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

After many months, the West Kowloon Serious Crime Unit’s exclusive investigation class with Sir Song has started again.

Xu Wenshi, who has already taken on the role of supervisor of the Eighth Team, and team member Jiang Kaicheng once again transformed into little fangirls and listened to Song Sir's lecture.

"Boss, have a cup of milk tea first."

"Not bad, Liangbao still remembers that I like the products of this store."

Song Shijie drank the milk tea Jiang Kaicheng gave him and said seriously:

"General knowledge question. You have solved many murder cases with me. Where do you think we should start investigating this case?"

Xu Wenshi immediately answered: "Motive! Those gunmen must have been paid to do this, and the mastermind behind this must have his own purpose!"

"Well, Ashi, +1 point. Now it's Liangbao's turn. Based on the deceased's social relationships, which suspects do you think should be investigated first?"

Jiang Kaicheng had obviously done his homework and answered without hesitation: "Big D is the boss of He Liansheng, and his social relationships are very complicated. The most likely possibility is, of course, a vendetta between societies. According to the law that whoever benefits is suspected, I think Lin Huaile is the most suspicious."

Song Shijie did not comment, but turned to look at Xu Wenshi and asked, "Anything to add?"

Xu Wenshi thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Boss, I'm not very familiar with the affairs of the society, but I think that society vendettas usually involve hacking people with knives. Sending out a few gunmen is a bit exaggerated."

"Bingo!" Song Shijie snapped his fingers.

"Ashi hit the nail on the head. This is not the Beacon Country. There is an unspoken rule in the fights between societies, which is to try not to use firearms, because this will attract the attention of the police."

"Even during the 1980s and 1990s when the white-collar rule was in chaos, with all kinds of thugs robbing gold shops with AKs, the only shooting case against gang leaders I remember was the 'Tiger of Wan Chai' case, right?"

Jiang Kaicheng suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand. I remember that Atou also said when he handled Wang Bao's case before that if the other party used a gun, the nature of the case would change."

"Then according to what the boss said, Lin Huaile's suspicion can be ruled out first?"

"That's not necessarily the case. My first reaction at the scene was the same as Liang Bao's. I thought that this case was instigated by Lin Huaile. After all, Big D is dead, and he is the most direct beneficiary. No matter what, he cannot be completely ruled out as a suspect."

Jiang Kaicheng was almost dizzy from being led around by Song Shijie and looked confused.

Song Shijie touched her head and said with a smile: "You need to use your brain more. For us police officers, intuition is important, but the final decision must rely on evidence."

"Okay, let's continue with the questions. Multiple choice question: Speaking of evidence, which piece of evidence left at the scene do you think can help us identify the murderer as soon as possible?"

"A, autopsy results; B, ballistic analysis; C, eyewitness testimony; D, surveillance video from the road or nearby stores."

Both of them fell into deep thought. A should be ruled out first, after all, everyone knew that Big D was shot to death; C was of course very important, but the gunmen had been hiding in the car, and even if passers-by had observed the car, they might not be able to provide useful clues.

The remaining B and D are a bit difficult to choose. It would be best if the surveillance video could capture the situation inside the car, but it would take time to check, and the boss said it should be done as soon as possible...

Finally, the two seemed to be in sync and answered in unison: "I choose B."

"Clap clap clap!"

Song Shijie applauded and gave them a thumbs up.

"Before I came back to record my statement, I asked Gao Yanbo to find his good brother Chen Xiaosheng to expedite the matter. He is the most senior person in the ordnance identification department and is best at this kind of analysis."

Xu Wenshi asked Song Shijie with admiration: "As expected of a leader, you are so thoughtful. So what can we do now except wait for the results?"

Song Shijie spread his hands helplessly and said, "What else can we do? We don't even have portraits of those people now, so there is no way to issue a wanted order. We can only apply to the higher-ups for a full-scale manhunt, and then mobilize all the brothers in West Kowloon to go out and collect the information as soon as possible."

……

Song Shijie said it easily, but the police's action caused the entire West Kowloon community to suffer.

Just as he had said to his two former subordinates before, when guns are used in gang vendettas, the nature of the matter is completely different.

What's more, the person who died was Big D, who was currently participating in the election for the leader of the old-established society and Liansheng?

Needless to say, He Liansheng, from uncles like Deng Bo to the newly rising third-generation leader Dongguanzai, Jimmy and others, all the members with names and surnames were taken back for questioning in turn, and the important suspect Lin Huaile was detained for a whole day.

Unfortunately, the police did not have any evidence to prove that he was related to the case, so they had to release him.

It is obvious that this matter is no longer something that can be handled by the West Kowloon Serious Crime Unit alone.

Commander of West Kowloon, Kwong Chi-lap, has personally met with all the community leaders in West Kowloon and expressed "cordially comforting" them. The two sides "exchanged views" in a "harmonious and friendly" atmosphere.

In simple terms, Kuang Zhili issued a death order: whoever did it should hand it over; if anyone has specific information about the gunmen, notify the police immediately!

If the police find out later that any society dared to harbor the murderer or failed to report the crime, your society can be directly expelled.

In order to prove what he said was true, the next day Kwong Chi-lap had the entire West Kowloon Division join forces with the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau headquarters to conduct a comprehensive sweep of all venues in West Kowloon!

The meaning is very clear. If you don't find the person, you guys won't be able to do business anymore.

The gangsters in the entire West Kowloon area are clearly aware that the police are coming with great force and are serious this time!

In a rare move, various societies jointly issued a secret offer - whoever can successfully identify these gunmen will receive a huge reward of HK$100 to 300 million!

After all, compared to the huge losses caused by the police raids every day, the mere tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in bounty paid by each society is simply a drop in the bucket.

Not only that, even the most well-informed informants in the underworld could not escape the police's control.

The Sirs dragged them all to the back alleys for "friendly exchanges". Some of the unlucky ones were even "exchanged" three or four times in one day! The result was naturally that they were beaten black and blue, and it was a horrible sight.

……

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward.

On the third day after the incident, a gangster contacted Song Shijie through Liang Xiaotang.

……

Sai Wan Pier, a sea fishing club.

Song Shijie looked at the dark-skinned, blond-haired gangster and asked Liang Xiaotang, "He said he had news about that gang?"

"Well, his name is Peter, and he sells pirated CDs. I dealt with him before when I was in Jinxing. He knew I knew you, so he asked me to pass on a message."

As he said that, Liang Xiaotang patted Peter's head and said, "Be alert! If you want to spread false information to deceive Song Sir, you know the consequences."

Peter nodded his head like a drum and said, "How dare I lie to you, Brother Laughing and Sir Song? The news is true, but it's the money..."

He gave a lewd smile and rubbed his fingers.

Song Shijie nodded and said, "Don't worry, as long as the news is true, I won't treat you unfairly."

He specifically said "I" will not treat you unfairly, not the police force, and I believe Peter will understand what he meant.

Hearing this, Peter's eyes lit up. He looked around and made sure no one was paying attention to them before he whispered, "I have a cousin who is with the Yau Tsim District Dinosaurs. He told me a few days ago that he saw his boss talking to a few "overseas dragons" in a remote place..."
