Chapter 118 Crackdown on Prostitution and Organized Crime
Chapter 118 Crackdown on Prostitution and Organized Crime
"Block the exits at both ends. I want to see just how many rats and cockroaches are hiding there."
Manager Bai from Red Apple Club was blocking the entrance.
"Team Leader Qi"
When the police officers saw Qi Tongwei arrive, they immediately made way.
Qi Tongwei glanced at Manager Bai. This woman was in her thirties, and her eyes clearly showed that she had been with countless men.
Manager Bai immediately put on a smiling face, "Captain Qi, my surname is Bai, and I'm the manager here. We're a legitimate health and massage parlor; we don't offer any prostitution services."
Whether or not something happened is not up to you to decide.
Qi Tongwei pushed Manager Bai aside and walked in, saying, "Inspect carefully, don't miss a single corner."
Immediately, a group of police officers rushed in.
"Captain Qi, many of our leaders come here for massages regularly, please do us the honor."
Manager Bai wanted to intimidate Qi Tongwei by mentioning his superiors, since the lowest-ranking person to come here was a section chief.
Qi Tongwei stopped and stared at Manager Bai. "That leader, tell me."
Seeing Qi Tongwei's posture, Manager Bai dared not mention the leader's name and decided it was better to cooperate.
"Captain Qi, don't misunderstand, I'm fully cooperating with the inspection."
A group of women were found during the search, all dressed in flight attendant uniforms. Qi Tongwei was a little surprised. "Damn, the quality is really high."
"Report to Captain Qi, no prostitution services were found."
"Captain Qi, I told you you'd misunderstood."
Manager Bai was very pleased with herself. "You're still too green to mess with me."
As a man who was once addicted to foot massages, Qi Tongwei couldn't believe that such high-quality women could only be looked at but not touched.
He walked to the innermost room and pushed the door open.
The room was brightly lit with colorful lights, filled with a passionate and ambiguous atmosphere.
He turned off the colored lights, turned on the incandescent light, and looked around. Manager Bai's heart was in his throat.
Qi Tongwei walked over and knocked on the wall.
Manager Bai quickly ran over and grabbed Qi Tongwei, "Captain Qi, what are you doing? You don't suspect we have a tunnel, do you?"
Qi Tongwei shoved Manager Bai aside and kicked the wall.
With a bang, a hidden door was kicked open.
"Director Wang, Director Wang, Director Wang!"
The director of the land bureau, who was standing at the door, was knocked down by the door, and his nose was crooked.
Inside were more than a dozen pot-bellied men, each wearing only a pair of shorts. They were either section chiefs, bureau chiefs, or two department heads.
Qi Tongwei immediately took out his camera and started snapping photos like crazy.
"Block the doorway, nobody's allowed to escape!"
The leaders became furious and covered their faces with their hands to try and shield themselves, while Deputy Director Yang of the Finance Department even tried to snatch the camera.
Qi Tongwei kicked him to the ground, yelling, "Damn it, all of you better behave yourselves! You johns dare to act arrogantly in front of the police? I'll kill you!"
"Director Yang, are you alright? Are you alright?"
Several people quickly went to help Deputy Director Yang, while Qi Tongwei excitedly took out his camera and searched for various angles, making sure not a single leader was missing.
Manager Bai was dumbfounded. How could a lowly policeman have such audacity to offend more than a dozen leaders at once? How could he possibly survive in the future?
Tang Guozhong and Tian Xiaobing stood silently guarding the door. They were all high-ranking leaders they couldn't afford to offend. Qi Tongwei was really asking for trouble.
When they raid prostitution rings, they usually turn a blind eye to their superiors, fearing that their superiors will hold a grudge.
After taking the photos, Qi Tongwei walked to the door and shouted, "Call all the girls over here!"
Deputy Director Yang, rubbing his stomach, angrily demanded, "What's your name? Which police station are you from?"
Qi Tongwei laughed and said, "My name is Qi Tongwei, the acting captain of the criminal investigation team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Tonight, the Municipal Public Security Bureau is conducting a unified operation to crack down on prostitution and organized crime. I didn't expect to run into you leaders. What a coincidence."
"Since you know we're the leaders, how dare you act so presumptuously? Do you want to quit?"
Deputy Director Yang was furious. "Hand over the camera immediately, or I'll make sure Han Weiping regrets it!"
Qi Tongwei laughed heartily, then his expression suddenly changed drastically. "You've got quite the airs of an official! Get out of here! Our Director Han is upright and incorruptible, unlike you shameless scoundrels!"
Being humiliated to their faces, the leaders were so angry they felt like they were going to vomit blood; their faces were burning with embarrassment, but they still had some sense of shame.
As soon as Qi Tongwei saw the young ladies arrive, he greeted them warmly, "Girls, come in, all of you come in!"
The police gave the order, and the women had no choice but to comply.
Qi Tongwei laughed and said, "Girls, cheer up, smile! It's fate that so many high-ranking leaders are here."
The ladies could only manage a forced smile.
Qi Tongwei took out his camera and snapped away for a while.
The leader and the woman were so frightened that they frantically tried to cover their faces.
This comical scene terrified the police officers present.
This is going to absolutely offend the boss.
Tang Guozhong and Tian Xiaobing quietly retreated outside the room. Following Qi Tongwei in solving cases was too exciting, so exciting that they wanted to die.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Deputy Director Yang rushed forward frantically, but Qi Tongwei dodged to the side, tripped, and fell flat on his face.
Other leaders dare not make a move now, as they have all heard about the incident involving the deputy director of the TV station, so they are choosing to hold back for the time being.
"Manager Bai, where are the leaders' clothes? Find them quickly! Do you want them to leave naked?"
Manager Bai, who has lived for over thirty years, was shocked by what happened today and was completely taken aback.
"I'll go get it for the boss."
One of the young women volunteered and said:
"go quickly"
Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, leaders. Please wait a moment; I'll need to trouble you to go back to the police station to give a statement."
After saying that, he strode out of the room with an air of dominance, as if he didn't recognize anyone.
The leaders gritted their teeth, wishing they could eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Tonight's raid was very effective, deterring criminals and arresting another group of officials for soliciting prostitution.
When Han Weiping heard that Yang, the deputy director of the Finance Department, had been arrested, he was terrified. He thought, "Don't offend the God of Wealth!"
I also heard that after Qi Tongwei forcibly took photos of the leader and the prostitute, he completely gave up the struggle. He didn't care, he didn't care, and he forgave all the wrongs in the world.
On the second morning, Secretary Zhu, the top leader of the municipal party committee, presided over an enlarged meeting of the standing committee.
The leaders present had all heard about what happened last night, especially what Qi Tongwei had done—it was utterly lawless.
Secretary Zhu's face was stern. "Comrades, I've read the report the Municipal Bureau gave me, and it pains me to the core. More than a hundred cadres stayed up all night to go out and visit prostitutes. Shanghai's economy is developing rapidly, but it can't keep up with the rate of corruption among Party members and cadres. If this continues, how can we face the revolutionary martyrs who sacrificed their lives?"
"Tell me, how should we deal with these more than one hundred cadres?"
Secretary Zhu has finally drawn his sword, and everyone present knows perfectly well that he is going to remove some of the stumbling blocks on the road to reform.
"Secretary Zhu, our Discipline Inspection Commission is prepared to conduct a comprehensive investigation into these more than one hundred cadres."
The secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission was the first to express his opinion, which can be seen as a response to Secretary Zhu's anti-corruption campaign.
"I agree that the Party's purity must be maintained. Those who want to become officials and also want to make money should be purged as soon as possible."
The mayor then made a statement, thus essentially launching the anti-corruption campaign.
Cao Jinliang had a different opinion: "Secretary Zhu, our Party has always adhered to the principle of 'learning from past mistakes to avoid future ones and curing the disease to save the patient.' If a comrade is seriously corrupt, he should be expelled. But for comrades who have only made mistakes due to momentary confusion, we should give them another chance."
