Chapter 678 Alerting the enemy!

About half an hour later, Zhang Zhitao walked into the office from outside. He saw the three people sitting in the office and introduced them to Jia Dongming in a serious manner: "Comrade Dongming! I have just reported this case to Director Wu. After Director Wu learned about the case, he immediately called the city's responsible leader and gave him a detailed report on the case."

"According to the instructions of the city leaders, our bureau and the city's disciplinary department set up a joint task force to conduct a secret investigation into this case. Director Wu will be the team leader, and I and Comrade Xue Huanghe from the city's disciplinary department will serve as deputy team leaders."

"The team members will be drawn from your Second Brigade. In addition, the city's disciplinary department will select three people to join. They will report to the Municipal Bureau tomorrow morning. Considering that this case was discovered by you, you will be responsible for leading the investigation of the case."

When Jia Dongming heard the news announced by Zhang Zhitao, his face showed an expression of disbelief, and he blurted out to Zhang Zhitao: "Captain Zhang! What are you talking about? I am in charge of leading the investigation of this case, but this is a conspiracy, why don't you let the disciplinary department be responsible for the investigation?"

When Zhang Zhitao heard Jia Dongming's question, he looked at Jia Dongming with a half-smile, who looked incredulous, and replied, "Comrade Dongming! You don't look like someone who would ask such a question."

When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Zhitao's answer, he immediately understood what he meant. He saluted Zhang Zhitao and replied in a strong voice: "Please rest assured, leader. I promise to complete this task."

Zhang Zhitao smiled with satisfaction when he heard Jia Dongming's promise. He asked Jia Dongming in a friendly manner, "Comrade Dongming! According to the records in the account book, Liu Jiangping has been exchanging old grain for new grain and making personal profits from it for more than five years. During these five years, the grain station didn't find any tricks. This is enough to show that there must be many people involved in the grain station."

"Whether the deceased was an employee of the grain station or a thief, the superiors mean that all the people involved in this case must be caught in one fell swoop. Where do you think we should start with this case?"

After hearing Zhang Zhitao's question, Jia Dongming pondered for a while before answering, "Captain Zhang! Since we found Liu Jiangping's account book, let's start with Liu Jiangping."

"My idea is this: the loss of the account book will definitely make Liu Jiangping feel uneasy. I think we can first control Liu Jiangping and secretly monitor his every move to see who he has frequent contact with during this period of time. After we have valuable clues, we can secretly arrest Liu Jiangping and finally use Liu Jiangping as a breakthrough point to bring all the people involved in this case to justice."

Zhang Zhitao nodded with satisfaction when he learned about Jia Dongming's approach to the case. He then turned his attention to Li Xianjin and said to him with a smile, "Little Li! I estimate that after the body of the deceased is found, Liu Jiangping will definitely pay special attention to your case handling process and may even try to find out information. Your mission is to paralyze Liu Jiangping and provide cover for the special case team. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, you will be responsible for leading the comrades in the branch to continue the investigation in the wrong direction."

When Li Xianjin heard Zhang Zhitao's arrangement, he immediately understood the purpose of Zhang Zhitao's arrangement. He saluted Zhang Zhitao and replied respectfully: "Captain! Please rest assured, I promise to complete the task."

Zhang Zhitao nodded with satisfaction after hearing the promise made by Li Xianjin, and then turned to Zhang Bin and said, "Xiao Zhang! Since you have been involved in the investigation of this case with Comrade Dongming from the beginning, I will make an exception and let you join the investigation team. I hope that you can learn well from Comrade Dongming in the following work." Wang Bin, who was originally in high spirits, thought that he would not have the opportunity to participate in the investigation of this case because of the cold water poured by Li Xianjin. Now that he knew that he would become a member of the special task force, Wang Bin suddenly became very excited. He quickly saluted Zhang Zhitao and replied in a very respectful tone, "Please rest assured, leader, I will definitely learn well from the captain."

Zhang Zhitao nodded with satisfaction after hearing Zhang Bin's promise. Considering that this was a joint case, Zhang Zhitao reminded Jia Dongming, "Comrade Dongming! Although we are in charge of leading this special case team, this case involves the violation of laws and disciplines. When the comrades from the disciplinary department arrive, you must cooperate with each other. You can't ignore the comrades from the brother units just because we are in charge."

Jia Dongming smiled and nodded when he heard Zhang Zhitao's instructions. He replied, "Captain Zhang! Don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with the comrades in the brother units to bring all the criminals involved in this case to justice."

After hearing Jia Dongming's promise, Zhang Zhitao smiled and patted Jia Dongming on the shoulder, saying in a very cordial tone: "Okay! Then I'll wait for your good news!"

After leaving Zhang Zhitao's office, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Li Xianjin, "Captain Li! Don't rush back to the branch. Come to my office and sit for a while. I have some ideas about the next investigation of this case and I want to discuss them with you."

When Li Xianjin heard what Jia Dongming said, he immediately nodded and followed Jia Dongming towards his office.

Jia Dongming walked into his office and immediately instructed Zhang Bin who was following closely behind him: "Zhang Bin! There is no hot water in my office. Take a teacup from the cabinet behind my desk and make a cup of tea for Captain Li."

When Zhang Bin heard Jia Dongming's instructions, he nodded immediately, then went to the cabinet to get teacups and made tea for Jia Dongming and Li Xianjin.

After Jia Dongming invited Li Xian to sit down, he smiled and said to him, "Captain Li! I remember hearing you mention that you knew this Liu Jiangping. If I'm not mistaken, Liu Jiangping must have been very concerned about your case handling process before he found the account book. He might even take the opportunity of knowing you to invite you to dinner and then take the opportunity to test your opinion."

"My idea is this. If Liu Jiangping comes to you to sound you out, you can pretend to accidentally reveal that you have already got some clues and give Liu Jiangping a heads-up! Only in this way can we have a chance to find out who Liu Jiangping's accomplices are."

When Li Xianjin heard the reason why Jia Dongming came to see him, he immediately understood the purpose of Jia Dongming's arrangement and quickly assured Jia Dongming: "Captain Jia! I understand what you mean. I promise to handle this matter properly."
