Just listen.
A commotion could be heard outside:
"Let us in...we want to file a report using our real names..."
"Let me go... I'm a victim... You can't do this to me..."
"You need to catch the bad guys...catch Qin Jiang...go and catch him..."
.....
Bai Meng frowned.
Wang Hu immediately pushed open the door and went out:
Bang!
In the lobby of the investigation room, the Qin family members were arguing incessantly. Qin Shouye was the only one raising his middle finger, Qin Songbai was wrapped in white cloth, and the others were all injured.
They were all taken to the hospital for treatment; the others were not seriously injured and only needed simple bandaging.
Qin Shouye was badly injured, but his fingers couldn't be reattached, so stitching them up was much simpler, and they finished the procedure in less than half an hour.
They could have stayed in the hospital for treatment, but Qin Shouye and the others were terrified after the recent car accident and kidnapping and dared not stay in the hospital for fear that Qin Jiang would send people to harass them again. Ignoring everyone's objections, they forcibly left the hospital and came here. When they heard that they had only arrested the three kidnappers, they were furious and started shouting and yelling along with Qin Songbai.
...
Wang Hu said, "What's all this noise about? This is the investigation room, not your home! Shut up!"
Whoosh...
Qin Shouye and the others were so frightened by the shout that they dared not cause any more trouble. They had great respect for the identities of Wang Hu and the others.
Qin Shouye: "Um... this leader! We're not causing trouble, I'm here to file a report?"
Wang Hu: "I am aware of your report. There is no conclusive evidence yet. We will continue our investigation!"
Qin Songye: "We can't just investigate! You need to arrest Qin Jiang first! He almost killed us all..."
Qin Songbai: "He's the murderer? You arrest him and interrogate him: then you'll have evidence?"
Wang Hu: "Trial? Who do you think he is? You think you can just start a trial whenever you want? Besides, how can you try someone without evidence?"
Qin Shouye: "Sir, we've all reported this... We're victims too... Look... I'm in this state, I'm filing a formal complaint: Why don't you arrest Qin Jiang first? The evidence will be available soon..."
Wang Hu: "Is what I'm saying so hard to understand? We arrest people based on evidence, not arrest them first and then have the evidence?"
now.
Qin Shouye noticed Wang Hu's shifty eyes and his intuition told him something was wrong. The other man seemed to be more interested in Qin Jiang. (In his eyes, not being on his side meant being on Qin Jiang's side.) Then he looked at the man's rank! Squad leader! Hmm! His rank wasn't that impressive. He couldn't help but say, "Sir! Don't try to fool me. This old man knows everything!"
"I am from Qin Family Village in Shancheng. We will contact you immediately regarding our encounter with Shancheng. You must take full responsibility for your actions today!"
His words conveyed the same meaning:
He has connections!
Moreover, his position was not low; he could represent Shancheng to call Songjiang to inquire about the situation and instruct Wang Hu to act according to his wishes, otherwise Wang Hu would have to take responsibility if something really went wrong. Such words were usually very effective, especially in the western part of Shancheng.
Unfortunately, Wang Hu scoffed at this.
Promote someone?
It doesn't work with him. Putting aside the fact that he's a person who upholds the law impartially, he also has connections above him.
Wang Hu: "I've said it before: I will follow the procedures..."
Qin Shouye was furious: "What kind of attitude is this? You don't happen to have some kind of relationship with Qin Jiang, do you? Get your leader here, I want to see your leader, I want to see your leader."
Wang Hu:...
Bang!
The door was pushed open.
Bai Meng came out from inside, frowning: "Why is it still making such a racket..."
Wang Hu: "These victims insisted that we arrest people, saying that the mountain city would coordinate, and they even wanted to see the leaders."
Bai Meng frowned as he looked at Qin Shouye and the others:
"You want to see me!"
Qin Shouye looked Bai Meng up and down, puzzled: "Are you the leader? Can you make that decision?"
Bai Meng looked quite young, only about 30 years old, similar to Wang Hu. At that age, even if he were a leader, he would be a junior leader. In his opinion, to resolve the matter, he needed to find a senior leader who could make the decision, and then bring out his backer to get the other party to arrest Qin Jiang first.
Wang Hu: "He is our captain!"
Captain-General?
Qin Shouye and the others were shocked. As people from Qinjiazhuang who always talked about their careers and family background, they were very sensitive to positions. The Chief Captain! That meant that he was already in the highest echelon of the Northern Security System. The Chief Captain! That meant that he was a true high-level figure in the security system, in charge of thousands of people, many of whom were high-ranking deputy bureau chiefs. That was the same level as their Qinjiazhuang backer. Even if they weren't high-ranking, it was still quite outrageous.
after all:
How old is Bai Meng? He's only in his thirties!
But that guy from Qin Family Village is already fifty!
In terms of the power and authority of their positions, there is not much difference between the two. However, in terms of future prospects, the one at home is clearly not as promising as Bai Meng in front of him.
Upon realizing this, Qin Shouye and the others' newly formed arrogance vanished, and they felt even greater reverence for their leader than ordinary people, especially those from families that considered themselves officials.
Qin Shouye hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully said, "Hello, leader..."
Bai Meng: "What questions do you have?"
Qin Shouye remained respectful: "It's like this... We were pursued by men sent by Qin Jiang, and our family members were seriously injured, so we were in a bit of a hurry to capture Qin Jiang..."
"I may not have had a clear communication with this leader just now, and I understand how hard the leaders work."
"We were too hasty... mainly because we were physically and mentally exhausted... we were a bit too angry and lost our composure..."
Bai Meng: "What did you just say...?"
Qin Shouye: "I said our injuries led to..."
Bai Meng: "The previous sentence."
Qin Shouye: "I said we didn't communicate clearly!"
Bai Meng: "In the previous sentence."
Qin Shouye: "Qin Jiang sent men to hunt us down..."
Bai Meng: "Where did you get the information that Qin Jiang sent people to hunt you down...?"
Qin Songbai: "Isn't it obvious? We offended him no sooner than we were being hunted down."
Qin Songye: "Those three kidnappers even called Qin Jiang; we overheard it..."
Bai Meng: "What did you hear? You heard Qin Jiang tell them to kidnap you? Even if you heard it, it can't be used as evidence. Evidence needs to be authentic, not just hear a few words. Or do you have other evidence? Do you have an audio recording? Do you have a video recording?"
evidence?
Qin Shouye: "We don't...but..."
Bai Meng: "No buts! The criminals have confessed: this kidnapping case has nothing to do with Qin Jiang."
Irrelevant?
Before Qin Shouye and the others could speak...
Bai Meng: "We will investigate the case further, and we will notify you when the investigation is completed."
Qin Shouye and others:...
They were a little confused and didn't know what was going on, but the next moment they seemed to understand.
Then I saw it.
Qin Jiang has arrived...
