After speaking, Li Chuan hung up the phone.
Soon, the sound of sirens blared outside the red brick factory, and shortly after, a convoy of police cars roared in.
Zhao Donglai was the first to step out, and the scene before him made his spine tingle.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, and around ten bodies lay scattered on the ground.
Standing in the middle were only Li Chuan and Wen Qingqing.
In fact, after killing Zhu Dayou, Li Chuan could have easily set fire to the place and burned everyone, without the hassle of calling the police.
The reason was that Zhu Dayou had a sensitive background; he had an uncle who was a high-ranking prosecutor. If Li Chuan just left, they could easily target Gao Jinyu and Wen Qingqing.
And these two were his women.
He might be a scoundrel, but he couldn't stand by and watch his women being targeted, could he?
So, he decided to take the matter upon himself.
Let them come directly for him.
After all, the power struggles in the political arena are just as perilous.
"What... what exactly happened here? Chuan, why did you kill people?" Zhao Donglai was full of doubt.
He knew of Li Chuan's abilities very well. If he wanted to kill someone, he didn't need to involve them at all.
After all, the Jianghu has its own rules.
If the rules of Jianghu couldn't resolve it, then this matter could indeed become troublesome.
Li Chuan then recounted the story.
Zhao Donglai suddenly understood: "So that's how it is. I get it. Let's get Teacher Wen to the hospital first."
Wen Qingqing had just been scared, but she was not really hurt.
The problem now was Zhu Dayou's death, the old red brick factory had its circuitry and signals cut off long ago. What Li Chuan said was only one side of the story and couldn't prove it was self-defense, so defining this incident was still quite troublesome.
...
Su Bei.
Port City.
Cao Xiong sat in his office, listening to the secretary's report: "Zhu Dayou is dead, killed by someone named Li Chuan. Ten minutes after the incident, the local public security bureau chief Zhao Donglai was already on the scene with his team."
"The situation is now expanding."
Cao Xiong squinted his eyes, the secretary's report was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Originally, it was just a simple matter of dealing with a Jianghu person, he didn't take it seriously, but who could have known this nephew of his, Zhu Dayou, was nothing but a fool!
Instead of gaining advantage, he ended up losing even his life!
After a moment of silence, Cao Xiong seemed to remember something: "Dead is dead, this fool couldn't even handle a woman, what could I expect from him? If he had fixed Wen Qingqing, there wouldn't be so many problems afterward?"
Although Cao Xiong was disappointed with Zhu Dayou, he already had a plan in mind. After a moment of hesitation, he picked up a phone from the coffee table and dialed a number.
The case of Li Chuan must be resolved quickly. They must deal with Li Chuan, or else if Zhao Donglai keeps digging, he might end up implicated!
"Mr. Qi, I just received some Wuyi Da Hong Pao. I remember you enjoy this so I'm planning to send some to you!"
"Prosecutor Cao, you've just been promoted, I should be the one congratulating you!"
"Between us, why so formal, hahaha..."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries over the phone, and many things went unspoken but understood.
That evening, at the Jiangzhou City Public Security Bureau, Li Chuan was arranged to be interrogated by another team of police, replacing the team Zhao Donglai had previously assigned to watch over Li Chuan.
When Zhao Donglai returned to the police station from Liu Zhenmin's place, he was surprised to see a figure sitting in his office.
"Mr. Qi, why are you here? You should have called me earlier so I could come to pick you up!"
Qi Tongwei, Deputy Head of the Jiangnan Provincial Public Security Department, was usually so busy that Zhao Donglai couldn't meet him even after several trips to the provincial capital. Now, this big shot was in his office, how could he not be shocked?
Qi Tongwei had a stern face: "Such a vile murder case in Jiangzhou City, how could I sleep at night as the deputy head?"
Zhao Donglai: "Mr. Qi, please leave this case to me. I guarantee it will be handled beautifully!"
Qi Tongwei remained expressionless: "This case is too big. I've decided to form a special task force."
"Donglai, you and your team have worked hard. Let the task force handle it from here, and you all can take a rest."
Qi Tongwei was Zhao Donglai's superior. Even though Zhao Donglai wielded power in Jiangzhou City, he had no choice when faced with his superior.
That evening, Li Chuan was placed in an interrogation room. The special task force began a strategy, trying to make Li Chuan break down and confess.
However, this method, effective on common people, was useless on Li Chuan.
Until 4 a.m., Qi Tongwei was almost falling asleep in his office.
He lit a cigarette for himself, extinguished it halfway, and then walked to the interrogation room.
At this moment, Li Chuan was shackled, both handcuffs and leg irons, locked to the interrogation chair, which could be said to be the highest level of treatment.
"Li Chuan, I know you have some skills, but do you know, people like you are what we hate the most!"
"Chivalry breaches the law, this isn't just illegal, it's a massive taboo for the officials!"
"I advise you, don't keep resisting. You won't hold up. Plead guilty early, suffer less, and I'll plead for leniency with the judge, aiming for a lighter sentence."
"If you keep walking down the dark path, no one can save you!"
Qi Tongwei spoke sternly, as if he was genuinely considering Li Chuan's situation.
Li Chuan: "Yes, I killed Zhu Dayou, but it was self-defense for his kidnapping, rape, threats, blackmail, extortion, and he brought over a hundred thugs to ambush me. It was self-defense. If I don't retaliate, should I just stand there and wait to be killed? Watch my teacher get defiled?"
Qi Tongwei frowned: "Do you have evidence for what you're saying?"
Li Chuan sneered: "I killed these scum, removing evil and benefiting the public. Why don't you investigate properly instead of being quick to convict me? Are you trying to serve the people, or is there something else?"
Qi Tongwei's face turned dark: "Don't think we can't handle you. You want a site inspection? All signs at the scene indicate you're the murderer. So many people died there, can't they all identify you?"
"As for your interrogation, it's just a formality. You're a smart man, you should understand that."
Hearing this, Li Chuan frowned again.
"Alright, continue working him hard, don't let him rest."
Qi Tongwei left this instruction before turning and leaving.
The next morning, Song Hanzhang, Huo Xiuxiu, Yang Xin'Er, Han Chen, and Ma Yuanzhi all came to visit after receiving the news, but were blocked at the gate, leaving them helpless.
