Chapter 182 The Unapproachable Chen Family Village
Qi Tongwei asked doubtfully, "Judging from everyone's expressions, could this Chen Family Village be a den of dragons and tigers?"
"Qi Zhi, I'll have Lan Ying go with you."
Chen Shunjun is from Chenjiazhai. There's a saying in Tianhe City that you shouldn't mess with anyone but Chenjiazhai.
The Chen clan, numbering in the thousands, formed Chenjiazhai. Chen Wenjie, the mayor of Tianhe City, is from Chenjiazhai. It is no exaggeration to say that Chenjiazhai controls most of the economic lifeline of Tianhe City, and the Chen clan has permeated all walks of life.
"Okay, Branch Chief Chen."
Ye Xingguo prepared a white Jetta for Qi Tongwei, treating him like a bandit.
There was a saying that circulated in the 90s: "White Jetta, black Santana, the trunk is full of guns."
Wu Dali was very excited. Going out on a mission was much more comfortable than sitting in an office. He drove, Qi Tongwei sat in the passenger seat, and Lan Ying sat silently in the back.
According to the case file, Xu Feng, the anti-drug squad leader whose family of three was murdered, had previously destroyed a drug manufacturing den, arrested a group of drug dealers, and seized 200 kilograms of drugs, which is why he was subjected to such brutal retaliation by the drug dealers.
Behind this batch of drugs is a man nicknamed Fifth Master. Fifth Master is very mysterious. Xu Feng has been investigating for two years and still doesn't know what Fifth Master looks like.
When the drug manufacturing den was raided, a man named Chen Xiaogou escaped. This Chen Xiaogou was from Chenjiazhai.
We learned from the arrested drug dealers that they were all Chen Xiaogou's men, so if we could capture Chen Xiaogou, we might be able to find clues about Fifth Master.
After that, Chen Xiaogou went into hiding, and the police never found him. Qi Tongwei went to Chenjiazhai this time to talk to Chen Xiaogou's drunken father, Chen Dawang.
The gate of Chenjia Village is very grand, with carved dragons and phoenixes, and two lifelike stone lions, which give people a sense of awe.
The two security guards at the gate stopped the car.
Wu Dali took out his badge and spoke to the security guard in Cantonese, "We are police officers. We need to speak with Chen Dawang to get some information. Please move aside."
The security guard glanced at Qi Tongwei sitting in the passenger seat and said in an unfriendly tone, "There's an event in Chenjiazhai today. Vehicles not belonging to Chenjiazhai are not allowed in. Get out and walk. Move your car out immediately."
Wu Dali was furious, but powerless to do anything about it. Before leaving, Chen Shunjun instructed him to control his temper once he entered Chenjia Village and not to act impulsively.
"Qizhi, what do we do now?"
Qi Tongwei was well aware of the power of clans, especially in eastern Guangdong, where they were very united. Since they hadn't crossed his bottom line, he might as well take a few more steps.
"Then let's park the car on the side of the road and walk in."
"Yes, Qizhi."
Lan Ying breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Qi Tongwei, that hothead, would argue with someone and insist on driving in.
She was more familiar with Chenjia Village than Wu Dali.
Qi Tongwei was carrying a bag containing a mobile phone and had a pager hanging from his waist, looking quite flashy.
Wu Dali led the way to Chen Dawang's house. Chen Dawang was drinking alone, eating peanuts, and humming a tune. Ever since he drove his wife away, he had been drunk almost every day. He didn't care about his son, who was raised by his parents.
"Chen Dawang, this is our new Captain Qi. He has a few questions for you."
"Ask your mother! Get lost! I know nothing! Give me back my son!"
Chen Dawang slammed his chopsticks on the table with a loud bang, causing two peanuts to fall and roll to his feet, deliberately acting out of drunkenness.
Qi Tongwei can't speak Cantonese, but he can understand it, thanks to Cantonese movies and songs.
Wu Dali was furious. He had been recruited to the anti-drug squad by Xu Feng and had a deep affection for Xu Feng. "Chen Dawang, do you understand? Your son is a drug dealer. Behave yourself!"
Chen Dawang stood up unsteadily. He wasn't afraid of the police here in Chenjia Village. Ever since his son went into hiding, he could no longer spend money recklessly. He shamelessly knelt down and begged his son for money, but Chen Xiaogou used money to humiliate him. The two were truly father and son.
"My son is a good person, not a drug dealer. You lousy cops are framing him. Get out!"
Wu Dali was so angry he wanted to make a move, but Qi Tongwei quickly pulled him back. He unzipped his bag and took out a wad of cash, which immediately made Chen Dawang's eyes light up.
"Chen Dawang, if you answer my questions properly, this money is yours."
Seeing that Qi Tongwei had at least a thousand yuan in his hand, Chen Dawang couldn't hide his greedy eyes and immediately changed his attitude.
"Officer, are you telling the truth? You'll give me the money as long as I answer your questions."
Qi Tongwei pulled up a chair and sat down. "Of course, that's on the condition that you don't lie."
Chen Dawang quickly sat down, as if he had suddenly sobered up, and even raised his hand to swear, "Officer, I promise that every word I've said is the truth."
Wu Dali was stunned. "Brother, we're police officers. How can we use money to interrogate you?"
Lan Ying was also shocked by Qi Tongwei's unconventional investigative methods.
Qi Tongwei placed the money on the table. "Has your son called you recently?"
Chen Dawang immediately shook his head, "No, no."
Qi Tongwei and Lan Ying were both carefully observing Chen Dawang's expression. Chen Dawang did not hesitate at all and spoke the truth.
Qi Tongwei picked up a hundred yuan and handed it to Chen Dawang, saying, "Tell the truth and you'll get paid."
Chen Dawang quickly took the money; he now believed that Qi Tongwei really intended to give him the money.
"Officer, please continue asking questions. I'll tell you everything."
Qi Tongwei picked up two hundred yuan and asked, "Who is your son closest to in Chenjiazhai?"
Chen Dawang hesitated for a moment, then decided to go all in for the money. "Chen Xiaoshuang..."
Wu Dali immediately became anxious, "Chen Dawang, why didn't you tell the police before?"
"You won't pay me if I tell you, so why should I?"
Chen Dawang spoke with conviction and self-righteousness, saying that he was a scoundrel and wasn't afraid of going to the detention center.
Qi Tongwei reached out to stop Wu Dali, gave Chen Dawang two hundred yuan, and then picked up three hundred yuan.
Who is the richest person in Chenjia Village?
Wu Dali was very puzzled. What was this question? Was it related to the case?
Lan Ying seemed to smell a conspiracy. Could it be that Qi Tongwei suspected that the drug dealers were connected to Chenjiazhai?
She understood a principle: the taller the tree, the more the wind will blow against it; Tianhe City belongs to the people, not to any one family or clan.
Chen Dawang swallowed hard, his heart pounding. Even if he spoke, it wouldn't be considered revealing the secret of Chen Family Village, because Chen Family Village had a family rule: anyone who dared to betray Chen Family Village would be beaten at best, and expelled from Chen Family Village at worst.
Chen Wenxiong
Qi Tongwei handed another three hundred yuan to Chen Dawang and picked up the remaining money on the table.
What did you eat last night?
Chen Dawang was taken aback for a moment, "Pig's feet rice"
"I also like to eat braised pork knuckle rice, preferably a three-combination dish, plus roast duck and pork intestines."
Qi Tongwei handed the money to Chen Dawang, who took it incredulously. What kind of problem was this?
Wu Dali stared wide-eyed. "Brother, this money is enough for my living expenses for a month. Why waste it like this?"
Lan Ying felt that Qi Tongwei must have other plans; he didn't seem like the kind of person who was foolish and had too much money.
Qi Tongwei took out another wad of cash from his bag, at least three thousand yuan. Chen Dawang's eyes widened, and a strong sense of greed welled up inside him. If he knew where his son was hiding, he would choose to kill his own son for the greater good.
Wu Dali stared intently at Qi Tongwei's bag. "Brother, is your bag a money printing machine?"
Qi Tongwei placed the money on the table. "Chen Dawang, just say whatever you want. If you tell me anything I want to know, all this money is yours. For example, what kind of people your son has met, preferably mysterious strangers. You can describe them, and I'll draw a portrait for you."
