Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

Lin Ying has completely laid her cards on the table. What does this mean? Is she indirectly criticizing others? Who is the protector of the criminal gangs in Gaoshan County? And who is acting as their protector?

Ma Guoliang and the others looked ashen-faced.

Yan Qingshan looked at Lin Ying, his eyes gleaming. He could tell that Lin Ying was doing this on purpose, to make it clear to everyone what she was there for. Today, she was essentially declaring war on the corrupt forces in Gaoshan County. But was such a public statement really a good idea? Wasn't she afraid of retaliation from those behind the scenes? Gaoshan had had three county magistrates!

Yan Qingshan was vaguely worried, but he also knew that Lin Ying was not such a superficial person; she must have her reasons for doing this.

After speaking, Lin Ying turned and walked out of the conference room. The entire conference room was silent, except for the sound of Lin Ying's steady and powerful footsteps.

Lin Ying's arrest of Li Jian was approved by the provincial department. Moreover, she was sent down to investigate Gao Lan's case. Gao Lan did not commit suicide, but was murdered. In fact, she was murdered by someone! These news spread like wildfire, causing great turmoil among everyone present.

If Gao Lan's death was murdered, what about the previous two county magistrates? What about Yue Yuqing and Ji Xiaoqing? They also committed suicide. No, one died by accidental drowning, and the other committed suicide. Could their deaths also be suspicious?

Hong Guotao and the others looked at Ma Guoliang with uncertain expressions. Ma Guoliang had a gloomy face and couldn't say a word. Could it be that the province had already discovered something? That shouldn't be the case!

Thinking of this, Ma Guoliang's heart pounded. He turned to look at Zhao Yuma and said, "Since Lin Ying said she was sent by the province to investigate the case, let's verify it with the province. Anyway, I haven't received any such notification, and I don't know if her actions were really instructed by a certain leader in the province." Lin Ying doesn't have any background. Is it possible for such a demobilized military officer to receive attention and support from the provincial department? Unless, Lin Ying has a powerful background.

"This..." Zhao Yuma hesitated. What was the meaning of making this call? If the provincial department really issued such an order, then they would be the ones in an awkward position. It would mean that the provincial department, and even the province itself, did not trust any of the county leaders from Gaoshan County, and preferred to believe an outsider named Lin Ying.

"Go ahead and call," Ma Guoliang urged. Zhao Yuma thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, picked up his phone, and dialed: "Hello, is this Director Meng?"

"You are..." A deep voice came from the phone. Zhao Yuma quickly pressed the speakerphone button, and everyone perked up their ears.

"I am Zhao Yuma from Gaoshan County. You visited Gaoshan a couple of years ago, and I hosted you then."

Zhao Yuma quickly explained that it was normal for the leader not to have his phone number saved, since the leader was the one in charge!

"What is it?" Meng Jianguo's voice was unreadable.

"It's like this, Director Meng, there's something I'd like to verify with you," Zhao Yuma quickly added.

"Okay, go ahead and say it." Meng Jianguo's voice remained unchanged.

"As you know, Director Lin Ying was sent down to serve as the deputy secretary of the county party committee and acting county head of our county, and also concurrently as the director of the county public security bureau."

"Get to the point." Meng Jianguo's voice was clearly displeased.

Zhao Yuma was startled and quickly sped up his speech, unaware of what he had said that offended the provincial department leaders.

"She had only been there a short time when she arrested Li Jianmin, the head of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, without going through the county discipline inspection commission. She claimed that she was sent by the provincial department to investigate Gao Lan's case, and that she had solid evidence proving that County Magistrate Gao Lan did not commit suicide, but was murdered, and that Li Jianmin was one of the accomplices."

"County Chief Zhao, what do you want to say?" Meng Jianguo's voice was even more displeased. Zhao Yuma's face stiffened, and the others could also tell that Director Meng's tone was very impatient. This was the prelude to his outburst.

Ma Guoliang certainly knew that Gao Lan did not commit suicide. Liu Yixiong had said it before, and Lin Ying had clearly stated that Gao Lan did not commit suicide. However, the others did not know this.

"Sir, I just wanted to talk to you..."

"Alright, is Ma Guoliang here? Is he here?" Meng Jianguo's voice became noticeably louder, rising several decibels.

"Yes, yes, yes, we were just at the Kaixian County Standing Committee meeting. All the members of the Standing Committee, except for Director Lin Ying, were present."

"Oh, why isn't Director Lin Ying here?" Meng Jianguo's voice was somewhat mocking.

Zhao Yuma was stunned and couldn't answer. How should she answer this question? Should she say that she left on her own? Then Director Meng might ask, why didn't she hold the county standing committee meeting? Where did she go?

If we delve deeper into this matter, the truth of today's events will become unclear, or the true purpose of today's meeting may be revealed. Even if they don't say it, Meng Jianguo wouldn't be able to guess.

Anyone who can sit in his position is a shrewd and capable person; hiding it is pointless.

"Well, she just went out because of something." Zhao Yuma had no choice but to make up a lie.

Fortunately, Meng Jianguo didn't delve into it. After a few seconds of silence on the phone, Meng Jianguo's voice suddenly rang out: "Ma Guoliang, you're right here, aren't you?"

Ma Guoliang quickly replied, "Yes, Director Meng." This was the first time he had been so blatantly called out, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant. Anyway, Meng Jianguo couldn't see it.

"What are your thoughts on the deaths of the previous three county magistrates, Secretary Ma?" Meng Jianguo's question immediately silenced the room.

These words came from the mouth of a provincial public security bureau chief, and he was questioning the county party secretary of Gaoshan County. What does this mean?

What does this mean?

Everyone's heart was pounding. Ma Guoliang panicked for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

"Ma Guoliang, you've lived in Gaoshan for so many years. You should know how Gaoshan County developed. Over the years, you have indeed made considerable achievements in economic development, and the people's lives seem to have become more prosperous. But, Ma Guoliang, ask yourself honestly, are the people of Gaoshan County truly happy?"

These words startled everyone once again. How much weight did it carry for a provincial leader to ask a county party secretary?!

Ma Guoliang's expression changed several times. He suddenly regretted letting Zhao Yuma make that call.

"Three county magistrates died in quick succession? Accidental death? Suicide? Secretary Ma, and all the county leaders present, do you think the provincial and municipal leaders are idiots? Are you stupid?" Meng Jianguo's words caused everyone in the room to freeze in shock. The deaths of three county magistrates were all suspicious?

Lin Ying didn't come for Gao Lan; she came for the deaths of three county magistrates? The thought startled Ma Guoliang, and he trembled violently. However, apart from the Gao Lan case, the other two cases had no flaws. Could it be that someone had caught him red-handed?
