When Sanfu and Gary were halfway through their investigation, they suddenly received a message from Uncle Jiu. They ran to make a phone call, and Sanfu and Gary learned about the list of lovers and ambiguous objects of the victim Zhao Dongsheng that Uncle Jiu and Liu Jiming had found.
Among them, Gu Xiaolan's name was found - one of the buyers of 14 suits.
In this way, they don't have to check the buyers of brand-name suits one by one, and can go directly to Gu Xiaolan.
But even if she is a new star, it is not easy to contact such a celebrity. Sanfu and Gary spent a long time to determine Gu Xiaolan's itinerary, and then went all the way to Ocean Park in the southern district of Hong Kong Island, and finally met her during Gu Xiaolan's break in the filming.
Although Gu Xiaolan claimed in every interview that she was just friends with director Zhang Jing and tycoon Zhao Dongsheng, she still admitted her relationship with tycoon Zhao Dongsheng in person when taking notes.
"I have never met Zhao Dongsheng's wife. He said that his wife was in poor health and had a cold relationship with him. Although they were husband and wife, they actually lived their own lives and their marriage had long been dead in name only.
"But I don't really care. Anyway, I don't want to marry him. "
Gu Xiaolan leaned back in the comfortable soft chair, glanced at Sanfu, and sneered:
"He bought a big house for me in Happy Valley..."
There was no need to say more at this point. The relationship between them was probably like this, one side was seeking money, the other side was greedy for fresh food.
"Yes, I bought this suit for him. He spent so much money on me, so I should give him some gifts in return. "Gu Xiaolan looked at the suit with a bloody hole in the photo, frowned slightly, and quickly turned her eyes away, as if she didn't want to look at its current miserable state.
Sanfu took back the photo and looked up at Gu Xiaolan. She was indeed a young and beautiful girl. No wonder the rich and powerful people were vying for her.
But when she sat there without talking, she was like an exquisite sculpture without a soul, which was ultimately less vivid.
"Excuse me, where were you between 5pm and 9pm on the evening of the 22nd?" Sanfu asked as usual.
"We were filming in Tseung Kwan O, and the entire crew can testify to that." Gu Xiaolan retracted her gaze.
"When was the last time you saw Zhao Dongsheng?" "
On the night of the 21st, we had dinner together and he spent the night at my place. "Gu Xiaolan was quite frank. She had no intention of hiding the slightest thing about herself and Zhao Dongsheng.
"How is your love life? Is it going well?"
"What's going well or not about us? If he asks me out, I will gladly accept the invitation. If he doesn't ask me out, I will just mind my own business. It's that simple, sir, don't think so complicated. There is no grudge or love-hate relationship between Mr. Zhao and me. If he gets into trouble, you'd better start with his wife and don't waste time on me." Gu Xiaolan took a sip of juice and sighed, "If I were his wife, and he was so fickle all day long, I might hate him too. "
Sanfu did not respond to Gu Xiaolan's words. He asked more than a dozen questions and got Gu Xiaolan's upcoming schedule before saying goodbye to Gu Xiaolan.
When he returned to the police station, he ran into detectives from other teams. When they heard that Sanfu and Gary had gone to meet a popular female star, they immediately howled with envy:
"How come you can go and see pretty girls, but we have to go out and search for bodies. "
Turning back to the B team office, Sanfu and the other person saw that Uncle Jiu and Liu Jiaming were already there, so they went over to chat while waiting for Jiayi to come back for the meeting.
As they chatted, they unknowingly moved from the current confusing case to the personnel transfers that would take place in Group B. Sanfu thought of the uniformed policeman that Qiu Susan had taken a fancy to, and could not help but ask:
"Hey, have you seen the young man assigned to Eleven?"
"Yes, he is tall and handsome. Our Group B detectives are all suave, handsome and handsome. Xu Shaowei is not a drag at all." Liu Jiaming laughed.
"He has a traitorous face, but you didn't scold him, warn him, and teach him a lesson? "Sanfu leaned on the table and asked with raised eyebrows.
"Why do we need to warn and teach? He has just followed Eleven on a mission, and it is the time to build trust with each other. Eleven must know her own limits. Whether to intimidate or to win people over with virtue is up to her to decide. If we casually mix in, not only may we disrupt Eleven's rhythm, but we may also accidentally offend Xu Shaowei for Eleven, making that guy resentful. What if he deliberately holds Eleven back? Wouldn't that be counterproductive?" Uncle Jiu said patiently in a very mature and steady manner. After all, it is the old comrade who thinks things through.
"..." Sanfu was slightly embarrassed. Ah, is that so?
"You won't take the initiative to go and make a show of force, will you?" Uncle Jiu raised his eyebrows.
"No~no! How could that be. Uncle Jiu, do you think I am such a person who doesn't know the seriousness of the matter? "Sanfu laughed and changed the subject: "Hey, how is your investigation going? Is it going smoothly? "
After everyone started sharing their own experiences in investigating the case, Sanfu turned around and pretended to drink water to dispel the embarrassment.
After putting down the teacup, he touched his nose and began to think about life: Could it be that I really made things difficult for Eleven? What should I do then... Shit!
A few minutes later, Jiayi finally returned to the police station, followed by the traitor Xu Shaowei.
Sanfu glanced at the two of them and found no signs of discord. When Xu Shaowei walked into the office of Team B, showing a reserved and embarrassed state, Sanfu took a deep breath and finally decided to be a goodwill ambassador for Eleven.
He waved to Xu Shaowei, pointed to the coffee, milk tea and afternoon tea snacks on the office table, and tried to smile as casually as possible: "See if there is anything you want to drink or eat. Don't be polite. They are all sent from Yi Ji, which is opened by Eleven's family. They taste very good. "
Xu Shaowei and Sanfu stared at each other for a while before forcing a smile, "Thank you."
He walked over and picked up a cup of coffee, sitting quietly beside and drinking it, just looking around without saying a word. His whole body was full of vigilance and distance.
Uncle Jiu raised his eyebrows at Jiayi, and Jiayi also raised her eyebrows in return. The two seemed to have made some secret signals, and then smiled tacitly.
Uncle Jiu could tell from her expression that Xiaoyi and Xu Shaowei should get along well, and there was no problem that Xiaoyi could not control. He patted Jiayi's shoulder and held his The little wooden stick sat on the other side of the chair.
It is so hard to quit smoking. You can't keep your mouth idle and don't like to gossip, so you have to chew on a wooden stick. It looks like a rabbit, but at least it is useful. It makes you not want to smoke.
Fang Zhenyue came back the latest. He was in a gloomy mood and it seemed that there was no problem with the internal assessment.
Everyone knew that Brother Yue had something to do today, so they secretly looked at his expression, but he was old Shazhan, who could hold back his emotions. He looked solemn and serious, and nothing else was seen.
Fang Zhenyue glanced at Xu Shaowei, and introduced him to everyone by name. He only said that Xu Shaowei would be temporarily transferred to cooperate in this case, and walked around the venue to praise Xu Shaowei's previous heroic performance. He
cooperated with O Ji to catch criminals and jumped into the sea to arrest people. He was very skilled and accurate in shooting. He was a rare and brave police officer.
Everyone greeted him and introduced themselves, which was considered a formal acquaintance.
Then they shared the news. Sanfu and Gary introduced the relationship between Gu Xiaolan and Zhao Dongsheng.
Jiu Shu and Liu Jiaming listed and introduced all the ambiguous women related to Zhao Dongsheng. Of course, Gu Xiaolan was one of them, but Gu Xiaolan was not the only one who received valuable gifts (such as houses) from Zhao Dongsheng.
Zhao Dongsheng is in the real estate business after all, so if he lets something slip from his fingers, it will probably be a house of varying sizes.
"If I had known earlier, I would have been a pretty girl and dated Zhao Dongsheng. That would have been much more useful than being a detective for a few years. I don't know how long it will take to buy a house like the one Zhao Dongsheng gave to Gu Xiaolan." Gary leaned back in his chair, raised his feet and placed them on Liu Jiaming's chair, sighing helplessly.
"Let's buy the Mark Six lottery, or bet on horses." Uncle Jiu suggested while chewing on a wooden stick.
"I haven't even won a bottle of milk in my life. I'm not destined to have that." Liu Jiaming shook his head and sighed. Today, everyone complained more than Uncle Jiu.
Fang Zhenyue knocked on the whiteboard, and Jiayi began to report their findings. After she finished speaking, she said:
"Brother Yue, I think there is definitely something wrong with Zhou Xinhui. I want to start staking out Zhou Xinhui tonight to monitor whether he has any suspicious social activities."
"Do you suspect that he hired a killer to commit murder?" Fang Zhenyue raised his eyebrows.
"When Zhao Dongsheng got into trouble, Zhou Xinhui had a perfect time to witness it. But a man as rich and powerful as him would not kill someone himself. And he had experience in gangs when he was young, so it is not surprising that he has relevant connections in this area, so I do have this suspicion." Jiayi nodded. Every time she said the first sentence, Brother Yue could guess the next sentence. He is really a smart leader.
"Okay. Who is the person closest to Zhou Xinhui?" Fang Zhenyue did not give an order immediately, but asked a related question.
"His assistant Datou." Jiayi answered immediately. After questioning Zhou Xinhui, he and Xu Shaowei interrogated Boss Zhou's assistant Datou Ge and others. It can be basically confirmed that the person who knows Zhou Xinhui best is Datou Ge, and the entertainment venue that serves as a time witness for Datou Ge was also arranged by Datou Ge.
"Then let's monitor Datou together." Fang Zhenyue said, and turned to Sanfu: "Let's monitor Gu Xiaolan together."
"Yes, sir." The reason why Sanfu took Gu Xiaolan's itinerary was also for this reason.
"Sanfu and Gary will form a team, Shiyi and Xu Shaowei will form a team, Jiushu and Jiaming will form a team, and I will transfer another uniformed police officer to form another team. Sanfu's team and Jiushu's team will take turns to stake out Gu Xiaolan, and Shiyi's team and my team will take turns to stake out Datou." Fang Zhenyue finished speaking and pointed to the other side of the office, "I will ask Madam to lead a uniformed police officer to form a team, and borrow an agent from Team A and a uniformed police officer to take turns to stake out Zhou Xinhui."
Rubbing the pen in his hand, he pointed at Sanfu and said, "Sanfu, you will be the team leader of Gu Xiaolan's team, and Madam will be the team leader of Zhou Xinhui. As for us who are staked out Datou..."
He glanced at Jiayi and Xu Shaowei, and said to everyone's surprise, "Shiyi will be the team leader."
"Brother Yue?" Jiayi stood up and rubbed her fingers awkwardly. Shouldn't Brother Yue be the team leader to coordinate everyone's shifts and keep an eye on key points?
"Don't think about being lazy, so that the old guys don't have to worry." Fang Zhenyue nodded at Jiayi and clapped his hands, saying, "Start making arrangements and get started tonight. Solve the case as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir." Jiayi responded respectfully.
Xu Shaowei sat in the corner, his eyes unconsciously patrolling between Fang Zhenyue and Yi Jiayi. It seemed that Officer Yi was respected far more than he had imagined.
Is there really a place in this world that completely depends on ability, does not care about gender, and does not look down on young people?
Next, everyone divided into groups to implement the plan. Xu Shaowei went home to change into casual clothes. They guarded the first half of the night, and Fang Zhenyue brought the uniformed police he transferred to guard the second half of the night.
Pretending to be a couple who look like each other but are actually different, Jiayi and Xu Shaowei wandered around the streets, keeping an eye on Datou. Jiayi was very thankful that the temperature in Hong Kong had warmed up in the past few days, and it was not very cold at night. There were even enthusiastic men in vests drinking and walking around the streets.
In order to not appear to be "disconnected", she and Xu Shaowei had to force themselves to chat together. They were so bored that they tested each other's English sentences and words.
It was like a study group when they were in school.
"What could they be stuck in? Zhao Dongsheng's body should have been abandoned long ago, right?" Xu Shaowei recited some words for a while, and suddenly asked with some doubt.
"First, if they really hired a killer, the killer will come to ask for money. Second, if we are lucky, the body has not been processed yet, and we may be able to track the killer processing the body." Jiayi looked up and stared at Xu Shaowei's eyes, thinking about some of the more boring situations she encountered when she followed everyone to solve cases before, and said softly:
"Don't expect to encounter any situation, and control your emotions and don't be disappointed. This is the job of a detective, just do what you are told."
Xu Shaowei nodded, and after seeing the mobile stall passing by, he waved to grandma and bought two strings of candied haws.
"Couples usually eat one string together." Jiayi was a little worried that she would be exposed.
"We are that kind of rich couple." Xu Shaowei.
"Other people are sharing a skewer, but it's not because they are short of money."
"Then do you want to share a skewer with me, madam?"
"...No."
"." Xu Shaowei smiled and continued to chew his candied haws.
When the wind blew from the corner of the street, he would instinctively lean to the side to block the wind for Jiayi.
Jiayi noticed these details, and her good impression of this 'new teammate' in her heart +1.
When Xu Shaowei raised his arm to put the food into his mouth, Jiayi noticed the watch he was wearing. The color scheme is very low-key, with a silver metal chain and a black dial, but it is undoubtedly a Rolex watch, and the price is about more than 20,000, which is Xu Shaowei's two-month salary.
This guy is so willing to spend money on himself... Is this the consumption concept of a bachelor?
Teaming up to conduct surveillance is the easiest activity to increase team members' familiarity.
After two days of surveillance, even though Jiayi and Xu Shaowei didn't talk about each other's personal matters very often, their understanding of each other has changed qualitatively.
In this process, Jiayi also found that Xu Shaowei's patience was not very good. When she mentioned this to Sanfu, Sanfu said that he couldn't stay still when he was young, and said that most men are like this, and it will take a few years to get used to it.
At almost midnight the next night, Jiayi and Xu Shaowei followed Datou after he got off work. The two pretended to be a couple walking on the street, trying not to attract Datou's attention and not letting Datou see them.
Although Datou is the number one assistant of the powerful emerging rich man Zhou Xinhui, he still eats fish ball noodles alone in an old street shop after work.
In the small city of Hong Kong, many people don't care too much about the so-called status. Super rich people will also go to street stalls and small shops, and Li Chaoren will also go to the park on time every day to exercise.
If there is square dancing in Hong Kong in this era, the rich mother will probably join in happily.
Everyone lives very openly. What kind of shitty status, reservedness, and personality are not as important as the happiness of "the father/mother".
Datou's nightlife profoundly illustrates the attitude of rich people to live a comfortable and carefree life.
There is no such thing as extravagance, but just eating, drinking, and defecating.
After finishing his fish ball noodles, he pulled his tie and turned into a small roadside stall with a shed. He ordered two bottles of beer, a pile of peanuts, and a plate of fried crabs. He ate crab legs and drank beer at the same time, feeling very comfortable.
Jiayi memorized all the places that Datou visited, and planned to come and taste Datou's taste after the case was closed.
After drinking beer, Datou ran to the convenience store to buy ice cream and cigarettes. Leaning on the counter, he held a cigarette and held his Octopus card. He ate ice cream and chatted with the salesgirl.
No matter how rich they are, as long as they are men, they still like to waste time with pretty girls.
He didn't brag that he was the general of the big boss Zhou Xinhui, but just talked about everything, trying to show off his erudition and humor. Unfortunately, the salesgirl was not his confidant. Not only did she not talk much, she also often complained that he delayed the customers behind him from buying things. Just when
Jiayi began to speculate whether the lives of the rich man Zhou Xinhui himself and the beautiful star Gu Xiaolan would be more different, Datou left the convenience store and walked back to his home in the nearby community.
But when he passed a glass house of an ATM, he spit out the ice cream stick with teeth marks all over it and turned around and walked in.
Jiayi and Xu Shaowei, who were chasing from a distance on the other side of the road, discovered almost at the same time that the three people squatting near the ATM stood up and looked around while leaning towards the ATM after seeing Datou walk into the ATM.
Jiayi stretched out her hand to signal Xu Shaowei not to be anxious, then walked around and hid behind the tree behind the ATM.
She pulled Xu Shaowei over and stood with him, pretending to be a couple hiding behind a tree to be intimate, so that even if they were discovered, they would not be suspected.
Xu Shaowei looked down at the young woman standing in front of him, who was half a head shorter than him, and her eyes were always fixed on the ATM. From this angle, her long eyelashes were clearly visible, and the slightest tremor could be captured.
He raised his head slightly, turned his face away, and forced his attention to the three people outside who were leaning towards the ATM.
Jiayi was worried that the three men wanted to rob the money, and she happened to meet Datou. She was still thinking about what to do if a conflict broke out.
If she didn't rush out to subdue the three robbers, although it was said to ensure the smooth progress of the current case, but...
if she and Xu Shaowei rushed out to subdue the three robbers, the behavior of following Datou would be exposed, and Datou would definitely become cautious afterwards. Even if there was a plan to contact the killer, I'm afraid it would be terminated. Then it would be almost impossible to get clues from Datou.
After a few minutes of nervous surveillance, the situation that Jiayi was worried about did not happen.
The three "robbers" did not rush into the ATM to rob money, but stood outside in scattered positions.
Datou came out and saw the three people, but he was not nervous. Instead, he raised his chin to the man with a ponytail among the three.
They knew each other.
Jiayi immediately perked up. This was the first time that Datou had come into contact with someone of unknown origin in the two days of surveillance.
Datou walked towards Mawei, and the others just nodded and made expressions in tacit understanding, then turned into the alley and stood in the shadows.
Mawei and Datou stood face to face, about one meter apart. Mawei leaned against the dirty stone wall of the alley, tilted his body, took his right hand out of his pocket, and made a "take it" gesture to Datou with his palm facing up.
Big Head looked unhappy, his hands still in his pockets, clutching the bulging bills in his pockets, and said dissatisfiedly:
"We agreed on 400,000, and you want to raise the price. How can you survive in the underworld in the future if you don't follow the rules, Mawei?"
"Brother Big Head, there is no way. It's difficult to kill someone. The life of a big fish can't be more than 400,000, right? I have several brothers waiting to share the money. You can't let me pay for you to do things out of my own pocket, right?" Mawei tilted his head. Although he spoke politely, his expression was very bad.
"You threatened me by calling the police before? If you really dare to do this, let's see who will give you face in the future." Big Head stomped his feet. Even though there were three people on the other side, he didn't seem to be very scared.
"I had no choice. Calling the police was of course my last resort."
"You called the police, aren't you afraid of getting caught? You were the one who did it."
"I have a worthless life, but after a few years in prison I'll be a good man again. And I'm not the mastermind. But it's different for you, Big Head Brother. Your life and your boss's life are so valuable, how can you compare with ours?" "
Take this 100,000, and I'll make up the 500,000 for you. Don't come to me again in the future. Otherwise I won't admit that I ordered you to do it. If you want to kill someone, go to jail yourself, and don't drag me into it."
"Don't worry, Big Head Brother, 500,000 is enough for me. See you again when we have business in the future." Ponytail stomped his feet, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, flicked a cigarette out and handed it to Big Head Brother.
"No more smoking. Who knows if you have added anything?" Datou waved his hand, took out money from his pocket and handed it to Mawei.
Mawei smiled and stretched out his hand to take the money, but Datou's hand suddenly turned away, avoiding Mawei's hand, and met Mawei's unhappy eyes, staring back more fiercely, and said in a deep voice:
"The police have been keeping a close eye on us recently. I told you not to come to me or call me again. Otherwise, you will be in trouble. Don't blame me for not warning you. Boss Zhou has the best legal team, but you gangsters don't."
"Don't worry, Datou, you are so long-winded. Are you going to give it to me or not?" Mawei was already getting impatient.
Datou snorted, and finally raised his hand again and handed the money over.
Because there was a man with a ponytail at the entrance of the alley, Jiayi and Xu Shaowei could not get close.
But Jiayi, who was standing under a tree far away, kept staring at the mouth shape of the ponytail facing them. Although she had not received professional training in lip reading, she had some guesses in her mind and felt that she could understand it almost exactly.
At the moment when Datou handed the money to Mawei, Jiayi slapped Xu Shaowei, "You catch Datou, I catch Mawei! Do it!", and then she had already drawn her gun and rushed out in an instant, like a small cannonball.
Xu Shaowei was stunned for a second before he reacted. He quickly drew his gun and followed. Soon he passed Jiayi and rushed into the alley with her one in front and one behind.
"Police! Don't move!" Jiayi shouted loudly, and the muzzle of the gun was instantly pointed at Mawei and Datou. This was the moment of both the capture and the loss.
The moment the two rushed into the alley, the person who was watching the wind at the alley entrance had turned around and shouted "retreat". When
Xu Shaowei rushed into the alley entrance, he hit the person who was watching the wind with his shoulder. Because the police had the upper hand, the person who was watching the wind was not prepared and was knocked over.
Xu Shaowei stepped on the chest of the person who was watching the wind, and pressed hard on the other side of the throat. The next moment, the muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at the back of Datou's head, "Don't move, or I will shoot!"
The person who was watching the wind at the other side of the alley entrance saw the police rushing in from the other side, turned around and ran.
When Mawei saw his brothers running over there, he instinctively turned around and ran away. Jiayi shot at Mawei's feet without hesitation.
The loud bang scared everyone's instinct. The bullet shot into the soil, and stones and soil splashed all around, which was very intimidating.
Jiayi took a step forward, still holding the gun very standardly, staring at Mawei, and shouted in a deep voice:
"Don't move!"
The next time he tries to run, she will shoot him in the leg!
Mawei realized the cold meaning in the policewoman's eyes, and finally froze in place, holding his hands high, not daring to move.
Jiayi quickly glanced at the person who ran away from the other side of the alley, turned around and said to Mawei:
"Lie on the wall,
put your hands behind your back!" Mawei gritted his teeth and looked at the muzzle of Jiayi's gun, then at the muzzle of Xu Shaowei's gun. After several struggles, he finally stood facing the wall helplessly with his hands behind his back.
Jiayi stepped forward quickly, put away the gun and took out the handcuffs with extremely neat movements, and handcuffed Mawei with two clicks. After ordering him to squat on the ground facing the wall, he turned around and walked towards Datou.
Xu Shaowei's gun was always pointed steadily at the back of Datou's head, and his foot stepped hard on the neck of the person on the ground, completely restricting the other party's movements under the premise of ensuring that the person on the ground would not suffocate to death.
Of course, what shocked them the most was the guns in the hands of the detectives.
Jiayi skillfully handcuffed Datou and the guard in turn, and then patted Xu Shaowei's legs, indicating that he could lift his feet.
Xu Shaowei held up the gun, looked down at the female police officer who was squatting beside him to handcuff the guard, rubbed the butt of the gun lightly with his fingers, and crushed the flesh under his feet with his toes, then retracted his feet and took a step back.
After Jiayi ordered Datou and the guard to squat against the wall like Mawei, she turned her head to look at Xu Shaowei, and saw that he was still holding the gun, with a solemn and fierce expression.
She frowned, walked up to him, gently pressed her finger on the upper side of her gun, slowly pressed down, and whispered: "Put away the gun, Xu Shaowei."
After a few seconds, Xu Shaowei turned off the safety, slowly put away the gun, and silently put it back into the holster on his waist.
