The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 735 Silently Taking Down Li Jianguo

Li Jianguo was dumbfounded.

Over the years, he has held absolute power in both the legitimate and underworld circles of the North City New District, making him practically the local tyrant of the entire area.

Over the years, he not only protected the smuggling business in the city, but also lived an extremely luxurious private life.

Anything Li Jianguo set his sights on, he got; any woman he set his sights on, he slept with.

But there are always some tough nuts to crack in this world.

Three years ago, Li Jianguo took a fancy to a waitress while dining at a club.

As it turned out, the waitress's boyfriend, though poor and just a lowly laborer, was not lacking in ambition. After learning that his girlfriend had been raped, he actually grabbed a kitchen knife and tried to kill him.

Li Jianguo could have used systemic methods to deal with the other party, since it goes without saying what crime the other party committed by attacking a district party secretary with a kitchen knife.

However, Li Jianguo did not do that at the time; he ordered the people in the fortified village to arrest the other party directly.

And he raped the waitress again in front of her.

Then he imprisoned the two men and humiliated them every few days. Finally, in front of the waitress, he hacked the lowly worker to death.

Could it be that this incident... was recorded?

"Boss, there must be some misunderstanding here!"

Li Jianguo would never commit such a criminal act, but he has always been obedient in front of this old leader.

"Don't you know what kind of person I am, old leader? I abide by the law and regulations, how could I have done such things? This is all a frame-up, it must be something they fabricated."

"Shit!"

A roar came from the phone.

"The Discipline Inspection Commission can't do anything about this. It involves a criminal case, and they will immediately transfer the relevant evidence to the Public Security Bureau when they start work tomorrow. You need to use tonight to clean up all the mess. I might be able to put in a good word for you then, but you definitely can't keep your position as district party secretary."

"Also, you need to think clearly about what you should say, what you shouldn't say, what you should do, and what you shouldn't do. Do you understand what I mean?"

After hanging up the phone, Li Jianguo sat on the ground in a daze.

Of course he understands.

He's not an idiot.

His former boss held a high position and remained incorruptible for many years, but his incorruptibility did not mean that his son was the same, and that he did not love money.

Over the years, he served as the Party Secretary of the Chengbei New District, and it can be said that all the municipal engineering projects in the district were given to his son.

That's an investment of tens of billions!

But it's no use saying anything now. The other party's meaning is very clear: he can no longer serve as the district party secretary, but he can still save his life.

As for Qin Chuan...

Li Jianguo knew that calling Qingchun now would be useless. He could get the group to spread rumors about some minor things before, but now it concerned his life and fortune, and the Discipline Inspection Commission had surveillance video of him committing murder.

It’s over.

I'm doomed.

However, what Li Jianguo didn't know was who possessed this evidence and who delivered it to the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Regardless of the circumstances, Li Jianguo began to arrange the situation for the future. He immediately took advantage of this time to make arrangements. Whether he remained an official or not was irrelevant, but he still needed to pave the way for his future. As long as he was alive, he could still wield considerable influence in Nanchuan.

The next morning, Qin Chuan received a report from his subordinates after arriving at his office. The Discipline Inspection Commission had sent him the surveillance video of Li Jianguo's murder.

"Director Qin, what do you think we should do about this case?"

The person who came to report was Deputy Director Chen Jianguo.

He casually flipped through the relevant documents that Chen Jianguo had placed on the table. As for the video, he didn't even watch it; he had already seen it long ago.

"What can we do? Since it was transferred from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, we should handle the evidence according to normal procedures, and arrest and investigate those who should be arrested."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."

The phone call had already been completed that morning. Li Jianguo was taken directly from the Discipline Inspection Commission to the interrogation room of the Criminal Investigation Detachment. Li Jianguo was no longer the high and mighty district party secretary he had been the day before.
