Today, Hong Kong is very sunny. When the sun reaches the waist of the building, the temperature is high enough to make people sweat profusely when doing outdoor activities. It is not suitable to go out on such a day. At

this time, the situation is tense. The conflict between the former Monkey Gang and the former Wo Yi Society has not been completely resolved. Many young people walking on the streets near Kowloon Walled City seem to have tense and anxious expressions on their faces. No one knows which person who passes by you is harboring evil intentions and wants to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.

The dark cloud of Prince Tao's murder is still looming over her head. For Zhong Chuantao's daughter Zhong Chuanjie, she should never go out to play at this stage, even if she is accompanied by a barbarian.

Yi Jiayi found Zhong Chuanjie at the place Qiu Sushan mentioned. The girl seemed to want to be seen. She was holding a cup of milk tea and standing in the shadow of the eaves outside a vintage shop. While drinking tea, she chatted casually with Manniu beside her.

She let people who came and went look at her openly, and also watched all the passers-by.

Yi Jiayi parked the car at the roadside parking lot, sat in the car and stared for a while, then suddenly felt something, turned off the engine and got out of the car. She put her mobile phone in her pocket and went straight to Zhong Chuanjie.

When they were more than ten steps away, Manniu saw her, and immediately stood up unkindly and looked at her with hostility.

Zhong Chuanjie reached out and touched Manniu, then stood up and faced Officer Yi who was walking towards her.

"Are you waiting for me?" Yi Jiayi asked.

"I didn't know it was Officer Yi who was following me." Zhong Chuanjie had the reserved expression that a rich lady usually has on her face. She didn't need to act proud to raise her status, and people already felt that she was not a very easy person to get along with.

After denying Jiayi's words, she smiled again and took out a few newspaper clippings from the LV bag she was carrying on her body. There were photos of Yi Jiayi on them. "But I have thought about it. If I find the police, I will tell them that I want to meet Officer Yi."

"..." Jiayi and Zhong Chuanjie looked at each other for a few seconds, and their eyes saw a cafe in the shopping mall behind them. It was working hours, and there were only a few people in the cafe. It seemed like a good place to talk. "Would you like to sit down?"

"Madam, are you treating?" Zhong Chuanjie tilted her head and showed a restrained smile.

"No problem." Yi Jiayi nodded and took the lead in pushing open the glass door of the mall.

Manniu glanced at Zhong Chuanjie. Although he seemed to disapprove of the young lady's behavior, he still stretched out his hand to hold the glass door that Yi Jiayi pushed open.

This coffee shop was not very high-end, but it was clean and spacious. When Yi Jiayi and the other two sat in the corner, the empty seats around them became a natural partition, enough to ensure the privacy of their conversation.

After the three of them ordered coffee and snacks, Jiayi looked at the defensive bull sitting outside Zhong Chuanjie, and asked Zhong Chuanjie: "Do you have anything to say to me?" "

Officer Yi, I read some Hong Kong newspapers and found that you seem to be a very good detective. When I saw you yesterday, I felt that you were very serious and someone who really wanted to solve the case, so I wanted to talk to you. Maybe it will be helpful to catch the real murderer who killed my brother." Zhong Chuanjie pursed his lips, "I don't know if I know something that can help you, but I don't want to stay at home all the time."

"Do you want me to record my statement again?" Jiayi raised her eyebrows.

"Yes." Zhong Chuanjie nodded. "Daddy doesn't allow Mommy and I to tell too much to outsiders. He hopes that I understand my identity and take on the burden of the family from the moment my brother died and become the person he expects me to be."

Zhong Chuanjie lowered his eyes and looked at his nails, which he had just done yesterday. While rubbing his nails, he said, "Madam, you may not believe it, but in this family, I may be the one who wants to know the truth about my brother's death the most."

"What do you mean? Mr. and Mrs. Zhong don't want to know?" Jiayi spread out her little notebook, determined to be a good listener.

"Mummy already has no son. Even if the real murderer is caught, it won't change the status quo. She is a very pragmatic woman. All she wants now is for me to immediately gain Daddy's trust and be able to smoothly take over the family business." Zhong Chuanjie raised his eyes and smiled at Jiayi innocently, "You know, in a family like ours... the interests are too great, so great that family affection can't compete. Everyone thinks of interests first. Although my dad and mom have a good relationship and we have never been disturbed by any other women, who knows if Daddy really has no illegitimate children outside. Mommy is so worried that after my brother dies, an illegitimate child will suddenly appear to inherit Daddy's family business. Then she and I will have no good life in the future... Well, at least we won't have the life of a rich lady with everything provided for us."

"What about Mr. Zhong? Doesn't he want to know who the real murderer is?" Jiayi frowned slightly, and suddenly felt uneasy in her heart.

"Daddy wants to know some things, but he also has other opinions. Haven't you thought about it?" Zhong Chuanjie suddenly asked back. Her half-smile seemed to contain some sarcasm: Such an obvious thing, didn't you police guess it?

"..." Jiayi frowned slightly, but did not respond.

Zhong Chuanjie smiled and raised his eyebrows, "The reason why Daddy retired from the business and cleared himself was largely for my brother. But Daddy also knows what kind of person my brother is."

"What kind of person?"

"Madam, have you seen "Dream of Red Mansions"? "

"Of course." Jiayi nodded.

"My brother is like Jia Baoyu, but he was not born with jade in his mouth, but gold. Our family is also prosperous. People of that generation like golden and red things, and they want to be rich and powerful."

Zhong Chuanjie's talk was a bit rambling, but Jiayi did not interrupt her. She wanted to hear more and more comprehensive stories about the Zhong family in order to judge the movements of the former Wo Yi Society led by Zhong Dazhi, as well as the situation of the victim of the case, Zhong Chuantao.

After a few seconds of pause, Zhong Chuanjie continued:

"Everyone is like Jia Baoyu living in the modern world. He has been spoiled since he was a child, and everyone in the family is always around him. Everyone likes him, everyone is afraid of him, and he has everything he wants... Since he was born, all you see are smiling faces.

"Originally, I was similar to him, but I'm a daughter, so I don't have to be kept by my father to be trained as an heir. I was sent to England when I was 12 years old. From the moment I set foot in a foreign country, I realized what the real world is. The people around me are no longer all humble, polite, and respectful to me... Do you know? It was then that I realized that most people encounter setbacks from birth. After falling down, I learned to watch the road before walking. After being bullied, I learned to be cautious when dealing with others. Sometimes I have to act fierce to avoid being bullied, and sometimes I have to act kind to avoid conflicts. After failing, I learned what shame is. From the small shame, I learned how to deal with shame, and gradually cultivated the ability to withstand even big shame and failures...

"It's a pity that I don't have such experience. Do you know what would happen if an adolescent girl who has been in an absolutely sterile environment was suddenly thrown into a bacterial environment?"

Zhong Chuanjie suddenly fell silent. After a few minutes, she raised her head and made killing movements with her left and right hands. She made fighting sounds, and then smiled awkwardly:

"It was a killing spree. It was difficult, madam, but I survived.

"At that time, I felt that my brother might not be able to live a long and smooth life, and Daddy's expectations of him would definitely be dashed."

Shrugging her shoulders, she sighed:

"I just didn't expect my brother to die so early."

"A person who has never known the real world cannot survive in the real world." Jiayi continued.

"Yes, madam, you know what I mean!" Zhong Chuanjie made a surprised expression, tilted his head and thought for a while, and added: "Any small setback could cause him to have a mental breakdown. But fortunately, my brother did not have a mental breakdown and was killed. If he was not tortured to death, it might be a kind of luck."

This world is really wonderful. People who were carefully cultivated became a playboy and were tortured to death.

The child who was casually pushed off the cliff and allowed to learn to fly by herself, has become more experienced than her age.

"Madam, I think my brother might have died at the hands of a woman." Zhong Chuanjie suddenly said.

"!" Jiayi hurriedly wrote this sentence in her notebook.

Zhong Chuanjie also thought so, so it would be more logical for Jiayi to guide the B team agents to focus on Guo Shuni!

"Why do you think so?" Jiayi asked as if she had found a treasure.

"As for Jia Baoyu, it's still my theory." Zhong Chuanjie put a little coffee on his fingers and made a coffee-colored peach blossom on the table. "Since puberty, all the women my brother likes like him. It's like Jia Baoyu. When he grew up, he met a woman whose life was not controlled by his daddy, and was rejected by her. Then he realized - ah? Not all women like me?"

When Zhong Chuanjie said this, he deliberately imitated a man's tone and pretended to be particularly serious and surprised.

Then he sighed deeply, spread his hands and said:

"Daddy said that brother is a very sentimental person. It's true. When he likes a woman, he is very serious, forgetting to eat and sleep, and even dying for her. When he was 17 years old, he liked an elder sister. He was restless at home after not seeing her for one night. Daddy arranged for the driver to take everyone to see the elder sister in the middle of the night. Do you think he is infatuated?

" "But he is also like Jia Baoyu. He is infatuated with Qingwen, his attacker, and Sister Lin... But when Qingwen was driven out of the house, he didn't do anything. Instead, he was very happy when he learned that Qingwen called her mother all night before her death. 'Why did she call her mother all night but not me? '

"Hmph."

Zhong Chuanjie snorted softly. At this moment, she could no longer conceal her contempt for her brother.

A smart child who has been through many hardships cannot respect a 'baby' who is too well protected and does not even understand basic principles, even if that person is her brother.

"He takes every relationship very seriously. After getting tired of them, he does not care about the old feelings at all. He has so many sisters, how can he understand that others only have his joy and pain in their hearts? He never thinks that he is cruel, nor does he think that there is anything wrong with it.

"If any woman pesters him, he doesn't need to worry. Daddy has already called them barbaric bulls and black dragons, and dealt with those women.

"Give me money, isn't that enough? Then I'll just have to beat you up... Madam, do you know that for many women, the humiliation of just a slap in the face can become a lifetime nightmare?"

Zhong Chuanjie suddenly turned to look at Manniu, "Manniu, do you hit women?"

"What kind of man is it to hit a woman?" Manniu sneered.

"Then haven't you been sent by Daddy to deal with the troubles around your brother?" Zhong Chuanjie asked.

"..." Manniu hesitated, and glanced at Yi Jiayi with the corner of his eye, without commenting on Zhong Dazhi's affairs here.

Zhong Chuanjie seemed to have gotten the answer. She suddenly reached out and pulled Manniu's hand, smiling and saying, "Manniu, you are very good. Don't do those things. People who do that kind of thing for Daddy are just dogs. Even if Daddy praises them for being loyal, he still despises them from the bottom of his heart. You must have backbone and do something meaningful, then Daddy will respect you."

Manniu put his hand on his leg and let Zhong Chuanjie pull and caress it, without pulling it back.

Noticing Yi Jiayi's gaze, he turned his eyes away, but exposed his red ears to the other party.

"So you think Zhong Chuantao was killed because of emotional disputes?" Yi Jiayi wrote down this question in the notebook again.

"..." Zhong Chuanjie suddenly stared at Yi Jiayi. The two looked at each other for a few seconds and raised their lips at the same time, "Madam, you seem to know something."

"You seem to know something too." Jiayi replied.

"Hey, Manniu said that most of the girlfriends my brother dated before were women who held not so important positions in Daddy's industry, that is, women with jobs with high mobility. That's very safe, because they have their own people to take care of them. Or some girls from outside. Although they are not under Daddy's control, fortunately, their family backgrounds are relatively simple. Even if they are dumped, it's usually nothing. You know, if they are just ordinary people, they can't cause any waves.

"But the two girlfriends he dated recently are not good. They are women who work in the old gentleman's industry that competes with Daddy. With people like this, not only are we unable to control them, we also don’t know if they have ulterior motives. Manniu has been worried for a long time, but Dad dotes on my brother too much, so he always thinks it’s not a big deal… But Manniu and I both feel something is wrong, but we can’t be sure, what exactly is wrong…”

Zhong Chuanjie pondered over his words in silence before continuing:

“Is it the two women themselves who are wrong, or is there someone behind them who is wrong?

“I just don’t believe as firmly as Dad that only the former ape gang members are so brave, and no one else would dare to touch his son.

“But, madam…”

Zhong Chuanjie waved the newspaper clipping in his hand, “we all know that Hong Kong is different now. It’s different from the time when Dad was conquering the world.

"There is no such thing as someone who dares not touch Zhong Dazhi's son."

Her expression suddenly became extremely serious, and there was even a bit of Zhong Dazhi's shadow on her face.

People say that daughters resemble their fathers, and it is probably true.

She pressed her fingers on the table, stared at Yi Jiayi, and said word by word:

"Madam, I hope you can check the two women who belonged to Jin Kaili Nightclub and dated my brother. From the way my brother died, I have a hunch that this is not the way people who have been in the society for a long time do things."

"Guo Shuni and Zhao Jinfang, right?" Jiayi held the notebook and wrote down this sentence in a flamboyant manner.

"Yes, A Ni Mei and A Jin." Man Niu, who was sitting next to him, interrupted at this time.

"OK." Jiayi nodded and wrote down Man Niu's words again.

Zhong Chuanjie took a sip of coffee, and after Jiayi finished writing, he stood up to go to the bathroom.

Manniu wanted to stand up, but Zhong Chuanjie pressed his shoulder back and said, "Don't worry, this area is Daddy's territory, you sit here and drink coffee with Madam."

After saying that, she strode away.

The order was given without question.

Jiayi looked at Zhong Chuanjie's back. This young lady seemed to be about the same age as her.

They had different experiences, but they were both people who were pushed to the forefront by fate.

Retracting her gaze, Jiayi began to ask Manniu the usual questions, but the other party was a little absent-minded, as if he was very worried about Zhong Chuanjie who was not in his sight for a while.

Jiayi simply stopped asking questions. Seeing his crooked front teeth showing when he drank coffee, she couldn't help but teasing:

"You licked them a lot when your teeth were growing, right?"

"What?" Manniu came back to his senses and raised his eyebrows.

Jiayi pointed at his front teeth.

"..." Manniu licked his crooked front teeth unconsciously again, and then realized that he was being teased.

Looking up at Yi Jiayi, he sat up straighter unconsciously.

He knew that he looked very fierce, and most people were unwilling to talk to him more. This female detective didn't seem to be afraid of his fierce appearance at all, and even chatted with him casually and joked with him as if he were an ordinary person.

She also had a kind of charm that was enough to attract him. He couldn't say what it was, but it convinced him, and made him sit up straight and pay attention to his manners when facing her.

"In fact, Zhong Dazhi has sent you to do dirty things that are not so grand, right?" Jiayi suddenly spoke.

"..." Manniu's eyebrows twitched, and he stared at Yi Jiayi again, "I have never hit a woman."

"But you know that Zhong Dazhi does not regard you as a person who can be respected." Jiayi used an affirmative sentence, "I know that after the former Red Stick of the Heyi Society died of illness, Zhong Dazhi only had you and Hei Pilong as thugs, but there was no new Red Stick. It was not because Zhong Dazhi had cleaned himself up when the Heyi Society became a thing of the past and no longer needed Red Sticks. It was because he did not recognize you two young men, and did not think that you two young men were enough to compete with the dead Red Stick. He never really respected you and Hei Pilong."

Jiayi stared at Manniu, and her words pierced his heart like a needle:

"You know this.

"Zhong Chuanjie also knows this.

"You also know that Zhong Chuanjie knows this, and you know that she was just reminding you just now. She doesn't want you to always be Zhong Dazhi's dog. She hopes that you will take a step on your own... Otherwise, you will never have a chance.

"You know what I mean by 'opportunity'. "

The opportunity to talk to Zhong Chuanjie face to face, instead of just standing beside her or behind her.

"..." Manniu clenched his fists, his face flushed, and he was a little angry.

But he did not refute Jiayi, nor did he say anything offensive.

At this time, Zhong Chuanjie went to the bathroom and walked back briskly. Jiayi turned her gaze back to Zhong Chuanjie and smiled and nodded to him.

Zhong Chuanjie sat back in her seat, looked at Yi Jiayi, and then at Manniu. She seemed to see something, but did not ask more.

She drank the coffee at the bottom of the cup, and shook her head when Jiayi asked if she wanted to order another cup.

"Madam, I have one more sentence."

"You say." Jiayi pressed the tip of the pen above the horizontal line of the notebook again.

Zhong Chuanjie pushed Yi Jiayi's pen away with her fingers, "Don't write this sentence. "

OK." Jiayi raised her eyebrows curiously.

"I just said that Daddy doesn't completely want to know the real murderer who killed my brother." After Zhong Chuanjie said this, she realized that Manniu wanted to stop her, but she stretched out her hand to block Manniu's chest, and pressed him back to the back of the chair.

Her eyes were still on Yi Jiayi's face, never moving away:

"It is much more difficult for him to give the family business to me than to my brother.

"He knows that no matter how much industry he leaves to me, it will eventually shrink.

"Then why not try to get as many industries as possible, so that even if it shrinks, there will still be a lot.

"So he wants to expand.

"Also, it is the nature of an ambitious man like him to keep growing and owning more territories. Before, he had my brother and me, and he lost the courage to fight for his business without fear of death. But now that his brother is gone, although he wants me to take over his business, for the old guys of his generation, daughters are not as important as sons.

"If he fails, even if he dies, most of the territories will be swallowed up in the end, and it doesn't seem to matter... Anyway, his son is dead.

"Do you understand, madam?"

Yi Jiayi swallowed dryly, and suddenly felt her heartbeat speed up. Her ears were burning. She frowned and asked uncertainly:

"You mean, he wants to follow up on Zhong Chuantao's death and declare war on the former ape gang. Using this as an excuse, he wants to find a way to annex the former ape gang's territory with justification?"

"Maybe people will die, and some people may be captured. As long as more members of the former Ape Gang die and are arrested, he will be able to make the former Ape Gang Liang Yuexia's nightclub named Zhong, as well as those supermarkets, bars, and massage parlors, all named Zhong. "Zhong Chuanjie started playing with his nails again, "It is also possible that he will die, but he is older than Liang Yuexia and has lived for several decades longer, so he still has the advantage over Liang Yuexia."

"He may not want the police to catch the real murderer within 3 days." Jiayi rolled her eyes and said in disbelief: "He may even violate the 3-day agreement with the police and take action suddenly when the police think that 'Zhong Dazhi promised not to cause trouble within 3 days' and relax?"

Zhong Chuanjie raised his lips and smiled and nodded, looking at Yi Jiayi with more approval in his eyes, "I believe more and more that Yi Shazhan is really the detective mentioned in the newspaper. ”

“Don’t you want Zhong Dazhi to take action?” Jiayi frowned and stared at the expression of the girl opposite her for a moment. She wanted to understand Zhong Chuanjie.

Doesn’t Zhong Chuanjie want his father to help her seize a bigger industry?

After all, the risk is Zhong Dazhi’s, not hers.

“Because I know that in the end no one will benefit. You police will arrest everyone. Madam, I am younger than him. In my head, there are no traces and rules of the past. I can also accept the laws of the new world more easily than him. I know what you will do. This world no longer works the way he thinks.” Zhong Chuanjie’s expression became serious again, “Besides, I am already fat enough. I know that even if I am smarter than my peers, I still lack a lot of experience.

"Fat without strength is very dangerous. I can't let myself get fatter or become more dangerous."

She sighed softly, and her face showed a heavy mood that was absolutely inappropriate for her age, as if she had experienced too many setbacks and accumulated too much depression.

"Don't add entities if it's not necessary."

...

Back in her car, Jiayi drove far behind Zhong Chuanjie and Manniu's car, and followed them in a businesslike manner until they returned home.

There were other people following Zhong Dazhi's home. After Jiayi completed the temporary task of following Zhong Chuanjie and reported to Inspector Qiu Susan, she turned the steering wheel around and returned to the police station with a lot of gains.

On the way, she checked the time. It was almost an hour since she called Liu Jiaming.

With her eyebrows furrowed, Jiayi counted down the time as she drove through Kowloon to Yau Ma Tei. She held the steering wheel with her hands ready to turn sideways at any time.
