Chapter 114 An Unexpected Encounter with a Big Fish
Qi Tongwei stepped on the gas and blocked the Mercedes, which braked suddenly and made a slight impact.
The wealthy woman was furious and yelled, "You little bastard, how do you drive? Are you looking to die? Have you lost your mind?"
Qi Tongwei and Tang Guozhong immediately got out of the car, lifted the tricycle, and rescued the elderly woman.
Thank you, thank you.
The elderly woman endured the pain and repeatedly expressed her gratitude.
Qi Tongwei rushed over, opened the car door, and dragged the driver out.
"You fucking hit someone and then tried to run away, are you even human?"
Seeing the young man's aggressive demeanor and the great force he was using, the driver immediately backed down.
The wealthy woman immediately got out of the car and yelled, "You little rascal, how do you drive? It's her fault for being so careless and riding recklessly!"
Qi Tongwei threw the driver aside and pointed fiercely at the wealthy woman, "You old hag, do you even know you hit someone?"
The word "old hag" immediately broke the lady's defenses, making her feel worse than if she had swallowed a fly. She was an official's wife and usually loved to wear cheongsams, bringing back the old Shanghai style.
"You little rascal, do you even know who I am? My husband is the head of customs. You'd be terrified if I told you!"
Qi Tongwei sneered, "Good, Customs Chief, this is going to be interesting."
He immediately pulled out handcuffs. "Then have your husband come to the police station to pick him up."
The lady was startled, never expecting that Qi Tongwei, who drove a beat-up secondhand Jetta, was actually a policeman.
"So what if you're a cop? I know Chief Ding. Which police station are you from?"
Qi Tongwei, too lazy to waste words, roughly handcuffed the lady and threw her into the Mercedes.
"You little bastard, let me go right now, or I'll have Director Ding fire you!"
The lady was furious and cursed loudly. If her sisters found out, they would laugh at her if she got arrested by the police.
Tang Guozhong had already carried the pancake vendor to the car. Qi Tongwei walked over and gave her a wad of cash.
"Old Tang, take her to the hospital first. I'll cover the medical expenses. That old hag is the wife of the customs chief, and she drives a Mercedes. There's probably something fishy going on here."
Tang Guozhong understood. Once Qi Tongwei had his eye on him, he'd be lucky to escape with his life.
Okay, don't do it.
I don't usually hit women.
After Qi Tongwei finished speaking, he threw the driver into the Mercedes-Benz and sped off directly to the Municipal Bureau.
The noblewoman kept cursing and swearing at the little rascal, but Qi Tongwei picked up a tattered rag from the roadside and stuffed it into her mouth, which made things much quieter.
Back at the municipal police station, Qi Tongwei dragged a woman with a rag stuffed in her mouth. The police officers broke out in a cold sweat at the sight. Judging from her clothes, the woman was clearly a wealthy person. How did she end up in this guy's hands? She's in for a rough time.
Qi Tongwei threw the lady into the interrogation room and immediately ran to report to Han Weiping.
Han Weiping was completely bewildered after hearing this. "You've taken over the traffic police's job!"
Are you sure she's the wife of the customs chief?
"She said it herself, so it shouldn't be false. Director Han, I'll go and interrogate her first. You'd better be prepared to back her up."
Han Weiping touched his forehead; he was the only one left to clean up this mess.
In the interrogation room, Qi Tongwei randomly pulled a policewoman to accompany him on the interrogation, starting with the driver.
Name, Age
Zhang Hai, forty-two years old
Seeing this, the driver had no choice but to confess honestly. He was glad he hadn't resisted, otherwise he probably would have been beaten. These days, the police are very unprofessional, and violence is commonplace.
Qi Tongwei glared at him fiercely, "You hit someone, why didn't you get out of the car to help?"
Zhang Hai was in a dilemma. He wanted to get out of the car to rescue the people, but this job was hard-won.
Qi Tongwei understood; it seemed the old witch was behind it all. "You're the customs chief's driver?"
Zhang Hai quickly denied it, "No, no, I was sent by General Manager Huang to pick up Director Guan's wife to play mahjong."
Qi Tongwei was a little disappointed. It seemed the Mercedes didn't belong to the customs chief; it belonged to "that General Manager Huang."
"Huang Liansheng, the fabric tycoon, has a wife who often invites Guan Chang's wife to play mahjong, and I'm always the one who goes to pick her up."
Qi Tongwei laughed and said, "So you're always happy when Madam Guan leaves?"
Zhang Hai thought for a moment, "It seems so."
Qi Tongwei understood; there was something fishy going on here, it seemed to be a transaction of money and power.
How did you crash into the tricycle?
"Officer, that tricycle suddenly rushed out from the intersection; it really wasn't my fault."
Zhang Hai hurriedly tried to defend himself, arguing that it was clearly his fault for driving too fast, but of course, it couldn't be entirely blamed on him; it was Madam Guan who kept urging him on.
"There weren't any cars on the road, how could you still crash? I think it's clearly because you were driving too fast. Was Madam Guan in a hurry to go play mahjong and urging you to drive faster?"
Zhang Hai swallowed hard. The police were too sharp; it was as if they could see everything. But he was afraid of losing his job.
"Officer, I really didn't speed. I drove very steadily, that's why Mr. Huang trusted me."
“Zhang Hai, do you think that because there are no surveillance cameras on the road and no one saw you, we can't find out? Let me tell you, based on the skid marks, the traffic police can calculate your speed. Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. Now that the victim is in the hospital, if you don't tell the truth, your crime will be compounded, and you might even go to jail.”
Zhang Hai was terrified at the thought of going to jail. He couldn't go to jail; who would support his wife and children if he did?
"Officer, I was driving a little faster than usual, but it's really not my fault. It was that tricycle that suddenly appeared."
"Zhang Hai, let me tell you, life is always the most important thing. You hit someone and tried to run away, which is a crime. If the victim dies, that's murder. Remember that. Life can't be measured by money."
"Officer, I was wrong, I was wrong. I'm willing to compensate, I'm willing to compensate. As soon as I get out, I'll go see the victim and beg for her forgiveness. Please, government, give me a chance to reform."
Zhang Hai was truly terrified. If he hadn't been stopped and had actually left, and the victim had died, he couldn't imagine what he would have faced.
Qi Tongwei thought Zhang Hai's attitude was alright. If it were someone like Zhang Hai, who was a deadbeat who refused to admit his mistakes, he would have slapped him a few times.
After interrogating the driver, Qi Tongwei immediately went to interrogate the wealthy woman, removing the rag from her mouth; it was indeed a bit dirty.
The lady kept spitting, as if her mouth was stuffed with feces.
This is a disgrace, a terrible disgrace, and she will never let it go.
"You little bastard, you just wait! I'm going to sue you! I'm going to sue you! I'm going to send you to jail!"
Qi Tongwei laughed, "You old hag, what's your husband's name? I'll call him and have him come pick you up."
The woman was so angry at being called an "old hag" that she felt terrible all over.
"You little bastard, my husband's name is Cai Xilian, his phone number is... I'm not finished with you!"
"You old hag, do you always win money when you play mahjong?"
"What's it to you? Your salary as a lowly policeman isn't even enough for me to win a single game."
Qi Tongwei laughed heartily, "You old hag, you're really lucky. I bet someone bribed your husband."
The lady immediately panicked; she realized she had said the wrong thing.
"You little bastard, don't talk nonsense. So what if I had good luck?"
"I suspect that the customs chief might have a large amount of cash hidden at home, along with gold bars, US dollars, euros, and the like."
The lady was startled; the boy had guessed everything correctly, and she felt a chill run down her spine.
"You little bastard, you're talking nonsense! I'm going to sue you! I'm going to sue you for defamation!"
The policewoman also noticed the lady's unusual behavior. It seems Qi Tongwei guessed correctly; such a simple sentence exposed a big corrupt official. How amazing.
Qi Tongwei had a good idea of what was going on and told Han Weiping his guess. Han Weiping suggested that they should not make any moves that might alert the enemy, and that they should not take action against the deputy director of customs without solid evidence.
Shortly afterward, Cai Xilian, the deputy director of customs, rushed to the police station.
