Chapter 162 Opportunities Brought by Xu Lei's Death
After the party, Qi Tongwei returned to his original work state, focusing all his attention on Xu Jiang and others.
At the same time, the two brothers Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu were cursing their mothers in anger in the house.
"Fuck him, why are we so unlucky? We just dealt with the Public Security Bureau, and now we have to deal with the investigation of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Which bastard is trying to pick on us and actually report us to the Anti-Corruption Bureau?" Tang Xiaohu shouted angrily.
"I found out that because the police couldn't deal with us, they handed the clues over to the Anti-Corruption Bureau in the name of corruption." Tang Xiaolong said depressedly.
The market management was afraid of being implicated, so they fired the two people directly. However, they were afraid that the two people would talk nonsense, so they gave them 10,000 yuan in severance pay.
Although the position of market manager is not of high rank and is not even considered a formal cadre, it is a position of great power and is in charge of the allocation of hundreds of stalls, making a lot of money.
Now because of this clue, the administrator's identity has also been exposed.
In order to cope with the investigation by the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the market management office also announced a new lease renewal method, under which the original stall owner has priority to renew the lease unless he explicitly waives it.
All the stalls that the Tang brothers agreed to sell in exchange for bribes were invalidated. They had to find a way to return the money and gifts to the gift givers. If they did not return them or delayed returning them, and if these people reported them to the Anti-Corruption Bureau, they would have to spend several years in prison, if not life imprisonment.
"Brother, what do you think we should do?"
Tang Xiaolong said gloomily, "Let's deal with the current difficulties first. The management office is afraid that we will have already found a good relationship when we go in.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau is only targeting the matter reported by the Public Security Bureau, which means that the only problem between us is that we demanded a bribe from Gao Qiqiang for an ordinary color TV, which does not meet the standards for filing a case.
The most important thing now is to find a way to return all the gifts we received, otherwise you and I will probably end up in jail."
"This... We only have 10,000 yuan in severance pay from the management office. We have spent all the rest of the money. What should we do?" The two of them had already lost their money in Bai Jiangbo's casino.
"I heard that Bai Jiangbo is paying someone to collect debts, and the fee is not low. How about we give it a try?" Tang Xiaolong said uncertainly.
"Just give it a try. This is the only way right now."
After the two brothers had discussed it, they each went to Bai Jiangbo's casino with a dagger in their hands, found the casino manager and took over the task of collecting debts.
The casino manager told them to find a man named Xu Lei to collect the debt. Even if they couldn't get the money, they could just give him a lesson and give them 30,000 yuan afterwards.
The Tang brothers were in urgent need of money at the time, so they agreed without thinking.
The two men soon found out that Xu Lei was fishing on the river beach, so they drove a small truck carrying vegetables to the destination. After arriving at the place, the two brothers parked the vehicle not far from the river beach, and then took their tools and walked towards Xu Lei on the river beach.
There were two young men on the riverbank, both around 20 years old. One of them was tall and strong, it was Xu Lei. He was wearing a leather jacket and walking into the river with an electric fish trap.
The Tang brothers walked to the riverbank and greeted the two men: "Hey! Electric fishermen!"
Xu Lei was startled when he heard the shouting. When he saw the Tang brothers, he casually asked, "Which unit are you two from?"
"We don't have any units!"
"Fuck, why are you two greeting each other randomly? Don't you know that scaring others can kill you?
All right, just pretend you haven't been here today, I'll give you each 100 yuan to buy cigarettes later." Without waiting for the two to speak, Xu Lei walked towards the river again.
"Hello, are you Xu Lei?"
"What do you want from me?" Xu Lei said without turning his head.
"You owe a debt and don't pay it back. Someone asked me to collect the money from you!" Tang Xiaolong said calmly. He was confident in his and his brother's skills and believed that they could beat the two men in the river.
"Fuck you guys, are you annoying? Don't you know I hate flies like you? I'm in a good mood today and don't want to do anything. If you don't leave, be careful I'll beat you up so hard that even your mother won't recognize you."
Tang Xiaohu yelled, "Fuck you! Who are you trying to scare? Do you really think your grandfather was brought up in fear?"
Who is Xu Lei? He is Xu Jiang’s only son. He has never been scolded in his life. He immediately cursed, “Stay still and wait for me to come up and deal with you.”
Xu Lei was in a hurry to get ashore, but his foot slipped and he fell into the water, where he was immediately stunned by the electric fish device.
The Tang brothers on the shore were startled and didn't know what was going on. Xu Lei's friend was also scared. When he reached out to pull Xu Lei, he was accidentally shocked by the electric fishing device.
Just a moment later, several dead fish floated up around the two men.
“Brother, this…”
Tang Xiaolong glanced at the generator not far away, guessing something in his mind, and whispered, "Let's go, remember, neither of us has been here today."
Tang Xiaohu nodded heavily. The two brothers ignored the two people in the water and did not move the generator.
……
In the Public Security Bureau, Qi Tongwei was studying the information sent by Zhang Qiang and Liu Hu when he suddenly received a report that the bodies of two young men were found in the shallows downstream of a rural river.
Qi Tongwei immediately rushed to the scene with the criminal investigation team and forensic doctors to investigate.
When Qi Tongwei and others arrived, the police from the local police station had already set up a cordon and the riverside was surrounded by people.
The forensic doctor immediately conducted a preliminary examination of the body and soon found the answer.
"Director Qi, the preliminary judgment is that both of them died of shock caused by electric shock, and then drowned. The ID cards were found on the deceased. One is named Xu Lei and the other is named Yan Jin."
Before Qi Tongwei could give orders, there was a sudden chaos outside the cordon. A fat man rushed inside crying. Qi Tongwei had seen his photo and it was Xu Jiang.
Xu Jiang burst into tears: "Son! Xiao Lei!"
"Xu Lei, Xu Jiang? This is too much of a coincidence!" Qi Tongwei couldn't believe it.
Outside the cordon, Xu Jiang squeezed in with the help of his younger brothers, then rushed towards the corpse while shouting. Qi Tongwei signaled Li Xiang and others to stop him.
"We are investigating the scene, and please cooperate with our work." Li Xiang said sincerely.
Xu Jiang was already crying like a tearful man, with snot and tears all running down his face. He choked up and said, "I just want to see my son, just one look..."
Qi Tongwei understood Xu Jiang's feelings and walked up to explain, "People have been soaking in the water for a whole day, and it rained heavily last night. I think it's better for you not to watch."
"How did my son die?" Xu Jiang looked vicious.
"We cannot determine the cause at this moment. We are investigating," Li Xiang continued.
"Then why don't you go quickly? If my son was killed by someone, I will never let that bastard go!" Xu Jiang almost shouted, which shows how much of a blow Xu Lei's death was to him.
After Xu Jiang left, another policeman came to report.
"Chief Qi, this is not the primary scene of death. The scene of death is about one kilometer upstream. A generator and an electric fish-electromagnet were found there. We also found footprints of two other people at the scene. We cannot determine whether the death of the deceased was an accident or not."
Cao Chuang, the head of the criminal investigation team, said: "Because of the rain, all the fingerprints have been destroyed, making it difficult to investigate clearly."
"Two more people?" Qi Tongwei suddenly had an idea.
