Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

Chapter 625 Plot Twist! Who is the Real Culprit?

"Xiao Rou, notify Inspector Zhang and have him bring the forensic team over to see if they can find any fingerprints on it," Li Fei said to Liang Xiao Rou.

"it is good."

Leung Siu-yau immediately called the Wan Chai Police Station.

Wan Chai Serious Crime Unit A.

Upon learning that Li Fei had found a clue in the women's restroom, Zhang Dayong immediately instructed Li Zhongyi to notify the forensic team, and then rushed to Lobster Bay with his men.

A dozen minutes later, Zhang Dayong and his group arrived at the scene.

Upon meeting Li Fei, Zhang Dayong expressed his gratitude to Li Fei and the others, after all, Li Fei had helped them solve the case.

Forensic personnel began collecting evidence.

Zhang Dayong then discussed the case with Li Fei and others.

He also suspected that Zhong Ke'er was not the murderer.

Unfortunately, he had no evidence, which is why he recommended that Zhong Xueer seek help from Li Fei.

I didn't expect Li Fei to be so capable; he found the clues in such a short time.

"Li Sir, thank you for helping Ke'er."

Li Zhongyi bowed to Li Fei in gratitude.

As Zhong Ke'er's boyfriend, he was very unhappy that his girlfriend was accused of murder.

"You're welcome. It's what I should do as a police officer," Li Fei said modestly.

"Moreover, it's too early to talk about these things now. Until the murderer is found, Zhong Ke'er remains a suspect."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhongyi nodded in agreement, but having made a discovery was better than having no clues at all.

He was determined to help Ke'er as long as he persisted in the investigation.

"Officer Zhang, we've made a discovery."

Suddenly, a forensic officer walked over and said.

"What discovery?" Zhang Dayong asked hurriedly.

The forensic officer took out a white plastic bag containing a button and said, "This was found in the vent."

Zhang Dayong examined the button carefully. It wasn't rusty, which meant it had been left behind recently.

"Zhongyi, go back and have someone investigate these buttons."

Zhang Dayong gave instructions to Li Zhongyi.

"Ah."

"and many more."

At this moment, Zhong Xueer called out.

"Miss Zhong, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing Zhong Xue'er's words, everyone looked at her with confusion.

“This… I recognize the button,” Zhong Xue’er said after a moment’s hesitation.

"you know?"

Zhang Dayong and Li Zhongyi said in surprise.

"That's right, the buttons are made in a factory in Paris. This factory specializes in custom-made buttons for a particular suit brand. This brand doesn't have any stores in Hong Kong; you have to go to Paris, France to buy them. Because the suits are expensive, not many people in Hong Kong wear this kind of suit. As far as I know, there are only two people: the second young master of the Li family, and..."

"Who is the other one?"

Seeing that Zhong Xue'er had stopped talking, Li Zhongyi became anxious.

“Yes, Miss Zhong, who is the other one?” Zhang Dayong asked quickly.

As the second son of the Li family and a wealthy second-generation heir in Hong Kong, Zhang Dayong had certainly heard of him; such a person was incapable of committing murder.

“My husband is Guo Jun,” Zhong Xueer said quietly.

"what?"

"your husband?"

Both Zhang Dayong and Li Zhongyi looked incredulous.

Li Fei touched the bridge of his nose with his finger, lost in thought. Hu Sen, as a secret reporter, specialized in secretly filming the private affairs of celebrities, then using that information to blackmail them.

As the successor to a Hong Kong tycoon, Hu Sen would never dare to blackmail the second son of the Li family. After all, it would be very easy for the Li family to kill him; they wouldn't need to do it in broad daylight.

As for Zhong Xueer's husband, Guo Jun, Li Fei had also seen him in the newspaper.

Although the Guo family is wealthy, they are not considered a large family; they are just moderately wealthy individuals whose company is worth approximately 500 million.

Compared to the Li family, it's worlds apart.

But the more prestigious the family is, the more the Guo family considers themselves to be of high status and looks down on those from the lower classes.

Guo Jun was photographed by reporters several times engaging in promiscuous behavior, and in response, he physically assaulted and verbally abused reporters and people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

In the eyes of some wealthy people, such a family is something that everyone hates.

So, does this button belong to the second son of the Li family or to Guo Jun?
Li Fei speculated that the most likely culprit was Guo Jun.

So why is Guo Jun here, and why did he leave the button on the vent?

This is highly suspicious.

If it's confirmed that Guo Jun was present at the scene on the day Hu Sen died, then he's highly likely the murderer.

This also explains why Zhong Ke'er said that she was the one who killed him.

In the original drama, Zhong Ke'er felt very guilty towards her older sister and always hoped that she could be happy.

She witnessed Guo Jun shoot and kill Hu Sen that day, and a normal person would have called the police immediately.

But she didn't; instead, she helped cover it up and even took the blame for him in the end. So what was the reason?

It's all for my sister's happiness.

Li Fei didn't know what happened when Zhong Ke'er discovered Guo Jun's murder scene, but he could deduce it.

There are only two possibilities.

First, Zhong Ke'er helped cover it up, because if Guo Jun was arrested because of this, her sister's family would definitely be destroyed, which was something she didn't want to see.

Secondly, he was threatened by Guo Jun.

In the original drama, Guo Jun knew about Zhong Ke'er's situation, so he probably took advantage of Zhong Ke'er's guilt towards Zhong Xue'er to threaten her into helping him lie.

Even taking the blame was Guo Jun's idea.

Based on these two points, Li Fei leans towards the second option.

So, if we want to help Zhong Ke'er, the only way is to get her to tell the truth and capture Guo Jun to save her.

“My husband, Guo Jun, bought two pieces in Paris last year, but they’ve been sitting at home and rarely worn,” Zhong Xueer said.

"Brother Yong, why don't we search the Guo family's house?" Li Zhongyi suggested.

“We only have suspicions; without concrete evidence, Madam wouldn’t agree to search the Guo family’s house,” Zhang Dayong said.

"What should we do then?" Li Zhongyi asked anxiously.

"The only thing we can do is try to persuade Madam and then apply for a search warrant from above."

Just as Zhang Dayong finished speaking, the forensic officer next to him said, "Zhang sir, the evidence search here is complete. If there's nothing else, we'll head back."

"Thank you, you've gone to so much trouble."

"You're welcome, this is what we should do."

With the forensic personnel gone, there was no need for Zhang Dayong, Li Fei, and the others to stay.

However, Li Fei and the others did not return to the original police station, but instead followed Zhang Dayong to the Wan Chai Police Station.

As for why he came to Wan Chai Police Station, it was because he had Shen Xiong bring him a parking lot audio tape, which he wanted Zhang Dayong and others to watch together.

After all, this case was handled by the Wan Chai Police Station, and he was only asked by Chung Suet-yee to help out; he absolutely could not directly interfere in this case.

Zhang Dayong found an unused computer and started playing a cassette tape.

"Ah Fei, is it really possible that the murderer is in the parking lot?"

Liang Xiaorou asked Li Fei.

“There are no bus stops near Lobster Bay. Tourists who come to Lobster Bay to fly kites usually drive there themselves, and the murderer was no exception,” Li Fei said calmly.

“That’s true,” Zhang Dayong agreed.
