Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 770: It’s OK to be ambitious, but you must have enough ability

The origin of the arms smuggling case code-named L is very simple and clear, referring to the international arms broker Dr. Luo.

After all, this case was initiated by the customs, and the customs chief Chen Yongqin lowered his profile and visited in person.

Therefore, Kwong Chi-lap does not intend to exclude the customs department from the next action.

Uniting all friends who can be united is the style of doing things passed down by his boss Sir Quan.

Guo Ziqiang, who has been appointed by Chen Guanju, is the full-power representative of the customs.

Before he came to the police headquarters to attend the meeting, Director Chen made a special trip to give him some instructions.

The National Security Department of the Police Force gave their customs a face to restore their lost reputation, and of course their customs also need to have self-awareness.

For all subsequent actions regarding the L arms smuggling case, their customs will mainly cooperate with the National Security Department of the Police Force.

Guo Ziqiang was a man who was very keen on his official career and he was well versed in the art of scheming.

Of course, there is no doubt about his own abilities.

Otherwise, he would not have been chosen by Chen Yongqin as the representative of the customs, and even regarded as his close confidant.

You know, through Chen Yongqin, Guo Ziqiang can even be regarded as Lu Minghua's confidant.

If he was really useless and only knew how to do despicable things, Lu Minghua would have kicked him out long ago.

Deputy Director Lu is very ambitious and he will never allow any problems to exist among his direct subordinates.

In a certain sense, Guo Ziqiang can actually represent Lu Minghua's existence.

On top of his good abilities, he is also adept at dealing with the ways of the world. How could he not know what attitude he should maintain now?

Whatever action plan his colleagues in the National Security Department of the police force have, he will cooperate without any compromise.

The brothers from the Operations Security Department and the Political Investigation Department also expressed a very warm welcome to Guo Ziqiang's attendance at the meeting.

Amidst a round of applause, Guo Ziqiang sat down again.

Immediately afterwards, Kuang Chi-lap officially began to deploy the operation.

"Ah Zhan, you are responsible for the investigation of the L arms crime group."

"Aqiang, you are responsible for initiating a new round of customs review and assessment."

In fact, Kwong Chi-lap's action plan is very simple, the two major departments just need to perform their respective duties.

He Wenzhan and Liu Baoqiang are fully capable of handling more specific work details.

To put it bluntly, if it had not been for this arms smuggling case codenamed L, which happened after the typhoon disaster in Hong Kong Island, it was a tense time for all departments of the Hong Kong government.

In addition, behind this case, there is the issue of corrupt elements within the customs.

A combination of various factors led to this case being brought up directly at the police force’s core work meeting.

Otherwise, whether it is He Wenzhan or Liu Baoqiang, both of them are fully qualified to be responsible for this case alone.

"Yes, sir!"

He Wenzhan and Liu Baoqiang nodded in tacit understanding and accepted the order in unison.

"Mr. Guo, do you have anything to add from the customs department?"

Out of politeness, Kwong Chi-lap turned his attention to Guo Ziqiang sitting opposite him and specifically asked about the customs' opinion.

"Sir, our Ports and Maritime Affairs Department has urgently activated the emergency investigation mechanism today."

Guo Ziqiang sat upright and nodded solemnly.

"Before I rushed to the police station, I actually found some valuable clues."

Kuang Zhili originally just asked casually, and he didn't expect that Guo Ziqiang actually gained some benefits.

"Oh?" Kuang Zhili leaned forward slowly and became interested.

"Please introduce Mr. Guo to everyone."

Guo Ziqiang had his own unique qualities that enabled him to be entrusted with such an important task by Chen Guanju, the director of the Customs.

It is not shameful to be good at scheming. What is terrible is that one only knows how to take shortcuts and flatter.

At this moment, Guo Ziqiang undoubtedly demonstrated his abilities.

After receiving instructions from Director Chen Guan, he immediately took corresponding measures.

He had done his homework in advance for the joint action meeting currently being held within the National Security Department of the police force.

"Sir, colleagues, by comparing various clues in this L arms case, I have locked onto a shipping company in Hong Kong, KCS."

"Half a month before Typhoon Poseidon approached Hong Kong Island, a KCS ship entered Hong Kong Island."

"As of today, the ship has not left Hong Kong Island, and even the AIS signal has completely disappeared."

"No one knows where this cargo ship is."

AIS signal, the full name is the signal of the Automatic Identification System of Ships.

This is a type of equipment that the International Maritime Organization has stipulated must be installed on ships in recent years.

Applied to maritime safety and communication navigation systems between ship and shore, and between ships.

Legal and compliant ships can use this equipment and signal to ensure that all their navigation routes can be traced.

The disappearance of the AIS signal does not mean that the corresponding ship is suspected of smuggling, but there is definitely an abnormality.

“It is worth mentioning that this ship has exactly the same specifications as the smuggling ship involved in the L arms case.”

A fierce look flashed in the depths of Guo Ziqiang's eyes, and he continued to introduce the clues and information he had investigated.

"The most important point is that I found that our Ports and Maritime Affairs Department had very few spot inspection reports on KCS, which did not comply with the normal sampling survey procedures."

“This shipping company has a huge monthly throughput and this situation is definitely not normal.”

Guo Ziqiang's words undoubtedly exposed the serious problems existing within their customs.

The disappearance of the AIS signal of a cargo ship may be an accident.

It could also be a coincidence that the cargo ship was of the same model and specifications as the cargo ship used to illegally smuggle arms.

But if there are abnormalities in the inspection records of the shipping company that owns this cargo ship, the mystery behind it is obviously not that simple.

There is no doubt that there are people who abuse their power for personal gain and break the law within the maritime action team responsible for ship inspections.

This shipping company is most likely the smuggling transit point for the arms dealer Dr. Law in Hong Kong Island.

"Mr. Guo is indeed a capable operator in the Customs field. These clues are very important."

With a slight nod, a satisfied smile appeared on Kuang Zhili's lips.

The fact that he allowed Guo Ziqiang to attend the current meeting meant that he recognized Guo Ziqiang's abilities.

Looking back now, it is no wonder that Guo Ziqiang is confident in competing for the position of deputy director of their customs.

When it comes to his job ability, he is indeed very good at it.

"Ah Zhan, Ah Qiang, the two of you should make contact with Mr. Guo and take appropriate actions immediately."

The police force already had a lot of useful clues, and now they also had the homework that Guo Ziqiang had done in advance.

The next action is naturally not difficult. We just need to follow the map and conduct the investigation.
