Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 289 What is meant by "divine speed"?
Not to mention that Xiao Qi wouldn't dare to speak ill of Wang Dao, even Wu Ma, the most senior member, wouldn't dare to say anything.

Countless gangsters in the underworld idolize Wang Dao.

If you dare to speak ill of Wang Dao, some gangster might think you've insulted his idol and stab you.

Don't assume that such things don't happen.

There are plenty!
People will use you to gain fame.

This is also why many underworld bosses dare not go out alone; those new generation gangsters are really capable of doing such things.

Chen Tai spoke up at this moment:

"Brother Zhong, there's no need to say anything else."

"What case do you want us to cooperate with in investigating?"

Chen Guozhong smiled:

"Atai is still the most pragmatic."

"Actually, it's simple; it's just Cao Cao's case."

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Chen Guozhong bluntly stated:

"In my opinion, this matter was originally a family affair."

"When it comes to feuds in the martial arts world, we should follow the rules of the martial arts world."

"I don't care."

"To put it bluntly, as long as you don't affect ordinary people, I don't care how many people die."

“But if you don’t give me face, then I won’t give you face either.”

"If you don't respect me, I don't need to show you any mercy."

Wu Ma, Chen Tai, and Li Xiu all stared at Xiao Qi, who was extremely frustrated.

Isn't confronting the police a standard practice?
Who knew it would backfire?

Chen Guozhong patted him gently:

“You are either big shots from the Sihai Group or people who experienced that night.”

"Actually, you were also the last people to see Lord Cao, right?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Chen Guozhong smiled and said:

"Okay, please help me reconstruct what happened that night."

Wu Ma thought for a moment and said:

"That night, Mr. Cao went to listen to Cantonese opera."

“When we were kids, we didn’t have much entertainment. Listening to the radio or Cantonese opera was a rare treat.”

"After retiring, I made it a point to go to the opera regularly without fail."

"Both Cao Gong and I enjoy listening to opera."

"And Mr. Qin, the owner of Dahua Theater, is an old friend of ours."

Chen Guozhong nodded slightly:
"That's exactly what I know."

"In this day and age, there are fewer young people who are willing to listen to Cantonese opera."

"Mr. Cao is one of the major financial backers of the Dahua Theatre, and to put it bluntly, he is the biggest financial backer."

Wu Ma nodded:
"Indeed."

"Cao Cao was a man of honor, and we gradually became friends with him."

Chen Guozhong asked:
What kind of person is Mr. Qin, the boss of Dahua?

Wu Ma was taken aback:
"You mean, could they be the murderers?"

"Will not!"

"Boss Qin is just an ordinary person; they are not involved with any gangs."

Chen Guozhong nodded slowly:
"Master Ma, please continue."

Wu Ma continued:
"When we parted, Cao Cao went home."

"Lord Cao has his own bodyguards, and I was a little worried about that, so I had Xiao Qi come along."

"Xiao Qi is a new generation of backbone members who have emerged in our group. He is very reliable."

Chen Guozhong crossed his arms and said,

"Didn't the reliable Xiao Qi save Cao Ya?"

Xiao Qi said with a dark face:

"This is my fault."

"I also went to the Dahua Theater to watch a play."

"However, I had my girlfriend with me at the time."

"It's just that my girlfriend doesn't like listening to Cantonese opera, and she kept asking me about Cao Xueqin's identity on the way here."

"As I was answering, a dump truck suddenly jumped out."

"They've completely blocked the road."

"The road was very narrow, and I was so anxious that I kept honking the horn."

"After waiting for two minutes, I suddenly felt something was wrong. When I got out of the car to check, I realized that the car didn't have a driver!"

Xiao Qi's face was very pale.

"That's when I knew I'd fallen for their trap!"

"This is someone's ambush."

"But I wasted ten minutes!"

Chen Guozhong asked with great interest:

"ten minutes?"

Xiao Qi nodded vigorously:

"That's right, five minutes!"

"That dump truck was hard to drive, and the driver even took the key out of the car."

"By the time I reconnected and moved the car, nine minutes had already passed."

"Ten minutes had passed by the time I started my car."

"What's even more bizarre is that it was raining heavily at the time!"

"It's typhoon season, and it's raining heavily."

"The car can't go fast at all!"

"I finally caught up with Cao Gong's carriage, only to find that something had happened."

"Lord Cao..."

Chen Guozhong asked:
"And then what did you do?"

Xiao Qi took a deep breath:
“I called Mr. Ma.”

"Ma Gong, Tai Ge, and Xiu Ge are all here."

Chen Tai nodded slightly:

“I received a call from Mr. Ma as soon as I got home.”

Li Xiu replied:
“I had just met up with my girlfriend when I received this terrible news.”

Chen Guozhong asked curiously:

"Didn't you go to the Grand Theatre with your girlfriend?"

Li Xiu shook his head:
“My wife never wants to hear this stuff, and I respect that.”

Xiao Qi pouted.

Wu Ma nodded slightly:

"That's true. Every time we go to the opera, only Ashu never brings his girlfriend."

"Just yesterday, Cao Gong said that Xiao Qi should learn from Ashu."

Xiao Qi sighed.

Cao Ya told Xiao Qi not to force his girlfriend.

Xiao Qi replied that his girlfriend would gradually come to accept it.

Who could have imagined this would happen?

Chen Guozhong asked:
"Does anyone know the route Cao Ya took back?"

Chen Tai, Li Xiu, and Xiao Qi all shook their heads.

Wu Ma said:

"We are people of the martial arts world."

Even though Cao Cao has retired from the criminal world for many years, he still has many enemies.

"Therefore, the safest thing is to make it impossible for others to control your movements."

"Only one person knows Cao Cao's movements, and that is A Biao."

Chen Guozhong asked:
Who is A Biao?

Wu Ma sighed:

"Cao Gong's driver!"

Chen Guozhong nodded slowly.

The bodyguards and drivers around a big shot are his absolute confidants.

If they don't trust each other, there will definitely be problems.

"Cao Cao died on the spot, and all his bodyguards died with him, except for one person who was missing."

Chen Guozhong uttered a name:
"Driver A Biao?"

Wu Ma nodded solemnly:

"Correct!"

"Only he knows what happened that night."

"The problem is, we have absolutely no idea whether he's alive or dead."

"He may still be alive, or he may be dead, but his body is not present at the scene."

Chen Guozhong said calmly:

"Don't worry, A Biao will definitely live."

Wu Ma was taken aback and pressed for an answer:
"Why do you say that?"

Chen Guozhong bluntly stated:

“We inspected the site.”

"The bullets were all aimed at Cao Ya and his bodyguards."

"Not a single shot was aimed at the driver's seat."

"You can completely trust the professionalism of the Kowloon Forensic Centre!"

A cold glint flashed in Wu Ma's eyes.

In fact, he had this feeling for a long time.

It was just a pipe dream.

If Chen Guozhong says something like that now, then there's no need to even consider it.

Everyone in the underworld knows that Superintendent Chan Kwok-chung is a brilliant detective; once he makes a judgment, he is almost always right.

Wu Ma gritted his teeth and spoke with hatred.

Everyone knows that Cao Ya is loyal and treats his own people especially well.

What does Ah Biao have?
If it weren't for Cao Ya's appreciation, he would be nothing.

Now he not only earns a considerable income, but also holds a significant position—he's Cao Ya's driver, a trusted confidant.

As a result, that bastard betrayed Cao Ya in the blink of an eye.

Wu Ma secretly vowed that once he caught A Biao, he would definitely torture him to death by a thousand cuts!
Chen Guozhong clapped his hands:
"Alright, we have the basics covered."

"Someone conspired with Cao Ya's driver to ambush Cao Ya and set him up in a death trap."

"Now what we need to do is much simpler."

"Find Ah Biao, and then find out the truth."

"It's that simple."

Does anyone have any objections?

Li Xiu immediately said:
"Brother Zhong, I only have one opinion."

Chen Guozhong looked at him and said:

"You are the new chairman of Sihai, and I will grant your request as appropriate."

"So, what are your requirements?"

Li Xiu gritted his teeth and said:
"Cao Cao is my adoptive father, and I must avenge him myself."

Chen Guozhong shrugged:

"Alright, this is just a feud between江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world), I'll give you that face."

Li Xiu was overjoyed:

"Thank you, Brother Zhong."

Xiao Qi asked doubtfully:

"You've pulled off a huge stunt, getting us all arrested. If you solve the case but don't catch the culprit yourself, will your brothers be satisfied?"

Chen Guozhong sighed slightly:
"You are not me, so don't presume to know what I'm doing."

"The gap between us is a little bit big."

Xiao Qi's face turned bright red. He had no way to refute it!
This matter cannot be explained away with just a few harsh words.

Perhaps this was a huge deal in Xiao Qi's eyes, but in Chen Guozhong's eyes, it was just a small matter.

Chen Guozhong suddenly asked:
"Excuse me, has anyone seen Ah Biao?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Chen Guozhong solemnly said:

“I’m warning you, Ah Biao is a prime suspect. If you’ve seen him, you’d better tell me.”

“Once I get other information, it won’t be up to you to decide.”

Everyone shook their heads.

Chen Guozhong looked disappointed and stared intently at Chen Tai:

“Atai, if others don’t answer, it’s because they really haven’t seen Abiao.”

Why did you lie to me?

Wu Ma and Li Xiu stared wide-eyed at Chen Tai in astonishment.

"Atai, it's you?"

Xiao Qi was furious:
"Master Ma, Brother Xiu, are you crazy? How could you suspect Brother Tai?"

"Brother Tai is Cao Cao's adopted son!"

Li Xiu gritted his teeth and said:
"Ma Gong was Cao Cao's right-hand man, and I am also Cao Cao's adopted son."

Why does Brother Zhong suspect him, but not us?

Xiao Qi was taken aback.

Chen Tai's gaze was indifferent as he coldly addressed Chen Guozhong:

“Brother Zhong, you are indeed a ruthless detective, but you must rely on evidence when solving cases.”

Chen Guozhong looked at Chen Tai with a half-smile:

"That's right, evidence is essential in handling cases."

"But when did your gang start asking for evidence when you did things?"

"Just having doubts is enough!"

Chen Tai's anger surged, and he said angrily:
"You're not here to investigate the cause of my godfather's death at all, are you?"

"I admit that Xiao Qi offended you, so you hold a grudge and want to cause trouble for us, right?"

Xiao Qi was instantly filled with fervor, slammed his hand on the table, and stood up:
“One person does the deed, one person takes the blame. Brother Zhong, if you have any problems, come at me.”

Chen Guozhong looked at Xiao Qi speechlessly:

"idiot!"

Xiao Qi was furious:
"Brother Zhong, why are you saying that about me too?"

"idiot!"

Then another sound rang out.

Xiao Qi was even angrier. He turned his head and froze.

The people who said this were none other than Wu Ma and Li Xiu.

"No, Mr. Ma, Brother Xiu, why are you saying that too?"

Wu Ma said with exasperation:

"Are you stupid? Or have you been brainwashed by Atai?"

"Atai is clearly your boss. Why doesn't he come to your aid when you're in trouble?"

"Haven't you realized yet? He's using you as a scapegoat!"

Xiao Qi said incredulously, "Impossible, Brother Tai wouldn't do that."

Wu Ma roared:
"You still don't know how?"

"I wanted to say this when we were at the Sihai Building."

"Is it any person who can make a decision about choosing the leader?"

"This is disrespectful to Lord Cao."

"To put it bluntly, this is disloyalty and unfilial piety!"

"To put it mildly, this is called rebellion."

“You said such outrageous things, and Atai just watched without even reprimanding you…”

What is this called?

Xiao Qi felt a chill in her heart: "Master Ma...it can't be that bad, can it?"

Wu Ma coldly said:
"You stay out of the way and don't let yourself be used as a pawn."

Xiao Qi quickly backed away, feeling an unbearable itch in his head, as if his brain was boiling.

Wu Ma coldly said:
"Atai, what else do you have to say?"

Chen Tai suddenly laughed:

“Master Ma, I am my godfather’s adopted son and also a senior member of the gang.”

"You want to condemn me? That's fine with me."

"At least let me die in peace."

"You can't just convict me based on suspicion like you would others, can you?"

Wu Ma paused for a moment, glanced at Li Xiu, and noticed that he was hesitating.

Chen Tai is right; no matter how you look at it, evidence is needed. The other party's identity is too sensitive.

If not handled properly, the world could fall apart.

Chen Tai said he had dismissed Wu, Ma, Li, and Xiu, and calmly looked at Chen Guozhong:
"Brother Zhong, I admit I'm no match for you."

"But I ask myself honestly, we have no grudge against each other, so why are you targeting me?"

Chen Guozhong looked at him with amusement:
"No grudge?"

"You're going to turn the Sihai Group upside down and shake up the business world, and you're telling me you have no grudge against me?"

"I will not interfere with the affairs of your Sihai Group."

"But if you're going to ambush Cao Ya, you should ambush him properly."

"You have plenty of ways to make Cao Ya disappear."

"But you'd better get me started on a gunfight in the street!"

"I received a phone call just as I was about to go to sleep last night."

Do you know how angry I am?

"How much energy have I used up for your sake?"

“Cao Ya just died yesterday, and I found out about you at four o'clock this morning.”

"I didn't sleep a wink all night!"

"You made me waste a whole night, and you dare to tell me we have no grudge?"

Where's your face?!

Chen Tai stared at Chen Guozhong in disbelief, dumbfounded. "Do you want to hear what you have to say?"

Is it really necessary to go to such lengths over just one night?
Chen Guozhong gritted his teeth and said:

What is the most precious thing in this world?

"time!"

"You fucking wasted my time!"

"It's truly unforgivable!"

"Don't you want evidence?"

He turned his head and shouted.
"Ma Jun!"

The tough guy with an iron face walked in.

Chen Guozhong nodded:

"This guy won't give up; he wants evidence."

The tough-looking man simply tossed down a file folder:

"Freshly produced testimony."

“Ah Biao’s.”

Wu Ma, Li Xiu, and Xiao Qi all made their moves at the same time, but in the end, it still fell into Wu Ma's hands.

Li Xiu and Xiao Qi quickly surrounded it; its appearance was like that of someone with three heads and six arms.

The three men's faces turned ashen.

Chen Tai disagreed:

“Brother Zhong, I’ve had too much dealing with the police station.”

"You think you can frame me by fabricating a confession?"

"You're overthinking it."

boom!
Wu Ma threw the document directly at Chen Tai's face and shouted:

"How dare you?!"

Chen Tai was stunned by Wu Ma's attack. When he came to his senses, he said incredulously:
"Master Ma, do you have such a deep prejudice against me?"

"You trust Brother Zhong that much?"

Wu Ma roared:
"You fucking open the file and take a look."

“Ah Biao was found in the basement of your house.”

“He’s eating good food and drinks in your basement, and you still say you haven’t seen him.”

Chen Tai's face turned pale instantly, and he slumped down.
"how come?!"

Chen Guozhong said coldly:

"Why do you think I brought you all here?"

"You really think I'm bored?"

"Not really!"

Chen Guozhong said calmly:

"To tell you the truth, the only person I actually wanted to bring from beginning to end was you."

"A stern warning stick?"

"Do I need to use this thing to intimidate the martial arts world?"

"Wherever I stand, which organization wouldn't feel pressured?"

No one had anything to say.

That's right, no matter where Chen Guozhong goes now, basically no one will provoke him.

Nobody dares to!

When money reaches a certain level, the act of simply counting it can kill someone.

The stern-faced man suddenly said:
"Besides A Biao's testimony, there is another person's testimony."

Everyone looked at him.

Ma Jun pursed his lips and said:

"After we found A Biao in Chen Tai's house, Chen Tai's wife Xinghui jumped off the building!"

!

Everyone was shocked.

Chen Tai angrily said:

"Are you fucking bluffing me?"

Ma Jun gave him a disdainful look:
"Would I try to fool you with something like this?"

Do you know why your wife jumped off the building?

"Unfortunately, we couldn't save her."

"But we heard her last words clearly."

"She is very disappointed in you, not only because you were not elected as the leader, but also because you actually murdered Cao Ya!"

Li Xiu suddenly pounced on him and threw a punch.

While fighting, he shouted:
“Your godfather raised you and values ​​you the most.”

"You heartless bastard, how dare you kill him?"

Chen Tai suddenly erupted:
"You value me?"

"Then why didn't you send me the location sooner?"

"In the end, that position wasn't given to me, but passed on to you."

"I fought tooth and nail for the gang, but what did I get in the end?"

"Nothing!"

“The old codger is neither dead nor passing on his position; he only treats me as a tool.”

"How can I take over if he doesn't die?"

Xiao Qi was stunned, feeling a mix of panic, disappointment, and despair: "Brother Tai, why are you like this?"

Chen Tai turned his head and angrily cursed:
"You idiot, you can't even handle a simple task, what use are you to me?"

"I should have killed you sooner."

Boom.

Xiao Qi looked at Chen Tai in disbelief. Was this still the same Tai-ge who treated him like a father or brother?

Overwhelmed with despair, he muttered, "What an idiot I am!"
