I started out as a criminal, and the police relied on me to solve countless cases.

Chapter 71 First Arrival in Hong Kong
Victoria Hotel Hong Kong.

The hotel's lobby is spacious and bright, decorated with an artistic atmosphere.

A good-looking couple was checking in at the front desk.

"Hello, is this Mr. Jiang Hanwen? The Police Department has booked a room for you a week ago. You can check in directly now."

The front desk staff looked at the ID and directly took out two room cards.

"And this beautiful lady can also move in directly."

"Dear customers, our hotel's buffet has a rich variety of dishes and excellent taste. At the same time, the hotel's restaurant also offers a variety of Cantonese and Western cuisine to meet the needs of different tastes."

Jiang Hanwen did not stay for too long and chose a sea view room with modern interior decoration to move in directly.

"Brother Hanwen, your reputation as a prophet has spread to Hong Kong? That's amazing!"

Zhou Nana gained a new understanding of Jiang Hanwen's popularity.

"It's not that simple. This police department is a bit strange."

Jiang Hanwen handed the newly completed script to Zhou Nana and went into the room on his own.

Originally, he had not planned to stay at the Victoria Hotel, but the Police Department had spent money to book a room for him, and not staying there would be tantamount to giving them no face.

A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake.
Although Jiang Hanwen still hasn't figured out why the deputy police chief became so arrogant at first and then respectful, with such a drastic change in attitude.

The police in Hong Kong are arrogant and always have a neutral attitude towards people from the mainland.

How could a small criminal investigation consultant like me, a special employee of the Xiguan Public Security Bureau, have the face to make the deputy chief of police in Hong Kong feel intimidated?

Do you just want me to solve the case?
That doesn't make sense. The room rate at Victoria Hotel is usually no less than 2000 per night.

There are more than ten people from Jiang Hanwen's crew who have arrived in Hong Kong, plus Zhang Songwen who has not arrived yet.

The room charges for these people add up to a considerable amount.

After all, Hong Kong is a wealthy country. If this bill was placed on Lao Ding's desk, he would never sign it.

Jiang Hanwen had some understanding of Hong Kong's judicial and police system. After all, there had been many major cases in this place in his previous life.

The Hong Kong Police Force has one commissioner, three deputy commissioners, a bunch of deputy commissioners in charge, and commanders of various districts such as Kowloon and the New Territories.

A deputy director is basically the second or third most important person in the police system and the one with real power.

There aren't many cases that this kind of person can't handle.

Jiang Hanwen was thinking about how to deal with the people from the Police Department. After all, the rules here are different from those in Xiguan.

People are afraid of people talking about you behind your back. If you talk about the devil, he will appear.

"dong dong"

There was a knock on the door.

Jiang Hanwen walked over and opened the door. The person knocking on the door was a tall foreigner with blond hair, blue eyes and a hooked nose. He was wearing the standard uniform of the Hong Kong police. He was about 40 years old and looked quite shrewd.

"Hello, Consultant Jiang, welcome to Hong Kong."

The foreigner was very enthusiastic. As soon as he saw Jiang Hanwen when he opened the door, he opened his arms and hugged him.

"Haha, hello, hello."

Jiang Hanwen immediately retreated tactically.

Foreigner, are we familiar with each other?
Seeing that Jiang Hanwen did not accept the challenge, the foreigner turned aside without blushing or getting nervous.

It turns out there is another person behind.

"Kwong Chih-chi, Deputy Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Force, in charge of operations. This is Chong Ting-kwok, Commander of the Kowloon East Region. On behalf of the Hong Kong Police Force, I welcome Consultant Jiang."

The man who was speaking had a square face and was not very old. He looked a few years younger than the foreigner, but his aura was much stronger.

To be able to reach this position in his thirties, he must be quite capable.

Jiang Hanwen was a little confused. This person felt exactly like the deputy director on the phone, or at least they were completely unrelated.

"You two officers are polite. Please come in."

Jiang Hanwen didn't say much and just let the two of them into the house.

"Advisor Jiang, this matter is urgent, so let's get straight to the point in this conversation."

Kuang Zhili nodded politely but did not sit down immediately. He was extremely restrained when speaking and seemed to be a little afraid of Jiang Hanwen.

Jiang Hanwen didn't want to play this trick, so he poured a cup of tea for each of them and sat back in his seat.

"Please take a seat, both of you. I am here only as a consultant. Director Kuang, please introduce the specific case to me."

Jiang Hanwen took two days to finish the script, and the plot of the case remained the same as in the previous life without any changes.

It's not that we don't want to take action, but there is no situation where we can't catch the suspect in this case. No matter which timeline it is, the three murderers were all brought to justice within less than half a month after the incident.

The difference is that in Jiang Hanwen's memory, the three murderers confessed their crimes one after another. Although their attitudes were extremely arrogant, they confessed to the crimes they committed.

But the current situation does not seem to be the case.

"Advisor Jiang, I have already reported the general situation of the case to you over the phone. I will tell you again in detail now."

When Kuang Zhili was speaking, the hook-nosed foreigner Zhuang Dingguo had a businesslike expression on his face. Although he knew that the man in front of him was no simple matter, otherwise the director and the deputy director would not have spent so much money to arrange for the entire crew to stay at the Victoria Hotel for a film.

This level of hospitality is not common.

Even so, when Kuang Zhili said the word "report".

Zhuang Dingguo's eyes changed again, with an expression of shock and confusion.

However, this expression only flashed by, and the foreigner regained his composure in an instant, smiling and nodding at Jiang Hanwen.

His face was tense, but his heart was in turmoil.

Hong Kong officials seldom meet local officials from the mainland. Even if they do meet, they are always treated as one level higher than their superiors and basically do not take it seriously.

The young man opposite was just a specially-appointed consultant for the small Xiguan City Police Department, an idle staff member, although it was known that this person was very important in solving the case.

But this guy Kuang Zhili actually said it was a report?
Zhuang Dingguo was already cursing in his heart, these new youngsters were more sinister than the other.

It's such a big thing, but he didn't even inform me in advance. It's so ugly of him to eat alone.

"Director Kuang, please tell me, I heard that the youngest of the three murderers has been released a long time ago, and the remaining two will also be released at the end of this month?"

Jiang Hanwen didn't understand this verdict.

The victim's identity is clear and the murderer's methods are cruel, but why are they all given light sentences? The cost of killing is too low.

"Hey, Consultant Jiang doesn't know something."

Kuang Zhili sighed and shook his head. "When the case went to court, the three defendants were charged with murder, illegal detention, and preventing the legal burial of a body. In the early stages of the investigation, the police lacked sufficient evidence to prove the identity of the deceased."

"However, since the defendants have admitted to charges such as illegal disposal of corpses, and with the testimony of the witness Ah Fang, there is no dispute about the identity of the deceased. Although the three defendants admitted that they were guilty of illegal detention and preventing the legal burial of the corpse, they all denied the most important charge of murder."

"So?" Jiang Hanwen raised his eyebrows. "If the murderer denies the crime, he can avoid being sentenced? Which murderer would hang a loud speaker on his body to say that he killed someone?

"That's right, Consultant Jiang. We detected opioids in the deceased's stomach, and the deceased had a history of being hospitalized for an overdose."

Kuang Zhili lowered his head and his voice became lower.

"Unfortunately, based on the state of the deceased's remaining body parts, police and the medical examiner were unable to determine whether the cause of death was an overdose or homicide."

There was a brief silence in the room.

Jiang Hanwen had no expression on his face and said coldly, "Director Kuang Zhili, the deceased is a pregnant woman."

He paused, then leaned close to the man's ear and whispered, "Overdose? Director Kuang, do you believe this?"
