flee in different directions.
"Don't move! Don't move!"
At this time, a group of police suddenly appeared at the entrance, holding guns and looking serious. They pointed them at everyone.
Their appearance made the already panicked crowd even more chaotic.
"Squat down! Squat down!"
The police shouted loudly, but many people still did as they pleased and continued to run.
Soon, seeing that all escape routes were blocked, everyone knew there was no escape and immediately squatted down.
But some people are still hoping for the best and are unwilling to surrender.
They tried to turn around and run away, or rushed towards the police desperately.
However, "Bang!!!" A gunshot pierced the sky, and the police fired a shot into the sky, making everyone quiet instantly.
Those who tried to resist were instantly frightened out of their wits. They held their heads with their hands, squatted on the ground obediently, and dared not act rashly again.
"Ah!" Suddenly, several shrill screams rang out.
When everyone looked closely, they saw that several policemen had already pinned some people to the ground.
The men were handcuffed and taken away by the police.
"Why are you running? We surround you!" a policeman said disdainfully to those who tried to escape.
Xie Yong didn't say anything when he saw this, and shouted to everyone:
"Listen, everyone inside. You are surrounded by us. Do not resist fearlessly."
"Our guns are blind. If they go off accidentally, you and your family will be killed!"
Seeing everyone squatting there motionless, the police breathed a sigh of relief.
It is impossible to shoot at people. If someone dies, it will be even more difficult to control.
"Come on, come on, everyone, make way for us police officers to go in!"
"action!"
Immediately, a path was cleared in the middle of the crowd, and several armed policemen walked in.
There is more than one entrance and exit to the black market. When you arrive at the center of the black market, there are more than a dozen police officers.
"Everyone, put on your handcuffs and go to the police station with us," Xie Yong ordered.
"No, police comrade, this is my first time in the black market, I don't know anything, don't let me in!" Someone suddenly cried.
"Comrade police officer, this is my first time here too. Look, I don't have anything on me! I didn't buy anything!"
"Comrade police officer, there's me too. I have nothing on me!"
Suddenly, everyone started talking at once and it was very noisy.
But the police ignored their cries.
"collapse!!!"
"Quiet!"
"Which of you is innocent? We the police will investigate. As long as you have not bought or sold anything, we will release you tomorrow morning, or even on the spot."
"But don't try to lie. Once we find out, the crime will be even more serious!"
"What you need to do now is to put on your handcuffs and come with me. Don't try to escape. The guns in our hands are blind!" Xie Yong warned.
Hearing this, everyone accepted their fate and put on the handcuffs.
For this operation, Xie Yong brought a lot of handcuffs, hundreds of them in total, but the crowd in front of him was at least over a hundred.
Xie Yong called the policeman nearby and said, "Go and call the driver!"
The man responded and went to call Li Kailang over.
Soon, Li Kailang drove in front of the crowd and turned the car towards them.
"Now, everyone comes over one by one to report their name and address, and take off their masks. After that, they get on the bus and squat in the car."
This is naturally done to prevent someone from escaping and not being caught, but for those who want to escape, this practice is redundant.
But these practices are more prepared for those honest and decent people. Even if they are deceived and run away, their information is here.
A monk can run away, but a temple cannot!
"Line up one by one!"
Everyone began to enter the carriage in order.
The atmosphere in the carriage seemed a little depressing, and everyone looked at each other with heavy expressions.
Li Kailang looked through the rearview mirror, but felt unsatisfied, so he got out of the car to take a look.
Xie Yong watched Li Kailang get off the car, and seeing that the situation was under control, he did not stop him.
"By the way, Master Li, your car won't be able to carry all these people. I'll have to trouble you to come a few more times!" Xie Yong reminded.
"It's okay. It's my honor to serve my comrades. Besides, the police and the people are like one family. I'm sorry to trouble you." Li Kailang replied.
It was the first time for him to see so many people queuing up to get on a bus to "die"!
"It's quite enjoyable!" Li Kailang said to himself.
Then he patted the car again, as if to encourage it, "You are famous now, transporting so many people at once."
Xie Yong looked at Li Kailang and wondered what he was doing, so he didn't ask any questions.
At this moment, in the bustling crowd, an old man saw Li Kailang and shouted excitedly:
"Xiao Li, is that you? Xiao Li?" The voice was full of surprise and confusion.
Li Kailang felt the voice was familiar, it seemed to be Yan Bugui.
Following the sound, I looked over and saw that it was true!
Li Kailang was startled and immediately turned his head away, pretending that he had not heard anything and did not recognize the man.
"Master Li, is this someone you know?" Xie Yong asked curiously.
"Ahem, Officer Xie, I don't know that person. Maybe he saw the wrong person or called the wrong name." Li Kailang quickly explained.
"Besides, calling my name in public, isn't this harming me?" Li Kailang thought.
He was going to send them back to the police station. If they knew who sent them back, they might seek revenge on him.
They didn't dare to retaliate against the police, but they dared to retaliate against Li Kailang.
Although he is not afraid, he has to live in fear every day and will eventually get tired of it.
However, although Li Kailang said this, Xie Yong still recognized Yan Bugui.
"Hey, isn't this Uncle Three? Why are you here too?"
"Forehead"
Yan Bugui originally wanted to ask Li Kailang to plead for mercy and ask the police to let him go.
But when he was suddenly recognized by Xie Yong, he was speechless.
"What's the matter, Uncle? Do you have any difficulties? Tell us about it. If it makes sense, maybe we will let you go on the spot!" Xie Yong joked.
Hearing that he could be let go, Yan Bugui's eyes lit up and he said directly.
"I didn't buy anything, but you caught me. Can you please let me go?"
"Really? If it's really like what you said, it's not impossible." Xie Yong said after pondering for a moment.
"Bullshit!" someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
Everyone turned their eyes to the direction of the voice, and saw a young man pointing at Yan Bugui and saying loudly:
"This man just bought a pound of pork, and when he heard you guys coming, he threw the pork away!"
He also heard that Yan Bugui could be released, and he was dissatisfied in his heart, and wanted to drag Yan Bugui into the water. Why can't they leave, but Yan Bugui can leave!
"Yeah, I just saw it too! I could recognize him even with the mask on."
"Yes, I also know where he threw the meat! His voice is unique in the black market, and no one can forget it."
"I was standing behind him selling pork, and he even said the boss lowered the price, but I couldn't tell him a thing."
It seemed that no one was going to let Yan Bugui off easily.
"Oh! Uncle, is that so?" Xie Yong asked.
"This, this." Yan Bugui stammered and couldn't say a word.
"Well, I can't save him even if I want to!" Li Kailang said inwardly.
He shrugged helplessly and said to Yan Bugui:
"Uncle, you better go to the police station and explain what happened. I can't do anything and can't help you."
Now that things have been decided, there is nothing Li Kailang can do to help him.
Yan Bugui looked at Li Kailang, his eyes full of pleading, "Xiao Li, we are from the same courtyard, you can't just stand by and watch me die..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Kailang interrupted him: "Uncle, stop talking! Don't try to drag me down with you."
"With so many people present, if you let the police comrades do this, what will everyone think?"
Yan Bugui lowered his head helplessly and could only accept his fate.
"Okay, the place is full, send some people up to keep an eye on it."
"Master Li, please send him to the police station."
"Don't worry." Li Kailang responded and drove back.
Not far away, a few people were watching the commotion in the black market from afar.
"Lao Zhang, luckily you were well-informed and knew the police were coming, otherwise we would have been caught!"
"Yeah, luckily we were smart, if we were discovered, it would be troublesome!"
"Indeed, even though they are police officers and we are not bad, it is still a bit troublesome to be caught."
The people who were talking were none other than Lao Zhang's accomplices who had done business with Li Kailang.
"By the way, have the two people we traded with today left?"
"They all left, taking a shortcut. I watched them go back, and they weren't caught!"
"That's good!"
Obviously, they dared to sell bullets under the supervision of the police without being discovered, which obviously shows that they have some skills.
"Mr. Zhang, next time you run into an old customer, tell them to change the place where you do business."
"yes, Sir!"
Back to Li Kailang.
After several transports, everyone was finally sent to the police station.
On the way back, Xie Yong looked at Li Kailang intently and suddenly said:
"By the way, after Yan Bugui finishes taking his statement, you can take him back directly."
Li Kailang didn't quite hear clearly, and asked in confusion: "Officer Xie, what did you say?"
Xie Yong repeated, "I said, wait until Yan Bugui finishes taking his statement, then you take him back."
Li Kailang shook his head and said, "Officer Xie, this is not good. After all, Yan Bugui was arrested. You don't have to worry about me. Just do what you have to do."
Li Kailang didn't think he had the nerve to ask Xie Yong to release the person.
"I'm not kidding, I really want you to take it away, not only Yan Bugui, but everyone else as well."
Li Kailang was puzzled. "Why is this happening? Is this action tonight going to end so poorly?"
Xie Yong explained: "We are arresting the big ones and letting the small ones go. There are hundreds of people here. If we deal with them one by one, how long will it take? Just give them a warning."
“We’re mainly targeting those sellers.”
This made Li Kailang a little confused. Was today's grand operation going to end so hastily? Was it just raised high and then put down lightly?
He looked at Xie Yong, who just smiled gently.
"Let me explain this to you briefly. You should listen carefully today, but don't tell anyone else that it was me who said it."
Li Kailang nodded, "Don't worry, after tonight, I haven't heard anything."
"In fact, the entire black market is under the noses of our police. We tacitly allow the black market to operate."
"What?" Li Kailang was surprised.
“Is it hard to believe that our police would do such a thing?”
Li Kailang did not respond, but his puzzled expression was obvious.
"It's nothing. The black market is endless. If one is banned today, another one will open up in two days."
"If we continue to ban one and then open another, it will be a waste of police resources."
"It would be better to just open those few spots so that we can catch people. Besides, everyone buys and sells food in small quantities, even though it's not allowed openly."
"But in reality, each family has its own difficulties. If we really want to strictly prohibit it, so many people will die. It's better to just leave it as it is."
"The black market is not like prostitution, gambling or drugs. It is still a business, everyone exchanges what they have and what they don't have, and it can also avoid burning, killing and looting. It is essentially a good thing."
Hearing this, Li Kailang understood a little.
"So what's the purpose of today's behavior?"
"It's mainly the sellers who are too arrogant. They sell everything in large quantities. If we don't suppress them, they will disrupt the market."
"In the past few days, they have collected a lot of grain and pork from the countryside and sold them here, disrupting the market."
“This is something we don’t allow to happen. We can only acquiesce to it if it’s a small amount of buying and selling.”
"So that's it!" Li Kailang murmured to himself.
Xie Yong then instructed, "Do you understand now? Take Yan Bugui away later. It's late at night, and my police station doesn't have enough detention centers to hold them."
"Also, tell Yan Bugui to be more decisive when buying things in the future and stop being so nagging. He has a name on the register at our police station."
"Oh no, almost all the police stations in the entire city are registered."
"In the entire black market, he is the only one who dares to offer discounts. Everyone else wants to finish their business and leave quickly. He is the only one who dares to negotiate prices with others. We are really impressed by him!"
"If you ask other police stations who Yan Bugui is, they still don't know him. But if you ask who dares to give discounts on the black market, it has to be him!"
Suddenly, Li Kailang observed a moment of silence for Yan Bugui.
"Even if it comes to the black market, I'm convinced."
But on the other hand, Yan Bugui also got some benefits. He was registered as a police officer in various police stations, so it was not difficult to arrest him.
Half an hour later, after Yan Bugui finished his statement, he was called out by the police.
"Comrade police, where are you taking me?" Yan Bugui said fearfully.
The cold wind made not only his body but also his heart tremble, as if something bad was going to happen.
"Don't ask anything, just follow me!" The police didn't say much to him.
Yan Bugui walked, "Isn't this the way to come in? Are they going to take me to jail?"
Yan Bugui was daydreaming and soon arrived at the gate of the police station without noticing anything.
"We're here, you can get out now!" said the police.
"Ah?!" Yan Bugui asked subconsciously.
The police ignored him and turned away.
Just when Yan Bugui was puzzled, "Uncle, don't you want to leave? Do you still want to stay in here?"
"Xiao Li, are you here to rescue me?" Yan Bugui exclaimed.
"Shh!"
"Keep your voice down, you don't want everyone to know."
Yan Bugui quickly covered his mouth, but his eyes were still inquiring.
"Uncle, don't talk for now, let's go first."
Yan Bugui nodded quickly.
Li Kailang turned around and got into the car, watching Yan Bugui trying to walk back.
"Uncle, are you still going to walk back home so late? Why are you standing here? Hurry up and get in the car!"
Looking at Yan Bugui standing motionless in the cold wind, Li Kailang looked helpless.
"He looked so smart before, but now he's gone."
"Hey hey!" Yan Bugui responded quickly and got in the car.
He looked left and right curiously, and even reached out to touch it.
"It's my first time riding in a car, and it feels really good!"
As he spoke, Yan Bugui stuck his head out to blow the cold wind.
"Cough cough!"
After coughing twice, Yan Bugui looked at Li Kailang in the driver's seat and immediately said seriously:
"Xiao Li, you saved my life! If you have any problems in the future, come to me, I will definitely not refuse!"
Li Kailang smiled and said, "It's not that serious! We are all neighbors, there's no need to be so serious."
"No, if it weren't for you, I would have almost gone in. You are my savior!"
"No, no!" Seeing Yan Bugui so serious, he thought it was Li Kailang who saved him.
Li Kailang had no intention of exposing this.
Xie Yong might have had this intention when he asked him to take Yan Bugui away.
"Rumble--"
The car drove to the gate of the courtyard and the two got out.
"Uncle, open the door!"
The opening and closing of the courtyard door is controlled by Yan Bugui.
"Yes! Coming, coming!" Yan Bugui hurriedly took out the key and opened the door.
"Xiao Li, please come in first!" Yan Bugui did not go in immediately, but politely extended his hand to signal Li Kailang to come in first.
Li Kailang was naturally not polite, but he suddenly stopped.
"I almost forgot your stuff!"
Li Kailang turned around and took something out of the car.
"Uncle, this is your pork. Take it. This time it is returned to its original owner. Don't throw it away next time!"
Yan Bugui was somewhat surprised that the pork actually returned to his hands, as he had already prepared the equipment to throw away.
Suddenly, tears of emotion welled up in my eyes.
Li Kailang couldn't bear to see this and stepped into the yard.
I saw a group of people standing at the gate watching.
"Wow, such a big scene, are you here to welcome me?" Li Kailang couldn't help but say.
Although he said so, Li Kailang knew in his heart that everyone was welcoming him.
"The Third Master is in the back, go find him yourself."
After saying that, Li Kailang rushed straight home.
As soon as Li Kailang left, Yan Bugui also entered the courtyard.
There were at least twenty or thirty people who were also frightened by the scene.
"Why are you here so late at night?"
"Uncle, do you know what's going on outside? Why is there a big truck coming over with a rumbling sound? Could something have happened?" Liu Haizhong asked.
"Big truck?"
"How come you didn't come from outside? Didn't you hear it? The sound was so loud!" Liu Haizhong explained.
Yan Bugui remembered that he came back in Li Kailang's truck. They didn't think something bad had happened.
"Nothing, nothing, everyone go back to sleep, it's late at night and we still have to go to work!"
After saying this, Yan Bugui locked the door and rushed home.
Everyone was curious about what was happening outside, but the door was locked. Yan Bugui said nothing and no one asked any questions.
