Started from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 103 [Watching and Not Letting Go]

Li Wendi left the police station in a very cool manner, but Zhao Wanying had a worried look on her face. She didn't know whether Li Wendi was really involved in the murder. If so, she would be an accomplice, which went against her life principles.

In the interrogation room, Chief Inspector Zhang Wenhuai had a heavy expression on his face. He was not afraid of Li Wendi and Zhao Wanying, but he was afraid of the power behind Zhao Wanying. The people in the Law Department of Hong Kong University were all the best in Hong Kong's judicial community. If these people reported the matter to the higher-ups, he would inevitably be reprimanded, and he was still thinking about getting promoted.

"Lin Jianye, don't get involved in Lin Jianmin's case anymore. I'm allowing you to go home and rest for a while." Zhang Wenhuai said, "Be careful and don't cause me any trouble."

"Sheriff, I don't want to rest. I still need to report to my brother."

Zhang Wenhuai immediately interrupted Lin Jianye and said, "This is an order, not a discussion with you. You should know who Li Wendi is. Be careful. If they dare to kill your brother, don't they dare to touch you? They are just choosing a scapegoat."

Lin Jianye clenched his fists, his face was ferocious, and he gritted his teeth but could not utter a word to refute.

Maybe he forgot that his brother Lin Jianmin was not a good person, and had committed no less crimes than gangsters like Li Wendi, but he was just wearing a legal cloak.

Seeing this, Zhang Wenhuai sighed, patted Lin Jianye on the shoulder, and left the interrogation room.

Zhao Wanying sat in the passenger seat angrily and asked in an extremely stern tone, "Tell me honestly, did you kill that inspector? Or is it related to you?"

Li Wendi stared at the road ahead, expecting Zhao Wanying to ask directly, "It has nothing to do with it. Although Lin Jianmin and I have a big grudge, and he also instigated others to hit my mother, but I really won't kill him, because it's not worth it, and I have to take care of my mother and Xiaonan with my life. But I know someone wants to kill him, he has too many enemies, and the people on the road will not let him go."

"Do you know who killed him? Then tell the police clearly." Zhao Wanying became a little excited.

Li Wendi frowned and said, "Do you think the police can't find out? They just don't dare to arrest. Why did they arrest me? It's because I have no power, so they can use me as a target. If I dare to say who did it, you can go to the funeral home to see me tomorrow."

"The one who died this time was the inspector. The police should take it very seriously. Why are they so timid? Are you trying to trick me?" Zhao Wanying questioned.

"They all wanted to force a confession under torture. You saw it, don't you think it's important enough?" Li Wendi sneered. "The police force doesn't want the real murderer, but a murderer who can give an explanation to the public. Someone like me is the most suitable."

Seeing Zhao Wanying's still questioning expression, Li Wendi added weight, "I want to kill Lin Jianmin, but I won't be stupid enough to do it myself. If the killer is caught, I don't think I will be able to get out today."

Zhao Wanying nodded. Killing a former detective was clearly a slap in the face of the police force. If there was real evidence, the police station would never let him go.

"Then how do you plan to solve this problem? They have set their sights on you and will not give up easily." Zhao Wanying said.

Li Wendi shook his head. He had no support in the white world. The police wanted to frame him. He had no way to resist for the time being. He said to Zhao Wanying, "Wanying, can you help me? Otherwise, I will be tortured into confessing."

"I can help you, but I need to make sure this matter has nothing to do with you first."

Li Wendi saw that the situation was urgent and could not wait for Zhao Wanying to find out the truth, so he revealed some names to her and asked her to do the work.

It is better for my friend to die than for me to die!
Moreover, those gangsters are indeed the murderers. If they are not brought to justice, Li Wendi will have a hard time.

As for the fact that Li Wendi had beaten Lin Jianmin, he appeared very suddenly, and those gangsters should not have any physical evidence. In any case, it is better than the current situation.

A few days later, news came from the underworld that the gangster murderers had been captured.

When Li Wendi heard the names of the offenders, a smile appeared on his face. These people were obviously younger brothers who stood up to take the blame for the big guys. Of course, these big guys did not kill Lin Jianmin personally, it must have been the younger brothers who did it for them.

However, what surprised Li Wendi was that Zhang Wenhuai came again and asked him to go back to assist in the investigation. The reason was that the murderers pointed out that Li Wendi was the mastermind behind the scenes.

This made Li Wendi's face suddenly gloomy. After calling Zhao Wanying, he followed the police out of the office.

Those "big guys" actually tried to trick him to death, so naturally he didn't dare to easily point out Li Wendi's fault. After all, they all knew Li Wendi's status. If they offended Li Wendi, their families would not have an easy time either. However, it would be different if they had someone backing them up.

This time, Li Wendi did not answer the police officer's questioning. "Li Wendi, everyone pointed out that you were the mastermind behind the murder. You paid them to kill Lin Jianmin."

"Even if you have an alibi, it doesn't mean you are not suspected of involvement in this incident."

"Li Wendi, I'm warning you, don't think I can't do anything to you if you don't speak."

Li Wendi raised his hands wearing silver bracelets to the table and said calmly, "I won't answer any of your questions until my lawyer arrives."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Wanying pushed the door open, glanced at Li Wendi, and asked, "Did you answer any questions?"

Li Wendi shook his head. "If you weren't there, I certainly wouldn't say anything. Who knows if they would frame me?"

"My client, Mr. Li Wendi, is a law-abiding citizen of Hong Kong. It would be absurd if my client could be convicted based solely on the criticism of those gangsters."

Zhao Wanying continued, "You can ask any questions you want now, and I promise that my client will answer truthfully. However, if you want to impose a crime on my client, I will complain to the police chief and the governor's office for abusing your power, and sue you in court."

The two police officers looked at each other in surprise. They had not expected that a weak woman like Zhao Wanying could become so threatening. They also knew that they could not convict her based on the evidence of these gangsters. However, now that things had begun, they could not let it end in vain.

After the police officer finished asking questions, Li Wendi said to Zhao Wanying, "Can I meet the people who pointed out my mistakes?"

Zhao Wanying thought about it and refused directly, "You are a suspect. The police will not allow you to meet with the murderer to prevent you from threatening the murderer."

"Yeah!" Li Wendi nodded, and followed Zhao Wanying out of the police station.

After returning home, Li Wendi was not idle. He immediately picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers.

"Inspector Xu, do you have time now? Yes, I want to chat with you. OK, see you at the Happy Teahouse."

Tsim Sha Tsui Happy Tea House
Xu Shoukun picked up the teacup and laughed, "I heard that Brother Li has been in a lot of trouble recently. Not only did Lin Jianmin die, but he also dragged so many people down with him to be buried with him."

"Yes! I have nothing to do with this matter, but I became a suspect, which makes me feel uncomfortable all over." Li Wendi sighed.

"Brother Li, let me tell you, this matter is very serious. Those foreigners have already ordered to rectify the public security in Hong Kong. Lin Jianmin's case just happened to be a sharp edge, and someone will definitely be in trouble." Xu Shoukun revealed some inside information.

"Inspector Xu, this matter really has nothing to do with me. Now you police officers are monitoring me every day, and I am about to collapse." Li Wendi said.

"Actually, this matter is neither difficult nor easy to resolve. It just requires some coordination between the upper and lower levels, otherwise no one will buy into this favor." Xu Shoukun asked Li Wendi for a bribe.

However, Li Wendi is still wary of the ICAC. Bribing Xu Shoukun now is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst.

"Inspector, I know that you can say a word for me, which is better than me running myself to death." Li Wendi sighed, "The building in Wan Chai has used up all my money, and Changheng Real Estate Company will need until the end of the year to pay the full amount. I am a poor man now."

Hearing this, Xu Shoukun's face turned ugly, as if to say, I ask you for money because I think highly of you.

Li Wendi knew that it would be difficult to fool Xu Shoukun, so he continued, "I know that the inspector thinks highly of me, so I said this. I have a very good business on hand. The inspector only needs to invest 100 yuan. I guarantee that the inspector can make million by the end of the year. What do you think, inspector?"

Xu Shoukun's face brightened and he smiled at Li Wendi, "Haha!! Brother Li is still wise. Don't worry, the police will definitely investigate your case and will not cause any more trouble to your business."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Inspector. You've really solved my big problem." Li Wendi said politely.

With Xu Shoukun's power and Zhao Wanying's participation, Li Wendi felt that the matter could be resolved. However, this disguised bribery seemed to make him a little uneasy, but there was no better way at the moment.
