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

After handling the Ma Zhihua case, Song Shijie returned to the normal work track of the serious crime team.

The West Kowloon District, located in the western part of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, has always been one of the areas with a more severe public security situation. It is an indisputable fact that the proportion of criminal cases is relatively high. However, it is gratifying that since Song Shijie took office on September 9, as of mid-October, except for the last fishing operation against Ma Zhihua, several murderers were shot dead by the serious crime team, and there has been no murder case against ordinary citizens in this area. Although minor illegal and criminal acts occur from time to time, it is generally relatively calm.

This situation may make ordinary citizens in the area breathe a sigh of relief temporarily, but the serious crime team still dare not take it lightly. After all, Madam Fang Jiexia has given a strict order to each team to raise the crime clearance rate of the entire district in the second half of this year. Not to mention surpassing the perennial leader Hong Kong Island District, the second place must be maintained.

Song Shijie goes to work and handles cases as usual every day. When he finally has some free time, he makes good use of it. Together with Li Zhanfeng, the team's sparring partner, he arranges a full schedule of training.

The training programs are really varied, not only the most basic firearms training, in order to reach level 5 as soon as possible, but also the exciting CQB (Close Quarters Battle) close combat training, which can train police officers' combat capabilities and reaction speed in a small space. Even mixed martial arts are not spared.

After all, it’s always good to have many skills, and the system will reward points for the skills you develop through your own practice.

Thanks to the hard training during this period, Song Shijie has raised his CQB from level 0 to level 2. The system has rewarded him with 2000 points, and his current basic points are "up to".

Song Shijie: Why can't I pay with krypton gold...

……

On October 10, early in the morning, Song Shijie and Li Zhanfeng were practicing grappling techniques in a boxing gym. Suddenly, the cell phone beside them rang.

"Boss, there's a case!" Xu Wenshi's voice came from the other end of the phone, "A murder occurred in a watch shop on Jordan Road. The owner was killed. I'm already there."

Damn, the first homicide case has finally arrived!

Song Shijie's heart sank, and he immediately changed clothes with Li Zhanfeng and set off.

……

30 minutes later, the two arrived at the crime scene.

The scene was in chaos and the police had set up a cordon.

Xu Wenshi came forward. She had already done some preliminary research before Song Shijie arrived.

"Boss, the one who called the police was an employee of the watch shop. When she was at work this morning, she found the door of the shop was not locked. She walked into the shop and saw the owner's body, so she called the police immediately."

"…The crime should have happened late last night, so there are no witnesses for the time being. Through preliminary investigation of the surveillance footage of the watch shop's two cameras last night, we found that the murderer was extremely cunning and cleverly avoided the surveillance cameras in the store after committing the crime. We have cordoned off the area around the owner's body and the damaged display cabinet, and are waiting for forensic colleagues to come and conduct further evidence collection. I have already applied to the road administration department for nearby road surveillance, and I am still waiting for a response."

Xu Wenshi basically did everything she could.

Song Shijie couldn't help but sigh once again that the number and technology of surveillance in Hong Kong are seriously insufficient. If it were to be replaced with the massive camera coverage like in the mainland in the future, as well as the support of facial recognition technology and artificial intelligence technology, these criminals would often have nowhere to hide, even if they wore masks.

Of course, no matter how much we lament, we still have to do things.

At this time, forensic investigators also arrived at the scene.

A team of professional-looking civilian staff, three men and one woman, approached. The short-haired middle-aged man in the lead showed Song Shijie his warrant card:

"This should be Mr. Song. Hello, I am senior chemist Bu Guodong, and this is my colleague You Jianbao, Jiang Zhuojun, and He Zhengmin. We are responsible for collecting evidence at the scene." (From "Forensic Heroes 3")

"Hello, Pro Sir (Bu Guodong), I have heard of you for a long time. I am Inspector Song Shijie of the Eighth Squad of the West Kowloon Serious Crime Unit. We have cordoned off the scene and tried to keep it as it is. Please come this way."

"Okay, let's get started."

Bu Guodong was not a man who liked small talk, so he immediately ordered his men to take out various professional instruments and start searching for evidence.

……

Bu Guodong led the forensic team to carefully search for evidence at the scene, and they did not miss any clues.

Song Shijie and his men continued to expand the scope of their inquiries to see if anyone in the surrounding neighbors had witnessed the details of the incident.

Soon, Bu Guodong made a discovery.

"Sir Song, the deceased had multiple stab wounds on his body, one of which pierced his heart. This is probably the fatal wound. The exact time of death and cause of death require further forensic autopsy... No murder weapon has been found at the scene, but we found a set of footprints near the body. We preliminarily speculate that the murderer was a single person."

Song Shijie continued, "Pro Sir, we just checked the store surveillance and found that more than 20 expensive watches were missing from the damaged display cabinet. The specific value of the case needs to be further calculated. At present, it seems that this is a premeditated robbery and murder case. Do you have any clues from the forensic department?"

In fact, after watching the surveillance footage, Song Shijie was able to roughly estimate the value of those watches, which was about 500 million Hong Kong dollars. After all, it was a professional deal, and there was no rich second generation who didn't play with watches.

Bu Guodong pointed to the bloodstains on the ground and said, "Based on the blood splatter trajectory, the murderer may have killed the victim while standing here. We will take the collected evidence back to the laboratory for further analysis."

At this time, Xu Wenshi came running to report: "Boss, the application for nearby road surveillance has been approved. At 1:37 last night, someone was photographed walking out of the watch shop and heading east. However, because it was dark at the time and the camera pixels were limited, we can only see a blurry figure for the time being."

Song Shijie said: "Immediately hand over the video to the intelligence team and let them analyze the identity of the suspect as soon as possible!"

As mentioned earlier, the entire West Kowloon Serious Crime Unit is divided into two groups, A and B. Group A has eight teams under it that are responsible for operations, while Group B’s intelligence group is responsible for logistical support.

After thinking about it, Song Shijie felt that it was not safe enough, so he walked a distance away before calling Luo Xiuling from CIB:

"Sister Vicky, I have a case here and I would like you to help me check something."

Intelligence Group: Are you polite?

After Song Shijie hung up the phone, he turned back to the crime scene. While thinking about the case, he continued to observe the surrounding environment.

At this time, he noticed a trash can on the roadside 200 meters to the right of the watch shop entrance.

Last night's surveillance captured the suspect walking out of the store and fleeing eastward...

Song Shijie had an idea, put on gloves, and walked over to check.

Sure enough, he rummaged around and soon found a bloodstained coat in the trash can. Inside the rolled-up coat was a dagger and a hood. Next to it was a pair of white work gloves stained with blood.

Fortunately, after the clerk reported the incident, the uniformed clerks arrived quickly and cordoned off the surrounding area, so the garbage was not cleaned up.

"Pro Sir, I have found something here. Please take it back for examination." Song Shijie did not rummage through the pile of suspected important evidence, but spoke to Bu Guodong.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. This is Song Shijie's consistent principle.

Li Zhanfeng: Yes, yes, yes, it’s very suitable for you to study CQB major in SDU in the serious crime unit.

While Song Shijie was busy investigating the crime scene, he was unaware of the impending danger. A well-planned, large-scale conspiracy was quietly unfolding, and the target was Ma Zhihua who was about to stand trial!
