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

December 2008, 12, Police Headquarters, a small conference room.

Since Song Shijie took office as the chief inspector of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, he has successively cracked down on several large-scale corruption-related gangs, such as Jinxing and Dinosaur. This is not to mention his secret arrangements. He directly controls Qiu Gangao's power, and controls He Liansheng through Jimmy, etc.

The accumulated merits, the strong recommendation from his superiors, and the good image he has always had in the hearts of the general public, allowed his police superintendent selection test to once again surpass the time limit and arrive ahead of schedule.

According to the classification of the police force, police constable, sergeant (sergeant), station sergeant (sergeant) belong to the rank of non-commissioned officer; trainee inspector, inspector, senior inspector and chief inspector belong to the level of inspector.

Going up further, starting from the superintendent of police, they belong to the constitutional commissioner level, which is already the initial management level of the police force and is qualified to participate in some decision-making.

It has always been a big hurdle to cross from the Inspector level to the Constitutional Commissioner level. Moreover, since the 21st century, academic qualifications and theoretical foundations have become more and more important. Many Inspector-level police officers who have served in the police force for many years and have outstanding achievements have not been able to cross the hurdle until retirement.

Fortunately, for Song Shijie, neither merit, character review nor academic qualifications were a problem.

In this interview with Song Shijie, all three interviewers held high police ranks.

The main interviewer was Director of the Management Department (Senior Assistant Director) Liu Jiehui, and the two deputy interviewers were West Kowloon Commander Kwong Chi-lap (Assistant Director level) and Hong Kong Island Chief Superintendent Cheng Yusen (from "Iron Detective").

(In addition, some readers pointed out that Kwong Chi-lap's position does not match that in "Cold War". The reason is that there is a bug in the setting of "Cold War". If Kwong Chi-lap, Tsui Lap-kei and others were only at the level of superintendent, they would not be qualified to participate in the recall vote involving the two deputy directors Liu/Li, because only the constitutional committee level management would be qualified, so this article has been slightly modified.)

After Song Shijie briefly introduced himself, Liu Jiehui asked him a few questions with a blank expression.

They are all relatively routine, such as "What is your opinion on the current security environment in society?", "How will your approach change after being promoted to management?", "You are so young and have taken this position, how can you ensure the obedience of your officers?", etc.

Song Shijie was neither humble nor arrogant, and answered questions fluently.

……

Two days later, Song Shijie successfully passed the police force interview, and the next step was the interview review of the Security Bureau, which was the only way to be promoted from Chief Inspector to Superintendent.

I don’t know whether it was because Song Shijie’s resume was impeccable or because the second-in-command Lu Minghua made a call, but this time there was no trouble at all and it was passed very smoothly.

……

On January 2009, 1, the Police Force announced the first updated list of a new term of constitutional commissioner-level police officers, and Song Shijie was on the list!

The superintendent, who is less than 27 years old, has once again set a new record since the police force's return.

But surprisingly, neither the general public nor the media, who usually love to make groundless accusations, felt that there was anything wrong at all.

As early as when Song Shijie participated in the Olympic torch relay in Hong Kong as the second torchbearer, some people thought that this was a clear signal sent from above.

……

On April 2009, 4, the police force underwent a major reshuffle.

Former Commissioner of Police Wong Chun-yeung retired, accompanied by former Deputy Commissioner (Management) Wong Cheuk-kin.

Zeng Xiangrong successfully became the top boss, while Li Wenbin and Liu Jiehui, two core figures of the action and management factions, were promoted from senior assistant directors to deputy directors.

The West Kowloon Region managed by Kwong Chi-lap has achieved outstanding results in the past few years and he succeeded Li Wenbin as Director of Operations.

Director of Crime and Security, Mr Kwok Chin-leung, retains his original post.

His West Kowloon commander was replaced by a female Chief Superintendent named Wan Xihua (from "Iron Detective").

The former Hong Kong Island Regional Commander, Dai Guoan, retired and Chief Superintendent Cheng Yusum took over the position.

It is worth mentioning that Han Xiaozhong, the former Director of the Personnel Department (Assistant Director level) of the Personnel and Training Division, who was still young and energetic, retired early "due to health reasons" during this major change of leadership!

The truth, of course, is that the higher-ups have finally taken action to eradicate this cancer at this critical moment of change of leadership!

The most important nail that Cai Yuanqi and his gang had buried in the police force was pulled out, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to them!

……

May 2009, 5, Organized Crime and Triad Bureau Headquarters, Superintendent of Police Office.

Superintendent Song Shijie of the Anti-Triad Investigation Division of Organized Crime and Triad Bureau is arranging tasks with the newly appointed Chief Inspector Chan Kwok-wing.

Judging from the latter's past performance in the serious crime squad, he should have been promoted to Chief Inspector long ago if Guan Zu and the others hadn't happened.

Fortunately, Song Shijie helped him, so although Chen Guorong had a high opinion of himself, he always obeyed the orders of this boss who was much younger than him.

"Ah Rong, as Chief Inspector, you must be more prudent. The society we are dealing with this time..."

At this time, Song Shijie's cell phone rang.

"Hello, Gong Sir?"

The caller was Chief Superintendent Gong Jiapui, who remained in the CIB during this major reshuffle.

"Jet, are you available to talk now?"

Gong Jiapei's voice was no longer as calm as before, and even revealed a hint of anxiety.

Song Shijie waved his hand to let Chen Guorong leave first, and then said to Gong Jiapei: "It's convenient. If you have anything to say, please tell me."

Gong Jiapei immediately replied: "We have a senior inspector from CiB who got into trouble in Siam... Forget it, let's find a place to meet and talk!"

Song Shijie could tell that something big must have happened at CIB, and it was something that was not convenient to discuss on the phone or at the police station. He immediately gave Gong Jiapei an address, and the two agreed to meet in an hour.

……

One hour later, in a private club.

Song Shijie and Gong Jiapei walked into a VIP room under the polite guidance of the waiter.

After the waiter made tea, closed the door and left, Song Shijie said to Gong Jiapei, whose face was uncertain, "Gong Sir, have a cup of tea first. It's safe here. If you have any problem, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."

Gong Jiapei was his old superior and had always been very caring towards him. Song Shijie had secretly decided that as long as he did not commit any serious mistake that crossed the red line, he would do his best to help him.

That’s right, the superintendent is so confident that he helps the chief superintendent.

As Gong Jiapei continued his narration, Song Shijie realized that he had obviously misunderstood him.

It turns out that a senior inspector named Zhuo Kai (from the "Line Walker" series) from CIB was ordered to go to Siam to track a calf dealer named "Nine Fingers Qiang".

According to Zhuo Kai's report, through the joint efforts of five undercover police officers in Siam, they have successfully figured out Jiu Zhiqiang's calf trafficking network in Siam.

Just a day ago, Zhuo Kai and the five undercover police officers held a meeting at an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Siam to discuss countermeasures.

They had just discussed an important point when Zhuo Kai left his work station and returned to Hong Kong to report the progress of the case to his superiors.

However, at this moment, a huge explosion suddenly occurred in the factory. Five undercover police officers died heroically, and only Zhuo Kai survived!

This information is still top secret and only known to a few senior members of the police force and a small number of CIB leaders.

After listening to Gong Jiapei's words, Song Shijie frowned, smoked a cigarette, thought for a moment, and then asked Gong Jiapei:

"Gong Sir, do you suspect there are corrupt police officers in CIB and want me to intervene?"

The situation is obvious. The sacrifice of five undercover police officers this time is either because there is something wrong with Zhuo Kai or someone else in CIB!

"Well, as you know, the files of undercover police officers are top secret in our CIB. Now that this problem has occurred, I can't trust anyone in the CIB except Jodie (Zhou Wangqing) and others, but she is too inexperienced..."

Obviously, in Gong Jiapei's mind, the most suitable person for the entire police force is the "black police nemesis" Song Shijie.

"Okay, Sir Gong, I got it. Give me the files of Zhuo Kai and the five undercover police officers."

Damn, I didn’t expect that Senior Superintendent Hong Peiji was caught, and there were other big borers in CIB. This made Song Shijie, who always regarded CIB as his mother’s home, couldn’t tolerate it.
