Chapter 2916 Tian Zehua of the Traffic Police Team

"I already know all of this, and I've investigated it myself," Qin Feng said calmly, reminding Feng Changjun to get to the point.

"The person who copied this dashcam footage and handed it to me was the captain of the Guanning Brigade of the Traffic Police Detachment," said Feng Changjun.

"The traffic police captain of Guanning District?" Qin Feng was taken aback.

"Yes, as mentioned before, after Comrade Qi Yaqiu's accident, no one knew that the person involved was the mayor. Everyone thought it was a traffic accident. The accident happened in Guanning District, and the first to arrive at the scene to investigate and take away the dashcam was the Guanning District Traffic Police Team."

"After Chang Yunbing's men arrived, they drove away the people from the Guanning District Traffic Police Brigade. The people from the Guanning District Traffic Police Brigade returned to their station and filed and submitted the on-site investigation materials according to regulations. Until this point, the Guanning District Traffic Police Brigade did not know that the deceased was the mayor, because the identity of the deceased was strictly kept secret at the time."

"However, Tian Zehua, as the captain of the traffic police team in Guanning District, knew through various connections that the mayor had died. After all, this matter was only kept secret from the general public, and it was not difficult for Tian Zehua, with his position, to find out this information."

"After learning that the deceased was the mayor, Tian Zehua realized the seriousness of the problem and knew that the evidence their traffic police team had found at the scene should be submitted to the municipal bureau immediately. This was not something that their traffic police brigade could get involved in."

"He immediately retrieved the evidence, including the dashcam's memory card, and prepared to personally deliver it to the municipal bureau. But before sending it away, his curiosity got the better of him, and he also wanted to see how a mayor could have gotten into a car accident. He also thought it was too suspicious for a mayor to die in a car accident."

"After watching the dashcam footage, Tian Zehua was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He realized the seriousness of the problem and understood that Qi Yaqiu's death was deliberately caused. He also knew that it was a huge political conspiracy."

"He knew he couldn't get involved in this matter, or he would be doomed, but he still had his own agenda and political motives."

"He secretly copied the footage of Qi Yaqiu's death from the dashcam's memory card, saved it to this USB drive, then put all the evidence back in its original place, and told the relevant personnel in the team not to tell anyone that he had touched the evidence."

"His guess was right. As soon as he put the things back, Chang Yunbing's men went to the traffic police station, took away the evidence, and checked one by one to see if anyone had touched them. They only left after confirming that no one had touched them. They also specifically found Tian Zehua and threatened him to keep the secret and told everyone in the team who knew about these things to shut up."

"Actually, by this point, Tian Zehua had already roughly guessed what Chang Yunbing and the others were going to do, because he knew how Qi Yaqiu died."

"Later, the municipal bureau classified the incident as a traffic accident, and Tian Zehua understood what was going on even more, so he had an idea in mind."

"At that time, there was a misunderstanding among the lower and middle levels of the Public Security Bureau that I and Chang Yunbing were irreconcilable enemies. They naively believed that two tigers could not share the same mountain, so Chang Yunbing and I must be mortal enemies. Moreover, I was being sidelined and suppressed by Chang Yunbing because Chang Yunbing was in charge of all the work of the Public Security Bureau, and I rarely showed up."

“Tian Zehua also believed that Chang Yunbing and I were political enemies, so he tried every means to find me and give me this USB drive. His idea was simple: Qi Yaqiu’s death must be related to Chang Yunbing. Even if Chang Yunbing did not plan it, he must have concealed the truth.”

“With this USB drive, the truth will come out, and Chang Yunbing will definitely be held accountable. So I will be very happy and will promote him.” Feng Changjun laughed as he said this, and then continued, “That’s where this USB drive comes from.”

As Qin Feng smoked, he listened to Feng Changjun explain the whole story. After listening, Qin Feng found it unbelievable. It proved the saying that the long arm of the law will eventually catch up with you, and that there is no crime in this world that leaves no trace.

Qin Feng picked up the USB drive and examined it carefully. He then asked Feng Changjun, "Where is this Tian Zehua now? Is he still alive?"

“Of course he’s alive, Mayor. You don’t think I would kill him, do you? I’ve said it before, I wasn’t involved in Qi Yaqiu’s death.” Feng Changjun smiled and continued, “Not only is Tian Zehua still alive, but he’s also been promoted. He’s now the deputy head of the traffic police detachment of Shazhou City Public Security Bureau. I personally promoted him.”

"Why was he promoted?" Qin Feng asked.

"There are two reasons. First, we are afraid that something might happen to him. After all, the incident occurred at the Guanning Traffic Police Brigade. If Chang Yunbing or the Yang family realizes something and pays attention to the Guanning Traffic Police Brigade, Tian Zehua may be in danger. It will be much safer for him to leave the Guanning Traffic Police Brigade."

“Secondly, I was also afraid that if I didn’t give Tian Zehua some benefits, he would take the risk of using this to go to Chang Yunbing, and he would definitely die then. So I simply promoted him to the position of deputy head of the traffic police detachment. He is a very capable person with seniority, so the promotion was a natural thing to do,” Feng Changjun explained.

"You've kept this USB drive all this time?" Qin Feng asked again.

“Yes, Tian Zehua gave me the USB drive and told me how he got it and his thoughts. I accepted the USB drive and told him to forget everything about the Qi Yaqiu case, forget the USB drive, and forget that he had ever been here, because if he revealed even the slightest bit of information, he would die immediately.”

"Tian Zehua is a bit clever, otherwise he wouldn't have realized the importance of the contents of this memory card, let alone thought of secretly copying it, let alone using it to curry favor with me in exchange for his own promotion."

"But he's not very smart either. Since he already guessed that Qi Yaqiu was murdered, he should be even more aware that if a mayor can be killed so easily and the truth can be covered up after his death, then he and I would be even easier to kill. He only wanted to get promoted, but he didn't think about whether he would live to enjoy the process of promotion," Feng Changjun laughed.

"Old Feng, I'd like to hear your thoughts after you got this USB drive. You neither handed it over to the organization, nor destroyed it, nor gave it to Chang Yunbing or the Yang family," Qin Feng asked curiously.

"You, Mayor, should know very well why I didn't hand this USB drive over to the organization. As I just said, they dare to kill even the mayor, let alone a deputy mayor like me. Besides, who would I hand this USB drive over to?"

“After the incident, the provincial and municipal governments put pressure on me. The process was actually very similar to the case of Shao Hongli’s death. They demanded that the case be closed as a traffic accident as soon as possible. Jiang Longjun put the most pressure on me.”

"Although no one has said it explicitly, the provincial and municipal party committees have made their intentions very clear. Who do you think I should give the USB drive to? Wouldn't giving it away be like sending myself to my death?"
