Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

Chapter 613 Demon
Although Shen Xiong and the others were a bit far from the village house and couldn't see clearly who the woman who opened the door was, they could vaguely sense that this person might be Li Wenfang, whom they were looking for.

Realizing that Li Wenfang was hiding here, Shen Xiong and the others immediately took action.

To catch a thief red-handed, we must not let Zhou Jinjie have a chance to escape.

Therefore, Shen Xiong and the others did not call for backup. Instead, they had Cheng Weisheng block the back door, and then he, Ling Xinyi, and another member of the Major Crimes Unit broke down the door and rushed in.

Shen Xiong broke down the door at just the right moment. As soon as the three of them rushed in, they saw Zhou Jinjie taking food out of a wooden box, while Li Wenfang was also holding chopsticks, ready to eat.

When Li Wenfang saw Shen Xiong and his two companions rushing in, she was taken aback at first, but Zhou Jinjie's expression changed because he recognized Shen Xiong.

Because Shen Xiong had been to his house.

Realizing that his plan had been exposed, Zhou Jinjie intended to stop Shen Xiong and the other two, and then let Li Wenfang escape.

Li Wenfang, whose thumb had been severed, was already weak. She hadn't run more than a few steps when Ling Xinyi, who had shaken off Zhou Jinjie, grabbed her.

After arresting Zhou Jinjie and his wife, Shen Xiong immediately took them back to the police station.

First, Liang Xiaorou was notified, and then Shen Xiong and Cheng Weisheng came to Li Fei to tell him the good news.

After listening, Li Fei nodded inwardly. With his intervention, the ending for Zhou Jinjie and Li Wenfang was completely different from the original story.

In the original novel, Li Wenfang was killed by Zhou Jinjie's mistress, Daisy, who then framed Zhou Jinjie for the murder.

In the original storyline, after Daisy discovered that Zhou Jinjie and Li Wenfang had conspired to trick her, Daisy began to plan how to kill Li Wenfang and then frame Zhou Jinjie.

Daisy deliberately used the excuse that she was willing to break up to invite Zhou Jinjie to her place for a final breakup dinner.

It was Zhou Jinjie's own stupidity that led to this. Normally, when a man and woman break up, the woman wouldn't be so magnanimous as to invite him to a breakup dinner. It was obvious that there was a conspiracy involved.

Zhou Jinjie went to the appointment without knowing the truth. Daisy asked him to cut a cantaloupe with a knife and obtained the knife with Zhou Jinjie's fingerprints, which he used as the murder weapon.

Unaware of the truth, Zhou Jinjie stepped into the trap set by Daisy, which directly led to the death of his wife, Li Wenfang.

The following night, Daisy began her murder plan.

Daisy is a very shrewd woman. Knowing that Li Wenfang's murder would trigger a police investigation, she had to create an alibi before committing the murder to avoid being traced by the police.

So she deliberately got into an argument to get an alibi, then put on the clothes Zhou Jinjie had left with her, disguised herself as Zhou Jinjie, and went to the village house in Saigon where Li Wenfang was hiding.

Li Wenfang, who was hiding, was unaware that death was approaching.

She was still thinking that once she got the insurance money she had swindled, she and Zhou Jinjie would leave Hong Kong together and live a carefree and happy life.

While Zhou Jinjie was away from the village house where Li Wenfang was hiding, Daisy knocked on the door, making Li Wenfang mistakenly believe that Zhou Jinjie had left something behind.

After Li Wenfang opened the door, Daisy killed her with a knife.

Daisy then took out a knife with Zhou Jinjie's fingerprints on it, smeared it with Li Wenfang's blood, and threw the knife into the nearby bushes, thus successfully framing Zhou Jinjie.

Daisy's plan was perfect. If it hadn't aroused Zhang Dayong's suspicion, from deduction to providing irrefutable evidence, she could have safely left Hong Kong by plane. Even if the police found out that she was the murderer, it would probably be impossible to bring her back. Once she left Hong Kong, it would be very difficult to bring her back for trial.

It's important to know that at the time, most countries outside of Hong Kong did not have extradition treaties with Hong Kong. As long as Daisy went to those countries, the Hong Kong police couldn't do anything about her.

An extramarital affair and a scheme to defraud insurance money led Zhou Jinjie and Li Wenfang to their tragic end.

A loving couple in their youth, who not only parted ways but also committed a series of crimes, whose fault is it?
Was it Zhou Jinjie who initially betrayed the marriage, or Li Wenfang who conspired to dismember the body for insurance fraud?
None of this should have happened. It was all due to a series of coincidences that Zhou Jinjie and his wife embarked on a path of crime, ultimately leading to a tragic end.

Thanks to his advance spoilers, many tragedies were avoided. At least Daisy won't have to bear the blame for murder, and Li Wenfang is still alive.

Even if she survives, she will likely face imprisonment.

Zhou Jinjie is in a similar situation.

Insurance fraud, running over and killing someone, dismembering the body, and disposing of the body, etc.

As for how many years he will serve, that depends on the judge's decision.

If someone accidentally kills another person, hiring a good lawyer and taking legal responsibility would at most result in a sentence of up to three years in prison or detention.

But now it seems unlikely that it will be out in less than ten years.

The couple deserved what they did.

In particular, Li Wenfang was, in Li Fei's eyes, simply a demon.

Ordinary people wouldn't dare to hit someone, kill them, and then dismember them!
In the TV series, the couple brought the corpse home, and Li Wenfang, driven by malice, directly dismembered the deceased, cutting off the head, lower abdomen, and ten fingers.

In the scene, Li Wenfang looked like a vengeful ghost from hell, utterly devoid of humanity.

Even Zhou Jinjie, a man, couldn't bear to look at the bloody scene.

After dismembering a person in a village house, Li Wenfang still dared to hide there. This shows how big Li Wenfang's heart is. Isn't she afraid of having nightmares and dreaming that the dead will come to take revenge?

"Here you go. I don't have time to go eat. You can go eat by yourselves after Zhou Jinjie and Li Wenfang's cases are settled!"

Li Fei gave Shen Xiong and the others 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Upon seeing the 10,000 yuan, Shen Xiong and his companion's eyes lit up.

Ten thousand yuan is more than their monthly salary; they can even order abalone at a restaurant.

After putting everything away, Li Fei and Shen Xiong went to the Major Crimes Unit.

Li Fei wanted to hear Liang Xiaorou's interrogation of Zhou Jinjie and his wife before leaving the police station.

When Li Fei arrived at the monitoring room next to the interrogation room.

Police stations typically have a monitoring room next to the interrogation room, which is mainly used to supervise the interrogation process.

Before the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) was established in the 80s, the police force was rife with corruption and various problems. Many police officers had connections with various triads, and some even became double agents for triads, working in the police force while serving the triads.

It has created many wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice.

This phenomenon led to discrimination and fear of the police among the people of Hong Kong at the time, and many people at the bottom of society lived in dire straits, suffering from the double oppression of the police and triads.

After the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) was established, the Hong Kong government began a major overhaul of the police force, and this situation gradually changed.

The police force has also introduced many policies to protect its image.

For example, during interrogation, a high-ranking police officer must be present in the monitoring room to supervise the proceedings. Even if no one is in the monitoring room, surveillance must be activated to ensure fairness and transparency during the interrogation and to prevent any misconduct from occurring.

Specifically, by monitoring the interrogation room in real time, the monitoring room can prevent inappropriate behavior during the interrogation process, such as violence, threats, or other improper means.
