Learning to think ahead, thinking a few steps ahead than others, repeatedly pondering and analyzing, and making careful decisions are the most basic skills for being a good leader.
When Jiayi sat in Yue Ge's jeep, she was still thinking about what she could do to be a good sergeant. As
the old saying goes, only when you become a mother do you know how difficult it is to raise a child. Jiayi is about to become a sergeant now, and only then do she know how difficult it is for Yue Ge.
He has been a sergeant for so long, and he can manage Group B so well. Everyone is motivated and hardworking, and the team has such a strong cohesive force. It is really not easy for him.
When they arrived at the big bend of Sze Hoon Road, Fang Zhenyue stopped the car and looked out to say hello to the uniformed police who were doing the blockade, Uncle Jiu, and Jiaming. Jiayi also nodded to Ah Wei, who was sent from the Forensic Division of the Central Police Station to conduct a re-investigation.
Fang Zhenyue then released the brakes, turned upwards, and headed straight for the first villa area on the uphill road.
The most valuable land identified by Hong Kong's earliest wealthy people was Happy Valley and The Peak, south of Victoria Bay.
So although areas like mid-hillsides are obviously not as good as flat land for building buildings, businessmen still overcome difficulties and build high-rise buildings in the middle of the mountain, close to the mountain and facing the water, which is a very auspicious and good feng shui location.
The scenery at the top of the mountain is of course better, but it is also more difficult to find a suitable area for building houses. Therefore, although the businessmen tried very hard, these villas were still not built in a regular manner, and they could not be too dense.
When Jiayi followed Fang Zhenyue on the visit, she had a more systematic understanding of the luxury houses in Mid-Levels and The Peak.
The mountaintop in the 1990s was not as well built as it is now. There were many potholes on the road that could not be repaired in time. The old villas were built on the mountaintop, and the cost of repair and maintenance was high. It turned out that it was not as beautiful and luxurious as imagined.
Many villas fully demonstrated what "barely built" means. Wow, they are obviously called super expensive villas, but they only occupy an area of about 200 square meters. Some areas have to squeeze in a small garden, which is not easy.
Probably because it was a weekday morning, some villas were empty, and some villas were only filled with Filipino maids who could not speak Cantonese and English very well. It was impossible to take notes on this, so I could only register the house number and come back in the evening.
Occasionally, if the wife is at home, or if the whole family is at home, they will be invited into the house to make a more complete record of the questioning.
Fang Zhenyue and Jiayi went to more than a dozen houses. They drank many cups of black tea made by the Filipino maid, but they did not collect any useful clues.
Walking out of the last house in Yilan Villa Community, Jiayi asked Fang Zhenyue as she walked:
"Brother Yue, did you hear the sound of gurgling?"
"What?" Fang Zhenyue asked.
"It's the sound of the tea in my stomach. When I walk, it gurgles, gurgles~" Jiayi said and swayed.
"Haha, I will have to use the bathroom later."
"It's so troublesome. The next house will bring me tea, and I will just take a sip." Jiayi pretended to drink tea.
"There are many more houses, take your time." Fang Zhenyue led Jiayi out of Yichang Villa Community.
"Understood, sir." Jiayi nodded and tried to boost her morale.
Along the way, she felt like a police officer checking household registration.
The rubber king lived in villa No. XX in Yichang, villa No. XX was bought by Liu Jufu for his new girlfriend, and villa No. XX was the secret love nest of celebrity couples... She had already found out everything.
If she changed her career to become a paparazzi now, she felt that she could definitely do it. At least when lurking outside other people's houses to gossip, she would not squat in the wrong place.
Back on Shixun Road, preparing to take the big jeep around the mountain road to visit the Shixun Road Villa Community, I suddenly saw a car parked next to the jeep, and a lot of people standing next to it.
Uncle Jiu, Liu Jiaming, a uniformed policeman, huh? There was even Madam Qiu Susan.
"Madam!" Fang Zhenyue walked closer and nodded.
"Madam!" Jiayi saluted.
Qiu Susan nodded, "I have something to ask you, so I came here and I came to see you."
She then pointed to the uniformed police officer standing behind her and introduced him to Fang Zhenyue:
"This is the uniformed police officer from the Central Police Station, Xu Shaowei. He just assisted the colleagues from the Forensic Department of the Central Police Station with Uncle Jiu and Jiaming to do the investigation. Now that the investigation is over, I will call him over to accompany you to do the interview."
"Sir Fang." Xu Shaowei was called and immediately stepped forward and saluted Fang Zhenyue respectfully.
Fang Zhenyue looked at him with a raised eyebrow. The young man was about 1.78 meters tall, which was considered medium to tall in Hong Kong at that time. His short side-parted hair was pressed down by his hat, his forehead was long, his face was medium-sized, his nose was short, his eyebrows were short and his eyes were round. He was handsome.
His beard was clean-shaven, and the sideburns and hair ends under the hat were neat. It was obvious that he was a clean-keeping young man.
Before Xu Shaowei saluted and put his hand away, Fang Zhenyue simply scanned his palm.
His finger joints were thick, his palms were large and long and flat, and there were thick cords at the base of his fingers. He must have been doing fitness and his arm strength was probably considerable.
Looking down, Xu Shaowei had a pair of big feet, which were slightly turned outward when he stood, and his lower body was very stable.
Turning back to look at him, although his posture and expression were respectful, his eyes were cold and sharp. I'm afraid he was not a good person to talk to.
Fang Zhenyue nodded and turned to look at Qiu Susan. Seeing the other party nod, he seemed to get some signal. After thinking for a few seconds, he gave the order:
"Detective Yi Jiayi, you take Xu Shaowei to visit villas 1 to 6 on Shi Xun Road. Uncle Jiu, you take Jiaming to visit villas 7 to 12. I will talk to Madam here for a while. After you finish visiting the villas on Shi Xun Road, meet at the roadside outside the villa community. I will drive the jeep over there as a meeting point."
"Yes, sir." The four responded in unison.
Jiayi and the others split up into teams. Jiushu and Liu Jiaming climbed the hill and took a detour to head straight to No. 7 Villa on Shi Xun Road. When they parted ways with Jiayi and Xu Shaowei's team, Jiushu looked back at Xu Shaowei. When the two looked at each other, Jiushu frowned, with a hint of intimidation.
Xu Shaowei was stunned for a moment before nodding to Jiushu to show his goodwill.
Jiushu then turned his eyes away and turned with Liu Jiaming.
After Jiayi and Xu Shaowei were no longer visible, Liu Jiaming asked:
"Madam, why did you ask a uniformed police officer to visit with us? If the workload is particularly heavy, shouldn't you call a few more uniformed police officers? There is only one, not more or less. Is there any special meaning?"
"Eleventh is promoted. Will there be one less person in the team? When I retire, will there be another one less person? Madam will have to fill the two vacancies of Team B slowly. Now we have selected one and bring him to Brother Yue. You should remember everything that happened around you." Uncle Jiu patted Liu Jiaming on the shoulder and instructed:
"Go knock on the door."
"Oh." After Liu Jiaming pressed the doorbell outside the villa, he turned around and asked, "Brother Yue assigned Xu Shaowei to Group 11. Was it so that 11 could take the opportunity to establish his authority?"
Uncle Jiu nodded, "You are not a stone. You are smart and you understand everything. But I don't know whether it will establish your authority or not, but the meaning of leading the newcomers in your own group is very strong. When 11 is promoted to sergeant, he will have to lead all of us. If Xu Shaowei wants to join Group B, of course he has to pay homage to 11. I just don't know if this kid is sensible and knows that 11 may very well be the next sergeant of Group B. Don't let him look down on 11 because he is young and ignorant."
"..." Liu Jiaming looked into the villa while thinking about Uncle Jiu's words. After a while, he said:
"I believe in Eleven. She is very friendly when we are together in daily life, but once she starts working, she becomes a workaholic. When she is busy and thinking about something, she is very stubborn and knows how to argue. When I see Eleven like this, I want to call her Sister Eleven. Xu Shaowei has been a uniformed police officer for a long time, so he will definitely be intimidated. Maybe when we gather again after the visit, Xu Shaowei will change his words and call Eleven 'Madam Yi'."
"I hope Xu Shaowei is a smart person." Uncle Jiu nodded. At this time, there was movement in the yard. Fei's
maid came to open the door. After communicating, she confirmed that Uncle Jiu and Liu Jiaming were detectives. She said that his wife was at home, and invited the two into the living room to wait.
After the maid came upstairs, Uncle Jiu stood up from the sofa and walked slowly in the living room to observe and absorb all the information he could get.
When he turned his head and looked at the yard outside the window, he thought of Yi Jiayi again.
Eight words emerged in his mind unconsciously. The sudden inspiration seemed to be able to describe Yi Jiayi very clearly:
[Delicate but not soft, strong but not domineering.]
Immediately, Uncle Jiu pursed his lips and smiled. He was originally a little worried that Xu Shaowei would not know the limits and would bully Shiyi. Now, like Liu Jiaming, he confidently put aside his worries and could concentrate on his own visiting work.
