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

Chapter 246 New Breakthrough in the Nightclub Murder Case

Upon hearing this, Ye Xingguo was both angry and heartbroken, and ultimately felt that the situation was somewhat difficult to handle.

If he were to investigate all thirty-odd government leaders at once, he would surely find problems in them all, which would offend a lot of people.

"What are you planning to do, kid?"

Qi Tongwei was certainly not a fool; dismantling this underground casino had already harmed the interests of many people.

"Director Ye, I'll do as you say. Investigate however you want."

Ye Xingguo thought for a moment, then said, "You're a smart guy. The timing isn't right. It's not wise to make a big fuss, understand?"

Qi Tongwei understood, of course, that if Ye Xingguo was so cautious and deliberate, it meant that the criminals had powerful protection, and that the government leaders involved in the gambling were just small fry.

"Director Ye, then I'll downplay this and let it go. I'll write down the names of these government leaders and settle accounts with them later."

"This kid is teachable," Ye Xingguo thought with satisfaction. "This lad isn't so stubborn as to insist on taking everyone down."

"Then let's do it your way. You're definitely going to let Qiu Jinkun go this time, kid."

Qi Tongwei was very confident. "Director Ye, it's just gambling. That's not enough to establish a fatal enmity with Jin Kun. I want to gather evidence of his drug trafficking and send him to hell."

Ye Xingguo laughed heartily, "You really are a vindictive kid."

"Thank you for the compliment, Director Ye."

Ye Xingguo shook his head helplessly, "The Guangdong Daily will report on the underground casino tomorrow, so you better do a good job."

"Yes, Director Ye."

Provincial Department, Interrogation Room.

After speaking with Ye Xingguo, Qi Tongwei conducted an emergency interrogation of Liu Bing, the person in charge of the underground casino, overnight.

"Liu Bing, have you thought about what to say?"

The voice sounded so familiar, but the face was unfamiliar. Liu Bing was filled with doubt.

"I'm not talking to you, I want to see Qi Tongwei."

Qi Tongwei smiled and leisurely lit a cigarette. "Are you blind? I am Qi Tongwei."

Liu Bing was taken aback. He stared at Qi Tongwei for a moment, feeling a sense of familiarity mixed with strangeness.

Qi Tongwei tapped the table. "If you can't figure it out, then don't. Now, just answer whatever I ask you: Who's the casino's behind-the-scenes owner?"

Liu Bing still couldn't quite believe it. If it was just makeup, that would be amazing, but the voice really did sound very similar.

"I am the boss."

Cough cough cough, Qi Tongwei choked on his own cigarette.

"Damn it, where do you get the nerve to say such drunken nonsense? You don't deserve it!"

"I'm the boss, believe it or not."

Liu Bing displayed his ruthless and unscrupulous nature; he couldn't betray Lu Jin, even if it meant going to jail, he could still live a life of luxury after his release.

Qi Tongwei chuckled. "In such a big casino, do you really believe that a nobody like you could have such great abilities?"

Liu Bing felt that Qi Tongwei was clearly humiliating him. "I'm very capable. This time I've really lost. You think you can make me submit? Absolutely not. At worst, I'll be a hero again in eighteen years."

Qi Tongwei stood up, lit a cigarette, and walked over to Liu Bing, whispering in his ear, "Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up?"

Liu Bing's face turned green instantly. He had experienced the police's methods firsthand; they were worse than death. In the end, he had no choice but to confess everything.

"I have a lawyer, you can't do anything reckless."

Are you sure you can see a lawyer?

Qi Tongwei's words pierced Liu Bing's body like an ice dagger, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

"Officer, I've already confessed. What more do you want? I really am the owner of the casino."

"You little punk, you're actually quite loyal."

Qi Tongwei patted Liu Bing on the shoulder, "We can talk about the casino later. Now let's talk about the murder."

Upon hearing the word "murder," Liu Bing tensed up immediately. He enjoyed fighting and chasing girls, but he had never committed murder.

"Officer, don't talk nonsense. I'm a coward, I wouldn't dare to kill someone."

Qi Tongwei took the Cartier watch out of his pocket. "Where did you get this watch?"

Could this watch be related to a murder? Liu Bing worried he might be implicated. "Officer," he said, "I found this watch. It's a fake and not worth much."

After checking the serial number on the watch and confirming that it basically belonged to Bai Jie, Qi Tongwei patted Liu Bing's face, quite forcefully.

"You little punk, you'd better confess if you don't want to die."

Liu Bing was shocked and panicked. Would the police use him as a scapegoat?

"Officer, I really did find the watch."

Qi Tongwei sighed, "It seems you really want to die. In that case, I'll grant your wish. You'll take the blame for this murder."

Liu Bing panicked and cried out, "Officer, what murder case? I didn't kill anyone! I really didn't kill anyone!"

Qi Tongwei suddenly flew into a rage, "Damn it, you didn't kill him, so how did you get this watch?"

Liu Bing broke down. He wasn't afraid of going to jail, but he was terrified of being executed.

"Officer, I'll talk, I'll talk, I took this watch from someone else."

Qi Tongwei roared aggressively, "Tell me, who took it from?"

Liu Bing panicked, afraid the police wouldn't believe him if he told them. "Officer, I took it from Manager Dong."

"That Manager Dong"

Manager Dong of the Golden Phoenix Nightclub

This was somewhat unexpected. Bai Jie was a hostess at the Golden Phoenix Nightclub, so it shouldn't be difficult for Manager Dong to know where she lived.

Qi Tongwei breathed a sigh of relief. "Tell me in detail."

Liu Bing cursed Manager Dong's ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind. "I stole a watch from you, and you want my life."

"Manager Dong is a gambler and owes a lot of money at casinos. I took some men to his house to collect the debt, and when I saw this watch, I just grabbed it. My girlfriend liked it, so I gave it to her."

Qi Tongwei carefully observed Liu Bing's expression as he spoke, and it didn't seem like he was lying.

"What was Manager Dong's reaction when you took this watch?"

Liu Bing suddenly realized, "Officer, no wonder Manager Dong absolutely refused that day, but I still managed to snatch it from him."

Therefore, it can be basically concluded that Bai Jie's death is inextricably linked to Manager Dong.

Did he later try to get the watch back from you?

Liu Bing blurted out excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes! I think I looked for it three times, but my girlfriend took the watch home with her. Her grandfather died, and she went home for the funeral."

When did your girlfriend get back?

"Today?"

Wow, what a coincidence!

It's truly a case of coincidences.

"Alright, that's all for today. Think it over carefully. I'll leave you with this advice: confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely."

"Officer, I really didn't kill anyone. If you don't believe me, you can ask my henchman. I really did take the watch from Manager Dong."

Liu Bing now understood that the watch was definitely evidence of the murder. He was terrified just thinking about it. If his girlfriend hadn't gone home, she might have been silenced.

Qi Tongwei then quickly interrogated Liu Bing's girlfriend and henchmen, and their answers were the same as Liu Bing's. This made Manager Dong a prime suspect in the murder.

Police from the entire provincial department were busy. Many government leaders who had been to casinos without being caught were still shaken. They were glad they hadn't gone tonight, or they would have fallen into the hands of the "Living Yama" (a notorious figure in Chinese mythology).

Chenjiazhai, Chen Wenxiong's home.

They were discussing whether Ye Xingguo would use the underground casinos to launch a crackdown on organized crime.

Chen Wenxiong calmly took a sip of tea. "Everyone, don't panic. We absolutely mustn't lose our composure at this crucial moment."
