Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

"Li Fei, stop joking. I'm not planning on finding a boyfriend. I'm here today to discuss a brand ambassadorship with the hotel," Huang Jieyi said with a smile.

“Jieyi is becoming more and more popular,” Li Fei said.

“I no longer work at the radio station,” Huang Jieyi said.

"So what's your job now?"

Li Fei asked curiously.

"I just set up my personal studio a couple of days ago, and I invested in and wrote and directed a movie myself," Huang Jieyi said.

"Written and directed by herself? Miss Huang is very talented!" Li Fei was very surprised that Huang Jieyi was so young and had become a director.

"Li Fei, don't flatter me. Actually, this movie is based on the experiences of Mr. Gan Haoxian and Ms. He Yuling."

Upon hearing this, Li Fei immediately recalled the time when Gan Haoxian sought out Huang Jieyi for He Yuling's sake.

Unexpectedly, Huang Jieyi adapted Gan Haoxian and his companion's experiences into a movie.

That's amazing!
If this movie is well-made, it will definitely be a huge hit.

In the original world, this movie also performed well at the box office and received very high praise online.

"Congratulations! I'll definitely go see the movie when it's released."

After Li Fei finished speaking, he glanced at his watch and said, "Excuse me, Jieyi, it's almost time for my shift. I need to go back to the police station first."

"Li Fei, bye-bye." Huang Jieyi smiled and waved goodbye to Li Fei before entering the hotel.

After saying goodbye to Huang Jieyi, Li Fei drove back to the police station.

"Shen Xiong, why are you running so fast? There's a female ghost chasing you!"

Just as he reached the corner, someone bumped into him. Li Fei frowned and looked at the person who bumped into him.

"Excuse me, Officer Li, you're back just in time. Someone just reported a murder." Shen Xiong said anxiously as he steadied himself.

"Where's Madam? Hasn't she arrived yet?"

Following Shen Xiong to the Major Crimes Unit, he noticed Liang Xiaorou was not there and couldn't help but ask.

“Madam has already gone to the scene. She asked me to stay at the police station and go there with you when you arrive,” Shen Xiong said.

"Okay, let me put my things down, then we'll go to the site together."

After Li Fei finished speaking, he returned to his office and put his bag down.

Then he and Shen Xiong arrived at the scene together.

The scene was a roast meat shop.

At this time, a large crowd had gathered in front of the roast meat shop.

Liang Xiaorou and others were also standing at the store entrance.

There was a crowd of onlookers around.

"What happened? Wasn't there supposed to be a murder? Where is the victim?"

Li Fei and his companion approached Liang Xiaorou and asked her what was happening as she was talking to a sleazy-looking man wearing glasses.

"Ah Fei, you've arrived."

Upon seeing Li Fei arrive, Liang Xiaorou was overjoyed.

"Tell me what happened first."

Li Fei said.

“We received a report early this morning that a murder had occurred at the roast meat shop last night, so we came over to investigate immediately. But the owner of the roast meat shop said nothing happened. We are questioning the owner to see if someone made a false report,” Liang Xiaorou explained.

"Where is the person who called the police?" Li Fei asked.

“It’s me, officer. I’m the one who called the police.”

At this moment, a middle-aged man next to him raised his hand and said.

"Who are you? Are you sure someone is really dead?" Li Fei asked, staring at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man, whose eyes were narrowed by Li Fei's gaze, finally mustered his courage and said, "Sir, my name is Ah-kei, and I live next to the roast meat shop. As for what happened last night..." Ah-kei hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I can't be sure, but I really did hear the screams of a dead person coming from next door last night."

"How do you know that's the scream of a dead person and not some other sound?" Li Fei asked.

Aki paused for a moment, then looked at the owner of the roast meat shop and said in an unnatural voice, "Because I am very familiar with that voice."

"familiar?"

Seeing Aki's reaction, Li Fei's lips twitched slightly, as if he understood something.

"Who do you think made those screams last night?" Shen Xiong asked from the side.

“It’s…it’s A-Chang’s wife, A-Juan.” A-Ji almost fell over after saying that.

The people watching were mostly from the neighborhood.

Upon hearing what Aki said, everyone started discussing it.

"I heard that Achang's wife, Ajuan, was having affairs, and I didn't quite believe it, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"What familiar voice? If he hadn't been involved with Ah Juan, he wouldn't have recognized it."

“I’ve had a feeling that there was something wrong with Achang’s wife for a long time. She especially likes to flirt with men. Last time I saw her walking so close to my husband, I went up to her and slapped her.”

"That kind of slut deserves to be beaten."

"Yes! Poor Achang, he has such a cheating wife, he must have worn so many green hats."

"Hey! It's so noisy outside, why can't I see Juan?"

"Wait a minute, Aki heard Ajuan screaming last night. Could it be that Achang couldn't resist killing Ajuan?!"

"It's possible. I would have killed that slut a long time ago."

"Last time I was on the street, I saw Achang's wife arguing with a strange man. A policeman went up to mediate, thinking they were fighting. But Ajuan said it was a family matter. What family matter? That man was obviously a stranger."

"It's really pitiful that Achang married such a wife."

Listening to the surrounding chatter, Li Fei, Liang Xiaorou, and the others quietly observed the roast meat shop owner's reaction.

Seeing that the other person was covered in sweat and his eyes kept darting around, he immediately became suspicious.

"Shen Xiong, take two military police officers and maintain order at the scene."

Hearing the noise at the scene and the reporters who had rushed over, Li Fei gave instructions to Shen Xiong.

"YESSIR."

Shen Xiong immediately led his men to block the reporters who were trying to rush over.

"Officer, let's take some pictures!"

"Officer, can you tell us exactly what happened?"

"Did someone really die, or is someone making a false police report?"

"..."

The reporters, who were being blocked by Shen Xiong, shouted loudly.

Li Fei didn't have time to pay attention to them. Instead, he and Liang Xiaorou walked up to A-Chang, the owner of the roast meat shop.

"Boss, where is your wife?" Liang Xiaorou asked coldly.

Achang wiped his sweat with a towel, looking uneasy, and said haltingly, "Ah, Ah, Ajuan... we had a fight last night and she went back to the countryside early this morning."

"What a coincidence?" Liang Xiaorou sneered. She didn't believe the man's nonsense. Judging from his appearance, he was obviously guilty.

“Madam, your brother-in-law didn’t lie to you. My cousin and brother-in-law had a fight last night and went back to their hometown early this morning. I can vouch for that.”

At this moment, a simply dressed girl with short hair and a cool appearance came out and spoke to Liang Xiaorou.

Liang Xiaorou looked at the girl and asked, "Who are you?"

“My name is Ah Feng. I’m from the mainland. I just came to Hong Kong last month to stay with my cousin,” Ah Feng said.

Liang Xiaorou scrutinized Ah Feng for a while, and seeing that the other party's expression was very natural, it didn't seem like she was lying. (End of this chapter)
