Ji Changming's mind was racing. Changes in Handong were happening far too fast, and there were simply too many uncontrollable factors. Anyone connected to the public security, procuratorial, or judicial organs was trying to use him as a pawn. If Ji Changming hadn't always insisted on doing things strictly by the book, he would have been sucked into the whirlpool long ago. Especially now that the variable named Zhong Zhengguo had arrived, the future political struggles in Handong were bound to become even more frequent. With the legal and judicial systems serving as the main battlefields, could peace possibly last?
Unlike Ji Changming, Hou Liangping was determined to strike a blow at Li Dakang. He had investigated virtually every official in Jinshan, big and small, and had even used both overt and covert threats to pressure them into informing on others. "Turning yourself in can earn you credit, and reporting others can also earn you a chance at merits," Hou Liangping told them. Of all three men, Hou Liangping was undoubtedly the one making the biggest splash.
As for Chen Hai, ever since the interrogation results came out, any possibility of making progress had been completely snuffed out. Chen Hai had only managed to find out that for a period of time prior to the shooting of Qi Tongwei, rumors regarding Qi Tongwei had circulated widely through the Jinshan resettlement area. Yet try as he might, Chen Hai simply could not trace the source. It was too difficult.
