Official Career Storm
Chapter 124

Chapter 124: Chapter 124

Zhou Jun had been drinking that evening and arranged for a girl.

It was said that this girl was an art school student who had studied dance, and was very flexible, having only ever had one boyfriend.

He tried her out and indeed, the service was good, and after two rounds, he still wanted more.

But during the third round, halfway through, a group of police officers burst in.

To this day, he couldn’t understand why he had been arrested.

Had these police officers gone mad?

Didn’t they know who he was?

After he was thrown into the interrogation room, no one paid him any attention; even if he wanted to find someone, to explain, he couldn’t see anyone.

He kept trying to figure out the reason they had arrested him.

Could it be that his tipping off those entertainment venues had been uncovered?

But even if it had been, would it warrant this response?

Such a minor misdeed, even if exposed, would at most result in being kicked out of the unit.

With some wrangling, he wouldn’t even need to be detained.

"Damn it!"

He cursed vehemently and leaned back on the cold iron chair, reaching for his pocket before remembering that he was wearing a set of clothes the police had randomly given him; he had no cigarettes.

In the interrogation rooms next door, both Yang Bo and Li Yang had also been detained.

They were just as confused, having been arrested by the police while in the midst of fun at home with young girls.

...

Song Guanchao slept quite soundly that night.

If nothing unexpected occurred, the police should have found the robber’s phone by now.

Zhou Jun should also have been arrested.

He had stuffed the phone into Zhou Jun’s pocket after taking out the robber.

That was the only chance he had to come into contact with the robber.

Not bad, everything went smoothly.

At four-thirty in the morning, the provisional task force established by the Provincial Department arrived in Lingjiang.

Due to the grievous nature of the case and the involvement of firearms, the Provincial Department specially appointed the Captain of the Criminal Police Squad, Xue He Ping, to lead the task force.

After a brief handover, Xue’s task force officially took over the case.

They examined the robber’s phone and the phone found in Zhou Jun’s home.

After reviewing the content, they first sent technicians to verify the authenticity of the text messages. Once confirmed, they proceeded to lift fingerprints from the phone.

This would take time.

Therefore, they decided to interrogate Zhou Jun simultaneously.

The door of the interrogation room creaked open, and the half-asleep Zhou Jun opened his eyes to see several older policemen walking in.

"Why are you arresting me, do you know who I am..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhou Jun’s gaze suddenly fell on the shoulder of one of the middle-aged policemen, and his pupils dilated sharply.

On the epaulet, an olive branch and two four-pointed stars.

Second-level Police Inspector!

Zhou Jun’s mind thundered, and he was completely panicked.

This was a Second-level Police Inspector, at least a deputy department level leader—such officers normally held deputy positions in provincial police organizations, assisting the work of the head of the Police Department.

That meant, the officer before him was from the Provincial Department!

And furthermore, at this point in time...

Clearly, he had been hastily ordered to come directly from the Provincial Department.

Zhou Jun felt panicked and a profound sense of fear.

Had they come specifically for him?

But what on earth had he done?

Just tipping off entertainment venues; surely that wouldn’t necessitate a leader from the Provincial Department to come down, would it?

Looking at the plain-looking but saber-sharp middle-aged policeman in front of him, Zhou Jun’s body involuntarily began to tremble.

Captain Xue sat down, spread out his notebook, grabbed his fountain pen, and asked, "Name."

"I, I am..."

"What are you?"

Zhou Jun swallowed hard, stammering fearfully, "My father is Zhou Yimin."

"I know," Captain Xue asked again, "Name."

"Zhou, Zhou Jun."

"Age."

"28 years old."

"How do you know He Sha?"

"Who is He Sha?"

Captain Xue put down his pen and just stared at him.

Zhou Jun felt uncomfortable under the gaze.

Captain Xue said, "It’s fine if you don’t admit it, let’s talk about something else."

"You are the captain of the Fengjiang Branch public security team, right?"

"Right."

"You have quite a good relationship with some entertainment venues."

"No, not at all."

Captain Xue closed his notebook and said, "Zhou Jun, it’s okay if you’re not cooperative; we can take our time with the interrogation. But as a police officer, you should know, the Ministry of Public Security values evidence over confessions."

"We have already gathered substantial evidence, so whether you admit it or not doesn’t really matter."

"You should rest well and think carefully."

Upon finishing, Captain Xue stood up and left. When he reached the door, he said, "Prepare a blanket for him; let him smoke if he wants, brew tea if he wishes."

"Yes, Captain."

Soon after, a police officer brought bedding, cigarettes, beverages, and snacks.

Zhou Jun sat on the blanket, smoking, with the name "He Sha" swirling through his head.

Who the hell is this guy?

I truly don’t know him!

After smoking several cigarettes in a row, Zhou Jun suddenly shouted at the outside, "Officer!"

A police officer opened the door and entered, "Had a change of heart?"

Zhou Jun said through gritted teeth, "I want to see my dad!"

The police officer sneered, "We will notify your family."

With that, he closed the door again.

The next morning,

the City Committee and Municipal Government were in an uproar.

Although there was no information about last night’s events on the internet, the bureaucracy was well-connected.

Especially for an explosive incident like that one, it took just one morning to spread.

However, they were not clear on the specifics.

All they knew was that last night someone robbed an armored cash transport vehicle, and the robbers were armed.

It was said that dozens of police officers were deployed, including the special police.

Secretary Sun received the news last night and as soon as he arrived at the City Committee today, some of his acquainted subordinates were already inquiring, "Secretary Sun, tell me about last night’s events."

"I only learned about it from what you all have said; Secretary Lu has called for me, I need to head over there now."

Secretary Sun brushed off the inquiry lightly and hurried towards Secretary Lu’s office.

Secretary Lu had rushed back overnight and organized a meeting first thing in the morning; all heads of the Lingjiang bureaus were required to attend.

But someone astutely noticed that Chu Xiao’e, the Secretary of the Municipal Committee, wasn’t at the meeting.

Neither the first nor second in command of the Police Department, nor those of the Political and Legal Committee, attended the meeting.

In the meeting, Secretary Lu made only a brief mention of the previous night’s events.

Many were unaware of the details, and no matter how much they asked, Secretary Lu just wouldn’t say.

After the meeting, Secretary Lu said, "Mayor Zheng, Minister Zhou, please stay behind."

Minister Zhou was startled, thinking Secretary Lu had some instructions for him, and didn’t think much else.

Once the others had left, Secretary Lu, with a serious expression, said, "Minister Zhou, comrades from the province want to see you."

Minister Zhou was taken aback, "From the province? Which comrade?"

Secretary Lu said, "The Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee."

Minister Zhou’s pupils contracted slightly, but having been seasoned in politics, he quickly returned to normal.

He furrowed his brow slightly and asked, "Secretary Lu, what’s going on?"

"I’m not clear on the specifics; I received the notice just before the meeting."

Secretary Lu shook his head, glanced at his watch, and said, "Comrades from the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee will be arriving soon; let’s wait for them here before they come."
