Chapter 166 Audacious
Chapter 166 Audacious
After the Secretary for Administration had finished his speech, he consciously stood behind the Governor.
The Governor said:
"Those who don't know the rules have all left. Fang, now you can make all the decisions."
"we need you!"
Fang Jiating was also unceremonious: "The first thing I want to confirm is why Mountbatten was ambushed?"
"I know this guy Carl."
"He is very careful in what he does. If he doesn't think it is a safe thing, he will never do it!"
"Just as he can honestly recognize the combat effectiveness of the garrison."
"This is not something that ordinary people can do."
"Karl is a pragmatic soldier. He is not arrogant."
"That is to say..."
"He must have an appointment, that's why he went out without even a guard."
"Otherwise, given his caution, he would definitely bring guards."
Fang Jiating paused, waiting for everyone to digest what he said, before continuing,
"Karl's status is quite high."
"In Hong Kong, except for a few of us,
"I really can't think of anyone who could ask him out on his own initiative."
The Secretary for Administration smiled bitterly and said:
"Fang, don't be so tactful."
"I think only the Governor and you are qualified to make an appointment with Commodore Mountbatten."
"The others are a little bit off."
The Security Bureau also said:
"Yes, I have met with General Mountbatten twice for official business."
"But, even if we have to go to Caesars Palace,"
"Karl brought two soldiers with him. He is quite cautious!"
Fang Jiating nodded to show that he understood.
The Governor said seriously, "I didn't make an appointment with him."
Fang Jiating fell into deep thought.
Cao Shaoping rushed over: "Sir, your guess is correct."
"The soldier who died was only General Mountbatten's driver."
Fang Jiating immediately said:
"Everyone, I need to go check out the scene."
"Call me as soon as the operation is over."
The Governor of Hong Kong solemnly requests:
"Fang, Hong Kong's public security has finally improved during this period."
“Who could have thought something like this would happen.”
"I will block the news."
The elder brother also said:
"Fang, I will mobilize the blue hats to guard here,"
"It will never leak out."
Fang Jiating nodded:
"Sure, just tell Mr. Huang."
The Operations Department is still under the management of Fang Jiating.
Even if the eldest brother wants to transfer,
All of this requires Fang Jiating's consent.
This was a privilege given to Fang Jiating by the Governor of Hong Kong.
Fang Jiating called Cao Shaoping, and the two said goodbye to everyone.
We got in the car, sirens blaring, and drove straight out of the military camp.
Fang Jiating frowned, "I always feel like there's something weird going on here."
Cao Shaoping asked, "Why is it weird?"
Fang Jiating frowned and said:
"Karl is the brigadier general of the Zujia garrison."
"He has always been a cautious person."
"If he wasn't absolutely sure, he wouldn't go out with just one driver."
"Who asked him out?"
"Or, why did Carl leave the camp?"
“That’s the first question.”
Fang Jiating paused and asked the second question.
"The robbers ambushed Carl. They killed Carl's driver but only seriously injured him!"
"This is unreasonable!"
Cao Shaoping didn't understand: "Why is it unreasonable?"
Fang Jiating analyzed:
“The robbers have already killed someone, why did they let Karl live?”
"Whether they know Carl's identity or not,"
"It stands to reason..."
"Karl shouldn't have survived!"
“If they knew Karl’s identity, wouldn’t they be afraid of Karl’s revenge?”
“If they don’t know Karl’s identity, aren’t they afraid that Karl will recognize them?”
"In any case, Carl shouldn't be alive."
"But Carl is still alive... How strange!"
Cao Shaoping made a reasonable assumption: "Could it be that the robbers thought Mountbatten was dead?"
Fang Jiating nodded:
"It's possible."
"But I always feel that there is something that doesn't make sense."
He took out his cell phone and dialed.
"Security Bureau, this is Fang Jiating. I want the surveillance video outside the military camp."
"Okay, send it over later."
Fang Jiating said to Cao Shaoping,
"It all started when Carl went out of camp against the rules."
"As long as we can know the reason why he left the camp."
"This will solve most of the case!"
The two soon arrived at the place where Mountbatten had the accident.
He happened to meet the forensic director Gu Ze Shen.
Fang Jiating asked:
"Director Gu, are you in charge of this case?"
"Did you see the injuries on Mountbatten and his driver?"
Gu Ze Shen replied: "The two people in the car were shot in the heart. The murderer was going to kill people."
Cao Shaoping was puzzled: "Then why is General Mountbatten still breathing now?"
"Shouldn't a person who is shot in the heart die?"
Furusawa reached:
"Commodore Mountbatten is special. His heart is naturally biased."
Fang Jiating nodded: "This guy is lucky."
Gu Zeshen said to Fang Jiating,
"I checked the car carefully and found a problem. There should have been other cars and people there at the time."
"Someone was shooting from outside the car."
"Two shots killed him."
"This guy is an expert with a gun."
"In addition, I found two shoe prints at the scene. Apart from that, there are no other clues!"
Fang Jiating frowned: "Professional killer? Gangster?"
Gu Zeshen nodded.
Fang Jiating continued, "Director Gu, if you are done with your work, how about I come and check it out?"
Gu Zeshen smiled and said, "Brother Ting, you are a senior forensic expert, please do as you please!"
Fang Jiating stood outside the car, observed it carefully, looked at the vehicle, and suddenly made a move.
That's the movement of fingers tapping on the car window.
Gu Zeshen's expression changed: "Were they intercepted by someone else on the way? Are they acquaintances?"
Fang Jiating nodded: "That's right!"
"Look, the only two windows in the direction of the shooting have fallen down."
"The other two windows were still tightly closed, and the person knocking on the window was someone Carl knew."
Fang Jiating suddenly leaned forward holding onto the top of the carriage...
Gu Ze Shen looked quickly and saw a faint palm print on the top of the car.
Gu Ze Shen said excitedly: "I think we have the palm prints and fingerprints of the murderer."
He admired Fang Jiating very much. He found important clues with just one glance.
He is indeed a senior forensic expert.
Fang Jiating said, "But the guy who knocked on the window wasn't the one who fired the shot!"
Hearing this, everyone was surprised and looked to Fang Jiating for an explanation.
Fang Jiating pointed at the footprints on the ground:
"Look at these two sets of footprints. One set is obviously offset and the other is following."
"There is a clear overlap between the two sets of footprints."
"The group behind was pressing on the group in front, and the footprints of the group behind were very clear."
"This suggests that someone Carl knew knocked on the window and the person following him shot him."
Gu Zeshen and Cao Shaoping looked at each other.
The two were at a loss.
footprint?
Two groups of fucking horses?
Why didn’t they see it? Gu Zeshen was a senior forensic expert, and Cao Shaoping was a police superintendent who was promoted from the grassroots.
Both of them are very experienced in collecting evidence.
However, the two of them didn't even notice where the footprints came from.
Gu Ze sighed: "Brother Ting, I really can't see where there are two sets of footprints. If there really are, we need professional equipment to test and verify them."
Cao Shaoping said frankly: "Sir, I didn't see it either."
Fang Jiating paused for a moment, picked up a stick, and drew a few shoe prints on the ground: "This, this, and this."
Soon, he drew groups of footprints one after another.
Although the stick did not fall to the ground, Gu Ze Shen and Cao Shaoping were surprised to find that they seemed to see footprints appear out of thin air, less than three meters away from Mountbatten's car.
One group even made a circle before arriving in front of Mountbatten's car.
Many things are like this. When you don’t understand something, you just don’t understand it. But once you understand it, it’s like a sudden enlightenment.
Gu Ze Shen suddenly realized: "The murderer came by car! There was a car parked where the footprints disappeared!"
"This was a premeditated homicide."
Fang Jiating nodded: "Even if it's not, it's not much different."
"There's work to do!"
"Director Gu, please help collect the two sets of shoe prints for evidence."
Gu Zeshen nodded repeatedly: "Okay!"
Fang Jiating nodded.
He carefully observed the two sets of shoe prints: "Record."
Cao Shaoping immediately took out his cell phone and started recording.
Gu Zeshen's eyes lit up next to him.
Wow, can a mobile phone be used like this?
but……
Hua Ting mobile phone does have this recording function, and the sound pickup effect is quite good!
Fang Jiating was very calm:
"Both sets of footprints belong to adult males."
"The previous set of footprints was size 42, and the height was about 170cm."
"The latter set of footprints was size 44, and the height was about 180cm."
"The two sets of footprints are spaced steadily and clearly."
"Both of them walked in a very upright manner."
Fang Jiating took two steps and looked at his footprints carefully.
"My weight is 75 kg,"
"Based on the depth of my footprints, the weight of the previous set of footprints should be around 60kg,"
"The weight of the latter set of footprints should be around 85KG."
Cao Shaoping was stunned.
Wow, he even knows the other person’s height and weight?
He looked at Gu Ze Shen, but Gu Ze Shen nodded slightly to him.
Measuring height and weight by the length and depth of footprints is also a discipline in forensic identification and it is not a random statement.
Fang Jiating looked at the trace of the disappeared car again.
"These two murderers are rich people. They drive Ferrari sports cars!"
Gu Zeshen and Cao Shaoping were both awed.
Fang Jiating neatly drew the tire marks of the Ferrari.
"Collect evidence!"
Gu Ze Shen hurried to collect evidence.
Every car's tire tread is unique.
This was considerable evidence in court.
Gu Zeshen and Cao Shaoping thought Fang Jiating was done with his work.
But it didn't!
Fang Jiating came to the two sets of footprints and placed one pair of feet in the front set of footprints.
Gu Ze Shen and Cao Shaoping immediately understood Fang Jiating's plan - to restore the crime scene.
Fang Jiating walked step by step to the car window.
Gu Ze Shen suddenly felt something was wrong: "Brother Ting, why does this murderer seem so restrained?"
Fang Jiating sneered:
"Correction!"
"There are not two murderers, but only one!"
"The guy I'm imitating now was coerced!"
"The one who killed someone was the big guy at the back!"
Cao Shaoping lost his voice and said, "Case within a case?"
Fang Jiating ordered: "Check the number of people who have gone missing in the past two days."
He paused.
"There are people like this among the missing persons in the next two days, so pay attention to them!"
Cao Shaoping went to make a phone call immediately.
Gu Zeshen frowned and said, "There's a connection here that doesn't make sense!"
Fang Jiating smiled and said, "Director Gu, what did you find?"
Gu Zeshen was not modest either. He knew Fang Jiating was always generous:
"Brother Ting, you just said that the short guy knocked on the window on his own initiative,"
"He was acquainted with Commodore Mountbatten."
"So……"
"That man should know exactly what Brigadier General Mountbatten represents."
"How dare the murderer hold the short man hostage to meet General Mountbatten?"
"This shows that... the murderer is extremely bold."
"This really shows disrespect for the garrison."
Fang Jiating snorted coldly: "A useless soldier has no deterrent power at all!"
Gu Zeshen was speechless.
He secretly complained.
Who made the Hong Kong garrison so unintimidating?
Isn't it you?
But I would never dare say this in front of Fang Jiating.
Gu Ze Shen also thought that Fang Jiating was right. Now in the minds of Hong Kong people, the Hong Kong police force is ranked higher than the garrison in terms of military strength.
Fang Jiating came to the next set of footprints.
After following his footsteps, Gu Zeshen and Cao Shaoping could clearly judge that the tall man they had never met was really fierce.
He was forcing the short man to go straight to Mountbatten's car without stopping.
Fang Jiating finished his inspection and sighed heavily:
"Our workload has increased,"
"Let's find out which wealthy young master in Hong Kong was kidnapped recently!"
Gu Ze Shen and Cao Shao Ping were both shocked!
The two haven't come to the corner for a long time!
Cao Shaoping asked, "Sir, how come another kidnapping case suddenly popped up?"
"Or a rich boy?"
Fang Jiating pointed at two sets of footprints and said, "Isn't this obvious?"
"The tall man coerced the short man into knocking on Mountbatten's car window and shooting him dead."
Gu Zeshen smiled bitterly and said, "We know about this matter. What we want to ask is how you confirmed the identity of the short man."
Fang Jiating explained: "Karl Mountbatten is an extremely cautious person."
"The Security Bureau said that even if he invited Mountbatten to Caesar's Palace for entertainment, he had to bring two personal soldiers with him."
"But look at him now. He only brought a driver."
"What does this mean?"
"The person who made the appointment had a very close relationship with him, which could have made him completely let down his guard."
"In the whole of Hong Kong, there are only me and the Governor."
“No one else in the Governor’s Office has this qualification.”
"Considering Mountbatten's age."
"The only people who can ask him out like this are his former schoolmates."
"And this is Hong Kong. Tell me, what kind of classmates would make Mountbatten not be wary?"
Gu Zeshen and Cao Shaoping were both stunned.
Fang Jiating said again:
"As I said earlier, Mountbatten is a very cautious person."
"So……"
"These two came one after the other, and the one behind was still unusually tall."
"Why wasn't Mountbatten alert?"
Gu Ze Shen blurted out: "Bodyguard! Rich boy's bodyguard!"
Cao Shaoping nodded in agreement.
"That's right!"
"Only bodyguards could leave Mountbatten without suspicion."
“In fact, I even take it for granted.”
Fang Jiating shrugged: "Plus the luxury car these two people took when they came here is evidence."
"I said this is a rich boy who was kidnapped. Do you have any questions?"
Gu Zeshen and Cao Shaoping both shook their heads.
Fang Jiating has explained it couldn't be clearer.
The two of them just felt that Mr. Fang’s logic had always been very clear, and many of his judgments were subconscious.
Therefore, he skipped a lot of explanations.
However, these people still have to push them one by one.
What a difference!
