Chapter 240 The Shocking Secret in the Pigeon Cage: Zhou Guichun's Utter Downfall

Command Center of Handong Provincial Military Region.

On the electronic screen, several red dots representing the direction of Lincheng are moving rapidly along the ring expressway.

Shen Zhong sat in the command position, holding a cup of espresso in his hand.

The technically processed monitoring audio is playing clearly through the headphones.

"Comrade Guichun, the winds in Lincheng aren't blowing right. It's best to clean up those useless messes as soon as possible. Especially that Yunxiao Pavilion, don't let it become a stumbling block."

He put down his coffee cup heavily, his fingers tapping lightly on the cold metal armrest.

"In Wei State, someone is getting restless."

"He wants Zhou Guichun to cut his losses and save himself, sealing off all the dirty water in Yunxiao Pavilion."

Zhou Weiguo stood to the side, pointing to the live monitoring screen.

"Sir, the other side acted very quickly. Three minutes ago, a small fire broke out inside Yunxiao Pavilion, presumably while they were destroying paper accounts."

"Master Jin is leading three modified off-road vehicles and is breaking through towards the provincial border."

"According to infrared scanning, the chassis of the middle vehicle is abnormally loaded, indicating that it is carrying a large number of electronic storage devices."

Shen Zhong stood up and straightened his crisp, pine-green military uniform.

Tell Qi Tongwei that the big fish is about to be caught in the net.

"If the other party refuses to cooperate, we will directly use asymmetric suppression tactics."

"It's time for things to change in Handong."

The outer ring expressway of Lincheng was shrouded in darkness.

Jin was sitting in the middle black Land Rover, clutching a specially made metal pigeon cage tightly in his arms.

Hidden in the hidden compartment at the bottom of the cage are all of Zhou Guichun's secrets over the years.

"Faster! Faster!"

Jin urged the driver on, constantly checking the rearview mirror.

Behind them, several black sedans with local license plates were relentlessly pursuing them.

That was the arrest team led by Qi Tongwei.

"Director Qi, the other vehicle is traveling at over 170 km/h, and there's a provincial border toll station ahead. They're trying to force their way through!"

An anxious report came through the headset.

Qi Tongwei sat in the lead car, his facial features appearing extremely rugged under the cold light of the dashboard.

He directly pressed the secure call button connecting to the military region.

"Sir, the target is refusing to cooperate. Requesting special privileges to intercept them."

A deep, resonant voice rang out in the channel, low and powerful.

"Approved. Two armed helicopters have taken off from the nearby base and will arrive over your unit in three minutes."

On the highway, the roar of the engine was drowned out by an even louder churning sound from the propeller.

A dull tremor pressed down from above, and the windshield of the Land Rover began to shake violently.

Two powerful searchlights shone vertically down from the sky, illuminating the entire highway as bright as day.

Jin Ye was so blinded by the light that he instinctively reached out to shield his vision.

"What's going on? Where did this plane come from?!"

The heavy machine gun on the side door of the helicopter was pointing diagonally at the ground.

"Bang bang bang!"

A string of special armor-piercing rounds struck the road surface ten meters in front of the Land Rover.

The hard asphalt road surface was riddled with a row of fist-sized craters, with gravel flying everywhere and sparks particularly glaring in the darkness.

This unreserved display of force terrified Jin Ye's driver, who instinctively slammed on the brakes.

Three SUVs screeched as they screeched to a halt in the middle of the road.

Qi Tongwei led his men to quickly surround and encircle the enemy.

He kicked open the door of the Land Rover and dragged the limp Jin Ye out of the back seat.

"Brother Jin, where are you planning to take these 'treasures' to make a fortune in the middle of the night?"

Qi Tongwei snatched the heavy pigeon cage from the other person's arms and ran his fingertips along the edge of the base.

"Click".

The base pops open, revealing an explosion-proof safe.

At the same time, in a high-end apartment in the center of Lin City.

Lu Yike led the anti-corruption bureau personnel into the top floor of the "male model agency".

She slammed a finance manager, who was about to burn the contract, onto the table.

"Director Lu, the hard drive has been recovered, and the data is intact!"

Lu Yike let go of her hand and looked at the intimate photos of Zhou Guichun with several men that popped up on the computer screen, as well as the transaction records of the two hundred million yuan in black money.

She picked up the phone and dialed Qi Tongwei directly.

"Director Qi, I have completed the evidence loop."

"Zhou Guichun's true colors have been completely stripped away."

early morning.

Inside the task force's office, the incandescent lights remained on all night.

Shen Zhong pushed open the door and entered, looking at the evidence neatly arranged on the table.

Besides the money laundering contract worth 200 million, the most conspicuous items were several high-definition USB drives.

Qi Tongwei operated the computer, and the video of Zhou Guichun in the secret room of Yunxiao Pavilion began to play on the screen.

The disgusting images made Lu Yike instinctively turn her head away.

"Ninety-five top-class racing pigeons, equivalent to 1.32 million yuan in embezzled funds."

"Two hundred million yuan was laundered through male model studios."

"And these are the videos that could ruin his reputation."

Qi Tongwei looked at Shen Zhong.

"Sir, once these things are released, Sha Ruijin won't be able to protect him."

Shen Zhong picked up one of the documents, which was a land transfer agreement personally signed by Zhou Guichun.

"These things are not for catching Zhou Guichun."

"It was used to send Sha Ruijin off on his final journey at the Standing Committee meeting."

Lu Yike stood aside, watching Qi Tongwei who was busy, and the disdain in her eyes had disappeared.

She had to admit that traditional case-handling logic was indeed too slow in the face of Shen Zhong's shrewd and devastating methods.

"Director Qi, I misjudged you before."

Lu Yike handed over a can of coffee.

Qi Tongwei took the coffee and tugged at the slightly wrinkled collar of his shirt.

"Prosecutor Lu, if you want to survive in this game in Handong, a sense of justice alone is not enough."

"You need to have the power to flip the table."

It's exactly eight o'clock.

The First Conference Room of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong.

The air was filled with a rich aroma of coffee and tea.

Sha Ruijin sat in the main seat, flipping through an official document concerning budget cuts for the Luzhou New Energy Project.

He looked up and glanced at Gao Yuliang, who was sitting on his left.

Gao Yuliang was dressed very formally today, and even wore a party badge that he rarely wears.

Sha Ruijin picked up his teacup and gently blew away the foam.

"Comrade Yuliang, let's have a heads-up before the meeting today."

"The project that Comrade He Xia is working on in Luzhou is quite a big deal, and it's putting a lot of pressure on the finances."

"I think it's necessary to reassess her work abilities and the necessity of this project."
