The night was as dark as ink, and it was so dark that I couldn't see my five fingers, and it felt like it was going to rain again.

On the northernmost part of Pingyang Village, several houses were built at the foot of the mountain. Because of their high terrain, one of the people seemed to be separated from the entire village.

At this time, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. Looking around, the big Pingyang Village was already pitch black, but the lights were on in the upper room of this family. It seemed that there were people entering and leaving the gate in the darkness.

Lei Yu, the director of Xia Jianhe Town Police Station, had already arrived here. At this time, they were crawling behind a pile of wheat grass not far from the family. Behind them were several police officers from the town, as well as more than a dozen fully armed Xing Jing sent by the Municipal Bureau to assist the operation. It seems that the Municipal Bureau is very important to this operation.

When he set off in the evening, Secretary Wang said that he would follow him and act together. Finally, Xia Jian told him that he, the old secretary who was about to retire, would he have to leave someone to take care of him? Instead of doing this, it would be better to leave him at work to save worry.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the police officers sent to monitor the situation at close range finally came back. He said that the gambling had begun, and five or six people came from the city, and there were about a dozen people in Pingyang Town. They also had guard posts outside the yard, so if someone approached, if these guards were discovered, they would definitely be notified inside.

He fought alone, even if he beat Xia Jian together, he didn't care. However, he was an amateur in arresting operations like this, so he had the most important thing to know himself. From beginning to end, he didn't say a word.

Lei Yu called out a few police officers, gave them a low voice, and then said in a low voice: "Everyone is ready! Let's go immediately after the order. Among the people arrested tonight, some of them may cry with evil spirits, so everyone should be careful."

Suddenly, a cat moan came from a distance. When Lei Yu heard it, he immediately shouted in a low voice: "Go!" The policeman was really not blowing. He heard a few whizzing sounds, and everyone rushed out and soon disappeared into the night.

Lei Yu pulled Xia Jian and said, "Just follow me, don't rush forward. There are policemen in front. They are all professionally trained and they are all good at arresting people. If you rush up, it will affect others."

Xia Jian didn't say anything, and followed Lei Yu silently to touch the yard. With a bang, the door was pushed open suddenly. More than a dozen policemen rushed up and surrounded the door with the lights on.

"Don't move!" With a shout, several of the police had rushed in. A mess of noise came from the house.

Lei Yu rushed in with Xia Jian. Lei Yu held a pistol in one hand and shouted loudly with the other: "Everyone is squatting down honestly. The guards at the door are all criminal police. The guns in their hands are not eye-catching."

A small house, on the big pit, and on the ground, there were all people squatting. I saw that the banknotes scattered in the pit were all gone, and even there were a lot of them on the ground. There were also tied up in one piece, which made Xia Jian stunned. He never expected that the people who came to gambling in Pingyang Town, which was not very wealthy, could actually take out so much money.

There is really a way for the police to arrest people. They went over and slapped the belts of these people first, and then made them squat in a row with barefoot one by one, holding their hands on their heads.

Suddenly, a thin and short guy rushed over from the kang. As soon as he hit the ground, he felt like he had a spring. With a whoosh, he rushed out of the door.

As the saying goes, in the folk, Xia Jian has seen this guy's agility, but when he thought of this, he ran out and the man was thrown in from outside as if he was thrown into sacks. Before he could get up, two policemen in the house rushed up and handcuffed him in his hands.

The people who had thoughts in the house just now should be honest. The money on these people, plus those scattered on the ground, were actually packed with a bag when the police finished cleaning it, and at least 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

The police car quickly drove to the gate, and these people were taken away one by one, but what surprised Xia Jian was that there was no shadow of Xiong Sanqiang among these people. Could it be that Secretary Wang had mistaken his suspicion? Xia Jian returned to the town government with doubts.

"It's not that Xiong Sanqiang is gone!" Secretary Wang saw the problem from Xia Jian's expression.

Xia Jian nodded and said, "It's really not him. He has arrested more than 20 people in total. There shouldn't be even one who escaped the net. Maybe he didn't go."

"No, my feeling should be right. Why don't we go to Xiong Sanqiang's house now to see if he is at home? If he is there, then we will really wrong him," Secretary Wang said with a heavy face.

Xia Jian thought for a while and said, "Okay! Then let's go." Xia Jian said, then glanced at his watch. It was already two o'clock in the night.

Xiong Sanqiang's father saw Xia Jian and Secretary Wang coming to his house in the middle of the night, which really scared the old man. He pulled Xia Jian's sleeve and lowered his voice and asked, "Is something wrong with this bastard Sanqiang again?"

"No! We came here just to ask you if Sanqiang is at home, if he is not there, where did he go? Do you know?" Xia Jian also put his voice to the lowest point. He was afraid that Xiong Sanqiang's mother would hear it and affect her mood.

Xiong Sanqiang's father then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Didn't he work in the town government today? He didn't come back until very late. He carried a few kilograms of fruit in his hand. After that, he said Deputy Mayor Zhao was back. He wanted to go over and see him, but he said that he would not come back if he was too late."

"Oh! That's it! Then it's okay. He's back. You go to bed early! We're leaving." Secretary Wang said, pulling Xia Jian away. Mr. Xia Jian felt that Secretary Wang's approach was a bit strange, but he didn't want to ask at Xiong Sanqiang's house.

After leaving Xiong Sanqiang's house, Secretary Wang whispered to Xia Jian: "Deputy Mayor Zhao and Xiong Sanqiang are card friends. He is back tonight. He should have made an appointment with Xiong Sanqiang to play cards. What should you do now?"

"It's easy to deal with! Wherever Deputy Mayor Zhao's home is, you can take me there. They play cards together, so it shouldn't be too big. We're giving him face if we don't bring the police. If he dares to do anything, call Director Lei and ask Director Lei to take the police over," Xia Jian said coldly.

Secretary Wang sighed and said, "This Zhao Delin really can't change his shit. He's all like this. He doesn't learn well yet. He works with him. Everyone has a promising future, but he can't do it even if he is the deputy mayor." Secretary Wang looks a little disappointed.

It turned out that Deputy Mayor Zhao's home was located in the west of Pingyang Village, and it only took twenty minutes to walk there. A not-so-large yard, you can see from the wall that Deputy Mayor Zhao's home was not doing well.

The door was closed tightly. Xia Jian gently pushed it with his hand and found that it was locked inside. However, Xia Jian lay on the crack in the door and looked in, and found the problem. Because at this time, there were not many houses in the entire town with lights on, but the house in the west of Zhao Delin's house in the house of Zhao Delin was still brightly lit. After listening carefully, there were also the sound of mahjong collisions.

"They are really playing mahjong. I'll pass through the wall of the courtyard, and you're waiting for me to open the door for you." Xia Jian said that, and he jumped and the person got on the wall.

Xia Jian is a veteran when it comes to overturning the wall, but the night is too dark, and Xia Jian dare not jump down rashly. If there is something underneath, it would be a trivial matter for him to fall, but it would be bad if it makes a noise.

Thinking of this, Xia Jian squatted down and slipped down the wall. He was all on the ground. His hands lying on the wall were slapped, and he landed smoothly.

Xia Jian stood in the yard and observed for a while, and found that the sound of mahjong in the room kept ringing, and there were two or three yelling and scolding from time to time. Maybe someone lost too much and was scolding him for being unlucky.

Xia Jian touched the gate, fumbled and opened the gate, and then pulled Secretary Wang toward the west room of Zhao Delin's family. The two tiptoed, like thieves.

When I arrived at the door, I heard the sound of mahjong inside mixed with laughter. I heard Zhao Delin laughing and said, "I said, "Third Strongest! If you ask Mayor Xia to borrow money, you have to borrow more. Borrowing this little is not enough to lose."

"Hey! He is also a poor man. Didn't you say that he was the boss of a startup group? He should have made a fortune over the years, but there was only one in his wallet, and he gave it to me." Xiong Sanqiang said with a sigh.

When Secretary Wang heard this, he wanted to rush in, but Xia Jian pulled him, meaning not to worry and let them live a good time. Sure enough, someone inside said, "Xiong Sanqiang, aren't you afraid that Mayor Xia will know that you used his money to gamble and cause trouble for you?"

"I have to take care of myself even if I play a card. He, the mayor, has taken too much control!" Xiong San said in a powerful voice.

Hearing this, Xia Jian could no longer listen, so he lifted it up and kicked it. The door of the room opened with a rush, and the few people sitting on the kang playing cards were frightened. They were all stunned.

Xia Jian and Secretary Wang walked over side by side. Xiong Sanqiang, who came to his senses, jumped off the kang and ran away if he wanted to. But Xia Jian stood here, where could he run.

Xia Jian's body did not move, and his right leg suddenly flew out horizontally. Xiong Sanqiang, who was running over, was swept out by Xia Jian's legs, and lay on the ground with a bang. He fell for a long time and did not get up.

The other three people on the kang were frightened. Zhao Delin stuttered: "Xia Jian! You are too much! You are just a mayor, what right do you have to break into a private house?"

Xia Jian walked over, grabbed the tablecloth, and then swung it hard, and the mahjong and banknotes on the table flew up. Zhao Delin was so scared that he shivered all over. He thought Xia Jian was going to attack him. Because Xia Jian's move just now made Xiong Sanqiang lie on the ground and not yet get up.

"Zhao Delin, although you no longer work in Pingyang Town, as an old man, I have to say a few words to you. You are so unreliable. You actually pulled Xiong Sanqiang to play cards. Do you know? Just now, Director Lei, with the assistance of the city criminal police team, destroyed the casino at the east end of Pingyang Village in one fell swoop, arrested more than 20 people, and sent them to the city," Secretary Wang said coldly.

Xia Jian glanced at Zhao Delin and said, "Mayor Zhao, you just said that we had broken into private houses. It seems that you understand the law very well. Then I will report the case now and let the police arrest us?"
