Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Late at night, at the gathering place of the Detective Gang.

No one would have imagined that the detective gang that caused such a stir in Hong Kong was just a group of young kids and girls.

These people hid in Zhang Lin's rented room, plotting how to proceed with their next case.

Although these kids and girls are quite flamboyant, they are young people after all, and they are very good at using the internet, webcams, and other such things. Plus, with someone tipping them off, it's very difficult to catch them.

After escaping the police several times, he became somewhat complacent.

"These police officers are complete incompetent! No wonder my dad was wrongfully killed!"

"That's right, they haven't even gotten a hair on our head after all this time. The Hong Kong Police Force has no future!"

"Alright, enough talk! Come on, let's get to the case!"

Just as these people were drinking ice-cold beer and eating late-night snacks, a smoking can suddenly flew in through the window, shattering the glass and landing on the ground.

Within moments, thick smoke filled the room.

Then several more cans were thrown in, making it difficult for everyone in the room to breathe.

Even more terrifying, the smoke seemed to contain some hypnotic gas, and the people were knocked unconscious in less than a minute.

Then, several people wearing gas masks pried open Zhang Lin's door, found Zhang Lin, and took her out of the room.

As for the others, Chen Jiajun's intelligence personnel couldn't be bothered with them.

After opening the window to let the smoke out, I left immediately.

……

When Zhang Lin opened her eyes again, she found herself in a bright office.

The office was still filled with the pleasant scent of sandalwood.

Just by looking at the office's decor, you can tell that the owner is either very rich or very powerful.

Its understated elegance exudes a sense of luxury.

However, Zhang Lin was not concerned about that; instead, she checked her body.

They discovered that she was not only not being controlled, but also had no injuries whatsoever.

Clearly, it wasn't the police who were targeting them, but rather a third-party force.

This immediately made Zhang Lin a little flustered, after all, he was only the nominal leader of the Detective Gang.

Ultimately, she simply lacks leadership qualities and is unable to remain calm in situations like this.

Just as Zhang Lin was running out, a very beautiful foreign woman walked in.

Seeing that Zhang Lin was awake, he didn't seem surprised. Instead, he placed his coffee on the table and said casually, "Awake? Have something to drink first!"

"Who are you?" Although Zhang Lin wasn't very bright, she had learned some useful things during this time.

For example, combat sports!

So Zhang Lin suddenly decided to control the foreign woman in front of her and then figure out a way to escape.

But the next moment, Zhang Lin realized that she was wrong, and very wrong.

This woman, dressed like a secretary, managed to subdue Zhang Lin with just one hand.

He calmly tidied his appearance and said casually, "I advise you to stay here obediently, or you'll suffer."

That's right, this female secretary is Chen Jiajun's private secretary, Ilsa.

As a seasoned English agent, dealing with a little girl is a piece of cake.

After pushing Zhang Lin into a chair, Ilsa said coldly, "I spent a lot of time making this coffee, so you'd better finish it. Don't force me to drink it!"

Feeling the murderous aura emanating from Ilsa, how could a young girl like Zhang Lin withstand it?

Despite the fact that their detective gang had killed several people, they were no match for a tough woman like Ilsa who lived on the edge of a knife. They were immediately intimidated.

After leaving the coffee, Ilsa turned and left the office.

Zhang Lin, perhaps frightened or thinking she couldn't escape, obediently sat in the chair and waited.

I don't know how much time passed, but the office door was opened again.

Chen Jiajun led the old evil man in.

“You…” Zhang Lin’s mouth dropped open, staring at Chen Jiajun in disbelief.

She recognized Chen Jiajun at a glance, but she didn't expect that it was Chen Jiajun who had arrested her.

Chen Jiajun smiled faintly and said, "Why are you so surprised to see me?"

"I don't understand..." Zhang Lin was a little confused. She really didn't understand why Chen Jiajun had found her. Was it because of the Detective Gang?

Chen Jiajun said directly, "I came to see you because of the Detective Gang!"

Zhang Lin immediately became agitated: "What's wrong with our detective gang? We investigate wrongful convictions and cold cases to bring justice to the victims. You damned capitalists..."

Zhang Lin cursed and swore for a while, but then realized that Chen Jiajun didn't seem to be angry.

A faint smile remained on his face, and his eyes... were as if he were looking at a child who didn't know any better.

"Finished venting?" Chen Jiajun chuckled and said, "Do you think what you did was very righteous? Do you think your dad is the most amazing detective in the world?"

"How...how did you know?" Zhang Lin stammered.

Chen Jiajun shook his head: "Your dad is indeed amazing. Although he's a bit crazy now, he's definitely a master detective when it comes to solving cases! It's just that you, the daughter of this master detective, are kind of adorably silly!"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Lin said fiercely.

When talking about her father, Zhang Lin seemed like a completely different person. She didn't care about Chen Jiajun's identity at all, and acted like a little girl protecting her father.

Chen Jiajun said calmly, "Didn't you realize that the mastermind behind you forming the Detective Gang clearly had better ways to handle these wrongful convictions and more suitable ways to clear your father's name? Yet he insisted on using the most extreme methods to make you take revenge. This is not the mindset of a normal police officer."

"How do you know he's a cop... Are you bluffing me?" Zhang Lin reacted quickly, looking at Chen Jiajun with a wary expression.

Chen Jiajun shook his head helplessly: "I've managed to bring you all the way here, how could I not know that you've been supported by someone behind you all along? Otherwise, did you just make up those case codes out of thin air?"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's explanation, Zhang Lin immediately felt embarrassed.

If what Chen Jiajun said is true, then there is indeed no need to bluff oneself.

Chen Jiajun continued, "Think about it carefully. A policeman can do so many things, why would he create a detective gang? Is it really just for justice?"

“But the police will suppress this information!” Zhang Lin quickly remembered what the person behind the scenes had said and retorted to Chen Jiajun.

"What about the media?" Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "You don't know how to use the power of the media and public opinion, do you? Then the police won't be able to cover it up! Aren't you doing a good job? Using the power of public opinion to put pressure on the Hong Kong police force."

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Zhang Lin opened her mouth but could no longer utter a word.

Looking back on what they've been doing, there are indeed many suspicious points.

It was as if they were pawns being controlled and manipulated at will.

Chen Jiajun continued, "If you really want to clear your father's name, then expose the mastermind behind this. It will benefit both you and your father!"

"But, but..." Zhang Lin panicked and was at a loss.

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "No one will question the righteousness of your actions, but if you're wrong, you have to admit it, and if you admit it, you have to correct it. If you don't admit it and refuse to correct it, do you dare say that what you're doing is righteous?"

As if all her strength had been drained, Zhang Lin slumped into a chair and slowly uttered a name: "Fang Lixin."

Chen Jiajun frowned, then burst into laughter: "So that's why you people can appear and disappear so mysteriously! It turns out the police officers investigating you were the ones with problems!"

Zhang Lin nodded: "Fang Lixin is manipulating all of this. He says he wants to clear my father's name!"

"Heh, I'm afraid he just wants to make a name for himself!" Chen Jiajun said with a sneer.

Having obtained the name he wanted, Chen Jiajun did not make things difficult for Zhang Lin.

After having someone take her to rest, he had the intelligence department investigate the faction to which Fang Lixin belonged.

As expected, this guy and his boss Huang Xin both belonged to the administration department, and the deputy director of the administration department was Cai Yuanqi's man.

Chen Jiajun summoned his intelligence department and asked, "How's it going? Have you collected the other evidence?" The intelligence department nodded. "Almost. We've basically got the materials on Cai Yuanqi accepting bribes and colluding with foreign forces."

Chen Jiajun nodded: "Then let's just take action! Let them know what it means to overcome skill with brute force!"

Taking down Cai Yuanqi would certainly be difficult using conventional methods.

An in-depth investigation would probably take several years to complete.

By then, this guy will probably have accumulated enough resources and then run away.

At that point, there was no point in pursuing those matters against him.

Therefore, Chen Jiajun plans to use brute force to overcome skill.

He didn't need to care how difficult Cai Yuanqi was; he just needed to present Cai Yuanqi's criminal evidence to the media, one by one.

At that time, Chen Jiajun wouldn't need to conduct a detailed investigation at all; the Security Bureau would take over naturally and be able to ensure that Cai Yuanqi would die without a burial place.

……

At this time, at the headquarters of Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB).

Li Jun, who had been following the police investigation, was taken back to the police station.

Fang Lixin personally conducted the interrogation.

Fang Lixin directly framed Li Jun and Zhang Lin for all the evidence in the detective case, preparing to achieve his final goal.

Just as he was passionately interrogating Li Jun, the office door was suddenly opened.

A group of men in suits walked in.

Superintendent Wong Yan of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau frowned and asked, "Who are you? We are investigating a case. Please leave!"

"Excuse me, Superintendent Huang!" The lead officer flashed his badge: "Internal Affairs Investigation Division."

"Internal Affairs Investigation Department?" Huang Xin asked, puzzled. "What are you doing here?"

The internal affairs officer pointed to Fang Lixin in the interrogation room and said, "We would like to ask Senior Inspector Fang Lixin to return and assist with the investigation!"

"What do you mean? Ashin is investigating a very important case!" Huang Xin said immediately, clearly annoyed.

“We know about the Detective Gang case!” the Internal Affairs Investigation Department officer said coldly. “Just now, Zhang Lin, the leader of the Detective Gang, surrendered herself to our police. Moreover, according to her confession, the mastermind behind the Detective Gang is Senior Inspector Fang Lixin!”

Upon hearing the Internal Affairs Investigation Department personnel utter those words, the entire Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) erupted in uproar.

Fang Lixin was also stunned on the spot.

He didn't know which link in the chain went wrong. He could have brought down these cases at the crucial moment when Li Jun and Zhang Lin were caught, but Zhang Lin actually turned himself in!

The Internal Affairs Investigation Department ignored Huang Xin and instead showed their identification to Fang Lixin, saying, "Senior Inspector Fang Lixin, come with us!"

"Impossible, impossible!" Huang Xin stood in front of Fang Lixin. "There must be some misunderstanding!"

The Internal Affairs Investigation Bureau officer said helplessly, "Superintendent Wong, no matter what misunderstanding there is, Senior Inspector Fong Lai-shun must come with us for a hearing."

After saying that, they turned to Fang Lixin and said, "Senior Inspector Fang Lixin, please!"

Fang Lixin took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll go with you!"

He then followed several people from the Internal Affairs Investigation Department and walked towards the door.

But just as they were getting off the elevator, Fang Lixin suddenly attacked and knocked several people from the Internal Affairs Investigation Department unconscious.

He then picked up his sidearm and headed to the interrogation room on the first floor.

Fang Lixin has no way out now, unless he kills Zhang Lin directly.

Otherwise, he would never be able to escape responsibility for this matter.

If other cases involving him are discovered later, then things will get really complicated.

Therefore, a fierce glint appeared in Fang Lixin's eyes, and he planned to kill him to silence him.

They can be released after serving a few years in prison on the grounds that they have suffered too much trauma and have become mentally unstable.

Having previously obtained information from several internal investigation officers that Zhang Lin was currently in the interrogation room, he walked directly towards the interrogation room with his gun.

No one paid any attention to Fang Lixin along the way, since the Internal Affairs Investigation Department wouldn't go around publicizing that Fang Lixin was under investigation.

Some people even greeted Fang Lixin on the street.

Fang Lixin responded with a smile and then went directly to the interrogation room.

But when he opened the door, he didn't see Zhang Lin. Instead, he saw an unexpected person.

Senior Superintendent Lee Man-pin of the Operations Department, along with several other senior police officers.

Seeing Fang Lixin stride in with a menacing aura, Li Wenbin couldn't help but sneer: "Senior Inspector Fang Lixin, are you here to silence me?"

Fang Lixin was completely dumbfounded, unable to understand how things could have turned out this way.

He immediately drew his gun and aimed it at Li Wenbin, ready to fire.

But then he discovered that his sidearm had been switched at some point.

Li Wenbin snorted coldly: "Arrest him!"

Several police officers immediately rushed over and knocked Fang Lixin to the ground.

Li Wenbin walked over and said with a sneer, "You're the one manipulating the Detective Gang, aren't you? What are you trying to cover up by causing all this trouble? The Butcher Case, the Demon Cop Case, the Corpse Burning Case—some of these cases are probably related to you, aren't they?"

With each word Li Wenbin spoke, Fang Lixin's expression grew increasingly grim.

Finally, he struggled frantically, as if he had gone mad.

Li Wenbin said coldly, "Take Fang Lixin away. No one is allowed to contact him without my order!"

"Yes, sir!" The officer immediately subdued Fang Lixin.

Li Wenbin then addressed the other senior police officers, saying, "Gentlemen, I think the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit and the West Kowloon Organized Crime and Triad Bureau should no longer be involved in this case!"

Other high-ranking police officers saw Fang Lixin's actions clearly; he was obviously there to kill her and silence her.

If there were no problem, even a fool wouldn't believe it.

Therefore, it was only natural that this matter was handed over to Li Wenbin's Major Crimes Unit for investigation.

Although there aren't many brilliant detectives in the police force, there are quite a few experienced veteran officers.

Especially for frontline inspectors, some of them have no chance for further promotion due to issues such as their background or education, but that does not mean they lack ability.

At least among Li Wenbin's subordinates, there are quite a few people like this.

After Li Wenbin took over the case, many suspicious points began to surface.

In particular, the case of the "demon cop" from more than a decade ago was a huge scandal for the police.

After Li Wenbin reopened the investigation, it gave the West Kowloon Police Station's PTU a chance to clear its name.

After all, Huang Xin's investigation at the time determined that it was PTU personnel who shot and killed his colleague.

Now that everything has been overturned, Huang Xin, the person who spearheaded the case back then, will certainly be held accountable.

Not to mention, Fang Lixin was also Huang Xin's capable assistant.

Sometimes, police investigations happen in this way: pulling out a radish leads to uncovering a whole host of other problems.

With the case of the demon police solved, the butcher case from many years ago also came to light. Based on the limited information available, Li Wenbin ordered his men to lead a team to continue the investigation, and they quickly apprehended the culprit behind the butcher case.

The so-called "butcher" who was shot dead back then was not the perpetrator of the butcher case at all. After DNA testing and comparison, Fang Lixin's DNA was found at the scene of the butcher case.

Fang Lixin probably never imagined that more than a decade later, such technology would still exist to expose him.

Even Fang Lixin's wife, Chen Yi, was one of the victims of the butcher case more than a decade ago.

This is going to be really funny.

The entire West Kowloon Police Station was investigated; a large-scale crackdown was launched within the police force. (End of Chapter)
