I really don't want to be an official if I transmigrate into Qi Tongwei's life.

Chapter 101 Breakthrough in Smuggling and Murder Case

Cui Yong was confused by Qi Tongwei's words, which seemed to make a lot of sense.

Manager Hu was on the verge of tears. "So arrogant! Who's the arrogant one here? Who the hell started this?"

Tian Xiaobing felt that Qi Tongwei was even more arrogant. It seemed that he was the one who started hitting Manager Hu, but why did he feel so good about it?

Tang Guozhong whispered to Cui Yong, "Captain Cui, time is of the essence. Solving the case is the priority. If we get into trouble, this kid will be the one to take the blame."

Cui Yong disliked Qi Tongwei no matter what, but Tang Guozhong's words made sense. Since there was no clue in the case, he decided to let the kid try his luck.

Call an ambulance immediately.

"Captain Cui, an ambulance has already been called."

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Tian Xiaobing felt that he was just being sarcastic, and now he was provoking Captain Cui. If Captain Cui couldn't control Qi Tongwei, he couldn't control him either.

A short while later, a car from the Industry and Commerce Bureau drove up, and four people got out.

"Officer, what's the situation here?" asked Section Chief Xu, who was in charge of the team.

Cui Yong swallowed his words, but Qi Tongwei walked over and asked, "May I ask your name?"

My surname is Xu.

"Section Chief Xu, this is what happened. A section chief from the Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau was murdered a couple of days ago. It was done by a smuggling gang. Smuggling is rampant in Shanghai right now, and we suspect that this 4S store is a den for selling stolen goods. I have already taken photos of these high-end cars, and I have filed records of their appearance, identification numbers, and engine models. So we have asked the Industry and Commerce Bureau to investigate as soon as possible how many smuggled cars are hidden here."

Section Chief Xu was surprised to find such professional personnel in the police force. "Don't worry, officer," he said, "we will investigate as quickly as possible."

How long will it take approximately?

Section Chief Xu thought for a moment, "Officer, the comparison is a very complex and tedious task, so it will take at least seven days."

"Section Chief Xu, I'm only giving you one day."

Section Chief Xu immediately became anxious, "Officer, I simply cannot fulfill your request."

"Section Chief Xu, don't worry. I just need you to find out which part is being smuggled, like the engine. Our comrades have sacrificed their lives, so we must race against the criminals now, otherwise more comrades will be sacrificed. Do you understand?"

Section Chief Xu felt immense pressure; Qi Tongwei's words made him realize that the lives of his comrades were on his shoulders.

"Officer, this method is possible, but we've never done it before."

Qi Tongwei patted Section Chief Xu on the shoulder, "Comrade Xu, now is the time for the Party to test you. We have all sworn an oath under the Party flag to fight for the cause of communism for the rest of our lives. Can you do it?"

"Officer, I will do my best to complete the mission."

"It's not about doing our best, it's about absolutely completing the task."

Okay, I'll start working right away.

"Thank you for your hard work, comrades."

Cui Yong, Tang Guozhong, and Tian Xiaobing stared intently at Qi Tongwei, who seemed to radiate a great light at that moment.

Manager Hu felt like he already had one foot in jail, and wondered if he should confess sooner rather than later.

The 4S store was shut down by the police. After hearing the report, Han Weiping tacitly approved of this brutal way of handling the case. Solving every murder case is an important performance indicator for the police station.

The director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau received a call from the first secretary of the municipal party committee, requesting full cooperation with the police investigation into the smuggling murder case. This represented the top leader's intention and directly accelerated the case.

The director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau personally led the team, working overtime to complete the one-day task assigned by the police.

The task was completed an hour ahead of schedule the following afternoon. All the luxury cars were smuggled vehicles, which was extremely brazen.

Interrogation room of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Manager Hu felt that 24 hours was incredibly long.

Qi Tongwei walked in. "Manager Hu, don't even think about getting out. From now on, prison will be your home. The comrades from the Industry and Commerce Bureau have already found out; they're all smuggled cars. You guys are even more lawless than me. What kind of powerful backing do you have?"

"Officer, I confess, I confess!"

Manager Hu immediately surrendered.

"Fuck your sister, are you really that cowardly?"

Qi Tongwei wanted to slap him, but he hadn't even made a move yet.

Tang Guozhong and Tian Xiaobing were speechless. Why didn't they just confess earlier?

"Speak now! If you dare tell even one lie, I'll beat you to death!"

Manager Hu was completely convinced; he simply couldn't afford to offend this police officer.

"Officer, I don't know the boss's name, everyone just calls him Brother Fu. He rarely appears at the 4S store. I have no involvement in how the smuggled cars came about."

Do you have a picture of Brother Fu?

"Officer, Brother Fu is very cautious; he won't take any photos with us."

Qi Tongwei patted Manager Hu's fat face, "If that's how you talk, then what's your role? Why would Brother Fu entrust such a large 4S store to you?"

"Officer, please don't look down on me. I used to be the office director of a state-owned factory, after all."

"Did you know these cars were smuggled?"

"I asked Brother Fu for the customs declaration form, but he told me not to ask about things that weren't my business, saying that the Industry and Commerce Bureau wouldn't dare to investigate."

Qi Tongwei was a little confused, "Then why did you cheat me? You could have just given me the car."

"Officer, actually we sell luxury cars, not Jettas. I saw you were dressed so casually, so I thought I'd rip you off."

Qi Tongwei raised his hand, really wanting to slap him. "I'll crush you with thirty million!"

"You didn't scam me, but you scammed your rich brother. I bet he won't let you get away with it."

"Officer, I've confessed everything. You must protect me and my family."

Damn it, after all this time, it was all because Qi Tongwei was too low-key that he made a mistake.

"I want to know, if I give you all 15 yuan, will you give me the car?"

"Officer, I'll use the money to buy you a smuggled car and make a profit on the difference."

"You son of a bitch, if this were during the War of Resistance against Japan, you would definitely have become a traitor."

"Officer, I've always been afraid of pain, but I had no choice."

Manager Hu is now emphasizing honesty.

According to the Administration for Industry and Commerce, the legal representative of Jin Xin 4S store is Shen Guoqing.

You wouldn't believe it until you investigate. Shen Guoqing's father is a veteran revolutionary, his brother is the vice mayor, and his sister is the director of the investment promotion bureau. With such powerful backing, it's no wonder he dares to openly display smuggled cars in 4S stores.

Upon closer reflection, another problem arose: how could such a family do something so foolish? Was Shen Guoqing an idiot, being manipulated?

In the task force's meeting room, Han Weiping asked, "So far, what are everyone's thoughts on this case?"

"Director Han, I think we should find that rich guy first," Cui Yong said.

"Director Han, we need to arrest Brother Fu, but we can't let Shen Guoqing get away either. I'll go and bring him back for questioning first."

Qi Tongwei knew they were wary of the Shen family, but he wasn't afraid. He had come this far; how could he back down?

"Director Han, don't worry, I guarantee Shen Guoqing will be completely safe."

Han Weiping thought about it for a moment, and realized that only Qi Tongwei would dare to do this.

"Alright, Brother Fu will be followed by Captain Cui, and Qi Tongwei will follow Shen Guoqing."

"Yes, Director Han."

After the meeting, Qi Tongwei, along with Tang Guozhong and Tian Xiaobing, headed to the old cadres' compound in Shanghai.

Armed police were guarding the entrance. After Qi Tongwei explained his purpose, the armed police immediately called to ask Mr. Shen whether he wanted the police to be allowed in.

After waiting anxiously for a while, Old Shen agreed to let them in.
