Du Fei poured Zhao Qianhe a cup of tea, with a wry smile on his face, and said, "Director Zhao, I naturally know the extent of the matter, but the incident happened in my jurisdiction, and there are witnesses present. If I let him go, who will bear the consequences?"

Zhao Qianhe could sense some solemnity in Du Fei's tone, and he said in a deep voice, "Please tell me briefly the cause and effect."

Du Fei then told Zhao Qianhe a story. Deng Shaoan saw that two garment factories were doing well some time ago, so he was thinking about buying them. But since they were doing well, why would they sell them to you? So Deng Shaoan arranged a group of hooligans to go to the garment factories every two or three days to cause trouble, which affected other people's business. One of the factories knew that Deng Shaoan was powerful, so it compromised and quickly signed a transfer agreement. The boss of another factory was from Donglu Province, and he was strong-willed and refused to give in, and had a violent conflict with the gang of hooligans.

The boss of Dong Lu had practiced martial arts and could fight four or five people alone, so Deng Shaoan arranged a few more thugs. Who would have expected that during the second conflict, both sides became angry and some thugs drew their knives, resulting in the boss of Dong Lu being killed by mistake.

Zhao Qianhe sighed. Although Deng Shaoan did not take any action in this matter, he was the mastermind behind the scenes. If the matter was taken too seriously, he would be the first person responsible for the murder.

Zhao Qianhe sighed and said, "Has this happened for a while? Why did it only come out now?"

Du Fei stood up and took a document from the desk, handed it to Zhao Qianhe, and said, "This is the police dispatch record, please take a look."

Zhao Qianhe's eyes widened in disbelief, and he said, "So, Deng Shaoan also illegally detained the family of the deceased?"

Du Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Director Zhao, this happened at Sanyuan Bridge. The situation is so serious. Do you think I should intervene?"

Zhao Qianhe nodded and sighed: "If this is true, no one can protect him."

Zhao Qianhe stood up, frowned, and paced back and forth in the office. He began to waver. After all, the situation was serious. If he wanted to take Deng Shaoan away, he would have to bear a great responsibility. Was it worth taking such a risk for the position of director

Zhao Qianhe was hesitating.

Du Fei looked at Zhao Qianhe calmly. He knew that Zhao Qianhe came with orders from above, but he seemed very calm about Deng Shaoan's matter. Deng Shaoan had committed a serious crime.

In fact, Du Fei had been paying attention to Deng Shaoan a long time ago, but the time had not come yet. Today, he received an order, so he quickly closed the net and found the victim who had lost his personal freedom in a house rented by Deng Shaoan, and then quickly arrested Deng Shaoan.

However, Deng Shaoan was very cunning. He firmly denied everything and called Deng Shaoqun several times, asking him to arrange someone to rescue him.

If Deng Shaoan was released, it would mean that he would be given enough space to destroy some evidence. Even if Deng Shaoan absconded for fear of crime, it would be too difficult to catch him again.

So Du Fei had only one thought in his mind: no matter who came and wanted to take Deng Shaoan away, it would be impossible!

Zhao Qianhe thought for a long time and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Du, I will tell you the truth. I came here today on orders. How about this, we both take a step back and let Deng Shaoan go back first. You continue to investigate other clues and arrest him when the evidence is solid."

Zhao Qianhe played a little trick. He did not deny the suspicion of Deng Shaoan, but at the same time he was paving the way for Deng Shaoan to leave. Zhao Qianhe's task was to take Deng Shaoan away tonight, and as for what would happen tomorrow, Zhao Qianhe did not need to worry about it.

Du Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Director Zhao, the evidence is sufficient now. What else do we need to investigate?"

Zhao Qianhe waved his hand and said, "After all, it wasn't Deng Shaoan who killed someone. Whether he was the mastermind or not is still up for debate."

Du Fei felt helpless about Zhao Qianhe's specious arguments and said, "Director Zhao, are you determined to take the criminal suspect away?"

Zhao Qianhe raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Du, things are not that simple. I hope you will carefully consider the consequences and not embarrass me or the superiors."

Du Fei showed a hint of sarcasm on his face and said, "I'm sorry, Director Zhao, no one can take Deng Shaoan away today, let alone the district party secretary. Even if the municipal party secretary or provincial party secretary comes, I will handle the case according to the law."

Seeing that Du Fei was willing to tear his face apart, Zhao Qianhe glared at him coldly and said, "Du Fei, you are too arrogant."

Du Fei glanced at Zhao Qianhe with disdain and said, "The truth is on my side, I have the right to be arrogant!"

Zhao Qianhe realized that he couldn't continue the conversation, so he snorted and hurried out of the office. Du Fei was the chief of the police station. If he released the man, Zhao Qianhe could easily push the responsibility onto him if there were any problems in the future. However, he didn't expect Du Fei to be a stubborn person who would not listen to any persuasion. Zhao Qianhe couldn't take Deng Shaoan away by force, so he could only leave first.

As soon as Zhao Qianhe got into the car, he quickly called Deng Shaoqun. After Deng Shaoqun understood the whole story, he frowned and asked, "What do you think is the possibility that he will be convicted?"

Zhao Qianhe smiled bitterly and said, "About 80 percent, because the victim has been found. This is a fact that cannot be changed."

Deng Shaoqun raised his eyebrows and said, "What about asking the victim to change his confession?"

Zhao Qianhe's eyebrows jumped, "Boss, this is a bit difficult."

Deng Shaoqun said calmly: "Nothing is difficult in this world if one is determined. I'll leave this matter to you. If you can't do it well, I'll hold you accountable."

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Zhao Qianhe smiled bitterly. Deng Shaoqun was pushing him into the fire pit. However, he was on the edge of a cliff. If he didn't do what Deng Shaoqun wanted, his future would be hopeless. But if he did what Deng Shaoqun wanted, he would inevitably be tainted, leaving a time bomb for the future.

After listening to Zhao Qianhe's car start up and making sure he had left, Du Fei made a phone call and said, "Brother Xiang, just as you expected, Director Zhao came over to pick someone up."

Xiang Xin hummed and asked, "This case is not that simple. I think they must have other tricks up their sleeves. What you have to do now is to never let Deng Shaoan leave. If he leaves the police station, he will probably flee immediately, and it will be difficult to catch him. Ah Fei, you've worked hard this time. I'm afraid you have to withstand a lot of pressure, after all, it involves Secretary Deng."

Du Fei nodded and said, "Brother Xiang, you are too polite. You helped me block the knife before. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago. Since it is what you want to do, I will do my best to complete it."

Xiang Xin sighed and said with a smile: "You are my good brother. This matter concerns my future. When it is done, I will treat you to a good drink."

Du Fei nodded and smiled: "Your words are enough."

Zhao Qianhe has his own advantages. He is qualified and experienced, and many leaders above him value him very much. Xiang Xin also has his own advantage, that is, he has a group of good brothers who support him.

After chatting with Du Fei for a while, Xiang Xin hung up the phone. He sighed deeply and sent a text message to Fang Zhicheng, "Things are developing in an orderly manner. Deng Shaoqun has taken the bait..."

Not long after, his phone vibrated. He clicked on the text message and saw: "Let's go fishing tomorrow."

Chapter 0514: Self-righteous Idiot

As early as a month or two ago, Fang Zhicheng had been holding back on investigating Deng Shaoan in order to wait for the right opportunity to take action.

Deng Shaoan has been taking advantage of Deng Shaoqun's power to do many despicable things in Xiaguang District over the years. This is not uncommon in the Xiaguang officialdom and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

But although Deng Shaoan's actions were a bit domineering, they rarely crossed the bottom line. Moreover, he was very cunning and rarely acted on his own. It took some effort to find his true colors.
