Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 9 The Murderer on a Rainy Night
Liang Kun took out a wad of cash and handed it to Wang Dao.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Liang Kun patted Wang Dao on the shoulder.

"This is the money for intelligence, 100,000 dollars. I need to know the weaknesses of Mong Kok."

"Of course, if you find any information useful, you can buy it yourself."

He looked out the window, his expression somber.
"Tomorrow is the day I take office, but today there's a raging storm, it's really not a good day."

Strangely enough, the sun shone brightly during the day, but by evening, everything changed. The wind picked up, the rain poured down, and it got completely dark.

However, there are differing opinions on the kingly way:
"Brother, that means you're lucky."

Liang Kun looked at him strangely:
"I'm lucky?"

Wang Dao spread his hands:
"The weather was so nice when you were released from prison today, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get to Stanley, would I?"

"The weather was nice when we went to Brother Long's place in the afternoon, and we were able to confirm the authenticity of the news with him."

"We've done what we needed to do. Let's get some sleep tonight with the sound of rain. Tomorrow will be another beautiful day."

Handsome Kun smiled and shook his head:

"You're quite good at comforting people."

He looked around the room.

"Your place is nice."

After returning from Brother Long's place, Wang Dao took Liang Kun directly back to his home.

This is an extremely intimate gesture—I have nothing to hide from you.

Wang Dao keeps all his private belongings—those things that could reveal his other profession—in a personal storage space. His house is filled with comics, videotapes, and the like.

Of course, there's some erotic stuff in there; men are all pretty much the same.

Liang Kun casually pulled out a book with many creases, clearly indicating that Wang Dao had read it frequently.

Wang Dao said expressionlessly:
“I didn’t buy this house; it was left to me by my parents.”

Liang Kun patted Wang Dao heavily on the shoulder and changed the subject:
"I'll take up my post tomorrow, and I'll take you to register on the underwater roster while I'm at it."

“You’re my leader, you have to come this way no matter what.”

The Way of the King:

"Boss, after we get our official appointments, shouldn't we go to that legendary 'Big Boss' restaurant for a meal?"

Liang Kun was very puzzled:

What is the legendary "Big Boss Restaurant"?

He felt that after five years in prison, he seemed to have become disconnected from society.

Wang Daoli naturally said:
"Tsuen Wan has backbone!"

Handsome Kun spat:
"Why go to Tsuen Wan for a meal when there are so many nightclubs in Mong Kok?"

He shook his head and said,

"I can't go tomorrow."

"Let's go take a look later."

Wang Dao guessed:
"Will there be a meeting at the Hall of Righteousness after the appointment of officials?"

Handsome Kun said expressionlessly:
"No, I have to go to jail!"

Wang Dao was startled:
"Big brother!"

Liang Kun was extremely helpless:

"I'm telling the truth."

“It’s not just me, Gan Zitai and Xi B also have to go to jail.”

"That's just the way things are in the martial arts world."

The kingly way is both laughable and absurd, and feels quite ridiculous.
"What kind of江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) rule is this?"

Handsome Kun sighed:

"That's the rule of the police station."

"Once the elites of a large organization have taken up a position, they have to go to the police station."

"The police station will detain you for twenty-four or forty-eight hours."

Wang Dao frowned and said:
"Doesn't the company have lawyers? Can't they get her released on bail?"

Handsome Kun shook his head:
“It’s tradition.”

"If you're going to be in the martial arts world, you have to accept its rules."

"Some rules are explicit, while others are customary."

“I have to go there tomorrow; the gang’s lawyers are useless.” “This is the rod of discipline.”

Wang Dao suddenly realized:

"Just like what Wu Song went through back then?"

Liang Kun was quite helpless:

"That's right, it's exactly the same as what Wu Song went through back then."

Wang Dao pursed his lips and said:

"Boss, I'll bail you out tomorrow."

Liang Kun laughed heartily, feeling quite gratified.
"It's good if you have this heart."

"But it's not necessary, it's just a formality anyway."

Wang Dao didn't say anything, but asked directly.

"Boss, would it be better if you came out earlier?"

Liang Kun casually said:
"Of course."

"If the police can't lock me up, then who can?"

"However... that's impossible."

He put his feet on the sofa armrests and sighed.
"Ah Dao, don't think you're so great just because I'm taking office tomorrow."

"But there are obstacles everywhere!"

"The police are watching me, the company is using me as a scapegoat, and other gangs would love for me to die..."

"One step at a time, one pitfall after another."

"Damn it."

Wang Dao pursed his lips and suddenly asked...

"Then why did you want to take the position?"

One sentence made Liang Kun's mood soar:

"Of course I want to take the position."

"In this world, loyalty and righteousness are all illusions; only money is real, and only money will never let you down."

"How can you make money if you don't climb the ladder?"

Even the king laughed:

"That's right!"

"Brother, I've already prepared your bathwater and fresh pomelo leaves to ward off bad luck."

Liang Kun was taken aback:
"You've considered things so meticulously?"

The Kingly Way "openly" states:

"I'm planning to follow you, so naturally I need to be more discerning."

Handsome Kun laughed heartily:

"You're not only good-looking, but also insightful and thoughtful."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"It should."

Liang Kun got up and went to the restroom.

Wang Dao shouted from behind:
"Big brother, we will definitely be able to raise the flag successfully."

Liang Kun waved his hand; he was even more eager to establish his flag than Wang Dao.

Wang Dao didn't wait for Liang Kun and went straight back to his bedroom to sleep.

I check today's messages when I wake up.

But the first pupil suddenly contracted:
①The killer who committed murder in the rainy night has once again revealed his whereabouts. Early this morning, a female corpse was found on a beach in West Kowloon. The corpse was in a gruesome state - her genitals had been stabbed with a knife and her two large penises had been cut off. Gu Zeshen's examination showed that the murderer cut the victim while she was still alive.

A surge of anger welled up within him.

Wang Dao quickly checked the other information and soon found the murderer's name.

⑤ Last night, while working, taxi driver Lam Kwok-wan encountered a scantily clad prostitute with wavy hair. The cheap perfume she wore immediately reminded him of the trauma he suffered as a child. Stimulated by the rainy night, he felt as if he had returned to twenty years ago, the night when the young Lam Kwok-wan killed his promiscuous mother and stepfather.

⑥ Every time Lin Guoyun killed someone, he would cut off the victim's large head as a souvenir. Seven specimen bottles were placed in his residence, all containing fragments of the victim's missing body parts. A coffin was placed in Lin Guoyun's residence, containing two completely skeletal skeletons.

⑧Lam Kwok-wan was extremely twisted; he would take a photo with his victim after each murder to relive the pleasure of the moment. He had the photos developed and submitted at a photo studio in Mong Kok.

⑨ Lin Guoyun's address is [address].

⑩ A new victim appears in the rainy night murder case, which shocks the police chief and orders the West Kowloon Police Station to solve the case within a time limit. The superiors assigned the case to Chan Kwok-chung, who is very troubled!
