Chapter 173 The Situation
Kowloon Funeral Home, Maple Street, Tai Kok Tsui.
The funeral held here today is a little different. In addition to sadness and sorrow, there is also an atmosphere of resentment.
In the funeral hall, both sides were hung with elegiac couplets criticizing the Independent Commission Against Corruption. In the middle of the hall were the four characters "loyalty, liver, righteousness, and courage." A pair of elegiac couplets on both sides of the memorial tablet read: "Jingzheng's career was tragic and he was forced to die, and his loyalty and righteousness led to this end."
A pair of elegiac couplets on the left side of the mourning hall directly refers to the persecution by the Independent Commission Against Corruption and vows to fight to the end. The first couplet avenges the grievances of the colleagues who were persecuted by the ICAC. They would rather die than give in to the persecution by the ICAC. They are called heroic heroes. The lower couplet turns sorrow into strength and fights to the end against the unreasonable to comfort the heroic souls.
Under this atmosphere of grief and indignation, every relative and friend who came to express condolences expressed infinite sorrow and became silent.
"We have guests arriving."
"Please come forward."
"Stop."
Lu Dongjie and Guan Zhengfei appeared at the funeral ceremony in neat black suits. Following the instructions of the funeral master of ceremonies, they stood solemnly and looked at the photo of the deceased in the mourning hall. Both of them felt a little heavy.
As a colleague who was once stationed in the same department, although the friendship was not too deep, I felt sorry for his misfortune. In both emotional and logical reasons, I should be there to see this colleague off on his last journey.
"a bow"
"Bow again."
"Three bows."
"Thank you to the family."
After Lu Dongjie and Guan Zhengfei completed the worship process, they also stood beside their relatives and friends, standing quietly and waiting without saying a word, with no other expressions on their faces.
There were a large number of reporters waiting at the scene. They did not expect to meet Lu Dongjie here. They were stunned for a moment, then immediately picked up the camera in their hands and rushed out of the crowd, aiming at him and hurriedly taking pictures.
"Now the viewing of the remains begins. All relatives and friends, please stand up." The master of ceremonies shouted loudly, causing some people at the scene to become commotion.
Hundreds of people came to pay their respects today, most of them are active or retired service personnel. Among them are active service officers, inspectors and detectives, and many of them are under investigation or prosecution by the ICAC.
There was quite a sense of shared hatred at the scene.
After the two expressed their condolences, they did not stop there and drove away immediately.
"What do you think about this matter?" Guan Zhengfei took a puff of cigarette and glanced at Lu Dongjie.
"It's like a swearing-in meeting. All I have to do is issue a statement and fight to the death with the ICAC." Lu Dongjie shook his head.
"You have fought against Lian Ji's people, and you know how they do things." Guan Zhengfei said with some emotion.
Since the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, up to now, a total of 31 corruption groups have been investigated and dealt with, of which 23 are exclusively owned by the Prosecution Department. Every year, the stolen money collected by police officers detected is more than the money earned by HSBC Bank.
They can achieve such a strong record by targeting only one police department. It is conceivable how powerful their methods are. It can be said that every police officer walking on the street may become a police officer at any time.
The prey they are targeting.
"If this situation develops, there will inevitably be a big conflict. You should be careful and don't get too close to them." Lu Dongjie said thoughtfully.
"Don't worry about this. I've been informed by my superiors that I will be attending a training class starting next month." Guan Zhengfei said this with a smile on his face.
"By the way, how was the deal with you last time? I heard that there was a fierce exchange of fire in Kui Chung a while ago." Lu Dongjie suddenly remembered this matter.
"I followed your method and let them know first, but the people from the Political Department were really funny. They sent a foreign police superintendent and a team of idiots to rush in blindly, but they were beaten and maimed in half."
Guan Zhengfei shook his head and sneered.
"Oh, the opponent's firepower is so fierce?" Lu Dongjie couldn't help but said in surprise.
"When we took inventory, we found more than a hundred pounds of phony drugs, ten phony bombs, eight prg repeater tubes, electronic communication tubes, fire weapons, and firearms. It was simply a fire, with the power to swindle the entire capital of Great Xia.
No problem." Guan Zhengfei slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said with some fear.
"If they knew it was you who leaked the information and misled them, they wouldn't want to blame you." Lu Dongjie laughed.
"Huh, if we hadn't arrived with reinforcements at the end, all of them would have met Jesus." Guan Zhengfei chuckled.
"So who did you catch in the end?" Lu Dongjie asked.
"There are a bunch of social members of the 14k Shengzi sect, including their Marshal Dalu and Bai Zhifan." Guan Zheng flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said with a smile.
"14k? Do they want to change their career to make money?" Lu Dongjie couldn't help laughing,
"Do you know what the organization they claim to be called is?" Guan Zhengfei asked with a strange look on his face.
"What's his name?" Lu Dongjie was also very curious when he saw how he couldn't hold back his laughter.
"They actually claim to be the Tsuen Wan Welfare Association. This is the first time I have heard a society call itself a welfare association. If the Director of Welfare heard this, I don't know what to think. It's really hilarious." Guan Zhengfei finished.
He chuckled.
"Then who will handle these 14k in the end?" Lu Dongjie shook his head and smiled.
"You also know their backstage, so in the end this case was handed over to their political department." Guan Zhengfei smiled nonchalantly.
"That's right. If it involves them, don't get involved. Anyway, you get the credit, and leave the rest to them." Lu Dongjie also said with deep approval.
"Oh, by the way, the information about the person you asked me to find last time has been found." Guan Zhengfei remembered what Lu Dongjie had told him before, and took out an envelope from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to him.
Lu Dongjie held the peptide plate with one hand and took it with the other hand. He opened it and saw a yellowed photo and a file. Then he put it back into the envelope and nodded with a smile: "Okay, yes.
This is it”
"Isn't this a long-lost relative?" Guan Zhengfei stared at Lu Dongjie with suspicion.
"You don't know about any relatives in my family?" Lu Dongjie rolled his eyes at him angrily.
"That's true, but that place is full of old people from the previous dynasty. Why are you looking for people there when you have nothing to do?" Guan Zhengfei asked with some confusion.
"Someone asked me to give her something. Let's treat it as fulfilling one of his wishes." Lu Dongjie said with a faint smile, but he couldn't tell what he was feeling on his face.
"Has that damn record company of yours been launched on the market? It can't be a leather company, right?" Guan Zhengfei brought up another topic.
"Don't worry, you will soon have a lot of money and a lot of money." Lu Dongjie chuckled.
"Is it true or false?" Guan Zhengfei raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.
