Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

Chapter 574 Investigating the Death of Guan Dewen
"Lin Shao Cong is dead. You'd better be careful these days."

Although the police may not be able to find out who Xu Lifang killed, it's never a bad thing to be cautious.

The two avoided the surveillance cameras and left the building via the stairwell.

Before Xu Lifang could say goodbye, Li Fei suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye, which startled Xu Lifang.

However, she quickly recovered and, after looking around and finding no one, hurriedly left.

The night passed.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the following day that someone discovered Lin Shao Cong was dead at home.

The person who discovered Lin Shaocong's body was one of his own employees, because he hadn't gone to work that morning and his colleagues couldn't find him when they needed to.

I called several more times, but no one answered.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the employees found Lin Shao Cong's house.

That's when they discovered he had been murdered in his home.

The employees were so frightened that they immediately called the police.

After receiving the emergency call, Liang Xiaorou immediately led a team to the scene.

Although Liang Xiaorou had no good feelings towards Lin Shaocong, she even wished she could beat this scumbag to death with her own hands.

Even though the person is dead, the police still need to bring the murderer to justice.

Forensic experts and medical examiners were called in.

After Gao Yanbo and Gu Zechen examined the scene, they found no clues whatsoever.

Under Li Fei's professional guidance, Xu Lifang cleaned up the scene exceptionally well.

As a forensic doctor, Gu Zechen could only determine that the victim was killed last night.

The autopsy revealed no clues whatsoever.

After nearly two days of investigation, Liang Xiaorou finally discovered a clue.

This clue was discovered by Liang Xiaorou from the building's surveillance footage.

Although Li Fei had Xu Lifang clean up the scene, the building's surveillance cameras still captured footage of Lin Shao Cong and Tracy returning.

Fortunately, Tracy was clever and covered up everything on her face that might be exposed.

Police suspect the woman who returned with Lin Shaocong is the murderer.

But no information about this woman can be found.

Because no one would suspect that Tracy, who was in a wheelchair, was the murderer.

The police's investigation ended there.

To find the murderer, we need to find this woman.

But Hong Kong is so big, and there are so many women. If you were to look for one, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Leung Siu-yau wanted to find the murderer, but Inspector Cheung didn't have time for her to investigate because he also wanted to find Kwan Tak-man.

He led the investigation of this case three years ago, and he also wrote the closing statement, concluding that Guan Dewen was dead.

It's possible that Guan Dewen is still alive, or that the couple committed insurance fraud.

If Guan Dewen reappears alive in the future, it will be because he failed to handle the case effectively.

If he hadn't retired, he would definitely have been demoted.

Even if he retires, he might lose his pension because of this case.

Therefore, Inspector Cheung hopes to find Kwan Tak-man before retiring and correct the mistakes he has made.

Under Inspector Cheung's orders, Leung Siu-yau had no choice but to abandon the investigation into Lam Siu-chung's murder and turn her attention to investigating Kwan Tak-man's case.

Liang Xiaorou and her team investigated news related to Guan Dewen and had already assigned people to monitor He Yongchen 24 hours a day. But they didn't find much of a breakthrough.

However, based on previous information, it is highly likely that Guan Dewen did not die and that he committed insurance fraud.

Before Kwan Tak-man suspected he had been kidnapped, he had purchased a large sum of insurance money.

Due to a wrong business decision, their company encountered serious problems, was in dire need of working capital, and was even on the verge of bankruptcy.

With so much working capital, it's impossible to come up with it in a short period of time. Borrowing from a bank would likely cause the company to collapse, and it would go bankrupt even faster.

Therefore, the couple couldn't bear to see their hard-earned career ruined, so they meticulously planned a scheme to defraud the insurance company.

Upon discovering this, Liang Xiaorou and her group were secretly shocked by Guan Dewen's fearless spirit.

If this isn't done properly, it could kill someone.

Guan Dewen was sentenced to death because a large amount of his blood was found at the scene.

According to forensic experts, if a person loses all of these blood at the same time, there is virtually no chance of survival.

But from Gu Zechen, they learned of another way to produce so much blood at the scene without anyone dying.

The method is simple: continuously draw large amounts of blood from your body over a month.

But doing this also carries risks; you might just die prematurely.

However, judging from the fact that Guan Dewen's company has come back from the brink of collapse, Guan Dewen should have survived the risks and even received the insurance money.

"Any news from Ho Wing-sum?"

That day, except for leaving one person to monitor Ho Wing-sum, Leung Siu-yau gathered the rest of the people together to discuss the Kwan Tak-man case.

Upon hearing Liang Xiaorou's words, Shen Xiong, who had been taking turns monitoring He Yongchen, said, "We've been following He Yongchen for several days. She goes to get off work and leaves work normally every day. Even if she doesn't go to work, she goes to a beauty salon. She doesn't go anywhere else."

"Any news from his brother Guan Dewu?" Liang Xiaorou turned to ask Cheng Weisheng.

“That playboy, although he’s a nominal manager at the company, spends all his time eating, drinking, and having fun. I haven’t found him contacting any suspicious people,” Cheng Weisheng said, shaking his head.

With no leads from either side, Liang Xiaorou fell into deep thought.

It's absolutely impossible for someone to stay hidden for three years.

Everyone needs to eat, drink, and relieve themselves. Guan Dewen used to be a rich man. Even if he hid and didn't want to be discovered, could he really resist eating and drinking?

Unless the person is actually dead.

However, based on Li Fei's judgment and the clues he had recently found, Guan Dewen was definitely not dead.

“Madam, I learned from a former employee of Kwan Tak-man named Uncle Fu that Ho Wing-sum and Kwan Tak-man used to be very much in love…”

Liang Xiaorou, who was deep in thought, suddenly heard Shen Xiong's words and, as if she had thought of something, looked up and interrupted, "Why bring up the past?"

"What?" Shen Xiong was taken aback.

"Why do you say that Guan Dewen and He Yongchen were a loving couple before? And now?" Liang Xiaorou asked Shen Xiong, looking directly at him.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiong immediately realized what was going on and said, "Madam, although we haven't found Guan Dewen while following He Yongchen these past few days, we have discovered something else: He Yongchen is having an affair with the company's legal counsel, and we even took intimate photos of the two of them."

As he spoke, Shen Xiong picked out a photo from a stack of photos on the table, showing He Yongchen being intimate with a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

"Has this person been investigated?"

Holding the photo, Liang Xiaorou asked.

“I checked. He is the legal counsel for Guan Dewen’s company. Since He Yongchen took over the company, this lawyer Li has been helping He Yongchen handle the company’s legal matters. Judging from their interactions, they are definitely not in an employer-employee relationship.”

"So, Kwan Tak-man and Ho Wing-sum used to be in love, but judging from Ho Wing-sum's relationship with lawyer Lee now, their love probably no longer exists."

After listening to Shen Xiong's analysis, Liang Xiaorou nodded in agreement.
