Absolute power in officialdom

Chapter 218 Arresting Prostitutes

Wei Guochun feigned surprise: "How did you know I'm the big boss?"

The burly man glared and snapped, "Enough with the nonsense!"

Wei Guochun feigned pleading, "Brother, 500,000 is too much. I can't come up with it all at once. Could you reduce the amount?"

The burly man grinned maliciously and said, "No cash, but you can transfer money!"

You can also write an IOU, but if you do, it will cost one million!

Tonight, we have all the evidence and witnesses; you can't deny it now! We can send you to jail anytime!

Wei Guochun hesitated for a moment, then said, "My bank card is in my bag. I'll go get it. There's 300,000 yuan on it."

The strong man was unaware of the trap.

He was secretly delighted: This is too damn easy to make money!

This was Wei Guochun deliberately keeping his distance from the burly man to prevent the man from taking him hostage or accidentally injuring him when the police made arrests.

Wei Guochun coughed a few times.

This is a pre-arranged code.

It means we can start now.

"Police! Don't move!"

The stern shouts rang out simultaneously from three directions: behind the curtains, in the bathroom, and in the wardrobe.

Three policemen appeared as if by divine intervention.

The two burly men didn't have time to make any effective response.

A sharp pain shot through the burly man's wrist as he took the photo, causing his phone to fall to the ground. Immediately afterward, he was kicked hard in the back of the knee, causing him to involuntarily kneel down. His arms were twisted behind his back, and the cold handcuffs snapped shut.

He tried to struggle, but a hand like an iron clamp held him firmly on the back of his neck, and his face was pressed hard against the carpet, leaving him only able to make muffled groans.

Another burly man was also handcuffed.

The naked girl was terrified the moment the police rushed out. She screamed and collapsed to the ground like a puppet, forgetting even to cry.

One of the burly men stubbornly insisted, "What right do you have to arrest us? We're here to rescue my cousin! That lecherous old man tried to rape her!"

One of the leading policemen sneered: "The old tricks of honey traps, and you're still trying to save people?"

From the moment you entered the room, every word and every action you took was filmed!

These videos are irrefutable evidence! Suspected of extortion! Take him away!

The situation in Chen Qiming's room was somewhat different from that in Wei Guochun's room.

On one side is a "honey trap," and on the other side is the police "arresting prostitutes."

When the knocking sounded, Chen Qiming opened the door.

Outside the door stood a young woman in a hotel waitress uniform, with exquisite makeup and a hot figure, carrying a bag.

Actually, she wasn't really a hotel waitress.

Her uniform was different in style and color from the uniforms of the waitresses at the Qingshan Hotel.

The woman quickly slipped into the room and closed the door behind her.

As soon as she entered, she opened her backpack, which contained several bottles of unidentified liquid and some sex toys.

"Brother, the night is so long, it's so boring being alone."

The woman's gaze became suggestive and bold, her voice sweet and seductive, "I have fine red wine and all sorts of toys, guaranteed to make you completely relax. How about experiencing my unique full-service?"

As she spoke, she skillfully took out a beautifully packaged bottle of red wine from her bag, which was actually a liquid made from aphrodisiacs, along with several suggestive sex toys.

Chen Qiming said sternly, "I'll say it one more time, get out! Or I'll call the police!"

"Call the police?" the woman sneered, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the front of her shirt, ripping it hard!

With a whoosh.

The shirt buttons popped off, the placket was ripped open, and her breasts were half-exposed.

"Help! Indecent assault! Rape!"

The woman suddenly started crying and screaming, tearing her hair into a mess and scratching several red marks on her arms and neck.

Chen Qiming watched her performance calmly, a cold smile playing on his lips.

He knew that the police hiding behind the curtains and in the closet had already filmed this ugly scene.

Suddenly, the door was opened.

The hotel staff opened the door.

Two police officers in uniform rushed in.

Judging from the style of their uniforms, one is a regular police officer and the other is an auxiliary police officer.

The police officer, Liu Dayong, was about forty years old, with a square face and thick eyebrows. He was a police officer from the Public Security Bureau's Public Security Brigade.

The auxiliary police officer was around thirty years old, holding a body camera with the lens pointed at the room.

"Don't move! Police! We've received a report from the public that someone here is suspected of soliciting prostitution!"

Liu Dayong, full of confidence, swept his gaze over the disheveled, weeping woman, then over the sex toys, and finally settled on Chen Qiming.

"Caught red-handed! Arrest him!"

The auxiliary police officer immediately stepped forward to handcuff Chen Qiming.

"Wait!" Chen Qiming raised his hand, stopping the auxiliary police officer's movement. "Officer, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

"A mistake?" Liu Dayong pointed at the disheveled woman and said sternly, "The evidence is conclusive, and you still want to deny it? What's wrong with this woman?"

What's going on with all this stuff? Do you think we're blind?

In my opinion, this is not just prostitution, it's rape! It's a criminal case!

Chen Qiming was not afraid: "This lady barged into my room and tore her own clothes. I did nothing."

I'd like to ask, isn't your response time a bit too fast?

From the moment this woman entered my room, to the moment she started yelling, and then to the moment you broke down the door, it was absolutely no more than three minutes.

Excuse me, how did you manage to do that? Did you stand guard at the door the whole time?

Or could someone have precognitive abilities, knowing that a so-called prostitution case would occur here?

Liu Dayong retorted firmly: "Stop talking nonsense! We were patrolling nearby when we received a report from a member of the public, who claimed that illegal transactions were taking place here. Of course, we had to respond quickly! It's our duty!"

"If you have something to say, go back to the team and explain it clearly! Xiao Zhao, handcuff him!"

Auxiliary police officer Xiao Zhao handcuffed Chen Qiming.

Chen Qiming did not resist, but instead asked, "A report from the public? What is the reporting hotline?"

What is the informant's name? Could you show me your complete dispatch record, including the time you received the call, the departure time, and the arrival time?

As the party involved, I have the right to know this basic information.

Furthermore, according to law enforcement regulations, when you enter a room, shouldn't you first identify yourself, show your identification, and explain your purpose?

Enraged, Liu Dayong interrupted Chen Qiming, "Who do you think you are? Do we need to report to you about procedures when the police are handling a case? You are suspected of violating the law and must cooperate with the investigation! If you keep arguing, you are obstructing official business!"

"Liu Dayong!"

A cold shout, like a thunderclap, resounded in the room.

Two policemen came out at some point.

One of them was Chen, the deputy head of the city's police supervision branch.

Following behind him was the head of the county bureau's inspection team.

Almost simultaneously, Deputy Director Xia Wenping walked in from outside.

"Team Leader Chen? Director Xia? What brings you both here?"

Liu Dayong understood everything.

"How did we get here?" Xia Wenping walked up to Liu Dayong and questioned him. "That's a question I should be asking you, Liu Dayong!"

What are you doing here, wearing this police uniform, carrying police equipment, and driving a police car?

Who dispatched you? Where is your dispatch order?

"I...we received a report..." Liu Dayong stammered.

"A report?" Deputy Chief Chen stepped forward, his voice icy. "Which command center issued the order? What's the alarm record number? Show it to me!"

Liu Dayong was sweating profusely; where could he possibly get the money?

It was just a phone call from Song Xiaolong, and they came over to do their side jobs.

Deputy Squad Leader Chen stopped looking at him and turned to the disheveled woman: "What's your name? Who sent you to this room? Tell the truth!"

The woman stammered, "It was...it was Brother Long, Song Xiaolong. He gave me two thousand yuan and let me in..."

She tore her clothes, screamed for help, and said the police were coming soon, accusing the boss of soliciting prostitution or trying to rape her…

"Song Xiaolong?" Xia Wenping sneered, glaring at Liu Dayong. "Liu Dayong, how much did Song Xiaolong pay you to be so diligent in 'catching prostitutes' so late at night?"

Liu Dayong's face was ashen.

Deputy Chief Chen waved to the accompanying inspectors: "Disarm them, put hoods on them! Take them away! Separate them and interrogate them immediately!"

Wearing a hood is to avoid being seen by the public; real police arrest real police.

Liu Dayong and Xiao Zhao were taken away, like two stray dogs.

The prostitute was also taken away by the policewoman for questioning.

Xia Wenping unlocked Chen Qiming's handcuffs and sincerely apologized: "President Chen, I'm so sorry to have startled you! There's a scoundrel in our team, and our work has shortcomings."

On behalf of the Qingshan County Public Security Bureau, I sincerely apologize to you!

We will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you, and all the entrepreneurs who have invested in Qingshan County, a clear and transparent explanation!

Deputy Chief Chen also solemnly stated: "Rest assured, Chief Chen, the Municipal Public Security Bureau Party Committee has always had zero tolerance for police officers who commit crimes or act as protectors of organized crime!"

Liu Dayong, Song Xiaolong, and their network of connections—none of them will escape this time!

The Municipal Public Security Bureau's Supervision Detachment and Discipline Inspection Team have jointly intervened; they will not rest until the truth is fully revealed!

Chen Qiming nodded: "With Director Xia and Captain Chen's words, I feel more at ease."

Investing is about the environment, but even more so, it's about people's hearts.

What happened tonight, though something I didn't want to see, showed me Qingshan County's determination to undergo painful reform.
