Chapter 297 Arresting Qi Tongwei
Everyone was shocked. They couldn't believe they could do this. Could this be the legendary Nezha, the most rebellious prince?
Qi Tongwei was completely serious; if he wasn't embarrassed, it was others who would be.
"Chen Dali, it's your turn."
Chen Dali is different. He really did it. His son died, and he cursed his parents to die. He's a scumbag, but he's also a filial son.
"I'll fuck your mother, you're a fucking orphan with no parents."
With a snap.
Qi Tongwei slapped Chen Dali hard across the face. "You're still being stubborn! If you weren't such a bastard, this whole mess wouldn't have happened. Don't think that just because you're dead, I can't investigate you."
Chen Dali's face burned with rage. He was the one who slapped others, and now that he had been slapped himself, he was instantly enraged.
"Hey Qi, I'm not done with you yet. Go ahead and investigate if you dare!"
Qi Tongwei clenched his fists. Damn it, he wished he could give Chen Dali and Zhang Jian each a knife and have them fight it out.
"Drag him out and lock him up. No one is allowed to visit him without my order."
"You surnamed Qi, what crime have I committed? What the hell gives you the right to arrest me?"
Chen Dali was so anxious that he shouted and yelled. He couldn't be arrested. If he couldn't find Zhang Jian's parents, then he would arrest his brothers and sisters.
"You're suspected of rape and murder, of course I have the right to arrest you."
Qi Tongwei waved his hand, "What are you standing there for? Take him away."
"Chen Shunjun, are you fucking dead? Say something! That guy surnamed Qi is abusing his power!"
Despite his frantic struggle, Chen Dali was still dragged away by the two policemen.
Chen Shunjun did not stop him. He knew that once Qi Tongwei's temper flared up, no one could change his mind, especially since he was nominally Qi's subordinate.
Zhang Jian laughed and said, "Officer Qi, you're trying to save Chen Dali, aren't you?"
Qi Tongwei was furious. "Zhang Jian, you fucking killed so many people. Even if it was just to vent your anger, that's enough. I'm a policeman, my job is to maintain order. You may think you're doing the right thing, but without order, there will only be more tragedies."
"Officer Qi, I agree that society needs order, but eliminating the cancer that plagues society requires the determination to undergo painful self-examination. Does your police station have that determination? Does the Tianhe Municipal Government have that determination? Does the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee have that determination?"
Qi Tongwei really couldn't answer these three aggressive questions, because he could be suspended immediately if he didn't perform well even slightly.
"Zhang Jian, I'll assume you're an idealist for now. I'll investigate your wife's situation thoroughly."
"Thank you, Officer Qi."
Stepping out of the interrogation room, Chen Shunjun immediately asked, "Chief Qi, are we really going to lock Chen Dali up?"
Qi Tongwei sighed, "Chief Chen, letting Chen Dali out now is like setting a powder keg. Don't forget Zhang Jian has brothers and sisters. Even if it's against the rules, we have to be prepared."
"Understood, Qizhi."
Chen Shunjun was indeed thinking too simply. If another death were to occur, the situation would only become more difficult to resolve.
Municipal Bureau.
Chen Zhihu reported, "Aunt, Chen Dali has been detained by the provincial authorities, supposedly on suspicion of rape."
A sly smile appeared on Chen Wenru's face. "That kid is afraid Chen Dali will retaliate against Zhang Jian's family. Have you found out about Zhang Jian's siblings?"
Zhang Jian has an older brother and two older sisters, who are currently in hiding.
Chen Wenru scoffed, "They're pretty quick. We must find them all."
Yes, Auntie.
The next morning, over a thousand people from Chenjiazhai went to the provincial government office with banners to protest their innocence, demanding the immediate release of Chen Dali and accusing Qi Tongwei of protecting the murderer and demanding his immediate suspension.
In the office, Qi Tongwei ignored her and asked, "Lan Ying, have you found anyone in the detention center and prison?"
Lan Ying flipped through her notebook. "Chief Qi, according to the investigation, Zhang Jian kept proclaiming his innocence while in detention, shouting that he wanted to sue Chen Dali. Everyone in the detention center avoided him like the plague, afraid of being retaliated against if they got too close to him."
"He was like a completely different person while in prison. He basically didn't communicate with anyone, and even when he was beaten, he wouldn't fight back. Nobody got close to him either."
This is strange, Qi Tongwei thought. Could it be that Zhang Jian didn't have any accomplices at all, and deliberately lied just to get the police to investigate the joint defense team? Or perhaps his accomplices weren't people he met in the detention center or prison?
"Then investigate the people around him, focusing on those who have been harmed by the joint defense team."
"Yes, Qi Zhi, do you want to go out and take a look? There are more and more people outside."
"Wait a moment, you go ahead and get busy."
"it is good"
With so many people arriving, Li Jitao had no way to avoid them and had to handle the situation himself. Qi Tongwei had reported to him the reasons for arresting Chen Dali, which he thought made a lot of sense. Little did he know that Chenjiazhai would pull such a stunt.
"Fellow villagers, fellow villagers, my name is Li Jitao. Please calm down. The comrades from the provincial department are working day and night and will never cover up the murderer. Please rest assured about that."
The people from Chenjiazhai were filled with righteous indignation; they had reviewed their prepared statements before coming.
"That sounds nice, but Chen Dali is clearly the victim, so why arrest him? Isn't that protecting the murderer?"
"That Qi Tongwei came to our Chenjia Village and injured so many people, and you don't do anything about it? You even want him to be in charge of investigating the case. Is that fair?"
"That Qi Tongwei should be arrested. He has a prejudice against our Chenjia Village and even called us gangsters. What a load of bull!"
"Arrest Qi Tongwei."
"Arrest Qi Tongwei."
"Arrest Qi Tongwei."
In an instant, the voices demanding the arrest of Qi Tongwei rose in waves, each one seemingly harboring a deep-seated hatred for him and wishing to skin him alive.
Such a grand spectacle immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers, and the number of people gathered quickly surpassed that of the people from Chenjiazhai.
Looking at the sea of people, Li Jitao had a headache. This was clearly a deliberate attack on Qi Tongwei. It seemed that the interests of some people had been touched, and ultimately, they were using this opportunity to strike at Ye Xingguo.
Holding the megaphone, he seemed a little overwhelmed. "Folks," he said, "Comrade Qi Tongwei is very dedicated to this case. He's been busy with it these past two days, not even having time to change his clothes. You must have misunderstood."
"The provincial procuratorate has already intervened in advance, and this heinous murderer will definitely be severely punished by law. Please rest assured and do not believe or spread rumors."
Immediately, the families of the murdered policemen, wearing mourning headscarves, and a group of women and children came out and knelt on the ground in unison.
"Sir, my husband died a terrible death, leaving us, a widow and orphans, how are we supposed to survive? I beg you, sir, to immediately execute the murderer and bring justice to my husband."
"Sir, my daughter is only one year and ten days old. She had just learned to say 'Daddy,' and now her father is gone. We have only one request: the murderer must be executed immediately."
"Sir, we, the victims' families, don't want anything, we just demand the immediate execution of the murderer. You have to give us a timeframe today."
Having committed such a serious crime, Zhang Jian's execution is a foregone conclusion, but Li Jitao is not the court, so how can he give a specific time?
