The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

Duan An looked a little embarrassed.

His house only has one spare room.

Five people can squeeze in, but it's definitely not as comfortable as staying in a guesthouse.

"Our place is small and the environment here is indeed not as nice as yours. I won't stand on ceremony with you. You don't have to stay, but you have to come home with me for a meal."

"Otherwise, I won't have the face to face my old comrades in the future."

He had already turned onto the road to his wife's workplace so she could go home early and cook.

Li Tian smiled and thanked her.

It would be unreasonable to skip this meal.

Li Muchen took on the task of calling people.

Duan An smiled and chatted with Li Tian about everyday things, asking her how old she was and what grade she was in.

"Uncle Duan, is the forest law enforcement team under your jurisdiction?"

Duan An didn't know why Li Tian was interested in this, but he still gave an answer.

"The enforcement team has two parts of responsibility: one is forestry administration, which is responsible for illegal logging, and the other is forest criminal investigation, which is responsible for criminal offenses such as illegal logging and poaching."

"Criminal investigation falls under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Bureau."

Li Tian was secretly pleased.

This time, we've finally found the real deal.

But then he thought, the county town is so small, does Duan An really not know what those people are doing?

Li Tian was very afraid that Duan An was in cahoots with those people.

Although it won't threaten them in any way, the evidence can't be handed over casually.

Li Tian calmed herself down and didn't rush to talk about what happened at the checkpoint outside the city.

"Uncle Duan, is there a lot of illegal logging and poaching?"

Duan An nodded.

"With the distribution of mountains to individual households, indiscriminate logging has become increasingly serious. There are also some outside poachers who specifically target rare animals and use particularly cruel methods."

Have you ever encountered this in the mountains?

Li Tian shook her head; they indeed hadn't encountered it.

"We didn't venture deep into the mountains; we stayed on the outskirts the whole time."

Duan An didn't know if they would continue, but he still gave them a reminder.

"When you're in the wild, besides staying away from animals, you also need to be wary of poachers. They're all desperate criminals, so don't mess with them."

Li Tian quickly agreed.

Even the best kung fu skills are no match for bullets.

She is not a reckless man.

"Isn't fighting poaching quite dangerous?"

Duan An's expression turned serious.

"It's very dangerous. Those people all have hunting rifles. Inevitably, someone will get injured during every major operation. Last year, one of our comrades even sacrificed his life..."

Located on the border, it is currently plagued by poaching and illegal logging, and in a few years it will also have to confront drugs.

The law enforcement officers here face real danger and hardship.

Li Tian was filled with awe.

"How can you search this vast mountain range?"

Duan An smiled. This child is young, but he thinks a lot.

"There are routine patrols, and checkpoints are also set up at key locations."

"But we have limited manpower and funding, and we can't plug all the loopholes. They will always find a way to smuggle it away quietly."

At this point, Duan An's face became somewhat solemn, mixed with a hint of helplessness.

After spending some time with Duan An, Li Tian felt that he was quite simple and honest, unlike the cunning and bureaucratic old man.

So she told them about the fines levied at the checkpoints outside the city.

Duan An was furious when he heard that.

"What?! Is this even possible? Someone being fined 5 yuan for no reason? This is outrageous!"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

Duan An scratched his head and looked at Li Tian.

"Are you sure you haven't done anything illegal?"

Li Tian shook her head and replied decisively.

"No, I also recorded the scene."

Duan An gave Li Tian a deep look; Li Yuanchao really knew how to educate his child.

So young and already knows how to preserve evidence.

If there's evidence, things are easier to handle; we can deal with it as appropriate. Otherwise, he can only give a few words of reprimand and can't impose any actual punishment.

Li Tian took out her Walkman from her pocket.

Before the show even started, Li Muchen led everyone out.

"Battalion Commander Duan..."

Liu Wei rushed over in two quick steps.

Duan An heard the noise and looked over, his face filled with surprise.

Start jogging.

He punched Liu Wei as soon as they met.

"What, it's you, kid? Li Yuanchao didn't say you were coming on the phone."

Liu Wei chuckled and scratched his head.

"I was summoned to the commander's side by the regimental commander, so I can't make a scene this time."

Duan An punched him again.

"If you follow the leader and work hard, you'll have a brighter future than me."

Liu Wei chuckled foolishly.

He was just a country boy with no connections or opportunities, so he was lucky despite his simple life.

Upon seeing Elder Shen, Duan An quickly released Liu Wei and went to greet him.

He had already learned about Elder Shen's identity from Li Tian.

Ordinary people naturally feel a sense of awe and respect for highly respected traditional Chinese medicine doctors, who can save lives with just a few words.

"Sir, you would be so kind as to come to my home for a simple meal."

Mr. Shen smiled kindly.

"We'll follow your lead, and we're sorry to trouble you."

Duan An smiled politely, then remembered the question Li Tian had just raised.

Clearly, these people are among those who will be punished.

"Li Tian, ​​please play the recording once."

Li Tian pressed the play button.

Although the sound was sometimes loud and sometimes soft, it was quite clear.

If it's someone you know, you can tell who it is just by hearing it.

Duan An listened with a frown; it was the first time he had ever heard of his subordinates being so presumptuous.

These people are cunning; they specialize in robbing outsiders.

Those who were punished dared not speak out, and no one reported the incident.

I wonder if they also let many real poachers escape.

Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

This matter needs to be investigated further.

"Could I have this tape?"

Li Tian deftly took it out and handed it to Duan An.

The saying goes, "If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them."

Once you choose to believe, you must give them your full trust.

Duan An first apologized to everyone, and then made a statement.

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly, everyone. Rest assured, I will definitely eliminate these bad apples."

"Our conditions here are relatively better; the work on the border is much more difficult and arduous, but no matter what, corruption and bribery must be investigated to the end."

Li Tian smiled.

"Uncle Duan, we have your backing, but what about ordinary people? If they encounter real poachers, will they turn a blind eye? That's the real danger."

These words struck a chord with Duan An.

But before the investigation is complete, he can only express his opinion.

Wang Datou's arrogance must be backed by someone powerful; the only problem is that his own limited influence might not be enough to sway them.

In small counties, relationships are complex and intricate, making it very difficult to get things done.

As for how Duan An was dealt with, no one asked.

You cannot cross the boundary.

Once everyone had arrived, it was almost noon, so Duan An led them home.

The advantage of small towns is that you can get there in about 20 minutes on foot.

A single-story house with its own entrance and courtyard.

It's about 60-70% new.

Duan An invited everyone into the house.

His parents, wife, and two young children were all there.

The group introduced themselves and exchanged pleasantries.

Duan An's elderly mother led her daughter-in-law into the kitchen.

Li Tian then played with the Duan family's son and daughter.

Before the meal was even served, a person in uniform ran in.

"Chief, we have a big case!"
