Chapter 42: Maintaining Subordinates
"Captain Li, I'm sorry, Captain Shang has ordered that no one is allowed to visit Zhang Yongfei." Qi Tongwei and others were stopped by police officers from the Public Security Brigade.
"Lei Wu, this is our Captain Qi, don't be ignorant of your own limitations." Li Yanran warned Lei Wu, not wanting him to offend Qi Tongwei.
"This..." Lei Wu didn't know what to do. This was another person he couldn't afford to offend.
"Get out of the way." Qi Tongwei's face was as gloomy as water. Without waiting for Lei Wu to answer, he directly pushed away the two security police guarding the door of the ward.
How could the several public security police officers dare to stop the criminal police captain? They could only watch Qi Tongwei helplessly.
Before entering the door, Qi Tongwei turned around and said, "You must live up to the police uniforms you wear and live up to your conscience.
If you let Zhang Yongfei die today without rescuing him, there is no guarantee that someone will not let you die tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned around and pushed open the door of the ward. Several people in the room looked towards the door tacitly.
"Who are you?" The speaker was Zhang Yongfei's father, Lao Zhang, who looked depressed.
"Dad, this is our team leader." Zhang Yongfei said as he struggled to sit up.
"Uncle, just lie still and don't move. What did the doctor say?" Qi Tongwei looked at Lao Zhang.
"Soft tissue contusions all over the body, moderate concussion, and a broken right arm!" Lao Zhang said angrily.
"Leader, my child is innocent. They beat people and want my child to go to jail. You must save my child." Zhang Yongfei's mother said crying.
Qi Tongwei comforted her, "Auntie, don't worry, we will eventually find out the truth."
Then he looked at Zhang Yongfei, "What exactly happened? Tell me what happened again."
Zhang Yongfei then recounted the whole story.
It turned out that he, Huang Xingyao and Li Yumei were all high school classmates.
He and Li Yumei were admitted to the Handong Provincial Police College at the same time. Huang Xingyao did not perform well and went to an ordinary junior college.
He and Li Yumei became a couple in college. After graduation, they were assigned to the Dabeihu County Public Security Bureau at the same time. Just when they were about to get married, an accident happened.
At a class reunion, Huang Xingyao set his sights on Li Yumei.
Relying on his father's power and money, Huang Xingyao quickly conquered Li Yumei.
The day before yesterday, when Zhang Yongfei went to buy decoration materials for the new house, he saw Huang Xingyao holding Li Yumei's waist and entering the Xiangna Dance Hall.
He then followed them into the dance hall, and before he could question the two people, he was beaten up by the security guards called by Huang Xingyao. The other party even performed a live sex show in front of him.
Afterwards, he called 110 to report the incident, but unexpectedly, he ended up being the one causing trouble.
After listening to this, Qi Tongwei pondered for a moment and said, "Are there any other eyewitnesses to this incident?"
“Yes, but the sun had just set at that time, so there weren’t many people in the dance hall.
Most of them are prostitutes and security guards in the dance hall. It is impossible for them to stand up and testify for me." Zhang Yongfei shook his head helplessly.
Qi Tongwei thought to himself, it would be good to have a witness.
Then he looked at Zhang Yongfei's family with a firm gaze and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to give Zhang Yongfei justice."
"Comrade Yanran, make a statement with Zhang Yongfei." He had made up his mind. He would take care of this matter, just as a memorial to his past self.
After the record was completed, Qi Tongwei said to Zhang Yongfei's family: "Uncle, aunt, this is 3000 yuan, you can use it to pay for Zhang Yongfei's medical treatment. I will take care of the case, so don't worry."
"Leader, this..." Lao Zhang looked at Zhang Yongfei, not knowing whether he should continue.
"Uncle, just take it. Return it to me when you have money in the future." Qi Tongwei forced it into Lao Zhang's pocket.
"Leader, thank you so much. You are simply the reincarnation of Justice Bao." Zhang Yongfei's mother expressed her gratitude again and again.
After comforting a few people, Qi Tongwei led his people out of the ward.
“Your name is Lei Wu!
I want to know who handled the police case?
Did the security guard who beat Zhang Yongfei have a conversation? Why was he let go?
Who took the transcript?" Qi Tongwei stared into Lei Wu's eyes.
"Captain Qi, I... I don't know either." Lei Wu didn't say it in the end.
"I hope you will think about it carefully. A deputy county magistrate cannot cover everything with one hand. After you have considered it, contact Comrade Li Yanran." Qi Tongwei said calmly.
He just wanted to give Lei Wu an illusion that the deputy county magistrate was just a small official in his eyes, so as to dispel his concerns.
At the same time, it is through him that the news is passed on to other public security police officers who do not want to go along with the corrupt practices.
Lei Wu stared at Qi Tongwei leaving the hospital, not knowing what to do.
"Brother Wu, what should we do?" Policeman Ma Hao asked in a low voice.
Lei Wu thought about it, but finally didn't dare to take this step, "Let's just pretend nothing happened and continue to stay here."
After Qi Tongwei returned to the Public Security Bureau, he immediately went to report to Director Liu Xiaoshun. He wanted to compete with the Public Security Brigade for the right to handle this case.
After listening to Qi Tongwei's report, Liu Xiaoshun looked serious. He never expected to encounter such a thing.
"Tongwei, are you serious?" Liu Xiaoshun held a glimmer of hope, hoping that this was a joke from Qi Tongwei.
"Director Liu, I dare not lie to you about this matter. If Zhang Yongfei was just beaten up, I wouldn't say anything. I just accepted the loss.
But now they want him to go to jail. If we ignore Zhang Yongfei now, once he is really jailed, we will lose the support of the people, and then the Dabeihu County Public Security Bureau will be useless." What Qi Tongwei said was by no means alarmist.
How could Liu Xiaoshun not understand the seriousness of the problem? If he really sat back and watched Zhang Yongfei get into trouble, he would lose the support of the people and would never be able to lead the Dabeihu County Public Security Bureau again.
Once this matter gets out, even the Municipal Bureau may cause trouble for him, and it is unclear whether he can continue to stay in the police system.
He believed that Qi Tongwei would not dare to deceive him about such a thing, and that was why he became even more angry. This was a disregard and even contempt for himself.
“If we can’t even protect our own brothers, let alone the masses, this matter must be seriously investigated, no matter who is involved.
I now authorize you to handle this case with full authority. If you encounter anyone within the Public Security Bureau obstructing the investigation, you can submit a report to me for review and all work will be suspended.
If you encounter external situations, you will know what to do even if I don’t tell you. Just deal with it as it should be dealt with. I will never tolerate evil.”
"Yes! I guarantee to complete the task." Qi Tongwei saluted.
Liu Xiaoshun's reaction was basically consistent with his guess. He would never watch Zhang Yongfei go to jail. If such a thing really happened, it would have the greatest impact on him.
After getting Liu Xiaoshun's support, Qi Tongwei was completely relieved. In fact, it was not difficult to collect evidence in this case. What was rare was that someone dared to show his sword and face the Huang family directly.
Qi Tongwei has been a man for two lifetimes. He has the support of Handong University of Political Science and Law, and will have the support of the Pei family and Gao Yuliang in the future. The small Huang family cannot scare him.
Furthermore, standing up this time has extraordinary political significance.
As long as he stands up this time, all grassroots police officers in Handong and even the entire Chinese police force who know about this incident will remember him well.
