Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1187 Using Tactics!

Even asking Li Wenbin for help would leave people with the impression of incompetence. This isn't a children's fight where you go to your parents when you can't win.

If this gets out, Liu Jianming's reputation will be damaged.

So Kwong Chi-lap looked very confident and glanced at Lau Kin-ming with a contemptuous look. "You little punk, you still want to rise to the top? This time I'll make sure you lose all your prestige."

Once you reach the top ranks of the police force, it's a one-person-one-position system. Promotions aren't something you can just decide to do; it depends on whether the person above you retires. If they don't, it's very difficult for those below you to get a chance.

Therefore, the competitive pressure is extremely high!

Liu Jianming observed Kwong Chi-lap's expression, then took out his phone and, right in front of him, dialed Lee Man-bun's number: "Lee Sir, this is Liu Jianming. Kwong Sir isn't cooperating... um... um..."

Kwong Chi-lap looked at Lau Kin-ming with disbelief. Did this guy have no shame? He called to complain right away?

Before he could react, Lau Kin-ming handed him the phone: "Inspector Lee wants to speak with you!"

Kwong Chi-lap really didn't want to answer, but he knew he had no choice. He could only grit his teeth and take the call. He had just called out "Li Sir" when he heard a cold voice coming from the receiver.

"Kwong Chi-lap, didn't I make myself clear to you just now?"

Kwong Chi-lap hurriedly tried to explain, "Inspector Lee, I..."

"Shut up. Hand him over to Liu Jianming immediately. He will be in charge of the interrogation. If he has any further requests, you must cooperate fully. This is an order, understand?" Li Wenbin's voice, suppressing his anger, came through the microphone.

He was furious. Originally, Watson wanted to hand over the interrogation to Chen Yongren, but he found Watson and pleaded with him in every way before Liu Jianming was allowed to take charge of the interrogation.

Because both Kwong Chi-lap and Lau Kin-ming belong to their respective factions within the police force.

If Lau Kin-ming were in charge of the interrogation, the discussions and the emotions of the Serious Crimes Unit members would be much more bearable.

Hua Sheng agreed because he took this into consideration. Of course, the most important thing was that he trusted Liu Jianming. If Li Wenbin had been replaced by someone else in charge of the interrogation, Hua Sheng would definitely not have agreed.

Li Wenbin was extremely grateful to Hua Sheng for letting Liu Jianming take charge of the interrogation, because he himself would never have done so. The reason he pleaded for Liu Jianming to take charge was because Kuang Zhili's outburst made him feel guilty and he felt that he had let down the brothers who had gone through thick and thin with him.

However, to his utter surprise, Kwong Chi-lap was extremely dissatisfied with Lau Kin-ming being in charge of the interrogation and was extremely uncooperative. Although Lau Kin-ming did not say it, he could tell from Lau Kin-ming's tone.

The fact that a normally amiable person could express anger is enough to show how much trouble Kwong Chi-lap had made things difficult for the other party.

Upon hearing Li Wenbin's reprimand and orders, Kuang Zhili gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, Sir!"

Regardless, Li Wenbin is his superior, and he has already given an order. So even if he is dissatisfied or unwilling to do it, he must complete the task!

Hearing the busy tone on the receiver, he picked up the phone, handed it to Liu Jianming, and then left the interrogation room without saying a word.

The members of the Major Crimes Unit in charge of the interrogation were also dumbfounded by the situation, but Liu Jianming didn't care. Instead, he walked over and said, "Let's make the handover. We need to take the person to the Criminal Intelligence Division for interrogation."

Without Kwong Chi-lap leading the way, the remaining henchmen dared not resist, and the handover was completed smoothly.

Back in his office, Kwong Chi-lap felt uneasy and regretful.

"If I had known it would turn out this way, I should have silenced them all. A moment of poor judgment led to this situation. What should we do now?"

"However, since the problem isn't serious, I doubt he'd dare to say anything. His whole family is under our control, and if he opens his mouth, his whole family will die. Plus, they've given him so much gold. With both of these measures, he'll definitely not talk. After all, Liu Jianming and the others don't have any evidence. At most, they only have suspicions."

"Hmm, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

As he thought about it, Kwong Chi-lap's expression relaxed.

On the other side, after bringing the person to the Criminal Intelligence Department, Liu Jianming did not immediately conduct an interrogation. Instead, he returned to his office and contacted Hua Sheng.

“Wah Sir, I just took the guards from Kwong Chi-lap and brought them to the Criminal Intelligence Bureau. I’m about to conduct the interrogation. Also…” He hesitated at this point.

Watson smiled faintly: "After knowing each other for so many years, don't you know my personality? Just say what you want to say!"

Liu Jianming paused for a moment, then said, "I feel that Kuang Zhili's emotions are a bit off. Although it's similar to his usual self, it feels like he's trying too hard today, as if he's trying to hide something..."

He stopped talking at this point, because Kwong Chi-lap was the chief superintendent of the police force and the commander of the serious crimes unit. He was one of the highest-ranking officers in the police force and could not be casually made up.

Watson fell silent for a moment before speaking, "I understand what you mean. Use your methods against him. I'll have Ah Ren cooperate with you. Just tell Ah Ren if you need anything. Be careful to keep it a secret. I'll keep an eye on things. Don't worry, the sky won't fall!"

Lau Kin-ming let out a deep breath. Using tactics against a powerful chief superintendent in the police force was no small matter, but he also understood that he had Watson behind him, so he just needed to go ahead and do it.

"Yes, Sir!"

After hanging up the phone, Lau Kin-ming immediately found Chan Wing-yan. The two discussed for a while in the office, deciding on the methods to use against Kwong Chi-lap. They also kept the matter confidential and did not allow it to be leaked.

The so-called methods are tracking and wiretapping. These methods cannot be used casually, especially against colleagues in the police force. Only two people in the entire police force have the authority to use such methods against a chief superintendent.

One was Deputy Commissioner of Operations, Wah Sang, and the other was Commissioner of Police, Wong Ping Yiu.

Even Zeng Xiangrong, the deputy director of management, did not have such authority, because he was in charge of the management department, not the action department.

The management department does not have the authority to use these things and methods.

The two deputy commissioners are at the same level, but in fact, everyone in the police force generally considers the deputy commissioner of operations to be above the deputy commissioner of management.

At this time, Kwong Chi-lap was unaware of all this, because he did not think that he would be followed and monitored by the police. In fact, he was quite satisfied with his performance today.
