Chapter 234: One stone stirs up waves!
Qi Tongwei sat in a spacious but slightly dim office, the light was dim, reflecting on his clear-cut but somewhat stern face. He frowned, thinking about the strategy to deal with Liang Tianyi in his mind.
He knew very well that conventional means would not work in this battle with Liang Tianyi. If he simply arrested and interrogated Liang Tianyi, even if he could be detained for several months, it would be very likely that he would not be able to be completely brought down due to insufficient evidence.
Moreover, time was running out and he was unwilling to waste his energy on this lengthy judicial process and wait for the results.
He knew Liang Tianyi's character weaknesses very well. Under his seemingly majestic appearance, he actually hid a timid and cowardly heart.
As long as the pressure is applied skillfully, he will surely lose his composure and be caught in a dilemma.
Therefore, Qi Tongwei decided to take the tactic of stirring up trouble. He first instructed his men to secretly spread the news, pointing out that Liang Tianyi was the instigator of the rape and murder case ten years ago.
Let this breaking news spread quietly among the officials and the people of Jingzhou.
For a time, people were whispering on the streets, and all kinds of rumors spread rapidly as if they had wings.
"Have you heard? It turns out that the big case back then was set up by Liang Tianyi. It's really hard to judge a person by his appearance!"
"How can such a person still hold a high position in the police station? He is totally lawless!"
At the same time, Gao Gang was arranged to start closely monitoring Liang Tianyi, and his every move was under control.
Gao Gang brought a team of elite police officers and set up a dragnet in the places where Liang Tianyi often appeared.
They either disguised themselves as passers-by or lurked in the dark, keeping their eyes closely on Liang Tianyi's residence, office and his daily whereabouts.
Afterwards, Qi Tongwei cleverly connected some old money people who had had interactions with Liang Tianyi, and quietly revealed to them that Liang Tianyi was suspected of harboring illegal and criminal gangs. Although he was not in a hurry to confirm the charges, he deliberately created a tense atmosphere that Liang Tianyi was about to face multiple punishments.
After hearing this, these old money people had their own plans in mind.
They were well aware of the ever-changing situation in officialdom. In order to protect themselves, they began to distance themselves from Liang Tianyi. Some of them even had ulterior motives and deliberately leaked some rumors on some occasions, making Liang Tianyi's situation even more difficult.
The news was like a bombshell, causing a stir in the power circles and underworld of Jingzhou.
Soon, Liang Tianyi became acutely aware of the strange atmosphere around him, and his seemingly calm expression was gradually replaced by panic.
With many years of experience in criminal investigation, he knew clearly that he was caught in a carefully planned encirclement and suppression.
He found that the eyes of people around him began to flicker when they looked at him. The flattery of the past had long disappeared, replaced by a vague sense of alienation and vigilance.
Liang Tianyi sat alone in the slightly empty office of the police station, and the air around him seemed to freeze.
He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar street outside the window, and an inexplicable chill surged in his heart.
His hands were shaking unconsciously, and he was thinking to himself, "What on earth does Qi Tongwei want to do? Why would he suddenly launch such a fierce attack on me? Does he really have solid evidence? No, it's impossible. If he had evidence, he would have arrested me directly. But this posture clearly shows that he wants to kill me."
His men also reported to him that some underworld forces and those old money people seemed to be secretly watching him, like a group of hungry wolves waiting for their prey to reveal a flaw.
Liang Tianyi was trembling with fear, treading on thin ice. He tried to ask Zhao Lichun and Zhao Ruilong for help, but no one answered the phone. He knew that he had become a time bomb that could explode at any time for Zhao Lichun and his son, so they would not take risks easily.
As time went by, Liang Tianyi became more and more afraid to make that call. He knew very well that at this sensitive moment, the more he contacted Zhao Lichun and his son, the more likely he would expose himself and bring them more trouble.
"Am I really going to sit here and wait for death?"
Liang Tianyi roared in his heart, but his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and his brain was in chaos.
He paced back and forth in the house like a wild beast trapped in a cage, trying to find a possible way to escape.
Because he is under controlled investigation, he cannot leave, but he will not be directly convicted. But now everyone inside and outside the venue seems to want to kill him!
"Director Liang is probably in trouble this time. We can't let him get us into trouble."
"Yeah, it's better to stay away from him. Who knows what will happen next."
When Liang Tian heard these discussions, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
He knew very well that the prestige and connections he had built up in the police station over the years had all vanished at this moment.
He felt unprecedentedly lonely and helpless, as if he was in a dark abyss, with no glimmer of hope.
On the other side of the city, Qi Tongwei and Gao Gang were closely watching Liang Tianyi's every move. Qi Tongwei's eyes were firm and deep, and he said to Gao Gang: "Liang Tianyi must have lost his composure now. We must continue to increase the pressure and make him completely collapse. As soon as he makes any unusual moves, we will immediately close the net."
Gao Gang nodded and said, "Deputy Mayor Qi, your move of alerting the enemy is really a good one. People like Liang Tianyi usually rely on their power and background to bully others. Once they encounter a real crisis, they will definitely show their true colors."
Qi Tongwei sneered: "He thought he could do whatever he wanted in the dark corners of this officialdom, but he didn't know that justice may be late, but it will never be absent. This time, I will make him pay a painful price for what he did."
Liang Tianyi was extremely panicked and decided to flee Handong. He hurried back home, packed some luggage, and prepared to embark on the road of escape.
He looked at everything familiar in his home, feeling mixed emotions: "I don't know if I can come back after this departure. But if I stay here, I will die."
Liang Tianyi knew very well that his situation was like being stuck in a quagmire. The more he struggled, the deeper he would sink. However, his instinct for survival made him decide to take a gamble - escape.
In the dimly lit room, Liang Tianyi was packing his things in a panic like a frightened beast. He pulled out clothes from the closet and stuffed them into the black travel bag that he had prepared long ago. His hands kept shaking and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. "Hurry up, hurry up!" He kept urging himself in his heart. He opened the drawer roughly and stuffed his passport, cash, and some important documents into the bag.
"As long as we can leave Handong, there is still a glimmer of hope." Liang Tianyi muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a hint of madness in despair. He didn't bother to pack other things, zipped up his bag, picked up the bag and rushed to the back door behind the house.
When he carefully opened the back door and leaned out, several strong lights shot towards him, blinding him. "Don't move! Put your hands up!" The majestic rebuke made Liang Tianyi's heart sink. He widened his eyes in horror and saw that there were fully armed police officers all around him, staring at him intently.
"You... why are you here?" Liang Tianyi's voice became sharp and piercing because of fear.
The leading policeman sneered: "Liang Tianyi, do you think you can escape? From the moment you had this idea, you have been under our surveillance."
Liang Tianyi's face turned pale, and the bag in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. At this moment, he knew that he was completely finished.
The news spread quickly, and after hearing it, Qi Tongwei showed a barely perceptible smile on his face. He sat at his desk and said to himself, "Liang Tianyi, Liang Tianyi, you are too impatient after all." He turned to Gao Gang beside him and said, "It would take at least two months to thoroughly investigate the problems of a deputy director of a municipal public security bureau. But his running away is tantamount to seeking his own death, and directly confirms his guilt."
Gao Gang nodded and said, "Deputy Mayor Qi, your move of alerting the enemy is really a great move. Liang Tianyi is thrown into disarray. Now he has no way to defend himself."
At the Zhao family, Zhao Ruilong was so angry that he threw the cup on the ground after receiving the news. "This Liang Tianyi is such a waste!" he roared.
Zhao Lichun's face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed. "I had hoped that he could keep calm and let the people who handled the case back then solve the matter. I didn't expect him to be so timid and run away first."
Zhao Ruilong gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, this is troublesome. Liang Tianyi's escape will definitely involve many things. What should we do?"
Zhao Lichun was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Let's take a look at the situation first and try to clear ourselves. Liang Tianyi is no longer reliable, so we can only think of ways to protect our own interests."
When Liang Lu heard the news in the school office, her face turned pale. "Brother, why are you so confused?" Her voice was filled with tears. She knew that Liang Tianyi's escape was equivalent to sending himself to a dead end, and the entire Liang family would be dragged into the abyss.
Liang Qunfeng, who was under house arrest for investigation, was in a small room. When he heard the guards whispering about Liang Tianyi's escape, he panicked. "It's over, it's over, our Liang family is going to be wiped out. Tianyi, how could you do such a stupid thing!" Liang Qunfeng pounded the table in despair, his eyes full of regret and helplessness.
Liang Tianyi was taken to the police car by the police, his eyes were empty and desperate. "I shouldn't have run, I shouldn't have run..." He kept repeating. He knew that his momentary impulse not only ruined his future, but also pushed the entire Liang family into an irreparable situation.
In the police station, the lights in the interrogation room were blindingly bright. Liang Tianyi sat on a chair with his head drooped. The interrogator asked sternly, "Liang Tianyi, why did you run away?"
Liang Tianyi was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly: "I... I was scared. I knew I made a mistake. I thought I could escape this disaster by running away."
The interrogator sneered: "Do you think you can escape the punishment of the law? Your running away just proves that you are guilty."
Liang Tianyi defended himself feebly: "I didn't kill anyone. That case back then... I was too impatient. I was wrong. I was really wrong."
However, no matter what he said at this time, it was too late. His escape had put him in an extremely passive situation, and what awaited him was a severe trial by law.
With the arrest of Liang Tianyi, the officialdom of Jingzhou was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. All parties are re-examining their positions and situations, and the truth behind this incident will gradually surface as the investigation deepens.
After Liang Tianyi was arrested, his calm expression gradually collapsed under the strong light of the interrogation room. After a psychological game, he finally couldn't stand the pressure and began to reveal the secrets behind the case.
"I'll tell you everything!" Liang Tianyi's voice trembled with despair, "The people who handled the case back then all received benefits from our Liang family."
This confession was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves. The Discipline Inspection Commission and the Procuratorate immediately took action, and based on the clues provided by Liang Tianyi, arrest warrants were quickly issued. Those who had been involved in handling the case, no matter where they are now, were caught in the center of this storm.
Some of the relevant personnel had already been transferred away from their local area, or even to other provinces. They thought that with the passage of time and the change of geographical location, they could escape the responsibility for what they did. However, the law is long and there is no loophole. The staff of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Procuratorate were like precise hunters, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers to arrest them one by one.
Some of those detained tried to argue when they were taken away: "It's been so many years, why are they arresting me now? There must be a mistake!" But their pale excuses seemed so powerless in the face of the hard evidence.
As the interrogation deepened, a shocking truth gradually surfaced - almost all of them had intricate interests with the Liang family. These interests were like a huge black net, covering the case of that year, causing judicial justice to be ruthlessly trampled upon.
Liang Qunfeng, the once highly respected Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, was also caught up in this wave of investigations. Although the case directly implicating him did not seem to constitute a serious crime, his role in the incident could not be ignored.
"Liang Qunfeng must be held accountable for what he did!" a staff member of the Discipline Inspection Commission said seriously.
In official circles, news spreads faster than the wind. The news of Liang Qunfeng's investigation spread quickly, attracting attention and discussion from all sides.
"I didn't expect that Liang Qunfeng would end up like this." An official bystander muttered softly.
Liang Qunfeng himself also felt unprecedented pressure. He sat in the room where he was under house arrest, his face pale, his eyes revealing a trace of unwillingness and despair. He knew very well that he could not keep his position as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission no matter what.
