Volume 4: Chasing the Dragon Chapter 0085 Lin Bangban
Xue Jifu said: "In recent years, citizens have complained more and more about police officers, and the voices of dissatisfaction have become louder and louder. Last year's demonstrations and this year's riots have attracted the Hong Kong government's attention. London has called the Governor on this issue many times. Facts have proved that the staff of the Anti-Corruption Department have not fulfilled their duties well and have even become part of the parasites. In order to change this situation, the Police Force has decided after research and reported to the Governor for approval to carry out a rectification of the Anti-Corruption Department."
Xue Jifu paused for a moment, flipped through the documents in front of him and continued, "I will select two investigators from the current police system to investigate the police officers' corruption and bribery. The two investigators are Senior Superintendent Hunter and Mong Kok District Detective Lin Yue. Hunter will be responsible for the investigation of mid- and senior-level police officers, especially British police officers, while Lin Yue will lead the investigation of Chinese detectives. In addition, in order to reward his contribution to police work over the years, the headquarters has decided to promote him to assistant director after research."
There was no discussion, and the whole place was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Lin Yue is going to be transferred to the Anti-Corruption Bureau? Will he specialize in investigating Chinese detectives in the future? This is a promotion. Moreover, an assistant is equivalent to an inspector, which means he has officially entered the ranks of police officers. Who will be more senior between him and Lei Luo in the future?
Lei Luo frowned and glared at Xue Jifu fiercely. He was not stupid and knew what tricks the British were playing.
Was it because he wanted Lin Yue to investigate him by transferring him away from him at this time, or to such a sensitive department as the Anti-Corruption Department? If Lin Yue was also passive and lazy like the previous staff , would Xue Jifu take the opportunity to get rid of Lin Yue?
To put it bluntly, once Lin Yue investigates the Chinese detectives as required, no matter which inspector he finds, he will be implicated in the end, because a chain of corruption has been formed from the British to the Chinese detectives, and almost no one can be immune to it, not even Lin Yue himself.
More importantly, will Lin Yue investigate him?
Heart is under the kyte.
It’s hard to say.
Yan Tong and Lan Xiang, who were sitting opposite, were smiling, and their smiles were very sincere.
"Assistant Lin, congratulations."
Lan Xiang walked over and shook hands with him, saying, "Come on, open the champagne, open the champagne."
The inspectors around all came to their senses. Although they had their own thoughts in their hearts, they all smiled warmly and said compliments on the surface. Some people even opened champagne and toasted.
Investigator, the investigator who holds the power of life and death.
No matter what schemes the British were playing, they must not offend Lin Yue, lest he be dragged by the new official to be used as firewood.
After congratulating Lin Yue, Yan Tong walked up to Lei Luo and said, "Chief Detective Lei, congratulations. Lin Yue has become an investigator in the Anti-Corruption Department. Who will dare to go against you in the future? Aren't you afraid of being investigated? Don't you think so?"
At this time, Xue Jifu also came over, shook hands with Lin Yue first, then shook hands with Lei Luo, said a few compliments, and then left with his people.
…
Six months later, at Lin’s residence.
"Dad, Dad, do you think my painting is good-looking?" Lin Xi threw herself into Lin Yue's arms with a crayon painting in her hand.
He took the painting and took a look at it. On the green grass, there was a little girl with twin ponytails, holding a woman in a floral dress with her left hand, and a man with a crooked police hat on his right hand.
"Who is this?" Lin Yue asked, pointing at the woman in the floral dress.
"Mother."
"What about this?"
"dad."
"And what about this pretty little girl ?"
The little girl said crisply: "Lin Xi."
"Great." Lin Yue touched her head with his hand.
At this time, Zhuyouzi came over and said, "Why is Uncle Zai not in the painting?"
Lin Xi said: "If I draw you, there will be no place for dad and mom."
"The little girl is only six years old and her mouth is so mean, just like you." Zhuyouzai said with a smile.
Lin Yue glared at him: "Did she say something wrong?"
Zhuyouzi was speechless: "Two against one, I can't beat you."
"Lin Xi, Lin Xi."
Following the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs, Bai Qing walked into the living room and took Lin Xi's hand: "Let's go, grandma made your favorite clay pot rice today."
"Where's Dad?"
"Dad has something to talk to Uncle Lei about."
"Oh." The little girl looked at Lin Yue reluctantly and walked out, looking back every few steps.
Bai Qing left, and Lei Luo, who was standing in front of the French window looking at the mountain view, walked to the single sofa in the middle of the living room and sat down, putting his right foot on his left leg: "What do you mean by British?"
Lin Yue said: "They want to get an extra 10%."
"Bah!" Zhuyouzi said with hatred, "Those foreigners are so greedy. I thought they were serious this time, but they went back to their old ways."
"Hey, Zhuyouzi, you can't say that." Lei Luo said, "If it weren't for Lin Yue taking care of Hunter and those civilian police officers, the situation might have been even worse."
In the past, the agents distributed the fees collected from drug stalls, brothel stalls, gambling stalls, and cigarette stalls in the ratio of 3:2:1:0.5:3.5. 30% went to inspectors and above, 20% went to inspectors, 10% went to assistants, half of which went to police chiefs, and the rest went to grassroots police officers in the jurisdiction.
Zhuyouzi said, "Humph, damn the British, if they get 10% more, shouldn't we get 10% less?"
Lin Yue said: "The economic situation in Hong Kong has been very good in the past two years. The fees collected every day have more than doubled. In the past, the civilian police officers could only get a small share. Now they have the opportunity to share a piece of the pie. Of course, they will strive for the greatest benefit for themselves."
Lei Luo said, "If you get an extra 10%, I'll talk to the inspector and the sheriff."
Zhuyouzi complained a few more times in a low voice, then smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it is still Lin Yue who has a solution. That bastard Xue Jifu wanted to sow discord and divide us. What's going on now? He is being tortured by his own people. It feels so good, so good."
There are two investigators in the Anti-Corruption Department, one investigating the corruption of British police officers, and the other investigating the corruption of Chinese police officers.
The former chose Hunter and the latter chose Lin Yue.
Everyone in the West Kowloon police system knows what kind of character Hunter has. Why would that lazy, lustful, greedy, gambling, and incompetent guy investigate British police officers? Xue Jifu clearly wants to punish Lin Yue. Either he will be eliminated because of his lack of achievements, or he will fight Lei Luo to the death.
But no one expected that Hunter would change his behavior and become diligent. Later, he actually obtained a large amount of evidence of crimes committed by British police officers, which made the British people panic. Xue Jifu wanted to suppress the matter as the Commissioner of Police, but he did not expect that those civilian staff who had nowhere to get benefits would hold on to it and force Xue Jifu to investigate and prosecute all the British police officers involved.
There was no chaos among the Chinese police officers, but the British were the first to become chaotic.
In order to stabilize the situation, Xue Jifu had to compromise, and civilian police officers took the opportunity to join the army to share the cake, and Lin Yue became their spokesperson.
If you ask why Hunter became so capable, the answer is actually very simple.
fear!
