Three days later.

Su Ping'er sent over some news.

The chaos that had been deliberately created indeed had its effect.

Sun Yangqian met with her last night and asked her to take over the business that Liu Qing was previously responsible for.

Of course.

Liu Qing's commissions were also transferred under Su Ping'er's name.

At this point.

The first step of Chen Fang's plan was more than halfway complete.

That afternoon.

Yu Zhengchuan ran breathlessly into the office.

He threw a folder in front of Chen Fang, gulped down a big bottle of water, and said, "I've completed the task you gave me. Inside here are the details on Li Yonggang."

On the night three days ago when he parted ways with Su Ping'er,

Chen Fang had asked Yu Zhengchuan to investigate Li Yonggang.

Su Ping'er had mentioned.

Li Yonggang had been promoted step by step by Sun Yangqian from a lowly officer to the Director of the Public Security Bureau.

A person like this must have some "exceptional" qualities.

Li Yonggang is 47 years old this year.

Originally from Chenxi Town in Guanghe County.

He began working at the Chenxi Town Police Station at the age of 23, starting as a small officer.

Public records show that he had no significant background.

His father was a barefoot doctor in Chenxi Town.

His mother was just an ordinary farmer.

This record also includes information about his close relatives.

From the current investigation, it appears he didn't have any significant advantages from powerful connections.

At the age of 25, Li Yonggang experienced a turning point in his career.

After just two years on the job, he became the deputy director of the Chenxi Town Police Station, making him the youngest deputy director in Guanghe County at the time.

At 29, he was transferred to the Criminal Investigation Team at the county's Public Security Bureau, serving as deputy captain.

Over the next ten years, he worked in the Criminal Investigation Team, advancing from deputy captain to instructor and then to captain, earning several second-class and third-class honors during this period.

At 32.

He began serving as the deputy director of the Guanghe County Public Security Bureau and head of the Public Security Squad.

Afterwards, he briefly held positions as director of the Political Office and commissar, until at 42, he was directly promoted to the deputy county magistrate and Director of the Public Security Bureau of Guanghe County.

From his resume, there indeed seems to be nothing special.

It's the life of an outstanding police officer.

Chen Fang looked up and down at this record but couldn't find anything fishy.

He asked, "Just this file, and it took you three days?"

Yu Zhengchuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "No way, you really underestimate me. This file is public record; you can find it online. I spent these three days looking into the cases he's handled..."

Yu Zhengchuan had meticulously studied this resume.

Like Chen Fang, he didn't find anything unusual.

So, he shifted his focus to investigating the relationship between Li Yonggang and Sun Yangqian.

In this area, he also found no clues.

He then shifted direction again and started examining every case Li Yonggang himself had handled.

It was here that he found a problem.

"Li Yonggang started working as an officer at the Chenxi Town Police Station at the age of 23. I originally planned to investigate from the very beginning. Unexpectedly, I discovered that the police station had suffered a fire that destroyed all the case files stored in the archives. In other words, all the cases handled by Li Yonggang before he was transferred to the county's Criminal Investigation Team had no remaining records."

Upon hearing this.

Chen Fang frowned.

He asked, "What's so strange about a fire?"

Yu Zhengchuan chuckled.

He said, "I didn't care much at first either. But after not finding any issues, I decided to get to the bottom of this fire. I found a retired officer who worked at the station back then..."

This officer's name was Tang Yewang.

He had been transferred to the Chenxi Town Police Station from the detention center.

He was already in his fifties at the time.

He had been there a year earlier than Li Yonggang.

The fire happened on the night he was on duty.

He told Yu Zhengchuan that the archives were strictly prohibited from any fire sources and that the archives had special locks. Only station officers had access to the keys.

That night, the fire broke out suddenly.

They never determined the cause of the fire.

Because of this fire.

Tang Yewang was forced into early retirement and was still resentful about it.

"Could it be that the archives housed some special cases?"

Chen Fang asked instinctively.

Yu Zhengchuan snapped his fingers and said, "Smart, you're catching up to me. There was indeed a case, which involved someone you know?"

"Someone I know? Who?"

"Su Fuping, also known as Big Eye!" Yu Zhengchuan said.

Chen Fang shuddered.

He was instantly enlightened.

He said, "Right, I remember now. Big Eye is from Nanbi Village, which falls under the jurisdiction of Chenxi Town. At that time, Big Eye was 16, and that's when Li Yonggang was 24."

"That's right."

Yu Zhengchuan said.

Chenxi Town was just an ordinary township.

Criminal cases were not frequent.

If there was anything special, it would be the case involving Big Eye back then.

Now, the original files on Big Eye's case can no longer be found. Without electronic records at that time, the burned documents mean the case has effectively been erased.

Connecting this to what Su Ping'er said about the relationship between Li Yonggang's career path and Sun Yangqian.

Chen Fang had a sudden realization.

He asked, "Are you saying that the fire back then might have been set by Li Yonggang?"

Yu Zhengchuan nodded.

He said, "I think so too."

"But why would he set that fire? How is it connected to Sun Yangqian?"

Chen Fang asked, frowning.

Yu Zhengchuan burst out laughing.

He said, "I love seeing you completely stumped. Now it's my turn to gloat a bit."

"You know the reason? Hurry up and tell me!"

Chen Fang urged, punching him on the shoulder.

Yu Zhengchuan grinned with a mischievous smile and said, "Hey, you usually love to keep secrets, so I thought I'd let you have a taste of that."

"Fine, big brother, I was wrong. Hurry and tell me what's going on."

Chen Fang asked impatiently.

Yu Zhengchuan's face turned serious.

He stopped joking.

He said, "Although all the records were burned, Tang Yewang could still remember the names of the people involved back then. Wasn't there a middle-aged man Big Eye attacked? His name was Sun Zhaolun. This name should be familiar to you, right?"

Hearing this name.

Chen Fang gasped.

He asked, "Is it Sun Zhaolun, the Deputy Secretary of the Xiaxiang City Committee?"

Yu Zhengchuan nodded.

He said, "That's him. And he has another identity—he's Sun Yangqian's cousin."
