Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 374 - 265 A Thousand Miles to Pick One_2

Han Yu asked, "Is that all?"

"He... not only did he not heed the advice, he also said they were my men. He claimed that falling to this state was all because of Shi Shengyong’s doing, that he wanted to find Shi Shengyong to seek revenge and also to vent his anger for me."

"What do you think?"

"Captain Xu, Xiao Han, since we’re not strangers here, I’ll speak the truth. It’s my own fault that I got demoted as a director, no one else is to blame. But Shi Shengyong is no good guy either. He took advantage of the situation, locked me up like a criminal for over half a month, interrogated me during the day and didn’t let me sleep at night. Who does he think he is? This is knowingly breaking the law!"

Later in the investigation into the whereabouts of the bullets, Old Shi gave this guy here a hard time.

Han Yu touched the corner of his mouth and pressed further, "So, you’re glad to see this happen?"

"No."

Feng Biguo hastily stubbed out his cigarette, speaking eagerly, "I’m a foolish official; I indeed did not accomplish my work well, but I still have the most basic principles of party discipline. Moreover, the superiors only removed me from my post and asked me to retire early, not expel me from the party. I am firmly against Huang Yueping’s desire to teach Shi Shengyong a lesson."

Han Yu said indifferently, "Firm opposition must not only be shown in attitude but also reflected in action."

Xu Mingyuan added coldly, "Failure to report when you know of the crime is a cover-up!"

"I... I had no choice."

"What do you mean you had no choice?"

"No matter what, he has worked under my command for so many years, I... I can’t betray him."

"Can’t betray? Old Feng, having spent so many years as the head of the security and police department, you should be aware of the seriousness of this matter. Failure to report when you know of the crime is a cover-up!"

"Director Feng, if I’m not wrong, your failure to report is not just simply because Huang Yueping was your old subordinate."

Han Yu paused, then reminded, "I can tell you clearly, we know more than you might think, and we wouldn’t have invited you here otherwise. This is your last chance. If you don’t tell us the truth now, don’t blame us for not treating you as an elder, not treating you as one of our own."

Thinking about their surveillance and tracking of Huang Yueping, Feng Biguo realized he had to tell the truth and after a long silence, with a pained expression, he said, "He threatened me."

"How did he threaten you?"

"Seeing that I was firmly opposed, he dredged up a bunch of things from the past, many of which I can’t even remember, and I’m not even sure if they ever happened. But he talked as if they were all true, saying that if I didn’t share his hatred for the enemy, he would report me."

"What past events, exactly? Be more specific."

...

As expected, Feng Biguo hadn’t missed any opportunity to make money over the years.

To become the squad leader, Huang Yueping had given him twenty thousand.

Now, Huang Yueping not only wanted the money he had given before back but even, on the pretext of helping him get revenge on Shi Shengyong, demanded another fifty thousand from him.

Being held by his collar just like Gu Datou, he found himself in a difficult position and thus wanted to fall back on the best plan of all thirty-six strategies—escape. He claimed to be visiting relatives in East Sea, but in reality, he was looking for a place where no one knew him to hide.

All in all, he was not only involved in a criminal case but also suspected of bribery and corruption.

Han Yu told the eldest disciple to watch over him and hurriedly went to Zhang Erxiao’s warehouse to call Director Yang.

Director Yang also had a "big brother" mobile phone and had instructed to report at any time. After waiting about twenty seconds, Director Yang’s voice came through the phone, "Salted Fish, what’s the matter?"

"Director Yang, Feng Biguo is aware of the situation and has been threatened by Huang Yueping just like Gu Datou. He’s dirty, and just from what he has confessed himself, the amount involved in bribery and corruption is up to hundreds of thousands."

"Where is he?"

"He’s in the conference room on the second floor of Bailong Port Passenger Pier."

"Where are you?"

"I’m at Zhang Erxiao’s grain and oil warehouse."

"This is the warehouse’s phone number?"

"Yes." freeweɓnovel-cøm

"Don’t go anywhere, I’ll call you back in a bit."

"Yes!"

Director Yang and Commissioner Ding had just accompanied the City Bureau leaders on an inspection of the Four Factory Police Station and were on their way to Southern City Police Station.

Considering that although Feng Biguo was not under the city’s jurisdiction, he was also not Linghai’s official and had economic problems involving suspected bribery and corruption which Linghai Disciplinary Committee couldn’t handle, it was necessary to report to the city. Director Yang immediately called Director Dong, who was accompanying Director Chen on the inspection.

Two minutes later, the vehicle procession slowly came to a stop.

Director Yang got out of the Santana, sprinted over, and climbed into Director Chen’s car.

Director Chen’s driver and Xiao Liu of the City Bureau’s Office Secretariat knew Director Yang had important information to report to Director Chen, and they quickly got out of the car to give them privacy.

Director Yang, knowing Director Chen was busy, briefed the situation concisely and thoughtfully added, "The Textile Bureau and Four Factory probably considered that if the investigation went deep, the impact would be adverse; they’ve already drawn a line under this matter. Nonetheless, that Huang security guard started making waves again.

He actually wants to retaliate against our police officers; we must not only intervene, but also strike back hard. But by doing this, they will certainly think we are persistent, that we want to dig up the past. Director Chen, how do you think we should handle this?"

It was common knowledge why the depth of the investigation was previously avoided—fear of a larger scandal.

Having understood the ins and outs of the situation, Director Chen coldly said, "Since Linghai Disciplinary Committee has no jurisdiction, then report it to the City Disciplinary Committee."

"Director Chen, our report might not be legitimate or appropriate."

"Let the City Bureau report it, I’ll call Secretary Wu."

"Thank you, Director Chen."

"Where is that Feng Biguo?"

"He’s with Salted Fish. Considering Feng Biguo was the Public Security Department director at Four Factory for many years and knows many officers from our bureau, and as the stolen gun from the Four Factory Public Security Department was also seized by Salted Fish, the party committee of the bureau has decided to hand this case over to Salted Fish and Major Case Captain Xu Mingyuan."
