BAD
"Xiao Qi , I found evidence that Tao Tao bought the fire!"
The moment he heard these words, Qi Xingchen first froze for a while, and then directly jumped up from the sofa!
With all the information we have now, whether Tao Tao went to T City to supervise the arson, or Tao Tao Tao instigated Director Li to take the money and run away, or bribed the deputy CFO to make fake accounts and fake invoices, we can't completely nail Tao Tao's charges.
Only the arson point, once confirmed, can definitely put Tao Tao in jail!
Qi Xingchen couldn't imagine that Xu Changlin could find a clue in such a short time, so he swallowed hard, turned on the speakers, and listened with Bai Ye:
"The engineer friend of mine is named Li. After I introduced Mr. Lee to Tao Tao, Mr. Lee made a lot of effort to draw up a construction plan for Tian Cheng for her. However, Tiancheng was built early, and the circuitry was complicated, so non-professionals couldn't understand how to run the wires, so Li introduced Tao Tao to an electrician he knew from supervising the work at the construction site."
"At that time the project was busy, after the introduction of Li Gong has not asked follow-up. As a result, not long after, this rural electrician suddenly bought a house in the city, but also to the circle of friends to send a small video to show off. After watching it, Mr. Li felt a little strange, but didn't think much about it, and thought it was the money he had earned from half a lifetime of hard work."
Qi Xingchen and Bai Ye looked at each other.
What with working half your life to buy a house, this isn't even an inspirational story of changing your destiny with your hands.
It's a fucking crime story!
For fear of leaking information, Xu Changlin did not tell Li Gong the purpose of the inquiry, but asked him for a screenshot of the electrician's circle of friends. Qi Xingchen said, "Uncle, you send it to us to see."
Xu Changlin immediately sent over, Qi Xingchen take a look, well, may be the sake of the unsuspecting, electrician friend circle not only has his own information - named Nie Dawei, from Fuqiang Tun, and even the positioning of the house can be clearly seen.
It's in a newly built neighborhood in H.
It's a great way to get your hands on something.
After turning over the screenshots, Bai Ye's face rarely shows an excited expression: "The fire was set by Nie Dawei, but he certainly did not dare to confess Tao Tao, confess Tao Tao is equivalent to admitting that he arson, which is the death penalty."
"Yes, the police won't work either, we have no visual evidence," Qi Xingchen thought, "If we want to force him to admit, we must use informal means."
What can be used? Qi Xingchen muttered, "Can't tie up his wife and kids and force him to admit it, woe betide his family ......"
Hearing the word "tied up", Bai Ye suddenly thought of something, turned around and hooked Qi Xingchen's chin, "Accompany me to buy something, tomorrow I'll take you to do something bad."
.
In the past, when Bai Ye said "do bad things", Qi Xingchen would have thought wrongly. But now, under special circumstances, he was only surprised by Bai Ye's hooliganism and went to the mall with him to buy a rope, a few sets of pure black clothes, a hat, shoes and other items.
By the end of the night, Qi Xingchen was so scratched up by his plan that he couldn't help but ask, "Just tell me your plan."
Bai Ye: "No."
Qi Xingchen pursued, "Just tell me, Night, please."
Bai Ye put on a difficult look, "Then how about this, you go and order two bowls of noodles, eat with me and I'll tell you."
Because he had been worrying about his family, Qi Xingchen hadn't eaten much lately, about one meal a day. Sometimes the chef brings the food to his room, but he's not in the mood and throws it away after a few bites.
But how can a person suffer without eating, Bai Ye can only find various excuses to coax him to eat from time to time.
Curiosity compels Qi Xingchen to run to the kitchen to cook the noodles, and after being urged to finish another bowl, Bai Ye is finally satisfied and begins to talk about his plan.
Qi Xingchen was all, "Is this really going to work ......"
"Anyway, we can't spook them, try it and change it if it doesn't work."
Hmmm ...... Indeed.
"By the way, we may not have enough men," Bai Ye said, "I'll take A Lun tomorrow, and you can call your brother too."
Qi Xingchen did what he said.
.
Seeing her father come home, Qi Yuji cried ten times worse than Qi Xingchen at night, and the whole villa echoed with her ghostly cries, Qi Xingchen gave them two more bowls of noodles and hurriedly took Bai Ye to escape to his room.
Qi's father was actually quite critical of the fact that his son had taken his date home and shared a room with him. He always thought that his son would take advantage of the opportunity to bully the son of the Bai family, but Qi Yuji made a fuss and forgot all about it, and Qi Xingchen also stayed with Bai Ye for another night.
Not only Xu Changlin's side, but also Bai's mother's side has good news. At 8:30 in the morning, the private detective found the bank branch where the mysterious man withdrew the money. Through Bai's mother's mom's contacts, she got the identity card information of the mysterious man.
From the place of origin, the man is from H city, most likely Tao Tao's men. Next, as long as you find the man, and try to pry out the evidence that he bought the former deputy director of finance to do false accounting, you can clear the suspicion of Qi's tax evasion.
The task of finding someone is naturally and equally given to a private investigator to accomplish.
After explaining with the detective, the two first accompanied Qi old man to the hospital to do a physical examination. The results are promising, the doctor said Qi father's cough caused by dampness and cold, opened a few boxes of proprietary Chinese medicine, and then rest for a while, will soon be cured.
The health of the family is more important than anything else. Hearing that there is no major problem, Qi Xingchen's hanging heart is finally a little more solid.
After sending Qi's father home, the two of them went directly to Night Star Media's temporary landing place - the small residential house.
I opened the door and almost didn't choke on the smoke in the room.
"Ahem, you guys aren't setting the house on fire, are you?"
"Sorry Producer Qi," the screenwriter hurriedly stood up, "Dala and I are heavy smokers, we smoked all night last night and forgot to ventilate this morning, I'll go open the window now."
Smoked all night ......
"It's okay," Qi Xingchen asked, patting Bai Ye on the back as he pushed the window behind him, "You guys didn't sleep last night?"
"Time was too tight, Ms. An accompanied us to get it done overnight, and sent out applications for filming in all three locations ...... Luckily, we had fantasized about where we would shoot and how we would draw the subplots if we could," the director lamented, "What was once an obsession has now backfired as a time-saving tool."
"You're wrong, it's not called being obsessed, it's called always being prepared."
When Qi Xingchen came back from opening the window, Bai Ye helped him smooth out his wind-blown hair.
Watching the intimacy between the two unintentionally, the director & screenwriter: "......"
Stay up late at work and eat dog food in the morning, so upset and angry oh ...... Woof woof woof!
After all, it was his company's first production, so Qi Xingchen sat down and studied with them, not wanting to watch his employees work while he did nothing. With the help of Bai Ye, the team and supporting cast were finalized by the end of the day.
And it's so frugal that many people come for the face of Qi Xingchen and Bai Ye.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ziyu was also willing to take part in the movie for zero pay, which directly solved the problem of a supporting actress - there was no female lead in the movie.
As the evening wore on, Bai Ye gave Qi Xingchen a look, and Qi Xingchen instantly understood and went with him to the bathroom to change into his full black outfit.
The screenwriter was suspicious: "Qi producer, are you guys going to ...... rob a bank?"
Didn't we pull in 800 million dollars of investment? We don't have to work so hard!
"No," Qi Xingchen said awkwardly, "We that ...... wanted to go out shopping and was afraid of being seen, so we covered up a bit more tightly."
"Oooooh ......" The screenwriter nodded plausibly.
Before the screenwriter could react, Qi Xingchen pulled Bai Ye and quickly slipped back into the car.
.
It had been sunny all day, but the sky turned out to be cloudy in the evening. Thick clouds blocked the already small moon, and a few stars squeezed pitifully into the cracks of the dark clouds, blinking half-dead.
Outside a newly-built neighborhood in H City, four men in black clothes and pants, black hats and black shoes hid behind a wall, almost melting into the darkness, so that if they didn't look closely, they couldn't tell that there was anything unusual there.
One of them sneakily said, "Boss, are we really not going to make social headlines?"
Without waiting for the "boss" to answer, a boy next to him made a "ch" sound, "Lun, you've got some guts, don't you? If you can do such exciting things, you didn't lose out on the social headlines last time!"
"You kids don't care, we're public figures ...... Hey, Jiaze, why is your cell phone still on?"
"I'm sharing a location with Tao Xuan then, during the day I told him I was going to do something interesting and he was worried about me, so I put a share on so he wouldn't be able to sleep."
"Hush, quiet," Bai Ye interrupted the two men at this point, "he's coming."
At those words, the two quarreling immediately shut their mouths. Qi Xingchen followed Bai Ye's gaze and looked over--
A man carrying a lunch box in his left hand and a beer in his right - that's Nie Dawei, the electrician!
Maybe it is too dark to see the road, Nie Dawei walks very slowly, now is a good opportunity, four people according to the rehearsed method, from four directions to touch Nie Dawei near ......
Then Bai Ye rushed up to him and strangled Nie Dawei's mouth with his arm. Qi Xingchen, A Lun and Qi Jiaze held him by the waist and legs, and in three tries they got him into a commercial vehicle parked by the side of the road!
Because it happened so suddenly, Nie Dawei didn't realize she had been kidnapped until the car started and she was blindfolded.
"Ahhhh-" He opened his mouth to call for help, and just as he screamed, a lump with a rancid odor was shoved into his mouth in one smooth motion, followed by his hands and feet being bound tightly with ropes.
Who's the other guy? Why did they come to him? Could it be Old Wu, who didn't beat him at mahjong last night, looking for revenge? But Wu couldn't afford to lose a few dozen dollars, could he pay someone to do this?
Or maybe someone else knows he's recently made a fortune and wants to screw him out of some money?
That's no good. I can't give it to them. He'll need it for the rest of his life!
Nie Dawei is in a state of panic, with a million ideas running through his head. When he tried to recognize the kidnapper by his voice, he didn't say a word, as if he was against him.
The car was silent, only his own whimpers, and ragged gasps could be heard.
I don't know how long it took, as if it couldn't stand the loneliness, a voice finally broke the silence, "Big brother, how much longer can we get there?"
"Don't talk!" The man called Big Brother whispered, "Didn't I tell you not to let the meat ticket hear!"
"Jeez, he's going to meet the King of Hell in a while anyway, so just listen."
Nie Dawei: "......"
What, Hades?
Could it be that ...... Could it be that this group is not after wealth, but wants to harm lives?
Nie Dawei panicked even more and his legs began to shake like chaff. However, the "big brother" did not seem to care about the little brother and did not answer his questions.
And drove I do not know how long, the little brother and can not help it, asked in a low voice: "Big brother, you say for no reason, why Miss to get him ah, he is not to help Miss to do a great thing it."
Miss, who is it?
"Just because he helped Miss do great things, Miss had to seal his mouth, after all, only the dead don't talk."
Nie Dawei: "......"
It's over, he guessed right, the other side really wants to harm the life!
The little brother smashed his mouth, "Tch, the lady looks beautiful, but her methods are ruthless enough."
"Shut up and be quiet!" The older brother chided and continued to remain silent.
Good-looking, but particularly ruthless ...... Hearing these few characteristics, Nie Dawei immediately remembered the woman who gave him money to sabotage the circuit some time ago.
At that time he did not resist the temptation, because that is the site to play eight lifetimes of work can not earn money, obsessed with the smoke alarm line changed, and let the wire "accidentally" aging short-circuit ......
It wasn't until he saw the shocking number of deaths and injuries on the news that he realized what a mistake he had made. He couldn't sleep at night, and when he closed his eyes, he could see a pile of burnt men and women demanding his life, and he was on edge all day, but only recently has he gotten a little better.
And when the woman gave him the money, she just flippantly said, "Good job."
No semblance of guilt could be heard in his tone.
But it also makes Nie Dawei even more certain that it's the woman who wants him dead now!
--She could burn so many people without blinking an eye, wouldn't it be easy to kill one of him?
"Whimpering, whimpering -" Nie Dawei tried to beg for mercy, but the smelly rag in his mouth made him whimper mournfully. He kept stomping his legs, slamming his elbows on the car seat, and even banging his head against the door to try to get the attention of the men who were holding him.
Unfortunately, it didn't work, and none of them paid any attention to him.
This time the little brother didn't make another sound until the car stopped. Nie Dawei's legs went numb from shaking, and then he heard the door of the car being pulled open, and two men took hold of him, left and right, dragging him off in an unknown direction.
The night wind was as strong as ever in early June, and the cool sensation of it blowing in Nie Dawei's face made him realize that he was already scared and covered with tears and snot. Shortly after walking, the two men stopped and one of them squeezed his shoulder.
His legs had long been weak through and through, and all at once he was pressed to his knees.
"Brother, what's next, stab them to death and then throw them in the river?"
"No, stabbing to death is easy to leave bloodstains, in case it's discovered it's troublesome. Xiao San, go find a big stone, tie him up later and throw him directly into the river."
Junior smiled, "Okay big brother, I'll go look for it. I love getting people like this, the thought of them sinking to the bottom of the river, wanting to break free but not being able to, and only being able to feel the muddy water slowly filling their lungs, excites me to no end."
"Wooo, wooo!"
The more Nie Dawei heard, the more scared she became. She felt not only cold in the face, but also in the □□ area.
"Aigoo, brother, where's that foul smell ...... OMG, he pissed! Junior, hurry up and find it, it smells awful."
Junior responded, presumably to take care of his companion, and it wasn't long before the sound of dragging something hard came from a short distance away.
Two or three minutes later, the hard object stopped beside Nie Dawei, and the sensation of being wrapped in rope came from his waist. Nie Dawei knew very well that when the rope was finished, it would be the time for him to leave the world of the living. ......
"Ah..."
Accumulated all the way to the fear at this moment all burst out, he used his whole body strength to throw off the junior, body leaning forward, "clunk clunk" to the ground vigorously kowtow.
The surroundings were quiet for a few seconds, and probably impressed by his sincerity, Big Brother sighed, "Hey, he's pretty pathetic too. Eldest, take out the rag and see what last words he has."
"Okay." The oldest two agreed to finish, went up and yanked out the rag.
Although she could speak, Nie Dawei didn't stop kowtowing, crying as she did so: "Please, brothers, please let me go! As long as I can stay alive, I'll give you all the money I have! I'll give you all my money and my house!"
The elder brother, however, said, "Forgive me for not being able to do so, but if the lady wants you to die, you must die."
It turns out that these people listen more to the words of the "lady" than money, Nie Dawei was quick to think of something, and he has never been so smart in his life: "Then can I trouble you all to convey to Ms. Tao that as long as she spares my life, I am willing to work as an ox to repay her in the future. Don't say like this time let me burn dozens of people, burn a thousand, ten thousand will do!"
Hearing "Ms. Tao", the four exchanged glances with each other.
--There's drama!
"Big brother" Bai Ye nuzzles at "Little brother" Qi Xingchen, who nods silently and pinches out his perverted voice: "Aigoo, I was wondering what the lady was looking for you for. I was wondering what the lady wanted you to do, but it turned out to be to start a fire. Come on, tell me how to set a fire, let me have fun."
"Junior!" Big brother said angrily, "I know about this, I'll tell you about it when I get back, just do it."
"No, big brother, you know that's all I'm good for, so let me hear the whole thing."
"...... OK, don't take too long."
Hearing his big brother loosen up, Junior hemmed and hawed at Nie Dawei, "Come on, tell me the story from beginning to end, and as long as you tell it in enough detail and with enough perversity, I'll consider not tying rocks to you."
Tying a rock is a death sentence, but if you don't tie a rock, you might be able to swim up and save your life, Nie Dawei thought nothing of it and made the choice immediately.
Afraid of Junior's regret, Nie Dawei barely paused: "This matter started when Li Gong introduced me to Ms. Tao ......"
Just as Qi Xingchen had asked, Nie Dawei told the whole story of how Tao Tao had talked about seducing him and how she had guided him in every detail. The hearts of those who listened to it felt as if they were being cut repeatedly by a blunt knife, and it was hard to bear.
Nie Dawei was afraid of death and spoke extremely fast, finishing the whole process of the crime in less than five minutes. Qi Xingchen took a deep breath and applauded in admiration, "Not bad, not bad. I'm curious, do you know who our lady is?"
"I-I wouldn't dare know, I don't know anything."
Qi Xingchen raised his hand and threw him a big ear, "What are you pretending with me, say it!"
"Oooo......" Nie Dawei was slapped blind, "I know, I know, I've seen Miss Tao Tao on TV ...... But I'll never say anything about it, and I'll never say anything about what all of you brothers did today!"
Qi Xingchen didn't care what he said, he got up, patted the dust on his pants and turned off the recorder while signaling A Lun to turn off the camera.
.
The most important evidence in hand, not really want to kill, Qi Xingchen removed the cloth on Nie Dawei's eyes, untie the rope on his legs, "can still stand up?"
Suddenly seeing the light again, Nie Dawei was confused for a while. The moment he saw the camera, he realized something.
When he looked back behind him again, there was a dark patch of land with no semblance of a river.
He understood it all.
He'd been fucking played by the little brats in front of him!
"Fuck! Sons of bitches! A bunch of dead 丨妈的□□□丨children!" Nie Dawei couldn't help but curse, "Playing on me, I'm going to get ...... Wooo...... Wooooooooo!"
Qi Jiaze leaned over to pick up the rag and shoved it back into his mouth, "I was kind enough to let you free your mouth, but you started spewing feces, so I'd better keep it in."
"Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh".
Bai Ye hurriedly pulled Qi Jiaze to the side and kicked Nie Dawei in the chest.
"With a muffled thud, Nie Dawei fell to the ground on all fours as he was kicked. The fall sobered Nie Dawei up, and he thought of a problem.
Why are these people trying to get a word in edgewise?
It must be to catch Tao Tao buying and setting fires.
Now that the evidence has been recorded by the other side, he, for sure, will die.
In his grief, Nie Dawei had never regretted a moment in his life as much as he did now. If he hadn't coveted the money, if he had resisted temptation from the start ......
Is it possible that he can still live like he did in the old days when he was poor but happy with his wife and children?
Seeing remorse emerge on his face, Qi Xingchen walked over and said, "We've already called the police, and if you can properly cooperate with the police investigation, you may be able to reduce your sentence appropriately."
"What's the point," Nie Dawei smiled bitterly, "it's still a death sentence."
"It's not the same, you know Tao Tao's methods, if we don't get her soon, there's no telling what retaliation will come to your loved ones."
Loved ones ......
Yes, if he dies, he dies, but his daughter-in-law and children have suffered too much with him in this life, and they can't lose their lives because of him.
Nie Dawei grimaced, closed his eyes, and nodded.
Nie Dawei's agreement means that Tao Tao will be punished, and even more so, it means that the Qi family is about to leave the quagmire once and for all. Qi Xingchen and Qi Jiaze lowered their heads, and their eyes were a little sore.
But this was no place to celebrate, they had to take Nie Dawei to the police station next. Bai Ye took Qi Xingchen into his arms and patted him on the back, "Stop crying, let's go back first, huh?"
"Well," Qi Xingchen wiped away her tears, "Let's go, let's go to the city council."
Qi Jiaze also knew that business was important, so he sniffled, and A Lun helped Nie Dawei up, and the five of them walked together towards the place where they had parked earlier.
Without taking two steps, several beams of bright light suddenly hit them straight in the face, and the crowd subconsciously squinted toward the source of the light.
Not far away, two small cars braked sharply and swerved, stirring up a cloud of dust.
In the dust, Tao Tao and several burly men step out of the car, holding a knife in their left hand and a little girl in their right.
Nie Dawei's teeth almost crushed.
--That's his daughter!
