Chapter 391 Caught
"Alright! Stop crying! If you keep crying the nurse outside will call the police!"
Su Tong had no choice but to persuade him again.
The conversation between the grandfather and his two grandchildren finally helped Lao Lin to let go of his worries, and also made Su Tong and Su Yu understand the whole story.
Lao Lin was originally weak, and after crying so bitterly, he was mentally exhausted and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Su Tong and Su Yu were afraid of disturbing Lao Lin's sleep, so they gently closed the door of the ward and walked out, following the corridor to the corner of the stairs.
Su Yu asked, "Sister! Is this case almost over?"
Su Tong nodded and said, "If Master Peng is caught, it will be the end soon! Speaking of which, Master Peng is also a character, with brains, courage, and perseverance! He can fight for a goal for more than ten years! Even if there are no conditions, he can create them!
If this experiment wasn't too challenging and beyond his ability, he wouldn't have destroyed his own career in exchange for a place in the Academy of Sciences."
Su Yu also nodded and said, "Yes! No matter from which angle you look at it, this experiment of my uncle is too tempting!"
The brother and sister were talking in a low voice, when they saw a nurse hurried up the stairs.
Seeing the two of them, the nurse hurriedly said:
"Comrades Su, the hospital just received a call from the Public Security Bureau saying that Lin Jiao was arrested and her family members are needed to come over. Director Lin has already rushed over. Let me tell you something."
Lin Jiao was arrested?
Su Tong asked: "Excuse me, do you know where Lin Jiao was arrested?"
The nurse shook her head, "I don't know the details!"
"Okay! Thank you, we got it!"
After delivering the message, the nurse hurried away again.
Su Tong looked at Su Yu and said, "It seems that no one really helped her! Otherwise, she wouldn't have been caught so quickly!"
However, not long after, the nurse came again in a hurry. This time, she saw Su Tong from a distance and shouted:
"Comrade Su! Miss Su! There's a call for you!"
——————
The call was from Lin Li.
But it was Lin Li who called from Su's house.
"Su Tong! The boss asked me to pick you up and take you to the military area. Grandpa said you went to the hospital. You wait for me in the hospital. I'll pick you up right away!"
"Okay! I'll wait for you at the hospital entrance!" Su Tong replied.
Su Tong asked Su Yu to accompany Lao Lin, and she waited for Lin Li at the hospital entrance.
Lin Li looked a little tired, but he was very excited.
"Lin Jiao actually escaped to the Daguang Chemical Factory. She didn't expect that the factory had already been shut down. There was a whole platoon of criminals inside! They were caught red-handed! They have been handed over to the Dongcheng District Public Security Bureau. Now we have something to dig up!"
"Lin Jiao actually knew about the Daguang Chemical Factory? She is more involved in this case than I thought!"
Lin Li didn't care and shook his head.
"Not necessarily! She was so stupid! She ran to the gatekeeper with dishevelled hair and a dirty face to ask if Zhai Yuanzhi was there? The gatekeeper had long been replaced by someone from the military district, and he arrested her on the spot!"
Su Tong laughed. So this is how he was caught.
"It seems that she knows that Zhai Yuanzhi has been to Daguang Chemical Factory, but she doesn't necessarily know the underground secrets. This is good. With her around, we don't have to worry about not having evidence against Zhai Yuanzhi!"
"By the way! What's the situation at the Academy of Sciences?" Su Tong asked.
"I've been at the Daguang Chemical Factory, and I'm still not clear about the specific situation here! You don't know, there's much more evidence and information about that underground base than we thought! We've been cleaning it up for several days and it's still not finished!
I just got back to the military area this morning, and the boss asked me to pick you up! They are all too busy to come!"
Su Tong nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"However, the chemical plant that exploded in Xicheng District last night killed six people, and the impact was extremely bad. This morning, all the factories in the city were conducting self-inspections, and the Public Security Bureau and various police stations also went to various factories to assist in the investigation. Fortunately, the factory was idle and there were only a few people watching the warehouse, otherwise the losses would have been even greater!"
Su Tong didn't say anything.
I don’t know what to say.
This is Mr. Peng’s dying struggle.
He has many more lives on his hands...
Lin Li took Su Tong directly to Qin Yi's office.
Qin Yi is not here.
Su Tong sat down on the chair next to him and waited.
Not long after, Qin Yi pushed the door open and the first thing he said when he saw her was:
"Mr. Peng is dead!"
"Dead? When?"
Su Tong was very surprised.
"He took cyanide a second before we arrived."
Qin Yi picked up the teacup on the desk, drank it all in one gulp, then dragged the chair behind him and sat in front of Su Tong.
"Considering that the suspects would be in close contact with Lao Lin and Lao Qi and could easily become targets of threat, we installed radio receivers on Lao Lin and Lao Qi with their consent. When Zheng Xinguo found that the situation was not good, he immediately took Lao Lin hostage. Lao Qi and Wen Li were injured when they tried to rescue him.
Afterwards, we provided a vehicle as requested by Zheng Xinguo, let him and Lao Lin out of the encirclement, and gave up the pursuit on the surface. According to the signal from Lao Lin, we followed him two kilometers away.
Zheng Xinguo and Lao Lin fled to a small farmyard in the western suburbs. When we arrived, we immediately surrounded the yard. On the surface, the yard only had a few mud houses, but it was a different world after entering.
There is a very large basement, which is luxurious and grand, and has all the daily necessities you need... It can be seen that it is a "safe house" he prepared for himself.
However, when he heard us coming down, he had already prepared a highly toxic drug and swallowed it in front of us. In the few seconds when Zhao Xin pounced on him, he said, "How could I die in your hands?" Then he stopped breathing with a smile! "
Qin Yi let out a long breath, and then continued:
"Fortunately, there is a study room inside, which contains a lot of evidence of his smuggling over the years. There is even a list of names of people he has infiltrated into various departments of the agency over the years, including their names and the methods they used...
Lao Lin was locked in the upstairs room and was unconscious. I immediately had him sent to the hospital.
The people in the Academy of Sciences are still under control. Since last night, all telephone lines have been cut off from the outside world. There is no news of Peng Ye's death yet!
The chemical plant explosion last night was reported as an accident, and the municipal government informed the whole city, with the public security department assisting in self-inspection and investigation activities to try to reduce the public's suspicion and panic about the incident. If there are still explosives, they need to be found as soon as possible and where they are hidden..."
Su Tong kept listening until Qin Yi finished speaking, then she said softly:
"Mr. Peng has troubled us for so long, and finally he died..."
