My Dear Miss Medical Examiner

Nail

“Captain Song, Captain Song!” In a daze, someone was calling her name by her ear, but Song Yuhang couldn’t hear it clearly.

“A police officer is injured! Stretcher! Stretcher!” Several medical personnel ran over, lifted her onto the ambulance, shoved a tube into her mouth, and started performing chest compressions on her.

Amid the onlookers, the ambulance with flashing lights and blaring sirens sped away.

The city’s anti-drug task force also arrived to help clean up the battlefield and loaded the unconscious criminals onto police cars.

With that, the armed forces hiding in the deep mountains and forests on the outskirts of Jiangcheng City were completely wiped out.

As soon as Feng Jianguo returned to the city bureau, a call came in from the provincial office. Shortly after, key leaders from the municipal committee gathered to discuss the next steps.

In the city center hospital.

One by one, critical condition notices were coming out from the operating room. If it weren’t for Ji Jingxing firmly supporting Mother Song, she would have almost collapsed on the ground.

Finally, the lights in the operating room went out.

The doctor took off his mask and walked out, his face grim.

“Multiple organ failure, along with a severe infection, to the ICU.”

This meant she would not be able to walk for a long time, but fortunately, she still had her life.

Mother Song cried tears of joy, and together with Ji Jingxing, they pushed the hospital bed towards the intensive care unit.

Fang Xin and Duan Cheng were by their side, and after they had settled the patient, Zheng Chengrui patted his friend’s shoulder.

“I’ll go to the restroom, call me when you leave.”

Duan Cheng was comforting Mother Song while crouched on the floor, whispering to himself, “Quick in, quick out, we still have to go back to the office for the meeting.”

Fang Xin glanced in the direction of Zheng Chengrui walking away. He disappeared at the end of the corridor without any abnormalities.

“Hello?” The man took out another card from his pocket, inserted it into the phone, and made a call.

“She’s not dead yet, but she’s severely injured.”

There was a slight pause on the other end, with a hint of resentment in the voice.

“She’s really lucky.”

“Isn’t this good then? There won’t be any more interference.”

The man on the phone understood his meaning.

“Have you gone soft? It’s gone this far, there’s no turning back.”

The man remained silent.

He continued, “Kill her, and our great feud will be avenged.”

The sound of flushing water came from outside the restroom, signaling someone’s arrival. The man hung up the phone, pulled out the SIM card, threw it into the toilet, and left after a gushing sound of water.

Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau.

Operation meeting room.

“In summary…” before Xue Rui could finish speaking, the sudden knock on the door interrupted him. A group of high-ranking police officers in uniforms escorted a middle-aged man into the room.

He also adorned a silver olive branch on his shoulder, and his rank was no less than that of Feng Jianguo.

The scene resembled an arrest of a criminal suspect, Xue Rui took a step back.

The group of people closed the door behind them, and the leading police officer walked to the front with a solemn expression, speaking in a deep voice.

“Hu Senji, Deputy Director of the Anti-Drug Bureau of the Binhai Provincial Public Security Bureau, following orders from the senior leadership of the provincial public security bureau, is forming the 7.15 Special Task Force to take over all drug enforcement and anti-drug work at the city bureau following the armed conflict last night.”

Seated below were members from the City Criminal Investigation Division and leaders from the Anti-Drug Division, all exchanging glances.

What does this mean? Are they all being excluded from this case?

More importantly, the establishment of such a significant task force was not disclosed in advance to the two main leaders at the city bureau.

Feng Jianguo remained calm, while the Deputy Director couldn’t sit still.

“What’s the meaning of this? This is a case within our jurisdiction and should be handled jointly by the city bureau and the provincial headquarters.”

Director Hu coldly snorted, “It’s such a significant incident in your jurisdiction. Without holding anyone responsible, it’s all about balancing gains and losses. Don’t push your luck and overstep boundaries.”

His words were a bit harsh, causing the Deputy Director to slam his hand on the table, “You…”

The sly old fox Feng Jianguo stood up, still smiling, with a friendly expression on his face.

“Hey, look, the incident just happened last night, and Director Hu came all the way here in less than four hours. It’s really hard work and laborious.”

“Please sit down first, Xiaoxue, get a cup of tea. We were discussing this case and wanted to hear the opinions of the leaders from the province as well.”

Everyone present was shrewd, how could they not hear Feng Jianguo subtly criticizing them, suggesting they were more cunning than dogs.

As for the following words, they were just polite gestures. After all, he was also a leader. It wouldn’t be appropriate to kick him out in front of so many people.

Hu Senji adjusted his tie and reluctantly swallowed his anger, taking the empty seat beside Feng Jianguo.

Once seated, Feng Jianguo began. He clasped his hands together, gazing at him with a peaceful expression.

“A few years ago, I met Director Hu during a meeting at the provincial headquarters. At that time, he was responsible for part of the anti-drug work following Director Zhao. He still exudes charm, unlike me, already halfway to the grave.”

Hu Senji was a few years younger than him and had recently been promoted to Deputy Director, showing respect to the elder.

He almost choked, cursing inwardly: that sly old fox, truly cunning.

“Ahem…” Hu Senji cleared his throat, placing a hand to his lips. “Let’s discuss the case. We can catch up once the case is resolved.”

Feng Jianguo raised his hand, “Xiaoxue, continue.”

When the enemy doesn’t move, I don’t move.

When the chief doesn’t move, subordinates naturally dare not move.

Xue Rui, once again with a stiff scalp, stepped up to the platform.

“Last night, we destroyed an armed stronghold on the outskirts of Jiangcheng City, seizing a large quantity of new drugs, arresting dozens of criminals, impounding five vehicles involved in the case, and twenty-one individuals died in clashes with the police…”

Speaking in front of so many people, he was actually a bit nervous, as he had only recently taken office. However, recalling everything that happened last night and seeing the hopeful look in Feng Jianguo’s eyes below the stage, Xue Rui took a deep breath and began to speak confidently.

While he was reporting to the leaders of the City Bureau and the Provincial Headquarters, several police cars drove out of the City Bureau gate, speeding through the streets and heading straight to the front of the Huange Nightclub.

The car doors opened, and armed police officers jumped out, forcefully breaking into the nightclub. They pulled out several individuals involved in the case – some in waiter uniforms, others in smart suits, and even some women dressed provocatively – all handcuffed and escorted into police cars.

The grand entrance of the Huange Nightclub was sealed with a banner, officially closed for business.

Onlookers in the crowd pointed and whispered.

“What’s going on? It was running normally, how did it suddenly get shut down?”

“Sigh, must have done something wrong, look at the commotion, it must be serious.”

“Good that it’s closed, must have been up to no good. I’ve heard they weren’t in legitimate business anyway.”

“Shh, keep your voice down. To operate here for so long, who knows what’s going on behind the scenes…”

Rumors spread like wildfire.

In the City Bureau interrogation room, urgent questioning of the surviving criminals was also underway.

People in the corridors were all serious-faced and hurried.

After Xue Rui summarized the general situation, the entire operations meeting room fell silent.

Even though Hu Senji had heard some rumors before arriving, when he saw those images, he still swallowed hard.

The video brought back by Song Yuhang at the risk of her life became the most direct evidence exposing the crime. This evidence forced the entire public security forces in Jiangcheng City, and even the entire Binhai Province, to mobilize. The momentum was unstoppable.

Feng Jianguo not only copied this evidence to the Provincial Headquarters, but also to others, although he couldn’t reveal it yet.

The sly old fox fiddled with the pen in his hand. “Through the investigation, we learned that the drug traffickers will conduct a two-billion deal with a mysterious buyer in seven days. The drug lord, Supeme Lord, spanning China, Myanmar, and Thailand, will also be involved.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Senji slammed the table.

“That will be the perfect opportunity for us to capture them all! I will take full responsibility for coordinating the operation on the ground…”

Feng Jianguo interrupted him, “Hu, you’ve seen it too. The drug trafficking organization is well-organized, heavily armed, and has a large number of members. The forces from the Special, Criminal, and Drug Control departments alone may not be enough.”

“I will request to deploy the Armed Police operational forces to join the battle.”

The sly old fox remained calm, “The procedures are complex, it may take some time to arrange.”

“You…” Hu Senji was taken aback, thinking to himself: “Damn it, you’re a high-ranking Public Security Bureau Director, mobilizing the Armed Police Support Team within your jurisdiction is just a matter of signing a document.”

Before he could speak again, a steady voice interjected.

“In urgent situations, I have discussed with the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security and the Armed Police forces. I will take on this responsibility.”

The crowd stood up one after another, “Director Zhao.”

“Director Zhao.”

“Director Zhao.”

……

The old man’s face bore the marks of years passed, with white hair and a slightly disheveled tie. He wore a snow-white high-quality dress shirt under a navy blue police uniform, devoid of any speck of dust. A silver olive branch emblem adorned his shoulder epaulettes, encircling the national emblem halfway. Accompanied by several senior police officers from the Provincial Headquarters, he walked in and headed straight to the main seat.

Feng Jianguo respectfully moved aside to make way for him.

He sat down, hands clasped together, lips pressed tightly, and gazed at the room full of people before making a solemn announcement.

“Starting now, the 7.15 case is under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Public Security, directly managed by the Provincial Headquarters. All other units are to assist the Provincial Drug Control Bureau in solving the case, with the aim to completely crush the criminal gang and restore peace to our country’s southwestern border!”
