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

it is good!

Apart from Sun Tao, the other four people applauded Qin Chuan's words.

This inquiry was originally forced upon us by the county party committee.

Xinhai Mining has been entrenched in Zhulin County for over a decade; everyone here knows its background.

Dong Zhijun was nothing more than a scapegoat.

When Dong Zhijun was arrested that day, he was beaten badly, but when he was sent to the hospital, the initial examination showed that there was nothing seriously wrong.

However, the man died that very night.

Because of this incident, Zhou Xuexi was scolded for two hours by the county head and Qian Guobin from the municipal criminal investigation team.

Dong Zhijun's sudden death put the entire investigation of the case in a very passive position.

Today's inquiry into Qin Chuan, led by the county party secretary's office, was merely an appetizer.

Because it was confirmed that Qin Chuan's violent law enforcement led to Dong Zhijun's death.

Not only will he bear responsibility, but Wang Xuebing, Lin Hu, and even Zhou Xuexi will also be implicated.

For Gao Qingshan, this was not only a way to avenge Qin Chuan's arrest of Zhao Junhao, which led to his own punishment, but also a way to stab the county head in the back regarding personnel arrangements at the county public security bureau.

In addition, they also resolved the Xinhai Mining case, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone!

Combat hero?

Sun Tao scoffed. As the secretary to the county party secretary, he was not a man without cunning.

On the contrary, although Sun Tao is young, he is meticulous and experienced.

He orchestrated the entire scheme of having someone kill Dong Zhijun overnight and pinning all the blame on the dead man.

The main reason he took the lead in today's questioning was that these people from the county public security bureau were all on the county head's side.

I don't have any substitutes here, so I have to play myself.

Sun Tao had just been thinking of making a quick and decisive move, intimidating Qin Chuan, and trying to take him down as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan dared to confront him head-on.

It seems we need to change our strategy for the future.

"A battle hero?"

Sun Tao lit a cigarette: "Comrade Qin Chuan, whether he is a combat hero or not is not something he can claim on his own."

"You are the hero if others say so."

Just because others say you're not, doesn't mean you are!

"When Secretary Sun mentioned 'someone else,' was he referring to you, or to a certain Party Secretary?"

"you!"

"All right."

Sun Tao, who was about to continue his attack, was interrupted by Zhou Xuexi: "Secretary Sun, just ask the questions, let's not talk about those useless things."

Zhou Xuexi was promoted by Chen Mingguang, the newly appointed county magistrate of Zhulin County.

He's not on the same page as the county party secretary, so naturally there's no need to give this Secretary Sun much face.

Moreover, if Qin Chuan's crime is established today, Zhou Xuexi will be the one to be punished next.

At best, he'll receive a disciplinary action; at worst, he might be transferred from his position as police chief.

In this way, Gao Qingshan can arrange for his own people to take over.

Without the support of the Public Security Bureau, Chen Mingguang will be at a greater disadvantage in future struggles.

Upon seeing Zhou Xuexue speak, Sun Tao immediately suppressed his feigned anger.

Qin Chuan didn't dig up his ancestral graves, so how much of Sun Tao's so-called anger was real and how much was fake, only heaven knows.

"Okay, let's do as Director Zhou says."

Sun Tao pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose.

"Qin Chuan, the county party secretary's office received a report about you early this morning."

"They said you were at Xinhai Coal Mine, where you used excessive force to beat Dong Zhijun to death."

"There is surveillance video evidence at the scene, and there is also a forensic report on Dong Zhijun's death."

"It is clearly stated that Dong Zhijun died from intracranial hemorrhage."

"Based on the on-site video and the forensic report, it can be determined that Dong Zhijun was killed by you."

"What do you have to say now?"

Sun Tao's voice is melodious and rhythmic, easily drawing people into his rhythm.

Moreover, what he said was very logical.

Someone reported it, so we have to investigate.

There is on-site surveillance footage; it was you, Qin Chuan, who hit Dong Zhijun on the head, knocking out his teeth.

According to a forensic examination, Dong Zhijun died from intracranial hemorrhage.

Zhou Xuexi's brows gradually furrowed.

This is the real reason why the other party couldn't stop the inquiry.

Zhou Xuexi knew perfectly well that Dong Zhijun's death was not caused by Qin Chuan.

They knew that the other party had set a trap, killing Dong Zhijun and framing Qin Chuan, and then turning against them.

However, police investigations require evidence!

The evidence now is that Qin Chuan killed someone!

Qin Chuan wasn't stupid; he knew Zhou Xuexi was definitely on his side, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken up for him just now.

Zhang Guohao had just reminded himself in the car that Sun Tao from the county committee was the presiding judge in this inquiry.

"Secretary Sun, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Dong Zhijun harbored and protected serious criminals, ran a casino at Xinhai Coal Mine, harmed female college students, and drove innocent women to their deaths!"

"After I discovered the clues, they resisted arrest! They even tried to help serious criminals Cheng Feng and Li Hu escape, and instigated lawless people in the mine to openly surround and kill police officers!"

"Faced with more than twenty violent lawbreakers, I fought back and injured Dong Zhijun. What's wrong with that?"

"Or is it that... in your eyes, Secretary Sun, I, the police officer attacked by criminals, am not a person, but rather Dong Zhijun, the criminal suspect who resisted arrest?"

"Since you've seen the video of the scene... Secretary Sun..."

Qin Chuan sat ramrod straight, his eyes showing no fear: "I'd like to ask you, are you blind?!"

Since they were adversaries, Qin Chuan naturally wouldn't hold back.

A powerful and direct confrontation!

My grass?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuexi and the others all showed surprise in their eyes.

Qin Chuan's eloquence is quite impressive.

boom!

"Qin Chuan! Sharp-tongued!"

Sun Tao narrowed his eyes and slammed his hand on the table: "Now we're talking about the cause of Dong Zhijun's death."

Whether he has committed a crime is for me to judge under the law.

"But as a police officer, you used excessive force and violently assaulted someone, causing their death!"

"You can't erase this from your memory no matter what you do!"

cough cough.

Lin Hu, who was standing to the side, coughed and looked at Sun Tao: "Secretary Sun, calm down."

"What Qin Chuan just said is that Dong Zhijun ordered more than 20 people to surround and kill Qin Chuan. Under such circumstances, Qin Chuan would naturally have to do everything he could to protect himself."

"At most, I think this is just excessive self-defense."

Excessive self-defense?

If it's classified like this, how can Secretary Gao take action against the Public Security Bureau?

In fact, this characterization was something Zhou Xuexi and others had discussed long ago.

It's true that Qin Chuan killed someone, but in that situation, if he had held back, he would have risked his own life.

Therefore, excessive self-defense might result in a major demerit, but it won't necessarily lead to being stripped of one's police uniform or even imprisoned.

This is the best that Zhou Xuexi and others can achieve.

However, Sun Tao clearly wouldn't agree.

"Director Zhou, is this the attitude of your Public Security Bureau in cooperating with the county party committee's investigation?"
