The 110 Police Reception Center reported the situation to Director Tan Mufeng as soon as they received the call from the enthusiastic people.
When Tan Mufeng learned that there was a fire, he was shocked. He took more than a dozen police officers and took four large SUVs out of the Public Security Bureau's gate. However, it was rush hour, and the streets were congested. Even the Chief's car was stuck in the tide of traffic and couldn't move an inch.
At this time, the secretary in front received a phone call and said to Tan Mufeng, "Director Tan, Secretary Song's secretary called to urge us to get to the scene immediately."
Tan Mufeng was very anxious when he heard this. He looked out of the rear window of the Lanzeku Luze and glanced at the traffic in front of him. He found that there was already a few hundred meters of traffic jam. It would take at least half an hour to get through the bustling area of the city center!
Tan Mufeng opened the door of the SUV, got out of the car and said, "Get out of the car, run forward …"
Tan Mufeng was also anxious. He had only been in office for a few months, and there was such a big safety accident in Jiangnan City. Some time ago, it was a murder case, which had not been solved yet. Now, there was a major fire, and it was unknown how many people were killed or injured. As the director of the Public Security Bureau, he had done nothing so far. If he didn't get to the scene, Secretary Song would remove him from his position.
Ten minutes later, Tan Mufeng arrived at the scene with a group of police officers panting. At this time, the fire was about to burn the residential area. The fire brigade was desperately spraying water to build a fire wall. Even nearby residents were participating in the fire fighting operation. They took washbasins and hoses and poured water on the fire that was about to burn their doors. After an emergency rescue, the fire was finally under control.
After Tan Mufeng ran to the scene, he was also shocked by the monstrous flames. This really couldn't be described as a normal fire. This was simply a major fire.
Tan Mufeng came to Song Lian with fear and said, "Secretary Song, I'm late!"
Song Lian gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Of course you're late. This place was just set on fire, and one of the workers was burned to death. The other workers are still missing, and we don't know if they're alive or dead. With such a big thing happening, you, the director of the Public Security Bureau, are actually the last to arrive. You're dereliction of duty, you know?"
The cold sweat on Tan Mufeng's forehead suddenly came down. At this time, the temperature at the scene was abnormally high because of the fire, but Tan Mufeng felt a chill on his back. It was almost May. He was wearing a shirt and a spring police uniform jacket, but his whole body was already wet.
Tan Mufeng wiped the sweat off his forehead and said to Song Lian with a trembling voice, "Secretary Song, I just got here, so I don't really understand the situation!"
Song Lian continued to reprimand him with a straight face, "Of course you don't understand. If you did, the murder case last month would have been solved long ago. Now that it's been more than a month, the province is putting pressure on me, asking why you still haven't solved the case. Now there's such a big case of arson, it's hard for you, as the director, to escape responsibility!"
As soon as Tan Mufeng heard arson, he felt a headache coming on. If it was a natural fire, or if the winery's fire prevention measures weren't in place, then the Public Security Bureau would have nothing to do with it. Then it would be the fire department and the municipal government's problem. But if this fire was man-made, then it would be a big deal. If what Secretary Song said was true, then the Public Security Bureau would have to bear a lot of pressure. Such a big fire, not to mention the economic losses, it would cost at least three to five lives, maybe even more. Once the province knew the truth, they would definitely ask for the case to be solved within a time limit. If they couldn't solve the case, then he would be punished by the party, and his career would end here.
Tan Mufeng's spirits lifted, and he gave a standard salute. He promised Song Lian, "Don't worry, Secretary Song. Our Public Security Bureau will do our best to arrest the culprit as soon as possible."
Song Lian nodded, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started. I still need to report to the provincial leader, so I'll leave this to you!"
Song Lian got in the car and left. Wang Huasheng had already informed him earlier, so he just got on the highway and was now rushing back. This was a big deal, and the municipal committee had to immediately hold a meeting to discuss the next steps.
But just as Song Lian was about to get in the car, Jiang Cheng suddenly stopped him. He said, "Secretary Song, what should I do about tonight's matter?"
Jiang Cheng was counting on Song Lian to give him a standing army. Now that he was alone, how could he fight the enemy hiding in the dark alone? If what the culprit said was true, then he had obviously fallen into someone else's trap. Jiang Cheng wasn't stupid. At this time, he needed a force of his own.
Song Lian immediately thought of this. He thought for a while, then pointed at Jiang Cheng and said to Tan Mufeng, "You, go get the SWAT team for me. Tonight, you'll give him the command of the SWAT team, understand?"
Tan Mufeng looked at Song Lian, then looked at Jiang Cheng. He wanted to cry, but no tears came out. The SWAT team was the backbone of the Public Security Bureau. How could it be commanded by an outsider? Moreover, Secretary Song was obviously overstepping his authority. But Tan Mufeng thought that he still didn't understand the situation. Even if he had the power and manpower, he wouldn't know what to do!
He wasn't like his predecessor, who came from the Public Security Bureau. He was just a bureaucrat from the Ministry of Public Security. He wasn't good at investigating and solving cases, but he was good at selling positions. Song Lian and Wang Huasheng didn't like him for a long time, but the Public Security Bureau was an independent organization, so they couldn't be too obvious about it. But this time was different. With such a major security incident, plus the pressure of public opinion from the murder case, the Public Security Bureau was now a mess. Song Lian wanted to take this opportunity to straighten out the Public Security Bureau.
Tan Mufeng had no choice but to transfer the SWAT team to act as Jiang Cheng's thugs.
The fire at the scene was basically under control at this time. The SWAT team was still on the way, so Jiang Cheng still had some time to prepare. He turned to Li Shiya and the others and said, "Shiya, you go back first. Qi Qiaotong, you're responsible for leading the workers and everyone to guard the scene. If you find a living person, immediately organize a rescue. No matter how much money it costs, you must rescue him. You can withdraw the money from the bank account at will."
Li Shiya and Qi Qiaotong were anxious when they heard this. How could they not know that Jiang Cheng planned to sacrifice himself to save Qin Qin, who was kidnapped? But how could he have the ability to save people alone in his current condition?
Jiang Cheng also clearly felt their worries. He comforted them and said, "Don't worry. I have an army behind me. I'll be fine!"
At this time, the SWAT team who had just received the order arrived. Jiang Cheng took the car key from Li Shiya's hand and turned around to leave. But as soon as he turned around, he saw a white Porsche rushing over from a distance. The speed was very fast. In a few seconds, the Porsche rushed to the crowd and stopped in front of them.
Qi Qiaotong recognized at a glance that it was her old classmate Mino's car. She shouted to Mino, who had just gotten out of the car, "Mino, stop him. Jiang Cheng is going to do something stupid!"
Mino had just driven past after work and happened to see the thick smoke. The radio was also broadcasting that a winery somewhere in Jiangnan City had exploded and caught fire. The cause of the fire was unknown, and the general public was advised to pay attention to safety.
As soon as Mino heard it, she knew that Jiang Cheng's winery was on fire. Because there was only one winery nearby, there was so much smoke. It seemed that the fire must be big. Mino was anxious. She stepped on the gas and overtook more than a dozen cars in a row. She turned into the road here. As soon as she got out of the car, she heard a familiar voice saying that Jiang Cheng was going to do something stupid.
Mino stopped Jiang Cheng, who was about to get in the car, and said to him, "Jiang Cheng, what are you going to do? You can't be impulsive like this. Those bad guys are waiting for you to do something stupid! "
Mino thought that Jiang Cheng saw that his winery was on fire, so he was angry and wanted to take revenge on those people. But if that was the case, those people must have set up a trap and were waiting for Jiang Cheng to come to them!
Of course, Mino didn't want Jiang Cheng to die so foolishly, so she tried to persuade Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng said impatiently, "I know it's a trap, but I have to go. If I don't go, they will kill Qin Qin. Mi 'er, you don't want anything to happen to Qin Qin, do you?"
Mino was stunned. She didn't know that things were so complicated. Those people not only set a fire, but also kidnapped. Their means were really despicable. Mino knew that she couldn't persuade Jiang Cheng, so she said slowly, "Then you must be careful. If you can't beat them, run. Don't rush forward like a fool. We'll wait for you at home!"
Jiang Cheng nodded. He resolutely took the car key and got in Li Shiya's white BMW M3. He stepped on the accelerator and rushed out. Seeing this, Tan Mufeng hurriedly waved to Guo Lei and the other members of the SWAT team, who had just arrived, and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and follow them!"
Jiang Cheng and dozens of strong men from the SWAT team arrived at a place 15 kilometers away from the south bank of Yujiang. There, they saw the motel on the side of the national highway.
This motel was the only one within a five-kilometer radius. It was specially for truck drivers who ran long distances on the national highway. The fee was cheap, but the conditions were not very good. It could be said that it was very simple.
For safety reasons, Jiang Cheng didn't let anyone drive him here. Instead, he forced himself to drive all the way here.
He nestled in the car, holding the walkie-talkie that Guo Lei had thrown to him on the way, and said, "Captain Guo, is there anything?"
