Chapter 306 Do you have evidence? After a pause, Tai Jiao said sinisterly: "After all, you are a Royal Hong Kong Island Police Officer. Wearing a three-eight badge on your waist does not mean that your family members are the same, right?" Hearing this, Xinji's younger brothers also showed disdainful smiles, with sarcasm on their faces. Li Xiuyuan was furious. His eyes widened, and he pointed his left index finger at Tai Jiao. He gritted his teeth and said word by word, "How dare you threaten me?" Tai Jiao said nonchalantly: "How dare I threaten a serious crime inspector in the police station?" "Besides, you were the one who first said you wanted to detain me for forty-eight hours. My brothers heard it clearly." "Besides, I came to the police station today to report an important clue to Officer Li. Since you don't want to listen, forget it..." After Tai Jiao finished speaking, he turned the wheelchair around and pretended to leave. Such an abnormal behavior made Li Xiuyuan a little confused. He subconsciously stopped Tai Jiao and said, "What happened just now was a complete misunderstanding. Don't take it to heart." "Well, if there is anything, let's go to the office and talk about it." Tai Jiao glanced at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Let's go then."
After entering the office, Li Xiuyuan made a cup of instant coffee for Tai Jiao and said, "I don't know. Do you have any important clues to report to me?" When speaking, Li Xiuyuan emphasized the words "important clues" very much. Tai Jiao naturally understood Li Xiuyuan's thoughts, but he was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he picked up the coffee and began to taste it slowly. "The craftsmanship is excellent. The taste is two levels higher than the coffee beans I bought in Ethiopia before..." Listening to Tai Jiao's words, Li Xiuyuan's face was filled with black lines, thinking: "It's just an instant coffee, is it so exaggerated?" However, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Facing Tai Jiao's praise, Li Xiuyuan could only say some humble words. Just like that, Tai Jiao talked about other things, sometimes talking about coffee, sometimes about women, and even about ATV's actor training class, which was about to start opening to the public, and he wanted to quit the industry and switch to being an actor. Some completely unrelated topics popped out of Taijiao's mouth. This made Li Xiuyuan difficult to cope with, and at the same time, his already limited patience was rapidly fading away. Just when Li Xiuyuan reached the critical point and was about to explode, Taijiao finally stopped nagging and took out a transparent sealed bag from his pocket and placed it on the table. "Commander Li, this is the important clue I mentioned. Take a look." If it were the old Thai pepper, it would never achieve its goal in this way. In the past, he was always straightforward and rarely beat around the bush. This was also the first time that Tai Jiao experienced the fun of scheming. Although this plan was not his idea, he could understand that the feeling of watching others act completely according to your ideas and plans is so wonderful. Tai Jiao then vaguely understood why Wei Long Hao was so famous in Hong Kong Island and, at a young age, was able to firmly sit in the leading position of one of the four major social organizations in Hong Kong Island. This kind of meticulous thinking alone is definitely not something that ordinary people can possess. At least, Tai Jiao had never experienced this feeling with Xiang Yan and Lin Shixia before. Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan was immediately shocked. He quickly picked up the transparent sealed bag and began to examine it carefully.
After just a few glances, Li Xiuyuan was shocked and asked in disbelief: "Is this a human nail?" "Although it's a little damaged, it should be pretty good!" Tai Jiao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Commander Li is really good. He was able to recognize this thing so quickly. After I spit it out, I studied it for a long time before I knew what it was..." Li Xiuyuan did not have the slightest bit of pride in his heart. Instead, he keenly sensed the key point from Tai Jiao's words and immediately asked, "Spit it out? You mean, you ate this thing?" Tai Jiao nodded and said, "Yes, this is exactly what I ate from the barbecued pork buns at the Eight Immortals Restaurant!" Hearing this conclusion, Li Xiuyuan subconsciously froze in place. Through this half fingernail fragment, he obviously thought of a possibility under certain logic. Although it is very shocking, what other explanation is there? The next second, Li Xiuyuan picked up the trash can beside him and started emptying the trash. The waves of vomiting sounds seemed to have a rhythm, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes gentle. When Tai Jiao heard this voice, his stomach subconsciously spasmed. Fortunately, after a night of psychological preparation, he had developed antibodies, which prevented him from vomiting like Li Xiuyuan. It’s strange to say, but at this moment, Taijiao was actually somewhat thankful. If the airplane hadn’t been so cruel, he wouldn’t have vomited like crazy. If he hadn't spit out half a fingernail, who would have thought that in this world, there are some crazy perverts who use human flesh as the filling for barbecued pork buns, and the most outrageous thing is that this guy even sells it! After a while, Li Xiuyuan reluctantly straightened up, took the toilet paper handed to him by Tai Jiao, wiped his mouth, and said, "Thank you..." Afterwards, Li Xiuyuan took another glass of water, rinsed his mouth, washed his face, and finally recovered. He picked up the cigarettes on the coffee table, took out two, handed one to Tai Jiao, and put the other in his mouth and lit it. After taking a few deep breaths, Li Xiuyuan's emotions finally stabilized. Nicotine can bring people physical and psychological comfort at certain times. "That is to say, the Zheng family of five were most likely killed and dismembered by Wang Zhiheng, and most of the bodies were chopped into stuffing and wrapped into barbecued pork buns..." After saying this, Li Xiuyuan's face turned ugly again, and his stomach began to spasm again as if by reflex. After forcibly suppressing his discomfort, Li Xiuyuan continued, "This is why we have only found some body remains so far." "Hong Kong law stipulates that there must be evidence to convict a person. Speculation is just speculation after all." "Without further delay, I will immediately take people to check the kitchen of the Eight Immortals Restaurant. I hope we can still make it in time." After Li Xiuyuan finished smoking the cigarette, he immediately stood up and prepared to walk out. Seeing this, Tai Jiao also put out the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray and said quickly: "I won't go with you. After all, you know the situation. We are all in the same club. I'm afraid that my brother will think too much." Li Xiuyuan was hoping that no one would take away the credit for this, so he said without any hesitation, "Okay, thank you very much this time." "After this case is solved, I will treat you to hotpot at the Hutchison Restaurant, which is the most popular restaurant these days. You can order whatever you want." Afterwards, Li Xiuyuan gathered the team members, a dozen plainclothes officers, and immediately went to the Eight Immortals Restaurant. Tai Jiao walked out of the door of the West Kowloon Serious Crime Unit and came to the public telephone booth at the door. After making a call, he left. Eight Immortals Restaurant.
Although it was past lunchtime, there was still a long line at the window. Wang Zhiheng packed the last barbecued pork bun in the steamer and handed it to the customer. A fat man with a round figure and a full beard came over unsteadily, knocked on the window, and said in a buzzing voice: "Boss, give me twenty barbecued pork buns to take away." Wang Zhiheng pushed his big glasses and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, today's barbecued pork buns are all sold out. There is no stock for the time being." The fat man with the beard asked again, "Tomorrow? I'll come early tomorrow. Will there be any goods?" Wang Zhiheng still shook his head and said, "Sorry, I can't guarantee this. The main reason is that we don't have the raw materials." Just as the bearded fat man was about to continue asking, Li Xiuyuan appeared with the plainclothes officers from the serious crime squad. He showed his ID to the customers waiting in line and said, "I am Li Xiuyuan, an inspector of the West Kowloon Serious Crime Squad. I suspect that the owner of this store is related to a family massacre." "All irrelevant personnel, leave the scene immediately and do not interfere with our work!" As he spoke, Li Xiuyuan restrained Wang Zhiheng, handcuffed his right hand, and handcuffed the other end to a water pipe. This made it impossible for Wang Zhiheng to straighten his back or squat completely. He could only half-squat in an extremely awkward posture, which was not only tiring but also extremely unsightly. Just like the monkeys in the circus, they please the audience in this way. "Officer Li, what crime have I committed? Why are you treating me like this?" Wang Zhiheng's face was full of confusion and grievance, and there was no sign of weakness or anxiety at all. It seemed as if he was completely wronged. Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan was even a little shaken and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is Wang Zhiheng really the murderer? Are things really as he imagined? Upon hearing this, the customers in line immediately showed shock on their faces and began to whisper. "A family massacre? I see this boss looks so gentle and polite, how could he do such a thing?" "Who knows what's going on, but this is the serious crime squad after all, they can't possibly joke about something like this, right?" "That's hard to say. What kind of people are in the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force now? If they were good people, Mr. Lin from Hutchison Industries would not have come forward to sue them..." At this time, the fat man with a beard looked at Wang Zhiheng who was shrinking a little, and then looked at the plainclothes officers of the serious crime team who were rummaging around. He was immediately a little angry and decided to stand up for the injustice. He said, "Since you say he is a murderer, why don't you show us the evidence?" "Otherwise, we will regard you as a frame-up!" The bearded fat man's words immediately received support from some people. "That's right! You must come up with an explanation!" "Even if you are the Royal Hong Kong Island Police, you can't just search a citizen's home casually, right?" "You have violated our privacy. We are citizens, but we also have the most basic rights as human beings!" You know, in everyone's eyes, Wang Zhiheng is an honest man with a very good temper. Moreover, when paying the bill, the decimal points will be rounded off for everyone. If the queue is too long, everyone will be given free side dishes. They didn't believe that such an honest man would be the murderer of a family massacre.
Li Xiuyuan pulled out a search warrant from his pocket, showed it to everyone, and said, "Look carefully, this is the search warrant!" As he spoke, Li Xiuyuan took out the transparent bag containing the broken nail from another pocket and said loudly: "Since our serious crime team dared to come to search and arrest people, this is the evidence!" "This is a nail found in a barbecued pork bun. After monitoring, we found that this nail belongs to a human!" "Think carefully about the connection between them!" As soon as these words were spoken, the originally lively scene stopped instantly and became extremely quiet. At the same time, everyone was immersed in the scene and no one noticed that an ATV news vehicle had been parked at the door for a long time. Three cameras are recording what is happening from different angles. Wang Zhiheng was immediately shocked and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but when he thought that all the raw materials had been sold out, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. In the absence of evidence, as long as he refuses to admit it, the police will not be able to do anything to him, and the court will not be able to convict him. In a flash, these thoughts flashed through Wang Zhiheng's mind, and he calmed down and became his harmless self again. Such superb acting skills are enough to make some traffic stars ashamed. Silence became the main theme of the Eight Immortals Restaurant. But the next second, a burst of vomiting sounds was heard, as if some kind of switch was turned on. Immediately afterwards, the vomiting sounds continued one after another, and an indescribable disgusting smell filled every corner of the field. Especially the fat man with a beard, he vomited the most. Li Xiuyuan turned his head away, forcing himself not to look anymore. At this time, the plainclothes officer in charge of the search came over and said in a low voice, "Mr. Li, we have searched the entire Eight Immortals Restaurant, but we didn't find any clues." "Let alone a corpse, we didn't even find a scrap of meat..." The police officers were in a low mood. It was obvious that Wang Zhiheng's cunningness had exceeded everyone's expectations. Without sufficient evidence, it would be impossible to convict Wang Zhiheng according to Hong Kong's Anglo-American legal system. Even if you know that he killed someone and chopped up the human flesh to make barbecued pork buns, there is no way to convict him. The fact that nothing was discovered made Li Xiuyuan somewhat suspicious. Could it be that Wang Zhiheng was really not the murderer? Or has Wang Zhiheng become so cunning? With such a mood, Li Xiuyuan turned his attention to Wang Zhiheng, trying to find some flaws. Just then, Wang Zhiheng also raised his head and looked at Li Xiuyuan. The two people's sights inevitably met in the air. Wang Zhiheng still looked aggrieved and cowardly, and said, "Captain Li, are you alright? Have you found any evidence?" "Now, can you let me go?" For some reason, although Wang Zhiheng's reaction seemed normal, Li Xiuyuan always felt that his eyes hidden behind the thick lenses seemed to contain ridicule and disdain. Li Xiuyuan looked at Wang Zhiheng carefully with a dark face, and said, "Take him back to the police station first." Things have developed to this point. If Wang Zhiheng is really the murderer, given how cunning he has shown, it would be extremely difficult to find evidence of his murder after this incident. In that case, Li Xiuyuan decided to take him back to the police station and interrogate him first.
190 Argyle Street, Kowloon City, West Kowloon Crime Unit. In the interrogation room. Wang Zhiheng was fixed on the interrogation chair, his hands were completely controlled by handcuffs, and even his ankles were heavily shackled. For a pervert who is highly suspected of turning people into barbecued pork buns, no matter how he is treated, it would not be excessive. Li Xiuyuan and another police officer sat opposite each other, the former was responsible for interrogation and the latter was responsible for recording. After lighting a cigarette, Li Xiuyuan asked, "When was the last time you saw the Zheng family?" Wang Zhiheng thought for a moment and said, "It should have been two months ago. I can't remember the exact date." Another police officer recorded the result in a notebook and after comparing it with the previous record, found that the answer was exactly the same. Next, Li Xiuyuan asked a few more routine questions, and Wang Zhiheng calmly answered all of them. Moreover, it is completely consistent with the previously recorded confession. "Go to the bathroom. I'll continue the interrogation when I come back." After saying this, Li Xiuyuan stood up, walked to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, washed his face with cold water, looked at his somewhat disheveled self in the mirror, and let out a long sigh. Wang Zhiheng's cunningness was completely beyond their previous expectations. According to police regulations, if there is no evidence, a person can only be detained for a maximum of 48 hours. Forty-eight hours later, Wang Zhiheng regained his freedom. It would be fine if the other party continued to stay in Hong Kong Island. At least there would be a chance to find evidence and arrest him. However, if the other party senses the crisis and flees to the mainland, there will be nothing we can do. The Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force has no law enforcement authority over the land to the north. After thinking about this clearly, a bold idea immediately came to Li Xiuyuan's mind. Once it appears, it begins to spread wildly. In the end, this bold idea occupied Li Xiuyuan's entire mind. He looked at himself in the mirror, clenched his fists subconsciously, and finally made up his mind. When Li Xiuyuan walked out of the bathroom, the previous feeling of frustration had completely disappeared, as if he had been reborn. After he sat back in his chair, he lit another cigarette. The difference is that this time, Li Xiuyuan handed one to Wang Zhiheng. Wang Zhiheng was stunned for a moment, then took it, put it in his mouth, and Li Xiuyuan lit it. Such great courtesy made Wang Zhiheng wary. Another ten thousand
