Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 718: Police Force Quickly Blocked

When Li Shutang arrived at the scene, Mike and Raymond were arguing fiercely. Both of them had livid faces and spoke sharply, as if they were about to fight in the next second.

He immediately frowned and shouted coldly, "Shut up! It's already this hour, why are you still arguing here? You are high-ranking members of the police force, not hooligans on the street!"

His voice was like thunder, instantly suppressing the argument between the two.

Mike and Raymond were stunned for a moment, then lowered their heads and dared not say another word.

Li Shutang's eyes were like knives. He swept over the two people and said sternly, "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility! Cai Sir was killed by criminals in the hospital. This is a blatant provocation to our police force! We must find the murderer immediately and give an explanation to the citizens of Hong Kong Island and every colleague in the police force!"

He paused, his voice even heavier: "Cai Yuanqi represents the dignity of the police force, but now he was killed on his own territory. This is not only his tragedy, but also a shame for our entire police force!"

"As high-ranking members of the police force, you two are not wasting your time tracking down the murderer, but are instead shirking responsibility and arguing here. Do you think this is appropriate?"

Mike and Raymond were speechless.

Li Shutang saw this and softened his tone, but still said in a serious tone: "Notify all those with flowers on their shoulders to come to the conference room immediately for a meeting! At the same time, order the serious crime squads and uniformed squads of each police station to strictly check all ports and airports within their jurisdiction to prevent the criminals from escaping Hong Kong Island. The marine police will patrol 24 hours a day, and all ships must be strictly checked!"

"Yes, Sir!" Everyone present responded in unison, their voices loud and firm.

Following Li Shutang's command, the entire police force quickly started to work, like a sophisticated machine, and began to track down the murderer with all their might.

At the same time, Watson was sitting at home and hung up the phone with a serious expression.

He turned to look at Wei Jixiang beside him and said in a deep voice: "The situation has changed. The police force blocked the area too quickly. The marine police have also started patrolling. It is difficult for Jianjun and his men to leave Hong Kong Island now."

Wei Jixiang frowned and asked in a low voice: "What should we do? Sending them away now is too risky."

Watson pondered for a moment and said slowly: "We can only hide them temporarily. Jixiang, Xin Hongtai has a large number of people and is powerful. No matter what method you use, you must ensure their safety. Even if there is a conflict with the police, you must protect the brothers, and no one can get into trouble!"

Wei Jixiang nodded, a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, Watson. I have already made arrangements. As long as the police come to search, I will let a group of old men and women in their seventies and eighties stop them. I wonder if those police dare to use force against the elderly! As long as we buy time, we can transfer Jianjun and the others away. There are so many people in Xinhongtai, the police will not be able to find them even if they search the sky and the earth!"

Hearing this, Watson's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile of approval: "Your trick is good, using both soft and hard tactics. No matter how powerful the police are, they dare not do anything to the old man. Even I have a headache with this situation."

Wei Jixiang touched his head and said with a simple smile: "I learned all this from books. I didn't expect it would come in handy."

Watson patted his shoulder and said solemnly: "I'll leave it to you. Please inform me if there is any situation. I will support you behind the scenes."

"I understand, Watson, don't worry!" Wei Jixiang nodded in agreement.

Watson then left Xin Hongtai's territory accompanied by Chen Yongren.

He must go home as soon as possible. After all, Cai Yuanqi's death made him a suspect.

If he was injured and moving around, it would easily attract the attention of the police.

Fortunately, the surveillance personnel around Watson's house have been cleared out by Ji Shaoqun and his men, and it is safe for the time being.

Just then, Watson's cell phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone and saw that it was Huang Bingyao calling. Watson was a little confused. What did Huang Bingyao want to talk to him about so late at night?

He answered the phone and deliberately said in a sleepy tone, "Hello, Mr. Huang, why are you calling so late? What's the matter?"

On the other end of the phone, Huang Bingyao's voice was so excited that he almost jumped up: "Watson! Do you know? That old guy Cai Yuanqi is dead! Just an hour ago, he was killed by gangsters who rushed into the hospital! Hahaha, it really makes people happy!"

Watson's mouth twitched slightly, but his tone was full of surprise: "What? Cai Yuanqi is dead? Is this true? This... this is simply God's will!"

Huang Bingyao didn't notice Watson's strangeness at all, and continued excitedly: "Yes! This old guy teamed up with the people from the Department of Justice to deal with us before. I suspect that what happened to Li Wenbin in the past two days is also related to him! I didn't expect that he was actually killed. I am so happy that I want to jump up now!"

Watson suppressed his laughter and agreed, "I really didn't expect that Cai Yuanqi would die like this. Mr. Huang, who do you think did this? It's simply getting rid of a pest for the people!"

Huang Bingyao laughed: "Who knows? But no matter who it is, I have to thank him! He has eliminated a big trouble for us!"

Watson also laughed and said, "Yes, it's a pity that I am injured and cannot participate in this operation. Otherwise, I would definitely help the 'hero' in secret."

Huang Bingyao paused, his tone suddenly becoming awkward: "Ahem, yes... Okay, I won't say anymore. I'm already at the police department and will have a meeting soon. I'll tell you in detail after the meeting."

"Okay, Mr. Huang, you go ahead and get busy." Watson hung up the phone, the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a look of deep thought.

He murmured in a low voice: "Cai Yuanqi is dead, and it's your turn to take the position next, Mr. Huang..."

Although the West Kowloon Police Station managed by Wong Bing-yiu had a large number of cases returned by the Department of Justice before, the impact of this incident was far less than that of Li Wenbin's scandal.

Now, the whole of Hong Kong Island knows that Li Wenbin is the "strongest second-generation police force." Even if he has the ability to be promoted, Li Shutang dare not promote him again, otherwise it will inevitably cause a public opinion storm.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption, the Security Bureau and even the Governor's Office will express strong dissatisfaction with this.

Under such circumstances, Li Wenbin obviously could no longer compete for the position of deputy director of operations.

The death of Cai Yuanqi made Huang Bingyao the only candidate.

Others are either underqualified or lack the support behind them.

The position of Deputy Director of Operations requires not only ability, but also prestige and the support of brothers.

Without these, even if you sit in the position, you will just be a puppet.

Watson narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "I originally planned to let A-Zu's father give Huang Bingyao a push at the critical moment, but now it seems that it is not necessary. In this case, A-Zu's father can continue to hide his identity, remain neutral on the surface, and then lend me a helping hand at the critical moment..."

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
