Hong Kong's 1st Mail Robbery-amended

There were three postmen going to work. Suddenly, two men appeared and blinded two of the postmen with chemical spray and grabbed two mailbags containing 1,100 letters. When the two men ran away, a policeman helped them and called 999. The three postmen went to the police station after leaving the hospital.

After two days, the three postmen got a letter. It wrote, “If you report to the police, we will kill you!” The postmen were very scared, because they told the police about the robbers’ clothes. Now the police was finding them. The postmen were scared that the robbers would come back for revenge, so they found the famous private detective, Alex, for help.

Alex said, “I will help you!” When the postmen left the Alex’s office, they saw many men who looked like gangsters. When the gangsters tried to hit the postmen, four police cars arrived. The gangsters escaped. The postmen were very scared and thought, “Who called the police?” Alex appeared and said, “Me!”

The postmen were very surprised and asked, “Why did you know?” Alex said, “Because I found that there aren’t many people shopping here in Mongkok today. I thought there must be something wrong. It was the gangsters, so I called the police to save you.” Then Alex asked about what the robbers looked like, and the postmen answered, “They were wearing green clothes and were not very tall.”

Alex went to the
New Territories and thought, “If the robbers are gangsters, it will not be easy to find them.” So he investigated the gangsters. There were seven gangs in the New Territories. When the two investigators came back, they said, “The robbers came from Yuen Long.” Alex went to his office and searched for the gangs on the Internet. The gang put some drugs in four envelopes and sold them. If the police knew about the drugs, it would arrest the gangsters.

Alex went to the police station and told the police everything. Then, the police arrested the Yuen Long gang. Alex became famous after this case. But the gang did not disappear, and Alex was very scared. He worked hard on his other cases.
