393: Chapter 393 Li Haibo was taken away for investigation

After dismissing those few police officers with a few words.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Chuan picked up the phone and personally called the Provincial Public Security Department of Jiangnan Province, demanding they establish an investigation team to thoroughly investigate the incident where Yan Ling had both hands severed, as well as the organized crime forces in Dongzhou City.

However...

Qin Chuan had not expected the organized crime forces in Dongzhou City to be so rampant.

Only two or three hours had passed; the investigation team from the Provincial Public Security Department was still being formed and had not yet set out for Dongzhou City when a major incident occurred.

Qin Chuan was resting in his hotel room when a knock sounded at the door. Upon opening it, he saw Wei Xinglong standing outside.

"Xinglong, what is the matter?"

Wei Xinglong said with an angry tone, "Leader, some people in Dongzhou City are too crazy. They don't hold us in any regard at all; they are simply unscrupulous and lawless!"

"Don't rush, tell me slowly."

Wei Xinglong said, "Just a moment ago, Yan Ling was killed. He died a miserable death, with over thirty knife wounds on his body, and his ears and nose were cut off. He suffered inhuman torture and abuse before he died."

What!

Qin Chuan was slightly shocked, and then, a surge of anger rose in his heart.

He had only just cried out for justice and told his grievances to him—how long had it been!

It had barely been two or three hours, and he was found murdered in his hotel room, having suffered inhuman torture before death. Was this a demonstration of power against him, a challenge to him!

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go, we are going to the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee. I want to ask Secretary Li Haibo if Dongzhou is still under the Party's rule, whether he can manage social order in Dongzhou, and whether he can maintain social stability."

Bringing Wei Xinglong and Secretary Wei Jiangnan along, Qin Chuan, suppressing his anger, went directly to the office building of the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee.

At this moment, Secretary Li Haibo was on the phone, berating Huang Mingyuan.

"Do you have any brains at all? Qin Chuan just finished seeing Yan Ling, and you killed him. What will that man named Qin think..."

He gave him a harsh, head-on scolding.

Huang Mingyuan was the big boss of the underworld in Dongzhou City, but in front of Secretary Li Haibo, he was like a grandson, not daring to show even a hint of temper.

"Leader, I just found out about this matter too. It was all the people below who didn't know any better, which is why they did such a foolish thing..."

After apologizing, Huang Mingyuan said, "Rest assured, Leader, I will definitely clean up the mess and leave no clues behind."

Secretary Li Haibo hung up the phone furiously, his expression looking a bit ugly.

Sitting in his big boss chair, he took out a cigarette and lit it, smoking while thinking about how to handle this matter.

A while later, the office door was pushed open with a loud "bang."

Secretary Li Haibo felt a surge of anger. Damn it, who is it, not even knocking on the door.

Upon seeing that it was Qin Chuan who had pushed the door open and entered, he immediately swallowed his anger and put on a smiling face. "Qin Chuan, why are you here?"

Facing such a corrupt Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Qin Chuan did not give him a pleasant look and said directly, "Secretary Li Haibo, what kind of games are you playing!"

"Do you not hold our Criminal Investigation Bureau in any regard? Yan Ling was killed, and he suffered inhuman torture before death. I need an explanation from you!"

Although everyone was at the deputy department level, Qin Chuan had justice on his side and was a leader from the Criminal Investigation Bureau, so he completely adopted the tone and posture of a superior questioning a subordinate.

Although Secretary Li Haibo was unhappy, he dared not show it in the slightest. "Qin Chuan, I just learned about this matter as well. Please rest assured, we will definitely investigate the matter clearly and then report to you."

Although Secretary Li Haibo was acting submissive and his attitude was very good, Qin Chuan knew he was only like that on the surface; deep down, he was already furious and cursing.

Coming here this time, he was not prepared to give Secretary Li Haibo any face at all; before he was taken away for investigation, he wanted to scold him harshly to vent the frustration in his heart.

"Secretary Li Haibo, I have long heard that the rumors about you in the streets are not good—that you are corrupt and have all sorts of vices. It seems most of them are true!"

"Look at you, sitting in the position of the Municipal Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, while also serving as the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, yet you have turned social order into this. Someone dares to commit murder in a hotel room, and it's a torturous killing at that. It is too rampant..."

He scolded him fiercely, not giving him any face at all.

Since Secretary Li Haibo reached this position, when had he ever been scolded like this? Even provincial leaders had not done so.

Originally, he had kept his posture very low and was all smiles, but gradually his expression changed, and his face became much more serious.

"Comrade Qin Chuan, you are going a bit too far..."

Qin Chuan waved his hand to interrupt, "If scolding you a few times is going too far, if I were your direct superior, it wouldn't just be scolding you a few times, but removing you from your post."

Why did he dare to say that!

And to speak so severely, Qin Chuan had the confidence to do so. Detailed information regarding Secretary Li Haibo's corruption had already been submitted, and personnel from the higher-level Discipline Inspection Commission were coming immediately. At this point in time, they should be arriving at the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee soon.

Secretary Li Haibo obviously didn't know he was about to be finished. His face darkened, and he retorted tit-for-tat, not prepared to give Qin Chuan any face either, saying loudly, "Qin Chuan, if I give you face, you are a leader of the Criminal Investigation Bureau; if I don't give you face, you are nothing."

"If you have the ability, remove me from my post and arrest me! If you don't have that ability, shut your mouth!"

With no third person present, Secretary Li Haibo's speech became very ugly, completely tearing off the mask of civility.

Qin Chuan chuckled, a cold smile, "Secretary Li Haibo, you might not know yet, but you are suspected of serious corruption, acting as a protector for organized crime forces, and having a degenerate lifestyle. Comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Public Security Department have already arrived in Dongzhou City. You should pray for your own good fortune."

What!

He might not be very afraid of Qin Chuan, but he was afraid of the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission!

Hearing these words, his expression changed, and his momentum dropped instantly. "Comrade Qin Chuan, you are trying to scare me, right."

Just a moment ago, he had used Qin Chuan's name directly, but now he added the word "Comrade," and his tone had softened a lot.

Qin Chuan looked at him coldly, "He who commits his own evil cannot live. You should have thought long ago that this day would come. You still have a little time, so think carefully about how to explain your problems to the organization."

"No, it can't be, you are lying to me!"

Secretary Li Haibo reacted strongly, unable to accept this fact for a moment. He had been all-powerful in Dongzhou City, having connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world, and was high and mighty; how could he be willing to be taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission for investigation?

However, within two minutes, the Municipal Party Secretary personally led a group of people, including the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and leaders from the Provincial Public Security Department, as they walked in.

Seeing these people, Secretary Li Haibo knew that Qin Chuan had not lied, and immediately, he almost collapsed to the ground.

He knew his own problems; Secretary Li Haibo was clear that he deserved to be executed several times over.

Soon, the news spread throughout the official circles of Dongzhou City: Secretary Li Haibo had been taken away for investigation. Subsequently, Dongzhou City launched a multi-day crackdown on organized crime, and multiple organized crime forces were uprooted.

The political and legal system experienced a major upheaval, with many people being taken away for investigation, especially in the police system, which underwent almost a complete overhaul.
