More and more people are putting pressure on the police department, both online and in real life.
The police station was in complete chaos.
The city's economy began to grind to a halt because Lu Fan held shares in many of the companies.
Under Jiang Manyue's organization, many companies jointly wrote a letter and submitted it to the police station.
The police chief's office.
"What should we do now? Didn't I already say that this person is not someone we can touch?"
The bureau chief looked at the deputy bureau chief with a bitter expression.
"Now that things have come to this, what's the use of saying all this? It was the two of us who nodded in agreement before the subordinates went to arrest him. Now we should be thinking about how to get rid of this big shot."
Hearing the director's complaints, the deputy director impatiently yelled at the director.
The deputy director disliked the director for his sycophantic behavior, and yet he was assigned to work under him.
This time, the arrest of Lu Fan was also initiated by the bureau chief himself.
He had already anticipated this situation and wanted to get rid of this useless bureau chief.
When I become the director, I will definitely carry out sweeping reforms and clean up all the malpractices and corruption in the police station.
"Just have Captain Yang release them directly, and that will be fine."
The bureau chief remained silent in the face of the deputy bureau chief's outburst.
I sat in the chair and thought about it, but in the end I still couldn't come up with a good plan.
The only option left was the simplest and most direct one. After explaining his plan to the deputy director, he was about to call the criminal investigation team.
"Have you lost your mind? You detained people without any evidence, and now you've released them for no apparent reason. Are you trying to give those reporters fodder for their stories?"
The deputy director saw the director making a phone call, quickly ran over and hung up, then looked at the foolish director in front of him and asked him a question.
"Then come up with a solution, let me hear it!"
The bureau chief looked at the deputy bureau chief in front of him and held back everything he had just said.
Unexpectedly, things have gotten a bit out of hand, so he retorted to the deputy director.
"Director."
Just as the two were about to draw their swords, Captain Yang of the Criminal Investigation Team rushed in in a panic.
As soon as Captain Yang entered, he saw that the director and deputy director seemed to be arguing, and he was about to back out.
"return."
Seeing Captain Yang about to leave, the bureau chief quickly called him back.
The deputy director stopped arguing with the director and sat down on the sofa.
"The mayor's secretary is calling now, asking if Lu Fan really has a problem. If not, release him immediately."
Upon hearing the bureau chief call him back, he quickly returned, closed the door, and reported to the bureau chief.
"Why didn't the bureau chief call me when he inquired about the case?"
After listening to Captain Yang finish speaking, the bureau chief picked up the landline phone with a puzzled look, and after confirming that it was not turned off, he said with a puzzled expression.
"Isn't that simple? The mayor must be in a real bind. Lu Fan now owns shares in most of the companies in the city, and for some reason, the media has stopped criticizing him this time. There's no more of the usual condemnation in the newspapers."
The deputy director guessed something and said to the director.
"You mean all of this was planned by Lu Fan all along, and all we have to do is handcuff him, and half the city will be paralyzed?"
Just thinking about these things made the director's back feel cold.
"Now we only have two choices."
Although the deputy director disliked the director, the current situation was not what he had initially wanted.
The initiative is no longer in their hands, and they might suffer the consequences.
I am destined to die along with this idiot bureau chief.
"Speak quickly!"
When the director and Captain Yang heard that the deputy director had an idea, smiles appeared on their faces, and they said anxiously to the deputy director.
"First, we need to release him; second, we need to confirm that Lu Fan is the murderer in this case."
Seeing the curious expressions on their faces, the deputy director shared his idea.
"Are you sure he's the murderer, Captain Yang?"
The director carefully considered the idea that the deputy director had just suggested.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Captain Yang, who was also deep in thought, and asked.
"Based on the current evidence, it cannot be determined that it was homicide, so we unanimously believe that the nature of this case is suicide."
Captain Yang lowered his head and gave the answer that his criminal investigation team had come up with.
Release them.
Seeing that there was no other way, the bureau chief gritted his teeth and gave an order to Captain Yang.
"What will public opinion be like then?"
Captain Yang knew perfectly well; if he could release the man, he would have done so long ago.
The problem now is public opinion, which is why Lu Fan hasn't left yet.
Seeing that the director was about to let Lu Fan go, Captain Yang asked worriedly.
“I am the chief, and my word is law. Since Lu Fan is not the murderer and the victim committed suicide, do we police officers think we can distort the truth for the sake of our own honor?”
Hearing Captain Yang's question, the bureau chief's face immediately turned cold, and he gave Captain Yang an order.
When the police chief first became a police officer, he had no concerns whatsoever.
Right is right, and wrong is wrong. As you rise higher in rank, and eventually become a bureau chief, you have to consider more and more things.
Now there's only the facade of a police force, but no real substance.
"Eh..."
Seeing that the director had made up his mind, the deputy director sighed and said nothing.
"Yes, I'll go right now."
Captain Yang didn't dare to stop and hurriedly left the office.
"Don't worry, Lu Fan will be released soon."
Lu Xi looked at Jiang Manyue, who was still worried about Lu Fan, and comforted her.
"If she doesn't come back tonight, I'll have to call her."
She was still anxiously waiting for Lu Fan to come out and call her.
Looking at his phone, he had already made up his mind. If Lu Fan still hadn't come out, he would have no choice but to ask Zhu Qi for help.
It was Zhu Qi's help last time that led to their quick release.
This wasn't my first choice, and I didn't want to owe Zhu Qi a favor, so I wouldn't contact her unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Alright, sign this statement later, and you can leave."
Sun Dahai received a call from his captain, Captain Yang, who explicitly ordered him to release the man.
Sun Dahai was also quite helpless. He was just a lowly deputy captain and had no choice but to shoulder the burden himself.
After finishing the phone call, he went into the interrogation room, took the transcript from Xiao Du, and handed it to Lu Fan.
"What? You let me go again?"
Looking at the transcript in front of him, Lu Fan calmly flipped through it.
Then he placed it on the table and asked.
