Chapter 33

"Never seen him!" the well-endowed woman shook her head and said, "He probably doesn't frequent Brother Qiang's area often."

Furen was somewhat disappointed and looked at the other woman.

The woman with less impressive assets, under the pressure of his gaze, recalled something and said, "Oh, right, Sir, when we met Wei Danhong and those two guests at the stairwell, she seemed to call one of the guests by name, and they looked quite familiar."

"What name did she call?" Furen's eyes became even sharper, piercing the woman like needles.

The woman avoided Furen's gaze, trying hard to remember, and finally recalled something, "It seemed to be something like 'Xiong Lao'? I'm not too sure."

"Right, right, it's 'Xiong Lao'!" the well-endowed woman exclaimed, "I remember that on Friday, there was a raid in the neighboring area, so many of the girls came to Brother Qiang's area in the evening."

"Oh? Is that so?" Furen raised an eyebrow and took out his phone to call Bao Niu.

Xie Yixin quickly answered the call, almost in tears, "Alen, I bought 50,000 yuan worth of Fengli stocks, and now I'm about to lose everything."

Furen scolded, "Serves you right! Why didn't you go all in? It would be better to stick it out!"

Xie Yixin asked sheepishly, "What should I do now?"

"What should you do? Just let it be! It's just a few thousand yuan in stocks, put it aside for now, we need to focus on the case!" Furen sneered, "Madam, can you check if there was a raid in the neighboring area last Friday?"

"Sure, I'll call you back in a few minutes!" Xie Bao Niu said and hung up.

At this moment, Furen asked the two women again, "If you see those two guests again, can you recognize them?"

The well-endowed woman shook her head repeatedly, while the other one thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure! I only vaguely remember what they look like, I might not be able to recognize them!"

Furen rolled his eyes, took out a few photos from his inner pocket, and handed them to the women, "Take a look and see if any of these are the two guests, or one of them."

In fact, there were only three photos, of the boss, the boss's wife, and the helper of Xiong's Noodle Shop. The two women examined the photos carefully. They didn't react much to the first two, but when they saw the last photo of the boss of Xiong's Noodle Shop, Zhang Xiong, they both exclaimed in surprise.

"Sir, it's this guy, this guy is Xiong Lao!"

"Right, right, I remember the black mole with hair on the side of his neck," the well-endowed woman added, "And this young man seems to be one of the guests Wei Danhong had that day."

"Is that so? Are you sure?" Furen asked.

The well-endowed woman shook her head, "I'm not too sure." She pointed to Zhang Xiong's photo, "But this old guy is probably Xiong Lao, I'm about 70-80% sure."

"OK, thank you for your cooperation, you can go now!" After getting the information he needed, Furen waved them off.

"Oh, Sir, don't be so cold, we can still chat about other things!" the well-endowed woman pouted and moved closer.

Furen quickly dodged and shouted, "Get lost!!"

Shi Qiang, who had been watching from a distance, quickly came over and slapped the well-endowed woman twice, scolding, "Damn, look at yourself, do you think you're good enough for Sir Fei? Get lost, both of you!"

Seeing Shi Qiang's anger, the two women were frightened and ran off quickly.

"Sir Fei, are you satisfied with the information?" Shi Qiang bowed and asked.

Furen said noncommittally, "Not bad, I have some other things to do, I'll leave now."

"Alright, take care, come back soon!" As soon as he said this, Shi Qiang slapped himself. As a pimp, why did he always think about having the police come back?

Without turning back, Furen said, "I'll come back, at least until I find Wei Danhong, I'll be here every day!"

Hearing this, Shi Qiang wanted to bang his head against the wall, "Oh, my dear mother!"

As soon as Furen sat in the Ferrari, Li Zekai's call came in.

"Hey, Alen, my father has already told the Ma family about your background, what are your plans?"

"What plans? Continue the investigation!" Furen answered evasively.

"But the Ma family has considerable influence in Hong Kong, I'm afraid..."

Furen laughed and scolded, "I'm not afraid, why should you be? Alright, I have to go, I have other things to do!"

"Wait, wait... I have something else to tell you."

"Then get to the point!"

"This Saturday is my mother's birthday, my father wants you to come to our house for a gathering," Li Zekai said.

Furen was suspicious, "Is this related to the Ma family?"

"Absolutely not, it's a family gathering, our relationship with the Ma family isn't that close."

Furen thought for a moment and said, "OK, if I'm not on duty on Saturday, I'll come. Even if I can't make it, I'll send a gift!"

"You really think your police work is that important?"

"Out of sight, out of mind, you know what I mean!" As he said this, Furen saw a call from Xie Yixin coming in and said, "I have to go, I have other things to do!" He then switched to Xie Yixin's call, "How's the investigation going?"

"Wan Chai police district did indeed conduct a raid in the Tin Hau area last Friday, is there a problem with that?" Xie Yixin asked.

Furen sneered, "No problem, but I found that the people from Xiong's Noodle Shop are becoming more and more suspicious in the dismemberment case." He then briefly recounted the information he had obtained from the two women.

After listening, Xie Yixin shouted on the phone, "What are we waiting for? Arrest them and interrogate them, maybe everything will become clear!"

"Come on, Inspector Xie, use your brain!" Furen rolled his eyes, "Is the victim identified? Is the primary crime scene determined? Is the murder weapon found? Is the motive clear? We don't have any of these things. Relying on the little bit of information we have, even if Zhang Xiong is the killer, we can't convict him, it would be a waste of effort!"

"But Zhang Xiong is a major suspect. If he is the killer, letting him roam free might result in more victims!" Xie Yixin expressed her concern, "His psychological defenses might be weak, and he might confess if we interrogate him."

Furen said irritably, "You're dreaming!"

Stung by Furen's dismissive tone, Xie Yixin became stubborn and shouted, "I'm the madam, I decide how to proceed!"

Furen was speechless and said, "OK, I'll reserve my opinion. I'll go to the place opposite Xiong's Noodle Shop and wait for you there." He had to admit that he agreed to this partly because he wanted to confront the suspect Zhang Xiong and find his weaknesses.

With Furen's abilities and resources, if Zhang Xiong had really committed a brutal murder, even if he fled to the other side of the world, Furen could still arrest and bring him to justice.

Soon, Xie Yixin and the Major Case Team arrived. Dai Yan even called over the leader of the surveillance team, "Sir Fei, this is Xu Chong, Sir Xu, nicknamed Hyena, everyone calls him Dog Head."

Furen shook hands with Xu Chong and smiled, "Good work, Brother Xu!"

Xu Chong, a police inspector, also smiled, "Sir Fei, you're joking, surveillance is our job, it's not hard, we're used to it!"

Xie Yixin interjected, "Dog Head, why don't you introduce the surveillance situation first?"

"Sure." Xu Chong nodded and pulled out a large floor plan of the noodle shop from his waist, pointing to several corners, "Madam Xie, Sir Fei, Xiong's Noodle Shop is small but has three rooms: a public dining area, a kitchen, and a small cold storage. My colleagues have installed micro-cameras in the places I pointed out while eating noodles."

"Hmm? Your surveillance team is impressive, micro-cameras have only been on the market for a short time, and you're already using them," Furen smiled, "By the way, are the sensors in your cameras CMOS or CCD?"

This question left Xie Yixin and the others puzzled, but Xu Chong smiled, "Sir Fei, I didn't expect you to know this. We are currently using the most advanced CMOS cameras on the market, which are very power-efficient, reducing the risk of our team being exposed!"

Xie Yixin silently criticized Furen's deep knowledge and studied the floor plan, praising, "Dog Head, your team did a great job! It looks like you even installed cameras in the toilets, not just the cold storage."

"So be careful when you go in to arrest the suspect, don't do anything inappropriate," Xu Chong reminded, "According to the rules, the cameras will not be turned off during this period, or our entire surveillance team will be held accountable."

Furen patted his shoulder and said, "Understood!" Then he turned to Xie Yixin, "Madam, you can plan the entire operation, and decide if you need backup!"

Xie Yixin had already planned it out and immediately said, "Alright, Ah Dong will go in with me and Sir Fei, Dai Mao and Xiao Ran will guard the back door, is that okay?"

Furen raised his hand and said, "Dai Mao, I want to remind you two, when guarding the back door, try to stay 10 to 15 meters away. If the suspect tries to escape with a weapon, I hope you shoot directly, rather than engage in close combat, understand?"

Xie Yixin frowned, "Alen, what do you mean? How can you teach Dai Mao and the others to shoot randomly?"

Furen shrugged, "I mean, based on my judgment, the killer has considerable knife skills. If we engage in close combat, I believe no one here is his match except me!"

This statement left everyone stunned. Xie Yixin still didn't believe it, "Are you kidding?"

Furen said unhappily, "I wouldn't joke about my colleagues' lives, even if I'm bored."

Thinking about it, Xie Yixin didn't say more, just, "Alright, I'll go in..."

Furen said before her, "I'll go in first!"
