Over the past few days, the actions of Nie Zhenbang and his group had not gone unnoticed by the people of Dameng County. After all, it was hard to miss seven outsiders living in the Red Sun Guesthouse next to the bus station, leaving early and returning late, occasionally accompanied by a local or two. The oddities were first noticed by the owner of the guesthouse.
Fearful, the owner assumed they had stumbled upon a criminal gang and immediately reported it to the local police station. Instead of springing into action, the police station started to quietly observe Nie Zhenbang and his group. To their surprise, they found that the group was investigating the Secretary of the County Party Committee, Feng Dabiao, and his son. This was promptly reported up the chain.
