Heward and four police officers who rushed into the house were outside searching the room.
This rental house is not big to begin with, and the situation inside can be imagined at a glance.
Howard rushed to the window and raised his gun, but saw no one outside the window.
He directed a police officer to climb out of the window and jump onto the roof of the nearby bungalow to search.
Howard didn't care at all about Lu Changqing's body on the bed.
As the two police officers searched the house, Howard's eagle eyes revealed various emotions including astonishment, confusion, and anger.
A foreign police officer shook his head at Howard, apparently he didn't find anything.
Xie Wan guessed that they were looking for the suitcase and the 280,000 yuan in it.
After a while, the police officer who jumped out of the window came back to report that he found no signs of anyone escaping through the window.
"This person seems to have died suddenly from alcoholism? There are no external injuries.
Sir, what are we looking for?
The only Chinese police officer raised questions.
Howard glanced at his men and asked fiercely, "Who? Who leaked the news?"
He seemed to begin to suspect that it was his own men who leaked the news of the operation and caused the people to escape.
The Chinese police officer probably knew nothing and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Before coming here, we didn't know what we were doing here, what kind of news would we leak?
Didn't you say you received a tip that someone had died here?"
Howard swung his baton at the Chinese police officer and cursed, "Assholes, you must have leaked the news and let the criminal escape."
The Chinese police officer staggered after being hit by the baton. A look of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. He suppressed his anger and stepped aside.
Howard searched the house again himself, but still found nothing. He said to the Chinese police officer, "Washington, you stay and finish the job."
After saying this, he angrily left with three other foreign police officers.
Hua Sheng spat on the ground and cursed, "Foreign dog! F**k! If Inspector Lu hadn't left, you wouldn't have gotten the chance to act wild in front of me."
Howard came and went like the wind, and Xie Wan stayed in the space and saw the situation outside clearly.
Howard must be one of the insiders.
Even if he didn't know the whole story, he definitely knew that Lu Changqing would die in this rental house today, and he knew that there was a suitcase in the rental house.
Seeing Huasheng outside calling his men in to clean up the scene, Xie Wan guessed that they would need some time and there was no point in leaving the space now.
Only then did she have time to pay attention to Xu Bing.
She injected Xu Bing with an anesthetic needle. According to the dosage, he should not wake up for another hour.
Xie Wan was planning to practice on the side, but Xiao Zhi came over and glanced at him furtively, as if he had something to say.
"What? You want to go out now?
There are policemen everywhere outside, be careful or they might step on you to death."
Xiao Zhi shook his head repeatedly, with a flattering look on his face. He looked back and saw that his son and wife had not followed him. Then he quietly asked Xie Wan: "Boss, can you give me some smart water?"
Smart water is the liquid made by diluting the marrow cleansing pill with water, which can give ordinary mice a little more intelligence.
Every time Xie Wan asked Xiao Zhi to go out and subdue the local rats, he would give it some to help it recruit subordinates.
Because Gangcheng is his hometown, Xiaozhi already has an underground network. Xie Wan was afraid that if he gave too much, Gangcheng would suffer from a rat plague, so he did not give Xiaozhi any smart water this time.
"What's the matter? Haven't you already unified the Kowloon Peninsula? Do you still want to expand outward?"
Xiao Zhi said awkwardly, "Most of the backbones I developed in the past have moved to the middle of the mountain to enjoy a better life.
Although the mice in this area have heard of my fame, they are still not smart and are too stupid.
If this wasn't a slum with lots of rats, we wouldn't be able to find the person outside.
But it took them three days to find someone. If there were a few smart people, they would have found him long ago."
Xie Wan held his forehead with his hand, "You rats, why do you want to jump to a higher class after becoming smarter?
You gave them smart water to drink, and they became the backbone of development, but once you leave, they will still run to the rich area. "
Xiao Zhi sighed: "Water flows to the low places, and mice go to the high places. There is nothing we can do about it.
The rich people on the hillside eat shark fin and abalone every day, and the rats there make a lot of money.
This is a slum with too many rats and too little porridge. The living pressure is great. If you can enjoy a good life, who would be willing to stay here and suffer?
But after all, only a few people can go halfway up the mountain.
I want to rule the rat world and help you gather information. I still need grassroots rats to do the work, but I can't command tens of thousands of rats by myself. I can't do it without developing middle-level rats!"
Xie Wan expressed deep sympathy and gave Xiaozhi a bottle of smart water so that it could control itself.
She was really a little worried. If all the rats in Hong Kong City became spirits, it would cause big trouble.
Xie Wan heard the voice of the Huasheng police officer outside: "No, this man was murdered."
Even Xie Wan thought that Lu Changqing died suddenly from alcoholism. Before she had the time to perform an autopsy on the body, the police arrived.
How come Huasheng found out that Lu Changqing didn't die suddenly without performing an autopsy?
Just before Howard left, he said that the body should be treated as sudden death from alcoholism.
Xie Wan turned his attention outside again.
Outside, Lu Changqing had been put into a body bag, but the zipper had not been closed.
Huasheng squatted beside the corpse, fiddling with the head with his fingers.
Behind him stood several of his men, all local police officers.
Hua Sheng said: "This man's expression is too calm. Do you remember what Inspector Lu told us before? If someone dies suddenly from a cardiac arrest due to alcoholism, their expression will be very painful, because they will have convulsions before they die."
One of his men retorted: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe he's already too drunk to be conscious, and he doesn't feel any pain from the convulsions."
Hua Sheng shook his head, "No, when I was investigating a case with Inspector Lu, I saw a person who died suddenly from alcoholism. His expression would never be so calm.
I didn’t pay attention to it when I followed the foreign dog here before. I just remembered it when I saw it just now.
Please search the scene carefully to see if there are any other clues."
The subordinate said, "Why bother? Howard said that it was a case of sudden death from alcoholism and that we could just collect the body. He didn't even call the medical examiner. Why are you looking for trouble, Brother Hua?"
Hua Sheng hesitated for a moment and said, “Detective Lu ran away, and I don’t want to work for foreigners.
But today, Howard inexplicably brought so many of us to respond to the call, and when he saw this dead man, he turned around and left without even investigating. There must be something fishy going on.
Humph, he doesn’t want to check, but I still want to check.
Look at this case and see what’s fishy about it.”
After hearing this, Xie Wan couldn't help but feel a little favorable towards Hua Sheng outside.
I used to think that the police officers in Hong Kong in the 1970s were all a bunch of crap, but I didn’t expect there were some capable ones.
Several Chinese detectives searched the rental house again and complained: "This house has been turned upside down. Even if there are any clues, we can't find them clearly."
Huasheng picked up the empty bottle on the ground and put it under his nose to sniff it. He frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "This scene is fake."
