Chapter 22 The Heavens’ Net is Vast and Wide, Yet Misses Nothing 1_1
The mayor of Suzhou, Ren Beiwu, saw Shen Wenzheng sit down, turned to him and said, "Captain Shen, the head of the special task force for the 928 major case, Director Cheng, has bravely sacrificed himself for this case, leaving us all deeply grieved. However, his work must be carried on by someone else. After the organization's research and decision, Comrade Liu Xiuqing, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, will temporarily assume the role of acting director of the Suzhou Public Security Bureau."
Liu Xiuqing sported neatly trimmed short hair and was exactly forty years old this year, with thick dark eyebrows and an exceptionally heroic face.
After listening to Ren Beiwu, she immediately stood up, saluted everyone present, her face free of pride, maintaining her usual composure and steadiness.
She said firmly to everyone, "Thank you for the organization's trust in me, I will definitely continue to work hard, stand firm at every post, and absolutely not let down the organization's trust and care. Thank you all!"
Once Liu Xiuqing sat down, Ren Beiwu spoke again to Shen Wenzheng, "Captain Shen, from now on, if there's anything on your end, report directly to Comrade Liu Xiuqing."
Shen Wenzheng abruptly stood up and replied loudly, "Yes!"
It was within Shen Wenzheng's expectations that Liu Xiuqing would take over Director Cheng's position.
Although she was a woman, her actions were in no way inferior to any man.
She was very decisive and efficient in handling cases, shrewd and capable, and moreover, she had risen through the ranks from criminal investigation, possessing rich experience in case handling. With her in command, there would be no more instances of ignorant meddling or random directives.
Ren Beiwu waved at him, signaling him to sit down, before saying with a grave face, "Captain Shen, you are now the most knowledgeable about the key figures in the 928 major case. This case is involving more and more homicides. Including Director Cheng and his daughter, and the child in her womb, the death toll has reached as many as eight lives. I have already communicated with the superiors, and Governor Li is greatly enraged. He has ordered that no matter who is involved in this case, as long as the evidence is conclusive, they will all be arrested and brought to justice. These criminals must be punished to give the public an account and also to provide closure for all the deceased, so that they may rest in peace beneath the ninth spring!"
Ren Beiwu's words stirred up a storm of emotions in Shen Wenzheng and served as a reassurance.
