Chapter 380 If I let you off the hook, can the dead rest in peace?
This is not simply a matter of three people not facing legal punishment; the consequence and impact is that no one dares to arrest the core members of Song Changfeng's criminal gang anymore.
Those below all knew that arresting them was pointless; they would be released anyway, so why would anyone bother?
Offending them means offending your superiors and losing any chance of promotion. Who would do that?
Furthermore, Song Changfeng's criminal gang became even more arrogant in society. They knew that since their associates had broken the law, Song Changfeng had ways to get them out, so they became even more unscrupulous.
In all the business areas that Fengfan Group is involved in, they engage in illegal business practices such as forced buying and selling to reap huge profits.
The business environment of the entire Xing'an City has been completely disrupted by Fengfan Group, and not just disrupted, but completely destroyed.
Based on the few words Song Changfeng gave last night, Qin Chuan learned a lot of inside information.
On the surface, Fengfan Group is a law-abiding company, but in reality, it has been secretly engaging in illegal activities.
It can be said that in any field, Fengfan Group does not have a monopoly on the industry, or any technology or management methods that can counterbalance its competitors.
However, any company that wants to develop in Xing'an City cannot bypass the Fengfan Group.
In all kinds of municipal projects, from large-scale demolition, building construction and bridge building to small-scale street light painting, the companies under the Fengfan Group have basically monopolized the market.
Even if there are other relationships that could create some competition with the Fengfan Group, it would be a matter of each taking a share and everyone living in peace.
Outside companies are basically unable to get a piece of the pie in Xing'an City's municipal engineering projects.
In terms of operating private enterprises, Fengfan Group appears even more unscrupulous.
Participating in municipal engineering projects requires bidding, and at the very least, he needs to involve some companies that engage in bid-rigging to distribute profits.
After all, the Fanfengfan Group can't always let one company accompany them in bid-rigging; they have to give them some future prospects.
However, when it comes to projects or business involving private enterprises, Fengfan Group often resorts to underhanded methods.
His service wasn't as good as others, his product quality wasn't as high, and his management was lagging behind, but the Fengfan Group still managed to make money because anyone who dared to compete with the Fengfan Group never fared well.
Of course, Song Changfeng also knew what it meant to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
In areas where investment is large but output is small, and profits can only be seen in the long term, Song Changfeng's group basically avoids such ventures.
The reason for all this is simply that protectors like Jiang Zhengyi have been supporting him.
For their own small personal gain, for hundreds of thousands or millions, they are willing to betray the interests of the entire region, destroy the local ecological environment, the local business environment, and even the political environment.
Of course, Qin Chuan's thinking wasn't that high, and he didn't have the authority to deal with these matters. As the head of the High-tech Zone Branch, the main reason he arrested Jiang Zhengyi was because Jiang had killed someone.
"thirty million!"
There are quite a lot.
Qin Chuan looked at the other person: "But, Political Commissar Jiang, when you killed someone, did you think that 3,000 million could buy back the life of that person's family? When Song Yaoyao was struggling to her death, did you even glance at her with pity?"
"If I let you off the hook today, the people of Xing'an City will not let me off the hook tomorrow."
Qin Chuan stood up, while Jiang Zhengyi had already slumped onto the sofa.
Jiang Zhengyi, who was just talking eloquently, now looked as if he had aged more than twenty years.
The once spirited and commanding Political Commissar Jiang seemed to have vanished in an instant, replaced by nothing more than a pitiful old man.
"Jiang Zhengyi, you only have yourself to blame."
After leaving, Qin Chuan went to Zhao Donglai's office.
He still needed to report to Zhaotong on the progress of the case. As for the two deputy directors, they were not arrested by Qin Chuan's men.
As Qin Chuan said, he only targets criminal cases; other cases are naturally handled by the relevant people.
The matter with the Municipal Public Security Bureau has temporarily come to a close, but the shock Qin Chuan's actions brought to everyone was not simply about arresting two people.
The news that Jiang Zhengyi, the political commissar of the municipal bureau, had been arrested by Qin Chuan on charges of intentional homicide quickly spread throughout the Xing'an Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Most people's first reaction was disbelief.
If Jiang Zhengyi were to embezzle some money or accept some bribes, people wouldn't think much of it. After all, it's normal for someone in his position to encounter some substandard goods and not be able to hold on.
But the fact that the other party was involved in murder made everyone feel very unbelievable.
"Master, Political Commissar Jiang... would he really kill someone?"
Inside the police station, a young man was chatting with his mentor, who had just been promoted to a full-fledged position this year. He found the whole thing unbelievable; how could the political commissar and second-in-command of the municipal public security bureau possibly commit murder?
The veteran police officer snorted coldly.
Can't leaders kill people?
Leaders are human too!
The veteran policeman took out a cigarette, lit it silently, and his thoughts drifted back to three years ago.
