Rebirth of Minister Qi

After two minutes of beating, the two hooligans had already fallen to the ground groaning. In fact, they were very thick-skinned. In the past, they stole from other people's homes to make a living, and when they were caught by passers-by, they were beaten even harder than this. The police would hold back a little and be cautious when beating people. Those passers-by really used them as an outlet to vent their anger. They even wanted to lift up the stone pillars on the roadside and smash them.

"Where is the kid you kidnapped from No. 1 Middle School?"

Huang Liangyong was really anxious. Such an important case was brought up in front of so many underage children, and he could not even take the basic principle of confidentiality into consideration.

"I don't know. He probably went home by himself. We just took him for a while."

Even after being beaten like this, the two guys were still stubborn. The parents over there called one after another urging them. They also mobilized the whole village to come out and search for them, but it was almost eight o'clock in the evening and there was still no news. Things were getting worse and worse.

Huang Liangyong stood up, concealing the anxiety on his face, and directed his men.

"Take him away and bring him back for questioning."

Then he turned and left. Just as he was about to get into the car, an auxiliary police officer suddenly came over and stopped Huang Liangyong.

"Captain, a kid said he heard what these two guys said."

Huang Liangyong got out of the car immediately and went to a corner to prevent the child from being seen by his companions.

"Uncle police, are you looking for a child from No. 1 Middle School who was taken away by them on a motorcycle?"

The child who came over was a little chubby and dressed decently. It seemed that he was from a wealthy family.

"Yeah, you know what?"

The little fat boy thought about it, then mustered up the courage to speak.

"Uncle police, can you do me a favor? I am a fourth grader in a primary school, and some fifth graders said they were going to beat me up tomorrow.

Help me beat them up, and I'll tell you what I heard."

Huang Liangyong was amused by the child's innocence, which alleviated some of his anxiety.

"No problem, as long as you help your uncle, no one will dare to bully you in the future."

The little fat boy was still grabbing his fingers and mustered up the courage to speak.

“The two thugs and another middle school student took the high school student to a wooded area, and they said they buried him in the woods there.

When I was going home to get money to play, I saw two of their motorcycles going towards the back mountain, with four people on them.

When they came back, it was just the two of them riding a bike, and they talked about it themselves while playing games.

They said that the high school student was much more ruthless than them."

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Liangyong felt a chill in his heart. The worst situation had come.

He wasn't in the mood to say anything to the kid. He knew that woods and everyone nearby knew there was a cave over there, so he just ran straight towards the car.

"Drive directly to the woods behind a certain village."

The large group of people headed towards the mountain in the middle of the night.

..........

When Qi Tongwei received the news, it was already 8:40 in the evening. He was sitting in his dormitory, perfecting the manuscript of the third volume.

"Hello, I'm Qi Tongwei. What's the matter? What did you say?"

The worst situation really happened. After the three gangsters took the child away, they beat him to death in the woods behind the mountain near a cave. They smashed him to death with big rocks, and then dug a hole with a shovel and buried him directly.

When Huang Liangyong saw the filled-in hole, he was immediately disappointed. He called the criminal investigation and forensic department of the branch and asked them to come over. At the same time, he personally called Chen Guangwei, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, to report the situation. Chen Guangwei then called Qi Tongwei, saying that underage murder was another major case.

Qi Tongwei was still dressed and talking on the phone with the speaker on.

"Have you caught the high school student who committed the murder? Take his family and arrest them together, and interrogate them thoroughly.

Were they aware of it? Were they involved?

Do the family members know about this?"

Qi Tongwei felt a little annoyed when he heard the news he had just learned from the other end of the phone.

You have to know that a village here is generally the product of a large family, with all the people having the same surname and clan. Each village has its own ancestral hall, and just like in the TV series, there will be a first and second wife in Tazhai Village.

But in general, they are quite united to the outside world. A few years ago, everyone was fighting for water sources for farmland, and people of all ages in the village would come out to fight. Although there are more economic sources now and there is less water to fight about, when encountering such things, if they are not handled properly, it will become a mass incident.

This is the mass incident that the local government hates the most. It’s not so bad now as it’s late at night.

Otherwise, there are several newspaper and television offices in Jiangbei Street alone. They smelled the smell and came over to pull the Public Security Bureau. I can't help but ask.

There was no other way. As the director, he could only put maintaining stability first and call his superiors to report first.

"District Chief, have you taken a break?"

Jin Xinkai across the street was still working overtime in the High-tech Zone Management Committee. There were more things going on here than he could imagine.

"What's wrong, Tongwei, why are you speaking in that tone?"

“District Head, a case occurred at Shangqiao No. 1 Middle School where a student had a conflict with his deskmate.

The classmate found two thugs, took the man to the woods on the hillside, beat him to death with stones and buried him.

The parents of the students have been searching for the whole night, and the whole village has been mobilized. Now with this result, there is a high possibility of a big uproar."

Jin Xinkai stood up from his chair suddenly.

"Chief Qi, I order you to take control of the scene immediately and take the suspect's family into protective custody.

At the same time, the Shangqiao Sub-district Office was notified and asked to contact the village cadres to appease the people on the spot.

Your bureau must immediately take control of the situation."

Jin Xinkai didn't say anything. He didn't know whether it was appropriate for him to go to the scene at this time, but there were people around him.

But Qi Tongwei could understand what he meant.

"Yes, District Chief, I promise to complete the task. Leave this matter to me. I will go to the district government to report to you tomorrow morning."

The meaning is very clear. This place may be a quagmire. It's late at night. Who knows you as the district chief? A young man passing by may be beaten up. Stay in the district and you will have news tomorrow morning.

With a heavy heart, Qi Tongwei found his subordinate who was on duty and went to the crime scene together.

Most of the police officers on duty came over, including all the members of the Criminal Investigation Brigade who were urgently called back. A total of fifty or sixty people went to the scene together.

When everyone arrived, before the cordon was set up, sounds were heard from the roadside and a large number of people arrived. Qi Tongwei knew that they might be the victim's family members and people from the same village. He could only ask his subordinates to turn on the lights of all parked cars and illuminate the searchlights they brought.

"People from Shangqiao Police Station will go to the periphery to stop the crowd and calm them down. The Criminal Investigation Team and the forensic doctors will go inside."
