Chapter 41 Serial Counterattack!

Chapter 41. Serial Counterattack!

"Mr. Liu, someone is looking for you downstairs."

"who?"

"It's from the police station..."

The receptionist who knocked on the door looked terrified, as if he didn't expect that one day the police would come to the door.

Liu Shitang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Over the years, with his hard work in the public security system, he has always been the only one to go to the police station, and no police station has ever come to him.

But now...

He straightened his collar and waved his hand:

"Invite them in."

"Yes."

Five minutes later, two policemen in formal uniforms were invited into the office and met each other.

Liu Shitang glanced at Secretary Cheng, who shook his head slightly, expressing that he did not know him.

"Hi Mr. Liu, we are from the Songjiaqiao Police Station,"

After taking their seats, the two briefly introduced.

Upon hearing the word Songjiaqiao, Liu Shitang frowned slightly, and immediately thought of something.

Secretary Cheng behind him also trembled, trying to stay calm.

Just listen to the other party continue:
"To bother you today, there is a case that requires your assistance in the investigation."

"What case?"

"A false accusation of theft,"

The policeman on the left paused:

"Someone reported that five days ago, there was a theft incident in Songjiaqiao Market. It was later confirmed that it was a false accusation, and the person who instigated the false accusation was related to your company."

"Framed?"

Liu Shitang laughed, with no expression on his face:

"Who is it? How can it be related to our company?"

"This person's name is Cheng Liang. The reporter has already accused him. Although he didn't leave his name at the time, we compared the nearby surveillance cameras. He is the secretary of the general manager of your company."

The policeman on the right took out a photo from the file bag and handed it to Secretary Cheng:
"Mr. Cheng, do you know this person?"

Secretary Cheng glanced and smiled awkwardly:
"I don't know, I've never seen it before."

The police didn't take it seriously, and put away the photos:

"This person is the owner of a shop named 'Mingyouguan' in Songjiaqiao Market, and he is also the person who reported the crime."

"According to the confession, it was Mr. Cheng who found him that day and ordered him to frame the victim with a heavy sum of 10 yuan,"

"Mr. Cheng, you are familiar with the people above, right?"

As he spoke, he took another sheet out of the file bag.

This time it was not a photo, but a zoomed-in close-up of the surveillance video.

Although it was blurry, Secretary Cheng's facial features could still be clearly discerned after careful identification.

Secretary Cheng was slightly startled, but didn't make a sound.

"What does this prove? Are everyone who went to Songjiaqiao that day suspected?"

At this moment, Liu Shitang said coldly.

Just two photos and a statement from the informant can't prove anything at all.

Liu Shitang has been dealing with the public security system for many years and knows the ropes well, so he has the upper hand as soon as he speaks out.

Coupled with the aura he has cultivated on weekdays, there is a tendency to turn against customers.

Sure enough, the two policemen could only produce these evidences, asked a few more questions, and got up to leave:

"Mr. Liu, forgive me. Someone reported the case. We are just here for routine business. If there is any progress in the future, we will bother you."

"It's okay, the director of your office seems to be surnamed Zhang? Our Zhang Institute—"

It seemed that his tone just now was too much, and in a blink of an eye, Liu Shitang changed his smiling face again.

however……

"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu. Before I came here, I told Zhang that there are many things in the office. We have to go back after we're done."

The two policemen didn't answer at all.

He nodded slightly and left.

Leaving behind Liu Shitang's embarrassingly outstretched right hand, and the gradually stiff smile on his face...

"Young Master Tang, it was very dangerous just now... Thank you very much."

"Thank you, what if this kind of crime is proven?"

After the police left, Secretary-General Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Shitang, however, looked impatient, vaguely feeling that things were not that simple.

If this was the opponent's counterattack, it would be too casual.

And the attitudes of those two people just now...

Before I could figure it out, I heard another knock on the door.

The reception lady who had just sent the guests away went and came back.

"What? Didn't the person leave already?"

Liu Shitang was taken aback.

The receptionist was equally confused:

"It's gone, but...someone is looking for you again."

Liu Shitang raised his eyebrows.

This is too coincidental, it's almost like a discussion...

Soon, new guests were invited to the office.

The same uniform, but not a policeman, but a cold black formal suit.

Liu Shitang was surprised when he saw the marks on the upper arms of the two men:
"Are you... the surveillance system?"

"President Liu has good eyesight."

The middle-aged woman among the two smiled.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he took out a list full of names from his file bag and placed it gently on the table.

Liu Shitang still hasn't recovered from the shock:
Surveillance system!

All major corruption cases and illegal personnel in the supervisory system have a high position and weight!
This level of system is no longer comparable to general authorities.

It's like he has been in charge of Shanglong for many years, and his personal connections involve various fields in the government and business circles, but he never thought of infiltrating into the monitoring system.

for nothing else—

The most important weapon of the country!I don’t even dare to have such a thought!
But now...

Barely suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Liu Shitang focused his pupils and looked at the piece of paper on the table.

Seeing this, it was even more shocking.

In an instant, it seemed that even the heartbeat stopped for a second.

"This, this is..."

"Mr. Liu, let's get straight to the point,"

The smile on the middle-aged woman's face gradually disappeared, and she said seriously:

"In recent days, the city's public security system has launched a campaign to improve moral integrity and discipline,"

"It was reported that several important officials had accepted bribes from business people for a long time, colluded with power and money, and used power for personal gain. Among them, Shanglong Decoration Group was involved,"

"We are here today to ask you to cooperate and assist in the investigation."

"No...I never..."

Before the words finished, Liu Shitang quickly denied it.

For a while, the voice changed a little.

"Mr. Liu, don't worry. It's just about Shanglong Group. The current report information doesn't point to a certain person."

The middle-aged woman looked serious.

But inadvertently, there was still a little sneer.

She has been in the industry for many years, and she has seen too many scenes like this.

Sure enough, Liu Shitang knew he was losing his composure.

Quickly took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down:
"Other companies don't know about it, but Shanglong Decoration has always abided by laws and regulations,"

"Anyone who deals with the security department is also in accordance with the laws and regulations,"

"I hope you two will investigate."

"I understand Mr. Liu's meaning,"

The middle-aged woman was noncommittal, pointing to a few names on the list:
"Does Mr. Liu know these people?"

"do not know."

"How many of these?"

"I don't know each other either... I have seen some of them, but I am not familiar with them."

"and also……"

"..."

A simple inquiry did not take long.

The two went through the process according to the rules, and on the surface, they didn't have any obvious inclinations.

But Liu Shitang couldn't help being irritable and suspicious.

When the interrogation was over, he forgot even the politeness, and just sat there blankly, lost in thought.

"Thank you Mr. Liu for your cooperation. We will come again in a few days."

"Of course, maybe I'll ask you to come with us too,"

"Mr. Liu?"

The middle-aged woman stretched out her right hand and paused for a while.

"Oh, okay, I will definitely cooperate."

Liu Shitang came to his senses and forced a smile.

When the two left, there was a dead silence, and the atmosphere in the office quickly became extremely dignified.

"Young Master Tang, don't worry too much, maybe it's just a coincidence..."

Secretary Cheng felt that he had no confidence in what he said.

But he still paused and continued:

"If those people confessed to us, they would not be able to please themselves. They should not be so stupid."

Liu Shitang was silent, but there was a voice in his heart that kept reminding:
wrong!

The monitoring system will never make lies out of thin air, it must be based on facts!

Of course, those people have a very close relationship with Shanglong, and they are all damaged.

But if it really comes to a critical time, weighing the pros and cons...

hateful!

How could surveillance be involved all of a sudden!

Is it accidental or someone secretly set up a bureau?

Liu Shitang's face was cloudy and uncertain, his eyes were slightly closed, and fine beads of sweat continued to emerge from his forehead.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door for the third time.

Liu Shitang couldn't help being a little nervous when he heard it.

"Come in! Where is it again!"

He was furious.

"President Liu,"

The reception lady outside the door was like a frightened bird, her voice trembled slightly:

"It's the City Criminal Investigation Team..."

"what!"
