Chapter 252 The Murderer is Looping in the Nightclub
Yu Haichao knocked and entered. "Boss, everyone's ready. Is there anything else you need?"
The underground casino was destroyed, and as a precaution, Lu Jin went into hiding for the time being. Yu Haichao is now in charge of the Golden Phoenix Nightclub.
Qiu Jinkun stood up, his face arrogant. "Just wait and see, come with me and we'll see what that little cop is like."
"Yes, boss"
Yu Haichao glanced at Zuo Dao. Rumor had it that his knife was exceptionally fast, so it seemed that he was the one who killed Chen Xiaogou.
Zuo Dao also glanced at Yu Haichao. He had a bad feeling about this man; it was just a gut feeling.
Yu Haichao indulged in everything except drug use, including drinking, gambling, and prostitution. For the sake of a brighter future, he was willing to fall into the abyss.
After intimidating the customers, Wu Dali continued to guard the gate, while Qi Tongwei led his men to search from the rooftop down.
"Qizhi, no."
"Qizhi, no."
"Qizhi, no."
They searched every corner of the rooftop but found no trace of the murderer.
Qi Tongwei left two policemen with guns on the rooftop, and ordered them to search each private room one by one as they went downstairs.
"Remember, safety first. The killer is extremely vicious; you can shoot him at any time without asking for permission."
"Yes, Qizhi."
Throughout Lan Ying's years as a police officer, her superiors always instructed her not to fire her weapon lightly, but Qi Tongwei was not afraid to take responsibility and encouraged his subordinates to fire.
"Chief Qi, the entire building is sealed off. We don't have enough manpower. Should we wait for Chief Chen to arrive before searching for the murderer?"
Qi Tongwei thought about it and agreed with Lan Ying's point. "Alright, let's go meet Qiu Jinkun. We've been fighting for so long, but we haven't even met in person yet, which is a bit of a shame."
Lan Ying was speechless. What was there to regret about a gang leader?
"Yes, Qizhi."
Qi Tongwei led his men to Qiu Jinkun's office, arrogantly kicking the door open. "You dared to assassinate me? This kick is too lenient."
Besides Qiu Jinkun, Yu Haichao stood to one side of the office with seven or eight security guards, all holding rubber batons. Zuo Dao was nowhere to be seen.
"Boss Qiu, we've finally met."
Damn it, they're too arrogant and presumptuous. Qiu Jinkun was momentarily stunned. Who the hell is in the underworld?
"Officer, what are you doing? I'm just opening my shop to run a business legally. You're abusing your power; this is illegal."
Qi Tongwei chuckled, took out a cigarette, and lit it. "Boss Qiu, that's the biggest joke I've heard all year."
Qiu Jinkun's anger surged. "Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that? The girls at my nightclub earn more in one night than you make in a year!"
Qi Tongwei pulled out a chair and sat down. Since the murderer was trapped inside the nightclub, he wasn't the one who should be worried.
"Boss Qiu, isn't the underground casino beneath the Pretty Girl Dance Hall yours?"
"To kill someone is to destroy their spirit." These words were like rubbing salt into Qiu Jinkun's wounds, enraging him so much that he flew into a rage and pointed angrily at Qi Tongwei.
"You lowly cop, don't you dare slander me. Every penny I've earned has been clean."
Qi Tongwei deliberately flicked his cigarette ash onto the desk and blew it into Qiu Jinkun's face.
Fuck your mother!
Qiu Jinkun was so anxious that he stood up abruptly. He had gotten dust in one eye and was in excruciating pain, almost causing the security guards to hit him.
"Boss Qiu, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to."
Qi Tongwei stood up and pretended to apologize. How despicable and deserving of a beating! Even Lan Ying shook her head when she saw it.
The police officers present were trying to suppress their laughter; their superior was really too cunning.
The security guards gripped their rubber batons, their faces burning with rage. "Our boss pays us wages, so what if we're police? They can just beat us to death with a single word."
Yu Haichao could only share the anger with the security guards, but secretly he was overjoyed; no one had ever dared to play such a trick on Qiu Jinkun.
Qiu Jinkun blinked frantically, tears streaming down his face. It was quite a rare sight to see a gang leader shedding tears.
"Qi Tongwei, what the hell do you want? Do you think I'm easy to talk to?"
Qi Tongwei handed Qiu Jinkun a tissue in a friendly manner, "Boss Qiu, you almost had me killed by your men, so tell me, what should I do?"
Qiu Jinkun didn't take the tissue. It turned out this kid knew everything. He was immediately filled with murderous intent. Being targeted by a policeman was not a good thing. Only by killing him could he feel at ease.
"Qi Tongwei, you're a policeman, not one of those street hustlers who scam people out of food and drink. You have to be responsible for your words, or I'll report you to the Inspectorate."
Qi Tongwei feigned surprise and sneered, "Wow, Boss Qiu is quite cultured, he even knows about the Inspectorate. Tell me, can the Director of the Public Security Bureau manage the Inspectorate?"
This is a blatant threat to rights.
Qiu Jinkun never expected a policeman to say such a thing. Damn it, isn't that a line from the underworld?
The police officers present pretended not to hear; provincial leaders were not people they could discuss.
Lan Ying was used to it; after all, Qi Tongwei always said things that were sure to shock and provoke.
Power is truly a double-edged sword. When it is in the hands of a righteous person, it is used to rid the people of harm.
If it falls into the hands of corrupt officials, they will end up like Yu Haichao, going from being heroes to prisoners.
Everyone says that power should be caged, but human nature is such that those with power become greedy and those with money become bad. Who can control human nature?
boom.
A sudden gunshot shattered the eerie atmosphere in the office.
Qi Tongwei rushed to the window and saw a man in a black suit wearing a mask descending from the third floor to the second floor via a rope.
The gunshot was fired by the policeman who was guarding downstairs. He quickly pulled out his pistol and shot the rope with one shot. Damn it, may you fall to your death, you son of a bitch.
The man in the black suit and mask is Zuo Dao. It seems he underestimated the police's capabilities and was overconfident.
The moment the rope snapped, he grabbed the outer edge of the second floor and jumped into the private room. If he had fallen from the second floor, he would have been in serious trouble.
"Follow me, everyone."
Qi Tongwei shouted and, as swift as a rabbit, rushed out of the office in three steps.
Lan Ying quickly followed, but in an instant, Qi Tongwei had already left her more than ten meters behind—this was definitely human speed.
Wu Dali reacted quickly. Qi Tongwei had instructed him to immediately open the door and let the guests out once the gunshot was fired, and then quickly guard the stairwell to prevent the murderer from taking hostages and causing a major disaster.
The customer was so scared that he ran faster than a rabbit. He was going to lose his life and everything. The prostitute was terrified and her private parts were exposed. She ran away as fast as she could, even though she was wearing high heels.
Qi Tongwei ran up to the second floor as fast as he could, yelling, "You little bastard, you can't escape! Grandpa's going to kill you today!"
Zuo Dao regretted not bringing a gun. The downstairs area was already in chaos, and if he shot a customer, it would definitely make the police hesitant.
Of course, Zuo Dao is used to using knives and looks down on guns; he can only blame himself for being overconfident.
His only chance of survival now was to escape in the chaos. He didn't care about the height anymore, so he jumped from the second floor onto the roof of the car, leaving a large dent in the Mercedes.
The police officers guarding downstairs were afraid of hurting innocent people, so they dared not fire their guns and could only watch helplessly as Zuo Dao tumbled and crawled into the crowd, making the surrounding area even more chaotic.
Qi Tongwei steeled himself and jumped from the second floor. Fortunately, the system protected him, and he landed safely.
"what"
The left knife slashed at the man's back, and the man let out a shrill scream. He then slashed at three more people. He didn't intend to kill them, but rather to use the injuries to distract the police.
