Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

Chapter 337 Another Theft
"This pendant can be bought anywhere." Zhang Tai's wife was still stubborn.

"Do you want me to ask Aunt Rong to come and see it?" Shen Xiong said bluntly.

Zhang Tai's wife no longer lived in Bengbu. She said, "Ahui gave it to me as a courtesy before she left."

"You said you weren't familiar with her, so why would she give you the tiger her mother gave her to ward off evil spirits?"

"Did you steal or rob? Tell me now."

Liang Xiaorou and Shen Xiong spoke in unison.

"Why? She has no money to pay the rent, so she uses this thing as collateral." Zhang Tai's wife said.

"She has to pay you rent, so she not only eats at your house, but also lives there?"

When asked this by Liang Xiaorou, Zhang Tai and his wife knew they could no longer hide the truth and had to tell the truth.

She then told Liang Xiaorou that Rong Hui had lived in his house.

However, Zhang Tai’s wife’s tone was still unfriendly, and she even spoke of Rong Hui with disdain.

Upon hearing the tone of their voices, Liang Xiaorou directly told them that Rong Hui was dead, and suspected that they were related to Rong Hui's death.

Zhang Tai and his wife were terrified. Zhang Tai stared at his wife and blurted out, "Wife, were you too forceful that time?"

"What did you say? It was just a small argument, a collision, not a very strong one, how could he die?"

Zhang Tai’s wife pushed Zhang Tai hard. This was a murder case and she couldn’t take the blame. She hurriedly explained to Liang Xiaorou.

Seeing this, Liang Xiaorou knew that if she continued to ask, the two would not confess honestly. She turned to Shen Xiong and said, "Apply for a search warrant and notify the Forensic Department. We want to go to Mr. and Mrs. Zhang's house to take a look."

"I know." Shen Xiong nodded.

Not long after, after obtaining a search warrant, Shen Xiong brought forensic officers Mo Shuyuan and Lin Tingting to Zhang Tai's home.

After the search, many of Rong Hui's things were found, as well as some hair and blood.

The forensic personnel conducted hair and blood tests overnight, and then gave the report to Liang Xiaorou early the next morning.

After reading the report, Liang Xiaorou immediately ordered Zhang Tai and Zhang Tai's wife to be interrogated separately.

It’s still the original interrogation room.

But this time the only person being interrogated was Zhang Tai's wife, while Zhang Tai was in another interrogation room.

"According to forensic testing, the hair found in your home was confirmed to be Rong Hui's, which means Rong Hui once lived in your home."

After hearing Liang Xiaorou's words, Zhang Tai's wife was still trying to argue: "If she found the hair loss, it must be hers? It can't be mine?"

Seeing that the other party refused to admit it, Liang Xiaorou showed contempt in her eyes and said lightly: "Mrs. Zhang, the children's DNA is half from the father and half from the mother. As for the hair found in your house..."

Liang Xiaorou helped Zhang Tai's wife learn about DNA, and finally taunted her, "Then tell me, are you Aunt Rong's daughter?"

Zhang Tai’s wife opened her mouth. She still had to have some dignity. After all, she was only a few years older than Aunt Rong.

Another interrogation room.

Shen Xiong and Ling Xinyi interrogate Zhang Tai.

"We found guitar strings on Rong Hui's body. Coincidentally, you also have a guitar at home," Shen Xiong asked loudly.

"Sir, that guitar belongs to my son. He went to work as a chef in Eagle Sauce, so he left it at home and it's been gathering dust."

This is a crime of murder, so of course Zhang Tai has to clear himself of it immediately.

"Why does your guitar have no strings?" Shen Xiong asked Zhang Tai.

"He has stopped playing, and I am not going to change the strings for him!"

Liang Xiaorou interrogated Zhang Tai and his wife separately to prevent them from having any chance to collude with each other and find a breakthrough. Under the relentless pressure of Liang Xiaorou and Shen Xiong, Zhang Tai and his wife were unable to keep their words firm and were eventually pried open.

Explained the things related to Rong Hui.

According to Zhang Tai and his wife, Rong Hui was indeed living with them.

However, Zhang Tai’s wife couldn’t stand Rong Hui and thought that she was wearing cool clothes to seduce her husband, so she started arguing with Rong Hui and even slapped her a few times. Then Rong Hui left.

Zhang Tai and his wife admitted to beating Rong Hui, but did not admit to killing her. Seeing this, Liang Xiaorou had no choice but to accept their statement in the absence of any substantial evidence.

However, Liang Xiaorou still suspected that they had killed Rong Hui and temporarily detained them in the police station.

At this point in the case, the entire clue seemed to be broken.

Liang Xiaorou could only wait for the forensic department to see if they could find any other clues.

While Liang Xiaorou was busy investigating the skeleton case, Li Fei encountered another theft case.

It was similar to previous thefts, a burglary that was carried out very quickly, leaving no traces behind. If the homeowner had not noticed that something was missing, he would not have realized that his home had been robbed.

This was already the fourth theft case in Yau Ma Tei. After hearing the report from his subordinates, Li Fei, who was originally at the police station, rushed over and took special care to check it out.

The door was the same as before, it had not been pried open, so it was obvious that the thief had used another method to enter the room.

After the inspection, Li Fei became more and more interested in this group of thieves.

This group of thieves were obviously very professional. From the moment they started stealing to the moment they left, they had planned everything in advance.

The thief must have scouted the place beforehand, and only started stealing after making sure the owner was not at home. After stealing the things, he restored the scene. Even if the owner came back, he might not realize that his house had been robbed in a short time.

What a bunch of amazing thieves.

However, no matter how powerful they were, Li Fei found some flaws.

"Go find the administrator and take back the building's surveillance footage from this week." Li Fei said to his men.

Although the driver was puzzled, he still followed Li Fei's orders.

After the driver got the surveillance video, Li Fei led the team back to the police station and gathered the men who stayed there.

Then everyone was asked to watch the surveillance video that was brought back and find the suspicious person from it.

When Li Fei's men saw the stack of CDs, they all looked miserable.

There are more than a dozen surveillance videos around and inside the building. It will take at least a whole day to watch all of them.

If you watch it all day, your eyes will probably get ruined.

But Li Fei had already given the order, and they had no choice but to buy eye drops first and then watch the DVD.

Li Fei did not stand idly by, but joined the crowd watching the video.

All the computers in the office were put to use, and there were two or three people watching in front of each computer. As long as they suspected someone was suspicious, they would sit down and record it, and then everyone would analyze it together afterwards.

Time passes by minute by minute.

When it was time for lunch, Li Fei was still very humane. Seeing how hard his subordinates worked, he paid for takeout from the five-star hotel out of his own pocket.

When they came outside, Li Fei's men were all dumbfounded when they saw such a rich variety of takeout.

They were not ignorant people. They had only seen these dishes in big restaurants and did not expect their boss to be so generous.

The subordinates who had some complaints originally began to shed tears of gratitude towards Li Fei, and those complaints disappeared.
