The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 685 Life Imprisonment, 25 Years

Half a month later, after the relevant case was investigated and clarified, Qin Chuan met Song Baodong for the second time in the detention center.

The other person was still as gentle and refined as when they first met, looking every bit like a university professor.

When I first met Song Baodong, his expression was somewhat hysterical. Compared to Song Baodong now, he is much calmer. Just sitting there, he is like a teacher giving a lesson, calm and composed, yet with a gentle and kind smile on his face.

"Director Qin, hello."

Song Baodong never expected that Qin Chuan, the deputy director of the Linzhou Public Security Bureau, would come to see him, a murderer, again.

"Professor Song, hello."

Song Baodong shook his head: "Director Qin, you're too kind. I'm not a professor anymore. I'm just a murderer, a wretched old man waiting to be executed."

Song Baodong was well aware that his subjective malice in killing Gao Yunfeng was extremely strong. Although Song Baodong had not studied law, he had some knowledge of related matters.

Cases like Song Baodong's are examples of malicious killings committed with significant consequences and impact.

The likelihood of being executed is very high; there is no guarantee that a suspended sentence will be given.

Although Song Baodong's motive for murder was to avenge his daughter, he had another option, such as calling the police, but he didn't.

No matter what crime Gao Yunfeng committed, Song Baodong killed him, which is intentional homicide, and this crime cannot be waived.

"From my professional perspective, Professor Song, you are indeed a criminal suspect, and a murder suspect at that. However, we have also investigated Gao Yunfeng's case. From the perspective of an ordinary citizen, Gao Yunfeng certainly deserved to die."

Ha ha.

Song Baodong smiled and asked, "Director Qin, is there something you need from me?"

Song Baodong didn't continue the topic. It was no use talking about it now. Gao Yunfeng was dead, and Song Baodong's wish to avenge his daughter had been fulfilled.

In fact, Song Baodong had considered calling the police, but after learning about what his daughter had gone through, he couldn't suppress his excitement towards Gao Yunfeng.

My daughter has become addicted to drugs and has been tormented by them for so long that her life is basically ruined.

Song Baodong's son, Jinbao, whom he raised in Dali since childhood, was murdered by Jin Ge and subjected to such persecution. No one in his shoes would have chosen to report it to the police.

Sending them to the Western Paradise would be the best option.

"There is something."

Qin Chuan continued, "We have found the best drug rehabilitation center and psychological counselors for your daughter. In addition, all the members of the gangs other than Gao Yunfeng have been arrested. They will be sentenced to at least ten or twenty years, and two of them may even be sentenced to death."

When Song Baodong heard Qin Chuan say this, his eyes lit up.

Song Baodong didn't regret being arrested at all. In fact, he had already made up his mind that he would turn himself in after he killed several thugs outside the school.

What Song Baodong didn't expect was that a cigar would give him away.

But it doesn't matter now. Since they have received the punishment they deserved, Song Baodong's wish has been fulfilled.

"Thank you."

Qin Chuan shook his head.

"The fact that this happened is actually because our police did not do their job properly. If we had been able to completely eliminate these criminal gangs earlier, so many tragedies would not have occurred."

The crackdown on organized crime in Linzhou City only began a year ago, and Gao Yunfeng and others gathered together to persecute others. The events involving the other individuals also likely began around a year ago.

If the nationwide campaign against organized crime had been carried out more thoroughly at that time, and if local police stations and branches had made great efforts to crack down on them, Gao Yunfeng's criminal gang might not have developed into what it is today.

But it's no use saying anything now; what's done is done, so we can only try to make amends.

"Professor Song, there's also the matter of your intentional homicide this time. Although the crime was heinous and the intent was strong, considering that you surrendered yourself to the police, the subsequent trial may result in a death sentence with a two-year reprieve."

This was the best outcome Qin Chuan, as a police officer, could achieve for Song Baodong.

Although Song Baodong deserved to die for the murder, the fact that he didn't leave the laboratory but instead confessed to Qin Chuan gave the police the element of Song Baodong turning himself in when submitting evidence.

If you surrender yourself, you should be treated leniently.

Therefore, probation may be possible.

Once the other party's two-year suspended death sentence ends, he will enter life imprisonment. If he behaves well, his sentence can be reduced, and Song Baodong will be able to get out of prison in about 25 years.
