Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1393 Stanley Prison
After Han Li hung up the phone with Lawyer Jin, he changed his clothes and went out.

Han Li first came to the Repulse Bay Villa, changed out of his suit and gold-rimmed glasses for a denim T-shirt and sunglasses, then drove to the gate of Stanley Prison to meet Lawyer Jin.

Stanley Prison was built in 1937 and all death row prisoners before 1966 were imprisoned here.

At that time, Hong Kong followed the English practice that after the death row prisoners were executed, their bodies would be buried in a cemetery near Stanley Prison.

Their families do not have the right to take their bodies back for burial, and are not even allowed to enter the cemetery to pay their respects.

If relatives of prisoners want to claim the remains of their loved ones, they have to wait seven years. By then, only a pile of skeletons will be left. All unclaimed remains will be sent to the Shaling Public Cemetery in Luohu for burial.

(There are many rumors about why we have to wait seven years to collect the remains. Some say it is because of religious issues, and some even say it is related to how foreigners treat mummies.)

Stanley Prison is located at No. 99 Tau Wan Road. This is the first time Han Li has come to this representative place which has been mentioned in many Hong Kong gangster, police and criminal films and TV dramas.

Because Clearwater Bay is relatively close to Stanley, when Han Li arrived here, Lawyer Jin and his companions had not arrived yet.

Han Li has watched a lot of Hong Kong police and gangster films, and he is very curious about Stanley Prison.

Of course, Han Li had no interest in the situation of the prisoners held here.

No matter whether these people deserved their punishment or were sent to take the blame for someone else's crime, or even if they were raw pork, Han Li had no interest in understanding these things, because there were many things that could not be "quantified".

(Raw pork: in Cantonese, it is used to describe injustice or false accusation, describing the wronged person as being like pork waiting to be cut, just like fish on the chopping board or fish on the table.)
Han Li was curious about the layout of Stanley Prison and whether it was the same as in those police and gangster movies.

Are the prisoners pointed out and examined on certain parts of their bodies before entering? Do they live in multi-story cells with iron bars?

Are there any water and dining rooms, stainless steel toilets, rubber chairs, simulated gallows and death row cells here? If so, what do they look like?

However, all Han Li could see now was a high wall, several guard towers and a heavy blue iron gate about four or five meters high.

Lawyer Jin came over without making Han Li wait too long. As soon as he got out of the car, he kept apologizing. This attitude confused Han Li.

Lawyer Jin took out his ID and went to the door to negotiate, and soon Han Li followed him into the Stanley Prison.

Unfortunately, their route was fixed. After entering through the main gate, they were brought directly to a reception room by the prison guards. This situation left Han Li with no chance to satisfy his curiosity.

Han Li and Lawyer Jin waited here for a long time before a woman in her thirties and a lawyer hurried over.

After a while, two prison guards came to the other side with an elderly prisoner, followed by a lawyer holding a briefcase.

This elderly man is the actual owner of the land of the clothing company near N Jing Street in Dapu District.

As for the woman in her thirties, she is the old man's daughter-in-law and also the person who has half the authority over the garment company's equipment.

After the father-in-law and daughter-in-law met, neither of them paid attention to each other. However, the old man's grandson did not show up, which made the old man's expression much gloomier.

Lawyer Jin had already negotiated with both parties before, so the process was quick. After taking out the contract, he showed it to the other party's lawyer for inspection. If there were no problems, the parties could just sign it directly.

It can be said that Han Li still acted as a human signature machine this time. The lawyer flipped through the two contracts very quickly, and Han Li signed even faster.

Ten minutes later, the garment manufacturing company covering an area of ​​about half an acre of land located near N Jing Street in Dapu District, along with the equipment and land inside, all became Han Li's.

Of course, there are still some procedures to go through, but that is all Lawyer Jin’s responsibility, and the process will take only one or two days at most.

Moreover, after the three-party transfer contract is signed,
Han Li could immediately replace all the locks there and start planning the use of its internals so that it could perform its functions as soon as possible.

Next, after leaving Stanley Prison, Han Li and Lawyer Jin went directly to N Jing Street in Dapu District.

However, Han Li went directly to the clothing company that already belonged to him, and Lawyer Jin went to the nearby police station to register and file the documents.

First, there is a seal on the door from the police station after a murder, and the police station needs to issue relevant certification documents.

Second, it prevents someone from causing trouble or calling the police when they break the lock, thus causing unnecessary trouble.

Han Li drove his car to the door of the garment company, got out of the car, lit a cigarette and began to look at the factory carefully.

It hasn't been long since the murder occurred here, but there is already a desolate atmosphere here. Some weeds have grown on the open spaces on both sides of the door and in the yard as far as the eye can see.

After Han Li finished smoking, he walked around the factory before Lawyer Jin came over. Then they took out hammers, smashed the padlock and walked in.

There is nothing interesting to see on the first and second floors. The interior basically maintains its original appearance, though it looks a little dilapidated.

There were patches of dried blood on the third floor where the family lived. Han Li took a look and walked downstairs.

The raw material warehouse on the east side was empty. The original raw materials in it had long been sold by that person and exchanged for contraband.

To the west are the processing, quality inspection and packaging workshops, which also look deserted.

As a layman, Han Li had no idea what these machines were like or whether they could still be used.

The two men walked around inside, changed the padlock and left.

It was already time for dinner, so Han Li treated Lawyer Jin to a meal.

While eating, they talked about Knutsford Terrace. Lawyer Jin told Han Li the recent news in the newspapers and some of the situations after those people were sent to the hospital.

Han Li felt a little helpless after hearing the news. He felt that the limelight was too great and he didn't want to become a mysterious public figure.

Therefore, Han Li decided in his heart that next time he encountered such a situation, he must be more covert and diverse when taking action, so as to prevent others from associating this with him.

Han Li was thinking about these questions in his mind and did not notice that Lawyer Jin's eyes were shining when he said these words, and his tone was full of inexplicable meaning.

After dinner, Han Li separated from Lawyer Jin. As he drove back, he was still thinking about how to make this clothing company run.
