The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

"Moreover, when I arrested him, Zou Xiaohu violently resisted arrest and openly attacked the police, so I broke both his legs."

“I think, unless someone breaks him out of prison,” Qin Chuan glanced at Liang Hao, then turned to Lin Hu, “he wouldn’t be able to escape the Criminal Investigation Brigade even if he had wings.”

Having said that, Lin Hu knew that he couldn't get Zou Xiaohu out of trouble by relying on his connections.

Lin Hu slowly wiped the smile from his face, his voice low and somber: "Qin Chuan, are you really not going to reconsider my suggestion?"

"Don't worry, Director Lin. If any problems arise, hold me accountable."

snort!

With a cold snort, Lin Hu turned away, flicking his sleeves.

His face is useless, so let someone with more face take his place.

Zou Xiaohu absolutely cannot get into trouble.

Of the people on this boat, Zou Xiaohu is the key figure. If something happens to him, not only will he suffer, but Zou Mingyi and Zou Minghua will also be unable to escape.

Therefore, at this point, he could only call Zou Mingyi.

Since they didn't give him, the deputy director of the Zhulin County Public Security Bureau, any face, the only option was for Zou Mingyi, the secretary of the county's Political and Legal Affairs Commission, to personally intervene.

However, before the call could be made, a black Passat pulled up outside the Criminal Investigation Team's headquarters.

I glanced at the license plate; it was vehicle number 4 from Zhulin County!

Lin Hu jogged over and opened the right rear door just as the car stopped.

"Secretary Zou, why did you come in person?"

Zou Mingyi glanced at Lin Hu, his face expressionless: "How's the investigation going with the Dagang Village murder case?"

An army must have a legitimate reason for its actions.

Zou Mingyi came specifically because of the murder case in Dagang Village.

This was also a case that County Magistrate Chen Mingguang had asked him to pay close attention to.

Although, according to the original plan, he would not come to the criminal investigation team until tomorrow.

But if it had come a little earlier, who could have found fault with it?

"Reporting to Secretary, I was just looking into this case as well."

Lin Hu led Zou Mingyi out of the car and towards Qin Chuan: "Qin Chuan from the Criminal Investigation Brigade just reported that the case investigation has made significant progress."

"However, Captain Qin Chuan and I have some disagreements about how to handle the criminal suspect. Since you're here, I'd like to ask you for your advice."

"Oh? What's the discrepancy? Just send them directly to the detention center, won't that solve the problem?"

While Zou Mingyi was speaking, the two of them had already walked up to Qin Chuan.

This wasn't the first time Zou Mingyi had dealt with Qin Chuan.

The incident at the vocational high school gave Zou Mingyi a deep understanding of Qin Chuan.

Although that incident had nothing to do with him, he was entrusted by Gao Qingshan, the county party secretary at the time, to handle it, and his real purpose was to take down Qin Chuan.

But to everyone's surprise, Qin Chuan was able to turn the tide in that situation.

Not only did he escape unscathed, but he also thoroughly humiliated Gao Qingshan.

Right in front of him, they arrested the principal of the vocational high school.

This is Zou Mingyi's second confrontation with Qin Chuan.

This time, Zou Mingyi has made thorough preparations.

He wanted to see if Qin Chuan still had any chance of turning the tables.

"Secretary Zou."

Qin Chuan took the initiative to greet him.

This is a matter of basic manners.

"Ah."

Zou Mingyi nodded coldly: "This case was handled well. Hand the person over to Deputy Director Lin and send him to the detention center."

After saying that, Zou Mingyi turned to leave.

But Qin Chuan's words brought him back to his senses.

"Secretary Zou, I'm afraid this won't work."

No?

Zou Mingyi's face was gloomy. No matter what, he was the secretary in charge of the county's political and legal work.

How dare Qin Chuan openly disobey my orders?

"Qin Chuan, I told you, you handled the Dagang Village case well. How come... Deputy Director Lin personally escorted the person, and you still don't trust him?"

"Are you afraid they'll run away?!"

Qin Chuan remained mild-mannered. He could be tougher on Lin Hu or Liang Hao, but when it came to Zou Mingyi…

The police officers present had no idea that they possessed evidence that could cost Zou Mingyi his life.

Therefore, we must still show due respect.

“Secretary Zou, you misunderstand. How could I not trust Deputy Director Lin?”

Qin Chuan had another thought in his mind: "The main problem is that I can't trust you."

It's just that I can't say it in public.

"The key point is that when Zou Xiaohu was arrested, he openly resisted arrest and even assaulted the police."

"I accidentally broke both of his legs."

Leg...broken?

Zou Mingyi's eyes twitched violently, but he couldn't refute the reason Qin Chuan gave him.

"Didn't you take him to the hospital?"

"No need, a simple bandage will do, he won't die."

Zou Mingyi: "...Nonsense!"

"Qin Chuan, as a police officer, even when dealing with criminal suspects, you must fully consider their human rights."

“Alright,” Zou Mingyi then looked at Lin Hu: “Deputy Director Lin, you will take over the case concerning Dagang Village.”

"Get the person to the hospital first, otherwise they might turn around and accuse us police of violating human rights and the law."

Lin Hu naturally had no objection: "Okay, Secretary Zou, I'll contact the county hospital right away and send the person there immediately. I'll personally guard him at the hospital."

After saying that, Lin Hu led Liang Hao and the others to go inside.

However, Lu Zhiguo still stopped him.

"Step aside!"

Lu Zhiguo glanced at Liang Hao and snorted coldly.

You're nobody.

Even Zou Mingyi's words have no effect, so who do you think you are, Liang Hao?

Zou Mingyi's face turned stern as he looked at him: "You're Lu Zhiguo, the squadron leader of the first squadron, right? I remember you. Now carry out the order."

Lu Zhiguo remained silent, instead looking at Qin Chuan.

"Secretary Zou, I advise you to leave this matter alone."

"Huh? What are you saying? I am the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. County Head Chen Mingguang also specifically instructed me to supervise the investigation and solving of the case."

"You think I'll just ignore it because you say I don't care?"

“Secretary Zou, the suspect, Zou Xiaohu, is your nephew. According to the principle of recusal, this case… you really can’t handle it!”

Qin Chuan is right.

Zou Xiaohu is Zou Mingyi's nephew, a collateral relative within three generations. According to the recusal system, Zou Mingyi should indeed not have interfered in this case.

However, rules are rules, and often you can't use rules as a basis for your decisions.

Such as now.

"Are those rules pressuring me?"

Zou Mingyi snorted coldly and looked at Lin Hu again: "Deputy Director Lin, the suspect was injured during the arrest. What should be done?"

"Reporting to the secretary, according to regulations, the suspect should be sent to the nearest hospital for treatment. The police are not allowed to interrogate the suspect while he is receiving treatment. If necessary, the attending physician's opinion should be sought."

"Okay, then follow the rules and immediately prevent them from being sent to the hospital!"

"Yes!"

Zou Mingyi glanced at Qin Chuan.

You want to talk to me about rules?

I've spent my whole life in the political and legal system; I know more about the rules than you do.

Qin Chuan certainly understood what Zou Mingyi meant.

You're telling me to follow the rules and leave, so I'll follow the rules and take the injured suspect to the hospital.

If you don't agree, I won't avoid it.

In short, Zou Mingyi is determined to get the person out of the criminal investigation team today.
