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

Chapter 62 The Gentry Must Die! (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)

Zhang Jinrong, dressed in black leather pants and a leather jacket with a fur collar, sat at his workstation with an air of old-fashionedness, holding up a wine jug and saying, "Boss, 'Old Lian's' lawyer has arrived. Please request a lawyer's visit."

The fact that the Lianying Society was able to get in touch with the Deng family shows that it has considerable influence in the underworld. So, when its leader gets into trouble, it will naturally have legal services.

Based on their strength, the triads are divided into levels, with the first tier consisting of the four major groups: Wo Hop To, Wo On Lok, Sun Kee, and Number Gang.

The second tier consists of rising stars: Wo Shing Wo, Big Circle Gang, Fuk Yee Hing, Luen Ying Society, Tung Sin Wo, Luen Kung Lok, and more than a dozen others.

The third tier includes Dong Yifu, Heshengyi, Yitonghe, etc.

The first tier consists of gangs that operate throughout Hong Kong, with territories in all three districts, and are concentrated in lucrative areas such as Yau Tsim Mong, Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, and Central.

The four major triads each had their peak period, dominating Hong Kong and once being known as the "number one in the underworld." At their peak, each had over 100,000 members.

Even today, the one with the fewest members among the four major financial institutions still has 30,000 to 40,000 members.

The second tier consists of regional gangs, mainly concentrated in a lucrative area. These gangs typically have around 10,000 to 20,000 members and are relatively established. At their peak, they could rival the four major gangs and compete to see who was more powerful.

The third tier consists of suburban gangs. At their peak, they could only squeeze into the second tier. Currently, they have all withdrawn from the lucrative areas and are operating in suburban towns.

In addition, there are more than a hundred people of varying ages living in the countryside, earning a meager living and clinging to their dreams of a life of adventure.

According to factions, there are groups with the radicals "Yi" (义), "Dong" (东), "Fu" (福), and "Tong" (同), each with different backgrounds, forming a network of communities where each group is intertwined with the others.

Because of their close relationship, Hong Kong community organizations are very exclusive.

To avoid being swallowed up by the four major companies, namely Lianyingshe, Liangongle, Tongxinhe, and Majiaozai, they formed the "Four Major Companies Alliance" and agreed to advance and retreat together.

When they were out in the business world, they would always introduce themselves as the "Big Four Companies," acting very arrogantly, and they weren't even afraid of Sun Kee and On Lok.

Lin Tiansheng raised his teacup, sipped his tea, and said gently, "Why hire a lawyer? It's a waste of money. Tell the lawyer to wait a bit. You go and negotiate with Chou Kouxiang."

“Become a witness for the prosecution, stand up and accuse Deng, and I guarantee he’ll be fine and out in six months.”

Zhang Jinrong spun the wine pot, stretched his arms, and said, "Leave it to me."

When interrogating gangsters, there's no need to be polite. It's perfectly normal to haggle before making a deal.

Lin Tiansheng thought to himself, "Identify someone from the Deng family, anyone will do. Follow the trail and we can send Deng Yuchang to Stanley."

Although the chairman of the Heung Yee Kuk in the New Territories wields considerable power, the foreign authorities also seek to weaken the Heung Yee Kuk, which has "autonomy." Once the case is thoroughly investigated, the foreign authorities will not hesitate to issue arrest warrants.

There's no need to worry about any losses for the villagers of the New Territories, because after removing Tang Yuk-cheung, a new chairman will still be elected, so the impact on the overall direction will be zero.

Counterintuitively, weakening the gentry group is a way to liberate the productivity and assets of the villagers.

It is precisely because the gentry group firmly holds onto land development rights that the Hong Kong government has been unable to develop the New Territories. No matter how evil the foreigners are, "capitalism" is still more advanced than "gentry self-governance."

It's not that foreigners are kind-hearted, nor that local gentry are heartless; it's that self-interest determines everything, and the system alienates people's hearts.

Now, the local gentry also want to get their hands on the police force and recruit the remnants of their gang.

Then he must die, and to die a worthy death is his blessing.

Ma Delong answered the police call casually, saying, "Hello?" "Central Police Reporting Centre calling. There's a missing person report. The complainant is 'Lai Chung-ying,' requesting assistance from Inspector Lam of the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit."

Ma Delong never expected to receive a case from the Central Police Station in West Kowloon, but all the caller had to do was give their badge number and name.

The reporting center doesn't mind relaying the information to the relevant police officer.

"explain."

After hearing the report, Ma Delong sensed something was wrong and wrote a report, handing it to his team leader: "Officer, is Li Zhongying your friend?"

Lin Tiansheng had just sat down in the chair, relaxing, when suddenly his heart skipped a beat. He took the form and asked, "What is it?"

As he spoke, his eyes were already on the police report, and his expression instantly turned serious. The fact that Li Zhongying's daughter and wife had both disappeared was no coincidence.

"Bang." Ma Delong had barely uttered two words when Lin Tiansheng's hand slammed onto the table, drawing the attention of many police officers. Deng Gengyun, Gao Zicong, He Li, and several others approached, their expressions tense: "Inspector Lin, what happened?"

"There's a kidnapping case involving Lianying Society." Lin Tiansheng went straight to the interrogation room without telling Gao Zicong and the others. They were all on his side, but Shengshi Building was his money bag, and he certainly couldn't openly discuss it in his office.

Lin Tiansheng cut off Deng Yuchang's source of income, and Deng Yuchang retaliated by cutting off his own source of income—that's fair. But kidnapping an entire family—that's undoubtedly a step below the limit.

Lin Tiansheng pushed open the interrogation room door, snatched the bottled water from Zhang Jinrong's hand, threw it against the wall, and coldly looked at Chou Kouxiang: "Hang him up."

Zhang Jinrong was initially surprised, but upon meeting the boss's gaze, he understood immediately and began directing He Li and the others to do their work, while Lao Ma led his men to guard the door.

The tissue was swept off Chou Kou Xiang's face. He gasped for breath and, just as he recovered from the feeling of drowning, he found that his limbs were tied with rope again. He cried out in great terror, "Boss, stop playing around, boss!"

"I'm just doing a small part; it's none of my business."

"It's none of my business."

"Whoosh." Two minutes later, Chou Kouxiang was pulled from the ground into the air, his limbs upside down, his joints strained from the weight, his face contorted in pain, pleading, "Stop playing with me, stop playing with me!"

Lin Tiansheng took a hammer, looked straight at Chou Kouxiang in front of him, and said coldly, "I have a brother who just called the police because his whole family has gone missing."

"Was it a child who went out to play, or was he kidnapped?"

Chou Kou Xiang, wearing a bulletproof vest, was so frightened that tears welled up in his eyes: "No, let me out, I'll help you find someone, I'll help you find someone."

Lin Tiansheng raised the hammer and smashed it into his chest. Even though he was wearing a bulletproof vest, Chou Kouxiang gasped and almost couldn't breathe.

With newspapers inside the bulletproof vest, it was possible to ensure no external injuries were left while still being able to carry out the execution. A skilled person could break a rib and cause the heart to stop.

In the past, there were many "sudden deaths" who were dragged out of the Wan Chai Criminal Investigation Department, and no gangster dared to stand up to them.

Lin Tiansheng pointed a hammer at Chou Kouxiang: "If you can't find him, I'll have someone come in and serve you once every ten minutes."

"Boss, give me a phone, give me a phone." Chou Kou Xiang met Lin Tiansheng's gaze. He had no right to gamble on the professional ethics of the corrupt cops; they simply didn't have any!
I really don't think Lin Tiansheng came here specifically to scare me. At this rate, I won't be able to make it through the night.

Lin Tiansheng put down the hammer, walked out of the room, and said coldly, "Give him a phone."

Deng Gengyun brought out his mobile phone and stood in front of Chou Kouxiang: "You tell me, I'll call. This is your last chance, so cherish it."
