Chapter 248 The Truth About the Murder Case Revealed
Qi Tongwei took out three photos and placed them on the table. One of them was of Manager Dong. "Wu Yong, take a look at these three people. Do you recognize them?"
Wu Yong's eyes lit up. Could it be that there was a turning point in his case? He didn't want to go to jail. All these years of hard work and study were for the purpose of getting rid of his peasant identity, becoming a city dweller, and becoming a superior person.
He lied to Bai Jie, but so what? If she loves him, she should support him in achieving greater things, not become a stumbling block for him.
Wu Yong grabbed Manager Dong's photo and stood up excitedly. "Officer, this is the man I've seen before! He killed Bai Jie! He must have killed Bai Jie! I'm innocent! I'm innocent! You must help me!"
“They forced me to say those things. If I didn’t do what they said, they would beat me. I couldn’t take the beatings anymore, so I told them. Please, please, you have to believe me.”
Perhaps it's because of Wu Yong's "scumbag" persona, but Qi Tongwei doesn't seem to sympathize with him, nor is he particularly angry about the criminal police team's illegal actions. It seems he was indeed acting somewhat emotionally.
"Wu Yong, I'll ask you one more time, what exactly did you go to see Bai Jie that day?"
"Officer, I only went because Bai Jie called me. I really didn't have any other purpose."
Wu Yong was still dishonest. That day, he actually went to Bai Jie to borrow money. The stock market was booming, and he wanted to make a fortune to buy a house so that he could have more confidence after marrying his mentor's daughter.
Bai Jie was heartbroken, saying that she would only agree to lend him money if he slept with her. Wu Yong was after money, so what was sleeping with her? Besides, he wouldn't lose out.
After the two had sex, Bai Jie promised to go to the bank to withdraw money for him the next day. After Wu Yong left, Bai Jie was heartbroken and became addicted to drugs. It can be said that Bai Jie's death was related to him.
Qi Tongwei still felt that Wu Yong wasn't telling the truth. "Fine, you'll soon find out whether you're innocent or not."
"Thank you, officer. Thank you, officer."
Wu Yong was so excited that he felt as if the door to freedom was opening for him.
He can't stay in prison; if he does, his life will be over.
After being released from the detention center, Qi Tongwei took Manager Dong's photo to the crime scene and asked the community security guards. One of the guards recognized that Manager Dong had indeed been there that day and that he was wearing a white mask and looked flustered when he left.
The truth was about to be revealed, and all three of them were very happy.
Wu Dali started the car and said excitedly, "Chief Qi, I think the murderers are definitely these two."
"You're so smart!"
Qi Tongwei fastened his seatbelt. What good would it do to catch the murderer? A living, breathing human life was still gone.
Besides, even if the murderer is caught, he won't be sentenced to death.
Lan Ying suppressed a laugh; Qi Tongwei really had a sharp tongue, always finding something to say about everyone.
Wu Dali didn't care; Qi Tongwei was just too capable, and he admired those who were better than him.
"Chief Qi, shall we arrest them now?"
Qi Tongwei yawned. The nightclub murder case was finally about to be settled. "Back to the provincial headquarters to get the arrest warrant."
"Yes, Qizhi."
Wu Dali stepped on the gas and sped off, driving at breakneck speed. He was especially happy to have cleaned up a scumbag from society.
Lan Ying said worriedly, "Chief Qi, the nightclub case has already reached the procuratorate. I'm afraid the procuratorate won't allow anyone to easily overturn Wu Yong's current testimony."
Qi Tongwei understood that he had offended the procuratorate last time, and they were definitely holding a grudge. If they wanted to overturn the case, it would be extremely difficult.
"We'll talk about it after we've interrogated Manager Dong. If it's a wrongful conviction, even if I really dislike Wu Yong, I'll clear his name."
Lan Ying was actually worried that Qi Tongwei would act on emotion and not handle the case fairly and impartially. Wu Yong had been manipulated by the criminal police team, so his confessions were essentially illegal.
Hearing this, she felt relieved. As a police officer, the most important thing is to restore the facts and the truth, not to arbitrarily decide the life or death of others based on personal preferences.
Back at the provincial department, Qi Tongwei went to Li Jitao's office to apply for an arrest warrant.
Li Jitao was surprised, "Didn't the municipal bureau send the nightclub cases to the procuratorate for prosecution?"
"Boss, the criminal investigation team is in a hurry to close the case and has used methods on the suspect. When I raided the underground casino yesterday, I found crucial evidence, and the truth will be revealed soon."
Li Jitao was in a dilemma. What was going on? Ever since Qi Tongwei arrived, the conflict between the provincial department and the municipal bureau had only deepened.
He actually only wanted to focus on investigating drug cases, and return the rest to the municipal bureau, which would be better for both sides.
Last night they raided another underground casino. It seems I'm also drawn into the power struggle; I have no choice in the matter.
He sighed and signed the arrest warrant.
"Don't do what you did last time. Arresting people is one thing, but going out to fight is another."
Qi Tongwei took the arrest warrant, immediately saluted, and said, "Yes, sir."
"go"
Li Jitao waved his hand, wondering what Director Ye was up to. Could it really be as that kid said, to wipe out Chenjia Village?
The power struggles among provincial leaders mean you could easily become cannon fodder one day; even self-preservation is difficult.
After obtaining the arrest warrant, Qi Tongwei took Lan Ying, Wu Dali, and four police officers with him. It wasn't necessary to have so many people; it was just the rule for arresting suspects.
Golden Phoenix Nightclub.
When the receptionist saw the police enter, led by Qi Tongwei, she was immediately terrified and at a loss for what to do.
Qi Tongwei flashed his badge. "Police officer, has your Manager Dong come to work?"
The receptionist nodded nervously, "Coming, coming, in the manager's office on the second floor."
"You two stay in the lobby and keep watch."
"Yes, Qizhi."
Leaving two policemen behind, Qi Tongwei led his men up the stairs to the second floor quickly. It wasn't dark yet, so there were very few people there, and most of the prostitutes hadn't started work yet.
Suddenly, the door of a private room opened, and Hua Mudan walked out, her mouth agape, utterly astonished.
"Officer Qi"
"Follow the mission, don't come out."
Qi Tongwei quickly walked towards Manager Dong's office.
Hua Mudan was on the day shift today because a major client had specifically requested her to accompany the client, so she followed along out of curiosity.
Qi Tongwei pushed the door open, and Manager Dong, who was sitting in the boss's chair, was startled.
"Officer, is there something you need?"
Qi Tongwei produced an arrest warrant, saying, "Dong Xiang, you are suspected of murdering Bai Jie. You are hereby arrested in accordance with the law."
Suddenly, Manager Dong felt as if his body had been hollowed out. He slumped weakly in his chair, his face ashen. What was bound to happen had finally arrived.
No, he couldn't just accept his fate. Bai Jie's boyfriend, Wu Yong, had already been convicted by the criminal investigation team. He couldn't panic; he had to stay calm. As long as he insisted on not confessing, even if the police found the watch, they couldn't prove that he did it.
He lost a lot of money at the casino and borrowed money from loan sharks. He also swindled a lot of money from prostitutes under the guise of arranging big clients, but he still couldn't fill the hole.
The more you lose, the more you borrow. If you lose today, you think you can win it back tomorrow. This cycle repeats itself, and you sink deeper and deeper until you can only devour yourself.
The loan sharks were really pressing him hard, so that day he had no choice but to go to Bai Jie to borrow money. Bai Jie had taken a lot of drugs and was completely delirious when she opened the door for him.
Bai Jie was only wearing a transparent nightgown, her long, snow-white legs were captivating. Manager Dong could not control his desires and during the rape, Bai Jie struggled desperately. Due to the effects of the drugs, she suddenly suffered cardiac arrest and died.
The crime scene that followed was deliberately staged by him, and it was done flawlessly. Unexpectedly, Liu Bing stole the watch.
The net of Heaven is vast, its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it; Heaven is watching what people do.
The truth behind Bai Jie's death is heartbreaking.
