Chapter 437

With Chen Ke descending the stairs, the case was finally settled. Commissioner Lin and Chief Inspector Gu emerged from the conference room at last, stepping into a small reception hall amidst a barrage of camera flashes. The reporters present immediately raised their microphones, preparing to broadcast the latest developments to their audiences. Nie Zhao and his wife were, as always, impeccably polite. Their nephew, Nie Jiajun—the young master who had been kidnapped—was far less accommodating. He sat with his legs crossed, looking indignant and stripping away all pretense of etiquette. It was only when Nie Zhao called his name that he ungracefully stood up. Lin Yong gave a brief overview of the investigation findings. According to Zhang Shihui’s initial statement, he was the one who had hidden the gun. Naturally, the details remained subject to further investigation. Although Huo Qi vehemently denied the allegations, he remained a suspect, primarily because as a traffic officer, he had failed to perform his duties and had instead gone undercover to infiltrate his superior's office, eventually discharging a firearm on the premises—all points of contention.
