Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 619: Thirty Years in Three Minutes
As the topic gradually deepened, the atmosphere in the teahouse became a little more interesting. Qin Fei was tense and ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

This is Qin Fei's professional quality. Of course, no matter how brave Zhong Liyun is, he would never attack the police inspector in his own territory, otherwise he would be wiped out that day.

As a "friend", Chen Yi asked about Zhong Liyun's early experiences, and Zhong Liyun asked if Chen Yi had any other business in coming to Dongli.

"I pick up trash, sleep under bridges, and occasionally steal food. I'm ashamed, ashamed." Zhong Liyun said.

The theft that happened decades ago is past the statute of limitations, and even if it isn't, if a homeless child steals things to survive, no matter how principled the police are, they won't make a big deal out of it and ruin their reputation if the news gets out.

"I'm very curious about how Mr. Zhong got his first pot of gold." Chen Yi said.

Zhong Liyun smiled and said, "At that time... Chen Xun was still in elementary school, right? And what I had to think about every day was how to survive. For people from the bottom to rise, it is not enough to rely on brains alone. With the help of a noble person, you can get twice the result with half the effort. I am very lucky to have met my noble person."

He mentioned a boss named Xiang Shi.

When video halls had not yet been eliminated, Zhong Liyun liked to go to video halls to pick up other people's leftover food and water, eat her fill first, and then take it back for Qiu Jie to eat.

When his memory went back to around the millennium, Qiu Jie almost couldn't hold back his tears.

What Zhong Liyun said was not entirely right. How could he possibly be full with the food left in the video hall? Later, Qiu Jie found out that Zhong Liyun had left most of the food for him, and he rarely had a full meal.

Later, the owner of the video hall felt sorry for Zhong Liyun and hired her as a projectionist, paying her three hundred yuan a month.

Three hundred yuan was a lot of money. The brother and sister finally had enough food and clothing and even bought new clothes.

Qiu Jie was deeply impressed.

The first piece of clothing that Zhong Liyun bought for her is still kept at home.

Chen Yi chatted: "The golden age of video parlors is almost over, right?"

Zhong Liyun: "That's right. With the development of the times, video parlors gradually lost their market share. The main reason was the popularity of VCDs and DVDs. Most families could buy their own discs to watch at home, so video parlors quickly closed down.

Although the video hall has closed down, there are still new products of the era, such as Internet cafes, game halls, and dance halls. Uncle Xiang opened an Internet cafe in response to the times, and I worked as a network administrator there.

Uncle Xiang's business developed very quickly. After he opened the first Internet cafe, he opened the second one. After he opened the fourth one, Uncle Xiang moved to KTV. I became the manager of all four stores. "

Chen Yi nodded slightly.

This is very reasonable. If you want to start from scratch, you must have a beginning. Since he had the help of noble people, Zhong Liyun’s rise can be understood.

In that era, anyone who owned four Internet cafes and a KTV was considered well-known, even if not a big shot. You couldn't suffer any harm by following Xiang Shi.

Zhong Liyun did not go into detail about the process, but it is likely that there must have been some conflict involved.

In the millennium when the campaign to crack down on gangs and eliminate evil had not yet swept across the country, places like Internet cafes, game halls, KTVs, and dance halls were certainly not peaceful.

As the manager of four Internet cafes, Zhong Liyun has to deal with more than just business matters.

"What happened next?" Chen Yi listened with great interest.

"Later..." Zhong Liyun glanced at Qiu Jie beside him, whose face turned a little cold. "Later, Ah Jie grew up and became more and more beautiful. Uncle Xiang fell in love with her."

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment and his eyes fell on Qiu Jie.

With her looks and figure, there should be no man who would not like her. She is more attractive to older men.

This is awkward.

After all, Xiang Shi was the nobleman who helped the brother and sister. If it weren't for Xiang Shi, the two might still be wandering. How to deal with it is a big problem.

Considering the relationship between the two, Zhong Liyun would never send Qiu Jie away just to keep his status and money.

The story is quite interesting, though a bit old-fashioned. However, if you think about it carefully, it is very consistent with reality and human nature.

"Uncle Xiang and I had a falling out." Zhong Liyun said, "He was very obsessed with Ajie, and I couldn't agree to that, so I resigned from the Internet cafe and went to a dance hall.

I was grateful to Uncle Xiang, so when conflicts arose in business later, I tried to avoid them and focus on peaceful negotiations. "

Business conflict?

Chen Yi automatically translated the business conflict into a personal conflict between bosses. At that time, unlike now, you could definitely see exciting fights on the streets late at night.

Regardless of whether the shop property is owned or rented, when fighting for territory, everyone likes to use fists to do the talking.

If you have a strong fist and are ruthless enough, your power will expand quickly. This is the case in the entertainment industry.

It’s much better now. Everyone is very restrained and competes for customers with their service attitude.

"Later, I founded Yunjie."

Zhong Liyun ended with a simple first sentence.

Thirty years of life were described in just three minutes. Chen Yi knew that he omitted some things, but it was still considered quite sincere.

He knew that the special case team came to Dongli most likely to target him, but he still showed goodwill. It is impossible to tell whether he was scheming or sincere, or both.

Chen Yi "returned the favor" and said that in addition to traveling, he also wanted to pay homage to the Emperor of Mountains and Seas. The word "Emperor" is not something that ordinary people can possess.

Zhong Liyun smiled and waved his hands: "That's all the instigation of people with ulterior motives. I don't know what their purpose is. Maybe they are trying to flatter me and put me on the spot.

I am just a businessman.”

After saying that, he paused for a moment and added, "At least for now."

The meaning of this sentence is very clear, it was not clean before.

Chen Yi was somewhat surprised. He didn't know whether he should be more wary of Zhong Liyun or have a new opinion.

The smarter and calmer a person is, the more difficult he is to deal with.

As they chatted, Chen Yi subtly brought the topic to charity, and this time it was Qiu Jie who spoke.

"Over the years, Yunjie Group has sponsored more than 1,600 orphans and poor children. More than 80% of them have successfully completed their studies, and some have chosen to work in Yunjie. Wei Dongchen, whom Chen Xun met, is one of them.

Few people know about this.”

"Oh?" Chen Yi was a little surprised. Wei Dongchen was already thirty-four years old.

Qiu Jie said: "When I met Wei Dongchen, he was 19 years old. His mother was bedridden and his father was disabled. It was Yun Jie, who had just started at that time, who sponsored him to successfully complete college and also guaranteed his parents' medical care and basic living expenses.

After graduation, he came to the company on his own and said that he was willing to work for Mr. Zhong for ten years for free, as long as he was provided with food and accommodation.

Seeing that he was determined, Director Zhong could not be driven away, so he stayed, but he continued to pay his salary. After a while, Director Zhong felt that this young man was good and was willing to let him do many things. "

The person she was referring to should be Wan Rui from the community hospital.

This kind of thing will definitely be handed over to someone you trust very much.

At this time, Zhong Liyun spoke up: "I came out of the darkness myself, and I know how hard it is to live. Now that I have the ability, I don't want to see those children still in the darkness. Every time I see them, I seem to see my former self."

To put things one way or another, Chen Yi expressed his respect and at the same time asked the other party why he did not do charity publicly, which would also be beneficial to the company.

"Do you need to leave your name behind when you do good deeds?" The person who asked this question was not Zhong Liyun, but Qiu Jie. This woman was not someone who could hide her emotions, or she was unwilling to hide them in front of Chen Yi.

Zhong Liyun warned Qiu Jie for the second time, and then said: "Reputation is not important to me at all."

Hearing this, Qin Fei couldn't help but ask: "Then why do you want to accept the honor of being a drug control pioneer?"

It was too late for Chen Yi to stop it.

Now it feels like the special case team is the villain.

Qiu Jie was about to speak, and her expression seemed to indicate that she was about to curse, but Zhong Liyun's two warnings made her hold back, and she just glared at Qin Fei with her beautiful eyes.

Zhong Liyun smiled and said, "This police officer is different. Drug prohibition needs to be public. Let everyone know that I, Zhong Liyun, am the mortal enemy of drugs. I will report anyone I see without mercy. Anyone who wants to come to me can come, and I am welcome at any time.

You know what, it really worked. The anti-drug team arrested several people who wanted to take revenge on me, and they seized a lot of drugs and arrested several drug dealers, saving countless families.”

The answer that involved himself made Qin Fei feel like a clown. He lowered his head slightly and stopped interrupting.

If what was just talked about was true, then only Chen Yi is qualified to have a conversation with a person like Zhong Liyun.

"Mr. Zhong can be called a role model," said Chen Yi.

Zhong Liyun: "I don't deserve it. Compared with Chen Xun, what I, Zhong Liyun, have done seems insignificant. To be honest, I have known Chen Xun for a long time... Of course Chen Xun doesn't know me, but it's a pity that I have never had the chance to meet him. Today, my wish has been fulfilled. I once again welcome Chen Xun to Dongli and Shanhai.

If you need anything, just let me know.”

After the tea got cold, Chen Yi left Yunjie Group.

tea room.

"What a pity! I really want to be friends with him." Zhong Liyun said to Qiu Jie.

Qiu Jie snorted coldly: "He is here to check on you, not to make friends with you."

Zhong Liyun was helpless: "It's not a conflict."

Outside the gate of Yunjie Group.

"What a pity! I really want to make friends with him." Chen Yi said to Qin Fei.

Qin Fei asked: "Captain Chen thinks Zhong Liyun is ok?"

Chen Yi shook his head: "No, on the contrary, this person has a lot of problems, but I don't know what he did in his early years, or what he is doing now. He has two sides. We have seen the white side, but what does the black side look like?"

Qin Fei: "Gray?"

Chen Yi: "Yes, it can't be said to be pure white, nor can it be said to be pure black. The Zhong Liyun I saw exuded a kind of delicate gray all over his body, just like..."

He looked at the busy road and said, "It's just like this world."

Qin Fei hesitated: "Why not ask Dicheng?"

Chen Yi said: "I'm afraid the Ministry of He doesn't know either. If he knew, why would he have waited until now?

After meeting Zhong Liyun, I understood what Minister He meant. This chairman who rose from the bottom must have taken an unconventional approach back then. The so-called profitable business... is all written in the Criminal Law.

I just don't know whether he wants me to see the current Zhong Liyun or the previous Zhong Liyun. "

The question was a bit difficult and Qin Fei was unable to comment. After arriving in Dongli and meeting Zhong Liyun, he felt as if he was back in the police station and realized that there are always people better than you.

He still has a lot to learn, including his character and vision.

"Wu Ruiyang..." Chen Yi took out a cigarette and lit it. He silently repeated the name and quickly made a decision. "Wait a little longer. Don't be in a hurry. Let's experience the prosperity of Dongli first."

……

At night, the light and shadow painting of Dongli slowly unfolds, making the city seem to have put on dazzling new clothes and be brightly lit.

After enjoying an expensive buffet, the special case team walked along the riverside. The landmark buildings in the distance illuminated the night sky, and the light danced on the surface of the river.

In the sparkling waves, a colorful cruise ship slowly passed by, leaving behind a series of crisscrossing tracks.

"It's a coastal city after all. Is it possible that Zhong Liyun is involved in smuggling?"

The one who speaks is when is new.

After Chen Yi believed that there was something wrong with Zhong Liyun, the special case team began to regard him as a potential criminal suspect.

Cheng Hanjun said: "From the nature of Yunjie Group, it is possible. Many of its products are shipped overseas, so there must be special freight channels.

"The Emperor of Mountains and Seas, it is not difficult for someone who can be called the Emperor of Mountains and Seas to do this."

Several people agreed, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt it was very likely. Chen Yi just looked at the ship on the river gradually going away without expressing any opinion.

There is no use in making blind guesses without any clues.

Even if we have to guess, we have to guess based on the existing clues. The current Zhong Liyun is still a pioneer in drug prevention and a kind-hearted person who has sponsored thousands of children.

"If you can do something to support orphans, you shouldn't hurt innocent people."

……

"Everything he did was not done casually. The psychological traces were obvious. This is a direction for investigation."

……

"In the case of smuggling, the only loss is to the country, the seller makes money and the buyer saves money, there is no loss of interest or life, it is still possible."

Chen Yi did not completely ignore the conversation between the few people, his thoughts were moving.

"Adult products are indeed a good cover... could it be smuggling?"

……

"If he really did go ashore, do I need to check what happened in his early years?"

……

"We cannot ignore his ruthlessness. He may have an extreme dual personality. He stood out as a street child in that era. I don't believe that he didn't have blood on his hands."

……

"It's okay if it's bloodstained, but it's serious if it's human lifestained."

It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when they finished enjoying the night view of Dongli. The six members of the special case team did not return to the hotel, but drove to an Internet cafe in Shanhai District.

Looking out the window from inside the car, the prosperity gradually faded away and more old houses began to appear.

There are also relatively underdeveloped areas in Dongli, especially the old industrial areas, which have a single industrial structure, leading to slow economic development and unable to catch up with the internationalization of the prosperous areas.

The Internet cafe we ​​are going to is at the border of mountains and sea and another old industrial area.

Xiang Shi’s information has been retrieved. His early glory is gone, and now he only owns an Internet cafe.

The vehicle stopped and six people got off. The Internet cafe was very old, with half of the neon lights broken. It seemed like it would close down at any time and be replaced by a new store.

In the distant alley, there was a faint pink light flashing, and illegal transactions were being done secretly.

Every city has an upper and a lower class.

Chen Yi took a look and then looked away. He had no interest in cracking down on pornography.

As I entered the Internet cafe, the damp and moldy smell hit me in the face. I could see a few young people wearing headphones and surfing the Internet, but they were all men and there were no women.

There is a bar just inside the door, but there is no cashier.

The six people waited for a while, and the man with a staggering gait left the bathroom and returned. It was obvious that his right leg was very unnatural and he could not use the strength. He was a cripple.

Judging from his appearance, one can vaguely tell that it is Xiang Shi.

Times have changed. Those who were once powerful figures in their former years can only survive by working in a shabby Internet cafe.

"How many tables do you want to open?" Xiang Shi walked into the bar and asked casually.

Chen Yi: "Did you have this leg naturally or did you get injured later?"

Xiang Shi raised his head at this, and frowned on his unshaven face: "Does it have anything to do with you?"

"Maybe." Chen Yi raised his hand and waved lightly, and Qin Fei immediately took out his ID.

Upon learning of the police's identity, Xiang Shi did not react much: "Comrade police officer, what's the matter? From the accent you speak, you are from another place?"

Chen Yi nodded: "We are from another place, can we chat?"

Xiang Shi: "Let's chat. Oh, you're asking about my legs, right? I got beaten up by someone many years ago."

Chen Yi smiled faintly: "Could it be that Zhong Liyun beat you? Were you so bold back then?"

The statute of limitations for intentional injury resulting in serious bodily harm is ten years, provided that no case has been filed.

Hearing Zhong Liyun's name, Xiang Shi's face changed slightly, and he re-examined Chen Yi, Qin Fei and the other four: "Where are you police from? What case are you investigating?"
