The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 366 Sitting on the Mountain and Watching the Tigers Fight, Awaiting Good News

Arresting this principal is not difficult.

The key is to act swiftly and decisively, extracting all the information the other party knows.

This matter should be handled secretly, and as few people as possible should know about it. This is one of the more difficult aspects of Qin Chuan's work here.

Because Qin Chuan has very few people he can trust now, the entire High-tech Zone branch can be said to be leaky everywhere.

Given Li Baokun's abilities, he could even plant someone in the High-tech Zone Branch, let alone Song Changfeng.

Therefore, Qin Chuan has been handling cases primarily on a single line of investigation during this period.

He didn't use any of the police officers in charge of the team; he mainly relied on the criminal investigation team, and Zhang Jun was always the one in charge of communication.

The other members of the leadership team at the High-tech Zone branch also knew that Qin Chuan didn't trust them, but they were happy with that. Qin Chuan was now focused on solving cases, so he naturally didn't care about other things.

Political Commissar's Office.

Zhang Feng and others were having a small meeting.

Tian Yongjun is now full of complaints, but has nowhere to vent them.

"Political Commissar, look at me now. I'm the deputy director of the High-tech Zone Branch, in charge of criminal investigation. But what are they doing? I have no idea that the Criminal Investigation Brigade hasn't reported anything to me for a month."

Li Hu and Wang Guojun were also in Zhang Feng's office. Li Hu patted Tian Yongjun on the shoulder.

"Isn't this a good thing? It's a good opportunity to rest during this time."

As far as Li Hu and Wang Guojun were concerned, Qin Chuan didn't interfere in their affairs, so they naturally kept to themselves. They didn't need to report to him, the bureau chief, and he didn't concern himself with their business—wasn't that peaceful enough?

As for Tian Yongjun, we can only relax. Since he can't do anything, he should just stay put.

At worst, it's just a loss of money, or maybe my WeChat account will be affected by my subordinates. It's not a big deal.

Zhang Feng remained silent throughout, having originally intended to teach Qin Chuan a lesson.

But after a month, he discovered that this was not the case at all.

Qin Chuan's tenure as director of the High-tech Zone Branch is unlikely to be long, and judging from the situation, he seems to have come with some kind of mission.

They had all been watching Qin Chuan's actions closely and were completely focused on him. Not only had he dismantled several criminal gangs, but he had even dared to take action against Li Baokun, the underground emperor of Xing'an City.

Others might not know who Li Baokun is, but as the director of the High-tech Zone Branch, how could Zheng Wei not know? There must be some connection between Song Changfeng and Li Baokun.

Moreover, the fact that relevant departments came in person yesterday to take Li Baokun away shows that someone has taken action.

Therefore, Zhang Feng judged that Qin Chuan would definitely not be able to stay here for long. Either he would bring down his target, or he would be taken care of by his target. There were only two options, and no other options.

"It's not an easy job for him either. You heard about what happened just now, right?"

How could they not have heard? A gunfight had broken out; how could they, as members of the High-tech Zone leadership, not know?

Tian Yongjun took out his phone: "The people from the Criminal Investigation Brigade have all gone over there and are dealing with the scene now. I was thinking of going over there too, but then I thought better of it. Director Qin is personally overseeing things there. What would it do me if I went?"

Actually, what these people did was a bit underhanded. There was a gunfight in Yuxi, Qinchuan, but instead of going there, they sat in the office having a small meeting.

Although Tian Yongjun's control over the criminal investigation team is now basically zero, it is not difficult for him to get information about many of the people he promoted in the past.

"Political Commissar, are we really not going?"

Wang Guojun asked.

Zhang Feng shook his head: "My opinion is not to get involved in this matter."

"Director Qin... doesn't trust us."

“If we don’t go, they’ll just say we’re not doing a good job. If we go… it will only create more suspicion.”

Qin Chuan's distrust of his team members is obvious; for example, the arrest of Li Baokun.

After the criminal investigation team arrested the man, some news leaked out, but it was Song Changfeng and Li Baokun who leaked it. They only found out that Li Baokun had been arrested after the relevant departments came and the city bureau chief Zhao Donglai came in person.

Qin Chuan maintained secrecy not only externally but also internally.

Zhang Feng was also very perceptive. He knew what kind of person Li Baokun was, and the two were acquaintances. Although he wasn't exactly Li Baokun's protector, Zhang Feng had given Li Baokun face in the past for some of his actions.

However, there wasn't much economic interaction or exchange, so it was just a courtesy.

Therefore, Zhang Feng wasn't worried about Li Baokun revealing anything about him.

Since Qin Chuan is targeting Li, the other party's goal is self-evident: to wipe out all the organized crime in Xing'an City. Zhang Feng really can't get involved in something this big.

For him, this was a tremendous achievement, but also a hot potato.
