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

Seeing that the reporters present completely ignored the order of the press conference and rushed to ask questions, Liang Ziwei crossed her hands on her chest, leaned back in her chair, and said nothing.

Gradually, the reporters realized that Liang Ziwei on the stage and the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau police superintendent Song Shijie who was present with her did not answer any of their questions from beginning to end, so they slowly stopped.

Liang Ziwei leaned forward again and said into the microphone: "I know that the media friends here are very concerned about this case. But everyone knows the rules of the press conference. In order not to waste your time, please ask questions in an orderly manner."

Seeing how the Chief Superintendent of Public Relations shocked the famous and difficult Hong Kong media with just a simple move and a few words, Song Shijie on the side also secretly praised her aura.

The last time Song Shijie worked with Madam Liang to attend a press conference was four years ago when Wang Zhenyang was assassinated.

At that time, she was already the second-in-command of the entire public relations department. The fact that she personally attended today's press conference shows the importance the police attaches to it.

Song Shijie still remembers that two hours ago, when he and Liang Ziwei were preparing for the press conference, Deputy Director Liu Jiehui was also there to offer advice.

When it comes to this kind of "literary battle", Liu Jiehui is obviously more experienced and he gave Liang and Song a lot of ideas.

Before leaving, Liu Jiehui pulled Song Shijie aside and whispered in his ear: "Phoenix (Liang Ziwei) is a trustworthy person. If there are any difficult questions to answer at the press conference, leave them to her."

Of course Song Shijie knew that these two had talked before, so he didn't say much. He just said, "I see, thank you Sir Liu," and went out with Liang Ziwei.

……

Order was restored at the press conference, and the reporters present reluctantly began to raise their hands and ask questions in turn, with Liang Ziwei calling on their names "randomly".

Under her intentional or unintentional control of the situation, the questions asked by the first few reporters were relatively routine.

It was nothing more than asking about the details of the case handled by Song Shijie, the direct person in charge of the case, and why the case was taken over by his department, etc.

In response to the latter question, Song Shijie said that he only intervened because of orders from his superiors.

As for who this so-called "boss" is, Song Shijie said that it involves police secrets and he has no way to comment.

Overall, the press conference went quite smoothly until that issue was brought up again.

A reporter who was called by name suddenly stood up and asked, "Madam Liang, Sir Song, I heard that the 1999 case involved some high-ranking people. Did the police close the case hastily under pressure? The conclusion of the 2006 Coroner's Inquest was that there was no suspicion. Why did the police finally classify the case as a murder until today?"

What is coming will eventually come. Liang Ziwei and Song Shijie both know the question that will definitely be asked today.

Liang Ziwei looked at the reporter with sharp eyes and replied calmly: "My reporter friend, strictly speaking, you have raised two questions! It doesn't matter, I can answer them all at once: Yes, in the 1999 body discovery case, the police officers who handled the case were indeed suppressed by certain forces, and even the conclusion reached in the 2006 coroner's inquest was not true!"

Liang Ziwei's words set off the press conference for the second time!

All along, in response to similar inquiries, police spokespersons would use various official terms to cover up the issue by avoiding the main point.

I didn't expect that the Chief Superintendent of Public Relations would be so bold today and admit it in public!

Just as the reporters were about to rush to speak again, Liang Ziwei waved her hand to stop them.

At this time, Song Shijie took the microphone calmly.

"I know that the public is very concerned about whether the truth will be covered up and whether justice can be served. Here, on behalf of the police, I promise you that our Hong Kong police have a complete error correction mechanism and are never afraid of various challenges..."

"As for the suspects suspected of obstructing justice, I'm sorry that the case is still under investigation and it's not convenient to disclose specific information. But please believe that both our police and other government departments will base their investigations on facts, follow the law, and uphold an objective and fair attitude to thoroughly investigate the truth of the entire incident."

Song Shijie's words were so firm and powerful that the reporters present could not help but stand in awe.

If this sentence was spoken by someone else, they might think it was official rhetoric, but it was a different story when it was spoken by Song Shijie.

Some well-informed veterans have already figured it out: It seems that the higher-ups have decided to take action against Chen Fang and his gang!

This is a huge hot topic. Even if we can't say it explicitly, we can reveal it between the lines of the report in a Spring and Autumn style. This wave of traffic will definitely be attracted!

The most core question was responded to by the police, and the next few questions were relatively mild, and the press conference gradually came to an end.

Liang Ziwei picked up the microphone again and concluded: "Thank you all journalists for your concern and support. As Superintendent Song Shijie said just now, the police will announce the details of the other suspects as soon as possible. At the same time, I hope everyone can remain objective and fair and not believe in rumors."

After saying that, she left the scene with Song Shijie.

……

At the same time, Jane Aowei's mansion.

Another Deputy Secretary for Justice, Mr. Raymond Lai, and his senior, Mr. Kan Oswald, watched the live broadcast of the press conference in its entirety.

Li Yonglian smiled and said to Jian Aowei in a gentle tone: "Brother, investigating cases is the job of the police. You are an independent legislator and a senior barrister. There is no need for you to wade into this muddy water."

He was shocked when he learned that Mr. Kan had joined forces with several members of the Legislative Council, several retired senior judges, barristers and others to write a letter to the Department of Justice questioning the fairness of the 2006 death inquest.

Li Yonglian really couldn't think of any reason why Jian Aowei would get involved in such a troublesome matter.

It was not until today when he went to the door as a lobbyist and saw Song Shijie speaking eloquently at the press conference that he came to his senses.

Although he had never personally participated in private meetings with Cai Yuanqi's group, the Deputy Secretary for Justice had already been secretly won over.

They promised that as long as they could deal with Kan Oswald this time, they would use all their resources to fully support Lai Wing-lam in the election for the next Secretary for Justice.

When Jian Aowei heard what Li Yonglian said, he looked up at him and responded calmly: "Edward (Li Yonglian), among so many junior brothers, you are the smartest and the most promising one. I think you shouldn't get involved in this mess."

"Brother, real politics has many unspoken rules!"

Jane Aowei sneered: "If I were willing to follow these unspoken rules, believe it or not, the position of Secretary for Justice would have been mine by now!"

……

Just as the two former classmates were arguing with each other, Song Shijie, who had just walked out of the press conference hall, received a text message combining numbers and letters.

Translated, it means that Xu Tiantang, an undercover agent lurking in Changxing, urgently wants to meet with him to discuss important matters!
