This arrest operation was the largest one that Jiayi had participated in since she started working, at least the most people were arrested.
They brought back Lu Weiye's wife, the nanny and the Filipino maid from Lu Weiye's home in Tsim Sha Tsui, and brought back Lu Weiye, Lu Weiye's four bodyguards, the young women Lu Weiye brought with him, and Lu Weiye's driver from the mahjong parlor.
"We have 48 hours." Wagner walked out of the interrogation room where Lu Weiye's wife was, walked to the window of another interrogation room where Lu Weiye was imprisoned, and said to Jiayi.
"If we can find strong evidence within these 48 hours, we will have a chance to send him to the electric chair." Jiayi understood that within these 48 hours, Lu Weiye's strategy must be to say nothing. In addition, with his huge legal team, it would be extremely difficult for the police to dig out anything from him.
What's more difficult is that if the evidence is not submitted to the Department of Justice and the case is not brought to the court within 48 hours, Lu Weiye must be released.
Even if the police are following him 24 hours a day, Lu Weiye will still try his best to go abroad to avoid the limelight. Once he escapes, it will be even more difficult to catch this old fox back.
They clearly heard the good news, but they are still far from the final victory.
Being a policeman to catch bad guys is a difficult task.
Sanfu, Jiushu and others were all arranged to be interrogated, including Wagner who personally stepped into the interrogation room. Everyone was busy dealing with these cunning murderers.
Jiayi stood outside the interrogation room. She kept looking at Lu Weiye sitting inside through the small window, frowning the whole time. From time to time, when she had a breakthrough in her thoughts, she would write something down in the small notebook she carried with her, and then raise her head to continue staring at Lu Weiye. Her
eyebrows had been tensed for too long, and her eyebrow muscles were sore, so she stretched her eyebrows, but she stretched her cheeks, pursed her lips, continued to stare, and continued to think.
This was the scene Fang Zhenyue saw when he turned to the outside of the interrogation room.
The originally youthful and excellent face was rubbed dull by work, and even a little haggard.
Walking up to her, he glanced around, and seeing that there was no one else in the area, he quickly reached out and rubbed the back of her head, and then patted her back soothingly.
Jiayi pulled herself out of her thoughts, turned her head slightly dazedly, and faced a vast but calm and gentle pool of black water.
"Brother Yue." She suddenly spoke, her voice slightly hoarse.
The sweet girl suffered and became a bitter girl.
"How is it? Is everything going well?" he asked.
"I feel very confused." Jiayi squeezed the notebook in her hand tightly, and her brows wrinkled again.
"Now that we've caught the person, don't think about the pressure of releasing him in 48 hours, or the pressure from Lu Weiye's lawyers to bail him out." Fang Zhenyue stretched out his hand and blew away all the pressure like a fart, "Ignore it all."
"Well..." Jiayi blinked, and her attention shifted from her depressed mood to Brother Yue.
"Now that we have caught a lot of people, the most important and most important points to consider are: first, who to capture? Second, how to capture them?
" "Just these two points, that's all."
"..." Jiayi seemed to be brought to an empty world by his few words, and all the noise and chaos were shut out.
"Don't think about it for now, take a look at the confessions of others, and see how well the others cooperate except Lu Weiye. "Fang Zhenyue reached out and patted her on the shoulder, then took her away from Lu Weiye's interrogation room and went to the windows of other interrogation rooms.
If there is a "bettor" in the world who is particularly good at abducting Jiayi, it must be Fang Zhenyue.
In the next window, there was an insider who was resisting.
Jiayi became more and more annoyed until she walked to Ah Xiang who was with Lu Weiye, and she saw some hope.
Although Chen Guoxiang didn't dare to speak, she was a little different from the other people who refused to say anything. Her big round eyes kept looking at the window, full of fear.
When she looked at Liu Jiaming, her eyes were full of scrutiny and cowardice.
Liu Jiaming was scolding and When questioning, he used his usual intimidating tone, trying to intimidate first and then coax.
Jiayi looked out the window for a while, and suddenly turned around to look at Fang Zhenyue. Seeing the same thing in the other's eyes as hers, Jiayi's mood lightened, and she turned around and walked around to the door, pushed it open and walked in.
When everyone in the interrogation room looked over, Jiayi said nothing, took Liu Jiaming's documents on the table, and moved them up to the window, blocking the view from outside -
Chen Guoxiang had been looking out, and it was obvious that this one-way window brought her a huge sense of insecurity.
Chen Guoxiang's sense of security +1.
Turning back, Jiayi nodded at Liu Jiaming, and then said, "Brother Jiaming, I want to talk to her alone. "
When facing a woman, timid people will always let down their guard.
Liu Jiaming nodded, stood up, took one last look at Chen Guoxiang, and turned to leave the interrogation room.
Chen Guoxiang's sense of security +1.
"Are you thirsty?" Jiayi asked, and she actually used mainland Mandarin.
"No... not thirsty." Chen Guoxiang looked up in disbelief, "Thank you."
Chen Guoxiang's sense of security +1+1...
"It's okay." Jiayi handed a bottle of mineral water to Chen Guoxiang, and then asked: "When did you come from the mainland?"
"Last week." Chen Guoxiang's eyes, which had been looking around because of fear, finally fixed on one place. She looked at the young female police officer opposite her and did not see anything that scared her.
"Did you come by boat? "Jia Yi asked again.
"I came here with my fellow villagers...with the snakehead..." Chen Guoxiang spoke haltingly. It was not easy to explain such a thing in front of the police when they came here illegally.
"When did you get to Lu Weiye's side?" Jia Yi thought for a moment and added, "It was Uncle Ye who was on crutches."
"I met Uncle Ye for the first time last night." Although Chen Guoxiang didn't talk much, he answered every question.
"Do you know who Uncle Ye is?" Jia Yi asked again.
Chen Guoxiang nodded.
"What were you doing with him?"
"...The snakehead Gao wanted me to accompany...to sleep with Uncle Ye."
"Are you willing? "
When Dang Jiayi asked this question, Chen Guoxiang's voice, which had been low all the time, finally rose. She pressed her hands tightly on the table, shook her head like a rattle, and became emotional:
"I don't want to. I came to Hong Kong to work and earn money. I don't want to be... do that.
"But as soon as I got here, my fellow villagers left. I didn't know anyone and didn't understand anything... The snakehead Gao invited me to dinner and arranged a place for me to stay, and then said that I owed him money for dinner and accommodation, and that he would beat me to death if I couldn't pay it back, so... he took me to Uncle Ye.
"They all said that as long as I accompany Uncle Ye, I can eat and drink delicious food, but I don't want to, but I dare not refuse...
"Today... this morning Uncle Ye asked me to accompany him for breakfast and play mahjong with him... They all said that sooner or later I would agree, and if I agreed, I would have to be good and could not disobey...
"I won't agree, but sir, I... I..."
"Don't be impatient. "Jiayi wanted to stand up and walk over to pat Chen Guoxiang on the shoulder, but considering that her sudden standing up would give the other person a sense of oppression, and walking and other behaviors might also alarm the other person, she held back, just sat far away, and tried to comfort her softly.
After Chen Guoxiang's tears flowed, her emotions were relieved and she regained some calm, Jiayi slowly spoke:
"Are you from northern mainland China? I can hear that your accent doesn't sound like a Cantonese."
"I've been in Guangdong for many years and can speak Cantonese... My hometown is in the northeast, and later my father took our whole family south to escape debt." As the subject changed, Chen Guoxiang's mood became more stable.
"Understood. "Jia Yi smiled and let the air be still for more than ten seconds. She controlled the pace of the conversation again to relax the atmosphere in the interrogation room, and then she slowly said:
"Let me tell you about your current situation, please listen."
"Yes."
"The snakehead Gao is not a good person. He deliberately tricked you into owing him money. Seeing that you are helpless, he forced and threatened you. He wants to take you on the pirate ship, make money from you, and use you to exchange for his own interests. If you take a wrong step, you will be controlled by him for the rest of your life. Not only will you not pay off the money and leave the thieves' den, but you will unknowingly owe more and more until you can't get out or you are killed by him. "
Jia Yi saw that Chen Guoxiang was getting anxious again, so she stretched out her hand and pressed down, signaling the other party to listen to her first:
"But now that you are at the police station, you have a choice.
"Report the human smuggling, human trafficking, and prostitution of the human smuggler Gao, and you can send the human smuggler Gao to jail, and then you will be free."
"..." Chen Guoxiang drooped his eyes slightly, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes.
"On the other hand, Lu Weiye killed someone some time ago, and he was also involved in other serious crimes that were enough to be sentenced to death.
"You were involved in this big case because you were sent to Lu Weiye by the human smuggler Gao.
"I don't know how much you have seen and how much you know. You also don't know what the police need to know and what will be beneficial to the police.
"But I can tell you that as long as you tell the police everything you know, if you can help the police catch Lu Weiye and provide useful evidence, you will become an important witness for the police. The police will protect your safety and privacy for a long time before and after Lu Weiye is sentenced to death.
"If you become a witness for the police, there may be a layer of danger. Because Lu Weiye may try to kill you to silence you.
"But in fact, you have already stepped half a foot into Lu Weiye's fire pit. Helping the police catch Lu Weiye is actually your chance to get rid of Lu Weiye. The police will be your most powerful helper, protecting you and helping you catch and convict those who want to bully and harm you."
Jiayi looked straight into Chen Guoxiang's eyes, letting her see her sincerity:
"You have to fight for your own life. If you want freedom, you have to be brave."
"If I say too much and Lu Weiye escapes the law again, will I be killed by him?" Chen Guoxiang's expression still showed embarrassment and fear.
"I will do my best to prevent him from escaping the law." Jiayi stopped talking, and felt that Chen Guoxiang still had doubts, so she simply added: "What if, what if I really fail to sue Lu Weiye and let him escape. I will send you back to Guangdong on personal guarantee, okay? "
I don't want to go back..." Chen Guoxiang puffed out her chest suddenly. She couldn't go back before she made money. "I...can you help me stay? Please, I can endure hardship and I can do a lot of things. I must make money. I can't go back now..."
"..." Jiayi pursed her lips, troubled for a while, then asked hesitantly: "Do you know how to read? Can you do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division?"
"I can add, subtract, multiplication and division! I can also know most of the numbers, traditional Chinese characters... and some... I, I can learn!" Chen Guoxiang widened his eyes and said eagerly: "I have a good memory. My previous teachers all praised me for my intelligence. "
Then... I can arrange for you to work as a cashier in a tea restaurant, responsible for taking orders, keeping accounts, and collecting money--" Before Jiayi finished her words, Chen Guoxiang quickly replied:
"I can do it! I can also wipe the table and the floor. I used to go up the mountain to collect firewood, coal briquettes, and potatoes, and I was the best and fastest person at it. I can also cook, and I will do it well. "
Brother is renovating Yi Ji and is now short of a cashier, waiter, handyman and cook. If Chen Guoxiang is really hardworking and can do math and read, she can really help brother.
Now the small room that Sun Xin converted from the warehouse is empty. Sun Xin's training will take several months, so she can live there temporarily.
This person has a very clean criminal record. Apart from being involved in Lu Weiye's affairs, he is actually suitable.
After Chen Guoxiang arrives at Yi Ji, she will have to change her name and cannot speak Mandarin for a period of time.
The police need to send someone to protect Chen Guoxiang's safety nearby 24 hours a day... In fact, they will go to Yi Ji every noon and evening. Among the people having dinner, there were people from the police station. If they were not from O Kee, they were from other departments. Yik Kee was indeed a very safe place.
The Serious Crime Unit was also helping O Kee in this matter. Later, she could find Inspector Tong and ask him to send a few more people to protect Chen Guoxiang to ensure the safety of witnesses, Yik Kee's family and guests.
Jiayi's heart was boiling with blood as she looked into Chen Guoxiang's big eyes, which were clearly black and white and round like a puppy.
She shook her head, her eyebrows slightly parted, and the ends of her eyebrows turned to the sides.
The eldest brother is still renovating Yik Kee. If he knew that she had taken the initiative to recruit a cashier for him, I wonder what he would do...
"Commander!" Chen Guoxiang saw some hesitation in Jiayi's eyes. A burst of anger suddenly rushed to her head. She said loudly:
"The person who manages the account for Uncle Ye is called Wang Ting. I remember his appearance.
"The man who helps Uncle Yip manage the business near David Lee Secondary School in Yau Ma Tei is called Uncle Gu, and I remember his appearance!"
Uncle Yip didn't know that she had a strong memory. He looked down on her as a weak woman who was worried and "stupid". He was very confident in himself and thought that she would eventually become a plaything for him to manipulate. So he didn't turn his back on her when he listened to those people's reports.
Ordinary people may not be able to remember even if they listened carefully, let alone remember all the names of those people.
But Chen Guoxiang has had a good memory since she was young, especially when it comes to recognizing people. When she thinks back now, the faces of those people can appear clearly in her mind.
Doesn't the police have transparent paper that can be used to piece together people's facial features? She can do it!
"...The one who runs the business on Dundas Street in Yau Ma Tei, Ting Ge calls him Mr. Bai, and I remember his appearance, height, etc.
"...They are preparing to do a big thing during Christmas, and develop more teenage customers, saying that children now have a lot of pocket money.
"...Also, Snake King Gao also wants to do business with Uncle Ye.
"...When they were chatting, although they only mentioned it once and then deliberately left it vague, I don't know where it was, but...I remember those few words...It's...there is a warehouse near Tashijiao..."
Jiayi's eyes widened as she listened, and she clenched her fists. At this moment, she was so surprised that even if Chen Guoxiang wanted to be the Chief Executive, she might nod uncontrollably.
Ms. Chen Guoxiang, the easy-to-remember Xinjin Accounting Housekeeper, it's you!
