I really don't want to be an official if I transmigrate into Qi Tongwei's life.

Chapter 74 Victims of High-Level Power Struggle

Qi Tongwei touched the bald man's head; he wasn't used to touching hair.

"Big Baldy, now you believe it? Lu Peng died a horrible death. He had over 100 stab wounds, his intestines were spilling out, and his heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and lungs were all mangled. My colleagues all vomited from seeing it."

After saying that, Qi Tongwei slurped up a mouthful of noodles.

Zhang Zheng and Zhao Donglai felt unwell, and the bald man immediately vomited.

Qi Tongwei quickly ran out. "Bald guy, fuck your grandpa! I'm eating noodles!"

Zhao Donglai immediately used a tissue to wipe the bald man's mouth.

A moment later, Qi Tongwei threw away his instant noodles and came in.

He's about to unleash his verbal attacks once again.

"Big Baldy, your older brother is dead. It wasn't an accident; he was murdered to silence him."

"The people who killed him are probably afraid that your older brother will implicate them."

Who exactly are they?

Qi Tongwei paused for a moment, then suddenly became very excited.

"They are those corrupt officials and sycophants."

"They are the manipulators hiding behind the scenes."

"You and your older brother risked your lives for them, and in the end, you got nothing in return."

"You're just a worthless piece of trash. Your older brother's dead, what are you afraid of?"

"If I were you, I'd take them all down with me."

"Your brother has been so good to you, don't you want to avenge him?"

"Your motivation to live is to avenge your elder brother."

"Revenge, understand?"

Qi Tongwei shouted it out in one breath, filled with righteous indignation, and felt fucking awesome.

Zhang Zheng and Zhao Donglai were shocked again; if Qi Tongwei committed a crime, it would be even more terrifying.

This ability to incite unrest, if thrown into Africa, would immediately ignite a war of unification fought by warlords.

The word "revenge" moved the bald man.

My brother died such a tragic death; as his brothers, we can't let him die in vain.

I said

Qi Tongwei breathed a sigh of relief. His performance hadn't been in vain. If he kept acting like this, he would have to apply to the film academy.

"Your older brother gave money to those people."

"Dean Guo, Director Zheng, the government's driver and secretary, and the mayor's wife."

Having caught a big fish, Qi Tongwei quickly asked, "That mayor's wife?"

Mayor Wen

How much money was given?

"They gave it to me three times, 100,000 each time."

With Mayor Wen about to retire, Qi Tongwei has essentially given Wen Zhengrong a hand, allowing him to take over the position ahead of schedule.

"Does the public security brigade know you're collecting protection money?"

"I know, Ji Yunhao and Yang Ming both accepted money."

The bald man has completely confessed; his elder brother is dead, and he wants more people to be buried with him.

"There's a man named Old Qiu behind my eldest brother, and he listens to him a lot."

"What's your name? How old are you? What do you look like?"

"Only my eldest brother has met him. We only communicate with him by phone. This old Qiu is incredibly resourceful; it seems he knows everything that's happening in Jingzhou."

Qi Tongwei chuckled to himself, "A mysterious mastermind behind the scenes, interesting."

Zhang Zheng quickly informed He Aijun of the interrogation results. Since it involved Mayor Wen, who was about to retire, He Aijun was in a difficult position.

"You've worked hard. Go home and rest tonight. This matter must be kept secret."

"Yes, Director He."

Everyone knows that this involves such a high-ranking leader, so even the leader is in a dilemma.

The mayor of Jingzhou, the provincial capital, is a member of the provincial party committee standing committee.

He Aijun smoked for a while, then called Wen Zhengrong and explained the situation.

Wen Zhengrong felt a moment of surprise, but the thought of her old leader's reputation being ruined in his later years left her feeling uneasy.

We're all in the same boat, so let's hope for a safe landing.

"Besides this one person's testimony, are there any other people who have accused Mayor Wen?"

"Not at the moment," He Aijun replied truthfully.

Wen Zhengrong breathed a sigh of relief. "We must not leak this information until the matter is fully investigated. Mayor Wen has made significant contributions to Jingzhou; we cannot rely on the criminals' one-sided account."

"Yes, Mayor Wen."

"Does the prosecutor's office know?"

"Understood, because it was Qi Tongwei who found out."

"It's that kid again? Have you run out of manpower at the police station?"

Wen Zhengrong was a little angry.

"Mayor Wen, this kid is indeed a master interrogator."

With He Aijun so protective, Wen Zhengrong didn't bother to argue.

"Tell that kid, if he dares to leak this to the newspapers before we've investigated properly, I'll make him regret it."

"Yes, Mayor Wen, I guarantee it won't happen."

After hanging up the phone, He Aijun breathed a sigh of relief. Such a big secret still needed the help of his superiors to cover it up.

By employing Qi Tongwei, the Provincial Procuratorate will realize that the pressure cannot be placed solely on him.

The next day at work, Qi Tongwei told Ji Changming about the situation.

Ji Changming really wanted to cover his ears and not listen to this kid's report.

The retiring mayor, you found out that someone's wife accepted money, you're showing no respect at all, where is your sense of organization and discipline?

"Tell me, what are we going to do about this? Are we just going to summon the mayor's wife based on the criminal's one-sided testimony?"

Qi Tongwei knew that Ji Changming was once again giving him the runaround.

"The principle of 'no punishment for high-ranking officials' no longer applies in this new society. In my opinion, those who should be arrested must be arrested, and those who should be interrogated must be interrogated."

Ji Changming was furious with him.

"You've got some nerve, kid. You can sit here in my seat."

Qi Tongwei smiled ingratiatingly, "Prosecutor Ji, I can't sit in your position. Anyway, now we've caught both the flies and the tigers. Our procuratorate has a supervisory responsibility; we're not just for show."

Ji Changming was being put on the spot by Qi Tongwei, feeling frustrated. In Qi Tongwei's eyes, he was just a nobody.

"Who do you think you can supervise, kid? The mayor, the municipal party secretary, or the governor? The provincial party secretary? I think you really don't know your place."

Just as Qi Tongwei was about to retort, three policemen suddenly entered from outside.

"Hello, Prosecutor Ji, this is Fang Yonghui, the head of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Provincial Public Security Department. Qi Tongwei is suspected of robbery of a gun and intentional homicide. This is the arrest warrant."

Ji Changming's vision went black. It's over, this kid has gotten himself into big trouble.

"Captain Fang, is there some misunderstanding? The Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau has already investigated Qi Tongwei's shooting and there are no problems."

Fang Yonghui's face was serious. "Prosecutor Ji, whether Qi Tongwei intentionally committed murder or not, our provincial department will investigate thoroughly. Please cooperate."

Ji Changming was worried that Qi Tongwei would act impulsively. "Qi Tongwei, cooperate fully with the provincial department's investigation. Don't feel guilty, understand?"

Qi Tongwei hadn't expected his opponent to react so quickly; power is indeed a fascinating thing.

"Understood, Mr. Ji. The innocent have nothing to fear; you don't need to worry about me."

A policeman took out handcuffs. "Comrade Qi Tongwei, please cooperate."

Qi Tongwei reached out and put the silver bracelet on again.

Two police officers escorted Qi Tongwei out, causing an uproar at the procuratorate. Intentional homicide is punishable by death.

Colleagues started discussing it.

"Intentional homicide? That's an extremely serious charge."

"Jinhao Nightclub has implicated many leaders; this kid has offended too many people."

"Sigh, just think about those poor female workers in the garment factory, those people are fucking awful."

"Now that the owner of Jinhao Nightclub is dead and his ledgers are gone, it's clearly a case of murder to cover it up."

"Don't say anything that might damage the leader's image or undermine unity."

"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down; this kid'll be lucky to escape with his life."

"In my opinion, he'll be expelled from the Party, dismissed from his public office, and probably have to spend several years in jail. His promising future will be ruined just like that."

"Not necessarily. I heard this kid has connections with the provincial party secretary."

"I reckon it's a power struggle at the top, and this kid's become the scapegoat."
