Chapter 164 A furious rebuke of corrupt officials and sycophants
Qi Tongwei chuckled, "Director Han, I just killed his son. You're sending me to provoke him, aren't you?"
"I'm warning you, watch your words and actions."
"Yes, Director Han."
Discipline Inspection Commission, interrogation room.
Vice Mayor Cao sat in a chair, handcuffed. The white-haired man had outlived his black-haired son, his hair had turned white overnight, and his spirits had completely collapsed. When he saw Qi Tongwei, the anger in his eyes seemed to set the entire interrogation room ablaze.
Vice Mayor Cao stood up angrily, glaring at Qi Tongwei, "Why did you shoot? Why did you kill my son?"
Two members of the Discipline Inspection Commission quickly restrained Vice Mayor Cao.
Qi Tongwei sat down with an indifferent expression. There were many people who hated him, so why should he care about a corrupt official?
"It is the father's fault if the son is not taught properly. It is truly pathetic that you still do not realize your mistake."
Vice Mayor Cao was pinned down by the disciplinary committee members, his anger, which was like a volcanic eruption, as he rushed over to kill Qi Tongwei.
Who do you think you are? What right do you have to lecture me?
Qi Tongwei calmly pulled out a pack of cigarettes, but the disciplinary committee members quickly stopped him, saying, "Comrade, smoking is not allowed here."
He glanced at the disciplinary committee members and said, "I'm very tired right now; I can't concentrate without smoking."
The disciplinary committee had no choice but to acquiesce to his smoking. They had been instructed by their superiors not to provoke the kid and to satisfy him as long as he didn't go too far.
Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette and took a puff, which, in Vice Mayor Cao's eyes, was a blatant humiliation.
He walked calmly up to Vice Mayor Cao, blew a puff of smoke in his face, and suddenly flew into a rage.
"Do you think you're qualified to judge me on behalf of the people?"
Vice Mayor Cao coughed several times from the smoke. To be pointed at and insulted by such a nobody was utterly outrageous and a disgrace.
"What kind of people are you? You're nothing but a petty person, a murderer."
Qi Tongwei cracked his neck, his face full of mockery, "Still dare to act like an official with me? You're just a prisoner now, even a dog knows to guard the house, but you son of a bitch are betraying national interests."
The disciplinary committee members were shocked; this kid's insults were really vulgar.
Vice Mayor Cao was so angry that his face turned red. He was used to being high and mighty and had never been humiliated like this before.
"This country was built by my fathers, and this city was developed by me and my comrades. You are just a freeloader. You have no right to point fingers at me. What contribution have you made?"
Qi Tongwei angrily threw his cigarette butt on the ground, sparks flying. "You're just as much of a freeloader. If it weren't for your father's glory, you wouldn't be where you are today. Don't think everyone's a fool. If you were a farmer's son, you couldn't even carry a load of manure."
"You son of a bitch, you enjoyed the glory of your fathers but didn't inherit their legacy. All you wanted was to get promoted and make money, not to serve the people. A corrupt official like you should have the word 'greed' tattooed on your forehead."
"How the hell do you think you've done right by those millions of martyrs?"
The insults were so harsh that even the disciplinary committee members felt chills; it was practically a case of killing someone by attacking their spirit.
Vice Mayor Cao was so angry he was panting heavily. Qi Tongwei was using such high principles to humiliate him, and he really couldn't refute it. In officialdom, everyone is supposed to be on good terms. Even if someone falls from power, they won't be relentlessly pursued or humiliated. He had only brought shame upon himself.
"Who do you think you are? You deserve to die a horrible death!"
Qi Tongwei chuckled, "What am I? Let me think. In the eyes of the nation and its people, I am a loyal guardian of the people. But in the eyes of a corrupt official like you, I am the murderer who killed your son."
It's another case of killing someone by destroying their spirit. Vice Mayor Cao watched helplessly as the murderer of his son was right in front of him, and he was so angry that he suffered a heart attack.
"you……"
The disciplinary committee members were also frightened upon seeing this. "Quickly, quickly, bring the medicine and call a doctor!"
Vice Mayor Cao was foaming at the mouth. Qi Tongwei watched the flustered disciplinary committee members, then swaggered out of the interrogation room. What was the big deal about a corrupt official dying?
Stepping out of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Qi Tongwei felt a sense of relief. Gazing at the blue sky and white clouds, he felt relaxed and as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
He accidentally kicked a newspaper on the ground, picked it up, and a news article from Guangdong Province caught his eye.
The head of the provincial anti-drug squad and his family of three were murdered; his daughter was only eight years old.
The newspaper didn't go into details, but the cruel reality was that the anti-drug squad leader had his eyes gouged out, his ears and nose cut off, and his hand and knee bones smashed with a sledgehammer. He was tortured to death by drug dealers.
The wife of the anti-drug squad leader was gang-raped by multiple men, her breasts were cut off, and she was slashed more than a hundred times on her face and body before being slit in the throat.
The eight-year-old daughter of a narcotics squad leader was doused with gasoline and burned alive.
Even an eight-year-old child wasn't spared. After reading it, Qi Tongwei clenched his fists, veins bulging on his hands. He had nowhere to vent his anger and wished he could torture all the drug dealers to death.
Vice Mayor Cao was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment and nearly died.
Han Weiping received greetings from the veteran comrades. The veteran comrades dared not go to Secretary Zhu, so they could only go to him. Han Weiping could not afford to offend the veteran comrades, so he could only endure being lectured.
Qi Tongwei was summoned to Han Weiping's office, and before he could even speak, he was met with a barrage of insults from Han Weiping.
"I told you to watch your words and actions, but have you been ignoring me?"
Qi Tongwei got used to it, because Han Weiping was now just another Ji Changming.
"Director Han, don't be angry. I lost my temper in a moment, so please don't blame me."
Han Weiping was furious but dared not refute the old comrade, so he could only retaliate by taking it out on Qi Tongwei.
"If it's not your fault, is it mine? You even managed to send Vice Mayor Cao to the hospital with your insults. Do you think you're so great?"
Qi Tongwei simply gave up; since the case was solved anyway, he said, "Director Han, vent your anger, curse all you want."
When Han Weiping saw Qi Tongwei's nonchalant attitude, he swallowed his words. After calming down and thinking about it, he realized that this kid was a troublemaker and he shouldn't have been allowed to meet with Vice Mayor Cao in the first place.
"I'm giving you a day off, kid. Get some rest, and you'll be attending the awards ceremony in a few days."
"Thank you, Director Han."
"You really need to control your temper, or you'll suffer the consequences."
Han Weiping spoke earnestly, expressing his admiration for Qi Tongwei, but cautioning that such reckless behavior in officialdom wouldn't get him far.
"Understood, Director Han."
"Good thing you know that. I'm doing this for your own good. Get out."
After Qi Tongwei left, Tian Xiaobing ran over to him, "Captain Qi, based on Huang Liansheng's description, the portrait of Old Qiu has been drawn."
He looked at the portrait and it seemed familiar. Suddenly, he remembered that he had seen it in the elevator of the Peace Hotel. Damn it, the wolf was right next to him.
"here you go"
Qi Tongwei immediately went to Han Weiping, "Director Han, the portrait of Old Qiu has been drawn. I saw this person at the Peace Hotel."
Han Weiping glanced at the portrait. "I'll issue an arrest warrant immediately. You must catch this mastermind."
"Yes, Director Han."
Qi Tongwei took Tian Xiaobing to the Peace Hotel and showed the waiter Qiu's portrait. The waiter vaguely remembered him because Qiu was from Hong Kong.
The waiter checked Mr. Qiu's registration information. He was from Hong Kong, named Qiu Jiang, and was 58 years old.
Qi Tongwei recalled that there was another middle-aged man in the elevator that day, and he felt that the two of them were familiar. "Wasn't there another middle-aged man with Qiu Jiang?"
The waiter thought for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, officer, I can't remember."
"Then check if there were any other Hong Kongers present on the day Qiu Jiang checked in."
The waiter checked again. "Officer, there is another Hong Kong resident named Leung Ka-shing, 42 years old."
"Check again, see if they checked out on the same day."
"Officer, no, Liang Jiacheng retired one day later than Qiu Jiang."
Thank you for your help.
Qi Tongwei thought for a moment, wondering if he was being a little paranoid.
"Captain Qi, I think Qiu Jiang has probably already run away."
Qi Tongwei nodded. "Let's go, Tian Xiaobing, I'll treat you to dinner."
"Captain Qi, you said you'd treat everyone to dinner at the Peace Hotel after the case was solved, does that still stand?"
"Of course it counts."
"Team Leader Qi is magnanimous"
Anyway, since it was after get off work, Qi Tongwei took Tian Xiaobing out for hot pot to treat himself.
At the Peace Hotel, Qiu Lao's assassins, Ah Feng and Ah Huo, hid in Qi Tongwei's room, causing Liang Gongzi a huge loss. Qi Tongwei must pay for this debt with his life.
