Chapter 778: Chapter 734 Important Evidence_1
No matter what, this time, Wu Debao’s death was suspicious. It was eerily timely. It was the worst possible time for him to die. He did not die earlier, but he happened to die at this certain moment, right when the task force had reached a conclusion and was getting ready to make an arrest. Huang Jin’s eyes had also become somewhat icy.
He glanced around at the people in the meeting room. His gaze, filled with suspicion, flashed and then disappeared. None of the people present should be suspected of leaking information.
As for the matter of making an arrest, it had only just been brought up, and just now, these people had not made any moves. Upon this, Huang Jin immediately vetoed the idea. Furthermore, even if information had been leaked, he did not believe it could be done so quickly. The meeting here had not yet ended when the person there had died. Unless it was a professional killer. Huang Jin was familiar with professional killers. If it was overseas? That could be possible. But in China, especially in a western city like Yangde City, it was unrealistic.
It seemed now that the only ones from the task force who could leak information were members of He Zhengwu’s investigation team. As a police officer, Huang Jin had the deductive skills to realize this. From the moment the investigation team started investigating the entire Peak Group, with a little thought, it was clear that there were signs of an imminent move.
Upon thinking of all this, Huang Jin did not show any changes in his expression. He gruffly said, “Let’s go. First to the crime scene at Shuntian Garden. Get all the experts from the provincial department’s forensic center to go there. Don’t overlook any details.”
Shuntian Garden was located in the Xi Yang District of Yangde City, near the North Yang River. It was indeed a rare and excellent residence, with the hills as it’s backdrop and proximity to the waterfront.
Following the arrival of Huang Jin and his team, Xi Yang District Bureau’s officers had already set up a cordon within Shuntian Garden.
Wu Debao had bought a duplex-style garden villa in Shuntian Garden. It was not a high-rise building and was located on the third and fourth floors. In total, it was about 310 square meters.
The decor inside the room was quite luxurious. Sitting on the sofa was a middle-aged woman in her early forties, who was weeping profusely.
As soon as Huang Jin entered the room, he surveyed the situation inside. The entire floor showed no signs of any struggle. Clearly, the killer had not engaged in a physical fight.
Looking at the weeping woman nearby, Huang Jin spoke in a serious tone, “Haijun, let the investigation into the cause of Wu Debao’s death be your responsibility. Arrange for someone to take her statement, and find out if there were any unusual circumstances with Wu Debao in the past few days.”
After a while, the forensic experts examining the scene and the attending physician came over and reported, “Director, based on the current scene, this is indeed the primary scene of the crime. According to the reactions of Wu Debao’s wife, it seems Wu Debao died of a sudden illness. A preliminary examination of his body revealed no signs of poisoning. For now, we cannot conclude the cause of death. Further autopsy is required to make a judgement.”
Upon hearing this news, Huang Jin wasn’t too surprised. He nodded and instructed, “The case of the Peak Group is taken very seriously by Governor Nie of the provincial committee. He is personally supervising it from Yangde City. Right now, leaders of the provincial committee’s standing committee and everyone else are watching the progress of this matter. Although there is no explicit pressure from the provincial department, we must not slacken. We must be meticulous and not overlook any clues. Wu Debao’s death is very strange. If we can’t figure it out, the entire case will come to a halt. I hope you all take this seriously.”
With that, Huang Jin turned and exited the room, saying to He Zhengwu who had followed him, “Zhengwu, join me in the car.”
Seeing He Zhengwu’s nervous expression, Huang Jin didn’t put any more pressure on him. Instead, he calmly said, “Zhengwu, the case in Yangde City is becoming more and more puzzling. Clearly, we all know that there must be a problem with the Peak Group. But their ruthless and cruel measures have far exceeded our expectations. Think about it, we had just decided to arrest Wu Debao. But immediately, Wu Debao is dead. This is worth considering.”
He Zhengwu was no fool. He immediately understood Huang Jin’s meaning and nodded, “Director, rest assured. Once I’m back, I will carefully screen and find the mole.”
Huang Jin nodded with satisfaction and spoke in a deep voice, “Wu Debao, a common thug, could not possibly have not left a way out and some cards up his sleeve. His sudden death this time, on the contrary, has given us an opportunity.”
He Zhengwu’s eyes brightened as he nodded and said, “Director, are you referring to ‘The death of a rabbit saddens the fox’?”
“Yes, Wu Debao’s death can indeed create a psychological barrier for us. These people wanted to use Wu Debao’s death as a warning to others, but they didn’t expect that doing so would unite those thugs in anger. This event will certainly evoke feelings in all of them. We need to hurry and arrest Wu Debao’s ‘Four Heavenly Kings’. Also, you can look into Wu Debao’s mistress,” said Huang Jin with a note of certainty in his tone.
As the director, Huang Jin’s abilities were undoubtedly on full display at this moment. Although the opponent’s move had completely disrupted Huang Jin’s plan, Huang Jin remained calm and composed, exhibiting a temperament that commanded respect.
After He Zhengwu got out of the car, Huang Jin instructed the driver, “Xiao Tan, head to the Yangde City Party Committee Guesthouse.”
Over the past few days since he arrived in Yangde City, now, Huang Jin could no longer hold back. Setting aside the need to report the death of Wu Debao to Nie Zhenbang, the development of the entire case also required a report from Huang Jin. This was a mandatory workflow, an immutable fact.
…
The City Party Committee guesthouse.
At this moment, Nie Zhenbang seemed to be leading a leisurely life in Yangde City. Over these days, Nie Zhenbang did not rush to return to Tianfu City. His stay in Yangde City at this time was indeed profound. Being here, even if he did nothing, could still be a deterrent and put pressure on others.
In these two days, quite a few leaders of the Standing Committee of Liangxi City had come to report their work but all were turned away by Fang Yuan. Moreover, this morning, Zeng Taiping had called again. Although he did not explicitly state his aim, there was much information revealed between the lines.
A governor’s stay for a few days is not a big issue. But, like Nie Zhenbang, staying in the City Party Committee guesthouse, remaining immobile and secluded like a hermit, is obviously inappropriate. Regardless, the governor’s main job is to preside over the provincial government’s operations. Now, he had chosen to stay in a prefecture-level city, ignoring official duties. What is happening?

At the moment, Li Jupeng came in from outside and said quietly, “Governor, Governor Huang has arrived.”
Nie Zhenbang was not surprised by Huang Jin’s arrival. At the moment, what Nie Zhenbang was waiting for was Huang Jin.
Immediately, Nie Zhenbang also stood up and said, “Old Huang is here, please let him in quickly.”
As soon as Huang Jin walked into the study, Nie Zhenbang was already at the door and stretched out his hand warmly, “Old Huang, I appreciate your hard work. Have a seat please.”
Nie Zhenbang’s attitude made Huang Jin somewhat pleased. After all, Nie Zhenbang was giving him due respect.
After sitting down, Huang Jin went straight to the point. He respectfully said, “Governor, regarding case 403, now there have been some changes and developments, let me update you.”
Hearing Huang Jin’s report about Peak Group, Nie Zhenbang’s face darkened instantly. They were engaged in gambling, drugs, rampant murder, forcing innocent girls into prostitution, drug trafficking, and extortion. It’s safe to say that all the evil practices in the world were on their table. Such people should not exist in this world.
However, upon hearing that Wu Debao had died at home today, Nie Zhenbang’s brow furrowed again. After a long silence, Nie Zhenbang immediately asked in a deep voice, “Old Huang, what’s your opinion?”
At this moment, Huang Jin also nodded and said, “Governor, in my opinion, Wu Debao’s death is not accidental. There is a hidden, incalculable big fish behind Peak Group. I think the rumors about Zhang Zhongxiong aren’t unfounded. According to the investigation, Zhang Zhongxiong’s son, Zhang Liqiang, although low-key, has had some interactions with Peak Group. Considering this, I believe Liu Quanhai’s case could be a breakthrough. In addition, I propose an investigation into Zhang Liqiang.”
Zhang Liqiang is Zhang Zhongxiong’s son. Although Huang Jin is the deputy governor, he doesn’t dare to make decisions involving these matters. Carrying out an investigation privately is a serious taboo. Consider this; no Standing Committee leader, no cadre, would like their children to be casually investigated by others.
If he could get Nie Zhenbang’s approval, his own responsibility would be nullified. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang, after pondering, said, “Old Huang, as for the investigation of Liu Quanhai, my suggestion is to conduct an investigation and gather evidence in the name of Provincial Public Security Bureau Discipline Inspection Commission. As for Zhang Liqiang, we must carry out covert investigation and keep it confidential. Is it clear?”
The two of them talked for two to three hours in the study in the Yangde City Party Committee guesthouse. At this time, Huang Jin’s mobile phone suddenly rang with the vibrating sound emanating from his pocket.
Upon seeing the incoming call shown on the phone, Huang Jin was shaken and excitedly announced, “Governor, it’s a call from He Zhengwu.”
As soon as the call was connected, He Zhengwu’s excited voice came from the other end, “Director, there has been a significant breakthrough in the case. We found very important evidence from Wu Debao’s mistress, Li Fei. According to Li Fei’s confession, Wu Debao had previously left a bank safe deposit box number and password with her.”
Hearing this, Huang Jin immediately stood up and said sternly, “He Zhengwu, this Li Fei can become our crucial breakthrough. You must ramp up her security. I will head over immediately.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote, recommend or purchase monthly tickets at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
