Chapter 92

For Fei Lun's request, Ling Shu did not immediately agree, her eyes glancing at Chief Zhang.

Chief Zhang was taken aback for a moment and said, "PI Fei, if you think my presence can help you..."

"In that case, let's change the location!" Ling Shu said.

In the hearing room.

After everyone took their seats, Ling Shu turned on the recorder and said, "Let's start with what Madam Xie has found out!"

It should be noted that Ling Shu's position in the police force was second only to the two deputy commissioners and the commissioner, all of whom were men. The term "Madam" coming from her mouth made everyone present slightly surprised, and Zhong Weiming and Chief Zhang immediately sensed her dissatisfaction with Xie Yixin.

Xie Bao Nv, however, seemed not to understand the deeper meaning of the words, glared at Fei Lun, and opened the file she had brought along, saying, "According to the clues found by the colleagues in the Serious Crime Unit, the underground driver Liu Mao confessed that last night, a stranger brought a girl nicknamed 'Black Girl' named Gu Lingjing to the illegal racing site, where they had a direct confrontation with Seven Sir's henchman Zhu Gan. In the end, the stranger pulled out a gun and shot Zhu Gan in the leg! Additionally..."

"Stop!" Ling Shu interjected, "It's best to clear things up one by one. Let's start with this issue! PI Fei, is the stranger described by driver Liu Mao you?"

Fei Lun answered evasively, "Madam, I wonder if this internal hearing is as evidence-based as a court?"

Ling Shu gave him a subtle, ambiguous glare and said, "Of course! We are a disciplined force, and all our actions must be in line with the spirit of the police regulations and the Basic Law!" This was typical bureaucratic language, but no one could refute it.

"OK, I understand!" Fei Lun nodded, "Last night, I did go to the illegal racing site with my informant, Gu Lingjing, but it was Chief Zhang who assigned me to go there. In other words, I was there on official duty, and Chief Zhang can vouch for this."

Chief Zhang nodded, "That's right!"

Fei Lun continued, "At that place, I did indeed see Zhu Gan, but I didn't pull out a gun. You can ask the parties involved if you don't believe me." He spread his hands, looking helpless, "Besides, if I really shot Zhu Gan in the leg, where's the medical report? The bullet? The gun?"

"Bang!"

Hearing Fei Lun's sophistry, Xie Yixin slammed the table in anger and coldly snorted, "Fei Lun, we haven't found Zhu Gan yet, but don't worry, Qiang Zai Dai Mao and the others are doing their best to find him. I'm sure we'll have results soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Ling Shu said, "Come in!"

The door opened, and Qiu Zhaqiang stood outside, saluting the senior officers. Seeing this, Xie Yixin gave Fei Lun a triumphant glare, then bowed slightly to Ling Shu and the others, walked to the door, and Qiu Zhaqiang whispered in her ear. Bao Nv's face immediately turned from sunny to gloomy, looking very displeased.

After Qiu Zhaqiang left, Bao Nv returned to her seat, and Fei Lun sneered, "I wonder what good news Qiangzi has brought?"

Xie Yixin, who had just sat down, slammed the table and shouted, "Fei Lun, Zhu Gan was knocked unconscious at home, his injured leg was amputated, and he's missing. Don't tell me you don't know anything about it!"

"Ha ha!" Fei Lun spread his hands, "I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm glad to see Zhu Gan in a wheelchair. After all, he and Zifabaimao both like to harass decent women, so it's only right that he suffers a bit." As he said this, he glanced at Ling Shu, the meaning in his eyes only clear to the parties involved.

Ling Shu was slightly taken aback and indeed recalled the previous incident. She gestured for Xie Yixin to sit down and asked, "Madam Xie, does Zhu Gan have dyed hair?"

Although Xie Yixin found it strange why Ling Shu asked this, she answered truthfully, "Which of those gangsters doesn't dye their hair? Zhu Gan has a nickname, 'Yellow Hair'!"

A hint of barely perceptible hatred flashed in Ling Shu's eyes, and she waved her hand, "OK, the investigation into Fei Lun shooting Zhu Gan is over!"

"Why?!" Xie Yixin's face showed three parts indignation, five parts surprise, and two parts defiance.

Ling Shu said solemnly, "Madam Xie, whether it's an investigation or a hearing, we must base our conclusions on evidence. The testimony of the gangster driver Liu Mao alone is not enough to determine that Fei Lun violated police regulations. Besides, if hundreds of gangsters all said you, Madam Xie, were a bad cop, would you be a bad cop? We can't just believe such talk. I wonder if Chief Zhang and Weiming agree with my opinion?"

Chief Zhang remained noncommittal, but Zhong Weiming nodded, "Madam, you're right. We can't just dismiss our colleague based on the word of an underground driver!"

Bao Nv wanted to argue further, but Ling Shu gestured to stop her, "Additionally, based on what you just said, since Zhu Gan's injured leg is missing, we can't determine if he had a gunshot wound, nor can we test if the wound was caused by PI Fei's service weapon. Thus, the claim that PI Fei violated regulations by using a gun is based solely on Liu Mao's testimony, which is hard to believe."

This left Xie Yixin speechless, with no further arguments, but seeing Fei Lun sitting across from her, smirking, she became even angrier: "What about the Mad Dog incident? He was killed as soon as he got the ten thousand dollars, and the person who gave him the money was Fei Lun."

Zhong Weiming and Chief Zhang looked at Fei Lun in unison. Indeed, from a criminology perspective, Fei Lun was a major suspect.

Fei Lun laughed, "I've never met Mad Dog before, and I have no grudge against him. Why would I kill him?"

"Hmph, of course it's for the ten thousand dollars!" Bao Nv said matter-of-factly.

"For the ten thousand dollars? Nonsense!" Fei Lun rolled his eyes and showed his Breguet watch, "Do you know how much this watch costs? It's not that expensive, only 6.8 million. Would I kill someone for ten thousand dollars?"

Ling Shu, who had seen Fei Lun's watch and luxury car, was not surprised at all. Xie Yixin, who knew Fei Lun was quite wealthy, was also not very surprised, but Chief Zhang and Zhong Weiming drew in a sharp breath. Anyone who could casually wear a watch worth millions was definitely not just rich.

However, Xie Yixin still stubbornly argued, "There's an old saying, 'the rich are unkind.' I've heard that rich people are very stingy. Even if they have tens of millions, they still haggle over every penny, let alone ten thousand dollars!"

Fei Lun was amused by this, sneering, "I don't know why you're targeting me, Madam Xie, but I can responsibly tell you that ten thousand dollars is nothing to me, like ten dollars. If you don't believe me, I can prove it to the senior officers!"

Bao Nv sneered, "Ten thousand as ten dollars? Hmph, who would believe that? Even Li Chao Ren isn't that rich!"

Fei Lun didn't bother to explain further, just turning to Ling Shu, "Madam, can I make a phone call?"

"Go ahead!"

Fei Lun then walked to a corner and called Wilson, "Yes, bring me the second-level asset statement!"

Less than fifteen minutes later, Wilson rushed over from Central, knocked on the door, and entered the room. Without looking at Ling Shu and the others, he walked straight to Fei Lun, opened his briefcase, and said, "Boss, I've brought the documents. What do you want to do?"

Fei Lun waved his hand, "Don't give them to me, give them directly to Madam Ling!"

Wilson was taken aback, then walked to Ling Shu and the others' table, took out a few confidentiality agreements, and said, "Sirs, Madam, please sign these agreements so I can show you Mr. Fei's documents!"

Ling Shu took a look and found it was a confidentiality agreement, stating that the contents of Fei Lun's asset documents could not be disclosed within five years, or they would face imprisonment.

Glaring at Fei Lun, Ling Shu said, "PI Fei, do you have to be so formal?"

"Wilson is doing this for my benefit. Whether or not you want to see my asset statement is up to you!" Fei Lun shrugged, "Why should I let someone with no judgment accuse me of killing someone for ten thousand Hong Kong dollars?" As he said this, he glared at Bao Nv.

Wilson, though he didn't know the full extent of Fei Lun's wealth, knew that just the part he was aware of was enough to rival a nation's wealth. Hearing this, he immediately jumped up, "Boss, what are you saying? Someone accused you of killing for ten thousand dollars? That's impossible! Even if it were ten thousand pounds, my boss wouldn't bother to bend down to pick them up." He then repeatedly scanned Ling Shu and the others, looking very dissatisfied.

However, Wilson's words piqued Ling Shu's curiosity, and she immediately signed the confidentiality agreement. Zhong Weiming and Chief Zhang followed suit. Seeing the three sign, Wilson took out the asset statement and handed it over, "These are my boss's deposit certificates from Standard Chartered Bank and Citibank. Please count the zeros carefully. If you can't count, there are Chinese notes at the end!"

Ling Shu and the others were immediately stunned by the numbers on the documents. There were nine zeros to the left of the decimal point? The Standard Chartered Bank certificate was in GBP, with a one in front of the nine zeros; the Citibank certificate was in USD, with a three in front of the nine zeros.

Together, that was several billion Hong Kong dollars, right? When Zhong Weiming and Chief Zhang calculated this in their heads, their looks at Fei Lun completely changed. Damn, the wealth of this probationary inspector and detective was comparable to Li Chao Ren? No, no, even the Li family couldn't have that much spare cash? Ling Shu also drew in a sharp breath, realizing that Fei Lun's wealth was far more than the tip of the iceberg she had known, a world apart.

As for Xie Yixin, though she was very curious and wanted to see the asset statements, her stubborn nature prevented her from signing the confidentiality agreement, so she missed out on seeing the astonishing numbers.

"OK!" Ling Shu finally caught her breath, "The motive for Fei Lun killing Mad Dog for ten thousand dollars is not valid, but he is still a suspect! PI Fei, please leave the hearing room temporarily. We need to discuss the hearing results."

Fei Lun was slightly taken aback and had to let Wilson take back the documents and leave the hearing room with him.

After waiting outside for over ten minutes, Chief Zhang came out, walked to Fei Lun, patted his shoulder, and sighed, "PI Fei, no matter what the result, don't give up on your dream of being a police officer!" He paused and added, "I'll find someone to take over your work."

Fei Lun sensed something was wrong and was about to ask a few questions, but Chief Zhang shook his head and left.

(PS: This chapter may seem absurd, but each question asked by Ling Shu and others has a purpose, which will be revealed in Chapter 090)
