Chapter 419
County Magistrate Zhao sat in the spacious and solemn office, his brow furrowed, and he smoked one expensive "Huazi" cigarette after another anxiously.
In the smoke, his fingers trembled as he eagerly dialed the crucial phone number again and again. Time passed by, and each beep as he waited for the call to be connected seemed like a merciless beating against his heart.
Finally, at around eight o'clock in the evening, when the night was dark and the city lights were bright, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
County Magistrate Zhao quickly straightened up, a flattering smile on his face, and said cautiously, "Old leader, hello, hello..."
However, the old leader simply replied in a cold tone: "I'm aware of the matter. Please wait patiently for the results."
Although there were only a few words, they were like the sound of nature to County Magistrate Zhao.
His heart, which had been hanging in the air, instantly fell back into his stomach, and he was so excited that he almost cried out.
At this time, County Magistrate Zhao was overjoyed, because as long as he could successfully rescue his imprisoned brother, the huge wealth that the two brothers had accumulated over the years would be enough for them to live the rest of their lives in peace and comfort, even if they had to live a life of hiding their identities and fleeing.
......
At the same time, not far away, at exactly 8:10, Bengang City Mayor Sun Yiguo was sitting upright in his luxurious office chair.
Suddenly, the clear ring of the phone broke the silence in the room. Sun Yiguo quickly picked up the phone and replied respectfully, "Hello, Uncle Liu!"
The person who called was none other than the influential figure in Beijing. This "Uncle Liu" was also a member of the Sun family faction and had watched Sun Yiguo grow up since he was a child.
After the other party briefly explained the situation, Sun Yiguo assured him without hesitation, "Don't worry, Uncle Liu. Bengang City is our territory. I'll take care of this little matter. I can definitely handle it for you!"
After hanging up the phone, he called Public Security Bureau Chief Li Mingyu without hesitation.
However, when the call was connected, what came from the other end was Li Mingyu's voice full of helplessness and entanglement.
Li Mingyu seemed to be in a dilemma on the phone. "Mayor, this matter is not simple! Secretary Wentao personally ordered it, and he directed the new Deputy Director Li Mingyang to carry it out! And now everyone is firmly under Deputy Director Li's control. Even if I say something, I'm afraid it won't make much difference..."
On one side is the mayor, and on the other side is the municipal party secretary. How will Li Mingyu choose?
But in fact, he was more inclined to Wentao's side. The implication of his words was very clear, that is, he hoped Sun Yiguo could go to Secretary Wentao to negotiate a solution.
After all, it is difficult for him, a small police chief, to intervene in the disputes between people of their level.
Sun Yiguo on the other end of the phone became furious after hearing what Li Mingyu said.
Veins popped out on his forehead, and a nameless fire surged up.
There was a loud "bang" and Sun Yiguo slammed the phone in his hand onto the desk, causing the documents on the desk to scatter all over the floor.
"It's Wentao again!" Sun Yiguo roared with gritted teeth, his fists clenched tightly, and the joints had turned slightly white due to excessive force.
Sun Yiguo knew that this matter could not be made public and he could not "impeach" Wen Tao at the Standing Committee meeting like other work. However, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission was suspended, and the Public Security Bureau Chief was "suspected" of not obeying his orders. He was also controlled by people transferred by Wen Tao. It would be difficult to handle this matter properly.
......
Bengang City Armed Police Squadron Headquarters.
If nothing unexpected happens, then it is very likely that an accident will happen soon.
As expected, at this critical moment, the armed police squadron suddenly experienced a power outage without any warning!
To make matters worse, the VCR didn’t even have a backup battery, which really made matters worse!
However, despite such difficulties, the interrogation work would definitely not come to a standstill, right?
After all, justice must be served!
Zhao Qing and his so-called "people" had already been "taken care of" by their comrades many times.
No one could bear the pressure and started to speak. Now there was all the evidence, both human and material.
But only Zhao Qing gritted his teeth from beginning to end and refused to utter a word.
This guy is like a cooked duck - only his mouth is still hard!
He was unwilling to believe that the old leader of Pingjing City would really abandon him this time.
You know, the older generation has always valued friendship the most!
Thinking back to that time, my old man used his body to block the fatal bullet for the old leader on the battlefield where the war was raging.
As the saying goes, a life for a life, isn’t this favor heavy enough?
So no matter what, he firmly believed that his old leader would definitely help him.
In this way, for the past few nights, Zhao Qing was always immersed in beautiful dreams and couldn't extricate himself.
On one occasion, he even dreamed that his own brother led a huge "large army" to rush in here and successfully rescued him from this cold and ruthless cage.
Li Mingyang and others who had always been against him were severely tortured by him and his men for three days and three nights to vent his hatred.
Unfortunately, when he woke up from this absurd dream, he found himself still trapped in this cold cell, surrounded by the same cold walls and iron bars...
What was unexpected and gratifying was that among the many people related to the Zhao brothers, a lackey named Jia Dashu became the key breakthrough in solving the case.
Jia Dashu has long served as the Zhao brothers' "trusted lackey" and knows a lot about their affairs.
Now, in order to gain an opportunity to redeem himself for his crime, Jia Dashu revealed a crucial secret to the police without hesitation: it turned out that in the cellar of Zhao Qing's house, there was an astonishing amount of wealth and a crucial account book. According to him, the cellar was not only filled with bundles of cash, roughly estimated to be as much as 600 million yuan;
There are also heavy gold bricks shining with golden light, weighing about 50 kilograms in total.
The most crucial thing was the mysterious account book, which contained densely packed evidence of the Zhao brothers' bribery and accumulating wealth! And most of the evidence was recorded by Jia Dashu himself.
After hearing the news, Li Mingyang acted decisively and quickly dispatched personnel to Zhao Qing's home in Jinghua Village to investigate and collect evidence.
After a busy and intense excavation and search, the police indeed found the valuables in the cellar as Jia Dashu described - mountains of cash and dazzling gold.
Of course, there is also the "account book" that is enough to scare many officials in Anqiu County.
