392: Chapter 392 Blocking the Road and Crying Out for Justice

Since he had come to Dongzhou City, there was no need to rush back to the capital immediately.

Hearing that Qin Chuan had arrived in Dongzhou City, many friends working in Dongzhou called him one after another, or came directly to meet him.

At everyone's enthusiastic invitation, Qin Chuan made a trip to Sanjiang County and stayed there for one night.

Staying in Dongzhou for an extra two days was, on one hand, to gather with friends, and on the other, to keep an eye on the progress of the Sun Tingting case.

However...

Qin Chuan himself had not expected that a situation of someone blocking the road to cry for justice would actually occur.

It happened on a busy street in the urban area of Dongzhou.

Qin Chuan had just had a good gathering with everyone in Sanjiang County and returned to Dongzhou City not long ago, strolling down a pedestrian street in Dongzhou City with Secretary Wei Jiangnan and Wei Xinglong following behind him.

Suddenly, a man rushed in front of Qin Chuan, fell to his knees with a 'thud', and cried out, "Secretary Qin, please uphold justice for me, please redress my grievance!"

Wei Xinglong reacted very quickly!

Thinking someone was threatening Qin Chuan, he took a step forward to block in front of Qin Chuan, his right hand already on his service weapon.

Qin Chuan signaled for him not to be too nervous.

Because he saw at a glance that the man's hands had been severed at the wrists; he couldn't be an assassin, nor could he pose a threat to him.

Using both hands to help the man up from the ground, Qin Chuan said in a calm tone, "Whatever the matter is, tell me slowly, there is no need to rush."

Because this was a busy downtown area, a pedestrian street, quite a few people soon gathered around.

A man with both hands severed at the wrists kneeling to cry for justice was the most eye-catching sight, and soon, a crowd formed, three layers deep inside and outside.

"It looks like there really is a grievance, look at his hands, they're both cut off!"

"I think I recognize that man, it happened a year ago, someone cut off his hands in the middle of the street!"

"Let's go, let's go, don't watch, be careful not to bring trouble upon yourself!"

Some people who knew a bit of the inside story showed expressions of fear and left one after another; only those who didn't know the inside story remained to watch.

Qin Chuan seeing that there were many onlookers and some people were already taking pictures with their phones, the scene was chaotic, and it was certainly not the place to talk.

"Brother, this is not the place to talk. If you trust me, let's go to that teahouse nearby and have a good talk."

The man with the severed wrists did not hesitate and nodded, saying, "Okay, that works."

The group went to this teahouse, followed by many people, but Wei Xinglong and Secretary Wei Jiangnan did a good job, standing at the teahouse entrance to block them.

"Everyone, please don't follow us inside."

The teahouse owner and waiters were slightly startled to see so many people and also politely persuaded the onlookers at the entrance.

Qin Chuan asked for a private room so it would be more private, and after sitting down, he said, "It seems you already know our identities, so I won't introduce myself. Tell me, what grievance do you have that you need me to preside over?"

The man with severed wrists nodded, "Yes, I know you are leaders from the Criminal Investigation Bureau. If you were local leaders in Dongzhou, I would probably be tired of living if I blocked you to cry for justice."

"Oh."

Qin Chuan became interested. In the few years since he left Dongzhou City, had it become like this now?

The man with severed wrists began to recount his ordeal.

His name is Yan Ling. He was originally the owner of a small company with some family wealth. About a year ago, he was eating at a restaurant with friends. The other party had probably drunk quite a bit of alcohol and came over to pick a fight for no reason.

Yan Ling felt that he also had some strength and status, with a net worth of several million to ten million, and was not afraid of the young man coming to pick a fight, so the two sides got into a conflict.

Who would have known that the young man was no simple person; he was a core subordinate of Huang Mingyuan, the boss of the Dongzhou City underworld.

The result was self-evident.

The other party was extremely arrogant, not only beating Yan Ling and his friends violently but also cutting off his hands at the wrists on the spot.

The police arrived late, investigated casually, and ruled it as a mutual fight.

How could this work? Yan Ling certainly couldn't accept it, so he hired a lawyer and prepared to sue in court. But before the trial even began, his family's safety was threatened, and his seven-year-old son had one of his ears cut off by the other party.

After being threatened and warned, Yan Ling was scared, worried about endangering his family. But the other party did not just give up like that; they easily brought his company down without any effort and sent people to threaten him again at his home.

Yan Ling completely gave up, until he heard from a friend that leaders from the Criminal Investigation Bureau had arrived in Dongzhou City to handle the Sun Tingting case. This gave him hope, and that was why he took the risk to come and kneel to cry for justice.

After listening, Qin Chuan felt heavy-hearted.

Dongzhou had actually become this dark. It seemed that some people really were covering the sky with one hand. Secretary Li Haibo could not continue to exist; he had to be taken down.

"Comrade Yan Ling, rest assured, we will definitely uphold justice for you in your case."

Immediately, Yan Ling was moved to tears and almost knelt down again.

Qin Chuan hurriedly held him up, then asked him some more questions.

Just as he had asked enough, there was a knock on the door outside. Before Qin Chuan gave permission, the people outside pushed the door open and entered.

It was surprisingly three police officers. Judging by the rank of the leader, he should be a chief or deputy chief of a certain sub-bureau, not a low rank.

After pushing the door open and entering, the leading policeman had a smile on his face, "Qin Chuan, hello. We are from the Dong District Sub-bureau. Do not listen to this guy's nonsense."

Qin Chuan looked at this policeman meaningfully and then said, "Oh, then what exactly is the matter?"

This sub-bureau chief explained the matter simply, which was an entirely different version.

According to him, Yan Ling and his friends were drunk and started the fight first; the others were acting in self-defense, and the two sides were at most involved in a mutual fight.

After listening, Qin Chuan sneered in his heart.

Truly telling lies with eyes wide open. Fortunately, he had a system, and with a casual check, he knew the details of the matter.

"Chief Qian, is it? Is that really the case? But the victim just said an entirely different version."

"Qin Chuan, he is talking nonsense. We have police dispatch records and investigation records, all in black and white, clear and distinct. I suggest you go to our sub-bureau to take a look at these things, and don't listen to one person's side of the story."

Qin Chuan felt a slight anger in his heart, "Are you teaching me how to do my job?"

A powerful aura emanated from him, giving people a sense of dignified pressure.

Chief Qian's mindset trembled slightly; he was a bit scared and hurriedly said, "No, I wouldn't dare."

Qin Chuan hummed slightly, "Chief Qian, I require you to reinvestigate this matter and give the victim justice."

Although he knew they wouldn't investigate, and even if they did re-investigate, it wouldn't change the outcome, he still had to say it.

He mainly wanted to see what tricks these people would play. If he was dissatisfied with the investigation results, he could legitimately initiate an investigation from another jurisdiction.

"Yes, yes." Chief Qian immediately nodded, "We will restart the investigation immediately."
