Xie Jiahua got out of the car in a hurry and entered the hospital quickly. The jurisdiction he belongs to is the West Kowloon Region, and several cases today all occurred in the Hong Kong Island Region, which is not within his purview. But he heard that Xia Liuyi was involved in the case of the Hung Hom tunnel crossing pole, so he hurried over.
As soon as he entered the hospital area, he saw that the entire hospital was blocked, and the police officers were nervously interrogating the patients and medical staff. Xie Jiahua showed his credentials and entered, to the ward area on the fifth floor. Several forensic officers were still collecting information at the scene. The Hong Kong Island Region Police Superintendent Huang Sir, who was supervising the case, was chatting with his subordinates in a low voice when he saw Xie Jiahua, "Award! Why are you here?"
"Huang sir, I heard that Xia Liuyi, the boss of Xiaoqitang, is involved in the case. I have been investigating Xiaoqitang for more than two years, and I know him very well. Maybe I can help you."
Huang Sir handed him a pair of gloves, and the two entered the ward together. The two police corpses on the chair and under the quilt have been removed, leaving only the human-shaped corpse traces to fix the line, and the blood on the ground has not dried up. Huang Sir said with a heavy heart, "Xia Liuyi killed the two guarding police officers and escaped. The preliminary forensic examination showed that the one sitting on the chair died of mechanical suffocation, and the other suffered a severe blow to the head, causing craniocerebral injury and death. ."
Xie Jiahua put on his shoe covers and entered the scene, and carefully checked the contents of the room. He vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the two police officers sitting and lying down—if the police officer on the chair was attacked first, why would he sit and die facing the direction of Xia Liuyi's hospital bed, with no obvious signs of resistance? If he was attacked later, why did the other two fight like this, and he could still sit in the chair calmly
"Come here again." Huang Sir took him downstairs to the intensive care unit. There was a pool of blood at the door of the ward, and there was also a circle of traces of corpses.
"Do you know Qin Hao? He was transferred from you not long ago." Huang Sir took a large package of evidence from his subordinate and handed it to Xie Jiahua. Xie Jiahua saw the photo of Qin Hao above. "Here was his belongings in the parking lot. Another police officer who was on duty with him had his throat cut to death with a sharp weapon, and he and the case client in the ward were missing."
Xie Jiahua's heart froze. "What do you think?"
"Award, I must ask you carefully about this matter: Is there anything unusual about Qin Hao's words and deeds before?"
"No, I absolutely trust his character."
Huang Sir glanced at him with a complicated look, "But I heard that he was sent to Xia Liuyi as an undercover agent before, and the whole operation failed because of his major mistake."
"The responsibility for that case lies with me. It was my fault in guidance and judgment as a superior, and I also accepted the downgrade."
Huang Sir sighed, "Award, I am your father's subordinate. I saw you growing up from a young age. You are as rigorous as your father, and you are upright. I believe in your ability to do things. My trust is not given to the wrong person, I hope your Don't give your trust to the wrong person."
Xie Jiahua heard his overtones—Qin Hao and Xia Liuyi were born and died together. Not only did the undercover operation fail in the end, but he also disappeared with Xia Liuyi after killing the police. It really makes people doubt his loyalty to the police force. Xie Jiahua frowned and did not answer. It's useless to say more, he can only prove Qin Hao's innocence if he finds Qin Hao himself and finds evidence.
"We also suspect that the two cases of car explosions are related to the firefight between Xia Liuyi and the gang. There are as many as 26 dead people, and their identities have not yet been identified..." Huang Sir continued. Before he finished speaking, he received a call. "What? Something happened to the ICAC?!"
"What happened?!" Xie Jiahua felt a chill in his heart when he thought of Lu Guangming who had left his home two days ago.
…
Huang Sir left some people to guard the scene, and hurried to an ICAC office in the western district of Hong Kong Island with several subordinates and Xie Jiahua. It was the rush hour, and the roads were congested. Even if they turned on the police lights all the way, it took about half an hour to get to the scene.
A crowd of crows had gathered downstairs at the scene—there were onlookers and reporters. Inside the cordon, firefighters have extinguished the blaze and are entering the scene to investigate. However, the police officers who arrived at the same time as them were all stopped outside the building by the ICAC officers who also heard the news. A dozen people formed a group and quarreled fiercely.
"What's wrong?! What's the matter?!" Huang Sir squeezed in.
"Sir! They won't let us go in and investigate!"
"Our people have lost contact! The office has also been set on fire! Who has the ability and motive?! We are investigating the police every day for taking bribes. Who knows if it was your police?! Are you going in to investigate the case or go in to destroy the evidence?" ?!"
"Falling on the street! What nonsense are you talking about!"
"What?! Do you still want to beat people in front of reporters?!"
Both sides pushed and shoved, and the grievances accumulated over the years were about to explode. In front of reporters, the bickering turned into a fight. Huang sir shouted "Stop!", but even his glasses were swept to the ground! Xie Jiahua quickly squeezed in to help him. Outside the cordon in the distance, the flash of the camera is flashing non-stop, and tomorrow's newspaper headlines may have a good show.
"Stop!" A roar suddenly sounded outside the brawling crowd. However, the two sides fought fiercely, and no one paid any attention. Then a gunshot shook the sky! "boom!"
Both sides froze. A tall and majestic figure pushed aside the crowd and walked into the center of the fight, shouting to the police officer, "What are you arguing about?! What are you fighting?!"
The police officers were scolded to the point of stunned, and they took two steps back one after another, stood up straight and saluted, "Sir!"
The visitor turned to the ICAC, "I'm Deputy Commissioner of Police Xie Yingjie. Who is your person in charge?"
The members of the CCAC looked at each other hesitantly, and one replied, "We may have lost contact with the sir, and the superiors from other districts are on their way."
"Do you know what the missing person is doing?"
"I don't know. Some of us are on vacation, and some are logisticians. We left work on time. There should have been a few people on duty in the office."
Xie Yingjie glanced at the onlookers in the distance and said sternly to the ICAC, "You have all seen that the situation is very serious now! Today is an eventful day. A series of major cases have occurred on Hong Kong Island, affecting the public. It’s very big. If our police and integrity are fighting with each other at this time, it will seriously damage the confidence of citizens in us, cause panic in the whole city, and shake social security! Is this the result you want to see?”
The ICAC's mood was shaken and he shook his head slightly. Xie Yingjie softened his voice and reassured him, "Only the police have the ability to thoroughly investigate this case. 'First Brother' has assigned me to personally supervise a series of cases that happened today. My colleagues and I will do our best. Of course, you are also welcome. The ICAC joins the investigation, and I will communicate with your responsible person. The police and Lian are a family and serve the citizens of Hong Kong. Please rest assured, I will definitely give you and the public an explanation."
These righteous words stabilized the atmosphere of the scene and infected everyone. But it did not infect Xie Jiahua, who was watching. He suppressed the anxiety in his heart, his eldest brother held it in his hand, and was always calling Lu Guangming's number, but there was always a blind tone.
He suddenly noticed his father's slightly lame left foot when he came in, a little blood oozing from his socks. What injury would hurt that location? It's not like an ordinary sprain. He felt that everything was not as simple as it seemed—even though it seemed complicated enough.
The person in charge of the fire department ran over with the intercom, "Who are you in charge of the police? There are three bodies in the fire!"
Xie Jiahua suddenly changed his face! He turned his head and rushed into the building. Several members of the ICAC followed him in a panic, but they were all stopped by the police. "What are you doing?! You can't just go in and destroy the scene!" "Your people are also going in!" The two sides argued again, but Xie Jiahua had disappeared in the corridor.
He hurried to the floor where the office was located, donning a mask and gloves and lighting up a flashlight as he ran. There was still smoke in the dark corridor, and several firefighters in fireproof suits and gas masks stood in the room, and several detection beams hit his face.
Xie Jiahua took out the police card, "I'm Inspector Xie Jiahua!"
The other party withdrew the lights, and Xie Jiahua put on his shoe covers and stepped into the room. The disgusting strong smell of burnt stench came out, even the mask could not cover it. Under the light of the flashlight, I saw three charred corpses lying on the ground, and the burned flesh and blood were glued to the ground. Xie Jiahua resisted the stench and stepped forward, carefully illuminating the necks and chests of the three of them, and found no trace of the necklace - Lu Guangming should be wearing the Tang Jiaqi necklace.
The tight string in his heart loosened slightly. Then he opened the mouths and noses of the three of them and observed carefully, but no soot was found; the lying posture of the three did not resemble the curled state of the burnt-to-death person, and all had skull fractures, which looked like bullet injuries—this Several people died before the fire, this was by no means an accidental fire, it was a deliberate murder.
A burst of hypoxic dizziness and turbulent nausea hit, Xie Jiahua got up and stumbled out of the corridor. Before he could take a breath, his face was slapped to the side. "Snapped!"
"Do not obey orders and act without authorization! Do you still have the self-consciousness to be an inspector?!" Xie Yingjie, who hurried over to calm down the argument, shouted angrily. Behind him was Sir Wong, several police officers and an ICAC officer who came to assist in the investigation.
Xie Jiahua took off his mask, and there were obvious red marks on the face where he was beaten. He ignored Xie Yingjie and asked the ICAC officer, "Excluding you and the three of you, how many people are there in this office."
The ICAC staff turned pale, "About 40 or 50 people."
"Where's the car? How many are missing?"
"We went to the parking lot to have a look and drove away two cars. However, some colleagues have private cars, and sometimes they rent a car temporarily for disguise."
Xie Jiahua said nothing, glanced at his father blankly, turned and went downstairs to leave alone. Xie Yingjie looked at his back with cold eyes.
