Chapter 373 Stubbornness Can't Be Pried Off
Wang Yang lowered his head. He also had his own troubles. Wan Hongyu's body had various bruises, some caused by fists and some by electric batons. The root cause of death was that he died from internal organ rupture caused by violent beating.
Chen Zhihu held a gun to Wang Yang's head and forced him to write that Wan Hongyu died of a heart attack. He had his own principles and wanted to find the true cause of death for every victim. However, when Chen Zhihu threatened him with the lives of his ex-wife and children, he had no choice but to abandon his principles and become an ordinary person who followed the crowd.
Wan Hongyu's autopsy report has always been a thorn in Wang Yang's side. He thought about quitting his job, but found that he seemed to know nothing except for forensic medicine. His life seemed to end at the moment he went against his conscience.
Qi Tongwei took a few puffs of his cigarette, walked over, and picked up the autopsy report from the ground. "Did Chen Zhihu threaten you to write this?"
Wang Yang suddenly felt a sense of desolation. Since he already knew, why did he ask the question? He felt sorry for his wife and children and would never put them in danger.
"No one threatened me. I was too tired from the autopsy that day, so I skipped it once, and that was the only time."
As the saying goes, "The face reflects the heart," and Qi Tongwei found it hard to bring himself to hit this honest, eccentric man who spent years with corpses and rarely spoke.
"Chen Zhihu is dead. If you are worried about your safety and that of your family, the police can send someone to protect you."
Upon hearing the news of Chen Zhihu's death, Wang Yang was taken aback. It was unbelievable that such an arrogant and ruthless criminal police captain had suddenly died. Who could have killed him?
Even if Chen Zhihu is dead, so what? Chen Family Village still has power and hasn't collapsed. He still doesn't dare to tell the truth. He can't take risks for the safety of his wife and children, and he is willing to bear all the consequences alone.
"I told you, no one threatened me."
It seems that neither criminal police nor forensic doctors dared to offend Chen Zhihu, even though they knew he was dead. Of course, they were also afraid of taking responsibility.
Wan Hongyu's body had already been cremated. If these people insisted that he died of a sudden heart attack, Qi Tongwei really wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
He didn't really want to resort to methods to pry open people's mouths one by one, because only by eliminating violent interrogation could wrongful convictions be reduced.
Enraged, Qi Tongwei grabbed Wang Yang by the collar, yelling, "Do you even know that concealing the true cause of death makes you an accomplice of the murderer?"
"I understand you're afraid of the power behind Chen Zhihu, but damn it, do you want to carry this secret to your grave for the rest of your life?"
"If you just tell the truth, I'll send you and your family abroad. If you don't like foreign countries, then go to Hong Kong."
Qi Tongwei was so excited about finding out the truth that he was almost desperate to find a cure. The death of his third uncle filled him with repression, and he vowed not to rest until he had thoroughly investigated Wan Hongda's case.
Wang Yang remained unmoved. He rarely dealt with living people because they were all cunning and eloquent. If they wanted to lie, they would exaggerate to the extreme, even luring sparrows down from the trees. Only corpses would not lie.
"There are no hidden secrets; the truth is exactly as stated in the autopsy report."
Qi Tongwei's fists hardened, and with a dark face, he released Wang Yang, suppressing the urge to retaliate. The profession of forensic medicine is worthy of respect because few people choose this profession. Touching corpses every day is a chilling thought.
"Fine, you won't tell me, huh? I'll give you time to think it over."
Lan Ying breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Qi Zhi was still rational, otherwise Wang Yang would definitely have gotten a good slap in the face.
After the police left, Wang Yang sat alone in the interrogation room. He was actually very conflicted and in pain. As a forensic doctor, lying was a great disgrace to him.
Qi Tongwei didn't let himself stop for a moment. He sent someone to notify Zhu Youqian, the vice president of Guangdong East Bank, to come to the provincial department to cooperate with the investigation. Zhu Youqian refused to cooperate, saying he was too busy. Wouldn't it be a loss of face to expect the bank's bigwig to come whenever he wanted?
To save face, Qi Tongwei made sure Zhu Youqian had no face at all, and personally led his men to the Guangdong Bank.
The headquarters of Guangdong East Bank is very luxurious and grand. Walking in, you can feel the presence of money. The bank's young women are dressed in business attire, each one youthful and beautiful, truly a beautiful sight.
Upon seeing the uniformed police officers enter, the bank teller quickly ran over.
"Officer, is there anything I can help you with?"
One doesn't hit a smiling face, so Qi Tongwei was very polite. "I'm Qi Tongwei from the provincial department's special task force. Could you please take me to see Vice President Zhu?"
The police have already come once. The receptionist received instructions from her supervisor that if the police come again, she should say that President Zhu has gone to a meeting out of town and will not be back for a while.
"Officer, Bank Manager Zhu just went out of town for a meeting. Please leave your phone number; I'll let you know as soon as he gets back."
Damn it, he's putting on quite a show. This is intentional. "Looks like Vice President Zhu's pretty busy; he went on a business trip as soon as the police arrived."
These were police officers from the provincial department. The receptionist, not daring to offend them, said, "Officer, it's quite a coincidence."
"Perfect, then I'll go visit Vice President Zhu's office."
There was no way to stop Qi Tongwei. Since he was here, we had to see for ourselves.
"Officer, Bank Manager Zhu really is away on a business trip."
The receptionist hurriedly chased after Qi Tongwei, while the three security guards looked at each other in bewilderment. Qi Tongwei had brought four police officers with him, making quite a show of force, so the security guards didn't dare to step forward to stop him.
Qi Tongwei's expression was serious, and he didn't say anything. The police officers who had been there before pressed the elevator button and led the way.
"Officer, Bank Manager Zhu really went out of town."
The receptionist was still trying to stop Qi Tongwei, and she was very anxious. It would be a big deal if he couldn't complete the task assigned by his boss. As soon as the elevator doors opened, Qi Tongwei immediately went in, and a policeman pressed the button for the eighth floor.
"Officer, you can't go upstairs. There are leaders having a meeting upstairs right now."
The receptionist held the elevator door open with one hand to prevent it from closing; she's quite brave for her young age.
Before Qi Tongwei could make a move, Lan Ying pulled her into the elevator.
"Your behavior constitutes obstruction of police duties. If you don't want to go to the police station for investigation, then lead the way and cooperate with the police."
The receptionist turned pale with fright. She couldn't go to the police station; the headquarters offered good benefits but was highly competitive, and there was always the possibility of bad rumors spreading.
"Officer, I've been cooperating fully. I'll be on the eighth floor in a bit, please wait a moment."
A short while later, the elevator arrived at the eighth floor. The receptionist quickly ran out; she needed to report to her supervisor first, otherwise she might have to take the blame.
Qi Tongwei didn't care. There was no need to make things difficult for a receptionist. No matter what industry you're in, low-level workers are destined to be bossed around.
A sharp-eyed bank teller from the eighth floor ran over and said, "Officer, could you please wait a moment?"
Qi Tongwei ignored him and walked straight ahead. Most of the eighth floor consisted of the leaders' offices, but they had a kind of understated luxury, unlike the grand and imposing lobby. He guessed it was to avoid being investigated.
