Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

Chapter 476 Li Fei's Analysis

"You just came back and didn't know that the Rainy Night Butcher incident has caused a lot of uproar in Hong Kong recently. Citizens all over Hong Kong are complaining about the police force, and the media are reporting and exaggerating the incident. It's giving us police a huge headache. In order to restore peace in Hong Kong, our superiors hope that all police stations in Hong Kong will find the Rainy Night Butcher so that citizens can travel safely." The inspector explained in a low voice.

The Rainy Night Butcher again!

However, Li Fei understood it after thinking about it for a while.

It seems that the Rainy Night Butcher case had a profound impact on the citizens' psychology and society.

First of all, the cruel methods and serial nature of the Rainy Night Butcher case make the case itself extremely shocking.

This behavior not only causes great pain to the victims and their families, but also makes the general public feel extreme fear and anxiety.

They were afraid of becoming the next target of the Rainy Night Butcher.

Especially women, because the three dead bodies were all women.

Nowadays, Hong Kong women dare not go out at night because they are afraid of encountering the Rainy Night Butcher.

The continuous occurrence of cases has made citizens feel extremely uneasy when traveling at night. Many people choose to reduce their nighttime activities or even avoid going out alone.

Secondly, the police could not find any clues about the Rainy Night Butcher, which is also the reason why citizens complained to the police.

In addition, the Rainy Night Butcher case was exaggerated by the media, which made the citizens of Hong Kong full of shadows about the Rainy Night Butcher.

The meeting was chaired by a chief superintendent, who first stated the requirements of the General Administration for the regional police stations.

The request is simple: arrest the Rainy Night Butcher as soon as possible and bring him to justice to dispel the haze hanging over the heads of the citizens.

That's a good thing to say, but it gives the people below a headache.

Solve the case as soon as possible! We also need clues about the murderer!
Fortunately, the Chief Superintendent also knows this, so there are no strict requirements.

Then the Chief Superintendent issued another order.

Until the Rainy Night Butcher is caught, the Stormtroopers must take turns patrolling around the clock to prevent further harm to citizens in the area.

Upon hearing this, the serious crime squad, anti-gang squad, anti-pornography squad and other departments in the conference room couldn't help but smile.

Inspector Liu smiled bitterly.

Why do stormtroopers do all the dirty work?
There was no way, he couldn't refute the order from his superiors.

Li Fei didn't mind because he had already decided to arrest Lin Guoyu as soon as possible, so it didn't matter whether there was this order or not.

As long as Lin Guoyu is arrested, this order can be revoked.

Afterwards, the Chief Superintendent asked everyone to speak freely and express their views on the Rainy Night Butcher.

The Chief Superintendent sat back in his original seat, and those present began to discuss in low voices, but no one stood up.

Ten minutes later, the Chief Superintendent frowned, looked at the head of the Serious Crime Unit, then at the people in the Intelligence Department. Seeing that they all lowered their heads, he felt a little unhappy and snorted coldly, "We said you can speak freely, so why doesn't anyone stand up and speak?"

"Sir, there are too few clues in the case, and there is nothing we can do."

Looking at the gaze of the Chief Superintendent, the head of the serious crime squad said with gritted teeth.

"Where are the others?"

Everyone showed embarrassed expressions when they heard this.

"Sir, why not let Inspector Li Fei speak? He's a top detective in the police force."

Suddenly, someone suggested Li Fei.

This made the Chief Superintendent's eyes light up, and he looked at Li Fei along with everyone present.

Li Fei was confused.

He was just an inspector, the lowest position here.

Why let him speak?

"My dear officers, I don't really know much about the case. As you all know, I've taken a week off..."

"Alright, Li Fei, stop talking nonsense and tell me your opinion on the Rainy Night Butcher," the Chief Superintendent interrupted. Li Fei pondered for a moment before saying, "Let me just say a few words. Due to the heavy rain, the forensic team couldn't find any useful clues at the scene, which means our police team has nowhere to start their investigation. But there's one thing you might have forgotten..."

"The Rainy Night Butcher was able to use the heavy rain to destroy the scene, but he couldn't conceal his modus operandi."

After hearing Li Fei's words, everyone became interested.

"Li Fei, tell me in detail." The Chief Superintendent said with a smile.

"Ah."

Li Fei nodded and began to talk about the modus operandi of the Rainy Night Butcher.

"First, it's timing. The Rainy Night Butcher usually chooses to commit crimes on rainy nights, using the darkness and heavy rain to find his targets..."

"From the locations where the three crimes occurred, we can infer the occupation of the Rainy Night Butcher."

Li Fei did not continue here, but gave everyone room for imagination.

"Kwun Tong, Wan Chai, Sai Wan, these are where the three bodies were found. It's a very wide area. What kind of job covers such a large area?"

Everyone started to think about it.

“Delivery man!”

Someone raised their hand and said.

"How is that possible? The delivery driver can only deliver food to one place."

"Where's the truck driver?"

"Salesmen, they travel all over Hong Kong doing business, there are great opportunities."

"Taxi driver."

As Li Fei was listening, he suddenly heard someone talking about the taxi driver and couldn't help but look over.

Li Fei knew this person. His name was Li Xian and he was an inspector in the serious crime squad.

"Commanders, you mentioned many careers, but I think the one Inspector Li Xian mentioned offers the greatest opportunities."

Li Fei pointed at Li Xian and said.

"Taxi driver?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Although it's not 100% accurate, it does fit the characteristics of the Rainy Night Butcher's crimes. He moved quickly, making it difficult for the police to find him in one place. This is also the second method I want to talk about."

"If the murderer moves back and forth between different areas of Hong Kong, it will be difficult for the police to identify him, and the investigation will be very difficult. After all, the police station has a clear regulation that cross-district investigations require advance application."

Hearing Li Fei's words, everyone nodded at the same time.

Although cross-regional case handling is not troublesome, it does require compliance with certain laws and regulations, that is, following procedures.

After completing the whole process, the murderer had already escaped.

"The last point is the method. Forensic examination of the body revealed the presence of drugs, which means the killer must have drugged the victim and then taken her to another location where she was brutally murdered."

"Inspector Li, if you want to investigate from the drug side, I'm afraid it will be difficult, because most drugs are sold on the black market."

Li Xian frowned and said.

"Yes, it is indeed difficult to investigate the drug aspect, but since the murderer tortured the victim so much, it can be predicted that the murderer is definitely a psychopath. Perhaps we can investigate from major hospitals to see if there is any information in this regard." Li Fei said.

In the movie, it seems that Lin Guoyu also went to the hospital to see a psychologist and was prescribed some medication to treat mental illness.

Having said that, Li Fei had nothing more to say and sat back in his seat.

The Chief Superintendent led the applause, then made a summary, and then called for the meeting to be adjourned, and everyone went back to their work.
