Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

Chapter 77: Plot changes, the murderer is dead?
"A Fei, what did you find?" Liang Xiaorou walked over and asked.

"Madam, I really found something. Come with me."

Li Fei said with a smile.

Then he took Liang Xiaorou to the bottom of the balcony downstairs and gently stepped on the sewer cover.

The original steel manhole cover was very heavy, and even if people stepped on it, it would only make a sound.

But the sewer cover was so light that it flipped over in an instant and then flipped back again.

Li Fei squatted down and picked up the lid with his hands.

"Madam, it's made of plastic." Li Fei pinched it and handed the lid to Liang Xiaorou.

“It’s really plastic.”

Liang Xiaorou pinched the plastic manhole cover and her expression suddenly became serious.

How could a manhole cover be plastic?
This is a government project. If every sewer cover in Hong Kong is made of plastic, who knows how many people will be killed.

"Look, the corpse floating on the water below, I suspect it is the young man in the photo." Li Fei said, pointing to the sewer.

Liang Xiaorou put down the plastic lid and looked at a thin young man floating on the sewage with what seemed to be a knife wound on his back.

"Shen Xiong..."

Under Liang Xiaorou's instructions, Shen Xiong led people to salvage the body.

"Dead." Shen Xiong said.

It has been soaked in sewage for so long, it would be strange if it didn't die.

Li Fei on the side touched his chin and began to reorganize the plot based on the original plot.

According to the original drama, Tan Weisheng was rescued in time because Lin Tingting called the police.

But Lin Tingting was no longer jogging in the morning, and perhaps in order to save himself, Tan Weisheng planned to roll down from the balcony.

After all, there is grass under the balcony. If you fall down, the most you will get hurt. But if you don’t fall down, you will be waiting to die on the balcony.

What Tan Weisheng didn't expect was that the place where he fell into decline happened to be the sewer.

What he didn't expect was that the manhole cover was made of plastic, and he fell into the sewer with a plop, which was the cause of his death.

This is also the reason why forensic personnel and the serious crime team did not find Tan Weisheng during their search of the surrounding area.

Of course, this is just Li Fei's reasoning. If you want to know the truth, you may have to wait for the forensic doctor to perform an autopsy on the body.

"What a pity!" Li Fei shook his head secretly.

What Li Fei regretted was not that Tan Weisheng died, but that he lost a skill point.

As soon as Li Fei confirmed the plot of the family annihilation case, he wanted to find an opportunity to send this kind of beast down to reunite with his parents and sister.

But due to plot changes, Tan Weisheng died early.

Someone sent Tan Weisheng's body to the morgue, and everyone went back upstairs.

Ling Xinyi walked over and said, "The entire house has been searched, and we've found information about the deceased. The deceased, Tan Tong, was a jewelry supplier. He had a safe in his study, but his valuables were gone, leaving only his ID."

Gao Yanbo and the others finished listening. Mo Shuyuan held up a small transparent bag and said, "We found this diamond on the ground. It weighs a little over one carat. The color matches and it should be an ecolour. The wholesale price is 30,000 Hong Kong dollars. We also found a torn velvet bag, which should be used to store the diamond."

"We also found another diamond at the door of the room. It seems the murderer accidentally left it behind when he escaped."

"The whole scene looked like a robbery and murder."

As Mo Shuyuan explained the forensic findings, Gao Yanbo, the head of the forensic team, concluded, "In other words, it's very likely that the owner accidentally tore the velvet bag during the struggle with the criminals, causing the diamond to fall out."

Liang Xiaorou nodded, agreeing with Gao Yanbo's reasoning, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gao, and Li Fei. If it weren't for your carefulness, we really wouldn't have found the body of Tan Tong's son."

"There is a suspicious point." Li Fei said suddenly.

"What?" Liang Xiaorou and the others were slightly stunned. "Diamonds? According to common sense, Tan Tong would not reveal that there were diamonds in his home. So how did the robbers know?" Li Fei said.

"You mean the robber is an acquaintance." Gao Yanbo said with his eyes shining.

Li Fei nodded.

Liang Xiaorou said, "To know that there are diamonds hidden in Tan Tong's home, he must be a very close person."

"Shen Xiong, take someone to investigate Tan Tong's social connections and see if he has any relatives or friends. Report any information immediately."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After saying that, Shen Xiong took his men away.

Lin Tingting stared at Li Fei with sparkling eyes, thinking to herself, "With such a handsome face, I didn't expect his ability to solve cases is so impressive. He even found suspicious points that even Gao Sir didn't notice."

"A Fei, are you there?"

At this time, a may voice came from the communicator on Li Fei.

"Sister May, what's the matter?" Li Fei replied while pressing the communicator.

"We stopped a garbage truck at one of the garbage points and found a fruit knife inside," May said.

Liang Xiaorou hurried over, took Li Fei's communicator and said, "May, protect the murder weapon. I'll send the forensic personnel over immediately."

"Ok."

Gao Yanbo said to a forensic officer beside him, "Guoming, come over here."

"Ah."

The forensic officer who was called Guoming picked up a silver box and walked out of the room.

"Now that the murder weapon has been found, the next step is to find the murderer," said Liang Xiaorou.

Li Fei was thinking about whether to end this family murder case early. After all, the murderer was dead, and continuing to waste police resources on the investigation would only be a waste of time.

He doesn't want to stay here forever because of this case.

Thinking of this, Li Fei pretended to explore and walked around the crime scene.

Liang Xiaorou and others did not stop this, thinking that Li Fei was interested in this case. Of course, they also hoped that Li Fei could bring them a surprise.

Li Fei searched the scene, walked into the kitchen, and took a knife off the shelf.

Liang Xiaorou saw this scene.

"Li Fei, what are you doing with this knife?" Liang Xiaorou asked.

Li Fei smiled and said, "Madam, the murderer of the family annihilation case is so cruel. I also want to see if I can help find some clues so that the murderer can be caught as soon as possible, but..."

Hearing Li Fei pause, Liang Xiaorou hurriedly said: "But what..."

For some reason, Liang Xiaorou trusted Li Fei very much. From the first time they met, she realized that the other party was not simple.

It was he who provided the clues in the pond corpse abandonment case, which led to the discovery of evidence of Wu Zhiwen's crime. Unfortunately, Wu Zhiwen was killed by the Dark Night Police.

The second time was the case of Hong Shengyouni, which reminded him that the people killed by the Dark Night Detective were all related to drugs.

This time, it was he who found the body of Tan Tong's son.

So has he discovered any important clues now?

"I looked at the wounds on the deceased's bodies. They weren't caused by a single knife. The wounds on Tan Tong's son and daughter were long and narrow, while the wounds on Tan Tong and his wife were wider."

"The width of the knife in my hand is similar to the wounds on Tan Tonger's body. I suspect this is the weapon that stabbed Tan Tonger's body."
