Game within game: chess player

The person in charge of Yuntong Logistics is a British Chinese named Song Xuelin, who is 42 years old this year. In his early years, he was the manager of the logistics department of Kadoorie Group. After the restructuring of the group, he was appointed as the president of Express Logistics, responsible for the logistics and transportation tasks between all enterprises within the Kadoorie Group.

When Song Xuelin arrived at the company early in the morning, he received a report from his subordinates, saying that the truck was missing from the logistics and warehousing base. All the surveillance videos at the base had been cleaned. The subordinates asked if they could call the police.

"What? All four trucks are missing?!"

Song Xuelin instantly felt that he was as big as two people. The goods in this box were asked by William, the vice president of the group, to pick them up. Although I don’t know how much these equipment are worth, based on Song Xuelin’s many years of logistics experience, I can judge that the value of these equipment should not be less than [-] million. All the goods worth tens of millions were lost inexplicably overnight. Song Xuelin quickly took people to the storage base of Express Logistics. After a round of investigation, Song Xuelin found nothing.

But at this time, Song Xuelin did not dare to report the matter to Vice President William immediately. Once this matter was reported, he would probably lose his hat. The most important thing now is to find a way to recover this batch of goods. Since this batch of goods was still in the cargo hold during the night patrol last night, there is a high probability that this batch of goods was lost this morning.

Song Xuelin did not dare to call the police. Once he called the police, the group would know. The only place Song Xuelin could turn to for help was the society here. The society has a wide network of contacts, and as long as they are willing to spend money, they will surely find some clues. Song Xuelin did not believe that no one saw four large trucks swaying on the road.

Song Xuelin had been running logistics in Hong Kong for many years and had many opportunities to deal with various large and small societies. Then Song Xuelin called Ma Rong, the eldest brother of a society under Sun Ngee On, which was very powerful in Tsuen Wan.

The Sun Ngee Ann Society is second only to 14K in power in Hong Kong and is the largest society in Hong Kong. Ma Rong is one of the "Five Tigers and Ten Heroes" of Xin Ngee Ann, with more than 500 subordinates. Ma Rong also helped Song Xuelin many times to resolve extortion and missing goods in logistics and transportation. The two still had some friendship. So when Song Xuelin contacted Ma Rong and was willing to pay an exciting investigation fee, Ma Rong immediately agreed, and then immediately sent his men to the door to get information about the lost truck and promised that as long as the car was lost in Tsuen Wan, I will definitely get it back for him.

With Ma Rong's guarantee, Song Xuelin's anxious heart calmed down a little and he went straight back to the company to wait for the news.

As busy as Song Xuelin was Liu Yongcheng of O Ji. Liu Yongcheng retrieved the surveillance videos inside and outside the tycoon and quickly locked onto Ye Fang.

Due to the camera quality of the surveillance equipment, Liu Yongcheng went to the police headquarters to ask the technical department to clear the images of Ye Fang and others. When Liu Yongcheng got the relatively clear picture information of Ye Fang, it was already dark, so Liu Yongcheng returned to Yuen Long. After reporting to his immediate boss Zeng Weixiong, he decided to immediately launch an investigation into Ye Fang.

Although the Hong Kong police already had the most advanced portrait comparison system in Asia 20 years ago, it still takes some time to search for Ye Fang's information among the 700 million permanent residents.

Therefore, after Liu Yongcheng returned to Yuen Long, he held a meeting overnight, involving Hong Kong's aviation, seaports, and land transportation gateways to collect Ye Fang's information, including text information comparison and image data search. It is estimated that it will take three to five days to get results.

Dai Quan, Ji Xiong and Tie Rendong are all receiving intensive treatment in the hospital and are not yet available for questioning. Liu Yongcheng has no choice but to wait.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Liu Yongcheng walked out of the Yuen Long Police Station after the meeting. There was a milk tea shop opposite the police station, and the hungry Liu Yongcheng walked straight in.

The milk tea shop was not big, and there were no customers in the shop at this time. Liu Yongcheng ordered a cup of milk tea and a sandwich, found a table and sat down. This has become a habit of his for many years. He likes to sit at the table near the window, because sitting here he can directly see the door of the police station.

"Can I sit here?"

Liu Yongcheng looked up and saw a man of similar age to himself, holding the same milk tea and sandwich as himself, talking to him.

The man's eyes were very bright, making Liu Yongcheng slightly stunned. Liu Yongcheng looked back at the empty seats in the milk tea shop. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he nodded.

"Thank you!" Ye Fang sat down with milk tea and sandwiches.

Ye Fang sat down and ate the Hong Kong version of the sandwich silently, feeling that it was much more delicious than the mainland version, although Ye Fang had not actually eaten it.

"The food on Hong Kong Island is more exquisite than the mainland." Ye Fang said while eating.

Liu Yongcheng looked up at Ye Fang and asked, "Coming from the mainland? Traveling?"

Ye Fang nodded, lowered his head and continued, "That's about it. I lost my things on Hong Kong Island, so I stopped by to take a look."

Liu Yongcheng suddenly had a flash of enlightenment in his eyes. He felt that something was not quite right, as if he had missed something. He suddenly raised his head and glanced at Ye Fang again. Today's image comparison photo immediately flashed in his mind. The photo was so similar to the person in front of him.

"No! Isn't this the person in the photo?" Liu Yongcheng was shocked.

Thinking of this, Liu Yongcheng was about to take out his pistol as if reflexively. At this moment, Ye Fang suddenly said, "If I were you, I wouldn't be so impulsive."

After Ye Fang finished speaking, he looked up at Liu Yongcheng. Liu Yongcheng noticed that the two of them were the only ones in the entire milk tea shop. He looked at Ye Fang up and down. Liu Yongcheng, who was very confident in his own skills, thought that Ye Fang in front of him did not pose any threat to him, so he took his time. He slowly retracted his right hand.

"You are very courageous." Liu Yongcheng said solemnly.

"No, I'm very timid, that's why I thought of coming to the police." Ye Fang said calmly.

"Why did you have a conflict with Ji Xiong and the others and beat them to a disability? Aren't you afraid that the 14K Society will settle the score with you? You are playing with fire, do you understand?" Liu Yongcheng took the opportunity to get firsthand information from Ye Fang. Information, because he vaguely guessed that neither Ji Xiong, Dai Quan, or Tie Rendong would tell the truth to him, especially about such a shameless matter.

Ye Fang calmly took a sip of milk tea, took out a napkin and wiped the milk stains at the corner of his mouth, and said, "That's because they robbed my goods and wanted to blackmail me for a large sum of money. Do you think they should fight?" If it were you who threatened to steal your things and blackmail you, would you let them go?"

"I...you...can you call the police?" Liu Yongcheng said

"Call the police?" Ye Fang chuckled and said, "If they move my goods or destroy them during the time I call the police, so what if the police catch them. Not to mention that the police have to find evidence to arrest people. If you can't catch it with the front foot, the back foot will be released. I can tell you that their lives are important together with that set of goods."

"I don't have that much effort. I can only use the method I think is most suitable to pry open their mouths." Ye Fang said solemnly.

"Did you pry it open?" Liu Yongcheng asked.

Ye Fang nodded and said, "But now I want to know more about who is instigating them behind the scenes? The most important thing is that I still have a batch of goods that are not with them."

"You have another batch of goods? Where is that batch of goods?" Liu Yongcheng thought that the other batch of goods was still in the hands of some society.

"In the hands of Hong Kong Customs." Ye Fang said calmly.

"Where is it, Hong Kong Customs?" Liu Yongcheng's voice immediately rose an octave and continued, "Could your seized goods be smuggled in, right?"

"You guessed it right!" Ye Fang said.

"It's really smuggled goods, you are too brave! Your smuggled goods were robbed by Ji Xiong, and some of them were seized by Hong Kong Customs. Do you still want to go to Hong Kong Customs to request the goods?" Liu Yongcheng asked.

Ye Fang nodded and said, "I do think so."

"Are you crazy? Hong Kong is a legal society and everything is governed by the rule of law. What you do in the mainland will not work here." Liu Yongcheng now feels that Ye Fang is crazy.

"Do you know that I can arrest you right now? At least charge you with intentional injury, illegal detention and many other crimes." Liu Yongcheng said loudly.

"Arrest me?" Ye Fang smiled and said, "Your level is not high enough. I want to see your direct superior."

The O of the Hong Kong Police Force, that is, the Organized Crime and Triad Investigation Bureau, is commanded by a Chief Superintendent, with a Senior Superintendent as his deputy, responsible for managing and planning the affairs of the Division. O Ji is divided into three ABC groups according to their jurisdiction. Each group is headed by a superintendent who leads the entire group. A chief inspector is responsible for specific action execution. This team is divided into two action teams, each led by a senior inspector.

Liu Yongcheng is the chief inspector of Team B of O Ji who is responsible for commanding triad criminal investigation operations. His immediate superior is Zeng Weixiong, one of the three major superintendents of O Ji.

"Is my superior someone you can meet if you want?" Liu Yongcheng said bluntly.

"Since I have this plan, I can definitely get him to agree to see me." As he spoke, Ye Fang took out a piece of paper with two sets of numbers written on it.

"The number above is my phone number in Hong Kong. Tell your immediate superior the number below. If he is smart enough, he will definitely meet me." Ye Fang confidently pushed the piece of paper in front of Liu Yongcheng.

Liu Yongcheng picked up the piece of paper and glanced at it. It was indeed Hong Kong's phone number, but he didn't know the meaning of the set of numbers below.

Liu Yongcheng knocked on the paper on the table, stared at Ye Fang and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Call your boss now and tell him these numbers. The most important thing is to tell him that I want to see him." Ye Fang said.

"What makes you think that I will do as you ask instead of asking people to arrest you now?" Liu Yongcheng's eyes were hesitant. Although he said this, he was weighing what Ye Fang said in his mind. , trying to figure out what Ye Fang’s plan is.

A mysterious smile appeared on Ye Fang's lips, and he said, "I guarantee you will get something different after making this call."

"It's just a phone call. Doesn't Sir Liu have the courage to give it a try?" Ye Fang said slowly, staring into Liu Yongcheng's eyes.

Liu Yongcheng glanced at the note in his hand, then looked up at Ye Fang's eyes full of stories, and said slowly, "Okay, I will believe you just once. If you let me know that you are playing tricks on me, I will kill you in the next second." Catch him."

Ye Fang spread his hands freely and said, "Whatever."

Liu Yongcheng sat on his seat and took out his mobile phone to call his boss Zeng Weixiong. Fortunately, Zeng Weixiong had not rested yet. Liu Yongcheng learned the strange scene in front of him on the phone from Zeng Weixiong, and then told Zeng Weixiong the set of numbers.

"Wait for my call." Zeng Weixiong hung up the phone directly, and then looked at the set of numbers seriously. Zeng Weixiong was also guessing what the numbers meant.

Tsang Wei-hsiung is in his early forties today and is the youngest among the three superintendents of O. His rich resume and excellent case-handling experience have allowed him to be promoted quickly in the police force. Due to the professional sensitivity of the police, Zeng Weixiong felt that Ye Fang was definitely not a targetless person. Since he dared to appear in the police station at this time, he was absolutely confident, and he was sure that he would want to see him after seeing this set of numbers.

“1...3...9...0...1...0...0...”曾伟雄在心里默念着这一组数字，总感觉这一组数字在哪里见过，但就是一时之间就想不起来在什么地方见过这样的数字。

Zeng Weixiong was sitting behind his desk, subconsciously pressing the numbers one by one on his mobile phone.

Suddenly, Zeng Weixiong found a name appearing on his mobile phone.

Haven Mountain!

Seeing this name, Zeng Weixiong stood up from behind his desk. At this moment, he suddenly understood that this group of numbers had no special meaning. It was just a mobile phone number, and this mobile phone number belonged to Haiwen Mountain.

Of course Zeng Weixiong knew who Haiwenshan was, otherwise he would not have saved his mobile phone number.

Just half a month ago, Zeng Weixiong accompanied senior officials of the Hong Kong Police Force to the capital to attend a meeting. The topic of the meeting was how to carry out police linkage and coordinated operations between the mainland and Hong Kong. Because Zeng Weixiong is in charge of triad organized crime cases in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong's triad organizations have gradually penetrated into Guangdong in recent years, causing a certain degree of damage to the local social order, under the leadership of Hai Wenshan, he and Zeng Weixiong O Ji Senior officials held a seminar specifically on how to combat triad organizations. After the meeting, Hai Wenshan and Zeng Weixiong exchanged mobile phone numbers, and the two parties agreed to maintain regular telephone conference communication.

How come this person has Haiwenshan’s phone number? What is his relationship with Haiwen Mountain?

Tsang Wei-hsiung is very aware of the importance of Haiwenshan in the mainland police circles. He has the same status as the Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Force! No! It's a big brother level! The Hong Kong Police Force only manages tens of thousands of police officers, while Haven Hill manages more than one million police officers.

This is not a quantitative level at all. Although Hong Kong implements one country, two systems, Shanghai Wenshan can definitely talk directly to the chief executive if he has the weight to speak.

Thinking of this, Zeng Weixiong looked at Haiwenshan's name on the phone, pressed the answer button and dialed the phone.

"Sir Zeng, hello." Even though it was already 10:30, Hai Wenshan was still working. Although he was saying haha, he knew in his heart that Zeng Weixiong must have something important, otherwise he would never be so late. Call yourself. At the same time, Hai Wenshan also knew that according to the coordination regulations between Hong Kong and the Mainland, any phone call must be reported to the Hong Kong Police Force, and Zeng Weixiong's phone call was definitely not reported to the Police Force.

"Hello, leader! I'm sorry to call you like this and disturb your rest." Zeng Weixiong stood up and said respectfully, as if Haiwenshan was standing in front of him at this moment.

"Weixiong, did you learn this title from this meeting in Beijing?" Hai Wenshan chuckled, then changed the subject and asked, "You called me so late, what's wrong?"

"It's true." Zeng Weixiong reorganized the words in his mind and asked word for word, "Do you know a person named Ye Fang?"

Hearing Zeng Weixiong ask this, Hai Wenshan was slightly surprised, then reacted and quickly replied, "I know him."

"He is in Hong Kong now and is in some trouble." After Zeng Weixiong said this, his heart was already in his throat. He didn't know the relationship between Ye Fang and Hai Wenshan, nor did he know that he had called Hai Wenshan directly. What is right or wrong?

Hai Wenshan thought a lot and guessed the purpose of Zeng Weixiong's call to him. He also guessed that Ye Fang must have used some means to make Zeng Weixiong call him. To put it bluntly, Haiwenshan already knew that Ye Fang was using himself as a shield. Ye Fang would not use such extreme measures unless he encountered an insurmountable problem.

"Weixiong, we are all police officers. You don't need to have any worries, you must uphold your impartiality, base everything on facts and the law. In this way, you will not go wrong in handling the case. I believe you will handle both of them well. The relationship between them." Hai Wenshan said solemnly.

"Yes, leader, I understand what to do." Zeng Weixiong replied angrily.

"Okay, Wei Xiong, you are the youngest superintendent in the Hong Kong police and you have a bright future. There will be a training course for senior police management cadres in the mainland in mid-April. I will send an invitation letter to Director Xu Qian. You can come then. Let's go." After saying this, Hai Wenshan hung up the phone.

When Zeng Weixiong put down the phone, he felt that his back was already soaked.

Then he picked up the phone and called Liu Yongcheng, and said, "You and Ye Fang come to my house together."
