Zhou Mei called that friend.
That friend said it very easily. The amount of the fine generally does not count. Talk to the leader and explain your actual situation. It is not easy for young people to start a business. When the time comes, let them lower the amount of the fine, as long as it is acceptable.
But when Zhou Mei told him that the fine was 1.3 million, and their small store couldn't afford even 100,000, there was silence.
This is the general rule for fines.
The amount can be reduced, but there is a certain range of reduction. A reduction to half would be good, but a reduction to one-tenth would be a bit too idealistic.
After calling Zhou Mei, it was not as easy as it was at first.
"How about I ask Captain Zhang to call their director?"
Miao Ruolan's despairing mood once again sparked hope.
However, Zhou Mei stopped when he took out his mobile phone. "It still doesn't work. Captain Zhang Even if you make this call, the other party will only be reduced to 20 to 30% at most. You still can't afford it. This time it is really a bit troublesome..."
"Xiao Su said that the legal provisions... Sister Zhou, what exactly are the legal provisions?"
"I mainly study criminal law. I have never studied market law. If they are dedicated to enforcing the law, they must have laws to follow. It is impossible to find loopholes in the law." Zhou Mei said.
This is also a general rule.
How can law enforcement officers know and break the law when they come out to enforce the law?
Therefore, when ordinary people face this situation, they think about how to mitigate it and try their best to reduce the losses within the scope allowed by the law, instead of thinking about solving the problem from the fundamental level of the law.
Because that's their specialty.
"But..." Miao Ruolan said, "He said that this was a deadly move by criminals with the purpose of driving the detective agency out of Phoenix City! If this is true, then they may know the law and break it."
Zhou Mei was shocked. "In order to drive you out Phoenix City... where is he? Let him come over and let's study it!"
Miao Ruolan picked up the phone and called Lin Xiaosu.
It rang for a long time and no one answered.
Zhou Mei also called on his own phone, but no one answered.
"What's going on?" Zhou Mei frowned.
Miao Ruolan said, "When he went out, he said he was going to take care of Captain Zhou! He said it in front of Captain Zhou..."
"Holy shit!" Zhou Mei exclaimed, "We have just analyzed that knowing the law and breaking the law, he must not do this with me at this juncture..."
Miao Ruolan is also nervous.
She knows Lin Xiaosu's methods.
He fixed Ancient Martial Arts!
A stone from him can kill someone.
This is the most reassuring skill on a battlefield full of dangers, but in peaceful times, on the track of the rule of law, when he is furious, it is the most unsettling element.
Don't do anything stupid...
However, at this moment, the arrow has left the string and the kite has broken its string.
Lin Xiaosu left the detective agency and merged into an unknown corner of Phoenix City with a population of 200,000. If you don't answer the phone, you can't negotiate with him at all.
All I can do is send a message.
The information was delivered, but whether he read it or not is unknown!
Lin Xiaosu rode an electric bike and walked for four blocks, occasionally stopping to take a look, his eyes empty and detached...
A smile slowly appeared on his face.
Around ten o'clock, he rode an electric bike to a real estate development in Ximen.
A courier man's motorcycle entered the community in front of him, and he followed suit.
The courier boy entered Unit 12.
He entered Unit 10.
Get on the elevator, go straight to the seventh floor (701), and ring the doorbell.
The door opened, and a graceful woman in her 40s opened the door. She looked at Lin Xiaosu outside and was slightly startled. "Who are you looking for?"
"Look for Deputy Director Liu."
"He is at work and has not come back yet."
"It's okay, I'll wait for him!" Lin Xiaosu raised his hand slightly, grabbed the door, and pushed it in.
The woman's face changed. "What's wrong with you? I didn't let you in!"
"Does it matter whether you give in or not?" Lin Xiaosu walked to the coffee table and sat down in a dignified manner. "Where I want to go, no one can stop me!"
"Get up! Otherwise I'll call the police!" The woman pointed at Lin Xiaosu who was sitting on the sofa, and her voice suddenly became louder.
"The phone is over there!" Lin Xiaosu pointed to the partition next to the video wall in front.
This partition is made of ebony and looks extremely high-end.
Her mobile phone was placed on the inside. It was actually very inconspicuous, but Lin Xiaosu pointed at it.
The woman grabbed the phone, but also hesitated...
Lin Xiaosu looked around. "Well, the decoration is good! Are all the decoration funds paid for with bribes?"
"You... what do you mean?" The woman really didn't dare to call the police now. She was completely unsure who the person in front of her was.
"The meaning is so clear, you still don't understand?" Lin Xiaosu was lying on the sofa and crossed his legs.
"You... who are you? What do you want from our old Liu?"
"I am Detective Lin Xiaosu from Phoenix City Detective Agency!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Deputy Director Liu sent someone to my detective agency early in the morning and gave me a sky-high fine. I can't afford this fine."
The woman's heart that was hanging in the sky finally let go.
It turned out that I was begging for mercy after receiving a fine.
This kind of thing is really common for her.
She has received several visits.
However, those were all people knocking on the door cautiously, carrying large and small bags in their hands, and trying to please everyone. How could they be so rude today?
Treat polite people with courtesy, and at least they will have smiles and tea. However, this is obviously not the case with rude people like Lin Xiaosu.
The woman said coldly, "For work matters, go to his work unit to find him! Get out!"
"You didn't listen to what I said!" Lin Xiaosu said, "What I want to tell you is... I can't bear his fine, so I plan to let him go in first!"
"What do you mean?"
"I don't understand again! It seems that our Deputy Director Liu is good at corruption and bribery. He really can't find a woman!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Let me tell you clearly, I plan to let Deputy Director Liu enter the bureau and spend a few years in prison. Come here today and let you know, so you might as well prepare some winter clothes for him in advance!"
The woman stared at him...
Lin Xiaosu sat on the sofa and looked at her, smiling softly, "Your eyes have conveyed a lot of things. It seems that you are also aware of his illegal behavior!"
In a word, it was an understatement, but there was a faint cold sweat on the woman's back.
"I know you will call your husband next, I will give you a private space! Go to the room and call..." Lin Xiaosu added.
"You... you wait! I'll call the police!" The woman turned around and entered the room. The moment she opened the door, Lin Xiaosu's eyes were aloof...
The door just closed and closed, but everything inside entered his mind, not only what was in front of him, but also what happened last night...
Market Security Bureau, also on the seventh floor.
Deputy Director Liu's office is spacious and tidy.
Deputy Director Liu's name is Liu Dong. He is 46 years old and in the prime of life.
Recently, there have been rumors in the bureau that Director Ren is about to reach his age, and he, the senior deputy director, will be promoted to a full-time job soon.
His direct subordinates even congratulated him privately.
Therefore, he was very high-spirited during this period.
However, at this moment, his expression was very gloomy.
Because his direct subordinate Zhou Luping reported to him the bold behavior of someone today!
"Here comes my trouble..." Liu Dong said coldly, "Then I want to see how much energy he has!"
"He should have a good relationship with Criminal Investigation Brigade's chief Zhang Haokong. Maybe he feels that with the support of the captain, Phoenix City no one can touch him." Zhou Luping said.
"Haha, this is the limitation of vision! From his perspective, a Criminal Investigation Brigade leader is like a local emperor. How does he know that the Criminal Investigation Brigade leader is just a position, and he is on the same level as me! If he dares to act carelessly, he will no longer be the Criminal Investigation Brigade leader in a minute!"
"That's right, you are on the same level in front of me, but in a few days, you will be the one meeting with his immediate boss! Such a person, Lin Xiaosu, blindly trusts him as a local emperor, he is really a country bumpkin..." Zhou Luping said with a smile.
At this moment, the phone Liu Dong placed on the table rang.
Zhou Luping smiled and said, "Did the captain really call you?"
"Where is it? It belongs to my wife..." Liu Dong answered the phone, "My wife!"
"Come back quickly!" came a voice on the phone.
"What's wrong?"
"There's someone at home, it's Phoenix City Detective Agency's Lin Xiaosu..."
"Haha, he even found his home! Tell him to get out!" Liu Dong said calmly.
"..." The voice on the phone lowered his voice and said a long story...
Liu Dong frowned slowly...
Finally, he said, "I'll be right back!"
When the call ended, his face was extremely gloomy...
"Liu Bureau, Lin Xiaosu really came to your home?" Zhou Luping's face lost even a trace of smile.
"Yeah!" Liu Dong nodded lightly.
"It's really lawless! Call the police! I'll tell West City Police Station and let them arrest him directly. The crime is ready-made, breaking into a private house!"
"No need for now! I'll go take a look before we talk!" Liu Dong simply put away the things on the table and stood up.
"Liu Bureau, let me go with you."
"No need!" Liu Dong left the office and went downstairs...
Under normal circumstances, he really should have adopted one of Zhou Luping's two plans, either calling the police or bringing two subordinates and a detective to break into his home. No matter what, he had to be under control.
However, he rejected both plans.
Because Lin Xiaosu has fully written "no one comes with good intentions" on his face.
He also said that he had been involved in corruption and bribery many times.
As for Liu Dong, he has no idea how many things he has mastered. He blindly brings a bunch of people to him. Who knows if others can hear what he says?
This is probably a common problem among people who have done too many bad things.
When Liu Dong returned home, Lin Xiaosu was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed without even leaning over, while his wife, Deng Lan, who was also a well-known figure in Mrs. Phoenix City's circle, stood in front of the window with her arms folded across her chest.
It's a cockfighting gesture.
