Chapter 405 Number '3'
Precious antique solid wood furniture with beautiful patterns, but owning one is a joy, but the Hu family puts them everywhere.
Tea tables, chairs, sofas, dining tables, small tables for lamps, TV cabinets... all are made of antique solid wood with a simple and woody fragrance, which makes people happy.
If they were placed in her own home, Jiayi would probably not be willing to let them be exposed to the air like this. What if milk is accidentally spilled on them? She would probably use some ugly table covers to 'make up' them. Although it protects their safety, it also completely tarnishes their beauty and temperament.
But the furniture of the Hu family was all exposed in their original state, without covering or protection. No matter how expensive or beautiful the items were, they all played their original functions in this big villa. Tables were tables, chairs were chairs, and no one would put them away because they were antiques.
While Jiayi was looking at and admiring the furnishings around her, Mrs. Hu trotted back from the backyard. Before turning into the living room, she quickly tidied her makeup, smoothed her hair in front of her reflection in the glass vase, took a deep breath, and walked into the living room in a pretentious and graceful manner.
"Officer Yi!" No matter how Mrs. Hu pretended to be calm, she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes. Even the deliberately low tone still sounded a little high-pitched. "Your arrival really makes my humble home glorious."
The housekeeper turned his head in surprise and squinted at his wife who was not normal. He expressed his disapproval of her clumsy opening remarks with his high eyebrows.
Mrs. Hu also felt that she was a little artificial and her face flushed. Fortunately, Yi Jiayi smiled and responded to avoid Mrs. Hu's embarrassment:
"Hello, Mrs. Hu, where is Miss Hu Tianyue?"
"Here, I'll take you there." Mrs. Hu hurriedly strode forward, quietly waved her hand to send the housekeeper away, and suddenly stretched out her right hand. She had clearly met and talked before, but she still wanted to shake hands with Yi Jiayi.
"Ah." Although Jiayi's expression was not obvious, her eyes lingered on Mrs. Hu's face for a few more seconds.
Mrs. Hu shook Jiayi's hand as she wished, and then she walked up the stairs in front and led Yi Jiayi upstairs to Hu Tianyue's room.
The moment she turned her back to Yi Jiayi, Mrs. Hu's face was filled with a big smile of satisfaction and surprise, just like a beautiful female Bajie who had tasted the ginseng fruit...
Although Jiayi was walking behind Mrs. Hu, she could still see Mrs. Hu's expression through the reflection on the corner column of the spiral staircase.
She lowered her head and pursed her lips, and her liking for Mrs. Hu doubled - what a lovely lady.
At the suggestion of the police, Hu Tianyue's room was arranged on the second floor. The villa has 3 floors. The first floor is easy to be captured by kidnappers. The top floor can also be easily captured by kidnappers as long as they climb to the roof and jump down with a rope. Although the safety factor of the second floor is not much higher, it is better than the first and third floors.
Because the safety of Hu Tianyue was under alert and she was not allowed to come and go freely, she had to stay at home all day long like she was in prison, so Mr. Hu specially gave her the largest suite on the 2nd floor, which has a super large living room, a luxurious bathing bathroom, a nearly 3-meter-long bed, and an indoor bar with all kinds of drinks...
When Jiayi was invited into Hu Tianyue's room by Mrs. Hu, Miss Hu was sitting in the audio-visual room in the suite watching a movie. There were two PTU police officers guarding the door of the audio-visual room and the indoor window, plus two bodyguards at the door of the suite and three bodyguards patrolling around the villa. There was a 4-person PTU team and 5 bodyguards protecting Miss Hu alone.
After Jiayi recorded the personnel arrangements in a notebook, she asked Mrs. Hu for a walkie-talkie and headset. Jiayi talked to each person separately to confirm that the headset and walkie-talkie were all in good condition, and checked several wiretaps installed in the room.
Finally, Jiayi asked the housekeeper to move all the most advanced security closed-circuit television surveillance equipment that Mr. Hu bought from abroad to Hu Tianyue's suite, so that Jiayi could monitor the situation around the villa at any time - there were a total of 5 surveillance cameras, which were placed at the four corners of the villa, the door, and outside Hu Tianyue's window - the safety factor was very high.
Jiayi also asked the housekeeper to ask someone to move two extra-large whiteboards to Hu Tianyue's room, plus a set of toiletries, bedding, etc. for her to use.
After taking a quick look at the things in the room, Jiayi took a deep breath. She would be working here for a while, so she hoped to catch the kidnapper and lift the alarm soon.
After marking the security deployment of the villa and the terrain around the villa on the whiteboard, as well as the fixed locations of the reports and PTU members and the patrol routes, Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief.
After coming back to her senses, she turned around and saw Mrs. Hu standing behind her, staring at the words she wrote on the whiteboard. There was no mistaking her excited expression. It was like a fan personally participating in the work activities of her idol.
"Madam Yi!" Seeing that she had come back to her senses, Mrs. Hu handed her a cup of coffee personally, "From now on, Ah Yue's safety is in your hands!"
"I'll do my best." Jiayi took the coffee, "Thank you."
"Haha, you're welcome." Mrs. Hu stood there for a while before she realized the embarrassment. Although she didn't want to leave, it was also awkward facing Yi Jiayi like this. Finally, she said a few words to Yi Jiayi asking her to treat her as if she was at home, and then said goodbye and left.
Jiayi put down the marker and finally walked towards the audio-visual room. The movie inside was coming to an end. She pushed open the door, walked into the audio-visual room, stood in the light coming in from outside, and greeted Hu Tianyue:
"Hello, Ms. Hu Tianyue, I am Inspector Yi Jiayi of the Serious Crime Unit. I will be responsible for your safety for a period of time from now on."
...
Hu Tianyue is now 25 years old. After completing her studies abroad, she continued her studies for a period of time. At the same time, she also did a very systematic analysis and research on various industrial structures and business conditions in the UK. Now that she has some ideas, she returned to China to prepare to help the family business.
She was not very fond of Yi Jiayi at first. She thought that since the police had received a tip that someone was going to kidnap the children of the Hu family (especially her), she would hide at home for a while, digest the past knowledge, understand the local characteristics of Hong Kong, and wait until the kidnappers lost the ability to kidnap before going out. Unexpectedly, after discussing with her father and mother, they would invite a so-called female detective from Hong Kong to protect her.
Detectives are engaged in reconnaissance work, which is different from professional bodyguards who are particularly good at fighting and have the experience and professional knowledge to protect their targets after training.
But since her parents proposed it, Hu Tianyue was willing to cooperate actively to reassure her parents, but this did not mean that she had any sincere trust and admiration for Yi Jiayi.
So when Yi Jiayi greeted her politely and began to ask her whether she had any enemies before and after returning to China, Hu Tianyue was examining Yi Jiayi while answering.
I heard that her father promised the police force that as long as the Hu family was safe this time, he would donate a large sum of money to the police force, and at the same time give Yi Jiayi and several other police officers who participated in the protection mission a big red envelope.
Hu Tianyue thought that in order to be more justified when receiving the red envelope, Yi Jiayi should also try to show her presence in front of her, such as following her closely, or pretending to work hard and asking her a lot of questions and making unnecessary arrangements.
After Yi Jiayi asked more than a dozen questions and put away her notebook, Hu Tianyue rubbed her coffee cup with her fingers and began to guess what Yi Jiayi would do. Jiayi
did not follow her around all the time. Instead, she stood up and checked the surroundings. After seeing that the PTU members were working very hard, she nodded to Hu Tianyue and returned to the whiteboard.
Hu Tianyue was still sitting on the sofa waiting to watch Yi Jiayi's performance. She never expected that the other party would abandon her.
"Don't you need to make other preparations?" She asked in surprise.
Jiayi pulled off the cap of the marker with a snap, turned her head to look at Hu Tianyue, and left only one sentence, "As long as all security arrangements are fine and you are within my sight, Miss Hu can move freely in the house." Then she started to write on the whiteboard:
[1. There are 3 murderers in total;
2. What is the purpose of coming to Hong Kong? (Big deal, several million pounds)
3. Draw a picture of the murderer;
4. Is there a mainland criminal on the run? (Do you have experience?) Can you confirm the identities of the three people?
5. Do they have a gun?
5. Are there any local gangsters who contacted them? 】
Jiayi pinched her chin and stared at the second line of words on the whiteboard, her brows furrowed tightly.
Is it possible that there is a rich man in Hong Kong who wants to rob? It would be more troublesome to deal with local people, so they asked the poor and vicious "Hong Kong flag soldiers" from the mainland to do it for them?
A business worth several million pounds, so much money, if it is really robbed, then the person who was killed must be a person of very high status.
If the three murderers were allowed to succeed, there would be immeasurable consequences...
Wait, using pounds as the unit of measurement... Could it be that the people they want to kill are British?
There are many British people in Hong Kong who are of high status and wealth, and they are all people who cannot be provoked... If any one of them gets into trouble, the police force will be in trouble.
Jiayi's face became more and more gloomy, and she was almost completely frightened by her own speculation.
After a few moments of silence, her eyes moved up to the first line of words on the whiteboard [3 people].
3 people... 3 people...
In a flash, an old memory suddenly emerged, inlaid with golden and blue light of lightning, and Jiayi grabbed it.
She turned her head suddenly, and her eyes shot at Hu Tianyue who was sitting on the sofa like a sharp blade.
Hu Tianyue was originally staring at Yi Jiayi at work, trying to guess what she was writing on the whiteboard. At the same time, she was curiously observing Yi Jiayi's changing expressions, analyzing the cold and solemn temperament that was incompatible with young people but particularly suitable for the young Yi Jiayi... Suddenly being stared at by Yi Jiayi, Hu Tianyue was so frightened that her breath was choked. She unconsciously sat up straight and behaved like a student being stared at by the teacher in class.
What's going on?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Hu Tianyue choked nervously, and when the mobile phone in Yi Jiayi's trouser pocket suddenly rang, she was startled.
Jiayi was hesitant to speak, and finally answered the phone first.
Tan Sanfu's voice came from the opposite side:
"Eleventh sister, the forensic investigation has been completed. We have collected many fingerprints and footprints. For the time being, we can only confirm that there are three murderers. We will do a comparison in the fingerprint database later. I will report to you immediately after the results are out.
"The forensic officer has begun to perform an autopsy on the victim. A large amount of semen was found in her body. It has been sent for DNA testing. It is temporarily suspected that the three murderers may have had sexual intercourse with the female victim. We discussed it a few times and suspected that the price of sex-trading was not agreed upon, which led to the disagreement and ultimately the tragedy...
"...In addition, the artist has talked to the old watchman, and the old man's memory is too poor to clearly describe the appearance of the three people. He didn't even remember the appearance of the only suspect who walked to the counter and left a note."
Jiayi briefly recorded the information reported by Sanfu on the whiteboard, and responded with a "hmm" from time to time.
After Sanfu finished speaking, Jiayi stared at the whiteboard hesitantly, thinking about how to advance the detection and arrest work.
The police have received too little information now. The suspicion about the murderer that Sanfu led the team to discuss was just that 'the price was not negotiated'. Even the motive for the crime was biased. It was even more impossible for them to know that the three murderers had committed unknown major crimes in addition to killing people...
The marker drew two lines under the [portrait], and Jiayi said:
"Do you remember that I told you before that there was a wiretap indicating that three mainlanders appeared in Hong Kong and wanted to kidnap Mr. Hu Dehai's children?"
"Remember, how - three mainlanders?" Sanfu's tone suddenly became higher.
"You also think this number is too coincidental?" Jiayi tapped the number [3] that appeared repeatedly on the whiteboard. "This is a bold guess, and we need to verify it next. Contact Hei Pilong and ask him to bring an informant who has seen the three mainlanders to assist the artist in drawing the portrait. At the same time, contact Mr. Huang and ask him to help you find the Intelligence Department and ask the police officers who have tracked the three mainlanders to cooperate with the artist in drawing the portrait.
"Then take the two sets of portraits to find Mr. Geng to identify them and see if these three mainlanders are the same three people as the three mainlanders in our case. "
Although the colleagues in the Intelligence Department lost the mainland boy, they had been following him for so long, and the intelligence officers were very good at remembering people's characteristics, so they must have been able to make a very similar portrait.
If these three murderers are the three mainland boys who wanted to kidnap Hu Dehai's children, does that mean the "big thing" mentioned by the three murderers is "kidnapping Hu Dehai's children"? Is the "several million pounds business" they mentioned the amount of money they were going to extort from Hu Dehai after the kidnapping?
But why do they count in pounds? Are most of Hu Dehai's assets in pounds? What
is this money going to be used for after the kidnapping ? Blackmail? Or someone is targeting one of Hu Dehai's children for the life? Or is it simply money to kill Hu Tianyue?
Jiayi had just asked Hu Tianyue if she had any enemies, whether domestic or foreign, and Hu Tianyue's answer was "no".
Moreover, although Hu Tianyue is the daughter of the Hu family, judging from the past market conditions, it would be too high to buy the life of Hu Tianyue or any of the daughters of the Hu family for several million pounds.
Human life is of course priceless, but the price of buying a murderer has not reached that high. You know, many murderers with poor brains are willing to kill people for tens of thousands of dollars...
"I understand, Eleventh Sister, I know what to do. "Sanfu's eyes lit up and he said loudly unconsciously.
"OK, don't make any decisions about the murderer's motive for the time being. Collect more evidence and investigate the victim more thoroughly first." Jiayi reminded.
"I understand how the three mainlanders knew that there was a dead person in this building. This is very suspicious. I will try my best to investigate." Sanfu said seriously.
"Okay, Sanfu, keep going. I'll wait for your good news." Jiayi nodded.
"Yes, madam." Sanfu said, and said goodbye to Jiayi before hanging up the phone.
Jiayi took a deep breath and put away the mobile phone while thinking about the questions just now. Because she was immersed in a brainstorm, she even forgot that she was staring at Hu Tianyue sharply before answering the phone.
Hu Tianyue, who was nervous just now, had relaxed at this moment.
She tilted her head and looked at Yi Jiayi, who was facing the whiteboard and writing attentively again. The previous scrutiny of Yi Jiayi disappeared, and there was a lot of curiosity about the strong in her eyes when she looked at Officer Yi.
The way a person concentrates on work is enough to charm all the children who admire the strong.
Hu Tianyue's eyes swept over a facial mask on the table. She pursed her lips, followed her impulse to make friends with Yi Jiayi, and took out another facial mask from the drawer.
How to invite Officer Yi Jiayi to go to the audio-visual room to listen to music and apply a facial mask? I don’t know what the case that Officer Yi is handling is like, and when will she be done?
The author has something to say:
[Mini Theater]
Sanfu: What should I do if the old man who is watching the night watch fails to help the painter draw the portrait of the suspect? Sanfu
: It doesn’t matter, Sister Eleven will tell me the answer.
