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

Chapter 740: If you spare the others, Li Jianguo is doomed.

If you've ever seen a murder case investigated quickly and the evidence is conclusive, Li Jianguo is no exception in this regard.

Of course, regarding the murder case in the UK, besides the evidence, another point is that someone has already communicated with Li Jianguo about this matter.

Li Jianguo is not alone. Whether he faces the death penalty or some other punishment, he will ultimately have to face legal consequences. The Public Security Bureau will not let him go, and of course, it's impossible for them to let him go either, as the case is known to multiple departments, and there are more than just one or two people who are aware of it.

Whether Li Jianguo implicates others or not is no longer important, because Li Jianguo also has to think about his family, his wife and children.

Besides his first wife, with whom he had two children, Li Jianguo also kept three mistresses, two of whom bore him sons.

You've investigated the situation and met the person behind it. Promise him that Li Jianguo's relatives and family members will continue to enjoy a comfortable life.

In reality, Qin Chuan didn't need to investigate too thoroughly. He met with the so-called lawyer that very evening, and as for how they communicated and exchanged information, Qin Chuan didn't need to install video; he could just imagine and guess what was going on.

In an effort to mitigate his punishment, Li Jianguo revealed everything he knew about and had been involved in, involving far more than just one or two people.

Of course, Qin Chuan had already explained the reason in the phone call he received earlier. Regarding the administrative investigation, the interrogation here needs to be redone, and all the previous records may have to be cleared.

For Qin Chuan, it didn't matter. He had already handed over the relevant materials to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Whether they investigated, what they found out, to what extent, and within what scope was none of his concern. He only needed to keep a close eye on Li Jianguo.

Then comes the entire smuggling chain.

Qin Chuan will not let this go either.

Li Jianguo and his gang were able to smuggle goods for twenty or thirty years without getting into trouble.

It's not just on the smuggling route; they have their own people in various places, and it has become a large-scale operation with special channels. Most importantly, they have bribed many key personnel in the relevant departments, such as the Chengbei New District Public Security Bureau.

Li Qiang, who was in charge of smuggling, and their bureau chief Zhang Yan both followed Li Jianguo's lead.

Below them, a group of trusted confidants were specifically tasked with protecting Bright Dairy Group's smuggling operations. This is the main reason why they were able to transport goods to the Beishan base in such a high-profile manner after entering from overseas.

These people were so arrogant that they sometimes even had police cars clear the way for them to transport smuggled goods; they were simply lawless.

At the Chengbei New District Public Security Bureau, the people being dealt with this time are not only the bureau chief and the deputy bureau chief, but also the heads of some police stations, some middle-level managers, and other involved personnel.

Some of these people called Qin Chuan to plead for them, but Qin Chuan ignored them all.

He came to the Nanchuan City Public Security Bureau with a mission. The reason he adopted a relatively conciliatory approach was to avoid making enemies or to lull the other side into complacency. But when it really came down to it, when it really came to Qin Chuan and he had to deal with something, no one could help him.

He had already given face to relevant city leaders and those who had rated him, and the reason he acted so quickly and investigated so thoroughly was to gain leverage in negotiations. Qin Chuan had already achieved this.

If he didn't have that many leverage, then it's very possible that the case of Li Jianguo's murder might not even be solved.

But things are different now. His rapid interrogation of Li Jianguo, involving smuggling and murder, uncovered connections to several other systems and departments. The question now is whether those behind the scenes want to protect Li Jianguo or the others. For most people, the issue of Li Jianguo's murder case is no longer a concern. Nobody wants to get involved, so Li Jianguo is bound to be arrested. However, if the others can be protected, that's what they'll do. Protecting them is Qin Chuan's negotiating tactic—using others to reduce the other side's focus on Li Jianguo's case.
