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

After his vacation, Song Shijie returned to CIB to work as usual.

Through his performance in confronting Fang Jiexia in this "big incident", Song Shijie's prestige among the police officers under CIB has increased significantly.

The side effect is that even with Li Wenbin backing him up, the fact that he had a conflict with his superior in public while handling a case is true, which may undoubtedly have a certain impact on the perception of some senior police officers towards Song Shijie.

There is even the possibility that some conspirators who feel that his position is too upright and that the police are in the way may use this to hinder his promotion.

Song Shijie couldn't care less about all these things, as he had a clear conscience anyway.

……

On May 5, two weeks after Wang Zhenyang officially took office as the Commissioner of Police, he finally organized and launched the first cross-departmental joint operation of the police force during his tenure, codenamed "Fenglei".

The operation was commanded by Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations) Tsang Heung-wing (from the "Cold War" series), with Director of Operations Lee Man-pan and Director of Crime and Security Kwok Chin-leung (from the TV series "Iron Detective") serving as deputy commanders respectively.

The current pyramid structure of the police force is topped by the Commissioner of Police (the top boss), followed by two Deputy Commissioners (Operation and Management), and under the Deputy Commissioners are five Senior Assistant Commissioners, who are in charge of five departments, A, B, C, D, and E. Department A is the Operations Department; Department B is the Crime and Security Department; Department C is the Personnel and Training Department; Department D is the Supervision Department; Department E is special, responsible for finance, administration, and planning, and its director is a civilian of the same rank as the Senior Assistant Commissioner.

Generally speaking, all frontline police officers in the police force are under the jurisdiction of two departments, A and B. The latter three departments are in charge of the procurement of equipment, officer training, promotion, talent selection, discipline supervision, financial power, etc., and have great power.

According to the most popular classification, the first two are mostly military officers, and the last three are mostly civil officials. Since ancient times, the struggle between the two major factions has never stopped.

Of course, this is not absolute. The vast majority of senior police officers have served in multiple departments.

Strictly speaking, apart from the first and second brothers (Deputy Director Zeng Xiangrong), Song Shijie and his colleagues' most immediate superior in the entire CIB should be the Director of the Criminal and Security Department, Guo Zhanliang.

The operation was commanded by Deputy Director (Operations) Zeng Xiangrong. Rumor has it that this was because Wang Zhenyang, who came from an action-oriented background, was not 100% satisfied with the entire process of the "unprecedented" live broadcast of the operation to hunt down criminals that was "grabbed" by another deputy director, Huang Chaojian.

According to Zeng Xiangrong's guidance at the high-level meeting, the PTU (PTU) under Departments A and B, EU (Emergency Unit), five mainland regional crime squads (Hong Kong Island, East Kowloon, West Kowloon, New Territories South, New Territories North), Marine Police, NB (Narcotics Bureau), O (Organized and Triad Bureau), CIB (Criminal Intelligence Bureau), CCB (Commercial Crime Bureau), and other departments were all mobilized to launch a one-month operation called Wind and Thunder to crack down on all criminal activities of all sizes in Hong Kong.

For a time, all the big and small gangs in Hong Kong, drug dealers, robbery and kidnapping gangs, roving criminals, killers, human traffickers and other groups were in a panic, fearing that they would get into trouble.

According to the rules of the underworld, the first fire that every new boss starts after taking office must be done in a decent and brilliant manner.

If you don't give the police force respect, the police force will give you respect.

……

As the captain of one of the informant recruitment teams under CIB Group A, Song Shijie is naturally very busy.

After all, as one of the three ace departments of the police force in charge of intelligence, whenever the police force has any major operation, all other operational departments will instantly become beggars and ask CIB for cooperation to obtain the latest intelligence on a certain boss or a certain gang.

Don't assume that if you ask CIB for intelligence support in accordance with the police force's work rules, CIB will immediately and unconditionally cooperate, after all, the force has limited manpower.

For example: Group A has several teams responsible for monitoring, with a total number of less than 50 people. Even if each team member works more than 12 hours a day and their ears are almost deaf, it is impossible to meet the requirements of every department of the entire Fenglei Operation.

The paparazzi are not so bad, but the paparazzi in Group D who are responsible for tracking are even worse off. After all, the others who monitor are sitting in the air-conditioned office, while the paparazzi are exposed to the sun and rain every day. For each suspect, a team of 6-8 people is needed to cross-track a target, and they often get nothing.

In short, there are so many people in CIB. You are NB and say that this suspect is suspected of transnational drug trafficking and is very important. On the other side, Organized Crime and Triads asks them to help me monitor two gang leaders and their top men, and they strongly suspect that they are preparing to fight for a certain territory. Another serious criminal case comes and asks for help to find a certain robbery gang, saying that they suspect that they have purchased a batch of heavy firepower to prepare for a big meal. As for the Marine Police, forget it, the Marine Police will hide on their own...

Good fellow, since everyone says that the case they are handling is the most urgent, then let's line up according to the rules.

At times like this, connections become the most important. I know you well, so I'll do it for you first. It's all for official business. As long as you don't abuse your power for personal gain, no one can say anything. After all, you helped me this time, so next time you ask me for help, I can't refuse, right?

Handling cases is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

……

On this day, Song Shijie had just finished collecting intelligence on an important member of a certain social organization that had requested help from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, and had just sat down at a tea restaurant.

Before his iced lemon tea was served, he received a phone call.

Caller: Liang Xiaorou, a trainee inspector who graduated from the same class as Song Shijie in the police academy. (From the "Forensic Heroes" series, Liang was a senior inspector in the original work, and this article has been slightly modified)

The two are classmates and don't contact each other often.

"Jet, where are you now? Are you free? I need your help with something."

Liang Xiaorou's name contains the word "rou" (soft), but in reality she is a policewoman who acts decisively and efficiently. When she called, she didn't even exchange basic greetings and went straight to the point.

Song Shijie has received similar calls countless times during this period. He guessed that Liang Xiaorou was looking for him about the case, so he directly reported the location:

"Xiao Rou, I'm at XX Tea Restaurant in Yau Ma Tei."

"We'll be there in ten minutes."

……

9 minutes and 30 seconds later, Liang Xiaorou, wearing a ponytail and a windbreaker, arrived at the tea restaurant on time.

"I'm sorry, Jet. It's been so long since I graduated from the Inspectorate, and this is the first time I've come to you to ask for your help."

Liang Xiaorou sat down and expressed her apologies first.

"It's okay. Everyone is busy these days. Let's order first. What would you like to drink?"

Liang Xiaorou ordered a cup of coffee casually, and couldn't wait to tell Song Shijie the reason why she was so eager to ask for help.

It turned out that after graduating from the inspectorate class, she went through a three-month internship at the PTU and was assigned to a team in the West Kowloon Serious Crime Unit. She is currently still a trainee inspector.

The reason why Song Shijie was found this time was that a family massacre case she was responsible for had fallen into trouble.

A few days ago, a family massacre occurred in a villa, leaving three dead and one seriously injured. After a joint investigation by Liang Xiaorou's team, the forensic doctor, and the Forensic Department, the murderer was basically identified as Tan Weisheng, the only survivor at the crime scene.

The police suspected that he owed a huge debt due to poor management of his company, and killed his father Tan De, who was in the jewelry business, his mother Pan Huifang, and his sister Tan Liling in order to steal the diamonds in the family safe. He was simply insane.

The only problem is that 47 diamonds suspected to be the motive for the murder were missing from the crime scene.

Without the most important physical evidence in the entire murder case, the chain of evidence of the entire murder case is incomplete, and it is impossible to convict Tan Weisheng.

It is simply wishful thinking to expect Tan Weisheng to have a change of heart and admit his crime. After all, three lives have been lost and he will definitely be sentenced to life imprisonment.
