Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

"Captain Zhang, turn off the fork in the road ahead and it's about four or five hundred meters to the home of Mayor Ma. I've dealt with him before while working on a case."

"Alright, let's charge straight in and don't give them a chance to react. Also, have you made any arrangements for that guy nicknamed 'Crab'?"

"Team Two has already gone there, and they should be here by now. I just don't know if he's hiding at home."

"Everyone, please do your best. This is a case personally arranged by Director Fang. We must bring the murderer to justice."

"Gah..."

Just as Zhang Bingkun was communicating with the police officer, the police car suddenly braked, making a harsh friction sound with the ground.

When the lights of the police car shone, they saw a man lying on the ground about ten meters ahead, and another young man was raising his leg, as if he wanted to kick the man on the ground.

It was only when the police car lights suddenly shone that the standing man stopped his next action and waved at the police car.

"Xiao Zhao!" Zhang Bingkun looked over and shouted, "Stop the car!"

At this time, Zhao Wenhao couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Zhang Bingkun came really quickly. Even if he was given a few more seconds, he could kick Ma Hongzhi's other leg and break him completely.

Unfortunately, just as he raised his leg, the police car turned and the light shone on him, preventing him from taking the next step.

"Comrade Public Security, help me! This guy wants to kill me!"

Seeing the police car stop and someone quickly get out of the car, Ma Hongzhi, who was already as pale as death, seemed to have seen a savior, and struggled to shout in the direction of Zhang Bingkun.

"what's the situation?"

Zhang Bingkun rushed out of the car immediately, looked at the two of them, and then asked Zhao Wenhao.

He was very smart and did not recognize Zhao Wenhao, but pretended not to know him.

"Hello, comrade. I believe you are here regarding the Zhaojiayu arson and murder case. I am the reporter, Zhao Wenhao, and this is the suspect, Ma Hongzhi. He was about to escape when I stopped him."

Zhao Wenhao briefly recounted the incident to Zhang Bingkun and the others, but before he could finish, Ma Hongzhi began yelling, "That's not true! Don't listen to him! He has a grudge against me and is here to retaliate. He even broke my leg."

"That's nonsense! Ma Hongzhi was trying to escape on a motorcycle, and I seized the opportunity and rushed out to stop the motorcycle. But I didn't expect him to lose control of the motorcycle and fall to the ground, causing injuries. Now he is trying to frame me."

Zhao Wenhao's expression changed and he testified against Ma Hongzhi in a righteous manner.

"uh-huh."

Zhang Bingkun clearly understood what was going on. He coughed deliberately and said to the officer beside him, "Take Ma Hongzhi away. The person who reported the case has also been taken away. We will get to the bottom of the situation. We will never wrongly accuse a good person, nor will we let a bad person go."

"Thank you, thank you, this public security comrade." Ma Hongzhi was grateful and shed tears, but he didn't know that Zhang Bingkun came here in person this time just to arrest him.

"Let's go and meet up with Team Two to see if they've caught anyone."

Zhang Bingkun ignored Ma Hongzhi's injuries who was groaning in pain, and simply waved his hand, directing the driver to drive in another direction.

According to him, if they rushed into Ma Yaoming's house and conducted a thorough search at this time, they would definitely get something.

But Ma Yaoming is the deputy mayor after all. At his level, it is difficult for him to take any action without the relevant procedures.

If they were to arrest Ma Hongzhi at his home, that would be another matter. But now that Ma Hongzhi has been arrested, going to Ma Yaoming's home would not be enough.

"Where are you going? Can you take me to the hospital first? My leg is broken."

Ma Hongzhi looked at the police car driving towards "Crab"'s house in horror, and suddenly felt a panic in his heart.

"Has the truth been revealed? Otherwise, why would they go straight to Crab's house?"

Zhang Bingkun didn't know what Ma Hongzhi was thinking, so he scolded him directly: "Why are you yelling? Wait, I'll make arrangements for you. You should think about how to explain the arson and murder."

"I didn't, please don't accuse me." Ma Hongzhi's heart trembled, but he didn't give in at all.

"Is it wrong to accuse you?" Zhang Bingkun turned to look at Ma Hongzhi and smiled slightly. "Wait until your accomplices confess first. Then you won't have anything to do with it. I hope you'll have a chance to say that I wronged you then."

After saying that, without waiting for Ma Hongzhi's reply, he directly ordered the driver to speed up.

Soon, the police car arrived at the place where the "crab" lived. Another police car was parked at the gate of the yard, and two policemen were escorting the "crab" out of the house.

"Captain Zhang, this kid tried to resist when he saw us, so he got a good lesson. Also, a lot of controlled items were found in his house, and we've registered them."

Seeing Zhang Bingkun get off the car, a policeman hurried forward to report.

Zhang Bingkun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had been really worried that the boy would get away. Now, as long as they caught both of them, made them talk, and even let them blame each other, they would definitely be able to get to the bottom of the case.

"Take him away!" Zhang Bingkun didn't say much, and got into the car again, ready to return to the county criminal investigation brigade for direct interrogation.

As for Ma Hongzhi's broken leg, there is no time to care about him now. It won't be too late to deal with it after he explains everything.

Just now, Zhang Bingkun clearly saw that Zhao Wenhao was about to kick Ma Hongzhi's other leg off. It was obvious that he didn't want Ma Hongzhi to have a good life.

In this case, why not let Ma Hongzhi suffer a little?

Two police cars quickly drove to the county town.

Along the way, Ma Hongzhi repeatedly requested to go to the hospital, but unfortunately, he received no response. As for asking for help in contacting his father, Ma Yaoming, that was of course unrealistic.

"Captain Zhang, thank you for your help. If it's convenient, I'll call the village and tell my family so they don't worry."

Finally they arrived at the county public security bureau. Crab and Ma Hongzhi had been taken to the interrogation room separately, and Zhao Wenhao finally had the opportunity to be alone with Zhang Bingkun.

"Brother, don't say thank you. I should be the one thanking you," Zhang Bingkun said with a hint of meaning. "Come to my office and I'll take a statement later to explain the situation clearly. Also, I've already sent someone to your village to investigate."

"Okay, we have a long way to go."

Zhao Wenhao did not continue to be pretentious, as he knew what Zhang Bingkun valued.

If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely speak a few good words to Fang Jianxin. As for the effect, that was not something he could control.
