Qi Tongwei's Rebirth: Playing the Bell and the Qin, He Surpasses Heaven.

When Wu Shanheng arrived, Qi Tongwei was staring intently at the test paper on the table.

There are three sets of test papers: math, Chinese, and biology, plus a small portion of a science paper.

When Qi Tongwei saw him arrive, he didn't stand on ceremony and pointed to the test papers on the table.

"You graduated from Shanghai University, come and take a look at these practice papers..."

Wu Shanheng, puzzled, picked up a set of biology books and started reading.

The paper on the exam paper was of poor quality, and the print was somewhat blurry; it was clearly a photocopy.

At first, Wu Shanheng didn't take it seriously, but after just a couple of glances, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Seeing that he was reading so intently, Qi Tongwei wasn't in a hurry. He lit a cigarette and waited for him to finish reading.

Wu Shanheng didn't understand Qi Tongwei's meaning. He quickly glanced at the document and asked softly.

"County Chief Qi, what's wrong with this exam paper? What's the problem?"

Qi Tongwei didn't keep them in suspense and asked directly.

"What do you think of the quality of this exam paper? Does it resemble a real exam paper?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Shanheng pondered for a moment before answering honestly.

"The questions were of a very high standard, with the knowledge points evenly distributed, even better than the mimeographed papers from Huanggang."

Qi Tongwei nodded but didn't respond.

He handed Wu Shanheng a piece of paper and pointed to a geometry problem on the math paper.

"You didn't return it to the teacher, did you? Can you solve it?"

Wu Shanheng adjusted his glasses and said with a smile.

"Even though it's been a long time since I graduated, high school geometry shouldn't be a problem... I'll give it a try..."

Although he spoke modestly, he was very efficient in his actions.

The problem was solved in less than three minutes, and the result was 4.2 centimeters.

Qi Tongwei looked at his result and nodded. The result was correct, just as he had calculated.

He picked up a ruler and handed it to Wu Shanheng. "Measure him..."

Wu Shanheng was taken aback, but immediately understood what he meant.

He took the ruler and measured the side length of the shape: 4.2 centimeters, exactly as he had predicted.

Wu Shanheng glanced at Qi Tongwei, then at the title of the exam paper, and exclaimed in surprise.

"This...it can't be the actual exam questions, can it? It's that strict?"

Qi Tongwei didn't answer, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and asked again.

"You also think it looks like the actual exam question?"

Wu Shanheng nodded, his voice trembling slightly.

"It's incredibly similar! The knowledge points are fully covered, and the difficulty level of the questions is just right..."

"Especially the accuracy of this graphic... even practice sheets wouldn't be this precise."

"County Chief Qi, where did you get these exam papers? Are they past exam questions?"

Qi Tongwei didn't say anything, but waved to him.

"You can go back now. I'll call you if I need anything."

Finally, he added, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today!"

Wu Shanheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Before Wu Shanheng arrived, Qi Tongwei had already concluded that these exam papers were probably genuine.

He called Wu Shanheng to come so that he could confirm it.

The question setter is highly skilled; the difficulty level and distribution of knowledge points are consistent with the college entrance examination (Gaokao) guidelines.

The style of the questions also reveals that they were created by a group of people, not by one person.

Most importantly, the drawings on this scroll are all drawn to scale, without the slightest error!

In the office, Qi Tongwei remained silent for a long time; the room was eerily quiet.

Zhang Ye was serving his sentence in northern Hebei and has just been released.

A layabout with only an elementary school diploma, carrying three sets of high-quality past exam papers, fled to the western frontier.

He opened a college entrance exam tutoring class and dared to sell three sets of exam papers for 2000 yuan!

Released prisoners, past college entrance examination papers, prisoners serving time at the First Prison in Hebei Province...

These three seemingly unrelated clues collided and instantly created a chemical reaction.

Qi Tongwei's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly as an idea popped into his head.

Zhang Ye stole the 1991 science college entrance examination papers from the printing plant of the First Prison in Jibei!

It's not just one set, it's three sets: math, Chinese, and biology!

The idea was audacious, even a little crazy and terrifying; he himself couldn't believe it.

Qi Tongwei smoked one cigarette after another until he finished a whole pack, then he slowly got up.

After locking the exam paper in the drawer, he didn't hesitate any longer and went straight to Qin Xuefeng's office.

......

When Qin Xuefeng saw Qi Tongwei arrive, he took off his reading glasses and greeted him with a smile, inviting him to sit down.

"Tongwei, what's up? Not here to freeload again, are you... We're out of tea..."

Qi Tongwei smiled, sat down opposite him, and spoke softly.

"Secretary Qin, I have something to report to you..."

His expression was serious, and he tried to recount the events to Qin Xuefeng as simply as possible.

After recounting the whole story, he paused for a moment and then gave his conclusion.

"I suspect that Zhang Ye stole this set of exam papers from the prison printing plant."

"It's very likely to be the actual science exam paper from this year's college entrance examination."

After listening, Qin Xuefeng remained silent for a long time.

He licked his slightly dry lips, glanced at Qi Tongwei, and tentatively began to speak.

"Tongwei...have you been under too much pressure lately? How could the college entrance exam questions have been stolen?"

"You know, the national college entrance examination papers are classified at the national level..."

Before Qin Xuefeng could finish speaking, Qi Tongwei immediately chimed in.

"Secretary, it's precisely because of the high level of secrecy that we can't afford to ignore this matter."

Qin Xuefeng tossed him a cigarette and slowly asked, "What's your problem?"

Qi Tongwei got up to help him light the fire, but he didn't stop talking.

"This sounds outrageous, but it's logically feasible."

"Zhang Ye is serving his sentence at the Jibei No. 1 Prison, which gave him access to the exam papers."

"He just got released from prison and came to Xinjiang to sell exam papers... and at such high prices."

"The logic and motive are both sound; I recommend an immediate arrest!"

Qin Xuefeng was taken aback, took two deep drags of his cigarette, and felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

"What if we arrest the wrong person? How do we handle that? It's easy to invite a god in, but hard to send him away..."

Qi Tongwei sighed, lowered his voice, and explained to Qin Xuefeng.

"Secretary, I've thought about this matter; there's no question of arresting the wrong person."

"If the exam papers are fake, these two are committing fraud. 2000 yuan a set is enough to get them convicted."

"If the exam paper is real..."

Qi Tongwei stopped mid-sentence and raised an eyebrow at Qin Xuefeng.

Qin Xuefeng was taken aback, narrowed his eyes slightly, and nodded.

He finally understood what Qi Tongwei meant: it's better to arrest the wrong person than to let one go!

If you arrest the wrong person, you'll be charged with fraud; if you arrest the right person, you'll be accused of preventing a national-level leak.

He had a clear understanding of this deal.

Qin Xuefeng stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and spoke in a deep voice.

"Comrade Qi Tongwei, notify the public security authorities to approve his arrest immediately!"

Qi Tongwei didn't say anything, but immediately grabbed the phone on the table and dialed Liu Yuntian's number.

When the call connected, Qi Tongwei nodded to Qin Xuefeng and said in a deep voice.

"Director Liu, this is Qi Tongwei. I'm here in Secretary Qin's office to deliver your orders."

"Notify Su Lie, who is lying in ambush, to immediately take control of the Zhang brothers, Zhang Tai and Zhang Ye!"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Yuntian was taken aback for a moment, then immediately answered in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"

He didn't ask why, nor did he waste any words.

Qi Tongwei made it very clear that this was a decision made by the county committee, and he would carry it out immediately!

......

Half an hour later, the phone on Qin Xuefeng's desk rang.

Qi Tongwei picked up the phone and immediately said in a deep voice.

"I am Qi Tongwei."

Liu Yuntian's voice rang out from the other end of the phone, crisp and clear.

"County Chief Qi, the Zhang brothers are under control. Please provide further instructions."

Qi Tongwei covered the phone, looked at Qin Xuefeng, and asked softly.

"Secretary Qin, the man has been apprehended. What are your instructions?"

Qin Xuefeng nodded and replied softly, "You have full authority to handle this."

Qi Tongwei nodded and spoke into the microphone in a deep voice.

"Immediately conduct a surprise interrogation. Zhang Ye is suspected of stealing the college entrance examination papers."

"We must find out the source of the exam papers and who handled them!"

"clear!"

Liu Yuntian hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked a question.

"County Chief Qi, should we report this matter to our superiors?"

Qi Tongwei hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

"Without a confession, we'll be in a very passive position if we report it. Let's get a confession first."

"You proceed with the interrogation first, I'll be right there..."
