Fiction: Group 4
“Bam!” came a sound that stopped all breathing and paused the time. The inspector looked down at his
chest: a sticky red substance was already infiltrating his white shirt. He looked over at the far end of the hall,
and saw two familiar men, one holding a gun, fleeing. Next, he felt a sudden pain and found his breathing
more difficult by the second. Everything turned into a blur. Camera lights, crowds of people were rotating
around him. He dropped to the floor. Knowing what has just happened, he quickly drew out the USB and
thrust it into the hands of the nearest reporter next to him, before closing his eyes and seeing nothing but
absolute blackness.

It was a week after the sudden attack. The inspector found that he was lying in a white bed, surrounded by
white walls and a white ceiling. He saw a newspaper lying next to him, with some familiar pictures. He
immediately held it up and read: “Secret of Huang Revealed. Hero Inspector Still Unconscious in Hospital”
“The gun-shooting incident happened a week ago has had a new twist. It turned out that Mr. Huang, the
billionaire who had done a lot of charity, has also carried out the act of money laundering for eight years.
Thanks to the inspector who was deep in a coma after being shot, the police have been able to discover
Huang’s evidence in the black market so efficiently and caught Huang at the last minute when he was at the
Hong Kong borders. Huang is now under charges of money laundering and murdering of the inspector’s
late father. A hearing will be scheduled in May…
A smile came across the inspector’s face for the first time after his father died.
