Chapter 98: He got angry on the first day.
Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Qi Tongwei got out of the taxi, carrying a bag containing a mobile phone, looking like a coal mine owner.
He explained his purpose to the guard, who confirmed it by phone and then let him in.
A young police officer ran over and said, "You must be Qi Tongwei."
Qi Tongwei extended his hand warmly, "Hello, my name is Qi Tongwei, what's your name?"
"Hello, my name is Tian Xiaobing. Come with me. Let's have a fight sometime. You took down more than twenty people by yourself at the Rose Garden Bar, that was impressive."
Tian Xiaobing had just returned from military service; he was quite tanned and very agile.
"Sure, let's have a friendly spar sometime."
Tian Xiaobing led Qi Tongwei to the special task force. "Let me introduce you, this is our Captain Cui."
Qi Tongwei quickly extended his hand, "Hello, Captain Cui, my name is Qi Tongwei, it's nice to meet you."
Cui Yong is the captain of the criminal investigation team. He is in his thirties and has some objections to his superiors' decision to appoint him as an investigator.
"I don't know why your superiors assigned you to the task force, but once you're in my team, you'll follow orders in all actions, understand?"
"Understood, understood."
Qi Tongwei may say he understands, but when it comes to doing things, he often acts recklessly. His colleagues will soon see what a madman he is.
"Tang Guozhong, everyone calls me Old Tang, I'm the oldest in the criminal investigation team, over forty years old."
Qi Tongwei shook hands with a humble expression, "A man is in his prime at forty, and Officer Tang is still in his prime."
Tang Guozhong patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder, "Young man, you're quite good at talking. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me. Don't call me Officer Tang, call me Old Tang, understand?"
"Okay, Old Tang."
Immediately, Executive Deputy Director Han Weiping walked in. The task force was of a very high level. The murder of customs officers was a blatant provocation against the country and must be suppressed with swift and decisive action.
"Everyone, please sit down. This case has had an extremely negative impact. We must catch the murderer as quickly as possible. Captain Cui, what are your thoughts?"
"Director Han, our initial suspicion is that it's related to a smuggling ring. Some time ago, Song Shuguang led a team to seize a batch of smuggled goods, causing the smuggling ring heavy losses. It's highly likely he killed them out of spite."
"Very good, let's investigate in this direction. Qi Tongwei, what are your thoughts?"
Everyone was shocked. Just who was this Qi Tongwei?
"Reporting to Director Han, Song Shuguang is my senior from university. That night, when we were drinking together, he mentioned that there might be a huge smuggling ring operating in Shanghai, so I strongly agree with Captain Cui's opinion."
Everyone was surprised that they were classmates. Shouldn't they have avoided suspicion?
"Alright, comrades, let's get moving! Qi Tongwei, come with me for a moment."
Qi Tongwei followed Han Weiping to his office. "Don't be nervous, have a seat."
"Thank you, Director Han."
Han Weiping sat down, displaying a very approachable demeanor. "We've investigated the Rose Garden Bar incident thoroughly. You bear some responsibility, but not a major one. We'll mediate after this case is closed."
"Thank you, Director Han. I will do my best to handle the case and follow all orders."
Han Weiping laughed, "I've read about your situation in the newspapers. 'Following orders in all actions' is just a load of nonsense."
Qi Tongwei laughed awkwardly. "Reporter Ye really does spill everything."
"Director Han, I'll try my best."
Han Weiping wasn't angry. Old Master Ye had said to let the kid cause some trouble, adding, "I only have one request: you must report everything to me."
"Yes, Director Han, mission accomplished."
Han Weiping took an ID card from the drawer and tossed it to him, saying, "Don't lose it."
Qi Tongwei picked up the ID and saw that it identified him as an investigator from the Special Task Force of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau.
"Thank you, Director Han."
By the time Qi Tongwei left, Cui Yong had already led his team away, leaving only Lao Tang to guard the house.
"Old Tang, where is he?"
"We just received an urgent lead. Captain Cui has taken his men out. Please take a look at the case file."
Qi Tongwei took the case file and said, "Thank you, Old Tang."
The case file contained photos of Song Shuguang's death scene, covered in blood, with numerous bloody holes piercing his body. Qi Tongwei suppressed his grief and carefully examined the photos.
The police investigation revealed two murderers. He suddenly realized that the death scene looked very similar to the death of Lu Peng in Jingzhou, and that there was a man named Qiu behind Lu Peng's case. Could they be the same group of people?
Tang Guozhong could tell at a glance that this guy was a ruthless person; he didn't show any discomfort when he saw the photo of his friend's death.
"By the way, Lao Tang, do we have the case files from Song Shuguang's last arrest of the smuggling gang?"
"No, you'll have to go to the anti-smuggling bureau to see it."
"Let's go there now."
"Two people are needed to handle the case, and one person needs to stay with the special task force. I'll have Tian Xiaobing go with you this afternoon."
"All right"
"Xiao Qi, I advise you not to be impatient. You should trust the capabilities of our criminal investigation team."
"Okay, Old Tang, I'll take another look at the files."
At noon, Cui Yong brought back a man and immediately took him into the interrogation room.
During the meal, Qi Tongwei asked, "Tian Xiaobing, what's going on?"
"We acted on a tip from the public and arrested a wanted criminal, but it has nothing to do with the smuggling case."
Qi Tongwei sighed. "Tian Xiaobing, after dinner, come with me to the anti-smuggling bureau."
What are you going to the anti-smuggling bureau for?
"Check the case file of the last batch of smuggled goods that Song Shuguang arrested."
Tian Xiaobing seemed to understand. "You intellectuals really have brains, unlike me who only knows how to arrest people."
"I'll tell Captain Cui in a bit."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Back in his office, Qi Tongwei immediately submitted a report, "Captain Cui, this afternoon I'd like to go to the Anti-Smuggling Bureau with Tian Xiaobing to check some of the files related to Song Shuguang's arrests of smugglers."
Cui Yong glanced at Qi Tongwei, "You should learn how to handle cases from Old Tang first. I'll send others."
Qi Tongwei smiled ingratiatingly, "Captain Cui, then let me go with you."
"What are you going there for? I told you to learn from Old Tang, don't you understand?"
Suddenly, a tense atmosphere filled the office.
Qi Tongwei gritted his teeth. He really wasn't a troublemaker, but he still tried his best to explain.
"Captain Cui, I just want to go along and take a look, is that alright?"
Cui Yong was furious. He pointed at Qi Tongwei and said, "You're not going anywhere this afternoon. Just stay in your office, understand?"
Qi Tongwei was furious. "You son of a bitch, you're asking for it!"
"If you have a problem with me, just say so. I don't have time to play office politics with you."
Enraged that he dared to talk back, Cui Yong shouted, "Who do you think you are, acting like your father?"
Since things had already turned ugly, Qi Tongwei wasn't worried at all.
"There are so many common expressions across the country, I don't have time to explain them all to you. I'll tell you now, I'm going to the anti-smuggling bureau this afternoon."
Did you get my permission?
Qi Tongwei directly confronted him, saying, "I'll inform you right now."
Cui Yong's face turned green with anger; no one in the criminal investigation team dared to disobey his orders.
"Let's see who dares to go with him."
"You really think you're something special?"
After finishing his sentence, Qi Tongwei turned and left.
Tang Guozhong understood that Cui Yong had a problem and wanted to give Qi Tongwei a hard time, but he didn't expect that the kid couldn't even stand it for a day and immediately lost his temper. He really is a troublemaker.
"Tian Xiaobing, you should go and take a look."
