The Infernal Affairs of Hong Kong

Chapter 491 The Situation Is Out of Control (please subscribe for a monthly pass)

Casinos are just one corner of the spectrum.

With the passage of time, more and more citizens learned of the inside story of this conflict, and the incident continued to ferment.

The gates of the police force and the ICAC are surrounded by media, and the first-hand news at this time is sales and money.

West Kowloon Region and Hong Kong Island Headquarters, these two places were the hardest hit areas besieged by reporters.

The West Kowloon Region was originally okay, because as soon as the incident happened, the high-level West Kowloon issued a gag order in an attempt to cover up the conflict between the police and corruption.

But now it can't be blocked, and everyone is talking about it, so it's still a fart, the key is to throw the pot away.

The direction of the wind changed directly, and all the responsibilities rested with Lianji. The higher-ups ordered one to be killed, and it was Lianji who took the lead.

The police who were stopped by the headquarters didn't matter much. Regardless of the truth of the matter, it was Lian Ji's fault anyway. As a policeman, he was absolutely right.

in the afternoon.

The police force held a press conference.

The police spokesman was outspoken and blatantly criticized.

"The ICAC did not follow the rules in handling cases, and forcibly took away the assistant director when a major meeting was held, which caused unfavorable deployment in the West Kowloon area.

And in the subsequent incidents, he mishandled the incident and took the lead in pulling and injuring the police officers, which led to the conflict between the police and integrity.

The ICAC should take full responsibility! "

"Wow." The reporter was in an uproar.

Saying this at the press conference is tantamount to tearing up the face directly, and it is an undisguised slap in the face of the ICAC.

I somewhat thought that the police force officials might be a little more tactful, and it is impossible to turn major issues into minor ones.

The reporters were all ready to chase and fight, but the spokesperson did not follow the routine at all. This is the second time since 1977 that the police force has launched an assault on the ICAC.

Then the excitement filled the faces of every reporter, and there was excitement to watch.

After the meeting, reporters forcibly blocked the Hong Kong No. [-] car of the Commissioner of Police at the gate of the headquarters, forcing him to express his views on the incident and the spokesperson's speech at the press conference.

The director faced the camera, and still scolded and accused him from another angle.

"In this incident, the ICAC's actions were extremely inappropriate. The case was overly publicized and attracted public attention. Their purpose was not to demonstrate the spirit of the rule of law, but to elevate the ICAC and discredit the police force!"

The Commissioner and the Police Force Spokesperson have one voice!
Everything is the ICAC's fault!
What are you waiting for?
Just before the news was broadcast, the reporter's microphone hit the ICAC's face again.

The ICAC staff who came in and out were stopped one after another and asked to express their opinions.

The smart ones hurried to pee, and the angry ones sprayed on the spot, and the target of spraying was of course the police force.

How could it be that the ICAC made the first move?
The ICAC is not a police force, and usually does not hold press conferences every day at all, but today it is urgent to hold an additional one.

Under the high expectations of the reporters, the ICAC spokesperson arrived late, obviously after some communication from the upper levels.

The spokesperson lived up to expectations and publicly refuted various accusations made by the police force on stage.

The spokesperson will tell the whole story about what happened at the door of the conference room of the West Kowloon Region, which makes people feel childish.

Emphasis is placed on how naive and short-sighted some senior officers of the police force are, and how tolerant and humble the ICAC agents are.

"The statement made by the police force is completely slanderous!"

The ICAC spokesman was filled with righteous indignation: "The high-level police force participated in illegal activities first, and the latter did not cooperate with the ICAC's investigation.

Treating the court summons as waste paper and refusing to cooperate for 3 hours, who is disregarding the spirit of the rule of law? "

Hiss, cool!
The reporter was very sour. This was a refutation of the remarks made by the Commissioner of Police in court.

The director talked about the rule of law, but the ICAC said that the police force did not obey the rule of law, and directly slapped the face with established facts.

The ICAC spokesperson continued to speak eloquently: "To smear the police force, the police still need our ICAC to smear it? The assistant director is still drinking tea in the ICAC interrogation room, this is the truth!

Some high-level officers of the police force quit their business and instigated the military uniforms to use such despicable means to cause this conflict between police and integrity. All the responsibilities must be borne by the police force! "

Okay, what we want is a violent conflict. The reporter is very satisfied. Don't be shy, let's fight and fight.

You can take a break from get off work today, but you must continue to shoot tomorrow.

The news of the conflict between the two sides was edited and urgently broadcast directly on the evening news, which aroused keen attention.

There is no way, the two power organizations end up in a hedge, which is even better than Miss Hong Kong's draft.

After watching it, I watched all kinds of politicians and news celebrities comment enthusiastically on this incident, so that TVB's ratings that night suffered a sharp decline.

What does TVB have to do with me?

Somewhat aggrieved.

The conflict intensified again!

That night, a gang of military uniforms from the regional police station rushed into the ICAC office building with guns.

After accidentally damaging several public facilities;
After accidentally firing two shots;
After accidentally injuring several people who violently resisted the law;

Successfully brought 17 ICAC staff back to the police station for questioning.

The euphemistic name is to assist in the investigation.

Specific content, no comment.

Totally blown up!

That night, the matter came to the governor, who made the governor the boss of ICAC.

The next day the news was still broadcast, and the newspapers were still noisy. Everyone was waiting for today's more climactic war of words or full force.

But all events are paused.

Both the police force and ICAC senior officials kept their mouths shut.

Lao Gao was on the phone with Zhou Yu.

"Lao Lian ran to complain. The first brother was called over and scolded last night. The wind direction will change from today."

Sitting in the interrogation room, Zhou Yu sneered: "It's an old tradition, playing 50 big boards at the same time."

However, predicting this matter can only be due to Lian Kee's dumbness, who makes their sense of presence not as strong as that of the police force.

"How are they going to deal with this now?"

Zhou Yu asked about the case. The conflict between police and integrity can be mediated on the surface, but the case certainly cannot.

Even the governor can't let Lian Ji release him directly. Doesn't that mean that Lian Ji made a mistake, so he has to take all the blame?
That means Lian Ji is the culprit in this incident.

It's okay to be wronged a little bit, but it's definitely not okay to take the blame.

"The governor requested that the case be closed quickly to completely calm the storm."

For this matter to come to an end, the root of the matter still lies in the case itself.

"Quickly, how quickly?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Within today, no matter what the outcome is, the case will be closed."

"Damn! How shameless."

Zhou Yu was speechless, this matter did not match his thoughts.

Originally, he thought it would be good to return to the case itself, but the Governor helped him a step.

Zhou Yu didn't want this incident to become a real conflict between police and integrity.

Conflicts between the police and corruption are useless. The public's attention is all on the police force and the ICAC. Who remembers who Cai Yuanqi is?
Only by focusing the public's attention on Cai Yuanqi can this be accomplished.

He also didn't expect that people from the police station would dare to rush into the ICAC to beat and arrest people, and all the firepower was diverted away.

It's just a day now, and the original plan is interrupted, which is simply too shameless.

Then some plans can only be advanced. Anyway, with the big killer in hand, the ending is the same.

"This is a brilliant move. It kills two birds with one stone. It is clearly said to calm down the storm, but in fact it is probably for the purpose of picking Cai Yuanqi out."

"Well, as expected of Xixuan's father, he wanted to go with me."

What Lao Gao said is indeed very possible. It can only be said that this trick is deeply hidden, and the governor of Hong Kong uses the name of mediation to justify his name.

"It's not big or small." Lao Gao cursed angrily, and then said: "Hey, let me tell you, there will be some high-level officials passing by today to watch the interrogation. You are also one of the targets of attention. Pay attention."

"What are you looking at me for?" Zhou Yu muttered, and with a thought, he asked in a drawn-out voice: "Gao sir, you couldn't have provoked this matter, could you?"

"Why do I ask others to look at you, you look good?"

Lao Gao sneered, and then calmly said: "This matter is not aimed at you, it is Cai Yuanqi. It is a good thing to let some people see it. Cai Yuanqi will restrain himself to some extent, otherwise I am afraid that he will not be stressed enough."

Lao Gao did make a move, but only later.

Some people proposed to see Cai Yuanqi, saying that the police and corruption were at the forefront, and they were afraid that ICAC would do something to him.

This is nonsense, how dare ICAC treat an assistant director like this, their purpose is nothing more than to embolden Cai Yuanqi.

As for whether it is from that group of people, it is obvious.

Lao Gao will go along with the flow, and if you want to see it, let everyone watch it together.

As for whether the scene will be good or not, it depends on the development of the situation.

At 9:30 in the morning, everyone from the police force arrived and was dragged directly to the conference room by the ICAC.

There are 4 high-level members of the police force, plus 3 high-level members of the ICAC.

The atmosphere is definitely not good. Just after such an incident happened, several people greeted each other with guns and sticks, with a strange air of yin and yang.

No matter what the daily relationship is like, you must stick to your position in the public.

Except for Yu Hongsheng, deputy director of the Executive Department of the ICAC, he has a very good attitude. He is Lu Zhilian's boss.

"Didn't you watch the interrogation? What do you want to say?" Deputy Director Guo Zhanliang didn't know what the ICAC was going to do, so he asked directly.

Yu Hongsheng raised his hands, smiled and said, "Everyone sit down, I have something to discuss with you."

"Let's talk." Guo Zhanliang sat down with a straight face.

Yu Hongsheng said with a smile: "That's right, although the boss gave us one day, we only plan to conduct this interrogation once."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the police force softened a little, and ICAC was still a bit discerning, and it softened.

Guo Zhanliang's attitude softened: "Well, that's fine, everyone is busy, hurry up."

"However, we have a small change." Yu Hongsheng said directly: "That is to let Zhou Yu participate in this interrogation."

"What?" Guo Zhanliang frowned in surprise: "If Zhou Yu is allowed to participate, the people involved in the case must avoid it. Don't you understand this truth?"

"Of course I understand." Yu Hongsheng still smiled and said, "Isn't the boss asking us to close the case as soon as possible?
In an extraordinary time, an extraordinary method should be practiced, and you all ran here without worrying about it.

Why, Zhou Yu is one of your own, you can't accept him to interrogate? "

These words were thorny, but none of the people present had a thin skin and ignored them directly.

Guo Zhanliang glanced at Lao Gao and asked calmly, "You arranged it?"

"They asked me for my opinion, and I agree." Lao Gao said indifferently without denying it.

Guo Zhanliang looked away and didn't speak for a while.

Senior Assistant Director Qian Ruian pulled his face and said in a deep voice: "Gao sir, this is not appropriate, you ask Zhou Yu, a chief inspector, to interrogate an assistant director, and if word spreads, where do you want Cai Sir to put his face?"

Lao Gao snorted coldly, stared at him and said, "Cai Yuanqi dares to frame Zhou Yu, and I'll save him face? Do you think I'm sick?"

"But Zhou Yu is also a suspect!"

"Even if you asked Zhou Yu to interrogate, what is his identity? He is a policeman, not ICAC. This is the ICAC, so it's inappropriate."

"What is appropriate? What is not appropriate?"

Lao Gao glanced at him coldly, knocked the table and shouted: "Can you consider this issue from the standpoint of the police force? Whether it's Zhou Yu's problem or his Cai Yuanqi's problem, do you think the police force's face can Is there light? Wouldn’t it be better to end it sooner?”

"Okay, this matter is out of dispute." Guo Zhanliang waved his hand, looked at Yu Hongsheng and frowned and said, "Just one game?"

Yu Hongsheng smiled and nodded: "Just one game."

Guo Zhanliang snorted: "Since ICAC is not afraid of losing face, it would rather use people from the police force. What the police force is afraid of, let's make it so, let's start."

"Okay, let's start."

Yu Hongsheng shrugged. ICAC is afraid of shame, but even more afraid of being blamed.

The public opinion is like this. If the case is not solved, the person will not be lost. How can we get rid of the blame for creating conflicts?
