The mysterious woman's hidden front

That year, the drug enforcement department of the city's Public Security Bureau received a tip that a mysterious woman had been particularly active in the drug market recently. Her "goods" were of high purity and large quantity, and she was very assertive, but the bureau knew nothing about her specific information. Was the rumor true, and was there really such a person? The pressure of drug enforcement work was great, and the drug enforcement department began to arrange and secretly deploy nervously.

After a period of preparation, the city bureau had a clue about an important subordinate of the mysterious woman, a drug dealer nicknamed "Bald Head." The drug enforcement department believed the time was ripe and specially transferred a special police officer, known as Officer Xu, to pretend to be a small buyer and contact Bald Head, asking for goods. After several tests by the drug dealer, they finally agreed to meet and talk.

Officer Xu was blindfolded and taken to a farmhouse in the suburbs by a car. Upon arrival, five young men watched him get out of the car. After entering the house, they searched him and scanned him with a metal detector. After the search, before Officer Xu could sit down, he was kicked down from behind, and a pistol was pressed against the back of his head. The bald drug dealer shouted loudly, "You kid is a cop! I'll shoot you dead! What's your mission? How much have you found out?"

Lying on the ground, sweat was already seeping from Officer Xu's forehead: Had his identity been exposed, or was the other side fishing for information? Thoughts flashed through his mind at lightning speed, and he had to make a decision in half a second. He decided to stick to his story: "Brothers, you don't have to do this for a black-on-black attack. I brought some money, and I can give up the goods for a way out."

Hearing this, Bald Head pressed the gun harder against Officer Xu's head. A henchman came over and put a bag over Officer Xu's head and tightly strangled him with a rope around his neck. Gradually, Officer Xu's veins bulged, and his breathing became difficult. Bald Head shouted, "Quickly say what your mission is and how much you know. If you don't, I'll count to three and shoot!"

Officer Xu thought, he had anticipated the search and didn't bring a wiretap or a locator. He made up his mind and said, "I'm here for a real deal. You can take the money, and I'll accept my fate today. Let's meet in the underworld."

Bald Head shouted "three" and waited for a few seconds without any movement. Suddenly, he pulled Officer Xu up and, after an unknown amount of time, slowly put the gun away on the table and said, "Sit down." He waved his hand to signal, and suddenly, he accidentally knocked the gun off the table. It fell right in front of Officer Xu.

The atmosphere became tense again. Officer Xu didn't know what the drug dealer would do next. It seemed to be a good opportunity to quickly pick up the gun and fight back. However, in the moment the gun fell to the ground, Officer Xu saw the height it bounced back up and immediately understood everything. So he said softly, "Brother, you dropped your gun." Bald Head stared at Officer Xu and slowly picked up the gun himself, pulling Officer Xu into the inner room where four henchmen were standing around the room. They sat down on the sofa and began to talk.

Bald Head said to Officer Xu, "You passed the test. That was an empty gun. Don't take offense." Officer Xu nodded and skillfully discussed the delivery method in jargon and subtly proposed to meet the higher-ups.

During the transaction, Bald Head took out several paper packages for Officer Xu to inspect. If Officer Xu hadn't used drugs and couldn't tell the difference in quality, he would have交代here again. One must understand drugs and be able to resist addiction; this is not something ordinary people can endure. Officer Xu had heard that in a case from another province, a drug enforcement officer couldn't hold back and went down the path of drug trafficking. Later, to atone for his sins, he was the first to rush into the drug dealer's base during a mission. When the drug dealer threw a grenade, he had no time to react and kicked the iron door of the room shut, blocking the smoking grenade inside. There was a muffled explosion, and this served as an end.

Officer Xu inspected the quality and expressed satisfaction. Bald Head also breathed a sigh of relief, and they decided to cooperate. At this moment, Bald Head seemed to glance at Officer Xu's wrist a few times and then warmly offered to escort him out. Officer Xu also settled down and followed him out of the house. At this time, a henchman standing in the corner of the room approached and casually said to the wall, "Brother, you wore the wrong watch today." He seemed to be speaking to the wall, and his voice was so low that only Officer Xu could hear it. But after hearing this seemingly plain sentence, Officer Xu was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

Officer Xu was wearing a very ordinary watch, but the strap was not the original one. This strap came from a prize for an advanced individual awarded by the public security system, a special commemorative product from the watch factory. This gift watch, because of its uniqueness, was not convenient to wear during missions, so Officer Xu gave it to his family. The watch was later damaged and put aside. Officer Xu has always worn an ordinary watch. During a mission, the strap was torn, and Officer Xu remembered that the strap of the prize watch was still in good condition. He tried it on, and it fit perfectly, so he has been wearing it ever since. Over the years, he gradually got used to it and forgot the uniqueness of this strap. At this moment, the henchman's seemingly plain sentence was like a bombshell, shocking Officer Xu.

Officer Xu looked at the henchman suspiciously: Was he reminding himself of something? But the henchman had no expression, as if he had never spoken. Officer Xu nodded slightly to him and left the house. Bald Head said to his men outside the house, "The road in the village is dark; I'll take him to the main road. You don't have to follow."

Officer Xu followed Bald Head casually, chatting, and slowly came to a secluded farmland. At this time, the corner of Officer Xu's eye saw Bald Head's hand slowly reaching into his chest, and he immediately turned and pounced... After a fierce struggle, Officer Xu finally pinned Bald Head under him and took out the gun from his chest. The gun was heavy and already loaded. Later, according to Bald Head's confession, he had seen a guard wearing a similar strap when he was in prison, so after noticing Officer Xu's wrist, he decided to kill.

With the help of the villagers, Officer Xu immediately contacted the police officers waiting for news in the rear and immediately executed the arrest mission, arresting Bald Head's men on the spot and interrogating them. Based on their confessions, they went to the temporary residence of the mysterious woman and arrested her that night.

Later, Officer Xu learned that in order to get in touch with the cunning drug dealers, the leadership arranged for such a person: He had no files, no records, did not belong to the drug enforcement brigade, nor to any other unit. Most people did not know to whom he reported, and only knew that he came from the covert front.

This person from the covert front was first sent to prison and cleverly put in the same cell as Bald Head. As soon as he entered the cell, he was beaten up according to "rules" and lay on the cold concrete floor for two whole days. After several tests and contacts, he was gradually accepted by Bald Head.

It was thanks to the internal intelligence of this comrade that Officer Xu had the opportunity to trade with Bald Head.

At the celebration meeting, Officer Xu had been looking forward to meeting this mysterious comrade who saved his life. However, due to the nature of the covert front's work, this comrade was ultimately unable to attend. But at the meeting, Officer Xu received a strange phone call. The other party only said, "Comrade, did you wear the right watch today?" After a chuckle, he hung up the phone. Although it was only one sentence, Officer Xu was extremely excited because he recognized the voice on the other end of the phone as the "henchman," the person from the covert front...
