Three days had passed since Team B sent all the information on the kneeling corpse case to the Department of Justice and had two rounds of communication with the lawyer who took the case.
Inspector Tang from O brought Madam Qiu Susan, who was familiar with the task, to CID B's office to meet with Yi Jiayi and Fang Zhenyue.
When she walked into Fang Zhenyue's office, Qiu Susan instinctively walked behind the desk. It took her two steps to realize that it was no longer her seat, but Fang Zhenyue's.
Looking around, her once warm and cozy decoration disappeared completely. Sir Fang's style was minimalist and cold. To put it bluntly, it was empty and deserted. Apart from the necessary filing cabinets and a few chairs, there was basically nothing.
Even the cups on the table were just disposable coffee cups. He didn't even have the thermos cup and wooden tea tray that an inspector should have.
"Half of Lu Weiye's money has been transferred away, and the technical department is looking for the whereabouts of the money, but the person who transferred the money seemed to have planned everything long ago. The people arranged at each step seemed to be fine, but in the end the money evaporated reasonably.
"The account shows that the money was used to purchase goods, but it is estimated that there will not be any return goods such as fruits."
Tang Zongli handed the first set of information to Jia Yi and Fang Zhenyue for review, and then continued:
"Wang Ting was followed for three days, and our colleagues from the intelligence department were blocked in an alley near his home."
"Ah! "Jia Yi's eyes widened in nervousness for a moment. Wang Ting was a low-key and ruthless person according to all the people who confessed. How could there be any good result if such a person blocked our colleagues in the Intelligence Department?
As everyone knows, the Intelligence Department is known as the paparazzi of the police force. They strive to have excellent memory and ordinary looks, so that they can avoid being discovered when tracking and obtain information to the maximum extent - fighting has never been their strong point.
But Wang Ting is the number one red stick in front of Lu Weiye. Although there is no record of him killing or seriously injuring people in his criminal record, from the descriptions in other people's confessions, Wang Ting is very good at fighting!
"It's okay, it's okay. "Seeing Jiayi's worried expression, Tang Zongli continued hurriedly: "Wang Ting blocked us in order to quietly tell us that he is willing to be a tainted witness.
"I have already met Wang Ting secretly this morning. After chatting, I found that he knows the law very well.
"He only helped Lu Weiye to do the accounting and left no other evidence of evil deeds. After being a tainted witness, he can be exempted from prosecution and any criminal punishment.
"He knew this situation himself, so he took the initiative to contact us, and agreed to be our bait, contact upstream product sellers and other gang leaders who wanted to replace Lu Weiye, and then make arrangements for us.
"Just now, I have received his message. He is going to contact the bosses of the two gangs in 3 days, and he will give us a list at that time. And help us create a kidnapping scene so that we can arrest people and collect evidence."
"Great! " Jiayi slammed her fist on the table.
The Hong Kong Legal Department has a very clear description of the tainted witness system. The Anglo-American common law system is different from the mainland legal system. In this case, which is serious and poses a major threat to Hong Kong's public security, and ordinary investigative means are unable to work, if the tainted witness meets the following conditions: 1. The accomplice can provide the necessary evidence for conviction, and the evidence cannot be obtained from other channels; 2. The accomplice deserves far less punishment than the accused defendant, the Director of Public Prosecutions can issue a letter of exemption from prosecution to the tainted witness to completely exempt him from guilt.
Wang Ting fully understood this and took the initiative to contact the police.
Tang Zongli turned his head and looked at her and smiled. The young guys are indeed more passionate and enthusiastic than them, the old guys. When they heard the news, all the old dogs were ashamed, and only Jiayi had clear emotional ups and downs.
It's great to be young.
"I think... Wang Ting has probably been preparing for this day. He has been able to protect his reputation for so many years, and he contacted us immediately after encountering such an incident... Our action this time is like providing him with a perfect opportunity to clear his name." Jiayi turned to look at the others.
"There are self-righteous fools in this world, and there should also be smart people who are particularly low-key and introverted. This possibility cannot be ruled out." Fang Zhenyue nodded.
"In addition to immunity, Wang Ting also asked us to create another identity for him in the mainland, to protect him for two years after the case is completely concluded, and then to help him arrange legal resident status after returning to Hong Kong." Tang Zongli nodded, "We agreed."
"Understood. "Jia Yi nodded.
"Regarding Lu Weiye's guilt documents, O has submitted a copy of his extravagance evidence to the Department of Justice. Because we have Wang Ting, we don't need Lu Weiye as a tainted witness, and we have rejected Lu Weiye's application to be a tainted witness. When the court sentences him for multiple crimes, he will probably not escape the death penalty.
"The indictment documents of Mr. Bai and others who were captured by O Ji have also been submitted to the Department of Justice. They will be tried one by one. We will not let any of them go. Please rest assured, colleagues in CID."
Tang Zongli nodded very solemnly to Fang Zhenyue and Jiayi, making sure that they received his greetings, and then continued:
"Although there may be twists and turns and dangers in the future, the case of the kneeling corpse should have been completely closed.
"Before that, I would like to thank the Serious Crime Unit B for all their support and help to O Ji. This mission can achieve such a great interim victory, all thanks to the help of the detectives of Unit B, especially Yi Shazhan.
"Our Chief Superintendent of O-Ji, Sir Chen, asked me to tell you that after the mission is completed, a celebration meeting will be held for the entire police force. He will definitely strive to get the biggest rewards for everyone in Group B and Yi Shazhan."
"This is what we should do." Jiayi immediately expressed her position.
Tong Zongli nodded and smiled, but did not answer. You did what you should do, and we must do what we should do. This is called loyalty. We can't just take it for granted and enjoy it just because you have done what you should do. It doesn't make sense.
Qiu Susan sat on the side, taking notes while looking at Tong Zongli and Jiayi from time to time.
At the O-Ji meeting, Sir Tong dared to argue with four or five inspectors and superintendents who disagreed with him. He has always been the loudest speaker at the desk. But when facing Jiayi, he spoke softly, as if he was afraid that his voice was too loud and would make Jiayi misunderstand that he did not respect her enough.
In a short period of time, Yi Jiayi was no longer the sweet and soft girl who secretly drew red circles in the office and did not know many rules in the police station.
Now, her eyebrows and eyes are more heroic, and she has grown into a person who can stand on her own and is respected by her superiors.
The encouragement from Yi Jiayi doubled, Qiu Sushan took a deep breath, and the fear of getting along with a group of unfamiliar inspectors after entering the O record, dealing with more murderers and bigger cases was reduced by half. She sat up straight and her eyes became much more resolute.
Next, the two sides communicated about the time of the subsequent court hearing, the pace of the public relations department's release, and other details. At the end of the meeting, Fang Zhenyue and Yi Jiayi saw Qiu Susan and Tang Zongli off together. When they left the office, Jiayi quietly stuffed a few pieces of nougat to Madam:
"My eldest brother made it last night. The one inside that is not in a good shape was cut out by me. Madam, have a taste."
"Ah, thank you Jiayi." Qiu Sushan was full of surprise. Although Yi Jiayi was no longer the Yi Jiayi of the past, she was still as kind to her as before.
Some things in this world will keep changing, and some feelings will not.
Looking at Jiayi's raised eyebrows and smiling, she really wanted to give her a big kiss on her collagen-filled cheeks, but it was a pity that she couldn't... That would be too weird for her aunt, and she only dared to think about it.
When Tang Zongli heard Qiu Sushan's thanks, he turned around and questioned with his eyes.
Jiayi met his eyes and suddenly said as if she remembered something:
"Tang Sir, I will take a day off tomorrow. Also, Yi Ji will reopen tomorrow, with a 20% discount for the whole store, and there will be new dishes for you to try first.
"By the way, Chen Guoxiang, who served as a witness for us, is really good at cooking Northeastern Chinese cuisine. The ground pot chicken, ground pot fish, and ground pot pork ribs are all delicious! You haven't tried them, have you? My eldest brother built a small stove for her in the yard behind the kitchen, and they only sell three pots for each meal. You must come and try it! Make a reservation in advance, or call me!
"Also, the crab season is only in its last month. If you don't come to eat now, you'll have to wait until next year!"
Jiayi spoke like pearls, just like an excited girl promoting a product in a TV commercial.
Tang Zongli was amused by her and laughed out loud. The respect he showed her was mixed with some selfish affection.
"I will definitely go there tomorrow at noon. Please order me an Imperial Chicken!"
A chicken called "Empire" must be a very delicious dish!
"No problem!" Jiayi raised her thumbs up. "See you tomorrow at noon!"

People who often watch Hong Kong movies know that Hong Kong people like to shoot eating scenes.
Before a big hero fights, he must eat meat and drink wine. Before a gangster fights, he must go to an ice house to have a bowl of noodles. Before Wu Song fights a tiger, he must eat meat and drink wine. Those who go to their death and don't know whether they can come back alive naturally have to eat a full meal before going to the underworld.
Mr. Cai Lan accompanied the hunted martial arts star Fang Long to go abroad to avoid the limelight a month ago. While avoiding the limelight, he ate, drank, had fun, and filmed a movie. Recently, the limelight has passed, and after returning to Hong Kong, he wants to make up for a few scenes of eating delicious food.
But after visiting many shops, they are either too down-to-earth or too undown-to-earth, and he has never found a shop that he likes. These scenes need some special dishes. In order to show the grandeur of tasting something new and sighing "There are always some delicious foods in life that I haven't eaten yet, and I am not willing to die yet", Mr. Cai thinks that the food that always appears in movies and TV is too ordinary.
When he was bored, he read the news to distract himself, and saw the overwhelming content of "drug dealers arrested". One of the articles described the arrest of drug dealer Lu Mouye, and how the police drew a profile of Lu Mouye as soon as they saw a dead body based on criminal psychology.
Cai Lan has always loved new and interesting things. Seeing such a magical method of solving cases, he was very interested. He immediately wanted to contact Inspector Guo of the Public Relations Department of the Police Force to talk about whether this profiling ability is so amazing. Then he read about Yi Shazhan of CID B Group in the article.
Cai Lan raised his eyebrows, which were not too heavy, and instantly thought of Yi Ji. Isn't this Yi Shazhan the sister of the boss of Yi Ji? He wanted to understand the situation, so he might as well go to Yi Ji and taste the delicious food again.
As soon as he thought about it, he immediately called his assistant Luck to help him book a crab feast.
There was a soft and gentle voice on the other end of the phone, saying that Yi Ji was recently renovated and would reopen tomorrow.
Luck immediately booked a full crab feast for the next day's lunch. The soft female voice said ok, and then introduced that Yi Ji launched a new dish called "Empire Chicken", "Empire Fish", "Empire Goose" and "Empire Spare Ribs". Only three tables are available every day, and one table has been booked. Are you interested?
When Luck heard the sharp name of the dish, he immediately ordered "Empire Goose".
The soft female voice happily agreed, and asked his phone number, surname, time of visit, etc., and arranged the best viewing seat in front of the kitchen window for him. It is said that this seat can listen to the boss's artistic and heritage introduction of the dishes while eating.
Luck became even more interested when he heard this. Although he didn't know what the kitchen window was like and what changes would happen after the renovation of Yi Ji, he was already rubbing his hands in anticipation.
...
After a month of training at the TVB training class, there was finally a day off.
Sun Xin played a guest chef role in a TV series last week, which would be broadcast on TV that night. He packed his luggage happily and returned to "home". He
was going to take a Dingdang car with his classmates, but he saw the familiar big jeep as soon as he went out.
He ran over and said, "Mr. Fang, you are back home," and saw that it was Yi Jiayi sitting in the driver's seat.
"Jiayi!" He raised his eyebrows excitedly, and the whole person seemed to be more cheerful than when he first entered school.
People really need to enter society and experience training.
"New boy, get in the car. I'll take you for a ride!" Jiayi raised her chin coolly and pointed her thumb back, signaling him to get in the car.
Sun Xin laughed at Fang Zhenyue, who was sitting on the co-pilot seat, and opened the back door and climbed in. He pressed the window button, and the window slid down. The fresh wind rushed in. He was so happy.
The classmates from the TVB training class waved goodbye to the "second-generation" new boy who had a strong backing in their hearts, with envy in their eyes.
Sun Xin felt warm in his heart, and he held Jiayi's driver's seat with both hands. He was as happy as a child going to the beach with his parents, and he was just short of sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail.

In the evening, the O-Tribe held a meeting, including the Intelligence Department that cooperated with the mission, the seconded PTU mobile unit commander, and the two captains of the Flying Tigers under the PTU.
The large conference room was full, and the White-browed Eagle King was giving instructions and making arrangements.
After the meeting was over, Tang Zongli casually mentioned that he had made a reservation for lunch tomorrow at Yi Ji, so as not to delay the action tomorrow night.
The White-browed Eagle King remembered that Yi Ji was Jia Yi's shop, and the crab feast was delicious, so he immediately suggested:
"Why don't we try the crab feast tomorrow? River crabs will soon be gone this year, right?"
"Yes, this month is the last month in season, and we will have to wait until next year if we want to eat it again." Tang Zongli nodded.
"Ah, I heard that it seems to be very delicious. It was the favorite of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, and there is only one in Hong Kong?" A colleague from the PTU suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes, it's delicious." O Ji Inspector Nie Dayong immediately answered, he had also eaten it!
Several officers who had never eaten there before and the captain of the Flying Tigers immediately asked, "Can we join in and eat together?"
"Of course! The gate faces the sky, and it's meant to welcome guests." Tang Zongli made the decision immediately, and so all the officers in the room agreed to eat at Yi Ji together at noon tomorrow.
Not only did they have to go, they also had to bring their subordinates with them.
Tang Zongli counted the number of people and exclaimed, "This is incredible!" He left the conference room and called Yiji. "We have to book
the whole place!
We have to book the whole place!
Otherwise, there won't be enough space for so many bear-like strong men...
