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

How many officials have clean hands?

Even though Chen Luo wasn't targeting them, they were all sweating profusely, fearing that the Discipline Inspection Commission would take them away.

Only a dozen minutes had passed when some people started to get restless.

"Secretary Chen, can I use the restroom? I can't hold it in anymore."

The one who spoke was Ma Yunbo, deputy director of the Dongshan City Public Security Bureau, who was very clear that a transaction would take place in Tazhai Village that evening.

According to the cooperation agreement with Tazhai Village, he is required to remind Tazhai Village of any abnormalities on the day of the transaction.

But now...

The message simply won't send!

Chen Luo smiled, his eyes narrowing.

"No problem, here's what we'll do: have the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission take you to the restroom."

Chen Luo gave Tian Guofu a look, and Tian Guofu understood immediately. He personally called over several staff members from the Discipline Inspection Commission to take Ma Yunbo away from the meeting. However, their destination was not the restroom, but the interrogation room!

Walking down the corridor, Ma Yunbo felt a chill run through him.

"Secretary Tian, ​​is this the way to the restroom?"

Tian Guofu made no attempt to hide it.

"Of course not, Ma Yunbo. Our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is aware of your situation. If you honestly confess later, you might be able to redeem yourself. As the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, I don't need to say more about the consequences of your stubborn resistance."

"I don't understand, Secretary Tian! I don't understand what you're talking about!"

"Playing dumb?"

Tian Guofu shook his head, waved his hand, and signaled to the staff to gag him.

Time ticked by... Chen Luo remained calm and composed in the conference hall, while the cadres below were completely silent.

Everyone was sweating profusely. Mayor Chen Wenze, who was next to Chen Luo, waited for more than ten minutes but Ma Yunbo did not return from the toilet. His heart was in his throat!

At 11 p.m. sharp, buses drove from Jingzhou into Dongshan and headed straight for Tazhai Village.

Thousands of police officers, armed police, and military personnel rushed into Tazhai Village. Like sharp knives, they immediately began indiscriminately arresting all the villagers as soon as they got off the vehicles. Regardless of age or gender, they arrested everyone first, armed to the teeth, giving Tazhai Village no chance to react.

Lin Family Ancestral Hall.

Lin Yaodong was trembling all over. He had just ordered the villagers to prepare the "goods," but before they could even collect them, the police arrived. A huge crowd of police surrounded Tazhai Village, and a feeling of helplessness filled Lin Yaodong's heart.

Just then, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open.

Lin Yaodong instantly pointed the gun at the approaching person.

"It's you! Zonghui!"

The visitor was Lin Zonghui, the head of the third branch of the family.

Lin Zonghui was icy cold, his gaze fixed on the pistol in Lin Yaodong's hand.

"Even after all this, you still want to put up a stubborn resistance?"

"Did you betray Tazhai?!"

Lin Yaodong ignored him and instead questioned Lin Zonghui.

Lin Zonghui nodded, quite calmly.

"That's right, it was me who provided the drug production list, it was me who provided the evidence. Under your leadership, Tazhai has become increasingly dangerous over the years. It's time to cleanse Tazhai of its drugs!"

"You! Do you know that doing this will send half the families in our village to jail!"

Lin Yaodong gritted his teeth and fired a shot into Lin Zonghui's thigh.

Shot and falling to the ground, Lin Zonghui endured the excruciating pain and said, "It's because you knew about me that you reported me! Do you want the entire Tazhai Village to become involved in drugs and end up childless? How can we face our ancestors after we die?"

"you!"

Just as Lin Yaodong raised his pistol to finish off Lin Zonghui, a shot rang out, piercing his arm and sending the pistol crashing to the ground.

Dozens of police officers pushed open the gate and rushed in, taking Lin Yaodong into custody almost instantly.

Meanwhile, at the Dongshan City Wharf.

Hundreds of armed police officers were already in ambush, and they rushed out the moment a cargo ship docked!

Gunfire erupted continuously.

The arrest operation continued until 4 a.m., when it finally ended. The meeting concluded when staff informed Chen Luo of the news.

"Mayor Chen, please go with the Discipline Inspection Commission."

She calmly approached Chen Wenze, who knew he couldn't escape. Chen Wenze stretched out his hands, and the staff quickly handcuffed him.

The arrest operation went very smoothly.

The next morning, Chen Luo and Tian Guofu returned to Jingzhou, leaving the remaining cleanup work to the Dongshan Municipal Party Committee Secretary and Qi Tongwei, who remained in Dongshan.

After returning to Jingzhou and resting for a day, Chen Luo went back to Lüzhou to take charge of the work.

And in Dongshan.

After two days of interrogation, the massive drug trafficking ring centered on Tazhai Village was finally brought to light. On the day of the arrest, nearly three tons of methamphetamine, 600 million yuan in drug money, 77 factories, 14 handguns, 20 rifles, and a quantity of ammunition were seized.

In the interrogation room, Qi Tongwei personally interrogated Lin Yaodong.

"Lin Yaodong, now the evidence is clear and unambiguous. I'm asking you now, were all the buyers overseas?"

Lin Yaodong smiled upon hearing this. He had personally contacted all the sellers, and only he knew who the goods were supplied to.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's an honor that a village head like me can be personally interrogated by the provincial public security chief!"

Qi Tongwei frowned.

"Are you unwilling to tell me, or do you simply not know?"

"I neither know nor want to say!"

Qi Tongwei gave Lin Yaodong a deep look before slowly saying, "I won't ask about the buyer, but we now know that the guns in your village were supplied by the buyer. Even if you don't tell me, I have plenty of ways to make you talk!"

"Then let's give it a try!"

Qi Tongwei left without saying another word.

After leaving the municipal bureau, Qi Tongwei led more than a dozen provincial bureau staff back to the hotel to rest.

Night gradually fell.

The hotel where Qi Tongwei and the provincial department staff stayed was an inconspicuous hotel. The entire hotel was booked by the provincial department. Around 2 a.m., a row of vans stopped in front of the hotel, and then more than a dozen people got out of the vans, each of them masked and carrying guns!

They rushed into the hotel, and the hotel receptionist was so frightened by what she saw that she squatted on the ground and trembled uncontrollably.

Just then, a police car pulled up outside the hotel.

Five or six police officers came down; they were responsible for interrogating the others and had returned a little late.

As soon as I pushed open the hotel door, I was face-to-face with more than a dozen masked thugs.

Bang! A gunshot rang out!

Chapter 133 Shot Three Times, Critically Wounded and on the Verge of Death

The moment the gun went off, the police officer who had just entered the room instinctively lunged to the side, but he was no match for the bullet.

As blood gushed from his thigh, pain swept through the police officer's entire body.

The other police officers had already drawn their pistols the moment they heard the gunshot; there were three pistols in total, six officers.

Police cars were used to block the hotel entrance, and the information was immediately reported to the Dongshan City Public Security Bureau.

"We've been exposed! That Public Security Bureau Chief is still at the hotel. Even if we die, it's not a loss if we drag him down with us!"

After the leader of the thugs finished speaking, the group's anxious hearts finally calmed down a bit. They hadn't planned to leave alive after carrying out this mission.

A dozen or so rioters rushed upstairs, while the remaining rioters stayed in the lobby, taking the hotel receptionist hostage and blocking the main entrance.

In the room, the instant the gunshot rang out, Qi Tongwei sprang up from the bed.

His gaze fell on a box in the corner of the room.

Without hesitation, he quickly opened the box, inside which was a sniper rifle.

The sniper rifle was originally kept in the trunk of his car, but when the car broke down and needed repairs during the raid on Tazhai Village the night before last, Qi Tongwei took the sniper rifle back to his hotel room.

He quickly loaded the bullets and opened the door. The other police officers living on this floor had already been awakened. They didn't have guns with them; they could only take them on missions and had to hand them over afterward. So, they were all stunned to see the sniper rifle in their director's hand.

Just then, a series of footsteps echoed down the stairwell. Qi Tongwei quickly signaled everyone to retreat back to their rooms and escape through the windows, while he himself set up his gun and aimed it at the stairwell.

The moment the first thug appeared in Qi Tongwei's sight, Qi Tongwei, without hesitation, shot him in the head. The other thugs immediately suppressed him with fire, forcing Qi Tongwei to turn sideways and return to his room.

A fierce battle was taking place in the stairwell, and police cars downstairs were sirens blaring. At the same time, after receiving the news, the director of the Dongshan City Public Security Bureau personally led a team of hundreds of armed police officers to the hotel. At the same time, the armed police and military district also mobilized.

Gunfire continued in the stairwell, and Qi Tongwei had no chance to expose himself until the gunfire grew closer. Only then did Qi Tongwei expose his hands to protect himself and fire blindly into the stairwell!

The shot was lucky; it hit a thug directly in the chest, causing him to fall to the ground, covered in blood.

Thus, the situation remained deadlocked. Every few moments, Qi Tongwei would quickly extend his gun and fire, whether he hit or not depended on luck. However, the corridor was narrow, and there were always unlucky people who would be hit.

In just a few minutes, Qi Tongwei emptied two magazines, a total of fourteen bullets, leaving only two loose bullets. Qi Tongwei was prepared to die.

And what about the thugs? They lost seven or eight men before even capturing Qi Tongwei. Some of them, though not fatally wounded, were incapacitated for a short period.

Seeing that this was not a solution, the leader of the rioters went downstairs and brought the hotel receptionist up.

He stood in front of the hotel receptionist and shouted at Qi Tongwei.

"Director Qi, I'm giving you ten seconds. If you don't come out, I'll shoot this hotel receptionist dead!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei was stunned. He looked at the bullet in his hand, smiled bitterly, cocked the gun, and then walked out of the room with his gun raised. In an instant, he aimed at the leader of the thugs and saw the result of his blind firing.

Seven or eight fell to the ground, not a loss!

Thinking this way, Qi Tongwei actually relaxed.

"Who are you? Do you know this is a terrorist attack?!"

Qi Tongwei spoke up, while the leader of the thugs opposite him gave a disdainful smile.

He then raised his gun to shoot Qi Tongwei, but Qi Tongwei was faster. The moment the other man raised his hand, Qi Tongwei fired two shots, emptying all his bullets and taking the two thugs away.
