Chapter 309: Chapter 305: Dual Regulation Investigation_1
“Third Brother, they’re closing in. What should we do? They’re pincering us—quite a ruthless move. It seems they are intent on killing us,” Gao Wei said anxiously. The police were completely in the dark. In their eyes, he and his comrades were not members of an investigation team, but fully-fledged robbers. Their audacity knew no bounds, holding the station’s police officers hostage like desperate criminals.
While the leaders on the front line of Dameng County’s legal battle were bootlickers, they had some competent subordinates. For example, Tang Yutian, a nickel and dime graduate, was a highly professional police officer.
Feng Dajun might be domineering, but he wasn’t stupid. The Public Security Bureau’s affairs had to be dealt with by someone. Those who were truly skilled and learned were naturally the best for the job.
At this moment, the main attacking forces under the building were mainly police officers of strong military quality. Some were former reconnaissance soldiers transferred to local authorities. Some were from police academy backgrounds. They all had impressive skills.
Through a slit in the curtain, Nie Zhenbang smirked. These men were covering each other, coordinating, and moving in an orderly manner. They were clearly layered, not incredibly sharp, but at least they were tactically competent. Right now, if it was Nie, Qin Lang, and that punk Xiong Changgui inside, these guys—even the elite troops of Ludong Province Military Region—would be futile.
At this point, Nie Zhenbang had to be careful and asked solemnly, “Wei Zi, have you used a gun before?”
Gao Wei was taken aback, then nodded, “I have. When I was in Jingcheng, there was an indoor shooting range in Great Tang. Xing Long, Bin, and a few others went there to experience it. I fired a few shots.”
Nie Zhenbang was resolute at this moment. He still had ten iron nails in his hand—they were as useful as a gun. He promptly tossed his gun to Gao Wei and said gravely, “Wei Zi, if your life is threatened, open fire. Leave the rest to me.”
After he spoke, Nie Zhenbang’s ears perked up. Suddenly, he leapt to the side of the glass window. He seemed to be counting under his breath. A few moments later, there was a rustling noise from the window. Just as a bump appeared in the curtain, Nie Zhenbang acted swiftly, grabbed the police officer’s wrist and caused the gun to fall to the floor. Nie Zhenbang looked at this person, presented his work badge and said in a low voice, “Don’t resist. I don’t want to hurt people.”
As soon as his voice fell, gunshots sounded from outside. Bullets pierced through the windows and hit the walls. The people below, unaware of the situation inside, began suppressing fire.
At this moment, He Weimao’s car had just entered Dameng County, and the silent night was broken by the sound of gunfire coming from the northwest.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao straightened up instantly, and He Weimao’s face tightened. If something happened to the Central Discipline Inspection Committee’s investigation team, it would spell disaster. He Weimao ordered solemnly, “Sound the alarm and head towards Car Road.”
At this moment, Feng Dajun was shouting in frustration at the foot of the building: “What…what…what the hell are you all doing? You can’t even handle two bandits. I’m giving you ten minutes to get in there, kill them at all costs. If you can’t do it, pack up your things and get the hell out. The Public Security Bureau doesn’t need idiots.”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of alarms came from outside, and three off-road vehicles parked by the roadside, which made all the police officers from Dameng County freeze.
Next to Feng Dajun, the executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau looked at the car and came forward to whisper, “Director Feng, these are military vehicles from the Dongmeng Military Sub-district. It seems the whole region has been alarmed.”
The first to step out of the car was He Weimao. Immediately after that, Fan Mengshui, Secretary of the Dongmeng District Disciplinary Committee, and Yang Gang, Deputy Commander of the Dongmeng Military Sub-region, got out of the car one after another.
Fan Mengshui looked at Feng Dajun. His gaze was stern, his expression gloomy, and furiously said, “Feng Dajun, what the hell are you doing? Shooting so recklessly in the middle of the night. If you fired a missile and accidentally hurt the surrounding residents, could you bear the responsibility? Call off your troops immediately.”
Upon seeing Fan Mengshui, Feng Dajun somewhat understood. That’s why his cousin Feng Dabiao gave him a death order to kill the people inside, ready to leave no evidence or counterproof. They wanted to eliminate this one level, then destroy all evidence. By the time they would investigate, it would be too late.
Then, Feng Dajun quickly said, “Reporting to Secretary Fan, there are three robbers in the station who have taken our comrade Fu Yingcheng, director of the Car Road Police Station, hostage. We are organizing police manpower for a full-scale rescue.”
He Weimao’s face changed; these people’s ability to distort the truth was really too strong. Even in this situation, they could still speak such lofty words. However, the credibility of the Central Disciplinary Committee had to be maintained. If it got out that the staff of the Central Disciplinary Committee had become hostage-taking criminals, that would be a catastrophe. Immediately, He Weimao’s face darkened, and he roared, “What criminals! Did you question their identities? Did you give them a chance to explain themselves? Hmph, it seems to me that they had no other choice. Immediately cease all operations. Everyone, surrender your weapons and stand by here. They are not any criminals, they are the task force from the Central Disciplinary Committee. It was fortunate that our superiors were sharp, otherwise, you would have caused a great disaster.”
As He Weimao spoke, the responsibility shifted to Dameng County, and the nature of the situation morphed into subordinates intentionally ignoring identities.
Although the Ludong Province Disciplinary Committee was extremely dissatisfied with the arrangement of the Central Disciplinary Committee, especially the secretary of Ludong Province Disciplinary Committee, who felt that the Central Disciplinary Committee was making a fuss over a minor issue. But discontented as they were, they still had to maintain the authority and respect of their superiors. If it was revealed that the undercover group of the Central Disciplinary Committee was mistaken as criminals, the Central Disciplinary Committee would lose all face.
Feng Dajun’s expression changed, even though it was clear that the people who came with Fan Mengshui must be of extraordinary status. But upon hearing this, Feng Dajun couldn’t help but ask: “Excuse me, you are…”
Yang Gang walked up and angrily declared, “Feng Dajun, watch your tone, this is Director He of the Third Division of the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee. How dare you speak like that.”
Then, Yang Gang stepped forward, scanned the crowd, and ordered sternly, “I am Yang Gang, deputy commander of the Dongmeng District Military Division, I order, everyone immediately disband.”
As Yang Gang’s orders came down, soldiers from the Dameng County Armed Department stationed in Dameng County had also arrived. Two military vehicles were parked aside, fully armed soldiers with loaded rifles jumped down from them. This display of force was only to be expected. If the people of the Dameng County Public Security Bureau dared to make a move, they would face serious consequences.
Seeing all this from the upper floor, Nie Zhenbang let out a smile, then turned to Old Zheng and Wei Zi, and said, “Old Zheng, Wei Zi, pack up, our comrades from the Ludong Province Disciplinary Committee are here. Take this opportunity, while Feng Dabiao is still taken aback to do the Double Discipline on him immediately. Let’s start the public investigation immediately.”
Under the stare of the fearsome soldiers, police officers from the Dameng County Public Security Bureau gradually withdrew, standing nearby, waiting for their next instructions.
At the same time, Nie Zhenbang and his companions came out. Seeing He Weimao and others, Nie Zhenbang didn’t wait for them to speak. He stepped forward with a smile on his face, stretched out both hands, seeming very enthusiastic while shaking hands with He Weimao, “You must be the comrades from Ludong Province Disciplinary Committee, let me introduce myself, I am Nie Zhenbang, the standing deputy director of the Fifth Division of the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee. This time, we must thank you. If you hadn’t arrived just in time, we probably would have been in trouble.”
Having known Nie Zhenbang’s identity, He Weimao cooled down his original anger, and replied with a smile, “Director Nie, don’t be courteous. You are our superior leader, supporting your work is our unavoidable duty. We were late in arriving, causing some panic among the leaders, that’s our responsibility. He Weimao, director of the Third Disciplinary Inspection Division of Ludong Province Disciplinary Committee. Our Secretary Huang has instructed us to fully cooperate with the work of the superior leaders. We will thoroughly investigate the issues in Dameng County.”
Nie Zhenbang also laughed at this moment, saying, “Director He, I really feel sorry. We also had no choice but to proceed undercover. The assignment on Dameng County case was directly given by secretary Ouyang Xia. We have to strictly execute it. I’ll invite Director He for a drink after this.”
Then, under the introduction of He Weimao, Nie Zhenbang shook hands with Fan Mengshui, the secretary of Dongmeng District’s Disciplinary Committee, along with deputy commander Yang Gang.
At that moment, He Weimao began to contemplate. He never expected that this case was personally supervised by Ouyang Xia. As an employee of the Disciplinary Committee, he knew very well who Ouyang Xia was, the first deputy secretary of the Central Disciplinary Committee, a bona fide high-level official. Given this, He Weimao quickly adjusted his plans. This time, he has to fully collaborate with the Central Disciplinary Committee’s team; otherwise, Ouyang Xia’s fury is not something to be taken lightly.
After the pleasantries, Nie Zhenbang decided to get to the point, “Director He, Secretary Fan. Eight days ago, we conducted the first round of undercover investigation, and we have obtained some evidence. Based on the leads provided by the whistleblower, we can confirm now. Feng Tianbao, the son of Feng Dabiao, the secretary of Dameng County Committee, is suspected of rape, intentional homicide, intentional injury, and organization of mafia-like gangs. At the same time, Feng Dajun, Feng Dabiao, and others are suspected of using their official positions for their relatives’ benefits. I suggest. Immediately implement the Double Discipline on Feng Dabiao, and other members of the Dameng County committee.”
He Weimao and Fan Mengshui glanced at each other. The investigation has advanced to this stage. There was no further need for investigation and evidence collection; it was inevitable to proceed with the procedure. However, both of them hadn’t expected Nie Zhenbang to be so decisive in launching the operation that night.
But right now, Nie Zhenbang represents the Central Disciplinary Committee, the central leadership. Immediately, He Weimao nodded and said, “Alright, we will proceed as Director Nie instructs.”
By now, the staff Nie Zhenbang brought with him had all arrived. With the addition of some under He Weimao, they had enough manpower. Nie Zhenbang sufficed himself without further ado, he immediately made the arrangements, “Director He, I suggest this. I will personally go to Feng Dabiao, with Director Gao and one of our members. The others split up into groups. Carry out the double discipline on other involved officials simultaneously. The matter of the venue, I would like to ask Commander Yang to help out.”
PS: The third release, this is an advance chapter. Just came back, went back to my old home in the afternoon. The house there needs some renovation. Still, the old rule, if we could stay in the top five by the end of the month, there will be a massive release. If we make it to the top six, a small release. Brothers and sisters, it all depends on you now. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to come to qidian.com to vote and recommend. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
