Chapter 291 Two More Lives
Qi Tongwei rushed over. In front of the tombstone was a bunch of yellow chrysanthemums and a bloodstained knife. This was the murder weapon Zhang Jian used to kill his wife. He wanted to prove to his wife that he had avenged her.
The tombstone bears the name Huang Ju, born in 1970 and died in 1992. At the young age of 22, it is a poignant loss.
Qi Tongwei immediately called Chen Shunjun, "Chief Chen, the murder weapon was found in front of Zhang Jian's wife's tombstone. He might be hiding in Dongshan. Have the armed police start searching the mountain immediately."
"Yes, Qizhi."
The armed police quickly launched a grid search of the mountains. Qi Tongwei followed a small path up the mountain, pursuing Zhang Jian all the way. He felt that Zhang Jian was in the mountains.
The eastern mountains stretch for miles, and if you take an undeveloped path, you can easily get lost in the jungle. Of course, this is also difficult for Zhang Jian, as humans are always so insignificant compared to nature.
Qi Tongwei climbed to the top of the mountain, and only three or four people followed him. He looked around with binoculars, realizing that hiding someone in the dense Dongshan Mountain would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Lan Ying was panting. She had witnessed Qi Tongwei's terrifying strength firsthand. This man's physical strength was terrifying.
"Qi Zhi, it will be dark in an hour. It's dangerous to search for someone at night."
"You few stay on the mountain, Lan Ying, come down with me."
"Yes, Qizhi."
They ran down the mountain at breakneck speed, gritting their teeth. This Qi Tongwei had absolutely no sense of chivalry.
"Team leader, did the armed police brothers bring any rations?"
Zhan Ying truthfully replied, "I brought a pack of compressed biscuits and two bottles of water. That should be enough to get through the night, but the mountains are high and the forests are dense, so searching at night will amplify all sorts of dangers."
Qi Tongwei thought for a moment, and realized that while he was catching a murderer, he couldn't ignore the safety of his soldiers.
"Captain, how about this: let the soldiers rest where they are after dark. They're going to have a tough night."
"Alright, Qi Zhi, we soldiers aren't afraid of hardship."
Qi Tongwei saluted, "Thank you for your support, team captain."
The fighter jet immediately returned the salute, signifying, "I will obey orders without question."
After making the arrangements, Qi Tongwei called Li Jitao to report the situation.
"I basically agree with your plan, but you must make sure to guard all the exits down the mountain."
"Yes, sir."
We set up a temporary command post at the foot of Dongshan Mountain. As darkness fell, thankfully, the cold weather in eastern Guangdong would only last for a month at most. The night sky was dotted with stars, and it looked like tomorrow would be a clear and sunny day.
Armed police officers took turns resting in the dense forest, their young faces radiating confidence and fearlessness. They were all in high spirits and ready to charge forward at any time to defend their country.
Qi Tongwei sat in the car resting, smoking and thinking that Zhang Jian did not die in front of his wife's grave, not because he was afraid of death, but probably because he still wanted Chen Dali's life.
At five o'clock in the morning, before dawn, Chen Shunjun rushed over and knocked on the car window. Qi Tongwei was startled awake and quickly opened the car door.
"What's wrong, Chen Zhi?"
Chen Shunjun looked unwell and anxious.
"Chief Qi, I just received news that something has happened at Chenjia Village."
"Take your time and tell me."
Chen Shunjun clenched his fists, furious. "Chen Dali's wife and children were murdered. His two sons died on the spot, and his wife is still in the hospital being treated."
Two more lives lost, two children no less. It's too cruel. Qi Tongwei suddenly realized that Zhang Jian might have accomplices who deliberately lured the police to Dongshan to distract them from their own territory.
"Chief Chen, take your men to the crime scene first, I'll be there shortly."
"Good, Qi Zhi, this Zhang Jian is utterly depraved."
Chen Shunjun remembered Chen Dali's two sons, who were still innocent and lively at that age. How could he bring himself to do it?
Qi Tongwei immediately called Li Jitao. When Li Jitao got out of bed and heard about it, he felt like he had been struck by lightning. This matter was getting bigger and bigger, and it was impossible to suppress it.
"I don't care whether it was Zhang Jian or his accomplices. Tell the armed police to speed up the search. They must search Dongshan thoroughly today, leaving no corner unchecked. Go to the crime scene immediately."
"Yes, sir."
Qi Tongwei spoke with Zhan Ying for a while, and after making the arrangements, he immediately left with his men.
"Lan Ying, call Wu Dali right away and tell him to move Zhang Jian's parents to a safe house, in case Chen Dali goes crazy and retaliates."
"Yes, Qizhi."
When will this cycle of revenge end? Lan Ying felt deep sympathy for the two children who had died tragically.
Qi Tongwei sped all the way to Chenjiazhai, where the city's criminal investigation team had also arrived, and his colleagues from the forensic department were searching for evidence at the scene.
The people of Chenjia Village were hostile to Qi Tongwei, but he didn't care. The house was covered in blood, and the child was pitiful and in a terrible state.
"Chief Chen, do you have any leads?"
Chen Shunjun's eyes were bloodshot, partly from staying up all night and partly from heartache. "According to an eyewitness, he saw a man dressed in black wearing a mask, but he couldn't see his face clearly."
Qi Tongwei asked doubtfully, "How does his physique compare to Zhang Jian's?"
"They look very similar, agile, and very thin."
"Then bring the witness back to the provincial department later, and I'll try to draw a portrait."
"it is good"
Chen Zhihu walked over with a look of disdain and said provocatively:
"Qi Tongwei, you bear the primary responsibility for this. Zhang Jian committed murder in revenge, and you, you son of a bitch, didn't even send anyone to protect Chen Dali's family."
Qi Tongwei laughed angrily, "Chen Zhihu, what do you mean by that? Do you know why Zhang Jian killed someone? Even if I were to send people to protect him, shouldn't I be protecting Chen Daji's wife and children?"
Chen Zhihu was speechless after being confronted. Yes, why would he protect Chen Dali's family? This was just like trying to hide something obvious.
He hurriedly retorted, "Chen Daji and Chen Dali are brothers. Can't you use your brain a little? These two lives were lost because of you."
Qi Tongwei snorted coldly, "Chen Zhihu, you know more than I do. You definitely know better than I who Zhang Jian's next target for revenge is. I hope you'll act like a policeman and not let this tragedy happen again."
"Qi Tongwei, you're spouting nonsense! I don't even know Zhang Jian, how would I know what he's up to?"
Chen Zhihu panicked, as if Qi Tongwei had stepped on his tail. How could he not know what the Chen brothers, Chen Daji and Chen Dali, had done?
If the arguing continued, it might escalate into a physical fight, so Chen Shunjun immediately stopped them, saying, "Chief Qi, Zhihu, we're all police officers. We should work together to solve the case. Any disagreements can wait until the case is solved."
"Chief Chen, I'm giving you face by not arguing with this bastard."
"Qi Tongwei, do you even know where you're standing? This is Chenjia Village. I can send you packing on your back if I say one word!"
Immediately, a dozen young men glared menacingly at Qi Tongwei. They were willing to risk everything if Chen Zhihu made a single gesture. What was beating a policeman compared to Qi Tongwei, the public enemy of Chenjia Village?
Seeing that things were not going well, Chen Shunjun grabbed Qi Tongwei, "Chief Qi, you should go back to the provincial department first, leave this to me."
Lan Ying also whispered a reminder: "Qi Zhi, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. The people of Chenjia Village are very angry right now. Be careful not to cause a mass incident."
