Lin Gang went outside and saw Zheng Zhongqiang coming up from the room downstairs. He didn't know which room Zeng Jing was taken to, so he could only go up one by one. All the policemen of the Provincial Department knew Zheng Zhongqiang, the director of the Municipal Bureau, so they didn't dare to stop him.
Lin Gang came down and saw Zheng Zhongqiang, who was about to go upstairs. They stared at each other. Zheng Zhongqiang asked, "Lin Gang, what on earth are you doing? Zeng Jing is the director of the Municipal Bureau. You can't arrest her just because you want to.
She is involved in a murder case. She is the suspect. Why can't I arrest her? Don't you think the arrest warrant signed by me, the deputy director, counts? " Lin Gang sneered.
"Don't play dumb with me." Zheng Zhongqiang stared at Lin Gang coldly. "Zeng Jing is a cadre of the Municipal Bureau. Arresting her is against the procedure."
"Hehe, whether it's against the procedure or not, I've arrested her. What can you do?" Lin Gang stared at Zheng Zhongqiang and said in an impolite tone. In fact, there were many cases like this where people got into the car first and then paid for the ticket later. Zeng Jing's identity was special. He was the director of a sub-bureau, but so what? Since it was related to his son's murder, Lin Gang could no longer look at it rationally.
Lin Gang's words obviously pissed Zheng Zhongqiang off. Things were different now. Lin Gang was no longer the director of the Jiang City Public Security Bureau, and Zheng Zhongqiang was no longer Lin Gang's assistant. Zheng Zhongqiang had been promoted to director, and his other position was the deputy mayor. With his current rank and status, he could be said to be on the same level as Lin Gang. However, Lin Gang talked to him in such a condescending tone. How could Zheng Zhongqiang not be angry? Lin Gang was scolding him like he was his assistant.
"Release her now." Zheng Zhongqiang held back his anger and said coldly. He didn't want to say anything more.
"It's impossible to release her. If you have the ability, why don't you send people to surround this place? If you can take her away from me, you must be a capable director." Lin Gang sneered.
"Lin Gang, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are the executive deputy director of the Provincial Department. Zeng Jing is a cadre of the Municipal Bureau of Jiang City. He is on the list of the leaders of the Municipal Bureau. Have you thought about the consequences of arresting her like this?
No matter what the consequences are, I, Lin Gang, can bear it.
Is that so? I'm afraid you can't afford it.
That's not up to you.
As the two confronted each other, Zheng Zhongqiang could feel Lin Gang's determination. After calming down, Zheng Zhongqiang could not help but wonder what kind of murder could make Lin Gang so desperate. Lin Gang arrested Zeng Jing today. If he didn't handle it well, Lin Gang's career would be ruined. Even if Lin Gang could afford it, his career would be ruined. Would an experienced official like Lin Gang risk his life for a murder case? The answer was obviously no. Zheng Zhongqiang was so angry that he forgot to ask the most important question.
Lin Gang, you said that Zeng Jing is involved in a murder case. What is it? Zheng Zhongqiang stared at Lin Gang and asked the question in his mind.
Hearing Zheng Zhongqiang's question, Lin Gang looked ferocious. "The death of my son, Lin Mao, is related to Zeng Jing. If I'm not mistaken, Zeng Jing is the murderer."
"Impossible." Zheng Zhongqiang shook his head decisively. He didn't believe it was possible. "Lin Gang, I think you're crazy. You want to find the murderer of your son, but you can't just randomly accuse Zeng Jing. How could Zeng Jing be the murderer?"
"Then let me ask you, why can't Zeng Jing be the murderer?"
"She can't be the murderer."
"Look, you can't prove that Zeng Jing is not the murderer. So, Zeng Jing may be the murderer."
"Lin Gang, don't be unreasonable. According to what you said, anyone can be the murderer."
"Zhongqiang, if you think I'm being unreasonable, there's nothing I can do. Since I dare to do this, I must have some evidence. As for the person you want, I can tell you that there's no way. You can leave now."
"Lin Gang, are you forcing me? Do you think I don't dare to send people to surround this place?" Zheng Zhongqiang's face darkened. Lin Gang's blatant disdain really irritated him.
"Of course you have the guts. Who are you, Zheng Zhongqiang? You're the director of the Municipal Bureau of Jiang City. Is there anything you don't dare to do in Jiang City?" Lin Gang sneered.
"Lin Gang, watch your tone." Zheng Zhongqiang said angrily.
"Hehe, I'm used to talking like this. So what?" Lin Gang raised his eyebrows.
Zheng Zhongqiang's face darkened. He didn't say anything. Lin Gang was still so arrogant. When he was Lin Gang's assistant, he had seen Lin Gang's character. Arrogant, unreasonable, and headstrong. He didn't expect that Lin Gang was still the same.
"Fine, you won't let him go, right? I'd like to see how long you can keep him here today." Zheng Zhongqiang glared at Lin Gang. After saying that, Zheng Zhongqiang turned around and left.
Downstairs, there were police officers watching. Such an explosive scene might not happen once in a lifetime. While watching, many police officers held their breath. Officials like Lin Gang and Zheng Zhongqiang were existences that most police officers could only look up to. Who would have thought that such a scene would happen? Some people even realized that today's incident might be earth-shattering.
After Zheng Zhongqiang left, one of Lin Gang's henchmen walked up. "Lin Gang, do you want to transfer Zeng Jing?"
"Transfer? To where? " Lin Gang snorted. It was not impossible to transfer Zeng Jing away, but Lin Gang didn't want to do that. He wanted to make Zeng Jing's case an ironclad one. He didn't want to hide and make it seem like he was really detained illegally.
Since Lin Gang had spoken, his henchmen naturally didn't dare to say anything. After Zheng Zhongqiang left, Zheng Zhongqiang's secretary was waiting outside with his car. Seeing Zheng Zhongqiang coming out, the secretary walked up to him. "Director Zheng, how did it go?"
Zheng Zhongqiang glanced at the secretary, frowning. He didn't say anything. After the fury, Zheng Zhongqiang calmed down. Recalling what Lin Gang had said, Zheng Zhongqiang couldn't help but wonder if Zeng Jing really had something to do with Lin Mao's murder. Zheng Zhongqiang knew that Lin Gang was the Executive Deputy Director of the Provincial Department and had been a police officer for nearly 30 years. Even though Lin Gang had many shortcomings, he knew better than anyone else the consequences of arresting someone without evidence. If it were an ordinary person, Lin Gang could easily suppress him with his power. But the problem was that Zeng Jing was not the key person, so Lin Gang should have thought about the consequences.
When he walked out, Zheng Zhongqiang had thought of mobilizing a large number of police officers. Lin Gang had said that it was impossible for Zheng Zhongqiang to take Zeng Jing away, so Zheng Zhongqiang would take him by force. But now, after thinking about it calmly, Zheng Zhongqiang didn't act on impulse.
