Seahold was very big, with radiation coming from all three provinces. Seahold was very small, and the only place where it flourished was along the coast.
Almost all the first-rate families in Seahold lived in the vicinity of the coast and were familiar with each other. As for Xia Ming's suicide, it was already known to everyone within half an hour.
Of course, this was only limited to families of equal standing as the Xia family.
Liu Zhongtian also received the news. Moreover, his information was more detailed than others. The reason was because Wang Xuexi's case had already reached a critical stage. Even though the obstruction was huge, Xia Ming, the real mastermind, still slowly surfaced.
On the other hand, Xia Ming was out with his bodyguards tonight, so he received a report early in the morning.
However, the situation turned out to be completely out of his expectations. He found it unbelievable that Xia Ming had actually died. Based on his understanding of Xia Ming, he knew that it was possible for him to be killed. As for committing suicide, it could be called a fantasy.
After sitting in his bedroom for a while, he suddenly thought of the case he had asked Zhang Yongsheng to investigate, so he called him and asked about Xia Ming's death.
After listening to Zhang Yongsheng's speculations and description of the suspect, Liu Zhongtian was suddenly envious. He put on his clothes and ran downstairs. After saying goodbye to the old man, he immediately rushed to the police station.
He was not the only one. The Xue Family members who received Xue Weimin's call all took action at the same time, moving from the North Sea Fleet to the leaders of the city committee. They all took action.
All of a sudden, the road leading to the city's police station was filled with military vehicles.
The interrogation room was filled with swords and crossbows. It seemed like Chen Yang had taken control of the situation, but in reality, it was already too late for him to back down now.
After releasing Xia Yuantian, facing so many police officers, he could only surrender.
If they didn't release him, it wouldn't be good to continue the stalemate.
”Little brother, let Director Xia go first. I guarantee you, we will definitely enforce the law impartially.” The middle-aged man was on the verge of tears. His boss had been kidnapped, and he was still in the interrogation room.
Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, ”I can let him go, but there are two things I have to say. Firstly, I didn't kill him, Xia Ming's death has nothing to do with me. Secondly, this Commissioner Xia pulled out a gun and pointed it at me. I was acting in self-defense. As long as you admit it, I'll let go now. ”
”This —” The policeman looked hesitant.
”Don't listen to him. He was the one who killed people and kidnapped public officials. He must not be let off. ” Xia Yuantian quickly called out.
Xia Yuanhang stared at Chen Yang as a light flashed across his eyes.
”Cough, cough.”
At this moment, a light cough suddenly came from the door. A middle-aged policeman walked in with Xue Weimin following behind him. When Xue Weimin saw the scene in front of him, he was immediately shocked and gave Chen Yang a wink.
Noticing Xue Weimin's appearance, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said, ”Have you remembered the two points I mentioned before?”
Upon hearing that, Zhang Yongsheng smiled and said, ”I'll listen to what you have to say first.”
Seeing Xue Weimin nod, Chen Yang repeated his words. Zhang Yongsheng looked at Xia Yuantian weirdly and said lightly, ”There's a monitor in the interrogation room. If what you say is true, I can promise you that your actions will be considered as justifiable.”
”Zhang Yongsheng, how dare you!” Xia YuanTian suddenly interrupted him and angrily said, ”You better think carefully, he's a suspect.”
”Xia Si, you used to teach us that we have to tell evidence. ”You also said that he is only a suspect and not convicted. Before that, no one is allowed to mistreat a suspect, not to mention that his life is in danger.”
Xia Yuantian was speechless, but Xia YuanXing frowned, took a step forward and cupped his hands, ”Chief Zhang, what do you mean by this? ”He killed my son. The evidence is clear and the witnesses are complete. Are you trying to break the law?”
”Chairman Xia, please grieve. None of us wants to see your son die in an accident. No matter who it is, as long as they are certain that it is the culprit, I will definitely bring them to justice. ”
Zhang Yongsheng came up on stage because of Liu Deyuan's advice. Although he had retired and his influence was no longer comparable to the Xia family, officials were most afraid of going out of his way. If you don't even give face to your old leader, who would dare to believe you?
