Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

When he heard that there would be an operation in the section that night and that people wouldn't be allowed to leave work, Lü Jiawei was utterly disappointed.

"Xiao Lü, don't worry, you've been single for a while now," Hou Jun teased, putting his arm around his neck.

"Sigh! Good things come to those who wait... Master, what exactly is this operation? We need everyone in the section to stay behind."

Old Zeng glared at him: "If you want to know, go ask Section Chief yourself!"

"They're only making their move at night, could they be catching spies?" Lu Jiawei muttered to himself.

*Slap!* Old Zeng slapped him on the head: "You fucking loose tongue, huh? You dare to blurt out anything!"

The group continued their patrol in two teams and encountered Xiao Wang in the courtyard.

"Chang Kun, Aunt Song used her camera last night, could you lend it to me tomorrow night?"

Why didn't you borrow it tonight?

Xiao Wang smiled and said, "We have an operation tonight, so I can't go home."

Hearing this from the side, Lü Jiawei quickly interjected, "Sister Wang, do you clerical staff also have to work overtime?"

"Sigh, who can argue with that? All the other clerical staff can go home, but I have to keep writing action reports..."

Xiao Wang sighed. She wasn't thinking about a promotion or a raise, and she didn't want to work overtime, especially the night shift!

"So, do you know what kind of operation it is?"

Xiao Wang rolled his eyes: "Is this something you can ask around about? What if it leaks? Will we be asking you for questioning?"

"Forget it, forget it, I can't afford to mess with them!" Lü Jiawei quickly slipped away.

When they patrolled to the platform, an officer in plainclothes came over and greeted them.

"Uncle Lei, Monkey, Chang Kun..."

"It's Brother Gui, what's up?" Hou Jun replied with a grin.

"When you went to Tianjin, didn't you give me a thief? I haven't even said thank you yet."

"Oh, you should thank my junior brother, he's the one who found the thief!" Hou Jun pulled Chang Kun over to him.

Chang Kun shook hands with Gui Ge: "Gui Ge, there's no need for thanks, it's all for work."

"That's not how it works. Thanks to this thief, I might have done something good this time." Gui Ge took out a cigarette and lit it for the group.

"Oh? Just a thief? There's a story behind it, Brother Gui?" Hou Jun immediately became interested.

Brother Gui chuckled: "You'll find out tonight."

Knowing it was related to the night's operation, Hou Jun, though eager to know more, refrained from asking any further questions.

After a few puffs of smoke, the men returned to their posts to patrol.

As it was nearing the end of the workday, Section Chief Zhang Qingfeng gathered all those involved in the operation at the small canteen.

There was no other way; there were as many as thirty people involved, and the office wasn't big enough to accommodate them all.

Once everyone had arrived, Zhang Qingfeng first invited them to eat.

Normally, the company doesn't provide dinner, but we have to work overtime tonight, and we can't let people fight on an empty stomach.

The leftover mutton soup from yesterday, paired with cornbread that was tough on the throat, was a delicious meal for everyone.

Being able to eat at work saves the family a meal, which makes people who were initially slightly resentful of working overtime at night feel much better.

Chang Kun chewed on his cornbread, trying hard to swallow, and almost choked. He sighed inwardly, thinking that if he weren't working overtime, he would probably be at home eating sea cucumber by now.

Colleagues would come over to greet him from time to time, all wanting to get to know this amazing guy who occasionally supplied meat to the section.

After finishing his meal, his face was practically frozen from smiling.

Being a celebrity is tough; I only have to deal with this many people at work. I wonder if the facial muscles of future stars and internet celebrities will ever cramp up when they have to put on a smiling face.

"Alright! Everyone's finished eating. Let me explain the operation!" Zhang Qingfeng clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

After hearing the details of the case, Chang Kun realized that tonight's operation was not to catch spies or thieves, but to raid a casino!

Everyone got excited when they heard this!

Whether in this era or in later generations, the police love to crack down on gambling, partly because the risk is relatively low, but more importantly because it can expand the unit's slush fund.

When you raid gambling, there's a table full of money, but nobody claims it's theirs. So why not confiscate it?

In later generations, the public security slush funds might only be used to distribute some fruit and mooncakes during festivals, which could be considered icing on the cake.

Things were different then. A little more money could allow everyone in the unit to have a few more good meals. When they heard it was about cracking down on gambling, everyone was eager to get involved.

After saying a few words, Zhang Qingfeng called Gui Ge over: "This casino was discovered by Wang Gui. Now let him introduce the casino."

Everyone applauded enthusiastically, because anyone who can get money, food, and meat for their workplace is welcome anywhere.

Gui Ge smiled shyly: "I was only able to interrogate him because Chang Kun gave me a thief."

The crowd applauded again, and as Brother Gui explained, they all understood the background of the case.

That day, Chang Kun was in a hurry to catch the train, and before the thief could make a move, Gui Ge caught him.

Later, Gui found a razor blade on the thief, but the thief insisted that it was used to scrape his feet.

These days, the police don't care much about witnesses and physical evidence. When they see a thief, he just won't admit it, which makes Brother Gui so angry that he whips him hard with his belt.

The thief couldn't hold out any longer and still refused to admit to stealing. Instead, he revealed several gambling dens.

This is much more important than catching a thief. Brother Gui scouted several places but found nothing.

He finally found the hideout by disguising himself as a drunkard.

After several days of reconnaissance and observation, he had figured out the scale of the hideout and its modus operandi. After reporting to the section chief, Zhang Qingfeng made a decisive decision to take action that night.

As for reporting to higher authorities or cooperating with other police stations?

How will the money and valuables found be distributed? It'll lead to endless disputes. It's better to keep the benefits for yourself first.

As long as the case is handled cleanly and efficiently, even if superiors find out about it, they will only praise you.

But if the key figure gets away, Zhang Qingfeng will have to bear a lot of responsibility if the matter is investigated.

In order to make the unit's slush fund a little fuller, Zhang Qingfeng was willing to take a small risk.

In order to perfectly resolve the casino issue, Zhang Qingfeng kept all the able-bodied people in the section, except for some clerical women.

After explaining the whole story, Brother Gui took out several sheets of paper and distributed them to everyone. The drawings on them were very detailed, not only showing the front and back doors of the gambling den, but also clearly marking the surrounding houses and streets.

It's clear that Brother Gui has really put in the effort for this.

The main force of the arrest operation was personally led by Section Chief, with Brother Gui, who was familiar with the terrain, taking the lead.

The section chief originally arranged for Chang Kun to keep watch on the perimeter, in case there was any danger inside the casino, and to take care of him.

You can't make an exception at this time; even if others don't say anything, they'll inevitably have their doubts.

At Chang Kun's insistence, he also joined the arrest team.

The thirty men were divided into three teams: one team rushed to the front door, the second team guarded the back door, and the remaining three teams guarded the street corner by the wall.

Normally, with so many people involved in raiding casinos, there shouldn't be any who escape.

With such a three-tiered arrangement, if the casino staff still manage to escape, they can only be described as incredibly lucky.

At 8:10, everything was ready and everyone set off.
