Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

Chapter 597: Just Lie Down

After some time, seeing that she was truly safe, Lin Yueji quietly returned to Hong Kong and used her remaining savings to open a flower shop.

Under her careful management, the flower shop's business is booming.

Five years later, Lin Yueji's flower shop became more and more successful. She couldn't handle the workload by herself, so she hired a diligent and capable assistant, He Lijin.

Sometimes things in this world are just so coincidental. Lin Yueji and He Lijin got along very well. After they became acquainted, Lin Yueji was shocked to learn that He Lijin was Chen Qiang's wife, and that she and Chen Qiang had a son.

Upon learning of this, Lin Yueji felt deeply sorry for He Lijin and her son. If she hadn't killed Chen Qiang, He Lijin and her son wouldn't be living in such dire straits.

So Lin Yueji took care of He Lijin and her son in both work and life, and even recognized He Lijin's son, Ajie, as her godson.

It can be said that the three of them are closer than family.

Finally, Yu Zilang investigated the whole case and found out that Lin Yueji knew she was the real murderer of Chen Qiang, but she didn't dare to say it. So many years had passed, and she couldn't bear to give up her free life and didn't want to go to jail.

Although the police have confirmed that Lin Yueji is the real culprit, fifteen years have passed and much of the evidence has disappeared. If they want Lin Yueji to confess, they can only get her to speak up herself. Otherwise, even if they know that Lin Yueji is the real culprit, they can't do anything to her.

Therefore, Yu Zilang did something that lacked martial ethics.

Taking advantage of Lin Yueji's godson Xiao Jie's coma after heart surgery, she pretended to be a prostitute lying in the hospital bed and had other police officers cooperate to create the illusion that Xiao Jie was critically ill.

Sure enough, Lin Yueji, who was already preparing to run away, rushed back after receiving He Lijin's message, as she was worried about Xiao Jie.

Then, Yu Zilang conspired with other police officers to pretend to arrest He Lijin. Lin Yueji looked at He Lijin, who was crying and unwilling to be separated from her son. She couldn't bear it and finally confessed that she was the murderer who killed Chen Qiang.

Actually, Lin Yueji could have denied it, since Yu Zilang was just bluffing her and didn't really arrest He Lijin.

After Lin Yueji was arrested, she thought He Lijin and her son would blame her for killing Chen Qiang.

However, He Lijin did not resent Lin Yueji. She knew that Lin Yueji knew nothing about Chen Qiang's background at the time and had only been deceived by him. After Lin Yueji confessed, He Lijin even went around hiring lawyers to help her with the case, hoping that the judge could find Lin Yueji guilty of manslaughter rather than murder.

Having known each other for over ten years, He Lijin and Lin Yueji have become like sisters, and she sincerely hopes that Lin Yueji can be released from prison soon.

For this reason, Li Fei really didn't want to take the case, and even less did he want to disturb the lives of Lin Yueji and He Lijin.

The three of them are living a good life like this; there's no need to add to their suffering.

But his superiors wanted him to find the real culprit.

Li Fei was really confused. He even asked Zhang Sir why the higher-ups were suddenly paying so much attention to the case from twelve years ago.
That's right, it was twelve years ago. There are still three years until Yu Zilang solves the case fifteen years later. In other words, the plot of "D.I.E." has not yet started, and Yu Zilang has not yet obtained any special abilities.

Inspector Zhang didn't hide anything from Li Fei; instead, he told him the truth.

After hearing this, Li Fei was completely stunned.

It turns out that the reason he was asked to investigate the "Chen Qiang Murder Case" was because of Li Fei's own connections.

Because Li Fei had previously been in contact with Lei Gong, the task force transferred him away from the case, meaning they were preventing him from getting involved with the Night Detectives.

Li Fei came to the West Kowloon Police Station and joined the task force to investigate the case of the Night Detective.

We're not letting him touch it now, and we have no plans to transfer him back to Yau Ma Tei.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Some people at higher levels would disagree with not using a talent like Li Fei.

After all, keeping people at the West Kowloon Police Station indefinitely is a waste of talent.

Therefore, after some consideration, and noticing that Li Fei often reviewed old cases, Raymond from the West Kowloon Police Station stepped forward and suggested that Li Fei be allowed to solve those long-standing cases, so as not to waste his talent.

Li Fei smiled bitterly to himself, blaming himself for being so foolish as to reopen those old cases!
That's why they're being misunderstood.

And it's all Cheung Sir's fault; it was that bastard who strongly recommended it.

The blame fell on Inspector Cheung mainly because he had uncovered clues in the case of Kwan Tak-man's death and led Leung Siu-yau and others to arrest Kwan Tak-man, Ho Wing-sum, and Lee Tak-kwong. Inspector Cheung had thus averted a disaster.

But Zhang Sir turned around and sold him out.

He has no choice but to accept the role in "The Murder of Chen Qiang".

never mind!

After most cases were assigned to him, he could just lie down and relax.

If you don't investigate yourself, there's nothing your superiors can do about it.

Li Fei's idea was good; he simply handed the case over to Liang Xiaorou to investigate, while he lay down in his office. As for reopening old cases, he decided to forget about it.

He didn't want to be treated like a slave by the police leadership.

For several days in a row, Liang Xiaorou and her subordinates ran around outside, investigating clues.

But no matter how much they investigated, the murderer was still Yu Dahai.

But Yu Dahai was no longer in Hong Kong, and no matter what Liang Xiaorou and the others tried, they couldn't find him.

"Shen Xiong..."

After several days without any leads, Liang Xiaorou's entire team was filled with a sense of dejection.

"Madam."

Shen Xiong replied weakly.

“Where are the clues! It’s been several days, and you haven’t found a single clue,” Liang Xiaorou said.

“Madam, don’t you already know? There are no clues left! Twelve years have passed, and even if there were clues, they’ve disappeared,” Shen Xiong said helplessly.

These days, they've basically traveled all over Hong Kong.

They went to the crime scene, and to Chen Qiang's former workplace...

They also looked for people connected to Chen Qiang, but apart from knowing that Chen Qiang was a scumbag, it seemed that none of these people had anything to do with Chen Qiang's death.

They even questioned Chen Qiang's wife, He Lijin, but she had no good feelings towards Chen Qiang at all. Chen Qiang's son even cursed his father to death whenever Chen Qiang was mentioned, which shows how unsuccessful Chen Qiang was as a person.

Such a person deserves to die.

The more Liang Xiaorou and the others learned about Chen Qiang's character, the less they wanted to investigate. After all, helping such scum catch a murderer felt like aiding and abetting evil.

However, their duty as police officers means they cannot turn a blind eye to cases they encounter.

“Madam, why don’t you go ask Inspector Li? Maybe he can give us some clues?”

Ling Xinyi, who was sitting there, said with a bright look in her eyes.

Yup!

"Why didn't I think of Ah Fei! Ah Fei is a detective."

Thinking of this, Liang Xiaorou quickly ran to Li Fei's office.

"hooligan……"

When Li Fei heard Liang Xiaorou's coquettish voice, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

Isn't Liang Xiaorou supposed to be a heroic and valiant policewoman?

When did she become Yue Huizhen?
Could it be that her personality has changed because she's been spending more time with Lok Wai-ching lately?
