Official Career Storm-Chapter 1423

In Li Xing's account, everything was done by Chen Peng and Luo Yaowen, and it had nothing to do with him.

He portrayed himself as an innocent lily, insisting that he was forced from the beginning to the end.

Song Guanchao didn't interrupt, he waited quietly for him to finish, then said, "Li Xing, you're not being honest."

Li Xing concealed his panic and stubbornly said, "Everything I said is true."

Song Guanchao chuckled lightly, "If you don't want to talk, then don't. Have a good rest."

After speaking, he and Liang Jiajia stood up and left.

Li Xing wanted to call him back but hesitated when the words reached his lips.

He still harbored a bit of luck in his heart.

Leaving the interrogation room, Liang Jiajia asked, "Do you want to interrogate Luo Yaowen?"

"Yes, let's give it a try."

Song Guanchao didn't want to waste time, hoping to resolve everything tonight.

Opening the interrogation room next door, Luo Yaowen immediately looked up.

Although mentally exhausted, due to the incident, Luo Yaowen couldn't sleep at all.

Song Guanchao came over and glanced at him, "Director Luo, do you want to take a nap? I see you're not in good shape."

Luo Yaowen's eyes were bloodshot, and he spat venomously, "I want to see Secretary Zhou!"

"Sorry, your request cannot be fulfilled."

"You are currently a suspect and are being interrogated by the police. Secretary Zhou has no authority to intervene."

Song Guanchao pulled out a chair, sat down, and said, "By the way, let me tell you some good news."

"We just brought Li Xing back."

"Impossible!"

Luo Yaowen's pupils contracted, thinking he was being deceived and tested!

Song Guanchao directly reported the location of the abandoned school where Li Xing was held captive.

Hearing this place, Luo Yaowen's sliver of luck shattered instantly.

"Additionally,"

Song Guanchao tapped the table, "The gold you stole is also at this school, right?"

"..." Luo Yaowen pressed his lips tightly, saying nothing, filled with despair.

Song Guanchao continued, "Li Xing has already explained the whole process. The charges against you are quite numerous now."

"Theft, intentional murder, and as a public official, violating the law knowingly, which worsens the sentence."

"I specifically checked the legal provisions, Director Luo; do you want to guess what your sentence will be?"

"Life imprisonment as a start."

Song Guanchao counted out his crimes on his fingers one by one.

Luo Yaowen's mental state was on the brink of collapse.

"Forget it, let's not interrogate any more tonight; have a good rest."

"When you make up your mind, confess yourself. If you don't want to confess, just endure it. In any case, the evidence is solid, and a confession isn't very important."

Song Guanchao smiled slightly and left with Liang Jiajia.

Leaving the City Bureau, as they got in the car, Liang Jiajia eyed him strangely.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Noticing her gaze, Song Guanchao touched his face, "Is there something on my face?"

Liang Jiajia pursed her lips, "I just think you're very good at convincing people."

Song Guanchao laughed, "Isn't this basic interrogation operations?"

The easiest way to extract useful information from them is to mess with their mindset, make them feel like the police already have all the evidence.

Whether they admit it or not is useless.

"Let's go home."

...

Early the next morning,

Song Guanchao and Liang Jiajia arrived at the City Bureau early, and Liang Jianfeng called him into the office.

Song Guanchao reported the details of the case, finally saying, "I'll go with Jiajia to find the gold later."

Liang Jianfeng said, "Take Captain Lu with you."

"Why take him?"

He was thinking of going to the abandoned school with Liang Jiajia for some intimacy.

Liang Jianfeng said, "If only the two of you go, people will gossip."

Song Guanchao understood his meaning.

Tracing stolen goods requires several people on-site.

If there's only one person, no matter how much gold you bring back, people will suspect whether you privately kept some.

As the saying goes, one person is selfish, two people are public.

But even with two people, there is still that risk.

Moreover, he and Liang Jiajia were in a romantic relationship.

Although others did not know, those who did were not few.

"Okay, I got it."

Song Guanchao said, "Once we find the gold and come back, I'll report to Secretary Zhou at the City Committee."

Zhou Zheng still didn't know that Luo Yaowen had been caught; this burden couldn't be placed on Liang Jianfeng.

Leaving the office, Song Guanchao found Captain Lu.

Knowing that it was to recover stolen goods, Captain Lu said, "I'll arrange a few people to go with you."

"Okay."

A few moments later, five policemen from the criminal police team came over.

The seven of them took three cars and arrived at the abandoned school at ten thirty in the morning.

The seven split into two teams and began searching for the gold.

Half an hour later, they found it.

The gold was packed in suitcases, three full 24-inch ones.

Various gold jewelry filled to the brim, making several policemen somewhat tempted.

Greed is part of human nature; the difference lies in whether one can restrain it or not.

At noon, they returned to the City Bureau with the stolen goods.

After counting the stolen goods, they sealed them up. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Song Guanchao said, "Captain Lu, have someone contact those gold shops."

"Yes." Captain Lu said, "I'll arrange it later."

At this moment, Captain Lu's phone rang.

"Okay, I know."

Hanging up the phone, Captain Lu looked up, "Li Xing confessed."

Song Guanchao smiled, "I'll leave the rest to you, Captain Lu. I'll go to the City Committee to report to Secretary Zhou later."

Captain Lu had heard from Liang Jianfeng that Zhou Zheng originally planned to suppress the matter.

So, he knew that when Song Guanchao went to the City Committee, Secretary Zhou would definitely lose his temper.

He admired Song Guanchao; this kid matched his taste.

"Eat something before you go." Captain Lu said, "Let's go, take you to eat at the canteen."

"Sure, let's eat before going."

While having lunch, Song Guanchao's phone rang, and when he saw the caller, he was quite surprised.

It was actually Jiang Yiren calling.

He held the phone to his ear with his left hand, "What's up?"

"Are you busy tonight?"

"Probably not busy. Why, have you come to the Provincial City?"

"Yes." Jiang Yiren said, "If you're not busy, I'll treat you to dinner."

Song Guanchao's eyes shifted; if someone else were inviting him, he might suspect they had a favor to ask of him.

But Jiang Yiren might really be inviting him for a simple meal.

"Alright, set the place and send it to me."

After eating, Song Guanchao headed to the City Committee.

On the way, he called Wu Qiangwei, telling her he was heading to the City Committee and giving her a heads-up.

At one in the afternoon, Song Guanchao arrived at the City Committee.

"Secretary Pan, is Secretary Zhou busy?" Song Guanchao smiled.

Secretary Pan said, "Secretary Zhou is resting. If it's nothing urgent, come back after two."

Song Guanchao said, "It's quite important, please let Secretary Pan know."

Secretary Pan frowned slightly, feeling that Song Guanchao was a bit insensible.

Already mentioned that he's resting, don't you understand human language?

As a director of the City Government, what important matters could you have?

Despite his displeasure, since Song Guanchao had said this much, it was hard for him to refuse.

Showing slight discontent, he got up to knock on the door.
