From Qinghe City to Binhai County, nearly a hundred miles away, there is only one gravel road, called the Provincial Highway. In fact, it only has two lanes in both directions. It is full of potholes and twists and turns. Even the most luxurious cars can only climb up here. Move forward.

Binhai County is surrounded by the sea on three sides, shaped like a peninsula, like a hammer, with a long hammer handle extending toward the sea, and the entire hammer head immersed in the depths of the sea in a north-south direction.

Binhai County, which has inconvenient transportation, has a population of more than 1.2 million and is the most populous county in Qinghe City and even the entire province.

Binhai County is poor, with seven mountains, two covered and one divided farmland. The mountains are hard to eat, but nine of the ten mountains are deserted. The sea is hard to eat. Ninety percent of the coastline is mud tidal flats. People who step on them feel like they are trapped in a swamp. I can't even get my life back.

Xiang Tianliang drove Liu Qingqing's car. After the last overhaul, the red exterior had turned into black, but it was still smooth to drive.

The sun gets dark quickly in winter, and it starts to get dark as soon as we enter Binhai County.

Big Brother made a loud noise.

The call was from Xiao Jiannan, director of the Qinghe District Public Security Bureau.

"Old Xiao, what are you doing...Isn't it New Year's Day? I'm on my way back to Binhai."

Xiao Jiannan cursed on the other end of the phone: "You bastard, you are really nothing."

"You dare to scold me, Lao Xiao, did you take the wrong medicine?"

"Haha... I'm scolding you? I'm going to beat you up. You've been promoted to assistant to the Binhai County magistrate. You don't say hello or invite you to drink. What do you mean? You want to get away with nothing? I tell you, there's no way."

Xiang Tianliang was happy, "You're pretty well-informed, haha... After all the changes, he's still a regular-level student, and he's been assigned from the city to the town. Damn it, is this a high promotion?"

Xiao Jiannan smiled and said: "You kid, you got an advantage and still acted like a good boy. The assistant to the county magistrate, the assistant to the county magistrate, you sound so nice when you call me."

Xiang Tianliang touched the pistol in his waist and said, "Old Xiao, I forgot to return the gun to you. Next time, next time I come to Binhai, I will give it back to you."

Xiao Jiannan said: "At dawn, I called you just to talk about the gun."

"What's wrong? Do you want to take it back now?"

"Just the opposite."

Xiang Tianliang was startled, "What do you mean?"

"Tianliang, Binhai is your hometown, you don't know anything about Binhai's situation?"

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said: "Let me tell you, for revolutionary work, I only go home two or three times a year. How do I know the situation in Binhai?"

Xiao Jiannan said: "In Qinghe City now, there are no large-scale smuggling activities, especially armed smuggling, which has basically disappeared, but there are still a lot of small-scale smuggling, and most of them are from your Binhai area." People did it.”

"Old Xiao, don't slander our Binhai people."

Xiao Jiannan continued: "You Binhai people like to make small fuss, and you don't dare to engage in automobiles, oil, etc., but now the smuggled cigarettes come from your Binhai. Don't underestimate this cigarette smuggling, it is also very rampant. ."

Xiang Tianliang said, "What's the problem?"

"As the old saying goes, you have to be strong to make iron. There is a big problem within the Binhai County Public Security Bureau."

Xiang Tianliang said: "Lao Xiao, Shao Sanhe is the executive deputy director of the Binhai County Public Security Bureau. How is he?"

"There are many factions in the Binhai Public Security Bureau, and Shao Sanhe has no foundation. Now he is in a mess and it is difficult to carry out his work."

Xiang Tianliang asked: "What's the matter? You mean, let me help Shao Sanhe?"

Xiao Jiannan smiled and said: "Director Guo has this intention, so if you keep that gun, it may come in handy."

Xiang Tianliang was happy, "Hey, I'm the assistant to the county magistrate. Why do I bring a gun?"

"Haha, assistant to the county magistrate with a gun, you are such a bastard."

"Bah, you're laughing at me...hey..." Xiang Tianliang looked ahead and shouted, "Old Xiao, there is a situation ahead, I won't talk nonsense to you."

Ahead of the highway, the sound of sirens pierced the tranquility of the night.

A truck came quickly, followed by two police cars in hot pursuit.

He threw Big Brother away towards Tianliang, eased off the accelerator, braked the car, and turned the steering wheel hard.

The Santana sedan lay across the middle of the road.

Xiang Tianliang got out of the car, took out his pistol and fired two shots into the air without looking ahead.

The truck stopped less than ten meters away from Xiangdang.

Then, five or six people jumped out of the truck and quickly fled to the hillside beside the road, disappearing into the night.

Xiang Tianliang was very surprised. After the two police cars stopped, he saw the people in the trucks running away, but no police officers got out.

What is incredible is that the two police cars turned around and left quickly.

Xiang Tianliang couldn't believe his eyes.

What's going on? The police are afraid of shooting?

Xiang Tianliang walked to the truck, put one hand on the fender of the compartment, and jumped into the car with a whoosh.

When you lift the tarp, you don't need to look carefully. You can tell by touching it with your hand that it's a car full of boxes.

It was a box containing cigarettes, and the car was full of smuggled cigarettes.

Xiang Tianliang jumped out of the car and made a visual inspection. The six-ton ​​truck contained at least 100 boxes, all of which were "Marlboro" brand cigarettes. Calculated by market price, they were worth at least 200,000 yuan.

Haha, what a blessing. Before I took office, I just set foot on the coastal land and harvested a big fish. I gave this meeting gift to my good brother Shao Sanhe. It's big enough.

Xiang Tianliang returned to his car, picked up his mobile phone, and quickly called Shao Sanhe, the executive deputy director of the County Public Security Bureau.

"Brother Mikawa, happy New Year's Day."

"Brother Tianliang, is that you?"

"Haha, isn't this nonsense?"

"Tianliang, you are welcome to work in Binhai."

Xiang Tianliang smiled, "You are well-informed."

Shao Sanhe asked: "When will you take office?"

"you guess."

"You have always acted mysteriously, can I guess it?"

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "I'm already in Binhai County."

"You, stop joking with me."

"Really, I am already in Binhai County, about two kilometers away from the junction of Binhai County and Nanhe County."

"Did you drive here?"

"yes."

"Alone?"

"Haha, I don't have a wife, so of course I am alone."

Shao Sanhe smiled and said: "It's dawn. Anyway, I'm on duty tonight. You walk slowly and I'll drive to pick you up."

"You really have to come pick me up, otherwise I won't be able to leave."

"What's the matter? Is there any trouble on the road?"

Xiang Tianliang said: "I encountered a cigarette smuggling truck on the road, so I stopped it for you. If you didn't send someone, I would really be reluctant to leave. The cigarettes are worth at least 200,000 yuan."

"What? Dawn, please explain it clearly."

Xiang Tianliang said again: "Brother Sanhe, I really want to ask you, what are your men doing?"

Then, Xiang Tianliang told what happened just now.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiang Tianliang finished speaking, Shao Sanhe on the other end of the phone called.

"Ah... no, please leave as soon as dawn comes."

"What's going on?"

"Leave quickly, leave quickly." Shao Sanhe shouted anxiously.

"Brother Mikawa, can you please explain clearly why I want to leave? Haha, don't worry, I won't take your credit."

"Ah, listen to me...you should leave the scene first and then talk..."

Shao Sanhe hung up the phone.

Xiang Tianliang grinned happily. When did Shao Sanhe become so narrow-minded? Isn't it just a small contribution?

At this moment, Xiang Tianliang's right ear suddenly started beating.

The right ear is twitching, which is dangerous.

Xiang Tianliang was stunned.

Looking around, there are hills on the left and dirt slopes on the right. There are no cars in front or behind, it is dark and silent.

Where does the danger come from?

Xiang Tianliang thought to himself that the dog's right ear was not going home, and he was just kidding himself.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound in the silent and dark night sky.

The sounds came from far to near, from low to high, from sparse to dense, and quickly came from all around.
