In the office, Lu Ming looked at a blank piece of paper with only the beginning of a few words written on it. After thinking about it, it was meaningless, so he picked up the paper, rolled it into a ball and threw it into the wastebasket, and wasted it with the boundary committee members. Time is really not necessary.

There was a knock on the door, and Da Tou came in. He smiled and said, "Boss, I lost my badge."

Lu Ming smiled: "I haven't lost it for a long time. Who lost the badge this time?"

"You have a very good relationship with me, Lao Catfish, Catfish..." Big Tou smiled and walked to the desk.

Lu Ming opened the locked drawer, took out a blue flying eagle medal and threw it to Datou, "Here..."

Datou chuckled: "No one among these boys will know that they lost their medals. Boss, you know every time. I didn't hide it from you, and you weren't angry at all. Moreover, the replacement badges were not paid for by me." The high-priced imitations made from outside may look like the real thing, but they are actually the real thing.”

Lu Ming smiled: "Everyone is required to wear medals. Even when they go outside, the badges must be pinned on their underwear and shirts. In fact, it is to give them a sense of belonging. Don't forget at all times that you are a member of the force of freedom. As for losing it, Of course I’m going to be angry, but he’s still very unfocused and doesn’t care about very important things, so I’m angry.”

Datou nodded understandingly. Usually when core members lost their badges, they came to him secretly. Although he received new medals from his boss, he still had to replenish them after several days, saying that he secretly found masters outside to imitate them. , it will take several days to polish it to look like the real thing.

Of course, it has been a long time since I lost my badge. After all, I was afraid of being discovered by my boss.

"Old Catfish? This name is interesting. Does it suit you well?" Lu Ming asked casually.

"Yes, he came from Longbei Province three years ago. His family is in his hometown, called Linhe City. When he earns money, he sends it home and spends his life's money to support his family. I think this person can't be wrong. After a while, it’s true that apart from being taciturn and a bit stupid, there is nothing I can say about being a friend, and I am also loyal to you.”

"Actually, he is very fond of the badge. He lost it for some reason. He doesn't have many friends and spends all day in the club. But like a transparent person, almost no one will pay attention to him. Isn't that right? I don't know what to do all afternoon. Yes, he said he was sleeping in the dormitory, and then he woke up and found that the badge was missing."

Lu Ming nodded, "We have a big training camp tonight, right? Even though we have done it a few times, we still have to pay attention to safety and check whether the ammunition has been replaced with empty bags. For many things, I am afraid that after a long time, I will become numb and lose my mind. It’s easy to get into trouble.”

"Don't worry! I know, you have reprimanded me several times!" Big Tou chuckled.

At this time, the phone rang. Lu Ming saw that it was the "red line" and picked it up. Seeing this, he made a walking gesture, bowed slightly, and walked out.

"Commissioner Lu, there's a big case. Oh, I, I'm Sha Dahai!" The voice over there was a bit familiar, but the name Lu Ming could only be confirmed.

Now Sha Dahai has long clarified his position as chief of the criminal section of the Beiguan Patrol Bureau.

"Dahai, what case?" Lu Ming felt slightly strange, what case should he talk to about?

"It's like this, the Admiralty Hotel, five boundary committee members, four were killed, one was seriously injured, but it looked like he wouldn't survive. They were all shot. They should have worn silencers. The hotel owner only discovered it a quarter of an hour ago. , call the police.”

Lu Ming was suddenly startled.

Sha Dahai sighed and said: "It seems that it was because of the robbery. Next door to the five committee members, there was a northern businessman who brought more than thirty gold bars. Now he was looted and everyone was killed. The murderer was from

The merchant's room can be accessed through the window."

"Maybe some committee members alerted the murderer and witnessed the murderer or something. Therefore, the murderer chased them indoors and shot them all."

Lu Ming frowned: "The northern merchant? The gold bars he brought, how did you know?"

"He has a letter of introduction from a place called Linhe in Longbei Province. A letter written by some institution there to the East China Sea Imperial Bank proves that the origin of the gold bars on the victim is innocent and can be deposited in this way."

Saying that, Sha Dahai sighed, "People in the north still don't understand Donghai. How can our Donghai bank use a letter of introduction to prove it? If the little yellow croaker comes, then it will definitely be deposited. If you want to exchange red banknotes, then you don't need it."

Say. Besides, this northerner is used to carrying so many gold bars and staying in a small hotel, thinking that he is being very careful. It’s really... ugh!"

Lu Ming frowned and suddenly asked: "Longbei Linhe?"

"Yes..." Sha Dahai was a little surprised. He didn't know why Commissioner Lu cared about this. "Wait until I read this letter again!" After a pause, "Commissioner, this is Linhe City, Longbei Province."

"Any other discoveries?" Lu Ming asked.

"No more!" Sha Dahai said worriedly, "Four border committee members died, maybe five, and they were stewed with one spoon. This is a shocking case. I'm so worried. Besides, you should be the first to do it.

You know this, right? That’s why I’m talking to you. I reported it immediately, but it’s not my turn to investigate this case. Now, I’m responsible for guarding the scene!” He said with a wry smile.

"Okay, Dahai, this kind of thing is not your responsibility. Don't worry, you won't be blamed!"

Sha Dahai over there smiled bitterly and agreed.

Lu Ming hung up the phone, pondered for a while, picked up the intercom microphone, pressed a few numbers, "Call Datou!"

…

Outside, the lanterns were first turned on and gradually turned into lampposts like torches.

Lu Ming sat in the office with the lights dark, feeling the time change outside the window as night fell and gradually turned into late night.

The phone rang suddenly. It was a dedicated line that could be dialed directly from outside.

Lu Ming picked up.

"Commissioner Lu, it's good if you're here, I'm Jordan!" Over there, Jordan looked relieved.

"It's urgent and I need to meet you. I'll be at the intersection of Kuiyang Road and Sanhe Road, in the third alley from the east. You have to keep it secret and come alone, okay?"

"Well, I'll be there in a minute!"

…

The place Jordan mentioned was not far from the Liberty Building. In a small alley without street lights, there was a black car parked. Lu Ming came by taxi and got out of the car some distance away. Slowly

I found this place while walking slowly.

The taillights came on and the car door was pushed open.

Lu Ming walked over, and there was only one person in the car, Jordan, sitting in the driver's seat.

When Lu Ming got in the car, his attention was drawn to the back row. In the back half of the car, the seats were gone, but instead there were various black iron boxes, small radar-like things, etc.

"Car phone?" Lu Ming smiled.

Jordan shook his head, looking a little helpless, "Commissioner, don't mind if you are sneaky like this."

He glanced at Lu Ming and said, "Four people from the Beiguan Boundary Commission were killed and one was seriously injured. Did you know?"

Lu Ming nodded: "I know." After a pause, "Oh, I'll leave it to the operations office. After all, it's a big case."

Jordan is now the director of the office, and he was already expected. This young prosecutor is capable, and most importantly, he has roots behind him.

Jordan sighed knowingly: "You must be the first to know about such a major event in Beiguan."

After thinking for a while, "Commissioner, please tell me the truth. Your Free Power Club has a membership badge. Is it difficult to copy it?"

Lu Ming shook his head: "It is very easy to imitate ordinary members, and it is not difficult to imitate core members, but core member badges, imitations and genuine products can definitely be seen together."

Jordan took out a small transparent plastic bag. Inside, there was a badge with a flying eagle pattern, but it was covered with dirt.

"Look, is this a real thing or a fake?" It was delivered to Lu Ming, but obviously, it was not intended to be actually handed over to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming looked at the badge in the plastic bag and nodded: "It's the badge of the Freedom Force Left Wing Regiment, authentic."

After a pause, he continued: "The Freedom Force has two core members. The armed personnel are the left-wing group, which has 235 people. The badge is blue. The right-wing group is the backbone of the Freedom Force's external propaganda and development club members.

, plus the branches in Xinfa District and Mengdu Town, there are 132 people, and the badge is green."

Thinking about it, "the left-wing group has a fixed monthly salary, which is paid by club dues. Most of the right-wing groups need to pay membership dues, and some key members donate a lot of dues. Of course, the key members from poor families do not pay dues.

There are also.”

"Ordinary members of the club also have some who pay dues and some who don't, but most of them will undergo military training on a regular basis."

Jordan smiled bitterly: "Commissioner, you don't need to tell me such details. I know that the club is a legally registered society, but according to what you said, the club is very similar to the previous militia organizations, but those militia organizations fifty years ago

, were merged into the National Autonomous Army. The new similar armed organizations are in a gray area in terms of management. Although they can carry out collective activities in specific places, it is illegal if more than three people appear in public together with weapons.

However, because you have had several high-profile cases, you are also hated by some radical organizations. Therefore, after you refused official protection, you were allowed to have multiple civilian security personnel with firearms on various occasions.

In and out.”

Lu Ming nodded: "I understand. What I want to say is that legally, the Free Power Club is fully compliant with regulations."

He looked at the badge that Jordan took back and smiled: "Found at the crime scene?"

Jordan was startled, then nodded: "I can't hide anything from you. It can be counted as a crime scene or not."

"It was found in the alley by the back window of the murdered businessman. Prosecutor Han found it."

Lu Ming smiled: "Prosecutor Han? That would be Annie, she is very observant."

Jordan said helplessly: "Yes, she is temporarily suspended by me now."

"She was the first to discover the badge, but she secretly put it in her pocket. Someone discovered her little move and suspected that she had concealed something she had discovered, so a prosecutor told me."

"I have to say that she is really capable. Originally, this badge was dirty in the garbage. It was swept into the garbage by the aunt who lives there. It will be sent to the garbage station early tomorrow morning."

"No one paid any attention at first. You know, I just suspected that the prisoner escaped from that alley. It's normal to find nothing."

"But I didn't want to be discovered by Prosecutor Han."

Lu Ming smiled: "She is very smart, but I think even if she can't find it, someone will find it. Well, who is the person who reported Annie to you?"

Jordan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Prosecutor Liu Tao. You haven't seen him before. He came into the office after you left."

Lu Ming nodded, "This chess game is huge!"

Jordan was startled, "Commissioner, do you suspect that this case was not committed by members of the Freedom Force, but that someone wronged the Freedom Force? However, the shooting of four boundary commissioners has caused such a big fuss, and the case will definitely be investigated clearly.

, if it’s just to ban the Free Power Club, I’m afraid it will be self-defeating.”

Lu Ming looked at him: "Didn't you find anything related to me in the boundary committee members' room?"

"What?" Jordan was confused.

"For example, reporting my materials? For example, records of my Boundary Commission hearing?"

Jordan was even more stunned: "Have you been heard?"
