Chapter 343 Clearing Father's Name The guard solemnly said, "The police chief will personally explain the details to you."
He handed the encrypted communicator to Xia Zhining.
A steady, slightly hoarse voice came through the receiver; it was my old friend, Commander Song from the provincial department.
“Expert Xia,” Commander Song’s voice, clear and solemn, came through the electrical current.
"Regarding the situation of your father, Comrade Ji Yanqing, we need to keep you updated on the latest investigation progress."
"Police records from that year show that on his way home from get off work, he was hit by a dump truck that failed to brake in time while trying to save a little boy who suddenly rushed into traffic... and died on the spot."
Xia Zhining's fingers trembled as she held the receiver: "I know. Although my father was recognized for his heroic act afterward, he was not posthumously recognized as a martyr."
“Yes,” Commander Song said in a deep voice, “that is one of the reasons why we reopened the investigation.”
"The dump truck driver from back then has recently been apprehended and interrogated again after serving his sentence."
"Initially, he still insisted that the accident was caused by brake failure."
Xia Zhining caught up with Commander Song's tone: "So, is there some new discovery now?"
Commander Song: "This time, we used the latest criminal investigation technology to conduct a comprehensive review and analysis of the vehicle wreckage and accident scene data from that year."
"Technical reconstruction shows that, given the road conditions and vehicle speed at the time, even if the braking system had malfunctioned, the driver would have had ample time and space to take emergency evasive action or at least significantly reduce speed."
He changed the subject, his tone becoming serious: "The simulation results clearly show that the vehicle not only did not slow down before the incident, but maintained its original speed, and even showed signs of accelerating."
Xia Zhining's breath hitched: "So, the driver intentionally hit someone, it's murder!"
After Commander Song confirmed this, he continued, "In addition, during the background check on the little boy that Comrade Ji saved back then, we discovered that he suffered from a serious congenital disease and unfortunately passed away several years ago."
"His parents... moved away from the original site shortly after the accident and are currently missing; a search is underway."
It's good that there's any progress!
Xia Zhining gripped the communicator tightly and quickly asked, "Is there anything I can do to help with this survey?"
Commander Song's tone carried the reassuring tone of an elder: "Just leave this investigation to our police."
"There is an even more important task for you siblings."
Xia Zhining immediately perked up her ears, but Commander Song did not immediately reveal what the mission was.
Commander Song's expression turned serious: "The National Security Department has made a breakthrough in its investigation of Xia Annian."
“We suspect that your father, Comrade Ji Yanqing’s, sacrifice was not only related to the Xia family, but may also involve the transnational criminal group, Tailanjin, which is entrenched in the Sanbianpo area.”
"It's very likely a revenge killing by the Tyrankin criminal gang!"
"Sanbianpo? Vendetta?" Xia Zhining's brows furrowed suddenly.
She was familiar with the name.
"Sanbianpo" is not an official place name, but a no-man's-land near the southwestern border of China, which often causes trouble for China's borders and threatens the safety of citizens of neighboring countries.
Smuggling, trafficking contraband, human trafficking, fraud... the desperados there have long surpassed the scope of ordinary villains. They act ruthlessly and without any bottom line, truly the most vicious and wicked.
Commander Song continued, "We strongly suspect that your father's death was a deliberate act of revenge by Tailanjin."
