Chapter 14 This mouth is too sharp.
Qi Tongwei stopped his motorcycle as he passed a fruit shop.
"Junior, wait for me a moment, I'm going to buy some fruit."
"Um"
Qin Xue nodded.
Qi Tongwei walked into the fruit shop and looked around.
"Boss, do you have frozen watermelon?"
An older man rushed over, "Yes, young man."
"Boss, is this melon guaranteed to be sweet?"
"Guaranteed sweet, young man. This melon comes from southern Xinjiang; it's absolutely guaranteed to be sweet."
The owner gave a warm introduction.
"Then you pick one for me. If it's not sweet, I'll have to come back to you."
"Young man, don't worry, if it's not sweet, I'll buy you two."
"Boss, you really know how to do business. That sounds nice."
"Although it's a small business, we still know that honest business is the only way to last. It's like the saying 'the customer is always right'."
"Boss, you've already caught up with international standards; you're bound to make a fortune!"
"Thanks for your kind words, young man. Your girlfriend is so beautiful, how about buying some grapes? They're from southern Xinjiang too."
"Okay, can you pick out two skewers for me and pack them separately?"
The shop owner paused for a moment, then said, "Young man, this is a bit too blatant."
"What is the boss saying? Even after you have a wife, you can't forget your mother."
"Yes, yes, look at me, the young man is so thoughtful. My wife and my mother argue the moment they meet."
"That's how the older generation is. My mom and grandma were always bickering, like roosters. But now that my grandma has passed away, my mom is starting to miss her."
The boss chuckled, "Young man, what do you do? You're so eloquent, are you a salesman?"
"Boss, I was just praising you, and now you're so clueless, you can't even tell it's a prosecutor's uniform."
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I was blind, prosecutor, I'll give you a 50% discount."
"Boss, this reaction is excessive. It makes it seem like our procuratorate is some kind of mountain bandit, where we can just give whatever we're owed, as long as we don't shortchange you."
"I misspoke, I misspoke, prosecutor. I assure you I would never dare to fabricate anything."
"Boss, don't be nervous. My clothes aren't that scary. Don't worry, I won't knock on your door in the middle of the night."
Qi Tongwei handed the shop owner a hundred-yuan bill, and the shop owner habitually touched it to check if it was real or fake.
Here's your change, come back if you like it.
"If it's delicious, I'll recommend it to more of my colleagues."
The boss gave a wry smile, "Thank you, prosecutor."
Qi Tongwei laughed heartily, "Boss, look how scared you are, I was just kidding."
"Take care, prosecutor."
Qin Xue heard all of these words clearly. She wondered how Qi Tongwei, who wasn't from Northeast China, could talk so much.
"Let's go, junior, hold on tight!"
Qi Tongwei mounted his motorcycle and sped away at breakneck speed.
The boss wiped the sweat from his brow, "This kid's probably a living devil."
Back in the prosecutor's office, Qi Tongwei placed a watermelon and a bunch of grapes on Zhou Mei's desk.
"Sister Zhou, the watermelon is for everyone, this bunch of grapes is for you."
"Why would I eat grapes? Give them to Xiao Qin."
"Sister Zhou, there are some junior students too."
Qi Tongwei took a bunch of grapes and walked over to Qin Xue, placing them in front of her.
"Thank you for your hard work, junior."
"Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious, Qin Xue. Don't be naive; these are just sweet-talking bullets from Qi Tongwei."
Gao Qi jumped out in a sarcastic tone, making unfounded accusations.
"Gao Qi, are you a leopard that can't stop eating shit? Jealousy makes people unrecognizable, that's exactly what you're like, a despicable person."
Qi Tongwei certainly wouldn't tolerate him; a counterattack was necessary.
"Qi Tongwei, you're the dog! By the way, Inspector Ji wants you to go to his office. Did you get into trouble again? You're such a troublemaker!"
"Gao Qi, someone like you wouldn't even be considered a monster in Journey to the West; at best, you'd be one of the bandits Sun Wukong killed."
Qi Tongwei's mouth is really sharp, Qin Xue couldn't help but laugh.
Zhou Mei said speechlessly, "You two shouldn't be fighting every time you meet. Tongwei, hurry up and go to Inspector Ji's place."
"Okay, Sister Zhou, it's not that I want to deal with him, it's just that he's like a pest, he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't get scolded every day."
"Qi Tongwei, you're the real scoundrel, you're like a medicated plaster."
"Wow, you've even learned to apply what you've learned to other situations; you're starting to get smart."
Qi Tongwei took a fruit knife out of the drawer.
"Qi Tongwei, what do you want to do?"
Gao Qi started to panic.
Qi Tongwei wiped the fruit knife with a tissue. "Gao Qi, I'm telling you, is this all the courage you have? You still dare to talk back to me like that all the time. I'm ashamed for you."
"Qi Tongwei, a gentleman uses words, not fists. Let's make a three-point agreement."
Gao Qi was a complete coward.
Qi Tongwei carried the watermelon to his desk, cut it in half, took a small piece from the middle, and gave the rest to Zhou Mei.
"Gao Qi, you're the kind of person who's all brawn and no brains. I'll deal with you when I get back."
"Qi Tongwei, you should pray for yourself."
Qi Tongwei took a slice of watermelon, walked out, and went to Ji Changming's office, where he politely knocked on the door.
"Come in"
Qi Tongwei walked in with a smile. "Inspector Ji, you've worked hard. Have a slice of watermelon to cool off."
"You think you can apologize with a piece of watermelon? You're overthinking it."
Ji Changming said with a serious expression, "You dare to demolish a police station? Tell me, what wouldn't you dare to do?"
Qi Tongwei carefully placed the watermelon in front of Ji Changming.
"Chief Prosecutor Ji, calm down. Even if someone is sentenced to death, shouldn't we at least hear the defendant's statement?"
"You speak, I'm listening."
"Prosecutor Ji, you gave the order, and the police were nominally cooperating, but they just gave me a bunch of messy materials. I tolerated it, thinking that if I could find some useful information, I would have gained something. You sent me there, Prosecutor Ji, so I can't let you down."
"Later, the criminal police captain Yang Ming came. I had a bit of a disagreement with him before. At the hospital, he suspected that I was in cahoots with the kidnappers and wanted to arrest me. Secretary Xu happened to see this and reprimanded him. That's how he started to hold a grudge against me."
Ji Changming nodded; so that was the reason.
"That's police territory, can't you behave yourself a little?"
"Yang Ming didn't give me a chance. He immediately said he would detain me for ten days, half a month, or even a year or two. I can't let the procuratorate down like this. So what if the police are here? Do they think they can just sit on the procuratorate's neck and do whatever they want?"
"Stop trying to sow discord, kid. The public security, procuratorate, and court are all one family. So how did you end up arguing with Director Zheng?"
Qi Tongwei feigned a wronged expression, "Prosecutor Ji, it's not my fault. I'm like a kite with a broken string; no one's there to pull me up, so when trouble comes, I have to do it all myself."
Ji Changming finally understood how sharp this kid's tongue was; he was deliberately provoking him without offering any support.
"Tell me the truth, don't give me that nonsense."
Qi Tongwei chuckled, "Director Zheng is just being protective. When my temper flares up, I don't care about anything else."
Ji Changming tapped the table. "So you know you're stubborn, huh? Let me tell you the truth: if you keep going like this, you're not far from being fired."
"I will keep the leader's teachings in mind and will never make the same mistake again."
"Don't promise me you won't get into a fight with someone again when we go to the publicity department for photos tomorrow."
"I will absolutely obey the orders of the propaganda department leaders."
Go, go!
Goodbye, Boss
He Aijun called Ji Changming, meaning he wanted Qi Tongwei to investigate Duan Xiaojun's case to see if he was innocent.
Since He Aijun had spoken up, Ji Changming naturally went along with it, since he couldn't be the one to take the lead anyway.
The Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department.
Zhao Donglai also arrived. He killed the kidnapper leader and was awarded a third-class merit. He was a young and energetic policeman, perfect for publicity.
