Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

Chapter 431 Liang Xiaorou's shock
As Liang Xiaorou pressed on, He Yongzhang threw a tantrum, "What's the problem?! I don't think I'm that bad now, nor do I think I was that good before. The world changes, people change, and the moon waxes. Anyway, Madam has supported me, Madam appreciates me, and I thank you so much. I'm so grateful in my heart."

Hearing that He Yongzhang still wanted to refuse, Liang Xiaorou's face was full of disappointment.

She didn't want to waste any more words and asked directly, "A female murder case happened in Yau Ma Tei today. Did you know?"

"What case?" He Yongzhang was stunned.

He didn't know why Liang Xiaorou asked him this.

Liang Xiaorou told He Yongzhang about the female corpse found in the morning.

Moreover, Li Fei's analysis was also mentioned.

"Serial killer! That Li Fei said I know something? Impossible!"

He Yongzhang was a little surprised and confused when he heard this.

"Think carefully, have you encountered similar cases?" Liang Xiaorou asked.

"Madam, can you tell me more about the female corpse?"

At this time, He Yongzhang was no longer smiling, but had a serious expression on his face.

"According to Sir Gu's preliminary assessment, the female corpse may have died of suffocation and was also defiled by the murderer..."

As He Yongzhang listened to Liang Xiaorou's description of the female corpse's appearance, his eyes grew more and more angry.

He clenched his fists tightly and cursed, "Fuck off! If I had known, I would have beaten that bastard to death."

"What? You know the murderer?"

Seeing He Yongzhang's reaction, Liang Xiaorou was shocked, and Shen Xiong and others next to her also looked at He Yongzhang in surprise.

"Madam, you have also seen the murderer, Zheng Xiaodong." He Yongzhang said expressionlessly.

"It's him! How is it possible? He was the one who reported the case when the female corpse was found!"

Liang Xiaorou was stunned. This murderer was beyond her expectations.

"Fourteen years ago, he was also involved in a female murder case. I arrested him myself."

Zheng Xiaodong committed a crime again. He Yongzhang knew that he could no longer hide it, so he immediately told what happened.

"Madam, let me show you something."

Afraid that Liang Xiaorou would not believe him, He Yongzhang walked out of Liang Xiaorou's office, came to the automatic desk outside, opened the drawer with a key, and took out a stack of folders.

"Madam, take a look for yourself."

Back in the office, He Yongzhang handed one of the folders to Liang Xiaorou.

"This case was a sensation fourteen years ago."

Liang Xiaorou opened it and found a newspaper from fourteen years ago.

"I was in the Serious Crime Unit at the time, and we were in charge of this case. We discovered that the criminal was quite cunning and didn't leave any clues on the victim. Fortunately, we found a witness in a village near the crime scene."

"That villager was catching frogs that night when he saw a man hurriedly emerge from the bushes and drive away. That bush was where the crime occurred. The next morning, we also found the victim's body in the bushes." Hearing this, Liang Xiaorou asked, "Did that villager recognize the man?"

"Not only did they recognize him, they also recognized the license plate. We followed this clue and found that the license plate holder was Zheng Xiaodong, and the victim was an employee of his computer company. On the night of the incident, employees from other companies also saw the victim get into Zheng Xiaodong's car."

"All the evidence told me that Zheng Xiaodong was very suspicious, so I arrested him immediately."

"Zheng Xiaodong, of course, denied it and kept saying he had dinner with the deceased woman and then sent her home. But because we have a strong witness from a villager, we can still prosecute him."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiong cursed, "That idiot thought he could escape, but he was caught anyway. He deserves it."

"Since there is a witness, he should be able to be convicted. Why is Zheng Xiaodong still at large?" Liang Xiaorou said a little doubtfully.

If Zheng Xiaodong was really arrested and imprisoned that year, he would not be out there now. Obviously, something happened that allowed Zheng Xiaodong to escape legal sanctions.

"Before the trial began, the sole witness was hit and killed by a car. Based on the principle that the doubt fell on the defendant, the judge sentenced Zheng Xiaodong to be released on the spot."

"Afterwards, according to our investigation, he was the one who did everything. He might even have killed the witness. He's a psychopath who thinks he'll win forever after winning once. He'll definitely continue to harm people."

"Although I had to take the promotion exam at the time, I would still keep an eye on Zheng Xiaodong during my holidays. Sure enough, one day... I saw him walking down the street with a bookstore saleswoman. I thought he would do something bad to that woman, so I followed them."

"I was thinking that if he made any move, I could arrest him on the spot, but strangely, he walked the woman back to her doorstep, said a few words to her, kissed her, and then left."

"I thought at the time, it doesn't make sense. How could I give up the fish that's right in front of me? I just kept following him. Then I realized that he had already noticed me following him..."

"That guy was a psychopath. He banged his head against the wall until it was bleeding, then turned around and accused me of hitting him. Although there was no evidence to prove I hit him, I didn't take the promotion exam or handle other cases to keep him company, so I naturally had no hope of getting promoted."

"No one has ever accused me of being obsessed. I ignored Zheng Xiaodong's family and ended up having his wife run away with another man. After this incident, Zheng Xiaodong left Hong Kong."

"I initially became a police officer because I believed in justice, in the law, and that good could not prevail over evil. But the law let Zheng Xiaodong go, allowing him to commit all sorts of evil things with impunity. I stood up for what was right, and ended up with nothing. Where is justice in this world? Where is justice?"

"I still don't know why I continue to be a police officer."

With a final roar of unwillingness, He Yongzhang vented all the resentment he had accumulated over the years.

Actually, that’s true. If someone had the same experience as him, they would probably end up like this.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiong and others sighed for Manager He Yongzhang.

Now they could understand why He Yongzhang was so fond of cheating and had no enthusiasm for police work.

If it were them, they would probably have quit their jobs long ago.

Liang Xiaorou didn't think about what He Yongzhang said. Li Fei's figure and the words he asked her to ask He Yongzhang flashed through her mind unconsciously.

"Did he foresee all this?" Liang Xiaorou said in shock.

Thinking of Li Fei's eyes that saw through everything, Liang Xiaorou felt that this man was becoming more and more mysterious. She had an urge in her heart to uncover Li Fei's unknown secret.

How did he know that He Yongzhang was involved in this case?

Or did he already know that Zheng Xiaodong was the murderer the moment he saw him?
