Chapter 210 Nightclub Murder Case
The saying goes, "To kill someone is to destroy their spirit." Ma Fengtian, like his son, broke down, his expression instantly transforming into anger, roaring, and struggling.
I'll haunt you even as a ghost!
Qi Tongwei laughed heartily as he walked out of the interrogation room. For some heinous criminals, a single bullet was too lenient. Some ancient punishments still had their merits; for example, the death by a thousand cuts was very applicable to Ma Fengtian and his son.
Ma Fengtian's case has come to an end. The materials to be transferred to the procuratorate were handed over to Chen Shunjun to organize. Qi Tongwei went home at eight o'clock and had a good night's sleep.
Qi Tongwei overslept the next day. It seems he is a lucky man; he can really fall asleep when he wants to.
When Lan Ying arrived at the provincial government office around 10 o'clock, she immediately went into his office to report a new development.
"Chief Qi, a rape and murder occurred last night."
In those days, the public security was poor, and there weren't as many surveillance cameras as in later years. Rape and murder were not surprising, and almost everyone from the village who went out to work disappeared.
"This is a matter for the criminal investigation team, what does it have to do with us?"
"Chief Qi, I've found out. The deceased was named Bai Jie, the top hostess at the Golden Phoenix Nightclub. The autopsy report shows she had used drugs before her death."
Qi Tongwei immediately remembered the Golden Phoenix Nightclub; this was information revealed by Zheng Guiqin, and investigating it would be a key focus going forward.
"I'll go find the leader right away and get this case back. You and Wu Dali get ready, you'll be coming out with me in a bit."
"Yes, Qizhi."
It's so comfortable talking to smart people; Lan Ying likes Qi Tongwei's energetic and decisive way of doing things.
Qi Tongwei arrived at Li Jitao's office and immediately shared his thoughts.
Li Jitao was in a dilemma. The case was with the Municipal Criminal Investigation Team. If he rashly took over the case, it would definitely make the relationship more and more strained.
"Can't you think of another way to investigate the Golden Phoenix Nightclub?"
"Boss, let's use the death of the hostess at the Golden Phoenix Nightclub as an opportunity to investigate openly and legitimately. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, so don't have any reservations."
Li Jitao was speechless. Without any consideration, what leader doesn't think things through carefully? Do you think everyone is like you, rushing forward like a headless fly, completely disregarding the consequences and impact?
"I'll think about it and get back to you in a bit."
"Yes, boss."
Qi Tongwei wasn't the kind of person who didn't understand social etiquette. Since it involved the Municipal Bureau, the leaders would definitely have to report to the higher-ups.
Once outside, Lan Ying immediately greeted him, "Chief Qi, has the leadership approved it?"
"The leader needs to consider it; it should be fine."
Since Qi Tongwei has said so, Lan Ying believes that the leadership will make the right decision.
Li Jitao called Ye Xingguo, but Ye Xingguo was still in a meeting. After half an hour, Ye Xingguo called him back.
"Ji Tao, is there something you need?"
Li Jitao reported Qi Tongwei's idea to Ye Xingguo, saying, "Director Ye, this matter involves the Municipal Bureau, and I'm worried that the comrades there might have reservations."
Ye Xingguo understood. Last time, he had caused such a big scene at Ma Fengtian's house that he was criticized by the leaders at the provincial party committee standing committee meeting. In short, they were all comrades, and unity was very important.
Of course, Ye Xingguo was not an old-fashioned person and had no shortage of personal courage. Since he had chosen Qi Tongwei, he would give his full support as long as it was conducive to arresting drug dealers.
"Ji Tao, I'll talk to Dai Chunsheng at the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Have that kid investigate."
"Yes, Director Ye, I'll inform that kid right away."
Dai Chunsheng is the director of the municipal bureau. As long as he approves, there shouldn't be any problem transferring the case.
Li Jitao immediately signed the document transferring the case, instructing Qi Tongwei to retrieve it from the municipal bureau.
"Don't rush to the Municipal Bureau, have lunch first. Remember, be polite. We're all comrades, don't act like enemies."
"Yes, sir, I promise I'll eat my fill before I go."
"Let's go, let's go."
Out of sight, out of mind. Li Jitao had a premonition that he was about to have another headache.
In the cafeteria, Qi Tongwei ordered three meat dishes and one vegetable dish, and the feeling of eating meat in big bites was truly satisfying.
Wu Dali was not to be outdone; he ate braised pork with oil all over his mouth, excited that he had another case to investigate.
Lan Ying sat there feeling a bit out of place. These two were practically starving ghosts reincarnated; no one was taking their food, yet they insisted on eating as if someone was fighting over it.
After finishing his meal, including a bowl of seaweed and egg soup, Qi Tongwei felt like going back to take a nap.
As he walked out of the cafeteria, he lit a cigarette and handed one to Wu Dali. "A cigarette after a meal is better than being a god," he said.
Lan Ying kept a distance of three meters from the two men, as she disliked the smell of smoke.
Qi Tongwei kicked Wu Dali, "What's wrong with you, kid? Trying to quit smoking?"
Wu Dali tucked the cigarette behind his ear. Despite his carefree attitude, he was quite considerate in front of the girl he liked. Knowing that Lan Ying disliked the smell of smoke, he consciously tried to control himself and avoid smoking.
"Qi Zhi, my throat has been a bit sore lately, and the doctor told me not to smoke."
Qi Tongwei was too lazy to expose him. "I've lived two lives, and I can't even see through this? You're just in heat."
"Lan Ying, do you have any friends at the Municipal Public Security Bureau?"
"What's wrong, Qizhi?"
Qi Tongwei chuckled, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Last time I had such a bad falling out with the Municipal Bureau, I'm bound to run into trouble this time. Does the Municipal Bureau have any explosive secrets that I can use to my advantage?"
Lan Ying did know about the rumors about Deputy Director Chen Wenru keeping a harem. Although her friend made it sound very convincing, there was no real evidence.
Chen Wenru wasn't stupid. She would first bring the men she fancied to her side, and once she was done with them, she would promote them and send them away, leaving no evidence behind.
Lan Ying didn't want to cause any further trouble. "Chief Qi, I haven't heard of any secrets from the Municipal Bureau."
Qi Tongwei tossed away his cigarette butt and stomped it out. "Alright, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Let's go."
Buckle up and Wu Dali floored the gas pedal and sped off.
Upon receiving the order from Director Ye, the Municipal Public Security Bureau Chief Dai Chunsheng immediately notified Deputy Chief Chen Wenru to have the Criminal Investigation Team transfer the case to the Provincial Public Security Department.
Although Dai Chunsheng was the director, Chen Wenru's third brother, Chen Wenjie, was the mayor. The police station was under the dual leadership of the municipal government and the provincial department, so he actually had little power to interfere with Chen Wenru's work.
Chen Wenru did not explicitly agree to Dai Chunsheng's request to transfer the case to the provincial department, but only said that she would first ask the criminal investigation team to find out the situation.
"Aunt, the case absolutely cannot be handed over to the provincial department."
Chen Zhihu was furious. Qi Tongwei had embarrassed him twice, and he absolutely could not hand over the case. If he did, it would be the third time Qi Tongwei had slapped him in the face.
Qi Tongwei repeatedly humiliated his nephew, calling Chenjiazhai a criminal gang. Of course, Chen Wenru wouldn't let Qi Tongwei get the case so easily. Once they were on the city bureau's turf, she was in charge.
"Zhihu, don't act rashly later. I have a plan."
Chen Zhihu clenched his fists, furious. "Aunt, I'll listen to you. You must avenge our Chen Family Village! That bastard Qi Tongwei injured so many people from Chen Family Village; they're still in the hospital. We can't just let this go."
That night, during the chaotic fight at the Tianhe Hotel, Qi Tongwei thoroughly enraged Chenjiazhai, and some people even suggested putting him in a sack and throwing him into the Lingdingyang to feed the fish.
