When Sun Jiacheng arrested Pei Wenyao, it did cause quite a commotion. The group of men stormed into the Nanjing Police Headquarters office and took away Pei Wenyao, the head of the administrative section. The news reached the ears of Deputy Director Han Xingping almost immediately.
Han Xingping, who was in his office, was pacing back and forth restlessly. Since this morning, unexpected events had been occurring one after another. First, the Xicheng Police Station reported that Chief Du Qian had been murdered in his own home.
At the time, this news made Han Xingping happy. Du Qian was originally one of his men, but half a month ago, when Du Qian asked him for help because the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department had its eye on him, Han Xingping simply turned him away, and the two became enemies!
To be honest, he couldn't blame himself; he could only blame his bad luck! In the officialdom of the Republic of China, there were two departments that were absolutely not to be messed with: the Central Party Affairs Investigation Bureau and the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau.
These two are top-notch intelligence agencies, the leader's two henchmen! They have the privilege of arresting first and interrogating later, and anyone who is targeted by them never has a good ending.
As the deputy director of the Nanjing Police Bureau, he was hardly a figure in Nanjing, a city teeming with powerful and influential people. Was he out of his mind to go against the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department for the sake of Du Qian?
Unexpectedly, Du Qian, who was already in dire straits, managed to escape by clinging to Ning Zhiheng, the head of the action group of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. Ning Zhiheng, however, was even more ruthless and intervened forcefully, ultimately forcing the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department to withdraw from the investigation.
Du Qian thus escaped and took the opportunity to become Ning Zhiheng's disciple. In recent days, he has been making a big fuss about it everywhere, spreading the word that everyone knows his new master is a powerful figure in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.
These past few days, the gloating looks people gave him behind his back have really infuriated Han Xingping!
The loss of face is secondary; the main problem is the significant financial loss!
Du Qian controlled two crucial transportation checkpoints, and 30% of the profits were to be given to Han Xingping. Now, needless to say, this large source of income has been lost, which is heartbreaking for Han Xingping!
Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and sent his capable subordinate Pei Wenyao to negotiate with Du Qian, trying to coerce and entice him to try and win back some of the share. However, he didn't expect that Du Qian was now extremely tough and gave Pei Wenyao a good scolding, forcing him to leave.
Han Xingping was furious and embarrassed, but he dared not offend the person behind him, so he could only swallow his anger.
Unexpectedly, just two days later, Du Qian was murdered at home, much to Han Xingping's delight and schadenfreude.
But his joy was short-lived. He suddenly realized that if Du Qian was killed, Ning Zhiheng behind him would not let it go. If he investigated everywhere, would he find his way back to him?
It's common knowledge that you and Du Qian have a falling out. If you can find the murderer, that's fine, but if you can't, you might not be able to escape responsibility for this!
Just as he was feeling anxious and hesitant, he received a report from his subordinates that Pei Wenyao, the head of the administrative section, had been taken away from his office by people from the Military Intelligence Investigation Department!
The leading officer claimed that Pei Wenyao was suspected of murdering Du Qian, the chief of the Xicheng Police Station, and that the Military Intelligence Investigation Department wanted to take him back to assist in the investigation. This news made Han Xingping even more terrified and uneasy.
The matter is already quite clear. Ning Zhiheng has turned his attention to him. Pei Wenyao is in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department's jail. What kind of confession can't be obtained? As long as Pei Wenyao identifies Han Xingping as the mastermind, then the next person to be taken away will be Han Xingping, the deputy director of the police headquarters!
Having a premonition of impending doom, Han Xingping was now as terrified as an ant on a hot pan. He absolutely could not wait for the military intelligence investigation team to come to his door. Once he was arrested and cut off from all communication, he would have no ability to call for help and would only be waiting to die! He had to save himself in time!
He didn't dare to waste a moment and grabbed the phone on his desk to make a call.
"Director, this is Xingping!"
The person on the other end of the phone was naturally his backer, Wen Shao, the deputy director of the police department. Han Xingping was Wen Shao's old subordinate. Over the years, Wen Shao had been Han Xingping's protector. He owed his current position entirely to the support of his old superior, and now he was placing all his hopes on Wen Shao.
After listening to Han Xingping's account on the phone, Wen Shao remained silent for a long time. Just as Han Xingping was feeling uneasy and extremely anxious, Wen Shao spoke up: "Leave your office immediately, and don't go home! Come to me as quickly as possible! We'll discuss it after you get here!"
Han Xingping felt like he had been granted a pardon upon hearing this. Fortunately, Deputy Director Wen was much more discerning in his conduct and did not turn him away as well. Otherwise, Han Xingping would have been helpless and waiting for his doom!
He didn't dare to waste a moment, and rushed out of the office, telling his driver to hurry up and drive to the police station, arriving at Wen Shao's office as quickly as possible.
Upon knocking and entering, I saw Wen Shao talking on the phone.
"Old Zhao, we've known each other for so many years, couldn't you at least give me a heads-up before doing anything? You just showed up at my door to arrest me, catching me completely off guard!" Wen Shao said with a hint of helplessness.
"Hehe, I really didn't know anything about this. But Ning Zhiheng always does things with discretion. Besides, he's just a minor section chief. It's fine if he's arrested. What, does this person have anything to do with you?" The person on the other end of the phone was Zhao Ziliang, the head of the action section of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.
