Chapter 275 Dead End

"Send more people to protect Wu Tianliang? So suddenly?"

In the office, Xia Qing said with a hint of surprise.

Sitting opposite him, Qi Tongwei said in a deep voice:

"Yes, we received a notice from the Political and Legal Affairs Commission yesterday, instructing the department to send some police officers to Wu Tianliang's hospital room to ensure safety. They are to be there by 10 a.m. today."

Xia Qing stroked her chin, deep in thought.

Logically speaking, there's nothing wrong with the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's arrangements.

As Wu Tianliang is an important witness and is staying in the ICU, extra personnel have been assigned to protect him to prevent any criminals from taking advantage of him.

However, by drawing personnel from the Public Security Bureau, the Public Security Bureau will be able to closely monitor all aspects of Wu Tianliang's situation.

This is equivalent to Luo Jian relinquishing absolute control over Wu Tianliang.

What does Luo Jian mean?

Is this a signal of easing tensions?

Or was he intentionally making Wu Tianliang's situation public to everyone?

Xia Qing couldn't think of a reason for the time being, so he asked Qi Tongwei to arrange one or two absolutely loyal subordinates to report to Qi Tongwei at any time.

Qi Tongwei said:

"That's what I was thinking too. Since you don't think there's a problem, I'll go and do it."

Xia Qing nodded.

The police force from the Public Security Bureau joined Wu Tianliang's protection mission in the early hours of the following day.

An accident has occurred.

The doctor who was routinely checking Wu Tianliang's physical condition suddenly turned hostile on this day.

While installing the equipment on Wu Tianliang, he pulled out a sharp blade from the sleeve of his white coat and aimed it straight at Wu Tianliang's throat.

At that moment, Wu Tianliang was terrified, and his cries of pain echoed throughout the entire intensive care unit.

Fortunately, the police officers from the Public Security Bureau reacted quickly and subdued the assailant, disarming him and saving Wu Tianliang's life.

Subsequent investigations revealed...

This doctor had been instructed to do so.

To assassinate Wu Tianliang.

As for who assigned the task and who they contacted, the doctor wouldn't say, and no clues were found.

Such an event deeply affected Sha Ruijin.

In his view, the enemy was both rampant and mysterious.

To instruct a doctor who has dedicated many years to his profession to do such a life-threatening thing, and yet no clues can be found.

The enemy seemed to be everywhere.

Here, however, there was nowhere to retaliate.

Sha Ruijin immediately issued instructions to further strengthen security and to thoroughly search any person who approached.

They also requested that Luo Jian coordinate as soon as possible to initiate a second interrogation of Wu Tianliang.

Luo Jian agreed and then made another move.

The secret surveillance of Boss Qian was lifted, and he was handed over to the Public Security Bureau.

This is another major piece of news.

Luo Jian, who was usually reluctant to release people, surprisingly took the initiative to hand over an important witness at this moment.

Could it be that Luo Jian actually wanted to solve the case, and his previous actions were not meant to obstruct it?

His actions left everyone baffled.

But regardless.

This is good news for the Handong authorities.

Sha Ruijin attached great importance to this and demanded that Qi Tongwei personally lead the team to complete the handover, and personally conduct an interrogation on the same day.

All we need to do is get information about the collapse of the resettlement housing from Boss Qian.

There is a turning point in Bai Jingwen's case.

Sha Ruijin believes that the reason why Mr. Qian did not provide any valuable information during the previous questioning within the task force was due to environmental issues.

Once we get to the Public Security Bureau, I'm sure Mr. Qian will speak his mind freely!

Unfortunately, the idea was good.

Just before Boss Qian was about to leave.

He committed suicide by poisoning himself in his room!

The news is out.

Sha Ruijin slammed his fist on the table, furious!

A witness who was about to be handed over died by poisoning himself right under the noses of the task force.

How were the drugs smuggled in?

Were the daily cell inspections actually carried out?

Who is behind this lawless murder?

No one believed that Mr. Qian truly committed suicide.

Someone must have been behind this.

This is believed to be the real culprit behind the collapse of the resettlement housing!

Sha Ruijin demanded a thorough investigation, focusing on who Boss Qian had contacted and what he had said during this period.

All personnel in charge of the task force's detention room that day were held accountable.

The task force is no longer safe.

Sha Ruijin issued the clearest instructions in the strongest possible official document:

Luo Jian provided an explanation to the Provincial Party Committee.

The joint task force underwent a complete reshuffle. After a thorough investigation, only key personnel from the Political and Legal Affairs Commission were retained, while the rest were all dismissed and returned to the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

The provincial discipline inspection commission and the procuratorate took full control of the joint task force.

The relevant follow-up work should be carried out immediately.

After Sha Ruijin gave the instructions.

The next day, Luo Jian handed over control of the joint task force, especially Wu Tianliang in the hospital ward, who was directly handed over to the Public Security Bureau.

Next, Luo Jian dismissed all members of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission from the special task force.

Finally, Luo Jian gave a very profound and somber report to the Handong Provincial Committee.

He conducted a comprehensive review of his dereliction of duty.

He also requested that the provincial party committee impose disciplinary action on him.

After discussion, Luo Jian was given a major demerit.

Other key members of the task force were given major demerits and demerits, respectively.

Luo Jian accepted all of this and made a solemn promise to Sha Ruijin to reflect on his actions.

After that, Luo Jian was able to extricate himself from Bai Jingwen's case unscathed.

The joint task force's work continues, and the members have undergone a major reshuffle. Sha Ruijin, Xia Qing, and Tian Guofu are finally able to fully grasp the progress of the case.

but.

Sha Ruijin and the others, however, were not happy.

Although the task force was brought in and important witness Wu Tianliang was obtained, Luo Jian was excluded from the investigation.

But in Sha Ruijin's view, it was as if Luo Jian had finished everything and left the leftovers for Sha Ruijin and the others to take over.

Sha Ruijin and others also had to eat with relish.

What kind of nonsense is this!

Boss Qian is dead.

Luo Jian escaped unscathed, even though he was under the orders of the Zhou family and helping Li Dakang. In Bai Jingwen's case, he played the role of obstructing, interfering with, and protecting the suspect.

Unfortunately, there is no direct evidence to prove Luo Jian's actions, let alone convict him!

Luo Jian used a major demerit to help Li Dakang handle all the matters.

Bai Jingwen's case has made no progress, but there's one less witness.

Luo Jian continued to serve as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, acting as if nothing had happened.

How infuriating is this?

The Public Security Bureau interrogated Wu Tianliang immediately, and the result was not unexpected for Sha Ruijin and others.

Wu Tianliang shifted all the blame to the deceased Boss Qian.

He only admitted to instigating others.

When asked about Wu Tianliang's previous admission that Li Dakang's secretary had instructed him to do so, he did not answer.

Wu Tianliang immediately changed his story, saying that it was a fabricated accusation.

Wu Tianliang stated that the truth is as follows:

In order to support Bai Jingwen, Li Dakang handed over the resettlement housing project to Bai Jingwen.

Wu Tianliang seized the opportunity and, together with Bai Jingwen and Boss Qian, made money off the project.

Li Dakang and the Jingzhou authorities were completely unaware of these matters.

Ultimately, the collapse of the resettlement housing project brought the truth to light.

When asked about Bai Jingwen's alleged soliciting of prostitutes.

Wu Tianliang said that Secretary Bai had been drinking and wanted to have some fun, so he asked Wu to make the arrangements.

In this way...

With Boss Qian dead and Wu Tianliang taking all the blame, the charges against Bai Jingwen are now even more certain!

This is the outcome facing Handong!

Bai Jingwen's dead end.
