The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

"After the discovery of this female corpse, the police department immediately received a report that a female corpse was found again in a hotel in Shanghu District. The identity of this female corpse is Qiu Feihong, a staff member of the Legal Department of the Shangqing City Police Bureau Shanghu Branch..."

The following time.

Chen Fang stood in front of the two leaders.

He recounted the details of the 626 case.

Of course, this also included the unexpected death of Xu Fengyuan after he took over the case.

At this moment.

Liu Yi was already a bit impatient.

He interrupted him, saying, "Comrade Chen Fang, the report on the 626 case has already been made by the city bureau and has been reported to the provincial leaders. Don't waste time, get straight to the point."

Qi Shouting nodded.

He said, "Yes, I've seen the case report. Skip this part and tell us what we don't know."

Chen Fang responded with a nod.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Li Xuan.

At this moment, she was already trembling with nervousness.

"Let me show you a video first."

After speaking.

Chen Fang pressed a button on the projector remote.

A "wild" image appeared on the screen.

This footage showed Qiu Feihong changing outfits in the secret room of the "Butterfly Charm" adult store.

The group of leaders.

Seeing such a scene, naturally felt a bit embarrassed.

Even Xu Yanchi couldn't help coughing to cover his awkwardness.

As everyone was feeling embarrassed to continue watching, a voice sounded: "Rest assured, leaders, I will definitely complete this task well. Young Master Qi has already called me, mmhm... I'm going over now."

Upon hearing the words "Young Master Qi."

Qi Shouting, who was initially lowering his head, immediately raised it.

Likewise.

This footage shocked Li Xuan tremendously.

Her breathing even began to quicken.

"Leaders, this footage was found by me from an adult store in this city, taken just hours before Qiu Feihong's death. I think upon hearing this, everyone is curious about this 'Young Master Qi', right? So am I. This footage easily makes one think that the person Qiu Feihong met before she died was Young Master Qi, and there's only one Young Master Qi in Shangqing City, who is Comrade Qi Kang."

Before Chen Fang could finish.

Liu Yi protested indignantly: "Chen Fang, this is conjecture. Aren't there other people with the surname Qi in Shangqing City?"

Clearly.

Liu Yi was speaking in favor of Qi Shouting.

In a public setting.

Qi Shouting couldn't lose his temper.

To demonstrate his fairness.

He said, "Comrade Liu Yi, don't interrupt Chen Fang, let him continue."

Liu Yi immediately showed a compliant expression, saying, "Alright, leader."

Chen Fang smiled.

He said, "I'm not speculating that this Young Master Qi is Comrade Qi Kang, because Comrade Qi Kang personally admitted to me that he did indeed meet Qiu Feihong that night, and their relationship occurred in that hotel."

"Ah..."

In the conference room.

Exclamations were heard.

Qi Shouting's expression turned increasingly unpleasant.

Chen Fang's line of thought inexplicably delighted Li Xuan.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Comrade Chen Fang, you're saying that Qiu Feihong's death is related to Qi Kang, right?"

Qi Shouting finally couldn't hold back and asked Chen Fang.

Chen Fang glanced at Li Xuan.

Slowly said, "Indeed it is related—but—Comrade Qi Kang didn't kill Qiu Feihong, nor does he know how Qiu Feihong was killed."

This sentence.

Instantly allowed Qi Shouting to breathe a sigh of relief.

And also made Li Xuan tense once again.

Only to see Chen Fang press the remote again.

A list of call records appeared on the projection screen.

"Leaders, this is the call list I retrieved from the telecommunications department for Qiu Feihong at that precise time. The number she was talking to at the time is the leader's number she mentioned, and this number is not registered under any name. It is an anonymous card."

"Frankly, the person who called Qiu Feihong still had a strong anti-surveillance sense, knowing to remotely command her with an unfamiliar number. But she forgot one thing, if this number is only used once, there won't be any problem. Once it's used multiple times, naturally there will be a flaw exposed."

Then.

Chen Fang pressed the remote again.

Another call list was displayed.

This time, it was the call record of that unfamiliar number.

Several numbers were marked in red on it.

When this picture appeared.

Li Xuan's eyes widened, her body already starting to tremble slightly.

"The numbers marked by the red pen are both of another deceased in this case, Yang Mu, and have current associations with Pang Dahai, Cen Qingmin, and even the number of Minister Li Xuan present here. In other words, the leader remotely commanding Qiu Feihong had contact with all the above individuals."

After Chen Fang finished speaking.

Swipe.

Everyone's gaze immediately turned toward Li Xuan.

Despite being nervous, Li Xuan still pretended to be calm and said, "This can't prove anything. Whose phone hasn't received a few nuisance calls?"

"Of course it can prove something, think back to Qiu Feihong's previous words; as long as one isn't a fool, they can understand. To Qiu Feihong, her 'date' with Comrade Qi Kang was seen as completing a task. Then who issued this task?"

Just as everyone awaited the revelation of the mystery.

Chen Fang took a transparent plastic bag from Shao Huai'an's hand.

Inside it contained a mobile phone.

He said, "We have already found the SIM card for this number; it was found in the office of the captain of the criminal police unit of the Shangqing City Police Bureau. The fingerprints left on it are enough to prove that the person who issued the task to Qiu Feihong was Song Keyun."

Another series of exclamations.

Everyone looked at each other.

The intricacies of this were somewhat incomprehensible.

Liu Yi took a deep breath and asked, "Comrade Chen Fang, the more I listen, the more confused I get. I remember Comrade Xu Fengyuan received a report before his death, which said Song Keyun had maintained improper relations with the two deceased for a long time. Why would he then send the deceased to Comrade Qi Kang?"

This question.

Was also what most of those present wanted to ask.

Chen Fang smiled faintly.

He said, "This report wasn't sent by others, but secretly submitted by Song Keyun himself to the Disciplinary Committee."

"What? How is this possible?"

"Right, who would set themselves up like that?"

"..."

The conference room suddenly filled with the sound of chattering.

Everyone was whispering, clearly skeptical of Chen Fang's conclusion.

Chen Fang didn't explain either.

He directly said, "Alright, I won't keep it a secret any longer. Please look at the big screen, next is Song Keyun himself
