Chapter 2814

"Wanted?" Yin Zongquan's pupils contracted sharply, the corners of his eyes twitching violently.

Yin Xuan being arrested is nothing—every family has a wastrel, and even Ye Pu's old fogey's grandson was taken in, right? Anyway, he won't die, so it's no big deal.

But if he's put on a wanted list, then the skin of his old face will truly be peeled off. Enemies will mock him, and allies will laugh behind his back, calling Yin Zongquan a joke.

"Good!" Yin Zongquan agreed readily, but his tone turned icy: "Within two days, I'll have Yin Xuan turn himself in. However, I will monitor this case throughout. If Yin Xuan is innocent and merely framed, then I will have a serious talk with you, Wang Jinhong."

"Rest assured!"

Wang Jinhong smiled faintly—Yin Zongquan was warning him. Yin Xuan can surrender, but if you torture him to extract a confession, that's absolutely unacceptable.

"I will personally oversee this case, ensuring full transparency in the investigation, with audio and video recording."

Wang Jinhong also responded, saying this case is too special. The victim is Zhou Andong, the mastermind behind the hired killing is Yin Xuan, and once exposed, it will surely cause a major uproar.

Therefore, during the trial, transparency must be maintained, with audio and video recordings arranged—not only for Zhou Andong, for the superiors, and for the public, but also to give the Yin family an explanation.

Wang Jinhong extended his hand: "Thank you for your cooperation, Elder Yin. I will keep you updated on any progress."

Yin Zongquan shook Wang Jinhong's hand expressionlessly: "I'm old now, so I won't see you off, Comrade Wang Jinhong."

"Please stay!" Wang Jinhong collected the transcript into his briefcase, turned, and walked out.

Yue Guoqiang and Zhao Hong were waiting at the gate; upon seeing Wang Jinhong emerge, a crowd immediately gathered around him.

"Minister!" Yue Guoqiang asked: "How did it go?"

Wang Jinhong smiled slightly: "Yin Xuan will turn himself in within two days."

Yue Guoqiang frowned: "What if Yin Xuan doesn't surrender?"

Wang Jinhong let out a cold snort: "Then we'll issue a wanted notice, broadcast on Central TV and People's Daily."

Yue Guoqiang sucked in a breath of cold air—if the wanted notice aired on Central TV and People's Daily, Yin Zongquan's old face would be trampled into the ground.

"Good!" Zhao Hong couldn't help shouting, then immediately felt several gazes land on his face. This guy's scalp tightened, he instantly straightened his back and stood rigidly at attention.

Wang Jinhong showed a hint of a smile: "Get in the car, let's go back."

……………………

Opposite the Dream Luxury Bath Center, a Santana and a minivan were parked. Inside the Santana, a youth in his late thirties sat in the passenger seat, a cigarette dangling from his lips as he stared at the bath center's entrance.

"Captain Wu!" a young man behind him said: "Damn it, they've been inside all day—waiting longer won't help. We should just grab them and be done with it."

Captain Wu is none other than Wu Jun, deputy captain of the criminal police team, and the Dream Luxury Bath Center belongs to Li Honghai. According to Zhao Hong's tip, last night Li Honghai and Zheng Mingyu, director of the Emergency Materiel Reserves Bureau of the Materiel Bureau, drank all night, then both went into the Dream Luxury Bath Center.

Because of the Yuxi Real Estate case, the mastermind behind it might come from the Materiel Bureau, so Wu Jun didn't launch an immediate arrest upon arrival—instead, he waited for Zheng Mingyu to leave before acting.

But after waiting all day, Zheng Mingyu still hadn't come out, making the arrest team restless, repeatedly cursing Zheng Mingyu's female ancestors eighteen generations back.

"No way!" Wu Jun rubbed his chin—the Yuxi Real Estate case is very complex; if we can avoid startling the snake, we should, and at least we need to buy ourselves one or two days of interrogation time.

"Crackle!" the walkie-talkie crackled, and the voice of Han Limín, captain of the Second Team guarding the back door, came through: "Captain Wu, waiting like this won't work."

Wu Jun held the walkie-talkie: "I also think waiting like this won't work—what do you suggest?"

Han Limín said: "Ninety percent of bath centers involve prostitution; we can use a patrol inspection as an excuse to go in. If there's any illegal activity, we can take them all in. And as for Li Honghai, we can reasonably detain him for a few days to cooperate with the investigation—this way, we avoid startling the snake."

Wu Jun pondered: "Inspection, but we don't have enough people. Besides, we're criminal police—this couldn't stay hidden."

Han Limín said: "What if we request cooperation from the sub-bureau?"

"No way!" Wu Jun rejected without hesitation: "Too many people, too much talk—by tomorrow morning, our objective might be leaked."

Han Limín said helplessly: "Then what should we do? Just keep waiting?"

Wu Jun mused: "The team captain will surely conduct overnight interrogations after completing the arrest mission. I'll call the team to report the situation here, and have the bureau directly send personnel to conduct an inspection operation on-site."

"I think that works!" Han Limín said: "Only now it's already nine o'clock at night—the bureau only has a few on-duty staff, which won't do either."

"I'll report to Captain Zhao first, then decide." Wu Jun put down the walkie-talkie, opened the door, stepped out of the car, cigarette in mouth, and walked toward a nearby phone booth.

………………

Zhao Hong directly brought his people back to the team, preparing to deeply investigate Er Guizi, Ji Yongyong, Wang Hu, and Da Ban Ya—these scum surely have other cases on them, especially Da Ban Ya, who might even uncover a major case.

But he had just arrived at the team and hadn't even reached the office when the duty officer in the ready room called out to him: "Captain, Captain Wu called—he has something to report."

Zhao Hong turned back: "When did he call?"

"Just now—you walked in, and his call came through." The duty officer said: "The line hasn't been disconnected yet."

Zhao Hong entered the ready room, picked up the phone, and said: "Old Wu, what's the situation on your end?"

Wu Jun explained: "How many officers can the city bureau spare right now?"

"It's already damn nine o'clock—how many on-duty personnel could there be?" Zhao Hong rubbed his forehead, mainly because it's too late, and arresting Li Honghai can't be done with a big show: "Don't move—wait for my callback."

Zhao Hong hung up, realizing borrowing personnel from various sub-bureaus would definitely not work—too much commotion. So, to maintain secrecy and minimize disturbance, he couldn't reassign people internally; he could only borrow externally.

Zhao Hong took out a cigarette and lit it—external borrowing could only be from the Woolen Mill Security Department. That's Zhou Andong's turf, with Zhou Andong's great Buddha overseeing it, so secrecy poses no problem. Besides, arresting Li Honghai is also due to the Yuxi Real Estate case.

But borrowing personnel from the Woolen Mill requires the bureau chief to step in personally, so Zhao Hong picked up the phone and dialed Yue Guoqiang's home, and soon a woman's voice came through.

"Hello, who is this?"

Zhao Hong hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, I'm Zhao Hong—has Chief Yue arrived home yet?"

"Zhao Hong, Old Yue just got home." The receiver transmitted a shout: "Old Yue, Zhao Hong is calling."

Soon, Yue Guoqiang's voice came through: "Zhao Hong, what happened?"

Zhao Hong explained the situation: "Borrowing personnel from the Woolen Mill can only be done through you and Zhou Andong."

"That's a good idea." Yue Guoqiang said solemnly: "Wait for my call."
