Chapter 59: Draw an updated map.
Lin Meiqi came out of the interrogation room. He Wanyi was not watching on the surveillance screen. She hurriedly walked up to her and asked, "How was it? Did she say anything?"
Lin Meiqi replied: "Ran Tian did not point to a specific person, but it is certain that this matter is related to Kowloon Walled City. Her goal is the same as that of the people behind Kowloon Walled City, which is to create more chaos."
"I believe she must have experienced something unpleasant, but isn't this going to the other extreme?"
"Yes, Ran Tian is still a student, she is not mature and can be easily taken advantage of. If there are still some people like her and they are taken advantage of by Kowloon Walled City, it will be terrible."
He Wanyi wondered: "But how can we investigate? Since she didn't mention the specific person's name, we don't know where to start."
"This won't be the only clue that can lead to a breakthrough. The current situation in Kowloon Walled City has created an opportunity for us. The more chaotic it is, the easier it is for the police to get in. The forces that have been entrenched here for so many years are about to be eradicated. They are unwilling to accept this, and some deals must be concluded as soon as possible to gain more benefits. This is the source of their motivation."
"It seems that we need to deploy more police patrols near Kowloon Walled City recently."
As Feng Charlie spoke, he took out the structural map of the interior of Kowloon Walled City from five years ago and prepared to set up the rotation point.
Lin Meiqi glanced at the map and said, "The information in this map is definitely incomplete. Not many people can enter the Kowloon Walled City, and once inside, they are easily treated as aliens and driven out. The point is, unless this map was drawn by an insider, it is not convincing. It's okay to set up control on the outer edge, but once inside, you may be like a fly flying around."
"We need to find some people to infiltrate."
"Then you have to be completely inconspicuous. Otherwise, a stranger going in twice in a row will arouse suspicion, unless you want to do some kind of transaction and get involved in some of their affairs."
Feng Charlie nodded, "As for makeup, we have professionals. The makeup artist who did Ge Mingyi's makeup has done a lot of special effects makeup. For her, any kind of old age makeup or high-tech makeup is not a problem. It shouldn't be difficult to find a few plainclothes officers to do the makeup and let them blend in."
He Wanyi glanced at Lin Meiqi and said, "Wow, in that case, half of the problem is solved!"
"That's fine. I'll apply to enter as well," said Lin Meiqi.
Feng Charlie nodded: "Everyone has to find a way to sneak in a few times and slowly figure out the structure of Kowloon Walled City. When the time comes to arrest people, we will go in. As long as we are familiar enough, we can do it with ease. I will arrange staggered times so that everyone can have a chance to sneak in."
Lin Meiqi and He Wanyi nodded.
In the afternoon, Lin Meiqi came out of the forensic room and was about to get some water when she suddenly saw a young man with a cross-body bag rushing in at the door. He had a handsome face and seemed to be looking for someone.
Liang Yifeng was discussing something with someone, writing and drawing on the whiteboard. When he saw a stranger coming in, he subconsciously asked, "Reporting a crime, right? Let's go to the police station downstairs."
"I'm not here to report a crime. I'm here to see Forensic Doctor Lin."
Everyone was stunned and looked at Lin Meiqi who was fetching water.
Lin Meiqi stirred the coffee with a spoon and looked at the man in surprise: "Are you looking for me? But I don't know you."
"Ah, that's right. I'm from Lido Publishing House. I'm here to ask you to write a book on forensic medicine. Aren't you a teacher at the Police Academy? You have strong professional skills and teaching experience in this area, so it's perfect for you to write a book on forensic medicine. It's more professional, and hopefully it can be used as a supplementary book in teaching in the future."
Lin Meiqi nodded when she heard it: "Okay, then come in with me."
The man followed Lin Meiqi into her forensic room and saw some human specimens in the room.
The young man was a little frightened at first and didn't know where to look.
Lin Meiqi said, "You are so scared, but you still want to write a book on forensic medicine. Isn't it a bit difficult for you? Is this a task assigned by your leader?"
The handsome man introduced himself and said, "Oh, that's what I thought. The reason why I came to you is, of course, because I am also very interested in forensics. But interest is not the same as expertise. I have also tried to read some professional textbooks at home, and I can handle it. It's just that seeing these things on the spot makes me a little... Let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Mihou. We will cooperate frequently in the future to publish this book."
Lin Meiqi smiled: "I just said that. After all, some of our police officers outside have been working for more than ten years, and they still can't see the dissected bodies. This is normal."
Liu Mihou pushed his glasses and said, "Yes, that's right. As long as Forensic Doctor Lin understands."
"Then let's talk about our next arrangements, shall we?"
Lin Meiqi did not resist this, and Liu Mihou was relieved: "Okay."
The reason why Lin Meiqi cooperated with Liu Mihou was that she had heard of him a long time ago. Although he had never written a book on forensic medicine before, Lin Meiqi's experience of reading countless books told him that Liu Mihou was a person with a very keen eye for the market.
The computer books he once led authors to compile were the most advanced and professional on the market.
After all, many of the books that Lin Meiqi bought for Xie Zhiruo from the bookstore were edited by Liu Mihou.
She had an impression of this person and knew that he had advanced ideas and would not be constrained by traditional things. It should be easy to work with him.
And she has indeed accumulated a lot of information during the period of time she has been teaching. Sometimes, due to various reasons, it is not possible to fully teach the content in class, so it is okay to compile it into a book.
Anyway, the stuff is ready-made and comes from her teaching plan, so it shouldn't be a problem to make a preliminary compilation.
So now she has an additional task besides work, which at least makes her schedule more and more full.
Fortunately, the mastermind behind the Kowloon Walled City was finally caught this time, and these crimes will not be able to continue to exist in the future. It's a good thing that there are fewer serious murders in her jurisdiction, so she can feel a little more relaxed.
She found that in the West Kowloon Task Force, nearly half of these cases were related to Kowloon Walled City. They were indeed a major source of crime and should be viewed with caution.
After seeing Liu Mihou off, Lin Meiqi went upstairs and saw He Wanyi excitedly holding her hand: "Forensic Doctor Lin, you are going to publish a book! I am looking forward to reading your book!"
"It's still early. We still have to establish the project, and I still have to edit it. It's actually quite troublesome. It will take at least three to six months to publish, and it will be next year before I get it to you."
"What's the big deal? I can wait! I must support your first book."
Lin Meiqi smiled but didn’t say anything too definite. What if this book couldn’t be published due to various reasons? She could only smile and say, "Well, I'm also looking forward to the process going smoothly."
When they arrived at the dinner place in the evening, Feng Charlie took everyone to walk to a shop two streets away. The stir-fried beef noodles there were famous.
They would occasionally come to this place before, but most of the time due to time constraints and heavy workloads, they couldn't run more than two blocks away, so they just found a random restaurant downstairs to eat.
As soon as we sat down, a police officer raised a question: "This Kowloon Walled City has been a lawless area for so many years. How can it be robbed just like that? Is this information reliable?"
Feng Charlie nodded, "It's reliable. In fact, we have obtained the power of law enforcement, which means that Kowloon Walled City is no longer a no-man's land. Before, it was because of the constraints of various forces that left a gap in that place. Now, the times are different, and this problem must be solved. First, transfer the law enforcement power to us, and then we will crack down on it thoroughly! In fact, this place is a large den, and it is not unknown how many crimes are rampant. The reason why it is not moved is because there are too many people involved and the forces are too strong. I think this time we are going to completely eliminate it. If we make up our minds, it will be easier. After leaving this evil area, after they go out, the supervision is transparent everywhere, and it will be difficult to break the law."
“This is really good news!”
"Yes, I can't wait to see the moment when the Kowloon Walled City is demolished. But there are still a few months before the demolition, and I'm afraid the amount of crime will increase exponentially."
"It's the final madness. I understand this. Tomorrow I will volunteer to disguise myself and be one of the first people to sneak into Kowloon Walled City to investigate the situation."
"You must be careful about everything. When you are hiding in there, the most important thing is to hide your identity. Don't force yourself to step out when something happens. Otherwise, exposing your identity will be detrimental to the overall plan."
"Yes! Sir."
Lin Meiqi listened to their words and just focused on eating the rice noodles. It was steaming hot, oily, moist and fragrant. She couldn't stop eating it.
After finishing half a plate, I ordered another portion of red bean cake. After eating and drinking, everyone chatted about the latest gossip in the entertainment industry to relax.
Speaking of Ming Yi, He Wan Yi was curious: "I wonder how his further studies are going? When can he come back? I have watched all his dramas, it would be too boring if there is no more drama to watch. Sergeant, let him come back and film some idol dramas!"
"Suspense dramas also need her. Last time he was in uniform and holding a gun, he was so handsome! Even my little sister was imitating him with a toy and was fascinated by him."
"You know what, when he puts on the uniform he really looks like Charlie Feng, they are indeed brothers."
Feng Charlie said: "I haven't contacted him for a while. I guess he is busy with further studies and has no time to talk to me."
"Hey, Sergeant, just ask. We are really interested. When will he come back? And it's a great thing for him to come back and restart his career. Shouldn't you treat us to a meal?"
"Shouldn't we welcome him back? Why do you want him to treat us?"
"Of course, big stars have money, so they can treat us to the best food. If we treat him, we can only eat at street stalls."
"It's so bad to ask Mingyi to eat at a roadside stall!"
"He won't dislike you."
"Sir, don't be so direct. I just want him to treat us to a buffet at Zui'erlou."
"You have a big appetite. Don't you know that buffet is very expensive?"
These people were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good.
Lin Meiqi couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips.
Mingyi, indeed, she hadn't seen him for a long time. She had been busy with cases during this period, and it seemed like she hadn't seen Mingyi for a long time.
Feng Charlie packed another box of red bean cakes for Lin Meiqi, and the waiter put it in front of Lin Meiqi: "You like it, you can continue to eat it when you go back."
The police officers nearby started to make a noise: "Wow, Sir, I ate a lot of butter puffs just now, why didn't you pack some for me too?"
"Yeah, I used to like eating walnut cookies, but you never bought them for me."
As everyone was talking, they were actually preparing to leave the shop.
It was getting late, and Lin Meiqi was about to ride her bike home when she saw a car parked in front of her.
"I'll take you back." said Feng Charlie.
Lin Meiqi shook her head: "No need."
Feng Charlie said, "I rented a room nearby, and I happened to be going back there too, so it's on the same way as you."
Lin Meiqi opened her mouth wide: "Don't you live near the serious crime unit, so it's convenient for you to go to work? Why do you live so far away?"
Feng Charlie smiled and helped Lin Meiqi open the car door. After Lin Meiqi got in and closed the door, Feng Charlie said, "We are going to investigate Kowloon Walled City. This rented house is temporary. I also rented one for other police officers. After they go in to investigate, if they come back late, they can sleep nearby. Also, although the person who sent you the lilies has been found, it does not mean that you are completely out of danger. Kowloon Walled City has been so crazy recently, and there are hidden dangers for people nearby. As the chief of police, I cannot put my people in such danger."
The vehicle drove out.
Along the way, the red bean pastry that Lin Meiqi packed in her hand exuded a sweet smell. She was so greedy that she wanted to eat another piece, but she was afraid of dirtying the car, so she had to hold back.
After arriving at Ningyuan No. 1, Charlie Feng got out of the car and actually walked into the same building with her.
"Shar, you don't live here too, do you?"
"Yeah, didn't the lady next to you move out? That place has been empty, no one lives there, and this building just so happens to be available for rent, so this is the only place left."
"Ah, it's right next door!"
Lin Meiqi suddenly panicked. It felt really bad to be watched by her boss all the time.
Feng Charlie said, "Don't be stressed. We are here for your safety. We really can't let you take the same risk as last time. It's best not to go into Kowloon Walled City alone. After disguising yourself, at least two people should go together."
"No need," Lin Meiqi said, "Sergeant, I'm quite familiar with this area."
"Last time you faced Ran Tian, but things are different in Kowloon Walled City. I don't want anything to happen to you, do you understand?"
When she said this, Lin Meiqi blinked her eyes. She could tell something was wrong in the light.
It didn't seem like the concern between a boss and his subordinate, but more like a feeling she couldn't describe, as if he was really worried about her.
"Okay, I won't run around alone."
"If you have any questions, come find me next door. My other colleagues are in the building next door. You can also go find them if you need anything."
Lin Meiqi nodded, closed the door, returned to the room, and first opened the red bean pastries and ate them.
The TV plays the TV series in which Ming Yi has starred countless times, but to this day, the ratings are still the highest among all modern idol dramas in Hong Kong. That face appeals to both men and women, young and old, and who wouldn't praise him for being so handsome?
However, Lin Meiqi, who could recite the plot backwards, was biting into the red bean pastry and her thoughts somehow drifted to Feng Charlie.
Lin Meiqi shook her head and patted her head. Oh my God, what was she thinking about?
After finishing the last bite of the red bean pastry, I watched TV for a while and quickly went to bed.
The next day, Ho Wan-yee and Leung Yik-fung entered the Kowloon Walled City in disguise.
In fact, there are strangers coming and going in Kowloon Walled City, but most of them come to do business.
In addition, the people inside are very familiar with each other, so every time a stranger comes, they are quite vigilant and cautious, and when necessary, the people inside will work together.
They have all kinds of stuff, and some of them even have hidden guns, so it's difficult to deal with them. We can't let our identities be discovered, otherwise it will be bad.
The two people can only pretend that one is going to the dentist, and the other is going to find someone to blend in.
It is usually very expensive to see a dentist outside. Sometimes replacing a tooth costs tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. In order to save money, dental clinics like those in Kowloon Walled City have become places frequented by many poor people.
Although the sanitary conditions are poor and the clinic is quite small, the low price alone is attractive enough.
It was not easy to arouse suspicion with this identity. The two of them wandered around Kowloon Walled City and almost got lost. They managed to memorize a few routes, but forgot them as soon as they turned around.
The routes inside are quite messy, and some paths are winding and not as easy to walk on as straight roads.
Moreover, the environment in many alleys is similar, with garbage and debris piled everywhere, clothes hanging to dry, and scattered electric wires, making it easy to get confused. After walking around, I only found out the location of a corner of Kowloon Walled City. If I went any further in, I would be worried that I would not be able to get out.
The key point is that the nearby residents think she looks ferocious, and He Wanyi can't help but worry. If she really meets someone who doesn't care about his life, she will be in trouble.
Therefore, she did not dare to go deeper and left quickly. After coming back, she drew the picture based on her memory. When she finished drawing it, she handed the picture to Feng Charlie.
Feng Charlie asked her, "You stayed in there, did you notice anything unusual?"
He Wanyi thought for a moment and said, "I went in once before when I was on a mission to arrest someone. This time, I felt that the atmosphere was obviously more depressing, and everyone seemed to be more hostile. I said I was going to find someone, but few people spoke to me in a friendly tone. They just wanted to get rid of me. I didn't notice anything else."
Feng Charlie nodded: "The environment inside is quite complicated. You haven't found the core yet. You still have to send people in to explore. At least you have to come up with an updated map."
