"Boss!"
The two henchmen quickly ran over.
Xu Jiang ordered, "Go, get that crazy donkey over here right now. It's been so long, is that good-for-nothing Gao Qiqiang stalling for time? Tell him to bring Gao Qiqiang's sister over here. I want to see who's really in a hurry!"
The next morning, Tang Xiaolong brought one of his underlings to turn himself in.
The two insisted that they had drunk too much and accidentally bumped into the police car, and fled out of fear.
As for the police guns, they didn't know.
Li Xiang was in charge of the interrogation. No matter how many times he questioned them, the two seemed to have rehearsed their statements, repeating the same story over and over again. If he pressed them further, they would refuse to speak.
The case of assaulting a police officer was a breakthrough point. Meng Dehai, An Changlin, and Captain Cao Chuang from the branch office were all watching from outside.
When Li Xiang came out, Meng Dehai shook his head and said, "It seems these two had planned this beforehand to confess. Hmph, there's no point in interrogating them any further. Where's An Xinren?"
“He went to Mang Village, saying he was going to investigate Tang Ping.”
"Tang Ping, who is Tang Ping?"
Meng Dehai asked in confusion.
Li Xiang answered honestly, "It's the one that runs an internet cafe on Jiuchang Street. They recently opened a soap factory, the one advertised. It seems to be selling quite well."
"What is the connection between Tang Ping and Xu Jiang's case? Why are we investigating him?" An Changlin asked.
"It wouldn't have been a problem originally, but Anxin..."
Li Xiang briefly recounted what happened between An Xin and Tang Ping at Fenglin Yayuan.
Upon hearing this, Meng Dehai flew into a rage, saying, "This is utter nonsense! The criminal investigation team is in dire need of manpower, yet he's not keeping an eye on Xu Jiang, but instead going to investigate some insignificant person. As a police officer, if he can't even distinguish between public and private matters, he doesn't deserve to wear this uniform! Call him right now and tell him to come back."
An Changlin, standing nearby, advised, "That's enough, don't get so angry. This child is stubborn; once he's made up his mind, there's no way to persuade him. By the way, what's wrong with your daughter? Is she really cutting ties with this boy?"
"Is this a place to discuss private matters? I think you're about to become like him!"
Meng Dehai glanced at him and left.
An Changlin was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "That old Meng!"
Both leaders were furious because of An Xin. Captain Cao Chuang, however, was quite pragmatic and quickly called An Xin to ask him to come back.
Just as Li Xiang was about to leave, he saw Gao Qiqiang in the lobby, seemingly looking for someone.
Li Xiang walked over and casually asked, "Gao Qiqiang? Oh, you're looking for An Xin, right? He's not in the team."
Although Tang Ping told Gao Qiqiang to find Li Xiang, Gao Qiqiang still wanted to give this great credit to An Xin out of personal feelings.
Unfortunately, after wandering around for a while, he didn't see An Xin, but instead ran into Li Xiang.
Perhaps this is fate!
Gao Qiqiang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Officer Li, I'm here to see you. Can we talk privately?"
"Sure."
Li Xiang nodded and led Gao Qiqiang into the corridor of the criminal investigation team, saying, "Just tell me what's wrong here. What's wrong? Have you run into some difficulties?"
"No, someone gave me a note, Officer Li, take a look." Gao Qiqiang handed over a note.
The sign reads: Guo Zhen, National Highway 104, Xiping County, Dafa Auto Repair Shop.
Li Xiang glanced at it and immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Guo Zhen? Bai Jiangbo's driver?"
"I don't know, I'm just thinking this might be helpful for you in solving the case."
"This is incredibly useful! Gao Qiqiang, you've done a great job this time. Thank you in advance, we'll talk more after we catch the person!"
Li Xiang said something and then ran upstairs to the Criminal Investigation Team building: "Director Meng, Master, we've made a major discovery!"
After handing over the note, Gao Qiqiang walked out of the branch office and immediately called Xu Jiang: "Hello, it's me!"
"Gao Qiqiang, what the hell are you doing? I've already released Tang Xiaohu, where is he? Did you kill Chen Shuting? Do you want your whole family to be buried with my son?" Xu Jiang started cursing directly.
Gao Qiqiang said angrily, "Xu Jiang, watch your mouth!"
Xu Jiang sneered, "Heh, getting anxious already? Looks like you're still scared. Let me warn you, don't think you're safe just because I released Tang Xiaohu. In Jinghai, I can arrest all three of you without fail. I can release Tang Xiaohu, and I can arrest you all too. Hurry up and tell me, is everything settled?"
Gao Qiqiang tried to calm himself down and said, "I've said it before, I won't commit murder. I didn't kill Chen Shuting, but I found Bai Jiangbo's driver, Guo Zhen. You should send someone to silence him as soon as possible, then you'll be fine."
"Alright, you've got some ideas, but you changed your plans without telling me beforehand? Are you mute? I'll settle this score with you later!"
After Xu Jiang finished speaking, he hung up the phone and called Mad Donkey, who was going to arrest Gao Qilan, and told him to immediately take his men to kill Guo Zhen to silence him.
Meanwhile, in the criminal investigation team, upon learning of the important witness Guo Zhen, the branch immediately convened an emergency meeting.
In the conference room, An Changlin said, "We can't determine whether this intelligence is accurate or not. Moreover, what is the purpose of the person who passed on the information? Do they want to use our police force to help them eliminate the enemy?"
“Yes, I also think there’s something wrong with this,” Cao Chuang said, blinking.
Meng Dehai slammed his fist on the table and said firmly, “I don’t care who they are or what their purpose is. In short, finding Guo Zhen will prove that Xu Jiang committed murder and buried the body. This is irrefutable evidence. Guo Zhen is the key. I think we don’t need to discuss anything else. The most urgent thing is for us to act immediately and bring Guo Zhen back first.”
"Li Xiang!"
Meng Dehai shouted, about to appoint his generals.
Bang!
Suddenly, the conference room door was pushed open, and An Xin rushed in, excitedly saying, "Guo Zhen? You found out about Guo Zhen? He's Bai Jiangbo's driver. If we catch him, we'll definitely have evidence to arrest Xu Jiang! Director Meng, Director An!"
Meng Dehai, his face cold, reprimanded, "Where did you go? At this critical moment, you abandoned your post to investigate people unrelated to the case. What are you trying to do? An Xin, I am extremely disappointed in you!"
"Look at Li Xiang, he's the one who brought back the intelligence this time. And look at you. You keep saying you want to arrest Xu Jiang, but you're nowhere to be seen when it comes to the case. Get in line!"
On the other side, An Changlin quickly said, "Okay, I suggest that Guo Zhen be arrested, with An Xin and Li Xiang leading the team, and Zhang Biao continuing to lead the team to keep an eye on Chen Shuting's movements. Also, the police force at Qiangsheng Xiaolingtong can be withdrawn, and we should prepare to monitor Xu Jiang to prevent him from escaping. Tang Xiaolong has already surrendered, and the two Gao brothers have been cleared of suspicion. The case of assaulting a police officer can be closed."
