The Chief Detective Inspector is dead. I'm now the top police officer in Hong Kong!

Chapter 28 Justice Cuts Through (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)

After waking up from a night of heavy drinking, Lin Tiansheng went downstairs and passed a phone booth. He dialed Zhong Zhihui's number: "Zhihui, are you at work yet?"

"Boss, I worked overtime last night and just woke up." Zhong Zhihui yawned, still very sleepy, lying in bed.
Lin Tiansheng was a little embarrassed and quickly said, "We need to recover the stolen goods from yesterday's robbery at a gold shop in Mong Kok. Could you help us find out who received this batch of goods?"

"Find it out as soon as possible."

When it comes to gathering information and locating people, the Criminal Intelligence Division is the expert.

As a senior inspector and head of a team, Zhong Zhihui had considerable resources at her disposal. Upon hearing this, she readily agreed: "Got it, boss. Let's wait for the news."

"Thank you."

Lin Tiansheng vaguely heard a woman's voice and quickly hung up. In his memory, Zhong Zhihui was a playboy who never stopped having girlfriends.

I was working overtime last night; I don't know if I was in bed or at the police station.

With the money he had left, he bought a Motorola mobile phone at a phone shop on Jordan Road, inserted a SIM card, and then took a taxi back to the police station to work.

Sitting at his workstation, he would take the landline to call the paging service and leave a message on his mobile phone for Huang Qixian, Zhang Jinrong, and others.

Before long, several phone calls came in one after another.

When Ma Delong saw the mobile phone on the table, he rushed over to join in the fun, saying, "Boss, you bought a mobile phone? How impressive!"

"Once you've saved up the money, remember to buy a phone so you can stay in touch," Lin Tiansheng hinted. Ma Delong, Gao Zicong, and Liu Yida understood immediately.

While working in the Major Crimes Unit, they could pretend to be poor with a pager, but they also had a mobile phone for private communication. With their personal savings, they could easily afford to buy a mobile phone.

It was a bit wasteful and eye-catching, and the three of them were reluctant to buy it because they felt bad about their wallets.

In the 1980s, the mainstream communication device was still the pager.

But since the big shot has spoken, we'll definitely have to buy it.

"Boss, what's the schedule for this morning?" Ma Delong asked.

Lin Tiansheng, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, stood up and said, "Arong gave me a phone number; I can go and sound him out."

"receive."

Zhang Jinrong was injured and hospitalized, so he couldn't use his status as a top-ranking member of the Dongyifu Double Flower Red Pole organization to cover his tracks, but that didn't stop him from referring connections to him.

The group, dressed in plain clothes, drove the police station's gray Toyota to the entrance of a pawn shop in Cheung Sha Wan.

Lin Tiansheng closed the car door, wearing a leopard-print shirt with the buttons undone, revealing a white T-shirt underneath. He also wore sunglasses, looking dashing. He stood with his hands on his hips by the signboard, raised his sunglasses, and said in a deep voice, "Yifu Pawnshop, Dong Yifu's place. Give it some face. Dazai, Acong, stay outside. Lao Ma, come in with me."

"Keep a close eye on them," Old Ma instructed Yuan Zuo, then strode off to catch up.

As soon as Lin Tiansheng entered the shop, a shop assistant immediately came out from behind the counter. He immediately frowned and opened his arms, saying, "Excuse me, officers, the pawnshop is closed today and we don't accept anything."

Ma Delong sneered, lifted the hem of his coat to reveal a gun holster: "Open for business, but not doing business with the police? You've got something to hide."

The man stood his ground: "Whether we do it or not is our freedom. It's 1980, do you think the officers are still trying to force us to buy or sell?"

Lin Tiansheng sat down in the armchair, crossed his legs, and fiddled with his sunglasses: "I'm the boss of Crazy Rong. I'm here to talk to Brother Wei about something. How about I give you some face?"

"Sell!" "With the face of the Five Poisons Detective Chief of Wan Chai District, who dares not sell?" At this moment, a middle-aged man with a bald head, wearing a jade pendant, tall, dressed in a shirt, and fanning himself with a palm leaf fan, walked out of the inner room. His eyes were scrutinizing as he smiled and said, "Young Master Sheng is still in Wan Chai District, isn't he?"

In the 1970s, Tung Yee Fook had over ten thousand members, making it a major force in the Dongguan underworld. To grow a large triad society, one had to align oneself with a high-ranking police officer.

When Liu Fu was the Chief Detective Inspector, he took special care of his fellow Dongguan natives, which led to the dominance of triads such as Dong Yi Fu, Dong Fu He, Dong Ying She, and Dong Lian She in Hong Kong. Later, Lui Lok, a Teochew native, took over, and triads such as Jing Yi, Yi Qun, and Xin Yi An became the most prominent.

Han Sen, nicknamed "Cheung Chau Boy," inherited the power of the Tung Chow gang when he served as the Chief Detective Inspector of the New Territories. This resulted in a powerful Tung Chow gang rivaling the Teochew gang in the 1970s. However, at that time, Han Sen was subordinate to Lui Lok, and the relationship between the Tung Chow and Teochew gangs remained relatively friendly.

Furthermore, the "He" prefix in the underworld refers to the Triads, which were passed down from "Hei Gu Ren," the fifth brother of the Red Flag Gang in Tianbao Mountain. Some of the underworld organizations with the word "Yi" in their names are Triads, and some are Green Gangs, but without exception, those with the "Yi" prefix are all spokespeople supported by the corrupt police. It can be said that the more discord there is, the more they talk about "harmony is precious," and the more unrighteous they are, the more they shout about "loyalty and righteousness."

After the police reform, most of the Yi triads weakened, with only the Sun Yee On remaining prominent. The second-generation leader of Sun Yee On, nicknamed "Four-Eyed Dragon," was young but of high seniority, and was Lui Lok's uncle, making their families genuinely related by marriage.

As a member of the Dongyifu community, Hua Liuwei couldn't possibly be unaware of Lin Tiansheng. Of course, having Zhang Jinrong's introduction was different from visiting alone.

Lin Tiansheng sat in his chair and said in a deep voice, "They're no longer in Wan Chai. They've been transferred to the West Kowloon Major Crimes Unit. I won't waste any more words. Who's handling the stolen goods from Wing Shing Gold Shop in Mong Kok?"

"Name your price."

Anyway, I don't have to pay for anything myself. I can just call Boss Tao of Yongxin and he'll reimburse me for whatever I have to pay.

In the past, things that could have been settled by doing someone a favor were not worth it for Hua Liuwei. He said with a smile, "I only make money from my friends, not from those who are bad."

"Everyone's in the pawnbroking business. If I sell you this information today, what if someone else sells it to me tomorrow?"

Lin Tiansheng put on a stern face: "I've already said, stop talking nonsense. Not knowing and not speaking up when you do know are two different things."

"The police chief and the Chinese detective are two different things."

“In the past, everyone wore red shoes, and it was only natural for me to work for the detective. Now, the law of right and wrong is irreconcilable, and if I help you, you'll get killed.”

Hua Liuwei waved his palm-leaf fan, sat down beside him, and said, "Unless, Young Master Sheng is willing to do me a small favor."

"What kind of help?" Lin Tiansheng really didn't know how Zhang Jinrong had managed to get information, but thinking about it carefully, Li Xudong had already sold out of his goods last time, and they were worthless, so it was indeed easy to ask.

Unlike this batch of hot-button goods, worth over eight million, the owner who sold the stolen goods hasn't even had a chance to enjoy them yet.

Paying a price is perfectly normal.

Hua Liuwei pulled a bag of heroin from his pocket, placed it on the table, and said with a beaming smile, "I have a batch of goods I want to sell. Young Master Sheng, could you help me out?"

“Let’s all make money together. I’ll give five percent to Young Master Sheng.”

Lin Tiansheng put on his sunglasses and stood up without hesitation, saying, "No problem, I agree."

He waved and took Ma Delong away, leaving Hua Liuwei in his seat, bewildered and uncertain.

Lin Tiansheng walked to the Toyota, leaned against the door, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth: "There are people selling heroin inside. I'll give you the time it takes to smoke a cigarette."

"receive."

Upon hearing this, Gao Zicong and Liu Yida immediately rushed into the shop.
