When Ferren approached the robber and pulled off his hood, he was surprised and laughed, "You fool, you didn't try to run away just now, did you?"
"You, you, what did you do to me?" The robber's features twisted as he stammered.
Ferren smiled faintly and said, "Nothing much, just hit your 'Nishilin' acupoint... Have you heard of the saying 'touching a dragon's reverse scale leads to death'? These eight characters are actually correct, but the one who dies is not the one who touches the reverse scale, but the dragon!"
In fact, the 'Nishilin' acupoint is one of the seven major hidden acupoints in the human body that Ferren learned about from an ancient book fragment during a cycle mission. It was not originally called 'Nishilin,' but he named it himself.
"Huh!?" The robber's eyes widened in shock.
"Originally, if you hadn't moved, I could have removed the nail with my unique technique, and you could have lived for another year or two. Unfortunately, you... tsk tsk, what a pity!" Although he said it was a pity, Ferren's face showed no regret, but rather a sense of schadenfreude.
The robber's face became even more distorted, his features extremely grotesque. His facial muscles began to tremble and spasm involuntarily, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his bones made a series of cracking sounds. He then fell stiffly to the ground and stopped moving after a few seconds.
Ferren took the opportunity to pull out the large nails from the necks of several other robbers and put them into his hidden ring.
At this moment, accompanied by the sound of "It's over~ It's over~ It's over~," two armored cars drove in reverse into Guangjing Street and stopped diagonally about twenty meters away from the bank where the incident occurred. Then, a group of fully armed colleagues, holding pistols and shotguns, got out of the cars with great seriousness. The leader even took a bulletproof shield from the back of the car.
Ferren knew they would start shouting next, so he quickly folded a paper airplane with his appointment letter and flew it over. He then entered the bank and carefully searched to ensure no robbers had escaped. He led three bank employees to the street and told them to run to the armored car team.
Before the three bank employees ran off, Ferren didn't forget to remind the female employee, who was drenched in blood, "Tell them I'm a police officer too!"
In fact, the female employee was already half-dead with fear and couldn't relay the message. Ferren's words were actually intended for the two male employees, who looked terrified. However, in a state of shock, they wouldn't have heard much of what was said to them, so Ferren could only speak to the female employee, hoping the two men would recall his words when they came to their senses.
After the three employees were surrounded by the armored car team, Ferren couldn't help but mutter, "What if they're human bombs?"
The two male employees didn't disappoint Ferren. They soon came to their senses, remembered his words, and immediately relayed them to the questioning police. The on-site commander, upon receiving the report, finally had the mood to compare the photo on the paper airplane appointment letter with Ferren's appearance through a telescope. He had previously thought it was a tactic to divert their attention.
Soon, a team came over and surrounded Ferren tightly, conducting a body search. Although it was a humiliating experience, Ferren had to comply under the many gun barrels, as the other party was just following the rules. His hands were slightly injured from the two times he had thrown the guns.
More teams arrived and conducted a thorough search of the bank, both inside and out, to ensure no one was missed. They then had the accompanying medical personnel urgently transport the injured and unconscious cash handlers to the hospital. The on-site investigation and follow-up work were naturally handled by subsequent teams.
After the search of Ferren was complete and his identity confirmed, the on-site commander quickly walked over and praised, "PI Ferren, well done!" It was indeed impressive, as anyone would praise Ferren for single-handedly taking on nine robbers armed with AKs.
Ferren waved his hand tiredly and said, "Nothing much, it's my duty."
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Inspector Zhang Changfeng from the Causeway Bay Police Station!"
Ferren smiled slightly and said, "I don't need to introduce myself, do I?"
Zhang Changfeng also smiled, "Of course not, but according to the rules, you need to go to the police station to make a statement."
"No problem, but I need to call my boss first, or I'll be marked as late."
"Of course!"
After Ferren made the call, a senior police officer, who looked no more than twenty and had a youthful appearance, approached at Zhang Changfeng's instruction and said, "Sir Ferren, my name is Guo Bin. This way, please. We'll take the car to the police station."
Ferren pointed in the direction he came from and said, "My car is over there."
Guo Bin was taken aback and then smiled, "Then let's take your car. It will save the car for my colleagues."
"No problem!"
However, when Ferren walked to the parking spot, opened the door, and sat in the Ferrari 550, Guo Bin was completely stunned, "Sir Ferren, is this your car?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
The process of making the statement went very smoothly, and Ferren left the Causeway Bay Police Station after only twenty minutes. Unfortunately, it was already rush hour, and the traffic was as slow as a turtle.
As soon as Ferren left, Guo Bin started gossiping in the police station, "Everyone, do you know what car Sir Ferren drove to the police station?"
"Tsk, what could it be? A Rolls-Royce?"
"No, but it's close. It's the newly released Ferrari 550!"
"Is that true? There are only a few hundred of that model in the world. Is there one in Hong Kong?"
"Really, really, truer than pearls. I just rode in that car."
"Ha, you're just saying. We didn't see it!"
At this point, Guo Bin was pushed to the limit, "If you don't believe me, let's check the police station's surveillance."
Meanwhile, at the Hong Kong Island Headquarters in Central's Arsenal Street (①), Xie Yixin walked into the Serious Crime Unit office with high spirits. However, due to the news of the morning bank robbery in Guangjing Street from Wan Chai, the officers were discussing it enthusiastically, and even the senior inspector, Wang Yipeng, leading Xie Yixin in, went unnoticed.
Seeing this, Xie Yixin's face turned sour, while Wang Yipeng, unfazed, cleared his throat to attract the attention of his subordinates, "You need to maintain your image when discussing cases. Don't chatter!"
All the officers immediately saluted and said in unison, "YES, SIR!"
Wang Yipeng pressed his hands down and said, "Alright, let me introduce everyone. This is the new Senior Inspector Xie Yixin. She will take over the work of Wan Guohui and directly lead you all. Welcome her!" As he said this, he led the applause.
However, the officers were not very enthusiastic, giving a few sparse claps. If it weren't for Xie Yixin's good looks, they probably wouldn't have clapped at all.
After all, the Serious Crime Unit required toughness and resilience, and women generally couldn't handle it. With such a boss, it would be like a weak general leading a weak army. How could they handle cases in the future?
Wang Yipeng noticed his subordinates' dissatisfaction but was helpless, "Alright, get back to work!" After all, Xie Yixin was the daughter of the head of the personnel department, and he had to give her some face. Moreover, the Chief Superintendent of the district had also approved this.
"Goodbye, SIR!"
As Wang Yipeng disappeared down the corridor, Xie Yixin's face fell, "Alright, let's introduce ourselves!" She suddenly realized something was wrong, "Huh? Where's Ferren? Why isn't Ferren here?"
The officers looked at each other, unsure who Xie Yixin was asking about. Fortunately, one of them suddenly remembered something and said, "Madam, there was a call for leave just now. It was Ferren, but I said our boss wasn't here, so he hung up!"
"Bang!" Xie Yixin slammed the table in anger, "On the first day of work, he's late. No discipline, no organization!"
The three officers were startled by Xie Yixin's sudden outburst, unsure why she was so angry. Fortunately, a senior officer with many years of experience gathered the courage to ask, "Madam, should we introduce ourselves?"
Xie Yixin gritted her teeth and said, "Of course, why not introduce ourselves?"
At this moment, a female administrative officer knocked on the door and said, "Is Sir Ferren here? Deputy Commissioner Zhou is at the briefing room and wants to see him."
Everyone was stunned, but Xie Yixin reacted quickly and asked, "What does Deputy Commissioner Zhou want with Ferren?"
"It's about the morning bank robbery in Guangjing Street. Deputy Commissioner Zhou wants to ask some questions," the female officer replied.
Everyone was petrified, and Xie Yixin gasped, "Oh right, Ferren... " At this point, she was in a dilemma, considering whether to cover for Ferren.
Just then, Ferren's voice came from outside the door, "I just went to the toilet, sorry!"
The female officer quickly repeated what she had said, and Ferren replied, "Tell Sir Zhou I'll be there soon." He then dismissed her.
"Sorry, I'm late!" Ferren glanced meaningfully at Xie Yixin and made an apologetic gesture to the office, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Ferren, I just graduated from the police academy, and my ID number is PI18166!"
The three senior officers showed no sign of disrespect and shouted in unison, "Sir Ferren, good!"
The most senior officer, a police sergeant, introduced himself, "Madam Xie, Sir Ferren, my name is Dai Yan. I've been in the police force for over ten years, and they usually call me Daimao."
Dai Yan was a seasoned police officer, standing at 1.76 meters tall. Although he looked slim, his body was quite fit. He had remained a sergeant for so many years because he had a bad record from impulsively firing his gun during a criminal arrest when he was young.
"Madam, Sir, my name is Li Lidong. I've been in the Serious Crime Unit for two and a half years and was recently promoted to senior officer!" The speaker was the shortest of the three, but he was still about 1.7 meters tall, with a face that was hard to distinguish in a crowd.
The last one was Shi Yiran, a police officer who had graduated from the police academy less than a year ago. He was 1.83 meters tall, with a square face and a steady, imposing presence. He was quite popular with women in the headquarters and was well-informed about internal matters.
After the three officers finished their introductions, Ferren turned to Xie Yixin and said teasingly, "Madam Xie, I don't think we need to introduce ourselves, do we?"
"Hmph!"
Xie Yixin expressed her dissatisfaction with a nasal sound. Just as she was about to say something, Ferren cut her off, "Don't rush to speak. Wait until I see Deputy Commissioner Zhou, and then you can talk." He then ignored her and walked out.
