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

Chapter 66 Man Will Conquer Nature (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)

Long before Lin Tiansheng called, Huang Qixian had already been woken up and was hurriedly getting dressed, saying anxiously, "Asheng, what's wrong? Tell me!"

Lin Tiansheng cut to the chase: "I need an arrest warrant, whether it's issued by Lian Ji or the Criminal Division. Deng Yuchang is playing with fire by gathering a crowd to cause trouble. If we don't put it out, we'll get burned."

Huang Qixian looked serious as he wiped his face with a damp towel in front of the mirror: "Alright, I'll urge Lian Ji one more time. With such an important matter at hand, no one can afford to delay."

Lin Tiansheng added, "I need to receive the documents before dawn."

Huang Qixian was suddenly stunned. After guessing what was going on, he slowly asked, "Are you confident?"

Although the police force has entered a state of emergency, it is only midnight and only on-duty officers are on duty. District assistants, superintendents, and senior officers will naturally be woken up to go to work, but the majority of frontline officers will not receive notification until the next morning to rush to the police station.

Before 8 a.m. the following day, the police force was idle and understaffed.

Lin Tiansheng's eyes were red, and he unconsciously clenched his fists: "If you're confident, you should do it; if you're not, you should still do it. Take a gamble, and man can conquer nature!"

Huang Qixian's face also looked a bit crazy. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, Young Master Sheng has guts. All the old brothers will bet with you. Wait for my call."

Tonight is a vulnerable time for the police force, and also a vulnerable time for the Tang family. Tomorrow, when the entire Hong Kong police force is on duty, and the militias of the five major surnames are all in position, all roads will be blocked. At that time, the initiative will shift to the higher-ups, and will have nothing to do with frontline officers.

Lin Tiansheng was like a fish on a chopping board, a lamb to the slaughter, with absolutely no autonomy. Only by seizing the power vacuum at night, fully exercising the power of the remnants of the party, and risking his life, could he have a chance to control his destiny and make a decisive decision.

The phrase "Man can conquer nature" kept echoing in Huang Qixian's mind.
People from the old era who want to return to the political stage should indeed take a gamble, call the Commissioner of Police, call the Governor's Office, and see the capabilities of veteran police officers.

Clean up the tarnished resume and stand up to the elite police officers.

On the sixth floor of the ICAC (Independent Commission Against Corruption) Building, Senior Inspector Qi Xusheng strode to the detention room, arms crossed, and coldly stared at Customs Senior Inspector Wang Zhenming. He said rudely, "Wang sir, here's a free piece of news: Deng Yuchang has mobilized militia to block roads in Pingshan Township, causing disturbances. The Governor has already signed the Level 3 Emergency Ordinance. With such a serious matter at hand, why bother with such trivialities?"

Sitting on the iron bed, Wang Zhenming, his hair disheveled and his face haggard, was taken aback when he heard this and said, "Uncle Deng has summoned the militia to block the roads?"

Qi Xusheng glanced at the Rolex on his wrist: "Nonsense, do I need to bluff you?"

From Wang Zhenming's perspective, the view was clearer, and he immediately realized that Uncle Deng had made a terrible mistake. He sighed and said, "Alright, I'll explain."

Compared to the major riots in the New Territories, this smuggling case is truly insignificant. If he continues to refuse to cooperate with the ICAC, the next step will be to sweep him into a pile of charges such as "espionage" and "endangering public safety."

Qi Xusheng listened quietly, expressionless, seemingly unsurprised by Wang Zhenming's confession. Those who remain silent at the ICAC are those with someone else covering for them.

The person who helped Wang Zhenming was the Deng family. Now that even the Deng family is struggling to survive, why doesn't Wang Zhenming hurry up and sell, or just hold on until he's buried?

In 1964, to quell the riots in the New Territories, the Hong Kong government established the Heung Yee Kuk and allowed the five major surnames to take turns serving as governors, forming a pattern of rural self-governance. This was already a form of administrative division, and the authorities' bottom line was that the Tang family had pulled another stunt without any reason, which the Hong Kong government would never tolerate again.

Five minutes later, Qi Xusheng dialed a number in front of Wang Zhenming: "Inspector Huang, we have the statement. Propose the arrest. Remember you owe me a favor."

Under the premise of overall stability in Hong Kong and adherence to major principles, even the most tense relationship between the police and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) can be resolved through information sharing and collaborative investigations. Minor political conflicts can always be masked by major ones.

While still driving, Huang Qixian thanked him and dialed Lin Tiansheng's number with one hand, shouting, "Ah Sheng, I have the statement. I'll write the documents. I can mobilize a 30-man mobile unit within 15 minutes. The person on duty in West Kowloon tonight happens to be a subordinate of PTU Chief Inspector Pu Yongshi, one of our men."

"Senior Inspector Ho Ching of the uniformed duty unit of the New Territories South Police District was also willing to give them face and was about to arrive at the scene in five minutes, ready to intervene at any time."

In fact, another member of the remnant party, Senior Inspector Li Jiaxiang of the Flying Tigers, was on duty, but mobilizing the Flying Tigers required the signature of the Deputy Director of Operations. Li Jiaxiang could apply for a shift change to carry out the mission, but he had no authority to mobilize the Flying Tigers. When it came time to actually use the Flying Tigers, the operational authority would not fall into their hands.

"That's enough." Lin Tiansheng was secretly pleased. There were quite a few people, and they were all armed. He was immediately emboldened and said, "Please have Pu Sir and He Sir take their positions at the entrance of Ping Shan Estate to avoid conflict with the villagers. I will take my men into the village first."

Huang Qixian knew that Lin Tiansheng had informants, and immediately understood that he planned to infiltrate the village. He was really worried and solemnly said, "Take care, Ah Sheng."

"The one who should take care of himself is that old man Deng Yuchang." Lin Tiansheng hung up the phone, stubbed out his cigarette, returned to Zhong Zhihui, and patted him on the shoulder: "The intelligence department is keeping an eye on the kidnappers. I'll lead the brothers to do the work."

Zhong Zhihui gave Zeng Chaoxiang of the monitoring team a look: "Take a group of guys and follow Lin Sir to provide communication support."

"Yes, sir!" Zeng Chaoxiang, dressed in a suit, stood at attention and saluted.

Lin Tiansheng clapped his hands three times loudly and shouted, "Get to work!"

Six officers from Serious Crimes Unit E set off fully equipped, following their boss down the stairs and boarding a plainclothes car prepared by the Equipment Division. Upon arriving in Tsuen Wan Town, based on information provided by Tang Chung-ming, they transferred to a minivan to head to Ping Shan.

When the vegetable company employee received the call, he thought it was someone from the Deng family coming to pick up the goods. Unexpectedly, several police officers jumped out of the car, quickly pinned him down, and handed him over to the uniformed officers who came to assist.

After mobilizing the militia, Deng needed to provide food and contact suppliers, which happened to be Deng Zongming's responsibility. With an inside man leading the way, even if Deng set up roadblocks on all the roads, the police were still able to enter Pingshan Township.

Upon learning that "Ah Liang's" wife had been kidnapped, Deng Zongming was overjoyed. In his eyes, Lin Tiansheng was a perfect partner. He had the ability to take down Deng Zongliang's protectors, and he would even thoughtfully "silence" him to prevent his affair with his sister-in-law from being exposed. Moreover, he dared to personally come to the ancestral hall to arrest Ah Liang. He would definitely cooperate with him to the end.
At this moment, the truck delivering vegetables and steamed buns had arrived in front of the Deng Clan Ancestral Hall in Pingshan. A militia team of ten men, carrying AK47s and wearing jackets, were smoking and chatting. Two of them stopped the truck, knocked on the metal door, and shouted, "Unload the goods at the door."

Reeking of alcohol, Zhang Jinrong kicked open the driver's seat door and said irritably, "Damn it, the young master told me to bring the groceries in, so you're going to leave them at the door and carry them out yourself?"

In the front hall, Deng Yuchang, Deng Zongliang, Deng Zongming, Deng Zongyuan, and more than thirty people of all ages gathered, some standing and some standing, to discuss tomorrow's actions.

No one dared to question the Grandfather's orders, because it was under his leadership that the Deng family gradually dominated the village and became the number one surname in the New Territories, even the Governor respected them.
