Red dust past

For so many years, you have been living in my wound. I have let go of the world and everything in the world, but I have never let go of you.Whether it is gradual enlightenment or sudden enlightenment, apart from life and death, there is nothing in the world that is not a matter of nostalgia

This is a bar located near the Central District of Hong Kong. It is approaching the New Year. At midnight, outside the bar, the street lamps are dimly lit, and the rain makes it yellow. The Victorian lampposts are hung with blue flowers, standing along the street. Walking around were a few people with collars turned up and hoods pulled up, the weather was extremely cold; the bar was also deserted, there were only three tables of guests, among them, two men were sitting on the train seat by the window, and one was wearing a windbreaker , one of them was wearing sportswear, with an ordinary appearance and more ordinary behavior. After eating a light meal, he began to slowly sip his beer.No one can be seen on the street lamps, flowers, or rainy streets and alleys. Don't expect anyone to stroll on the street in this kind of ghostly weather;On the small round table at the entrance of the bar, there is a man with glasses wearing a ball cap, with wireless earphones hanging on his ears, connected to the world in the mobile phone, as if he is only interested in them, occasionally, casually looking at the world outside. world.There was a large glass of cocktail in front of him, and he drank a few sips when he sat down, and it was not missing.

Under the dim light of the bar, there is a table of guests who are a little bit more eye-catching. They are sitting at a table in front of the bar. The man is a regular customer of the bar. He is a slightly fat middle-aged man with thin hair on his head. He wears casual clothes. Only the watch he wore on the wrist where he occasionally held the wine glass looked extraordinary, as if it had grown there naturally. Most of the bottle of whiskey had gone down. The female companion poured wine; after a while, the woman's behavior changed from restrained to open, she drank less than him, but seemed to be drunker than him, she put her head close to the man from time to time; the woman looked young, wearing heavy makeup, wheat The powder floating on the pale skin is already a little mottled, and the pink eye shadow on the eyelids is dazzling, without adding charm, red and swollen as if from crying, but the eyes are full of confusion.When she first came to the bar, she wore a short fur jacket with stripes. Now, as if under the influence of alcohol, she only wore a tight black wrap skirt. The clothes were revealing. The man occasionally glanced at the woman, and his expression seemed more like he was worried about the loss of the young woman. It's like losing his face and damaging his image; the woman didn't realize it, she took the initiative to pour wine for him, and then filled her own glass, and kept talking, and when she was excited, she still pouted. Kissed the man's face with his lips, this sudden action did not shock him too much, he just raised his face and squinted at the woman with a smile that was not a smile, a bit proud, a bit embarrassed; Staring at the man for a while, showing a sullen expression, he picked up the cup and took a sip, as if the man's reaction was not as expected, and his expression annoyed her even more, aroused her fighting spirit, and she became ruthless , laughed more unrestrainedly, and drank more frequently. However, the middle-aged man did not drink the wine she poured. He seemed to be a boring and rational person. He would never drink again when he was drinking properly. No matter how much the woman persuaded him to drink , he didn't drink any more, so the woman had to drink by herself; the man was obviously a veteran of the party, lit a cigarette, and looked at the drunk woman in front of him, a little worried expression floated over, after all, He didn't want to drag away a drunk woman who was unconscious, but he hoped that she would walk out of the bar by herself. No matter how interesting the romantic affairs were, he could be sure of one thing: a drunk "cat" didn't It was so interesting, but on the contrary, it was troublesome; the woman raised her face again, pouted her lips, and kissed the middle-aged man fiercely, and the man quickly avoided it.The waiter behind the bar showed a contemptuous faint smile, and he quickly hid the smile and replaced it with a smiling face, which is an appropriate and cautious expression that is ready to serve customers at any time.The expression of the middle-aged man became a little nervous. The woman continued to drink and poured wine for the man again. Her hands shook violently, and she spilled a lot. It was so full that she drank it down.The man finally lost his composure. When the woman went to hold his glass of wine and was about to drink it, he snatched the glass and put it on the table. Leaping forward, the man instinctively stepped back, she picked up the glass of wine again, lowered her head back, poured it into her throat, and after a few seconds, her body seemed to be out of control, and she leaned softly against the cup of wine. On the back of the chair, the hand slipped down involuntarily, the man hurriedly snatched the cup, the young woman's eyes became more and more dull, and finally, her eyes seemed to be fixed somewhere in the air; the man suddenly panicked and shouted: "Hurry up, someone, Call 999, emergency!" Of the two people behind the bar, one dialed the phone immediately, and the other rushed over to check on the young woman's situation. He raised his hand and touched the woman's neck artery. Put the woman down on the spot, and began to rescue. The other two tables in the store had already come over, chattering, the bar manager rushed out from the back lounge, glanced at the scene, and rushed to the door After closing the door, he immediately ran over to check the emergency situation, chatting nervously with the middle-aged man, and the scene was chaotic.A few minutes later, two police officers knocked on the door and appeared at the bar. A few seconds later, emergency personnel entered the scene and carried away the young woman. Immediately, the police officers sealed off the bar and conducted briefings on everyone in the bar. to inquire.They took away all the physical evidence, the middle-aged man's wine glass on the stage, the remaining wine, empty wine bottles, cigarette butts, etc.

A few hours later, definite news came from the hospital: the young woman was pronounced dead.The preliminary diagnosis was: there was alcohol and chloramphene in the blood, which inhibited breathing, eventually causing respiratory arrest and cardiac arrest, and died after rescue failed.

An industry secret that the general public may not know, it is best not to let the police know, that is: the police in various countries do not care much about the dead who took illegal drugs; generally they are too lazy to file a case, even if they are , is also to close the case hastily, unless it involves drug trafficking, etc.; perhaps in the eyes of these people who protect justice and maintain order, the guy who died due to drug addiction is a waste of social resources. One less, the police protect the social environment, Cleaner and nicer.When the police learned that a large number of illegal drugs with different ingredients were detected in the body of the dead woman, the possibility of murder or manslaughter was basically ruled out, and they breathed a sigh of relief.However, bad news came from the on-site physical evidence test: two wine glasses had the fingerprints of the dead woman and a middle-aged man, and the ingredients of illegal drugs were found in one of the glasses, and there was a disguised drug in the cigarette box. There are illegal drugs hidden in the small object like smoke.The middle-aged man named Zhuang Weihan admitted at the scene that the cigarette box belonged to him. The policemen's mood was as if a box of fast food was about to be finished, but they bit a stone at the last bite, which was beyond words.

However, the police still have to deal with it with all their might.An incident of alcohol poisoning or drug overdose death of a drug-addicted woman had to be classified as a criminal case for investigation. There were only two police officers at the scene, and the physical evidence was relatively complete, but all the people at the scene were released on the spot after making simple interrogation notes.And that Mr. Zhuang, at the beginning of the interrogation, he called his assistant, saying that he was assisting the police to deal with it, and he left after the interrogation, so he stayed out of the matter and avoided trouble.Only the dead woman who could not speak was left.According to the police investigation, the dead young woman named Subetta, 25 years old, Chinese-Canadian, did not work in any organization, entered Hong Kong a week ago, and checked into Room 502 of the Wenxin Hotel.Some clothing, cosmetics, and sex toys were found in the room, but no trace of smoking illegal drugs was found.About Miss Subetta, the police knew no more than the immigration officials and the front desk of the Wenxin Hotel, but her troubles were still entrusted to the police.

Now, the police have to name Mr. Zhuang as the number one suspect.Because, on the night of the accident, everyone in the bar saw that he and the deceased had drank together at the same table; drugs were found in a wine glass, and the cigarette case belonged to Zhuang Sheng himself, and the evidence seemed to point to him.Therefore, investigations into him were inevitable.

Sheriff McDowell can only take the case seriously.He had every reason to take the case seriously.The area under the jurisdiction of the Central Police Station has always been the best in Hong Kong. It is no different from Mong Kok. Major crimes such as drugs and gang fights occur frequently here; The more criminals are just petty theft.In the past three years, no one died.This time it was illegal drugs and death.And more importantly, the suspect has a very good background.It would be bad if the news got out, causing the media to hype it up, making the city full of storms, and even affecting the image of the Hong Kong police, especially the police in the area under his jurisdiction.Therefore, he quickly ordered that the police officers on duty on the night of the incident should not contact any outsiders, especially the media.On the other hand, I went out in person and immediately contacted Mr. Zhuang's special assistant, arranged for a secluded meeting room in the Wenxin Hotel, and first conducted a thorough inquiry with Zhuang Weihan.Due to his professionalism and years of experience in dealing with criminals, Sergeant Mai finds it hard to believe that Zhuang Weihan has a motive for committing a crime. When the incident happened, he asked the bar to call the police to save people, but hid illegal drugs in the cigarette case?Are you still drugging your girlfriend?This series of behaviors is very inconsistent, and does not match Mr. Zhuang's image and status.However, he thought about it again. Humans are also very complicated and boring animals. Some people are often extremely boring and do stupid things to keep the police busy, especially those rich people who have nothing to spend. It may be possible to stimulate people to give some medicine. Could it be that he accidentally prescribed too many medicines?However, why are the prohibited drugs in the cigarette packs still there?

Sergeant Mai went to Wenxin Hotel in casual clothes, and only sent special reliable personnel to follow him. As soon as he entered the conference room, he saw Mr. Zhuang waiting for him.With a nervous expression on his face, he beckoned the sheriff to sit down, gave the assistant some tea, and then left.

Sergeant Mai has known Zhuang Weihan's personal information for a long time.As for the situation in the bar that day, the two police officers at the scene had already reported it, so I won't repeat it here.

Sergeant Mai quickly went through Zhuang Weihan's personal information in his mind, in order to hook up with the nervous man in front of him; suspect: Zhuang Weihan, aged 40, lives in a private garden in Central.He is the heir of the Zhuang Group, an unknown and invisible rich man. The famous five-star hotel Wenxin Hotel was founded by his grandfather, and his father later set foot in real estate, catering and other industries. The family net worth is estimated to be 500 billion , the Zhuang family is prosperous and Ding is not prosperous, and the three generations are all single-passed. Zhuang Weihan is the eldest son, and there is a younger sister who is not married.Zhuang Weihan himself graduated from Harvard with a major in architecture when he was young, and then returned to Hong Kong with a master's degree in economics to enter the family business; he was married to Ms. Sir Lao Zhuang did not accept it, because Ms. Liang was only from a middle-class family, and he preferred another rich daughter.However, at that time, Sir Xiao Zhuang would not marry unless Ms. Liang, and his father readily agreed to his son's proposition after meeting the gentle and elegant Harvard top student.At present, the Zhuangs have a daughter who is in the process of divorce and is in separation.

"Sheriff, what's your surname?" "Oh, I don't want your surname to be Mai." Apparently, Sergeant McDowell was in a trance for a long time. Zhuang Weihan saw it and broke the silence first. He still had a shocked expression on his face and asked Said, "I heard that Ms. Su is dead, it's too unexpected." Next, it was more like a chat than an interrogation. Zhuang Weihan was obviously stimulated, and Sergeant Mai's rational and gentle eyes gave him An urge to tell.

Zhuang Weihan said: "I didn't know Ms. Su before. One Sunday afternoon before the incident, while swimming in the heated swimming pool on the top floor of the hotel, one of her bracelets fell into the water. She came to ask for help. It was me who called the lifeguard." She dived to the bottom of the pool and found the bracelet after searching for 10 minutes. After saying some words of thanks to the lifeguard and me, she left the pool area in a hurry, but later found that one of her towels was missing. I pulled it down. It made me feel that this woman was a little careless and strange. The next day, by the pool, I have to say that every afternoon from [-] to [-] is my fixed swimming time, but Ms. Su gave it to me by accident A gift, a pair of commemorative gloves from the North American Winter Ski Race last year, which surprised me a bit; I just happened to go to watch the North American Winter Ski Race last year. She seems to like skiing very much and is very familiar with the players, so I chatted with her It is more speculative, and she is obviously good at skiing; she also asked me if I will go this year? Can I help you get tickets for the finals; in fact, Wenxin Group will continue to sponsor the event next year. To put it bluntly, it was a matter of little effort, but she painstakingly begged me for help in order to get the tickets for the finals of the North American Winter Ski Race. The lady who also loves skiing, bought peripheral products, and gave me gifts, I think is a bit cute. However, I have a conservative personality, and I don’t want to reveal my identity in front of strange women. He said he would go, and asked a friend for help with the tickets, but I told Ms. Su not to worry, the ticket issue would be resolved. As a return gift to Ms. Su, I asked her out, the next night, that is, We had dinner at the French restaurant on the top floor of the hotel last night. Ms. Su looked lively and sexy, and her conversation was frank and enthusiastic, but I was a little cautious and uncomfortable, because most of the women in my circle were gentle and elegant, including my wife. "

Mr. Zhuang paused for a moment. He realized that it was more or less appropriate to mention his separated wife in front of Sergeant Mai, so he kept quiet. However, the sergeant's eyes were gentle and friendly, and he never judged him. He immediately went on to say: "It's still early after dinner, Ms. Su seems to have not finished talking, and I have more to say, so I thought of this bar, which is not far from the hotel. I used to go there often. Recently, I don’t go much at the end of the year, and I’m usually a very dull person. It just so happened that I was accompanied by a very enthusiastic lady who could chat with me. Of course, I wanted to have a few drinks. When we arrived at the bar, I drank two glasses of wine with her. Afterwards, I found that she looked very different when she was drinking and when she was not drinking. When she was not drinking, Ms. Su still had a bit of the reserve of a young woman in her enthusiastic life, which made her look very cute. After drinking, she only had hot Spicy, open, and frightening. Later, Ms. Su continued to drink by herself. Seeing that she was drinking more and more, and her behavior became more and more uncontrollable, I couldn't help but snatch her cup. However, she I drank all the wine on the table, including the wine in my glass, and in the end, something happened."Sergeant Mai was silent for a few seconds after listening, looked at Zhuang Weihan, who was a little relieved and a little embarrassed after speaking, and said solemnly, "Mr. What's more, there is a small bottle disguised as cigarettes in your cigarette case that also contains contraband. So, you are in a very..." At this moment, Sergeant Mai's cell phone rang, and he hurriedly asked the other party to go ahead. Waiting, he walked out of the meeting room and went outside to answer the call. Zhuang Weihan, who was left behind, began to sweat. After a while, he was already sweating profusely, with a frightened expression on his face. It would be like this: the day before, until eight o'clock in the evening, his relationship with Miss Su was still related to an affair; after ten o'clock, it became less romantic and became an emergency rescue.Now, after only one night, how could the plot take a sharp turn and turn into a death-related thriller; I also accidentally became a suspect or almost became a victim.

Ten minutes later, Sergeant Mai opened the door and came in. Fortunately, his expression was much more relaxed. He stretched out his hand, shook Zhuang Weihan's wet hand, and said with a smile, "You are fine for now. Mainly Our people have found the suspect. In addition, strengthen your own security protection. It is best not to go to places like bars, especially don't go on a date with a strange woman without security personnel. Goodbye! What happens in time Get in touch." Mr. Zhuang blushed and sweated even more when he said that.

It turned out that during the period when Sergeant Mai left, he received a piece of information. When he set out to see Zhuang Weihan, the police accidentally received a package, which contained a DV. The video shows: When Subeta fell to the ground and everyone was rushing to rescue her, a gloved man quickly searched for her small bag, and then put a small bottle into Zhuang Weihan's cigarette case, and another A man looked around, and after careful identification, it was the two men sitting at the window that night.Attached with the package, there are also two men's current residential addresses in Hong Kong, printed on a piece of paper, which happens to be located on the fifth floor of a residence in a building opposite Wenxin Hotel; the police quickly went to the man's residence provided by the informant , found that the two were packing their things, and they were easily subdued.A telescope for looking out was placed near the window of the guest bedroom, and illegal drugs and a series of CDs were found in the house.At this point, it is only necessary to interrogate those two smart scumbags to get to the bottom of the case.

Based on the clues obtained, the police preliminarily judged that Jiang Mou, Li Mou and Subeta who were brought back to the police station were accomplices.Jiang Buwei and Li Younan are their names.They specifically targeted rich and famous men, using Su as a bait. After getting acquainted with each other, they took advantage of the unpreparedness, drugged the drink, and then brought the victim man who was drunk and lost the ability to defend himself to Jiang's residence. All kinds of photos are posed for extortion purposes.The interrogation proceeded as usual.Jiang confessed: "Yesterday, Su Beita was in a very bad condition. When she came to our place at noon, she said she didn't want to do it. Since Zhuang Weihan was selected as the target more than a year ago, we have carried out a lot of work. If she doesn’t do it, all our investment in the early stage will be in vain. Later, after she finished eating, she smoked some of the dick she kept with us, and decided to go to the evening date again. Before leaving, she took away more than 1 yuan, saying that she was going to buy clothes for the evening."

Sergeant Mai asked, "Why did you choose Zhuang Weihan?" Jiang replied without thinking: "Firstly, it is easier to obtain. He is separated from his wife and is going through divorce. His wife lives in the United States most of the time, and Zhuang Sheng does not have any money. I didn’t live with my parents, but lived alone in a hotel. I met a woman I liked and would date for a while, but I didn’t have a fixed female partner. The year before last, I took a few friends and brought my female partner to a yacht parked in the harbor for the weekend. Maybe, I was afraid of being exposed later, and now I basically go abroad to play; the closest is to go to Thailand, and the farther away I take my girlfriend to fly to the Aegean Sea for vacation, which can avoid people's eyes and ears; Mr. Zhuang only spends time with women When we played together, there were no escorts or assistants around, and the rest of the time was available. Secondly, he was generous, and the tips for his female companions ranged from hundreds of thousands to several million." Later, Sergeant Dang Mai asked When he gave the medicine, Jiang argued again: "We didn't give Mr. Zhuang the medicine, it was Ms. Su who did it; if things went on as normal, we wouldn't do the following things at all, and it's meaningless to talk about it now ;Miss Su always had to take a few sips when she was in a bad state, and Mr. Zhuang only drank the wine she kept in the bar, so, maybe in order to get him down as soon as possible, Miss Su put some wine in his glass. A little bit of "Smurf", but unexpectedly, Mr. Zhuang didn't take a sip, and in the end, she drank it all by herself. Logically, she knew that she had passed it and couldn't eat the Smurf again. Maybe it was her wine If you drink too much, forget it. Later, we wanted to get the mobile phone, but we only found a small bottle containing the Smurfs, so we put it in Zhuang Sheng's cigarette case."

Sergeant Mai thought: These two guys will divert our attention!Buy yourself time and escape the police to escape Hong Kong.Li Younan kept his head down, but now he looked up at Sergeant Mai. Sergeant Mai stared at him, and he quickly lowered his head again. Sergeant Mai asked, "What else do you want to say. Tell the truth quickly." Li seemed bold and said, "I just want to ask, how do you know that we have contact with Ms. Su? The mobile phone we both use to communicate with her has never been used for more than a month. Her mobile phone we How did you find out our address so quickly?" Sergeant Mai felt both amused and helpless at this curious co-suspect, so he said, "Why? You are still not convinced now, you feel like you How can the small skills of a bug escape the eyes of the Hong Kong police?" "However, the Hong Kong police do not have such advanced interception methods! This time we are considered unlucky, and met a professional master." McDowell said in a rough voice, impatiently : "You don't need to worry about these, anyway, it's OK if we have a way to catch you gangsters!" In fact, McDowell knew very well that Ms. Su's mobile phone was indeed not found at the bar.Where did the phone go?What Li said was precisely his doubts: Indeed, it was not the Hong Kong police who were able to obtain the suspect's information so quickly and accurately.This also means that this professional expert has been hiding in Hong Kong for a long time, and it was in the bar that night.
