Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 726 The case of corruption has been solved!

As Jia Dongming and Lu Qiang escorted Shen Zhongqing through the back door of the consignment shop, they heard Chen Weiguo reprimanding Wang Kai from afar. They immediately asked Chen Weiguo, "Captain Chen! What's wrong with Wang Kai? What made you unhappy?"

Chen Weiguo, who was still angry, was about to tell Jia Dongming about Shen Zhongqing's escape when he heard Jia Dongming's question. But the moment he turned his head, he saw Jia Dongming and Lu Qiang escorting Shen Zhongqing toward them.

When Chen Weiguo saw Shen Zhongqing handcuffed, he was surprised but also secretly relieved. He asked Jia Dongming with a face full of curiosity, "Captain Jia! Where did you catch this guy?"

Upon hearing Chen Weiguo's question and seeing the slightly disheveled Wang Kai and the relieved expressions on the faces of the others, Jia Dongming finally understood why Chen Weiguo had been so angry. He then explained to everyone, "This guy is very cunning. He figured we would ambush him at the front and back doors of the consignment shop, so he climbed out the window onto the roof, then escaped through the roof of the neighboring house all the way to the alley entrance, where he was caught red-handed by Lu Qiang and me."

Hearing Jia Dongming casually describe the entire arrest process to everyone, Lu Qiang immediately recalled the scene where Jia Dongming had led him to the front to wait for Shen Zhongqing to walk into the trap. With a face full of admiration, he introduced to Chen Weiguo, "Team Leader! You probably don't know, but Captain Jia is simply a god."

“I was following behind Captain Jia, running from the front towards the back door. When Captain Jia saw the tree at the corner, he suddenly stopped. He just glanced at the surrounding houses and told me to wait for him in front. Before we even had a minute, this guy climbed down from the tree and was caught red-handed by Captain Jia and me.”

When Chen Weiguo learned about the entire process of Jia Dongming and his team's capture of Shen Zhongqing, he recalled their operation against Shen Zhongqing earlier that day. He felt genuine admiration for Jia Dongming's analytical abilities and quickly said to Jia Dongming, "Captain Jia! If it weren't for your foresight and meticulous capture plan, this guy would probably have slipped away right under our noses."

The reason Jia Dongming was able to successfully capture Shen Zhongqing was entirely because he possessed the Eagle Eye skill, a cheat tool. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to determine that the small building was empty, nor would he have been able to determine that Shen Zhongqing was hiding inside the consignment shop, let alone discover Shen Zhongqing's escape route. He then waited for Shen Zhongqing to walk into his trap on his usual route.

Upon hearing Chen Weiguo's words, Jia Dongming humbly replied, "Captain Chen! Please don't flatter me. Shen Zhongqing is the mastermind behind the black market. Our primary task now is to bring him back to the branch office and begin interrogation immediately."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's reminder, and thinking of the big fish behind Shen Zhongqing, Chen Weiguo immediately nodded and replied, "Captain Jia! You're right. Let's take this guy back to the branch office now and start interrogating him immediately."

Upon hearing Chen Weiguo's words, Jia Dongming recalled the secret he had discovered in the consignment shop using his Eagle Eye skill. He immediately said to Chen Weiguo, "Captain Chen! This consignment shop is suspected of receiving stolen goods. You take two people and escort Shen Zhongqing back to the branch office. The rest of you stay here with me and search this consignment shop to see if we can find any valuable evidence."

Upon learning of Jia Dongming's plan, Chen Weiguo immediately nodded in agreement and replied, "Alright! Wang Kai, Liu Dong, and I will take Shen Zhongqing back first. The rest of you will stay here and see if we can find any evidence from this consignment shop." Wearing handcuffs, Shen Zhongqing, upon learning that Jia Dongming was preparing to search the consignment shop, recalled the letter he had recently received. A look of terror flashed in his eyes, and he secretly regretted not heeding advice to temporarily abandon his money hidden in Beijing and leave for Hong Kong to avoid trouble.

After Chen Weiguo escorted Shen Zhongqing away, Jia Dongming and the others led the remaining personnel to conduct a thorough search of the consignment shop. They eventually found the secret room where Shen Zhongqing hid his things beneath the warehouse. This also made Jia Dongming finally understand why Shen Zhongqing did not choose to take the underground passage when he escaped, but instead chose to escape through the window.

Around 4 PM, after Jia Dongming had transported all the money he had seized to the FT District Branch, he held the account books he had found in the warehouse and instructed Lu Qiang, who had come back with him, "Lu Qiang! I need to go back to the Municipal Bureau immediately. If there are any results from the interrogation of Shen Zhongqing, have Captain Chen call me right away."

Lu Qiang had heard rumors some time ago that Jia Dongming was a brilliant detective. At the time, Lu Qiang was skeptical of this, but it wasn't until he participated in the operation to arrest Shen Zhongqing today that Lu Qiang truly witnessed Jia Dongming's detective abilities and developed a heartfelt admiration for him.

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Lu Qiang immediately guessed why Jia Dongming needed to rush back to the Municipal Bureau. He quickly assured Jia Dongming, "Captain Jia! You can go ahead and attend to your business. After I've put all the seized items into storage, I'll go find our branch captain and tell him your instructions."

Upon hearing Lu Qiang's promise, Jia Dongming immediately started the jeep and drove towards the Municipal Bureau.

Twenty minutes later, the jeep sped into the city bureau compound. Jia Dongming parked the car, grabbed the ledger, and quickly walked into the office building.

Jia Dongming walked to Zhang Zhitao's office door and saw Zhang Zhitao sitting at his desk reviewing case files. He knocked on the door and called out in a firm and clear voice, "Report!"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's report, Zhang Zhitao instinctively looked up and saw Jia Dongming standing at the office door. He smiled and asked Jia Dongming, "Comrade Dongming! You're back? You look travel-worn. Has there been any new progress in the case?"

Upon hearing Zhang Zhitao's question, Jia Dongming, thinking of the person behind the case, quickly walked into Zhang Zhitao's office, placed the ledger in his hand on the desk, and reported to Zhang Zhitao with a serious expression: "Chief! This case of organized crime can basically be declared solved at this point. Almost all the relevant people involved have been arrested. As for the people involved behind this case, they are absolutely beyond your imagination. As for how to handle the follow-up matters of this case, that is beyond your and my control."
