1 Money Empire
Hong Kong Island, 1971.
A Boeing passenger plane approaches Kowloon Airport.
When it swooped past the Kowloon Walled City, it was less than a hundred meters away from the roof of the building, and residents in the walled city seemed to be able to touch the sky with their hands.
This is a classic picture left behind by the times.
Zhuang Shikai picked up the .38 pistol on the table, loaded six bullets into the magazine, and closed the magazine with a "click" with his backhand.
This is his now!
…
On August 15, 1945, the Anti-French XS Alliance won, the Axis Powers signed an unconditional surrender agreement, and the era of Japanese occupation of Hong Kong Island ended. The British government took over Hong Kong Island again in accordance with the Treaty of Nanjing, and Hong Kong Island ushered in a stage of great development.
Although the strong ships and cannons on the coastline have disappeared, the smoke in the air has not yet dissipated. The rapid development of the social environment has led to chaos in the social order of Hong Kong Island. Associations dominate the market, government and businessmen are connected, gambling stalls, horse stables, opium dens,
Smuggling, collecting protection fees, and collusion between black and white have formed a huge and dark money empire.
This empire reached its peak from the 1950s to the 1970s, and the most famous figures were undoubtedly the four detectives. Among the four detectives, Inspector Zonghua was the most famous.
On May 14, 1971, the "Prevention of Bribery Ordinance" was promulgated, and an anti-corruption department was added within the police force. The greatest significance of their existence is to share more.
…
Zhuang Shikai lifted up his shirt and inserted the pistol into the belt around his waist. His neck was covered with beads of sweat. His expression was obviously a little nervous. He was about to do something big.
Cai Yuanqi patted the waiter next to him on the shoulder and pretended to be relaxed: "Zhuang Zai, don't be nervous."
"You looked so majestic the day before yesterday when you beat six to one in Temple Street!"
Zhuang Shikai gave a sarcastic smile and explained helplessly: "Brother Qi, uniformed police don't rely on guns to beat people, they rely on sticks."
He took a long breath and his expression became much more relaxed.
In the gun room, more than a dozen police officers were holding guns, loading ammunition, and doing the same actions as him.
Everyone looked very nervous, but most of them suppressed their emotions, causing the gun room to be filled with solemn murderous aura.
Zhuang Shikai glanced at everyone with his gun and remembered everyone's appearance in his heart.
The time went back two months ago, when he was still a student at a university in Guangdong Province. After falling asleep watching a movie one night, he woke up and traveled to Hong Kong Island in the 1970s.
His initial identity in this world was a uniformed policeman who was responsible for patrolling the streets with a wooden stick called a baton.
He had only traveled through time for a few days and had heard the legendary story of "Lei Luo" dozens of times, and then he was sure that he had entered the movie world.
Next, with the help of a plug-in system, he caught the big thief several times in just two months, performed well, and became a well-known uniformed policeman near Yau Ma Tei.
The "superpower watch" on his wrist is his plug-in.
Whenever a criminal appears or a superior gives an order, corresponding tasks will be issued.
Capturing or killing the mission target will gain a certain amount of experience points.
Experience points can be used to improve the level, and each time you upgrade a level, you will get an attribute point.
Through short-term practice, attribute points can be added to a certain attribute, greatly improving one's physical fitness.
Of course, the system has very strict requirements for him. The trick of finding someone to blame will not work. Only catching the real criminal will count.
As for whether the criminal was paid to be released afterwards, that is none of his business.
"Brother, have you noticed that everyone is from Chaozhou?" After observing the surroundings, Zhuang Shikai heard many people communicating privately, and suddenly spoke in Chaozhou dialect to Cai Yuanqi next to him.
He and Cai Yuanqi were both in military uniforms of the Yau Ma Tei Police Station. They had a good relationship and would patrol, eat and smoke together. When he first traveled through time, he often borrowed words from Cai Yuanqi.
Moreover, Cai Yuanqi was several years older than him. He was a good person and took good care of him at work. Cai Yuanqi pressed the handle of his gun with a calm expression, glanced at him and said: "We are all Chaozhou brothers from various jurisdictions. This time things may happen." Brother Luo asked us to do it."
Lei Luo is the pride of the Chaozhou people. He has become one of the four major detectives in Hong Kong Island, and is now promoted to Chief Inspector Hua. He usually takes good care of the Chaozhou people, and the Chaozhou people are famous for their unity and loyalty. In addition, here It's the Central District Police Station in Lei Luo's territory. In fact, it's not difficult for everyone to guess who the big boss behind the scenes is.
Of course, there are first generation, second generation, and even third generation of Chaozhou people whose ancestors immigrated during the Qing Dynasty here. However, the years within three generations cannot wear away the sense of identity of the fellow countrymen. What’s more, now the big circle of Hong Kong Island, Vietnam Gang, Fuqing Gang has various factions, and it is impossible to survive without a group. This makes fellow villagers a natural bond of trust, solidly binding a group of people into a community of interests.
After Cai Yuanqi finished speaking, he lowered his voice and asked solemnly: "Brother Zai, didn't you tell me that after this is done, we will all be transferred to plainclothes?"
"I said it." Zhuang Shikai pressed his gun and nodded, knowing that the only person who could do such a generous thing was Brother Luo. Even now, everyone is wearing civilian clothes and holding police guns, and they are already real plainclothes detectives.
The uniformed police officers of the Chinese in Hong Kong have a low status. A wooden stick is the standard police equipment. Only the "Criminal Investigation Division" established by the Chinese, also commonly known as "plainclothes police", are qualified to carry guns.
In contrast, uniformed police officers such as Gui Lao and Indians are equipped with guns. However, Hong Kong Island is a Chinese Hong Kong Island after all. Gui Lao police officers only use force to intimidate. If we want to truly govern Hong Kong Island, we must rely on the Chinese.
As a result, the Criminal Investigation Department has become a low-level violent power agency. The plainclothes captain in each jurisdiction is known as the "detective". The largest is no more than a sergeant-level sergeant, but he has jurisdiction over a district, both black and white, and ghosts. Superintendent Lao’s qualifications for equal dialogue.
To be more realistic, with the gun in hand, the plainclothes detectives can get twice as many accounts as the uniformed team every month. For ordinary uniformed police officers in the police, they can be transferred from the military uniform to the plainclothes team. , he has already been promoted and made a fortune.
With such an opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, no one would be willing to give it up! Zhuang Shikai has integrated into this world. In order to protect himself, he must struggle in the times and fight for his destiny like everyone else!
Anyway, here we are, there are cheats, you can live a cool and domineering life without promotion and domineering. Isn’t it too sorry for your fate? It’s just a good time to appreciate the style of this era and see what a money empire is!
Lardboy held a black briefcase under his arm, walked into the room, clapped his hands and said, "Brothers are here! We are all Chaozhou people. Brother Luo wants to ask everyone to help with a big thing."
"Hehehe, everyone knows this person. If we kill him tonight, Brother Luo will not treat you badly." Lardboy handed a photo to the police officers for circulation. Everyone who saw the photo looked at the police officers and their expressions suddenly changed. Change, Lardboy explained with a simple and honest expression: "You are all new faces, it is better for you to do this thing. After doing this, you will all be transferred to Brother Luo as plainclothes, and you will also get a sum of money." , I hope everyone can help Brother Luo."
In this era, corruption and collusion between police and criminals have long been the rule. There are several gambling stalls and opium dens on each street. How much does it cost to pay for a small stall and how much does it cost for a large dance hall? All prices are clearly marked and accounts are paid monthly. No.
Vendors pay the taxes to the tax bureau, but those doing business in off-the-grid businesses have to hand over everything to the police.
The police all listen to Brother Luo. Brother Luo will not come forward to collect the debt in person. The person who collects the debt on behalf of Brother Luo is Lardboy. He is Brother Luo's spokesperson, and what he means is what Brother Luo means.
