Chapter 35: The Thief's Sequel
Chapter 35: The Thief's Sequel
As soon as the three days were up, Qi Tongwei immediately took leave and came to Yufeng Shoes.
In the dim corner of the warehouse, Qi Tongwei carefully examined the little thieves who were kneeling in a row and tied up tightly. Their faces were bruised and swollen, and it seemed that they had been beaten up.
"Brother, these people are the same gang of thieves from last year, take a look."
Qi Tongwei felt a little regretful. He didn't expect that he just asked Luo Long to find out some information, but he ended up arresting the man in front of him, a student of Political Science and Law.
This is definitely illegal detention.
Qi Tongwei examined everyone with gritted teeth, but did not find anyone who met the requirements.
"Boss Luo, please let them go. There is no one here that I am looking for."
"Release him? Brother, they haven't been interrogated yet. I think they must have other people." Luo Long reminded.
The conversation between the two gave the thief boss who was kneeling in front hope, and he immediately jumped out and spoke.
"No, no, no, Brother Long, and this big brother, it really wasn't us who did this."
"Whether you did it or not, you'll remember it after a few more beatings." Luo Long waved his hand, and the security guard in his hand was about to step forward with a stick and use the great memory recovery technique.
"Have mercy! Big brother! You have to believe me, it really wasn't us who did it." The sticks that were getting closer and closer made the thief leader terrified to the extreme.
A smell of urine wafted in the air.
"and many more."
Qi Tongwei covered his mouth and nose and stepped forward, looking directly into the eyes of the thief boss, "How can you prove that it's not you?"
The thief leader was a little overwhelmed. "Brother, all our people are here. If it's not here, then it really wasn't us who did it. But don't worry, brother. We thieves are the most informed. If you lost something, we will definitely find it for you. Give me a month! One month, I promise to find it back."
Qi Tongwei turned his head and looked at Luo Long strangely, "Boss Luo, you didn't tell them what happened?"
"Ah?" Mr. Luo was stunned and looked at his younger brother, "You didn't say it?"
The younger brothers looked at each other and shook their heads.
Qi Tongwei asked helplessly: "Was it you who smashed the hot pot restaurant on University Road a few days ago?"
"Ah? Smashing the store?"
No matter how stupid the thief boss was, he knew that he might have been affected by the disaster. He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, look at us. We are all small and weak. We can only do things with our hands. How dare we smash your store?"
Qi Tongwei shook his head. "Besides you, I can't think of anyone else who has a grudge against me."
"Brother, we have never met before, so where does the hatred come from..."
"What, you don't recognize me? Last year I sent one of your guys to prison for more than ten years, have you forgotten so quickly?"
"Ah? No, big brother, isn't that matter over? I've lost seven or eight of my brothers, and you're still not calmed down!"
"What do you mean? Don't you want to take revenge?" Qi Tongwei was a little confused.
"To be honest, we dare not retaliate. We are just bragging. Besides, we can bully ordinary people without power, but we dare not do that to you given your status."
Qi Tongwei sneered: "Do you think I will believe it? It seems that what Mr. Luo said is right. There is not a single truth in your mouth."
Qi Tongwei stood up and Luo Long's brothers immediately surrounded him.
"Hey, hey, hey, big brother, listen to me, we are all former subordinates of Chief Cheng from the University Road Police Station.
We had this idea at the time, but Director Cheng said that there was pressure from higher-ups at Handong University to arrest people, so we shouldn't even think about revenge. In the end, in order to deal with the higher-ups, we lost a lot of our brothers. At the end of last year, Director Cheng was transferred, and we stopped hanging around on University Road.
We really didn’t destroy your store, but if it’s really the case, we will compensate you for your losses, okay?”
Qi Tongwei asked curiously, "How could a thief like you hang out with the police station chief?"
The thief leader stammered and told the truth, "He asked us to steal money in his area, and then split the money 20% to 80%. He guaranteed our safety, and if we accidentally failed, he would let us go later.
We can also provide him with all kinds of information to help him solve the case quickly. It was all thanks to us that he was able to become the deputy director of the branch last year."
After listening to Qi Tongwei, I felt like a new world had opened up to me. He is truly a talented person.
It's true that every chicken has its own way of peeing.
"What's the director's name?"
"His name is Cheng Hao."
I haven't heard of him. It seems he is not a character in the play.
"Okay, I can let you go this time, but I have conditions."
"You say you say."
"Help me check for him. Of course, I won't ask for your help in vain. Also, don't tell anyone about this, including that Director Cheng you mentioned."
Qi Tongwei has no ability to take care of this kind of bullshit now. Besides, what difference does it make to him now? He is not in the mood to report it or anything like that. It will do him no good.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I will find out for you as soon as possible."
After telling the thief leader the information, Qi Tongwei persuaded Luo Long to release them.
"Mr. Luo, thank you for your help. Let them do the rest."
Qi Tongwei was afraid that Luo Long would go too far, and he would have to bear the blame. It would be better to let these petty thieves do it so that he would feel more at ease.
"Of course." How could Luo Long not understand Qi Tongwei's thoughts? This was also the reason why he was eager to clear his name. He patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder and said, "Okay, it's still early today. Let's go out for a drink."
Luo Long also heard what the thief said, and combined with the information he knew, he came to the conclusion that Qi Tongwei did have some connections.
Luo Long didn't care about being a police station chief, but the fact that he could get the school to stand up for Qi Tongwei was a signal.
"No, Mr. Luo, I've been busy lately, and I have to make up for the missed classes these days. How about this, I'll host a banquet for you on another weekend, and I hope you'll honor me."
Luo Long didn't try to persuade him to stay, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll wait."
"Xiao Li, please see Brother Qi off for me."
"it is good."
...
Walking on the road in the quiet factory area, the moonlight cast a layer of silver light on the two of them, and the woman's outline was well-proportioned.
Smelling the perfume on the woman next to him, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but sigh, this woman is really awesome! That fat dragon is really lucky.
"Secretary Li, we've known each other for such a long time, but you still don't know your sister's name."
Secretary Li smiled and said, "My name is not very nice, so it's better not to ask. Just call me sister."
"That won't work. Even if she's my biological sister, I still need to know her name." Qi Tongwei raised his eyebrows.
"You're just being sweet. My parents are not well-educated. The year I was born, the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers near the hospital were blooming, so my parents named me Li Guihua."
Qi Tongwei suppressed his laughter and said, "Your father is indeed..."
"So, this name is not nice. Oh, brother, you are a cultured person, please help your sister choose a name."
"This is not good."
"Why, you look down on your sister?"
"No way, I'll go back and think about it carefully. I hope my sister won't blame me for giving it a bad name."
"How could that be? I can't thank you enough."
