Chapter 205 A Nest of Foxes
Just as night fell, a phone call came into the office of Li Peilin, the director of the Third Division, at Villa No. 1, Honggongci.
The call was from the North City Police Station.
The content is very short, just a simple sentence.
Murong Han, the deputy head of the Third Judicial Section, was just assassinated at home.
The person who did it was Murong Han's concubine, whom he had taken into his household a few months ago.
After the incident, the concubine disappeared, blood was everywhere at the scene of the death, and a note was placed on the body.
The note had several large characters written on it.
eye for eye!
Upon hearing this news, Li Peilin, the director of the Third Division, immediately slammed the phone down on the table.
His eyes turned red instantly.
There was no other reason than that Murong Han had a very deep relationship with him, not only as his long-time subordinate, but also as his brother-in-law.
He can be considered Li Peilin's absolute confidant in the third office.
In the afternoon, they chatted together about the cause of death of Gao Zhanlong from the Party Affairs Investigation Department. Unexpectedly, just a few hours later, Murong Han also died at home.
"Party Affairs Investigation Department!"
"You beasts! The one who attacked you was Xu Baichuan's men from the Second Division. Why aren't you going to settle accounts with him? Why are you attacking me?"
Do you think I, Li Peilin, am easy to bully?
Amidst his roar, Li Peilin picked up the phone again and dialed directly into Xu Baichuan's office. He recounted the assassination of Murong Han.
The implication was that he was going to blame Xu Baichuan, but Xu Baichuan was not someone to be trifled with. His seniority in the Special Service Department was no less than that of Li Peilin, and his subordinates were even more shrewd and capable.
In the eyes of Director Dai Yunong, Xu Baichuan's position was also higher than Li Peilin's.
Furthermore, Murong Han still died at the hands of his newly acquired concubine, which was a case of reaping what you sow. Li Peilin's attempt to use this to coerce him into making concessions and relinquishing benefits was nothing but wishful thinking.
Of course, Xu Baichuan wouldn't openly confront Li Peilin, the head of the Third Division.
He first expressed his grief, then recounted the recent ruthlessness and brutality of the Party Affairs Investigation Department, and finally stated in a measured tone that he would urge his subordinates to find the murderer as soon as possible and avenge Murong Han.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Baichuan first launched into a tirade of profanities.
After venting his emotions, Xu Baichuan immediately called Ye Shaohong's office, but no one answered.
Left with no other option, Xu Baichuan had to go find Zheng Yaoxian.
He informed Zheng Yaoxian of this latest news, hoping that Zheng Yaoxian would quickly find Ye Shaohong and tell him that the Party Affairs Investigation Department's retaliation was coming.
Time is running out for Ye Shaohong.
It's a coincidence.
Just as Xu Baichuan finished recounting the events and was about to leave for home, Ye Shaohong also returned to Villa No. 1 of Honggongci.
He even went so far as to knock directly on Zheng Yaoxian's office door.
The moment Ye Shaohong entered, he was slightly taken aback when he saw Xu Baichuan there.
"Director Xu, I was going to knock on your office door, but there was no response." "Oh, so you're here."
Of course, this was a lie. Ye Shaohong was just trying to prevent Xu Baichuan from thinking that he had rushed to meet Zheng Yaoxian as soon as he returned to Villa No. 1 of Honggongci. This was just an excuse he made up for himself.
"Are you looking for me?"
"I was just looking for you."
"We just received news that Murong Han, the deputy head of the Third Judicial Section, has just been assassinated at home."
"The person who did it was his recently acquired concubine."
Xu Baichuan didn't say whether he believed Ye Shaohong's explanation or not; he simply stated his purpose for coming.
"Are you dead again?"
"It was his concubine who did it, what does that have to do with us?"
After several months of getting along, Ye Shaohong had developed a very deep relationship with Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian. When Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian were with him, they saw him as nothing more than a subordinate.
There's a hint of him treating her like a younger brother.
That's why Ye Shaohong could act so naturally in front of Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian, and even shamelessly start shifting the blame.
"Ha ha!"
“Yes, this matter seems to have nothing to do with us, but Li Peilin, the director of the Second Division, doesn’t see it that way. He said that after the concubine killed someone and fled, she left a note on Murong Han’s body.”
"The note had the words 'blood debt must be repaid in blood' written on it, so he assumed that it was a retaliatory action launched by the Party Affairs Investigation Department after we killed Gao Zhanlong."
Xu Baichuan tapped the cigarette butt off his hand, and couldn't help but chuckle as he brought up the matter.
"Damn it!" "What the hell, is this some kind of sticky mess?"
"Get him out of here!"
Ye Shaohong wouldn't bother with such trivial matters. Anyway, he's in a lowly position now, so even if there's some infighting at the top, it's Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian who should handle it.
That's because they're the older brothers.
It's because Ye Shaohong always brings them gifts from time to time.
This is their responsibility. If a superior can't even protect his own subordinates, then what's the point of following them?
"Okay, okay."
"You don't need to worry about this. I'll take care of it. I came here specifically to deliver this message to you."
"It seems the person in charge of the operation from the Party Affairs Investigation Department is also a madman. We just made our move this morning, and they've already launched their retaliation this afternoon." "Shao Hong, you're the person directly in charge of Operation Sting, so be careful."
"At the same time, we must find that mysterious woman as quickly as possible."
Xu Baichuan waved his hand, then looked at Ye Shaohong solemnly and slowly revealed his true thoughts.
"no problem."
"The reason I came back so late is because I just went to Nancheng Prison. The plan has been arranged. A big show will be staged within three days."
"This time I'm going to take out at least two or three people from the Party Affairs Investigation Department."
"Let that opponent see my methods."
Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian were aware of the operation plan, so Ye Shaohong didn't hide anything from them and told them everything without reservation.
"As long as everything is arranged." "On the day we actually take action, unless something important comes up, I will personally participate in the operation."
"By the way, are you planning to release a few Communists from Nancheng Prison this time?"
That's why they say Xu Baichuan is an old fox. Even though he personally participated in the plan and personally signed the order, Xu Baichuan still couldn't help but ask another question.
He wasn't doubting Ye Shaohong, he just didn't want to pay too high a price for this operation.
"do not know."
“When I went there this time, I met with the new warden of Nancheng Prison, but I did not directly name and release that Communist Party member in front of him.”
"He will be in charge of everything. We just need to handle the follow-up operations from outside after the prisoners escape."
Ye Shaohong wasn't going to fall for it. He copied Xu Baichuan's cunning ways and completely shirked responsibility. Anyway, no written documents were left behind.
The conversation at the time was between him and the new warden. Even if trouble arose in the end, Ye Shaohong would not admit it, and it would have nothing to do with him.
"you……."
"Well, you little rascal, you've become cunning now..."
