Chapter 112, The Painter
"Inform the guys from the Forensic Section to come and register and report to Uncle Biao and Director Lin that the counterfeit banknote operation was a great success. Not only did they catch the buyers and sellers, but they also found the counterfeit banknote factory.
Uncle Biao will control the rest of the matter. With him here, we will maximize our interests." Lei Weidong ordered.
"I understand, sir, are we going to arrest Boss Yao?" Li Ying asked.
"Yes!" Lei Weidong nodded. When he saw the emergency lights in the parking lot turned off and the electric lights on, he smiled and said to Song Zihao and Xiao Ma, "There's a call. Do you want to go up and see Mr. Yao together?"
Song Zihao and Brother Xiao Ma nodded. They were not the first brothers. They knew what to do at this time. They could only wish Mr. Yao a blessing.
"Hello Mr. Song, hello Brother Mark!"
The group of people took the elevator upstairs and entered Hengda Finance Company. The company employees who were working greeted the two of them without saying a word, but turned a blind eye to Lei Weidong, Li Ying and others who were following behind them.
People who didn't know better thought that these two were senior executives of Hengda Company and that Lei Weidong and his party were here to discuss business.
"Ahao, you're back, is it going well?"
In the general manager's office, Mr. Yao was drinking tea. When he saw Song Zihao coming in, he stood up and asked eagerly.
"Uncle Yao!" Looking at Mr. Yao, Song Zihao looked embarrassed.
"Mr. Yao, I am Senior Inspector Lei Weidong of the Crime Unit of the Central Police Station. You have the right to remain silent, but based on what you said..."
Lei Weidong's words made Mr. Yao a little confused, and he subconsciously said, "I am a serious businessman, why do you arrest me? I want to see a lawyer."
"Whatever." Lei Weidong shrugged, "Your counterfeit banknote factory in the parking lot downstairs has been sealed. The things inside are evidence against you. It's useless for you to quibble."
"Ah Hao, you betrayed me."
Mr. Yao knew that he was finished. Everything had been investigated by the police. Looking for a lawyer could only reduce his sentence by a few years. It was impossible to escape from the crime. He could only glare at Song Zihao and Xiao Ma Ge who brought Lei Weidong in.
He had always been worried about Song Zihao, and originally wanted to kill him in a roundabout way, but he didn't expect that Song Zihao would take advantage of him and call the police.
"Uncle Yao, Xiao Ma and I were arrested at the transaction site. The factory was sealed before we even returned. They investigated us clearly. Even my brother's application for the police academy knew about it."
Song Zihao could only smile bitterly in response to Mr. Yao's anger.
"Find out everything. Lei Weidong is so powerful." Mr. Yao was stunned by Song Zihao's words.
"If you have any questions, please go back to the police station, or you can find a lawyer." Lei Weidong said, "Let the Hengda Company's accounts be sealed, and the company's employees are temporarily on leave, waiting for the court to handle it."
"yes sir!"

"You don't know who the person who sold you the engraving is. You only know that the person's nickname is Painter." Lei Weidong interrogated Mr. Yao in the interrogation room of the police station.
Like Chen Chao, Mr. Yao had no idea who the person selling the engravings was or what the purpose behind it was. He had even lost contact with the person because it had been so long.
As for the weapons in his hand, Mr. Yao said that Song Zihao bought them from Uncle Hai.
Lei Weidong interrogated Song Zihao for this and proved Mr. Yao's words.
Uncle Hai is the largest arms seller in Hong Kong. Its arms are supplied not only to Hong Kong, but also to some surrounding countries and regions.
It's just that because of his low-key behavior and complicated interests behind him, the people of Eagle Country acquiesce to him.
"Uncle Biao, this is the entire situation of the counterfeit banknote case. Most of the middlemen who dealt with Song Zihao have been identified.
It's just that the other party is overseas and can only be arrested by Interpol. As for the source of the arms and engravings..." After sorting out the information, Lei Weidong went to Uncle Biao to report the work.
"Very good!" Looking at the information in his hand, Uncle Biao nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's put it aside in advance about arms and engravings. The middlemen are the business of the United States and Interpol and have nothing to do with us. What you have to do now is to cooperate with the propaganda department and let the citizens of Xiangjiang know that we have busted the international counterfeit banknote syndicate.
Just doing many things well is not enough, people must know about it. Whether the director can go further this time depends on..."
------
Police headquarters.
"Director, are there some troubles?" Looking at the information in his hand, Deputy Director Charlie knocked on the door of the director's office.
"Is this a matter of selecting the director of the Central Police Station?" Looking at Charlie who came in, the director knew what he meant without opening his mouth.
The deputy director of the Central Police Station is the deputy director. It is better to let one of your own take the position than an outsider like Lin Meng. Therefore, if there is anyone at the headquarters who has the biggest objection to Lin Meng's appointment, it is none other than deputy director Charlie.
"Yes, Director, the impact of the Central Police Station's crackdown on the counterfeit banknote syndicate is really great. It is not only praised by Hong Kong, but also by beautiful countries.
Also, the Yao Shi Group has been in the counterfeit banknote business for such a long time, and can be said to be rich in wealth. Their boss, Boss Yao, alone is worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, not counting the assets of Hengda Company itself.
All of this has been confiscated as stolen money. Although the police force cannot withdraw it directly, after it is turned over, next year's budget will be at least several hundred million Hong Kong dollars more.
This has made many people in the headquarters express satisfaction with Lin Meng and support him in taking the position of director of the Central Police Station. It will be difficult for Jim to compete with him, unless you, Director..."
"You mean, let me use the director's veto power to send Jim to the post." The director frowned and said.
The veto power of the director is an unspoken rule that is accepted by all parties in order to maintain the dignity of the director. However, few directors use this right, because once you use it, it means that you have become a minority in the police force.
I can't control the police force.
"The power of veto is a trump card, and it's not worth using for such a trivial matter. I just hope that the director will let the wind out and say that you may use this power to let those wallflowers..."
Charlie knew that the director could not use his veto power to fight for his own interests. He could only make subtle moves to get the director to side with him.
So he explained, "In recent years, as we have liberalized the Chinese police ranks, not to mention inspectors, there have been more and more police superintendents, and they have begun to erode the rights in our hands.
If it were just the police rank, I wouldn't say anything. The key is the position. The director is nothing at the headquarters, but below he is the emperor of the country.
In the past, this was meat in the bowl of us Eagle Country people. Now the Chinese have come to take action. Huang Bingyao in Wan Chai has made us very passive. If Lin Meng takes over again.
The emergence of a Chinese director can be said to be a special case and a personal reward for Huang Bingyao.
If there are two, it will be different.
This shows that we have lost control over the Chinese police. From now on, not only the director, but also the assistant director and even the deputy director will be Chinese."
"I know all what you said, but the impact of the counterfeit banknote case is too great. If he is not allowed to take charge, not to mention the beautiful country, it will be difficult to explain within the police force. There are more than 30,000 Chinese police officers. We must
Consider their feelings."
