We must keep Du Qian calm now. It seems we still need to lift the surveillance order from the Party Affairs Investigation Department. Once this matter has faded, we'll slowly find an opportunity to get rid of him!
With that thought in mind, Ning Zhiheng no longer hesitated. He picked up the phone and called Wang Shucheng, who soon knocked on the door and came in.
"Captain, what's the matter?" Wang Shucheng glanced at Du Qian standing to the side, then asked Ning Zhiheng.
Ning Zhiheng pointed at Du Qian and instructed, "This is Du Qian, the chief of the Xicheng Police Bureau. The people from the Party Affairs Investigation Department are currently monitoring him. The police department is under the jurisdiction of our Military Intelligence Department, and they have overstepped their bounds."
Now, you take the First Action Team and, as Du Qian instructed, arrest all the people from the Party Affairs Investigation Department who are monitoring him, detain them on the spot, and await my orders!
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Wang Shucheng immediately responded and was about to go out to gather his team members. He always carried out Ning Zhiheng's orders without question, even if the other party was from the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department. Besides, the people from the Military Intelligence Investigation Department had never had a good impression of the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department.
"Wait, try not to fire any shots, don't kill anyone. Make it a pretext to arrest a suspect, and I'll handle the rest! Do you understand?" Ning Zhiheng explained carefully.
"Yes, arrest the suspects, detain them on the spot, and await further instructions!" Wang Shucheng confirmed the order again!
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, and Wang Shucheng turned and left. Du Qian was overjoyed when he saw Ning Zhiheng get the money and immediately arranged for someone to lift the surveillance from the Party Affairs Investigation Department.
Team Leader Ning received the money without any discount and immediately got to work. He's a truly conscientious person. This time, he really came to the right place and found the right person!
He bowed deeply to Ning Zhiheng, then turned and went out to follow Wang Shucheng.
In a spacious office of the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department, Wen Hao, the leader of Intelligence Group Three, was talking with his deputy, Luo Qing!
"How's your investigation going?" Wen Hao asked. He had been investigating a case involving Lu Guangran, the deceased head of the Second Section of the Ministry of Finance's National Defense Department, for some time, but there had been no progress. Later, a more important case came up, forcing him to stop the investigation.
His deputy, Luo Qing, was in charge of the case of Wu Quanjiang, the owner of Zhongkang Chinese Medicine Store. This was a briefing between the two of them!
“There’s been no progress. We’ve investigated all of Wu Quanjiang’s previous social connections, but we haven’t found anything of value. We’ve spent a lot of effort arranging surveillance, but we still haven’t gotten anything out of them. Most of them are business partners who have no idea about Wu Quanjiang’s identity!” Luo Qing shook his head and said.
"Team leader, let's just put this case on hold and investigate it again if we find any leads later!"
He felt that the case was hopeless and there was no clear objective, so he wanted to propose ending the investigation. The Party Affairs Investigation Department had a lot of work to do and shouldn't spend so many resources on this unsolved case.
“But I heard that your men are still on the move, are they still monitoring the target? I’m short-handed for this case right now, and we can’t spare any more people. Let’s bring them back!” Wen Hao said with a frown. Luo Qing was quite diligent, but sometimes he couldn’t distinguish between what was important and what was urgent.
"There is another goal, but I'm not very confident about it. It would be a bit of a pity to give up like this!" Luo Qing said with some difficulty.
"Tell me the situation!" Wen Hao said.
“We investigated Wu Quanjiang’s social connections and found that, apart from business partners, he had frequent contact with Du Qian, the chief of the Xicheng Police Station,” Luo Qing recounted.
"He's a Chinese medicine shop owner and he has a connection with a police chief. Has that been investigated?" Wen Hao asked suspiciously.
"We've already investigated. There are two checkpoints on the main roads leading out of the city in Du Qian's jurisdiction, so many merchants in Nanjing have to go through his connections to smuggle goods. We suspect that Wu Quanjiang used Du Qian to transport some prohibited and illegal drugs out of the city!" Luo Qing said.
"Smuggling? What's the nature of it? Are they accomplices or collusion between officials and businessmen?" Wen Hao asked.
Luo Qing scratched his head, and said somewhat uncertainly, "My personal judgment is that it is very likely a case of collusion between officials and businessmen, and it is unlikely that they are accomplices of the underground party!"
However, it cannot be confirmed, so he is still under surveillance. Because he is the police chief, Du Qian, who is under the jurisdiction of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, there are some concerns.
"Team leader, you know the current situation of our Party Affairs Investigation Department. If this were a few years ago, we would have arrested this nobody on the spot, instead of going through all this trouble!"
