Chapter 189: Tens of Thousands of Dollars in Drug Funds Found
"Black Panther, don't be impulsive. Someone will deal with that kid."
"Brother, I can't swallow this insult."
Black Panther threw the photo out the window with a thud.
The man's voice on the phone hardened, carrying an air of authority without anger: "Black Panther, this is my order."
Black Panther reluctantly accepted, "Yes, Big Brother."
"Black Panther, keep your underlings quiet and make sure they keep their mouths shut."
"Don't worry, boss. Aside from me, none of the underlings know anything."
"That's good. Don't run around without my orders."
"yes, Sir"
The next morning, Qi Tongwei led seven or eight policemen in two police cars to search Ma Fengtian's house. It seemed that Ma Fengtian had made a lot of money from drug trafficking. His house was newly built, completed three months ago. It was a seven-story building, with the third floor where he lived and the rest rented out.
Eastern Guangdong was at the forefront of reform and opening up, attracting countless migrant workers from the inland areas, thus creating one landlady or landlady after another.
Damn it, if Ma Fengtian hadn't been arrested, he would have retired from his criminal activities and become a billionaire after his house was demolished and he received compensation. It's true that it's hard for good people to make money.
After knocking on the door, Qi Tongwei produced a search warrant. "Chen Xiufang, your husband, Ma Fengtian, is suspected of drug trafficking. We are now conducting a search of your home to collect evidence in accordance with the law."
"I'm divorced from Ma Fengtian. His affairs are none of my business, so don't bother me."
Chen Xiufang, her face full of anger, was about to slam the door shut.
Qi Tongwei slammed his foot against the door. "Chen Xiufang, please cooperate with the police investigation. We will naturally find out the truth."
"Ma Fengtian's affairs have nothing to do with me. Get out, get out of my house!"
Chen Xiufang yelled and screamed like a shrew, and even kicked Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei pushed the door open and waved his hand, "Go in and search."
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiufang immediately lay down on the ground, throwing a tantrum, crying, "Help! Help! The police are beating people! The police are beating people!"
Qi Tongwei was furious. "Damn it, they should have just blown up the house they built with money earned from drug trafficking."
"What are you all standing there for? Go in and search!"
Qi Tongwei went in first, followed immediately by Wu Dali and Lan Ying, and then all the police rushed in.
Chen Xiufang thought that throwing a tantrum would make the police back down, but to her surprise, they didn't buy it at all. She quickly got up and ran to the balcony, shouting and yelling.
"Help! Robbery! Help! Robbery!"
Upon hearing the cries for help, passersby quickly looked over, and some even called the police.
"Qi Zhi, should we take her into custody?"
Lan Ying felt that letting Chen Xiufang shout like that would ultimately have a bad influence.
Qi Tongwei didn't care. "Let her shout if she wants to. Her husband is a drug dealer. I don't mind letting more people know that this is a drug dealer's family."
Lan Ying was stunned for a moment. She was surprised that Qi Tongwei could do this. He really wasn't a kind person.
Wu Dali ran out of the bedroom excitedly, saying, "Qi Zhi, I've found something! Come and take a look!"
When Qi Tongwei entered the bedroom, he was astonished to find that the space under the bed was covered with money, all in hundred-yuan bills, estimated to be at least several million.
Chen Xiufang stormed in like a madwoman, shouting, "This money is all mine! It has nothing to do with Ma Fengtian! I earned it! I earned it!"
When Qi Tongwei saw Chen Xiufang's appearance, he thought she looked old and faded, and wondered how she could earn so much money. He thought she was lying.
"Cuff her and take her back."
Lan Ying immediately pulled out handcuffs, and two policemen restrained Chen Xiufang, who struggled desperately, kicking and thrashing about.
"I didn't break the law, I didn't break the law, that's my money, that's my money!"
Openly resisting the law, the police pinned Chen Xiufang to the ground, and Lan Ying handcuffed her.
Fortunately, Qi Tongwei acted quickly, otherwise the money would have been transferred by Chen Xiufang today. She is from Chenjiazhai, and her brothers from her maternal family are on their way to transfer the money to her.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
Chen Xiufang's brothers and sisters led five or six people in and stormed in aggressively.
Qi Tongwei stepped in front of the crowd, forcefully producing his identification. "Police investigation. Ma Fengtian was arrested last night for drug trafficking. All unrelated personnel are requested to leave immediately and not obstruct police operations."
"Ma Fengtian and my sister are divorced. This house belongs to my sister. What right do the police have to search it?"
Chen Xiufang's brother, Chen Dasheng, rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to take action.
"I'll say it again, this is a police investigation. Anyone not involved should leave immediately."
Qi Tongwei glared angrily at Chen Dasheng, intimidating everyone present.
Those watching the commotion outside immediately understood: Ma Fengtian had been arrested for drug trafficking. The news spread like wildfire.
"Brother, call the clan leader immediately."
With her family backing her up, Chen Xiufang felt much more confident.
Seeing that things were not going well, Chen Xiufang's younger brother, Chen Daqiang, took the opportunity to slip out and call the criminal police captain, Chen Zhihu, for help. As long as Chen Zhihu intervened, what did the police matter?
Facing Chenjiazhai, Qi Tongwei still dared not be careless. He immediately took out his mobile phone from his bag and called the deputy team leader, Li Jitao.
"Chief Li, a large amount of drug money was found at Ma Fengtian's house. We're currently facing some difficulties and need some manpower to move the drug money out as soon as possible."
Finding drug money is great! Another great achievement. Li Jitao is starting to like Qi Tongwei; this kid always manages to surprise people.
"You need to be careful about the public impact. I'll send someone over right away."
"Yes, Chief Li."
Qi Tongwei ordered, "Wu Dali, you're in charge of keeping a close watch on all this drug money. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible."
"Yes, Qizhi."
Wu Dali pulled out a gun, and Chen Dasheng took a step back in fright. The people who came with him were also trembling with fear.
Thousands of onlookers gathered outside. The people of Longguo love to watch excitement, and they are not deterred by wind or rain, nor by gunfire.
"No wonder the Ma family is so rich; they're drug traffickers. They're truly harmful people and deserve to die."
"Keep your voice down. The Ma family has strong connections; they might just release you."
"That makes sense. It's quite possible that Ma Fengtian's wife is from Chenjia Village."
"I heard that the provincial department has set up a special task force for drug enforcement. If the provincial department is handling this case, Ma Fengtian won't get out so easily."
"Don't you understand the concept of officials protecting each other? As long as Chenjiazhai makes a call, Ma Fengtian can buy his life with money; anything is possible."
"Old Huang, how about we make a bet? I bet Ma Fengtian is doomed. If I win, you treat me to breakfast for a month—just rice noodle rolls with two eggs and meat."
"Old Huang wouldn't dare, I'll bet you, what's a month's supply of rice noodle rolls?"
"I bet I underestimated them."
"Old Zhou, what makes you so sure Ma Fengtian is finished?"
"The fact that they're making such a big fuss shows that someone wants to escalate things, and once things escalate, sometimes it's beyond human control."
"See? Old Zhou's mind is still sharp. No wonder he has so much white hair; even in retirement, he's still worried about national affairs."
"Get out of here, Old Li, your wife's calling you home to cook dinner."
Waaaaaah!
The municipal criminal investigation team arrived first, with five police cars. The team leader was Chen Zhihu, the captain of the criminal investigation team. Even if it was drug money, the provincial department could not be allowed to take it.
