Chapter 94: A Case Within a Case

  Liu Hao stood up excitedly: Let's go find Yang Hongtao, he has the best relationship with my dad, he must know something.

  After hearing Liu Hao finish speaking, I and Yuan Ye stood up and followed him out. At this time, Aunt Liu came out of the kitchen and shouted: Where are you going?

  "We went to find Uncle Yang, he must know why Dad was taken away for double regulation."

  "You go after you finish eating."

  I waved my hand: no more eating, the longer it takes, the more unfavorable it is for Uncle Liu. We need to find out the cause as soon as possible so that we can get Uncle Liu out.

  "After saying that, we went out."

  "Aunt Liu muttered to herself: Alas, he's still just a child, I don't have any way out, what can you do? Go ahead, maybe a miracle will happen. After finishing speaking, she sat down weakly on the sofa, staring blankly into space, lost in thought."

  We soon arrived at Yang Hongtao's home, and the door was opened by a nearly 40-year-old middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance, slightly plump in build, but full of kindness on her face. However, her face is now filled with worry. When we entered the house, we saw Yang Hongtao sitting in the living room, puffing on his cigarette, also with a worried look on his face.

  "When he saw us coming in, he was surprised and said: Xiao Hao, how did you come? Is there something going on? Sit down and talk."

  "We sat opposite him and Liu Hao asked directly: Uncle Yang, I came to ask you, was my father framed? You must know the reason, tell me."

  Yang Hongtao hesitated for a moment and said: You know the reason, but there's no way to help. The person who framed your father is not someone we can touch. I've been looking for people to help us these past few days, but no one can help us.

  "I asked doubtfully: According to you, this person's power is very great. However, I have one thing that I don't understand, although Uncle Liu is the director of the Public Security Bureau, with his power it's impossible to threaten him, so why did he want to frame Uncle Liu."

  Yang Hongtao took a look at me and didn't ask who I was, probably because of the relationship between Liu Hao and me.

  "It's a long story, but seven years ago our bureau transferred in a young detective named Chi Hongjun. He was the most promising young person I've met in all these years - highly educated and a veteran of the military, with extremely strong case-solving abilities. Before being transferred to our city's bureau, he was just an ordinary police officer in a nearby town, where he had been investigating a rape-murder case that he refused to give up on even after his transfer. However, this case brought him disaster because the perpetrator was Sun Haodong, the son of the most powerful family in our province, the Suns. Even knowing it was Sun Haodong, Chi didn't back down and continued gathering evidence. When he finally collected enough evidence and sent it to court, just as he received the arrest warrant in Shenyang, he was knocked unconscious. When he came to, he found himself lying naked in a hotel room with a knife in his hand. Next to him sat a woman, also naked and covered in scars, crying. As soon as she saw him wake up, she screamed: 'Save me!'"

  Just then a group of police rushed in, took him away, accused him of rape, kidnapping and extortion, and sentenced him to 18 years.

  "We all know that this matter is obviously Sun Hao framing him, but there's no way we don't have evidence to prove his innocence. The reason he was convicted so quickly is because a high-ranking official from the province personally ordered that the case be handled severely."
