The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 707 Catch the murderer
Chen Zhengwei took the telegram and glanced over it.

One was from the United States. President James Garfield woke up after surgery and sent a telegram to express his gratitude, calling Chen Zhengwei his "most trustworthy" and "eternal" friend.

Although James Garfield didn't know that if it weren't for Chen Zhengwei, he would have died of wound infection and complications from multiple surgeries two months after being shot.

Until he died, the bullet in his body was never found.

However, the person who proposed the plan and found the warhead was the doctor sent by Chen Zhengwei.

And it only took one operation to find the bullet in his body.

This made him full of gratitude to Chen Zhengwei.

Another telegram was sent from Guangzhou, saying that the candidate had been found and was being sent to Hong Kong, which would take five days.

The most important person among them is the subordinate of the chief who assassinated the chief of the Council of State. He needs to be arrested and tortured.

Besides him, there were ten Malay natives, all of whom knew how to use guns. They thought they were here to transport a batch of goods.

After reading the telegram, Chen Zhengwei handed it to Li Xiwen and said, "Burn it."

The senior superintendent was then taken to a room upstairs.

Brandland had changed out of his uniform and was now wearing a gentleman's suit and a bowler hat, the brim of which covered most of his face.

As soon as he entered the room, he took off his hat and bowed slightly:
"Mr. Chen!"

"Tell me, what's the matter that makes you look for me so urgently?" Chen Zhengwei asked casually while sitting on the sofa beside him.

Brandland glanced at a skinny, big-headed teenager standing in the corner of the room. The teenager was looking at him curiously.

Then he retracted his gaze and said, "Mr. Chen, the aftermath has been basically dealt with! Including those witnesses!"

There have been several accidents recently, as well as homicides.

Several foreigners died at home or on the streets.

However, the police were busy investigating the club bombing and no one was investigating this matter.

Few people knew that these people were witnesses to the club bombing.

In fact, they were not listed in the police records at all, but were replaced by other witnesses.

"What we still need to do now is to catch the murderer. The Governor is urging us to do this! After all... Hong Kong is not very large, and we can't delay for too long!"

"Find a few Malays and kill them! Then tell your superiors that the others have escaped and you are tracking them down!"

"You can close the case in six days!" Chen Zhengwei said directly.

"I understand!" Brandland felt relieved after hearing this.

As long as you can arrange the people properly, that's enough.

As for finding a few Malays in Hong Kong as scapegoats, that is easy.

There are some immigrants from India, Malay and Siam in Hong Kong.

Listening to what the two said, Big Head's eyes widened slightly. He knew what they were talking about.

The most sensational case in Hong Kong recently is the case of the Foreigner Club.

In other words, this case was actually committed by Chen Zhengwei?
why?
Although he guessed it, he didn't ask anything. He knew that Chen Zhengwei didn't keep him around to ask questions.

You can only observe and figure it out slowly by yourself.

He also likes to think and guess on his own, and then verify whether his guesses are correct.

This is one of his little games.

After Brandland left, Chen Zhengwei took off the ring on his thumb, took out the gold ring inlaid with rubies from the box and put it on his hand.

The gem is like a flame, and Chen Zhengwei thinks it is good.

……

The next day, the two cruisers, the USS San Francisco and the USS Los Angeles, finally arrived in Hong Kong.

After leaving Tianjin, the two ships first went to Ryukyu.

The transport ship from San Francisco arrived in Ryukyu. The security company under Chen Zhengwei officially took over Ryukyu and stationed 300 people there.

At the same time, a new government was formed.

After the demise of Ryukyu, some Ryukyu officials fled to the Qing Dynasty, mostly in Fujian. After receiving the news, these people returned to Ryukyu and helped Chen Zhengwei's men quickly take control of the place.

The San Francisco and Los Angeles went to Ryukyu to replenish their ammunition before coming to Hong Kong.

"Mr. Governor, two more Chinese ships have arrived. They are the Los Angeles and San Francisco, two light cruisers, and they are requesting to stop at the port for supplies!"

"Got it! Allow them to enter the port!" The Governor of Hong Kong nodded and did not take it to heart.

There is no conflict between the two sides now, and it seems that the guy has no intention of causing trouble for the time being.

He is still troubled by the club bombing and doesn't want any more complications.

Chen Zhengwei received the news after getting up at noon.

"We're finally back! Let them rest here for a few days and prepare fresh water and food supplies. Once the murderer of the club case is caught, we will leave Hong Kong."

Chen Zhengwei has lost a lot of money these days because of those flops.

Although he is rich, it is not something that comes from the wind.

This is all hard-earned money.

He has to find a place to get the money back!
He has chosen the place.

Vietnam.

It’s not far from here, and it’s easy to bully. When something happens, it will only cry internationally.

Chen Zhengwei would feel guilty if he didn't extort money from them.

That evening, Senior Superintendent Brandland led a team of police officers to Yau Ma Tei.

This is a place where hemp cables are dried, ropes and tung oil are sold, and there are a large number of fishermen and sailors.

Some foreign immigrants also live here.

Several men as thin as bamboo poles walked out of the opium den, staggering, and were kicked aside by several policemen.

"Get away from here!" a policeman yelled while kicking.

"Don't pay any attention to them!" Brandland said. Soon, the group arrived at a two-story building, which was a spice shop with a faint light from oil lamps shining through the windows.

A policeman came over from the darkness not far away and whispered, "The people are inside! The three brothers are all here!"

"Surround them and don't let them run away!" Brandland ordered.

The men he brought with him checked the guns in their hands, looked at each other, kicked open the door and rushed in, shouting at the same time: "Don't move! Put down your guns! Put your guns down!"

Then there was a chaotic burst of gunfire!

The three Malays inside had no idea what was happening and were shot several times.

Then the two policemen pulled out another revolver from their waist and fired at the walls and stairs.

A few moments later, several policemen came out of the room: "Sir, they tried to resist and were shot dead. Several others ran away!"

"Go in and search to see if there is anything valuable!" Brandland ordered the remaining people around him.

The other few people walked in with smiles on their faces, knowing nothing about it.

There is a reason why they chose these Malays.

In the spice business, a lot of money comes in and goes out every day.

And those spices are also easy to sell.

They can all make a small fortune.

Half an hour later, several policemen came out of the store with satisfaction.

They only took away the valuable things in the store. As for the spices in the store, they will come back to seize them tomorrow and then dispose of them.

"Leave two people here to guard, maybe someone will come back!" Brandland said.

Even though everything is fake, the necessary procedures still have to be followed.

The group then found a carriage and took away the three bodies inside.

The next day, the police inspector came to the Governor's Mansion and handed in the report.

"We found the murderer! A gunfight broke out during the pursuit of the murderer yesterday, and three people were killed on the spot. Several others escaped, and the police officers from the police station are trying to catch them. I believe they will be found soon!"

"Malays? Are you sure it's them?" The Governor asked with a frown after reading the report in his hand.

"From the information we received, it was them. And they resisted with guns last night, there is no doubt about that! A police officer was injured in the gunfight!"

"I don't want to hear the news of them running away again. Moreover, they must be captured alive! I want to personally participate in the interrogation!" The governor put down the report in his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir!"

Three days later, a passenger ship slowly entered the port.

A thin Malay native, about thirty years old, looked at this strange city.

Lin Wenzhou was standing not far away, looking in another direction, where the Warrior, San Francisco and Los Angeles were docked.

"It's so majestic!" Lin Wenzhou looked at the warship in the distance with admiration, and felt an urge to control such a warship.

Fighting the wind and waves and sailing across the ocean is much more interesting than what he is doing now.

He had been interested in warships for a long time, but he had never had the opportunity before. Now he has the opportunity.

"We're in Hong Kong! Do you have any wishes?"

"You can't do it!" the Malay just said.

He hoped to drive the British out of Malay land, but this was destined to be impossible, and he was too lazy to say it.

It's worth it to sell my life for 1 British pound.

Lin Wenzhou shrugged his shoulders, took his men off the boat, had the Malay settled, and went to the hotel to meet Chen Zhengwei.

"Mr. Chen!" Lin Wenzhou looked at the muscular man on the sofa and bowed.

It was the first time for him to have such close contact with Chen Zhengwei. The other party was only one year older than him, but his achievements were beyond his reach.

While the other side was fighting in the United States, he was still living a life of luxury in Singapore.

"Did someone bring it?"

"I brought it and arranged it at the dock."

"Just confess if you are not tortured... After all, it is easy for a person to ask for death, but few can withstand torture!" Chen Zhengwei said.

This is what he has always believed.

"I have already put people under surveillance for his relatives and friends. If he can't bear the torture, his relatives and friends will die. He knows what to do!" Lin Wenzhou added:
"The British are their enemies! And we helped him!"

Chen Zhengwei nodded, it would be best if there were no problems.

He reached out and took a piece of paper from the henchman, glanced at it, and then threw the paper to Lin Wenzhou.

"He has half a day, let him memorize it."

……

Half a day later, another passenger ship sailed into the dock. It was not until the evening that the ten Malays were taken off the ship and left the port and settled in a house in Sham Shui Po.

More than an hour later, Brandland led a large group of police officers into Sham Shui Po and rushed into the house.

With a loud burst of gunfire, all ten murderers involved in the Hong Kong club bombing in the house were shot dead in the gunfight.

Only one murderer survived and was captured by Brandland and taken back to the police station.

When the Governor heard the news, he personally brought people to the police station to listen to the interrogation.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Chen Zhengwei getting off a carriage not far away.

"Mr. Chen, why are you here?"

"I heard that you caught the murderer? I fucking want to listen too! Don't worry, I'm just an observer and won't affect your interrogation!" Chen Zhengwei grinned.

"Mr. Chen is very well-informed!" The Governor gave him a deep look.

"After all, I am also a victim! Don't you think so?" Chen Zhengwei said playfully.

He thought the Governor had better pray that the man didn't say anything he shouldn't.

Even though the man knew nothing, as long as he said he had just arrived in Hong Kong today, the Governor would understand that it was a scam.
