Courtyard House: Why is my time-travel experience so shabby?

Afternoon, Hong Kong Island, Baishawan Villa.

The spacious and bright living room has been arranged like a temporary command center at this moment, and many people have gathered together, and it is crowded.

Hong Kong Island Police Commissioner Max, Chinese Chief Inspector Feng Jiu, West Kowloon Inspector Xiao Liao, MI6 Reike, and Lu Yan are all there.

In addition, there were a lot of blond and blue-eyed foreign police officers, as well as six agents in plainclothes.

These people all looked at Du Weiguo eagerly, obviously considering him as their backbone.

Damn it, he was already home, but he had no chance to talk about family matters. Du Weiguo looked around and couldn't help but frown and smile bitterly:

"Why are you all staring at me with big eyes? I'm not a god. I can solve the case with just a few calculations. Let's talk about the case quickly. Didn't I say that I have found clues?"

"Well, indeed, we had found some clues before you came back."

It was Uncle Jiu who stood up first. His voice was hoarse and his expression was haggard. Even his eye sockets were deeply sunken and his eye circles were dark.

Uncle Jiu is public-minded and has no selfish desires. His only thought is to protect the safety of Hong Kong Island and solve the case as soon as possible.

He has an upright character and hates evil as much as he hates evil. This serial killer who regards human life as nothing and kills one person every day has completely trampled on his bottom line and made him burn to the core.

Uncle Jiu didn't talk nonsense. He pointed at the map of Hong Kong Island hanging on the wall. The places marked in red on it were all crime scenes, covering almost the three major districts in a messy manner.

"At present, it seems that the murderer commits crimes randomly and anywhere. The time and address are not fixed, and the victims are also not fixed. They are men, women, old and young, and there are all kinds of occupations."

Having said this, Uncle Jiu left the map, strode to the table, and tapped the thick victim file:

"However, we found commonalities between the victims."

"Oh? What do they have in common?" Du Weiguo raised his brows and became more energetic.

This is a very important discovery. If we can find commonalities or connections between the victims, we can deduce the murderer's motive and make targeted arrangements in advance.

In fact, it is true that the most difficult cases to solve are often random crimes of passion.

The murderer just committed the crime on impulse, and then left the place where the crime occurred, thousands of miles away, and never even came back.

As a result, the murderer's motive for the crime could not be found at all, nor could the connection between him and the victim be found. Naturally, there was no trace.

There are no sky eyes or surveillance cameras all over the streets, and there are no clues at all. This is how most unsolved cases are formed.

Uncle Jiu hammered the file hard and said in a heavy tone:

"The common denominator is that all the victims are company employees."

This sentence may sound like nonsense at first. Except for a few bosses, civil servants and young and Dangerous people, most people in Hong Kong Island are employees or wage earners.

Du Weiguo seemed to have thought of something and frowned slightly, but he did not interrupt and waited for the next sentence.

Sure enough, the next second, Uncle Jiu suddenly raised his head, stared at him, emphasized his tone, and said word by word:

"Wesley, all the victims, regardless of age or gender, are employees of companies owned by the four major families. This beast is clearly here for the four major families."

"Four major families? Huo, Bao, Shao, He these four families?"

Du Weiguo was very keen and reacted immediately.

No wonder at the airport just now, Huo Xian and Shao Xian's expressions were a little unnatural, and they were hesitant to speak, or even cowered.

"That's right!"

Uncle Jiu's long eyebrows on his temples were raised, his eyes were uncertain, he stared straight at Du Weiguo, and his tone was sonorous:

"These are the four families who joined forces to drive you away from Hong Kong Island!"

Upon hearing this, Du Weiguo's brows immediately knitted together, his face darkened, and he looked at Uncle Jiu without giving in:

"So, Chief Inspector Feng Jiu? Do you suspect that I sent someone to do this case?"

Being called by his first name, Uncle Jiu was already very angry, and his bad temper suddenly came to the fore, and he said unceremoniously tit for tat:

"Wesley, you can't deny that this is a very reasonable assumption, right?"

"Hehehe~"

Du Weiguo laughed angrily, with a teasing tone mixed with a hint of regret:

"It turns out that in your eyes, I have always been a villain who is determined to retaliate, insidious and vicious, and will do anything for his own selfish interests.

Huo Xian and the others forced me to leave Hong Kong, but I held a grudge and asked someone to come to Hong Kong Island to murder their employees in retaliation? "

Having said this, Du Weiguo paused briefly, and his tone became more and more joking:

"But Ye Li, Ye Xi, and even Lu Yan, because they are all my people, they cooperated in acting and pretended that nothing was discovered in order to cover up the murderer.

Chief Inspector Feng Jiu, you think so, right? It seems that you are the one who most hopes that I will leave Hong Kong Island forever. "

Uncle Jiu was being teased by Du Weiguo's few words at this moment, and he lost his mind a little.

He stiffened his neck and said with a dark face:

"That's right, no matter what? People can't be above order! Let alone the law. This serial killer has such an obvious direction. Even if he wasn't sent by you, he definitely has something to do with you!"

The conflict between Uncle Jiu and Du Weiguo has been going on for a long time, and an outbreak is almost certain. The root cause is that they have different basic values.

In other words, the camps are different. According to the nine major camps in Western mythology, Uncle Jiu is considered a standard lawful good, while Du Weiguo is a lawful evil.

They seem to be similar, but in fact they are incompatible with each other.

At this time, Du Weiguo was also aroused by Uncle Jiu. He spread his hands and said in a cold tone:

"Okay, okay, if that's the case, then Chief Inspector Feng Jiu should quickly solve the case and find the murderer. As long as you can find evidence to prove that the murderer is related to me, I will plead guilty and obey the law obediently, and will never resist."

"Okay, Wesley, this is what you said! When the time comes, don't hold on to force and pervert the law again!"

Uncle Jiu was so angry that his face turned red and veins popped out on his forehead. He said a harsh word and turned around to leave, but was caught by Xiao Liao with quick hands and eyes.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense, Maimangliao's eyes were already rolling with anxiety and his forehead was sweating, but he did not dare to interrupt.

His current position is West Kowloon plainclothes detective, in charge of Yau Tsim Mong District 3, and he is definitely a well-known figure on Hong Kong Island.

But in front of Du Weiguo and Uncle Jiu, he had no place to speak at all.

Xiao Liao has been winking at Reike since just now, meaning to ask him to come out and smooth things over. After all, as the head of MI6, where does his identity lie?

But Lake looked at his nose with his eyes, and his mind with his nose, just like an old monk in meditation, pretending not to see.

This case is still defined as an ordinary serial murder case and has not been upgraded to a terrorist attack or a special type of case.

Therefore, it is still attached to the Hong Kong Island Police Station and has not been handed over to MI6. There is also some element of Uncle Nine's willfulness and arbitrary actions.

In view of this, Reike came here simply to save Du Weiguo's face today, and he didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters himself.

As for Police Commissioner Max and other foreign devils, although they all hold high positions, their professional ability is about zero. They are just backgrounds here, and there is no room for them to interrupt. "Feng Jiu, you really have a donkey temper, and your mouth is so bad. If you can't speak, just stop talking and cool off."

At the critical moment, Lu Yan stepped out to smooth things over.

Lu Yan is in his 40s this year, while Uncle Jiu looks older, but is actually less than 50 years old. They are about the same age, so they are of the same generation, so naturally they don't pay that much attention to what they say and do.

Lu Yan strode forward, pulled Uncle Jiu away unceremoniously, and stood in front of Du Weiguo:

"Wesley, don't get angry with Feng Jiu, a stubborn donkey. I have discussed this clue with him before, and I have long ruled out the suspicion that you sent someone."

"Oh? How did you rule it out? I am so narrow-minded and my methods are so cruel? Doesn't it look like my style?"

Du Weiguo was still a little angry at this moment. He glanced at Uncle Jiu from the corner of his eye and asked in a strange tone.

Of course Lu Yan knew that Du Weiguo was being petty now. Ordinarily, he was considered a big shot now, and he should not be able to show his emotions or anger.

However, Du Weiguo's grandson was not a person who played by the rules. Lu Yan could only sigh helplessly and glared at Uncle Jiu fiercely.

"First of all, Wesley, you are not the kind of insidious villain. Even if you really have a grudge and want revenge, you will do it openly and openly.

Secondly, you will not implicate innocent ordinary people under any circumstances. This is not your style. According to your temperament and methods, it is impossible to be so gentle. Even if you directly destroy the four families, it will not be a big deal.

Finally, you are a person who values ​​love and righteousness, and understands justice well. You will not really bear grudges against Huo Xian and the others, and you will even resort to means to retaliate. "

Lu Yan said a lot of nice things like a wheelbarrow, actually just to set a way for Du Weiguo, but what he said was not unreasonable.

With Du Weiguo's current status, he simply disdains and cannot retaliate against Huo Xian and the others. He also has a bottom line.

If he really had this idea, then the grass on these people's graves would be growing taller now.

"Tsk, Lu Yan, you finally said something sensible."

Du Weiguo was not originally a stubborn and stubborn character. Once he got to the top, he naturally relaxed and stepped down.

Lu Yan pursed his lips subconsciously, resisting the desire to retaliate, changed the subject, and continued:

"But Wesley, Feng Jiu is right about what he said. Although this pervert who goes around killing people cannot be sent by you, it does have something to do with you."

Upon hearing this, Du Weiguo's brows suddenly wrinkled again, and the anger that had just subsided was aroused again. His tone was cold:

"You have nothing to do with me? Lu Yan, are you out of your mind? You don't think this lunatic is trying to help me, do you?"

In fact, when Uncle Jiu mentioned this hypothesis just now, Du Weiguo quickly thought about it in his mind, and then rejected it almost without thinking.

Du Weiguo was forced to leave Hong Kong Island at that time. Although this made him extremely unhappy, not many people actually knew the inside story.

It was Huo Xian and the others who came forward, but the decision was not made by a few of them, but by the common will of the entire Hong Kong Island senior management.

Moreover, Du Weiguo did not make any overreaction and walked away calmly and decently without breaking his skin.

Finally, Du Weiguo was sure that this madman who targeted the four major families was not his subordinate, or even someone he knew.

It's not a relative, it's not a relationship, there's no reason, why do you do such a thankless and stupid thing?

Surprisingly, when Du Weiguo spoke so rudely, Lu Yan, who had always had a bad temper, didn't get angry and remained calm:

"Wesley, this guy killed ordinary people for no reason, and you said he is a madman. Naturally, the world of a madman cannot be interpreted with normal people's thinking."

At this point, Lu Yan paused for a moment. After hearing what he said, Du Weiguo couldn't help but show a pensive expression.

"Wesley, Feng Jiu and I analyzed that this lunatic should be your ardent admirer or die-hard supporter.

He didn't know from some source that he learned that you were kicked out of Hong Kong Island and received unfair treatment. He fought for you and then angered the four families and took revenge wildly. "

At the end, Lu Yan concluded:

"Although it is a bit far-fetched and sounds a bit unreasonable, this is the only motive that can be explained at present."

At this time, Uncle Jiu, who had calmed down, also added in a hoarse voice:

"Even if the four major families are enemies, it is impossible for one person to attack all four families at the same time. This is completely unexplainable."

Speaking of this, Uncle Jiu hesitated slightly, subconsciously licked his lips before speaking:

"Wesley, I was too impatient just now, lost my mind for a moment, and spoke a little arbitrarily. I know your character and would never do such a thing."

Du Weiguo was very surprised that Uncle Jiu, an old stubborn man, took the initiative to give in. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he was relieved.

This little old man's idea is actually very simple. He just wants to solve the case quickly, catch this crazy serial killer, and restore stability to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible.

For this reason, Uncle Jiu is willing to do anything, and Du Weiguo is the key to solving the case and the only reliance, so it is natural to bow his head and apologize.

"Uncle Jiu, what I said just now was not pleasant. Please be patient with me. You are fair-minded in your work. I admire you from the bottom of my heart."

Uncle Jiu sighed and shook his head:

"Hey, Wesley, let's not talk about this. Let's quickly find a way to catch this damn lunatic!"

The contradictions in front of him have been solved, and the dark clouds in the sky have dispersed. Only at this moment did Xiao Liao finally dare to speak out:

"Mr. Wesley, actually, I also found a less mature clue, maybe an idea."

Du Weiguo turned to smile at him and encouraged him gently:

"Haha, Xiao Liao, it's okay. No matter what clues you have, you can tell me. We just have to make bold assumptions and be careful to verify."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu glanced at Xiao Liao in surprise, with a trace of uncontrollable sadness flashing in his eyes, a little disappointed.

You know, Xiao Liao is a direct descendant brought up by him, but looking at his current performance, it is obvious that he has separated from himself and wants to embrace Du Weiguo's golden thigh.

But it’s not difficult to understand. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.

Uncle Jiu is a man who can be said to be upright and upright if he sounds good, but he can be described as pedantic if he sounds bad. A character like his will not work in the officialdom.

Even with the support of Du Weiguo, who sat on the throne of the Chinese Chief Inspector, he was still alienated from his relatives, out of place, and became a polished commander.

Xiao Liao gritted his teeth and lowered his head, resisting Uncle Jiu's burning gaze, and walked straight to the map:

"I found that the murderer seemed to commit crimes without any pattern, but in fact, there were certain patterns in the locations where the crimes occurred."

There was no Bai Ding present, and they were basically all experts in investigation. When they heard this, they immediately became energetic. This was an extremely important discovery and a very critical clue.

Uncle Jiu couldn't help it anymore, he scolded and asked: "Xiao Liao, why didn't you tell such an important clue before? If you had told it earlier, maybe there would be fewer victims!"

Xiao Liao knew that today was one of the few opportunities for him to express his feelings in front of Du Weiguo, and it might even be his only opportunity to take sides.

So he also took the risk:

"Chief Inspector, I only sorted out this clue early this morning. It's not mature enough, so I haven't had time to tell you yet."

Chief Inspector, upon hearing this title, Uncle Jiu could not help but sway slightly, as if he had aged several years in an instant.

Who can tell that Xiao Liao was nakedly demarcating boundaries with him.

Although Du Weiguo's face was expressionless, his eyes showed approval. He liked smart people, especially smart people who were transparent and firm, and knew whose job they were holding.

Some people may say that people like Xiao Liao are not loyal enough. In fact, this is not the case. A good bird lives in a broken tree, and choosing a boss is a technical job.

Lu Bu had several bosses, and finally died without a burial place, and was nicknamed a slave with three surnames. Zhang Liao also had several bosses, but in the end he became a famous five-son general.

Nothing is ever more permanent than this. (End of chapter)
