Diary of a Criminal Investigator

Chapter 605: Lu Chuan Takes Charge

Duan Sihai’s situation is quite special because he has a severe heart condition and cannot be detained temporarily.However, Duan Sihai is only the mastermind behind the case; the actual kidnappers responsible for the disappearance of 12 people are others.

But who exactly they are, the investigation has now reached a stalemate.

Duan Sihai has already been sent to the hospital but remains tight-lipped.

Qin Yong and others, although they have evidence of Duan Sihai’s criminal activities, are still far from dismantling the entire crime syndicate.

Criminal Investigation Team meeting room.

Qin Yong presides over the meeting.

Although Lu Chuan was shot in the arm, the damage caused by the bullet passing through is not particularly severe, and fortunately, no bones were hit.

And because the investigation has hit a bottleneck, Lu Chuan returned to work immediately after a brief treatment of the wound at the hospital.

What to do?

Now, everyone in the Criminal Investigation Team is at a loss.

Even Qin Yong’s previous warnings to the mid-level officers now seem to be a joke.

Although Duan Sihai was arrested, he has a heart condition, and his identity is special, making detention impossible.

He’s currently at First People’s Hospital, watched by four detectives from the Criminal Investigation Team outside his room.

But as long as he refuses to speak, no interrogation can proceed.

During the arrest, all those who resisted capture with firearms were shot dead.

Those foreign doctors knew nothing.

They only knew how to perform surgeries.

As for who directed them, to them, all Chinese people look alike, indistinguishable.

Just like how foreigners look the same to Chinese people.

Hoping to break through by questioning them... difficult.

And as long as Duan Sihai remains silent, this criminal organization might disappear underground.

Wanting to catch them later...

The attendees looked at Qin Yong’s face, as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the whole room remained silent.

It’s no longer about catching traitors; if this issue is dropped now...

Where would the dignity of the Criminal Investigation Team be?

Of course, regarding the kidnapping case itself, apart from one person being murdered, all the others have been found.

As for the murderer, it’s quite simple; it’s those foreign doctors.

This morning, Song Jiangguo called Qin Yong.

He implied that someone decided the case should end at this stage.

Three days, there’s only three days left now.

This is the maximum time Song Jiangguo could secure for Qin Yong.

Once the deadline passes and the case remains unresolved, no one can protect Qin Yong.

Even if Song Jiangguo insists, he will bear the corresponding responsibility.

"Can we apply to investigate the Four Seas Group?"

Zhang Hui put forward his idea.

Duan Sihai is the leader of the Four Seas Group; if he is in trouble, Zhang Hui doesn’t believe the group has no issues at all.

Everyone has speculations about what shady businesses go on inside the Thousand-Year Sanatorium.

But some things can only be thought about, not spoken aloud.

In fact, this is one of the important reasons why Duan Sihai, even when caught, remains fearless.

More than one person has disappeared over the years, and how many organs can Duan Sihai use?

And if Duan Sihai hasn’t used these organs, where have the others gone?

On whom have they been used?

Do those dignitaries know about this trade behind the scenes?

Even assuming everything is legal, what about the cost of the surgeries?

A small kidney transplant already costs millions, let alone the expenses for post-operative rejection recovery at the sanatorium.

Just thinking about these things is chilling.

"This... is very difficult."

Ren Qiang frowned.

He disagreed with Zhang Hui’s suggestion: "Everyone here is clear about the status of the Four Seas Group in our city."

"Investigating the Four Seas Group will certainly affect the group’s business."

"Leaving other sectors aside, the Four Seas Group controls nearly a third of our city’s heating companies."

"With year-end approaching and the weather getting colder, if they claim they can’t ensure heating at this point, who will take responsibility?"

"Let alone other oil, gas, and various energy supplies."

"If we act against the Four Seas Group now without concrete evidence immediately, and they retaliate, our whole Criminal Investigation Team won’t be able to handle it."

"So we just let it go? Even though we know he’s guilty, we can’t do anything?"

Zhang Hui was somewhat agitated.

As he said.

Duan Sihai is clearly guilty of heinous crimes, but because of his status and the power he holds with the Four Seas Group.

Because of his heart condition, because of his age, is the Criminal Investigation Team really powerless against him?

Ren Qiang sighed.

Zhang Hui is still young and lacks experience.

In the past, catching someone with a watch was harder than climbing up to heaven.

No matter what, we have caught the criminal and the evidence; Duan Sihai is already in custody.

What’s left is evidence.

Once we find the evidence, everything else is manageable.

"Don’t get agitated; agitation solves nothing."

Qin Yong, on the other hand, became calm.

The struggle is like this, a life-and-death situation.

As for Duan Sihai, it’s all or nothing at this point.

Otherwise, he’ll face ruthless judgment and prison.

And Qin Yong and his team would gain nothing from acting blindly in haste.

Currently, the most advantageous situation is still with the Criminal Investigation Team.

After all, Duan Sihai was caught on the spot at North Mountain Hospital, preparing for illegal transplantation.

And those protecting him carried firearms illegally.

Just these two charges are enough to take Duan Sihai down, regardless of his identity, wealth. No one can wash away these crimes.

If not, even if Qin Yong has to resign, he would seek justice!

The meeting didn’t last long.

"Lu, don’t take part in the remaining cases, focus on healing!"

Lu Chuan getting shot, honestly, almost scared Qin Yong to death.

If Lu Chuan’s family were to find out, what would happen?

Not to mention parental worry, could they possibly force Lu Chuan to retire?

Putting oneself in their shoes, if Qin Yong were a billionaire, and his son was risking his life in the Criminal Investigation Team and got shot, he’d make his son retire by any means.

"Captain Qin, don’t worry about me, it didn’t hit the bone, it’s just a small caliber pistol, not a big issue."

"Besides, if I get hospitalized, my family will definitely know."

"You have to keep this a secret for me."

"Lu Chuan!"

As they were talking, Shen Yan suddenly ran over.

"You!"

Forensic Doctor Shen looked at Lu Chuan’s already bandaged arm, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

She had just heard from someone that Lu Chuan was shot during a mission!
