Chapter 435 Taking credit
When Zhai Yuan learned that he and Liqun had posted photos of their friends with Lianying Society again last night, he didn't take it too seriously.

A gang leader died? He's dead.

It was not until I heard that the murderer's name was Gu Tianle, and that he was arrested on the spot by Ren Darong and the accompanying PTU uniformed soldiers after stabbing the other gang leader to death, with sufficient evidence, that I was stunned.

Fearing that there might be a duplicate name, Zhai Yuan specifically asked for a photo and took a closer look.

In the photo, the 18-year-old Jimmy has not yet entered the entertainment industry, and naturally has not embarked on the path of plastic surgery. Judging from his appearance alone, it is indeed ordinary, neither white nor black, but in the yellow stage.

"Tsk! What a fuss..."

Zhai Yuan threw down the photo, feeling somewhat ashamed.

In the parallel universe, although Jimmy Zai did go to jail, he was only sentenced to two years in prison for robbery. After he was released, he was still a good young man!
Now, under the butterfly effect, a murder has occurred. We can’t just sentence the person to death, right?
Shen Wei was soon called into the office.

After reading Gu Tianle's information, the current legal director of Jiuyi Entertainment said to Zhai Yuan, "Mr. Zhai, although the death penalty is still retained in the current regulations, it has not been carried out for more than 20 years, so it is useless."

After a pause, Shen Wei continued, "Besides, because his birthday is in October, strictly speaking he is not yet an adult, he is only seventeen years old. And this murder case involves a gang-like incident. According to past cases, he will most likely be sentenced to detention and await the Queen's decision."

Waiting for the Queen's decision, also known as a judgment of grace.

Judges could not sentence young murderers under the age of eighteen to death or life imprisonment, so they were detained for a long time in disguise, waiting for the Queen of England to issue a pardon.

However, the head of the police department has not pardoned any Hong Kong criminal for many years, so this crime is essentially equivalent to life imprisonment.

Without considering the situation in 97, Jimmy will be sentenced to at least years in prison this time. After the appeal, the judge will consider whether to grant him parole.

"What about manslaughter?" Zhai Yuan asked, "A group of people were in a mess and killed a friend, and he was beaten up a lot. Could it be self-defense or a crime of passion?"

Shen Wei immediately looked at his boss.

Killing in passion? You have a lot of words for this.

"If the lawyers are good enough and the jury cooperates, there is still a chance that he will be sentenced to ten to fifteen years in prison. If he behaves well, he can get two years off and be released soon. At least it is more reliable than waiting for the Queen to decide his fate."

Shen Wei finished speaking and laughed again: "But these bad guys usually can't afford a good lawyer. Even if they kill someone in self-defense, they will be sentenced to life imprisonment."

Zhai Yuan listened to Shen Wei talk about several real cases.

Basically, in Hong Kong today, as long as it involves a murder case, especially a case like Koo Tim Lok who was arrested at the scene and the evidence is so conclusive that there is no time to find a scapegoat, regardless of whether the criminal is an adult or not, he will be sentenced to a minimum of 20 years in prison. After being imprisoned, he will not be allowed parole or going out. Even if his parents or relatives pass away, he will not have any vacation. After being released from prison, he will be out of touch with society and have a criminal record, so it is difficult to find a decent job.

The saying in gangster movies, "go in for a few years as a training course, and then get a promotion right out of it," is just a rhetoric used by big guys to trick their younger brothers into working for them based on extremely rare cases.

No adult would believe this.

Last night, when Liang Le from the United English Society killed Huo Niu at Jardine's Lookout, his uncle Pan Lin was on the Natural Selection gambling boat, watching the performance of strippers in the glass box. He might not have known that he had such a disciple.

Zhai Yuan thought for a moment and said to Shen Wei, "Then hire two good lawyers to help him shorten his sentence. When he enters the warehouse, make sure the prisoners don't bully him."

Shen Wei was very familiar with this kind of thing and nodded indifferently.

He then looked at Zhai Yuan and asked curiously, "Mr. Zhai, do you know this scoundrel?"

Zhai Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "The kid is only seventeen years old. Is he really going to stay in there for more than twenty years? Can you have some sympathy?"

"Speaking of compassion, if Mr. Zhai asks the Governor for a review, he can also be pardoned, so that he can apply for parole after serving five years."

"... Crazy line!"

Zhai Yuan raised his hand and cursed, then drove Shen Wei out.

Going to Wei Yixin for such a trivial matter, whether he is willing to help or not is another matter. I don’t have such a deep friendship with Jimmy!
In short, the matter of Gu Tianle has come to an end.

If he hadn't remembered this name, Zhai Yuan wouldn't even be interested in taking another look.

On the contrary, it was Ren Darong, the head of Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, who arrested nearly a hundred gangsters from Liqun and Luen Kung Lok last night and took them to a nearby police station for fingerprinting and confession.

You will probably have to bear some internal pressure today, so you have to give the other party some reassurance.

…………

The "91 Daily News" and TVB's prime-time news broadcasts then extensively reported on Simon Yam's fight against crime.

An artistic photo of Ren Darong was taken on the front page of the newspaper by a professional photographer from a film company. He looked more upright than his usual photos in Police News.

The story has to be made up, of course.
Faced with the shouting of more than a hundred gangsters, Ren Darong remained calm and took a few of his men to confront the evil forces head-on, looking like Rambo possessed, the nemesis of evil.

It was just unexpected that Jin Liangyong's Ming Pao also publicized the story extensively and praised Ren Darong highly.

Later I found out that he actually lived in a luxury mansion on the top of Jardine's Lookout. That night I witnessed with my own eyes Simon Yam and a few men in military uniforms in a PUT assault vehicle subduing a group of gangsters. By accident, Simon Yam won praise in the public opinion field.

Tai Kwun, Central.

Deputy Director Li Junxia frowned and looked at the news headlines praising Ren Dahua on the table, with an unhappy look on his face.

He was still formulating the code name for the operation, preparing to launch a wave of anti-gang operations to gain credit, but the limelight was suddenly stolen by a police superintendent.

Doesn't he know that the pie has already been divided? Are frontline police officers always so brave? !
"Mr. Li, Mr. Ren is here."

The head of the Personnel and Training Department knocked on the door. Seeing that his boss was in a bad mood, he did not dare to offend him and spoke softly to Li Junxia.

Li Junxia took a deep breath, put away the newspaper on the table, and smiled: "Please come in, Sir Ren."

Ren Darong quickly walked into the deputy director's office and saluted to greet his superior.

"You're welcome, Sir Ren. You're now a big shot in our disciplined forces. Please take a seat."

Li Junxia said with a smile, and after Ren Darong sat down, he asked about the situation last night as usual. At this time, there was still more than a year before the retirement of Yan Liguo, the director of the foreign department, and with more than 300 days of vacation, Li Junxia was actually the powerful boss.

"I received a radio message from the command center at Yuhua Restaurant last night. I and my PTU Sergeant PC37024 quickly rushed to the scene of the crime. It was already dark at that time... All actions were carried out in accordance with the police manual. All the people involved in the case have been handed over to the nearest police station to give statements. Fighting against triads has always been the responsibility of O-Ji, sir!"

Facing Li Junxia, who was more than ten years older than him, Ren Darong was neither humble nor arrogant throughout the whole process, answering every question in a businesslike manner.

He had already made preparations in advance when he arrested the bad guys from both sides last night.

Two words: pretend.

Pretending to know nothing, you, the director, can't tell me about this matter openly. Shouldn't the Organizing Committee of the Communist Party of China step in to intervene?
"Not bad, well done."

Li Junxia was choked by Ren Darong's attitude, smiled and nodded in praise, and then said: "However, this time, such vicious incidents have occurred all over Hong Kong, including several major shootings. Several assistant directors and I agree that the cases can be handled together. Sir Ren showed his power last night, of course there is no problem, it is also to eradicate evil and maintain stability in Hong Kong... However, the whole case involves too many people. As decision-makers, we are also worried that doing so will alert the enemy and affect the subsequent deployment of operations. Sir Ren, do you understand what I mean?"

"Sir, I think it is important for the disciplined forces to catch criminals, but the prerequisite is to maintain a stable environment in Hong Kong first."

Ren Darong sat on the chair, his back straight, his eyes looking straight ahead: "If the safety of the citizens is sacrificed in exchange for the result of catching all the criminals, whether this is in line with the police manual, I have reservations for the time being."

Li Junxia was slightly stunned, caught off guard by Ren Darong's sudden change of attitude.

It seemed that overnight, this O-Ji supervisor who had been toasting to him at the table a few days ago, became like Guan Yu incarnate, and became impartial and incorruptible...

……

"Brother Rong, what did the director say?"

When Ren Darong walked out of Tai Kwun, several waiters including the waiter outside came up to him immediately and asked with nervous expressions.

"Brother Yi told me to behave well and put the overall situation first."

Ren Darong recalled what Li Junxia had just said and said with a smile, "This way, when I take the Senior Superintendent promotion exam later, he will definitely vote for me."

A few of the others nodded silently. They all came from the civil service system, so they knew exactly what was going on.

Putting the overall situation first means praising last night's events in an open and actually criticizing them, and then using the promotion exam to hit them again. Those who understand will understand.

"So I must keep working hard to live up to my elder brother's cultivation!"

Ren Darong said leisurely, then opened his mouth and looked at the boy: "I received a tip-off before that the Xinji and the Number Gang were robbing friends in Tai Po and caused several deaths. Both sides involved big guys like Lankouhua, Shenxian, Maozai, Borong and Wendee. Hey, I'm going to take people to arrest them now to get their confessions, and then arrange for the informant to testify in court. You guys take the other guys and go to the Heliqun and Luen Gongle places tonight to check the cards. Check for a week and catch all those Taoist friends, prostitutes and fans. Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and see who dares to cause trouble again!"

"...Brother Rong, didn't the director say that we should put the overall situation first?"

"Isn't this putting the overall situation first? Why should we trouble the top management to worry about something that O-Journal can handle on its own? Isn't it better to let them enjoy the air conditioning in the office?"

Ren Darong patted several of his subordinates on the shoulders with a matter-of-fact look on his face, and said, "Be careful when checking the cards. There will be reporters here. We will take some impressive photos for you. Wait for them to be on the news~"

……

Half an hour later.

Li Junxia received a call from his subordinate.

"Mr. Li, I just got wind of this."

On the other end of the phone, the voice of the Assistant Director of the Supervision Department came through the receiver: "Ren Darong has transferred more than 20 guys from O Ji to the birthday party of the Xin Ji Tong boss Wen Dee. He has brought all the attendees back to West Kowloon for questioning. The guys from his anti-triad group B are also gathering guys. It seems that there will be other big moves tonight..."

Li Junxia was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, and glanced at the seat where Ren Darong had just sat. His expression, which had just relaxed a little, gradually became gloomy again.

"Call the foreign supervisor of Organized Crime and Tribune and ask who allowed him to act on his own!"

"The foreign supervisor is on vacation overseas... In terms of procedures, Ren Darong can mobilize frontline personnel to assist in handling the case."

Li Junxia hung up the receiver and wondered what on earth was wrong with Ren Darong?

Before I could figure out what was going on, the head of the HR department knocked on the door again, with the same shocked expression on his face.

"Mr. Li, Ling Deli from the Public Relations Department has sent an internal letter, planning to publish Ren Darong's deeds in Police Magazine, Off the Beatle and Police Annual Report, and also to work with TVB to host a special interview program for him."

"What?"

Li Junxia stared at the other person in disbelief, and only lowered his eyes after confirming it again.

Chief Superintendent Ling Deli, head of the Public Relations Division, is a witch just by her name. Although her rank is lower than his, Li Junxia usually has to rely on her if he wants to appear on the cover of these newspapers and magazines.

How come Ren Darong not only stole the limelight in external newspapers, but even the witch in the internal public relations department was willing to promote him?

Several thoughts flashed through Li Junxia's mind. He first ruled out the possibility that the two had an affair, and then quickly figured out the reason:

In this situation, there is only one possibility, that is, someone intends to promote Ren Darong to a higher position, and he is very capable.

“No need to deploy again.”

Li Junxia knocked on the table, looked up at the head of the personnel department, and ordered: "Contact the director of operations immediately. I will lead the team personally. All the underworld societies that have caused trouble before, no matter if they are new, numbered, or prefixed with "和", big or small, will be swept up. Within a week, I want Hong Kong to be safe and peaceful!"

The HR manager nodded and walked out of the office quickly.

It can be seen that this soon-to-be-appointed leader intends to personally clean up Taiping’s mess.

The reason turned out to be that he was stealing the credit from a subordinate of a police superintendent in Organized Crime and Triad Bureau?

The HR manager shook his head helplessly and walked quickly through the museum to assign the transfer order. At the same time, an insignificant thought flashed through his mind:

The eldest brother personally led the team to clean up Taipingdi. No matter what, the Hong Kong gangs are going to be in big trouble this time...
