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

"Speaking of which, Mr. Song, how did you get those overseas account transfer records?"

Liao Enxian couldn't help but raise this question.

As early as 2006, ICAC participated in the coronial inquest of this case, focusing on the police officers involved in the 1999 case.

As a result, there was no definite evidence at the time to prove that they had accepted benefits.

Unexpectedly, three years later, Song Shijie actually produced a transfer record of an overseas account under the name of a police officer from 3 to 1999.

It was clearly stated that in the months after the incident, a total of HK$165 million was deposited into this account in batches.

As far as Liao Enxian knows, it is extremely difficult to obtain the transfer records of these overseas banks through normal channels.

This is also an important reason why countless illegal transactions are keen on using this method.

Song Shijie said calmly: "Sorry, this is highly confidential."

Of course, he couldn't tell anyone that he got the information by implanting a certain program into the police officer's personal computer.

It doesn't matter whether the evidence was obtained illegally or not. As long as it is a fact that they accepted bribes, they will have no choice but to deny it once they enter the ICAC. These experienced investigators have a hundred ways to make them confess.

Whether the public prosecution stage will be questioned, we will have to wait and see. Maybe by then the legal community will have completed a reshuffle.

Song Shijie's goal was to bring Fang Mansheng back in through this group of bribed policemen.

As long as this loophole is opened, Jane Austen will have an excuse to push for a second coronial inquest, or even go a step further and catch all those suspected of obstructing justice.

Liao Enxian curled his lips and brought Song Shijie to the inquiry room.

……

"Mr. Chen, it's been a long time since we last met. Do you still recognize me?"

Song Shijie greeted the police officer who looked a little depressed in the interrogation room.

Officer Chan is a senior inspector of a squad in the West Kowloon Crime Unit and was a colleague of Song Shijie for some time.

I didn't expect that when we met again a few years later, he had become a police superintendent, and the meeting place was so awkward.

Officer Chen smiled and responded: "Sir Song, I didn't expect it would be you who came here..."

Song Shijie pulled a chair and sat down next to Chief Investigator Han Bin, and continued to ask: "Mr. Chen, you said you had important clues to provide to the police and strive for meritorious service. Now that I'm here, can you tell me about it?"

Officer Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Although your position is not very high, you are indeed qualified to take over. However, I require the ICAC personnel to temporarily leave the scene and turn off the surveillance. I can only tell you about this matter."

Song Shijie and Han Bin looked at each other. Although the latter was not very willing, he still stood up without saying a word and walked out of the interrogation room.

ICAC has sufficient evidence to investigate the suspect, Officer Chen, for charges such as income not commensurate with his position and illegal bribery. Han Bin has other work to deal with, so he should just give Song Shijie some face.

Over the years, the two chief investigators, Han Bin and Lu Zhilian, have received a lot of materials submitted privately by Song Shijie, and used them to take down several bigwigs.

……

After a while, Song Shijie pointed to the surveillance camera in the interrogation room whose red light had gone out, threw a cigarette to Officer Chen, and signaled that he could start.

Officer Chen loosened his tie, took a few puffs of his cigarette, and then said to Song Shijie, "Sir Song, that case involves some big shots, who we can't afford to offend. Do you really want to get involved?"

"I know. Former Chief Secretary for Administration Chan Fong is a beast. Go on. I know what's going on."

Seeing that Song Shijie was still calm and collected, Officer Chen recalled his background, took a deep breath, and then slowly said:

"The story all started with the body discovery case in 1999... After we received the report and arrived at the scene, we quickly identified the owner of that unit, Mr. Fang, as a major suspect after investigation..."

What happened next was similar to what Song Shijie had speculated. Officer Chen, who was in charge of the case at the time, was soon under pressure from his superiors, who told them to submit the relevant materials and that was it. All subsequent investigations were terminated, and all details of the case could not be made public.

Even when Fang Mansheng was recording his statement at the West Kowloon Crime Unit, he "inadvertently" mentioned that his sister was the second-in-command of the government...

"Then according to you, since the higher-ups have already put pressure on us, why did the Fang family still spend money to bribe you, the police officers handling the case?"

Officer Chen glanced at Song Shijie and said with a bit of self-mockery, "These big shots are afraid that we will talk too much later! Only by using both soft and hard tactics can they be reassured. They also asked someone to help me get the overseas account at the time, saying that cash transactions are prone to problems. I didn't expect that it would be dug up by the ICAC now."

Song Shijie nodded. This made sense. If he didn't possess hacking technology that was beyond his time, it would have been difficult to obtain evidence of these police officers accepting bribes.

"Let's not talk about the issue of you accepting bribes. What exactly is the big secret you mentioned?"

Hearing this, Officer Chen's forehead also broke out into a layer of fine beads of sweat, as if he was in extreme fear. Although he knew very well that the surveillance equipment in this interrogation room had been turned off, he still looked around involuntarily, as if he was afraid that someone would suddenly appear next to him.

Officer Chen took a deep breath and whispered to Song Shijie, "In fact, at that time, our superiors asked us to hand over all the materials and evidence related to the case. We secretly discussed it and withheld a part of it..."

Song Shijie couldn't help but be shocked: "You actually hid it? I thought..."

When Officer Chen saw that the famous Song Shijie was also shocked by the explosive information he revealed, he suddenly felt a strange sense of pleasure.

"Haha, you never expected it, even our superiors at the time thought we were very 'sensible' in destroying those things. Who would have thought that we kept them to leave a way out for ourselves?"

Officer Chen still had an excited look on his face, and continued, "How is it? Sir Song, is this secret enough to be exchanged for meritorious service?"

"That depends on whether your evidence is still intact. Moreover, once it comes to court in the future..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Song. I've been a police officer for many years, and we know how to preserve evidence. We have kept those things in a place with absolutely stable temperature and humidity, and they are not contaminated at all. Moreover, when we go to court in the future, several of us will testify. Although we accepted bribes at the time, our conscience as police officers has allowed us to retain the last spark for overturning the case in the future!"

Looking at Officer Chen who was talking eloquently in front of him, Song Shijie admitted that he had indeed underestimated him before.

No, it should be said that even the big shots like Chen Fang, who are so high and mighty and have the power to cover the sky with one hand, would not have thought that these small police officers would dare to pretend to obey their orders but actually disobey them!

Song Shijie knocked on the table excitedly and said, "Very good, tell me where the evidence is, and I guarantee with my character that I will apply for meritorious service for you!"

I originally thought that it would take a lot of time and effort to get Fang E's life back into the water, but I didn't expect to get such an unexpected gain.

Is this what it means that the net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it?

……

Two days later, in the VIP room of a luxurious club.

Fang Mansheng is enjoying a happy family gathering with his family.

With a loud "bang", the wooden door was pushed open.

A group of police officers in suits and leather shoes with warrant cards hanging around their necks walked in quickly. The one in the lead was tall and handsome.

"Mr. Fang Mansheng, I am Superintendent Song Shijie from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau. We now suspect that you are related to a body discovery case in 1999. Please come back to the police station with us to assist in the investigation..."
