Chapter 57: Good Citizen Award Newspaper, Exposing Undercover Identity?
While Fu Guang and his trusted subordinates were suspecting the identities of Gong Wei and Liu Jianming, the police force was also holding a busy meeting.

Although He Shichang and his men from Quanxing Society were captured during this operation, the arms they were selling were not stopped.

At the same time, the operation was considered a failure because Inspector Fang Yanmei and Liu Jianming became hostages of the Big Circle Gang.

Liu Jianming was taken hostage, and the police academy immediately sent Superintendent Li Ying to hold a meeting.

The commander-in-chief of this operation, Inspector Zheng, looks like Chief Leader Chen, but he is completely irresponsible.

Seeing that Liu Jianming was a police cadet, he was ready to put all the blame for the failure of this mission on the police cadet's final intervention.

As a result, Inspector Zheng hit a wall. Not only did Li Ying value Liu Jianming very much, but Officer Luo and Inspector Hu, although they had only been instructors for a short time, were also optimistic about Liu Jianming's potential.

Seeing that her boss and her former suitor, Inspector Zheng, wanted to put the blame for the mission failure on Liu Jianming, Fang Yanmei's disgust for him increased even more.

Fang Yanmei said: "As a police officer, it is my duty and mission to replace the pregnant hostage on the spot."

"The criminal leader wanted to kidnap me as a long-term hostage. I could already imagine how miserable things would be."

"Neither Liu Jianming nor any other police officer had any obligation to replace me as a hostage, so he is my savior and the one who patched up this operation."

When Superintendent Zheng saw that his direct subordinate also disagreed with Liu Jianming taking the blame, he was completely embarrassed for a moment.

Inspector Hu got straight to the point and said, "It's pointless to argue about who's to blame for the operation. The key is how to rescue Liu Jianming."

Fang Yanmei took out Liu Jianming's note and said, "He secretly slipped this to me when we were exchanging hostages."

"Perhaps he doesn't need our rescue, but rather our cooperation in his plan."

Superintendent Zheng complained, "I transferred several teams from the East Kowloon Serious Crime Squad here, and they ended up cooperating with a cadet. What a joke!"

Claude Rothrock tapped the note left by Liu Jianming and said, "The key is not who has a higher rank or more subordinates, but who is in the most critical position."

"Liu Jianming is already inside the criminal group. If we help him pass the test, we will have the nail to drive into the heart of the crime."

Li Ying looked at Liu Jianming's nine-character note and said, "The information we obtained from Wang Fengyi of the Quanxing Society was the basis for our arrest this time."

"So, Wang Fengyi wanted to use the police to get rid of He Shichang, who was undermining her."

"Liu Jianming's note follows this line of thought. Wang Fengyi has already reported the incident to the police, so it makes sense that she paid a hidden price on the black market to buy He Shichang's life."

Inspector Hu's skills cannot overcome the inherent disadvantages of gender in the police force. She can become the queen of policewomen representing Hong Kong Island. Her sharp mind is more important than her skills.

An idea suddenly struck her, and she said, "If Liu Jianming wants to infiltrate the criminal group, the biggest challenge will be explaining why he appeared at the scene of the police raid."

"If he was a killer who had accepted a hidden commission from the black market and was following He Shichang all the way, it would make sense for him to be at the scene."

"As a killer working for money, seeing a criminal group seize heavy weapons is sure to lead to a big deal. It makes sense for him, as a killer, to follow suit and share the spoils."

Everyone in the meeting room immediately agreed with Inspector Hu's analysis, though they still felt the plan was too risky. How could they convince the criminals that a stranger was the assassin who would kill the gang leader?
However, Liu Jianming had already acted without authorization and joined the criminal gang, so they had no choice but to cooperate.

Fang Yanmei said, "Superintendent Li, I will have my informant in East Kowloon immediately spread the news among the underworld that Wang Fengyi is plotting to kill Ho Sai-cheong. If you can contact the CIB or Organized Crime and Triad Bureau for cooperation, the news will spread faster."

The next day, Liu Jianming and others continued to stay in the hideout, and Fu Guang would reduce his exposure before the national treasure exhibition began.

However, being suspicious by nature, he still sent Johnny and Xiao Hei to find out whether the "secret murder of He Shichang" was true through their respective community channels.

Soon Johnny returned to his base first. He whispered to Fu Guang that Quan Sheng and He Shichang did not take Wang Fengyi seriously. All the gangs in Hong Kong knew it, and the rumor had spread in the underworld that Wang Fengyi was plotting to kill him.

After receiving Johnny's reward, Fu Guang felt more assured about Liu Jianming, and his trust in him was even greater than that of the taciturn and righteous Gong Wei.

But all this was soon destroyed by Xiao Hei who rushed back.

Xiao Hei panicked and slammed a yellowed old newspaper on the coffee table in front of the people.

Xiao Hei said anxiously, "Brother Guang, this guy looked very familiar to me the first time I saw him. I, Xiao Hei, may not be very smart, but I remember people very well."

"I was looking for my fellow Hongxing gang members and found a newspaper from five months ago. Brother Guang, do you think this guy looks like the one who won the Good Citizen Award back then?"

Fu Guang, Gong Wei, Chachai, Johnny, and Liu Jianming all turned their attention to the photo in the newspaper, which showed the top police officer awarding prizes to the good citizens of July.

Although the newspaper is yellowed and the photo from the 1990s is not clear, it can be seen that the person in the photo is 90% similar to Liu Jianming.

Could a killer who shot and killed a gang leader be a good citizen who received an award from a big brother?

This is too abstract!
Xiao Hei then dropped a bombshell: "More importantly, these newspapers reported that this good citizen has already signed up for the police force and is a cadet."

At this time, among the six people at the table, except for Xiao Hei who was not very skilled, the other five had tense muscles, as if they were silent gunfire, which could be ignited by sporadic sparks.

Several people at the table, including Gong Wei, all believed that Liu Jianming was a police undercover. Gong Wei had different ideas from the other three. It was the sense of justice of a northern police officer that prevented him from standing by and watching someone die.

He had seen Liu Jianming's skills. If the two of them joined forces, although they could not take down the Fu Guang gang with two against three, they would have a greater chance of escaping safely.

Regarding the fact that he had been in the newspaper, Liu Jianming had always had a contingency plan. What he wanted to take advantage of was the mixed nature of the world of Hong Kong variety shows.

Liu Jianming didn't relax his muscles, but remained calm and said, "Brother Guang, you guys have been in Hong Kong Island for several months and have done a lot of small business."

"Xiao Hei even has a cousin who works with Hongxing Boss B. You should all have heard of the name of Prince, the boss of Hongxing in Tsim Sha Tsui, right?"

Several people nodded, and Fu Guang's eyes lit up. He understood what Liu Jianming meant, and then looked at him carefully.

Johnny continued, "They're called the "Hung Hing" gang, a Hong Kong Island gang. They're famous for their fighting skills, and among the twelve leaders of Hung Hing, the Prince is the strongest."

Fu Guang pointed at Chachai and said with a smile, "Chachai and the Hongxing Prince do look nine points alike. If I hadn't rescued him from the Thai death row, I would have admitted to being him."
