History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 420 Promotion!

When the policemen went upstairs and saw the thighs hanging from the door, the flesh and blood all over the floor, and the pieces of flesh stuck to the ceiling, they all felt a little fear of the officer in their hearts.However, Chen Li didn't want to waste any time, and immediately asked his subordinates to start searching the room.

The doors were opened one after another, and in addition to famous wines, luxury cars, and brand-name watches, several safes were also found, which contained not only bank deposit certificates, but also a large amount of cash, stock securities, property deeds, and gold jewelry.

"Sir Barton really has a lot of money."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Chen Li breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the Hong Kong dollars piled up like a hill, his heart didn't fluctuate at all.A high-level police force has worked for more than ten years, and has tens of millions of property.However, after reviewing the searched stock securities, he still took a deep breath: "The stock securities alone are worth more than 3000 million Hong Kong dollars."

"The ghost has a white skin, so it's really easier to make money!"

These assets are still sealed at home, and there are well-documented records. According to high-level practice, overseas assets are at least ten times more than at home.

Among the Chinese police officers on Hong Kong Island, except for Sir He, none of them has a net worth of more than [-] million!

There is a question mark on whether Sir He is there or not.

After all, even if it is Sir He, the main source of assets comes from Zhengxing, and the value of assets fluctuates greatly with the market. The guessable fee part accounts for at most 4000 to [-] million.

"These evidences are enough to crucify him. After the confiscation, it will also enrich the pockets of the brothers, and build a few empty buildings for the citizens." Chen Li looked at the action of the brothers confiscating the stolen money and packing it away, and the corners of his mouth were beaming with joy: "You finally did a good deed."

That night.

Barton's single-family villa in Repulse Bay was sealed, and all the famous wines, luxury cars, and luxury goods in the house were taken away by the police.

Day two.

morning.

Chen Li came to the police office with the report, stood at attention, saluted, and reported aloud: "Director, last night Sir Patton resisted arrest with a gun, resulting in the death of a police officer from the Anti-Corruption Office and the injury of two police officers from the Anti-Corruption Office."

"Patton himself was shot dead on the spot."

"The anti-corruption office found 200 million Hong Kong dollars in cash in the residence, as well as various stock securities and bank deposit certificates worth more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars. One of the deposit certificates coincided with the bribery case explained by the chairman of the former Star Ferry."

Kunxian was wearing a uniform, sitting on the sofa, with a heavy face, clasped his hands, listening to the reports of his subordinates.

He Dingxian, Ge Bai, and Skaiming accompanied him.

When Skeming heard the news that Patton was shot dead on the spot, his expression was obviously a little wrong, probably because he didn't expect the pro-China faction to be so ruthless when dealing with his own people.Ge Bai sighed, and said regretfully, "Sir Barton has served the police force for many years with outstanding achievements. He just needs to cooperate with the investigation. How did he come to this point?"

Kunxian was also very surprised by Barton's death. After all, he only planned to sue Barton for a three-to-five-year sentence, which would be commuted, and he would be released from prison after two or three years in prison.Once some heads are opened, it is actually very dangerous to himself.

But Barton resisted with a gun, the evidence was overwhelming, and it had nothing to do with anyone.

At this time, he had to speak clearly: "If you don't abide by the police regulations, accept benefits without authorization, and have a huge amount of property from unknown sources, you are committing a crime! A senior police officer who has been committing crimes, the longer he serves the police force, the greater the harm he will cause to the police force!"

"Only crime."

"No grades!"

He set the tone and looked up at Chen Li: "Chen sir, the anti-corruption department has done a good job, and I will give special rewards to the police officers who have made great contributions this time."

"This investigation is the anti-corruption incident with the highest standard and the largest amount involved since the establishment of the Hong Kong police. We must not stop at Barton. We must investigate step by step until the end, and give the public an explanation."

"Tell the citizen police force their determination to eradicate corruption!"

When Chen Li heard that he was looking down instead of up, he knew the direction in his heart, saluted immediately, and shouted: "yes, sir!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Pay attention to rest." Kun first said a word of concern in a soft voice, and Chen Li turned around on the spot and walked away with a straight step. The high-level executives talked about things in private, and he, a chief inspector, was not qualified to listen.

After Master left, He Dingxian sighed and said: "No wonder, the police force had a bad reputation in the past ten years, and was called a bad guy. It turns out that there are moths in the upper echelons."

Ge Bai, Kunxian, and Skaming each had their own feelings when they heard this sentence. According to their understanding, the Anti-Corruption Office had a hand over the property last night.Although he didn't dare to touch the stocks and securities, he took away a few luxury cars, which was obviously an internal payment.

But no one would spoil the atmosphere of the scene, everyone pretended to be deep and nodded in approval.

Anyway, let’s not talk about whether anti-corruption is effective or not. At least people are arrested and sentenced. The citizens are happy to hear it, and they think it’s good that the police force is working!

Kun Xian said: "He sir, I plan to award Chen Sir a gold medal of bravery and promote him to be the anti-corruption police superintendent. What's your opinion?"

"Thank you, sir! I think it's very good." He Dingxian thanked him directly, speaking on behalf of Master: "Sir Chen has worked in the Anti-Corruption Bureau for five years and has handled many important cases. Now he is acting bravely in the case of Sir Barton."

"It should be encouraged."

Kun first nodded and said: "The police force is really short of detectives who are daring to fight against corruption. They need to be promoted in the future. Otherwise, the police force's atmosphere is not right, so how can it correct the social order? Right now, Patton is dying in fear of crime, and the position of deputy director of operations is vacant. According to the system, the acting deputy director is the first successor."

"I intend to submit an application to the Security Bureau to appoint Sir Ge as the deputy director of operations. I wonder what Sir Ge's opinion is?" He turned his eyes to Ge Bai who was sitting on the side.Ge Bai's eyes visibly brightened, he nodded unabashedly and said, "Thank you for your trust, sir, this subordinate will definitely perform their duties seriously."

"Hehe, Sir Ge handled the Wanchai Wharf incident very well. I believe you have the ability to manage the operation department well. As for Sir Ge's previous position, his deputy, Assistant Director of the Kowloon District, Sir Wang will take over."

"Sir Wang's position will be replaced by Sir Ban, Assistant Director of the Kowloon District."

Sir Wang was Ge Bai's partner before, so he was naturally closer to Ge Bai in terms of political relationship. Promoting Sir Wang is to give Ge Bai's family room for improvement, win Ge Bai's political support, and form a political alliance in essence.

Ban sir is Kunxian's former subordinate and is the assistant director of the Hong Kong Island District.

Asking the class sir to fill in the seat, somewhat aggrieved, it is obvious that he deliberately made room for others.

The positions above the director level on Hong Kong Island, one radish and one hole, how many chief superintendents are watching?The chief of police deliberately wronged his own people to find a good job. Who is he preparing for?The three police officers present knew what they were doing.

"What do you think?"

Kunxian asked with a smile.

"Very safe, I think there is no problem." Skeming took the lead in expressing his opinion.

Everyone treats him like air.

Ge Bai nodded and said: "I have considered it very carefully, but it is only the position of assistant director of the Hong Kong Island District."

"Ha ha."

"I will also make a report to recommend this candidate to the Security Bureau. As for who is waiting for the approval of the document, everyone will know." Kun first sold a relationship, stood up and said: "I will go to Taiping Mountain to see the governor later."

Ge Bai, Si Kaiming, and He Dingxian got up one after another, stood at attention and saluted, and turned to leave the director's office.

evening.

Mr. Kun drove to Mount Taiping, and after being interviewed by the Governor, he handed over a report with both hands, and said: "The Anti-Corruption Office of the Police Department obtained a tainted witness statement in the investigation of the Star Ferry bribery case, and learned that the former deputy director of operations, Patton, was involved in corruption."

"During the investigation, Barton's personal illegal assets of 300 million Hong Kong dollars were seized, and all the assets have been sealed up."

Governor Bai Liji flipped through the report, his eyes were playful, and he asked, "The Star Ferry?"

"Is it the ferry company that caused the riot at the Wan Chai pier because of the price increase?"

Kun nodded first: "Yes!"

"It seems that the reason for the intensification of the riots is that Mr. Barton took money to do things for others?" Bai Liji took a deep look at Kunxian. Kunxian picked himself up cleanly. He couldn't help but pay for it, but Bai Liji never intervened in the internal struggles of the police force. He quickly looked away, closed the file, and said: "The stolen goods are confiscated and handed over to the treasury bureau."

"Yes, sir!"

Kun Xian held his head high and held his chest high, accepting orders with a righteous voice.

The next day.

The police force announced the news that the former deputy director was shot dead on the spot for taking bribes and resisting with arms, and announced the total amount of assets confiscated.It was the first time that the citizens saw the fall of a high-ranking ghost at the director level, and the public opinion was extremely enthusiastic. The citizens set off firecrackers to celebrate and applauded.

Many people are even speechless about the 300 million stolen money. It is impossible to imagine that in the era when the per capita salary was 300 yuan, a high-level police force could accept more than 1000 million stolen money.What is this number?Ordinary citizens have not been able to earn so much money since working as coolies in the Han Dynasty.In an era of rising productivity, the more people there are, the more wealth there will be. But the richer the rich, the more poor people will be. Whether life is good or not, in fact, productivity is a secondary issue, and the distribution method is the main issue.

However, clubs have to pay fees and shops have to pay taxes, and young and Dangerous people who are messing around are not as happy as citizens.Because, the public can look forward to a clean and promising new Commissioner of Police.But they can personally feel that this session is actually no different from the previous session!

By virtue of this action, Kun Xian created a political image of being clean and courageous in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, three more chief superintendents and six police superintendents were investigated, and Patton's confidantes were wiped out, and the rest showed their loyalty to Kun Xian, which gave Kun Xian a taste of power.The position of the chairman of the Patton Police Foundation was naturally dismissed. With the full support of the police force, Kunxian was elected as the new chairman of the Police Foundation with a full vote.

three days later.

Taiping Mountain.

Governor's Palace.

When Bai Liji received the job recommendation submitted by the Security Bureau, he suddenly realized: "It turns out that more than 1000 million stolen money was used to buy officials! Shut my mouth and change positions!"

In fact, he is quite dissatisfied with the money empire built within the police force, because the police force is not only greedy for money, but also colludes with social groups, breeding a large number of illegal industries, attracting funds, monopolizing a number of industries, and slowing down the economic growth rate.

The most important thing is that young and strong laborers are locked in the association and cannot be driven into the factory. Many British-owned factories are experiencing labor shortages.This is not because Hong Kong Island is underpopulated, nor is it that the economic growth rate is low, but that part of the economic vitality has been shut down, which has become the cornerstone and nourishment of the money empire, eroding his interests and political achievements.

Of course, the time for peaceful development that Bai Liji bought by bowing his head and compromising is essentially blending with the interests of the money empire.It was impossible for him to tear himself apart from the money empire, so he simply signed a few letters of appointment.

Ge Bai was appointed as the Deputy Director of Operations, Wang Zhe was appointed as the Senior Assistant Director of the Kowloon District, and He Dingxian was appointed as the Assistant Director of the Hong Kong Island District.
