Chapter 694: Chapter 656: Grand Finale_2
Mr. Zhao’s hand patted Zhou Ning on the back as he spoke,
"You should be happy, this indirectly proves the authenticity of the text your father left behind. It’s the most persuasive evidence."
Xu Dayuan also nodded in agreement.
"Let’s go meet these people."
Zhou Ning nodded his head.
"Okay, but Director Xu, you mentioned this hyena. If he is indeed inside the Ganzhou City Public Security Bureau, what can we do to stop all this?"
Xu Dayuan stroked his chin.
"I haven’t slept all night thinking about this. Not summoning Bai Qishan for interrogation shouldn’t be a problem, but once we do, the hyena will definitely stop at nothing, and that hunter outside, hungry like a wolf, will act as well. It’s just that we don’t know if there are still accomplices in Ganzhou that we haven’t caught.
As for what to do, it’s indeed hard to predict. They might choose a sniper for long-range intervention. After all, the temporary detention place here is downstairs. To get Bai Qishan for interrogation, one would need to come out from below, pass through the courtyard, and enter the interrogation room in the main building. That’s something the hunter should be best at since he once lay in ambush for Zhou Ning for a long time.
Or perhaps, they will resort to the most brutal method, attacking the Ganzhou City Public Security Bureau at all costs to silence Bai Qishan, especially since he represented Minjin in negotiations with Sapporo. If this comes to light, both parties will be pushed to the forefront of controversy."
Mr. Zhao thought for a moment then waved his hand dismissively.
"A sniper assassination is not very realistic. Although the hunter’s shooting skills are decent, the nearest high buildings are seven or eight hundred meters away. Hitting a target from such a distance in one shot is very difficult, and he’ll only have one chance to fire. If he’s that far, there’s no backup plan."
Zhou Ning paused. What Mr. Zhao said made a lot of sense. Although in movies, sniper shots seem to be the most secretive means of assassination, this only applies to high points that are conducive to concealment and offer a chance for a one-shot kill.
At this time, the enemy would surely want to kill everyone, not just Bai Qishan but also the other captives. Even though these individuals might not know much, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, the more fragmented information they have, the more likely it is that the police and National Security Department could piece together the whole picture.
"What would you do if it were you?"
Mr. Zhao gave a look.
"I’m not a criminal. Have you been watching too many movies like ’Solitary Hero’ and ’The Adventurer’? What era do you think this is? All the large ammunition has been hidden by your father in a cave—why would they go through so much effort to find it?
Do you think this is the Golan Heights, where you can just buy various models of RPG rocket launchers with money and go ’bam bam bam’ at the Ganzhou City Public Security Bureau? What a joke. Guns have been banned for how many years? It can’t be so radical. They also have to consider the implications."
Xu Dayuan waved his hand.
"Enough of this. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. It’s useless to keep speculating. The only thing we can do now is to prepare our defense, respond to moves as they come. Bai Qishan might be the second-in-command, but with his capable aides caught, the hyena’s teeth have been pulled. I don’t believe he would dare to upset the table and risk everything.
Let’s go to the conference room. Once the people from the department’s investigation team arrive, we can transfer all the evidence and personnel. As for everything about your parents, it has been thoroughly investigated. Just check the archives for a comparison, and you’ll know who the traitor is."
Zhou Ning didn’t say much more and followed Xu Dayuan and Mr. Zhao to the second-floor conference room. When Xu Dayuan entered, the previously noisy room fell silent.
Liu Yufei looked unhappy; it was clear that an argument had just taken place here. Xu Dayuan did not ask further. He walked to the central position, Mr. Qu opened the laptop, and Xu Dayuan pressed down with his hands before smiling at Huang Yubin and Xing Shusheng.
"Everyone, please take a seat. After several days of investigation, a case that has been dormant for twenty years involving the abuse and murder of eight children has now implicated several departments. Three days ago, due to some major discoveries in the cave, I requested support from the leaders of Longyou Province and Ludong Province.
This is something I believe you all understand, and I won’t hide it here. Let’s brief everyone on the case and discuss the issues. When investigating the abuse and murder of eight children, we discovered a branch of the Aum Shinrikyo faith—Yagelangha, deep inside the cave.
Deputy leader of the special task unit, Mr. Huang, is responsible for the investigation, as well as tracing the source of the mercury. Just now at the main entrance, Mr. Huang shared some findings with me, but the investigation on that side didn’t turn out well, so let me share with you what I know from my side of the investigation.
Upon investigation, Yagelangha turns out to be of the same origin as Aum Shinrikyo, which disappeared in Sapporo in the early 1990s, having the same beliefs, modes of dissemination, development ideas, and even control over followers. Here are the relevant research materials.
The documents from Sapporo were provided by the local police, other literature by researchers of the United Nations, and finally, a video segment. This is an explanation from Professor Li Chengbin, the teacher of Director Zhou Ning. I wonder if Directors Xing and Huang would accept these findings?"
Xu Dayuan’s opening speech had enough impact. Such research, if only Sapporo police evidence was presented, you could argue its insufficiency. But could you refute the United Nations related investigation?
Of course, there was also Li Chengbin, an authority in his field. Anyone wishing to refute would have to weigh their own importance.
With these results out, Huang Yubin appeared even more embarrassed. After all, the slap was quite loud, and he wasn’t even given a chance to retort. After all, in any respect, he was not comparable. Even presenting tourism statistics made him feel uncomfortable.
