351: Chapter 351 So young, could she have gotten this position through connections?

A while later, the phone rang.

Picking it up, he saw it was a call from Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin. He sighed slightly, guessing that Bureau Chief Gu was likely asking about the progress of the case.

What must come will come. Director Du Qingbo braced himself and answered the call, "Bureau Chief Gu, do you have any instructions?"

"Comrade Qingbo, I have good news for you. Liu Donghai has confessed everything. We have obtained many important clues. I am coming to Guangdong Province immediately; we will discuss everything in detail when we meet."

What!

Director Du Qingbo was stunned for a moment, then felt as if he had been struck by a huge surprise. He became quite energized, "Really? That's great! We welcome Bureau Chief Gu's arrival!"

After finishing the call, his entire demeanor changed. Just a moment ago, he had been furious, berating his subordinates mercilessly, but now he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

"Comrades, I have good news to share with everyone. Liu Donghai has confessed everything. The Criminal Investigation Bureau has already obtained a large amount of clues, and Comrade Gu Hanlin is on his way to our Guangdong Province."

Originally dejected, like eggplants wilted by frost, these subordinates instantly came back to life upon hearing this monumental good news.

"As expected of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, amazing, truly amazing!"

"I wonder which expert managed to pry Liu Donghai's mouth open; I would love to meet them!"

"This is a true expert. Admirable, truly admirable!"

"Director Du, will this expert be coming with Bureau Chief Gu and the others?"

"..."

Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin moved quickly, and a few hours later, he appeared at the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department.

Director Du Qingbo led a group of people to welcome him.

"Bureau Chief Gu, welcome, welcome!"

The two shook hands warmly, and then Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin introduced, "Comrade Qingbo, come, let me introduce you. This is the Deputy Party Secretary of our Criminal Investigation Bureau, Comrade Qin Chuan!"

Many people had already noticed Qin Chuan.

Because Qin Chuan and Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin had arrived in the same car, gotten out of the back seat together, and were walking over almost side-by-side.

At first, some thought this young man was Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin's secretary, but many people knew his secretary. Furthermore, if he were the secretary, he should have been sitting in the passenger seat, not in the back seat with the leader.

If he were a secretary, he wouldn't be walking almost shoulder-to-shoulder with the leader. All signs indicated that this young man's identity was not simple.

They never expected that he was the Deputy Party Secretary of the Criminal Investigation Bureau.

Such a young Deputy Party Secretary; he looked to be at most thirty years old.

As the Director of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department, Director Du Qingbo had seen his fair share of big storms, but he was still slightly stunned for a moment before reacting, then enthusiastically took the initiative to shake hands with Qin Chuan.

Having reached his position, he knew many things. For someone so young to reach that position, their background was likely not simple. Such a person was exactly who he needed to befriend.

Qin Chuan shook hands with the comrades of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department one by one.

Those wearing white shirts were relatively enthusiastic, while some wearing blue shirts, who were slightly lower in rank, were much more indifferent in their reactions.

Some might even be thinking that he must be someone with connections, having reached that position not through ability, but through relationships and background.

Especially Wei Xinglong, a captain of a certain detachment under the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department. He was a First-Class Police Inspector in his thirties, wearing a blue police uniform shirt.

When he shook hands with Qin Chuan, he only did so briefly, his eyes showing a very indifferent reaction, lacking the excitement others displayed when shaking hands with a leader.

Qin Chuan certainly didn't take it to heart, acting as if he hadn't noticed. He really didn't care at all how others viewed him.

After some polite exchanges, everyone immediately got down to business, sitting down in a conference room that had been prepared in advance.

First, a comrade from the Criminal Investigation Bureau introduced the situation learned from Lin Wenxin. Furthermore, this comrade responsible for the briefing began with an expression of admiration.

"Many of our interrogation experts were unable to pry Lin Wenxin's mouth open. Secretary Qin Chuan is truly amazing; with just a few words, he caused Lin Wenxin's psychological defenses to collapse, and then he poured out everything he knew like beans spilling from a bamboo tube."

Many gazes fell upon Qin Chuan.

There was admiration, confusion, and a few people who seemed somewhat skeptical.

Holding a desire to befriend him, Director Du Qingbo said, "Secretary Qin, amazing. Being able to pry open Lin Wenxin's mouth—after this case is solved, you will have made a great contribution."

Qin Chuan smiled modestly, "Luck, just luck. Everyone interrogated him for so long that his psychological defenses were likely already on the verge of collapse. My few words were just the last straw that broke the camel's back."

"Comrade Qin Chuan, you are truly modest."

After chatting briefly like this, they got to the main topic. The comrade from the Criminal Investigation Bureau gave a very detailed introduction to the information and clues obtained from Lin Wenxin.

After listening, the eyes of the comrades from the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department lit up one by one.

Some who had originally appeared indifferent now looked at Qin Chuan with a different gaze, and Wei Xinglong was one of them.

Just a moment ago during the handshake, he had been somewhat indifferent, convinced in his heart that Qin Chuan was just a well-connected person who had climbed up based on his background. Now, however, there was a bit more curiosity and surprise.

Could I have been wrong? Does he really have some ability?

The situation briefing concluded, and everyone began to discuss the next steps of the operation.

They unanimously agreed to immediately arrest the two accomplices confessed by Lin Wenxin and close the net.

Long before arriving in Guangdong Province, Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin had not only told Director Du Qingbo that Lin Wenxin had confessed everything, but also mentioned the two key members, requesting that the Guangdong Province police immediately investigate, scout, set up surveillance, and make arrests if necessary.

Director Du Qingbo said, "There are two of them in total; we have already placed them under complete surveillance, and now we can close the net and make the arrests."

"Captain Wei, you lead the team personally to arrest Target Number One. Deputy Detachment Chief Liu, you lead the team to arrest Target Number Two."

"Remember, you must succeed. Absolutely do not let anyone run away again!"

Wei Xinglong and Deputy Detachment Chief Liu stood up and said in unison, "Yes, we guarantee we will complete the mission!"

Soon, several police cars drove low-key out of the Provincial Public Security Department compound, including two Special Police vehicles, to arrest those two targets.

As deputy department-level cadres, neither Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin nor Qin Chuan needed to charge to the front line; they could just wait for news at the Provincial Public Security Department.

About half an hour later, Director Du Qingbo's phone rang.

"Good, good, that's great!"

After saying "good" several times, he said in high spirits, "Comrade Hanlin, Comrade Qin Chuan, Wei Xinglong reports that they have successfully captured Target Number One and are already on the way back to the Provincial Public Security Department with the suspect."

Upon hearing this, Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin felt relieved, "Comrade Qingbo, you all did well. The efficiency is very high; you captured Target Number One in half an hour."

About a few minutes later, Director Du Qingbo's phone rang again.

Deputy Detachment Chief Liu reported that they had successfully captured Target Number Two and were preparing to escort the target back to the Provincial Public Security Department.
