Rebirth 08: Equipment God

Chapter 19 The Great Battle

"Hello, is this the Changjing Road Police Station? I'd like to ask if there is a reward for reporting gambling, right?"

"Yes, do you have any clues?"

At an intersection outside the Damao community, in a telephone booth across the road.

Zhai Da has already called the police.

"I can't tell you the clues yet, but can you tell me the rules for the reward for reporting? How will the rewards be distributed? How will the safety of the reporter be ensured? Will taxes be deducted?"

The old policeman on the other end of the phone seemed to have heard that Zhai Da's voice was very young and that it was not an emergency. He began to preach: "Young comrade, reporting gambling is to maintain social order. You are still a student, right? You can't be so utilitarian."

"Oh, then I'll report it to another police station."

Zhai Da was about to hang up the phone, but the old policeman on the other end said quickly, "Wait a moment, I'll find some information. Don't hang up. I'll change the extension and tell you that this phone can't be occupied for long."

Then the phone started to beep, and about three minutes later it was connected again:
"According to the latest 'Interim Measures for Rewarding Personnel Who Report Gambling Illegal and Criminal Activities', if gambling funds seized are less than 100 yuan, a reward of 500- yuan will be given."

"If 1 to 10 yuan is seized, there will be a reward of 3% of the gambling funds."

"If 10 to 50 yuan is seized, there will be a reward of 5% of the gambling funds."

"For those who seize more than 50, a reward of 6% of the gambling funds will be given."

"The maximum reward for a single case is no more than 6 yuan."

In fact, Zhai Da had already checked on the Internet. The reason he asked again was that he hoped the police station would know that he was serious about reporting and rewarding, and would not fool him.

According to this rule, as long as the gambling money exceeds 2000 yuan, the funding gap of yuan will be solved.

“How to ensure the safety of whistleblowers?”

"You have to trust the police."

On the other end of the phone, the old policeman still didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, it was most likely that someone in a student's family was playing cards, and the young man probably had some sort of argument with his parents and wanted to kill his own family for the sake of justice.

Just send a local policeman to knock on the door. It’s not a big deal and they won’t really arrest anyone.

But I heard someone say on the other side: "I can trust the rules, but I don't necessarily trust the people who enforce them."

It’s not 202408, and this is a small county, so we must be on guard against others.

In fact, he also has a backup plan, such as preparing to leave a backup on the "S Director Hotline". Dongyang County belongs to the "Qian City", and according to the rules, every piece of news from that place must be "responded to and followed up."

The old policeman sighed and said:
"You can report anonymously. We will provide a unique 'reporter code', which is like a verification code. Afterwards, you can go to the police station with the reporter code and briefly describe the process to receive the reward. You don't need to be present in person or have an ID card."

Zhai Da nodded secretly, this is a good idea.

Just find someone to take it, someone like Wu Yue would be suitable.

"How long does it usually take to get the reward?"

"It depends on the complexity of the case. If the gambling funds are all in cash, it can be sorted out in one night and then go through the procedures. It will take about three days."

The phone call lasted for more than ten minutes. It was not until the end that Zhai Da told the other party the reporting clues and obtained his own "reporter code".

Zhai Da also reminded the other party that it was not clear whether the gambling game was big or not, but there were quite a lot of people involved, probably about twenty gamblers and security guards. Now was the opportunity to catch the criminals in the act, so they had to hurry.

I heard that it was of this scale, and it was obviously more attentive.

After hanging up the phone, Zhai Da walked out of the phone booth and came to the fitness facility on the street. Lu Wei was sitting on a piece of equipment that she couldn't name, waiting quietly.

Zhai Da sat down next to her: "The call is over. There is no regret medicine now."

There were no street lights here, so Lu Wei couldn't read. She held Zhai Da's Snickers in both hands and whispered, "No regrets."

Zhai Da: "It has no other impact on your life, right?"

After saying that, I felt like I asked a stupid question.

For a father like this, even if there is any impact after arresting him, it will be a good impact.

Sure enough, Lu Wei shook her head: "No, he seldom comes home."

The two of them hid in the dark, waiting for something to ferment.

Zhai Da has already called Yu Xiaoli and told a small lie, saying that he went to Wu Yue's house to play and have dinner. He is now in a state of relaxation in his studies, and Ms. Yu doesn't care too much about it.

In order to be less conspicuous at night, Zhai Da took off his blue and white school uniform and tied it around his waist. However, after wearing it for a whole day, the short-sleeved shirt underneath also smelled a bit of sweat.

The two fell into a brief silence, and Zhai Da suddenly felt that he had been avoiding deep conversations with Lu Wei. He had never asked her about her deeper thoughts on reporting her father, nor did he try to be a persuader or counselor.

This girl, who seemed to lack emotions, was dragged into a strange "activity" by herself.

Like a puppet being pushed around.

Seemingly feeling a little guilty, Zhai Da started a new topic: "Is the wound on your hand still not healed?"

Last time I noticed that Lu Wei had several Band-Aids on her hands, but today there seemed to be no change.

Lu Wei: "Okay, but there are new ones."

"Does it hurt? Is it the needle?" "Yeah, it hurts but I can bear it."

“Are you tired from working in the factory?”

"Tired but bearable."

Zhai Da sighed, are you a Ninja Turtle?
"Working requires not only skills but also techniques. You need to slack off when you can and step out when you can. Safety is the most important thing."

"You helped me so much this time, I will say a few good words for you to my mom later."

He always wanted to use the back door before, and this time he finally experienced the feeling of being someone else's back door.

Why doesn't the factory's back door count? It lets you do two fewer pieces of clothing a day, so easy!

For Lu Wei, he is "the second generation of an official who is limited to one person".

Suddenly, two people came out from the side door of the Damao community opposite. They were the ones who were guarding the place that day.

Zhai Da, who was already quite alert, immediately grabbed Lu Wei and stepped back, completely hiding in the darkness.

Lu Wei hummed lightly, but did not resist.

The two watchmen looked around, but their attention was mainly on the road and they did not notice the two people dozens of meters away.

The place chosen by Zhai Da was very good. To put it another way, it was completely dark and there was no surveillance.

After a while, two black cars stopped and several people got out.

The two security guards immediately came forward.

Most of the content was too far away to be seen clearly, but the plastic Japanese words "Let's go! Let's go!" and "Hey! Kouji Kouji!" were clear enough even across the street.

Zhai Da thought for a moment and thought, this small gambling den has a wide range of business? There are even foreigners?

The banker specially sent someone to welcome him, so he must be a big investor or a fat sheep.

Now it's time to have fun.

He doesn't care. As long as the police don't punish foreigners flexibly, that's fine.
In addition, Lu Wei’s father might be in prison for a long time.

Only after they all went in did Zhai Da relax a little.

The clean smell of laundry detergent on Lu Wei's body smells very good.

The two of them were very close at this time. In order not to reveal the limited shadow, Zhai Da could be said to be hugging Lu Wei completely.

This girl was really thin, as if she could be blown down by a gust of wind. He felt that he could wrap his arm around her waist.

To be honest, I don’t find it charming.

It just made Zhai Da feel that the choice to report Lu Wei’s father was the right one.

Lu Wei did not lower her head in shame, nor did she struggle, and her expression was even very calm.

It was just that feeling the slightly sweaty chest felt strange.

A mosquito flew past Lu Wei and landed on Zhai Da's chest, or rather, right in front of Lu Wei.

Lu Wei stared at it for a moment, but did not move her hands to drive it away or slap it to death.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, he headbutted him with his forehead.

"Hi~!"

Zhai Da looked at Lu Wei in shock, you are such a coward?
"what are you doing?"

"mosquito."

Zhai Da rubbed his chest and hit his ribs:
"You hit the mosquito with your head? Is it dead?"

"It didn't fly away..."

"Then I got hit for nothing? You can just blow on it and it will be over!"

The slightly weird atmosphere was completely dissipated by a blow.

After the two separated, no one mentioned the brief hug.

Ten minutes later, several more cars drove to the intersection.

Four sedans and an Iveco.

The person who got out of the car was obviously not an ordinary person. He looked around and began to organize the batons and handcuffs.

Not to mention the people on the Iveco, they were fully armed and some of them were holding shields.

Zhai Da smacked his lips
I feel like there's going to be quite a big crowd tonight.
　Please collect it and read it.

　　Is this for me? Thanks!
