Chen Guang Rong’s expression turned agitated. He stood up, pointing at Li Wei Min and said: “What evidence do you have to prove I committed a crime?”
“I am the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade! I have served the country and been injured countless times during missions!”
“You bureaucrats just sit in your offices, enjoying air conditioning and reading newspapers, researching files. Now you’re here to arrest me?”
He turned his head, pointing at the members of the Criminal Investigation Brigade behind him and said: “Ask my team if they agree!”
All the members of the Criminal Investigation Brigade stood up, glaring angrily at Li Wei Min and the others.
Some even stood in front of Chen Guang Rong, shouting: “That’s right! You can’t just arrest people without evidence! Is this how you do things?”
“Nobody is taking our captain away today! If you want to arrest someone, arrest me!”
Li Wei Min’s heart skipped a beat. He thought, “I didn’t expect Chen Guang Rong to have the Criminal Investigation Brigade completely under his control.”
There must be a good number of corrupt police officers like Cai Jun, who have taken bribes from Chen Guang Rong.
This significantly increased the difficulty of arresting Chen Guang Rong.
At that moment, Ma Yun Bo suddenly stood up.
He strode forward to the crowd, shouting loudly: “What are you doing? You are police officers of the Municipal Bureau. You are openly obstructing the investigation team’s work. Do you have any discipline?”
Seeing that the Chief was angry, the members of the Criminal Investigation Brigade reluctantly retreated.
Ma Yun Bo turned to Li Wei Min, dissatisfied, “Team Leader Li, today is our commendation ceremony. You are arresting someone at this time. Isn’t that inappropriate?”
Li Wei Min said: “Time waits for no man. I just received the arrest warrant and rushed here. I didn’t know you were holding a commendation ceremony.”
He looked at Ma Yun Bo, “Chief Ma, we are just taking Chen Guang Rong back to assist with the investigation. If Chen Guang Rong is innocent, we will naturally release him.”
“Chief Ma, surely you will give me this face?”
Ma Yun Bo frowned.
He knew the reason for the establishment of the investigation team. It was a team directly authorized by the ministry, not only to investigate drug dealers, but also to investigate the corrupt officials who protected them.
He didn’t expect the investigation team to point their finger at Chen Guang Rong so quickly...
Ma Yun Bo looked deeply at Chen Guang Rong, then said: “Captain Chen, since the investigation team needs you to assist with their investigation, then you should go.”
“I will contact your family. Don’t worry.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Wei Min’s brows furrowed.
Chen Guang Rong, however, turned pale with fear.
Others may not know, but Chen Guang Rong knew very well that the so-called family referred to Lin Yao Dong.
This was a hint for him to weigh his words carefully, to know what he should say and what he shouldn’t say.
Under Ma Yun Bo’s coordination, the police officers finally cleared a path, allowing Li Wei Min to take Chen Guang Rong away.
The commendation ceremony ended abruptly. Everyone was given a gag order and forbidden from spreading the news.
The interrogation of Chen Guang Rong began that night in the interrogation room of the guest house.
Qi Tong Wei was still the lead interrogator.
At first, Chen Guang Rong was stubborn. He refused to speak, remaining silent to all questions.
However, after Qi Tong Wei administered a dose of truth serum.
Chen Guang Rong started to sob, revealing everything about how he became a corrupt cop.
He confessed to everything – how he protected Lin Yao Dong in his drug trafficking activities, how he committed murder to silence witnesses, and so on!
Chen Guang Rong not only confessed to all of his crimes.
He even confessed to the bribes he had received from Lin Yao Dong, his villa, and their chat logs – all the key evidence!
This was a complete act of remorse and self-redemption! He was practically begging to be sent to prison!
Once again, everyone was amazed by Qi Tong Wei’s ‘superior’ interrogation techniques!
Ma Wen and Du Li both eagerly wanted to learn from Qi Tong Wei, asking if he had learned any psychology techniques.
However, Qi Tong Wei knew better than anyone else that all this was due to the truth serum.
And now, they were down to the last dose of truth serum.
Qi Tong Wei’s previous four-step plan.
The first three steps were: arrest Huang Xiao Na, obtain the chat logs of He Kun and Lin Can from her.
Search Tang Xiao Hu’s associate’s house and get the roster.
All of these had been completed.
Huang Xiao Na was under control, and they had obtained the chat logs about hiring assassins and the list of drug dealers.
The third and fourth steps remained.
The third step had been completed halfway, Chen Guang Rong was arrested.
So next, it was time to arrest Lin Can!
Only by arresting Lin Can would Lin Yao Dong feel unprecedented pressure, accelerating his trade with Zhao Jia Liang!
Li Wei Min had already made preparations.
He found Qi Tong Wei and said: “Xiao Qi, we can’t use local police officers to arrest Lin Can this time.”
“I have applied to higher authorities to transfer police officers from other cities. My application has been approved.”
“This time, we have transferred nearly 100 police officers from the neighboring city of Xiazhou!”
“With these key pieces of evidence – the chat logs, the roster – we can thoroughly investigate the Taizhai village and arrest Lin Can!”
He looked at Qi Tong Wei, speaking earnestly, “Xiao Qi, it is a time of great change, a time for us to make a difference.”
“You have just been promoted to first-level police superintendent, and you are now the deputy captain of the drug enforcement team. Your rank is already high enough.”
“Besides, you have proven your ability in the past few operations!”
“Therefore, I have decided to put you in charge, to lead the team to search Taizhai village and arrest Lin Can. Can you complete the mission?”
Qi Tong Wei realized that Li Wei Min was intentionally giving him this credit, allowing him to fire the first shot in the crackdown on the Taizhai drug den.
This would allow him to establish himself in the police system of Dongshan, even in the entire Funan province, and ride the fast track to promotion!
In fact, after being transferred to Dongshan and leaving Liang Qun Feng’s sphere of influence in Handong province.
No one could stop Qi Tong Wei’s upward mobility anymore. His promotion speed was already skyrocketing! There was no limit!
But he still acknowledged Li Wei Min’s kindness.
Qi Tong Wei saluted Li Wei Min and said resolutely, “Report to Team Leader Li, I guarantee to complete the mission!”
