453: Chapter 453 The Massacre of the Entire Family

Only a few days after arresting Min Yuanliang and the others, a major event occurred in Dongjiang City.

In the morning, just after finishing a leadership meeting to discuss several agenda items, Qin Chuan had just sat down in his office when his phone began to vibrate.

He took it out and saw it was a call from Wei Xinglong.

He hadn't seen this guy for a while. He heard that he was doing well at the Criminal Investigation Bureau, having solved several major cases in succession and arrested quite a few wanted criminals. Not long ago, he even received an individual third-class merit award.

"Xinglong, how have you been lately?"

Although the two of them hadn't met for some time, their contact had never been broken, whether through WeChat or phone calls.

"Secretary Qin, hello." Wei Xinglong spoke with a touch of politeness and respect. His respect for Qin Chuan came from the heart, and he had always considered himself a subordinate, even though Qin Chuan had already left the Criminal Investigation Bureau.

"There is a matter that I feel it is necessary to report to you in advance. Two heinous Class A wanted criminals have already entered Jiangnan Province. According to the intelligence we have gathered, it is very likely that they will enter Dongjiang City..."

After hearing the report, Qin Chuan took the matter completely seriously.

These were Class A wanted criminals, and there were two of them.

According to Wei Xinglong's report, Qin Chuan knew that these two men were called Liu Biao and Gao Dalong. Years ago, they had committed every possible evil in the country—murder, robbery, drug trafficking—and later, unable to stay, they fled to Southeast Asia.

There, their hands were also stained with blood, and they committed many evil deeds. They were wanted by Interpol, and a few days ago, for unknown reasons, they secretly returned to the country.

Both men were experts, the kind with incredibly formidable skills; otherwise, they wouldn't have avoided capture for so many years, and both were carrying firearms.

After finishing the call with Wei Xinglong, Qin Chuan took the matter completely seriously, while simultaneously praying that these two guys would not kill anyone within the borders of Dongjiang City; otherwise, it would be a major incident.

Through the system, Qin Chuan checked the information on the two men, simply printed it out using his computer, and sat in his office chair to read it carefully.

As expected of the system, the information was very detailed.

After reading it, Qin Chuan let out a long sigh. These two men truly had blood-stained hands; each of them had at least a dozen lives on their conscience, including women and children.

He also discovered a piece of information: Liu Biao had a distant female cousin who married into a place in Ningjiang County called Zhushan Village. When they were young, Liu Biao and this cousin had a very good relationship, the kind that went beyond just male and female relations.

When Qin Chuan saw this piece of information in the files, he wondered in his heart whether Liu Biao and his companion's return to the country and entry into Dongjiang City might be related to this.

While he was looking at these materials, a knock sounded outside his office door, and Secretary Zhang Dong walked in with a grave expression.

Seeing him like this, Qin Chuan guessed that it was likely related to the two Class A wanted criminals, so he quickly asked, "Comrade Secretary Zhang Dong, what is the matter!"

Secretary Zhang Dong reported, "We just received a notice from the Provincial Public Security Department that two Class A wanted criminals named Liu Biao and Gao Dalong may have already entered our Dongjiang City..."

He briefly reported the situation and then reminded him, "Secretary, this is a major matter, and it poses a huge threat to the safety of the people and their property."

Qin Chuan asked, "Then what do you plan to do?"

Professional people do professional things.

Qin Chuan would not interfere with the specifics of how they went about it; he was just listening to their plans and schemes.

Secretary Zhang Dong said, "Before coming to report to you, we held a special emergency meeting, and a large number of comrades have already been arranged..."

He briefly reported the situation once more.

Qin Chuan nodded, "You must capture these two people as soon as possible, or kill them. Their existence poses too great a threat to the common people of Dongjiang."

While the two were discussing this matter, Secretary Zhang Dong's phone rang urgently.

As soon as the call connected, Cheng Yuan's anxious voice came through, "Leader, we just received a report that a family annihilation case has occurred in Zhushan Village of Ningjiang County. A family of seven, from an old woman over eighty years old down to a child just over one year old, have all been brutally killed!"

What! A family annihilation case! A family of seven, they didn't even spare a child over a year old!

Secretary Zhang Dong's expression changed. In all the years he had been in office, such a serious criminal case had never occurred; this was the first time.

The nature of such an incident was extremely vile!

"Cheng Yuan, you lead the team yourself and go to the crime scene immediately!"

"Leader, I have already set off, and I am calling you from the car now!"

After hanging up the phone, Secretary Zhang Dong looked grave and said slowly, "Secretary Qin, a family annihilation case has occurred in Zhushan Village, Ningjiang County. A family of seven has been killed, and not a single one was spared."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan was shocked.

"This family annihilation case is likely related to the two Class A wanted criminals who fled to our Dongjiang City; there is an 80% chance they committed the crime."

"Oh." Secretary Zhang Dong looked at Qin Chuan, wondering in his heart why Secretary Qin was so certain. Although he had suspicions, he was not entirely sure.

Qin Chuan handed the information he had just printed out about these two Class A wanted criminals to Secretary Zhang Dong, "There is a point in this information: Liu Biao has a distant female cousin who married into Zhushan Village many years ago. When they were young, Liu Biao and this cousin had a very good relationship."

Taking the two documents and flipping through them briefly, seeing how detailed they were, Secretary Zhang Dong secretly admired him. Secretary Qin was impressive to be able to obtain such detailed information.

With this information, it would be a great help; it would be of great assistance in understanding these two Class A wanted criminals.

Secretary Zhang Dong subconsciously assumed that it must have been the comrades from the Criminal Investigation Bureau who gave it to Secretary Qin, because he knew that Secretary Qin had worked at the Criminal Investigation Bureau for a period of time.

With such a major family annihilation case occurring, Secretary Zhang Dong could not sit still either. He stood up and said, "Secretary, I want to go to Zhushan Village personally."

Qin Chuan also stood up and said, "Let's go, we will go together."

Logically speaking, as the Municipal Party Secretary, there was no need for him to go to the crime scene in person, so why did Qin Chuan want to go personally?

Because as long as he participated in this case, he would be linked to the two Class A wanted criminals, and the system might push the latest information about these two wanted criminals.

According to his understanding of the system, it did not push relevant information for things unrelated to him. If he went to the crime scene and inquired about this family annihilation case, the system would likely push the information.

Secretary Zhang Dong was slightly stunned, not expecting Secretary Qin to take it so seriously that he was prepared to go to the scene in person. After coming to his senses, he immediately said, "Okay, then let's go together."

Soon, a total of three cars set off. The leader was a police car carrying several leaders from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the middle one was the Municipal Party Committee's number one car, and following behind was Secretary Zhang Dong's car.

As a major tourist city, the traffic conditions in Dongjiang City were still quite good; it had long achieved the goal of connecting every village with cement or asphalt roads. The road conditions along the way were very good. In about an hour or so, Qin Chuan arrived at Zhushan Village.

This was a small mountain village located at the foot of a mountain, with a clear stream in front of the village and the mountain covered in lush green moso bamboo. In stark contrast to this beautiful landscape, many people had come here, breaking the tranquility of the mountain village.
