Chapter 135

On the way back, Wang Daolin sat in the police car, scrolling through his phone, specifically taking a look at Microblog.

Sure enough, only three or four hours had passed, and there were already reports about the incident on Twitter. One post caught Wang Daolin's attention.

It read: "Tonight, a shootout occurred at the Bullseye Bar, resulting in an explosion at the scene, killing seven people and injuring more than ten..."

The post also included a large number of photos of the bar's interior, including corpses, the explosion site, tourists fleeing, and police officers working. It seemed that a busybody had taken them at the scene and posted them online.

Wang Daolin frowned and checked the post, finding that it had already climbed to fifth place on the trending list.

Many people on Microblog were discussing the matter, especially users in Dragon City, who were posting candle emojis under the post to express their condolences.

The police officer sitting next to him also saw the trending search. He couldn't help but look up and sigh: "Hey, it's already fifth on the trending list in such a short time. Chief Wang, are we having some bad luck lately? First, the San Guang Society, and now this explosion! Damn it, should we go to a temple to pray when we have time? I heard that the Hongshan Temple is very effective."

Wang Daolin glanced at the young police officer, his face looking unpleasant, and didn't respond.

The young police officer didn't continue to chat and just lowered his head to browse Microblog.

...

About half an hour later, the police car stopped at the entrance of the police station. Wang Daolin led a dozen police officers, pushed open the car door, and walked into the police station lobby.

At this time, the police station was still brightly lit, and the police officers were busy inside and out.

In the case-handling hall, a dozen young men were squatting on the ground, wearing handcuffs, and were lining up to be questioned.

These people didn't seem nervous at all, obediently lined up in a row, and even whispered to each other.

In the interrogation room, a police officer asked a burly man.

"Name?"

"Home address?"

"What did you go to the Bullseye Bar for tonight?"

The police officers asked according to the script, and the suspects answered according to the script, making the process very fast.

Wang Daolin stood at the door and glanced around, knowing that these people should be Da Lao Wang's subordinates, so he pushed open a door and shouted to a police captain: "Lao Wu, come here."

Lao Wu was sitting there looking at the transcript. Hearing Wang Daolin call him, he immediately got up, walked to his side in a few steps, and asked, "Chief Wang, what's the matter?"

Wang Daolin pointed to Da Lao Wang's subordinates and asked directly, "What's the situation now?"

"These people surrendered themselves and are giving them statements." Lao Wu lowered his voice and said, "I guess the higher-ups have already reached an agreement."

"..." Wang Daolin was silent for a moment, put his hands behind his back, and asked, "So, in what direction is it being handled?"

"How else can it be handled?" Lao Wu shook the transcript in his hand: "The confessions are almost the same. They had a little friction with the other party in the bar, and then the San Guang Society kids suddenly opened fire and threw grenades, killing four students. I heard that they are already negotiating compensation with the families of the victims. It's basically been defined as a criminal case of fighting. Then they will issue an arrest warrant for those people from the San Guang Society and catch them as soon as possible. I guess there will be an announcement tomorrow."

Wang Daolin looked at Lao Wu, knowing that this police captain was Shang Yao's man, so he paused and asked, "Tomorrow? So soon?"

Lao Wu nodded: "Yes, Shang Shu (Police Chief) just called me and asked me to deal with it quickly and issue an announcement quickly. I took a look, and the trending search has already reached fifth place, so we have to hurry up and suppress the public opinion."

Wang Daolin frowned slightly: "Isn't it a bit hasty?"

Lao Wu spread his hands: "Then what else can we do? This matter... after all, it has something to do with the garrison. If it drags on for too long, it will cause more problems, and it will be difficult for the higher-ups to deal with."

Wang Daolin didn't say anything, feeling that Lao Shang's people were handling the case too quickly.

However, this case involved the garrison, and whoever handled it would have to consider political relations. In addition, someone from Lao Shang's side had already taken over, so he couldn't say anything more.

That's how the police station was now. Whoever had the connections was responsible for it. Wang Daolin didn't have direct contact with the garrison. He only had close ties with the people from the Hua Tong Association, so he didn't say much.

After thinking for a while, Wang Daolin said, "Okay, then you handle it. I'm going back."

"Okay, Chief Wang, take care." Lao Wu said, "I'm going to continue working."

"You go ahead." Wang Daolin waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the office, preparing to change clothes and go home.

...

The next day at eight o'clock in the morning, the Dragon City Police Department issued a police report:

On July 15, at 22:01, suspect Zheng (male, 25 years old) led suspects Liu (male, 22 years old), Zhang (male, 19 years old), and seven others (suspected members of the illegal organization San Guang Society) to the "Bullseye Bar" at 56 Zhongxing Street, Zha Nan Port, for consumption. During the consumption process, they had a dispute with suspect Wang (male, 48 years old) and more than ten others due to a verbal conflict, and shot and killed Wang and three others. Then they threw a grenade, killing four innocent college students and injuring fifteen people, and fled the scene. Their whereabouts are currently unknown.

Zheng's behavior has seriously violated the relevant laws and regulations of Dragon City and has caused significant damage to the safety of the property of the people of Dragon City. The Dragon City Police Department has launched an operation, and the case is currently under investigation.

...

As soon as the police report was issued, it caused another heated discussion. A large number of netizens began to discuss the matter and hoped that the heinous criminals of the San Guang Society would be brought to justice as soon as possible.

At the same time, Wang Daolin, who had just gotten up, was wearing pajamas and sitting at the dining table with his wife, eating breakfast. He was drinking soy milk ground by his wife while holding a tablet and saw the police report.

Wang Daolin couldn't help but joke, "They got the money, so they work fast."

Wang's wife sat next to him and also saw the police report. She couldn't help but ask, "Is this your case?"

"It was originally mine, but now Lao Shang has taken over." Wang Daolin said while flipping through the trending searches on Microblog.

"It's not yours, so why are you worrying about it?" Wang's wife chided, "Eat your breakfast."

Wang Daolin smiled, didn't say anything, and continued to scroll through Microblog with his fingers. Because of the police report, the trending search of the post from last night had been pushed to third place.

Wang Daolin shook his head slightly, put down the tablet, and stopped paying attention to the matter.

...

District One, Qing Yi Bureau.

Kang Dinghuang sat in his office, gently threw a file bag on his desk, and turned to the secretary standing next to him, saying, "The money, identity, and information are all inside. Let the people over there thoroughly understand these things."

"Okay." The secretary picked up the file bag and nodded gently.
