Cosma Empire

"How is it? Did you gain anything this time?" Xiu En angrily took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit it for himself. Then, as if he remembered something, he took out another one and gave it to another agent in the room. .

A few months after leaving, Xiu En has long lost the high spirits he had when he first took office as the director of the Contraband Administration. That Xiu En.

It is not easy to be the director of the Contraband Investigation Bureau. The biggest problem is that Xiu En has been working on the front line before. If you ask him to arrest someone, he may be very capable in investigating some cases, but let him and a group of officials born playing politics He is still far from enough to compete within the framework of the rules. For example, in the current case, the target of the investigation is Karur, a well-known bootlegger in Tenel City.

While Ernst was alive and dead, and Du Lin was in prison, he completely ruled the smuggled liquor market in Tenel City. His words were the rules, and his emotions were the prices. If he is happy, there may be unlimited supply of high-strength alcohol in the bar at night. If he is angry, sorry, all high-strength alcohol in bars will enter the stage of limited supply, and the price will become higher.

Huge wealth brought Karur an astonishing amount of wealth, and when the wealth reached a certain level, it was enough to interfere with politics.

Just like now, it is clear that Xiu En knows almost everything about Karur, but he just has no evidence to bring Karur to justice. Several times he was close to touching Karur's butt, but he always managed to dodge him at critical moments. This made Xiu En suspect that someone inside the investigation bureau had sold out the internal information for money. He combed the investigation bureau twice, but found nothing.

The agents who broke into the Karur smuggling group sent back information yesterday, saying that Karur was going to pick up the goods at the dock, and there were a thousand boxes of smuggled wine on three cargo ships at two o'clock in the middle of the night. Immediately after receiving the news, Xiu En organized a twelve-member team of the most trustworthy agents in the investigation bureau, and brought them two automatic rifles, and told them to get the evidence. The reason why he didn't lead the team himself was because when he was about to lead the team himself, an informant told him that somewhere on the outskirts of the city there was a secret warehouse where Karur hid bootleg alcohol.

As he had done several times before, he missed again.

The empty streets on the edge of the city were empty, and the doors of several huge warehouses were open. When he entered, there was nothing in the warehouses, except for some glass shards left on the ground and the strong smell of wine in the air. After losing again, he pinned all his hopes on another team, and immediately called the agent in charge of the operation last night to the office as soon as he returned to the Bureau of Investigation.

Seeing the silent detective with his head bowed in front of him, Xiu En felt a little bad feeling in his heart, and he asked again in disbelief, "Have you caught anyone? Where is the goods? If there are goods, it's fine!"

The detective in front of him pursed his lips and said sorry,

"We waited on the pier all night, but found nothing. There was no pick-up person, no delivery ship, not even a ghost."

Xiu En clenched his fist, raised it as if he wanted to wave it, and then slowly lowered it. He knew that this had nothing to do with his agents. He had done this many times. Most of the information was true and false, and most of them seemed to be false. Even if some of it is true, it will end up being a step late for various reasons. He didn't understand what the problem was, why Karur seemed to know what he was going to do, and could avoid it in time every time.

He patted the detective on the shoulder and said a few words of comfort, "Our enemy is very cunning, we will try many painful failures before catching him, but I believe that no matter how cunning the prey is, it is impossible to escape the hunter As long as he reveals a flaw, he will lose everything, and all our efforts will be fully rewarded in the end!"

"Work hard, it's not your fault, take my words to all team members!"

After the agent left, Xiu En closed the door. He walked to the window and looked at the city hall at the end of the street not far away. He already had a vague idea, why he couldn't catch Karur , must have something to do with the vested interests in this city. Whether it is a member of parliament, the mayor, the police department, the fire department, the medical and education security bureau... almost everyone is on the opposite side of him.

In this city, the police are watching him, the gangsters on the streets are watching him, and even at this moment, some hidden people are watching him standing and smoking behind the glass window.

Curly blue smoke billowed up, he squinted his eyes slightly, how to break the situation? How can he catch Karur if everyone is staring at him, preventing these people from losing control over information and intelligence, and not being able to hide themselves?

Xiu En felt great pressure. The pressure came from the mayor's constant inquiries, the governor's expectations of him, and the pressure he put on himself. He took a deep breath, threw the hot cigarette butt on the ground, and crushed it with his toes. If you can't follow the rules, then don't follow the rules!

At the same time, Du Lin, who spent a hundred days of peaceful life in prison, was finally released from prison. He was able to be released from prison early thanks to the warden for his "care" and applied to the State Prison Management Office for commutation of sentences for Du Lin and others, which was approved. The warden couldn't take it anymore. The lives of his family members were always in the hands of others. In addition to the frequent "sudden deaths" and "accidents" of prisoners some time ago, some people have questioned his management level.

Prison is a vertical management system. It is difficult for people outside the system to interfere with things within the system, but it is much easier for people inside the system to interfere. In order to prevent Du Lin and the others from doing anything to make him more passive during the last period, he simply sent all these troubles out.

The first time he was in prison and the first time he was released from prison gave Du Lin a special sense of accomplishment. He looked back at the closed iron gate, smiled and patted Duffer on the shoulder. Although this trip was a bit dangerous, but fortunately there was basically no major problem, and now it was his turn to make a move.

During this period of time, news from the outside world has been continuously sent to Du Lin through some channels. He knows that he and Dufo are safe now. All the mayor's energy was involved in Xiu En's body, and he had no time and energy to care about the fate of this little man. At the same time, he also had a rough guess about the person who might be behind the scenes. What he has to do now is to have a good meal, and then catch the person who stretched out his hands behind his back, and then find the person who made him He spent a whole hundred days in prison to settle accounts.

In the distance, three cars quickly approached the prison and stopped not far from Du Lin and the others. Ellis couldn't help laughing in relief as he got out of the first car. During this period of time, he was breathing the free air outside, but he was the most tired person in the hometown association. It is not only necessary to collect intelligence, but also to find as many people as possible who will continue to pay attention to Du Lin under the circumstances of limited resources.

Fortunately, he held on, for which he paid the price of a sudden weight loss.

Several people hugged and got into the car. On the way back, Du Lin, who was sitting in the back seat, kept silent. Ellis wanted to say something, but he could only keep his mouth shut. Seeing the outline of the city appear in everyone's line of sight, Du Lin suddenly said, "The free air is really different from the air inside, and it smells sweet when you breathe. Ellis, I haven't met anyone in this period of time." What's the trouble?"

Ellis replied with a smile: "I'm just a small person, no one will notice me, everything is very peaceful except for being a little tired."

"Then please tell me, who is behind my back trying to take away my most precious thing?" During this time in prison, Du Lin often thought about who was most likely to do something to him. After filtering out all the people who I have contacted and those who have no contact but are interested, finally a few people were successfully shortlisted for the "Black Hand Award" circle. He now needs Ellis to prove from the side who is the winner of the grand prize this time.

This time is thanks to the children in the stormtroopers, especially Savy. Ellis and the few remaining fellow members are basically known by the forces in the city. Once they appear on the street, they will be easily noticed by some interested people. On the contrary, it is the children of the stormtroopers. People don't pay attention to these children at all, and they just provide them with the greatest convenience.

Two months ago, the two unlucky guys who attempted to assassinate Du Lin were frightened by Du Lin and jumped off the building on bail for medical treatment. The moment they entered the hospital for treatment, they were targeted by several children at the same time. They would never have imagined that the children playing by the side of the road were here to follow them, so they didn't deliberately hide their whereabouts. After about a week in the hospital, they were released in wheelchairs.

After being discharged from the hospital, the two first returned to their home in the south of the city to recuperate for a period of time. During this time, a person often came and went to the place where they lived. After investigation, this person was the cousin of one of them. About a month ago, after this guy went to visit the two, the two left the house angrily pushing the wheels on the wheelchair. They walked around a nearby park first, and then went to a barbecue restaurant in the city center.

About twenty minutes later, an unimaginable guy also entered this barbecue restaurant.
