Chapter 299 Suspended from Duty to Go Shopping with a Foreign Girl
As soon as he finished speaking, the agitated crowd began to calm down. The people of Chenjiazhai stopped pushing and shoving the police. They hadn't expected Qi Tongwei to dare to reveal Zhang Jian's motive for murder. As a result, Qi Tongwei would definitely be suspended from his duties.
The onlookers backed away. It turned out that the murderer was not seeking revenge on society, but was a pitiful person driven to despair by society. Of course, the most important reason was fear of leaving a criminal record.
Li Jitao felt it was all over. This kid had really gotten himself into big trouble. Public opinion would inevitably sympathize with the murderer, and conspiracy theories would certainly emerge, which would be a huge blow to the image of the police.
Vehicle after vehicle of armed police arrived and quickly maintained order at the scene, bringing the entire situation under control in no time.
Chen Shunjun pulled Qi Tongwei inside. Qi Tongwei knew what he was about to face. He glanced back at the crowd of onlookers. Most of them were just going with the flow and had no idea about the truth of the world.
With the cooperation of the armed police, the crowd dispersed, and fortunately there were no casualties, which was a stroke of luck.
After the crowd dispersed, reporters from all over Tianhe City blocked the entrance to the provincial government building, demanding to interview Qi Tongwei.
Ye Xingguo rushed over and angrily gave Qi Tongwei a good scolding.
"Who told you to talk nonsense? Who told you to talk nonsense?"
"Do you have any evidence to prove whether Chen Dali is a rapist or not? Do you have any evidence?"
"You dare to make things up without any evidence? You're a police officer, don't you have any discipline at all?"
"Speak up, I'm letting you talk."
Qi Tongwei hung his head as he accepted Ye Xingguo's angry rebuke, "Director Ye, I didn't think that much at the time; I just didn't want a mass incident to happen."
Ye Xingguo paced back and forth in his office, furious. He was trying to calm himself down, knowing that the consequences of a mass incident would be unimaginable.
Do you know the consequences now?
Qi Tongwei remained silent. He knew that talking to a leader in a fit of anger would only lead to more mistakes, so it was better to keep quiet and accept the criticism.
"You're being too clever for your own good; now you're being led by the nose by the murderer."
Ye Xingguo's anger subsided slightly, and he said earnestly, "Do you know that the public, unaware of the truth, might sympathize with the killer, which is unfair to the deceased police officers. They might even be falsely accused, and it would also affect the government's credibility?"
Qi Tongwei understood that important people always prioritize stability above all else, which was certainly true; it's better to be a dog in times of peace than a person in times of chaos.
Even ordinary people want fairness and to live with dignity.
"Director Ye, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Ye Xingguo sighed. What wrong had this kid done? The only ones at fault were those with ulterior motives. But what could be done? No matter what you do in this world, you can't avoid struggle.
"You're no longer responsible for this case. Suspend your duties and reflect on your actions. Any objections?"
Qi Tongwei has once again become a victim of power struggles. There's no way around it; if you're weak, you get beaten. If you want to beat others, you have to climb up the ladder.
"Yes, Director Ye, I have no objection."
Ye Xingguo's tone softened; he couldn't really get rid of Qi Tongwei, as the knife was still sharp.
"I'm doing this for your own good, understand?"
"The boss is a dog," Qi Tongwei nodded. "I understand, Director Ye is protecting me."
"Good to know. Take this opportunity to explore Tianhe City. No matter how busy you are with work, young people need to have their own lives."
Ye Xingguo also admired Qi Tongwei, but the kid had too strong a personality, and in officialdom, being hypocritical was the best strategy.
"Yes, Director Ye."
A short while later, Qi Tongwei handed over his work to Chen Shunjun and left the provincial department alone.
Lan Ying chased after him, "Qi Zhi, is there anything else you want to say?"
"Continue investigating Zhang Jian's associates and try to catch his accomplices as soon as possible."
"Yes, Qizhi."
Qi Tongwei waved his hand, knowing he had made a huge mistake; suspension might turn into being fired.
As Lan Ying watched his retreating figure, she grew to increasingly admire her short-tempered boss, for he held a sense of fairness for ordinary people in his heart.
After driving off, Qi Tongwei was besieged by reporters, and the whole way was a scene of speed and passion.
After Qi Tongwei was suspended from his duties, the case was handed over to Chen Shunjun by the provincial department, and the municipal criminal investigation team also joined in.
Municipal Bureau.
Chen Wenru called Kang Yaozong, "President Kang, that kid's been suspended. He doesn't have a gun. You handle it."
"Thank you for the reminder, Director Chen."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhihu pushed open the door and came in. "Auntie, I'll go to the provincial department right now and bring Zhang Jian back."
"Nominally, this case is still under the jurisdiction of the provincial department, so Chen Shunjun is not a threat. We must get the suspect to talk as soon as possible."
Chen Wenru wanted to end the case as soon as possible to avoid getting involved in more problems.
"Yes, Auntie, I understand."
Without Qi Tongwei's restraint, Chen Zhihu would have been lawless and arrogant in the police station.
Chen Zhihu rushed to the provincial department and demanded that Zhang Jian be taken away. Chen Shunjun received Li Jitao's tacit approval and did not stop him. Now Zhang Jian is a hot potato.
Municipal Public Security Bureau, interrogation room.
Zhang Jian was in a terrible state. His hands were cuffed behind his back, and he was huddled in a corner, beaten black and blue, covered in injuries. Qi Tongwei tried to reason with him, but Chen Zhihu just resorted to fists.
Chen Zhihu picked up a glass of water and poured it over Zhang Jian's head. "I'm not that bastard Qi Tongwei. It's been several days, and you're still unharmed. Tell me, where is your accomplice? What's his name?"
Zhang Jian struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with a resolute determination as if facing death. "Officer Qi is different from you. You and Chen Daji are the same kind of people; you both deserve to die."
"Fuck your mother!"
Chen Zhihu flew into a rage and kicked wildly, while Zhang Jian gritted his teeth and remained silent.
"Captain Chen, calm down, calm down, don't kill anyone."
A criminal police officer quickly pulled Chen Zhihu away, saying that hitting someone was one thing, but killing someone was a serious matter.
Chen Zhihu stopped. Even if Zhang Jian was going to die, he had to confess his accomplices first.
"Interrogate him 24/7, we must make this bastard talk."
"Yes, Captain Chen, you can go and rest for a while."
Zhang Jian then suffered inhuman torture, but he still didn't say anything.
Late at night, at the beach.
Three men from Hong Kong, their faces filled with murderous intent, disembarked from the fishing boat. They were the assassins the Kang brothers had hired from Hong Kong.
The leader was called Sang Bo, a vicious and cruel man who would kill anyone for money.
Inside the villa, Kang Yaobei, with his young lover in his arms, received a call from his underling Lei Lie: "Boss, we've picked up the assassin. We can make our move after tonight."
"Ah Lie, it has to be absolutely perfect. I don't want to hear any more news of failure."
"yes, Sir"
Qi Tongwei didn't have to go to work the next day and slept until he naturally woke up. It felt great! Once you stop working, you really don't want to work.
Having some free time, he invited Jessica, a foreign woman, out for a stroll. He had promised her last time, and he couldn't break his promise.
He took Jessica to Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street. Along the way, Jessica was very curious and wanted to try all kinds of food.
Jessica, holding a string of candied hawthorns, said, "Mr. Qi, you're so busy. You must learn to enjoy life."
Qi Tongwei certainly wanted to enjoy life, but being backward meant being vulnerable to attack, and he didn't want to see the Eight-Nation Alliance invade the Forbidden City again.
"Miss Jessica, I love my job; it makes me happier."
Jessica chuckled. Work is so tedious, how could it possibly bring joy? "Mr. Qi, you're so funny!"
Not far away, Sang Bo and his two henchmen were following Qi Tongwei, ready to make their move at any moment, complete the mission as soon as possible, and get the money to go back to the nightclub to play with women.
