Chapter 129 Investigating His Ancestry for Eight Generations
Chapter 129 Investigating His Ancestry for Eight Generations
After Qi Tongwei brought the students back, he immediately went to Han Weiping to receive his spiritual baptism.
"Reporting to Director Han, I unexpectedly encountered a case of school bullying today, which caused a slight delay."
Han Weiping pointed at Qi Tongwei, feeling a sharp pain in his throat as he spoke.
"Alright, alright, you really are a good cop, thinking you're a savior, huh?"
Qi Tongwei quickly put on a smiling face, "Director Han, did your boss upset you? You can't take it out on your subordinates, can you? I'm being so wronged."
Han Weiping picked up the teacup, wanting to smash it, and demanded, "Tell me, what have you done?"
Qi Tongwei, however, looked righteous and indignant. "Director Han, I just arrested the delinquent teenagers who were bullying the students. What's wrong with that?"
Han Weiping was so angry he wanted to curse, "Why did you arrest them? You're the criminal investigation team, not the public security brigade or the police station. You need to understand your responsibilities. Besides, who gave you the right to arbitrarily define people as 'delinquent youths' or 'delinquent girls'? If they have problems, it's none of your business."
Qi Tongwei was not satisfied and insisted on a debate. The truth becomes clearer through debate, so he had to put on a high hat to put Han Ju in a better position.
"Director Han, I disagree with your statement. I am a police officer. I witnessed a group of delinquent teenagers beating a defenseless female student in broad daylight. This cannot be simply attributed to their young age and ignorance. This is a blatant insult to a person's dignity; this is blatant bullying."
"The reason why there is a crackdown every few years is largely due to the schools. Schools only care about grades and don't consider what to do with the underachieving students. These underachieving students are then influenced by street thugs, and they quickly go astray, which causes great instability in society."
“Bullying only fuels this evil trend. If teachers don't do anything, schools don't do anything, and parents don't do anything, they become bolder and bolder, even daring to commit murder and arson. I don't want to be some kind of savior; I just want to stop this evil trend.”
"One rotten apple spoils the whole barrel—it's that simple. Schools are places for learning, not places where some people bully classmates because of their family background, and then their parents just give them a piece of their mind. That goes against social fairness and justice."
"The father of the girl who led the bullying is a bureau chief. Today, I handcuffed her in front of her father. I wanted to show her that not everything her father can solve for her, and I also wanted to show the bullied girl that there is still fairness and justice in the world."
Qi Tongwei's long speech moved Han Weiping; this kid is so eloquent, he'd make a good political commissar.
"What do you plan to do? Send them to a juvenile detention center?"
"Director Han, sending them to a juvenile detention center is not the goal. The most important thing is to raise awareness among schools, society, and parents. We need to vigorously promote awareness so that every student can bravely say no to bullying. Schools shouldn't rush to suppress information as soon as something happens, for fear of affecting their reputation. Parents should tell their children that if they are bullied at school, they must tell their parents. Parents will always be their children's support."
"Society, schools, and parents should work together to create a good learning environment for students, so that even if they don't get into university, they won't become a person who harms society."
Han Weiping couldn't help but want to applaud Qi Tongwei. This kid was rebellious and prone to violence, but unexpectedly, he was also an idealist.
"You can go out now, let me think about it."
"Okay, Director Han."
After Qi Tongwei left, Han Weiping dialed Secretary Zhu's number, as only the top leader had the ability to coordinate this matter.
He relayed Qi Tongwei's words to Secretary Zhu verbatim.
After listening, Secretary Zhu was also deeply moved. Schools not only teach knowledge, but also shape a person's values. If bullying does not attract the attention of schools and society, it will be too late after a tragedy occurs.
"Although that kid is a bit idealistic, this issue must be taken seriously. Social conflicts don't erupt suddenly; they are the result of long-term accumulation."
"I will have the Education Bureau organize an investigation team to thoroughly investigate this matter and ensure justice is served for the victim. The Publicity Department will also follow up simultaneously, so that kid can rest assured and focus on solving the case as soon as possible."
Han Weiping was relieved. "Yes, Secretary Zhu, the entire smuggling ring is basically coming to light, and it will probably implicate a large number of corrupt officials."
"Investigate. If there are corrupt officials, investigate them thoroughly. If you need the cooperation of the Discipline Inspection Commission, tell me immediately."
"Yes, Secretary Zhu, with your words, we have nothing to fear."
"Director Han, that kid is right. We must all believe in fairness and justice, and we must make more people believe that fairness and justice exist in this society."
"Yes, Secretary Zhu, I guarantee I will complete the task."
After hanging up the phone, Han Weiping felt a wave of gloom wash over him and immediately called Qi Tongwei in.
Qi Tongwei saw that Han Weiping was a completely different person from before; as the saying goes, a happy event makes one feel refreshed.
"Director Han, you've won the lottery!"
Han Weiping pointed at Qi Tongwei, his feelings for the kid a mixture of love and hate. "The Education Bureau will set up an investigation team to get to the bottom of this. The Publicity Department will also be doing some publicity on the issue of school bullying soon. You don't need to worry about this. Focus on solving the case, understand?"
"Understood"
Qi Tongwei, with a smug look on his face, asked, "Director Han, what kind of important person is so powerful that they settled things with just a few words?"
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't know; get back to the case."
Qi Tongwei chuckled, "Director Han, to expedite the case, could we perhaps use some slightly unethical methods?"
"I don't know anything. You figure it out yourself, and you're on your own if anything goes wrong."
Qi Tongwei was very excited; this meant the leader had tacitly approved it. "Understood, Director Han, you're the best leader."
"Get lost, you're so annoying."
After leaving, Tang Guozhong reported to Qi Tongwei.
"Captain Qi, they've all confessed. The one leading them was that girl named Zhang Cuicui; she's the daughter of Zhang Baojiang, the deputy director of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau."
Qi Tongwei thought to himself, "This is interesting. Song Shuguang has been trying to investigate the smuggling gang, but the leaders of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau have been suppressing it. There must be something fishy going on here. The Anti-Smuggling Bureau is on the front line of catching smugglers. If there are smuggling gang insiders, then they will always come up empty-handed. It's like having an advantage of 80 against 60."
"I thought they'd hold out for several hours, but they chickened out so quickly. It wasn't challenging at all, and it's made me lose interest."
Tang Guozhong was speechless. You bring them back in handcuffs with such fanfare, how many people can withstand that, let alone a group of students?
"Captain Qi, there's an even more coincidental thing: Zhou Shasha is Wang Guizhi's daughter, and Wang Guizhi is the older sister you rescued after the car accident."
"It seems I'm their benefactor. Since fate has arranged it this way, I must see it through to the end. I'm wondering if we should transfer Zhou Shasha to a new school. Do you have any resources in that regard?"
"Captain Qi, I was hoping you could help me. My wife really wants to get our child into a top-tier middle school. Why don't you try talking to Director Han?"
"Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry. How's the investigation going with Yuan Gang?"
"According to your suggestion, we investigated his ancestors for eighteen generations and discovered a crucial piece of information: Yuan Gang's uncle is Vice Mayor Cao Jinliang."
