Chapter 394 [End of this volume] Important informants are very important

A robbery occurred, and the victim was seriously injured and admitted to the ICU. At that time, surveillance video was not yet popular, and the robbery process could only be pieced together based on the oral statements of eyewitnesses.

Without flow imaging, the only way to catch the culprit was to investigate bit by bit.

So when Sir Wong and the Public Relations Department asked Yi Jiayi how long it would take to solve the case, Jiayi's answer this time was very conservative:

"Based on the investigation time of such cases in the past, it will probably be within 3 months."

Superintendent Wong and Inspector Guo were a little surprised by Jiayi's low-key answer this time, but they also gave respect and support and did not comment too much.

Although Jiayi's investigation pace was fast, the detectives also worked overtime and worked very hard. But with the robbery chain and the murderer working together to hide the truth, she had no choice but to compete with them in endurance while trying to find new clues and clues. When

she received a call from Zhong Dazhi, Jiayi was still a little confused as to why the former boss contacted her.

Could it be that Zhong Dazhi, as a father, found out that Miss Zhong Chuanjie and Manniu were secretly dating in Yiji, and he wanted to punish them, hoping that the Yi family would stand on Mr. Zhong's side?

That was too much. As an outsider, how could she care about who Miss Zhong dated?

She was a police officer, not a dean of teaching.

So after answering the phone, she clenched her teeth and acted very politely, ready to answer "I don't know him well", "I can't control him" and "I can't get involved" whenever Mr. Chung mentioned Chung Chuen Kit.

But she didn't expect that when Chung Tai-Chi got back to the point, he mentioned the robbery and wounding case she was investigating:

"Madam Yi, I heard from the kids that you are investigating a robbery of a second-hand luxury goods store, and you have also visited several grocery stores in Sham Shui Po to question them?"

"..." Jiayi thought for a moment. The interview work was not a secret, and the robbery and wounding case had already been published in the newspaper. There was nothing that could not be disclosed in the topic mentioned by Mr. Chung, so she responded:

"Yes, what is it, Mr. Chung?"

She spoke with caution, unsure of why Chung Tai-Chi mentioned this case.

If he felt that the police's investigation in Sham Shui Po was an offense to him, the former boss who once controlled this area, then she could only handle the matter in a businesslike manner and speak to Mr. Chung in a cold tone.

"Don't worry, Madam. I'm calling you with good intentions." Chung Dazhi noticed the tension in her voice and chuckled, "I still owe you a favor. Since your case has been investigated in this area, I happen to have some connections and contacts nearby. Haha, how about this? I'll take care of it. I'll find this person for you within 3 days."

"...Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Chung, but..." Jiayi frowned slightly, worried that Chung Dazhi was doing something wrong.

"Madam, I am also doing normal business now, and I will definitely not break the law. I will call you within 3 days." Zhong Dazhi said goodbye and hung up the phone without waiting for Jiayi to ask.

Jiayi called back, and the person who answered the phone became Zhong Chuanjie. The eldest lady personally assured Jiayi that she would keep an eye on her father and report to Jiayi at any time on the progress of their spies. Jiayi was relieved.

After hanging up the phone, Jiayi stood in front of the whiteboard for a while, and then she couldn't help thinking:

Most of the informants of other police officers are idle people in society, but she is different. Her informant is a former gang leader...

...

When Zhong Dazhi called Yi Jiayi, Hei Pilong was standing by.

As soon as Mr. Zhong hung up the phone, Hei Pilong immediately stepped forward and asked to do this personally.

Although Zhong Dazhi cleaned up his name and started working a legitimate job many years ago, he still controls 60% of the bars and nightclubs in his former territory. His influence is still there, so it is not difficult for him to do something.

There is a strong information barrier between each group. What everyone in one group doesn't know may be known to everyone in another group.

Hei Pilong helps some vagrants find jobs all year round. Many people come to Hei Pilong when they are short of money. As long as it doesn't involve pornography, gambling, or drugs, he will lend them money when he is in a good mood.

Therefore, although others have followed Zhong Dazhi into the business circle, the brotherhood of the past has been integrated into his bones and it is difficult to remove it for a while. Relying on Zhong Dazhi's power, Hei Pilong can always help the young people who are short of money to find some jobs such as security, watchman, and transportation. Therefore, even if he has long stopped doing social group trading, Hei Pilong's face is still very valuable.

Now he wants to investigate something in the Sham Shui Po area, and a lot of people willing to help him appear in the blink of an eye.

Just two hours after preparing to investigate, more than a dozen younger brothers gathered in Hei Pilong's rental house. Everyone understood the situation and immediately analyzed who around them might do such a robbery and injury.

Who is short of money, who has the courage, and who is not doing the job well and is likely to hurt people halfway.

You and I talked back and forth, and the clues were mixed up, and then Hei Pilong sorted them out. When the gossip conversation got to a certain point, he sent someone out to call someone who knew the inside story to come over and fill in the missing information.

When it was dinner time, Hei Pilong called his younger brother to go out and buy wine, roast meat, peanuts, etc. Some of the group sat on the sofa, and some just sat on the floor, still discussing heatedly -

the hairless man finished his information, drank two glasses of wine, and staggered away. After a while, another guy with a ponytail came and continued to talk about other people.

At around 8 or 9 o'clock when it got dark, Hei Pilong thought about what everyone said and finally focused his attention on a man called "Lao Zi Gang" -

this guy had recently become addicted to drugs and spent all his savings. He couldn't borrow money from anywhere and spent all day thinking about how to make more money.

His friends said that two days ago, the dog-skin plaster-like Lao Zi Gang suddenly stopped asking them for money.

That was when the robbery and assault happened.

Another clue is that two days ago, someone saw the scumbag in Fatty's grocery store, chatting with Uncle Fatty for a long time, and left a big black bag in the grocery store. The scumbags who have lived here for a long time know that Uncle Fatty has been secretly helping people sell stolen goods.

So the black bag is likely to contain stolen goods.

Hei Pilong immediately found a small boss he had helped before and asked him to go to Fatty's grocery store to buy a famous watch, saying that it was introduced by Dai Siyan.

Half an hour later, the Rolex bought by the small boss was in Hei Pilong's hands.

Hei Pilong immediately brought six of his brothers to block the door of Fatty's grocery store, put a Rolex in front of Fatty, and said with a half-smile:

"Uncle Fatty, what's wrong with this watch?"

"This..." Uncle Fat looked around at the rascals blocking the narrow aisle of his shop, and opened his mouth to say that he had picked it up, but his eyes could not help but fall on Hei Pilong's sandbag-sized fist... ...

...

20

minutes later, Uncle Fat, the Rolex, and a black plastic bag full of stolen goods were taken to Yau Ma Tei Police Station by Hei Pilong's roommate, Huang Mao, and two other brothers, and were specifically handed over to Yi Jiayi.

Yi Jiayi received a call from the police station and immediately rushed there as fast as possible. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Uncle Fat who "voluntarily surrendered" and Huang Mao and his friends who "accompanied" Uncle Fat.

"Thank you." Jiayi hurriedly arranged for the police on duty to register, and then turned around to thank Huang Mao and his friends.

The yellow-haired man waved his hands in embarrassment. He had been bullied and glared at by the police many times, but he had never been thanked by the police like this.

...

When Tan Sanfu, who was called by Yi Jiayi, walked up the steps of the police station, he happened to pass by the yellow-haired man and his men who were leaving.

He turned back to glance at the yellow-haired man and his men, and ran into the police station to see Yi Jiayi escorting Fatty Uncle to the interrogation room.

"What's going on?" Tan Sanfu raised his eyebrows.

"I came to turn myself in and help the robbers get rid of the stolen goods." Jiayi handed the things in her other hand to Tan Sanfu: "An enthusiastic citizen reported it, and the person and the stolen goods were captured."

"?" Tan Sanfu turned his head and glanced at Fatty Uncle with a bitter face. Is this... true? Is there such a good thing? Just as

the three of them were about to turn around the corridor, the police officer on duty called out from behind: "Madam Yi, someone is here to report a crime to you again!"

Jiayi turned around and saw several tall and thin young men standing at the door of the police station. The one in the lead looked very familiar to her. He was Liu Ziliang, the black-skinned dragon who had once stood with Manniu on the left and right of Zhong Dazhi.

"Take him to take a statement." Jiayi nodded to Tan Sanfu and turned back to Hei Pilong.

"Madam Yi!" Hei Pilong smiled and nodded at her. When she approached, he stretched out his hand and pulled a limp man in front of Yi Jiayi.

The man was huddled up, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he looked itchy and uncomfortable.

"Madam, this is the murderer of the robbery and assault case. What's his name? We all call him Lazi Gang. Uncle Fatty said that those stolen goods were sold to him by Lazi Gang. You can ask him." Hei Pilong kicked Lazi Gang on the butt. Lazi Gang, who was already trembling all over, almost knelt in front of Yi Jiayi.

"What's wrong with his face?" Jiayi looked down and saw that there were several purple and broken skin on Lazi Gang's face.

"We didn't beat him! He was addicted. We were in a hurry on the road, and he fell down." Hei Pilong raised his hands to show his innocence.

Jiayi nodded, asked the police on duty to register, thanked Hei Pilong again, and then took Lazi Gang to the interrogation room.

…

Within an hour, Fatty and Lazi Gang confessed their crimes one after another.

Lazi Gang was indeed so short of money because of his drug addiction. He accidentally had the idea of ​​robbing, and was afraid that he would not have the money to buy that thing, so he suddenly decided to rob the second-hand luxury store.

He originally did not want to hurt anyone, but the store owner thought he was a good hand and insisted on fighting with him, so he used a knife to hurt people.

That night, Yi Jiayi took Lazi Gang to look for the weapon he had thrown away, and contacted the sewer workers. It took 5 hours to find the dagger in the sewer pipe in the street area in front of Lazi Gang's residence.

After going to work the next day, Jiayi asked colleagues from the Forensic Department to collect the footprints and fingerprints of Lazy Gang, and took a photo of him to show to the victim who had already woken up.

After that, she applied for a search warrant and asked colleagues from the Forensic Department to conduct an in-depth investigation at Lazy Gang and Fatty Grocery Store to collect more evidence. Only then did they include the confessions of Fatty Uncle and Lazy Gang in the evidence file.

Four days later, all the evidence, including the test results, footprint comparison results, and the victim's confession, was collected. Team B compiled the case reconstruction report, etc., and finally submitted the case to the Department of Justice.

At this time, Yi Jiayi called Zhong Dazhi to thank him for his help.

"Madam, in the past, street slickers were most afraid of having anything to do with the police.

"But times are different now, and everyone is doing legitimate business, so of course they all hope for a good security environment.

"Now, I am the one who most hopes that this area will be peaceful and tranquil.

"If anyone wants to disrupt the security here, so that customers dare not come here to have fun and businesses dare not open stores here, it will be very detrimental to us businessmen.

"This cooperation is a breakthrough in which first-class good citizens actively cooperate with the police to solve the case."

Zhong Dazhi smiled on the phone, and said:

"I will buy another banner and send it to you later.

"I recently invested in a building in Sham Shui Po, and I will need to attract investors in the future.

"We should thank police officers like Madam for their diligence in protecting the personal and property safety of citizens!"

"Mr. Zhong, you're welcome. This is the duty of the police." Yi Jiayi said modestly.

"If there is anything difficult to investigate near Portland Street in the future, just call me and I will definitely help." Zhong Dazhi shook the teapot, put it to his nose and sniffed it, sighed with satisfaction, and then continued leisurely on the phone:

"If we want to build a good environment in Hong Kong, we must have cooperation between the police and the public. My people are all Madam's informants.

"Haha, I'm just returning a favor to you, Officer Yi. Come out for tea when you are free."

...

In the morning, after entering the office and lighting sandalwood incense, Inspector Huang took several piles of documents on the table and read the top one while thinking that Yi Jiayi would need to communicate with many informants during this investigation. He wondered if she had enough informants.

The Hong Kong Police Force had limited reimbursement for appeasing informants. After all, Yi Jiayi was a young inspector who had only been a police officer for a few years. Unlike the old policemen like Fang Zhenyue, she had not yet cultivated a large number of informants and only needed to maintain them steadily. That's good.

It must have been very expensive for Yi Jiayi to accumulate informant resources in the early stage.

Why not use this case to approve more budgets for Yi Jiayi to appease informants and let her raise more informants for future use...

As he thought, he turned over the first ordinary report file and looked at the second one -

huh?

After staring at the title of the second file for a while, Superintendent Huang suddenly shook his head and laughed.

Worrying about Yi Jiayi is sometimes really a redundant thing.

This report was submitted by Public Relations Division’s Guo Yongyao. It stated the direction of the Public Relations Division team’s report on Yi Jiayi’s investigation of the “robbery and assault case” -

“Police officer Yi Jiayi and dozens of enthusiastic citizens in Sham Shui Po jointly solved the case”

“Entrepreneur Mr. Zhong presented a banner to the police force to thank the police force for maintaining law and order in Mong Kok and solving another major case”.

Below it were the key points of the report:

1. Enthusiastic citizens in Sham Shui Po actively helped the police force to provide important clues, and the police and the public worked together to solve the case quickly;

2. The conscientious businessman cooperated with the police force to find the suspect...

When Superintendent Huang saw Zhong Dazhi’s name, he knew the general situation of the matter.

Turning to the back of this pile of documents, he found the case report submitted by CID-B team. In the investigation segment, seeing Zhong Dazhi and Hei Pilong and others trying their best to assist in providing clues, finding the suspect and evidence, etc., Huang Sir raised the corners of his lips again.

Where does Yi Jiayi lack informants? !

Other police officers look for informants, and they have to ask, invite, and use both kindness and force to maintain them, and they can only be used. As

for her... it was the boss who brought the "informant team" and "informant company" to help on his own initiative.

Rubbing his nose, Superintendent Huang pointed at the table and took a deep breath of sandalwood. He couldn't help but think:

It was agreed that the case would be solved within 3 months, but in the end, Yi Jiayi solved it within a week...

Tsk!

Tsk tsk tsk!

The author has something to say:

[Small Theater]

On the night of the case, because the case had been deciphered, Yi Jiayi told Fang Zhenyue that the bad boy had just robbed and injured people because he was addicted to drugs.

So, a good date turned into a work meeting.

The next morning, Fang Zhenyue transferred the bad boy to a drug trafficking chain. A week later, he found out the relationship between him and a drug trafficking chain. The deployment of drug arrest work was gradually improved...
