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

Chapter 1081 Sky-high price reward

Late at night, dark clouds covered the moon.

Kwun Tong Police Station, Lei Yue Mun Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon.

"Snapped!"

In the police reception hall, a young sergeant in military uniform was slapped by the angry Xiao Liao, leaving half of his face red, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

The young sheriff covered his face and looked at him in horror, not daring to resist at all.

"Pull! Are you blind? You even dared to arrest Mr. Joseph, and let the evil spirit run away! Are you tired of living?"

Xiao Liao still seemed unsatisfied. While he was yelling and cursing, he raised his foot and kicked him hard.

Xiao Liao attacked very ruthlessly and did not hold back at all. The young sheriff could not bear the pain but dared not fight back, so he could only dodge and beg for mercy.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Brother Liao, I, I was wrong. I didn't know at the time that he was a subordinate of the God of Evil. Don't hit him, don't hit him~"

Xiao Liao did not stop, and continued to kick and scold: "Fuck off! How dare you talk back!"

Logically speaking, Xiao Liao is a plainclothes inspector of the West Kowloon Police Station, and the Kwun Tong Police Station belongs to the East Kowloon District, which is not his jurisdiction, so he does not have that kind of prestige and power.

However, as the saying goes, only the seventh-rank official can get into the prime minister's door. Anyone who wants to get involved in society, especially in official circles, must rely on his background.

Although Xiao Liao is young and has climbed up from the bottom, his foundation is extremely strong.

Not to mention that he has a deep relationship with Uncle Nine, the Chief Inspector of the three districts, he is also on good terms with Rick, the head of MI6.

Just with Du Weiguo standing behind him at this moment, he can walk around Hong Kong Island with ease.

Not to mention that he just beat up a mere young sheriff in uniform, even if he slapped the chief of the Dongjiu Police Station in the face, he would have to stand at attention.

Besides, beating the sheriff is also a disguised way of helping him out. Afterwards, this guy will probably be grateful to Xiao Liao.

After all, he accidentally captured Du Weiguo's direct disciple today, and even let go of the "evil spirit" that was wreaking havoc on Hong Kong Island. If he were to be held accountable, he would probably lose his life.

"Alright, Xiao Liao, that's enough. Let's get Joseph out now."

Du Weiguo naturally saw through Xiao Liao's little thoughts, but he was not the kind of person who could not distinguish right from wrong, so he naturally would not make things difficult for a young policeman.

Besides, it was just his job and he hadn't done anything wrong. With his current shrewdness and tolerance, he didn't point it out to Xiao Liao and embarrass him on the spot.

"Yes, yes, sir."

Xiao Liao was sensible and knew that his little plan had been seen through, so he quickly responded awkwardly and then kicked the sheriff on the butt.

"That's enough, you're still pretending to be dead. Hurry up and let Mr. Joseph go!"

"Okay, okay."

Upon hearing this, the police chief felt as if he had been pardoned. He jumped up from the ground, not daring to look at Du Weiguo. He lowered his head and hurried to the back of the police station.

  It was not until this moment that the foreign chief of Kwun Tong Police Station and the plainclothes inspector dared to show up and bowed profusely to apologize:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wesley, we really don't know Mr. Joseph, and we didn't inflict the injuries on his body."

"Yeah, yeah, I know, you all go and get busy."

Du Weiguo was too lazy to pay attention to them. He just said a few perfunctory words and sent them away.

When I saw Joseph again, he had woken up and the wound on his head had been simply bandaged. Although he looked disheveled and a little weak, he had regained his ability to move and was not seriously injured.

But Joseph's face was very gloomy and his expression was full of shame.

"I'm sorry, sir. It was my fault that the evil spirit slipped away right under my nose."

When he saw Du Weiguo, Joseph suddenly became even more ashamed. He lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, and there was even a hint of crying in his voice.

Du Weiguo did not speak immediately, but first used his keen eyes to roughly check his injuries.

The ribs, humerus, and leg bones all had fractures of varying degrees, and there were some abrasions and scratches on the body, but fortunately none of them were too serious.

Only at this moment did he feel relieved and put his hand on Joseph's shoulder.

"Come on, Joseph, hold your head up, man, there's no need to be depressed when you encounter a little setback.

Besides, you did a great job today. If you hadn't acted decisively and scared the beast away, the pregnant woman at the TV station would have been doomed."

After hearing Du Weiguo's consolation, Joseph's face became better, but he still blamed himself:

"But, but, he still killed a patrolman today, and I, I could have caught him, it's all my fault, I forgot to look at the road at that time."

Du Weiguo frowned, "Okay, stop pissing yourself. It's not a big deal. Why are you talking so much? Tell me, what specific findings have you made?"

Seeing Du Weiguo's displeasure, Joseph's expression suddenly changed. He quickly put away his frustration and replied in a deep voice:

"Yes, sir, we did find it. The 'evil ghost' is a man who can turn invisible. He is over 180cm tall, very thin, and moves very slowly."

Du Weiguo frowned: "Very slow?"

Joseph nodded: "Yes, very slowly. Even with an injured leg, I can still keep up with his speed."

Du Weiguo pondered for a while, then asked, "You also said he was frighteningly thin. How thin was he?"

Joseph replied without hesitation: "Very thin, like a stick. I can't estimate the exact weight, but it is definitely no more than 100 kilograms."

Upon hearing this, Du Weiguo's eyes lit up: "Over 180cm tall, less than kg? So thin? Joseph, are you sure?"

Joseph nodded and said firmly, "I'm sure of it, it can't be wrong!"

"Okay, what else did you find?"

Joseph thought for a moment and said, "Yes, this guy is naked. He has no clothes on!"

Du Weiguo raised his eyebrows: "No clothes?"

"Yes"

"Good! Joseph, well done, you've done a great job! With these clues, this beast won't be able to escape no matter what!"

Du Weiguo hammered his palm hard and praised generously.

At present, there are not many people in Hong Kong who are over 180cm tall. What's more, this guy is extremely thin. His physical features are too obvious. As long as he shows up, he will definitely be remembered.

This guy has been wreaking havoc in Hong Kong Island for nearly a month. It is impossible for him to remain invisible. Someone must have seen him.

After a brief thought, Du Weiguo turned to Rick and ordered:

"Lake, close the island immediately. No one is allowed to enter but no one is allowed to leave! Check all the docks and ports!"

"Yes! I'll do it right away."

Hearing Du Weiguo's extraordinary order, Rick responded solemnly without hesitation, then turned around and left without saying a word.

Du Weiguo turned to Xiao Liao again:

"Notify Uncle Nine, mobilize all police officers, immediately, immediately, search the entire Hong Kong Island for suspects who match the physical description. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed rather than let go!"

Hearing Du Weiguo's murderous order, Xiao Liao couldn't help but tremble, but still replied honestly:

"Yes, sir!"

  Just as Xiao Liao was about to leave, Du Weiguo stopped him:

"Oh, right, Xiao Liao, get Zou Yaozu from Zhongyi Hall and Wang Dong from Kowloon Walled City, the leader of the three major societies, to come to me."

Xiao Liao instantly realized what Du Weiguo was going to do. It had been a long time since the black and white teamed up again. He mobilized all the dwarf mules and turned the entire Hong Kong Island upside down.

"Oh, oh, yes, sir."

At 12 o'clock in the morning, the night was as dark as ink, but the Baisha River Villa was brightly lit and full of people. As a temporary command center, the originally spacious living room was now crowded and overcrowded.

The Commissioner of Police, Uncle Nine, the chiefs of various police stations, plainclothes inspectors, Rick, Zou Yaozu, Wang Dong, the heads of the three major gangs, and the bosses of various gangs under them, a total of nearly a hundred people.

The police have already started deploying police forces overnight, so Du Weiguo doesn't need to worry about it.

Just like the last search and capture of Blood Fang, all the police officers in Hong Kong Island, both in uniform and in water, were mobilized to block the docks, ports, and various intersections and blocks.

Rick's men cooperated with the police to search high-end communities like Tiangong Villa and foreign settlements.

Du Weiguo's main task is to mobilize and command these gangs in Hong Kong Island. These short mules only obey him, and only he can make these gangsters put aside their past grudges and work together.

In the center of the living room, Du Weiguo, who was like a moon surrounded by stars, suddenly stood up, raised his arm, and slowly extended two fingers:

"Now, everyone should have heard clearly about the physical characteristics of this beast. I'm going to issue a hunting order for him. I'm going to pay two million dollars. All the short mules, go out on the streets and find this bastard!"

"Om~"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden buzzing sound like a swarm of mosquitoes passing through the area, and the leaders of the gangs couldn't help but discuss in a low voice.

"Two million, wow, that's a high reward!"

"It's not that high, right? After all, we are dealing with a 'ghost' this time, right?"

"That's right. This guy, 'Li Gui', is very evil and has disappeared without a trace. He has caused dozens of deaths in a row. He is a ruthless person. For the sake of these 200 million, he might even have to sacrifice his own life."

"That makes sense. Lord Sha Shen has always been magnanimous in his work, but he does seem a bit stingy this time."

"That's right, that's right~"

"You know nothing. Lord Sha Shen was very generous. He gave all the flour profits to support Zhongyi Hall. Before, he was driven out of Hong Kong by the four big families. He couldn't just sit back and make money. His financial resources are not as good as before~"

There were a lot of discussions below, with all kinds of opinions, but the general sentiment was that Du Weiguo's hidden trick this time was a bit stingy.

How to say it, 200 million Hong Kong dollars is definitely a lot of money nowadays. An apartment of about 70 square meters in an ordinary location costs only around 3.

With 200 million yuan, you can buy nearly 70 houses and live a stable and comfortable life by collecting rent.

However, those present were all big bosses and backbone members of social gangs, and they had all seen the world. Although 200 million was a lot for them, it was not shocking enough.

Du Weiguo now had amazing hearing, so he could hear their discussion clearly.

"Hmm~"

He just hummed softly, the sound was not loud, but it was as if a switch was pressed and the scene became quiet in an instant.

Everyone held their breath and concentrated so much that you could hear a pin drop.

Du Weiguo did not speak immediately. Instead, he took out a cigarette box, lit it slowly, exhaled the smoke slowly, and then raised the two fingers again.

The attention of all the bigwigs present was immediately drawn to him. They stared at him intently, not daring to breathe, and their ranks were fully opened.

It must be said that Du Weiguo has now reached perfection in the art of pretending to be awesome.

"I said 200 million dollars, it's US dollars!"

Du Weiguo's voice was faint, but to everyone's ears, it was like a deafening bolt from the blue.

"Hiss~" Almost everyone gasped when they heard the sky-high reward amount.

The current US dollar is pegged to gold and oil and is very strong. The exchange rate with the Hong Kong dollar is 1:8.72. If it is on the black market, it can be even higher through gold resale.

Therefore, 200 US dollars, which is about 1800 million Hong Kong dollars, can directly advance you to the wealthy class, or you can buy an entire building or hundreds of units and live comfortably as a landlord for the rest of your life.

These dwarf mules are without blood or flesh, without emotion or righteousness, and they only want money. 1700 million is enough to kill their own father.

"Okay, stop being in a daze. You all know me. I will keep my word and will never break it. Hong Kong Island is our territory.

This "evil spirit" actually dared to make trouble for Tai Sui. Go to hell! No matter what, I must dig him out and chop him into eighteen pieces."

"roar~"

As the old saying goes, there is always a brave man under a big reward. These uneducated dwarf mules were already tempted by the sky-high reward and were ready to take action.

At this moment, Du Weiguo's words of mobilization made his blood boil, and he wanted to rush to the streets with machetes in his hands.

But there were also those who remained unmoved, for example, the old fox Xiang Qian was extremely calm.

"Mr. Wesley, this 'evil spirit' dared to cause trouble in Hong Kong Island. It is unreasonable for us to sit idly by and watch."

  At this point, he paused, looked around, and then changed the subject:

"But we are all mortals, and this 'evil ghost' is not only a master with a knife, but is also said to be a supernatural being with great magical powers and can become invisible. Even if we really meet him, wouldn't we just be asking for death?"

It must be said that this old fox was well-informed and shrewd, and he got to the point right away.

"Boss Xiang, good question!" Du Weiguo gave him a thumbs up.

“According to the information I have so far, this ‘evil ghost’ is indeed a person with special abilities, but he cannot wear clothes when he is invisible, and he cannot remain invisible all the time.

In addition, although this guy is an expert with a knife, his physique is very average and his movement speed is slow, even worse than that of an ordinary person."

"Really? Wesley, is everything you said true?"

This question was not asked by Xiang Qian, but by Uncle Jiu who asked it anxiously.

  Du Weiguo nodded at him:

"Yes, it's all true. Joseph has already encountered him once before. Although he ran away in the end, he still found out all his secrets."

  After flicking the cigarette butt, Du Weiguo concluded:

"To put it bluntly, this bastard "Li Gui" is good for nothing except the ability to turn invisible. He can only bully ordinary people. Once he shows his true colors, he will be nothing but shit!"

Du Weiguo's conclusion was not groundless nonsense, but a judgment made based on the clues given by Joseph and his own analysis.

He had killed countless people, more than anyone else in the world, and almost no one was more familiar with the wounds than him. He was a little puzzled when he was looking through the case files, photos and autopsy reports.

From the victim's wounds, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion that the murderer was very weak and was suspected to be a woman. Du Weiguo even suspected Mao Aiyi at the time.

Because everyone was injured in vital parts, the wounds were almost fatal. For example, the female reporter who was stabbed to death in Kwun Tong would not have died if the wound had been only one millimeter shallow.

If the possibility of a woman committing the crime is ruled out, Du Weiguo's guess at the time was that this guy had a proud personality and had mastered the control of his strength to perfection, so he was unwilling to waste even a bit of effort.

However, with the clues provided by Joseph, Du Weiguo instantly realized that this guy was a fragile person with a weak physique, and his strength might not even be as good as that of a woman.

For a fighter like him, no matter how skilled he is with a sword, it will be useless. As long as he reveals his whereabouts, ordinary people can easily knock him down with a beating from head to face.

After midnight, Hong Kong Island, which should have been quiet, was completely boiling. Starting from Yau Tsim Mong in Kowloon, almost all the police and police officers came out in full force, and hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in a mighty procession.

Many citizens heard that it was the God of Devil who was taking the lead in catching "ghosts", so they bravely joined the team. The light of countless flashlights and torches illuminated the night sky as if it were daytime.

The old saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and it is absolutely true.

Hundreds of thousands of people conducted a carpet search, leaving no blind spots. The search was as thorough as mercury pouring out of the ground, and the effect was immediate.

In just half an hour, Du Weiguo collected dozens of useful pieces of information, two of which clearly pointed to the hiding place of the jellyfish.

Du Weiguo immediately ordered: "Tsuen Wan Pier! Lao Zou, Xiao Liao, and Rick, send everyone over there!"

"Yes!"

Ten minutes after his order was given, if you look down at Hong Kong Island from the air, you will see an incredibly spectacular scene.

In all the streets and alleys of Kowloon and the New Territories, countless fire dragons are rapidly converging towards Tsuen Wan.

  Even at sea, there were countless ships, some military, some police, and some private, with their headlights on, rushing towards the Tsuen Wan Pier!

One command! Thousands of troops came to meet, this is Du Weiguo's current appearance!
