In Hangzhou, Zhejiang, the leader of the anti-corruption bureau's task force was gloomy at this time, and he looked at several people standing in front of him who were also wearing black patrol uniforms, and his expression was a little terrifying.

"This matter has alarmed Your Majesty, it is impossible to be good, if the person who sits down on this matter is willing to take the initiative to stand up, then although I Li can't protect you, but I can guarantee to protect your family!"

"Team Leader Li is wronged, you know, as soon as the working group arrived in Hangzhou, I have been following you to investigate the case, and I have no grievances with Ning Yaoan, how could I murder him!" One of the middle-aged men said with a panicked expression.

Looking at the police badge on his shoulder, it is a second-class police academy, this rank is not low, compared to the military rank, it is a lieutenant colonel, usually the person with this rank is the director of the patrol police bureau of an important city, or an important leader in the provincial patrol police department.

And now this middle-aged man is full of panic in front of Team Leader Li, this is not only that Team Leader Li's police rank is a first-class police academy, but more importantly, Team Leader Li is the leader of Ning Yaoan's special case team, and the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Cabinet Patrol Police Department specially sent over, to exaggerate it, it is the central special envoy.

When Team Leader Li first led the team to Hangzhou, although the governor of Zhejiang Province, political envoys and other important leaders did not meet with this person in order to avoid suspicion, after arriving in Hangzhou, he directly commanded the patrol police agencies of Zhejiang Province to participate in the investigation of the Ning Yaoan case, which shows that his authority is huge.

At the same time, Team Leader Li is an important leader of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and at this critical moment, he was ordered to go to Hangzhou to investigate the case, which is enough to prove his importance, according to this person's qualifications and past achievements in handling cases. It is very possible not to be promoted to the rank of Inspector of Police of the Third Class in a few years, and the Inspector of the Third Class. This is already the director of a provincial patrol police department or an important leader in the subordinate departments and bureaus of the patrol police department.

Before Team Leader Li came to Hangzhou, he also got some news from the patrol police department. It is said that the figures involved in this case will be very large, and may even involve the cabinet, so the headquarters of the Anti-Corruption Bureau asked him to be cautious and cautious when investigating the case, no matter what the case is this time, the task of the Anti-Corruption Bureau is only to investigate the case, but the high-level struggle behind this does not intend to participate, and they are not qualified to participate.

After coming to Hangzhou, the working group quickly put Ning Yaoan under house arrest. This was followed by a formal arraignment, in which Team Leader Li was very careful, wanting to avoid contact with local high-ranking officials in Zhejiang Province to the greatest extent, and also to avoid making the matter known all over the world.

But I didn't expect that Rao was no matter how careful he was, but things still went wrong.

It was only a day since Ning Yaoan was officially arraigned, and Ning Yaoan died under house arrest that day, and more importantly, I don't know what channel the news came out. The next day, it was known to the whole world.

As soon as the incident broke out, Team Leader Li received a telegram from the bureau, which was sent by Zhong Bangkui, director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and scolded him in the telegram. said that he was not doing well, and that he had made such a big negligence, and strictly ordered him to control the situation. And to find out the truth, he Zhong Bangkui wants to see. Who is so powerful that a high-ranking deputy provincial official can die violently during the investigation.

Finally, he said. If Team Leader Li, you feel that your ability is insufficient, then hurry up and get out, and I will send someone else.

Team Leader Li, who was reprimanded, also felt the pressure he had never felt before, and as the direct person in charge of this case, Team Leader Li also knew a little bit of the inside story.

Before coming to Hangzhou, he had talked with the director of the bureau, Zhong Bangkui, but he had heard the director say with his own ears that His Majesty was very concerned about this matter.

This case is the attention of the Son of Heaven, how can he Li fail, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he will have to find a way.

While thinking about how to continue to investigate the case, Team Leader Li also looked at the people in front of him, these people are all local senior patrol police officials in Zhejiang, but where are the high-ranking officials now, they are all crying and crying like frightened little children.

What makes Team Leader Li even more depressed is that he can't tell whether these people are really scared or pretended.

Ning Yaoan's violent death and the outflow of news were 100% involved in the involvement of insiders, and Team Leader Li was very sure that the people involved were local officials in Zhejiang Province.

Because the members of the working group brought by Team Leader Li were all temporarily transferred, some were drawn from within the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and some were temporarily transferred from Shanghai and Jiangsu, and they did not know each other before they came to Hangzhou, and their identities and backgrounds have always been kept secret, if these people have been infiltrated, then Team Leader Li has to suspect that this is not an ordinary person, but those perverts of the palace intelligence department.

In addition, with the death of Ning Yaoan, what was originally just an ordinary corruption case has risen to a homicide case, and it is also a high-ranking official homicide case, and it is already difficult to control the situation with his own anti-corruption bureau.

It seems that it is necessary to ask for the help of brother units.

After driving out the patrol officers from Zhejiang Province, Team Leader Li immediately went out, and it didn't take long for him to appear in a small courtyard in Hangzhou.

The courtyard is small in scale, and there is an inconspicuous signboard hanging in front of the door: Hangzhou Office of the Joint Investigation Bureau of the Patrol Police Department.

It is the office of the Joint Investigation Bureau, one of the country's three major intelligence agencies.

Although the Joint Investigation Bureau, like the Anti-Corruption Bureau, is nominally directly subordinate to the Patrol Police, in fact the gap between the two is very large, and the Anti-Corruption Bureau is a department under the Patrol Police Department in the true sense, and its functions and powers are completely vested in the Patrol Police.

However, although the Joint Investigation Bureau nominally bears the prefix of the Patrol Department, in fact this agency is directly responsible to the Emperor, and the Minister of the Patrol Department has no right to intervene.

In addition, unlike the Anti-Corruption Bureau, which can only be regarded as a sub-agency of the central government, it is usually responsible for more guidance work, and when major cases occur, it dispatches working groups.

The Joint Bureau of Investigation, on the other hand, has branches in all provinces, and in addition to these branches on the surface, there are also some hidden stations.

Both are prefixed with the patrol department, and both are called bureaus, but the size of the authority of the two is completely different.

Although outsiders don't know what Team Leader Li said or who he met, they can tell what Team Leader Li is doing, and he is asking for help.

It is also true that although the Joint Investigation Bureau is an intelligence agency, it is also within their purview to investigate important and major cases.

The next day, the Hangzhou Office of the Joint Investigation Bureau sent personnel to directly break into the Zhejiang Provincial Patrol Police Department and the Hangzhou Prefecture Patrol Police Bureau in Hangzhou, and directly took away five senior patrol officers from the two major patrol police organizations, of course, in the name of assisting in the investigation.

Immediately afterwards, the working group of the Anti-Corruption Bureau officially issued an announcement to all sectors of society: saying that Ning Yaoan died of a heart attack because he could not bear the pressure during the interrogation, which was purely an accident, and hoped that all sectors of society would not spread rumors.

But just after the news was announced, Team Leader Li, who returned to the office of the working group, looked at the dozen or so newly arrived patrol officers of the working group in the room, and said in a calm voice: "Check, check hard, I must find out who killed Ning Yao'an for Lao Tzu!"
