Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

"Why would we need to pave a road made of sweet potatoes?" Miss Liang asked, puzzled.

“Wild boars are a problem in many parts of the New Territories, damaging crops. These sweet potatoes were probably placed here by villagers as bait to catch wild boars,” Li Fei said.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and continued walking along the sweet potato road. They then saw a huge animal trap in the distance.

“There really is a trap, and it’s very likely that a wild boar died here, which is why the flies were attracted here.”

Liang Xiaorou said in surprise.

"Xiaorou, you guessed wrong, it's not a wild boar."

Li Fei approached and said in a heavy tone.

Upon hearing this, Liang Xiaorou and Mo Shuyuan immediately stepped forward and saw a middle-aged man dead in the animal trap, his neck severed by the trap.

"The two crime scenes are so close together, and now two people are dead and one is injured. Could they be related?"

Liang Xiaorou asked, frowning.

Mo Shuyuan seemed to have discovered something. She picked up a twig, squatted down in the grass, and poked around with the twig. It was a wallet with credit cards and an ID card inside.

“The name on the ID card is Wang Zhenghong, and this wallet may belong to the deceased,” Mo Shuyuan said.

Li Fei said to Liang Xiaorou, "Report to headquarters immediately and investigate this person."

Li Fei knew this person. He asked Liang Xiaorou to report to headquarters so that Ma Guoying would know that her informant was dead.

In the original story, he is Ma Guoying's informant, helping Ma Guoying solve a large-scale drug trafficking case.

However, in Li Fei's opinion, Wang Zhenghong deserved to die. Although he agreed to help the police crack down on the drug trafficking group, he showed little remorse and continued to traffic drugs and harm others.

The person who killed Wang Zhenghong was none other than Ye Zhiwen, the clown who had just fainted.

In the original novel, Ye Zhiwen killed Wang Zhenghong to avenge his younger brother, Ye Zhiwu.

Ye Zhiwen and Ye Zhiwu are brothers who lost their parents when they were young. They have relied on each other for survival over the years and have a deep bond.

Ye Zhiwen loved his younger brother very much. He knew that as the eldest brother, he should shoulder the responsibility of raising his younger brother, so he dropped out of school early to work and support his brother's education.

Ye Zhiwu, the younger brother, was very grateful for his older brother's efforts. He knew that his brother worked hard to perform as a clown so that he could study hard and get ahead in his studies. Therefore, he studied diligently at school, focusing solely on his studies. He always ranked at the top of his class in every exam and eventually became a college student majoring in architecture.

Ye Zhiwu is about to graduate from university, and his outstanding talent has already been recognized by a large company. Ye Zhiwen is very happy, for his younger brother has a bright future, and for his brother has not let down his hard work.

But to Ye Zhiwen's utter surprise, his younger brother, Ye Zhiwu, died in a car accident before he could even enjoy the good life he had. Ye Zhiwen couldn't believe that his brother could suddenly die in a car accident.
After the initial grief, Ye Zhiwen resolved to find out the truth behind his brother's tragic death in a car accident. After making inquiries, he learned that his brother had gone to a bar with a group of classmates to celebrate his university graduation before the accident. He was drunk and ran onto the road, where he was hit and killed by a passing truck.

Ye Zhiwen couldn't believe it. He knew his younger brother was always cautious and timid. He rarely drank alcohol, let alone alcoholic beverages, much less get drunk and lose control.

Thanks to Ye Zhiwen's persistent investigation, the classmate who celebrated with Ye Zhiwu that day finally told him the truth.

It turned out that Ye Zhiwu and some classmates went to a bar that night to celebrate their college graduation. At first, they just drank and chatted, but one of the classmates brought some "good stuff" and wanted to "excite" everyone.

Ye Zhiwu certainly knew what his classmates meant by "good stuff," but he, who always followed the rules, simply refused and refused to get involved with drugs.

However, under the constant jeers of his classmates, Ye Zhiwu gradually felt a little embarrassed. He didn't want to be called a "coward" or "good boy" in public. For the sake of his self-esteem, he swallowed the pill.

Under the influence of alcohol and drugs, Ye Zhiwu and others gradually became crazy, especially Ye Zhiwu, who was originally just a law-abiding student who had never been exposed to drugs.

Soon, the bartender kicked the group of crazy young people out of the bar.

The group, already incoherent, continued singing and dancing in the road. Ye Zhiwu, in particular, excitedly rushed onto the road and was instantly hit by a speeding car, falling to the ground and dying on the spot from vomiting blood.

Upon learning the truth about his brother's death, Ye Zhiwen was furious. He hated the people who had encouraged his brother to take drugs, but he knew that the source of his hatred was the person who sold them the drugs.

If it weren't for this drug dealer, how could my younger brother have suffered such a tragedy at such a young age? Ye Zhiwen became angrier the more he thought about it, and he vowed to avenge his brother and eliminate this drug dealer, Wang Zhenghong.

Ye Zhiwen found Wang Zhenghong. Through the window, Ye Zhiwen saw Wang Zhenghong swallowing packets of drugs. He knew that Wang Zhenghong was going to transport drugs again and harm others.

Thinking of his younger brother who died tragically in a car accident, and wondering how many more families would be destroyed because of Wang Zhenghong, this drug dealer, Ye Zhiwen was consumed by rage. He strode into the house, grabbed a baseball bat, and began to beat Wang Zhenghong severely from behind.

Wang Zhenghong was suddenly attacked. Looking at Ye Zhiwen, who was gritting his teeth, he didn't understand what was going on, nor did he know why the thin young man in front of him hated him so much.

Seeing that he was outmatched, Wang Zhenghong immediately ran towards the door, with Ye Zhiwen in hot pursuit. The two of them ran one after the other into a grove of trees used for outdoor gunfights.

Ye Zhiwen quickly caught up with Wang Zhenghong, and the two started fighting again. Wang Zhenghong fought and ran away, when he suddenly crashed into a large iron cage.

Inside the iron cage were traps set by nearby villagers to catch wild boars. Looking at the sharp blades on the traps, Wang Zhenghong wanted to get away quickly, but Ye Zhiwen blocked his way.

Ye Zhiwen also saw the animal trap in the iron cage. He beat Wang Zhenghong severely, trying to force him in, but Wang Zhenghong endured the pain and held on tightly to the iron cage, refusing to go in.

Enraged, Ye Zhiwen kicked Wang Zhenghong hard, causing Wang Zhenghong to fall onto the animal trap and be immediately pierced through the neck by the sharp blade, spurting blood.

Seeing Wang Zhenghong die tragically, Ye Zhiwen finally felt at peace.

Back home, Ye Zhiwen realized that he had accidentally lost the medal his younger brother had given him during the fight with Wang Zhenghong. He had always kept the medal on his keychain; it was a symbol of his brother's love and his final tribute to him. (End of Chapter)
