Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

Chapter 565: Connection between the plots of "D.I.E." and "Forensic Heroes"

Time quickly came to three o'clock in the afternoon.

After working for two hours, Liang Xiaorou came out of the office, clapping her hands and saying, "Everyone has worked hard. I'll treat you to afternoon tea. What would you like to eat?"

"Silk stocking milk tea with pineapple bun," Cheng Weisheng said, raising his hand.

"Shrimp wonton noodles," Shen Xiong said.

The others also said what they wanted to eat.

After making a note of it, Liang Xiaorou took out her phone and called a nearby tea restaurant.

Then, I ordered another one for Li Fei.

Half an hour later, the tea restaurant waiter brought over the afternoon tea that Liang Xiaorou had ordered.

Liang Xiaorou took one portion for herself and one portion for Li Fei, and placed the rest on the table for everyone to help themselves.

Then I took two afternoon teas to Li Fei's office.

knock knock!

Liang Xiaorou knocked a few times, and seeing that the door was unlocked, she pushed it open and went inside.

"doing what?"

Liang Xiaorou placed the afternoon tea in front of Li Fei and asked him.

Li Fei closed the document, picked up the Hong Kong-style milk tea, took a sip, and said, "Very authentic Hong Kong-style milk tea."

"I'm glad you like it. I was worried you wouldn't like it!" Liang Xiaorou was very happy to hear this.

“I just looked at an old case from three years ago,” Li Fei said, putting down his Hong Kong-style milk tea and pointing to the documents on the table.

"A three-year-old case?"

Liang Xiaorou thought for a moment and said, "Is it the case of the death of jewelry merchant Guan Dewen?"

“That’s right, looking at the files, I find this case very strange!” Li Fei said.

Actually, Li Fei felt very familiar with this document when he found it among a pile of old cases.

After reviewing the file, Li Fei realized that it was a plot from a TV series he had watched.

"What's so strange? It's perfectly normal for Guan Dewen to be kidnapped and killed," Liang Xiaorou asked, puzzled.

"Where's the body?" Li Fei asked.

"At the time, Inspector Zhang judged that the bandits had thrown the body into the sea," Liang Xiaorou said after thinking for a moment.

“That’s the strangest thing. The bandits took the money and killed the hostage, but there was no need to dispose of the body!” Li Fei said.

Upon hearing this, Liang Xiaorou also felt that the bandits' actions were problematic.

"Ah Fei, do you doubt that Guan Dewen is not dead?" Liang Xiaorou asked, frowning.

"Yeah." Li Fei nodded.

In the story, Guan Dewen did not die, but in the end, he was killed by his wife and her lover because of a dispute over the division of profits.

It's fair to say that Guan Dewen deserved it.

"impossible."

Liang Xiaorou shook her head and said, "Although the body was not found back then, there was a lot of blood at the scene. From a medical point of view, if a person loses so much blood at the same time, there is basically no chance of survival. That's why the forensic doctor, Gu Sir, judged Guan Dewen to be dead."

Li Fei was taken aback, not expecting that Gu Zechen was the one who concluded that Guan Dewen was dead.

It seems that "D.I.E" and "Forensic Heroes" are related!
“You said it yourself, there’s basically no chance of survival, but there’s still a certain probability. And everyone’s overlooking one possibility: while a person can die from having so much blood drawn at once, if the blood is drawn in several sessions over a short period, and then they drink tonics and get injections every day, they might not necessarily die,” Li Fei said after thinking about the plot. Liang Xiaorou was stunned when she heard this.

Although she wasn't a medical professional, she knew that if she really did it, the person might actually survive. But there was one thing she couldn't understand, so she asked Li Fei, "Why would Guan Dewen do that? Isn't he just asking for trouble?"

Li Fei smiled, opened a webpage on the computer, then turned the computer to show Liang Xiaorou, and said, "A year after Guan Dewen disappeared, his wife He Yongchen applied to the court for Guan Dewen's death and successfully received more than 100 million in insurance money."

Liang Xiaorou carefully read a news article on the computer. The article detailed Guan Dewen's kidnapping and his wife's receipt of over 100 million in insurance money.

"Ah Fei, are you saying that Ho Wing-sum and Kwan Tak-man are committing insurance fraud?"

After reading the news, Liang Xiaorou instantly understood.

"Whether it's insurance fraud or not, we need to investigate. Ideally, we should find Guan Dewen," Li Fei said.

If Li Fei hadn't forgotten where Guan Dewen was in the original series, he would have wanted to capture Guan Dewen immediately.

In the original series, Kwan Tak-man was apparently murdered by Ho Wing-sum and her lover in a village house.

But with so many villages in Hong Kong, he didn't know where that village house was, unless Kwan Tak-man died there and someone called the police.

Forget about it. As for investigating Guan Dewen, let Liang Xiaorou handle it. It would be best if she could find him, but it's okay if she can't.

Anyway, according to the plot, Guan Dewen is probably going to be killed by his wife.

Then we can just arrest Ho Wing-sum and her lawyer lover; after all, those three aren't good people.

Liang Xiaorou said with a firm look in her eyes, "Ah Fei, whether your guess is right or wrong, judging from the fact that He Yongchen received more than 100 million in insurance money, maybe what you said is correct. I will tell Zhang Sir about this right away."

After saying that, Liang Xiaorou left Li Fei's office and went to Zhang Sir's office, which was not far from Li Fei's office.

After entering, Liang Xiaorou looked at the leisurely Zhang Sir and said, "Zhang Sir, do you still remember the case of the jewelry merchant Guan Dewen's death three years ago?"

Upon seeing Liang Xiaorou burst in and inquire about the old case, Inspector Zhang turned off the radio and said, "Of course I remember. I handled this case personally. Is there a problem?"

"Li Fei just looked through the case file and he has a different opinion."

Then, Liang Xiaorou revealed Li Fei's speculation.

"Insurance fraud?"

Inspector Zhang stood up instantly.

Back then, this incident was known to all the citizens of Hong Kong.

He admitted that he only ended the investigation before Guan Dewen's body was found due to public pressure.

If Li Fei's guess is correct, then this was due to his own oversight.

Inspector Zhang paced around his office a few times. He was nearing retirement and couldn't let this case affect his pension.

"Xiao Rou, you've been with me the longest. Do you think Inspector Li's speculation is correct?" Inspector Zhang paused and asked Liang Xiao Rou seriously.

“Based on my understanding of Li Fei, his deductions are almost always correct,” Liang Xiaorou said after thinking for a moment.

Regardless of whether Li Fei is right or wrong, she will definitely support her man.

Inspector Zhang slammed his hand on the table, frowning as he said, "If that's really the case, then it's terrible. Xiao Rou, don't let this get out yet. Have someone investigate secretly, and whatever you do, make sure the media doesn't find out."

"YESSIR."

Liang Xiaorou understood Zhang Sir's concerns. If this were exposed by the media, Zhang Sir, who was in charge of investigating the case, would probably be bombarded with criticism. If the higher-ups blamed him, her boss wouldn't be able to retire normally.

"Also, have someone keep an eye on Ho Wing-sum 24/7. It's been three years, and Kwan Tak-man can't have stayed out of the public eye forever. As his wife, Ho Wing-sum must see him quite often," Inspector Cheung instructed.
