The director wants to see me at this time?
What could it be?
"The suspect Zeng Qi has been transferred. We don't need to intervene in this matter anymore. The National Security Bureau has taken over."
When Xu Qiang returned to the police station, he suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Director Meng did not give him a chance to say more, but asked him to lead two guys in military uniforms to take over.
"What's going on?" Xu Qiang couldn't help but ask on the way to the hospital.
The two soldiers looked like an officer and a subordinate.
The person who answered Xu Qiang was a subordinate wearing glasses and carrying a briefcase.
Also a secretary.
"Our channels have verified some of the facts regarding the Zeng family father and son, and we need to verify them now. Thank you for your hard work over the past few days."
The secretary's words were pleasant to the ears. He neither leaked any secrets nor took the opportunity to praise the criminal police.
Frowning, Xu Qiang felt that the military personnel looked unreliable. They seemed to have said something, but in fact, they said nothing.
"So many people died, are you really not going to hold anyone accountable?" Xu Qiang said somewhat unconvinced.
"Haha, it's your duty to track down the real culprit; for us, national security is the most important thing." The speaker was a silver-haired middle-aged man with a military air and an easy-going face.
He looks like a guy with a high official position.
"I want to know whether the boy surnamed Zeng is guilty?" This is the question that Captain Xu Qiang is most concerned about.
"We have already understood the case. You are very concerned about his crimes. Tell me your doubts and I will tell you some of the things I can tell you." The silver-haired middle-aged man said generously.
"We have tracked down the helicopters of the United Empire Consulate. One of them was severely damaged and its behavior is very suspicious." Xu Qiang gave his suspicion.
"Anything else?"
"When we checked the consulate staff, they were missing some people and were very uncooperative. I have reason to suspect that among the 12 people who died, there were people from the consulate," Xu Qiang added.
"Well, you're right to be suspicious. Anything else?"
"An encrypted mobile phone was cracked. We read the recent call records and found that a guy named Liu Zheng in the country made multiple calls before the incident." Xu Qiang confessed everything.
"Good! You tracked it down very quickly." The silver-haired middle-aged man praised.
"We are applying for a search warrant for Liu Zheng." Captain Xu Qiang said truthfully.
"By the time you were searching for him, he would have already left the country. What I can tell you is that Liu Zheng is a spy. We noticed him a few years ago. He was planning to leave the country the day before yesterday, but we stopped him." The silver-haired middle-aged man confessed.
What?
Xu Qiang was shocked, but his eyes gradually became sharp.
If Liu Zheng is a spy and is colluding with those who participated in the kidnapping of Zeng Qi, there are serious issues here!
"Liu Zheng has already confessed. His superior asked him to cooperate with two foreigners to kidnap Zeng Qi. Through surveillance, we found that the identities of these two foreigners are retired special forces members of the United Empire." The silver-haired middle-aged man did not hide it.
Pinching his eyebrows, Xu Qiang felt his head stiffen. He finally understood why the National Security Bureau had to intervene.
This was simply beyond his ability to handle.
I can still show my skills in ordinary cases, but international spy kidnapping cases are not something I can get involved in.
No wonder that guy kept asking me to track down others. It turns out he already knew where the enemy came from.
I was so naive to think that he was disrespecting the police's ability to handle cases.
It turns out that I was wrong about him.
I can't blame myself entirely. The main reason is that the guy was too arrogant and abnormal. He didn't even pretend to be afraid after killing someone. He was a natural suspect in the eyes of the old detective.
He deserves to be beaten.
Hospital.
Xu Qiang and two soldiers came to Zeng Qi's ward.
What is rare is that all three of them came with fruits.
"Captain Xu, why are you here? You're here, but why are you bringing anything with you? That's too formal." The guarding police officer said in surprise.
"Go away... This is not for you. How are the people inside recovering?" Xu Qiang asked.
Not for us?
The armed police gathered around. Could it be that Captain Xu, who always seemed strong, was having an illusion and had so quickly bowed to the suspect in cowardice?
Seeing everyone's strange looks, Xu Qiang laughed and scolded, "This is a friend of the National Security Bureau. Zeng Qi will be handed over to them for handling."
After saying that, the secretary carrying the briefcase took out the transfer certificate and asked the suspicious police officer to review it for confirmation.
After checking the formalities and finding everything correct, the police officers were surprised. After working as criminal police for so many years, this was the first time they had handed a suspect over to the military.
"I'm sorry, I'm Zeng Qi's lawyer. What are you doing..." Lawyer Ma was like a gatekeeper. The appearance of the military left him confused.
"Your client has been acquitted, and we need to confirm something with him." The silver-haired middle-aged man said, handing out his business card.
Ministry of State Security, Guan Hongcai.
Why don’t you have an official position?
Normally, military ID cards have official title identification, but Guan Hongcai does not have one.
As if noticing Lawyer Ma's confusion, the secretary stepped forward and explained:
"Our job is to prevent, stop and crack down on sabotage activities that endanger national security and social stability in accordance with the law. As it involves confidential information, we do not disclose official positions to the public."
Lawyer Ma nodded and casually said, "Isn't it similar to the FBI?"
The secretary nodded, agreeing with what he said.
"We are mainly engaged in anti-infiltration, anti-secession, anti-subversion, anti-espionage, anti-leakage and anti-terrorism struggles. Zeng Qi's case is of a special nature and has involved many of these issues. We need his cooperation," Guan Hongcai said concisely.
"Wait a minute! I'll go in and talk to the client." Lawyer Ma's face was full of joy.
