Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

This police station is not very lively.

The crime rate in Thailand is actually very high. According to common sense, the police station should be as noisy as the Hong Kong police station, but here it is very deserted.

Along the way, except for a few policemen on duty, there were basically no bad guys in sight.

The policemen looked curious when they saw Zhuang Dingxian. After all, handsome boys with fair skin like him are rare in Thailand.

Thai people are very dark, except for those men who have taken hormone injections since childhood, took nutritional supplements and devoted themselves to transforming into women, they are generally dark.

Zhuang Dingxian ignored those looks and went straight to the second floor as directed by the policeman at the door.

The second floor is the office of the police's serious crime team. As soon as Zhuang Dingxian arrived at the door, he was stopped by a voice, "What are you doing?"

Zhuang Dingxian looked back and saw a plainclothes policeman returning with a tea bottle to fetch water, staring at him warily.

Zhuang Dingxian smiled and said, "I'm looking for Director Huo Wen."

"Looking for our director, what do you want to do with him?"

"Of course there is something important -" Zhuang Dingxian said, taking out his business card from his pocket and handing it over, "Please let me know."

The other party took the business card, glanced at it, and muttered: "Hong Kong Royal Police Officer Chong Ting-hsien? You are from Hong Kong."

"Exactly."

"What are you doing here?"

"cooperate."

"Well?"

“I’ll tell you the details after I meet with your director.”

"Wait!" the plainclothes policeman grumbled impatiently before entering with a tea bottle.

Zhuang Dingxian had no choice but to wait outside.

A moment——

The plainclothes man turned around and came back to Zhuang Dingxian and said, "Our director lets you in!"

Zhuang Dingxian said: "Thank you very much!"

Step inside.

As soon as I entered, I heard a belt whipping sound.

"Asshole! Are you going to attack me or not? Don't think I dare not hit you. You even cheated an old lady out of her coffin money. How inhumane are you?"

Crackling!

The belt exploded.

A voice groaned: "No, I was wronged! It's not me. You can't wrongly accuse good people without evidence!"

"I have wronged you? I have some physical evidence on my side, and why do you think I have wronged you? Don't think that I don't know what you did before. You have a lot of fraud records!"

Crackling!

Another burst of convulsions.

Ouch!

The man howled in pain.

When Zhuang Dingxian walked in, he saw an unlucky man hanging from the beam with his hands tied together. A burly man was holding a belt and whipped his tender skin violently.

Between the ribs!

Calf!

Deliberately avoiding obvious parts such as the neck and cheeks, you will look like a veteran at first glance.

Not far away, a slightly fat man was sitting at a table. He was wearing a white striped sweatshirt with the two buttons of the collar open. He looked greasy, but his small eyes showed a cunning light from time to time.

Behind the fat man, a thin man with a middle-parted hair who looked like a traitor was holding a folding fan and was fanning the fat man. He said, "Director, this guy has a tough mouth! Lao Wu, please stop hitting me. Keep hitting me." After being beaten to death, the media accused us of abuse of lynching!"

The burly man turned around, looked at the fat man sitting and said, "Director, what should we do? If we continue to fight, something will happen to Zhendao!"

The fat man stood up after hearing this.

The thin man quickly followed up with a folding fan in hand and continued to help fan the wind.

Huo Wen, a slightly fat man, stepped forward with his hands behind his back and came to the hanging man. He stretched out his hand to lift the man's chin and asked him to look at him. "Hey, I am very impatient. I just want to ask, what is the fraud case?" Wasn't it you?"

The unlucky guy was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He looked at Huo Wen breathlessly and said two words: "No."

"Okay!" Huo Wen answered simply. He turned around and pulled out the gun from the thin man's waist, then turned around and put it on the unlucky man's forehead——

The unfortunate guy was startled, "What are you doing?"

Huo Wen's eyes were cold, "Since you don't admit it, it's useless to ask you, just collapse!"

"Are you kidding me? Murder is illegal, not to mention you are the police chief?" The unfortunate man's lips trembled a little and he looked at Huo Wen in fear.

Huo Wen looked at him coldly, clicked, loaded the bullet, and pointed it at the unfortunate man's head: "I want to ask you one last question, are you going to say it?"

"I--"

Howin was ready to pull the trigger.

"I said! Can't I confess?"

"Smart!" Huo Wen turned the pistol in a circle and threw it to the thin man next to him.

The thin man hurriedly took it.

"If you don't say anything, I will really kill you!" Huo Wen said coldly, "As you just said, it is illegal for police to kill, but it is not guilty for the police chief to kill! Do you understand?"

This sentence is arrogant and domineering, but people can't help but accept it.

At this time, someone saw Zhuang Dingxian standing at the door, walking up to Huo Wen and whispering a few words.

Huo Wen turned around and said to Zhuang Dingxian, "Please come in!"

Zhuang Dingxian went in.

Huo Wen looked at him twice and said, "You are from Hong Kong. Are you a police officer there?"

"Yes."

"Do you have a problem with me?"

"Yes!" Zhuang Dingxian looked around, "If you don't mind, I want to have a few words with you alone."

Huo Wen nodded and said to the burly man and the thin man: "Get out! Take this scared guy away by the way!"

"Yes, Director!"

The thin man and the burly man asked people to put the unfortunate guy down and take him away.

Huo Wen pointed to the office chair and said to Zhuang Dingxian: "Sit!"

Zhuang Dingxian sat down and looked around. The seats and benches were very simple, not as grand as other police stations in Thailand, with leather sofas and marble floors.

Huo Wen personally made a cup of tea for Zhuang Dingxian, handed it to him and said, "You are from Hong Kong, I am from Fujian, and we are both Chinese. If you need help, just ask."

Zhuang Dingxian was not polite, holding a teacup in his hand and said: "I am here on behalf of Interpol this time, and I want your agency to help eradicate the cancerous Blue Dragon Society in Bangkok -"

"Uh, Qinglonghui?" Huo Wen's little eyes flashed, and he immediately disappeared and said with a smile: "Zhuangsheng, are you kidding? Do you know what kind of organization the Qinglonghui is?"

"Of course I know." Zhuang Dingxian put down the tea cup, took out a cigarette from his suit pocket, and handed one to Huo Wen while holding it, "The Qinglong Society does all kinds of evil in Bangkok, including smuggling drugs, human trafficking, and torturing children to make them beg to make money. It's simply It’s a pity that some people are working as an accomplice, not only secretly protecting the Qinglong Society, but also informing them, making the Qinglong Society confident in their actions and never being caught!”

Huo Wen was stunned after hearing Zhuang Dingxian's words. His first reaction was that since Zhuang Dingxian had figured out the details of the Qinglong Society, what else was he looking for? Doesn’t the other party know that the biggest organization protecting the Blue Dragon Society is the Bangkok police?

However, his head turned quickly, and he immediately thought that since Zhuang Dingxian represents Interpol, it means that Interpol has at least targeted the Qinglong Society. The Qinglong Society has caused public outrage. If they are cruel, they can really kill this vicious person. Organize everything in one fell swoop.

Now that the man named Zhuang has found him, does he want him to help him and join forces with him? Then wouldn't he want to be the enemy of the General Administration? Is this a crisis or an opportunity?

Huo Wen's heart skipped a beat. He was already thirty-eight years old this year, but he was still only a branch chief. As a Chinese, his path to advancement in the Thai police force was restricted. However, his ambition to climb up was greater than anyone else's, but he did not have the right qualifications. opportunity.

Huo Wen came to Thailand in 1958 and officially joined the Thai police force through qualification training and examinations.

At that time, the Chinese were not very powerful, and the Chinese suffered local discrimination from whites. The highest race in Thailand, except for the Thai royal family, was white, mainly French.

The French are mining, building roads, and conducting train transportation in Thailand. Many local Thais are dependent on the French and follow their lead, including the Thai police force.

With the development of global decolonization, Thailand, a place that is not a colonial country, took the lead in launching an anti-French movement and drove out the white people who intended to colonize France!

Immediately, Thailand announced the implementation of an industrialization strategy centered on state capitalism and restricted the investment of private capital in industry. As a result, hundreds of newly built large state-owned enterprises suffered losses year after year, resulting in a heavy financial burden. Since the 1960s, Thailand has shifted its economic development strategy and promoted a market economy. The government has limited investment to infrastructure construction, eliminated the monopoly of state-owned enterprises in the economy, and promulgated a series of policies and regulations to encourage private investment. Private capital has Investment in industry is increasing year by year.

From the 1960s to the mid-1970s, the United States used Thailand as an important military base and rear area, stimulating the rapid development of Thailand's industry, transportation, commerce, and tourism.

At this time, Thailand has entered a stage of prosperity, with a development speed second only to the Four Asian Tigers.

Like many developing countries, economic development has created a breeding ground for corruption, especially within the Thai police. The corruption is no less than that of the Four Detectives in Hong Kong at the same time.

In order to get the upper hand, Huo Wen began to inquire about information. When he learned that Ding Weihan, one of the top Chinese policemen in Thailand, had returned from training in the United States, Huo Wen gave all his belongings, including his wife's dowry, to this great man. With this thigh, he rose directly from a corporal to the chief sergeant among Chinese Americans.

According to the Thai police rankings, Huo Wen is also considered a triple jump. Above him are second lieutenants, lieutenants, and captains, and above him are majors, lieutenant colonels, and colonels.

As Huo Wen's leader, Ding Weihan was directly promoted to colonel after returning from training in the United States and was in charge of the Southern Police Station, that is, the chief of the Southern Police Station.

Ding Weihan also took good care of Huo Wen. After being promoted to the southern chief, he promoted Huo Wen, a Chinese policeman, to a third level and directly became a captain to work under his command.

Under Ding Weihan's wing, Huo Wen was very motivated. Not only did he repeatedly solve major cases, he also dared to confront some powerful people who were bent on personal gain and perverting the law to fight for the rights of the Chinese. For this reason, he became the "Light of the Chinese" in Bangkok.

At that time, Huo Wen thought that as long as he relied on Ding Weihan, he would be able to achieve great success, but fate played a trick on him. In 1970, Ding Weihan received the King of Thailand's commendation for solving the "Thailand Palace Jewelry Theft Case" and was officially promoted to "Police Major General". The only Chinese who was promoted to major general.

Huo Wen took out the millions of baht he had accumulated over the past few years and wanted Ding Weihan to help him move into a colonel or lieutenant colonel position. Ding Weihan had already agreed, but before accepting the money and helping him with the activity, something happened in Thailand. coup.

In 1973, it was the "Soviet offensive and American defensive" stage in the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union. The United States had just withdrawn from Vietnam in embarrassment and was engaged in strategic contraction. The Soviet Union launched a massive offensive around the world, vigorously exporting revolution to countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and encouraged and funded democratic movements in third world countries. The world's democratic movements were surging. Against this background, a large-scale democratic movement also broke out in the Buddhist country of Thailand, calling for a military government. Stand down and implement democratic elections.

As the head of state, the King of Thailand received the activists in a timely manner and appointed a new non-military prime minister in accordance with the law - receiving subjects and appointing prime ministers are the few powers granted to the monarch by the constitutional monarchy.

Since then, the military government, which had been in power in Thailand for decades and came to power without democratic elections, has come to an end and has been replaced by a democratically elected government.

As a democratically elected government in the new era, the corrupt Thai police force has become the first target of reform for the people and the target of public criticism for the democratic movement.

As we all know, the corruption and bribery of the Thai police force at this time is even worse than that of the Hong Kong Black Gold Era. The people are complaining bitterly, and as a Chinese, Ding Weihan is not inherently advantageous. He quickly stepped down from the position of Major General Police and handed over the position to a local Thai person.

When Huo Wen heard the news, he wanted to spit out blood. Of course, he couldn't ask Ding Weihan for the money back. After all, the other party had helped and promoted him. Besides, a thin man's camel is bigger than a horse. Although Ding Weihan stepped down, his connections were still there. It was easy to deal with a captain policeman like him.

In desperation, Huo Wen had to find another backer, and relied on his daring and fighting ability to slowly be promoted from captain to major.

Just when Huo Wen thought that this might be the way his life would be, and the highest police rank was a major policeman, a miracle happened at this time---

At the next year's inauguration meeting, Huo Wen represented the Southern Police Station and actually jumped two levels and directly became the director of the Southern Police Station, which is the rank of colonel.

Huo Wen couldn't believe his ears when he heard the news. Later, he learned that all this was arranged and planned by the old predecessor Ding Weihan behind the scenes. He wanted to foster a trustworthy Chinese policeman in the police force to help the Chinese speak, and Huo Wen was the best candidate.

At this moment, Huo Wen was really glad that he did not ask Ding Weihan for the donation money.

Otherwise, there would not be such a result.

Now, Huo Wen has been a colonel police officer, that is, the chief of the Southern Police Station for three years.

During the three years, Huo Wen worked hard to manage the Southern Police Station in an orderly manner, not only reducing the local crime rate, but also making the local people begin to trust and trust the police.

As a Chinese, Huo Wen was praised by the Bangkok Chinese Organization, who believed that he was a rare talent, so they would use the greatest manpower and material resources to support him in his future re-election.

With such a promise, Huo Wen's originally peaceful heart began to stir again.

People must have ideals, otherwise what is the difference between them and salted fish?

Huo Wen's ideal is the peak that his old predecessor Ding Weihan once reached -

Major General Police!
