At eleven o'clock in the morning, all internal surveillance of the police station had been checked.

The surveillance of the restaurant and pharmacy the two had visited was also checked, and shop owners were questioned, but nothing was found.

When the police finished reporting, Xiang Dong felt his head was about to explode.

The police station's surveillance didn't capture the moment when they lost their gun, and there was no record outside either.

Could the gun have disappeared into thin air?

In the interrogation room, the police questioned them over and over, until their lips were almost blistered.

They recalled all the details they could think of.

But they couldn't think of anything they hadn't thought of before.

After lunch, Director Qin called. Upon learning there was no progress, he didn't scold this time, nor did he speak, and he hung up directly.

At half-past one in the afternoon.

Liang Jianfeng was listening to reports.

"This morning, we contacted 11 companies, and none of the chairmen are in Lingjiang."

"Keep contacting them."

The chairman is the soul of a company, often traveling to negotiate business, handle relationships, or go on inspections out of town.

This is quite normal.

You can't expect a big boss worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions to be staying in one place all the time during a rising career phase.

It's unrealistic.

So it's not unusual that the chairmen of 11 companies are absent, and it doesn't represent anything.

If over a hundred chairmen are absent, then we can confirm there's a problem.

For now, we can only keep contacting, and when enough data is collected, we'll know the answer.

"Mr. Liang."

Director Zhao suddenly walked over and said, "Mr. Liang, I have something to report to you."

"Speak."

"Two police officers from the second criminal investigation team lost their issued guns."

As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Shi and a few others looked over.

Captain Shi asked, "The second team? The one led by Xiang Dong?"

"Yes."

Captain Shi suddenly laughed.

He was the head of the criminal investigation team, and Xiang Dong, backed by Director Qin, had never respected him.

Unexpectedly, this guy had a mishap this time.

And at such a perfect time.

Director Liang said, "Explain in detail."

Director Zhao explained the situation in detail.

After listening, Director Zhao felt a slight unease.

Captain Shi also pondered, seemingly having realized something.

"Alright, I understand, you can go now."

After Director Zhao left, Director Liang said, "Have you figured it out?"

Captain Shi nodded and chuckled, "Secretary Song is pretty impressive."

Then he said, "But I don't get it, how did he manage to take the gun?"

Both were veteran detectives, and they had witnessed yesterday's event.

Especially when Song Guanchao said "you'll suffer in jail" to Xiang Dong before leaving, it was clearly referring to this incident.

But Captain Shi couldn't figure out how he got the gun out of the city bureau?

There were so many people watching at the time.

Director Liang said, "At the time, I covered his hand with my coat."

Captain Shi suddenly understood and then asked, "How should we handle this?"

"I'll go find out where the gun is."

Director Liang went to the interrogation room and sat down, "Another incident occurred."

"What incident?"

"The two detectives who interrogated you yesterday lost their guns."

"What?" Song Guanchao looked shocked.

Liang Jianfeng couldn't help but twitch his mouth; the kid was quite adept at acting.

"Your way of solving cases is quite novel, give me some advice."

"Me?"

Song Guanchao humbly thought for a few seconds and then said, "I actually have a suggestion."

"Go ahead."

"Not now."

Song Guanchao shook his head, "Unless Xiang Dong and Director Qin come here, I won't say anything."

Liang Jianfeng held back for a while, and then quietly said, "Are you sure you want to take it this far?"

Song Guanchao also whispered, "If no one offends me, I won't offend them."

"Alright, you'll wait."

Liang Jianfeng got up and left.

...

Xiang Dong received a call from Director Qin.

"Come to the Fengjiang Branch immediately."

"Okay."

He didn't even ask what it was about.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the branch, and Director Qin was already there.

"Director Qin, why are we here?"

"Director Liang wants to see us."

They entered the branch and greeted Liang Jianfeng politely.

Liang Jianfeng said, "Secretary Song says he can provide some suggestions regarding the lost guns."

They looked puzzled, "Song Guanchao?"

Director Qin was the first to react, "Director Liang, Song Guanchao is a criminal suspect, how could he know about this matter?"

Liang Jianfeng said nonchalantly, "When you were reporting to me, I was outside the interrogation room, and Song Guanchao heard our conversation."

"..." Director Qin's mouth twitched; could this excuse be any faker?

Hearing a conversation through an iron door?

Is Song Guanchao supposed to have supernatural hearing?

But then his heart suddenly shook.

Song Guanchao providing suggestions on the lost guns...

Damn, could it be he stole the guns?

The thought crossed his mind but he quickly dismissed it.

No way!

When the guns were lost, he was in the interrogation room.

So what suggestions could he possibly have?

They were intensely curious.

When they arrived at the interrogation room, Liang Jianfeng said, "Secretary Song, tell us your suggestions."

Song Guanchao wasn't in a rush, first greeting them before saying, "Before I provide any suggestions, I need to understand some basic information first."

Xiang Dong said coldly, "If you don't know the situation, what suggestions can you provide?"

Song Guanchao said, "If Captain Xiang has this attitude, then please leave."

Director Qin said, "Explain the situation."

Xiang Dong snorted, reluctantly explaining the sequence of events.

Song Guanchao had already heard from Liang Jianfeng, and this was mainly to make them understand that he hadn't received any information from Liang Jianfeng.

After they finished speaking, Song Guanchao pondered for a few seconds and said, "Since the surveillance found nothing, and nothing was found at the restaurant or pharmacy outside, and since they spent most of their time in the station, I boldly speculate that the theft was likely done by an insider."

"But why would an insider steal it?" Song Guanchao asked and answered himself, "It's nothing but conflicts and grudges."

Xiang Dong snorted, "I already asked, Ma Xiang and Chen Lin have good relations with their colleagues, no conflicts whatsoever."

"None?"

Song Guanchao shook his head, "Captain Xiang seems too confident."

"If it were someone else, they might really not know what conflicts they have internally."

"But it's quite a coincidence that I happen to know."

"You know?"

Xiang Dong didn't believe it at all.

A person who hasn't interacted with them could know about the interpersonal relations of two detectives?

An absolute lie.

Song Guanchao nodded seriously, "I know, and I know a lot."

"For example, that police detective named Ma Xiang, he's having an affair with your wife, Captain Xiang..."

"Bang!"

"Song Guanchao!"

Xiang Dong slammed the table and stood up.

This bastard, once was enough to mess with him, but now he just won't stop!

And now that we're discussing serious matters, he suddenly brings this up.

He's figured it out, this bastard has no intentions of suggesting anything, he just wanted to shame him upon learning his subordinates lost their gun.

Director Qin also turned dark, and said, "Director Liang, my time is precious, no time to monkey around with you!"

Song Guanchao smiled, "Director Qin, don't rush, and Captain Xiang, don't rush, hear me out."

"Ma Xiang and Chen Lin, with the wives of Captain Xiang and Director Qin, indeed had affairs as I mentioned yesterday."

"And they even fought over whose wife was better in bed."

"Everyone saw it yesterday."

"Therefore, I have sufficient reason to suspect that the guns weren't carelessly lost, but stolen by either Director Qin or Captain Xiang!"

Upon hearing this, Director Qin became furious, unable to hold back.

But as he was about to stand up and curse, Song Guanchao's next words made all his anger vanish instantly.

"Based on my study of facial features, I believe the person who stole the guns is not Director Qin, but Captain Xiang!"

"Captain Xiang, do you remember what I said yesterday?"

"I see misfortune in your face."

Seeing Song Guanchao's mocking gaze, Xiang Dong felt a chill, suddenly understanding everything.

It was Song Guanchao who stole the gun!

He's framing me!

He wants me to go to jail!
