Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 620, Section 210: No Way Out

Wen Tianxin walked to the front of the cell and found that his cell next to his was occupied by Wen Tianchuan, his younger brother, who was staring straight at him.

"Wen Sheng, please come in. The two brothers living together shouldn't be lonely!"

The officer in charge of escorting the goods, in his uniform, opened the cell door and made a witty joke.

This joke is not funny at all!
Wen Tianxin had nothing to say to such a low-ranking cop. He walked into the cell, deliberately avoiding Wen Tianchuan's gaze, and waited until the O-Division cop unlocked his handcuffs and everyone had left before speaking: "Tianchuan, I'm very disappointed in you!"

Disappointed!

Wen Tianchuan was immediately enraged by his boss's words. The old man was making him admit it just to protect his boss next door. He hadn't done it, so why should he admit it?

"Boss, you make it sound so easy. You make money, but when things go wrong, you can't handle it! You drag your little brother into it!"

"He'll be going to jail!"

"The old man's getting senile, he wouldn't believe a piece of trash like you!"

"What the heck!"

"No wonder your sister-in-law looks down on you; she won't even give you a son!"

Wen Tianchuan has completely broken ties with Wen Tianxin and the Wen family, so he no longer needs to worry about their future interactions and can just say whatever he wants!

"Damn it! Tian Chuanzi, you bastard, how dare you talk so loudly to your boss and differentiate between A and B? You're a heartless bastard!"

Don't slap people in the face when you hit them, don't expose their shortcomings when you scold them!
Wen Tianchuan's words struck a nerve with his boss, and Wen Tianxin immediately couldn't sit still. He stood up, picked up a plastic water cup from the table, and threw it at his boss.

The soft plastic water cup made very little noise, but sitting opposite the two Wen brothers was a customs officer in military uniform. Seeing the two brothers start arguing, he quickly stood up, took out his baton, and knocked on the railing: "Young masters, don't cause trouble!"

"I'm just a doorman, don't make things difficult for me!"

"Lunch is almost here, calm down and stop making a scene!"

The sight of the customs officer in military uniform calmed the Wen brothers down. They both sat back on the bed, waiting for lunch to arrive.

Wen Tianchuan has an alibi, no financial transactions, and has been questioned many times in the past few days, with the same few questions repeated over and over again. The Organized Crime and Triad Bureau and Guan Lou have absolutely no interest in him now.

Since it is a joint investigation team, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) will not interrogate the witnesses who previously voluntarily exposed the crimes again, because once they are interrogated, they will be questioned, the two sides will break off relations, and the joint investigation team will not be able to continue.

Guo Guohao was only interested in the Taikoo Ferry Pier and HSBC banknote theft cases. The reason was simple: in the Wanchai Pier No. 15 case, it was Kwan Loong who first intervened. The Ordnance Factory and Kwan Loong were law enforcement agencies of equal level and both had law enforcement powers. The credit could not be stolen.

Since the credit couldn't be stolen, Guo Guohao's rank and status posed no threat to Guan Lou's colleagues.

Opportunists who are single-mindedly focused on climbing the ladder will not waste time on things that are already decided.

After lunch, Guo Guohao discussed the matter with Sa Dangdan and decided that each side would send a representative to begin interrogating Wen Tianxin.

The BBC also sent over evidence, including video footage and photos, which made Guo Guohao overjoyed and Sa Dangdan frown.

When Wen Tianxin saw the evidence, his face turned pale. The videos and photos could be used as evidence in court. Liang Youren also had a headache when he saw the evidence. He glanced at Zhuang Lu, who was sitting next to him as his assistant, and his eyes were full of reproach.

Don't drag yourself into cases that are difficult to overturn, lest it affect your track record.

"Attorney Leung, these are the testimonies from all the witnesses. If there are no issues, I will begin the interrogation!"

Lighter was a representative of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB). He flattered Barrister Leung, indicating that if there were no problems, the trial would begin.

"can!"

"I have no objection!"

Seeing the overwhelming evidence on the table, Liang Youren knew he couldn't stop the interrogation, so he might as well cooperate.

"Wen Sheng, where were you on January 18, 1979?"

"Mr. Wen Tianxin, what is your relationship with Hei Ahu?"

"This photo was taken at Taikoo Wharf, the site of the Taikoo Wharf No. 8 drug case. Why were you at Taikoo Wharf that day?"

"Mr. Wen Tianxin, do you know Zhao Dahai (Fat Monk)? Are you aware of the shooting incident at Guanlou?"

"."

The lighter mechanically asked the prepared questions, because of the Miranda rule, even suspects have the right not to answer, after all, in Hong Kong, the principle of "the suspect is innocent" applies.

Finding evidence to convict is the job of the police and officers, not the suspect's problem.

Wen Tianxin remained silent, but with each question asked, his face grew paler and paler, and large beads of sweat streamed down his face.

Wen Tianxin's changing expression made the interrogators and everyone in the observation room realize that Wen Tianxin definitely had a problem!

Guo Guohao sat in the chair, crossed his legs, and smiled smugly.

This Wen Tianxin is a playboy who couldn't withstand repeated interrogations.

Knowing what was going on, Guo Guohao looked at Bai Fengxian and Tao Huamei beside him, gesturing for them to come out with him.

Some are happy while others are sad. Guo Guohao is happy, but Sa Dangdan is so angry he wants to die. With such a weak mentality, he still wants to try to make a living through shady means. He's really going to get his mother killed!

"I'll go back first. I'll talk to the guys in the personnel department and try to get Inspector Bai over today. Shapison is about to take office, and the personnel department won't cause trouble at this time."

"Officer Bai, do you have a way to get Wen Tianxin to talk?"

Guo Guohao resolved all the problems, giving Bai Fengxian the right to investigate.

“Inspector Guo, the Wen family won’t let this go. I think someone will shut Wen Tianxin up soon.”

Bai Fengxian is an elite clerk in the Criminal Intelligence Department. Having worked there for so many years, even if she hasn't witnessed it firsthand, she has heard that the Wen family wouldn't remain inactive and would definitely send someone to step forward and resolve the situation.

The question is whether to deal with Wen Tianchuan or Wen Tianxin?

Hong Kong's Chinese tycoons all believe that having many children brings good fortune. Wen Hailiang, the head of the Wen family, has four sons. Even if two of them were to die at once, it would be a piece of cake for the Wen family.

"I'm not afraid to take action! I'm afraid of not taking action!"

"At this point, remaining unchanged in the face of all changes is the mark of a true master. Because by not moving and doing nothing, you avoid revealing weaknesses or fatal flaws." "Only a fool would make a move!"

Guo Guohao had seen a lot and was well aware of the intricacies involved.

Bai Fengxian and Tao Huamei were both intelligent people who understood immediately. They both nodded, not intending to plug the loopholes and let the Wen family continue down the wrong path.

"Officer Guo, Wen Tianxin won't admit it. It's definitely going to be a long battle. We need to be mentally prepared!"

Peach Blossom Girl glanced back at the interrogation room and said helplessly, "I was hoping to take two days off during the Lantern Festival to get some rest, but it seems like that's not going to happen now."

"No! It won't be long! Within three to five days!" Bai Fengxian and Guo Guohao said in unison.

Seeing that both seniors were so certain, Peach Blossom knew she had made a big fool of herself. She shrugged and said she had learned her lesson.

"You two stay at Guanlou. Guanlou has prepared a separate meeting room and moved a table for you to work temporarily. Focus on your work and give it your all."

"During this period, someone needs to be on duty every night; there shouldn't be any shortage of personnel."

"Everyone else, if there's nothing going on, can go home and rest, or go back to work on other cases! We should all be shot down, then we can finally have a long vacation!"

Guo Guohao complained for a moment, then looked at Tao Hua Mei and said, "I need to go back to the ordnance factory. Tao Hua Mei, come with me. I bought milk tea for everyone. Please give it to them."

Using an excuse, Guo Guohao called Tao Hua Mei away, and together they left through the gate of Guanlou.

"Bai Fengxian is a crazy woman. She doesn't know what she's doing, so you have to be careful!"

"Keep a close eye on her! You have to understand that the Wen family is quite powerful and has a lot of money. Before things settle down, we need to leave ourselves some room for maneuver. There's no need to jeopardize our future."

Guo Guohao knew perfectly well who was on his side and who was just a tool. He gave Tao Hua a few instructions, then took out his wallet, pointed out a large denomination bill, handed it to Tao Hua, and got into his car and left.

The observation room was too stuffy, and since there was nothing too important, Peach Blossom Girl wanted to get some fresh air.

After the interrogation, Huoji and the others left the interrogation room. Before leaving, they closed the video camera and blinds. This is the rule: communication between lawyers and their clients cannot be used as evidence in court.

Hong Kong law even stipulates that if law enforcement officers overhear a lawyer chatting with a client, that conversation must be removed from the existing evidence.

Many lawyers take advantage of law enforcement officers' lack of legal expertise by deliberately talking nonsense in front of the cops, thereby eliminating evidence unfavorable to their clients and turning the tables.

Having seen so many of these underhanded tactics, the Department of Justice has also introduced corresponding law enforcement regulations, requiring all law enforcement agencies to act in accordance with the regulations.

Only Wen Tianxin, Zhuang Lu, and Liang Youren remained in the interrogation room.

Since there were no bystanders, Liang Youren immediately spoke up, saying, "Mr. Wen, you are already very clear about the situation. I am your lawyer, and I cannot control the evidence in the hands of the police. This evidence, the financial transactions, is difficult to answer and could become a breakthrough. You should be prepared."

Wen Tianxin really didn't know what to say. Was it a private loan between friends?
The thought crossed his mind, and he immediately rejected it. You can be friends with gangsters, that's your freedom, but you can't make it public. Gangsters are like chamber pots; if you put a chamber pot on the table, you're being inconsiderate.

However, Wen Tianxin dared not say that he was going into business with Hei Ahu. If he did, it would confirm his status as a financier and cause him trouble.

"Wen Sheng, you don't have to answer, even in court, you don't have to answer!"

"But if we don't answer, it will shake the master's stance and make him doubt you!"

Liang Youren added a sentence to prepare Wen Tianxin mentally.

"Attorney Liang, I want to know, what are my chances of being acquitted?"

Wen Tianxin remained silent for a long time before slowly asking a question.

"The chain of evidence is too complete, with no loopholes in any aspect. Although there is no direct evidence now, there are too many witnesses. If anyone turns around and accuses you, it will be very difficult for you to leave the prison."

"Becoming a tainted witness, obtaining a letter of understanding, and pushing the issue away is the best solution."

Barrister Leung also spoke very bluntly: Kowloon Walled City still exists, and there are plenty of dead Taoists and gambling addicts everywhere. Making a pig out of pork is a trivial matter and not worth mentioning.

The agreements for tainted witnesses are all confidential. Donating a large sum of money to the arms factory will shut the foreigners up. As long as you don't hold a press conference to clarify yourself, the foreigners in the Department of Justice will definitely turn a blind eye.

Zhuang Lu liked the plan very much; it was simple and clear. He coughed to attract the attention of the other two before speaking, "Wen Sheng, I have already submitted an application to the Sanatorium & Hospital to retrieve your medical records."

“You have a serious heart condition. We can apply to Guanlou for hospitalization.”

"Mrs. Wen has already made an appointment to bring you dinner tonight, and she will also bring your medication. You have heart disease, so you must take your medication on time and avoid being too anxious or overworked."

The Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital is easy to deal with. Wen Tianxin's doctor has a close relationship with the Wen family and is willing to help them with this small favor.

If someone is innocent, the matter can be delayed, and the officers and cops can continue to harass them. But Wen Tianxin is 100% guilty, so he must be released from prison as soon as possible to gain public support.

Newspapers and paparazzi are the easiest to bribe, but also the most fickle. For a few hundred thousand yuan, you can buy a front-page headline to whitewash your image.

Wen Tianxin didn't have heart disease, but when he saw Zhuang Lu's face, he immediately realized that the conditions in the cell were really too bad, with no privacy at all. He had now developed a habit of not being able to throw up unless he was sitting on Duravit's toilet!

The luxury suites at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital are quite nice; although not as good as home, they are still a hundred times better than the cell blocks.

"Ok!"

"Is there anything else my father wants to say?"

Wen Tianxin and Zhuang Lu were unaware that Wen Hailiang, who was in charge of the Wen family mansion, was already preparing to give up on his eldest son, Wen Tianxin. Wen Tianxin was still hoping that his father would rescue him.

“Wen Sheng wants me to get you out of jail and bail you out. Although we all know that the Department of Justice, the jail, and the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau will not let you leave the jail, we still have to try.”

"Xiao Wensheng, we won't stay here with you, but I've arranged for an assistant to sit in the lobby. He'll keep an eye on things, so you don't need to worry!"

"Attorney Leung and I will go back first to prepare the bail documents. If there is a guarantee from a non-official foreign member of the Executive Council, the Department of Justice will have a better chance of approving it!"

Obtaining a guarantee from a non-official foreign member of the Executive Council was virtually impossible, but Lawyer Zhuang had no choice but to try his best to retain the Wen family as a major client.

To protect Wen Tianxin, the Wen family directly sent five million to their law firm. For this five million, Attorney Zhuang had no choice but to use all his connections to resolve the case.

Thank you so much!

"When I see my wife, I'll ask her to bring me a set of toothbrush and toiletries. I'm not used to the things here; they're all defective!"

Wen Tianxin also felt tired and wanted to go back to his cell to rest for a while.
