Chapter 683: Tune the tiger away from the mountain!

Because he had a case on hand, after leaving the courtyard at around seven o'clock in the morning, Jia Dongming did not go to the steel rolling mill to work as usual, but rode his bicycle towards the municipal bureau.

"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"

Jia Dongming had just walked into the office of the Second Brigade of the Criminal Investigation Corps when the phone on the desk suddenly rang. Jia Dongming picked up the receiver and politely asked, "Hello! I'm Jia Dongming. Who is this?"

"Captain Jia! Good morning, I'm Chen Weiguo from the Fengtai Branch. We've just received a report from the public that Liu Jiangping and his entire family were killed last night." As soon as Jia Dongming finished asking, Chen Weiguo's very urgent report came over the phone.

Jia Dongming heard Chen Weiguo's report and learned that Liu Jiangping's family had been killed. He was shocked and instinctively stood up from his desk. He asked Chen Weiguo seriously, "Captain Chen! What did you just say? Liu Jiangping's family was killed? Is this true?"

Chen Weiguo heard Jia Dongming's question and felt the shock in Jia Dongming's words. He answered with certainty: "Captain Jia! This is absolutely true. I am going to the crime scene now. Do you want to go and take a look?"

When Jia Dongming confirmed the news that Liu Jiangping had been silenced, his expression became extremely solemn. From the establishment of the task force to now, it had been less than twenty-four hours, and the suspect Liu Jiangping had been silenced. This alone was enough to show that someone within their group had tipped off the real culprit.

Thinking of the monitoring task he had given to the Second Brigade before returning to the steel mill yesterday, Jia Dongming's face showed an angry expression. He said to Chen Weiguo in a very serious tone: "Captain Chen! You go to the crime scene first. I will leave for the crime scene as soon as I finish the things on hand."

When Chen Weiguo heard Jia Dongming's answer, he immediately replied, "Okay! Captain Jia! Then I will go to the crime scene first, and we will meet there."

After Jia Dongming hung up the phone with Chen Weiguo, he quickly came to the door of Zhang Zhitao's office. He saw Zhang Zhitao sitting at his desk, reached out and knocked on the door, and shouted to Zhang Zhitao sitting in the office: "Report! I have something very important to report."

Zhang Zhitao heard Jia Dongming's report and instinctively looked up. Seeing Jia Dongming standing at the door of the office, he asked Jia Dongming with curiosity, "Comrade Dongming! Please come in. You came to see me so early in the morning. What's the matter?"

When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Zhitao's question, he quickly walked into Zhang Zhitao's office and reported to him in a serious tone, "Captain! I just received a call from Chen Weiguo of the Fengtai Branch. Liu Jiangping's entire family was killed last night in the courtyard where he lived."

When Zhang Zhitao saw Jia Dongming's serious expression, he immediately realized what had happened. Now that he learned that Liu Jiangping had been killed, Zhang Zhitao's face was full of shock. He blurted out to Jia Dongming, "Comrade Jia Dongming! I remember that before you left the Municipal Bureau yesterday evening, you arranged for comrades from the Second Brigade to secretly monitor Liu Jiangping. Since you arranged for people to monitor Liu Jiangping's every move, why was Liu Jiangping silenced?" When Jia Dongming heard the question raised by Zhang Zhitao, he said to Zhang Zhitao with a very serious expression, "Captain Zhang! Regarding this issue, not only do you want to know, but I also want to figure it out."

"In addition, the task force was only established yesterday, but before 24 hours had passed, Liu Jiangping's entire family was killed. This is enough to show that there is a problem within us or with the disciplinary department. If we don't find a way to find this traitor, there is almost no chance of solving this case."

Zhang Zhitao's expression became very solemn when he heard Jia Dongming's answer. He instructed Jia Dongming seriously, "Comrade Jia Dongming! Not many people know about the establishment of a special investigation team. Let me be responsible for investigating this matter. As for the mistakes made by the Second Brigade, you need to investigate it yourself. No matter who is involved, get to the bottom of it."

When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Zhitao's order, he immediately nodded and replied seriously, "Captain Zhang! I'm going to the office first to ask what happened last night, and then I'll go to the crime scene to see if I can find some valuable clues."

When Zhang Zhitao heard Jia Dongming's answer and learned of Jia Dongming's thoughts, he immediately nodded and replied seriously, "Okay! Let's handle it according to your ideas."

After Jia Dongming left Zhang Zhitao's office, he quickly walked to the office of the Second Brigade and asked the two subordinates who were dozing off in the office: "Zhou Gang! Wang Zhi! Yesterday, you two were responsible for monitoring Liu Jiangping. When did you return?"

Zhou Gang and Wang Zhi, who were dozing off, suddenly woke up when they heard Jia Dongming's question. Seeing Jia Dongming's serious expression, Wang Zhi immediately reported to him, "Captain! As soon as we received the mission yesterday, we immediately began to secretly monitor Liu Jiangping."

"We followed Liu Jiangping from the FT District Grain Station to his home and kept surveillance until about 3 a.m., when we accidentally spotted two thieves committing theft. We arrested them and handed them over to the local police station. We then returned to Liu Jiangping's home and continued our surveillance until our colleagues who were supposed to take over the shift arrived in the morning, and then we returned to the police station."

After hearing Wang Zhi's report, Jia Dongming could guess without thinking that the two had fallen into each other's trap. Looking at the two exhausted men, Jia Dongming introduced them to them in a serious manner: "Zhou Gang! Wang Zhi! I just received a call from Captain Chen Weiguo of the FT District Branch. Liu Jiangping and his family were killed last night."

"What? How is this possible? Last night, except for the time when we were away from our post for more than forty minutes when we caught the thief, we stayed on duty the rest of the time. How could Liu Jiangping's family be silenced?" When Zhou Gang heard the news that Jia Dongming told them, an expression of disbelief came to his face, and he blurted out the report to Jia Dongming.

When Jia Dongming heard Zhou Gang's rebuttal and saw the incredulous expression on his face, he replied with certainty, "This is absolutely true. I estimate that Wang Bin and Chen Yu, who are in charge of the surveillance mission today, should already be on their way back to report."
