The next morning.
Under Dong Xuebing's instructions, Yu Meixia made a call to report the case. Because her husband's murder happened in the outskirts of the County, and Jin Di Mansion is located there, Yu Meixia called the City's Police Station first. But as expected, the Station refused to take up the case. After that, Yu Meixia called the County's Public Security Bureau. Because Yu Meixia called the County's Family Quarters' phone, the Station might recognize her number. The Station immediately recorded the situation and reported it to the higher-ups.
"Alright. I am going to work." Dong Xuebing grabbed his handbag.
Yu Meixia immediately passes Dong Xuebing his shoes. "Do you think I should continue to call the Station today?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Yes. Continue to call the Station. If they want you to record the situation, just go over and tell them the truth."
Yu Meixia nodded. With Chief Dong backing her, she had more courage. She had been holding back her hatred for her husband for a long time, and now, she finally saw a glimmer of hope. How could she not be excited? But she is also worried. "Chief Dong, if … if this matter blows up, I am afraid I will cause you trouble."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I want this matter to blow up. Just do as I say."
Yu Meixia looked at Dong Xuebing gratefully. "Thank you."
County's Public Security Bureau.
In the morning, Dong Xuebing went to his office to look through the case files. Under normal circumstances, ordinary cases will not attract much attention, even if it is a major case. For example, the Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary, Trade Union Chairman, and other leaders who are not in charge of investigations will not know about it. But Yu Meixia's case had attracted everyone's attention. Everyone knows Chief Dong had hired a helper named Yu Meixia, and the call to report the case is made through the family quarters' phone. This is a sensitive issue, and it's hard not to suspect Chief Dong is the one who made the call. That means the person who made the call is the Public Security Bureau's Deputy Chief. Within two hours, everyone in the County's Public Security Bureau heard about this.
Chief Dong wants to touch Jin Di Mansion?
Many people who know about this matter took in a deep breath!
In Dong Xuebing's office, the phone on Dong Xuebing's desk rang. It's the Office Director, Hu Silian!
Hu Silian is a good person and has a good relationship with the leaders in the County Bureau. She had been close to Chief Dong for the past two months. When she heard Chief Dong's helper had reported the murder case, she immediately called Dong Xuebing. "Chief Dong, we cannot touch Jin Di Mansion."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Why?"
Hu Silian explained. "Chief Liang had not been able to negotiate with them in the past. There are too many things involved."
"Sister Hu, thank you for reminding me. I know what to do."
Just as he hung up, ring, ring, ring, ring. His phone rang again.
This time, it was Deputy Chief Qin Yong who called. He forced a smile and said, "Bro, what are you doing? Jin Di Mansion … Sigh. " After Dong Xuebing was transferred to the County Bureau, he had shown his political skills and ability to solve cases. Qin Yong does not want anything to happen to Dong Xuebing. "The Criminal Investigation Department is under Hu Yiguo, and the City's Police Station is under Wan Tao. You … you cannot interfere. I think we should wait for Chief Liang to make a move first."
Dong Xuebing understood what Qin Yong meant by waiting for Chief Liang's backing to make a move. But Chief Liang's faction had failed at Jin Di Mansion previously, and it's almost impossible for them to attack Jin Di Mansion again. Even if there is such a day, Dong Xuebing does not know when it will happen. That's why Dong Xuebing wants to make a move first and see if any County Party Committee leaders are willing to help.
The third person who called was Hui Tian Village Station Chief Liu Dahai. He also said the same thing to Dong Xuebing.
The fourth person who called was someone Dong Xuebing did not expect. It was Hu Yiguo.
Hu Yiguo said. "Chief Dong, I heard your helper had reported the murder case? I had found out about the case six months ago. It was a suicide, and the case is closed. Why are you still reporting it? The Bureau will not investigate this case as it is a waste of manpower. "
Dong Xuebing sneered. "My helper reported the murder case? What happened? How come I don't know about this? "
Hu Yiguo replied coldly. "It's fine if you don't know. Just do your job as a helper. She calls me every hour. Ah? She still calls the City? The case is closed, and the body is cremated. Why is she still making a fuss? This is a harassment call. Does she want to be detained? " Hu Yiguo's attitude confirmed Dong Xuebing's guess. This guy is really related to Jin Di Mansion.
Dong Xuebing did not back down. "Chief Hu, what you said is not right. If there is a case, we must investigate it. We cannot ignore it just because it had been closed once. What if the autopsy results are wrong? Who can guarantee that there are no mistakes in the previous cases? If we don't even investigate it, we will be irresponsible to the people. How can we detain them? Are you threatening the people? "
Hu Yiguo's face changed. "That's all! If your helper continues to make a fuss! Don't blame me for not giving you face! "
Dong Xuebing laughed. "You don't need to give me face. If my helper had committed any crimes, you can arrest her. This is a law-abiding society. Even the relatives of leaders who had committed crimes will be punished by the law!" Dong Xuebing does not believe Hu Yiguo dares to arrest Yu Meixia. Jin Di Mansion's case is sensitive, and Hu Yiguo does not want to blow up the matter. If he really arrested Yu Meixia, it will be too obvious.
Finally, at around 10.30 am, Dong Xuebing received the call he had been waiting for.
It was Liang Chengpeng, who had returned from Beijing. "Chief Dong, come to my office."
Dong Xuebing nodded and walked upstairs. He knocked on the door and entered the Bureau Chief's office.
"Chief Liang, how is your grandmother?"
"She suddenly had a fever after you left, and Director Qin organized a team of specialists to check on her. She is fine now, and my wife is accompanying her at 305 Hospital. She should be discharged in a few days." Liang Chengpeng was flipping through a stack of documents when he saw Dong Xuebing. He gestured for Dong Xuebing to sit down and walked over to the water dispenser to pour a cup of water for Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing does not dare to let Liang Chengpeng pour a cup of water. He quickly walks over to him. "No need. Chief Liang, let me do it myself."
Liang Chengpeng was polite to Dong Xuebing because of Dong Xuebing's background. He had witnessed Chief Dong's power in Beijing, but it was also because Dong Xuebing had saved Liang Chengpeng's mother. Liang Chengpeng owed Dong Xuebing a favor.
Dong Xuebing poured the cup of water for himself and sat on the chair.
Liang Chengpeng looked at Dong Xuebing. "I heard you are going to touch Jin Di Mansion? That place is not simple. "
Dong Xuebing nodded. "I know. But no matter what, it cannot be compared to a human life. That is a murder case, and it is also related to gambling and other criminal cases. Although this case is still under investigation, more than one person had reported to me about Jin Di Mansion. This is a law-abiding society, and no one can do whatever they want just because they have a strong background. If we don't investigate murder cases, what other cases can we investigate? We don't investigate those with strong background? Then what's the use of our Public Security? "
Liang Chengpeng smiled helplessly. He is impressed by Chief Dong's eloquence. In the past, no matter what Chief Dong says, he will always be able to justify himself. "… Do you have evidence?" Liang Chengpeng asked. Liang Chengpeng smiled.
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. "Not yet. But there will be evidence if we investigate further."
Liang Chengpeng glanced at Dong Xuebing. "How do you want to investigate?"
"Find an excuse to seal Jin Di Mansion first, and then we can start slowly. Hmmm … Gambling, prostitution, etc."
Liang Chengpeng shook his head. "If it is so simple, I would have investigated Jin Di Mansion long ago. Prostitution? You can't even do that. Gambling? I had brought my men to Jin Di Mansion twice, but we did not find anything. We only found a few poker cards and dice. This method will not work. "
Dong Xuebing frowned. "There are spies in the Public Security Bureau, and someone will inform them. I will bring my men there, and we will surely be able to catch them." Hu Yiguo must be close to the Publicity Department Head, Qian Shen's son. With a leader like Hu Yiguo in the Public Security Bureau, it will be impossible to catch them.
Liang Chengpeng waved his hand. "It's not as simple as you think. Jin Di Mansion is more powerful than you think. Xiao Dong, let's put this aside for now. It's not time yet." Liang Chengpeng also wants to take down Jin Di Mansion. But as the Public Security Bureau Chief, he is not a member of the County's Party Committee. Once it involves the higher-ups, Liang Chengpeng can't do anything.
Dong Xuebing said. "Chief Liang, this is a human life. How can we treat this lightly?"
Liang Chengpeng sighed. "Let's put it aside. We still have time." Liang Chengpeng knows Jin Di Mansion's influence very well, and he is doing this for Dong Xuebing's sake.
Dong Xuebing firmly replied. "I have my reservations."
Liang Chengpeng smiled helplessly and did not say anything.
Even if Chief Liang does not agree, the people behind him will not step in. Dong Xuebing was prepared for this. But even so, he did not give up on taking down Jin Di Mansion. Firstly, it's for Yu Meixia, and secondly, it's for that human life. If the culprit cannot be found, it's fine. But now, the culprit might be someone from Jin Di Mansion, and the Police did not even investigate. They are even helping Jin Di Mansion to get away with this!
Damn!
No one is helping? So what if no one is helping?
I don't believe this is the case! I will find out who the culprit is by myself!
Dong Xuebing immediately called Yu Meixia. "Sister Yu, continue to cause trouble!" Dong Xuebing needs a breakthrough. He needs the other party's weakness!
During lunch, Dong Xuebing noticed everyone was looking at him with a surprised look.
That's right. Many people in the County Bureau knew about what happened, and they are impressed by Chief Dong. This new Deputy Bureau Chief is really capable. He had just arrived and offended Hu Yiguo a few days ago. After that, he went against the Education Ministry's Chief Yu Zhengzhi and all the leaders in the Finance Department. Now, Chief Dong wants to go against Jin Di Mansion and the forces behind it? Damn! You're too much of a troublemaker!
Dong Xuebing had been under pressure from all sides, but he had decided to seek justice for Yu Meixia. He does not mind the pressure.
After work, Dong Xuebing walked out of the Bureau and towards the quarters.
Suddenly, a Buick Regal stopped in front of Dong Xuebing. The car door opened, and a man in his thirties alighted from the backseat. This man is very fair, and his face, hands, and neck look like a woman. "Chief Dong, nice to meet you." The man greeted Dong Xuebing and extended his hand to shake Dong Xuebing's hand.
Dong Xuebing shook his hand. "You are?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Qian Fei, and Qian Sen is my father." Qian Fei said and looked at Dong Xuebing's expression.
Dong Xuebing was surprised. Publicity Department Head's son? Jin Di Mansion's boss? I did not look for you all, and you all came looking for me. Dong Xuebing pretended to be surprised. "Oh, you are Minister Qian's son. Sorry for not recognizing you. Are you … waiting for someone?"
Qian Fei laughed. "I am waiting for you."
Dong Xuebing asked. "Oh? Why are you looking for me? "
Qian Fei looked at Dong Xuebing and thought to himself. Why are you acting like this? But he smiled and replied. "Nothing much. I just want to treat you to dinner. Let's talk over dinner?"
Dong Xuebing did not give him any face. "Oh, it's fine. I still have something to attend to."
Qian Fei's lips twitched and said patiently. "Chief Dong, just accept my invitation. It will not take up too much of your time."
Dong Xuebing knew what Qian Fei was trying to do. He was trying to give him gifts and money to stop him from investigating the murder case. He was also trying to get Dong Xuebing to do something dirty. This kind of scum even dares to kill people. What else does he not dare to do? That's why Dong Xuebing will not attend dinner. "Xiao Qian, if you have something to say, just say it here."
Xiao Qian? How dare you call me Xiao Qian? Qian Fei looked at Dong Xuebing's eyes for a few seconds and nodded. "Fine. Another day!" He turned and walked away.
Dong Xuebing did not even look at him and continued walking towards the quarters.
In the Buick Regal, Qian Fei stared at Dong Xuebing's back view coldly. "I tried to give him face, and he is just a small bureau chief. Too many people overestimate themselves. If I don't teach him a lesson, he will think he is someone important. Dong Xuebing, you asked for it. Hmph! Drive back to Jin Di Mansion!" After the driver stepped on the accelerator, Qian Fei took out his phone and made a few calls.
… …
The next morning.
Dong Xuebing woke up early and sat in the living room before 6 am to drink tea.
Creak … … The mother and daughter's bedroom door opened, and Yu Meixia, who was wearing a negligee, walked out. She seems to be going to the bathroom but noticed someone was in the living room. She got a fright. "Dong … Chief Dong, you are awake so early?"
"Yes. I can't sleep."
"Please wait for a while. I will prepare breakfast for you now."
Yu Meixia blushed and tried to pull down her negligee. But when she tried to pull down her negligee, it was too short, and her cleavage was exposed. Yu Meixia quickly covered her chest and rushed into the bathroom. After a while, she ran back to her bedroom to change.
Dong Xuebing smiled as he looked at Yu Meixia. If Yu Meixia did not have a grown-up daughter, Dong Xuebing would not believe Yu Meixia is in her thirties. She looks young and does not have any wrinkles. Also, Yu Meixia is too shy, conservative, and cowardly. She is like a high school student.
After a while, Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian came out of the living room.
Yu Meixia said gently. "Please wait for a while. I will go to the small supermarket on the east side to buy 1 KG of eggs. There are no eggs left at home."
Dong Xuebing is not hungry and nodded.
Yu Meixia took out a basket from the kitchen and filled Dong Xuebing's teacup with tea before leaving.
After the door closes, Yu Qianqian sat beside Dong Xuebing. "Big Brother, my father … he …" She is also worried about her father's case.
"Don't worry. I will settle it." Dong Xuebing patted Yu Meixia's head.
Yu Qianqian nodded. "Thank you, Big Brother. You are so nice to me and my mother."
Dong Xuebing blushed. Indeed, he had treated them too well. He had to admit that not only does he pity them, but he also has a good impression of them. Of course, having a good impression is just a polite way of saying it. In fact, it means he has feelings for them. Dong Xuebing cursed at himself. You hooligan! Stop having dirty thoughts!
Twenty minutes passed.
Yu Qianqian asked curiously. "Why is Mum not back yet?"
Dong Xuebing did not mind. "Maybe the supermarket is not open yet."
Another twenty minutes passed.
"Big Brother, can you give my mother a call?" Yu Qianqian is panicking.
Dong Xuebing is also puzzled. But when he called, he heard Yu Meixia's phone ringing. Yu Meixia did not bring her phone with her. It's been almost an hour. Why is she not back yet? Where did she go to buy eggs? Dong Xuebing helped Yu Qianqian up. "Your mother should have gone to the supermarket in the north to buy eggs. You should go to school first. I will go there to look for your mother."
After sending Yu Qianqian to the quarters, Dong Xuebing went to the nearby markets and supermarkets.
But after searching for more than an hour, Yu Meixia is nowhere to be found!
Dong Xuebing's heart skipped a beat.
Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang. Dong Xuebing answered, and it was Hu Silian's voice.
"Chief Dong, is your helper at home?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "I am looking for her. She had gone out to buy eggs for two hours, and she is not back. Why are you asking her?"
Hu Silian took a deep breath. "It's her. I had just received a report that a pretty woman from a village was brought into a van by a few men in an alley not far from our quarters. Although the license plate is different, it is similar to the vehicle used in the past few abductions of women and children in Yan Tai County. We suspect they are from the same gang."
Abduction of women and children?
Yu Meixia was abducted?
Dong Xuebing's anger flared up!
