Chapter 013 The Thirteenth Melon
"Stop talking nonsense, I think you are a liar, come on, smash all her things for me!"
Chen Xingwang became flustered and angry, and stomped on the table several times.
The fellow disciples immediately surrounded Gu Xicao.
"What are you doing? What are you doing!"
Lin Jianyi couldn't wait any longer, so he blew a whistle, ran across the street with Sun Zhaogan, pointed at Chen Xingwang and others, and said, "You are causing trouble in the street, aren't you?!"
When Gu Xicao saw Lin Jianyi and the other man coming, his eyes lit up and he hid behind them, "Sir, they are here to cause trouble, arrest them quickly!"
"Catch us, what have we done? Sir, we are all good citizens, please don't accuse good people!"
When Chen Xingwang saw Lin Jianyi and the other man, a look of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down, crossed his arms across his chest, and looked disdainful.
The fellow apprentices were also very proud, "Yeah, didn't we just overturn the table by accident? Is this illegal? Do we need to go to jail? Hahaha."
Wang Laoshi kept winking at Gu Xicao, hinting Gu Xicao not to make a big deal out of it. Although he didn't know where these people came from, they looked like gangsters, and most people couldn't afford to offend them.
Sun Zhaogan whispered to Lin Jianyi, "Brother Yi, if you charge them with provoking trouble, the most they will get is 48 hours of detention."
Lin Jianyi frowned, a hint of hesitation showing on his face.
Seeing this situation, Chen Xingwang and others became more and more arrogant.
Chen Xingwang pointed at Gu Xicao and said, "Little sister, you're cheating people out of money by fortune-telling. Even if I catch you, I'll definitely have a good talk with you when I let you go!"
Gu Xicao narrowed her eyes and patted Lin Jianyi on the shoulder, "Brother Lin, cooperate with me later."
"Ah?" Lin Jianyi was confused, but he saw Gu Xicao took out a wad of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Chen Xingwang's hand in the blink of an eye.
Just when Chen Xingwang and the others were puzzled, Gu Xicao took a few steps back and hid behind Lin Jianyi, "Sir, they extorted 5,000 yuan from me. I want to call the police to arrest them. Do you accept it?"
Wang Laoshi on the side: ???
There is such a showy operation?!
"Of course I'll accept it. You're extorting public or private property, the amount is up to five thousand. You're so bold that you actually dared to commit a crime in the street. Put your hands on your heads, otherwise it will be considered as assaulting a police officer!"
Lin Jianyi's eyes lit up and he took out his pistol and pointed it at Chen Xingwang and the others.
Chen Xingwang and his group were all stunned.
Chen Xingwang wanted to resist, but just as he took a step forward, Lin Jianyi opened the safety of the wooden lock. "Put your hands on your head and squat on the ground, or I will open the wooden lock!"
Facing the dark wooden warehouse entrance, Chen Xingwang swallowed hard. He pointed at Gu Xicao and said, "You, you are so wild. I want to see what you can do to us!"
There were five or six grown men. Lin Jianyi directly called the headquarters to drive over and take them all away.
When he turned around to look for Gu Xicao, he saw that Gu Xicao had taken over Wang Laoshi's stall and was writing rapidly there.
Lin Jianyi knocked on the table and said, "Xiao Gu, you come with us and take the statement."
"That's easy to say, but Brother Lin, this is a great opportunity."
Gu Xicao put down his pen and looked at Lin Jianyi with sparkling eyes. "Those people are Master Bai's disciples. If you arrest them, you can find an excuse to investigate Master Bai."
"That's what I said, but it's not that easy." Sun Zhaogan came over and spread his hands and said, "I can tell at a glance that those friends are very tight-lipped. Besides, even if the crime of extortion is proven, at most they can find someone to take the blame, and the others can be released quickly."
"So I wrote down the crimes that each of them had committed."
Gu Xicao handed the notebook to Lin Jianyi: "Brother Lin, you are a smart person, you don't need me to teach you how to do it."
Lin Jianyi took the notebook, opened it and looked at it, his eyes showing surprise.
He raised his head and looked at Gu Xicao, then solemnly put away the notebook, "I understand. Don't worry, we will definitely catch all of these people in one fell swoop this time!"
In the Taoist temple.
Master Bai closed his eyes and smelled the faint scent of incense.
When he opened his eyes, he looked at the clock on the wall and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Master Bai couldn't help but frown and called out. The disciple outside pushed the door open and came in, "Master, what do you want me to do?"
"How long have Xingwang and the others been gone? Why haven't they come back yet?"
Master Bai felt uneasy.
The apprentice looked at his watch and said, "It's been three or four hours. I guess the senior brothers are done with their business and are going to pick up girls."
"That's impossible. I told them to come back as soon as they're done."
Master Bai frowned and was about to ask his apprentice to go out to find someone when he heard a noise outside. He hurried out with his apprentice, only to see Lin Jianyi leading a group of police officers rushing in.
"Sir, what are you doing here? We don't accept customers in the afternoon."
The young apprentice said unhappily.
Lin Jianyi took out the search warrant and said, "Bai Xiancheng, the police now suspect that you are involved in organizing a gang, spreading a cult, and are also related to several missing cases. Please cooperate with our search!"
Bai Xiancheng's face suddenly changed. He tried to act as if nothing had happened. "Officer, this is a Taoist temple. We can't possibly do these things. You are slandering us!"
"Really? If you are so sure of your innocence, then please move aside and let us search you thoroughly."
Lin Jianyi grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
It was 6:30 in the afternoon, which was rush hour.
Several main roads in Mong Kok were jammed with traffic.
A driver was honking his horn frantically when he saw a dozen vans speeding by. The driver couldn't help but stick his head out curiously: "Wow, these are TCB and TVB cars. What happened? Why are they driving so fast?"
Right now.
All the paparazzi in Hong Kong received the news that the Mong Kok Police Station had taken on a big case. A Taoist temple in Temple Street was raided and everyone from top to bottom was detained in the police station. In the temple, they actually found several female corpses and a number of fetal corpses.
As soon as the news came out, all the paparazzi were excited.
Hong Kong newspapers only care about sales and do not care about ethics. No matter how romantic or bloody the story is, as long as it can boost newspaper sales, even if it is a dismemberment case, there are people who dare to publish photos of the scene!
All of a sudden, all the paparazzi rushed to the Mong Kok police station.
"What do you think, Bai Xiancheng? Don't you want to explain?"
Chen Shazhan pulled out a chair and sat down next to Lin Jianyi.
Bai Xiancheng hadn't spoken a word since he was captured. When he looked up and saw that the person coming was Chen Shazhan, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
He coughed and stroked his gray beard. "I don't know what you are talking about. I only know that I was running the Taoist temple just fine, but you suddenly arrested me."
That's what I said.
But Bai Xiancheng's mind was not as calm as he appeared.
He realized that something was wrong when the police dug out the bodies. The bodies were buried in a Taoist temple, and only people in the temple knew about it. If no one told the police, it only meant that the police had been targeting them for a long time.
Bai Xiancheng was both annoyed and frightened. On the one hand, he suspected that it was his own people who betrayed him, and on the other hand, he was worried that it was those people in the police station who wanted to take advantage of the rich.
"Bai Xiancheng, you don't have to explain."
Chen Shazhan glanced at Lin Jianyi.
Lin Jianyi understood and tapped the table with his fingers. "But your disciples have already confessed a lot, such as what happened to those female corpses and the lucky beads. According to Hong Kong law, your actions are enough to send you to the electric chair, but the crimes of the principal offender and the accomplice are different."
When Bai Xiancheng heard the words "lucky beads", his expression changed.
He still insisted: "You want to scare me, I don't know what happened to those female corpses, and the same goes for the lucky beads!"
"Yes, but your apprentice said that you killed one of the female corpses yourself because she wanted to escape and you were afraid that the truth would be revealed, so you killed her. You also have scars left by her on your hands."
Lin Jianyi leaned forward and pulled open Bai Xiancheng's sleeve, revealing the marks on his left arm.
He laughed: "Bai Xiancheng, we are not asking for your confession now, we are giving you a chance. Your apprentice said that you are the main culprit, do you still want to say that you are innocent?"
"What?!"
Bai Xiancheng was already panicking when he heard about the female corpse, and he was sure that his disciples had betrayed him. When he heard his disciples say that he was the main culprit, he was even more shocked and angry. "I didn't kill anyone, they did. They were all tall and strong. I was forced. Police, I confess, I confess everything!"
In less than an hour.
Bai Xiancheng confessed everything he knew, including the lucky beads, kidnapping young girls, organizing a gang, and even bribing several police inspectors.
Chen Shazhan was very excited. After he finished his statement, he patted Lin Jianyi on the shoulder and said, "Jianyi, do your best. Don't worry about other things. I will take care of them."
Lin Jianyi said tactfully: "Yes, sir!"
He naturally knew that Chen Shazhan did not get along with the sergeants that Bai Xiancheng had just assigned. Chen Shazhan was parachuted in last year and was sidelined by other sergeants in the police station. However, he was able to tear off the fat piece of meat of the serious crime team, which showed that his methods and background were strong.
Sun Zhaogan brought a cup of coffee to Lin Jianyi and said, "Brother Yi, we are really rich this time. We have made such a great contribution that we can finally stop making PCs."
Lin Jianyi flicked Sun Zhaogan's forehead and said, "Does being a PC make you feel wronged? The case hasn't been settled yet, so don't be so arrogant."
"Sir, Sir, now there are rumors that you dug up more than a dozen female corpses in the Taoist temple. Is this true?"
Lin Jianyi and Sun Zhaogan had just finished their conversation when they saw a dozen reporters rushing in from outside, with microphones and cameras pointed directly at them.
Other people in the police station were also shocked and rushed over to help drive the reporters out. Since the case had not been fully investigated, no one dared to speak out.
Sun Zhaogan patted his chest and went to the men's restroom with Lin Jianyi, still feeling terrified: "How come these paparazzi are so well-informed? It's only been a short time since we caught the man."
There were always people in the police station who were in contact with the paparazzi, and many cases were exposed by insiders. Lin Jianyi was used to it, so he let it go and said to Sun Zhaogan: "Don't worry about it, just go and get the next confession."
Sun Zhaogan said, "I see. But Master Gu is really smart. When the prisoners heard the information she calculated, they were terrified and thought they were betrayed. This is the first time I have recorded a confession so easily in all the days I have been in this line of work."
"Xiao Gu is indeed good at this."
While washing his hands, Lin Jianyi said, "Didn't your girlfriend say she wanted to introduce someone else to Temple Street to have her fortune told?"
"Yeah, my girlfriend trusts her more than me now, and she even asked me to hand over my salary card."
Having said this, Sun Zhaogan looked depressed and went out with Lin Jianyi.
In the men's restroom cubicle, paparazzi Wang Mingqiang's dog poked its head out stealthily.
Fortune telling? Temple Street?!
