Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

Chapter 299 Case Closed
"Of course I know who the murderer is!" Li Fei said lightly.

"Who among the four women is it?" Liang Xiaorou asked happily.

Although she was depressed, she was still happy that the case was solved.

"It's not them. Remember Fanny mentioned Mingyue Shopping Mall?" Li Fei said.

"I think I did, but what does it have to do with the murderer?" Liang Xiaorou asked puzzledly.

Li Fei did not explain, but took out a tissue, wiped it on the steps under his feet, then picked it up and handed it to Liang Xiaorou.

At first, Liang Xiaorou was puzzled by Li Fei's behavior, but when she saw the marks on the tissue, her eyes narrowed.

"That's right, the wounds are exactly the same as those on the corpse." Liang Xiaorou suddenly realized.

Gu Zechen also understood instantly.

"Mr. Li is really amazing. You figured out something so quickly that none of us could figure out." Gu Zechen praised Li Fei.

"It was the escalator that reminded me," said Li Fei.

Now that she knew the truth, Liang Xiaorou immediately called the police station and asked Shen Xiong to notify Gao Yanbo to rush to Mingyue Shopping Mall, and then take Fanny to the mall as well.

After the fight, Liang Xiaorou and the other two also rushed over.

When the three arrived at the mall, military police had already hung banners at the escalator.

Shen Xiong, Gao Yanbo and others were already there.

Shen Xiong led people to maintain order, while Gao Yanbo led people to observe everywhere.

"Please stand back a little and don't hinder the police from handling the case."

Seeing the citizens who were watching the excitement around trying to rush in, Shen Xiong immediately took people to stop them.

"The police are investigating. If you want to go upstairs, please go that way."

"Madam, Li Sir, Gu Sir, you are here."

As soon as Shen Xiong saw Liang Xiaorou and the other two, he immediately went to greet them.

"Madam, why did you bring me here?"

Without waiting for Liang Xiaorou to speak, Fanny, who was standing next to Ling Xinyi, asked hurriedly.

"Because we have new discoveries, we need to know what the deceased did on the day of the accident." Liang Xiaorou replied.

"According to your previous testimony, you and the deceased had dinner at this mall around 7:30 that evening."

Hearing Liang Xiaorou's question, Fanny nodded and said, "Yes, we went to the Japanese restaurant upstairs. We ate until around eight o'clock and then left."

"Which road are you taking when you leave?" Gu Zechen asked hurriedly.

Without thinking, Fanny pointed to one of the elevators and said, "This elevator, that bastard made me run as soon as I got out."

"I slapped him and was about to leave, but that scumbag chased me and pulled me, causing him to fall and roll out of the elevator."

Gao Yanbo, who was working at the time, heard this and said to Mo Shuyuan and Lin Tingting, "Search carefully for that elevator. Since the deceased fell here, there should still be some of his hair."

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Mo Shuyuan and Lin Tingting immediately searched carefully for hair on every step.

"When that scumbag fell down, a security guard came over and asked him if he wanted to go to the hospital. The bastard disagreed and scolded the security guard," said Fanny.

Liang Xiaorou said to Shen Xiong: "Go and call the security guard from that day."

"Ah."

Not long after Shen Xiong left, he returned with a security guard. A police officer from the serious crime squad took out a photo of Joe and asked the security guard, "Could you please identify this person? Is he the one who fell out of the elevator last time?"

The security guard took a serious look and said, "I recognize this young man. He's tall and handsome. It was this lady who had the argument with him that night."

"I saw that Joe was fine and moving freely, so I left."

Fanny, who was called by the security guard, replied.

"Although the young man said it was okay, I was afraid he would come back and hold us accountable later, so I immediately reported the matter to my superiors for record," said the security guard.

Hearing that there was a record, which meant there was evidence, made Gu Zechen very happy.

If Joe really died from this, then Mon and Aunt Qing could not be the murderers.

"The mall has surveillance cameras, you can take it back as evidence." Li Fei reminded.

Upon hearing this, Liang Xiaorou said to Ling Xinyi, "Go to the mall and ask for a copy of the video of that day."

"Ah."

"The case is now very clear. Joe rolled down from this elevator and hit his head on the elevator steps, causing a ruptured dura mater and bleeding," said Gu Zechen.

At this time, Liang Xiaogang used white paper to collect traces of the elevator steps and brought them to Gao Yanbo for viewing.

The crowd also came forward to watch.

The marks on the white paper were exactly the same as the wounds on the deceased, and it was obvious that this was the cause of the deceased's death.

"No wonder there were dog-tooth-like scars on the back of the deceased's head and body." Liang Xiaorou said.

"I see. Sir Li is really amazing. He saw through the truth so quickly. I admire you."

Shen Xiong complimented Li Fei.

Shen Xiong has worked with Li Fei several times. To be honest, he has seen many policemen who claim to be detectives, but compared with Li Fei, they are really not good enough.

"Thank you for the compliment. I just thought about it a little more." Li Fei said lightly.

"Now the murderer has been found. The real murder weapon was the step of the escalator. The impact was very strong when he rolled down from it. In fact, if Joe had been admitted to the hospital immediately to remove the blood clot in his brain, he might not have been in danger. It's a pity that he didn't do that." Gu Zechen said.

Everyone around agreed with Gu Zechen's statement.

"According to the statements of the four women, Joe had physical contact with Aunt Qing and Sue in the afternoon, and had conflicts with Mon and Fanny in the evening. They indicated that all four women had injured Joe."

Liang Xiaorou gave a brief summary of the case.

Hearing this, Fanny was afraid that Joe's death would implicate her, so she quickly explained, "Madam, I only pushed him lightly that night. He was still alive when I left. It really has nothing to do with me."

Seeing Fanny's anxious look, Li Fei said calmly, "Don't worry. Although the four of you contributed to Joe's injury, the law is fair and will not wrongly accuse anyone. The real cause of Joe's death was his own failure to address the injury in a timely manner."

Gu Zechen also followed suit and said comfortingly, "So regardless of whether you hit him or not, the blood clot in his brain is enough to kill him."

When Fanny heard what Li Fei and Gu Zechen said, her heart suddenly calmed down and she relaxed.

With evidence from the mall environment and the confessions of the security guard and Fanny, the case of Joe's death was officially solved.

Of course, in order to close the case, the forensic department needs to verify all the evidence and then submit it to Liang Xiaorou, and issue a closing report. Only then will the case be officially closed.

Although it hasn't officially concluded yet, the four women suspected of being the murderer can be released for the time being.

However, Mon will receive some punishment. After all, she illegally handled the corpse. Although she will not go to jail, she will still be fined.

As for how much the fine will be and whether the judge will sentence you to community service, you will only know after the case closing report is submitted.
