Chapter 20: The Transaction with Ma Jun [Seeking Follow-up Reading Recommendation]
When Ma Jun heard Di Qing's self-introduction, he was stunned and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Then he frowned slightly, looked at Di Qing deeply, and said, "Why should I believe what you say?"
Di Qing shook his head and said, "My direct supervisor is Gao Zongyang, the senior inspector of the second team of the O-Ji B2 Group. If you don't believe me, you can ask your supervisor to investigate personally. However, I don't recommend you to do this, because I have taken a certain risk by revealing my undercover identity in front of you today. I don't want others to know, let alone my supervisor."
Ma Jun frowned and said, "If that's the case, why are you still telling me this?"
"Because I want you to help me once." Di Qing looked at him seriously.
"Why should I help you?" Ma Jun was unmoved.
Di Qing said, "It's true what I told you on the phone that I have clues about the Temple Street case. I know who did it, and I can help you catch him."
Ma Jun narrowed his eyes and said, "How do I know if what you said is true?"
Di Qing shook his head: "At present, I can only tell you that this case is related to Zhongqing Society. If you don't do it, I will find someone else."
When he heard the words "Zhongqing Society", Ma Jun was already 70% convinced.
After a moment of silence, Ma Jun asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Di Qing said, "I am currently working undercover in Hongxing, investigating evidence of Hongxing fans. I will probably return to the police force after this case is over. I would like you to transfer me to the serious crime unit."
Ma Jun frowned when he heard this and said, "This is not a easy thing to do. Besides, you are doing well in O-Ji, why do you want to be transferred?"
Di Qing nodded: "I know it's difficult, but if you can't do it, your boss Lu Qichang should be able to do it."
"As for why I wanted to transfer, that's a long story..."
Di Qing sighed and said helplessly: "My boss is a heartless guy. He will do anything to get promoted. In the five years since I joined the police force, I have done a lot for him, but he took all the credit. In the end, he even arranged for me to be an undercover agent. He doesn't care about my life at all."
"Even if this matter is done and I return to the police force, I will probably still be a freeloader for the rest of my life. And if I don't do this well, I suspect he will even delete my file and leave me to fend for myself."
"I'm not willing to accept this, so I want to find a new backer."
"This is also the main reason why I came to you instead of my boss when I got the clue about the Temple Street case."
After hearing this, Ma Jun frowned even more. He could naturally understand what Di Qing said.
This situation is even common throughout the police force.
Many bosses don't care about the life or death of undercover agents in order to get promoted.
He himself has an undercover agent, so he naturally understands how dangerous this undercover mission is.
So after listening to Di Qing's experience, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Di Qing.
After a moment of silence, Ma Jun looked at Di Qing again, nodded solemnly, and said, "If everything you said is true, then I can promise you that when you return to the police force, I will ask my superiors to transfer you to the serious crime team."
Di Qing felt relieved immediately, it worked!
Without thinking too much, Di Qing nodded and said, "The person who blew up Temple Street was a guy named Li Ming from Zhongqing Society. He had a grudge against a guy named Tang Shier who was hanging out in Temple Street. He was imprisoned three years ago. After he was released from prison, he wanted to take revenge and wanted to invade Zhongqing Society's territory into Temple Street, so he used a bomb directly."
"He should be hiding now, but I have a way to find him. Wait for my call tonight and I will notify you to arrest him."
Ma Jun felt it was unbelievable after hearing this. Who would blow up half a street just for revenge and to fight for territory?
Is he crazy?
But thinking of what Di Qing had just said, he still didn't ask any more questions, and nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and wait for your call."
After saying that, Ma Jun stood up, went downstairs and left very decisively.
Only until this moment did Di Qing finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Tonight he went to Ma Jun, risking his identity being exposed and being hacked to death by Hongxing's men, just to bet on the character of Ma Jun and his boss Lu Qichang.
Fortunately, he made the right bet.
Let’s not talk about Lu Qichang for now. People like Ma Jun, although a little paranoid, are really different from a bastard like Gao Zongyang.
The word justice really exists in his heart.
As for the purpose of negotiating this deal with Ma Jun, it was because Di Qing wanted to keep his identity as a policeman.
Just as Feilong said, in this era, you can't stay in the underworld forever, and in the end the only way out is to clean yourself up.
But he already had a white identity at the moment, so why did he need to wash it?
It's enough to just keep it! But if you want to keep this identity, there are still two hidden dangers.
One is Han Chen, and the other is his current boss Gao Zongyang.
There is still time to slowly resolve Han Chen’s issue.
But on Gao Zongyang's side, Di Qing couldn't wait even a moment longer.
Because Di Qing was really worried that Gao Zongyang would cross the river and destroy his bridge, and delete his file directly after the mission was completed.
Based on Di Qing's understanding of Gao Zongyang, he had no doubt that this bastard was capable of doing such a thing.
Even if he goes to seek justice, who will stand up for him, a young police officer who used to be an undercover agent?
To take a step back, even if he completed his mission and successfully returned to the police force, he would still be working under Gao Zongyang. How could Di Qing, who had been oppressed for five years, tolerate this situation?
In short, he must find a way to kill this bastard.
In order to completely clear himself of suspicion and leave no hidden dangers, he can no longer have any relationship with this guy. Transferring is the best option.
The serious crime team was the first one Di Qing considered.
First of all, the powers of the serious crime squad are relatively broad. As long as it is within the jurisdiction, no matter which community or area, as long as there is a major case, they will be responsible for it.
In other words, when he is in the serious crime squad, he can still crack down on gangs. After all, there is no gangster who does not commit crimes.
Secondly, promotions are relatively fast in the serious crime squad. As long as you follow the right boss and solve the case, you will get credit, and with credit you will have the opportunity to be promoted early without having to slowly accumulate experience.
In this day and age, there are still many major and serious cases.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Di Qing approached Ma Jun and gave away the credit for solving the Temple Street bombing case. Otherwise, even if he reported it, with that bastard Gao Zongyang around, he would not get the credit in the end.
At this moment, the first step has been taken successfully. The next step is to find a foothold, and this matter will be half successful.
Di Qing took a deep breath, then stood up and went downstairs.
"Brother Qing, how did the talk go?"
Qiu Di and Zhang Meirun, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried over to greet them.
"It's settled, there are no surprises."
Di Qing didn't say much. His cooperation with Ma Jun was public knowledge, but it was better not to let too many people know that he was an undercover agent.
Di Qing looked at Zhang Meirun and asked, "How are the preparations going, Thirteenth Sister?"
Zhang Meirun said quickly: "She just called me and said she had brought people over."
"very good!"
Di Qing nodded and said solemnly: "This matter cannot afford to fail. I will go over and take a look. If the plan fails, I will implement the second plan. You guys go back first. I may be back late tonight, so don't wait for me."
The two women nodded worriedly.
"I see."
"Brother Qing, you have to be careful."
Di Qing nodded, said no more, turned around and walked outside.
When passing by the bar, Di Qing glanced at the weathered Jiuwenlong. He wanted to say something, but he stopped himself and decided to focus on solving the problem at hand first.
Looking at Di Qing's departing back, the fat boss's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he whispered: "Along, this kid is not simple, he must be a gangster, right?"
Jiu Wenlong shook his head and said calmly: "It's none of our business, Brother Kang. We have already retired from the underworld. Just do your own thing well."
"That's true." Akang nodded.
clang-
Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and a group of people with colorful hair walked in.
"Hey, Fatty, it's very dirty outside. I need to collect sanitation fees!" said the yellow-haired leader arrogantly.
Ah Kang quickly stepped forward and apologized: "Sorry, sorry, we can clean it ourselves."
"Fuck you, you're collecting protection money!" The yellow-haired man pushed him away.
Hearing this, Akang and Jiuwenlong looked at each other and frowned slightly.
