In Hong Kong variety shows, what does "crime buster" mean?

The gunfight at the teahouse caused quite a stir, and soon the street was packed with ambulances and reporters who had rushed over.

Yuan Haoyun, the chief of the serious crimes unit, was surrounded by a barrage of tricky questions, which were as numerous as the bullets fired by the bandits.

However, none of this concerns Chen Fan.

He strolled through the streets of Wan Chai like an unrelated passerby, taking stock of his gains.

Current Sin Value: 205

Free attribute points: 1

[Personal space: 0.5 cubic meters]

The shop has been refreshed.

[The host has become a seasoned police officer. The system will now activate the shop refresh function, which refreshes every 10 points of crime value, limited to ten times per day.]

Refresh function?

Chen Fan perked up and first looked around at the items in the mall. They were mostly miscellaneous items, with very few useful ones.

With a try-it-out mentality, he touched the refresh option with his mind.

The product list flashed, and a few new lines of text appeared.

[Ni Family's D-grade Goods Transportation Route (Intelligence): 50 Sin Values]

[Han Chen's recent D-grade item delivery location (intelligence): 50 sin points]

[Martial Arts (Advanced): 120 Sin Value]

[Medical Kit: 50 Sin Points]

Did you withdraw the money in one go?

Chen Fan sucked his teeth; the system really came through this time.

Without hesitation, he bought two pieces of intelligence. Since he didn't have enough sin points left to buy advanced combat techniques, he bought a medical kit in case of emergency.

The sin value changed from 205 to 55, plus one attribute point.

[Ni Family's D-grade goods transportation route: This Friday at 11 PM, at the Tsim Sha Tsui public pier, a Thai cargo ship will unload the goods, which will then be transported by Ni Yongxiao's men to the Kwai Chung Container Terminal and stored in Warehouse No. 7.]

[Han Chen's delivery location: This Wednesday at midnight, Wan Chai Ferry Pier]

The two intelligence reports unfolded in my mind like two open maps, with every detail crystal clear.

Chen Fan opened his eyes and memorized the information.

Today is Monday, there's still plenty of time, so we can prepare in time.

Chen Fan closed the system panel and continued forward, finally arriving at the ice room where he had arranged to meet Wei Jixiang.

It's very close to the teahouse, less than 100 meters away.

When he came in, apart from Wei Jixiang who was still sitting, many guests had gone to watch the excitement.

Upon seeing Chen Fan enter, Wei Jixiang immediately stood up.

"Brother Fan!"

"sit."

Chen Fan sat down opposite and ordered a glass of iced lemon tea from the waiter.

"How's it going at the company?"

"The registration has been completed. The business scope includes security, escort, and private protection. Take a look, Brother Fan."

Chen Fan took the document and flipped through it. The document was very neat, with all the necessary stamps and signatures.

"good."

He closed the file and placed it on the table. "Next, we need to recruit people. The first batch doesn't need to be too many, ten or eight will be enough, but they must be reliable."

"I see."

Wei Jixiang nodded, then hesitated for a moment: "Brother Fan, there's something..."

"explain."

"When starting this kind of company, it's best to have a lawyer help us review contracts and sign documents. I don't know anything about it myself, and I'm afraid there will be problems later."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan picked up the iced lemon tea and took a sip.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements then. You should start recruiting first. By the way, how's that Gao Gang thing going?"

"That kid is like a mule, he listens to his girlfriend in everything, he's completely impervious to reason."

When Wei Jixiang talked about this, he was speechless. He probably had rarely seen such a stupid guy.

"It's okay, just keep an eye on his messages."

Chen Fan said softly.

Upon hearing this, Wei Jixiang nodded, then looked hesitant.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother Fan, what about Hong Tai...?"

Wei Jixiang lowered his voice, "Uncle Mei is out."

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

There were quite a few of the number four guys hidden with this old man back then, enough for him to spend the rest of his life in jail. I never expected him to be out so quickly.

"When did this happen?"

"A couple of days ago, it was said that he hired the most expensive lawyer and somehow got involved with some foreigners, so he was quickly released on bail and even his previous charges were dropped."

Wei Jixiang's face was very pale. "He was looking for me everywhere outside, but luckily I was hiding in the fortress most of the time, and there was also some news."

"What?"

"Your bonus of one million has recently appeared on the black market, Brother Fan. I guess he's the one who got it."

A hint of killing intent flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.

"Okay, do you know anyone who sells guns?"

"I knew a few of them before."

"Get me a Black Star rifle, and also 300 rounds of ammunition."

"it is good."

Wei Jixiang didn't ask why, but readily agreed.

The two chatted for a while, then went their separate ways after finishing their drinks.

In fact, Chen Fan's purpose in having Wei Jixiang establish this company was not to make a profit, but to gather some guys like Gao Gang to work for him.

While being a police officer is useful, it can also be a constraint in many ways.

For example, someone like Uncle Mei, the leader of Hongtai.

In the port city, if you have money, status, and power, even if the evidence is conclusive, you can be released quickly after being imprisoned.

Chen Fan didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he either wouldn't do it at all, or if he did, he wanted to eliminate any potential problems.

......

......

The next day, as soon as Chen Fan stepped into the O-Division office, he was surrounded by Big Mouth, Water Ghost, and a few other guys.

"Afan! You were on the news again last night!"

Big Mouth grabbed his shoulder, waving a newspaper in front of him, "That Yuan Haoyun from the Major Crimes Unit was praising you to the skies to the reporters!"

The water ghost leaned closer and pointed to a passage in the newspaper, reading aloud: "Without the heroic actions of Officer Chen Fan of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, neither I nor the people in the teahouse would have escaped unscathed—wow, Fan, you really made our Organized Crime and Triad Bureau proud this time!"

Chen Fan took the newspaper and glanced at it, and sure enough, he saw that his name occupied a considerable portion of the article.

Besides Ming Pao Weekly, several major newspapers, including Sing Tao Daily, Oriental Daily News, and Hong Kong Commercial Daily, also reported on the teahouse shootout, with different headlines, but all focusing on it.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. If we're really going to praise Yuan Haoyun, his act of pulling out a gun in the middle of the city is truly outrageous.

"Brother Fan, you're famous again."

Chili suddenly appeared and said in a somewhat exaggerated tone, "My classmates at the police academy called me first thing this morning to ask if you really have three heads and six arms."

"What do you mean by three heads and six arms? There were so many ordinary people in the teahouse at the time, I just wanted to save as many people as possible."

Chen Fan interrupted him, "You were lucky this time, but luck won't last forever. Don't follow my example. If you encounter a situation, always call for backup first."

That's right.

Big Mouth nodded in agreement: "Afan, you're the rising star of our police force right now, so you'd better be careful in the future."

Originally, many people were unhappy that Chen Fan was put in charge of a team by himself as soon as he arrived at the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau.

Why should a newcomer who just transferred from the military be allowed to lead a team?

But after the incident at the teahouse, those little schemes faded considerably.

Although there are many petty and despicable things happening in the police force, most people still admire the strong.

Chen Fan demonstrated his abilities, so it was only natural that he received special treatment.

However, not everyone thinks this way.

"A hot potato? More like a frog! Shoots a few short mules and it's in the newspaper every day. People who don't know any better would think he owns the newspaper!"

Everyone turned to look, and Xie Jin'an was leaning back in his chair, legs crossed, with a look of disdain on his face.

The office fell silent for a moment.

Big Mouth frowned and gave Chen Fan a wink, meaning to ignore him.

The water ghost shook its head slightly and gently tugged at Chen Fan.

Xie Jinan's father is a police superintendent, and the entire Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) knows about this.

Normally, people keep their distance from him and tolerate him as much as possible.

But Chen Fan seemed not to notice the hints and strode towards Xie Jin'an.

"What did you say?"

Xie Jin'an felt a little embarrassed being looked down at, but he still forced a cold smile:

"I'd say some people have little talent, but a lot of noise!"

"Really? What skills do you have?"

Chen Fan wasn't going to tolerate this scoundrel's bad habits, so he went straight for the kill.

Xie Jinan was taken aback.

"Do you know how to shoot?"

Chen Fan's voice was neither loud nor soft, but loud enough to be heard throughout the office, "Do you know how to unlock a car? People are giving you face because they're afraid your dad's a police superintendent, but you really think you're something special?"

"you--"

"What about me?"

Chen Fan reached out and tapped Xie Jin'an on the shoulder: "In my eyes, you're not even as good as Xiao Li who answers the phone at the counter! Useless!"

Xie Jin'an's face turned bright red, and he suddenly stood up.

"What the hell did you say?!"

I said you're a piece of trash.

Chen Fan said, enunciating each word clearly, "A good-for-nothing who only knows how to hide under his father's butt and doesn't even dare to fire a gun."

"I'll f*** your mother!"

Xie Jinan completely lost it and threw a punch.

Without even blinking, Chen Fan raised his left hand and grabbed his wrist, gently twisting it with his thumb against the inside of the wrist bone.

Xie Jin'an bent down in the direction of his wrist, half of his body went numb, and he hissed as he gasped for breath.

"You—let go!"

Chen Fan didn't loosen his grip; instead, he increased his strength even more.

"That's enough!"

Just then, Lu Qichang's voice came from behind.

Chen Fan released his grip, took a step back, and his expression returned to normal.

Xie Jin'an clutched his wrist, his face ashen, his lips trembling as he tried to say something, but a look from him silenced him.

"Afan, come with me."

Lu Qichang smiled at Chen Fan, then looked sternly at Xie Jin'an.

Although nothing was said, the attitude was self-evident.

Xie Jin'an stood there, his face turning pale and then red. The gazes of Da Zui and the others felt like knives to him.

"What are you looking at!"

No one spoke to him, and no one paid him any attention.

the other side.

Lu Qichang brought Chen Fan to the office.

"Xie Jinan's father is the head of the intelligence department and has a long-standing relationship with Inspector Li; otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to send him here."

He first explained, then added, "But don't worry, it's not up to outsiders to interfere in the affairs of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau. After this, I will transfer Xie Jinan away."

"Thank you, Sir!"

Chen Fan stood up straight and saluted.

"Don't thank me, you earned this through your own abilities."

Lu Qichang smiled and said, "Please sit down."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Officer Lu, I..."

"Wait, let me explain first."

Lu Qichang interrupted him, "The Serious Crimes Unit has spoken with Inspector Li about the teahouse incident, and Superintendent Biu from the Central Police Station also publicly praised you at a meeting. He wants to temporarily transfer you there for a while."

"This is just what I should do as a police officer!"

Chen Fan immediately said.

"Whether something should be done or not, there's also the question of whether it's even possible to do it."

Luk Kai-cheung smiled broadly, clearly pleased with himself: "Uncle Biao is a veteran who has solved many major cases. When he asked, Inspector Lee couldn't refuse."

"So I'm going to join the Major Crimes Unit next?"

"You're on secondment, and your personnel file is still with the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau. Besides, you're too young and your position isn't high enough, so there will inevitably be some inconveniences."

At this point, Lu Qichang paused, "Inspector Li plans to promote you to sergeant, but you still need to have outstanding achievements, specifically cases that you personally led the team to solve."

Then he took out several documents.

"These are the information on the arms smuggling and organ trafficking gangs that the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau is currently investigating. Pick one yourself."

"Inspector Lu, I've caught the Ni family red-handed."

Chen Fan didn't go to get the things, but started talking about other things.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qichang immediately perked up.

Explain carefully!

"While I was keeping an eye on Big D during this time, I also took some time to investigate the Ni family. Finally, through a friend, I learned about Ni Yongxiao's recent activities."

Chen Fan made up a random excuse and then recounted the information he had bought from the system.

Place names, times, routes—everything is crystal clear.

After listening, Lu Qichang's expression was somewhat conflicted.

"Are you sure it's true?"

"Whether it is true or not, we should still go and take a look."

Chen Fan didn't make any guarantees, but he did state his position: "If Inspector Lu is worried about wasting police resources, why don't you let me lead the team there?"

"no."

Lu Qichang refused outright, then hesitated.

Just then, the office door was pushed open from the outside.

Huang Zhicheng strode in, his face tense, his brows furrowed in a tight knot.

He saw Chen Fan sitting inside and paused in his tracks.

"Is Afan here too?"

"Wong Sir".

Chen Fan stood up and bowed slightly.

Huang Zhicheng turned his head and looked at Lu Qichang.

The two had been partners for many years, and the latter immediately understood, then slowly shook his head.

Huang Zhicheng was taken aback when he saw this, but he didn't say anything.

"I just received news that before Gandhi went to war, he received an unknown phone call and was given 50 in cash to send to Sham Shui Po."

"Oh?"

Lu Qichang's spirits lifted upon hearing this. "You mean, someone said something to Gan that caused him to suddenly go mad?"

"That's right, I suspect someone used us to eliminate the Ni family."

Huang Zhicheng nodded slightly.

"It's not surprising that the Ni family has attracted so much attention over the years."

Lu Qichang shook his head: "But I've made some new progress on my end."

"What?"

Huang Zhicheng asked curiously.

Lu Qichang smiled and recounted the information he had just learned.

"If the information is accurate, this might just put Ni Yongxiao and Han Chen in their place!"

For some reason, he did not mention that the information was provided by Chen Fan.

"I'll arrange it right away!"

Huang Zhicheng immediately became excited; he had been looking forward to this day for far too long.

After the office door was closed, Lu Qichang stood up and patted Chen Fan on the shoulder.

"I provided the information, so even if it's fake, it doesn't matter. Prepare yourself well and take down Ni Yongxiao first!"

Clearly, he was afraid the news was false and would affect Chen Fan, so he chose to say it himself.
