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

When Jia Tianming left the detention center, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Although Zhang Beihai wasn't very bright, he was very good at understanding situations.

Although he didn't mention giving me any money at all, he actually ate king crab and drank champagne right in front of me.

He made no attempt to hide his position as bureau chief; on the contrary, it seemed as if he was deliberately putting on a show for himself.

What do you mean?

Isn't it just that they feel they have nothing to fear now because they've given money to their superiors?

Zhang Beihai felt that he had powerful backers who had given him money and also given money to Gao Zhiyuan, so he was certain that his group would not let him get into trouble.

Threat!

How dare you threaten me!

Sitting in the car, Jia Tianming closed his eyes to rest.

This matter is very difficult to handle.

If it's merely prostitution or acting as a protector of organized crime, these matters can be serious or minor.

There is room for maneuver here.

But killing someone in a car accident is different.

Before Jia Tianming went to the detention center to see Zhang Beihai, he had already learned about the relevant situation through the traffic police.

The family of the person killed by Zhang Beihai back then has never given up.

And this bastard didn't pay a single penny in compensation.

He only managed to get Tian Guojun to let the matter drop by taking advantage of his position as deputy captain of the criminal investigation team.

They said the driver who caused the accident hadn't been found.

In reality, the traffic police who responded to the call back then had already backed up the surveillance video.

It turns out that Chen Guodong from the criminal investigation team and the deceased were each other's first love.

Moreover, Qin Chuan played the video publicly at a general meeting of all cadres.

Now that so many things have happened, everyone knows that if they go against the will of the world...

Then Jia Tianming will be the one to step down tomorrow.

Although Jia Tianming was the director of the Ping'an County Public Security Bureau and the deputy county head,

In many cases, they can be said to be able to control everything and wield immense power.

But in reality, Jia Tianming knew very well that he was just a minor official, the director of the Ping'an County Public Security Bureau and the deputy county head.

Many things, once exposed to the light of day, he not only fails to help cover them up, but even personally steps in to stomp on them.

Zhang Beihai actually dared to think he could stay in his police uniform... Isn't that ridiculous?

After serving as the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team for several years, do you really think you're the one who created the criminal law?

It seems that conventional methods are not working in dealing with Zhang Beihai's case.

An afternoon passed quickly amidst the intensive work of all parties.

A courtyard.

The name of this club is simply "A Courtyard".

It is a well-known private club in Ping'an County.

It is open to a limited number of people and requires an appointment.

Today, the boss personally called the director of the finance bureau, who had made a dinner appointment with him, to apologize.

The other party did not express any dissatisfaction after receiving the call.

Because he knew very well that there was only one reason why his boss canceled his appointment.

That means someone of higher rank than oneself is needed temporarily.

As for someone who dares to cause trouble in a courtyard, you really can't find a single one in the entire Ping'an County.

After all, the person behind this club is said to be the son of the secretary of the Ping'an County Party Committee.

In Ping'an County, there are only two types of officials.

One type is the Party Secretary of Ping'an County, and the other type is other officials.

Everyone should show him sufficient respect.

This is the survival rule of officialdom in Ping'an County.

"Old Lu, try this. It's a new dish here. I had dinner with the county head last week and tried it. It tastes pretty good."

Jia Tianming personally served food to Lu Feng.

"Really? Then I'll have to give it a try."

Lu Feng was also polite and actually tried it.

After chewing a couple of times, he said with a pleased expression, "Hmm, it's really good."

Then, he continued his evaluation: "Whether this dish is delicious or not, only you know what it tastes like after you put it in your mouth."

"Old Jia, you don't know, when I was a child my family was poor, and I never wasted food. Let alone delicacies, I would eat even a mouthful of pig feed without spitting it out."

"What do you say?"

Jia Tianming's hand, which was holding a chopstick, froze slightly in mid-air.

"That makes sense. I ate something I shouldn't have a few days ago, and now I have an upset stomach."

"I went to check on it today, but it's not getting better."

At this point, the two looked up, smiled at each other, and continued eating.

Anyone with common sense knows what the other person means.

The "pig feed" that Lu Feng mentioned actually refers to the money Jia Tianming took from Zhang Beihai.

When Jia Tianming mentioned having an upset stomach, he was referring to Zhang Beihai's money.

"Old Lu, I went to the detention center this afternoon."

After playing cryptic games for a while, Jia Tianming knew it was time to make things clear.

"Bei Hai was eating king crab and drinking champagne right in front of me, and he even said you had visited him."

What Jia Tianming wanted to know was whether Lu Feng had given him the idea to threaten Zhang Beihai in front of him.

If so, it means Lu Feng wants to get involved.

If not, then that's Zhang Beihai's own business.

Lu Feng frowned, of course he understood what Jia Tianming meant: "I didn't bring him any crabs."

"That'll be easy."

Jia Tianming handed Lu Feng a cigarette.

"Zhang Beihai's matter is very troublesome; too many people know about it. What do you think we should do?"

"Haha, this is a matter for you police officers. My opinion is..."

"Old Lu, I invited you here today to have an open and frank talk."

"From what I heard from Beihai today, he doesn't even want to take off his police uniform; it's too much trouble."

"Is it more troublesome to stay in police uniform... or to go to Beihai?"

Jia Tianming looked up and stared directly at Lu Feng, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "It's all troublesome!"
