Everything was as expected, yet it was beyond Zhou Qingfeng's control.
When the FBI realized they couldn't directly take action against Zhou Qingfeng, they shifted their focus to Kongges.
Under the pretense of a "suspension for investigation," they removed the Sheriff of White Beach Town from the police force, completely cutting off his ability to intervene in the case.
As for the reason, it was readily available—someone like Kongges, who had worked in a chaotic area for a long time, was like a sewer cleaner; over time, it was inevitable that he would get tainted with filth and stench.
The FBI only needed to dig a little to find enough excuses to make him disappear temporarily.
Zhou Qingfeng found this incredibly frustrating.
Like the FBI, Old Beck and others believed Kongges, as the first sheriff to arrive at the crime scene, was highly suspicious.
Both openly and subtly, they urged Zhou Qingfeng to sever ties with Kongges completely and not get involved in this turmoil.
