Chapter 53 Ah Bin
Li Jian and He Wenzhan entered the building one after the other.
The wind chimes at the door made a pleasant tinkling sound.
Although Jinhan Villa is called a villa, it is actually an old building with more than ten floors.
People living on Hong Kong Island have cramped living spaces.
In Mong Kok, where land is incredibly valuable, every available space is utilized to the fullest extent.
Almost every floor has been developed for commercial use.
Li Jian went all the way up to the fourth floor before he found a police officer wearing a police badge at the top of the stairs.
The constable immediately tensed up when he saw Li Jian, and his hand unconsciously reached for his lower back.
Li Jian quickly showed his police ID: "Don't shoot, we're on the same side."
The officer breathed a sigh of relief. "What brings you here?"
Li Jian said, "I'm here to see Inspector Miao."
"Miao Sir is inside, but it's not convenient for him to see you right now."
The voice just fell.
Bah!
A loud gunshot rang out, like a thunderclap exploding in one's ears.
Li Jian shoved aside the policeman blocking his way and rushed inside.
He Wenzhan didn't dare to be negligent either, and rushed inside with them, while pulling out his pistol.
Li Jian ran incredibly fast and bumped into an old man in his fifties or sixties. Li Jian immediately swept his leg and knocked the old man to the ground.
Two constables, a man and a woman, chased after the old man.
Both of them were taken aback when they saw Li Jian.
Li Jian flashed his identification: "One of us!"
The couple breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Jian asked, "Where is Inspector Miao?"
As he asked the question, he walked into the house. Before the other party could answer, Li Jian saw Miao Zhongxin and several policemen covering their ears, their faces contorted in pain.
Clearly, the gunshot had shaken them quite a bit.
A policeman who looked like Chin Ka-lok called out into the room, "How's Inspector Miao?"
Miao Zhongxin shook his head and replied, "It's nothing."
next second.
Miao Zhongxin's eyes widened in disbelief. "Li Jian, what are you doing here?"
Li Jian said with a smile, "I received a tip that there might be illegal transactions here, so I came here. I didn't expect to see you here, Officer Miao. What a coincidence!"
Miao Zhongxin looked at him with an expression that said, "I don't believe your nonsense."
Brandon (Chin Ka-lok) exclaimed indignantly, "It must be that old bastard Paul who married two women! Don't let me catch him, or I'll make him pay!"
Miao Zhongxin roared, "Shut up!"
Brandon wisely shut his mouth, staring at Li Jian and He Wenzhan with unfriendly eyes.
Miao Zhongxin turned to Li Jian and said, "Li sir, we've already scouted this spot. According to the rules, it's ours. Please go to the next one."
He Wenzhan felt a little embarrassed and started to walk downstairs.
Li Jian peeked into room 402 and saw a man lying on the bed with wide-open eyes and a bloody hole on his forehead from which red fluid was gushing out.
Li Jian said, "Someone's been killed? Do you need help?"
He Wenzhan could hardly bear to listen anymore and quietly tugged at Li Jian's sleeve.
Li Jian remained unmoved, looking Miao Zhongxin into the eyes: "Miao sir, we're all on the same side, there's no need to be so clear about it."
Miao Zhongxin took a deep breath: "Li sir, this is a matter for our intelligence department. I'm doing this for your own good. This is a muddy place. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Ghost, see you off!"
Brandon stepped in front of Li Jian: "Li sir, don't make things difficult for us."
Li Jian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write the report when I get back."
Li Jian turned and left, calling to He Wenzhan, "Let's go."
"Wait a moment!"
Miao Zhongxin's forehead veins throbbed; how could he not understand the meaning behind Li Jian's words?
Li Jian turned around and said with a smile, "What's wrong, Officer Miao? Is there anything else?"
Miao Zhongxin's face twitched: "We're all on the same side, there's no need to be so ruthless, is there?"
Li Jian picked at his ear: "Miao sir, I don't understand what you're saying. You tell me to leave, so I'll leave. What's the problem?"
Miao Zhongxin looked at the other party's indifferent attitude, then turned to look at his men who were all on guard.
Miao Zhongxin sighed: "Alright, Li sir, here's what happened."
Miao Zhongxin recounted the events that had unfolded since he received the intelligence from his informant.
"This was a mistake by my subordinates, but I don't want to ruin the whole team because of this."
Miao Zhongxin lowered his proud head and spoke in a conciliatory tone.
A very young-looking policeman said, "Sorry, Inspector Miao, I'm a little nervous."
An older officer next to him immediately grabbed him by the collar: "A little nervous? Go to hell! You've gotten yourself into big trouble this time, the whole team is going to be killed because of you!"
Miao Zhongxin's face darkened further. He looked at everyone and said, "Enough! Calm down, all of you!"
"Ah Jian, Ah Qiang, you two go downstairs and keep watch. If anyone comes, try your best to hold them off!"
"Roger that!"
Li Jian interrupted Miao Zhongxin's orders: "Miao sir, before we came up, Ah Zhan's men had already guarded the stairwell."
Miao Zhongxin looked surprised: "What?"
He Wenzhan looked as if he had seen a ghost.
He had been wondering why Li Jian had asked him to leave someone downstairs, and now he was surprised to find that it was being used here.
This reminds me of the last time Fat Sha lost his gun.
At this moment, He Wenzhan's heart was filled with turbulent waves. Could it be that Li Jian really could predict the future?
Unexpected prophet?
Miao Zhongxin took a deep breath and said, "Listen to me, only Ah Bin and I were here just now. All of you came up after hearing the gunshots. You didn't see anything, understand?"
Everyone nodded.
Miao Zhongxin looked at his team member: "Awei, help me find some things, the more the better."
Awei glanced at his watch, somewhat hesitantly, "It's too late, how about something soft?"
Miao Zhongxin said, "Take more of the soft ones."
Just then, Brandon returned with a kitchen knife from somewhere: "Take a knife and hold it in place for now."
Li Jian couldn't help but laugh as he watched Miao Zhongxin and the others clearly divide their tasks.
The laughter was so abrupt that it interrupted Miao Zhongxin's arrangements.
Even Brandon turned to look at him.
He Wenzhan covered his forehead, wondering what kind of trouble Li Jian was up to now.
Li Jian said, "Miao sir, aren't you afraid of being discovered doing this? If someone lets it slip, you'll end up in Stanley Prison."
Miao Zhongxin also got angry, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "Li sir, if you don't like it, you can report it. I'll take responsibility for whatever happens. Don't drag my brother into this."
"Miao Sir!"
"Miao Sir!"
The officers opposite him glared at Li Jian, seemingly ready to draw their guns at the slightest provocation.
Li Jian ignored the men's murderous glares.
He went straight to room 402.
Miao Zhongxin couldn't understand what Li Jian was doing. He turned to look at Ah Bin, who had caused the trouble: "Remember this, I was just about to kick the door when he rushed out and tried to attack me..."
Ah Bin immediately retorted, "Miao Tou, what you're doing is wrong."
Snapped!
Miao Zhongxin could no longer suppress his anger and slapped Abin across the face.
Poor Ah Bin was whipped into a spinning top, spinning twice in place, barely managing to avoid falling.
Miao Zhongxin grabbed his collar and said through gritted teeth, "I'm not doing this for you, but for your parents and our group."
"Remember, I was just about to kick the door when that guy came out and attacked me."
Say it to me again.
Ah Bin said reluctantly, "You were just about to kick the door when that guy came out and tried to chop you up."
"say it again."
Ah Bin's voice rose a bit: "Just as Miao Tou was about to kick the door, that guy rushed out and slashed at Miao Tou. I saw him, so I fired."
Miao Zhongxin patted Abin's head with a look of satisfaction.
