Breaking Through The Clouds

Chapter 124

From their smile, they looked just like two innocent playmates, but there was a darker and deeper meaning behind it.

Jiang Ting, former captain of the second division of the Gongzhou Anti-Drug Corps, first-level police inspector. Three years ago, he died in the explosion and became the number one black policeman in the upper levels of the system. He was also suspected of murdering Yue Guangping, the former deputy mayor of Gongzhou and chief of the public security bureau.

And last night, on a rainy, cold winter night, his ghost appeared around the lakeside community in Jianning City.

"I originally wanted to go to Yan Xie, the vice-captain of our city bureau, but when I walked near the community, I spotted some suspicious people; they seemed to be spying on the building. I immediately hid and waited for an opportunity to secretly follow and found out that the culprit turned out to be Jiang Ting, who was suspected of killing my old comrade-in-arms Yue Guangping three years ago and had been identified as a 'sacrificed' by Gongzhou! Moreover, he also had people with him! I was about to call for help, but he found out and stabbed me in a hurry..."

In the single ward, the windows were bright and clean. The leaders of the Public Security Department of S Province were sitting around the bed, and several people were taking notes with their heads bowed.

Chief Lu leaned weakly on the head of the bed and said hoarsely: "Fortunately, I was wearing thick winter clothes and my body is fat, so some vital parts didn't get stabbed, and I just passed out at that time. Alas! I am old and useless!"

His hair had turned much greyer overnight, and his chubby face was out of shape-after all, he was a 60-year-old man who struggled in a coma for several hours on a rainy night, and just being able to save his life was a god's blessing.

"What are you saying, Chief Lu? Who doesn't know about your wisdom and courage?" The commissioner, who came from the provincial department, quickly comforted him: "The other party is a murderous and cunning police scum who colluded with drug dealers. It's up to us to bring him to justice and avenge you!"

Chief Lu sighed and closed his old eyes in exhaustion.

The commissioner stood up quickly and wisely: "Then let's stop here today, and don't disturb the leader's rest. Chief Lu, if you think of more clues, just ask someone to call, we'll be here right away!"

Chief Lu sighed and nodded to indicate that he knew, then beckoned and ordered, "Old Yu, send them off."

Yu Zhu personally sent the people from the provincial office away and talked to them all the way to the gate of the hospital. Seeing that they all got into the car and left, she turned back to the ward and gave Deputy Chief Wei, who was sitting in the nurse's station, a look.

Wei Yao hurriedly stood up and followed her into the ward.

Chief Lu leaned on the pillow; his face was yellow as if it was bloodless, and even his lips were a bit gray: "What's your plan?"

"We're going to set up a task force, cooperate with Gongzhou, and issue a nationwide notice of assistance to arrest Jiang Ting." Yu Zhu sat in the armchair beside the hospital bed, then coughed and cleared her throat, her voice showing her anxiety: "Old Lu, what's going on? I don't believe what you said to the people of the provincial government, there are way too many loopholes!"

Chief Lu stopped talking and looked at Wei Yao.

Wei Yao understood and nodded at both Chief Lu and Yu Zhu.

"I've been working with you for twenty or thirty years, and I'm not going to hide anything from you, so I'll just say it directly." Chief Lu sighed under the intense gaze of his two colleagues and said, "I didn't meet Jiang Ting near Yan Xie's house. Rather, I knew that he was at Yan Xie's house, so I went to visit him specifically, trying to incite him."
