Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 121 King, Detective, Dao Goes Online
Chen Guozhong was no longer as shocked as he had been the first time that Wang Daozheng had come to see him so openly.

However, even if it wasn't the first time, he always felt a slight unease.

Are you sure doing this will prevent any problems?

Wang Dao shrugged:

You can rest assured that I can handle things well.

"How do you think I got through this?"

“Brother Kun knows I came to see you.”

Chen Guozhong was even more speechless:
"Not here, go to the usual place."

Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at their usual spot.

The Way of the King:

"You really don't need me to get you a house in Repulse Bay?"

Chen Guozhong shook his head:

"Living there would be too conspicuous."

"None of the superintendents live in places like that. If I lived there, I would just be a target for others."

Wang Dao snorted coldly:
"Then you'd better hurry up and climb up!"

Chen Guozhong smiled wryly:

"I'm fast enough."

"I haven't even served a full month as a senior inspector yet."

"If you want to rise in the ranks, you need at least a year to settle down and develop your skills."

Wang Dao stroked his chin and said:
"Is all your merit useless?"

Chen Guozhong nodded and then shook his head:

"Getting promoted to superintendent is out of the question, but getting promoted to chief inspector is possible."

Wang Dao clapped his hands and said:
"The chief inspector would also be fine."

"Then you'll be qualified to be called Big Sir."

Chen Guozhong shook his head:

"The chief inspector is just an inspector, not a police superintendent."

"And if I get promoted to chief inspector in the short term, I'll really have to stay in that position for the full three years."

Wang Dao thought for a moment and said:

"This concerns your career path, so you decide how to handle it."

"I can only provide you with intelligence support."

Chen Guozhong smiled and said:
"Your intelligence is very useful."

"You got wind of it, didn't you? I took down Big Brother and Lovena."

Wang Dao nodded and said:
"Good riddance!"

"We don't know the extent of Brother Yi's influence on Bozi. Women always have a strange feeling about their first man. Liang Kun is on the right track now and can't be distracted by other things."

"If we go back to the underworld because of Bozi, that would be a loss for us."

Chen Guozhong frowned and said:

"Do you really want to support Liang Kun on the right path?"

Wang Dao countered with a question:
"Can't you?"

Chen Guozhong pondered deeply and said:

“It’s feasible, but people like Liang Kun won’t last long without some benefit.”

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"The film and television industry is extremely profitable."

"You'll find out just how crazy making movies really is next month."

Chen Guozhong said helplessly:

"There are too many triads in Hong Kong. It's a good thing that Leung Kwan can walk the right path."

"As for the traditional gangs he secretly runs, they are nothing more than guarding the venues and collecting protection fees, nothing special."

"My current headache is still losing fans."

Wang Dao's heart stirred:
"Did you investigate the source of Long Fei's batch of heroin?"

Chen Guozhong gritted his teeth and said:

"Political Department!"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"I already said that, to foreigners, that thing isn't considered harmful; it's just ordinary cargo."

"It's still a very valuable item."

"It's impossible to get them to destroy such things voluntarily."

Chen Guozhong nodded slowly.

However, he was still very angry:
"The longer I've been in this industry, the more easily I get angry."

"There is no darkness you cannot imagine, no evil they cannot commit."

Wang Dao's expression remained calm.
"Didn't I say that before?"

"Foreigners have their own set of laws, and we have our own set of public order and good customs."

"Public order and good morals may conflict with foreign laws, but we know that this is the kind of thing that suits us."

"It's like a brothel on a 1-story building, and that stuff is actually legal..."

Wang Dao scoffed.

If dragons and phoenixes can be legalized, then what's the difference between them and stables established by traditional societies?
Wang Dao calmly said:
"Anyway, we just need to remember who we are responsible for upholding justice for."

"For me, all I need is for the residents of Hong Kong to live in peace and security."

Chen Guozhong, unwilling to continue the topic, asked:
When will Han Bin switch allegations?

Wang Dao casually remarked:
"Next month."

"Han Bin is a key figure in Hetu and is almost universally recognized as the next leader of Hetu."

"But that's just what people in the martial arts world say."

"He Tu's uncles will not let Han Bin become the head of the gang."

"With Han Bin's departure, the split of Hetu is imminent."

Chen Guozhong patted his forehead:
"It's another troublesome matter."

Wang Dao shook his head:
"It won't be too much trouble."

"It's nothing more than a split between the two factions, and the number one gang in the martial arts world will change hands."

"After combining the images, the number should be number one."

"The original HeTu was a combination of many He characters, and now it's just a return to the previous state."

"The big branches with the character '和' in their names are nothing more than He Liansheng and He Xingsheng."

"The others are not worth mentioning."

"With one in the west and the other in the east, what kind of turmoil could there be?"

Chen Guozhong shook his head:

"Fame and fortune are tempting."

"What excuse did you use to come here?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"I'm asking you for a celebratory gift."

Chen Guozhong pointed to his own worried and gloomy face and laughed in exasperation:

"Will I receive lucky money looking like this?"

Wang Dao countered with a question:
"Didn't you receive a call from your stockbroker today?"

Chen Guozhong suddenly realized:
"Are you talking about the Hongkong Land stock?"

Wang Dao exclaimed in surprise:
"You didn't buy it?"

Chen Guozhong shrugged:

"I bought a million of them."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"That's fine."

Chen Guozhong thought for a moment and said:
"I really should give you a celebratory gift."

Wang Dao waved his hand:
"Just give me a simple red envelope."

Chen Guozhong asked:
That's a profit of three million.

"According to the rules, you could get 300,000 or even more."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"You arrived a little late."

"I told you after I bought it that I made a thousand."

Chen Guozhong froze, looking embarrassed.

How could he know that Wang Dao's intelligence network was so advanced?
Once he confirmed that Wang Dao was an intelligence genius, he quickly bought in, and the stock of Jardine Matheson had already started to rise.

But there's still money to be made.

Wang Dao didn't delve into the matter further; on the contrary, he was in a pleasant mood.

"That's not bad either."

Chen Guozhong was completely bewildered:
"What do you mean?"

Wang Dao explained:
"You're a cop after all; your every move will be monitored."

"If you bought in when Hongkong Land's stock was soaring, it would be hard to explain."

"Now is the perfect time to buy."

"Although tripling the profit is still exorbitant, it's still acceptable compared to those of us who make six times the profit."

Chen Guozhong was speechless:
"You can calculate it like this?"

Wang Dao nodded repeatedly:

"of course."

Chen Guozhong now fully trusts his judgment. Since Wang Dao's actions have no problems, then there really are no problems.

"You've come at the right time. I've come across an outrageous case today."

The Way of the King:

"What case?"

Chen Guozhong's expression was solemn:
"Murder!"

"Or you could call it a rape and murder case."

Wang Dao was stunned:

"That bad?"

Chen Guozhong sighed:
"In a room at the Great Wall Hotel, someone called the police that someone had died."

"It was only discovered when the staff was doing their routine room cleaning."

"The deceased was a woman, completely naked, with her breasts cut off and her genitals smashed."

"After questioning, we learned that a man and a woman entered this room yesterday."

However, the receptionist did not recognize them.

Wang Dao frowned and said:
"In cases like this, confirming the deceased's name as soon as possible makes the investigation easier, right?"

Chen Guozhong looked serious.
"I'll have to ask you for help with this."

Wang Dao's heart stirred:
"A very special case?"

Chen Guozhong nodded slowly:
"Correct!"

"We cannot confirm the deceased's appearance."

Wang Dao stared at Chen Guozhong in shock:
"what?"

Chen Guozhong said expressionlessly:

"The murderer was extremely cruel; he cut off all the skin from one side of the victim's body!"

"Moreover, because the time of death was too long, the skin underneath had all turned white, exposing the flesh and blood tissue."

"Unfortunately, we can't even put together a complete portrait."

Wang Dao slowly said:
"The murderer must have known the victim."

Chen Guozhong countered with:

"What's the reason?"

The Way of Kings is straightforward:
"The deceased died at the Great Wall Hotel; it's not a good place to dispose of a body."

"In other words, according to normal logic, the body would have been discovered by the service staff very quickly."

"And we will receive the emergency call immediately."

"Then we can confirm the identity of the deceased."

"Once the victim's identity is confirmed, the murderer will be exposed."

"He must have known the deceased, or at least been quite close to him, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of such a method as disfiguring the body." Chen Guozhong looked at Wang Dao in astonishment.

"That makes sense."

"I thought you were only good at intelligence gathering, I didn't expect your logical reasoning ability to be so outstanding?"

Wang Dao sarcastically remarked:
"Isn't that how it should be?"

"To gather intelligence, you must know which intelligence is useful and which is useless."

"Comprehensive analysis and logical reasoning are both included."

"Didn't you ask Principal Lu about my academic performance?"

Chen Guozhong shook his head:

"What you learn in school is one thing, but whether you can apply it in practice is another."

Wang Dao didn't want to argue with Chen Guozhong about these things; when the system was activated, it had instilled a considerable number of skills in him.

One is the skill of a police officer, and the other is the skill of a gangster.

What other discoveries did you make at the scene?

Chen Guozhong shook his head:

"The deceased was naked. There was a wardrobe in the room, but strangely, when it was opened, only the deceased's bra was inside."

Wang Dao frowned and said:
"Then the other clothes were taken by the murderer."

Chen Guozhong asked:
Why did he take it away?

Wang Dao suddenly asked:

"What about the parts of the deceased that were cut off?"

Chen Guozhong sighed:

"could not find it."

"Not only did we not find these things, we didn't even find the murderer's fingerprints."

Wang Dao fell into deep thought.

This was in 1981, and DNA was still a completely unheard-of concept.

Even mobile phones were not widespread.

Forensic evidence collection is still very difficult.

Wang Dao frowned and said:
What is the room layout?

Chen Guozhong picked up a pebble and drew a diagram on the beach.

"The room was very basic, only about ten square meters."

"There was a bed, a wardrobe, a spittoon, an air conditioner, and that was about it."

Wang Dao frowned and asked:

"Is there really nothing else?"

Chen Guozhong nodded.

Wang Dao crossed his arms and said:
"Don't you find the layout of this room... strange?"

Chen Guozhong asked:
"What did you think of?"

The Way of Kings is straightforward:
"This doesn't look like a normal rest room."

"On the contrary, it resembles the layout of a brothel."

"It seems that spittoons have other uses besides catching phlegm."

Chen Guozhong suddenly slapped his thigh:
"toilet paper!"

The Way of the King:

"Are there condoms in the room?"

Chen Guozhong shook his head:

"no!"

Wang Dao nodded slowly.

"Then I'm pretty sure that the two are acquaintances, regular customers, or have some other close relationship."

"Otherwise, there would be no way the two of them would have gone without a condom."

"Actually, there's a crucial issue you haven't mentioned."

Chen Guozhong asked:
"what is the problem?"

The Way of the King:

"Where did those body parts that the killer dismembered go?"

Chen Guozhong was taken aback:
"Is it important?"

Wang Dao nodded solemnly:

"Very important."

"It's just as important as having only a bra in the closet of a room, but no other clothes belonging to the deceased."

"I suspect the deceased was wearing ordinary clothes."

"Otherwise, the front desk staff would definitely have a special impression of it."

"But you didn't specifically mention it."

"The deceased and the murderer were just like ordinary men and women, leaving no impression on the receptionist."

The hotel reception desk receives many people every day, and those with distinctive features will definitely leave a special impression.

For example, having extra physical characteristics, or wearing particularly expensive or cheap clothing, or having particularly ugly or handsome appearance...

Unfortunately, none of these apply.

After careful consideration, Chen Guozhong confirmed Wang Dao's prediction:

"What does this mean?"

Wang Dao said earnestly:
"This shows that the murderer had special feelings for the victim."

"Or it means the killer is a psychopath."

Chen Guozhong complained:

"All murderers are psychopaths."

Wang Dao said earnestly:
"You're absolutely right, those guys really are all perverts."

"However, what I mean is that the murderer had a special affection for the victim."

"He most likely took the deceased's clothes as a souvenir."

Chen Guozhong frowned deeply:
"You mean it's like a collection of war trophies?"

Wang Dao thought for a moment and then shook his head:

"Probably not."

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be more satisfying for his perverse tastes to simply collect the deceased's body parts?"

"Go back quickly and remove the rest of the deceased's body parts."

"Or you might accidentally find the killer's fingerprints."

Chen Guozhong looked at Wang Dao in disbelief:

"What did you say?"

"Are the other parts of the deceased still in the room?"

A glint of light flashed in Wang Dao's eyes:

"I'm almost certain."

Chen Guozhong pressed further:

"What exactly did you sense?"

Wang Dao said earnestly:
"If I can find the rest of the body parts in that room, I will be certain of my discovery."

Chen Guozhong turned and left, but turned back after taking only a few steps:

"Why did you come to see me today?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"That old devil Onizuka is coming to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow. I've come to confirm with you how to take him out."

"But this matter is not urgent. You should solve the Great Wall Hotel case first."

"Don't waste the golden 72 hours for solving a case."

"Once this case is solved, we'll have the time to take care of that old Japanese devil."

Chen Guozhong gave him a deep look:
"it is good!"

Aren't you coming with me?

Wang Dao rolled his eyes:
"I'm a high-ranking executive at Qiankun Films. Shall I go with you?"

"Once you've finished dealing with this, you might need Ah Zhen's help."

Chen Guozhong shook his head:

"It's best not to let her see such a terrifying scene."

Wang Dao quickly replied:
"What are you thinking?"

"Didn't the deceased have half of his face intact?"

"Have the police draw a portrait of the deceased using the symmetrical method."

"Let Ah Zhen help promote it on TV."

Snapped!
Chen Guozhong slapped his forehead hard; he was dumbfounded.

Just then, the phone rang.

"Officer Chen, we found a small card inside the bra we brought back to the station."

Chen Guozhong asked:
"What card?"

The assistant replied,
"The small cards of prostitutes."

Chen Guozhong looked at Wang Dao in surprise; his analysis was actually correct.

"You'd better hurry back to the crime scene and wait for me."

He hung up the phone and left immediately.

"Ado, contact them by phone!"

Wang Dao urged:
"Go quickly."

Chen Guozhong drove straight to North Kowloon.

That's right, the Great Wall Hotel is located near Kowloon City, a place where all sorts of people mingle. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of using Wang Dao's intelligence capabilities to gather information.

When Chen Guozhong stepped into the crime scene, his assistant was already waiting for him.

"Inspector Chen, what are we doing back here?"

Chen Guozhong instructed:

"Search carefully, see if there are any body parts!"

The assistant smiled wryly:
“My forensic colleagues have already checked everything.”

There wasn't a single piece of body in the bed, under the bed, on top of the wardrobe, under the wardrobe, or even in the spittoon.

Are you sure you're not mistaken?

Chen Guozhong was taken aback.

Could Wang Dao have made a mistake in his guess?
Do not!
The information provided by Wang Dao is never wrong.

Even if Wang Dao's judgment this time is about a murder case, he still wouldn't think Wang Dao is wrong.

Chen Guozhong stood with his hands on his hips, turning around and carefully observing the room.

Just as he told Wang Dao, the room was small, only a dozen square meters, and it was already quite crowded with just a bed and a wardrobe.

It's simply impossible to put down anything else.

However, Wang Dao insisted that the body parts were inside the room.

Chen Guozhong looked down at the solid cement floor, which showed no signs of damage whatsoever.

He looked up at the ceiling again, and there was no sign of any tampering.

Chen Guozhong frowned deeply. Could it be that Adao was really wrong?

wrong!

He always felt that he was overlooking something.

Chen Guozhong looked around the house again. There was no bed, no spittoon, no wardrobe, and the walls were empty... an air conditioner!

His pupils suddenly shrank.

It's truly a case of "blind spots under the lamp."

He had completely forgotten about the air conditioner.

Chen Guozhong pointed to the air conditioner and said:

"Find a ladder and check it carefully for fingerprints."

The assistant was astonished:

"what do you mean?"

Chen Guozhong said, enunciating each word clearly:

"The body parts might be inside!"
