Chapter 226 Hating Wrongful Convictions
Wu Yong panicked; those words felt like a death sentence.
"Officer, you have to believe me. I'm telling the truth. I didn't kill anyone, I really didn't kill anyone."
Qi Tongwei was furious. Even though Wu Yong was immoral, he hated wrongful convictions even more.
"Wu Yong, all the evidence points to you now. You're a smart man. If you really didn't do it, then confess honestly."
Did you have sex with Bai Jie that afternoon?
Wu Yong clenched his fists, sweating profusely with nervousness. He hadn't confessed even under the brutal torture of the criminal police team, because if he did, things would only get worse.
"Officer, Bai Jie wasn't feeling well that afternoon; she had a cold. I just chatted with her for a while, then she went to sleep. Nothing happened."
Qi Tongwei's expression changed, and he grabbed Wu Yong by the collar, saying, "I'm trying to save you. If you don't say anything, I'll hand you over to the criminal investigation team."
Wu Yong was startled. Qi Tongwei's anger was no less than that of the criminal police. He was struggling with his inner conflict. After weighing the pros and cons, he still dared not admit that he had a relationship with Bai Jie. If he admitted it, the police's chain of evidence would only be more complete.
"Officer, I have a girlfriend, I love her very much, and I would never do anything to betray her."
Qi Tongwei released Wu Yong abruptly. Damn it, I really want to let this bastard fend for himself.
The criminal investigation team searched Wu Yong's rented house but did not find Bai Jie's missing belongings. The entire chain of evidence was incomplete, so Wu Yong may have been wrongly accused.
From a criminal investigation perspective, Lan Ying believes that Wu Yong has done an impeccable job so far. Even with the criminal police using various methods, they have not found any concrete evidence to convict him.
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath. As a police officer, he certainly couldn't just quit his job.
Of course, he also believed that with Chen Zhihu's background, the public security, procuratorate and judiciary could easily give Wu Yong the green light to be sent to the death row.
"Then think carefully, when you left Bai Jie's house, did you encounter any suspicious people?"
Wu Yong exclaimed excitedly, "Officer, a man just happened to get out of the elevator when I entered!"
Qi Tongwei hurriedly asked, "What does that man look like?"
Wu Yong racked his brains, "Officer, we just passed each other, I don't remember clearly. I'll definitely remember if I see the photo."
Qi Tongwei didn't want to let this important clue slip by. "Think it through carefully."
Wu Yong broke out in a cold sweat, thinking hard. "Officer, I really can't remember. Please believe me, I'm telling the truth."
Whether such a man actually existed or not, Qi Tongwei dared not believe Wu Yong's words, because he was indeed not very honest.
"Wu Yong, I'll stop my questions here for today. You'd better take care of yourself."
Wu Yong panicked. If he left the provincial department, the criminal investigation team would definitely not let him go.
"Officer, the criminal investigation team hit me! Take me to the provincial police station, or I'll be beaten to death!"
You son of a bitch, so you know fear now?
Qi Tongwei felt absolutely no sympathy for Wu Yong; he was a damn selfish man who never spoke a word of truth.
"Don't worry, the provincial department is in charge of this case. If they kill you, I'll send them all to jail."
Wu Yong understood that this was Qi Tongwei's deliberate revenge for not telling the truth. What use was sending him to the criminal police team and prison when he was already dead?
He wanted to live. After so many years of hard work, he not only wanted to live, but also to live a wonderful life and become a superior person.
"Officer, please, take me to the provincial headquarters. I'll only die here."
Qi Tongwei wanted to laugh. At present, Wu Yong is the biggest suspect. If it were someone else, he might be able to fight with the criminal police team, but let Wu Yong suffer some physical pain as punishment.
"Officer, please, please!"
Qi Tongwei walked out of the interrogation room without looking back, ignoring Wu Yong's pleas. Does this kind of person deserve sympathy?
Chen Zhihu stopped Qi Tongwei outside, his face full of anger, as if he had seen an enemy.
"Qi Tongwei, what the hell did you get out of that?"
Qi Tongwei stepped forward, glaring fiercely at Chen Zhihu, "A good dog doesn't block the way."
Chen Zhihu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He couldn't win in a one-on-one fight, and a group fight would alert the leaders. It was so frustrating.
"Don't try to act all high and mighty in front of me. You're just relying on Director Ye's connections; what do you know about investigating cases?"
Qi Tongwei clenched his fist, making a cracking sound. Chen Zhihu quickly took a step back, looking a bit intimidated.
"Chen Zhihu, I don't know about others, but I'm definitely better at investigating cases than you. You listen to me, if Wu Yong dies in the criminal investigation team, I'll send the entire team to prison."
"I hit that bastard Wu Yong, so what if I hit a murderer? Stop pretending to be a good guy, haven't you ever hit anyone before?"
Chen Zhihu made no attempt to hide his actions; he would beat up an ordinary person, let alone a murderer.
Qi Tongwei was too lazy to get entangled with Chen Zhihu. A man and a woman could still say that fighting is a sign of affection, but two grown men were complete enemies.
"You fucking better watch yourself."
"I don't need you to tell me how to do things."
Chen Zhihu was arrogant, but he still made way for Qi Tongwei.
After leaving the Municipal Bureau, based on the business card given to them by Hua Mudan, Qi Tongwei, along with Lan Ying and Wu Dali, went to find the Hong Kong boss to check on the Cartier watch.
Wu Dali floored the gas pedal and sped off, furious. "Qi Zhi, I think it was probably that bastard who did it. He was afraid his relationship with Bai Jie would be discovered by his current girlfriend and ruin his future, so he killed her."
Qi Tongwei turned around and asked, "Lan Ying, what are your thoughts?"
Lan Ying calmly analyzed, "Wu Yong's motive for killing is twofold. The first is the situation Wu Dali described, and the second is that Bai Jie was unwilling to be abandoned by him, and out of love turned to hatred, she threatened him with their relationship, which led him to kill her to silence her."
Qi Tongwei agreed, "Wu Yong is a top student, meticulous in his work, and fully capable of erasing all evidence afterward. But there's a question: if Wu Yong went to kill Bai Jie specifically that day, he should have disguised himself; he shouldn't have been recognized so easily by the security guards."
Wu Dali excitedly chimed in, "So it's because the two of them couldn't reach an agreement and it was a last-minute decision."
Whether it was intentional homicide, a spur-of-the-moment act, or if the killer was someone else, Qi Tongwei and Lan Ying fell silent.
Arriving at a building, I took the elevator to the eighth floor.
Qi Tongwei flashed his badge. "Police, are you looking for your boss, Mr. Huang?"
The receptionist was startled; police coming to the door was definitely not a good thing.
"Officer, please wait a moment, let me call and ask."
"Please go ahead."
The receptionist immediately dialed the boss's office, explained the situation, and then led Qi Tongwei and the others to see the boss.
The office area is at least three or four hundred square meters, and the employees are all very busy. These days, having computers and telephones makes it a pretty impressive company.
The Hong Kong boss was named Huang Sen. He was dressed in a suit and tie, was well-mannered, and was probably in his forties. He wore glasses and was in good shape.
"Please have a seat, officers. I wonder how I can help you?"
