Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

Ma Guoliang wanted to meet with the municipal party secretary to learn some information. If he didn't, Gaoshan County would be finished. However, after several attempts, Liu Dongyang, the secretary of the municipal party secretary, refused for various reasons. Ma Guoliang felt a deep sense of panic and finally couldn't hold back any longer. That very night, he had his driver take him to Baiyun City.

Ma Guoliang left in a hurry, but Liu Yixiong was still pondering how to get the file back from Lin Ying. When he approached Lin Ying's office again and heard laughter coming from inside, Liu Yixiong was completely stumped. He turned around and quietly left Lin Ying's office.

Just as he left, Fatty Xu pushed open the door and entered, looking at Lin Ying with an anxious expression: "Director Lin, I just overheard that Sun Ping has been moved."

Lin Ying was startled, her heart sinking. She hadn't expected Liu Yixiong to act so quickly. She hurriedly asked, "Have you found out where they moved them?"

"Not yet, but Lü Dayong probably doesn't know. It's possible that only Li Jianmin knows this location."

Lin Ying nodded, but her heart was heavy. It seemed that Lü Dayong and Li Jianmin were likely Liu Yixiong's confidants. What exactly did Liu Yixiong do, and what role did he play in the Gao Lan case? This was what terrified Lin Ying the most. A deputy director of the county public security bureau could be involved in the murder of the county magistrate. Could Liu Yixiong be an accomplice?

Lin Ying was unaware that there was no conclusive evidence pointing to Liu Yixiong, but the actions of Li Jianmin and Lü Dayong had already explained everything; they had overstepped their bounds far too much.

"Have Duan Fei keep a close eye on them. Also, have Xie Zhijun follow Li Jianmin and see if he can find Sun Ping's whereabouts." Xu Pangzi quickly nodded at Lin Ying's instructions.

Lin Ying picked up the case file of Gao Lan and continued to study it. Gao Lan's body was discovered on May 18, but in fact, she died on the evening of May 17. According to the forensic examination, Gao Lan committed suicide by cutting her wrists. Because she had accepted a bribe of one million yuan, she felt uneasy and guilty, so she committed suicide by cutting her wrists. On the evening of May 17, three or four robbers broke into her home and robbed her of everything, so the one million yuan also disappeared.

Looking at the so-called letter of repentance left by Gao Lan, Lin Ying remained speechless for a long time. Had the handwriting been compared? Also, when Gao Lan died, she had fractures all over her body, which was clearly stated in Lu Xiujuan's autopsy report. Why was this report not mentioned at all? Was there a problem with this report, or was Lu Xiujuan lying?

If it was Lu Xiujuan, then what was her purpose? The autopsy report in her hand was also signed by Lu Xiujuan, but there was another person on it: Qin Wenbin, the director of the forensic center. In particular, the report didn't mention Gao Lan's assault at all. She believed that Lu Xiujuan would have no reason to use Gao Lan's assault to make a fuss, so it seemed that she was quite credible.

She made another call and asked someone to bring her a handwritten copy of Gao Lan's manuscript. She carefully compared the handwriting of the two manuscripts and was shocked to find that the two handwritings were almost identical. In other words, the letter of repentance was indeed written by Gao Lan.

Could it be that she really accepted a million-dollar bribe, then committed suicide out of guilt, and that the million-dollar was stolen by a few burglars who broke into her home?

Lin Ying found the whole thing absurd. How did the robbers get into Gao Lan's dormitory? And how did they know she had a million yuan?

Gao Lan lives in a dormitory run by the county government, which is guarded. There were three or four people on the other side. How did they manage to get past the guards and enter the dormitory run by the county government?

A robbery and assault occurred in the county government's dormitory? If this got out, nobody would believe it! Who could have come up with such a ridiculous excuse?

It seems that only by retrieving the surveillance footage from the county government dormitory building on the night of May 17th can we get a clear picture. However, Lin Ying doesn't hold out much hope. As a veteran police officer, if there were police officers helping him behind the scenes, then the surveillance footage might have been malfunctioning, or it might have been broken that night.

Sure enough, the case file showed that on the evening of May 17, the county government dormitory building suddenly lost power, and the surveillance cameras were out of service for nearly an hour. It was precisely during this hour that Gao Lan's dormitory was forcibly entered. The home of the county magistrate was robbed, and the next day, she was found dead in her home.

But on what basis did the police determine that the burglars did not commit murder? The autopsy report stated that Gao Lan committed suicide by cutting her wrists. The police also determined that most of the cash and jewelry on her person and in her home had been stolen, and that three people's footprints were found at the scene. Therefore, they concluded that Gao Lan's home had been robbed.

So, did Gao Lan die or not during the robbery?

The surveillance footage didn't capture the three burglars, so the exact time of the robbery couldn't be determined. The only explanation was that the one-hour power outage coincided with the time Gao Lan was robbed. Based on rigor mortis, the forensic examiner deduced that Gao Lan died an hour before that point, between 10 and 11 PM on May 17th. This means Gao Lan died at least before 10 PM. This confirmation of the time of death is crucial.

If there's a problem with the timing, then the entire case will be questionable. After thinking for a moment, Lin Ying picked up the phone and dialed: "Help me get Lu Xiujuan to come over and listen to the phone call. I have some questions for her."

"Okay." A moment later, footsteps came from the phone. After a while, the receiver was picked up again: "Hello, Director Lin!" It was Lu Xiujuan's voice, which sounded a little trembling. Lin Ying was a little surprised and wondered if Lu Xiujuan was excited.

"Lu Xiujuan, you and Qin Wenbin both signed the autopsy report. I want to know, is the time of Gao Lan's death what you wrote on the autopsy report?"

"No, Director Lin, County Chief Gao's time of death was between 10 PM and 11 PM on May 17th."

"What?" Lin Ying stood up abruptly, her eyes wide with shock. It turned out that during that one hour of power outage, both Lu Xiujuan and Qin Wenbin had signed the autopsy report. Lu Xiujuan was coerced, but what about Qin Wenbin?

In other words, Gao Lan died within an hour of the robbery. Is it possible that she did not commit suicide, but was killed by the robbers who broke into her home?

This shocking confirmation made Lin Ying's heart pound. Why would Qin Wenbin lie? As the director of the forensic center, could he also be an accomplice of the real culprit?

Lin Ying's face turned extremely ugly. A dignified forensic doctor, a renowned descendant of the Qin family, actually acted as an accomplice to evil and fabricated evidence?

By the way, what crime was Lu Xiujuan charged with? It's impossible for Lü Dayong to pursue Lu Xiujuan without a charge; that would be in accordance with police procedures.

"Director Lin, they..."
