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

Chapter 61 So exciting?

Lin Tiansheng made a gesture, and Zhang Jinrong walked around the goods, lifted the corner of his clothes, and put his hand on the gun holster. As a former corrupt cop, what kind of state hadn't he seen?

Some things, you can sense the ending just by smelling the air. Deng Gengyun followed closely behind the big boss.

The three men sandwiched Jiang Zhikai in the middle. Jiang was squatting on the ground, looking dejected. His gun holster was undone, and he was even smoking.

"Heh, Jiang sir, what's wrong? Why are you under so much pressure?" Lin Tiansheng asked, noticing Jiang Zhikai's timid expression. Jiang Zhikai didn't dare look him in the eye, lowering his head and saying, "Lin... Lin sir."

“Speak up, it’s easier to resolve this privately.” Zhang Jinrong stepped forward, his face threatening. Jiang Zhikai took a deep drag on his cigarette, looked up in a panic, and sighed, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Inspector Lin, I took money from Deng Yuchang.”

"How much?" Lin Tiansheng stood condescendingly in front of Jiang Zhikai. Jiang Zhikai's face was shrouded in shadow: "A large house, in Regent Road, Repulse Bay, at Po King Estate."

"Uh, this property used to belong to a big shot, right?" Zhang Jinrong looked surprised and turned to look at Deng Gengyun.

Deng Gengyun nodded with a wry smile: "Yes."

"So, Uncle Deng asked you to betray me?" Lin Tiansheng's expression was unpredictable, making him hard to read. Jiang Zhikai seemed to recall the methods of corrupt cops, his knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground, slapping himself across the face as he pleaded, "Lin sir, Brother Sheng, I know I was wrong."

"The men from East Kowloon were hired by me. Deng Yuchang told me to shoot you, but I didn't. I didn't dare."

Zhang Jinrong suddenly kicked Jiang Zhikai to the ground, grabbed him by the collar, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Bastard, you take money from outsiders and kill your own comrades?"

Jiang Zhikai's pupils dilated, and he hurriedly said, "I didn't do it, Brother Rong, I wouldn't dare."

He had the guts to take money from Deng Yuchang and leak information, but he certainly didn't have the guts to help Deng Yuchang kill police officers and act as a henchman. It's true that gentry can infiltrate the police force, but to think that money could buy off all the connections and incite police officers to kill their colleagues is truly a pipe dream.

Lin Tiansheng patted Zhang Jinrong's shoulder lightly, and when he let go, he bent down to help Jiang Zhikai up, gently brushed the dust off his collar, and said seriously, "I'll give you this chance to prove your loyalty."

Jiang Zhikai swallowed hard and murmured, "Okay, okay."

Zhang Jinrong followed the boss out of the corner, looking puzzled, and said, "Boss, what value do you have in taking in a lousy henchman? Are you suggesting he kill Uncle Deng?"

"Neuropathy."

Lin Tiansheng cursed, "We white-collar workers have a legitimate reason to mess with our colleagues, so we should all do less and develop more manpower."

"Letting him go is impossible. Keeping him in the Major Crimes Unit will be more useful."

"Time will tell what needs to be done by him."

To put it simply, if he needs to do something in the future, he can mobilize a larger group of people, so that even if he does something shady, someone will take the blame.
Since this matter didn't escalate, it can be handled privately, which is a good opportunity to expand the influence of the remaining party members. The so-called power and influence means placing more of one's own people in positions of power, or developing one's own people, in order to gather strength.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhikai didn't fire his gun; otherwise, he would have had to be killed.

Ma Delong and his men had no idea what their boss was up to, and when they saw Jiang Zhikai's disheveled appearance upon his return, they looked at him with suspicion. Fifteen minutes later, Pi Zhibang returned in a flurry of activity with several men, saying with great enthusiasm, "Hand over the warehouse to customs, and we're calling it a day."

"Damn it, trying to take credit, don't they know who handled the case?"

When the West Kowloon personnel emerged from the warehouse, customs officers had already arrived, while the East Kowloon personnel withdrew under the leadership of Chief Inspector Robin of the Operations Branch.

Although Robin's rank was higher than Pi Chi-pong's and he was one of the few chief assistants of the "remnant party," he arrived a step too late and had no say in the affairs of West Kowloon.

Before leaving, sitting in the car, he glanced at Lin Tiansheng one more time: "The city gate reservoir really has good feng shui."

This was more than just a tiger; it was a dragon, striking right at the heart of the matter and severing the Deng family's financial lifeline. Without this smuggling route, the Deng family's other illicit businesses, including supporting gangsters and wearing military uniforms, would no longer be able to command customs officials or plainclothes officers.

To him, the Deng family had no value anymore, so he was willing to take a step back.

Pi Zhibang stopped at the front door of the car and said, "Asheng, bring Chou Kouxiang back." "Understood."

The warehouse henchmen are from Chou Kou Cheung's gang, East Kowloon is their protector, and the Tang family is the boss. Eliminating everyone in the entire network would be a win-win situation, wiping them out in one fell swoop.

In the underworld, the leader of the Lianying Society held a minor position, but in the eyes of the police, he was nothing more than trash used to supplement the chain of evidence.

Lin Tiansheng drove his car, taking only his own group, straight to Chou Kouxiang's hideout.

The Lai Wah Hotel in Tuen Mun Town is located in a six-story commercial building on Tuen Lung Street. It rents out more than 60 units to operate a malan (traditional Japanese marina) and bathhouse.

The Triads' service industries were relatively concentrated, and in the 1980s, communication was inconvenient, so each leader had to sit in the main hall every day to oversee the situation.

This was to make it easier for the younger brother to come to the door, deliver messages, and handle urgent matters.

As long as someone is a well-known figure in the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), their status, home address, etc., are all registered in the Intelligence Division. A simple phone call will provide the information.

Stinky Mouth Xiang, a foot masseur in a private room, received news that the smuggled goods warehouse had been raided. His face darkened, he put down his cell phone, kicked the foot masseuse to the ground, and cursed, "Damn it! Your nails are too long, how am I supposed to give the customers a good wash?"

The foot massage girl apologized repeatedly: "I'm so sorry, Brother Cheung, I'm so sorry."

"Damn, what a jinx." Chou Kou Xiang slammed the towel onto the sofa with a loud thud. The waiter immediately ushered the young woman away and returned to light a cigarette for the boss: "Brother Xiang, a new girl from the mainland has arrived, her oral skills are top-notch."

"one?"

"I'm going to Stanley soon, one isn't enough, two, right now!" As a triad leader, it's too low to run away when something goes wrong, you have to protect the territory and run the business.

It's tantamount to giving up one's status in the martial arts world.

Smuggling counterfeit electrical appliances isn't a major crime, and to protect his reputation, Chou Kou Xiang could only obediently wait for the police to come to him.

After arriving at the bathhouse with his six subordinates, Lin Tiansheng kicked open the door of a private room with a loud bang.

A dragon and two phoenixes engage in a fierce battle on the massage bed.

Ma Delong's eyes widened in surprise: "So exciting?"

Chou Kouxiang shuddered, seemingly startled. The two massage girls looked panicked, but remained dedicated to their work, adhering to professional ethics.

Lin Tiansheng lit a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and said, "Put your pants on in two minutes, or I'll take you away without a receipt."

Chou Kouxiang picked up his clothes and said nonchalantly, "Two minutes? Even one minute is too long!"

Lin Tiansheng flicked his cigarette ash: "Old Ma, Arong, take him away."

"Yes, sir."

Two plainclothes officers rushed out from the left and right sides, pinned Chou Kouxiang against the wall, and handcuffed him.

"Officer, you're not wearing pants, officer!"

Lin Tiansheng glanced at the two massage girls: "Give them some clothes. We're cracking down on prostitution while we're at it."

Half an hour later, Chou Kou-cheung was arrested and taken to the West Kowloon Police Station. Sitting in the interrogation room, he kept repeating, "I want to see a lawyer! I want to see a lawyer!"
