Chapter 109: Chapter 109

On the road, Captain Hu had already briefed him on the situation.

This morning, someone reported finding two bodies by the river.

After examination, it was determined that these two people had died within the last 24 hours, strangled to death as evidenced by the marks on their necks.

They called in the staff from Jiayue KTV to identify them and confirmed that these were two of the troublemakers from the KTV.

"Did you find any useful evidence at the scene?"

"No," Captain Hu replied. "The perpetrator’s work was clean and tidy, nothing was left behind."

Song Guanchao said, "The killer might be one of our own."

Captain Hu nodded, "Director Liang and I think so too."

The only thing they couldn’t understand was, why would this group attack one of their own?

Song Guanchao closed his eyes, the wind blowing on his face from the outside window, bringing him a measure of clarity.

His brain worked at high speed, trying to find useful information.

"Normally, there are only a few reasons to off one of your own members."

"Either there’s an uneven distribution of spoils, or there’s a difference in opinion."

"They probably haven’t committed the crime yet, so it might be an internal disagreement."

Song Guanchao opened his eyes and said, "They might take action in the next few days."

Captain Hu hummed a response; he and Director Liang had already considered this.

Now, they were under a lot of pressure.

They guessed that the other party was about to commit a crime, but they didn’t know how they planned to do it.

Would it be a home invasion robbery, or something else?

From their brutal methods, it was clear that once they committed a crime, there would definitely be casualties.

And there was nothing they could do about it; they could only passively wait.

It couldn’t be helped; the other party was just too well-hidden.

He arrived at the station and met with Director Liang.

The three of them talked for a long time in the conference room, nearly finishing a pack of cigarettes.

Liang Jiajia peered frequently at the conference room from outside, curious about what they were discussing.

Around nine in the evening, Song Guanchao suddenly received a call from Lu Feng.

"Boss, two cops from the public security brigade have been robbed."

"What happened?"

"They went to the bar to shake down the owner, but as they were getting into the car, two men suddenly appeared and beat them up. Moreover, they stole their service guns."

Song Guanchao’s pupils shrank, "Are you sure?"

"Positive!"

"Where are you now?"

"I’m following the robbers."

"Be careful."

"Don’t worry, I’m a professional at this."

"Send me the address later; I’ll come to find you."

After hanging up the call, Song Guanchao did not share this news with Director Liang.

He crushed out the cigarette butt, "Director Liang, I’ve got something to take care of, so I need to step out."

Captain Hu stood up, "I’ll come with you."

"No need," Song Guanchao shook his head and left the conference room, and Liang Jiajia glanced at him but did not follow.

Leaving the station, he called a designated driver.

While waiting for the designated driver, Lu Feng sent an address.

...

On the street near the bar district, Yang Bo and Li Yang sat in their car with swollen faces and bruised noses.

Panic filled their eyes.

"What do we do, Captain Li?"

Yang Bo felt he had been particularly unlucky these past two days.

Last night he was thrashed by detectives, and tonight, Song Guanchao had slapped him.

And now, they had been beaten up again.

And their service guns were stolen by the assailants!

Li Yang’s face was ashen; he had no idea what to do.

He only knew that if they didn’t handle this right, he might truly be stripped of his uniform!

It’s one thing for a police officer to lose their gun, but quite another for it to happen to two officers!

He pulled out his phone and dialed Zhou Jun’s number, "Captain Zhou, there’s been an incident."

"What now?"

Zhou Jun was also annoyed; these past few days it had been one thing after another with the detectives and Song Guanchao.

He felt nothing had gone right.

Li Yang hesitated for a while before he said, "My service weapon and Yang Bo’s were stolen."

"What?" Zhou Jun’s voice shot up two octaves, and he leapt up on the spot.

Li Yang recounted the incident in full detail: "Captain Zhou, should we report this?"

Zhou Jun did not respond.

He was thinking.

Losing a gun was a big deal, and it certainly could not be concealed.

The city bureau had already formed a special task force because of a gun theft case.

And now, at this critical juncture, their service weapons had been stolen as well.

No, they were robbed.

This was big, too big!

Even if his father was the head of the organization department, this couldn’t be suppressed.

"You two go to the city bureau immediately and report the situation to Director Liang!"

After instructing them, Zhou Jun immediately got in touch with Liang Jianfeng, not daring to hide anything and telling him everything.

In the conference room,

Liang Jianfeng put down his phone, squeezing the bridge of his nose with force.

Captain Hu asked, "Mr. Liang, who was on the phone?"

"Zhou Jun from the sub-bureau’s public security team."

"What did he want?"

"Something big."

Captain Hu felt a twinge of apprehension.

He then heard Liang Jianfeng say, "Two policemen from his team had their service weapons robbed while patrolling the bar street."

"What?" Captain Hu’s eyes widened.

Liang Jianfeng’s cigarette never left his hand as he said, "It must be the same group."

"Secretary Song was right; these guys are really planning something big!"

Now, it was three guns!

One was stolen, and two were robbed!

Such a situation was extremely rare nationwide.

Song Guanchao received a call from Captain Hu on the road, saying that two more guns had disappeared near the bar street.

Although he already knew, Song Guanchao still pretended to be surprised.

After chatting for a few sentences, he hung up.

Twenty minutes later, his car stopped outside of an old neighborhood.

Song Guanchao had the designated driver leave and met up with Lu Feng.

"Squad leader, it’s inside there, Building 15, Apartment 101."

Lu Feng reported, "There are two people who robbed the guns, and another person responsible for driving, three people in total."

"Before they entered the house, the lights were off, and if nothing unexpected happened, it’s just the three of them inside."

Song Guanchao nodded, then suddenly thought about the two bodies the police had found by the river during the day.

Those two people must have been killed by these three.

The reason for the killing didn’t interest Song Guanchao.

Moreover, this was good news for him.

The fewer the suspects, the easier it was to deal with them.

"Squad leader, how should we deal with this? Should we call the police?"

Song Guanchao crossed his arms and pondered for a few seconds then said, "No rush."

He checked the time and sent a message to Wu Qiangwei: "Secretary, are you asleep?"

Minutes later, Wu Qiangwei replied, "No."

Song Guanchao made the call.

"Speak."

"Secretary, I need to take a day off tomorrow for some personal matters."

"Alright."

Wu Qiangwei didn’t ask why he was taking time off: "Anything else?"

"That’s all."

Putting away his phone, Song Guanchao got into his car and said, "Drive in."

The car entered the neighborhood and parked near Building 15.

In the darkness, Song Guanchao observed the suspects’ house, and a plan slowly formed in his mind.

Elsewhere.

Li Lake Mansion.

"Uncle Hong, what brings you here?"

Wu Qiangwei was ready to rest when Uncle Hong paid a late-night visit, and Wu Ming came along as well.

After sitting down, Uncle Hong said, "Your secretary is really audacious."
