Chapter 982: Pulling Up the Radish Brings Out the Mud

This is also why Wang Gang was able to directly advance further after being the principal at Experimental Primary School.

He met many people during his previous work, accumulating a large network, and befriending numerous influential people, many of whom owed him favors.

“Back then, I made quite a bit of money and built a strong network. I felt invincible, thinking I could do whatever I wanted. So, I moved the statue sealing his corpse to my work area. However, as time went on, the thought of it scared me more and more. But it was too late to move the statue back, fearing something might happen, so it remained untouched.”

Wang Gang knew that this time he would not escape, but perhaps he wouldn’t face a death sentence.

Thus, faced with Zhang Hui’s interrogation, Wang Gang confessed everything without reservation.

“Additionally…” Wang Gang looked up at Zhang Hui, “If I make a significant contribution… can I receive a lenient sentence?”

Lenient?

Zhang Hui shook his head: “According to policy, making significant contributions can indeed secure a lenient sentence, but the ultimate judgment isn’t decided by us police. I can only record your contributions truthfully in the case file and present them accurately during the prosecution to the judge.”

“Alright… better than nothing…”

Following this, Wang Gang transformed into a whistleblower of justice.

He confessed the details of when he began accepting bribes and how he accumulated wealth. Through this process, he became aware of many other people’s affairs and revealed whom they involved.

“In my home’s safe, there is a small blue notebook. All the things I’ve done over the years are recorded in that notebook. You can send someone to retrieve that notebook, because I can’t remember everything clearly, but it’s all recorded there meticulously.”

Zhang Hui’s tone suggested that good people don’t keep diaries, and with several volumes, it seems there’s indeed nothing good in them.

For Zhang Hui, this case was considered completely solved, and the case of Zhang Mengyao’s disappearance and murder was also closed.

Yet, the story was far from over.

Dark Fragrance Clubhouse involved more than just Wang Gang; Wang Biao had assisted Qin Meili in handling not just Zhang Mengyao’s corpse over the years.

Many people were implicated in the Dark Fragrance Clubhouse case.

By the next day, the place was thoroughly sealed off, with all related files and computers moved to the Criminal Investigation Team.

According to current investigation results, there are dozens of members within Dark Fragrance Clubhouse.

In Qin Yong’s office, Zhang Hui was reporting.

“Captain Qin, have a look; this is the list of 72 people.”

Qin Yong took the list, and seeing the first name made him dumbfounded.

“This person… are you sure?”

Zhang Hui nodded: “Confirmed, it’s the one we’ve seen frequently on television.”

“In Anyang Clubhouse’s computers, we found some video material.”

“This Dark Fragrance Clubhouse is truly something, tsk tsk.”

This case… it’s akin to a hand grenade.

“Come with me to the city bureau, we need to report to the leadership now.”

Honestly, Qin Yong was a bit flustered.

As the Criminal Investigation Team, they handled criminal cases. Though they uncovered certain leads in the process, these were handed over directly.

However, this time it’s different.

The Dark Fragrance Clubhouse case involves two criminal cases waiting for the Criminal Investigation Team to solve.

Their swift and decisive actions are crucial.

Otherwise, it would become problematic.

So this isn’t a case for the Criminal Investigation Team to handle alone. Qin Yong needs to report immediately to Director Song Jiangguo, who will decide whether to appraise the municipal committee.

From the perspective of those involved, reporting to the city is certainly necessary.

The matters above involve far too much.

Song Jiangguo had just returned from a meeting with higher-ups, and after taking a sip of tea, Qin Yong knocked on his office door.

“Qin Yong? Why are you here?”

Song Jiangguo saw Qin Yong enter with subordinates, “So, the Experimental Primary School case is done?”

Qin Yong nodded: “Indeed, it’s done. I’m here today to report the details of the case and some other matters.”

Song Jiangguo’s mood improved upon hearing this.

A few days ago, when Qin Yong reported no progress, the extended timeline and lack of clues had him considering shelving the case. But now, surprisingly, it’s solved.

“Great, I’ll commend you all afterwards!”

After saying this, Song Jiangguo glanced at the wall clock, “There’s a meeting in a bit with the team, can you wrap this up in ten minutes or should we wait until after the meeting?”

Wait?

Wait, my foot.

Qin Yong shook his head: “Director Song, no, during the investigation of the murder case, we found other people involved. This matter can’t be delayed any longer; we came over right after identifying the people involved.”

Having said that, Qin Yong didn’t stall, handing the list of 72 people directly to Song Jiangguo.

Qin Yong began to explain: “The real culprit of the murder of Experimental Primary School teacher Zhang Mengyao was Wang Gang, the principal back then.”

“We captured him, but during interrogation found other situations.”

Subsequently, Qin Yong briefly explained the Dark Fragrance Clubhouse situation.

“These people on the list… all members of the Dark Fragrance Clubhouse.”

Qin Yong had encountered similar circumstances in previous cases, but none as severe as this.

However, comparatively speaking, he knew how to manage such a case; the key lies in communication and coordination.

As for other issues, Qin Yong didn’t worry much.

His job is to lead the Criminal Investigation Team in solving the criminal cases, while others handle the rest.

This time, Lu Chuan deserves thanks because without his initial leads, this case might not have been solveable.

However, considering it’s nearly impossible for Qin Chuan to return to the Criminal Investigation Team, even if he does, it’d likely be as Deputy Captain.

Furthermore, Qin Yong suspects or guesses Lu Chuan is highly likely to be appointed Deputy Director at another location.

For instance, being directly promoted to Deputy Director at the High-tech Zone branch managing criminal investigations is most probable.
