Zeng Taiping’s call had no effect on Nie Zhenbang. When it came to the current leadership of Yangde City, Nie Zhenbang did not look at them with a colored lens either.
Things within the system. Situations where decisions cannot be made are common. Even if clearly aware that a well-behaved leader is actually filled with messy thoughts, it didn’t matter. In today’s society, a society governed by law, it’s about the law and evidence. Without evidence, no action can be taken.
So now, on the matter of Yangde City, Nie Zhenbang is not in a hurry to act. Right now, the whole case is still stuck at the level of serious crimes committed by the underworld.
…
Yangde City Public Security Bureau Conference Room.
Since Huang Jin personally led the team over, this floor of the conference room at Yangde City Public Security Bureau has been temporarily occupied by the provincial department. This has now become the exclusive office space for the 403 task force. By the entrances of the stairs and elevators, officers are stationed 24 hours a day to ensure that the work of the entire task force is not affected and that no information leaks out.
At the moment, Huang Jin is sitting in the main seat in the middle, next to him are the chief of the police supervision department and the chief of the criminal investigation brigade. He Zhengwu, the deputy director who is currently in charge of the overall work of Yangde City Public Security Bureau, is taking charge of the team. Next to him are the other key members of the task force, arranged in order.
Huang Jin tapped on the table, and everyone present, even the leading officials in the provincial public security line, were aware that this was a habit of Director Huang. Every time there was a huge matter, Director Huang would inevitably make such a move.
Huang Jin’s gaze was sharp, and he had no choice but to work on the case of Yangde City. Even though Governor Nie was staying in the municipal party committee guesthouse, with no intention of leaving, as if he didn’t exist. But, Huang Jin knew clearly. Governor Nie was waiting for him, waiting for his attitude and actions. If he didn’t take action, he was sure that the governor would have other measures ready. By then, the one who would get hurt would inevitably be him.
Thinking of this, Huang Jin began to speak: “How far has the interrogation and investigation work been done in the 403 case? Everyone, report the progress separately. Let’s start with the Interrogation Unit One.”
Capturing more than five hundred people at once, it was absolutely not enough with just one interrogation team. Therefore, Huang Jin doubled the size. All the members of the task force were top talents from various cities, along with interrogation experts from the provincial department. They were not short of manpower. Ten interrogation teams were established at once. Each team is dealing with the interrogation tasks for fifty people. To finish this in just two days was a significant amount of work. Huang Jin didn’t know if it was effective or if anything was found. Just one hour per person would take fifty hours.
Of course, each group would certainly have detailed division of work. But in the end, they probably wouldn’t spend more than three hours on each suspect.
Following Huang Jin’s words, a middle-aged police officer in his forties next to him nodded and said: “Director Huang, after we received the task, we divided the members of group one in detail. Ten people, including myself. Two in a team, five teams. Each team interrogated ten people. Over the past two days, based on some basic information we have mastered. We let the small fish go and focused on some small leaders. We learned quite a lot. According to their confessions, these people all come from Dingsheng Group in Yangde City. The boss of Dingsheng Group is Wu Debao. This incident happened because of Wu Debao’s birthday.”
With that said, the leader of Group Five also began to speak: “The situation we control is slightly different. According to a middle-level leader’s confession, Dingsheng Group is not only engaged in demolition work, but also runs entertainment venues. There is a group of people under their control who manage the ladies in their various entertainment venues. I think Dingsheng Group is suspected of being involved in the sex industry.”
“Director Huang, we have also made some significant discoveries. Under the strong political attack, according to the confession of one of the leaders, all the drugs in the major entertainment venues in Yangde City come from a person named ‘Qiang Ge’. This ‘Qiang Ge’ is very powerful. All the drugs are supplied by him to Dingsheng Group, which undertakes distribution. From this, it can be inferred that there is probably a large drug trafficking group behind Dingsheng.”
This information made Huang Jin sit up straight. He hadn’t realized until they started investigating this Dingsheng Group, and it was shocking. The sex industry, gambling, and drugs. These are the root causes of social disorder. Now it turns out, this Dingsheng Group is already involved with two of them. Soon after, Huang Jin said in a deep voice: “Sex, drugs, and gambling are all linked together. It seems that this Dingsheng Group is also involved in the gambling industry?”
As soon as he said this, the team leader of Interrogation Group Seven nodded and said: “Director Huang, according to the information we have obtained, Dingsheng has set up many spots in the city, running several large underground casinos. According to one of the suspects, each casino has a daily turnover of several million. In the establishment, there are specialized loan companies, which are high-interest loans, in addition, there is a professional debt collection team. They told us that several intentional injury cases in Yangde City, resulting in serious injuries and disabilities, are all related to Dingsheng Group. In conclusion, I think this has seriously affected the social and economic order of Yangde City. It has caused serious damage to the interests of the people of Yangde City. I suggest that we take action immediately.”
The speaker, Huang Jin knew. It was Ren Haijun, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation in Changhong City Public Security Bureau. Among the Bashu Public Security Bureau, he is an exotic flower. He is capable and competent. Although he did not come from a specialized background, he is better than those who did. However, because he is straightforward and refused to flatter or fawn, he has offended many people. He was in his fifties, and still just a deputy director.
Huang Jin waved his hand, giving Ren Haijun a gesture to calm down, he said, “Comrade Haijun, don’t be impatient. Let’s first listen to the situation from the investigation team.”
As the voice fell, the investigation team’s leader, Deputy Director He Zhengwu of the Yangde City Public Security Bureau, also stood up. He walked over to a projector and turned it on.
A set of slides appeared on the screen. At the very top of the pyramid, in golden letters, was written “Dingsheng Group”. Next to it, in a bracket, was the name of Wu Debao.
He Zhengwu began, “Our investigative team, in conjunction with the secret information previously collected by the Yangde City Public Security Bureau, has tapped into a vast pool of investigators these past two days. After a diligent inquiry, we’ve made significant breakthroughs in the investigation of the Dingsheng Group.”
The Dingsheng Group, also referred to as Peak Group, is one of the top ten private enterprises in Yangde City. Its president, Wu Debao, is among the top ten outstanding youth of Yangde City and a standing committee member of the Yangde City Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.
Underneath the Dingsheng Group, there are sub-businesses including the Dingsheng Demolition and Construction Company, Dingsheng Entertainment Company, Dingsheng Home Service Company, and others.
However, in reality, Dingsheng is essentially an organized crime syndicate with a tight-knit structure. Wu Debao has four main generals under him, known as the Four Heavenly Kings of Dingsheng. Each of them has their own group of followers who are responsible for various segments of the Dingsheng business.
The Demolition and Construction Company specializes in land requisition and demolition services for real estate companies. Based on our investigation, Dingsheng Demolition has been suspected of multiple cases of illegal and violent demolition. They manipulate through threats, assault, intimidation, and other direct violent means, acting as the pawn for real estate companies. Over the past three years, at least fifteen people have been disabled as a result and seven people have lost their lives. In addition, Dingsheng Group is extremely egregious when it comes to issues of gambling, prostitution, and drug trafficking. At present, we have identified the whereabouts and known hideouts of Wu Debao and his Four Heavenly Kings. Wu Debao, now forty-seven years old, has a twenty-one year old mistress. Every weekend, he goes to her house. I believe this would be our best opportunity for an arrest.”
As the voice settled, Huang Jin also stood up and said, “Comrades, I believe that you have all clearly heard the statements from our investigative and interrogation teams just now. This is an extraordinarily established crime syndicate, hidden under the protective umbrella of Yangde City. They are willfully reckless, cold-blooded murderers whose actions are extremely appalling. Our course of action is unconscionable. I order everyone to assemble by five in the afternoon. All communication devices should be confiscated. We will coordinate and deploy forces to apprehend these trash of society. The scum of humanity must be brought to justice under the law.”
Huang Jin was unable to suppress his anger. It was too shocking. In Huang Jin’s view, all the leaders in Yangde City were beyond reprehensible.
However, just at this moment, there came a knock from outside the conference room door. The police officer stationed at the door went out, exchanged a few words, then came back in and reported, “Director Huang, someone is looking for Comrade He Zhengwu.”
He Zhengwu stood up. He recognized the man who had just come in, his confidant, the Director of the Xi Yang District Public Security Sub-bureau in Yangde City.
Immediately going outside, before He Zhengwu could speak, the Xi Yang District Bureau Director blurted out anxiously, “Director, something big has happened. Just now, our bureau received a 110 emergency call. Wu Debao was found dead in his own house in Shuntian Garden.”
Upon hearing this, He Zhengwu was stunned. This was a big deal. The moment when the task force was about to arrest Wu Debao, he ends up dead. This is a direct provocation to the task force, a blatant challenge to the provincial party committee and government. Without hesitating, He Zhengwu walked back into the conference room and told Huang Jin, “Director Huang, there’s a piece of important news. Just now, Wu Debao was found dead.”
“Dead?”
“Dead!”
Suddenly, the conference room buzzed with discussion. The members of the task force were also utterly shocked by this news.
At this moment, Huang Jin’s expression turned grim. Wu Debao was dead? Did someone get scared?
