Chapter 220 Developing Informants
Chapter 220 Developing Informants
Lu Jin clenched his fists, his face filled with murderous intent. "Go ahead and kill me if you dare. Once I get out, I'll be living the high life, sleeping with prostitutes every day. What can you do to me then?"
"A lowly cop like you, making only a few hundred yuan a month, why the hell are you risking your life?"
At this moment, Lan Ying wanted to stand up and explain for Qi Tongwei, because in her opinion, Qi Tongwei didn't seem to be short of money. A grown man going to stay in a high-end hotel made her a little suspicious that Qi Tongwei might have something to hide.
Qi Tongwei grabbed Lu Jin's hair and pulled him back forcefully. "You son of a bitch, you're so proud of yourself. Don't cry when you get shot."
Lu Jin grimaced in pain; even pulling a tiny hair felt like a pain in his heart. It was humiliating, utterly humiliating.
"I'm going to file a complaint against you for using torture to extract confessions."
Qi Tongwei released Lu Jin's hair, clapped his hands, and said, "Complain about your mother? You still complain? Damn it, now you know who's the cat and who's the mouse, right? If I want to mess with you, I can kill you in a minute."
When Lu Jin was a teenager, he was fearless. But after being dealt with by the police a few times, he finally learned his lesson. Unless it was a one-for-one trade, he had no choice but to obediently try to maintain good relations with the police.
Qi Tongwei is nothing in Lu Jin's eyes now, because his elder brother Qiu Jinkun has a very strong relationship with the municipal government. With such a powerful backer, the underworld can certainly control everything.
Lu Jin was completely unafraid, his face full of provocation, "When I get out of here, I'll definitely make you suffer, I'll make your whole family suffer!"
"You son of a bitch, how dare you threaten the police?"
Qi Tongwei slapped Lu Jin hard without any hesitation. The strong bully the weak, but there will always be someone stronger.
Lu Jin hadn't been slapped in a long time; now he was the one slapping others, and this humiliation drove him mad.
"You fucking wait, I'll beat you until you beg for mercy on your knees, and none of your women will escape!"
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Qi Tongwei slapped Lu Jin several times in a row, causing blood to come out of his mouth.
"Damn it, come on, keep yelling, I'll beat you until you submit today."
Lu Jin's eyes blazed with fury, as if a volcano had erupted. Humiliation, utterly humiliating.
"You fucking hit me again and see what happens."
Before he could finish speaking, Qi Tongwei slapped him hard across the face. "Want to continue?"
Lu Jin glared angrily, his fists clenched so tightly they were about to burst. But he wasn't a teenager anymore; reality had taught him to be patient. He knew that he could get back tenfold or a hundredfold for any humiliation he might suffer in the future.
Since Lu Jin backed down, Qi Tongwei decided to stop while he was ahead. Lan Ying breathed a sigh of relief; if something had happened, it would have been difficult to explain.
"I'm waiting for your revenge, preferably a fight to the death."
Qi Tongwei left behind a harsh remark and walked out of the interrogation room.
Lu Jin gritted his teeth. This guy was no cop; he was more like a gangster in a police uniform.
Qi Tongwei went to the toilet to relieve himself. A policeman ran over and gave Lan Ying the investigation file on Yu Haichao. Lan Ying was shocked to see that Yu Haichao and Wu Dali had grown up in the same orphanage.
"We have Yu Haichao's information."
Lan Ying snapped out of her daze, "I've got it, Qi Zhi!"
Qi Tongwei noticed that Lan Ying was acting strangely, as if she had been stimulated by something.
Is there a problem?
Lan Ying quickly handed Yu Haichao's information to Qi Tongwei, saying, "Chief Qi, take a look."
It turns out that Yu Haichao and Wu Dali were admitted to the police academy in the same year. Later, when Yu Haichao was eating, some thugs came to collect protection money. He couldn't stand it and spoke up for justice, which led to a fight. However, he went too far and seriously injured one of the thugs.
The petty thug had a big brother behind him, and the big brother had powerful connections. As a result, Yu Haichao was not only expelled from the police academy but also sentenced to five years in prison. After his release, he followed Lu Jin into the underworld.
There was a martial arts master at the orphanage. Wu Dali and Yu Haichao learned kung fu together. After Yu Haichao was released from prison, Wu Dali went to see him. Yu Haichao and Wu Dali fought and broke off their friendship. They declared that Wu Dali was a soldier and Yu Haichao was a thief, and from then on, they would not hesitate to fight anyone they encountered.
Qi Tongwei had read Wu Dali's information and understood why Lan Ying was behaving strangely.
Entering the interrogation room, Yu Haichao lowered his head, glanced at Qi Tongwei, and then lowered his head again. His lifelong dream was to become a police officer, but fate played a cruel joke on him.
Qi Tongwei sat down. Perhaps because of Wu Dali, he always felt that Yu Haichao was different from other thugs.
"May I have your name"
Yu Haichao
Yu Haichao answered decisively, expressing his envy of Qi Tongwei for being able to shut down the Golden Phoenix Nightclub without fear of powerful figures.
"You know Wu Dali?"
Yu Haichao paused for a moment, then couldn't help but smile wryly, "I guess we knew each other, but that's all in the past. We're strangers now."
Qi Tongwei asked curiously, "Did you and Wu Dali learn your kung fu from the same master?"
Yu Haichao nodded.
How did you meet Lu Jin?
Yu Haichao didn't hide anything, saying, "We met in prison."
"Are you two willing to risk your lives for each other?"
Yu Haichao suppressed a laugh. In his opinion, Qi Tongwei's words were particularly naive. The concept of brotherhood in the underworld was just something that was portrayed in movies to deceive people. Only interests were real, and fighting and killing were all for the sake of interests.
"Officer, you must be joking."
Qi Tongwei took out a cigarette. "Do you smoke?"
"Thank you, officer. I won't smoke today."
Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette and took a puff. "How long have you been at the Golden Phoenix Nightclub?"
Yu Haichao was very cooperative, saying, "It's been almost a year."
Are you familiar with Bai Jie?
"We're not close. I'm not a big talker."
Qi Tongwei exhaled a smoke ring, stood up, and walked over to Yu Haichao. "With your skills, Lu Jin must value you highly."
Yu Haichao looked up at Qi Tongwei; he knew exactly what the police wanted to ask.
"That's right"
Qi Tongwei suddenly had a bold idea: if he could develop Yu Haichao into an informant, just like in the movies, it would be much easier to investigate the Golden Phoenix Nightclub.
Are there drugs at the Golden Phoenix Nightclub?
"I don't know, and I don't care. If someone causes trouble, my job is to kick them out."
Yu Haichao remained calm, seemingly unconcerned, giving off a numb feeling.
Qi Tongwei seemed to understand Yu Haichao a little. How could he not feel disheartened when that once righteous and passionate young man ended up in prison because of a single act of bravery?
"Alright, that's enough for today. Do you want to meet Wu Dali?"
Yu Haichao immediately refused, "No need, officer."
Qi Tongwei had just stepped out of the interrogation room when Li Jitao stormed over angrily. Li Jitao had just returned home when his phone was bombarded with calls from municipal government leaders, who were demanding to know if he was trying to hinder Tianhe City's economic development.
Li Jitao couldn't bear the charge of hindering Tianhe City's economic development. After playing dumb for a while, he finally realized that Qi Tongwei had actually shut down the Golden Phoenix Nightclub.
Upon hearing this news, Li Jitao nearly exploded on the spot. He immediately called Director Ye, whose secretary told him that Director Ye was out of town for an exchange and inspection today, and unfortunately caught a cold due to the heavy rain, so he went to bed early.
As a result, Li Jitao had no choice but to face the reprimands from the municipal government leaders alone.
Seeing Li Jitao's bad expression, Lan Ying quickly stepped back. The closure of the Golden Phoenix Nightclub was such a big deal that any leader would have a headache.
Qi Tongwei feigned ignorance, forcing a smile, "Boss, it's so late, you should get some rest."
