History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 173 Heroic anti-smuggling
Ge Bai was startled. He didn't expect that He Dingxian would attack the customs, but He Dingxian said in a slow and unhurried manner: "The Customs Administration itself is the largest smuggling group on Hong Kong Island. It not only collects money from foreign firms, but also from Chinese people. .”

"As the Chief Inspector of the Anti-Corruption Office of the Police Force, if you accidentally stumble across clues of corruption in the Police Force and follow the clues, you will definitely see the customs, right?"

"Ge sir, this is your ability!"

There are clues of police corruption all over the street, just as everyone in the Customs Department covers up smuggling, and the Customs Department collects black money from smugglers, just like the police force eats a free bowl of Chezi noodles on the street. Drinking water is as natural as it is, and it is charged on-site within the responsibility, which will not be reflected in the fees.

Every once in a while, the Anti-Corruption Office will pretend to investigate a few corruption cases for investigation, and then the police force will ask a few low-level police officers and team leaders. Everything is like a script written in advance.

But Ge Bai was extremely worried, and couldn't help but said: "The Anti-Corruption Office is only responsible for the corruption of the police force, and has no right to deal with the Customs, Correctional Services and other departments. He sir, you want me to make mistakes!"

But He Dingxian said: "What are you afraid of? I have already figured out the reasons for you. The police investigation team accidentally got involved in the customs. When the time comes, just submit the case to the higher-level department and let the boss of the Governor's Mansion make the decision. "

"We just need to put pressure on the customs. What's more, you are about to leave the anti-corruption room. Is it too much to step on a little line at the end?"

"My relationship with you is not worth your help!" He Dingxian lit a cigarette, and after speaking, he smoked quietly.

Ge Bai hesitated in his heart, not because he was afraid of the Customs Department. After all, as the only anti-corruption department in Hong Kong, if the anti-corruption department has clues, it is reasonable to check other departments.

This is also the reason why the customs was able to swallow their anger last time.

As the largest disciplinary department on Hong Kong Island, the police force has the strongest armed forces. The more departments there are, the greater the power in itself. If Hong Kong Island hadn’t concentrated most of the law and order power on the police force at the beginning, it would not have needed to be established later. ICAC alone.

We will not reorganize the police force, set up a separate marine police district, and separate the land police, marine police, and anti-corruption institutionally.

Most of this centralized system is easy to use, and it is extremely suitable for the initial colonization. However, once corruption occurs, it is easy to form a crime of corruption, commonly known as a nest of snakes and rats.

Ge Bai's real hesitation is that helping the Chinese police to hide in the customs makes him feel like a ghost. After all, the customs is also a ghost!

But He Dingxian had an unusual relationship with him. Under He Dingxian's bewitching, Ge Bai couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he had to evade, "It's still too risky. I don't want to affect my later promotion because of tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars."

"He sir, it's just a little bit of money, it's not worth it?"

He Dingxian immediately retorted: "How can it be a problem of goods? This is a problem of the face of the police force. When you come out to mess around, what is most important, face is the most important!"

"What's more, with Sir Ge's contacts in the internal transfer arrangement of the police force, how can it be influenced by the Customs Department? If Sir Ge doesn't help, my goods will be detained more and more in the future, and I really have no spare time for you. Send specials."

"You don't want to do the calculations in the finance department, do the calculations, you have empty pockets?"

As a big embezzler, Ge Bai loves money in his bones. When he heard someone blackmailing him with money, his first reaction was not anger, but fear. His weakness was being choked by someone, so he immediately turned hard and said, "Okay!"

"Looking at the relationship between us, I will help you this time."

He Dingxian smiled immediately, stepped forward and patted Sir Ge on the shoulder, and said happily: "I knew it, I didn't miss you, my friend!"

Among all the ghosts in Hong Kong, Ge Bai is the cutest, why?
Because other people really do things for money!

And only recognize money, not nationality.

There are of course many such traitors in the world. There are traitors in every country, and there are more traitors in the colonies, but Ge Bai is the only one with the right size, right location, and good relationship.

"If you need to handle the case, let me know in advance." Seeing that he was going to leave, Ge Bai hurriedly got up to see him off. If he hadn't been transferred to the finance department and was afraid that he would not have enough funds to operate in a good position in the future, he would not have agreed so readily.

"Definitely, definitely." He Dingxian agreed.

If you want to find evidence of smuggling, corruption and bribery in the Marine Police Department, it is very simple. The key is whether anyone dares to investigate.

Two days later.

Tsuen Wan Pier.

A group of cargo ships loaded with electrical appliances docked, and several uniformed customs officers turned on their flashlights and immediately stepped forward: "Which company is it from?"

Originally, when the customs found the cargo ship at the wild wharf, the first action should be to subdue the crew immediately, board the ship and search, and then go to the higher-level customs to detain all the smuggled goods, then check the contraband, and then let the legal goods pay additional duties.

Now the three customs officers seemed to be drinking tea in a restaurant, with cigarettes in their mouths, and their tone was nonchalant.

The owner of the cargo on the ship immediately stepped forward, handed over cigarettes, and said courteously: "Everyone, sir, the cargo on board is Atlantic Commercial Company, please say hello to the officer, and give me some time to unload the cargo."

The cargo owner turned out to be a ghost.

The three customs officers each received a pack of cigarettes, and one of them urged, "Hurry up and unload it, I'll go and notify the officer now."

"Thank you, sir." The ghost cargo owner cleared the customs officer, turned his head and gestured to the ship owner, and immediately someone disembarked and found the leader of the society who was waiting for the workers on the shore, and a group of laborers got up and unloaded the cargo immediately, cursing.

The price of the ghost ship is cheap, but the goods are expensive. If you don't pay attention, you will be beaten.

Dock workers dislike unloading goods from foreign companies the most, but mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are, and they always want to make some money.

The assistant supervisor "Carl" in charge of the Tsuen Wan Wharf received the news, walked out of the temporary lounge on the wharf, armed with guns, led a few men to board the freighter at random, and asked the owner of the cargo, "Is it from the Atlantic Company?"

This firm is not well-known in the history of Hong Kong Island, but it is the property of a senior executive of Yihe Matheson Co., Ltd., and has been invested by Standard Chartered Matheson. It has several stores in Central and opened the earliest electrical department store on Hong Kong Island.

However, most of the electrical appliances in the company, ranging from large TVs and refrigerators to small radios and electric kettles, are all smuggled into Hong Kong.

It controls two-thirds of the film supply in Hong Kong.

This is big business!
"Yes, sir. I'm Bradden, the manager of Atlantic Commercial Bank. This is my business card." The owner handed over a business card with both hands, and Carl accepted it casually, and said aloud, "Do you want to pass the customs with just a business card?"

He has been in charge of the Tsuen Wan pier as an assistant supervisor for more than four months, but the electrical appliance store itself is not a business with frequent freight, and the real goods are oil, diesel, grain, fruit, etc.
It was the first time I saw the cargo manager of Atlantic Commercial Bank, and I couldn't wait to make a big killing.

As the manager of the firm, Bretten is certainly not a fool, but it is impossible to carry a large amount of cash when going overseas, so he immediately took out a check in his pocket: "Mr. Carl, this is the customs clearance fee for the firm."

When Karl saw the amount of [-] Hong Kong dollars on the check, he was immediately satisfied, and folded it with a smile and put it in his arms.

Just as the two finished the transaction and the laborers began to unload the goods, a group of uniformed policemen rushed onto the pier, led by a white-skinned ghost, but the appearance of the police did not make the sea concerned or the laborers flustered.

This pier itself is covered by the police force, it is impossible for the police force to smash their own jobs!

The customs officer leaned in front of Carl and reported aloud: "Sir, someone from the police force is here."

"I know." Carl replied nonchalantly. He just looked at the man from the police force with a bit of displeasure in his eyes. He raised his flashlight to shine a light on Ge Bai's eyes. He raised his hand to cover his eyes and stepped on the wooden railing. He almost stepped on the edge of the board, and his feet slipped and he was about to fall into the sea. Fortunately, two subordinates quickly grabbed his arms and lifted him up: "Ge sir, Ge sir!"

Ge Bai stood on the board panting, still in shock, looking up at Karl in front, his face full of anger.

Karl was as surprised to see him as he was, and hastily handed the flashlight to his subordinates, stepped forward and said, "Ge sir, why are you here?"

Ge Baicai didn't bother to give him a good face, so he said straight to the face: "The anti-corruption department received an anonymous report. There is a customs officer in Tsuen Wan covering up smuggling. Carl, is it you!"

"Why is there a freighter here?"

He looked at the cargo owner next to him again, and suddenly ordered: "Detain him!"

The owner of the cargo didn't dare to confront the police force, so he was immediately detained by two ghost police officers, but Carl was startled and furious: "TMD, you gangster is here to make trouble again!"

Thinking of the last time someone pointed a gun at someone and asked them to go to the anti-corruption office, Carl was furious. How could there be a freighter here?Why don't you ask why there are laborers here!Freighters come every night, are you blind?Can't see!
Pretend to be a Londoner!

Angrily, Carl reached out and pushed a police officer away, quickly drew out the gun at his waist, clenched his hands tightly, pointed forward and shouted loudly: "Peter! This is the Tsuen Wan Wharf under my jurisdiction, not your anti-corruption project." office!"

"Get out now, I'll pretend nothing happened!"

Seeing that the muzzle of the gun was pointing at his chest, Ge Bai almost couldn't breathe, so he raised his hands and stepped back step by step, shouting, "Calm down, Karl, calm down!"

"roll!!!"

Carl yelled.

Ge Bai seldom boarded the boat, and the sky was dark. He panicked in the middle of the retreat, his heels lost his footing, his leather shoes slipped again, and he suddenly fell back into the sea.

Carl watched the man disappear in astonishment, and after a daze, he panicked: "I haven't opened my insurance yet, why did he get shot?"

"Fuck, fuck, shooting a police officer is a felony."

Several ghosts from the police force immediately let go of the owner of the cargo and ran into the sea to rescue people. Even if the owner of the cargo was not under control, he stood motionless on the deck of the ship and did not dare to run around, for fear that he would be charged with murdering a police inspector.

There are so many people present, big and small, he alone is the most suitable to take the blame, how dare he run away!

Tonight, Ge Baihong is hot!
