Uncle Yuan knelt on the ground tremblingly, and told the past from the truth—
"The person in the photo is called 'Ajie', Hawy's sworn brother. Hawy went to the Golden Triangle when he was young and rescued a Thai man nicknamed 'King', who is now Kim Maitreya. Hong Kong has traveled the rivers and lakes, and after more than ten years, he has made some names in the road. Lao Ge, Lao Qiu, and Prince Duan are all his brothers. In 1973, Jin Mi Le fled to Hong Kong because of the mutiny of the army and defected to the army. Hao Wei, they met another detective called 'Ajie', and the three became brothers Jin Ran. At that time, as a commemoration, this photo was taken and each of them kept a copy."
"At that time, Haoway was famous for the 'three no-do's': not to abduct and sell women, not to sell 'white noodles', and not to kill people. The consequence of the principle was that we were notoriously poor at the time. Wei's wife was seriously ill and desperately needed money for surgery. Haowei was desperate, so Kim Maitreya and Applejack encouraged him to rob the bank. Only I knew about this, and I wanted to participate, but Haowei refused to let me join, saying that I My wife is about to give birth to a child. If there is no one to take care of her, she can't swim in this muddy water. Later, Ajie made a cover, and the three of them managed to grab a lot of money, but Ajie and Jin Mi Le killed a policeman. Silence. Haowei was dissatisfied with their murder, and agreed to go their separate ways after dividing the money. Jin Mile returned to Thailand, Ajie continued to be the inspector, and Haowei took us to found the Xiaoqitang. It’s a pity that his wife had an operation soon. Still dead."
"A few years later, Kim Mi Lok broke his leg to save the big drug lord Kun Zhang in the Golden Triangle. In order to repay him, Kun Zhang allowed him to represent his 'white face' transaction in the Asia-Pacific region. Kim Mi Lok sent someone to Hong Kong to find Hao Wei , wanted Xiaoqitang to be his downline in Hong Kong to distribute 'white noodles'. Hao Wei was unwilling. Jin Maitreya found me, wanted to kill Hao Wei, and supported me as the leader."
"At that time, many people on the road already knew a great detective named 'Old Shopkeeper'. It is said that the gangs he favored will be very popular, and the gangs he disliked will be severely attacked by the police. The old shopkeeper was at that time. He also sent someone to convey the meaning to me, asking me to kill Haowei and support me as the leader. I have always suspected that the old shopkeeper was the old Apple Jie, and Jin Maitreya may have found him and got his support at that time. "
"But Hawy was respected by everyone in the gang, and I didn't dare and didn't find the opportunity to attack him. It was the old shopkeeper and Jin Mile who sent someone to assassinate him, forging a traffic accident. The new leader, I don't want to stand up and choose the leader. I'm afraid everyone will see that I have a ghost. Besides, I and the other elders will definitely oppose me. Later, we unanimously elected the 'Prince' Qinglong as a puppet. Qinglong was at that time. He is still young and needs the power of our old guys to gain a firm footing. He will come to ask us for advice on anything. Among the elders, he trusts me the most, so I persuade him to cooperate with his father's 'sworn brother' Jin Maitreya. Qinglong Agreed, we started selling 'white noodles', opened chicken dumplings and gambling stalls, and paid tribute to the old shopkeeper through the detectives, and the Xiaoqitang became more and more developed..."
"Four years ago, Qinglong found this old photo in the mezzanine of the account book. He recognized that the 'King' above was Jin Maitreya, and found out that 'Jie' turned out to be the current deputy police commissioner Xie Yingjie. He suspected His father's death was not easy, ask me for proof... With Qinglong's strength, it is impossible to fight against the old shopkeeper and Jin Maitreya! There is no good end to seek revenge for them, and at that time he had already planned to 'clean up' the Xiaoqitang, I don't want to see Xiaoqitang destroyed in his hands! I informed Jin Maitreya, and I also asked Detective Hua to notify the old shopkeeper. The old shopkeeper instructed Detective Hua to kill Qinglong, and Jin Maitreya also sent a killer..."
"But Qinglong is usually very well-prepared, and Jin Maitreya's killer has been unable to find a chance to attack. I know that Xu Ying was dissatisfied with Qinglong in those years and wanted to usurp the throne, so I encouraged him to sit up, and I just mentioned a few words. It's just that he turned against himself! He got the support of Fei Qi and Inspector Hua, and then Qinglong was killed by them..."
…
He Chusan parked the car on the side of the road. Opposite the empty street is the gate of a cemetery. The path inside the gate is secluded and empty, leading to the depths of the cemetery under the dim light of the street lamps. On both sides of the trail, rows of stone sculpture angels stood high on the tombstone, quietly watching He Chusan approach.
He Chusan went up the stone steps at the end of the trail and stopped in front of a tombstone on the hillside. Lu Guangming stood there, staring down at the face on the tombstone photo that was 70% similar to himself. The tomb is a double tomb, and another tombstone photo shows a beautiful woman.
He Chusan saw the names on the tombstone: Lu Yong and Lu Liang Xiaoyan.
His investigations and speculations were correct—this was the reason why Lu Guangming was chasing Xiaoqitang.
"Are they your parents?" He Chusan asked.
Lu Guangming looked at the tombstone, "My father was a policeman. When I was six years old, he was killed in a big bank robbery. My mother suffered from depression and died soon after."
"Sorry." He Chusan said.
"It's no use condolences," Lu Guangming said. "Only by finding out the truth can the injustice be made clear."
He turned his head to look at He Chusan, and there was no smile on his face when he first saw him, "You said you have a photo to show me?"
He Chusan took out the remade photo from his briefcase and handed it to Lu Guangming. Lu Guangming looked at it with a flashlight, and his face was shocked.
"I've seen it," he quivered. "I was questioned a few years ago with the same photo. Shortly after that, the man was killed and the photo disappeared."
He suddenly looked at He Chusan defensively, "Where did you find this photo? What's behind this photo?"
He Chusan took out the back of a retaken photo, with the words "Jin Lanzhi" written on it, and handed it to him.
Lu Guangming took it and pondered for a while, "This is not the one I have seen. The words behind the one I have seen are blacked out."
"Where did you find it?" he asked again, pinching the photo.
"From Xia Liuyi," He Chusan said frankly, "this photo seems to be related to the death of Qinglong, the former leader of Xiaoqitang, and Xia Liuyi takes it very seriously. Lu Sir, can you tell me what is in the photo? Who is it?"
Lu Guangming pointed to the first young man on the left of the photo and said, "Hao Wei, the first leader of Xiaoqitang, is the father of Qinglong you just said." He pointed to the young Thai man in the middle and said, "I have not checked this person. If you are a foreigner, you should be a foreigner and stay in Hong Kong for a short period of time."
He pointed to the third young man with even more hatred, "This is my father's officer back then. He was injured in the bank robbery. When my father was buried, he came to the mourning hall to worship incense."
He Chusan took out another stack of documents from his briefcase. The newspaper clippings on the first page showed a dignified, middle-aged man in a police uniform with a high military rank.
"Then can you confirm that he is this person?" He Chusan said, "The current Deputy Police Commissioner - Xie Yingjie?"
"Of course I can confirm," Lu Guangming said sternly, "not to mention that he is old, I can recognize him even if he turns to ashes. He was 'heroically wounded' in the bank robbery, and was later transferred to O's record. He swept away underworld organizations, made extraordinary achievements, rose steadily, and finally sat on the throne of Deputy Police Commissioner, and will retire with honor next year."
After he finished speaking, he asked suspiciously, "Did Xia Liuyi ask you to come to me?"
He Chusan shook his head, "Xia Liuyi didn't know about it, you have investigated him, you should know his temperament, he would never cooperate with the ICAC, otherwise you would not come to me. This photo is taken from me. He secretly took it there. I investigated the three people in the photo and found that they seem to be related to your father's death. I think this photo should be very important to you, so I asked you out. Lu Sir, to be honest, you guessed before That's right, Xia Liuyi and I are indeed lovers..."
He knew that people like Lu Guangming had serious concerns, so he simply confessed to gain Lu Guangming's trust. He explained the acquisition of the photos, the dispute between him and Xia Liuyi, and his investigation results one by one. Inexplicably disappeared for a while, didn't know where to go, and then came back.
"... I care about him very much, I don't want him to go down the road of no return, but he hides everything from me. This photo seems to involve Qinglong's death and a very important past event. Xia Liuyi refused to tell me, but I was very want to know."
Lu Guangming said, "This matter is none of your business at first, and you must have guessed the danger. Even so, you still want to know? Xia Liu is so important to you?"
He Chusan looked at him sincerely, "Lu SIR, whether you believe it or not, I didn't stay with Xia Liu just to be with him. He's not an innocent person, but I selfishly hope I can save him. He. Anyway, I must know the whole story. I think the two of us can make a new deal - you tell me about this photo and why you're looking for the Snapdragon account book, and I'll help you get what you want."
Lu Guangming stared at him, pondered for a while, then suddenly squinted and smiled, "Mr. He is also an interesting person."
"Okay, it's okay to tell you." He said frankly.
"When my parents died, I was sent to the orphanage. At that time, there was a volunteer named Jacky. He has been helping the orphanage since middle school and has always taken care of me. He knew about my father and had always been involved in the cause of his death. Suspected. After graduating from college, he entered the Independent Commission Against Corruption and began to secretly investigate my father's bank robbery, as well as Xie Yingjie's corruption and bribery. He gradually discovered that every time Xie Yingjie was on the road to promotion, he had a major role in dismantling the triad criminal group. The cases were all accompanied by a shuffle of the underworld forces, as if a pair of invisible hands were making waves and fueling the flames, but he could not find any actual evidence of Xie Yingjie's corruption and bribery, manipulation of black and white. It started with Xie Yingjie's son, Xie Jiahua, who had just joined the serious crime team at the time. He began to approach Xie Jiahua..."
"One day, he came to me with the same photo and asked me if I knew the person in the photo, and I recognized Xie Yingjie. He told him that he found this photo at Xie Yingjie's house, and the photo included One person is Hao Wei, the leader of the triad organization 'Xiao Qi Tang', who died in a bizarre car accident a few years ago. He suspects Hao Wei and the foreigner in the photo are the robbers in the big bank robbery. And Xie Yingjie is their inner responder. My father may have discovered the inside story of Xie Yingjie's cooperation with them, and was silenced. He also told me that there is a man behind the underworld who is called an 'old shopkeeper', he I suspected that Xie Yingjie was the old shopkeeper. He comforted me, saying that he would definitely find evidence and let the truth come out."
"But just a few days later, Jacky was locked in the factory freezer, frozen to death... The murderer has not been found. I have seen Jacky's belongings, and there is no photo in them. It must have been taken or destroyed. He Xie Yingjie's death must have something to do with it!"
"I swear to find out the truth about the deaths of my father and Jacky, and to avenge them. I will arrest Xie Yingjie with my own hands, expose his true colors, and make him disgraced and repaid with blood! A few years later, I was admitted to the ICAC and continued Investigate Xie Yingjie. But this old fox has been very cautious over the years, leaving almost no traces. For all matters related to the 'old shopkeeper', a person named 'Detective Hua' came forward on his behalf, and I began to investigate further. Detective Hua, just when I was about to find some clues, Detective Hua died in a gang fight - it is said to be related to the fight between Xia Liuyi and Fat Qi - and the trace of the 'old shopkeeper' has been cut off since then."
"I began to focus on Xiaoqitang and Xia Liuyi. I found that Xiaoqitang has a leading 'account book' passed down from generation to generation. If the records in the account book started when Hao Wei founded Xiaoqitang, then it is very clear. There may be evidence that Xie Yingjie colluded with Haowei back then..."
…
in an abandoned factory.
After Uncle Yuan finished talking about the past at length, his throat was already hoarse, and he stared at the old photo sluggishly, tears flowing down the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, generating deep fear and remorse under the approach of death.
"Do you have any direct connection with the old shopkeeper?" Xia Liuyi asked him.
Uncle Yuan shook his head, "His identity is secret, and he disdains to associate with a small character like me. Although I guessed that he is Xie Yingjie, I can only inform him through Detective Hua. Later, Detective Hua died, and I also Can't get over him."
Xia Liuyi bent over to pick up the photo, and looked at Xie Yingjie's face on it - no wonder he felt familiar, this person's face was 70% similar to Xie Jiahua from O's, and Xie Jiahua heard that there was a deputy police officer. Elder Dad, the two must be father and son.
I don't know how the senior inspector with a strong sense of justice knew that the famous 'old shopkeeper' on the underworld was his father, how would he feel? What a great irony. —Xia Liuyi sneered coldly.
At this time, he recalled Xu Ying's strange eyes looking at Uncle Yuan before he died, and the phrase "I want you to never know how Qinglong died" attached to his ear, and completely understood - Xu Ying had already guessed that it was Uncle Yuan. Playing ghosts behind his back, Uncle Yuan used Xu Ying to kill Qinglong, and then he "cleaned up the door" as it should, and nurtured him who was younger, weaker, and easier to control. Xu Ying was busy and finally made wedding clothes for others. How not to hate? But Xu Ying hated him more than Uncle Yuan. Knowing that he would die, he simply kept his mouth shut and asked him to live in ignorance and hatred forever.
But Xu Ying didn't expect it, nor did Uncle Yuan expect that he grew up like a sponge when he was young, and in just a few years, he wiped out the power of the elders, and found out the truth. Uncle Yuan tied the guillotine! Uncle Yuan, Inspector Hua, Jin Mi Le, the old shopkeeper, these bastards hid behind the promise, colluded with each other to kill Qinglong and Xiaoman, and then used him with peace of mind, enjoying the profits he handed over, watching. He knows nothing about honoring them and making money for them, and he must be full of ridicule! However, the sky has eyes, and now is the time for them to pay the price one by one!
Xia Liuyi suppressed his breathing, suppressed the ups and downs of his heart, put away the photo, and looked down at Uncle Xiang Yuan, "What other last words do you want to say?"
Uncle Yuan's gray-yellow sunken eye sockets were full of begging, "Liu Liu, please, spare my family, they don't know anything."
Xia Liuyi looked at him condescendingly, without a trace of pity on his indifferent face, "Have you spared Qinglong's family?"
Uncle Yuan's eyes were instantly filled with despair! He opened his mouth in vain to say something else, Xia Liuyi raised his hand and shot! Blood splatters!
"boom!"
…
"boom!"
A loud bang resounded in the cemetery! The two people who were talking quickly bent over to avoid! He Chusan raised his head in shock and found that it was just a nearby street lamp that had blown the tube, while Lu Guangming had subconsciously blocked him, and was sprinkled with trivial dust on his head and shoulders.
The two looked around alertly, and there was no other danger, so they both stood up straight. He Chusan said, "Thank you for your bravery just now, Sir Lu."
Lu Guangming was frightened by this oolong, and most of the cold and solemn mood he had just described was gone, and he also found it funny, "It is my responsibility to protect the citizens. Or because I behaved too badly last time, let Mr. He Question my work ethic?"
"Lu SIR's professional ethics was fine, but his acting skills at the time were a bit exaggerated. If I promised to trade with you at that time, would you really tell me the information about the police undercover?"
"I'll give you a fake one." Lu Guangming smiled.
He Chusan also laughed, "Sure enough."
"Is my acting really bad?" Lu Guangming whispered to himself, and added a sentence in his heart: But why does he believe it every time
"Lu SIR," He Chusan said sternly, "You mentioned that Qinglong's father Haowei died in a 'bizarre car accident'?"
"I investigated the accident, and the driver involved 'suicide' after hitting and killing Haoway. It is very likely that he was hired to kill Haoway and then silenced."
"So, your father, your friends Jacky, Hao Wei, everyone who might have known the truth of the year died unexpectedly..." He Chusan pondered, "In your opinion, will Qinglong's death be the same as in the photo? Are the two related?"
"I also have doubts about this. On the one hand, Qinglong is Haowei's son, and maybe he was cleared after discovering the truth of his father's death; on the other hand, I suspect that the old shopkeeper used Qinglong's death to re-fight the underworld forces in Hong Kong. Shuffle: Before the death of Qinglong, the He clan was the dominant family in the underworld, and no other gang dared to compete with them. This monopoly situation is very unfavorable for the old shopkeeper. The stronger the He clan, the easier it is to get out of his In control, he needs to foster another force to balance with He's.
Qinglong is a conservative and cautious person, and the Xiaoqitang under his leadership has always been in harmony with the wells of the He clan. But since Xia Liuyi became the leader, he has an unruly and daring personality, and he is ruthless to the He clan factions and actively expands. In the past few years, Xiaoqitang has risen rapidly as an emerging force. The Shajia Gang, Hexingsheng and other gangs have successively disbanded. Xiaoqitang and Heyi Club have formed a balance of mutual restraint. I suspect that all this is what the old shopkeeper is secretly doing. disk results. "
He Chusan lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time. All the memories and clues in the brain are connected in series. He understood the mystery behind Qinglong's death, and the sentence "I want to kill them and avenge you" in Xia Liuyi's nightmare. The person in the photo is the one who killed Qinglong and his son. If Xia Liuyi risked his life and paid a huge price in Thailand to get rid of the Thai, then after returning to Hong Kong, he would most likely want to get rid of Xie Yingjie.
But how difficult is it to kill a Deputy Commissioner of Police? What a huge price to pay? How serious are the consequences? —These questions, in order to avenge Qinglong, Xia Liuyi must have ignored them! Will this ignorant, reckless underworld even hold the determination to burn all jade and stone and perish together
A chill spread along He Chusan's spine and rushed to his brain. He secretly clenched his fists.
- Don't you take your own life seriously? Then I will pump your tendons and pull out your teeth! I'll kill your prey for you!
He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said calmly, "Lu SIR, thank you for your honesty. I understand your purpose, but I think you are going in the wrong direction. Even if the dragon head you mentioned really exists. The account book, the account book really records the transaction between Xie Yingjie and Hao Wei, and Hao Wei is already dead, and there is no evidence of his death, so it must be hard to believe in court based on just one record."
He looked at Lu Guangming, his eyes that were as deep as black water pools flickered with stars, "I have another way to make Xie Yingjie ruin his reputation and pay his debts with blood."
