Crossing Hong Kong to be a police officer, but the system is wrong

Liang Xiaorou came to Song Shijie this time to ask him for help to see if he could find an informant to find out whether this batch of diamonds has been released on the black market recently.

Song Shijie listened to Liang Xiaorou's narration quietly. After thinking for a while, he asked Liang Xiaorou a question:

"Since you suspect him of being the murderer, then he has been lying in the hospital receiving treatment these days, so naturally he has no chance to go out and disperse the goods by himself. Then wouldn't it be enough to investigate all the people who have had contact with him since he was admitted to the hospital?"

Liang Xiaorou smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think we can't think of it? The problem is, from the moment we received the alarm and intervened in the investigation, we sent an ambulance from the crime scene to take Tan Weisheng to the hospital. All the medical staff and drivers on the ambulance, as well as the doctors and nurses who performed the operation on him, and even all the patients who came in and out of the same ward in the past few days, their families, etc., all had the opportunity to come into contact with him and transfer the diamonds. This scope is too large, and it is difficult to verify in a short period of time. After all, we did not lock Tan Weisheng as a suspect at the beginning, and we did not monitor him."

After listening to this, Song Shijie felt that what Liang Xiaorou said made sense, and he even added a group that Liang Xiaorou had not mentioned in his mind - all the police officers handling the case.

After all, money can move people. Now it is 2004 and the marketing myth of diamonds has not yet been shattered. 47 diamonds are a huge fortune that is enough to arouse the greed of many people.

"Ah Jet, I know you're busy too, but you also know what the current situation is like. This vicious family murder case has a huge impact, and the higher-ups have ordered us to solve the case within a limited time. We're under a lot of pressure, so I have to shamelessly ask you, my old classmate, for help."

It can be seen that Liang Xiaorou rarely asks others for help, and she seemed very embarrassed at this moment.

Song Shijie had heard of this case, of course, but it was handled by the serious crime team, so he hadn't paid much attention to it before. He didn't expect this case to be so tortuous and bizarre. If it weren't for Liang Xiaorou's team and the forensic doctor, the forensic evidence would not have been able to identify the suspect.

Song Shijie decided to agree to Liang Xiaorou. After all, as a policeman, he would not allow such a conscienceless beast to go unpunished:

"Okay, I'll help you find out as soon as possible, but I can't guarantee any results. As you know, the situation has been very tense recently, and few people dare to take over such a hot commodity at this time."

"Thank you, Jet!"

"We are all police officers, you are welcome."

……

Song Shijie kept his promise. After saying goodbye to Liang Xiaorou, he immediately called the team members and asked them to help collect information and see if such a batch of stolen goods had been released on the market.

He also mobilized all the informants he had contacted during this period to see if he could find any clues.

After half a day, there were some news, but all of them were just attempts to take advantage of the situation to defraud informants.

Don’t think that gangsters dare not cheat the police. For money, these scumbags will do anything.

Unfortunately, with Song Shijie's cleverness, this kind of meaningless news obviously could not fool him.

After having a "cordial exchange" with several gangsters who wanted to defraud informant fees in some blind spots of surveillance cameras, making the other party cry out: "Sir Song, I won't dare to do it again next time...", seeing that there was no response from the gangsters, Song Shijie had to go in person to find a few brokers who were said to sometimes accept goods of unknown origin.

As for why they didn't look for these people in the first place? After all, they don't steal or rob, and they never dare to touch drugs or arms. They just accept "parallel imports" and "smuggled goods (stolen goods)" as middlemen to make a profit, and it's not easy to make a living.

Song Shijie also knew that if the water was too clear, there would be no fish. Sometimes these people could provide him with some clues, and he didn't want to be too drastic.

For those in this business, eyesight is very important. They know that this is an extraordinary period. If Song Shijie has come knocking on their door and they really have received this batch of goods, the brokers would not dare to hide it no matter what.

In the end, Song Shijie had no choice but to admit that it seemed that this batch of diamonds really did not flow into the black market.

After working hard until the evening, Song Shijie gained nothing, so he randomly found a food stall and ate some tofu and pork belly rice.

After a cigarette after dinner, Song Shijie rethought it. According to the current situation, he came to two conclusions:

Because the serious crime department had conducted a detailed inspection of all of Tan Weisheng's personal belongings and confirmed that the diamond was not on him.

Or, someone may have secretly moved the diamonds and is not in a hurry to sell them, waiting until the storm has died down.

Otherwise, the diamond could have been at the crime scene but hidden so well that the police officer in charge of collecting evidence at the time failed to find it.

The former can only be checked slowly, and the latter...

Thinking of this, Song Shijie immediately called Liang Xiaorou:

"Xiao Rou, I checked and that batch of diamonds should not have flowed out of the black market for the time being. I have an idea. Can you call the forensic doctor and we go to the crime scene together to search again?"

……

An hour later, Liang Xiaorou met a fat forensic officer and Song Shijie downstairs at the crime scene.

"Jet, this is Gao Yanbo, a senior chemist in the Forensic Department."

Liang Xiaorou introduced Gao Yanbo's identity to Song Shijie.

Song Shijie stepped forward and shook his hand: "Hello, Sir Gao, I am CIB Inspector Song Shijie."

Gao Yanbo did not have the problem of some senior intellectuals who were arrogant and looked down on others. He smiled and shook hands with Song Shijie:

"Sir Song, I've read the police report. I've heard of you. Thank you for coming with us to the scene so late at night."

……

The three men put on gloves and shoe covers and carefully stepped into the crime scene that had been cordoned off by the police.

There were obvious signs of a fight at the scene, with furniture lying in disarray, the safe open, and several pools of dried blood splattered on the floor and walls.

Several human outlines drawn in chalk show the location of the deceased at the time of death, as well as traces at the scene such as shoe prints, all of which have been circled and marked with various number cards by forensic personnel.

Of course, Song Shijie was not here to investigate a murder case. Since Liang Xiaorou, Gao Yanbo and others had already identified the suspect, he no longer paid attention to the various traces and clues at the scene.

Liang Xiaorou and Gao Yanbo simply repeated their reasoning process to Song Shijie and stopped talking.

Song Shijie carefully checked the entire villa from the hall to the rooms and bathroom, even the flower pots on the rooftop, but in the end he found nothing.

He believed in the professionalism of the forensic personnel. After all, from what Gao Yanbo had just recounted, they were racing against time on the day of the crime to "rescue" the murder weapon and other evidence from the garbage truck.

I searched the entire house thoroughly, inside and out, but still couldn't find it. Could this really be the legendary "the darkest place is under the lamp"?

Thinking that it was dark under the lamp, Song Shijie had an idea and suddenly stared at the goldfish tank placed in the middle of the hall.

Many Hong Kong people believe in Feng Shui and numerology, so it is normal to have a so-called Feng Shui fish tank at home. In addition, this fish tank was not damaged and not stained with any blood, so the forensic personnel did not touch it again after a simple collection.

After all, the person is dead, and it is a bit disrespectful to destroy the feng shui fish of the deceased. At worst, the fish can be sent to the Agriculture and Fisheries Department for disposal after the case is closed.

There is definitely a blind spot in this fish tank!

Thinking of this, Song Shijie no longer hesitated, took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and reached into the fish tank...

"found it."

A few seconds later, Song Shijie stretched out his wet gloved right hand, holding a black velvet bag.

After wiping his hands with a tissue, Song Shijie carefully poured out the contents of the velvet bag, which turned out to be dozens of diamonds!

Liang Xiaorou and Gao Yanbo looked at each other, both with joy on their faces.

"Mr. Gao, you seemed to have said that Tan Weisheng was immediately sent to the hospital after the murder, and his original clothes have been kept in your forensic department, right?"

Gao Yanbo understood immediately: "Everywhere you go, you leave a trace. We mainly did a blood test before, and didn't do any other tests. I will go back immediately. As long as we can prove that Tan Weisheng touched the bottom of the goldfish tank that day, he will not be able to turn this case around!"

Song Shijie gave a friendly reminder: "Xiao Rou, I personally suggest that when you record his statement, remember to ask him whether he had touched the goldfish tank on the day of the incident. I guess he will instinctively not admit it, and then he will not even have the excuse that he had touched the fish tank because he helped change the water."

(Spoiler alert, the protagonist will leave the CIB Novice Village and go to the Serious Crime Unit)
