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

Chapter 188 Law enforcers cannot cross the line

The drug dealers were extremely ruthless. They made a sharp turn and continued to fire wildly at Wu Dali.

The anti-drug police officer was shot; one bullet hit his shoulder, and another grazed his neck. Had it been a little off, he might have become a martyr.

Wu Dali's shoulder was grazed by a bullet, and his face was covered in blood from cuts caused by shards of glass. He felt deeply humiliated that the police were being chased by drug dealers.

Bang bang bang.

The drug dealers chased for a while longer, then stopped attacking and immediately turned around and fled.

Wu Dali breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly turned around and chased after him, "Xiao Yang, are you alright?"

"It's okay, Dali, don't worry about me."

Wu Dali slammed on the gas pedal, and suddenly, with a loud bang, the tire blew out. He immediately steadied the steering wheel, but still crashed into a haystack by the roadside.

Watching helplessly as the drug dealers disappeared into the night, Wu Dali angrily slammed his fist on the steering wheel.

When Qi Tongwei arrived, Wu Dali was anxiously pressing on Xiao Yang's shoulder. Blood stained his clothes. Xiao Yang was pale and was trying hard to keep his eyes open so that he wouldn't fall asleep. He was afraid that if he fell asleep, he wouldn't wake up again.

"Wu Dali, quickly carry him to the car, we need to get to the hospital right away!"

Wu Dali quickly carried Xiao Yang into the car. He felt extremely remorseful and guilty for letting the drug dealer escape.

"Qi Zhi, it's my fault for being useless; I failed to catch the drug dealers."

Qi Tongwei slammed on the gas, speeding off, yelling, "Stop talking nonsense! We can catch the drug dealers if they get away. Your lives are more important!"

That's what he said, but Wu Dali still blamed himself. If he had known the drug dealers' intentions in advance, he could have fired the shot earlier and wouldn't have been chased by them.

Xiao Yang lost too much blood and fainted. Qi Tongwei rushed to the hospital and saved Xiao Yang's life.

The team leader, Li Jitao, was overjoyed to have seized ten kilograms of drugs in one fell swoop. He immediately called Director Ye to report the news. Ye Xingguo was also delighted. Qi Tongwei had indeed not disappointed him; he had made a new breakthrough as soon as he arrived.

Provincial Department, Interrogation Room.

Qi Tongwei interrogated Ma Fengtian overnight, demanding, "Ma Fengtian, who is Fifth Master? Tell me quickly!"

With his hands and feet cuffed, Ma Fengtian was completely deflated. Just a few days ago, he was full of pride, bragging to his buddies that he was a groom every night. Now, he suddenly seemed to have aged ten years.

"I do not know"

Qi Tongwei slammed his fist on the table, his anger blazing. "Ma Fengtian, confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely. The country has zero tolerance for drugs. If you want to live, you'd better confess honestly."

Ma Fengtian looked up, his eyes suddenly lighting up as if he had grasped at a last straw. "Officer, can I still live?"

Whether you live or die depends on how you explain yourself.

Ma Fengtian hesitated for a moment. At this point, there was no point in holding on.

"Officer, I really don't know who Fifth Master is. My karaoke bar is just a distribution point. They give me the goods, and I'm just responsible for selling them. I don't know anything else."

Qi Tongwei stood up and walked up to Ma Fengtian. "Who approached you for the first sale?"

"Officer, this karaoke bar has been open for less than a year. I took it over from a friend, who has already gone abroad. The person who contacted me is called Chen Xiaogou, and the staff call him Brother Gou."

Ma Fengtian didn't hide anything; Chen Xiaogou was already wanted by the police, so telling him wouldn't be considered betrayal.

Qi Tongwei stared intently into Ma Fengtian's eyes. "So, you don't know anything, you're just a salesman?"

"Yes, officer, after Chen Xiaogou's accident, Black Panther replaced him as the deliveryman. He's the one you saw today."

Ma Fengtian nodded nervously. Qi Tongwei's gaze frightened him, and he felt that he would be beaten if he said the wrong thing.

"Besides Chen Xiaogou and Black Panther, have you traded with anyone else?"

"Officer, that's all. Fifth Master is an extremely cautious man. Rumor has it that he's not in the country; he might be in the Golden Triangle."

Ma Fengtian has a strong will to live. He is the kind of person who is most afraid of death and will want to live even if there is only the slightest chance.

Qi Tongwei didn't think Ma Fengtian was lying. It seemed that they still had to capture Black Panther and Chen Xiaogou first before they could find any clues about Fifth Master.

“Ma Fengtian, you’ve been in the underworld for so long, even if you don’t know who Fifth Master is, you must know who’s involved with drugs. If you want to live, you’ll have to give me some valuable information.”

"Officer, I was forced into this. If I didn't sell Fifth Master's goods, my karaoke bar wouldn't be able to open. I really don't know anything else."

Ma Fengtian put on a show of being greatly wronged; damn it, he really thinks he's the victim.

Qi Tongwei angrily pointed at Ma Fengtian, saying that drug dealers deserved to be torn to pieces, "Ma Fengtian, don't fucking play along with me. Whether you live or die is up to you."

Ma Fengtian swallowed nervously. Of course he wanted to live, but could he really survive?

"Officer, I really don't know anything. I was wrong, I was really wrong. I have an 80-year-old mother at home. Please, government, spare my life so I can take care of her in her final days."

Qi Tongwei couldn't help but laugh as he watched Ma Fengtian weeping bitterly. Was he using the money from drug trafficking to give his mother a grand funeral? If so, would his mother rest in peace in the afterlife?

"Ma Fengtian, with so much drug trafficking, you know you deserve the death penalty. Think it over carefully. Before the court verdict, you'd better perform a major service, otherwise no one can save you."

Upon hearing this, Ma Fengtian felt a chill run through him, and he hung his head, wondering if this was his fate.

After the interrogation, Lan Ying was somewhat puzzled. "Chief Qi, why didn't you continue the interrogation? Ma Fengtian definitely knows something; he didn't confess honestly."

You mean using underhanded methods?

Lan Ying truly believed this. The entire family of Xu Feng, the head of the anti-drug squad, was murdered, and the drug dealers brazenly left behind a videotape. She didn't even have the courage to watch the whole tape; it was simply too cruel, especially the little girl who turned into a fireball. The excruciating pain she felt was unimaginable.

Qi Tongwei understood Lan Ying's thinking. When drug dealers resist, he could kill them without hesitation. However, using vigilante justice during interrogation ultimately does more harm than good, which is how wrongful convictions are created.

Do you think I'm a kind person?

Lan Ying was stunned. Qi Tongwei's actions certainly did not make him a kind person. She suddenly realized that the bottom line could not be crossed.

If law enforcement officers have no bottom line, it will be a disaster for ordinary people.

"Qi Zhi, I understand. Those within Black Panther received the news so quickly; their actions are incredibly swift."

"Karaoke bars are places where all sorts of people mingle. We just happened to run into one, so it's not surprising that word got out."

Qi Tongwei didn't want to doubt his comrades who had fought alongside him; doing so would only make everyone feel insecure and lead to a lack of trust among them.

"Understood, Qi Zhi, I'll get back to work."

Okay, everyone, please work hard tonight.

Qi Tongwei quickly drew a portrait of Black Panther, faxed it to various police stations, and issued an arrest warrant overnight.

Black Panther hid in a room, holding a photo of Qi Tongwei in his hand, his eyes filled with intense murderous intent.

The cell phone rang, and a deep male voice came through, "Black Panther, you shouldn't show your face for a while."

"Brother, let me go and kill him."

Black Panther angrily crumpled Qi Tongwei's photo into a ball.
