Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

"Old Liang, do you know anything about County Chief Gao's matter? Did you come back that night?" Xiao Zhang's words startled Old Liang again, and he quickly waved his hands, "Boss, I originally wanted to come back that night, but I didn't. Why are you all asking me about this? Oh well, never mind, I won't argue with you anymore. I have to go. I've bought my train ticket. Please process my resignation!" Old Liang didn't say anything more, but Xiao Zhang was still somewhat skeptical. He looked at Old Liang, hesitant to speak.

Duan Fei had just returned to Lin Ying's office when his phone rang: "Hello, who is this?"

"Comrade Duan, this is Xiao Zhang from the personnel department. The Lao Liang you were looking for is processing his resignation. I feel something is off about this. Why don't you talk to him again?" Xiao Zhang had only been at the personnel department for a short time and had a good impression of County Magistrate Gao Lan. However, as soon as he finished making the call, the personnel director, Ma Fuguo, called him in.

"Xiao Zhang, what are you doing? Who are you calling?" Ma Fuguo looked at Xiao Zhang with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.

"Oh, Lao Liang is resigning. I'll call the police officer who came to investigate County Chief Gao's case today to remind him." Xiao Zhang, completely oblivious to the seriousness of the situation, simply looked innocently at Ma Fuguo. The latter, slightly startled, glanced at Xiao Zhang with feigned ignorance, then said solemnly, "Xiao Zhang, you've been in the personnel department for three months now, haven't you?"

Xiao Zhang nodded, not understanding what Ma Fuguo meant: "Yes, Director, what's wrong?"

"As a personnel specialist, you should understand what you should and shouldn't manage. Some things may seem like personnel issues, but they aren't. Conversely, some things may not seem like personnel issues, but they are. Do you understand?"

Xiao Zhang was slightly stunned and a little confused. Why was Director Ma saying such philosophical things? He only vaguely understood what he was talking about.

Suddenly, he remembered the phone call he had just received and realized that this was a subtle hint. He was startled and quickly nodded, "Understood, boss. I will pay attention in the future. Thank you for your guidance."

"Good that you understand, Xiao Zhang. You're a smart person, don't make a mistake. I just need to do my job well. We're not the police, nor can we work for the procuratorate. We shouldn't meddle in things that aren't our business, and we shouldn't interfere in things that aren't our responsibility. Understand?"

"I understand, I understand completely." Xiao Zhang's heart tightened. He knew there must be a reason, otherwise, Ma Fuguo wouldn't have said all that to him. You see, Ma Fuguo usually didn't care about him, and he wouldn't come to him in person unless there was something important.

After leaving Ma Fuguo's office, Xiao Zhang hurried to process Lao Liang's resignation, but not long after, Duan Fei appeared at his office door with his men.

"You made it, Comrade Zhang." Duan Fei called out. Zhang looked up, paused slightly, and said awkwardly, "Um, I just..." He couldn't easily take back what he'd said. Before he could finish, Duan Fei interrupted him, "Where's Lao Liang? We want to talk to him."

"Oh, he just finished the formalities and should have left already."

"What? So fast? Why didn't you stop him?" Duan Fei exclaimed in shock. That night, Lao Liang might really have come back. Could he have seen something? Could he be a witness? If so, then the Gao Lan case would see a breakthrough. Lu Xiujuan could be a witness for the prosecution, and the real autopsy report in her possession could serve as evidence. But it wouldn't be enough, because it couldn't be determined whether Gao Lan's death was a homicide, and the murderer couldn't be found. The criminals who broke into the house hadn't even been found yet.

When Lin Ying returned to the police station, Xie Zhijun called. His voice sounded anxious: "Li Jianmin went somewhere today, guess where?"

"Alright, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me." Lin Ying wasn't in the mood to guess right now, because it seemed like someone was desperate and might actually do something drastic.

She could sense that Liu Yixiong's attitude had changed significantly.

"He went to a KTV called 'Unbreakable Love'."

Lin Ying was startled and blurted out, "You suspect Sun Ping is being held there?" Li Jianmin definitely wanted to get the USB drive out of Sun Ping, so he couldn't touch Sun Ping for the time being. But if he locked Sun Ping up in the police station, he was afraid Lin Ying would take him away. So, they could only lock him up somewhere else, and somewhere Lin Ying couldn't have imagined.

"Yes, I suspect the person is being held in there. However, I had someone listen to my records before. Xingmengyuan is the most upscale KTV in Gaoshan, and its boss is Ninth Master."

"Ninth Master?"

"Yes, it's Zhao Jiu, the boss of Jiuxing Group." Jiuxing Group covers almost all the entertainment industries in Gaoshan County, including bars, high-end clubs, KTVs, bath centers, various massage parlors, and underground banks. It is said that Jiuxing's high-end clubs have high-end goods. I wonder what those high-end goods are.

If it's drugs, then Zhao Jiu's Jiuxing Group is involved in everything from prostitution and gambling to drugs.

Will Sun Ping be detained there? Xie Zhijun certainly wouldn't make baseless accusations. Right now, for Li Jianmin and Liu Yixiong, the information in Sun Ping's hands could be fatal. Only by getting that USB drive can Li Jianmin and Liu Yixiong feel at ease.

"Boss, I suggest we take immediate action to search the Buqing KTV and find the person responsible."

"No, that would alert them. They might move the people away, and then it wouldn't be easy to find them again."

"But if we don't take action, I estimate that if this drags on, they might resort to torture against Sun Ping, and it's hard to say whether he can withstand it."

Lin Ying fell silent. Of course, she had thought of this as well. However, she needed to ensure Sun Ping's safety. Otherwise, she would lack a strong witness. Sun Ping must know some things, which might be the evidence that Gao Lan had before her death.

"Tonight, I've arranged for a surprise inspection of Xingmengyuan. Are you confident you can find the person?"

"I need Duan Fei's help, otherwise, I'm afraid it won't work. I just took a look, and Bu Liaoqing has a lot of bodyguards, and some of them look like Burmese, so they should be quite skilled."

Tonight, even if it's a den of dragons and tigers, he'll still venture in. However, even if he manages to get out on his own, it won't matter; the key is to bring Sun Ping out.

"Okay, I'll arrange a raid on prostitution tonight. You go in and find the person, and bring them out when you find them. But you have to be careful, I heard that Wang Dalong has some thugs under his command."

Xie Zhijun nodded slightly. Shotguns? Not enough. It's a pity he can't use a sniper rifle, otherwise, he would definitely show these guys the prowess of the King of Snipers.
