Chapter 137 The Big Boss is Getting Transferred
Qi Tongwei guessed everything correctly. The big fish was so scared that his back was soaked with sweat. He knew that if he told anyone, he would die. He couldn't admit it no matter what.
"You're talking fucking nonsense! What's wrong with me climbing over the wall in the middle of the night? What's wrong with stealing a little something? Don't try to pin this on me!"
The big fish is going all out; it can't let the police intimidate it.
Qi Tongwei was well aware that murder meant the death penalty, and a murderer would never confess to murder unless he tried to deny it until the very end.
"You'd better hold on for a few more days, or I'll still respect you as a man. Old Tang, do as you say."
"Yes, Captain Qi."
Qi Tongwei opened the door and went out, then began interrogating Huang Lianzhong again. Huang Lianzhong was handcuffed to the interrogation chair and shouted arrogantly.
"Qi Tongwei, you fucking let me out of here right now! Do you even know who I am? The taxes I pay to the government in a year are more than you could earn in a lifetime!"
Qi Tongwei opened a bottle of mineral water and poured it directly over Huang Lianzhong's head, giving him a thorough chill.
"You son of a bitch, your henchmen have all confessed that you ordered the kidnapping of Wang Guizhi's daughter."
Huang Lianzhong panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down. Had the big fish really confessed, or was Qi Tongwei extorting him? Murder was a capital offense, so the big fish definitely wouldn't confess. Kidnapping might lead to a confession, but that wouldn't do the big fish any good.
"Qi Tongwei, I have no idea what you're talking about. Stop trying to fool me. I have so many henchmen, what they do is none of my business."
It seems Huang Lianzhong does have some brains after all.
Qi Tongwei grabbed Huang Lianzhong's chin, "You son of a bitch, you know very well how you made your money. Don't think that just because you have a few stinking bucks now you can trample on other people's lives."
"Let me tell you, whether you killed Zhou Dequan or you sent someone to kill him, you have to pay for it with your life."
Huang Lianzhong was stunned by Qi Tongwei's fierce gaze; that gaze had definitely killed someone.
Qi Tongwei released his jaw abruptly. Huang Lianzhong was a little flustered. He didn't know what evidence the police had. He needed to calm down and wait for his brother to come and save him.
Qi Tongwei knew that Huang Lianzhong wouldn't confess voluntarily; he was waiting for his protector to come and save him.
"Tian Xiaobing, let this bastard think this through tonight."
"Yes, Captain Qi."
Tian Xiaobing understood. He decided to think it over carefully, but he wouldn't be allowed to sleep, since how could he think if he fell asleep?
The next morning, Zhou Shasha walked into the school with confidence, undeterred by the scorching gazes of her classmates. From this day forward, no matter how many rumors and gossips there were, they could not break her. From now on, she would be Niu Gulu Shasha.
As soon as Han Weiping arrived at his office, he received a call from Vice Mayor Cao, who was very angry.
"Han Weiping, are your men police officers or bandits?"
Han Weiping was baffled by the question, but then realized that Qi Tongwei must have caused trouble again.
"Mayor Cao, don't be angry, what happened?"
"What don't you know?"
"Mayor Cao, I just got to the office. Why don't you wait while I ask?"
"Han Weiping, just play dumb. Last night, Huang Liansheng's brother, the fabric tycoon, was drinking with friends, and your municipal bureau arrested him without even asking any questions. If you don't have any evidence, release him immediately. Right now, the priority is economic development and construction. You'd better have some sense of the bigger picture."
"Mayor Cao's criticism is correct. I will investigate immediately and get back to you as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Han Weiping's temper flared up. What's wrong with developing the economy? Does that give you the right to break the law and commit crimes?
He immediately called Qi Tongwei to his office, only to be told that Qi hadn't come to work yet. Han Weiping was so angry he almost cursed.
Qi Tongwei took the car to the repair shop and was negotiating the price when his phone rang. It was Han Weiping's office phone.
"Han Ju"
"Hey kid, do you have any discipline at all? What time is it? Why aren't you at work? Do you think the police station is your private property?"
On the phone, Han Weiping launched into a tirade of abuse, feeling much better after venting.
Qi Tongwei was completely baffled. "Director Han, why are you so angry so early in the morning? Last night, Huang Lianzhong sent people to kidnap Zhou Dequan's daughter, but I caught them red-handed, which is why I'm late."
Han Weiping finally understood why Vice Mayor Cao was in such a hurry to make the call.
"Then why didn't you call me to explain the situation?"
"Director Han, it's the middle of the night. How can you sleep after being woken up?"
Han Weiping understood that the young man was making fun of him for being old.
"Whether you can sleep or not is none of your business. I'm asking you why you didn't report it immediately."
Since the leaders were all right, Qi Tongwei gave up arguing, saying, "Director Han, I was wrong. This won't happen again."
That makes more sense. Han Weiping felt relieved. "The kidnappers have all confessed."
"No, they're very stubborn and probably won't confess anytime soon."
As a result, Han Weiping had no choice but to agree to Vice Mayor Cao's request to release Huang Lianzhong first.
"Then come back right away, and we'll talk when you get back."
"Yes, Director Han."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei continued negotiating the price, "Boss, how much more will it cost to install the windshield and windows today?"
"3000"
"Okay, 3000 it is. I'm a policeman and I need the car urgently. Don't try anything funny."
"Yes, officer, I promise I'll install it today and it'll look like a brand new car."
After paying the money readily, Qi Tongwei immediately took a taxi back to the Municipal Bureau.
"Boss, I think this police officer has been embezzling quite a bit."
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work. Don't discuss people you can't afford to offend; loose lips sink ships."
Upon returning to the Municipal Bureau, Qi Tongwei immediately ran to Han Weiping's office.
"Director Han, is someone above putting pressure on you?"
Han Weiping sighed, "If there's no evidence, we'll have to release them for now."
"It's okay, we'll just let it go."
Han Weiping was taken aback. This kid had changed his ways today. Where had all that righteous indignation and hatred of evil gone?
"Are you out of your mind, kid?"
Qi Tongwei grinned, "Director Han, as a subordinate, I also have to share the burdens of my superior."
Han Weiping still couldn't believe these words came from Qi Tongwei's mouth.
"You agreed so readily, are you hiding something from me?"
Qi Tongwei was speechless. Was he really that untrustworthy to the leaders?
"Director Han, our main objective is to dismantle the smuggling ring. If the Huang brothers are involved, they will be caught sooner or later."
I knew this kid wasn't that kind-hearted. Han Weiping nodded, "Then let's do it your way."
"It was all Director Han's plan; I didn't have any plans."
"Stop talking nonsense, how much longer until we can close the net?"
Qi Tongwei genuinely didn't know. "Director Han, if we want to catch them red-handed, we'll probably have to wait. If we directly have the General Administration of Customs investigate Kaihui Trading Company's taxes, I guarantee we'll find something wrong. Of course, if the General Administration of Customs comes, it'll alert them, and they're not stupid; they'll definitely run away."
If the General Administration of Customs were to intervene, it would directly alarm the central government, and Han Weiping wouldn't be able to make that decision.
"Just treat it as if he was caught red-handed, now get out."
"Yes, Director Han."
After Qi Tongwei left, Han Weiping immediately called Secretary Zhu to explain the situation.
Secretary Zhu thought for a moment, then said, "Let's do as that kid says and catch him red-handed."
"Yes, Secretary Zhu."
"Director Han, there's something I need to tell you. I might be transferred, so you'll have to get that kid to speed things up."
Like a bolt from the blue, Han Weiping was completely stunned by these words.
