Official Career Storm
Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Chapter 123

The situation was too significant, involving the son of the head of the Organization Department.

Moreover, there was only the content of the kidnapper’s texts, even though the person with the last name Zhou matched up with Zhou Jun.

But this could not prove that the person was definitely Zhou Jun.

Besides, it was an anonymous number.

To confirm it, they had to search Zhou Jun’s home.

They had to find that cell phone.

But if they couldn’t find the cell phone during the search at Zhou Jun’s home, Minister Zhou would certainly hold a grudge against him.

This matter was beyond his control.

Therefore, he had to report it first, and let Secretary Wu decide what to do next.

Moreover, they were now Wu Qiangwei’s people.

So by all reasons, rational, emotional, and procedural, they had to inform.

Director Liang dialed Wu Qiangwei’s number and reported in detail.

Wu Qiangwei rubbed her temples, feeling the situation was extremely tricky.

Minister Zhou’s son was connected to the kidnappers.

Two of the guns were distributed by his orders...

It was simply inconceivable.

But as Director Liang had said, they were still in the investigation phase; it was just a conjecture, not confirmed yet.

But she knew, to carry out the investigation, they had to first bring the person in.

Someone had to take responsibility, bear Minister Zhou’s wrath.

"I’ll contact the provincial authorities. Wait for my call."

"Okay."

Wu Qiangwei directly called Secretary Gao of the Provincial Committee.

Tonight’s incident hadn’t reached the province yet.

Secretary Gao was surprised when he received the call.

After Wu Qiangwei gave a brief report, Secretary Gao realized the seriousness of the situation.

After all, it involved a standing member of the City Committee.

And a ranking Organization Department head.

"I’ll mention it to Hall Director Qi and let Liang Jianfeng call him in five minutes."

"Okay."

Wu Qiangwei contacted Liang Jianfeng again: "Call Hall Director Qi after five minutes."

"Okay."

Five minutes later, Liang Jianfeng called Hall Director Qi from the Provincial Public Security Department.

Hall Director Qi already knew about the situation and immediately instructed, "Comrade Liang Jianfeng, we’ll have a video conference."

Colleagues from the tech department entered the conference room, and Hall Director Qi’s imposing figure appeared on the screen.

The police officers who joined the meeting at short notice all sat up straight.

Hall Director Qi said, "From this moment on, this case will be taken over by the Provincial Department. Lingjiang City will temporarily be commanded by Comrades Liang Jianfeng and Wu Xinan."

"Director Liang, what suggestions do you have?"

Liang Jianfeng said, "Zhou Jun is the head of the Fengjiang Branch public security squad. I suggest we first control Director Zhang of the Fengjiang Branch. See if he knows Zhou Jun’s residence."

"Good, let’s do that."

"Hall Director Qi, what about Minister Zhou?"

"Don’t worry about him."

"Okay, I understand."

Now that the case was under the Provincial Department’s management, even if Minister Zhou found out afterward, it would have nothing to do with him.

If he dared, he could take it up with Hall Director Qi.

After the meeting ended.

Liang Jianfeng immediately made arrangements: "Captain Xu, send someone to collect Zhou Jun’s personal information and thoroughly investigate what properties he owns in Lingjiang. In addition, also look into Li Yang and Yang Bo’s information."

"Yes," Deputy Captain Xu Jinrong nodded.

"Captain Hu, take a trip to Fengjiang Branch and bring Director Zhang over. Remember to keep it secret, don’t let others know."

"Got it!"

After making the arrangements, Liang Jianfeng and Wu Xinan lit cigarettes.

They had thought the matter would conclude perfectly with the death of the kidnappers.

They never expected it would involve police internal personnel.

And the son of a high-ranking official!

The nature of this matter couldn’t just be described as bad.

It was simply reckless and brazen!

If it all turned out to be true, Minister Zhou’s political career as a standing committee member would likely be impacted.

At ten past ten at night, Director Zhang from Fengjiang Branch was brought in by Captain Hu.

Knowing a robbery had occurred, Director Zhang went straight to the station to await orders.

When Captain Hu arrived at the branch, Director Zhang was just preparing to go home.

So, he was brought straight back.

On the way, Director Zhang kept asking questions, but Captain Hu only said that Mr. Liang needed to see him.

Now arriving at the place, Director Zhang hurriedly asked, "Mr. Liang, you were looking for me?"

Liang Jianfeng asked, "Where is Zhou Jun?"

"Zhou Jun?" Director Zhang was a bit confused. "He’s off work."

"Do you know where he usually lives?"

"Not sure," Director Zhang realized that this son of the Organization Department head might have gotten into trouble.

"What happened to Zhou?"

"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t."

Liang Jianfeng stood up, saying, "Sorry, but I’ll need Director Zhang to stay here tonight."

At the door, he added, "Take his phone and keep an eye on him."

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang swallowed hard.

What exactly had happened?

At eleven o’clock.

Liang Jianfeng and Wu Xinan led a team personally and found Zhou Jun in an old house in the old city area.

When they burst in, Zhou Jun was in bed being intimate with a young girl.

The sudden appearance of the police nearly scared him impotent.

"What are you doing?"

"Who let you in?"

Zhou Jun was lying bare on the girl, yelling loudly.

The girl screamed in terror.

Captain Hu stepped forward and coldly said, "Zhou Jun, you are under arrest."

Then he gestured, "Take him away!"

Both the man and the woman were taken away.

After that, Captain Hu led a team to search the house.

They found two cell phones on the nightstand.

Then, in the drawer of the desk in the room, they found a second cell phone.

This cell phone was out of battery and couldn’t be turned on.

After bagging the phones as evidence, they continued to search.

They combed every corner of the room, making sure nothing was missed, before the police group left.

Back at the city police station, the criminal evidence officers immediately checked the contents of the phones and quickly made some discoveries.

In one of the phones, there were chat records with the owner of Golden City, filled with a great deal of indecent content.

They involved solicitation of prostitution, tipping off, and other illegal and disciplinary acts.

Aside from the kidnapper incident, these contents alone were enough to strip him of his police uniform.

"Get the evidence sorted."

"Yes."

Liang Jianfeng had heard of Zhou Jun and knew he had deep ties with entertainment venues.

These matters were not unusual.

It could only be said that in the past, with his background, no one would investigate him.

This time, he had walked into the line of fire himself.

In the early hours.

Captain Hu pushed open the conference room door and said to Liang Jianfeng and Wu Xinan, who were smoking inside, "Mr. Liang, Secretary Wu, we’ve found it!"

The two of them immediately followed.

Seeing the information on the phones, the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell.

The evidence was conclusive!

"Tell everyone to rest, Captain Hu, you too."

"Mr. Liang, I’m not tired," Captain Hu said. "I’ll stay and watch over this place tonight."

Liang Jianfeng didn’t insist any further, nodded, and as he walked with the phone, he dialed Hall Director Qi’s number from the Provincial Department to report this crucial content.

Listening to Liang Jianfeng’s report, Hall Director Qi said, "Director Liang, you’ve done well. Now, please stay at the city station and safeguard the evidence and Zhou Jun. Comrades from the Provincial Department will come to take over."
