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

Chapter 776 Arrest of Tang Haorui, the Second Young Master of the 4 Seas Group

Would someone really pay 20 yuan to have someone kill a pregnant woman to cover it up?

Furthermore, what is the relationship between Li Haichuan and Tang Haorui?

Why would Tang Haorui trust Li Haichuan? Given Tang Haorui's wealth and background, couldn't he have simply hired a professional hitman?

Or, if all else fails, just cause an accident, like a car crash that kills Zhao Lingyu, and that would be the end of it, wouldn't it?

The situation has now escalated to the point where a family of four was murdered, drawing the attention of the police. Is Tang Haorui afraid that the police won't be able to catch him?

One thing that can now be largely ruled out as a suspect is Li Guofeng, with whom Zhao Lingyu had a previous cohabitation relationship. After investigation, the possibility of him being a suspect has been essentially eliminated.

First, Li Guofeng and Li Haichuan did not know each other. A review of their call records revealed no connection whatsoever. Second, Li Guofeng was not in Nanchuan City before or after the incident, and there was no financial interaction between him and Li Haichuan.

Furthermore, according to Li Haichuan, the killing of Zhao Lingyu's family was actually ordered by Tang Haorui, the second young master of the Sihai Group, who gave him 20 yuan. The police have now found this 20 yuan in Li Haichuan's home.

In this way, the chain of evidence that Li Haichuan mentioned is now complete, and the entire process of the case, the motive for the murder, and so on, are all closed at this moment.

But Qin Chuan still felt something was wrong after listening to it. Unless Tang Haorui was an idiot, why would he do such a thing?

"Since Sihai Group is one of the top private enterprises in Nanchang, are there any issues or clues regarding its involvement in organized crime?"

Qin Chuan suddenly asked.

Qin Chuan originally intended to leave the crackdown on organized crime for last, so he hadn't gathered any relevant information. In the early stages, all of Qin Chuan's energy was focused on investigating smuggling cases and combating drug trafficking.

Qin Chuan was originally planning to conduct another analysis of the local forces in Nanchuan City in order to carry out a crackdown on organized crime, but then this family annihilation tragedy occurred.

Therefore, Qin Chuan still doesn't know much about the local forces in Nanchang.

Chen Kai paused, glanced at Qin Chuan, and then said:

"There should be a little bit."

"A little bit? What do you mean by a little bit?"

Qin Chuan pressed for an answer.

Chen Kai glanced at Qin Chuan, knowing that if he didn't give a clear explanation, Qin Chuan wouldn't let it go. Anyway, he was the head of the criminal investigation team; there was nothing wrong with him telling his superiors such things.

"I don't know much about the Sihai Group. As the head of the Criminal Investigation Division, I'm mainly involved in handling criminal cases. Although I've handled some cases involving the Sihai Group over the years, there haven't been many. I've only had two related cases, both of which resulted in deaths during demolition projects."

During the investigation of this case, someone contacted us, and the former bureau chief even personally inquired about it. Sihai Group has been rooted in Nanchuan City for many years and has many friends in both political and business circles.

To be honest, Sihai Group doesn't have a very good reputation in Nanchuan City, but it has good relationships with various sectors, which is the fundamental reason why Sihai Group is often able to acquire the best plots of land when it comes to real estate business.

Furthermore, the CEO of Sihai Group started his business 20 years ago as a safety officer in a coal mine. I personally find it hard to believe he's completely untainted by any shady dealings, but further investigation is needed to determine the specifics.

Qin Chuan glanced at Chen Kai, clearly not having explained some things clearly enough. For example, what were the final outcomes of the two cases he handled back then? And who in the Sihai Group was involved?

But it doesn't matter.

Chen Kai is a reliable person. Although he has some minor flaws and some private dealings with others, he is relatively competent as the head of the criminal investigation team. Otherwise, Qin Chuan would not have let him continue in this position.

In Qin Chuan's eyes, the entire Nanchuan City Public Security Bureau, while not perfect, is still a capable force. After the last crackdown on the smuggling ring, some corrupt elements within the Nanchuan City Public Security Bureau have been purged. While the remaining personnel aren't entirely without problems, they are relatively trouble-free and are all courageous and willing to fight.

For example, in the investigation of this family annihilation case, it wasn't just the Criminal Investigation Division that put in a lot of effort; other relevant branches and even local police stations also provided crucial cooperation. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to solve the case so quickly.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the direct perpetrators in this case have been arrested and brought to justice. Whether or not someone was actually instigating them, Li Haichuan and Li Hailong are the direct perpetrators, and this fact of their crime cannot be denied. Therefore, the provincial department is paying close attention to this case. From this perspective, Qin Chuan and his team can actually report back.

However, this case cannot be considered closed. We can report back, but we cannot simply abandon the investigation. Since the mastermind behind this, as Li Haichuan mentioned, is Tang Haorui of the Sihai Group, then we should arrest him and investigate whether he has any problems.

Whether there's a real problem or a fake one, and whether Li Haichuan framed him, it doesn't matter to Qin Chuan. He only needs to glance at Tang Haorui to know whether Tang Haorui is related to this case or not.

"In that case, we'll proceed according to the established procedures. Since the direct perpetrator, Li Haichuan, only knows Tang Haorui as someone who instructed him to commit the murder, we'll arrest Tang Haorui and interrogate him first."

"Yes! I'll do it right away!"

Chen Kai stood up, stood at attention, and saluted.

For Chen Kai, the head of the criminal investigation team, having a bureau chief like Qin Chuan was incredibly lucky. The fact that he dared to arrest someone involved in the Sihai Group's succession was something that previous bureau chiefs would likely have never done.

Chen Kai had handled cases involving the Sihai Group before, and they couldn't even handle some distant relatives, let alone the second son of the Sihai Group's CEO. However, the fact that Chen Kai couldn't handle cases before didn't mean that he was afraid to handle them or lacked the ability to do so, because the pressure he faced back then didn't come from the Sihai Group.

So what if you have a Sihai Group and you're rich? Can you go against the police?
