Chapter 48: Investigating the Murderer

  Du Rulong smiled and said, "What should I call you two?"

  Zhang Wu jumped up and said calmly: "I am Zhang Wu, this is my brother Zhang Jun. Recently, a large number of thugs have been harassing my brother's parents and even injured someone. We came here hoping that the police station can do its job well, investigate the origin of those thugs, and arrest or detain those who should be."

  Du Rulong narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "This guy's tone is not small." He naturally fell into an official tone and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely investigate with all our might and won't leave any room for lawbreakers to survive."

  Zhang Jun furrowed his brow and said, "Director Du, my parents have been harassed by someone for no reason since half a year ago. They have reported to the police many times, but the police station has not taken any action. Do you think they don't have 'survival space'?"

  Du Rulong's face suddenly turned black, and he said in a low voice: "Mr. Zhang, we police have our own procedures for handling cases, and it is impossible to solve everything immediately." Then he looked at his watch, "Sorry, I have a meeting, let's talk later."

  After Du Rulong left, Zhang Wu sneered: "Brother, do you know now how difficult it is to deal with officials? These officials look down on ordinary people in their hearts. If it weren't for Shangyang's phone call, we would have found it hard to see him even once."

  Zhang Jun also had a few points of anger in his heart, and said: "He thinks he's an official, I'll use my official power to crush him!" After finishing speaking, he picked up the phone and dialed Zhuang Wen's number.

  He vaguely remembered that Zhuang Wen had an uncle who was the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, a standing committee member of the Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, a giant at the deputy provincial level. If he could bring out the Director of Public Security, Du Rulong would not dare to be dishonest.

  "Brother, it's been more than half a year since we last contacted each other, how have you been lately?"

  Zhang Jun smiled bitterly, "Wen Ge, brother has a favor to ask of you."

  Zhuang Wen laughed and said, "Don't be so formal with your own brother. I've said it before, your business is my business."

  Zhang Jun then told him about the situation at home, and Zhuang Wen angrily said: "This is outrageous! Brother, wait for news from me, I'll take care of this right away!"

  On the other hand, Du Rulong was making a phone call in another room, and the other party was Zhao Weimin, the head of the Organization Department of Yuyang City.

  "Sister-in-law, what's the origin of those two kids with the surname Zhang? They're so arrogant in front of me, if it wasn't for the municipal committee calling to instruct, I would have locked them up in the detention room directly." Du Rulong said angrily.

  Zhao Weimin said: "Like Dragon, don't mess around. These two people aren't anything special, but a businessman who is preparing to invest in Yuyang City has made contact with us and asked us to take special care of these two."

  "Pah! Who do I think I am, a big shot? Turns out he's just the relative of an investor, damn it! This kind of small fry dares to order me around!" Du Rulong was a local tyrant and immediately got furious.

  Zhao Weimin shouted: "Rulong, you should be more restrained. What you've done in recent years is a bit too much. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to protect you either."

  "Alright, I know. Brother-in-law, I'll come over tonight and we'll have a few drinks."

  He hung up the phone and Du Rulong sneered, calling over a few police officers, saying: "You go and ask those two people in my office in detail, get to the bottom of their background."

  In the office, several police officers took a lukewarm record of Zhang Jun and then went to find Du Rulong. Du Rulong was originally not paying attention, but when he took a closer look, his heart skipped a beat.

  It turned out that Zhang Guozhong and Lu Hongmei's affairs had been known to him for a long time. More than half a year ago, several local ruffians from Qinghe County came to find him, saying they wanted to fix a couple who opened a small shop, hoping the police would turn a blind eye.

  At that time, Du Rulong accepted a lot of famous wine and cigarettes, as well as 100,000 yuan. Without much consideration, he agreed. After closing the record, his eyes rolled around, thinking: "What kind of crappy investor is this? I don't care about it. Since I've taken the things, I won't take on this case. Otherwise, those people will say that I have no code of conduct in the underworld, and who will send me gifts in the future?"

  He ordered someone to inform Zhang Jun and Zhang Wu, asking them to leave temporarily, and the bureau would soon give them a reply. Zhang Jun also knew that staying there was meaningless, so he decided to go home first and wait for news.

  Two people walked away, and Du Rulong immediately called a local snakehead in Qinghe County: "Hei Chou, Zhang Guozhong's family came to report the crime, it seems they have some background. How did you guys do it? Didn't you say this family had no roots?"

  Hei Chai, the black wolf who answered the phone, was a local tyrant in Qinghe County. He made a living mainly by running a hair salon and a mahjong hall, with dozens of thugs under his command. As soon as he received the call, he said, "Don't worry, Boss Du, we'll take care of this matter right away."

  Hei Bao was called, Du Rulong still had some misgivings, and simply called several other thugs, Qingpi Li, Knife Scar Yang, Ma San, to deal with the matter together.

  When Deng returned home, it was already dark. He prepared to continue going to the Public Security Bureau tomorrow. At this time, Feng Yulong, the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, and other provincial leaders decided to go to Yuanyang and several other cities to inspect the progress of investment promotion tomorrow.

  At night, Feng Yulong received a call from Zhuang Wen. He smiled and said, "Little Wen, how are your parents?"

  Zhuang Wenda said: "Everything is fine, Uncle. There's something on my nephew's side that needs your help." Then he briefly mentioned Zhang Jun's situation.

  Feng Yulong said with a smile: "This matter is not big. However, Xiao Wen, you usually don't like to take on things, what kind of person is this Zhang Jun that even you are moved?"

  "Uncle, LeLe's illness was cured by him."

  "Really?" Feng Yulong was shocked, "Lole's illness has baffled many famous doctors, how did this person manage to cure it?"

  "Yes, Zhang Jun also has a connection with Hua Bu Yi, it's not surprising that he has such ability." Zhuang Wen said, "I'm lucky to know such an extraordinary person."

  Feng Yulong's heart skipped a beat as he said, "Zhuang Wen, I'd like to meet this person. Can you come to Yuyang tomorrow and introduce me to my uncle?"

  Zhuang Wen thought for a moment: "Okay, I don't have anything important going on lately. I'll go over tonight and arrive tomorrow."

  "Okay, got in touch with me."

  8 o'clock in the evening, at Zhang Jun's home.

  The house only had Zhang Jun and others, he didn't want his parents to be frightened, so he secretly transferred Zhang Guozhong and Lu Hongmei to a hotel for temporary residence, and let the five brothers who came together take care of them. The two of them held a bowl of instant noodles each, eating slowly.

  They had only eaten half of the noodles when they simultaneously lifted their heads, gently put down their bowls, and Zhang Wu's figure flashed as he reached the wall and turned off the lights. Suddenly, the room was plunged into darkness.

  Zhang Jun also stood up, and the darkness did not affect his vision at all. He walked to the other side. After nine months of hard training in the deep mountains, his footsteps were light and agile, silent and soundless.

  Both of them heard someone going upstairs, and it was more than one person.

  Soon, the chaotic footsteps reached the door, and someone whispered: "Brother, shall we break in?"

  Just then, Zhang Jun turned the dark lock and opened the door. The people outside were shocked to see that the door was open, and when they looked inside again, it was pitch black and couldn't be seen clearly.

  There were over a dozen people, among whom was a middle-aged man with a dark complexion who pushed the door wide open and beckoned, leading the group of over a dozen people to surge into the room. As they prepared to turn on the lights, he suddenly felt a numbness in the back of his head and fainted.

  A dozen or so people fell to the ground unconscious in just over a dozen seconds. Zhang Junmo expressionlessly dragged everyone into the inner room, then came out and said: "Fifth Brother, get three brothers to come over and find a car."

  Zhang Wu understood his meaning and said: "Find a desolate place in the wilderness, let you see the skills of Brother Five."

  In the hospital, five brothers in charge of nursing, three of whom drove a large truck to the community. At the same time, more than a dozen people came and were also knocked down by Zhang Wu.

  In this way, within half an hour, four batches of people appeared in front and behind, with a total of forty or fifty people being knocked down. Zhang Jun woke up one or two of them to confirm the mastermind.

  Three brothers drove the car over, and Zhang let them strip all the people except the four leaders naked, tied their limbs with ropes, and threw them into the truck. And ordered: "To the east is a mountainous area, sparsely populated. You drive the car to the east, every two miles, throw one person down for me, and cut off one hand."

  Three people nodded calmly and agreed, then one by one they carried the dozens of unconscious people onto the truck and drove away.

  There were four people left lying on the ground in the room, namely Hei Liang, Ma San, Qingpi Li and Dao Ba Yang. It was these four people who had their subordinates harass Zhang's family for half a year.

  "Brother, I'm going to find a car."

  Soon, Zhang Wukui drove back a pickup truck and threw the four people in the back, driving south. The southern part of Qinghe County is a salt alkali land, where even farmers do not exist, and it is rare for anyone to appear normally.

  The car drove out of Qinghe County for over 30 miles and stopped in front of a barren hill. The four people on the car were thrown off by Zhang Jun, hitting the ground with dust flying everywhere, and they immediately woke up in pain.

  In the dark of night, they could only see two figures standing in front of them. Suddenly, they knew something was wrong. One of them said: "Two gentlemen, let's talk this over. I am Ma San from Qinghe County."

  "Bang!" Zhang Jun kicked Ma San's face with one foot, bursting his nose and shattering a mouthful of teeth.

  He rolled on the ground in pain, wailing continuously. The other three were frightened and thought that this guy was ruthless, wondering which gang he belonged to.

  Zhang Jun said coldly: "I didn't let you speak, it's best to shut your mouth." Then he asked one of the bald men, "Are you Qingpi Li?"

  "Yes, yes." Qingpi Li hastily replied, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

  "Who told you to lay hands on Zhang Guozhong's family?" he asked in a cold voice.

  Qingpi Li's face changed, and he said: "This brother, we're all in the same line of work, you should know the rules, I can't say."

  "Crack!"

  Zhang Jun's foot came down and Qingpi Li's calf was in severe pain, and it was actually broken by one kick. He let out a miserable howl, clenched his fists, and had a painful expression on his face.

  Zhang Wu also started interrogating another person, who was slender but had a fierce gaze. Zhang Wu pinched one of the person's fingers and asked: "Who instructed you to take action against Zhang Guozhong's family?"

  Hei Chai's eyes flashed and he said: "You dare move one of my fingers, I guarantee you won't leave Qinghe County alive!"
