The Chief Detective Inspector is dead. I'm now the top police officer in Hong Kong!

Chapter 102 The Drug Case, A Cunning Scheme (34)

Ah Du opened the red envelope, pulled out a ten-dollar Hong Kong dollar note, and muttered, "Stingy guy, less than half of what Brother Sheng gave me."

Lin Tiansheng sat down, tossed the red envelopes into the drawer, and said with a smile, "Inspector Huang gave out red envelopes to more than twenty people, while I gave them to four of you. It's the same, isn't it?"

"For auspicious occasions, it doesn't matter how much money is involved, it's all about good luck."

Chen Anquan clicked his tongue: "Damn, he's so arrogant. If it weren't for saving face for the big boss, he wouldn't even bother to accept it."

Hou Canxing walked into the office with a displeased expression: "Officer Huang, Ah Sheng is so disrespectful. It's the start of the workday, and he didn't even call me 'Boss'."

Huang Ye pulled down the blinds, his tone displeased: "His boss is a superintendent, how come I'm just a senior assistant?"

Now that Qiao Jingxing's promotion has been officially announced, he is a superintendent in the Criminal Investigation Department, one of the few Chinese members of the Constitutional Court, now on par with Li Junxia, ​​the leader of the elite faction.

Hou Canxing frowned and asked, "If the Mong Kok Organized Crime and Triad Bureau is replaced by their own people, are you just going to sit idly by and watch them take over?"

From top to bottom, all the police officers in the elite faction had already felt the threat posed by the remnants of the gang. While the remnants were buying their way into positions and making personnel changes, the elite faction was also taking advantage of the holidays to hold constant discussions and prepare to curb the arrogance of the corrupt police.

"Hmph, this old salted fish still wants to turn things around? No way. Call Ah Sheng in, I need to talk to him." Huang Ye sat down in a chair and pulled out a document.

Who revitalized the remnants of the regime, and who stepped forward to assume the new role? The elite police officers knew perfectly well. But with figures like Qiao Jingxing and Pi Zhibang protecting them, even the high-ranking Chinese elites couldn't easily get involved on the front lines.

But when Lin Tiansheng was transferred to the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, it was with the intention of making Huang Ye work for him.

“OK, I’ll go get him.” Hou Canxing’s expression brightened considerably. He walked out of the office and came to Lin Tiansheng’s desk, speaking in a distant tone: “Lin sir, the boss wants you to come over.”

Lin Tiansheng nodded, and under the watchful eyes of the two O-Division officers, he raised his hand to knock on the door. After waiting a moment and receiving permission, he entered the office, closed the door, stood at attention, and said, "Wong Sir, you're looking for me?"

Huang Ye stood up with the documents in his hand, walked up to Lin Tiansheng with a big smile, and handed him a document: "Asheng, there's a tricky case that I'd like you to handle."

Lin Tiansheng accepted the documents, tucked them under his arm, and without making any excuses, agreed: "No problem, do as Inspector Huang in charge."

Huang Ye became much more amiable, put his arm around his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "You were transferred from the Major Crimes Unit, and you're not familiar with your colleagues. No matter how outstanding you are, they'll all be afraid of you. If this matter is handled well, everyone will be credited, and the brothers will definitely be convinced. I'll speak up for you. Whether I get promoted this year depends entirely on you."

Lin Tiansheng cursed the smiling tiger inwardly, but remained calm and stood at attention, saying, "Yes, sir, I will do my best."

"Go for it, I fully support you." Huang Ye waved his hand and saw the guest out. Lin Tiansheng walked away, opening the document as he went. After quickly glancing at the first page, his eyes sharpened.

Chen Anquan's gaze fell on the documents, and he sensed something was wrong. He stepped forward and asked, "Boss, is there a case?"

"Wo Shing Wo veteran 'Uncle' is suspected of drug trafficking. Inspector Wong has found a lead and wants me to investigate." Lam Tin-sing handed the documents to Ah-do and asked him to make a few copies.

After receiving the documents, the men gathered around the desk, cigarettes dangling from their lips, reading them intently. Chen Anquan, quick-witted, was the first to put down the documents and exclaimed, "They've already tracked down the person in charge of the vehicles. If we investigate further, the chances are very good." Xian Shi Bao looked alarmed: "You Bo is a super elder of Wo Shing Wo, with thousands of disciples and a net worth exceeding 100 million. If they really investigate further, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand it."

A drug trafficking network is generally divided into four parts: "boats," "warehouses," "vehicles," and "transportation vehicles."

The ships are responsible for transporting goods, the warehouses for receiving and managing them, the trucks for unloading, and the foot soldiers for retail and distribution on the streets. The ships, operating at sea, are the responsibility of customs anti-smuggling operations and have nothing to do with the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB). If a ship is discovered, it's intercepted at sea by the marine police, not handled by the OCTB.

Moreover, inspecting a ship, aside from causing drug dealers financial pain, does not affect the sales network.

The "warehouse" is the most important storage facility in the drug trafficking network, often located together with the kitchen. The "cook" mixes high-concentration heroin that cannot be ingested with flour and sugar to make "Hong Kong paper." Then, the "vehicles" distribute it to various branches, where the "footmen" sell it.

In most cases, the police can only trace the feet. Finding the car is already a crucial clue, as it offers the opportunity to follow the car to the warehouse and dismantle the entire drug network.

Drug dealers aren't as docile as gangsters, obediently wearing hoods. During an investigation, even the slightest leak could lead to being silenced. Even catching the big boss could result in retaliation. Faced with drug money often amounting to hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, triads don't care about your background; their motto is ruthlessness.

A drug trafficker is often the most ruthless, vicious, and inhumane, and is ostracized. Drug enforcement is arguably the deadliest job in the police force.

Of course, if things go well, everyone at the Mong Kok Organized Crime and Triad Bureau will benefit. Henry will get promoted, Wong Yip will get promoted, and he will also be able to win the respect of all his colleagues.

Lin Tiansheng was thinking that Huang Ye immediately sent him a drug bust case because he was interested in investigating drugs, which was clearly a trap set for him.

Whether it's asking him to step on the landmines and reap the benefits from behind the scenes, reporting him to the foreigners for political persecution, or colluding with gangs to have him eliminated,
Every follow-up move is deadly.

This was by no means a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a major case specially prepared for him by the elite faction after consultation. Was it because they saw him handle the foreigners in Mong Kok, that they came specifically to give him a challenge?
Lin Tiansheng felt somewhat constrained and was quite unhappy. He slammed the document down and said loudly, "Scared? Go home and grow sweet potatoes, then you won't have to worry about the gang boss's revenge."

"I'm warning you, if I don't handle this case well, I can always go to the police academy for further studies, or at worst, I'll be reassigned to a sinecure. You three better be prepared to be sergeants for life!"

Ah Du, Lao Zhang, and Xian Shi Bao all changed their expressions. Faced with the stakes, they had no way out. Xian Shi Bao was the first to speak up: "Don't worry, Lin Sir, we'll stick with you to the end. These drug dealers who are so despicable they can't even stand up to Guan Yu, they're doomed."

Lin Tiansheng looked to the left: "Chicken Head, you go first. Call the intelligence department for support and investigate slowly."

The case was quite significant, and Huang Ye couldn't set a time limit; as long as there was progress every now and then, he could submit his report. Therefore, Lin Tiansheng planned to gather more clues before making a judgment. In fact, if he couldn't handle the case, he could indeed back out, but he would lose his position as the leader of the remnant faction.

That fake foreigner wanted to test his courage.

Then let's show it to them.

As evening fell and before finishing work, Lin Tiansheng put on his coat and was about to leave when Zhong Zhihui answered the phone: "Boss, Wenbiao has taken the bait."

"When will they start work?" Lin Tiansheng smiled, finally letting out a sigh of relief. If they could take down the Mong Kok Tiger, even if the drug bust didn't go through, they'd still have a great year-end performance to report. He didn't like following his opponent's moves; he had to fully utilize his advantages—it was a case of: he plays his game, I play mine.
