Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Chapter 221 An old case from 6 years ago

Looking at the small pile of jewels on the table, Lu Yongqiang was speechless. He just asked Shouhou to check the value of the necklace on the neck of the clothing store owner. He didn't expect Shouhou to take the initiative to give all the jewels to Lu Yongqiang.

Lu Yongqiang said with a bitter face: "Skinny Monkey, you also said that this pair of gem earrings is the least valuable of all the jewelry, but it is also worth millions. Such a valuable batch of things, and they are all black goods, obviously their origin is questionable.

Now that you've got these things back, you definitely can't wear them, and selling them would be risky. You can only keep them as a collection, which is like a waste. It's a waste to throw them away, and they're tasteless to eat. You're really good..."

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, the skinny monkey said awkwardly, "Boss, I...I...I'm having this old problem again. When I see valuables, I can't help but want to take them for myself."

Lu Yongqiang rolled his eyes and said, "Where is that woman? Where is she now?"

The skinny monkey said, "The man was knocked unconscious, tied up and thrown into the trunk of the car. I'll go and deal with him right away and make sure to take care of everything thoroughly." With that, the skinny monkey stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Lu Yongqiang hurriedly called out to Shouhou, "Don't touch this woman. Since Huang Youde hid the jewelry in this woman's house, he obviously has a good relationship with her. I'm afraid they have been dating for some time. The police will find this woman sooner or later.

If this woman disappears, the police will quickly find out that I was in her clothing store. Even if there is no evidence to prove that she is missing, many people will suspect me just based on my identity.

At this point, Lu Yongqiang felt a headache. He shouldn't have been curious. If he hadn't been curious, he wouldn't have asked Shouhou to check the authenticity of the necklace, and he wouldn't be in this dilemma now.

Lu Yongqiang pondered for a moment and asked, "Shouhou, did this woman discover your identity? Did she see your face?"

Skinny Monkey thought for a moment and said, "She probably didn't realize my identity. I hid on her way home in advance. When she was going home, I knocked her out while she wasn't paying attention, and then took her away in a large suitcase.

I checked the location ahead of time, and there were no surveillance cameras there. Later, when I interrogated the woman, I also wore a mask. When I went to her house to get the jewelry, I also disguised myself. Everything was done very cleanly, and she probably didn't know who kidnapped her.

After hearing what Shouhou said, Lu Yongqiang secretly felt relieved. Since Shouhou's identity had not been exposed, there was still a possibility of making this happen.

Lu Yongqiang pondered for a moment and said, "Skinny Monkey, let this woman go and return the jewelry to her..."

"Let her go? And return the jewelry to her?" Before Lu Yongqiang could finish his words, the skinny monkey spoke anxiously: "Boss, this is worth hundreds of millions, are you just going to give it up like that?"

Lu Yongqiang said unhappily, "Skinny monkey, are you short of money?"

The skinny monkey was stunned for a moment and said, "That's not a shortage, but this..."

Before the skinny monkey could finish his words, Lu Yongqiang said, "Don't say buts. I've already explained that these jewels are valuable, but their provenance is questionable. They can't be worn or sold. They can only be kept as a collection. To us, they are useless.

It would be fine if they were just useless, but these things are also very troublesome. We are not short of money now, so there is no need to cause such trouble.

That woman, frightened by you like that, would definitely run away immediately after you let her go. If she wasn't as dumb as a pig, she would have realized that these jewels were too valuable and carrying them around would cause trouble. She would have found a place to hide them and returned to Hong Kong to retrieve them after the storm had died down.

After she leaves Hong Kong safely, we will try to find this batch of jewels. By then, the risks and troubles will be much smaller, which will be beneficial to us.

If she failed to leave Hong Kong, whether he was caught by gangsters or the police, through her, it would be proved that Huang Youde was a corrupt police officer.

After this incident, whether Huang Youde is dead or alive, he can no longer be a police officer. Without him, our troubles in Qingshan Bay will be over."

As Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, the skinny monkey said, "Boss, then we'll just let that woman go and do nothing else?"

Lu Yongqiang nodded and said, "That's right! Just do nothing! As those police officers said, everything you do leaves traces. Since we don't want to cause trouble, then we shouldn't do anything to avoid being implicated.

Skinny Monkey, let me tell you, this matter is quite troublesome. First of all, where did this batch of jewelry come from? And how did the jewelry end up in Zhang Wangcai's hands? What is the relationship between Zhang Wangcai and Huang Youde? If you get involved in these things, don't even think about getting away with it.

While talking, Lu Yongqiang accidentally saw the newspaper on the table. The newspaper had Huang Youde's portrait printed on it, and it was reporting the news that Huang Youde had been kidnapped.

Lu Yongqiang thought for a moment and then said, "When you release that woman, remind her to buy a newspaper. I'm afraid she still doesn't know that Huang Youde has been kidnapped."

…………

After the clothing store owner was released by Skinny Monkey, just as Lu Yongqiang had expected, the woman did not call the police, but packed up her things and ran away overnight.

Originally, this woman could have left Hong Kong City, but she was too greedy and too stupid, and was eventually taken away by the police at the airport.

The woman didn't find a place to hide the jewels, but chose to take the jewels with her.

Because of the photos that Fellow Daoist Lin took out, this batch of jewelry has been registered by both the black and white worlds.

At the airport, airport security inspectors discovered the jewelry and immediately notified the police, and the woman was taken away directly.

This woman was not tough to begin with, and she didn't have much brains. When the police interrogated her, she told them everything she knew, including her relationship with Huang Youde.

After learning about a batch of illicit jewelry, the police have been investigating the origins of the jewelry.

At first, it was thought that this batch of jewelry came from Hong Kong, but unexpectedly, Interpol found a clue that this batch of jewelry actually came from abroad and was a batch of jewelry stolen in France ten years ago.

After finding the origin of the jewelry, the police followed the clues and unexpectedly uncovered an old case in Hong Kong City.

Six years ago, a family massacre occurred in Tuen Mun.

A family of four of a well-known jeweler was murdered in the middle of the night. The case was closed that year and the murderer was shot dead by the police.

Coincidentally, this case involved Zhang Wangcai, Dao Youlin and Huang Youde.

When the case happened, Daoyou Lin was the jeweler's driver, Zhang Wangcai was the jeweler's friend, and Huang Youde was the one who shot and killed the murderer.

After the incident, the police found a set of unfamiliar footprints and fingerprints in the jeweler's home, and all the property in the house was looted.

The case was handled by a CIB officer from Tuen Mun Police Station. Before the CIB could identify the murderer, Huang Youde had already shot and killed him.

The case file records that Huang Youde, who was a uniformed police officer at the time, noticed the murderer looked panicked while on patrol.

Huang Youde felt something was wrong, so he stopped the murderer and wanted to check his ID card. The murderer pushed Huang Youde away in panic and ran away.

Huang Youde chased the murderer relentlessly and finally reached a dead end. The murderer, seeing that he could not get rid of Huang Youde, took out his weapon and tried to kill him. Huang Youde then fought with the murderer and after being stabbed, he had no choice but to shoot and then killed the murderer with one shot.

Later, the police found some of the lost property from the jeweler's home in the bag carried by the murderer, and thus suspected that the murderer was the culprit of the family massacre.

After comparing footprints and fingerprints, it was confirmed that the murderer had been to the jeweler's house.

Later, the police searched the murderer's home and found more evidence, such as other property, the murder weapon, and bloody clothes.

Because it was a family massacre, the police did not know how much property the jeweler had or how many valuables were lost from his home. Many of the conclusions were drawn based on the confessions of the driver, Daoyou Lin, and his friend Zhang Wangcai.

For example, in Daoyou Lin's confession, he mentioned that the jeweler had just withdrawn a sum of 200,000 yuan in cash, which was later found in the murderer's home. There was also a valuable watch on the jeweler's wrist, which was also found.

Zhang Wangcai also mentioned that the jeweler's wife had a ruby necklace around her neck, which was later found in the murderer's home.

Because the valuables mentioned in Zhang Wangcai and Daoyou Lin's confessions were basically found in the murderer's home, the police naturally decided that the case could be closed.

Now it seems that there were serious problems with this case back then.

It is very likely that one of Zhang Wangcai and fellow Taoist Lin discovered the true identity of the jeweler and learned of the existence of this batch of jewels, and thus designed this tragic case of annihilation.

At that time, Huang Youde had just started working and did not know Zhang Wangcai and Daoyou Lin. He should have nothing to do with the family massacre. It is more likely that he killed the murderer who knew the inside story by coincidence, and indirectly helped Zhang Wangcai and Daoyou Lin cover up the truth.

After the police found problems with the case, they immediately re-investigated the family murder case.

However, the case happened too long ago, and several parties involved were either missing or dead, so it was impossible to find any useful clues in a short period of time.

Just when the police were in trouble, someone unexpectedly sent them key evidence.

The person who delivered the evidence turned out to be Daoist Lin’s unknown daughter.

The tragic massacre was indeed committed by fellow Taoist Lin and Zhang Wangcai.

At that time, Daoist Fellow Lin worked as a driver for a jeweler. He occasionally overheard the conversation between the jeweler couple and learned about the existence of this batch of jewels.

Daoist Fellow Lin later casually mentioned this matter to Zhang Wangcai, and then Zhang Wangcai took it to heart.

Afterwards, the two of them planned to murder the entire family. Taoist friend Lin was the insider, and Zhang Wangcai hired someone to do the killing. The person who was shot dead was indeed the murderer.

When the two men first planned, they had no intention of killing anyone. They were just looking for money. At first, they wanted to kidnap the jeweler and his family, and then force them to tell the whereabouts of the jewels.

However, no one expected that the murderer did not kidnap the jeweler and his family as planned. Instead, he was tempted by the money and directly killed the jeweler and his family.

As a result, things got messed up. The murderer robbed the jeweler's house of all the valuables, but Zhang Wangcai and Taoist Lin did not get the jewelry.
