Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 888: Deputy Director Situ takes a gamble

In everything, we judge by deeds rather than intentions, regardless of what Situ Jie really thinks.

But his current actions obviously provide a guarantee for the actions of Zhang Debiao and others.

The document that Situ Jie pushed out was prepared by him before convening the action meeting.

It has his personal signature, as well as private and official seals.

There is no doubt that Situ Jie has closely linked himself with the follow-up actions of this kidnapping case.

If everything goes well, Situ Jie will not suffer any loss but will also make friends with a very influential figure in Hong Kong's business community.

But if some accidents really occur during the operation, Situ Jie will certainly be held responsible.

However, for him, this may not be an opportunity that may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Don’t underestimate Situ Jie, who is also from the West Kowloon Region and has served under Zhou Quan.

But in fact, when Zhou Quan was at the grassroots level of the police force, he was mainly responsible for anti-gang and anti-drug work.

Some ordinary criminal cases are almost always handled by the regional crime squad.

Moreover, what about Szeto Kit, who was the Chief Inspector of the Uniformed Services?

The relationship between him and Zhou Quan was limited to that of superior and subordinate, and he would only occasionally cooperate with Zhou Quan's actions.

Even if they participate in the action, they are just the most peripheral link.

Zhou Quan’s operations were always large-scale, and the mobile forces and the Flying Tigers were the main offensive forces for his operations.

The uniformed department is basically only responsible for setting up cordons.

It is precisely because of this that Situ Jie can barely be considered Zhou Quan's nominal old subordinate.

In fact, he was not qualified to have close contact with Zhou Quan.

For Situ Jie, isn’t this kidnapping an opportunity?

Going out of his way to support fellow police officers who have a close relationship with his boss might put him within the sight of his boss.

Even though his boss was far-sighted, he might not pay attention to him, the chief superintendent who had not yet taken office in the police force.

But if he could gain the favor of the core management officers of the police force under his own boss, even if he could only contact the three colleagues of the same level as him in the National Security Department of Tai Kwun.

Then all his efforts were not in vain, and it can even be said that he gained a lot.

If you want to plan something for yourself, you have to take the corresponding risks.

As Deputy Commissioner Situ, he also wanted to appreciate the style of the core management of the police force.

Whether it is his career prospects or his own network, Situ Jie is willing to take a gamble.

Most importantly, he is a member of the police force management after all and has enough strength to deal with all accidents.

To put it bluntly, even if Huo Zhaotang was killed by the kidnappers, Situ Jie could still bear the main responsibility for the failure of the operation.

In essence, it is nothing more than whether Situ Jie himself wants or not.

“Sir, I understand!”

No matter what Situ Jie's mentality was, he did give a very sincere guarantee, so that Zhang Debiao no longer had any worries.

After all, no matter what, he will be serving in the Kowloon East Region for a long time in the future.

The competition at the police force's commissar level is more intense than that at the inspector level.

Otherwise, Zhang Debiao would not have been able to hold the rank of Chief Inspector.

After all, Qiu Gangao under his command, and Zhang Chongbang from the next group, have both been carrying two stars and one bar for a long time.

Behind this result, there is certainly the fact that Qiu Gangao and Zhang Chongbang have outstanding case-handling abilities.

But the main reason is that there are not enough vacancies in the Police Force. If Cheung Tak-biao wants to be promoted to the Police Force's Gazette Superintendent, his only option is to be the Chief of the Serious Crime Unit of the Kowloon East Region.

Unless the bigwigs above him personally take action and make an exception to promote or transfer him.

As the deputy commander of the Kowloon East Region, Szeto Kit will undoubtedly be his second-in-command in the next few years.

Now that Situ Jie has shown him enough sincerity, it is certainly impossible for him to really offend the other party.

"Sir, just now, when Huo Zhaotang was kidnapped, he happened to be with his female secretary."

Zhang Debiao, who had officially entered the working state, immediately captured the key suspicious points of this kidnapping case.

"So can we reasonably infer that this kidnapping case is a criminal conspiracy involving internal and external collusion?"

"After all, the security quality of the villa area in Qingshui Bay is definitely impeccable."

"If there hadn't been an insider helping him, Huo Zhaotang wouldn't have been taken away without anyone noticing."

"So I suggest that we should immediately investigate the social background and interpersonal relationships of the female secretary."

Situ Jie still highly recognizes Zhang Debiao's personal abilities.

The organizational structure within the police districts under the police force is not as comprehensive as that of Tai Kwun.

But no matter what, CID criminal police are an extremely core department.

Zhang Debiao is about to be promoted to the commander of the CID's major crime team, and will also be the top person in charge of major crimes in the entire East Kowloon region.

Even if this was the result of the operations of Zhang Debiao's bigwigs in the police force, and even if Situ Jie could not play a decisive role in it.

But as the deputy commander of the Kowloon East Region, he obviously has certain advisory powers.

If Zhang Debiao himself was not capable of taking on important tasks, Situ Jie would not be without opinion.

After all, the future performance of the Regional Crime Squad will, to a certain extent, determine Situ Jie's annual review and evaluation reports.

Even though Mr. Situ has many little thoughts, his personal ability is absolutely beyond doubt as he was able to sit in his current position.

"To the point!"

With a slight nod, the serious expression on Situ Jie's face relaxed a little.

"Before A Biao and the others arrived, the Intelligence Department had already received the news."

As he spoke, Situ Jie turned his gaze to Senior Superintendent Tam Ruo-hong, the Head of the Regional Operations Department, who was standing to his right.

"Tan Sir!"

Tan Rukang reacted extremely quickly and immediately handed over the two files in front of him.

"A Biao, A Bao, these are the profiles of two Young and Dangerous guys."

"One is He Weile, and the other is Wang Kun."

"According to the investigation by the Intelligence Department, Huo Zhaotang's female secretary had an improper relationship with the two of them."

"After Huo Zhaotang disappeared, his female secretary also disappeared."

"He Weile and Wang Kun also became more alert, and they were always followed by their men."

"You two take a look!"

Situ Jie was very concerned about the case of Huo Zhaotang's kidnapping, so his preparations were naturally very thorough.

The two serious crime teams commanded by Zhang Debiao and Yuan Jiabao were just the final action forces he mobilized.

Before the action meeting was held, he had completed a detailed investigation of the case.
