Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

Chapter 626 The Real Murderer is Arrested
"Miss Zhong, take a closer look and see if your husband's car is in the parking lot," Li Fei said, turning to Zhong Xue'er.

“Okay, sir.” Zhong Xueer nodded nervously.

At this moment, she felt very conflicted; she wanted to save her sister, but she also didn't want the murderer to be her husband.

The tape was played at twice the speed, and everyone huddled together, staring intently at the computer screen.

One minute, ten minutes, half an hour...

Cars were coming and going in and out of the parking lot, but no suspicious people were seen.

Just when everyone's eyes were getting tired from staring, Li Fei shouted, "Stop!"

Zhang Dayong subconsciously clicked the stop button.

"Li sir, what's wrong?" Zhang Dayong then asked.

"Rewind to 35 minutes and 45 seconds," Li Fei said.

Zhang Dayong did as Li Fei instructed, then clicked stop, and the screen froze.

Everyone immediately looked at the screen, where a man wearing a hoodie, a black suit, and black leather boots was taking a black backpack out of the trunk.

Because the surveillance camera was some distance from the man and the image wasn't high-definition, it was impossible to see who the man was.

"Li sir, is there anything suspicious about this person?"

After staring intently for a few seconds, Zhang Dayong still couldn't see anything different about the man. In his eyes, he was just someone who came to Lobster Bay for a visit.

"A suit paired with a backpack, don't you have any doubts?" Li Fei retorted.

Li Zhongyi leaned closer to the computer screen and examined it carefully, saying, "It's perfectly fine to bring some things in a backpack when visiting Lobster Bay!"

“Miss Zhong, look at this suit, it’s the kind your husband would wear,” Li Fei said to Zhong Xue’er behind him.

Upon hearing this, the others quickly made way for Zhong Xue'er so that she could watch from closer range.

Zhong Xueer looked at it for two seconds and said, "It's about 80 or 90 percent similar, but the picture quality is too rough, so I can't be sure."

"Zhang sir, hurry up," Li Fei said.

"it is good."

The man pressed play again, slung his backpack over his shoulder, closed the trunk, and then walked out of the parking lot.

There was a surveillance camera at the entrance of the parking lot, but Zhang Dayong switched to another camera to get a clearer view of the man's face.

When the man walked in front of the surveillance camera, Zhang Dayong pressed the stop button.

"Guo Jun."

The man's face was clearly displayed on the computer screen, and Zhong Xueer immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you sure it's your husband?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dayong asked earnestly.

"That's right, he is my husband." After Zhong Xue'er finished speaking, her face turned deathly pale. Even if she were stupid, she would understand a little.

If Hu Sen wasn't killed by her sister, then the most likely culprit is her husband, Guo Jun.

One is her own sister, and the other is her husband. Zhong Xueer is finding it hard to accept this truth.

He stumbled backward, and if Ling Xinyi hadn't been there to support him, he probably would have fallen to the ground.

“Zhongyi, come with me to see Madam.”

Now that Guo Jun has been identified as the suspect, he has a reason to persuade Madam to search the Guo family home.

If we find the suit Guo Jun wore, and if the suit is missing a button, then the murderer will be obvious.

"Li sir, thank you so much for this case. If you ever need my help in the future, please let me know as soon as possible," Zhang Dayong said gratefully to Li Fei.

"You're welcome, Officer Zhang. You can go ahead and take care of your business. We need to head back too."

Now that the clues have been given to Zhang Dayong and the others, which can be considered as helping Zhong Xueer, he can take the people back to his police station.

Seeing Li Fei and the others leave, Zhang Dayong and Li Zhongyi immediately went to see their superior.

Then it took some time to convince my boss.

After waiting for almost an hour, Zhang Dayong and his companion finally obtained the search warrant and rushed to the Guo family's house immediately. Zhong Xue'er also accompanied Zhang Dayong and the others to the Guo family's house.

Guo Jun's expression changed when he saw Zhong Xue'er return with the police.

He instinctively turned around, wanting to run away.

As the saying goes, "If you have a clear conscience, you won't be afraid of a knock on the door in the middle of the night."

When Zhang Dayong saw Guo Jun trying to escape, he immediately realized that Guo Jun was suspicious and ordered his men to take him into custody.

Then they produced a search warrant and began searching the Guo family's home.

With Zhong Xueer's help, Zhang Dayong found two suits in Guo Jun's bedroom closet, one of which was missing a button on the cuff.

No need to look, the missing one must have been found by the forensic staff at Lobster Bay.

If the forensic team detects that the buttons and the suit are made of the same material, then Guo Jun's murderer will likely be caught red-handed.

Otherwise, why would a rich kid climb up a ventilation shaft?

In addition to finding the suit as strong evidence, Zhang Dayong also found a backpack in the closet that was the same as the one in the surveillance footage.

Open the backpack; inside is a crossbow.

Zhang Dayong couldn't help but laugh.

Guo Jun is such an idiot; he actually let the murderer live.

Now there's no need for interrogation; we can arrest people directly.

Guo Jun was taken back to the police station. At first, he tried to deny it, saying that he did not know Hu Sen and had never killed anyone.

But once the evidence is presented, no amount of sophistry from Guo Jun will be of any use.

With Zhong Xueer's persuasion and Guo Jun's arrest, Zhong Ke'er finally told the truth.

That's right, Zhong Ke'er witnessed Guo Jun committing murder in the women's restroom, and Guo Jun immediately used Zhong Xue'er to threaten Zhong Ke'er.

For her sister's sake, Zhong Ke'er had no choice but to lie.

As for why she confessed and said that she killed Hu Sen,

This wasn't because Guo Jun threatened her, but because she took the blame herself, because this silly girl didn't want her sister's happy family to be destroyed.

Everything is explained.

But there was still one thing that puzzled Zhang Dayong and Li Zhongyi: why did Guo Jun kill Hu Sen?

Zhong Ke'er was unaware of this as well.

The two had no choice but to interrogate Guo Jun again.

With Zhong Ke'er's testimony and physical evidence, Guo Jun confessed to killing Hu Sen, but he never revealed the reason for killing Hu Sen.

Zhang Dayong caught a glimpse of panic in Guo Jun's expression.

Why panic?
Guo Jun has already confessed to murder, so what else can't he say?
Zhang Dayong is impulsive but also persistent, with a spirit of getting to the bottom of things.

The more mysteries there were in the case, the more he wanted to solve them.

Since Guo Jun didn't want to talk, he could only investigate from Hu Sen's side.

After all, killing someone requires a motive.

It's clear that Hu Sen has something on Guo Jun; once he finds that information, he can find out why Guo Jun killed people.

Zhang Dayong requested permission from his superior to search Hu Sen's home.

Zhang Dayong's female boss was named Lei Xiaofeng. She didn't want to cause any more trouble. Since the other party had already admitted to killing Hu Sen, wouldn't it be better to close the case as soon as possible?

However, Zhang Dayong disagreed with his superior's way of doing things and tried his best to defend himself. In the end, Lei Xiaofeng got annoyed and had no choice but to agree to let him search Hu Sen's house.

Zhang Dayong and Li Zhongyi, armed with a search warrant, broke down the door to Hu Sen's house.

Because Hu Sen lived alone and his family had long since immigrated, they had no choice but to break down the door.
