Chapter 422: Not dead yet, still breathing
Qi Tongwei told the police the address and said, "Come here as soon as possible. I'll watch these people here and make sure they don't get away."
The officer replied, "Yes, Chief Qi. We'll be leaving immediately and will arrive within ten minutes."
After hanging up the phone, the police took quick action.
The sound of sirens wailed on the city streets, and police cars rushed towards Qi Tongwei.
Inside the police car, the officers looked serious, with police lights flashing and sirens blaring.
They were well aware of Qi Tongwei's identity and understood the seriousness of the matter, so they raced against time on the way to the scene.
Within ten minutes, the sound of sirens came from a distance. The sound came closer and closer, like a declaration that justice was about to come.
At this time, the man with the cigarette in his mouth had his entire lips severely burned.
The lips, which had been relatively normal before, had now become extremely red and swollen, covered with blisters, and some parts had even begun to ulcerate.
He lay on the ground screaming in pain. The sound was miserable and desperate, and it was particularly harsh in the silent environment.
Qi Tongwei sat on a motorcycle, his posture upright, like a majestic statue.
His eyes were cold and he stared at the group of human traffickers with a murderous intent. If these people made any unusual movements, he would take action immediately.
A group of policemen came running over breathlessly, their steps hurried but orderly.
When they saw the people on the ground, they were stunned at first, and then immediately saluted Qi Tongwei.
The salute was neat and powerful, full of respect for Qi Tongwei.
One of the policemen, who looked like a captain, stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Chief Qi, what is going on?"
His eyes were full of doubt and a hint of caution.
Qi Tongwei did not answer immediately. He just silently took out a recorder from his pocket.
He looked at the recorder, then tossed it lightly to the police.
The policeman hurriedly reached out to catch the recorder, but his movements were a little hasty and he almost dropped it.
He held the recorder tightly and looked at Qi Tongwei with admiration.
Qi Tongwei said, "You'll know the details if you ask them. This recorder contains some of their confessions, but I think there's still a lot they haven't explained clearly. Take them back and interrogate them thoroughly."
The police captain took the recorder, nodded and said, "Yes, Chief Qi. We will definitely interrogate him thoroughly." He looked at the human trafficker on the ground, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
When the other policemen heard the captain's words, they all nodded.
They started to move, took out handcuffs and walked towards the traffickers.
When the traffickers saw the police coming, they wanted to struggle, but they had no strength to resist.
The police officers skillfully handcuffed them and pulled them up one by one.
In fact, the moment the traffickers heard the police call Qi Tongwei "Chief", their faces had turned as pale as paper and they really wanted to die.
They had guessed that Qi Tongwei's identity was not simple, but they never guessed that he was actually a big shot in the army.
Only then did they realize that they had really walked into the trap.
Qi Tongwei kicked the trafficker who had just been stabbed with a dagger. He said, "This man was stabbed by one of their own people, but he's not dead yet."
The police looked at Qi Tongwei with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
They immediately started to wonder, how could this be possible?
How could these human traffickers stab their own people?
So, the police captain looked at the surrounding situation and then looked at the human traffickers. Although Qi Tongwei said so, he still felt that this matter was strange.
However, it was not easy for him to question Qi Tongwei in person, after all, Qi Tongwei's identity was there.
So he could only pretend that he didn't notice anything unusual and immediately asked someone to carry the injured person on a stretcher to the car.
All of the human traffickers were seriously injured, and almost none of them could stand up completely.
Some were beaten with bruises on their faces and noses, their eyes swollen like walnuts, and they could only squint to see people; some had dislocated arms, hanging limply at the side of their bodies; and some had injured legs, and could only crawl on the ground with difficulty.
The police looked at the miserable condition of these human traffickers and were once again shocked by Qi Tongwei's strength, and then began to put them into the police car.
Several police officers worked together to help a human trafficker with an injured leg to his feet. The trafficker cried out in pain. As they supported him, the police officers grumbled quietly, "You're still crying out! This is retribution for your evil deeds."
Another human trafficker was beaten so hard that he felt dizzy and couldn't even stand. Two policemen could only hold his arms and drag him to the police car like a dead dog.
Another human trafficker was tortured by Qi Tongwei into a trance, muttering to himself. The police could only lift him up and stuff him into the police car.
A few policemen were whispering nearby.
A young policeman, with surprise in his eyes, whispered, "Damn, I didn't expect Chief Qi to be so powerful."
Another officer nodded in agreement and said, "I've always thought he was a top expert in information technology. I didn't expect Captain Qi to be able to handle so many burly men so easily. Look at these human traffickers; they've been completely subdued."
Another police officer came over and said mysteriously, "Did you see that man's mouth? It's full of cigarette butts! Aren't those special forces soldiers really good at dealing with human traffickers like this? If it were us, we wouldn't necessarily have the courage to do that."
The director came over at this time. When he saw Qi Tongwei, his face was full of smiles. He asked Qi Tongwei with concern if he was injured. "Chief Qi, are you injured? This is all thanks to you."
Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "You should worry about them. The one who lost too much blood will become a vegetable if he is not sent to the hospital."
The director nodded repeatedly and said that he had neglected this matter and had not noticed it before.
There was a hint of panic in his eyes, and he tried to hide his guilt with a smile.
Qi Tongwei said coldly: "You know it yourself, whether you are negligent or there is another reason. You can't be unaware of begging on the busy street."
His eyes grew sharp.
The chief's smile froze, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He stammered, "Qi... Chief Qi, we... we were truly negligent. As you know, our police force is limited, and we've been busy with other major cases lately, so we might not have paid much attention to this situation."
Qi Tongwei looked at the director without saying anything, but his eyes were full of suspicion.
