Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

Chapter 620 Female Reporter Gao Jie

"I don't know. I hadn't even gone in when I heard the news of someone being killed, so I ran over. I just went to the restroom. Even if the murderer was inside, they would have already escaped."

Everyone looked disappointed.

If Li Fei goes inside and finds no one there, then the woman who hit Madam will become even more suspicious.

“Madam, do you remember what that woman looked like?” Ling Xinyi asked.

Liang Xiaorou recalled for a moment and said, "I still remember, we can make a jigsaw puzzle then."

The suspect has been identified, and officers from the local police station have arrived at the scene.

"Hello, I am Sergeant Cheung Tai-yung from the Wan Chai Serious Crimes Unit A."

The leader walked up to Li Fei and the others, took out his identification, and said...

"Leung Siu-yau, West Kowloon Serious Crimes Unit".

"Li Fei from the West Kowloon Major Crimes Unit."

"Shen Xiong".

“Ling Xinyi…”

Li Fei and the others also introduced themselves.

Upon hearing that the other person was a colleague, Zhang Dayong looked surprised, then smiled and said, "So you're colleagues, that's great. Could you tell me about the case?"

Liang Xiaorou nodded to Shen Xiong, who immediately told her about Hu Sen's murder, but he did not mention the suspect.

After listening, Zhang Dayong thought for a moment and asked, "Have you seen the murderer?"

“No.” Shen Xiong shook his head, then added, “However, we have suspects.”

"Who?" Zhang Dayong's eyes lit up.

Shen Xiong looked at Liang Xiaorou, who said, "Let me explain this matter. Here's what happened..."

She recounted how she was bumped into at the entrance of the women's restroom and described the woman's panicked state at the time.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dayong turned to look at the toilet not far away, and then glanced at the corpse.

"Thank you, Madam. Do you have time to come back to the police station with me later to do a jigsaw puzzle?" Zhang Dayong said gratefully.

“No problem,” Liang Xiaorou said.

"Thank you. I won't bother you any longer. We'll head back after I've dealt with the rest."

"Ok."

After Zhang Dayong left, Li Fei and the others planned to pack up the barbecue equipment.

At this moment, a woman who was nearly 170 cm tall, with a bright and elegant appearance, wearing a light blue suit and holding a camera ran over and said with a sweet smile, "Hello, are you the first people to find the deceased?"

"A reporter?" Li Fei glanced at the name tag on the other person's chest and asked.

"Yes, I am Gao Jie, a reporter from the magazine," the woman introduced herself.

"Do you need something from us?" Li Fei asked.

The female reporter in front of me was still very pretty, no less beautiful than Liang Xiaorou, and she was also quite voluptuous.

"May I ask you a few questions?" Gao Jie said.

Li Fei glanced at Zhang Dayong not far away and said, "I'm sorry, if you're asking about the deceased, we can't disclose anything."

“I can give you money, and you can just give me a little bit of information,” Gao Jie said.

Shen Xiong smiled slightly and said, "Miss reporter, if you really do this, we can sue you for bribery."

"What bribery?" Gao Jie was completely bewildered. Weren't these people the witnesses to the murder case? In the past, when she paid them money, they would reveal all sorts of information to her.

“We are police officers,” Shen Xiong said, showing his identification.

"Ah!" Gao Jie exclaimed in surprise, finally understanding what Shen Xiong meant by bribery.

Gao Jie blushed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were officers. Just pretend I didn't say anything." At this moment, a female police officer in plainclothes walked over, looking at Li Fei with bright eyes and said, "Officer Li, I'm here to take your statement."

"Okay." Taking a statement is part of the police investigation process. Li Fei nodded, and then everyone cooperated with the policewoman to complete the statement.

Gao Jie, who was standing nearby, wanted to eavesdrop, but Ling Xinyi pulled her aside. After all, before the case was solved, there were some things that the reporters couldn't know.

“Li sir, my name is Mao Defen…”

After taking the statement, the policewoman didn't leave immediately, but looked at Li Fei nervously and said...

"you know me?"

Before Mao Defen could finish speaking, Li Fei interrupted her.

"Yes, Li Sir, you are the idol of everyone in the police force, and I admire you even more. I wonder if you could give me your contact information?"

Judging from Mao Defen's appearance, she was clearly a fan of Li Fei. Li Fei smiled slightly at her nervous and expectant look and gave Mao Defen a business card.

Holding the business card, Mao Defen was extremely excited and bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you, thank you."

Watching Mao Defen skip away with her business card in hand, Liang Xiaorou felt a pang of jealousy: "You're happy, you even manage to meet beautiful fans here."

"Pretty, isn't she!" Li Fei smiled and shrugged. Although Mao Defen, dressed like a boy, was not bad-looking, she couldn't be described as particularly beautiful.

"Zhang Sir should have finished dealing with things. Let's quickly pack up our things, go to the Wan Chai Police Station to finish the jigsaw puzzle, and then go back," Li Fei said to Liang Xiaorou and the others.

Not a moment later.

Everything was put in the car, and unwanted trash was thrown into the trash can.

Just after they finished cleaning up, Zhang Dayong and his men came over and told Li Fei and the others to follow them in their car.

The group soon arrived at the Wan Chai Police Station.

Liang Xiaorou cooperated and completed the jigsaw puzzle. But when Zhang Dayong and Li Zhongyi received the puzzle, their expressions suddenly changed.

Li Zhongyi, in particular, was filled with shock.

"Ke'er," Li Zhongyi suddenly called out.

"Do you know this suspect?" Li Fei asked, feigning confusion.

"She's the cashier at our police station canteen, Li Sir, Madam, is the suspect you saw really her?" Zhang Dayong asked with a grave expression.

"There is basically no difference."

Liang Xiaorou looked at the puzzle and then recalled something before speaking.

After receiving Liang Xiaorou's affirmative answer, Zhang Dayong said to Li Zhongyi, "Zhongyi, don't overthink it. Maybe Ke'er is just passing by. Go to the cafeteria and see if Ke'er is there. If she is, bring her with you."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Li Zhongyi said and hurriedly left.

Not long after, Li Zhongyi brought Zhong Ke'er to the Major Crimes Unit A.

"Officer Zhang, what do you want with me?"

Zhong Ke'er looked visibly uneasy, especially after seeing Liang Xiaorou; her heart jumped into her throat.

After killing Hu Sen, Zhong Ke'er was filled with anxiety and fear upon her return, especially when Li Zhongyi came looking for her, she became extremely nervous.

Fortunately, she remained relatively calm and managed to suppress her panic.

Zhang Dayong noticed Zhong Ke'er's unusual behavior and asked her, "Ke'er, did you go to Lobster Bay today?"

"Yes."

With Liang Xiaorou around, Zhong Ke'er couldn't lie.

"Why go there?" Zhang Dayong continued to ask.

“I’ve been a bit stressed these past few days, so I went there to fly kites to relax,” Zhong Ke’er said.

Li Fei was somewhat surprised to hear this. He hadn't expected Zhong Ke'er to go alone. In the original drama, she went with Li Zhongyi and had him act as her witness, which prevented Zhang Dayong from becoming suspicious.
