Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

"Hey, Xiaorou, where are you taking these people?"

That noon, while Ding Shouli was away from home, Li Fei spent two hours fooling around with Lei Xiaofeng. When he returned to the police station, he found Liang Xiaorou leading her men out and couldn't help but ask her about it.

"I just received a report that Mr. Jian Zhichao's car was vandalized in a parking lot in our jurisdiction. My superiors sent me to take some people over to check it out," Liang Xiaorou said.

Normally, this kind of case wouldn't fall under the jurisdiction of the Major Crimes Unit, but because Jian Zhichao is a wealthy man, the higher-ups took it very seriously and assigned the case to Liang Xiaorou.

Jian Zhichao!

Li Fei was stunned. Wasn't this Gao Min's husband?
Jian Zhichao was quite a jerk in the original series, so it's understandable that his car was vandalized...

“I’ll go with you,” Li Fei said.

"Are you going too?"

Liang Xiaorou stared at Li Fei with a suspicious look.

Was it necessary for Li Fei to go along with such an ordinary case? Or did he have some ulterior motive?
"Yes, Jian Zhichao is a very wealthy man. If someone dared to vandalize his car, that person must be someone important," Li Fei casually offered as an excuse.

"Um."

Liang Xiaorou did not continue to doubt and immediately set off with her people.

The group quickly arrived at the scene.

"Officers, you've come at the right time. Come and take a look. My car was vandalized not long after it left the factory. I don't know who's messing with me."

Upon seeing Li Fei and his group arrive, Jian Zhichao flew into a rage.

"Mr. Jian, don't be angry. Have you ever suspected that someone has a grudge against you recently?"

Liang Xiaorou glanced at the car that had been splashed with paint and had its windows smashed and asked.

"How would I know? If I knew, I wouldn't have called the police and come to you. Madam, I have a meeting to attend. Please resolve this matter. I've had such a bad day."

After saying that, he turned and left without even looking at Liang Xiaorou and the others.

Liang Xiaorou didn't try to keep him, but instead found the parking lot attendant and asked, "Has anyone suspicious appeared here today?"

"The parking lot is so big, it's obvious they're targeting his car instead of other cars. He deserves what he's gotten himself into. He owes his workers wages, and he won't pay compensation even though he was injured on the job. He's done so many immoral things, he might as well die childless!"

The administrator clearly knew Jian Zhichao and was familiar with his character, so he launched into a long tirade against him.

Afterwards, Liang Xiaorou asked many more questions, but she couldn't find a single clue.

Left with no other option, Liang Xiaorou had everyone search the scene to see if they could find any useful clues.

"Li Fei."

Just then, someone outside the cordon called out to him.

Li Fei looked up and saw Gao Jie waving at him.

"Why are you here?" Li Fei asked as he walked over.

"The newspaper sent me here for an interview," Gao Jie said.

“Your newspaper is really well-informed. Our police just arrived, and your reporters arrived at the same time. Do you even know what the newspaper asked you to come and interview about?” Li Fei said with a smile.

"You're just teasing me. The newspaper sent me because they knew my brother-in-law's car was vandalized," Gao Jie said, rolling her eyes at Li Fei.

"You're still so happy knowing your brother-in-law's car was in an accident?" Li Fei asked in surprise.

"Hmph! Never mind whether I'm happy or not, can you tell me who damaged my brother-in-law's car?" Gao Jie asked.

"Big sister, we just arrived, how could we possibly know?" Li Fei said speechlessly.

"Gao Jie, you've arrived."

At this moment, Liang Xiaorou walked over with a stern face and greeted Gao Jie. Liang Xiaorou knew that Gao Jie had gone to the police station to see Li Fei several times.

"Madam, did I disturb you?" Gao Jie said with a smile.

“No, I heard that Jian Zhichao is your brother-in-law. Do you know anything about your brother-in-law? Maybe he can provide us with clues to solve the case,” Liang Xiaorou said.

“My brother-in-law is a naturally mean-spirited person,” Gao Jie said.

"Not only that, he also has a bad temper."

Having just met with Jian Zhichao, Liang Xiaorou already has a basic understanding of his character.

"Only my eldest sister can stand him. She said he wasn't like this before he got married, so you have to keep your eyes wide open before you get married." When Gao Jie said the last sentence, she seemed to be implying something, and her eyes drifted towards Li Fei.

Li Fei, who felt like he had been shot, didn't seem to mind. However, Liang Xiaorou reacted quite strongly, saying to Gao Jie, "Since you understand, then when you date someone in the future, you should make sure you know what kind of person they are. Don't fall in love with a man who already has a girlfriend."

Gao Jie instantly understood what Liang Xiaorou meant; she wanted her to stop having designs on Li Fei.

"Don't worry, I, Gao Jie, only like loyal men. I don't even look at some philandering men," Gao Jie said sarcastically.

“Let’s stick to the case, why bring up other things?” Li Fei said.

Liang Xiaorou reached out and pinched Li Fei's waist, thinking to herself: If you weren't such a womanizer, why would you be afraid of being talked about?

"Reporter Gao, we need to work now, please go back!"

Liang Xiaorou said.

“Okay, Madam, please let me know if you find any leads.”

Gao Jie knew she wasn't welcome by Liang Xiaorou, so she left right after speaking, without any hesitation.

After a two-hour search, no suspicious clues were found at the scene. Ling Xinyi and Cheng Weisheng, who went to check the surveillance footage, also did not see any suspicious persons in the footage.

Clearly, this person had made preparations before vandalizing Jian Zhichao's car, or rather, had thoroughly researched the parking lot.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have left not a single clue.

Since no clues can be found, the only option is to ask Jian Zhichao to see if any clues can be obtained from him.

Liang Xiaorou asked Shen Xiong to call and ask if Jian Zhichao was still at the company.

The person who answered the phone was Jian Zhichao's secretary, who said that Jian Zhichao had already gone home after the meeting.

Liang Xiaorou asked Shen Xiong to take the men back to the police station, while she, Ling Xinyi, and Li Fei went to Jian Zhichao's house.

The three drove to Jian Zhichao's villa.

The three were stopped by the servants.

After showing their identification, the servant led the three into the villa.

As soon as they entered, the three heard Jian Zhichao and Gao Min arguing loudly.

The maid was about to speak when Li Fei stopped her.

"Open your eyes and look carefully! The photos have been taken, and you still say you've never seen him!" Jian Zhichao angrily pointed at Gao Min and shouted.

"I just wanted to make it clear to him that he shouldn't come looking for me anymore," Gao Jie explained.

Standing behind Jian Zhichao, his younger brother Jian Zhiyuan advised, "Yes! Big brother, let your sister-in-law explain!"

Jian Zhichao turned his head and cursed fiercely, "Shut up!"

Jian Zhichao's younger brother, Jian Zhiyuan, is a completely different person from his older brother. Jian Zhichao is domineering and arrogant, while Jian Zhiyuan is gentle and polite.

After being scolded by Jian Zhichao, Jian Zhiyuan dared not speak. (End of Chapter)
