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

Chapter 710 Taking Control of the Entire Smuggling Chain

Li Qiang has thought it through; he has no other way out now.

The case from three years ago is now irrefutable. If Qin Chuan continues his investigation, he will be able to trace it back to Li Baotian through the hit-and-run driver. Li Baotian gave him 20 yuan to cover up his crimes, so he might as well give up his police uniform.

He knew better than anyone what would happen to Li Qiang if he couldn't wear this police uniform and returned to the Walled City. The main reason why Li Qiang was so influential in the Walled City and why everyone gave him face was that he was now the deputy director of the North New District.

The fortified city was incapable of confronting Qin Chuan.

Or rather, even if they were capable of fighting against a direct disciple, they wouldn't fight against Qin Chuan for their own sake.

They might even willingly sacrifice themselves.

The fact that he was involved in smuggling was not a secret to many people.

Of course, the reason this isn't a secret isn't because everyone has evidence of their involvement in smuggling. On the contrary, within the city walls, smuggling is handled with extreme secrecy. Only a very few people know the entire smuggling process, and Li Qiang, as the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in the North New District, is one of them.

So when Li Qiang realized that Qin Chuan wanted to take action against Chengchengli's smuggling business, he understood where his value lay.

The actual people who run the venues and businesses inside the Walled City are a minority. Others don't know why the Walled City has been so rich for so many years and why it can distribute so much dividends every year.

So all he can do now is follow Qin Chuan's instructions completely.

Only by fully cooperating with Qin Chuan can he have a tomorrow, can he continue to wear this police uniform, and can he land safely.

very good!

Qin Chuan was very satisfied with this aspect of Li Qiang's work.

In reality, the reason Li Qiang became the target of the protégé was because the matter concerning the other party was not actually that significant.

Li Qiang has never been involved in any murder cases. The biggest one he handled was the incident three years ago. Secondly, he mainly acted as a protector for those in charge.

Since Li Qiang was promoted to deputy director of the Chengbei New District Public Security Bureau, the people in charge in the city have been taking the initiative to approach him.

In reality, Li Qiang had no way to resist; he could only provide them with protection. Otherwise, Li Qiang and his family would not be able to survive while they were burdened with debt.

"Cooperating with me is your best option right now, and I can promise you that as long as this case is closed and you resign voluntarily, I will not pursue any other matters, and I will only punish the ringleaders among those who bear the debt. I will not implicate the others!"

The measures Qin Chuan took this time were different from those taken in Linzhou City.

When Qin Chuan was carrying out the special campaign against organized crime in Linzhou, he would not let anyone go, but that wouldn't be the case in Nanchuan.

Qin Chuan's actions against the village were only aimed at the smuggling case, not at eliminating the village itself. In Nanchuan, anyone who tries to destroy the village culture is courting disaster.

Qin Chuan can only target a small number of people, not the majority; he cannot become enemies with the majority.

Moreover, Qin Chuan was very clear about his role in this transfer.

He cannot stay at the Nanchuan City Public Security Bureau for long; he must achieve relatively large results in a short period of time.

Therefore, Qin Chuan also determined his three-pronged approach. The first was to take down the smuggling business in Nanchuan, which would be equivalent to changing a major link in the gray industry chain.

"That's their line of thinking..."

Li Qiang was not directly involved in any specific smuggling cases, but he received a share of the profits every year.

Li Xiang was very clear about the entire smuggling route because he needed to provide protection for the people along these routes.

Li Qiang and Chen Gang were taking notes one after another.

When Chen Gang brought Li Qiang back for questioning, he never expected that Qin Chuan, the newly appointed director who had been in office for less than a month, was targeting the smuggling business of the entire Nanchuan City.

He suddenly understood why Qin Chuan had formed this special task force.

Because Qin Chuan was doing big things, and these things required reliable people to do them, but Qin Chuan didn't have any influence in the local area, so he could only find or cultivate people who could resolutely carry out his orders through this method.
