The two got into the car and returned to the police station.
Shen Dong, who had followed them all along, stayed behind.
Tian Yangsheng asked, "Brother Dong, why are we keeping an eye on this audio equipment store?"
Shen Dong briefly recounted Chen Guozhong's framing of Wang Bao, saying, "I suspect that the boss left a copy."
Tian Yangsheng said, "Then shall we go look for it?"
Shen Dong rolled his eyes and said, "Can you find that copy among thousands of discs?"
Tian Yangsheng patted his forehead and said, "It really is hard to find."
Li Jie said, "We can arrest that boss and question him."
Shen Dong said, "That's what I think too. No rush, let's wait."
An hour later, a bruised and battered shop owner opened the door of the music store carrying takeout.
Shen Dong and the other two immediately got out of the car.
"Do you...want to buy...discs?"
The boss, who was about to eat, stood up and asked.
He really is a mentally challenged child.
Shen Dong said, "Do you know you've caused a huge disaster?"
The boss was taken aback and asked, "What terrible disaster?"
Shen Dong asked, "Did you hand over a murder video to the police?"
The boss nodded and said, "Yes."
Shen Dong said, "The person inside is Wang Bao, the leader of Zhongyixin, who has 10,000 to 20,000 men under his command. He has been arrested by the police because of the video you filmed, and it won't be long before Zhongyixin's men come to arrest you."
This boss may have a low IQ, but that doesn't mean he's an idiot.
He was aware of Chung Nghi Shin, the biggest local tyrant in Saigon.
"What should we do then?" the boss asked in a panic.
Shen Dong placed a bag in front of the shopkeeper and said, "There's HK$300,000 in here. I'll buy your copy. Take the money and leave Hong Kong Island immediately. Come back after this matter is settled."
The shop owner, who had never seen so much money before, asked tremblingly, "Are you really going to give me all this money?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Of course. I'm not a person who goes back on his word."
The shopkeeper picked up the money, put it in his black briefcase, then took a disc from the shelf and handed it to Shen Dong, saying, "This is a copy."
Shen Dong checked the copy with the machine and, after confirming there were no problems, asked, "Do you have any other copies?"
The simple-minded boss shook his head and said, "No more."
Shen Dong said in a deep voice, "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise, neither I, the police, nor Wang Bao will let you off the hook. Let's go, I'll take you to the airport."
The simple-minded boss said, "I want to go to the bank."
Shen Dong chuckled and said, "Looks like you're not stupid after all."
An hour later, the silly boss happily boarded a flight to the inland.
Just to be on the safe side, Shen Dong arranged for two of his men to keep an eye on him.
They will return after Wang Bao's matter is resolved.
Tian Yangsheng said, "Brother Dong, aren't you being too nice to this idiot? If it were anyone else, they wouldn't care about his life or death after getting the stuff."
Shen Dong patted Tian Yangsheng on the shoulder and said, "Asheng, remember, a true man has principles. We may be involved in the underworld, but we must always stick to our bottom line. We can do whatever we want to scoundrels, but we must follow the rules with ordinary people, understand?"
A hint of respect flashed in Tian Yangsheng's eyes as he said, "Understood."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "The matter is settled, let's go."
Li Jie was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "Aren't you going to find Wang Bao?"
Shen Dong raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Haste makes waste. Wang Bao is the one who should be anxious, and if anyone should be looking for someone, it should be Wang Bao looking for me."
That evening at nine o'clock, Wang Bao's Toastmasters horseradish came to find the silly boss.
Upon learning that the foolish boss had disappeared, he was so angry that he smashed the video store to pieces.
Saigon Police Station
"That idiot's video store was smashed? So, Wang Bao knows the copies came from him?" Chen Guozhong's face was extremely gloomy.
Within just a few hours, news of the fool reached Wang Bao's ears, and Chen Guozhong was almost 100% certain that Wang Bao had people in charge.
Hua Ge said, "No wonder we couldn't find any evidence against Wang Bao. It turns out someone was secretly passing messages to Wang Bao."
Ma Jun asked, "Who are the people who know about the idiot?"
Chen Guozhong immediately pictured a person in his mind and said, "I will report the suspect to the Internal Affairs Department. Inspector Ma, you must not get involved in this matter."
Ma Jun knew that Chen Guozhong was doing this for his own good, so he nodded and said, "Thank you."
Hua asked, "What do we do now?"
Chen Guozhong pondered for a moment and said, "Since even Wang Bao can't be found, it means that the fool should have left Hong Kong Island. Let me check and see if there is any record of him leaving Hong Kong."
Having worked as a police officer for decades, Chen Guozhong has an extremely extensive network of connections.
In just over ten minutes, he learned from Superintendent Zhong of the Customs Service that the fool had gone inland.
Hua Ge cursed, "Damn, is this kid really stupid or just pretending?"
Chen Guozhong recalled the unfamiliar phone call, slammed his hand on the table, and said, "We've been tricked."
Hua asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Guozhong said, "That strange phone call today is very suspicious. I suspect that the caller only knows that a video store owner gave us the video, but doesn't know the location of the video store."
Hua Ge suddenly realized and said, "This person is using us."
Ma Jun frowned and said, "So what if he finds that boss? The evidence is irrefutable. Can Wang Bao recant his testimony... Wait, something's wrong with that video, isn't it?"
Seeing how cautious Chen Guozhong and Hua Ge were, exceeding the level of concern the police showed for witnesses, Ma Jun immediately realized that something fishy must be going on.
Chen Guozhong pointed at Ma Jun and said coldly, "You're just an unofficial staff member right now, you haven't officially taken over from me yet, so you'd better watch your words. Also, you can go back now, this case has nothing to do with you."
Knowing he was terminally ill with cancer, Chen Guozhong did not want Ma Jun to be involved in the incident that framed Wang Bao.
By this time, Ma Jun had already guessed the whole story behind the video and said, "Inspector Chen, you are knowingly breaking the law."
Chen Guozhong said firmly, "I'd give up my life if it meant bringing that bastard Wang Bao to justice."
Ma Jun said, "I will find Inspector Du. I can't let you make the same mistake again."
Chen Guozhong's expression changed, and he said, "The only people who know about that stupid boss are us and Inspector Du."
Ma Jun was shocked, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
Du Sir is their superior; if even he's Wang Bao's man, then...
Ma Jun didn't dare to think any further.
Chen Guozhong said, "Too many brothers have died at Wang Bao's hands. Before I die, Wang Bao must go to jail. Inspector Ma, I hope you can stay out of this."
Looking at Chen Guozhong's pale face, Ma Jun was speechless.
