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

Chapter 38: Typical Torture and Interrogation
After finishing his late-night snack, he covered himself with his uniform and slept on a folding chair until dawn.

At eight o'clock, Shi Zhanpeng and his shift team prepared to wrap up work, while Chen Sheng, Li Weihao, Jiang Zhikai and others arrived one after another to start work.

Before they even entered the office, they learned what had happened the night before from the waiter smoking at the door.

The passing of one night does not mean the matter is over; on the contrary, the big case has just begun.

When Pi Zhibang arrived at the police station, Lin Tiansheng, Zhang Jinrong, and the others were already awake. Chen Sheng politely offered them strong coffee and asked with concern, "Lin sir, were you alright yesterday?"

Lin Tiansheng thanked him and said with a smile, "It was a close call."

"Ah Sheng, have you rested enough?" Pi Zhibang, dressed in formal military uniform and smoking a cigar, called out loudly. Lin Tiansheng stood up: "Sir, Team E, stand by!"

At this moment, Chief Inspector Henry of the Operations Division, accompanied by Senior Inspector Wong Yip of the West Kowloon Triad Investigation Division and Wong Kai-yin, entered the office.

When the officer arrived, the entire team stood at attention, saluted, and shouted, "Good morning, officer!"

Pi Zhibang waved his hand: "Asheng, you interrogate Hu Xuyong; Asheng, you interrogate Chuixi."

"Yes, sir!" The two men stomped their feet and saluted again. The well-manned Major Crimes Unit immediately sprang into action, adding a murderous aura to the air.

Pi Zhibang and Huang Ye accompanied Henry into the observation room, where they observed the interrogation through a one-way glass.

Huang Qixian walked up to Lin Tiansheng, his eyes dark, and said in a low voice, "We've taken care of the foreigner for you. You decide who's behind Bearded Yong."

"Uncle Xian, thank you." Lin Tiansheng patted his cheeks, trying to cheer himself up, and led Zhang Jinrong into the interrogation room. Huang Qixian followed behind, entering uninvited.

Bearded Yong sat on the iron chair with his head down, half asleep. When he saw the light turn on, he squinted, finding it too bright.

Once their vision returned to normal, they discovered that Lin Tiansheng and Zhang Jinrong were seated. The first thing they said was, "I want to see a lawyer."

The fact that the corrupt police didn't kill him on the spot surprised Bearded Yung, and spending a night at the police station was enough to bring him to his senses.

The corrupt cop isn't trying to escape; he's trying to regain power and come back specifically to crush him!
The man has been arrested and taken to the police station; there's no way he can escape. The only option is to use lawyers and connections, no matter how much it costs, to get a foreign police superintendent to release him.

Don't even think about Ge Shaoxiong or Chen Qinghua saving him. In the martial arts world, no one will help you unless you offer something in return.

Zhang Jinrong, holding a pen and paper, tapped his fingers lightly on the table and warned, "Pan Shiyong, let me tell you, you won't be able to see a lawyer before the trial."

"Excuses and excuses are useless. I'll ask you a question, you answer it, understand?"

Bearded Yong had a stern face and his eyes were filled with hatred.

Zhang Jinrong sneered: "Is Chui Xi one of your subordinates?"

"do not know."

"I am brave with a beard," said Hu Xuyong.

Zhang Jinrong said with disdain, "You're going to deny it to the death, aren't you? Even Chui Xi next door confessed that last night you instructed him to gather thugs and ambush Inspector Lin from the Serious Crimes Unit on the thirteenth floor of Rongchang Building. Tell me, why did you kill Inspector Lin!"

Hu Xuyong was startled by the sound of the fist slamming on the table. The crime of killing a policeman made his heart pound even harder, and he opened his mouth to curse: "Damn it, it wasn't me!"

“I did not instruct Chui Si, nor do I know any Chui Si. Inspector Lin, it was you, you corrupt cop, who hates the girl I slept with and is trying to frame me.”

In the observation room, Henry, dressed in a suit and tie, stood with his hands behind his back and a slight frown on his brow.

Pi Zhibang explained, "Ah Rong's ex-wife was Hu Xuyong's lover, but she has disappeared."

Henry suddenly realized, and Huang Ye from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau chuckled, his eyes full of amusement. Zhang Jinrong cursed, "You bastard, you're really stubborn. Do you know Li Yaoyang, the person who led the operation? He and Chuiji have already confessed, the chain of evidence is complete, whether you're there or not, it's all the same."

“I didn’t do it,” Bearded Yong said.

Zhang Jinrong cracked his wrists, braced himself on the table, and stood up, saying, "I love people who are stubborn; it'll be fun!"

Cheung Kam-wing pulled a pair of pliers from his pocket, forcefully shoved them into Bearded Yung's mouth, violently pulled out a tooth, and snarled, "Speak! Who told you to send someone to kill Inspector Lam?"

"Ugh... Ah!"

Bearded Yong let out a whimper, then screamed as his teeth fell out, his mouth full of blood, his wolfish eyes fixed on Zhang Jinrong: "I didn't! I'm going to report you! Report you to the internal investigation department! I'll accuse you of using torture to extract confessions!"

Huang Qixian sat in his chair, finding it amusing: "I'm from the Internal Investigation Department. Is there a problem with Inspector Zhang's normal interrogation?"

Henry puffed on his cigar, his expression relaxed, seemingly quite satisfied. You see, in ordinary cases, the police have to consider the impact, but daring to murder an inspector is a provocation against the entire police force.

Even the most disliked henchman by the foreigners cannot be allowed to retaliate against by the Triads.

Even if I die, I'll die at their hands.

What is authority? I don't care about anything else. If you dare to mess with me, I'll kill you. That's what authority is!

Zhang Jinrong's expression was distorted, bordering on madness. He pulled out another front tooth from Beard Yong, threw it on the ground, and mocked, "Bearded Yong, tsk tsk, from now on he should be called Missing Tooth Yong."

"I'll talk, I'll talk." Bearded Yong's forehead veins bulged, his breathing was rapid, and his words were slurred.

Zhang Jinrong, holding the pliers, pricked up his ears and leaned closer. He saw Bearded Yong grinning strangely and whispering, "I say, your wife is really fun. No wonder she's Miss Hong. She made my legs weak. Green-haired turtle, hahaha."

Zhang Jinrong's eyes widened in fury. He grabbed Hu Xuyong by the neck, held a pair of pliers, and kept pounding it into Hu Xuyong's lower abdomen: "Fuck your mother, tell me, did Deng Yuchang tell you to do it!"

"is not it?"

Bearded Yong curled up, bent over, and vomited, unable to speak.

Lin Tiansheng tapped the table and said coldly, "You lunatic, that's enough."

Zhang Jinrong gripped the pliers, his eyes bloodshot, barely suppressing a roar as he took two steps back.

Lin Tiansheng walked up to Bearded Yong and warned him, "The mastermind and the accomplice are not the same crime. Assaulting a police officer will ruin your life in Stanley. Think it over calmly and find me when you're ready."

Bearded Yong watched Lin Tiansheng and Zhang Jinrong leave, his mind still sharp despite the pain, clearly understanding that the police were after Deng Yuchang.

To establish oneself in a lucrative area like Yau Tsim Mong, teeming with powerful figures and rife with criminal elements, requires more than just fighting skills; without brains, one would have been killed long ago.

Compared to Chui Xi and Li Yaoyang, who remain clueless to this day, Bearded Yong knows more and dares not speak. Because of the fierce struggle between the police and the local gentry, any wrong step could be fatal.

Besides, he already had a grudge against the corrupt cops, so he might as well stick with Uncle Deng to the end. At least he hadn't slept with Uncle Deng's wife.

After leaving the interrogation room, Pi Zhibang, Huang Ye, and Henry passed by him and nodded slightly. Lin Tiansheng had to admit, "Bearded Yong is quite clever; it seems he won't speak."

Tang Yuk-cheong is a Justice of the Peace, Chairman of the Heung Yee Kuk in the New Territories, and a powerful figure in the local community. Without solid evidence, the police would not be able to arrest him.

The tactic of labeling people only works on gangsters. The police leadership is already at their limit to allowing him to vent his anger on a mere bearded man like Yong. They wouldn't dare disrupt the political balance of the New Territories. But at this point, Lam Tin-sing has already gained a significant advantage.

Bind Huang Qixian, Pi Zhibang, and their cronies onto the war machine.
