Chapter 249 A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude
"Officer, I'm innocent! I'm innocent! I really didn't kill Bai Jie! You must have made a mistake!"
Manager Dong hurriedly denied it, saying that Bai Jie was too useless and died after a little messing with her, which was simply a disservice to him.
Qi Tongwei pointed at Manager Dong and roared, "Are you sure you weren't at the crime scene the day Bai Jie died? Think it over before you speak!"
Manager Dong trembled with fear when he saw Qi Tongwei's eyes, which looked like those of a vicious wolf. He had originally gone to borrow money that day, and Bai Jie's death was due to his momentary lapse of rage. The security guard might remember him, and the police must have some evidence.
"Officer, I'll talk, I'll talk. I did go to the crime scene. Bai Jie was already dead then. Her boyfriend must have killed her. I was just blinded by greed and took Bai Jie's things. I'm willing to compensate, I'm willing to compensate double."
"Whether what you're saying is true or false, we will investigate and take you away."
Qi Tongwei waved his hand. Compared to Wu Yong, he believed Wu Yong's words more. This Manager Dong was heavily in debt and was capable of anything if he was lustful.
"Officer, you have to believe me, everything I'm saying is true, I really didn't kill anyone."
Manager Dong was agitated and shouted that he was innocent, but he did not resist. The two policemen handcuffed him.
Hua Mudan gritted her teeth and angrily rushed forward, slapping Manager Dong hard across the face.
"Dong Xiang, you bastard, why did you kill Bai Jie? Why did you kill Bai Jie?"
Lan Ying quickly pulled Hua Mudan back. Compared to Wu Yong, Hua Mudan believed more that Manager Dong had killed Bai Jie, because that gambling addict was a scumbag who had taken advantage of the young ladies by abusing his power.
Manager Dong was furious, "Hua Mudan, you filthy bitch, are you out of your mind? How dare you hit me? Do you even want to keep your job?"
"Dong Xiang, you scum, you deserve to die a horrible death!"
Everyone says that prostitutes are heartless, but Hua Mudan considered Bai Jie a true friend. Their tragic fates forged a precious bond between them.
Qi Tongwei had no interest in listening to the two arguing and ordered, "Take them away."
Unexpectedly, Hua Mudan grabbed Qi Tongwei's arm, "Officer Qi, you must do justice for Bai Jie!"
"Don't worry, if Dong Xiang did it, he will definitely be punished by law."
Realizing her rudeness, Hua Mudan quickly released her grip, saying, "Thank you, Officer Qi, thank you, Officer Qi."
No sooner had he finished speaking than an unexpected incident occurred.
A young male waiter walked towards Manager Dong and suddenly plunged a knife into his heart.
Wu Dali kicked the male waiter to the ground.
Holy crap, all of this happened so fast. Qi Tongwei was completely dumbfounded. What the hell is this plot?
Manager Dong stared wide-eyed, mouth agape, too pained to cry out for a moment. A sharp knife was stuck in his chest, and blood instantly stained his white shirt. His legs buckled and he knelt down.
The two policemen hurriedly laid Manager Dong flat on the ground. Lan Ying rushed over to check his injuries. Blood was gushing from Manager Dong's chest, and he turned pale instantly, his life rapidly slipping away.
"Someone at the Golden Phoenix Nightclub has been stabbed in the chest. Send an ambulance immediately, quick, very quickly!"
Qi Tongwei pulled out his mobile phone and quickly dialed 120. If Manager Dong died, the truth about Bai Jie's case would be lost forever.
He quickly took off his coat and the long-sleeved shirt underneath, revealing his well-defined muscles.
"Use this to press on his wound."
Lan Ying took the clothes and quickly pressed them against Manager Dong's chest, slowing down the bleeding.
Manager Dong grew increasingly weak. "Officer, save me, I don't want to die!"
"If you want to live, shut up. The ambulance is on its way."
Qi Tongwei was starting to suspect that Hua Mudan had deliberately grabbed him earlier, but then he thought, how could she know that he would come to arrest Manager Dong today? Damn it, after being a cop for so long, does she suspect everyone?
Hua Mudan stood there dumbfounded, her body trembling, her limbs almost unresponsive. Manager Dong had actually been killed by Zhang Xiaodong with a single stab.
Zhang Xiaodong started working as a waiter at a nightclub when he was sixteen. Once, he broke a customer's drink and the customer demanded compensation, which he couldn't afford. It was Bai Jie who helped him and kept his job.
Zhang Xiaodong's mother was seriously ill and needed a large sum of money for treatment. Bai Jie lent him the money. Bai Jie treated him like a younger brother, and he regarded Bai Jie as an angel.
Zhang Xiaodong was deeply saddened by Bai Jie's tragic death. He vowed to avenge Bai Jie, and he would kill the murderer even if he was released from prison, as long as the murderer was alive.
A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude, and Zhang Xiaodong is not afraid to risk his life.
The ambulance arrived shortly afterward, and Manager Dong was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. Despite more than an hour of efforts, he could not be saved and died.
"Damn it, he just died like that," Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette, unable to understand why.
"Sir, smoking is not allowed in the hospital."
Qi Tongwei glared at the nurse, who was frightened and could only shut up.
Lan Ying asked, "Qi Zhi, what do we do now?"
Qi Tongwei exhaled a puff of smoke. "Back to the Provincial Department."
Lan Ying understood Qi Tongwei's feelings perfectly. The truth of the case was about to be revealed, but suddenly such a big variable occurred.
Back at the provincial headquarters, Wu Dali rushed over, "Chief Qi, the suspect has confessed!"
"Wow, he confessed so quickly," Qi Tongwei thought, speechless.
How to say it?
"The suspect's name is Zhang Xiaodong. Bai Jie treated him like a younger brother, and the two had a very good relationship. After Bai Jie's death, he always wanted revenge."
It's that simple.
Qi Tongwei was somewhat incredulous. No matter how good their relationship was, this was murder.
Wu Dali nodded. "Chief Qi, Zhang Xiaodong is not yet eighteen years old."
Holy crap, this is age-based crime!
"Let's go, I'll go and investigate again."
Qi Tongwei entered the interrogation room. Zhang Xiaodong, despite his young age, was remarkably composed, showing no sign of panic or fear. Could this be a case of poor children learning to be independent early?
"Zhang Xiaodong, you killed Dong Xiang just to avenge Bai Jie."
"Yes"
Zhang Xiaodong answered decisively: he did not regret killing anyone.
Qi Tongwei walked over and sat down. "Zhang Xiaodong, didn't you think about your grandparents, parents, and siblings when you did this? How heartbroken they would be if they knew?"
Zhang Xiaodong couldn't help but tear up when he thought of his elderly grandmother, his hardworking father, his ailing mother, and his younger siblings who always doted on him.
"Officer, please consider this my apology to them."
Enraged, Qi Tongwei slammed his fist on the table. "Do you even know what you're doing? You're a murderer now, and your family will never be able to hold their heads up in the village again!"
"The police haven't proven Dong Xiang is the murderer yet. If you kill him now, the truth about Bai Jie's death will never be found out."
Zhang Xiaodong lowered his head, feeling guilty towards his family, but he still did not regret his choice.
"Officer, now that the murderer has been caught, will he pay for Bai Jie's life?"
