My girlfriend is from 1949

Tian Guorong nodded slightly, but did not respond to the bald man's reprimand.

However, his silence implies his support.

A hoodlum who collects protection money in a shantytown is really low-class.

Even before he joined the police station in the foreign concession, he was also involved in gangs and had great contempt for such people.

Being called "brother" makes me feel uncomfortable.

If it weren't for needing to provide clues, they wouldn't even have the right to come up to me.

Just like the degree of [something] in "In the Name of the People," its presence has always been limited.

That's because everyone else inside is a big shot!

However, in the general social context, a deputy division chief or the director of a branch office is a high-level position that many people will never come into contact with in their entire lives!

So don't underestimate Tian Guorong just because he's only a section chief; this is Shanghai, and he's in the social affairs department.

If this were before the liberation, his position and power would have made him a VIP guest of underworld bosses and wealthy people.

Moreover, Tian Guorong has regained his identity and is now a police officer.

Naturally, they disliked those who mingled in the underworld; otherwise, they wouldn't have advised the bald man to change his ways and walk the straight path.

Shanghai has only been liberated for a few months, enemy agents have not yet been eliminated, and society needs stability.

The new government maintained the status quo and did not take action against these gangs.

However, once the situation stabilizes, these gangs will definitely be banned.

And those brothels were also places where filth and evil were kept, and many enemy agents and gang members liked to hide in them.

After a while, they will be cleaned up one by one.

Just like when Beiping was liberated, let all those prostitutes learn a skill so they can earn a living through their own labor.

Although it doesn't earn as much as when I was a prostitute or a dancer, it's clean!

In two months, these gang members will get a taste of iron fist.

Those shantytowns are also expected to be completely demolished next year, allowing people to live in better houses.

Tian Guorong narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "How did you discover and confirm that it was the target?"

This is a very important question; we need to know the details before we can make any further arrangements.

Otherwise, if they mistake someone for someone else, wouldn't that be disturbing the peace?

Moreover, understanding the process makes it easier to apprehend the suspects.

Scarface Third hurriedly reported: "Reporting to Section Chief Tian, ​​this is what happened."

I received a message from Baldy Brother this morning, and I know that he is the person you are looking for.

So we immediately gathered our brothers and did everything we could to assist the government in handling the case!

I'm not bragging, but there's no one in the Caojiadu shantytown that I don't recognize!

However, hearing the bald brother's description, it really was a coincidence.

I actually know the person you're looking for!

In the morning, I happened to go to his house to collect the water bill.

He then said his money had been stolen and asked me to make an exception for two days.

I'm kind-hearted, and seeing how pitiful he was, I agreed to give him three more days.

This person's physical characteristics are exactly the same as those described by the bald brother.

You absolutely can't find another one like it in the entire Caojiadu shantytown!

Scarface Lao San spoke with conviction, a smug look on his face.

They had no idea how difficult life was for these refugees who had fled here and could only do the hardest jobs in factories.

They are exploited by capitalists at work, and even their wages are deducted for various reasons.

Returning to this filthy and chaotic shantytown, they were still extorted by gang members.

Life is really tough.

The shantytowns of that time and the shantytowns of today are two different concepts.

The current shantytowns are actually old houses from decades ago, some old bungalows.

Many of the so-called shantytowns are actually apartment buildings constructed twenty years ago.

Water, electricity, and gas are all connected, and the house also has a bathroom, making it no different from a commercial apartment.

With air conditioning installed, it can keep you warm in winter and cool in summer.

Apart from being a bit older and not having an elevator, there's nothing different about it.

However, the shantytowns of Shanghai during the Republic of China era were not places for people to live.

In this area, owning even a dilapidated shack was considered "wealthy".

In a place called "Rolling Dragon," refugees, having no houses, used reed mats bent into a semi-circle and turned upside down.

The design resembles a canopy on a small boat, only moved to land.

Hanging tattered cloths on both sides to shield from the wind and rain makes a small house.

In such an environment, not only is hygiene out of the question, but even getting a sip of clean water becomes a luxury.

The area has more than 10,000 residents, but there are only two public water taps, which are controlled by a water tycoon, and the water bills are exorbitantly high.

Scarface San controlled the water source in Caojiadu and sold the water at high prices for profit.

When it comes to harsh environments, Yaoshui Lane on the banks of the Suzhou River is the most shocking.

The area was formerly a sulfuric acid plant owned by foreigners. The surrounding area was filled with tall and short chimneys spewing ash and mist, and the strong chemical smell was choking and suffocating. Turbid wastewater flowed everywhere.

Such a harsh environment also led to the spread of disease.

Therefore, the municipal government decided to address the issue of shantytowns.

However, problems must be solved step by step; there is no such thing as getting fat overnight. Instead, a very pragmatic roadmap was developed.

First, solve the problems of drinking water, electricity, toilet repair, and roads, and then improve other living conditions.

The preliminary work for this plan is currently being arranged and prepared.

Construction will officially begin in January next year!

Then we'll need to build roads, lay water pipes, and install electric lights to bring light to the gloomy slums.

Several months later, the large generator set transported from the future world was installed.

This is enough to solve the electricity problem for the entire city of Shanghai!

In other words, this period was the gang members' last gasp.

Scarface San was completely unaware of this and was still happy to have met and curry favor with a section chief in the Public Security Bureau.

Tian Guorong narrowed his eyes, quickly weighing the options in his mind.

He began by asking, "Do you know exactly where they live?"

Scarface raised an eyebrow and chuckled smugly, "Of course I know. I could walk around here with my eyes closed!"

Tian Guorong nodded slightly and instructed, "Go over there now. When you pass by his house, shake your clothes with your hand to fan yourself. Use the hand that is whichever side he lives on."

Remember, even when you get to his doorstep, don't stop; just walk past naturally.

Do you understand?

The shantytowns are crisscrossed, like a maze.

If you don't know the area, you might get lost.

"clear!"

Scarface responded and excitedly turned to walk towards the shantytown.

Tian Guorong immediately strode into the command vehicle behind and closed the two iron doors.

He asked, "Are you ready?"

Chen Huai'an raised an eyebrow and smiled confidently, "Don't worry, everything is ready."

Then he picked up the remote control and operated the drone that was already placed on the roof of the car to follow.

The drone maintained an altitude of 300 meters, which was sufficient to monitor the situation below.

Scarface Lao San was seen wandering around the shantytown, occasionally stepping into muddy water mixed with excrement.

When they arrived at a dilapidated thatched hut, he raised his left hand and scratched his head.

Without stopping, they continued walking forward.

Tian Guorong said in a deep voice, "Location confirmed!"
