Official Career Storm

Chapter 1492 1492:

Song Guanchao drove the car into the police station.

However, when he walked into the police station, he saw Wang Rui.

He was a bit surprised.

He had called Director Yan from the substation and asked him to investigate Wang Rui thoroughly.

Logically, Wang Rui should be suspended pending investigation.

Why is he still here?

Wang Rui also saw him, his face suddenly sank, and he said cynically, "Director Song, what's the matter?"

Song Guanchao said, "I'm looking for a few people."

Although Wang Rui was unhappy, considering Song Guanchao's status, he didn't dare to speak too harshly.

"Xiao Zhang, you go attend to Director Song."

Wang Rui casually shouted to a policeman and then turned to walk inside.

Officer Zhang said, "Director Song, who are you looking for?"

Song Guanchao said, "Teacher Xue from No. 1 High School, and the parents of those students who suffered from food poisoning. Where are they?"

Officer Zhang was stunned, subconsciously turning back to look at Wang Rui's figure.

Wang Rui hadn't gone far, upon hearing this, he paused and turned to say, "They're not at the police station."

Song Guanchao said, "I heard they had been brought back by you guys."

Wang Rui replied impatiently, "They left long ago."

He was no fool. Upon learning that Song Guanchao wanted Director Yan to investigate him, he immediately came back and released the people.

Such a violation usually went unnoticed.

But at a critical moment, it might become the last straw to break the camel's back.

"When did they leave?"

"Half an hour ago."

"Why did the police arrest people?"

"Director Song, this is not something you should be concerned with."

Song Guanchao raised his eyebrows: "What does Director Wang say?"

Wang Rui realized he had misspoken, but he didn't want to lose face in front of his subordinates, so he said, "Director Song, we cooperate with your work, and we hope you also respect ours."

Song Guanchao chuckled, took out his phone, and called Wu Qiangwei.

"Mayor, there are a large number of students with food poisoning at No. 1 High School."

"I'm currently investigating this matter, but have encountered some obstacles during the investigation. I suggest the mayor immediately establish a task force, with me as the leader."

Listening to this, Wang Rui's mouth twitched wildly.

He was extremely annoyed inside.

He had never seen someone so serious, so determined to delve into something like this!

It's just a case of food poisoning, such a trivial matter, does it really need to be blown up like this!

Is it necessary?

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Song Guanchao said, "The city government has established a task force for the No. 1 High School food poisoning case. I am the leader."

"Director Wang, from now on, you're relieved of your duties."

"..." Wang Rui's face twisted, looking like he was about to explode at any moment.

Song Guanchao looked at him calmly, without a hint of fear.

Officer Zhang on the side secretly swallowed his saliva, feeling that Director Wang was about to go berserk.

"Fine, I'll cooperate with Director Song's work!" Wang Rui finally suppressed his anger and walked towards the door.

After he left, Song Guanchao said, "Officer Zhang, come over, I have something to ask you."

"Ah, okay." Officer Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and followed him into the office hall.

The policemen in the hall had already heard the commotion outside, and at this moment, they all looked over.

Song Guanchao pushed open a small meeting room, pulled out a chair, and sat down: "Officer Zhang, sit."

"Yes." Officer Zhang was very nervous.

Song Guanchao said, "Tell me what happened last night."

"Last night..." Officer Zhang was hesitant, unsure if he should speak.

Song Guanchao didn't rush him, if he wanted to delay, then let him delay.

Anyway, over at the school, there are Zhou Xingjian and Han Lan, along with Liang Jiajia and the people from the food and drug administration.

The whole situation was already under control in broad terms.

What he needed to do now was assign responsibility and dig deeper into the chain of interests within.

"Last night, we received a call from No. 1 High School reporting..."

"Who received it?" Song Guanchao asked, "Was it transferred to your station from the dispatch center, or did Director Wang receive it?"

"It was, it was Director Wang. He got a call from Principal Xu, and he took us to maintain order."

"Arrested people?"

"Yes."

"How many were arrested?"

"Eleven parents, and a teacher... oh no, this morning, another one was arrested."

"Hm?" Song Guanchao asked, "Arrested another parent?"

"Yes."

"Why arrest them?"

"Because... that parent reported to the city government."

"All released?"

"Yes."

"Just released?"

"Yes."

Officer Zhang was under immense pressure.

Song Guanchao said, "Write down the names of the officers involved."

Officer Zhang said with a bitter face, "All were involved."

There were only about seven or eight officers at the station in total, sometimes even insufficient in number.

For an incident of this scale, surely all officers had to be dispatched.

"Director Song, there's something, I don't know if I should say it?"

"Go ahead."

"Actually, regarding the dispatch, Director Wang didn't do anything wrong."

After saying that, Officer Zhang carefully watched his expression, only continuing when he saw no reaction, "Last night, hundreds of parents gathered outside the school. If not maintaining order and dispersing the crowd, a bigger conflict would have definitely erupted."

Song Guanchao nodded, "I understand the need to maintain order and disperse the crowd. I also acknowledge Director Wang's dispatch. But wasn't your way of resolving it too rough?"

"I watched last night's surveillance, and although the parents were emotional, they didn't engage in any extreme behavior beyond words. No doors were smashed, no one was hit."

"Their own kids were poisoned, and the school blocked the entrance, not informing them of the children's exact situation, nor allowing parents to see them. Afterward, even at the hospital, they had people watching, not allowing parents to get close."

"Officer Zhang, do you think this handling is appropriate?"

Officer Zhang was speechless.

Song Guanchao said, "When problems arise, just solve them. There isn't a problem that can't be solved, but you guys weren't aiming to solve the problem from the start, instead you wanted to solve these parents."

"What, are the parents easy to bully?"

"Parents report the issue, and you detain the parents back?"

"Tell me, Officer Zhang, what law did the reporting parents violate? What law did the parents arrested last night violate?"

"What did Teacher Xue do wrong?"

Facing Song Guanchao's aggressive questioning, Officer Zhang's face flushed with embarrassment, unable to utter a single word.

Song Guanchao stood up and left, pushing the door open.

He didn't intend to make it difficult for the junior officers; they were merely following Director Wang's orders.

Frankly, they didn't have the right to make decisions independently; they did as they were told by the higher-ups.

After leaving the police station, Song Guanchao got into his car, found Zhou Qian's number, and called.

"Qianqian, busy?"

"Not busy, what's up?" Zhou Qian asked, "Is there another interview task?"

"You're really smart."

"Hmph, I knew it." Zhou Qian pouted, she knew that without something going on, Song Guanchao wouldn't call her.

"I'll finish up what I'm doing and head to the provincial city."

"Okay, call me when you arrive."

After ending the call, Song Guanchao started the vehicle and headed towards No. 1 High School.

At the same time.

Xu Chengcheng drove to the high-speed rail station.

After waiting for about ten minutes, three lightly dressed men walked into the parking lot, looking around.

Xu Chengcheng immediately got out of the car and shouted, "Over here!"
