Director Qin came to a realization.

These two guns were definitely stolen by Song Guanchao!

But, when exactly did he steal them?

He was clearly detained in the interrogation room...

Wait!

The two of them remembered.

When they rushed to the interrogation room, Chen Lin and Ma Xiang were both knocked out on the ground.

Song Guanchao must have stolen their guns at that time!

Later, Song Guanchao asked Liang Jianfeng for clothes, obviously to conceal the guns!

After understanding this crucial point, the two were furious.

Xiang Dong roared, "Song Guanchao, hand over the guns!"

"What is Captain Xiang talking about?"

Song Guanchao looked puzzled, "What guns?"

"Stop pretending!"

Xiang Dong said, "You are the one who stole the guns!"

"Director Qin, I request to interrogate him immediately and make him confess the whereabouts of the guns!"

Although Director Qin was also angry, he knew what Song Guanchao intended to do.

He could have stolen the guns, but unless he produced them, no one could find them.

"Song Guanchao, what do you want?"

"What does Director Qin mean by that?"

Song Guanchao looked bewildered, "Didn't I say it? I'm offering you advice."

"Based on my analysis and speculation, it should be Ma Xiang and Chen Lin who angered Captain Xiang, and Captain Xiang wanted to retaliate against them, so he stole the guns himself."

"After all, Ma Xiang did sleep with his wife; anyone would find that intolerable."

"Director Liang, I suggest immediately arranging for someone to search Captain Xiang's home. There's a strong possibility those stolen guns are hidden there."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Dong was both shocked and enraged.

He knew that Song Guanchao wasn't just saying this to scare him.

Those two guns could very well be at his home right now.

"Song Guanchao, you damn well want to die!"

"Xiang Dong!"

Director Qin reprimanded him.

Xiang Dong's face contorted with rage, "Director Qin, this bastard is trying to frame me!"

Song Guanchao looked innocent, "What is Captain Xiang talking about? Framing me? We have no feud from the past and no grievance recently, why would I frame you? Also, I'm currently the suspect, how could I frame you?"

"If you're talking nonsense, I could accuse you of slander, you know."

"You..."

Xiang Dong was so furious blood rushed to his head, his body was trembling.

Only a sliver of rationality suppressed his anger, preventing him from taking action on the spot.

Director Qin watched Song Guanchao with a dark expression, "Secretary Song, it's best to leave people a way out, there's no need to push things to such extremes."

Then he turned to Xiang Dong, "Xiang Dong, apologize to Secretary Song!"

"I..." Xiang Dong almost choked on his frustration.

But he knew he couldn't keep cursing now.

The initiative was in Song Guanchao's hands.

If the two guns were indeed found at his home, he would be finished.

The deputy leader of the provincial task force was present.

They only looked at evidence.

If you claim Song Guanchao stole them, fine, produce the evidence.

Without evidence, it's slander.

And according to Song Guanchao's account, he did have grievances with Chen Lin and Ma Xiang.

Those two talked about his wife...

So even if it was clear that Song Guanchao was babbling nonsense, he had no solution.

Understanding all this in a moment, Xiang Dong begrudgingly bowed his head, "Secretary Song, I'm sorry!"

"Why apologize to me?"

Song Guanchao sneered, looking at Liang Jianfeng, "Director Liang, I have already given my suggestion. Furthermore, I suggest detaining Captain Xiang immediately, controlling the situation. Moreover, ask Director Qin to hand over his phone as well."

"Then, search Xiang Dong's home."

"Otherwise, as soon as he leaves this place, Captain Xiang might call someone to transfer the stolen guns."

"Director Liang, this Xiang Dong is the captain of the second team in the criminal police squad."

"If a criminal police officer breaks the law, this is not a minor offense."

Song Guanchao's words made the veins on Xiang Dong's forehead throb, and his fury uncontrollably rocketed up to his head.

He glared with wide eyes, "Song Guanchao, do you really want to ruin me?"

"Shut up!"

Director Liang suddenly yelled.

He knew Song Guanchao was adamant about taking Xiang Dong down.

In light of that, Liang Jianfeng complied.

He stood up and opened the interrogation room door, "Captain Shi."

Captain Shi came over.

Liang Jianfeng said, "Detain Xiang Dong."

"Yes."

Captain Shi walked in, "Xiang Dong, come with me."

Xiang Dong stood in front of the interrogation table, glaring at Song Guanchao through the table.

Captain Shi remained silent, hoping Xiang Dong would lose his temper and act out.

But he held back.

He took a deep breath, "Song Guanchao, you're ruthless!"

Then he turned and left with Captain Shi.

Director Qin looked grim, watching Song Guanchao for a few seconds, nodded, and left without a word.

He knew Song Guanchao wasn't targeting Xiang Dong, but was retaliating against him.

Xiang Dong's use of private punishment was under his orders.

That much, Song Guanchao definitely saw through.

He simply didn't expect Song Guanchao to be so tenacious.

Even when restrained, he could pull off such a move.

At the door, Director Qin suddenly paused, "Secretary Song, the law may be stretching but not loosening, on the day you're sentenced, I'll throw a feast to celebrate!"

"Ha."

Hearing this from him, Song Guanchao almost burst out laughing.

As Director Qin left the interrogation room, he saw Liang Jianfeng staring at him.

"Director Qin, please cooperate and hand over your phone temporarily."

"Liang Jianfeng..."

Liang Jianfeng suddenly squinted, "You won't cooperate?"

"You... fine, I'll cooperate!"

Director Qin had no doubt that if he refused at this moment, Liang Jianfeng would immediately send him to the interrogation room.

Cooperating or not, the outcome would be unchanged.

In that case, there was no need to resist.

Xiang Dong was irretrievably lost.

But it didn't matter.

Liang Jianfeng had gone to the Provincial City and was here only as part of the task force.

Once he left, the head of Lingjiang City Bureau would still be Qin Yuejin!

Let them have their way for now.

After securing both Xiang Dong and Director Qin, Liang Jianfeng organized a team to head to Xiang Dong's home immediately.

Captain Shi personally led the team, posting officers at the entrance, while others entered with recording devices to search the house.

Xiang Dong's home was turned upside down.

Half an hour later, an officer suddenly shouted, "Captain Shi, we found the guns!"

Captain Shi walked over, seeing an officer standing by the desk in the study.

In his hand were two guns.

"Bag them, and bring them back to compare serial numbers."

"Yes!"

...

In the interrogation room, Xiang Dong's heart was uneasy and restless.

Though certain that Song Guanchao stole the guns, and judging by Song Guanchao's actions, it was evident those guns were currently at his house.

Xiang Dong still clung to a sliver of hope.

"Creak."

The door to the interrogation room opened.

Captain Shi walked in, "Xiang Dong, police found the two missing handguns of Chen Lin and Ma Xiang at your house. Now, the police are placing you under arrest for multiple charges including endangering public safety, dereliction of duty, and theft!"

Xiang Dong's final sliver of hope was thoroughly extinguished by Captain Shi's words.
