In Hong Kong variety shows, what does "crime buster" mean?

Central Police Station, Major Crime Unit 3 Office.

Fang Jiexia stood opposite the desk, holding a stack of documents in her hands.

Her brows were furrowed, and her lips were slightly pursed, making her look somewhat irritable.

"Brother Fan, that batch of No. 4 darts is circulating more and more widely in the market, but we still haven't found the source. That guy is too cunning!"

"What about those who demolished houses? Didn't you get anything out of them?"

"We asked, we used every method available, but they have absolutely no idea what's useful. Asking is pointless!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan pondered for a moment, put down his pen, and leaned back in his chair.

"Don't rush, take your time. Even the most cunning rabbit can't escape a seasoned hunter. Once we've finished the joint investigation, I'll work with you on it."

"Sigh... I'm not in a rush, I just feel pretty frustrated."

Fang Jiexia sighed softly, "By the way, Brother Fan, my teacher wants to meet you."

"Your teacher?"

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow.

Fang Jiexia's teacher's surname was Gu, and his full name was Gu Zonghan. He was a very well-known figure within the police force.

It is said that this person can reconstruct the psychological profile of the murderer from the slightest clues at the crime scene with an astonishingly high accuracy rate.

When the CID has a case they can't handle, the first person they think of is asking him to come out of retirement.

In addition, this person has many students, and his reputation and connections within the police force are exceptionally high.

"Um..."

Fang Jiexia cautiously glanced at the person opposite her, as if afraid he would refuse.

"Okay, we'll talk about it after we're done with things here."

Chen Fan nodded slightly.

If it were an ordinary police officer, hearing this news would probably make him laugh in his dreams.

But he really wasn't interested.

Fang Jiexia breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a sense of relief that she had not misjudged him.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the corridor.

"Inspector Chen, it's an emergency meeting. Uncle Biao wants us to assemble immediately."

"good!"

Chen Fan straightened up and immediately led Fang Jiexia outside.

When they arrived, the conference room was already quite full.

The chiefs of several squads from the Major Crimes Unit were all present, along with some faces that Chen Fan couldn't name. Judging from their shoulder insignia, they were all of high rank.

Uncle Biao stood in front of the whiteboard, holding a marker in his hand, with a freshly opened document spread out on the table in front of him.

Once everyone had arrived, Uncle Biao cleared his throat and, without exchanging pleasantries, began to speak.

"At 7:40 this morning, Magellan, the director of St. Mary's Hospital, went missing on his way to work."

There was a moment of silence in the conference room, followed by low murmurs.

"Magellan? The one who's always on TV?"

"Yes, that's him."

"This foreigner seems like a nice guy, so why is someone targeting him?"

Uncle Biao tapped the whiteboard, drawing everyone's attention.

Then he took out a photo and stuck it on the whiteboard.

The photo shows a white man in his sixties with gray hair, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a white lab coat, and a kind smile.

Magellan, a British citizen, lived in the port city for more than 20 years. He was one of the founders of St. Mary's Hospital and had a high reputation in the medical and philanthropic fields.

"At seven o'clock this morning, he set off from his residence in the hillside, preparing to go to St. Mary's Hospital."

At 7:40 a.m., his driver was found unconscious in the driver's seat near Gloucester Road. Magellan's whereabouts were unknown.

Uncle Biao opened the folder in front of him and pasted a few more photos on the whiteboard.

Those are photos of the crime scene. A black Mercedes-Benz is parked on the side of the road with its door open, and the outline of a person can be vaguely seen in the driver's seat.

"No ransom demands have been received so far."

Uncle Biao's voice turned serious. "But one thing is very clear—this was a premeditated and planned kidnapping."

"Chief Lawrence called personally, demanding that we solve the case and find Magellan's whereabouts as quickly as possible."

"Therefore, from this moment on, everyone cancels their vacations and everyone is mobilized. Each team is responsible for one area, so mobilize all informants and use every means at your disposal—"

"I need news of Magellan within a day."

"yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, and then Uncle Biao began to assign tasks.

"Team A is responsible for the hillside area. They are investigating clues near Magellan's residence, questioning neighbors and passersby to see if he has had any contact with any suspicious individuals recently."

"Team B is in charge of St. Mary's Hospital. Investigate Magellan's social connections—his colleagues, friends, and patients—leave no one unexamined."

"Team C is responsible for searching for eyewitnesses along Gloucester Road and seeing if anyone has seen any suspicious vehicles or people."

"Team D—"

Uncle Biao's gaze fell on Chen Fan.

"Team D is responsible for the area surrounding St. Mary's Hospital, investigating all possible hiding places for criminals, and reporting any information immediately."

"clear."

Chen Fan stood up, his expression unchanged, and his tone calm.

Uncle Biao glanced at him, nodded, and then turned to the others to continue assigning tasks.

"Brother Fan, when are we leaving?"

Fang Jiexia asked in a low voice from the side.

"Now!"

Chen Fan tidied up the things on the table and walked quickly out of the conference room.

"Call Ah-Jie and tell them to stop what they're doing. You'll be leading the team to investigate the area around St. Mary's Hospital."

"What about you, Brother Fan?"

"I met a lot of people in the underworld when I was with the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB). Asking them might be helpful."

"oh..."

Fang Jiexia was a little disappointed when she heard that they couldn't be together, but she quickly suppressed it.

After dealing with these matters, Chen Fan went downstairs, passed through the lobby, and exited the police station through a side door.

As he walked toward the parking lot, he took out his phone, but after a moment's thought, he put it back in his pocket.

After a while.

Chen Fan parked his car next to a public phone booth and dialed Wei Jixiang's number.

"Who is it?"

"Where's Xiao Fu?"

"Brother Fan?! Xiao Fu, Brother Fan is looking for you!"

Not long after, Xiao Fu's somewhat simple and honest voice came through the receiver.

"I was just about to call you, Brother Fan. Jianjun and the others said the mission is complete and they're just waiting for you to come over."

"Where is it located?"

"Yuen Long..."

Having received the exact address, Chen Fan hung up the phone and got back into his car.

However, he did not act immediately. Instead, he deleted all call records except for those of Lok Wai-ching and the police station's internal phone. Then he went to a mobile phone store and bought a new mobile phone and SIM card.

The situation is different now, so he can't be too careless, otherwise it would be too ridiculous to capsize in the gutter.

Anyway, there's storage space available, so no one can find anything.

After doing all this, Chen Fan drove towards Yuen Long.

Wang Jianjun's group was more efficient than he had expected. Now that they had the man in their hands, the next step was to get him to talk and find out about the smuggling ring and Chen Guobang's connections.

As for Magellan...

A scumbag who uses charity as a front for human organ smuggling has disappeared. What does his disappearance have to do with a lowly detective like me?

If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.

Well... Uncle Biao may not be very tall, but he can still hold his own.

Having been tricked by Chan Ka-kui so many times yet still standing strong, I believe they can do it this time too.
