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

Chapter 90 Banana People (34)

"Sixty-five kilograms?" Lin Tiansheng could not hide his surprise. He really did not expect that the corrupt police could rob so many goods from the gold factory.

Keep in mind, this is just one order!
In the morning, Yang Sihai sent someone to deliver 600,000 yuan, but not even a fraction of it arrived. If it were a legitimate company, one could guess that they were using it to stock up on inventory, extend credit, or earn a small service fee.

Xinxinxing, however, is a money laundering company run by foreigners. As you can imagine, most of it is illicit money, and the amount far exceeds expectations.

There are only two possibilities: First, the foreigners have a huge amount of illicit funds, with monthly turnover possibly exceeding 100 million, and the police management involved is more extensive than imagined, thus stirring up a hornet's nest.

Second, the illicit income of the anti-drug squad far exceeded expectations; Ah Ben was particularly daring to embezzle and earn money.

Adu said, "Yes, 65 kilograms, a huge case. The robbers killed one person and injured nine others at the scene; it's definitely going to be on the news."

Zhang Qianwen said from the side, "It's not going to be on the news; the Kowloon headquarters might even send someone over."

"Perhaps even our Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) will get involved."

Bao Zhongren nodded in agreement. For particularly big cases, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) would often mobilize informants to delve into the underworld and investigate.

In the Superintendent's office of the Narcotics Bureau at the headquarters, a foreigner named "Ah Ben," dressed in uniform, was shocked to hear that the factory had been robbed. He slammed his fist on the table and roared into the phone, "How am I supposed to explain this to my superiors?"

"Find out who delivered the goods recently and who leaked the address."

"Yes, sir." The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with fear.

Ah Ben took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then said, "Have Inspector Yuen from Kowloon District handle this case. Not a single gram of gold should be spared."

"clear."

Huang Ye arrived at the Operations Department's conference room and, after receiving the case file on the gold robbery, his expression became serious and tense. Such a major case concerned the reputation of the Kowloon Regional Headquarters, East Kowloon, and West Kowloon. If the matter wasn't investigated thoroughly and the public given an explanation as soon as possible, the department heads wouldn't have an easy time.

Not to mention Sir Henry's face was dripping with gloom, and when he mentioned the sixty kilograms of gold, he looked like he was in pain, as if afraid that outsiders wouldn't know the reason he had the money.

Back at the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), he glanced at everyone, called out Lin Tiansheng's name, and said, "Lin sir, your team will assist the Major Crimes Unit."

Lin Tiansheng stood up with a surprised expression and saluted, "Yes, sir."

Originally, I only intended to use Pi Zhibang to do things, but I didn't expect to be able to participate in the investigation myself.

Huang Ye handed him a document and earnestly instructed him: "Superintendent Yuan Weilun of the Kowloon Regional Crime Bureau is personally handling this case. Be careful and don't embarrass the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau."

If Henry hadn't personally selected him, he wouldn't have wanted Lin Tiansheng involved in the gold robbery. It wasn't that he had any doubts; he simply didn't want Lin Tiansheng to make any more contributions.

But if it hurts the foreigners' wallets, then politics will no longer matter. Whoever has the ability will take the lead. With Lin Tiansheng's outstanding performance in the Major Crimes Unit, he will not escape Henry's notice.

"Understood. Quan, Du, Lao Zhang, Bao, come with me." Lin Tiansheng hung his badge around his neck and said decisively. The four subordinates hurriedly grabbed their guns and followed their superior.

Hou Canxing, looking unconvinced, stepped forward and said, "Such a big case as Huang Sir, you're entrusting it to him?"

"Do you think Pi Zhibang will give you face? Be careful not to get scammed." Huang Ye glanced impatiently at his subordinate, Hou Canxing chuckled twice, and wisely left.

Lin Tiansheng drove his Chevrolet to Hung Hom District, parked the car on the side of Hok Yuen Street East, and saw a group of newspaper reporters surrounding the police cordon, their long lenses and microphones covering every passing police officer. He exchanged a glance with Chen Anquan, chose a less crowded spot, showed his credentials, and entered the scene.

The building has three entrances, but only the one closest to the gold-making factory was blocked; the other companies were still able to operate.

After Lin Tiansheng and his group went upstairs, they found that as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, there were soldiers in military uniforms standing guard, and in the corridor, there were forensic officers wearing gloves and with focused eyes working.

In another corner, Chen Sheng and Shi Zhanpeng were leading their staff to take statements from the uninjured shop assistants and chefs.

Upon noticing him, Chen Sheng took the initiative to greet him: "Inspector Lin." "Inspector Lin."

Lin Tiansheng nodded and introduced the four people behind him: "I'm here to help, with my buddies."

“Inspector Pi is inside.” Chen Sheng finished speaking and continued working. Lin Tiansheng walked into the scene and saw Henry, Pi Zhibang, and Robin from East Kowloon standing in front of a Chinese police superintendent in uniform.

“Yuen Sir, Henry Sir, Pi Sir.” Lin Tiansheng, who worked in Kowloon, recognized Yuen Wai-lun, a superintendent in the Criminal Investigation Department, a British Chinese in his forties.

Former British Army Major stationed in Hong Kong.

After retiring from the military, he joined the police force, was appointed Superintendent, and was in charge of the Major Crimes Unit for the entire Kowloon region. The Chief Inspectors of the Operations Branches of East and West Kowloon were under his command, and the Senior Inspector of the Major Crimes Unit, Pi Chi-pong, was his subordinate.

Yuen Wai-lun nodded slightly, ignoring the henchman. Henry took the initiative to introduce him: "Inspector Yuen, Lam Tin-shing has performed exceptionally well in handling cases, so I specially transferred him from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau to help."

"Understood." Yuan Weilun nodded casually, not caring much. His Chinese was even worse, so he communicated entirely in English. He ordered, "Investigate everything from arms procurement and the sale of stolen goods to their entry into Hong Kong. I want the criminals brought to justice within 24 hours, and not a single gram of gold dust from the stolen goods can be lost."

He's different from the elites who deliberately flaunt their foreign languages; he's a complete "banana" (a person who is Westernized and lacks cultural understanding).

"Yes, sir!"

Henry, Robin, Pi Zhibang, and Lin Tiansheng all answered in unison: "Yes, sir."

The two groups then went their separate ways, each carrying out their own tasks and secretly vying for power. Robin astutely realized that gaining Inspector Yuen's favor would allow him to establish connections with the foreigners.

He wants to be a banana person (a person who is Westernized), and he wants to lick Her Majesty the Queen's toes!
Only in this way can we keep the remnants of the party in check and ensure that we are not purged afterward.

Pi Zhibang led Lin Tiansheng to a corner and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Sheng, what do you want to see?"

"Leave it to me."

Lin Tiansheng, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, nodded and said, "I have some friends in the underworld. Ask them to investigate and call you if they get wind of it."

Pi Zhibang nodded, a wry smile on his face, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep for the next twenty-four hours."

Where is Henry?

“I’ve contacted the immigration office,” Pi Zhibang replied.

Lin Tiansheng nodded: "I'll go do my work first."

Robin flipped through the statement book, his gaze falling on a line of records. His expression changed drastically, and he said seriously, "Call this witness over and question him again."

"Inspector Law, have you found anything?" Senior Inspector Chan Mok-shing of the East Kowloon Regional Crime Unit stepped forward, glanced at the person, and pointed to a man. Immediately, a staff member brought the person to him.

After Ji Zhengxiong of the East Kowloon Regional Crime Unit was transferred, he was parachuted into East Kowloon and worked under Robin's new subordinate alongside Senior Inspector Liu Shifeng of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau.

Robin smiled and looked at the goldsmith, asking, "Are you sure the robbers were after the ledger?"

"Yes, sir."

"The ringleader had never handled gold before, yet he demanded the ledgers and even knew about the goods that had arrived that morning." After his master finished speaking, Robin felt a sense of familiarity. Corrupt cops know their cops best; this kind of tactic was definitely not from the Big Circle Gang, but rather from professional killers after the secret accounts.

There must be political motives behind this.
