Chapter 130 The Backdoor to Justice
Holy crap, it seems like the uncle is using his nephew as a front man.
"This information is very important. I'll report it to Director Han first."
Qi Tongwei immediately ran to Han Weiping's office and told him the news.
Han Weiping was shocked, but also looked worried.
"Vice Mayor Cao's father is a veteran revolutionary. We must be very careful about this matter. We must not act recklessly without solid evidence, and even if we find evidence, we still cannot act recklessly. Do you understand?"
Qi Tongwei greatly respected the revolutionary predecessors, who had all been through the baptism of war. But as for their descendants, that was another matter entirely. Just because one father was a hero doesn't mean his son will be a hero.
"I understand, Director Han. I'm not so bold as to just run off and arrest a deputy mayor."
"Just keep it a secret, that's good for you."
"Yes, Director Han, I'd like to help that bullied student transfer to another school. I'd like to ask for your help."
Han Weiping jokingly said, "You're such a righteous guy, but even you have to resort to back channels sometimes."
Qi Tongwei chuckled, "Director Han, I've always used the back door of justice."
"You're just good at making excuses. Let me think about it. Now you can leave."
"Yes, Director Han."
After Qi Tongwei left, Han Weiping immediately called Secretary Zhu to explain the important situation.
On the phone, Secretary Zhu pondered for a moment, then said, "Investigate thoroughly. No matter who committed the crime, even if their father or sister had great achievements, there's no such thing as a get-out-of-jail-free card. But the evidence must be irrefutable."
"Yes, Secretary Zhu."
With the order from the top leader, Han Weiping breathed a sigh of relief. Investigating a deputy mayor was a lot of pressure for him, especially since the deputy mayor's father was a veteran revolutionary.
Tang Guozhong reported, "Captain Qi, what should we do with those students?"
"Detain them for a few days to teach these little rascals a lesson and make them remember. The Education Bureau will organize an investigation team to investigate. If they come to demand their release, hand them over to them."
Tang Guozhong was surprised. How much power must this have? The Education Bureau intervened in the investigation so quickly. He couldn't help but want to give Qi Tongwei a thumbs up.
"Captain Qi, what about the Yang brothers?"
How did they show their remorse?
"They were quite cooperative, especially the older brother; the younger brother seemed a bit resentful."
"Then let the older brother go first. We can't just let the younger brother get away with bringing people to the school like this. Detain him for a few days to shut him up."
Tang Guozhong discovered that Qi Tongwei also used his power without hesitation.
"Okay, Captain Qi, here's some information on transportation companies throughout the city."
Qi Tongwei took the document and glanced at it.
"Old Tang, is any of Kaihui Trading's shipping companies involved here?"
"No, Kaihui Trading has a transportation fleet of about ten vehicles. This Sifang Transportation Company is under the control of Huang Liansheng, the 'Fabric King'."
"Thank you for your hard work, comrades. Once the case is solved, I'll definitely ask Director Han to apply for a bonus for everyone."
"Thank you, Captain Qi. I'll have Tian Xiaobing take Zhou Shasha to the hospital."
"I'll deliver it; I can go check on that lady while I'm at it."
"Ok"
A short while later, Qi Tongwei drove Zhou Shasha to the hospital.
"Sasha, I want to change your school. It's not that the police officers are afraid of them, it's just that the rumors will affect your studies."
"Thank you, officer, but no need. I can manage on my own."
This experience of being bullied made Zhou Shasha realize that her father was gone, and she needed to work hard to become stronger so that she could protect her mother in the future.
"Okay, if you change your mind, feel free to contact me anytime. I'll leave you my phone number later."
"Thank you, police officer."
Upon arriving at the hospital, Zhou Shasha underwent a full examination and found nothing seriously wrong, except for some bruises on her face.
Qi Tongwei led Zhou Shasha into Wang Guizhi's ward, and Wang Guizhi was very excited.
"Officer, it's you! Thank you so much. I'll return your medical expenses to you."
"Sister, don't worry, the medical expenses are a small matter. I have something to tell you now, but don't get too agitated after hearing it."
Wang Guizhi became nervous; she didn't even notice the injury on her daughter's face.
Qi Tongwei glanced at Zhou Shasha. Some children were bullied by their classmates at school but didn't have the courage to tell their parents, which ultimately led to tragedy.
"Big sister, your daughter..."
Qi Tongwei gave a brief account of the situation, and Wang Guizhi listened with tears in her eyes. The hardships of life without a husband had not broken her; her daughter was her whole life, and she was willing to endure any hardship for her daughter.
"Thank you, officer. I really don't know how to thank you enough."
Qi Tongwei can understand what it means to be a parent. Every child is a parent's precious treasure, and the pain felt by a parent when their child is hit is felt by the parent.
"Sister, the Education Bureau has launched an investigation and will definitely get justice for your daughter. Although it can't erase the psychological damage to Sasha, people always have to look forward. Life isn't always smooth sailing, right?"
Wang Guizhi wiped away her tears, rallied her spirits, and said, "The officer is right. My daughter and I should both look forward. Thank you so much."
"Alright, I've left Sasha a phone number. She can contact me anytime if she needs anything. Now that I've taken on this, I'll see it through to the end."
"Thank you, officer. I'll return the medical expenses to you now. I'll have Sasha go with you to get the money."
"Sister, no rush, I have a case to handle, so I'll be going now."
"Officer, you go ahead with your work. I'll bring the money to you as soon as I'm discharged from the hospital."
"Okay, big sister, goodbye Sasha."
Goodbye, police officer!
After Qi Tongwei left, Zhou Shasha recounted the events of the morning in detail, her eyes filled with admiration.
Wang Guizhi thought about it for a while, then asked, "Sasha, do you trust this Officer Qi?"
Zhou Shasha understood what her mother meant. Her father's situation was a source of great distress for her mother. Her father's voice and smile kept lingering in her mind. She would often think of the good things about her father, such as flying kites with him, being carefree and unrestrained, and how he would buy her snacks every day when he came home. The happiness of that family of three made her feel very painful when she thought about it. As a result, she was unable to concentrate on her studies, which led to her grades getting worse and worse.
Zhou Shasha's father, Zhou Dequan, was burned to death by gasoline a year ago. He was a truck driver. According to the police investigation, he accidentally ignited a gasoline can while smoking, which caused Zhou Dequan to be burned to death. What Wang Guizhi could not accept was that the body was cremated without the family's permission. Her husband left in the morning and she received a box of ashes in the evening.
Therefore, she kept petitioning, refusing to believe that her husband had been burned to death, and demanding that the police find out the truth. In the end, she even lost her job at the Shanghai Oil and Gas Group, and her family suddenly fell into difficulties.
Six months ago, a group of thugs on motorcycles stopped the mother and daughter, warning her that if she dared to petition again, they would sell her daughter to a nightclub to work as a prostitute. For her daughter's safety, she had no choice but to give up.
"Mom, I believe in Officer Qi. He's the embodiment of justice. If he investigates, he'll definitely find out the truth about Dad's death."
Wang Guizhi still dared not gamble; her daughter was her life now, and the thought of those thugs on motorcycles terrified her.
