Chapter 80 A sudden whim
"Director Liu, I suggest a surprise arrest of Li Xueyan and Li Xuefeng, brother and sister. With the existing clues, they can be convicted." Zhao Buyuan was the first to put forward his suggestion.
The other detectives also nodded in agreement. They all believed that the existing evidence was sufficient to convict the two.
"Director Tongwei, what's your opinion?" Liu Xiaoshun looked at Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei put down the pen in his hand, frowned and said: "I don't think it's appropriate. It's not the right time to arrest the Li brothers and sisters. We don't have enough evidence yet."
"Deputy Director Qi, it was Li Xuefeng who took the money, so why can't he be convicted?" Zhao Buyuan asked puzzledly.
"Suppose Li Xuefeng said that he lost the 10 yuan to Huang Qi, what would you do?
Now that Huang Qi is dead and there is no evidence, Li Xuefeng can make up any reason he wants, but this is not enough to convict him." Qi Tongwei rejected Zhao Buyuan's suggestion.
If they were ordinary people, the existing evidence would allow them to be arrested and interrogated suddenly.
The public security means can also ensure that he confesses, and with the existing evidence, the chain of evidence has been complete, and this case can be completely closed.
But Li Xuefeng is not an ordinary person. He is the owner of Yunding Tianque KTV, a big boss who is well connected in both the black and white worlds, and Gao Renfei is backing him up behind the scenes.
No special means can be used against him, and there is no way to convict him based on the existing evidence.
Besides, their target was not the Li brothers and sisters, but Gao Renfei who was behind them.
When it comes to Gao Renfei, the investigation and interrogation cannot be initiated unless there is solid evidence.
This is the right. Although everyone is equal before the law, the environment and people who enforce the law are not equal.
This is also the reason why Qi Tongwei still chose to enter the officialdom after his rebirth.
Money is a good thing, but sometimes it can also be a deadly poison, but power is different.
"Tongwei, then tell me what we should do now?" Liu Xiaoshun asked.
He understood Qi Tongwei's reasons and subtext.
"Continue to send people to keep an eye on Li Xueyan, and at the same time arrange for people to keep an eye on Vice Mayor Gao Renfei.
If we know where he goes and who he meets every day, we don't need to keep an eye on him at work." Qi Tongwei had no good solution for the time being.
As for this deputy mayor, he only knew that he eventually became the director of the provincial library, but he didn't know anything else.
He had no idea whether he was involved in corruption or whether his children had gone abroad.
At present, we can only rely on stupid methods and obtain enough intelligence before taking action. Any reckless action will only alert the enemy and become a scapegoat.
Liu Xiaoshun didn't have a good solution, but he thought of his father-in-law Zhang Cheng. He might have some clues.
"Tongwei, I leave this to you. I'll go visit my father-in-law and see if he has any clues." Liu Xiaoshun was determined to get promoted to deputy director of the Municipal Bureau.
After Liu Xiaoshun left, Qi Tongwei arranged for Zhang Jingrui to bring people to keep an eye on Li Xueyan, while he and Zhao Buyuan kept an eye on Gao Renfei.
In order to avoid being discovered by Gao Renfei, Qi Tongwei adopted a strategy of keeping an eye on him from a distance, with the sole purpose of confirming which community or place Gao Renfei had gone to.
As for the specific address, it can be determined through multiple surveillance.
It has already entered the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is only half a month away. Gao Renfei is very busy during this period, either visiting this unit to express condolences or inspecting that unit.
If he didn't know his situation, Qi Tongwei would have thought he was monitoring a moral model.
A week passed and no one gained anything.
Director Liu Xiaoshun heard a lot of information from his father-in-law, but it was just hearsay and there was no evidence.
After a week without any results, everyone was getting a little anxious, and it was easy to be exposed if they stayed in the hotel.
To this end, Qi Tongwei directly spent money to buy a second-hand house for everyone to live in temporarily.
In Zhao Buyuan's words, he spent a lot of money on this case.
Opportunities appear unexpectedly.
On the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, Gao Renfei drove to Jingzhou with his driver. Qi Tongwei knew without asking that he was going to seek an official position, so he immediately arranged for Zhao Buyuan to go to Jingzhou.
Qi Tongwei didn't go. He planned to sneak into Gao Renfei's residence to look for other useful clues. He felt that it would not be very useful to just keep watching.
He was in a group with Zhao Buyuan before, and he couldn't find an excuse to leave, so he didn't do it.
After all, doing so is illegal, so he would not let anyone know. As for Gao Renfei's residence, he has already found out about it during this period of time.
He has three main places in Yantai City: one is the Municipal Party Committee’s staff quarters, where his wife and family live;
One is Li Xueyan’s residence, and the last one is at Qingquanshan Lake No. 1 in Yantai City, which is the high-end residential area developed by Li Xuefeng.
Qi Tongwei was going to Qingquanshan Lake No. 1. After continuous exploration over this period of time, they had confirmed Gao Renfei's residence.
After 10 o'clock in the evening, when most people had gone to bed, Qi Tongwei stepped into Qingquanshanhu No. 9 Community and went straight to the th floor where Gao Renfei was.
It is said that this person is extremely superstitious and lives on the 9th floor because its name contains the number 9, which means the supreme ruler.
Using the skills he learned as a police officer in his previous life, Qi Tongwei easily opened Gao Renfei's door.
However, before opening the door, he did not go in directly, but turned on the flashlight and observed carefully, and found a hair wrapped around the handle. From this, it can be seen that there must be something wrong with Gao Renfei.
He slowly untied his hair and put it back together when he left.
Qi Tongwei was very careful and would observe before going anywhere, because who knew if she would continue to put hair and other items there.
Qi Tongwei walked through every corner of the room and found nothing suspicious. This was a place to rest.
"Is Gao Renfei's only problem a gender?" Qi Tongwei muttered to himself.
Qi Tongwei simply couldn't believe that Gao Renfei was an honest person, but he didn't find anything suspicious.
He even thought of the dark room and touched almost every inch of it, but still found nothing.
After restoring the house to its original state, Qi Tongwei prepared to leave reluctantly.
He moved very carefully for fear of being discovered by his neighbors.
After locking the door, he took out his hair and slowly wrapped it around his head as it was before, then prepared to leave.
The moment he turned around, he suddenly thought of a question: who would be Gao Renfei's neighbor? However, this thought flashed through his mind and he didn't care.
After leaving Qingquanshan Lake No. 1, Qi Tongwei fell into deep thought.
The current case has reached a difficult point. If there is no breakthrough, it may reach a dead end and we can only take the risk of interrogating Li Xueyan and her siblings.
Qi Tongwei also said that doing so would only alert the enemy and would most likely fail, so it was a last resort.
When he was about to get in the car, Qi Tongwei looked at the place where Gao Renfei lived with reluctance. Because no one lived there, the curtains were not drawn.
Curtains. When thinking of curtains, Qi Tongwei was suddenly stunned.
If he remembered correctly, all the buildings above, below, left and right of Gao Renfei's house had curtains hung day and night, and the color seemed to be the same.
Qi Tongwei's eyes lit up, and he guessed a possibility, that is, these houses were not occupied at all, and were all used by Gao Renfei.
This thought is becoming stronger and stronger!
He thought this was the answer!
