Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

Chapter 630 Gao Jie, the troublemaker

Lan Enmei's younger brother first invited Li Fei to sit on the sofa, then poured him a cup of tea and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you as a liar before."

“It’s nothing. You said your sister died?” Li Fei said.

“Yes.” Lan Enmei’s younger brother nodded.

"That's impossible. She just called me and asked me to bring the wrongly sent item here."

Just as Li Fei finished speaking, the bedroom door opened, and a man in his forties walked out, saying menacingly, "Are you kidding me?! My daughter is dead, why would she call you?"

“It’s true, my sister has been dead for over a year,” Lan Enmei’s younger brother said.

"No way! Your sister just called me. There are still some of her things inside. I'll open it and show you if you don't believe me."

Li Fei pretended to be shocked.

After saying that, Li Fei opened the box, revealing the butterfly inside.

Lan Enmei's father's eyes narrowed when he saw it, and he immediately closed the box again, saying, "No, that's a lie. This isn't your sister's stuff."

Clearly, Lan Enmei's father didn't want his son to know anything.

"It belongs to my older sister. She loves butterflies the most."

But Lan Enmei's younger brother still saw it, snatched the box and said, "Sir, I've seen this butterfly before. It was my sister's old collection. Why would she send it to you?"

"As I've already said, it was a woman named Lan Enmei who sent it to me by mistake, and then this same woman asked me to deliver it here," Li Fei said anxiously as he stood up.

"Stop talking nonsense! You took my daughter's things and then came to my door. What are you up to? Get out of here! If you don't leave, I'll chase you away with a broom and call the police to arrest you!" Lan Enmei's father said menacingly, pointing at Li Fei.

"No need to look anymore, I'm a police officer. I was just returning the things out of kindness, and that's how I learned from your son that your daughter is dead. Hello, this is a private call from someone else. I'm also curious to know what happened. Sir, how did your daughter die?"

Li Fei took out his police ID again and said.

Upon hearing that Li Fei was a policeman, Lan Enmei's father's expression changed. Then, when Li Fei asked how his daughter died, Lan Enmei's father seemed reluctant to discuss the cause of his daughter's death, and said impatiently, "Sigh, she's dead, there's nothing to say, let's go, let's go..."

"dad!"

Lan Enmei's younger brother exclaimed, "The things really belong to my sister. I remember this butterfly; it was one of her old belongings."

“Uncle, I don’t want to know how your daughter died, but as a police officer, I just want to find out who is so bored as to play this prank on me,” Li Fei said.

"How would I know what kind of people she's been associating with! Dude, you think you're so great just because you're a cop! Please, go away, leave me alone."

As he spoke, Lan Enmei's father pushed Li Fei, trying to drive him away.

"Hey, sir, sir..."

With Li Fei's deliberate cooperation, Lan Enmei's father pushed Li Fei out the door.

No matter how much Lan Enmei's younger brother tried to stop her, it was no use.

After the door closed, Li Fei said, somewhat speechless, "How can there be such a person?"

Indeed, he didn't care at all about his daughter's death; in fact, he seemed more afraid of being investigated.

If other parents heard that their children were dead, they might fight the murderer to the death! But Lan Enmei's father is like a plague to his daughter.

"This family is very strange."

At that moment, a middle-aged woman walked out from across the hall and threw her trash into the nearby trash can.

"Auntie, are you very familiar with them?"

Li Fei called out to the middle-aged woman who was about to turn back. "Oh dear! We've lived across the hall from each other for over ten years," the woman said, stopping in her tracks.

Do you know how the daughter who lives across the street died?

Seeing that the middle-aged woman seemed a bit gossipy, Li Fei asked her a question.

"Yes! Amei! She died last Christmas."

"How did you die?"

"The newspapers have already reported it, saying that she had an ambiguous relationship with a foreigner, and they even committed suicide together. Oh dear, maybe her father didn't like her having a romantic relationship with a foreigner. You know, the little girl couldn't see things clearly and did something foolish!"

How old is his daughter?

"She's not very old, maybe only twenty-two or twenty-three! It's so pitiful."

The middle-aged woman, who loved gossip, told Li Fei about Lan Enmei's death, then looked him up and down with suspicion and said, "Hey, how could you not know about such big news? Who are you?"

Li Fei took out his identification for the third time and said, "I'm a policeman, ma'am. What else do you know?"

"Oh dear, I don't know anything. You're a police officer, you should know. Why are you asking me? Don't ask me, don't ask me..."

"Hey, auntie, auntie."

Upon hearing that Li Fei was a policeman, the middle-aged woman seemed to become afraid of the police. She not only stopped gossiping but also repeatedly made excuses and walked back, closing the door behind her. No matter how much Li Fei called after her, it was no use.

Li Fei went downstairs and was about to get into the car when he suddenly felt someone's gaze on him.

Li Fei didn't immediately realize that Gao Jie might be nearby.

The woman wanted to play around, so Li Fei didn't disturb her but instead opened the car door.

As he was about to start the car, he suddenly noticed a letter on the passenger seat.

Li Fei's lips curled up slightly. "Good! Gao Jie really did pry open my car door just to lure me into this."

I don't know what method she used or how she secretly opened her car door. Did she learn lock picking techniques?
The daughter of a family of police officers actually knows this.

At this moment, a woman wearing a beret, not far away, was nervously watching Li Fei inside the car.

Earlier, after Li Fei parked his car and went upstairs, she used the master key she had made to open the car door and then put the envelope in the car, hoping to arouse Li Fei's curiosity and make him continue his investigation.

Seeing that Li Fei had found the envelope, she breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "Li sir, you'd better do your best and find out the truth about Ah Mei's death as soon as possible."

"Deng Feng."

Looking at the recipient's name on the envelope, Li Fei immediately remembered that in the story, Deng Feng was Xie Wanting's college sweetheart.

They both love butterflies and are members of the Butterfly Society.

But Deng Feng was an ordinary person, and he was of no help to Xie Wanting's future.

The ambitious and proud Xie Wanting was losing feelings for Deng Feng. She wanted to marry a successful man to help her climb into high society.

At this time, Xie Wanting met Wang Weian, a wealthy businessman, who developed feelings for her.

Wang Wei'an's wealth and status are exactly what she wants; marrying Wang Wei'an would allow her to realize her dreams.

Xie Wanting broke up with Deng Feng, citing his lack of ambition and his inability to focus on anything other than playing with butterflies.

Deng Feng loved Xie Wanting very much. He couldn't bear to leave her, and since he didn't know what she was planning, he promised to stop playing with butterflies.
