Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Normally, Ji Shaoqun would just have to wait for news about this.

At this moment, a policewoman walked over and said to Wen Fang, "Boss, we've found the address."

Wen Fang handed the address to the policewoman and said, "Take two people to the gambling den and take a look."

Then he said to another subordinate, "Find a car and go to the deceased's house."

Upon hearing Wen Fang's words, Ji Shaoqun offered, "No need to trouble yourself, I'll take you. I'm waiting for your news anyway!"

Wen Fang didn't stand on ceremony and got into Ji Shaoqun's car directly.

As soon as he got on the bus, someone from the internal complaints department called to cause trouble for Wen Fang.

Wen Fang said he was busy with something, gave a few perfunctory replies, and then hung up the phone.

"Is the Internal Investigation Department giving you trouble?" Ji Shaoqun asked proactively, "How many years have you been a police officer?"

"I entered police academy at sixteen!" Wen Fang glanced out the window and said with a sigh, "It's been twenty-seven years already."

Ji Shaoqun said with some surprise, "You've worked your way up from the bottom for over twenty years, you shouldn't only be in this position, right?"

"I don't care what position I hold, and I have no interest in being an official!" Wen Fang shook his head and said, "We've already had a tough time on the front lines, and it's even harder for you officials. Forget it!"

Ji Shaoqun disagreed: "An official is an official, but I'm also an official on the front lines. There's nothing I can do; many departments are like this. Everyone wants to keep their own job. If you don't do it, you get criticized; if you do it, you get complained about. Who would be willing to take the risk?"

"There aren't many like you left! Be careful, or you'll be finished soon!"

Wen Fang glanced out the window at the gangsters squatting by the roadside: "I became a policeman because I couldn't stand it anymore!"

“When I first became a policeman, I couldn’t stand those bastards outside either. But later I realized that the worst bastards were all above us!” Ji Shaoqun said with a sneer.

Seeing that Wen Fang was still a lowly inspector after more than 20 years, constantly being bothered by the internal complaints department, Ji Shaoqun immediately thought of himself.

He was clearly qualified to be promoted to superintendent because of his merits, but he was stuck here because of a small matter, so he was naturally full of resentment.

It's not just the police system, it's also those fraternity guys.

That's right, Ji Shaoqun didn't have a good impression of the Brotherhood because when he needed help the most, the Brotherhood didn't offer any assistance.

But resentment aside, only the Brotherhood can save him now! He has no choice but to cooperate with the Brotherhood to resolve his terrifying debts.

As they spoke, the group arrived at a small alley.

This was the home of the deceased woman.

The alley was littered with garbage, and the external electrical wires and air conditioner units hanging on the exterior walls made it look even more messy.

Arriving at the door of a room, Wen Fang's men went to knock on the door.

But from inside the room came a little girl's voice.

After talking to the little girl, they discovered that the adults were not at home, and there were barking dogs coming from inside.

This worried Wen Fang so much that he immediately ordered his men to break down the door.

As soon as the door opened, a wolfhound inside darted out, startling everyone.

Then everyone saw that inside the large iron cage that was originally used to keep the wolfhounds, there was actually a girl being kept.

The moment Wen Fang saw the girl, his eyes were filled with ferocity and tyranny.

Ji Shaoqun squatted down and said to the little girl, "Little sister, don't be afraid, we are police officers!"

Wen Fang found a hammer, had the girl cover her ears, then smashed open the iron cage and took the little girl out.

Seeing the girl's injuries, Wen Fang asked, "Who hit you? Your mother?"

"No, Uncle said I break things all the time..." The little girl stopped there.

Ji Shaoqun looked at the little girl and said, "You're injured. We'll take you to the hospital."

But just then, the little girl pointed to the door and said, "Uncle is back!"

The two turned around and saw that the person they were looking for had indeed returned.

Ji Shaoqun shouted, "Stop! Police!"

The two then chased after him.

These two were street thugs, the kind who would run away at the sight of the police.

Seeing the police arrive at their house, they dared not linger and immediately ran away.

Fortunately, both Ji Shaoqun and Wen Fang are front-line police officers with excellent skills.

They caught up with the two very quickly.

Ji Shaoqun drew his gun and subdued one of them, while Wen Fang grabbed the other and beat him severely.

This guy was the deceased's boyfriend, and he also abused children.

This reminded Wen Fang of some unpleasant things, so he acted extremely violently.

They almost beat this gangster to death!
When their colleagues arrived to help, the two leaned against the car and smoked.

Ji Shaoqun said with amusement, "No wonder you get complaints all the time. Are you arresting criminals or venting your anger?"

Wen Fang said with a smile, "If it's time to fight, then fight!"

As the two were chatting and laughing, Wen Fang received a call from Xiang An, and then said to Ji Shaoqun, "My buddy at the Emperor Billiards Room on Chang Le Street will be waiting for you! I'm off!"

"Thanks!" Ji Shaoqun nodded.

……

"Boss, the Brotherhood has taken the bait!"

The intelligence officer walked into Chen Jiajun's office and said.

Chen Jiajun put down his golf club and said calmly, "Are you looking for Ji Shaoqun?"

“That’s right!” the intelligence officer said with a smile. “Ji Shaoqun is already cornered; he has no choice but to agree. However… I think Ji Shaoqun also seems to have a lot of grievances against the Brotherhood!”

Chen Jiajun sneered, "This brotherhood is built entirely according to Western rules, and it's all about extreme self-interest. Once someone becomes useless, they won't even give a damn about them!"

"Ji Shaoqun has been sitting on the sidelines in the police force for so many years, he was probably abandoned by the Brotherhood long ago. The reason he's being rehired now is because of his past experience working in the narcotics unit."

The intelligence officer said, "This Ji Shaoqun... could we make use of him?"

Chen Jiajun shook his head: "It's no use. Although Ji Shaoqun doesn't get along with the Brotherhood, he won't be easily manipulated. Just look at his resume; this kid is an ungrateful wolf cub. If we let him grow up, he'll turn on his master!"

The intelligence officer said with some curiosity, "Boss, I'm a little confused! I looked at Ji Shaoqun's file, and this guy is very similar to Su Xingbai, one of your men. Why do you dare to use Su Xingbai instead of this guy?"

Chen Jiajun laughed: "You little rascal, you've finally started using your brain and figured things out!"

"Hehe, I learned it from you, boss!" the intelligence officer said with a smile.

Chen Jiajun explained, "Although their resumes look very similar, there are still some differences. Su Xingbo not only received higher education, but also experienced the harsh realities of life!"

"Although he is just as ambitious as Ji Shaoqun, the difference is that Su Xingbai knows what he wants, while Ji Shaoqun does not!"

……

On the other side, on Changle Street, at the Emperor Billiards Room.

Xiang An led Ji Shaoqun and his men into the billiard room.

They found a person playing billiards at Huoshui.

Xiang An walked straight over to Huo Shui and said, "Brother Huo Shui, your men took one of my colleague's phone numbers today. Hand it over now!"

Xiang An was just an ordinary member of the Major Crimes Unit, and Huo Shui, a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person of the underworld), didn't care about him at all.

With a cold laugh, he said to Xiang An, "What? Do you think this is a lost and found? If one of your policewomen goes missing an undergarment tomorrow, will she come to me for it too?"

Seeing that Huo Shui was showing him no respect, Xiang An immediately lost face and shouted at Huo Shui, "Do you have to talk to me like that? Everyone in the police station knows that only your subordinates pretended to be students? If it wasn't you, who else could it be? Fine, you won't hand it over, huh? I'll find it myself. I'll come every day and I don't believe I can't find it!"

Huo Shui sneered and said, "Fine, whoever took the officer's things, throw them at him!"

Upon hearing Huoshui's words, a young man grabbed a billiard ball and threw it at Xiang'an.

Xiang'an flew into a rage and yelled at the boy who threw the thing, "Who threw that!"

The kid who smashed the trash in Xiang'an sneered and said, "So what? Littering is only punishable by a fine of 1,500 yuan at most!"

Enraged, Xiang'an shoved the brat.

Huo Shui said calmly, "You want to hit someone? I'll call the complaints department too!"

Seeing that Xiang'an was in an awkward position, Ji Shaoqun walked over and said, "Brother Huoshui, tell them to disperse and have a chat?"

Huo Shui sized Ji Shaoqun up and down, and said flippantly, "Little four-eyes, never seen you before! New here? You look so polite, always calling me 'brother,' huh? Well then! Let's see what's in it for you!"

As he spoke, Huoshui ordered all the young devils under his command to disperse.

Ji Shaoqun had his men hand him his sidearm, unload the bullets, and then walked up to Huoshui and put the gun in his hand.

He then instantly drew his gun, pointed it at Huoshui, and coldly said, "Assaulting a police officer, trying to steal a gun, I'll kill you right now!"

Huo Shui was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. He remained in that position and said with a grim expression, "With so many eyes here, do you think you can just say it?"

"Yes, I say so!" Ji Shaoqun said coldly, "Let's see in court whether the judge believes me or you, you gangster!"

When Xiang An saw Ji Shaoqun, who had been so polite, suddenly turn hostile, his eyes widened in surprise.

What he initially thought was a very difficult situation was clearly handled very easily by Ji Shaoqun.

Faced with a ruthless and unscrupulous guy like Ji Shaoqun, Huo Shui naturally dared not act recklessly anymore. He obediently had his men hand over all the stolen phones.

Huo Shui wasn't really a member of the gang; he was just a pickpocket leader.

It's only because gangs have become more restrained in recent years that people like Huo Shui have had the opportunity to rise to prominence.

In the past, such people would have lived like rats.

Seeing the large number of cell phones in front of him, Ji Shaoqun dialed the number of his deceased subordinate, A Kang.

Immediately, one of the phones lit up.

I picked up the phone and checked the text messages; sure enough, there was something I wanted.

Having obtained the item, Ji Shaoqun had no time to bother with a nobody like Huo Shui and simply turned and left.

This string of numbers is actually the combination to the safe in the Evidence Department.

The drugs seized by the anti-drug squad each year are generally not destroyed on the spot, but are collected and destroyed in a centralized manner after a year.

Ji Shaoqun had worked in the anti-drug squad, and even personally handled several cases involving the seizure of laundry detergent.

He knew better than anyone the amount of laundry detergent in the evidence department's safe.

Selling it to the Brotherhood would bring in a huge sum of money, enough not only to pay off his debts but also to allow him to live a carefree life abroad.

Therefore, his goal was to rob the batch of laundry detergent that the Evidence Department was transporting out for destruction.

Of course, he would never do such a thing himself; the risk would be too high.

He hired a group of gangsters to specifically handle the robberies.

Hiring someone to do something definitely requires money. Ji Shaoqun had already emptied his wallet from the stock market and even mortgaged his house.

Anyway, having plenty of lice means you don't have to worry. Ji Shaoqun contacted a finance company, which is basically a loan shark.

Ji Shaoqun was drinking in a bar.

A moment later, a thin man walked in, carrying a paper bag.

After sitting down, the man pushed the paper bag over and said to Ji Shaoqun, "Officer Ji, our boss asked me to apologize to you. The company will deduct 500,000 yuan in interest. You will receive 1.5 million yuan here. You owe a total of 5 million yuan!"

Ji Shaoqun opened the paper bag, glanced at it, and then coldly said to the man in front of him, "My house, which I mortgaged to your company, has been completely seized?"

"Deduct the first two months' worth and it's cleared!" the man said with a smile. "The company wants you to go up and clear the files these next few days!"

Ji Shaoqun immediately turned hostile and splashed the wine in his glass onto the other man's face: "Go back and tell your boss, did I sign a damn contract?! Do you think I'm stupid? That 500,000, bring it back to me right now!"

The gangster wiped the alcohol off his face and said with a disgruntled look, "Officer Ji, what's the point of getting angry with me?"

After saying that, the gangster ignored Ji Shaoqun, whose eyes were blazing with anger, and turned to leave the bar.

In the past, which gangster would have dared to act recklessly in front of a senior inspector like him?
It's because he now owes money to loan sharks!

Thinking of this, Ji Shaoqun clenched his fists. He drank several glasses of wine before he could suppress the anger rising in his chest.

A moment later, Ji Shaoqun's men came over.

Seeing the other person's appearance, Ji Shaoqun asked, "How is your father?"

The subordinate said with a grim expression, "The nurse said he secretly cut his wrists last night, but luckily it was discovered early!"

Ji Shaoqun sighed, took out a wad of cash from the paper bag, handed it to the other person, and said, "Go and pay your dad's hospital bills for the next six months first!"

The subordinate nodded gratefully to Ji Shaoqun and put the money away.

Ji Shaoqun looked around, then lowered his voice and asked, "How did that matter go?"

"I checked with the police station. The vehicle will depart in three days, and the route hasn't changed!" the subordinate told Ji Shaoqun.

"very good!"

……

Meanwhile, Wen Fang's investigation into the deceased's boyfriend resulted in his clearance of suspicion.

Then Wen Fang was complained about again.

However, Wen Fang no longer cared, since this wasn't the first time anyway.

His men then tracked down a lead concerning the weapon used to kill the victim.

The problem is that this lead seems to be followed by another major crime unit, and they are connected to a group of South Asian arms dealers.

Left with no other option, Wen Fang turned to his colleague.

After their conversation, the two sides decided to act together.

However, on the way, Hei Zai said to Wen Fang, "Officer Wen, we received information that the guy who injured our uniformed buddy in the pedestrian tunnel last week will be making a deal with a South Asian arms dealer today!"

"But let's be cautious from the start. I'm the one who initiated this line of investigation, and I'll take charge! Once we get there and everyone's gathered, we'll move in! After we've finished our work, I'll hand the man over to you so you can solve the murder case. If we do a good job, everyone gets credit; nobody wants to take the blame, right?"

Wen Fang simply nodded without replying to Hei Zai's words.

He didn't really care who got the credit; he just wanted to catch that guy.

However, Hei Zai's words reminded him of the conversation Ji Shaoqun had with him in the car that day.

At that moment, Ji Shaoqun was on his way to the police station.

Suddenly, his subordinate called: "Commander Ji, I've received information that a team from the Major Crimes Unit has tracked down that group of arms dealers!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Shaoqun's expression changed immediately. After confirming the location, he turned around abruptly and drove towards the target location.

Meanwhile, a teahouse called Hua Man Ting was located there.

Hei Zai's men had already been deployed around the teahouse. Wen Fang, along with the policewoman beside him, entered the teahouse with Hei Zai.

After sitting down, Wen Fang habitually observed the people around him.

Just then, Hei Zai's phone rang: "Boss, the arms dealers have broken in, four of them!"

Hei Zai looked up and saw four South Asians carrying huge backpacks as they walked into the teahouse.

Then, led directly into a private room by a waiter.

However, they didn't notice that inside the teahouse outside, a man wearing a fisherman's hat suddenly received a text message.

The text message was very simple, containing only two words: "There's a ghost."

The man in the fisherman's hat is called Brother Dao. He's the gangster who killed the policeman and shot the prostitute that day, and he's the guy Ji Shaoqun hired.

And this text message was naturally sent by Ji Shaoqun.

After receiving the text message, Brother Dao immediately forwarded it to his subordinates.

The subordinates who were conducting a transaction with the South Asians in the private room immediately changed their expressions upon seeing the information.

He said to the South Asians, "The police are following us outside!"

The South Asians quickly put down their money and grabbed their weapons, aiming them at the door.

At this point, Hei Zai had already begun to act, and several policemen, with their guns in holsters, walked towards the private room.

Hei Zai was the first to kick open the door to the private room, and then... he saw that the other party was already on guard, with all their guns pointed at him.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

After a burst of intense gunfire, Hei Zai, the inspector from the Serious Crimes Unit, was riddled with bullets.

His subordinates were also affected.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, chaos erupted throughout the teahouse.

Wen Fang and his female police officers immediately drew their guns and aimed them at Brother Dao.

From the very beginning, Wen Fang felt that this Brother Dao was very suspicious. After all, he had worked at the grassroots level for decades and had a good eye for people.

Sure enough, Brother Dao drew his gun, ready to join forces with the people in the private room to attack Blackie's men.

Wen Fang decisively fired his gun, forcing Dao Ge's men to retreat and giving Hei Zai's men some breathing room.

However, Wen Fang's actions also revealed his position.

As a result, he and his female police officers immediately faced retaliation from Brother Dao's men.

Several groups were locked in a fierce battle inside the teahouse, with bullets flying everywhere.

The criminals clearly had the upper hand; those South Asians were armed with fully automatic rifles, which were far superior to the small pistols carried by the Major Crimes Unit members.

Seeing that the bandits were about to break out of the teahouse, Wen Fang, this fierce fellow, chased after them.

He immediately took down a South Asian man.

Enraged, the South Asian immediately pulled out two hand grenades and threw them over.

With a deafening roar, debris flew everywhere.

Fortunately, a female police officer under Wen Fang's command arrived in time and kicked over a table to block Wen Fang's path.

The tables in the teahouse were all thick solid wood tables, which effectively prevented the shrapnel from turning Wen Fang into a hedgehog.

Wen Fang gave the policewoman a grateful look, then leaned out again and fired repeatedly at the South Asian.

The policewoman and Wen Fang worked together seamlessly, and the two of them, one in front and one behind, finally achieved a suppressive effect. (End of this chapter)
