Chapter 6 Don’t be afraid, cousin, I’ll take care of everything! After a moment of Sen sat down calmly and said to Cheng Long, "Since you have already put forward the conditions, if we don't agree, I think this confession will be in vain. You will definitely not cooperate in identifying the murderer later. I can help you with the ID card, but whether it can be done depends on the attitude of my boss." "Then I'll leave it to you, Sir Chen!" "Leave me your phone number and wait for my news later." "..." After a while. Cheng Long walked out of the police station and followed Gao Tianli, who had just finished recording his statement, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng! If it weren't for you today, it would have been difficult for me to get out." "The innocent are innocent. You didn't do it. Even without me, the police will clear your name." Helping Gao Tianli was just a side job. Cheng Long's main purpose was to take the opportunity to obtain a permanent residence permit in Hong Kong. The system only gives a two-week family visit visa. If you want to stay, you have to find a way yourself, either find a job quickly and get a work visa, or find someone to apply for a certificate in one step. He was very lucky. He accidentally ran into an armed gangster robbing on the street, which gave him the opportunity to kidnap Officer John.
John is Chen Sen's boss, the Chief Inspector of the Serious Crime Squad. I am John, a thief who curries favor with the powerful. If I have the chance to solve the case and curry favor with the wealthy businessman Lei Youcai, I will definitely not miss it. For John, helping people apply for permanent residence permits is no big deal. Cheng Long will be able to get his ID card in three days at the latest. He has this confidence. "Mr. Cheng, you can't say that. Even if the police can clear my name, that's a matter for the future. My wife's due date is today, and I can't let anything happen to her." Gao Tianli was grateful to Cheng Long from the bottom of his heart. If Mr. Cheng had not come forward to clear his suspicion, those people in the serious crime squad would definitely not let him go. Everything that happened before was just too much of a coincidence. "Oh, congratulations. Remember to treat me to a full-month banquet when your baby is one month old." "sure." Gao Tianli's face was full of smiles. As they were chatting, a taxi stopped in front of them, and then a pregnant woman in a plaid skirt hurriedly got out of the car. She looks good and has a pitiful look. "Amei~~" "Ali, I'm so glad you're okay." The couple hugged each other happily, and it was obvious that Gao Tianli had a deep affection for his wife. He stuck out his butt while hugging, for fear of accidentally touching his wife's belly. Cheng Long didn't like eating dog food and being a light bulb. Just as he was about to leave quietly, Gao Tianli grabbed his hand and he had to stop. "Amei, Mr. Cheng is our benefactor. It was because of him that I was able to leave the police station so quickly..." Gao Tianli introduced enthusiastically.
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng." Ah Mei's face was full of gratitude and her eyes were sincere, without a trace of perfunctoriness. When she received the phone call, she was so anxious that she almost had a miscarriage. She was worried all the way to the police station. At this critical juncture when her baby was about to be born, she really didn’t know what to do if her husband was detained. "It's just a small favor. Don't be so polite. Just call me A-Long. Don't keep calling me Mr. Cheng. It makes me seem like I'm older than you." "Haha..." Gao Tianli laughed heartily: "Along, since you said so, then I will drag you out and call you Along from now on." "Brother Li, take sister-in-law to the hospital quickly. I think she is about to give birth." Cheng Long remembered that Gao Tianli in the original storyline had hysterically said after kidnapping Lei Zhilan that his wife had a difficult delivery and died because she was detained by the police for five hours and the delay led to her death. Go earlier, the child won’t lose his mother at birth. Although there is no obvious health problem with Mrs. Gao at the moment, human life is at stake, so the sooner she passes away, the better off she will be. When Gao Tianli heard about the child, he no longer cared about anything else. He hurriedly expressed his gratitude and took his wife to stop a car and go to the hospital. …… Leave the police station. Cheng Long took a taxi back to Southeast Middle School and rented an apartment in a nearby tenement building. The apartment had two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. The monthly rent was 1,200 yuan, with a deposit of 800 yuan, to be paid every three months. Cheng Long didn't know how long he would live here, so he only paid one quarter's rent, which included a deposit of 4400 yuan in total. For a low-income citizen, this was a considerable expense. In the late 80s, the median monthly income in Hong Kong Island was just over yuan, and most of the people below were lower-class citizens with monthly incomes of to yuan, or to yuan. In this era, the society paid 100 yuan for showing off one's horse, 300 yuan for hacking people, and only 100,000 yuan for killing someone or being hacked to death. The income of the police was far from as high as it is in later generations. Of course, compared to the precarious gangsters and the hard-working people, the police's income is still quite good, and they have dormitories to live in without having to spend extra money on housing rent. After renting a house and buying some furniture and daily necessities, it was dark before Cheng Long had time to pack up. In order to avoid worrying his uncle and aunt, he had to put everything aside and hurried back. "Uncle, what happened to Afang?" As soon as he entered the door, Cheng Long saw his cousin sitting at the dining table, drinking beer, his aunt with a worried look on her face, and his cousin Zhu Wanfang crying with her head down. "Hey……" Zhu Wenxiong looked at his disappointing daughter and sighed, "Afang is such a silly girl. I told her not to recognize anyone, but she just wouldn't listen. I finally managed to deal with Xiaoza yesterday, but she insisted on provoking others. Sooner or later, she will kill me." "Axiong, don't talk nonsense." My cousin's mother glared at my cousin. Cheng Long smiled and agreed, "Yes, cousin, you are too serious. Xiaosha is not a murderous demon. Why would he kill someone for such a small matter? At most, he can threaten Ah Fang to pay compensation. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter." Zhu Wenxiong said unhappily, "You want to settle it? I'm here to feed and lodge you, what can you do to settle it?" Cheng Long did not argue with his uncle. He turned his head to look at his cousin and asked in confusion: "Afang, didn't I tell you this morning? If you recognize someone, you will be blackmailed by Xiaosao. Why are you..." "Cousin, I know this is not a good thing to do, but a fierce-looking policeman threatened me, saying that if I didn't recognize someone, I would be obstructing justice, and he wanted to arrest me and put me in jail..."
"Also, I think what Sir Hai said makes sense. Usually when something happens, nine out of ten people say they can't recognize the person. Then when someone dies in the house, they blame the police for their incompetence. Besides, Teacher Wen also taught me that I must be a person with a clear conscience, so I..." Zhu Wanfang lowered her head and said weakly. She knew that recognizing people would cause trouble, and her mother had been trying to dissuade her. However, what Teacher Wen and Sir Hai said was also true. If everyone did not cooperate, the criminals would become more rampant and society would become more and more chaotic. Killing people and setting fires will earn you a golden belt, building bridges and repairing roads will leave no corpses. This is not how people should behave... "Just admit it, it's okay, I'll take care of everything." Looking at his pitiful cousin who was crying softly, Cheng Long couldn't bring himself to say any words of blame. What's more, he was also trying to be a good citizen today. Although his purpose was not very pure, the nature was the same. Therefore, he had no right to blame his cousin. At worst, I can find an opportunity tonight and kill Xiaosha and his gang in advance. (End of this chapter)
