Chapter 484: The Director Was Assassinated
Hao Shizhong said worriedly on the other end of the phone: "Tongwei, will something happen?
The director's identity is rather special. He is now with that mysterious man, and we have lost track of them.
We have all seen the methods of those criminals. They are cruel and ruthless and will do anything to achieve their goals.
The director is being manipulated by them, and under such circumstances, it's hard to say what outrageous things they might do."
Hao Shizhong's voice was full of worry, and he paced back and forth in the room with heavy steps.
Qi Tongwei could hear Hao Shizhong's worry, and he also knew the seriousness of the matter.
He shook his head slightly. Although Hao Shizhong couldn't see his movements, he still said calmly, "It's hard to say.
The director is now like a chess piece placed on the edge of danger, and his fate is closely linked to the direction of the entire incident.
What we can do now is to find clues from other sources as quickly as possible and not pin all our hopes on tracking them."
All the clues he had at hand quickly flashed through Qi Tongwei's mind, from the interrogation of the human traffickers, to the director's suspicious behavior, and now to the mysterious Long Can.
After hearing what Qi Tongwei said on the other end of the phone, Hao Shizhong calmed down a little and said, "Tongwei, you are right.
So what should we do now?
Where is the best place to start?"
Qi Tongwei thought for a moment, then said, "Commander, I'm investigating a mysterious man who may be related to this matter.
You can review the director's interpersonal relationships again to see if you can find some clues that we have previously overlooked.
We will work on both fronts to get to the bottom of this case as quickly as possible."
Hao Shizhong nodded and said firmly: “Okay, Tongwei.
Then we will proceed according to this plan.”
A moment later, the property manager came back.
He walked hurriedly, with an anxious look on his face.
He walked up to Qi Tongwei and said with a gasp, "No one is here. I called for a long time but didn't see anyone. He must have gone out."
As the property manager spoke, he returned the chip to Qi Tongwei. The chip was like a hot potato in his hand and he was eager to get rid of it.
Then he added, "I'll continue to keep an eye on him for you. If he comes back, I'll contact you as soon as possible."
Qi Tongwei nodded, he knew that this was the only way now.
So Qi Tongwei turned around and left.
Qi Tongwei was driving the car steadily on the road.
He was still thinking about Long Can.
Just when he was halfway through the drive, the quiet atmosphere in the car was suddenly broken by a rapid ring of the phone.
Qi Tongwei glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was a call from the police station.
His heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came over him.
He answered the phone and heard the deputy captain's panicked voice. The other end of the line seemed to be in chaos, with all kinds of noisy sounds intertwined, including people shouting and the sound of things colliding.
Qi Tongwei frowned and said calmly, "Tell me what you have to say slowly."
When the other party heard Qi Tongwei's voice, it was like he had grabbed a life-saving straw, but he was still very panicked.
He suddenly said: "Chief Qi, something big has happened. Our director, our director..."
The deputy captain's voice was trembling and he couldn't speak clearly.
Qi Tongwei frowned, his hands tightly gripped the steering wheel, and he was suddenly overwhelmed by a bad premonition.
He raised his voice and asked anxiously, "What happened to the director?"
There was worry in his eyes. Although the chief was a suspect, he was an important figure in the police station after all. His safety now might be related to the direction of the entire case.
The deputy captain took a deep breath on the other end of the phone, as if trying to calm himself down, and then said: "Our director is in trouble and is on his way to the hospital!"
The voice on the other end of the phone was obviously panicked. Qi Tongwei was stunned for a moment. His body stiffened slightly and his eyes widened instantly.
He asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
The other party's voice was hesitant and stammering, as if he was frightened out of his wits by what was happening in front of him.
"Which hospital is he being sent to now?"
Qi Tongwei asked anxiously, his brows tightly locked together, forming a deep "Chuan" character.
"It's the First People's Hospital, Chief Qi. When we found the director, he was still breathing, so we quickly called an ambulance to send him there."
The other party finally told the general situation of the matter and the information about the hospital.
Qi Tongwei frowned, his heart full of doubts and worries.
It had only been half an hour since the director left the military base, and something had already happened.
Various possibilities flashed through his mind quickly. Could it be that those people realized that something was wrong with him and decided to take action?
Qi Tongwei knew that the matter the director was involved in was by no means simple, and that there were complicated interests and power conflicts behind it.
Those who hide in the dark may resort to any means necessary to achieve their goals.
If the director is really targeted by them, then this matter will become more complicated and dangerous.
While thinking, Qi Tongwei quickly adjusted his direction and rushed towards the First People's Hospital.
Qi Tongwei instructed the police on the phone to protect the crime scene. His voice was steady and serious, with unquestionable majesty.
He said, "Don't let anyone destroy the scene before I arrive. Every detail could be a key clue. I'll tell you the details once I get to the hospital."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, stepped on the accelerator, and sped towards the hospital.
The car was driving fast on the road, causing a whistling sound in the wind.
After driving for a while, suddenly, a black car flashed past.
Qi Tongwei's eyes were subconsciously drawn to the car, and alarm bells suddenly rang in his mind.
The car's shape, color, and unique temperament all made him feel extremely familiar.
Qi Tongwei's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and he almost immediately realized that this car was Long Can's car.
His eyes were fixed on the black car that was moving away, especially at the moment when the two cars crossed each other, he caught a glimpse of a pair of eyes that flashed by through the car window.
Even through the thick lenses of the glasses, one could see the fierce murderous intent in those eyes, like two cold daggers, piercing straight into people's hearts.
Qi Tongwei's body shook slightly, and a strong intuition told him that Long Can's appearance here was no accident.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind quickly. Was it Long Can who drove to pick up the director personally just now?
He is definitely responsible for the director’s accident!
Qi Tongwei's hands unconsciously tightened around the steering wheel. He knew that this unexpected discovery might make the entire case more complicated, but it could also be an important breakthrough in uncovering the truth.
Qi Tongwei wanted to turn around immediately to chase Long Can's black car. His eyes were filled with anxiety and regret.
However, the reality made him very helpless, as there was only a U-turn intersection one kilometer ahead on this road.
Qi Tongwei looked at the congested traffic ahead and felt extremely anxious.
There were a lot of cars on the road at this time, and each car was moving slowly like a dense swarm of ants.
If Qi Tongwei abandoned his car and ran over, he would be running recklessly in the traffic and a car accident would be inevitable.
He was well aware that under such traffic conditions, any reckless action could lead to serious consequences, not only endangering his own life, but also causing casualties among innocent people.
Qi Tongwei gritted his teeth and could only watch the car getting farther and farther away from him.
He stepped hard on the accelerator, hoping to reach the intersection where he could turn around as soon as possible.
The car made a low roar and accelerated forward with difficulty in the traffic.
However, despite his best efforts, the black car disappeared from his sight again.
Qi Tongwei was so angry that he slammed the steering wheel. His face flushed red with anger and he cursed loudly: "Damn it! He actually let someone escape right under my nose!"
His voice was full of reluctance and self-blame. He knew that this might be a very crucial clue, but it just slipped away.
Qi Tongwei slammed the steering wheel hard again, feeling very upset.
He kept blaming himself in his heart, wondering why he hadn't paid more attention to the surrounding road conditions and why he hadn't predicted this situation in advance.
But he also understood that regretting it now would be useless.
Qi Tongwei knew that the situation on the director's side was also very urgent, and he couldn't lose his composure because of this mistake.
So, he turned his head and looked towards the hospital again, his eyes regained their determination. He would first go to the hospital to understand the director's condition, and then look for clues from other aspects. He must find this mysterious Long Can and uncover the truth hidden behind it.
Qi Tongwei rushed to the hospital like lightning.
This hospital is quite large in the local area. On weekdays, there are people coming and going, and medical staff are busy shuttling between various departments.
The director was sent to Dean Song's hospital. Dean Song was shocked when he learned that it was the director who was in trouble.
He was well aware of the director's special status and that this matter was of no trivial importance.
So he made a prompt decision and quickly blocked the news, allowing only a few trusted medical staff to participate in the treatment.
Director Song was personally guarding outside the operating room door. His expression was serious and solemn, and his eyes were fixed on the tightly closed door of the operating room, as if he wanted to see through the door to check the treatment situation inside.
At this time, he saw Qi Tongwei rushing over.
Dean Song was a little surprised at first, after all, Qi Tongwei's appearance was a bit sudden, but he immediately returned to normal. After all, in such an emergency situation, it would be good to have someone who can take charge.
Dean Song walked towards Qi Tongwei. His steps were a little heavy, and every step was filled with concern for the director's injury.
Walking up to Qi Tongwei, Dean Song sighed softly and said, "Chief Qi, the director's condition is not optimistic."
