Chapter 400 Settling Old and New Grudges Together
Qi Tongwei had a slight concern, mainly because the armed police were cost-effective and there was no harm in using them.
"Director Ye, you've misunderstood. The armed police performed exceptionally well during the last reconnaissance of the Xishan mine. Selecting a few armed police officers with reconnaissance backgrounds would definitely make things much easier."
Ye Xingguo thought about it and it seemed to make some sense. "Okay, I'll have the armed police cooperate with you, but you must focus all your energy on drug enforcement and don't worry about anything else."
Qi Tongwei thought to himself, "Wait a minute, I haven't neglected the anti-drug work. I destroyed a Hong Kong drug trafficking gang that was using customs to smuggle drugs and seized a thousand kilograms of drugs. That's quite an achievement, isn't it? Leaders just like to give orders for tasks."
"Yes, Director Ye, I will definitely be at my best."
"Go ahead and do a good job."
"What a load of crap," Qi Tongwei said, but he still had to get on with his work. As soon as he got back to his office, he called Zhan Ying, the captain of the armed police, to discuss it. He decided to postpone the dinner invitation until another opportunity arose.
After discussing it with Zhan Ying, he leisurely smoked a cigarette and waited for the fish to take the bait.
Lan Ying, looking nervous, hurriedly pushed open the door and came in. "Chief Qi, the police from Handong are here. They say they want you to come back and assist with an investigation."
Qi Tongwei couldn't help but laugh, and casually stubbed out his cigarette. "Don't panic, let them in. I have plenty of ways to deal with them."
Lan Ying could tell from the start that Qi Tongwei was up to no good. But the police in Handong were out of their minds, relentlessly targeting a policeman who had made a great contribution for the sake of a robber and murderer responsible for twenty-five deaths. Wasn't this just hurting their own people and pleasing their enemies?
"Yes, Qizhi."
A short while later, Lan Ying led Fang Yonghui, the head of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Handong Provincial Public Security Bureau, and two policemen in. Qi Tongwei pretended to be engrossed in reading documents, acting as if he was extremely busy.
Lan Ying whispered a reminder: "Chief Qi, the comrades from Handong are here."
Qi Tongwei looked up, feigning surprise, and immediately stood up. "Isn't this Captain Fang? Long time no see! What brings you here?"
Fang Yonghui's face was serious. He was mentally prepared to be made difficult by Qi Tongwei. In just a few months, this kid had actually reached the same level as him. Thinking about it, he was still a little jealous.
"Comrade Qi Tongwei, thank you for assisting the police in arresting Gao Jun in Handong. However, Gao Jun is now accusing you of threatening his son's life with torture to extract a confession. Is this true?"
Fang Yonghui's polite and restrained demeanor made the two policemen who accompanied him a little uncomfortable. They still remembered the arduous interrogation of Qi Tongwei at the Handong Provincial Public Security Bureau.
Since Fang Yonghui's attitude was quite good, Qi Tongwei wasn't in a hurry to get angry. If Fang Yonghui had tried to arrest him and take him back for investigation right away, he would have handcuffed Fang Yonghui first, since it's only polite to reciprocate.
"Captain Fang, you've come from afar, so please sit down and talk things over. Gao Jun is a ruthless bandit who kills without blinking an eye; I don't think we need to take his words too seriously."
Fang Yonghui came with a mission, and regardless of whether Qi Tongwei was right or wrong, he would only follow orders.
"Comrade Qi Tongwei, as a veteran police officer, I must remind you that even murderers have the freedom and right to speak, and torture to extract confessions is absolutely unacceptable."
Qi Tongwei leisurely pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. "Captain Fang, want a smoke?"
Fang Yonghui was very unhappy with this indifferent attitude. If this were in Handong, he would have handcuffed Qi Tongwei long ago. But this was Guangdong. He could disregard Qi Tongwei's feelings, but he had to give face to the Guangdong Provincial Department.
"Comrade Qi Tongwei, this is working time, and none of us smoke. Please answer my question."
Qi Tongwei completely disregarded Fang Yonghui's words, casually lighting a cigarette. "Captain Fang, you've come all this way, you're not going to arrest me because of what a robber and murderer said, are you?"
Fang Yonghui's expression changed slightly. "Damn it, you bastard, you're just asking a question you already know the answer to. If I hadn't run away from Handong, why would I have needed to travel thousands of miles?"
"Comrade Qi Tongwei, if Gao Jun's words are true, you will have to come back to Handong with me to accept the investigation."
Qi Tongwei exhaled a puff of smoke and smiled. "Captain Fang, regardless of whether the bandit Gao Jun's words are true or false, I don't have time to go back to Handong with you. You've seen it yourself, I'm very busy."
"Qi Tongwei, you are suspected of using torture to extract confessions. We are not here to discuss this with you."
One of the accompanying police officers couldn't stand it anymore; when had they ever suffered such humiliation?
Qi Tongwei's temper flared up instantly. "I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you're already taking advantage of my kindness!" He smashed his cigarette butt against the policeman.
"Damn it, this isn't your place to speak. Shut your stinking mouth!"
The atmosphere in the office instantly became tense. The policeman who had just been hit by the cigarette butt hurriedly dusted off his clothes and immediately flew into a rage.
"Qi Tongwei, this is assaulting a police officer, that's an even more serious crime!"
Without saying a word, Qi Tongwei kicked out. Fang Yonghui reacted quickly, pulling his subordinate away and trying to block the attack with his own foot. The two feet collided instantly. "He dares to be arrogant on my turf? Then I'll settle all scores, old and new!"
Although Fang Yonghui blocked Qi Tongwei's attack, Qi Tongwei immediately kicked him in the chest, knocking him to the ground. He almost bumped into Lan Ying, but fortunately Lan Ying reacted quickly and dodged it.
"Fuck your mother!"
When the two policemen saw their superior being beaten, they had no reason not to take action, but unfortunately, they were no match for Qi Tongwei. After a couple of rounds, they were knocked to the ground by Qi Tongwei, and now all three of them were dead.
Lan Ying stepped back towards the door, somewhat puzzled. Did the police in Handong not know that Qi Tongwei was a formidable fighter, or did they think that the "Living Yama" wouldn't dare to make a move? It was a joke. Not to mention the police in Handong, even the police in Guangdong could beat the "Living Yama" just the same.
Qi Tongwei cracked his neck and looked down at his three defeated opponents. He felt relieved and satisfied!
"Captain Fang, we're even now. This is eastern Guangdong. I hope you know your place. Even if you're going to be someone else's dog, you need to consider your own strength."
Fang Yonghui endured the pain and stood up. His two subordinates helped each other up. All three of them were furious and gritted their teeth, but they had no choice but to bow their heads when they were under someone else's roof.
"Qi Tongwei, I am here on orders to take you back to Handong for investigation. Your violent resistance to law enforcement will have serious consequences."
Qi Tongwei laughed heartily, "Captain Fang, I advise you to hurry back to Handong. The checks on temporary residence permits in eastern Guangdong are extremely strict. If you don't have a temporary residence permit, I can send you to the detention center immediately."
Upon hearing the word "shelter-in-waiting," Lan Ying almost couldn't help but laugh. Qi Tongwei was really ruthless; even without a temporary residence permit, the police wanted to send him to repair the railway for free for six months.
A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Fang Yonghui didn't expect Qi Tongwei to dare to hit someone. It's very abnormal that no leader has shown up yet, especially since they had informed the leaders of the Guangdong Provincial Department before they came.
Li Jitao received Ye Xingguo's order that he should not get involved in this matter; Qi Tongwei should handle it himself, and everyone should pretend to be oblivious.
Fang Yonghui clenched his fists tightly. It seemed that Qi Tongwei, that bastard, had the tacit approval of his superiors. No wonder he dared to escape from Handong directly. This was going to be a bit tricky. He had to ask for instructions.
"Qi Tongwei, don't be so arrogant. Torture and forced confessions are no small matter. I'll be back."
