Chapter 293 The murderer surrenders himself
Chapter 293 The murderer surrenders himself
Shooting police officers, obstructing law enforcement, and now they're going to cause trouble at the municipal government—do they think the Chenjiazhai underworld's reputation isn't bad enough?
Chen Shunjun shouted to stop them, "Fellow villagers, fellow villagers, everyone calm down, don't add fuel to the fire!"
"Don't listen to that traitor Chen Shunjun! Today we must get the government to stand up for us!"
The villagers completely ignored Chen Shunjun. He was now caught in the middle, caught between a rock and a hard place. It was difficult to be a person, and even more difficult to be a good person.
After Black Panther shot Qi Tongwei, Chen Dafu was furious. "Foolish! You're a complete fool! How could you fire a gun at Chenjia Village? You're putting Chenjia Village on the fire!"
Black Panther retorted indignantly, "Uncle Fu, in all these years, who has Chen Family Village ever been afraid of? What's a mere policeman?"
Enraged, Chen Dafu smashed his teacup on the ground, shattering it. "Idiot! That kid's just a lowly cop! The head of the provincial anti-drug squad, a government official! Can't you use your brain? If you're going to kill him, don't do it in Chenjiazhai!"
"Uncle Fu, so what if he's the head of the anti-drug squad? He still killed Xu Feng, didn't he?"
Black Panther was still unconvinced. He only regretted not shooting Qi Tongwei dead earlier. Damn it, he was really lucky to be alive.
Chen Dafu's anger soared to the heavens. "Black Panther, from this moment on, you're not allowed to go anywhere. Left Knife, take his gun away!"
Black Panther sensed that Chen Dafu was truly angry, so he could only admit defeat, "Uncle Fu, I was wrong."
Zuo Dao immediately confiscated Black Panther's gun. Chen Dafu calmed down and waved for the two to leave.
After the two left, Chen Dafu quickly called Chen Wenxiong, "Brother Xiong, Black Panther almost killed that kid with a gun in Chen Family Village. It was my fault for not managing him properly; I'm willing to accept the punishment."
Chen Wenxiong already knew what had happened in Chenjiazhai, and said, "Don't make this stupid mistake again."
Chen Dafu broke out in a cold sweat. "Yes, Brother Xiong, what do we do now?"
"Wait and see"
"Brother Xiong, the villagers are going to the city government to demand justice. Should we stop them?"
Chen Wenxiong took a sip of his morning tea. "Let them make a fuss, then."
"Yes, Xiong Ge."
The shooting certainly had a negative impact on Chenjiazhai, but since Qi Tongwei injured so many villagers, it was only right that more people should know about it.
While driving with one hand, Qi Tongwei called Ye Xingguo to complain, embellishing the story.
"Director Ye, Chen Family Village is utterly lawless! A group of thugs attacked me and almost shot me in the head!"
Upon hearing the gun being drawn, Ye Xingguo was taken aback. "You fired a shot, kid!"
Qi Tongwei felt a pang of grievance and heartache. "Director Ye, it wasn't me who fired the shot. It was the people from Chenjiazhai who shot me. I almost died while calling you."
Ye Xingguo was furious. "Have you caught the person who fired the shot?"
"Director Ye, I escaped from Chenjia Village for my life. How could I dare to catch the murderer? If I'm too slow, I'll be dead."
Lan Ying pouted. Qi Tongwei was a real scoundrel. He was trying to poison Chenjia Village's reputation by calling the villagers thugs.
The thugs were no match for him; he killed anyone who stood in his way, and he suffered no loss whatsoever.
The fact that Chenjiazhai openly shot and killed a policeman made Ye Xingguo very angry, but it also gave him some leverage.
"It's good that you're alright. I still have to criticize you, kid. Knowing why Zhang Jian killed someone, why didn't you send someone to protect Chen Dali's wife and children?"
Qi Tongwei protested his innocence, "Director Ye, I'm just a mediocre craftsman. You can't treat me like a brilliant strategist like Zhuge Liang. That's giving me far too much credit."
Ye Xingguo knew it was a bit unreasonable, but how could his superior be wrong? "Now there are two more lives lost. You'd better be my strategist. I don't want to hear about another murder."
Qi Tongwei was under immense pressure. His superiors only knew how to issue orders. "Yes, Director Ye, all the intersections in the city are now sealed off. The murderer won't be able to escape."
Ye Xingguo's tone softened, "I know you're under a lot of pressure, but you absolutely can't shirk your responsibilities."
"Understood, Director Ye. I'm not the kind of person who gives up halfway."
"That's settled then. You stay away from Chen Family Village for now; let others investigate."
"Yes, Director Ye."
Upon returning to the provincial department, Qi Tongwei immediately arranged for people to protect Chen Daji's wife and children, as well as the families of the other injured and killed police officers.
"Lan Ying, retrieve all the files related to Zhang Jian."
"Qi Zhi, do you suspect Zhang Jian has accomplices?"
Qi Tongwei had this intuition. "Maybe," he said, "You go ahead and get busy."
"Yes, Qizhi."
Judging from the current situation, Lan Ying still believes that Zhang Jian's act of leading the police around in Dongshan was a ploy to lure Chen Dali away and kill his wife and children.
Chen Dali's wife was saved, which saved him from another tragedy.
In the hospital morgue, Chen Dali stared at the bodies of his two sons and wept bitterly.
"My son, my son!"
Heartache, anger, hatred—Chen Dali never imagined he would one day feel this kind of despair.
Chen Dali still clearly remembers the anger and despair Zhang Jian felt when he found his naked wife in the joint defense team; the murderous look in his eyes still sends chills down his spine.
Chen Dali doesn't regret raping Zhang Jian's wife; he only regrets not eliminating the root of the problem, which led to his current predicament.
"Brother Li, please accept my condolences. All the brothers have been sent out; they will definitely catch that beast Zhang Jian."
Chen Dali glared angrily, looking like he was about to go berserk and kill someone at any moment. "Have you found that beast's parents yet?"
"Brother Li, that bastard's parents have been taken away by the provincial police, and their whereabouts are currently unknown; they're probably hiding."
Chen Dali angrily grabbed his underling's collar, yelling, "Useless! Useless! Go find it now! Go find it now!"
"Yes, Brother Li, the brothers will definitely find it."
The underlings were trembling with fear. They were all terrified by what Zhang Jian had done. It was too ruthless, even more vicious than they were gangsters. He was aiming to wipe out the entire family, practically committing suicide together.
Chen Dali's idea of arresting Zhang Jian's parents to force him to show himself is a bit presumptuous. With such a big case, the police are not to be trifled with.
The villagers of Chenjiazhai went to the municipal government to make a scene, accusing Qi Tongwei of assault and demanding severe punishment. After making a scene for a while, they were persuaded to go back.
At the same time, news of Qi Tongwei being shot in Chenjiazhai quickly spread.
Whether it was the municipal party committee leaders or the provincial party committee leaders, they all felt that a major battle was imminent.
At the provincial headquarters, Qi Tongwei asked, "Chief Chen, what was found at the crime scene in Chenjiazhai?"
"The murderer must have conducted a thorough investigation of Chen Dali's home, acted ruthlessly, and had very little time to kill and escape. We still need to look at the evidence collected by the forensic department for more details."
Qi Tongwei nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, Chief Chen. Did you bring the witness back?"
"I'm sorry, Chief Qi, the witness has been taken away by the criminal investigation team. The municipal bureau also has experts in forensic sketching, so don't worry."
Qi Tongwei had no choice but to give up and wait a little longer, "Any leads on the gunman?"
"The gunman is still under investigation; it's likely a Type 54 pistol. The technical department is still conducting ballistic comparisons."
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy."
"it is good"
The armed police searched Dongshan for a day but still couldn't find Zhang Jian, so they had to send people to guard several intersections leading down the mountain.
Qi Tongwei stayed up all night, and all the police officers in the city didn't get a break. They had received a strict order from above to catch Zhang Jian within three days. This case had even alarmed the Ministry of Public Security.
The next day, at the main gate of the provincial government building.
A gaunt man walked in, and the guard immediately asked, "What are you doing here?"
The man appeared calm and composed, his tone even as he said, "I am Zhang Jian, here to turn myself in."
