Chapter 404 The Police Are Awesome
"You damned old bald monk, you still dare to argue with me!" Qi Tongwei liked to teach stubborn people a lesson, and angrily pointed at the old monk.
"Listen carefully, we are not a theocratic state, nor a religious state. Whether you are a monk, a Taoist priest, or believe in Jesus or Allah, you must all abide by the laws of this country."
"In matters of life and death, cooperating with the police investigation is the duty of every citizen. Do you understand now?"
The final roar terrified the onlookers. Damn it, the police are awesome.
The old monk was terrified by these words. The owner of Yunfeng Temple was Chen Wensheng, who was never afraid of anyone causing trouble, but this policeman was completely different.
"Qi Tongwei, how dare you! This is not the place for you to act tough!"
Chen Wensheng arrived menacingly with several bodyguards in suits. That bastard Qi Tongwei was going too far; Yunfeng Temple couldn't be allowed to be searched so easily.
Damn it, enemies are always eyeing each other with hatred. Qi Tongwei will not rest until he brings down Chenjiazhai.
"Chen Wensheng, judging by your posture, are you planning to obstruct the police from performing their duties?"
The monks quickly retreated to the back; with the boss handling things personally, there would definitely be no problem.
Chen Wensheng, wearing sunglasses and holding a cigar, exuded the air of a big shot. The onlookers unconsciously took a step back; this guy was clearly not someone to mess with, so it was better to stand further away to avoid being accidentally hurt.
"Qi Tongwei, don't you dare use your power for your own purposes. This is a solemn and sacred Buddhist temple. It's not a place where just anyone can search. I've already called the Religious Affairs Bureau and also filed a complaint with the provincial department. I advise you to get the hell out of here."
Qi Tongwei likes to face challenges head-on and solve problems; he's not someone to be intimidated.
"Chen Wensheng, by what right are you obstructing the police investigation? And what is your connection to Yunfeng Temple?"
"Qi Tongwei, listen carefully. This Yunfeng Temple was built under the leadership of me and the government. Someone as disrespectful to the Bodhisattva as you has no right to set foot in the temple."
Chen Wensheng was quite frank; since the news had already spread in society, it didn't matter if he said it.
Qi Tongwei's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. The opportunity to investigate Chen Wensheng was right in front of him, how could he miss it?
"Chen Wensheng, I now suspect that Yunfeng Temple is involved in human trafficking. Are you sure you want to obstruct the police investigation?"
Upon hearing this, the onlookers were astonished; this was quite a serious accusation.
Even Huang Dahai was surprised; the police were willing to say anything to solve a case.
Chen Wensheng finally understood: that damned Qi Tongwei was seizing the opportunity to deliberately escalate the situation.
"Qi Tongwei, with so many people watching, Yunfeng Temple isn't something you can just slander."
Qi Tongwei chuckled, "Chen Wensheng, why are you so nervous? Could it be that Yunfeng Temple really is hiding a secret?"
Some people actually believed this, after all, the people of China have very imaginative minds, and conspiracy theories are always the first thing that comes to mind.
Of course, some people feel that the police are abusing their power, arbitrarily labeling people, and that if they were ever suspected by the police for no reason, they would be completely at a disadvantage.
Chen Wensheng calmed down. He couldn't let Qi Tongwei, that bastard, provoke him, or he might accidentally cause a disaster.
"Qi Tongwei, you're all talk and no action. You really can say whatever you want. I'll call all the monks from Yunfeng Temple here today for you to see. If they don't have the person you're looking for, I'll definitely file a complaint against you all the way to the provincial level."
"Damn it, you son of a bitch, don't back down!" Qi Tongwei's fists were clenched. It seemed that Chenjia Village was really planning to keep a low profile.
"Chen Wensheng, cooperating with the police investigation is a citizen's duty. I am a police officer, and now that someone has reported a case, shouldn't I investigate?"
The onlookers are like weather vanes; if their own family members went missing, they would definitely be thrilled to have such a responsible police officer.
Chen Wensheng glared angrily. "Damn Qi Tongwei, you've said whatever you want. Of course, these peasants like to hear the police talk like that."
If every policeman were like that bastard Qi Tongwei, so righteous and unyielding, how could they collude with businessmen to make money and exploit these peasants?
"Qi Tongwei, anyone can say nice things. You're just abusing your power to do whatever you want."
The onlookers immediately agreed, since officials always protect each other, and truly good officials who care about the people only exist in movies.
Qi Tongwei laughed, "Chen Wensheng, you still want to pretend to be a good person? You can only hide the dirty deeds you've done for so long. A person like you pretending to be a Buddhist, you've done too many bad things, haven't you?"
This was a complete personal attack. Chen Wensheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth. If his elder brother hadn't given him instructions, he would have ordered the attack.
"Qi Tongwei, you fucking have the nerve to call yourself a policeman? Is this the kind of irresponsible thing a policeman should say?"
The onlookers saw that the two were very hostile, which suggested that they had a long-standing conflict. The fact that the police could say such things in public might mean they had some evidence. After all, how many big bosses are good people?
Qi Tongwei has never been one to back down in verbal battles, and it's quite satisfying to see Chen Wensheng tear off his hypocritical mask.
"Chen Wensheng, the people from Chenjiazhai can get their hands on any business in Tianhe City. Do you think the common people are stupid? Don't you like money?"
These onlookers felt deeply that if they didn't have connections, the police would turn a blind eye to the gangsters demanding protection money, and they would never get a chance to make money. If they dared to get involved in a profitable business, they would end up losing everything, and their families might even be ruined.
Qi Tongwei, that bastard, openly stated these unspoken rules, and Chen Wensheng wished he could tear him to pieces, yet he couldn't very well refute him, as a single word might provoke public outrage.
Of course, Chen Wensheng didn't think he had done anything wrong. This society is a dog-eat-dog world. If anyone is to blame, it's those peasants who are not ambitious and have no skills, so they can only do manual labor and be at the bottom of society. They are lucky if they can even get enough to eat.
"Qi Tongwei, you're full of twisted logic and you're certainly good at stirring up trouble, but you're a police officer. You have to rely on evidence for everything, not just spout nonsense."
Qi Tongwei clapped his hands. "Chen Wensheng, your words may be rough, but they make sense. It seems I've hit a nerve. Of course, the police need evidence when handling cases, but that evidence is gathered through investigation. Be bold in your suspicions, and carefully verify them—that's what makes a qualified people's police officer."
Chen Wensheng was so angry that he felt uncomfortable all over. That damn Qi Tongwei was so good at talking. One day he would definitely pull out his tongue and make that bastard mute. It would be very interesting.
When the onlookers saw Qi Tongwei's calm and composed demeanor, and Chen Wensheng's angry expression as if he were on the verge of exploding at any moment, the difference in their attitudes was obvious. As a result, more people sided with the police. Police officers who would stand up for the people against big bosses were a rare breed.
Suddenly a group of monks walked over, each one with a ruddy complexion and a plump, fair complexion. Damn it, is the vegetarian food in the temple really that nourishing? That's utterly ridiculous.
Huang Dahai rushed over to check, but his hopeful heart sank into a cold abyss; there was no monk named Yuanhui at all.
Qi Tongwei asked, "Huang Dahai, is this the person you're looking for?"
Despite his tough exterior, Huang Dahai was on the verge of tears, "No, Officer Qi, what should we do?"
Now Chen Wensheng had something to say: "Qi Tongwei, you have abused your police power and seriously disrupted the normal operation of Yunfeng Temple. This matter will not be left like this."
"Damn it, you dare threaten me? I've never been afraid of anyone!" Qi Tongwei wasn't going to slink away like that. "Chen Wensheng, when have you ever heard of a bad guy stepping forward voluntarily? I want to search personally."
