In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong

Meanwhile, the Guangming District Public Security Bureau.

The technical staff were also urged to complete the analysis, which was finished in about half an hour.

The video shows no signs of being digitally manipulated.

Meanwhile, the girl appearing in the video was also identified using big data facial recognition technology.

Just then, Chen Luo's car arrived at the Guangming District Public Security Bureau. Liu Mingyu opened the car door for Chen Luo, and after getting out, Chen Luo went straight into the bureau.

Upon entering the service hall, Chen Luo glanced around.

"Hello, Secretary Chen!"

The police officers saluted Chen Luo upon seeing him. They had studied Chen Luo's meeting minutes more than once, so it was not surprising that they recognized him.

Where is your bureau chief?

"Secretary Chen, our bureau chief is in the technical section!"

"Take me there."

"Yes, Secretary Chen!"

Two minutes later, in front of the technical department, the police officer who had led the way hurriedly pushed open the door. Cheng Du, who was inside investigating the situation, turned around upon hearing the sound. When he saw that it was Chen Luo, his smile almost blossomed into a flower shape.

"Secretary Chen, you arrived so quickly!"

Seeing the extent of the salute, Chen Luo smiled and nodded. "Have the technical analysis results come out yet?"

"It's out! Secretary Chen, the video shows no signs of being manipulated. There are currently twenty-three victims in the video alone, and their identities have been confirmed through big data facial recognition technology."

Six of them are from Beijing, and the others are from various provinces, including two from our Handong area!

Upon hearing "twenty-three people," Chen Luo's smile vanished, and his expression turned serious.

“He really is a devil, Comrade Chengdu. Your branch office should go and find the two people with household registration in Handong right now and make sure the evidence is solid.”

Chen Luo had barely finished speaking when Cheng Du's phone rang, creating an awkward moment...

"I'm sorry, Secretary Chen..."

"It's okay, work is important, you answer the phone first."

With a heavy heart, Cheng Du had no choice but to take out his phone. He picked it up and saw that it was an unknown number, which made him frown.

"Hello, this is Cheng Du, the director of the Guangming District Public Security Bureau. May I ask what you need me for?"

This is his work phone number; most people wouldn't call him if they had nothing better to do.

"Hello, is this Comrade Cheng Du? This is Qin Siyuan!"

Didn't I instruct your Guangming branch to release him? Why hasn't Jiang Ning left the branch yet? Comrade Cheng Du, explain this to me!

Hearing this, Cheng Du was a little worried, but then he remembered that Secretary Chen was standing right next to him, so what was there to be afraid of!

“Secretary Qin! Jiangning is currently involved in other illegal and criminal activities. You are indeed the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong, but you absolutely cannot protect criminals like this. I am just a small district public security bureau chief, but I will never allow anyone to challenge the authority of the law!”

These words completely baffled Qin Siyuan. Why did the other party suddenly become like a troublemaker?

When Chen Luo heard that it was Qin Siyuan who was calling Cheng Du, he was stunned. What was going on?

"Comrade Chengdu, was that Secretary Qin from the Political and Legal Affairs Commission calling?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Du put down his phone and nodded emphatically.

"Secretary Chen, it was Secretary Qin who called. He asked our branch to release Jiang Ning."

"Uh... give me the phone."

Chen Luo reached out his hand. Cheng Du originally wanted to say a few more words to show his integrity and unyielding spirit, but seeing this, he could only hand the phone to Chen Luo.

"Hello, Comrade Siyuan, it's me."

Hearing Chen Luo's voice, Qin Siyuan was even more dumbfounded.

"Secretary Chen?"

"Comrade Siyuan, are you aware of the criminal activities that Jiang Ning is suspected of committing?"

"Secretary Chen, I know a little bit, but this only allows me to detain him for a few days. It's better not to alert him..."

"Wait, what do you mean by only detaining for a few days?"

"The charge of 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble' only warrants a few days of detention, Secretary Chen. Are there any other circumstances?"

Yes! And it's very serious!

"what!?"

Qin Siyuan felt a little confused, but soon Chen Ge explained to him the possible illegal and criminal activities that Jiang Ning might be involved in.

"Secretary Chen, are you saying that Jiangning may be involved in multiple rape cases?"

"Yes, therefore this person must not be released!"

"We won't let him go! We'll make sure he rots in jail!"

Chen Luo rolled his eyes.

"Comrade Siyuan, don't let your personal emotions affect your work. It's hard to say whether you'll end up in jail for life. Sentencing is the court's business. What we need to do is ensure judicial fairness!"

"Yes, yes, Secretary Chen, your words are insightful! So... is there anything I can do to assist you with?"

"No, not yet. Let's hang up now. I'll follow up on Jiang Ning's matter with the provincial party committee. After all, he's Minister Jiang's son."

"Okay, Secretary Chen, then I won't bother you any longer."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo returned it to Cheng Du.

"Comrade Chengdu, you've done a good job. You've been in the position of district branch director for several years now. Once the Jiangning case is over, I'll personally call Comrade Haifeng. Grassroots cadres like you who are not afraid of powerful figures should be boldly promoted!"

However, you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, work diligently, and, more importantly, uphold your principles and bottom line. Do you understand what I mean?

Chapter 357 Evidence Locked, Storm Approaching

Du Cheng is capable at work, but he also has some minor flaws.

Chen Luo was willing to give him a chance; whether he could seize it depended on his own choice.

"Secretary Chen, thank you. Please rest assured that I will examine myself, correct all my past mistakes, serve the people wholeheartedly, resolutely uphold the fairness and justice of the law, and safeguard the interests of the people!"

"Okay, I hope you can put your words into practice."

By the way, where are my two little ones?

"Secretary Chen, it's in my office. I'll take you there!"

Three minutes later, in the director's office, Cheng Du gently opened the door, and Chen Luo immediately saw Chen Zhengxi sitting in a chair, holding a milk tea and watching a video on his computer with a happy smile.

"dad?!"

Chen Zhengxi was the first to see it. He quietly put the milk tea in his hand on the table, then jumped off the chair, ran over to Chen Luo's side, and put his arms around Chen Luo's waist.

Faced with the little girl's coquettishness and the presence of outsiders, Chen Luo maintained a smile, rubbed the little girl's head, and then looked at Chen Zhengshu, who was reading a book.

"Secretary Chen, thank you for your trouble."

Leng Feng approached Chen Luo with some apology, knowing how important and busy Chen Luo's work was.

"It's nothing, Comrade Leng Feng. It's me, as your father, who should be thanking you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Zhengxi ran over to Qin Wanwan and started introducing her to her.

"Dad, this is Sister Wanwan, we're friends."

It was only then that Chen Luo noticed Qin Wanwan. Looking her over, he realized she was indeed very beautiful, but her features bore a resemblance to Qin Siyuan.

"Secretary Chen, hello, I am Qin Wanwan, and my father is Qin Siyuan."

"Oh? You're Comrade Siyuan's daughter? No wonder we look somewhat alike. So Jiang Ning came here specifically for you?"

"Yes, Secretary Chen, I'm so sorry to have caused you and Handong trouble."

"It's alright, no need to apologize."

"Jung-soo, Jung-hee, stop standing there and let's go. The officers at the branch office still have work to do. I'll take you home first."

The group left the branch office. The two little ones followed Chen Luo into the car, while Qin Wanwan rode in the same car as Leng Feng.

Chen Luo had left, but the work was not over; it was just the beginning. The locations of the two girls with Han Dong household registration were locked down just one hour later.

Currently, one person is in Jinghai, and the other is in Jingzhou.

The police officers from the Guangming branch split into two groups.

Cheng Du personally went to Jinghai and brought the two girls, who were registered residents of Handong, to the branch office that very evening.

Inside the room, Cheng Du was sitting next to a female police officer who was taking notes, while opposite him was one of the girls on the video.

"Nie Qingxue, let me introduce myself first. I am Cheng Du, the director of the Guangming District Public Security Bureau of Jingzhou City, Handong Province."

"Our police brought you here from Jinghai overnight. Do you know why?"

The girl opposite shook her head.

"I don't know..."

Do you know Jiang Ning?

Upon hearing those two words, the girl's pupils dilated instantly, and her expression turned terrified.

"No...no...I don't know him!"

Seeing this, I sighed, not out of disappointment, but out of heartache. How scared must the other person have been to not dare to tell the truth?

"Nie Qingxue, relax."

Jiang Ning is currently being held at our district branch. He has videos of you on his phone, and I know what you're afraid of.

You're worried he'll retaliate against you, after all, he has a father who's a ministerial-level official.

But I want to tell you, don't be afraid!

Boldly reveal the truth; this case is currently receiving high attention from the Provincial Party Committee.

Just a few hours ago, Chen Luo, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee of Handong, left our branch and asked us to act in accordance with laws and regulations and to seek truth from facts.
