City of Evil (Second Section Carpet Sweeping)
The military trucks, loaded with confiscated gaming machines and detained personnel, returned to the barracks. This was just a warm-up exercise; the carpet-style sweep had only just begun. The military police found it fun to catch people, but transporting the seized gaming machines was a chore.
Yu Fei, the squad leader of the military police, didn't need to do any physical labor. He took out half a cigar and looked at it, which he had bought in the hotel yesterday. He lit the cigar and walked into the underground detention room. The buildings on the ground were scarce in the barracks, except for the soldiers' dormitories, warehouses, armories, and detention rooms, all of which were located below ground. Yu Fei stood in front of the iron gate of the detention room, smoking and looking inside. It seemed like someone was talking inside. This couldn't be a case of false confession, could it? He casually picked up a loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "Duty soldier come over."
The soldier sitting in the duty room put down his magazine and ran out, "Sir."
"Are you the one who has been feeding them and giving them water?" Yu Fei deliberately asked the soldier with a stern face. The soldier hastily replied, "We haven't given them food or water since they were caught. Our squad's food expenses are part of the military budget, so we have to keep records of how it's spent. If we give them food, we won't be able to eat for the last few days of this month. And as for water, we didn't give them any either. We don't even have enough people on duty to take care of ourselves, let alone them."
"This is the right thing to do, without my order, don't let them eat or drink water. What if they go crazy and escape? What if they collude with each other, who will be responsible? You're also not allowed to go there, you're in charge here. If someone gives them food or water, report to me immediately, this is a serious act of treason." Yu Fei decided to show these people some color, he picked up the megaphone and repeated his words, "You just stay here, if you want to eat or drink water, that's okay, but first don't collude with each other, confess what you've done. I think some of you not only gamble, but also do drugs and things like that. When will you learn to respect the country and respect the law? You will be respected by the country and the law when you do. But don't worry, you won't stay here for long, soon we'll move you to a different place."
"Shut up, you dare to catch me? When the time comes, I'll make you kneel and beg for mercy." There were many guys locked in the detention room who had a strong background and weren't afraid to talk big. Yu Fei immediately took out a Winchester shotgun from the explosion-proof arsenal, loaded it with non-lethal rubber bullets, and fired several shots at the suspect who had just spoken. Although they were non-lethal bullets, being hit in the head or heart would still be fatal. Yu Fei was a well-trained professional and shot the criminals until they cried out in pain, scaring the others in the cell from speaking nonsense. He also took out a tear gas gun and fired one round into each cell, making everyone inside more obedient. The smoke made it hard for them to open their eyes or breathe, and no one had the chance to secretly deal with the military police. Anyway, their mobile phones and personal belongings were confiscated at the time of capture and locked in an evidence cabinet. Their connections couldn't do anything to protect these people, but some important figures' backgrounds were actively working to rescue them.
"The troops are lined up, the people and goods have been unloaded from the vehicles, everyone is waiting for you." A soldier came in to report and turned around to leave. Yu Fei said to the guard soldier: "If they don't behave, we'll fire tear gas until they obey management. There's a lot of tear gas here, if anything happens, just go and shoot, our ammunition is plentiful."
"Yes." The soldier happily took over the tear gas gun and patrolled the corridor with his weapon, inspecting each cell. The suspects inside naturally didn't dare to make a fuss when they saw such a weapon. Most of them thought that if they spent some money to find someone, they would eventually get out of here, so why bother causing trouble? After getting out, they could spend some money to bribe the garrison commander and let him deal with this disobedient soldier. There was no need to make a fuss in this place.
Yu Fei led the team to start a carpet search, and all places that violated current laws were sealed one by one. The gendarmerie's car did not sound the siren or turn on the warning lights, quietly passing through the bustling streets, and many people did not realize that their way of life and economic foundation were about to be completely changed.
Wen Qian arrived at the Wanghaijiao Police Station for work in the morning and met the new director as soon as she entered the office. Since most of the police officers in the station were either dead or injured, she naturally became a veteran of the station. The new director looked through two files and said to Wen Qian: "The people transferred here are all inexperienced young people, including interns from the police school. Those who go out on patrol are basically unfamiliar with the terrain and don't know the area. You can take the lead in helping the patrol team first. You can receive patrol weapons and car keys. You'll be paired with Xiao Yan as a support unit. Other patrol units will call you for assistance when needed."
"Yes, sir." Wen Qian and Xiao Yan couldn't continue sitting in the office, so they went to retrieve their car keys. The new armory manager at the bureau had also been replaced by a newcomer from the academy, who didn't seem to be a graduate judging by his police badge. After receiving a Winchester shotgun and an M-16 rifle, the two of them went to start their patrol in their vehicle.
Xiao Yan had just driven onto the main street when she saw a military vehicle from the Garrison Brigade speeding by, "So many cars are mobilized so early in the morning, what do they want to do? I've lived here for so many years and have never seen the Garrison Brigade busier than the police." Xiao Yan said as she followed them in her car.
"The newcomers always have to do something, I still don't quite believe they can turn around the local situation, the high local crime rate isn't something that happened overnight." Wen Qian was chatting with her when a police car of the Crown Victoria type sped past the military vehicle, Wen Qian turned her head to see the person driving the Jeep was a soldier from the Military Police Battalion, and she guessed that Yu Fei must be in the car.
The military police vehicle sped quickly to the front of a large building, and the military police immediately jumped off the truck and blocked the front and back doors. The comprehensive building had shopping malls, hotels, and apartments, but it was unclear what the military police were going to do. The military police sealed off the front and back doors in an orderly manner, with soldiers standing spiritly, holding M-16 rifles. A small team of people holding guns rushed into the building.
The police patrol car was parked in the parking lot, and after lowering the window glass, Wen Qian watched the gendarmes' every move. Before long, a moving company's truck also arrived, and many people wearing handcuffs were escorted out of the building. From their clothing, Wen Qian judged that it was a game hall that had been raided, and even staff members were arrested. Then, the moving company's workers took all the confiscated gambling machines and other game consoles out of the building. After the gendarmes' truck was full, they loaded them onto the moving company's vehicle. At least over 100 gambling machines were seized so easily.
"They won't be thinking of getting rich, will they? Sealing off these places for a few days and those big bosses will give them money, then the staff and machines will all be returned to them. Don't believe me, just wait and see." Xiao Yan still didn't quite trust the military police, she thought that if the police were doing this, the military police would definitely do the same.
The military police truck was equipped with machine guns and drove back and forth in a majestic manner. Xiao Yan started the police car to follow the military police vehicle, and the convoy soon returned to the barracks. Xiao Yan parked the police car near the military police detachment and began eating pizza for breakfast that he had bought along the way. Wen Qian was also not used to eating at home, she drank a cup of latte while eating a sandwich.
The gate of the military police corps opened quickly, and the moving company's vehicles came out first. After a while, all the cars of the military police corps drove out, then accelerated on the highway. "What are they doing? If they catch one family per day to deliver money, people will queue up, how inconvenient it is to do things. They must be billionaires if they go out once a day. I estimate that before their service ends, they can all be listed on the Forbes rich list."
"They left, and we continued to follow them." Wen Qian held a cup of coffee in one hand and a sandwich in the other, planning to continue watching like a spectator. Xiao Yan had no choice but to put down her unfinished breakfast and continue driving to follow the patrol car of the constabulary. Wen Yong drove the Land Rover Jeep and saw a police car appear in the rearview mirror, "A Crown Victoria police car is coming, what's it for, escorting us or monitoring us?"
"Who cares, we'll just keep arresting people. I bet the detention cells will be full soon. We should order some activity boards to serve as temporary detention cells and also get enough iron bars for reinforcement. The training ground is too small." Yu Fei had already planned to fill his barracks with convicts and then let the local judges work themselves to death.
"We can find professional security companies, in our country's law enforcement agencies can use professional security companies and security consulting firms, to crack the case can also use bounty hunters to help arrest suspects, why not we find this kind of company to assist." Wen Yong already had a plan, in many US military bases they hire security guards, which can save troops, many prisons in our country have started using professional security companies to make up for the shortage of prison police.
"Don't look for the company I used to work for, once it's checked by the higher-ups, they'll definitely think we're taking kickbacks. Can't we find a company that has no connection with us in the past?" Yu Fei didn't want to be affected by small things in his future development. Wen Yong said: "Then we can bid, the National Defense Department Contract Bureau and Procurement Bureau will review the project, after all, it's the country's money."
I'll just write a report, first let the Garrison Command send reinforcements, we need at least an engineer company to expand the prison, and a garrison company to guard the barracks, warehouses and detention rooms. Yu Fei sat in the car writing the report on his handheld computer, after finishing it he sent it to the Garrison Command via email.
The detention room was filled with people caught by Yu Fei, and the soldiers felt very tired. It seemed that their shift was about to end, but Yu Fei still looked like he wasn't giving up. The confiscated gambling machines were thrown outside the warehouse, and two teams of soldiers were preparing to put away their knives and guns when Yu Fei ordered: "Wen Yong, take them to continue patrolling, set up a checkpoint in the city center, inspect all private vehicles passing by, carefully check if there are any drugs or weapons inside. If found, immediately detain them and confiscate the vehicle, bring everything back."
"Yes, sir." Wen Yong really enjoyed driving and the task of checking vehicles was also something he liked. He wanted to try out every type of vehicle, and this time he could indulge himself.
