Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 685 Ask Yourself First If You Are a Genius

Li Wenbin glanced at Liu Jiehui's leaving back and felt a little unhappy in his heart. For some reason, he felt a little disgusted with this man who seemed to have a smiling face.

He shook his head slightly and whispered to himself: "I think I'm overthinking."

Then he turned and walked into the director's office.

"Dad, looking at Liu Jiehui's expression just now, could he have found a clue?" Li Wenbin asked as soon as he entered the door.

Li Shutang frowned, with a hint of reproach in his tone: "I've already told you, in a place like the Police Department, you have to call me Director. Call me Dad when you get home!"

Li Wenbin shrugged indifferently: "Aren't there any outsiders here? If there were an outsider, I would definitely call him Director."

Li Shutang did not dwell on the name issue, but directly said: "Liu Jiehui did find a clue. He got an important message from Guan Youbo's female friend Shao Anna - before Guan Youbo's game, a man wearing a baseball cap and a denim jacket talked to him and told him 'I have to do the job if I pay you.'"

He paused and continued, "Now Liu Jiehui has decided to follow this clue. On the day of the competition, there were many surveillance cameras in the venue. As long as we find the man in the peaked cap, many things will be revealed."

Li Shutang did not hide Liu Jiehui's progress. Although he preferred Liu Jiehui to his son Li Wenbin, he could not show too much partiality to avoid being criticized.

After listening to this, Li Wenbin paused for a moment and said, "I just came back from Watson. He was performing surgery in the operating room when Cai Yuanqi was attacked. I have confirmed with the doctors and nurses that he has sufficient evidence of his absence."

He frowned, with a hint of worry in his tone: "So this matter should have nothing to do with him. What I am worried about now is that there are other forces behind the scenes."

Li Shutang did not respond immediately, but fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he suddenly said solemnly: "Could it be that those foreigners are behind this?"

But just as he said this, he shook his head and denied himself: "It's unlikely. After all, we will return in a few years. At this time, even if the foreigner becomes the deputy director of operations, he can't sit in the position of director. No matter which side, they will not allow this to happen. There is no point in doing this."

"But if it's not a foreigner, then who could it be?" Li Shutang muttered to himself.

A name suddenly flashed through Li Wenbin's mind: "Could it be Field? The former deputy director of operations just retired not long ago. As long as there is no new deputy director of operations, his power will be much greater, and he may even get his hands on the position of director."

Li Shutang hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be him. Field doesn't have such ambitions. Although he likes to collect money, it's just to make a fortune before leaving and then go back to his hometown to enjoy life. He doesn't want to stay here and wade into muddy waters."

The father and son were in the office, guessing every possible suspect one by one. However, after some discussion, they found that no one was a big suspect.

Li Wenbin frowned and gritted his teeth as he said, "Could it be Huang Bingyao who is behind this? After all, Watson is his trusted subordinate."

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he said excitedly: "Hey, could it be that Huang Bingyao is playing a trick? Watson and Cai Yuanqi are both injured, so the biggest spearhead is pointed at me. Cai Yuanqi may even think so."

Li Shutang looked at Li Wenbin and sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Wenbin, we are not fools, so don't make such speculations."

He paused and continued, "You may not know much about Cai Yuanqi, but I know him very well. He is a shrewd man, and he knows many politicians in the Department of Justice and the Legislative Council, and they often meet together. Such a person will not be easily deceived."

After that, Li Shutang's eyes revealed a trace of nostalgia, and then he said: "Finally, let me talk about Huang Bingyao. He doesn't have any big ambitions. A few years ago, he planned to stay in the position of Director of West Kowloon until retirement."

"But suddenly Watson appeared, and he benefited from solving many big cases, which led him to come up with further ideas. However, what can we say about Huang Bingyao? His mind is relatively simple, and he has no bad intentions. He would not use such a self-torture trick."

Li Shutang said with a hint of emotion: "Every policeman has his own gun, but Huang Bingyao has been a police officer for decades and has never fired a single shot."

"He even called his service gun the 'Gun of Kindness'. This guy was able to get promoted because of good luck and good timing."

"Before, because of the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, although there was no liquidation of middle and lower-level police officers, these people could not even think about getting promoted. It was so inexplicable that Huang Bingyao got the advantage and got promoted."

At this point, Li Shutang looked at his son Li Wenbin, and said with a hint of deep meaning: "For such a person, it is impossible for him to use the self-torture strategy. He is not capable of doing such a thing. It is possible that he sent people to attack Cai Yuanqi in a rage after seeing Watson injured."

"Everyone has their own personality. Generally speaking, everyone's actions will not violate their own personality traits."

Li Shutang's tone suddenly became serious: "I will retire at the end of this year. When the time comes, you will have to walk your own path."

Li Wenbin was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly: "Okay, Dad, I understand."

Li Shutang looked at his son with a gratified smile on his face: "Wenbin, you are actually very outstanding. You have reached your current position entirely because of your own efforts. Although I played a role, your own efforts are the key."

He paused, with a hint of encouragement in his tone: "If you want to go further, then you have to use your brain more. Every step forward from now on will be accompanied by blood and rain. There is only one position, and if you want to sit on it, you need to defeat others."

"And in the process, your opponents may use countless conspiracies and tricks. What you have to do is to see through all the conspiracies, crush all the enemies, and take the highest position step by step."

Li Shutang's tone was full of meaning: "It is never a problem to learn to run before learning to walk. Ask yourself first if you are a genius. If not, you have to take it step by step."
