The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 603: Terrifying Knocking the Mountain to Shock the Tiger

"County Magistrate Luan... committed suicide!"

When Lin Fan heard this, Huo Ben’s face immediately surfaced in his mind.

It was clear that this was the reason he was willing to be arrested by the Public Security Bureau, and it also served as a warning to him.

"Yes, I had Da Shuang personally confirm the news. County Magistrate Luan is indeed dead. The body has been sent to the county funeral home and is preparing for a memorial service. Someone saw with their own eyes that he pushed open the window of the office on the eighth floor and jumped down. It is indeed a suicide without a doubt."

Such sensational news had already spread throughout Red Flag County. After all, County Magistrate Luan was a key official. While his suicide raised many suspicions, everyone knew it was probably not unrelated to Zhao Chuanchun’s manipulation, yet without any proof, no one dared to speak recklessly.

"It must have been arranged by Huo Ben. From what County Magistrate Luan said that day, it must have been something unbearable for Zhao Chuanchun, so he was forced to commit suicide. Huo Ben also took the opportunity to send me a message, considering me a soon-to-be Deputy County Magistrate."

Lin Fan never expected that Huo Ben’s conspiracy would involve County Magistrate Luan, but even though he figured it out, it was of no use since they had something to force him to commit suicide.

"Are you still going to Red Flag County... If it’s really not going to work, we might as well quit... This is too dangerous."

Zhu Zhixuan asked worriedly.

"I haven’t taken up the post yet; they won’t make a move on me for the time being. After all, they know I have connections in the city and I’m not obstructing them, but this makes things interesting."

Lin Fan stroked his chin, "You take care of yourself for now, and wait for my call. If it’s not working out, immediately take Little Shuang and Da Shuang back to Victory Village."

"Alright, I’ll wait for your notice!"

Zhixuan hung up the phone after speaking, and Lin Fan immediately dialed Gao Man’s number.

"Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you all afternoon!"

Gao Man said anxiously on the phone.

"It must be Song Lili recanting her statement, the rape case does not stand, and Huo Ben is going to be acquitted, right?"

Lin Fan had guessed the outcome.

County Magistrate Luan had already committed suicide. The show on Huo Ben’s side should also be over. It was time for him to leave.

"Yes, you guessed it... Suddenly Song Lili said that everything was consensual, she just wanted to blackmail Huo Ben. Now she has suddenly realized and decided to come clean..."

On the phone, Gao Man said helplessly, "But the thing is, she has been closely guarded and has not had any chance to communicate with the outside world, so how could she suddenly recant?"

"It’s simple, the person monitoring her is an insider. Don’t forget, Song Lili has a brother who is missing. The simplest method is to threaten her with her brother’s life."

Lin Fan’s words made Gao Man stunned, "Impossible, we are the city bureau’s criminal investigation..."

"That only proves that Huo Ben’s reach has extended into your department. No one can resist under the absolute assault of money or physical threats."

Lin Fan lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, "When is Huo Ben planning to release him?"

"By tomorrow noon at the latest!"

"Alright, you don’t need to worry about this anymore, I’ll be back in Jiangning tomorrow!"

Everything was as expected. Now all the pressure was on Lin Fan. No wonder Chu Shihan and Qiu Qingyi both warned him not to go to Red Flag County. It was indeed fraught with danger. Even County Magistrate Luan, who was about to leave, could not escape death in the end. Lin Fan recalled the words he had said at the tea house before he left.

Clearly, County Magistrate Luan had already sensed the crisis at that time. That’s why he left that saying about the deep waters of Red Flag County, warning him to stay away if anything happened to him. Now, it seemed to prove true.

"You’re leaving so soon?"

Han Peipei, who had just changed into a white dress, happened to hear Lin Fan’s last sentence.

"Our county’s magistrate committed suicide by jumping from his office, I, as the Deputy County Magistrate, should at least go check it out."

Lin Fan, with his phone in his pocket, was in quite a tumultuous mood.

"Committing suicide by jumping, he must have been coerced, likely involving some influential people’s interests. And your transfer order just arrived a few days ago, clearly someone deliberately arranged this, using you to resolve the issue. But now the person has committed suicide, won’t the blame fall on you if you go back?"

Han Peipei, coming from a family entrenched in bureaucracy, directly voiced her suspicions, and they were spot on, a testament to the formidable nature of her family background.

"I’m not sure, but morally and emotionally, I have to go back and see; at least I ought to send him off at the funeral home."

Lin Fan leaned back on the sofa. County Magistrate Luan’s death was truly shocking to him.

"That would just be sending you into the line of fire, you shouldn’t go back!"

Liu Lingfei, who also heard their conversation, quickly added her own concerned comments.

"If County Magistrate Luan hadn’t run into trouble, I wouldn’t go back. I was originally planning to stay in the Provincial City for ten days or half a month."

Lin Fan exhaled a puff of smoke as he saw the incoming call’s number, "See? The Deputy Mayor is calling personally. Now, I have to go back whether I want to or not!"
