Office of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Bazhou City.

Zhou Xiang put down the phone, remained silent for a few seconds, and then sighed.

I have to sigh.

This morning, as soon as he entered his office, the investigation report on the case of Sun Yan, the deputy director of Shuanglingang Police Station, accepting bribes and handling the case improperly, was delivered to his desk.

The materials compiled by the disciplinary inspection department were a thick stack, and he couldn't bear to read them after turning to the second page.

Sun Yan is practically running the police station like his own private business.

The person who bribed him was also identified as the president of a German company in China, a well-known and powerful foreign company.

This case is already giving him enough headaches.

Before he could even settle into his chair, his son Zhou Yu called.

Zhou Yu spoke quickly on the phone, saying that there had been a car accident on the elevated road in the development zone, and Lu Jingxiu had been hit and was covered in blood.

There were two police officers standing nearby, but instead of doing anything, they let the suspect in the car escape right in front of him.

Yes, in front of the son of the municipal party secretary.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiang closed his eyes for a while.

Very good. Under the supervision of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the public security force in Ba City is well-established.

He had already mentally simulated what tone and wording Secretary Lu would use when addressing the issue of team building within the city's public security system at the next Standing Committee meeting.

He could even imagine what Lu Feng's expression would be when he said those words.

The top official would slam his fist on the table, looking at him sternly: "With the police force experiencing repeated problems, the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's supervisory responsibility must be firmly implemented first. Secretary Zhou, you can't just be coordinators; you must be supervisors!!"

He then scanned the room again, and declared firmly, "I'll say it one last time: the municipal party committee's bottom line is inviolable! The purity of the political and legal system is not to be challenged!"

That's why he sighed.

Because the Party Secretary mentioned the Political and Legal Affairs Commission at the meeting, things immediately got busy, and the entire municipal political and legal affairs commission system would immediately enter a state of high-intensity operation.

This is not just ordinary overtime work; it is a mandatory task that requires the formulation of a special rectification plan and the completion of rectification within a specified time.

For him, if his attitude was ambiguous or his actions were slow, it meant he lacked political awareness, and his career had reached its limit; he could then prepare for retirement.

After sighing, Zhou Xiang rubbed his temples. He didn't stay in the chair worrying any longer. He opened his eyes, picked up the landline on the table, and dialed an internal number.

"Section Chief Wang, it's me," he said calmly, without a trace of the sigh he had just uttered. "I just received a report from the public that two police officers were suspected of dereliction of duty at the scene of a traffic accident on the elevated section of the development zone this morning."

"You should immediately contact the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Supervision Division to retrieve all law enforcement recorders and on-site surveillance footage from the area where the incident occurred, and have them send someone to the scene immediately to verify the situation."

"Understood, Secretary, I'll take care of it right away."

Zhou Xiang's expression gradually turned serious. He had to put enormous pressure on the public security system. Some people were simply lawless and didn't respect the supervisory departments at all.

Immediately afterwards, he made a phone call to his assistant: "Notify the political and legal committees of each district to come over for a meeting at nine o'clock this morning."

"yes!"

……

Ba City Public Security Bureau Command Center.

Hong Zhan stood in front of the command platform with his hands behind his back.

Half a step behind him stood a circle of high-ranking police officers from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, all holding their breath and focusing their attention on the large electronic screen in front of them.

The officers in the command center have switched to wartime status in the shortest possible time.

They retrieved surveillance footage from the entire elevated road in the development zone, contacted drivers who passed by the scene at the time of the incident to request dashcam footage, and notified traffic management, fire, and emergency services to coordinate their efforts.

The elevated road monitoring system in Bashi has achieved a three-in-one system consisting of fixed sky-eye cameras, automatically patrolling eagle-eye drones, and a ground network sensing system buried under the road surface, enabling comprehensive monitoring without blind spots.

Soon, key footage captured by a fixed camera was retrieved and enlarged onto the main screen.

The image quality is clear, the angle is perfect, and everyone can see it clearly.

In the video, a black Maybach sedan is speeding in the middle lane, with a black SUV not far ahead.

The distance between the two vehicles is rapidly decreasing.

Suddenly, the Maybach accelerated sharply, veered to the side, and crashed solidly into the rear of the SUV from the side.

The SUV instantly lost control, its entire body launched out at an angle, and slammed into a matte black Passat that was driving normally.

The Passat was thrown out of control after the impact and then rear-ended a white sedan in front of it.

The white sedan was propelled forward by the enormous force, crashing into the car in front of it.

Fragments flew everywhere, and white smoke rose.

A series of impacts occurred within a few dozen seconds.

The command center was completely silent.

Hong Zhan remained expressionless and continued reading.

At this moment, due to the detection of a major traffic accident by the elevated monitoring system, the Eagle Eye drone patrolling the nearby airspace quickly flew to the accident site under the command of the command center and began high-altitude aerial photography.

The real-time aerial view is displayed side-by-side with the previously viewed fixed monitoring footage.

The Maybach stopped.

A tall man got out of the driver's seat, walked straight to the SUV, opened the door, pulled the driver out and threw him to the ground, then kicked him.

The movements were swift and powerful; the person being kicked flew through the air, almost skimming the ground.

A second man crawled out of the back seat of the SUV and tried to run away.

The Maybach driver caught up with him in a few steps, grabbed him by the back of his collar, slammed him to the ground, and then kicked him. The man flew several meters through the air, curled up, and crashed into the guardrail.

The two incredibly powerful kicks caused several police officers in the command center to involuntarily twitch at the corners of their eyes.

After doing all this, the man in the suit returned to the SUV, bent down and carried a woman who appeared to be unconscious out of the back seat, quickly walked back to the Maybach, put the woman in the back seat, and closed the door.

Then, he opened the driver's side door, preparing to get in and leave.

Just then, another man emerged from the wrecked Passat next to him and blocked his way.

The drone's camera quickly zoomed in, giving the man who had stopped the car a close-up of his face.

Hong Zhan's lips twitched.

He recognized him.

This is Secretary Lu's son, Lu Jingxiu.

Immediately afterwards, Hong Zhan's eyes widened suddenly.

Through the drone's high-definition footage, he could clearly see that Lu Jingxiu's face, forehead, and even neck were covered with large patches of half-dried dark red bloodstains, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were covered with dust and debris.

His movements were somewhat unsteady, clearly indicating that he was also injured.

Hong Zhan's heart skipped a beat.

He now fully understood why Secretary Lu had called him personally, and why he had asked him to take over the reins so emphatically.

Because the secretary's son was in that beat-up Volkswagen.

Damn it, if his daughter had been hit like that, he would have rushed to the scene himself by now.

As expected of the Party Secretary, he remains calm and composed even in this situation.

Oh, it seems the Party Secretary doesn't know his son was hit and injured like this.

He took a deep breath and continued reading.
