Nominal: Who isn't a son-in-law?

Baijiang.

Li Jiageng immediately relayed Chu Shijun's instructions to Zhao Zhi, Hu Daoheng, and others.

Li Dakang arrived in a hurry, his ears perked up. When he saw that his name wasn't called, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems this matter is now over.

He then hurriedly went back.

On the way, he was still thinking about what to do.

After all, Gu Wangbei and the others refused to speak no matter what. Even though the existing evidence was enough to prove some of their crimes, everyone knew that it wasn't enough.

How can we get them to talk? We can't just keep doing the same thing.

Even after the car arrived at the Zhencheng City Public Security Bureau, and Liu Zhenwen jogged over to open the car door, he still couldn't figure it out.

So he simply passed the problem on to the professionals.

After listening, Liu Zhenwen brainstormed for a while and then suggested, "Secretary Li, why don't you contact Secretary-General Ye?"

Yup!

Why don't I just ask the chief secretary? If the chief secretary doesn't know, I can just ask the boss!

Li Dakang immediately sent a message to Ye Wentao.

After a tense wait of a few minutes, a reply came: in principle, torture to extract confessions from prisoners is not permitted.

In the office, the two leaned over to look, then exchanged a glance.

They understood that it was not allowed in principle.

Why don't we just ignore principles?

Thinking of this, Liu Zhenwen recalled the self-criticism he had written and gritted his teeth, saying, "Secretary Li, I'll come in person this time."

"Will there be any problems?"

Li Dakang said worriedly.

"No, don't worry. Everyone in the bureau has checked thoroughly. The contract cleaners have all undergone strict inspections. This time, Xiao Wang and I will personally take charge."

Liu Zhenwen patted his chest and assured him.

After hesitating for three seconds, and remembering that he had also written a self-criticism, Li Dakang's eyes turned cold, and he nodded decisively, saying, "Okay, you do it yourself."

"receive!"

Liu Zhenwen took off his coat, revealing a white shirt underneath, tightened his belt, and shook his head, saying, "Xiao Wang, let's go."

Soon, the power went out in interrogation room number one again.

Gu Wangbei, who hadn't slept all night, was dozing off when he suddenly saw the interrogators, who had changed several times, leave and the lights went out. He was instantly jolted awake.

"What are you going to do? What are you going to do?"

"Bang"

In the darkness, the sound of a door slamming shut echoed.

"Splash"

Gu Wangbei felt as if a basin of icy water had been poured over him, and he immediately shivered.

I shouted for a long time, but no one answered.

"I'm going to sue you. You've violated my right to personal safety..."

"ah"

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Wangbei said intermittently, "Hiss, phew, I'm not afraid of being dampened, bring me another bucket if you dare!"

Wow, you're quite clever, knowing to use ice water to relieve pain.

Wang Hongqing got his wish, but then poured cold water on him again.

"Splash"

Happy times are always short-lived. In the afternoon, the people from the provincial department took Gu Wangbei back with them.

Fortunately, he finally managed to vomit something, giving Liu Zhenwen and the others an explanation.

At this time, Chu Shijun had already returned to Baijiang.

I just arrived at the Provincial Party Committee.

Liu Tonggu and Sima Shenhe then came to give a report.

As Chu Shijun took off his coat, he asked, "What is it?"

"Secretary Chu, the land in Tianhe has been returned to the Tianhe Municipal Government. That person just left, and it is said that his destination is Luzhou."

Chu Shijun paused, then calmly asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Before leaving, he met with Gu Wangbei. The content of the meeting has been recorded. Please take a look."

After Liu Tonggu finished speaking, Sima Shenhe handed him two pieces of paper.

After Chu Shijun finished reading, Liu Tonggu asked, "What do you think it is now?"

"That land is now locked up with Gu Wangbei alone."

Since Gu Yucai has taken the initiative to relinquish control, Chu Shijun will naturally give his elder face as he wishes, and the rest of the time will be spent in Lüzhou.

"Secretary Chu, I offer my deepest apologies to you regarding the widespread public opinion that occurred last night."

Sima Shenhe stepped forward, looking ashamed, and said, "It was my negligence in the ideological education of the public security personnel that caused a bad influence, and I feel deeply guilty."

"Let's make a note of this. If a similar situation occurs again, it won't be as simple as a verbal apology. What's the status of any follow-up investigations by the relevant personnel?"

"We've found the people inside; they're from the Zhencheng City Public Security Bureau. At the same time, I've also conducted a large-scale investigation into the Provincial Public Security Department and discovered thirteen people with problems, including two who retired within the last three years. They've been transferred to the Provincial Public Security Department's Discipline Inspection Commission Office for handling."

"As for the source of the matter, I was just about to report it to you."

Sima Shenhe opened the folder he was carrying. "After an all-night investigation, it has been determined that the foreign publication Mirror Weekly was the primary initiator of this matter, and that two Japanese individuals, named Sejimada Jingwei and Ma Yemei Xuehui, a man and a woman, were involved. Their IP addresses have been located in Hong Kong. The higher-level public security authorities have issued an arrest warrant, and the Hong Kong police station is currently taking action."

"In addition, according to Xu Sanxian's confession, the person who contacted him was a man named Liu Sheng, who owned a private club in Hong Kong called Wangbeilou, in which Gu Wangbei and Nie Mingyu both had shares."

"Regarding Liu Sheng, he is Gu Yucai's illegitimate son and Gu Wangbei's half-brother. This is the clue we currently have."

Chu Shijun narrowed his eyes. "Has an arrest warrant been issued for him?"

"No, considering he is, after all..."

"I said there are no exceptions," Chu Shijun raised his hand to interrupt him. "Given the connection to Gu Wangbei and Nie Mingyu, and considering the negative impact of this incident, there is every reason to arrest him."

"Then I'll make the arrangements right away."

Sima Shenhe quickly replied.

"It's too late, they've probably already escaped. Contact Comrade Tongwei directly."

Chu Shijun shook his head.

Contact Qi Tongwei?

Sima Shenhe was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.

That makes sense. The other party is currently the rotating chairman of the International Police Association. If they go abroad and start arresting people, Qi Tongwei's words carry more weight than theirs.

"Yes, Secretary Chu, I'll contact Vice Minister Qi immediately."

"Yes, let this be a lesson to be learned, and remember it."

Chu Shijun nodded slightly.

Just then, Sima Shenhe's phone rang. He took it out, looked up, and said, "Secretary, Gu Wangbei's wife, Zhao Xiaohui, has appeared in Jingzhou and has been arrested. She is on her way here."

"Okay, start the relevant procedures immediately."

……

The preparations on the Baijiang side are proceeding at a rapid pace.

Yangcheng.

Nie Dahai returned exhausted, both physically and mentally.

After handling some matters at the office, I returned home in the evening.

Nie Mingyu was already waiting in the living room.

He still maintained the demeanor of a refined businessman, showing no sign of panic on his face.

The unconscious rubbing of his fingertips on his knees betrayed his inner tension and unease.

He now knows that new evidence in the Gu Wangbei case has identified him, which is why Nie Dahai went to the meeting.

Upon seeing Nie Dahai enter, Nie Mingyu stood up and said calmly, "Dad."
