After speaking with Chen Ke on the phone, Chen Rou suddenly understood why Zhang Ziqiang was so hard to find.
It can be said that despite so many gangsters in Kowloon and so many eyes watching him, they can't touch his men.
He wasn't in Kowloon at all, he was on the island.
However, he is not in the densely populated Central district or the Peak area. Instead, he is at the foot of Happy Valley, where there is a roundabout expressway and a building materials distribution terminal at the end.
Because building materials are transported by large trucks and there are no residents nearby, it is a place that few people know about.
Further along from the pier, in a residential area, there is a piece of land owned by a woman who, according to the notice board, is British and whose name is also in English. For several years, that area has been fenced off and under construction.
Because of its Western-style building outline, nearby residents even speculated that it might be a church under construction.
But last night, Chen Ke and his team sneaked in and searched the place in the middle of the night, and then they solved the case.
The British woman who owns the land is presumably Guo Fuzheng's sister.
The enclosed area inside was a residence that was neither Chinese nor Western, a hodgepodge of styles.
Its east room has an eight-immortal table, and the west room has Roman columns. There is a luxurious and stylish wine tasting room, but inside there is a huge tea table sculpted in the shape of an old man who is so ugly it's an eyesore.
The homeowner used the best materials and the decoration was extremely luxurious, but the house was ugly, so ugly it could make you cry.
Chen Ke didn't actually guess it was Guo Xiaobai's house at the time, but Yue Zhongqi immediately concluded that it must be Guo Xiaobai's house, because no one but nouveau riche like the Guo brothers could afford to decorate such an ugly house.
Behind that villa was an air-raid shelter, originally built by the government. However, Guo Xiaobai bought it when he bought the land. As a nouveau riche, he loved land the most. So, the air-raid shelter was already quite large, built against the mountain. But like a groundhog, he carried out the spirit of his ancestors who were not afraid of hardship or fatigue when they were fighting tunnel warfare, and actually moved the air-raid shelter all the way to the back of the building materials dock, on the cliff.
Chen Ke found it all unbelievable, saying, "Guo Xiaobai spent a lot of effort and money digging the tunnel, and only stopped when he found that the tunnel might collapse. I don't understand what he was thinking, but for Zhang Ziqiang, it was a good place to stay."
Although Chen Ke didn't understand, Chen Rou did.
During the years she served as a special police officer, it was the peak season for residential property sales. News reports frequently surfaced about first-floor residents digging down to create basements, turning the entire building into a dangerous structure.
The brains of those people are beyond the comprehension of normal people.
However, Guo Xiaobai created an extremely favorable prerequisite for Zhang Ziqiang.
Just like Inspector Fok, who grew up in Hong Kong, he also made a bold statement, leading all the police officers in Kowloon to search every inch of Kowloon, look through every basement, and catch the person.
Little did he know that Cheung Tze-keung's hiding place had just been unearthed.
What's even more ingenious is that since both sides are connected, if someone tries to arrest him on one side, Cheung Tze-keung will run to the other side, and if someone tries to arrest him on the other side, he will run to this side. Both exits are connected.
He also had a dozen or so loyal subordinates, all armed with heavy firearms.
Even if the police surround him from both sides, unless they deploy a large enough force, they will have no chance of catching him.
After all, if a dozen or so AKs were to come at them, the Hong Kong police would be afraid; they wouldn't dare risk their officers' lives.
But now that we've found him, things are much easier. Next step: catch him!
Of course, this needs to be planned in advance, and a foolproof plan needs to be devised, because in Hong Kong, without evidence and a search warrant issued by superiors, the police cannot trespass on private property.
If a criminal is apprehended illegally, the other party can protest in court. If the lawyer is capable enough to persuade the jury, the criminal can be released in court.
Moreover, Cheung Tze-keung was based on Hong Kong Island, and Chen Ke and his team had no authority to land on the island to investigate the case, so arresting him would be pointless.
After listening to Chen Ke's analysis, Chen Rou thought for a moment and then asked, "You've found the air-raid shelter, so you must have taken some measures, right? Can you eavesdrop on Zhang Ziqiang?"
Chen Ke said, "Yes, there are, but because we can't go any deeper, we only installed listening devices at Guo Xiaobai's house and the entrance to the air-raid shelter. We can only listen to these two places. Let's keep in touch if we have any news."
Guo Xiaobai was the only one of the three Guo brothers to go abroad. Because he was good at business and particularly good at currying favor with people, he gradually became part of Hong Kong's wealthy class.
However, Chen Rou had never met him, since he was currently only in the middle management and didn't even have the qualifications to meet Nie Zhao.
But that brat Guo Fuzheng, since his father insists on associating with a ruthless bandit, his death is probably just around the corner.
Chen Rou was on the phone at the gym. Just as she hung up, she heard Nie Jiajun exclaim, "Ouch, that hurts!"
Next came Nie Han: "Are you even a boy? Stop whining. How strong is A Yuan? He could kick you so hard. Go away, I'll play with him."
Chen Rou walked over and saw Xiao A Yuan lying on the floor of the study. Nie Jiajun was tickling the soles of his feet and said, "Sis, you should try it. That kick he gave me just now really hurt."
Then, pointing to the little guy's nose, he said, "Come on, give your older sister a kick too, let her see how strong you are."
A truly likable child will naturally be able to read people's expressions.
