Chapter 30 Earthquake in the Police Force! Gao Yuliang's Late-Night Call!
"Click."
The sound of the handcuffs locking was crisp and cold, like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of everyone present.
Qian Liwei, the executive deputy director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, is a powerful figure who has cultivated deep roots in the Jingzhou police force for many years and whose word is law.
And just like that, in front of hundreds of subordinates, he was handcuffed.
The color drained from his face in an instant.
Those eyes, once filled with official authority and scheming, are now nothing but endless emptiness and despair.
He knew he was finished.
The moment Qi Tongwei took out that evidence bag, he knew he was completely finished.
His confidants and the cadres he had promoted all had their heads bowed, silent and trembling, not daring to even breathe loudly.
The look in their eyes as they looked at Qi Tongwei had changed from initial contempt and disdain to deep fear.
This newly arrived deputy director is not some clueless greenhorn.
He's a demon who crawled out of hell!
He didn't make any sweeping changes after taking office.
He simply blew up the entire armory!
"take away."
Qi Tongwei's voice was completely calm.
Chen Hai escorted the distraught Qian Liwei toward the police car.
No one dared to step forward to stop them.
Qi Tongwei's gaze slowly swept over everyone present.
Finally, the blame fell on Wu Jianguo, the deputy head of the criminal investigation team, who was also pale-faced.
When Wu Jianguo was swept by his icy gaze, he felt a shiver run through his body, his legs went weak, and he almost lost his balance.
He remembered his ugly face in those photos.
"Deputy Captain Wu."
Qi Tongwei spoke up.
Are you still attending the meeting tomorrow morning?
Wu Jianguo knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Director Qi... I was wrong, I confess, I admit it!"
"I'll tell you everything!"
A barely perceptible hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Qi Tongwei's mouth.
He ignored the spineless dog, turned around, and got into his car.
The black Audi, escorted by dozens of police cars, drove away from this sinful place like a victorious king returning home.
All that remained was a scene of utter devastation and a group of bewildered police officers.
The news, like a Category 12 hurricane, swept through the entire officialdom of Jingzhou in just half an hour.
Qi Tongwei, the newly appointed deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, has been in office for less than three days.
A surprise attack on "Golden Splendor" in the dead of night.
The boss, Li Jun, was apprehended on the spot.
They were caught red-handed, and a black ledger containing countless pieces of evidence of officials' crimes was seized.
Furthermore, in front of hundreds of police officers, he personally handcuffed and took away Qian Liwei, the executive deputy director!
Every piece of news was like a bombshell, leaving everyone dizzy and terrified.
Those who mocked and ridiculed Qi Tongwei at the welcome party, and who outwardly complied but inwardly defied him, are now hiding at home, trembling with fear, unable to sleep all night.
They knew that the political landscape of Jingzhou's police force was about to change.
City police station building, interrogation room.
The lights were a stark white.
Qian Liwei sat in the interrogation chair, looking as if his bones had been removed, and he had aged twenty years.
He neither resisted nor shouted.
Faced with overwhelming evidence, he chose the smartest course of action—to confess.
He not only confessed to accepting bribes from Li Jun and acting as his protector, but also confessed to all his crimes.
In an effort to earn merit, he spilled everything he knew about the "Han University Gang's" plans within the Jingzhou police force.
Who belongs to whom?
Who is involved in the transfer of benefits with whom?
Whoever helps whom settles the matter.
He betrayed familiar faces and shocking secrets without hesitation.
Chen Hai, who was in charge of the interrogation, was terrified as he listened, and his palms were constantly sweating.
He now understood that Qi Tongwei's move hadn't actually broken the table leg at all.
This was clearly lighting a fuse, igniting a powder keg within the entire Jingzhou police force!
Qi Tongwei did not personally participate in the interrogation.
He simply sat in the monitoring room next door, quietly watching the screen as Qian Liwei wept bitterly and completely broke down.
His face was expressionless.
【Ding! 】
A cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
[Host detected a swift and decisive action; with overwhelming force, initial control has been established over the Jingzhou police force, upholding the dignity of the law!]
Overall Rating: A+! Dignity Points +300!
[Reward Awarded: Interrogation Psychology (Beginner)!]
A subtle flow of information surged into Qi Tongwei's brain.
He instantly grasped a wealth of knowledge about micro-expression analysis, psychological profiling, and language traps.
He felt that he could easily see through anyone's lies and break down anyone's psychological defenses.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on his office door.
Chen Hai walked in, his face still showing shock.
"Tongwei, confess everything."
"Qian Liwei sold everyone out."
"What's our next step? Should we arrest them immediately?"
Qi Tongwei shook his head.
"No rush."
He stood up and walked to the window.
The sky was already beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
A new day is about to begin.
"Fish must be caught one by one."
"The net must be gathered in little by little."
"Now, all we need to do is send this statement to where it's supposed to go."
He picked up the newly prepared copy of Qian Liwei's statement from the table.
He had Chen Hai personally deliver one copy to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.
For the other document, he took out his phone, took a picture, and sent it directly to Secretary Tian's secretary, who was far away in the southwest, through an encrypted channel.
Only after doing all this did he feel the exhaustion of not having slept all night.
He returned to his dormitory, ready to rest for a while.
However, just as he lay down, the private phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.
The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number from the provincial capital.
Qi Tongwei answered the phone.
On the other end of the phone came a voice that was both familiar and utterly unfamiliar to him.
Refined, composed, with a subtle, almost imperceptible complexity.
"Tongwei?"
"I am Teacher Gao."
It is Gao Yuliang.
Qi Tongwei's heart remained completely unmoved.
He knew this call would come sooner or later.
"Hello, Teacher Gao."
His voice was calm, yet detached.
On the other end of the phone, Gao Yuliang seemed to sense the distance as well, and remained silent for a few seconds.
"Tongwei, you... were too impulsive."
Gao Yuliang's voice carried a hint of heartbroken regret.
"Although Qian Liwei made a mistake, he is, after all, an executive member of the bureau and your colleague."
"You acted without discussion by the Party Committee or reporting to the organization, and even handcuffed him in public. This is a serious procedural violation!"
"What will the provincial party committee think of you? What will the municipal party committee think of you?"
"You're ruining your future!"
These words sound like a teacher patiently instructing a student who has made a mistake.
But Qi Tongwei detected a deep-seated fear between the lines.
Gao Yuliang was scared.
He feared that his uncontrollable knife would completely disrupt the chess game he had been building in Handong for many years.
Qi Tongwei neither refuted nor argued.
He just listened quietly.
"Tongwei, listen to your teacher's advice."
Gao Yuliang's tone softened.
"There is still a chance to salvage the situation."
"You must immediately write a profound self-criticism, admitting your mistakes."
"Release Qian Liwei first. I'll handle things and help you coordinate."
"As long as you're willing to back down, I promise this matter will end here."
Upon hearing the words "bowing down," a chilling glint flashed in Qi Tongwei's eyes.
He smiled.
His laughter was incredibly sarcastic.
"Teacher Gao."
His voice was as cold as ice.
"Have you forgotten?"
"My knees, Qi Tongwei's knees, are very hard."
"I won't kneel down."
There was a deathly silence on the other end of the phone.
After a long while, Gao Yuliang's voice, suppressing his overwhelming rage, slowly rang out.
"Okay, okay, okay."
"Qi Tongwei, you've grown up, you're all grown up now."
"I'd like to see how high you, this lone wolf, can fly in Handong without me as your teacher!"
The phone call was abruptly ended.
Qi Tongwei put down his phone, his eyes showing no fear whatsoever.
Only endless sorrow remains.
He knew that from this moment on, he and his mentor had completely become adversaries.
And just as he put down his phone.
Another call came in.
The caller ID showed a name that was incredibly charming.
Gao Xiaoqin.
