Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

Since Zhang Bingkun called him brother, Zhao Wenhao also climbed up the ladder and called him Brother Zhang.

The matter was simple. This small problem was nothing to Zhang Bingkun. He believed that the other party would be able to help him handle it.

Of course, it was impossible for Zhao Wenhao to directly tell people how to do it.

The most important reason people gave him face was because of his relationship with Fang Jianxin. That was why he asked Zhang Bingkun to help inquire instead of asking him to help release the person.

How could Zhang Bingkun not hear the other party's hidden meaning?

As the deputy captain of the county criminal investigation brigade, if he couldn't handle such a small matter, he really wouldn't have the face to ask Zhao Wenhao to say a few good words to Fang Jianxin.

"Don't worry, brother. The director of your Hengtang Town Police Station is Liu Zhigang, an old friend of mine. I'll call him right now. You can wait at the police station entrance, or you can go in and see Liu Zhigang directly."

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Bingkun patted his chest and made a promise.

"Brother Zhang, my dad and his friends did violate the Public Security Punishment Regulations after all, and I accept the fine. But he's not young anymore, and his health has always been poor. I'm worried that he might get sick from being locked up, so I'm asking for your help."

Zhao Wenhao made his explanation somewhat against his will, but in fact, he really hoped that Zhao Aiguo would be locked up for a few days to teach him a lesson.

If Wei Chunlan hadn't been so desperate, he really wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this matter.

"Why fine? It's just some rural people playing cards to kill time. It's no big deal." Zhang Bingkun made the final decision and directly characterized the matter.

Of course, he has the confidence to say this. After all, the county criminal investigation brigade has a very strong voice in the entire system.

What's more, he has a very good relationship with Liu Zhigang, so he has the confidence to say so.

In response, Zhao Wenhao expressed his gratitude very politely.

The phone was hung up quickly, and Zhang Bingkun called Liu Zhigang immediately.

When Zhao Wenhao returned to the police station from the convenience store, someone was already waiting there.

"Excuse me, are you Zhao Wenhao?"

"I am, who are you?"

"I'm Wang Han, a police officer from our police station. Our director asked me to look for you here. He's in his office."

"Oh, thank you. Come, have a cigarette."

……

After a brief greeting, Zhao Wenhao was quickly taken to the police station director's office.

"Hey, Xiao Zhao, come and sit down."

Liu Zhigang seemed very enthusiastic. As soon as Zhao Wenhao came in, he politely took the initiative to step forward, took his hand, and welcomed him with a smile on his face.

"Captain Liu, I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble with a little matter at home." Zhao Wenhao quickly offered him a cigarette.

"Have mine, have mine." Liu Zhigang also picked up a pack of cigarettes from the table and took out a cigarette and handed it over. "You are Captain Zhang's friend, so you are my friend. No need to be polite."

After some compromise, the two finally took each other's cigarette.

"Last night, the police officer on duty received a report from the public that some people were gambling in large groups on Zhaojia Island. The amount involved was quite large, so the officer on duty brought several joint defense officers to investigate. Unexpectedly, your father was among them."

After some pleasantries, we naturally got to the point.

"Captain Liu, we're definitely at fault. We're willing to accept the fine, but my father's health has been poor. Do you think we can waive his detention?"

Zhao Wenhao's attitude was very positive, and he didn't seem to be excessive just because Zhang Bingkun had already greeted him.

"Xiao Zhao, you don't have to worry. I've already looked into the situation, and it's not that serious. The informant said the amount was enormous, but from what I understand, their gambling money totaled no more than 100 yuan, so how could it be that huge?"

Besides, our main duty is to treat illnesses and save lives. As long as we can correct our mistakes in the future, we are still good comrades."

Obviously, Liu Zhigang has already arranged everything properly, and as for fines, he certainly won't impose any.

Of course he had to give Zhang Bingkun some face for this little thing.

"Thank you, Director Liu!" Zhao Wenhao quickly stood up, shook Liu Zhigang's hand, and shook it vigorously. "If you need me in the future, just let me know."

After all, this was the first time the two of them met, and Liu Zhigang was also mindful of Zhao Wenhao's concerns. So, without further ado, he took Zhao Wenhao to the detention room to pick up Zhao Aiguo and the others.

"What happened? Who did it?"

As soon as the room was opened, Zhao Aiguo and the other five were seen squatting timidly in the corner. Zhao Aiguo was especially bruised, with blood stains on his face and nostrils.

It was originally considered a favor, but they didn't expect someone to beat them up, which made Liu Zhigang furious.

He stared sharply at the people behind him, especially a police officer who was in charge of the case.

"Chen Jianchun, I'm asking you, what exactly happened? Who did it?"

Chen Jianchun forced a smile and said, "Captain, these old guys were disobedient after they came in, so the joint defense team members couldn't help but teach them a lesson."

"You're just messing around!" Liu Zhigang slammed the door. "Is this how you solve cases? It's completely lawless. Chen Jianchun, write me a report right now, explaining everything clearly."

Chen Jianchun quickly nodded in agreement, and before leaving, he glanced at the trembling Zhao Aiguo with some resentment.

Zhao Wenhao said nothing, but just watched coldly. He felt that this matter was not that simple.

Nowadays, if you go to the police station and don’t cooperate, it is common to be beaten.

But with Zhao Aiguo's outwardly strong but inwardly weak character, this was clearly impossible. Moreover, among the five men, it was obvious that some were deliberately targeting Zhao Aiguo, otherwise he wouldn't have been beaten so badly.

There is something fishy going on, but this is not the time to deal with it. It won't be too late to find out later after getting them out.

"Xiao Zhao, I'm sorry, my subordinates were a little rash." Liu Zhigang looked at the situation with some embarrassment. "Don't worry, I will deal with it seriously and make them conduct a profound self-reflection."

Zhao Wenhao forced a smile and waved his hand, "Director Liu, they made a mistake and they deserve to be punished. This matter has already troubled you enough, how can I burden you with more trouble?"

The situation at this point was indeed difficult to explain, so Liu Zhigang could only have Zhao Aiguo and the other four brought out and Zhao Wenhao escorted them back. He repeatedly apologized before leaving.

This matter itself had nothing to do with Liu Zhigang. He was just trying to help out of kindness, so Zhao Wenhao certainly wouldn't blame him. He even thanked him again for his help and agreed to go to the county together sometime, calling Zhang Bingkun along, so the three of them could have a couple of drinks.
