Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 352 Police Modify Guns
"What was the motive for the murder?"

"There's always a reason for murder. Maybe it's a crime of passion or revenge, or perhaps his girlfriend cheated on him, haha."

Outside the interrogation room, the police officers were eating takeout and chatting in the middle of their day.

Police officer Miao Zhishun kept a close eye on Ali, who was inside the house.

He was recalling his conversation with Ali inside.

Ali said.

"Killing can really be addictive."

This reminded him of his colleague who died three years ago due to a debt crisis and inability to repay his debts. If it had been him who fired that shot instead of Ali.

So is it completely different now?

"Boss, even if we know he killed the person, we don't have enough evidence to prosecute him. He has to be released in 48 hours, otherwise I'm scared."

"I don't believe he's really that clean; there will always be some clues left behind in what he does."

"Yes"

Miao Zhishun's men all went out to look for clues, while Miao Zhishun went into the interrogation room alone to talk to Ali.

"Ali, I know you did this. Can you give me a reason?"

Ali remained expressionless and did not answer the question. Miao Zhishun had no choice but to leave the interrogation room.

Half an hour later, all the colleagues who had gone out returned.

This time, they also brought a short-haired woman.

The woman was pushed into the interrogation room, and Ali, who saw her passing by in the corridor, suddenly stood up.

With her eyes wide open in anger, A-Lian met Ali's gaze. It was a very complex look in her eyes, a mixture of heartache, fear, and various other emotions.

In the interrogation room on the other side
“We already know that your boyfriend did it. If you confess everything now and become a witness for the prosecution, you'll have an easier time. If we find out, you know the consequences.”

“Officer, I have no idea what you’re talking about. If you think my boyfriend has broken the law and you have evidence, then you should prosecute him. What’s the point of you telling me this?”

When questioned by the police, Ah Lian was very unhappy. In fact, she knew what her boyfriend was doing and that he had been suffering a lot. She had even thought about killing him to relieve his suffering.

But in the end, he couldn't bring himself to do it, not because he was afraid, but because he couldn't bear to.

How could someone who dares to kill even a few police officers possibly slip up in front of her?

"Fine, you won't tell, huh?"

The police shone a lamp on Ah Lian's face without moving it, and began a teasing question-and-answer session.

"What's your name?"

Why are there so many air guns in the house?

What does the job entail?

Outside the interrogation room
The policeman was carrying a large box.

Miao Zhishun kicked him.

"what are these?"

"These air guns were all found in Ali's house. This kid has a lot of guns, and every single one of them is modified differently."

Miao Zhishun also picked it up to look at it. He was also a member of the club and a champion in the competition, so he was very familiar with these air guns.

No one noticed that one person picked up the gun but didn't put it back; instead, he quietly stuffed it into his clothes.

This is the person who led the team to search Ali's house for guns.

"Azu, how many guns are here?"

The man who was suddenly called over was a little nervous. His eyes darted around for a moment, and he also reported the gun he had taken.

"27"

"Okay, put them all away. There are so many. The evidence department staff have already gone home. Give them the guns tomorrow; we're off work too." Another day passed, and the police still hadn't found any evidence.

According to regulations, Ali should be released.

Miao Zhishun came to take Ali out. Ali, who had already guessed this outcome, let out a sneer the moment Miao Zhishun opened the detention cell door.

"So, can I leave now?"

Miao Zhishun's eyes were filled with anger.

"Don't be too smug. Don't think you're safe just because you're out. I will definitely find evidence."

After saying that, Miao Zhishun waved his hand and told someone to take Ali out.

Just one minute after the police officers took Ali away, several of his comrades ran over, looking excited.

"Boss, good news!"

"The comrades in the government affairs department detected that one of the guns brought back yesterday had a capacity of more than 2 joules. Yesterday, Golian blocked all the guns with her body. We can go and arrest her now."

(In the original plot, the police exploited a loophole by using steel balls to detect illegal firearms, thus rendering legal firearms illegal. The author made a slight change for the sake of the plot; it's not that I didn't read the original work and my memory is playing tricks on me.)
Upon hearing the news, Miao Zhishun was instantly excited and led his brothers out in a flurry of activity.

Outside in the corridor at this moment.

A policeman suddenly rushed over, pushed Ali to the ground, and then punched and kicked him. Fortunately, there were other people nearby who stopped the policeman.

It's quite surreal that a police officer would beat up a suspect without any evidence against him.

If this kind of thing is reported to the complaints department, it is generally considered a very serious matter.

He could be dismissed at any time.

Just as the police officers were pulling the people apart, a gangster who was also waiting for someone in the corridor next door suddenly started making a fuss.

"They're hitting people! The police are hitting people!"

Upon hearing this sound, the police officers panicked.
"you shut up."

"You police officers beat people and we can't say anything? Do you want to beat me too? Come on, I'm standing right here for you to beat me."

The gangsters weren't afraid at all; instead, they kept approaching the police, refusing to shut up no matter how much the police shouted at them.

"I'm here to wait for someone. You dare touch me?"

“I saw you hitting people just now. You wait, I’m definitely going to the complaints department to file a complaint against you.”

At this moment, Miao Zhishun, who had rushed over, was also at a loss due to the chaotic situation.

But as things escalated, he roared:
"Get them out of here now."

Several police officers covered the thug's mouth and dragged him out.

Miao Zhishun walked up to Ali with a sly grin on his face.

"Mr. Peng, according to the investigation, you have no connection with this case. However, Ms. Ge Lian, whom you are waiting for, is now suspected of illegal possession of firearms. We have formally arrested her. You wanted to leave, right? You can leave now."

“All my guns are compliant; don’t try to frame her by altering my guns.”

Miao Zhishun's expression changed.

"What do you mean? I believe my guy wouldn't do such a thing."

Upon hearing this, Ali's anger surged instantly, his eyes became increasingly bloodshot, and a voice in his heart seemed to be telling him: kill, kill, kill all these people.

Ali was trying his best to control his emotions. He wasn't in a good mental state to begin with, and he knew that his gun couldn't possibly be illegal.

Someone must have secretly modified his gun to frame Gorlin.

He never expected these police officers to be so despicable and unscrupulous, capable of doing something like this.

Ali was furious, turned around and left, leaving behind a single sentence.

"You will regret it."
