Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 686 Suddenly
"You can leave now. I'll try to stall Director Li for a day, but that's the most I can do."

"Can't we just leave?"

"Of course you can. If you want to die, it's easy. Here, I have a fruit knife, it's quite sharp. You can slit your own throat."

"Brother, I'm not joking."

"Nonsense, who has time to joke with you? You're the one who's been joking with me, okay? Did a donkey kick your head? Why did you provoke Li Yancheng if you had nothing better to do?"

“I didn’t provoke him! I know perfectly well that in Director Li’s eyes I’m nothing, I can’t even get a word in edgewise, so how could I possibly provoke him?”

"Why are you here looking for me if I haven't done anything to you?"

"Uh...this...this...Big brother, I never expected those bastards to do something like that, making such a commotion."

"You know perfectly well that there are important events during this year's National Day holiday, so why don't you manage your people properly and instead cause trouble at this time? Do you think you've lived too long?"

"I told them right after the New Year to behave themselves and not cause any trouble, and to wait until the year is over before worrying about anything else. But I never expected that they would be so audacious as to steal a gun."

"You gave them the illusion that you can handle anything, which is why those guys dared to do whatever they wanted."

The man in his thirties was speechless after being told what the older brother had said.

It can only be said that the kind of "leader" you have will produce the kind of subordinates you have. It was his usual recklessness that made his four subordinates dare to do anything and completely disregard his instructions.

The problem now is that trouble has already been caused, and all four subordinates have been arrested.

Upon learning that the four men had been arrested, he immediately sent a message to them, telling them to hold their ground, to say what they should say, and not to utter a single word they shouldn't. He assured them that he would find a way to save their lives first, and then make further plans.

The "Four Great Kings" were well aware of the immense power of their "benefactor," so they readily admitted to the robbery and murder, but remained silent about other crimes.

The four of them were very cautious in their actions, especially when it involved their "benefactors." So even Zheng Yang's younger brother, Zheng Tian, ​​had no idea who that person was, let alone the other younger brothers who followed them.

But this "benefactor" understood very well that it was only a matter of time before the four guys were caught by the police and confessed. Even if they could withstand wave after wave of interrogation, under the watchful eye of Director Li of the Municipal Bureau, he had no way to protect them.

Moreover, those four guys caused such a commotion at such a crucial juncture, and after being arrested, they refused to confess to their past crimes. How could Director Li possibly let the case close with such problems? He would definitely issue an order to intensify the interrogation, or even personally take charge.

The "benefactor" knew that once Director Li couldn't wait to take matters into his own hands, he would immediately be exposed.

So, a day after the incident, he hurriedly went to find his "benefactor," hoping to find a way to survive.

But his "benefactor" told him that the only way to survive was to leave quickly.

where to go?
Of course, it's overseas.

For him, the only way to survive was to go abroad.

But how could he possibly be willing to abandon everything in China, leave his homeland like a stray dog, and go to a foreign country where he knew no one?

Seeing that he was keeping his head down and not saying anything, the man called "Big Brother" lit a cigarette for himself and then continued.

"Make a decision quickly, don't waste any more time. The initiative is now in the hands of that Director Li. He can come over to interrogate you whenever he wants. If you want to save your life, you only have two choices now."

Swish

Upon hearing his elder brother say there were two choices, the man immediately raised his head, a glimmer of hope shining in his eyes.

The man ignored the look on his face and continued, "Either leave, or... if you're so capable, shut those four guys up forever."

The man's breath hitched suddenly, and a bitter expression appeared on his face.

The idea was indeed a good one. If this case were handled by any branch office, he would have chosen the second option without hesitation. But now, the head of the municipal bureau's general team was personally leading a team to oversee the case, and the interrogators were all pre-trial investigators from the general team. How could he dare to make any other moves?

Moreover, it's not just one or two people who need to be silenced forever, but four. In other words, to ensure absolute success, it's best to act simultaneously. No matter how capable he is, he can't find so many reliable people.

"I'd better leave."

After hesitating for a moment, the man finally chose the first option.

"Should I call the civil aviation authorities to inquire about the nearest flights to Hong Kong Island?" Seeing that he had made his choice, the man asked without any hesitation.

"No need. Flying is unsafe. What if they find me while I'm in the air? I'll be trapped. I'll take the train south. I'm going to the train station now."

He was so quick to leave that he stood up as he spoke, clearly intending to depart immediately.

"Okay, now that you've made up your mind, go straight to the train station and buy a ticket for the next train that goes south. No matter where you're going, get out of here first, and then make your next plans."

Since you have money anyway, don't go back to pack your bags. Just buy it there. Once you get to the south, don't stay there. Use your Hong Kong identity to clear customs immediately.

Don't stay in Hong Kong Island for too long; you should know it's not safe there either.

"I understand, brother. I will contact you once I am safe abroad."

"Okay," the man nodded and stood up, extending his right hand at the same time.

Seeing this, the man reached out and shook it.

"Then I wish you a safe journey. Don't worry about your wife and children, I will keep them safe."

The man didn't speak, but forced a smile.

He already had the answer in his heart before he came here, but he was still unwilling to give up, so he made this trip. As for his wife and child, he had already sent them away before him.

Entrusting it to the person in front of me?
Haha, having known this person for years, how could I not know that he has a penchant for Mengde? Entrusting him with the task is like asking a cat to take care of the fish; I guarantee he'll take advantage of you the moment you turn your back.

"I'm leaving now, brother. Please take good care of yourself."

"Okay, go ahead, be careful on the road."

The man left, and the man didn't see him off. After hearing the footsteps outside gradually fade into the distance, he sighed deeply, turned, and walked to the window to look out. The weather is about to change again!

He was well aware that this case, which appeared to be a murder case stemming from a gun theft, had many hidden implications. Pulling up one radish would bring up another, and who knew how many more people would be implicated.

Director Li probably doesn't realize right now that he's making such a big fuss every time he changes positions.

Just as he thought of this, he shook his head again. It wasn't that Director Li wanted to cause trouble, but rather a bunch of clueless guys who offered themselves up.

He actually thought that Director Li was the most suitable person to go to the Supervisory Commission. With him in charge, let's see how many people would dare to do illegal and disorderly things.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face. He felt that he was really meddling in other people's business. How to arrange that person was a matter for the higher-ups to think about, and it was none of his business to speculate here.

……

Neither he nor the man who had just left knew that, without Director Li's intervention, the pre-trial investigators from the brigade had finally managed to pry open Zheng Yang's mouth after a long period of psychological warfare.

Actually, it's not that difficult. Zheng Yang and his brother have both been arrested. There are only two brothers in their family. One of them will definitely be punished, and although the other's crime doesn't seem to warrant the death penalty, he will still face a long prison sentence.

How could their parents accept this result? One wrong move and the elderly couple might both die. The only way now is for Zheng Yang to find a way to protect his brother. Of course, it's impossible for him to be innocent, but he can try his best to get his brother to perform meritorious service so that his sentence can be reduced and he can get out as soon as possible. In this way, the elderly couple can still have some hope.

After a long period of policy advocacy, Zheng Yang finally spoke up and made a condition: he wanted to meet his younger brother.

After discussion between Jin Zhihai and the leaders of Yangchao Branch, they agreed to his condition, but he only had five minutes and the officers had to be present.

The two brothers didn't say much when they met, but Zheng Yang told his younger brother to take good care of their parents after he got out of the city, and then told him everything he knew.

Just then, Li Yancheng and Deputy Director Cai arrived.

After reading Zheng Yang's statement, our Director Li was also at his wit's end. How come he always gets caught up in all sorts of messy things?

Meanwhile, Jiang Haitao, the director of the Yangchao branch, was filled with regret. He did want to make a contribution, but he never expected to get involved in this messy affair.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have stopped the brigade from asking for Zheng Tian yesterday; instead, he would have offered him up with both hands.

Just as Comrade Jiang was lost in thought, everyone else in the conference room turned their attention to Li Yancheng, waiting for his orders.

Deputy Director Cai felt a chill run down his spine for his superior. What seemed like a simple criminal case could actually involve so many complicated matters. If not handled properly, it could lead to... sigh!

"Why are you all looking at me like that? What should we do next? Let's go and catch the person Zheng Yang confessed about."

After putting down his notebook, Li Yancheng looked up and scanned the room, taking in the expressions on everyone's faces.

“I’ve already made the arrangements,” Kim Ji-hae replied.

“I reckon this guy has already escaped. Lao Cai, contact the bureau and have them prepare the materials. I’ll call the headquarters duty room later and issue a notice for assistance to all provinces, cities, railways, civil aviation, and border ports. We must stop this guy in the country.”

"Chief, isn't it a bit slow to prepare the materials now? Could you send out the guy's photo first? Let's arrest him first, and we can complete the other formalities later."

Old Cai offered his advice.

The person Zheng Yang revealed is crucial; if he escapes, the "network" behind him will be impossible to eradicate completely.

After a moment's thought, Li Yancheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll communicate with the headquarters duty room."

This is one of the advantages of him serving concurrently as a member of the headquarters leadership team. He can handle some urgent matters flexibly. Otherwise, if a nationwide notice for assistance in an investigation were to be issued, the procedures alone would take at least a day or two. If that were to happen, it would be too late.

With his intervention, the notice for assistance was issued quickly. Before the end of the workday that afternoon, the headquarters had already sent the notice and photos to the public security bureaus (departments) of various provinces and cities, as well as railway, civil aviation and various ports via fax.

The case has been taken over by the headquarters, and all those arrested have been transferred back to the headquarters.

That afternoon, after communicating with headquarters, Li Yancheng made an appointment with Director Duan from the city government to give a special report on the case.

The loss of firearms and ammunition was fully recovered, which relieved Director Duan's anxiety that had been building for more than two months since the gun theft. However, the subsequent reports from Li Yancheng about other cases stemming from the gun theft and the potential involvement of certain individuals caused the director to furrow his brow deeply.

After thinking for a long time, Director Duan opened his mouth and said eight words: "Investigate to the end and never tolerate it."

"Yes," Li Yancheng replied very solemnly.

Director Duan then added, "I'll call Director Che now, and your two units need to cooperate well from now on."

Director Che is the director of the Beijing Municipal Supervisory Commission. The Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau will need the cooperation of the Municipal Supervisory Commission to continue investigating the case.

"Old Che is free right now, he'll be here soon, and we can talk in detail when he gets here."

Director Duan paused here, his gaze towards Li Yancheng carrying an indescribable strangeness that made our Director Li feel uneasy all over.

Just as he was feeling uncomfortable being stared at and was about to say something, Director Duan spoke first.

"Comrade Yancheng, Lao Che will be retiring to the second line at the end of next year. Are you interested in leaving the public security system and coming to the supervisory committee to take over this mess for us?"

!!!

Director Duan's veiled meaning was rather abrupt, leaving Li Yancheng somewhat bewildered. It took him a while to realize what the leader meant.

This made his heart pound a few times.

If Li Yancheng succeeds in leaving the public security system to take a position in the Municipal Supervisory Commission, this move would be a huge leap forward for him.

While there may not be a qualitative change and their administrative ranks remain the same, his political status has definitely risen significantly, and the ceiling for his potential has been raised considerably, opening up more possibilities for him.

"breathe……"

Li Yancheng took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and said in a deep voice.
