Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

"Deputy Director Zhao, your Dongguang police have access to information channels in Mingzhu, so you should know some information about criminals in Mingzhu, right?" Li Xiao turned to Wei Shang, who had been sitting there staring at the ceiling since entering the room, and asked.

“To be honest, we do have some information about Mingzhu. Things like ecstasy have only become popular in Mingzhu in the last two years. One pill costs only thirty yuan, which is just the price of a cup of milk tea for most people in Mingzhu! So in the past few years, this kind of thing has become rampant in the Mingzhu market, and since it has appeared here, it will probably become popular soon as well. The most important thing is that the manufacturing cost of this thing is only a quarter of that of rock sugar, but the output can reach four times!” Wei Shang said in a calm tone.

“The Mingzhu police have compiled some statistics. Now, people who use this stuff in Mingzhu account for half of all drug users! In just two years!” Wei Shang said in a heavy tone.

Upon hearing Wei Shang's words, Li Xiao and Chen Qingquan both gasped in shock! Such a terrifying rate of spread—no wonder Deputy Director Zhao came personally. If this isn't controlled, even with the best anti-drug efforts on the mainland, it could easily become widespread, and the harm would be immense!

"Therefore, I hope that you in Sihanoukville can cooperate fully with the Weimin people. After all, we are here to protect ordinary people from being poisoned! This is our duty!" Wei Shang said earnestly.

"Please rest assured, the Sihanoukville police will definitely cooperate fully with Director Li!" Chen Qingquan dared not have any ulterior motives now. This thing was too dangerous. If they didn't nip it in the bud now, he might as well take off his clothes!

"Comrade Wei Shang, don't worry. We already know the dangers of this stuff, so we will absolutely not let it spread across our territory. Qingquan, take Director Li back to Xigang now and treat this ecstasy like rock candy! Start the operation immediately!" Li Xiao's expression became more serious than ever before.

"Yes!" Chen Qingquan and Li Weimin stood up at the same time, and then left the conference room together.

"I didn't ask you earlier, why did you come in person?" Li Xiao asked Wei Shang after Chen Qingquan and Li Weimin left.

"I had no choice. That old bastard Li Weimin said he wanted to steal your credit, so he sent me, his classmate, to take the fall for him!" Wei Shang said with a shrug and a smile.

"Haha, Li Weimin is still as unreliable as ever!" Li Xiao said with a laugh.

“Teacher Li, you really need to increase your investment in this rock candy and ecstasy matter and try to solve the case as soon as possible. According to the information I have, this stuff is probably made locally, because I once destroyed an ecstasy processing plant in Mingzhu, and one of the people who escaped came from here!” Wei Shang said.

"Do you think he might be able to develop the technology?" Li Xiao asked.

"Definitely. This guy is said to have brought a group of people to join that drug lord! He usually just delivers goods for him!" Wei Shang said helplessly.

"It seems this is just the beginning!" Li Xiao's expression was somewhat subdued.

"Sigh, these are troublesome times! Especially now, with the Lunar New Year just around the corner, there's a huge flow of people, and this situation is causing a lot of inconvenience for our investigation work!" Wei Shang said.

“Sigh, we have to investigate no matter how difficult it is! But since this person came from Mingzhu, do you think he will continue to sell his products in Mingzhu after he finishes making them?” Li Xiao suddenly asked.

"That's really hard to say! I'll make a call!" Wei Shang thought of what Li Xiao had said and took out his phone to dial a number!

"Hello? This is Zhao Weishang. Check if there are any new people selling ecstasy in Mingzhu recently!" Weishang said directly.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll give you two days!” Wei Shang then added.

"Deputy Director Zhao, who is this call to? Mingzhu's side?" Li Xiao asked curiously. For Wei Shang to speak in such a commanding tone, it must be a subordinate. Could it be his mole?

Of course, Li Xiao wasn't curious, because he knew that the Deputy Director Zhao in front of him was a member of the Zhao family in Beijing, and he also knew that Wei Shang was mainly in charge of the work of the Mingzhu Society, preparing for the return.

Sometimes Li Xiao was also envious. As long as Mingzhu's gang could get back on track or be eliminated after the return, it would be a great achievement. When they met again, he would salute Wei Shang!

“The informants in those gangs should have enough time to gather information in two days! If that person continues to sell to Mingzhu, then they definitely won’t escape their notice.” Wei Shang didn’t hide anything. He was quite familiar with Li Xiao, after all, Li Xiao had been his university teacher.

"That's fine, let's go. It's almost noon, so I'll treat you to a good meal at our canteen. Our chef is famous!" Li Xiao said, glancing at the time.

Meanwhile, Chen Qingquan took Li Weimin directly back to the Xigang City Public Security Bureau. Upon arriving at the bureau, Chen Qingquan immediately summoned Li An and Lin Qiangfeng to his office.

When Li An and Lin Qiangfeng arrived at Chen Qingquan's office, the first thing they saw was Li Weimin sitting across from Chen Qingquan's desk, drinking tea.

"Section Chief Li, what brings you here?" Lin Qiangfeng asked with a face full of curiosity.

"Does Qiangfeng know Director Li?" Chen Qingquan asked curiously.

“We’ve met once before!” Lin Qiangfeng said.

“That makes things easier. It just so happens that Director Li is here to cooperate with us on the high-purity rock sugar case,” Chen Qingquan said.

"Director Chen! We're already investigating that case!" Li An said, somewhat surprised.

I've been following this case for a long time, and Lin Qiangfeng already stole the credit. Now, how come another one has appeared? And this person is from a neighboring province.

“We have some leads from Weimin that point to Sihanoukville, and Deputy Director Zhao from Dongguang came in person. We need to pay even more attention to that little pill that appeared with the rock candy!” Chen Qingquan said with a serious expression.

"That little pill? But I heard that little pill doesn't have a market around here?" Li An also had his own sources of information.

"No, it's because those people bought them but never put them up for sale!" Lin Qiangfeng said.

"Oh? It seems you know quite a bit about Qiangfeng!" Li Weimin's eyes lit up. Knowing that the drug dealers didn't sell pills proved that Lin Qiangfeng had informants within the drug dealers. As for why he wasn't arrested, he probably wanted to play the long game and catch a bigger fish!

“I know a little bit; we have our own information channels.” Clearly, Lin Qiangfeng did not want to cooperate with Li Weimin.
