Crossing Hong Kong to be a police officer, but the system is wrong

April 4, 4:12 p.m., CIB headquarters, inquiry room.

Luo Xiuling and Song Shijie asked the serious crime squad captain Feng Zhiwei to sit down opposite the triangular table.

"1243, CIB Superintendent of Police Lo Sau Ling and Trainee Inspector Song Sai Kit are now questioning Sergeant Fung Chi Wai of the West Kowloon Serious Crime Unit."

Luo Xiuling presided over the trial, and Song Shijie assisted in taking notes.

"Sirs, I am a police officer. I don't understand why you CIB brought me back from the Serious Crime Unit for no reason."

Feng Zhiwei was full of complaints, but he actually knew it. Ever since he met the woman named Peng Hui in the bar a few days ago, he had been unlucky. Who knew that she was actually the girlfriend of the gang leader Hou Wenhua!

"Mr. Feng, every file we open at CIB is based on facts. Based on the information we have so far, we suspect that you, as a police officer, have had frequent contact with gang members recently. Do you have any explanation?"

……

The matter was soon clarified. According to Feng Zhiwei's confession, he and Peng Hui were just ordinary friends, and he did not know Hou Wenhua at all. Hou Wenhua met with him last night to hint that he should stay away from Peng Hui, but did not make any specific threats.

After Feng Zhiwei left, Luo Xiuling asked, "Do you think he was telling the truth?"

"There are no flaws in his confession, but I can't be 100% sure. If what he said was indeed Peng Hui who had been actively pestering him, then the problem is even bigger. No man is willing to accept his woman taking the initiative to seduce others, which is more difficult to accept than her being seduced by others. What's more, it was Hou Wenhua. I have a hunch that Hou Wenhua is likely to do something to him or his daughter."

Song Shijie expressed his analysis.

"That makes sense. Then we should continue to send people to keep an eye on them, father and daughter, to prevent them from being retaliated by Hou Wenhua. Well, as for Hou Wenhua's people, he probably won't do it himself."

……

4:48 p.m.

Luo Xiuling continued to lead the entire Group B to carry out intelligence collection and analysis work, while Song Shijie led the monitoring team of Group A to set up control in a house near the Hou Wenhua society’s base.

According to the information sent back by Yang Qidong, Hou Wenhua has already informed Genting that the three big bosses, Fit Rong and Cai Shen, will have dinner and negotiate at the Sanyang Clan Association tonight.

This is definitely a Hongmen Banquet. The anti-gang and serious crime teams under O Ji, PTU, EU and other police departments have deployed a large number of personnel nearby just in case.

At this time, Song Shijie's cell phone rang, and the caller was: Lu Yaoguo.

"Hey, Sir Lu, what's going on?"

"I'm downstairs at the Sanyang Clan Association. Hou Wenhua just chatted with me for a few words."

"Yes, I saw it. I was watching you from upstairs. You two are very high-profile."

Song Shijie was not lying. He had just seen with his own eyes that Hou Wenhua pulled Lu Yaoguo aside and talked to him for a while in front of a group of police officers before returning to the Sanyang Clan Association.

"He told me that he is confident that he can unify the underworld. As long as our police don't make things difficult for him, he guarantees that Hong Kong's public security will be better than before..."

"You're sick!" Song Shijie said concisely.

"Based on my understanding of him, he would not make such a statement to an old friend like me without absolute certainty. I am worried that he might make some big moves."

"Sir Lu, don't be fooled. He is a gangster and we are the police. If he breaks the law, we will arrest him. It's that simple."

Song Shijie was really afraid that Lu Yaoguo would be pua by Hou Wenhua.

"Okay, don't worry. I'm a police officer and I know what to do. Hou Wenhua, Yunding and the other two will have a meeting tonight, so everyone should be alert."

"Yeah, bye."

Song Shijie hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and asked, "Have Jodie, Yunding, Caishen, and Fitrong set off?"

Zhou Wangqing, who was directing his men's busy work, responded: "They all set out on their own, bringing many of their younger brothers with them."

"We also need to send our brothers and sisters to keep an eye on the families of these three bosses."

"Ah? Isn't it said that people in the underworld should not spare their wives and children from harm during negotiations?" Zhou Wangqing found it a little difficult to understand.

"That's the old school. You've heard of Liang Kun, right? He was a scumbag leader of the Hongxing Society in the 1990s who specialized in kidnapping the families of his enemies. I've looked up Hou Wenhua's history of making a fortune. It's very likely that he did something similar more than once during his rise to power. The families of several of his enemies disappeared inexplicably. He just did it cleanly and left no clues."

"Okay, I'll apply for support from above." Zhou Wangqing also took it seriously.

At 18:50, the motorcades of Genting Fit Rong and Caishen arrived at the Sanyang Clan Association respectively and were welcomed upstairs by the leaders of the societies including Sha Pi and Hou Wenhui.

"Strange, I don't think I've seen Hou Wenying show up."

Song Shijie felt something was wrong and immediately asked the surveillance team, "Did anyone notice that Hou Wenying went downstairs today?"

"No, Sir. Since the three brothers Hou Wenhua, Wenying and Wenhui went upstairs in the afternoon, we haven't seen Hou Wenying come down." The subordinate immediately reported.

Hou Wenying and Hou Wenhui are Hou Wenhua's brothers. Logically, they have equal status. There is no reason to let only Wenhui come down to greet the guests, unless he was secretly sent out to "do things" and it is unknown how he avoided the police's eyes and ears.

Unfortunately, for the safety of his undercover agent, Song Shijie could not take the initiative to contact Yang Qidong upstairs to find out the situation unless it was absolutely necessary. The curtains inside the Sanyang Clan Association had all been drawn, and the monitoring device was not working properly due to interference from the equipment. The police outside were completely in the dark about the situation inside.

Just when Song Shijie was hesitating whether to call Lu Yaoguo and ask him to cooperate in leading a team to investigate the situation with the universal excuse of "suspected gathering to engage in triad activities", Zhou Wangqing received a call and his expression suddenly changed:

"Jet, something might have happened. Our paparazzi just arrived at Genting's residence in Yau Tong. The door was closed and the lights were off. A female paparazzi pretended to be a salesperson for a cram school and called his wife, but her phone was turned off. The primary school where Genting's son attends said that his wife picked up the child from school today as usual. I'm worried that they might be in danger."

There is nothing much to say, we can only report it immediately to the relevant departments for assistance in checking the surveillance.

It is now 2004, and the surveillance coverage of the entire Hong Kong is really worrying. Fortunately, Genting Residence is a relatively high-end building in Kwun Tong District, and the nearby surveillance is relatively sufficient. Soon, the road surveillance found something:

At 18:35, Yunding’s wife drove to pick up her child and was taken home. When she drove to a small road near the community, she was stopped by a black van. Several armed gangsters got out of the car and took the mother and child into the van. The van drove away and the whole journey took less than 2 minutes.

As this was a suspected kidnapping incident, all police departments took it very seriously and immediately tracked the route of the van. The latest whereabouts were that the van crossed the sea via Route 2 on Lei Yue Mun Road towards Shau Kei Wan.

"You guys, come with me. Jodie, you stay here to command and continue trying to track down Genting's wife. And, there's Hou Wenying's cell phone signal. We'll be in touch at any time." Song Shijie immediately led the team out and took out his cell phone to dial Gong Jiapei's number.

"Gong Sir, there is an emergency now..."
