Chapter 217 Seizure of the Nightclub
After questioning for a while, Qi Tongwei finally found some breakthroughs in solving the case.
"Thank you for your cooperation. I will definitely get justice for your friend."
"Thank you, officer."
For the first time, Hua Mudan's impression of the police improved. In her line of work, the thing she feared most was encountering the police. She had been to the police station many times, and the police treated her like social trash. It was no exaggeration to say that they didn't even consider her human. Only Qi Tongwei could communicate with her calmly and on equal terms, without putting on airs at all.
After questioning Hua Mudan, Qi Tongwei strode into the nightclub. The girls in the lobby had also given their answers. They didn't dare to be as brave as Hua Mudan. The nightclub owners were not kind people, and they naturally knew the importance of self-preservation.
"The three of you come with me to the police station for questioning."
Qi Tongwei pointed arrogantly at Lu Jin, Yu Haichao, and Manager Dong, saying, "Don't think that's the end of it after this exchange. I still have the added advantage of being a police officer."
"I'm too busy, I don't have time."
Lu Jin was furious. "Damn it! So what if they're police? They ruined the nightclub's business. I haven't even settled the score with them yet. This is outrageous!"
Qi Tongwei, too lazy to waste words, pulled out his gun and pointed it at Lu Jin's head. "Damn it, can't you understand what I'm saying?"
"Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"
Lu Jin wasn't intimidated. He'd never been afraid of the police in his life, especially with so many of his underlings around. He couldn't afford to lose face like that.
"Brother Jin"
"Brother Jin"
"Brother Jin"
The security guards and thugs shouted and yelled at Qi Tongwei, putting pressure on him. They were all incredibly arrogant.
The police officers present quickly drew their guns to prevent a potential riot from spiraling out of control. They were all uneasy, as firing a gun was no small matter. Working with the "King of Hell" meant that unexpected things could happen at any moment, and their hearts couldn't take it; they needed to have a very strong heart.
Damn it, even gangsters dare to be so arrogant. Qi Tongwei won't tolerate them. He kicked Lu Jin away and then unexpectedly kicked Yu Haichao down.
"Come on, come on, anyone who's not afraid of death, give it a try!"
Enraged, Qi Tongwei, armed with a gun, forcefully forced the security guards and thugs to retreat. "Damn it, is this cop a bandit?"
The security guards and thugs were all intimidated by Qi Tongwei's imposing manner. The leader, Lu Jin, was lying on the ground, and the number one thug, Yu Haichao, was also knocked down. The others didn't dare to stand up for themselves. As the saying goes, "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down," but it wouldn't be good to stand up for yourself in front of this crazy policeman.
The momentum instantly shifted to the police. Two officers rushed over and handcuffed Yu Haichao. Qi Tongwei walked up to Lu Jin and looked down at him.
"I know you're not happy about it, but you'd better keep it to yourself."
Lu Jin clenched his fists, his anger blazing enough to set the entire nightclub ablaze. "Fuck your mother!"
He dared to resist, but unfortunately, he couldn't fight back. Qi Tongwei kicked Lu Jin hard in the chin, knocking out two teeth and filling his mouth with blood.
In the blink of an eye, Qi Tongwei gave Lu Jin no chance and pointed a gun directly at his forehead.
"I wouldn't hesitate to beat a scumbag like you to death."
Lu Jin lay on the ground, his eyes blazing with fury, his face filled with anger, humiliation, and struggle. Qi Tongwei had given him the chance to grab the gun, but at the same time, he had given him a dead end.
Ultimately, anger did not completely irrational Lu Jin. He believed that as long as he survived, he would fight back sooner or later and take revenge. He gave up the struggle amidst anger and humiliation.
Qi Tongwei stood up, radiating a bloodthirsty impulse. It wouldn't be unjust to shoot all these scumbags.
He single-handedly subdued all the security guards and thugs, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Cuff them!"
Two police officers immediately ran over and handcuffed Lu Jin. Lu Jin's eyes were filled with intense murderous intent. Qi Tongwei didn't care. There were too many scumbags and degenerates these days. Killing one would be one less.
"Officer, I've been cooperating the whole time, so I don't need to go to the police station, right? I still have a lot of things to do at the nightclub."
Manager Dong looked aggrieved. The Golden Phoenix Nightclub had powerful backing. Chen Zhihu and his team from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Department were old acquaintances of the club. A word from them could settle anything. He had never seen a policeman so bold as to raid the Golden Phoenix Nightclub.
Qi Tongwei patted Manager Dong on the shoulder with a half-smile, "Damn it, I gave you a chance and you couldn't handle it."
If Manager Dong had known it would turn out this way, he would definitely have cooperated better, saying, "Officer, I'll definitely cooperate better next time."
Qi Tongwei ignored them and walked directly toward the trembling young ladies.
"Ladies, as I said before, don't be afraid. The police are not monsters. The nightclub will be temporarily closed for rectification, so you can take a break and rest."
The girls were taken aback. The Golden Phoenix Nightclub was so popular that they weren't allowed to take leave even when they were menstruating.
Many women are also tricked into gambling in underground casinos, where they lose everything and incur huge gambling debts. The interest keeps piling up, leaving them with no choice but to work in nightclubs to pay off their debts. Running away is impossible, as the nightclubs know exactly where their hometowns are.
Damn it, it's humans who are treated like cattle and horses. Humans need rest, not the expendable resources of heartless capitalists.
These words shocked Lu Jin and Manager Dong. How could a junior policeman have such power to shut down a nightclub?
The police were equally shocked. They were just investigating a murder case, how did it escalate like this?
Lan Ying didn't understand why Qi Tongwei would do this, but she knew that her superiors would be very troubled if they found out.
As for why Qi Tongwei wanted the Golden Phoenix Nightclub to suspend operations for rectification, did he need a reason? No, he didn't need one at all.
"Take the three of them back first."
"Yes, Qizhi."
After treating his wounds, Wu Dali rushed over, thankfully still able to have a sip of soup.
"Qi Zhi, I'm not late, am I?"
Qi Tongwei laughed and said, "You've come at the right time. The nightclub is going to be closed for rectification. You can stay and supervise."
"what"
Wu Dali was taken aback. "Qi Zhi, are you kidding me? You're going to shut down the nightclub?"
Are you scared?
Wu Dali scratched his head. "Qi Zhi, aren't we going a bit too far?"
Qi Tongwei was full of confidence and didn't care at all. "What's there to be afraid of? I'll take the blame if anything goes wrong."
Wu Dali was still worried. "Chief Qi, perhaps we should consult with the leadership first?"
"The leader definitely won't agree. 'A general in the field may disobey the emperor's orders,' do you understand the principle of 'act first, report later'?"
Wu Dali understood perfectly well; would most people dare to act first and report later? "Qi Zhi, how long do you plan to keep the nightclub closed?"
Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "How long the business is closed isn't important; what matters is the attitude."
Wu Dali didn't understand; the leader's mind was just too convoluted. "Alright, Qi Zhi, I'll follow orders."
"That's right, don't overthink it. You're still young, you can always start over."
Lan Ying was speechless. Did she think everyone had a powerful background like you?
Wu Dali had no choice but to stay and do the hard and tiring work because the leaders had made such a big promise. Qi Tongwei took Lan Ying back to the provincial department and interrogated her overnight.
Provincial Department, Interrogation Room.
"Let me go! Let me go! If you don't let me go, I'll burn the police station down!"
Kang Haitao, handcuffed, sat on the truth chair and went berserk, his voice practically hoarse from shouting.
