210 Searching the Manor (1/5)
That evening.
Zhuang Shikai returned to Canada from the Kowloon Police Station and was having dinner in the manor mansion.
Two cars stopped at the gate of the manor. Huo Qilin, wearing a suit, opened the door and got out of the car, looking up at the gate of the manor's mansion.
I saw that the gate was a circular arch, and the two characters "manor" were carved on the stone wall next to it, in black traditional Chinese characters, majestic.
Luxury houses on Hong Kong Island have the custom of naming and engraving them.
"The Manor" is no exception.
Two simple black characters carved on the stone wall can't help but reveal the style of a wealthy family.
"arrive."
Huo Qilin adjusted his collar, narrowed his eyes, and held a court search warrant in his hand with a very serious expression.
"You go ahead and ring the doorbell."
Huo Qilin said aloud, Han Zhibang nodded, walked to the arch and pressed the doorbell.
There are eight people in Group A. They all look solemn at this moment. They are all here.
This is the first time that icac has taken action against the "Four Detectives" in a formal operation.
Although it is just an investigation and evidence collection, the meaning behind it is extremely important. It represents a new level of struggle between the two parties, actively involving the highest levels of both parties, and reaching the point of bloodshed.
What's more, if you want to take action against the "Four Detectives", you must act carefully and cautiously.
Fire Qilin is very brave if he dares to come.
"Ding Dang, Ding Dang."
The bells rang in the front yard and the nanny's room at the same time.
A servant heard the ringing sound and rushed to the archway.
"I would like to ask if the host has invited you to visit..."
The maid asked aloud.
Huo Qilin raised the search warrant, raised his eyebrows and said, "Does the court search warrant count as an invitation?"
"Open the door!"
"You can't stop me..."
When the maid saw the court seal on the search warrant, she showed a frightened expression and cooperated to open the iron door.
There's no way around it. The servants in the manor can be considered a group of people who have seen the world and have a certain confidence, but they are still a group of nannies in essence.
Facing the well-prepared and impressive icac, they felt timid inside.
After all, the servants all know what the boss does.
At this time, Huo Qilin held a court search warrant, which was indeed very intimidating.
Manor servants can maintain confidence against ordinary rich people and bureaucrats, but it is difficult for them to face icac.
This is how ordinary servants behave.
There is no need to be too demanding.
After the maid opened the iron door, she bowed politely, neither humble nor overbearing.
"please."
The host is dining in the manor. If the host wants to drive people away, he will naturally speak up later.
If the owner is not there, they will never open the door.
This is an important reason.
Huo Qilin, Han Zhibang and other investigators followed behind the maid, holding their chests and heads high as they walked on the stone path in the front yard.
Even though they all had their IDs hanging and serious expressions on their faces, it was the first time they came to the famous mansion in Hong Kong. When they entered the mansion, they were still a little shocked. They kept exchanging glances and secretly talking.
"This manor is luxurious."
"Oh shit…"
"The guy named Zhuang is greedy for how much money he has..."
"I heard that he started from scratch and still has a big business outside..."
"How much can you earn by doing a good job? It's so funny!"
A group of country roe deer who have never seen the world were slandering a certain handsome boy in their hearts. As a result, a certain handsome boy suddenly had rice stuffed between his teeth while eating, and suddenly felt that the shark fins and abalone in front of him were tasteless and ordinary.
"big boss."
"A visitor claiming to be from the Independent Commission Against Corruption came in, holding a court search warrant, and was already in the front yard."
At this time, a female housekeeper lowered her head and walked to the table. Carefully controlling the conversation distance, she lowered her head and spoke to Zhuang Shikai.
A Mei was sitting opposite Zhuang Zai. She could hear a little movement, put down her chopsticks, and looked at Zhuang Zai.
Zhuang Shikai nodded, picked up the teacup at hand and said, "Ask Miss Salena to come over."
"Within ten minutes."
The housekeeper responded softly: "Okay Mr. Zhuang."
The ICAC wants to investigate a senior detective, so relying on confessions is a very unwise choice.
Huo Qilin brought someone to the door, obviously wanting to search for evidence.
After all, the court search warrant is in hand.
As for which policeman Huo Qilin got his confession from? Yesterday, he brought back a large number of police officers, with high and low levels. This is tantamount to "death without evidence" and cannot be investigated.
When conducting a search, according to several ICAC law enforcement regulations, money and income must be searched first.
Because there is a problem with the "monetary income" target of the investigation, which is the most beneficial situation for the ICAC.
On the contrary, the ICAC basically has no right to investigate crimes such as murder and homicide.
The investigative powers in this area are in the hands of the police.
Therefore, it was necessary for him to call Salena over.
Of course, the ICAC can also rely on oral confessions to arrest people directly.
But don’t the four detectives want to lose face? Just because Huo Qilin dares to enter the home of the four detectives does not mean that he dares to take the four detectives out of the house.
Because the prestige and strength of the ICAC are still relatively low at present, Zhuang Shikai is not afraid of these morons.
If the ICAC really wants to take him away, then take a trip and see how the ICAC will end up when the brothers in Kowloon start a riot.
"Detective Zhuang, long time no see."
At this time, Huo Qilin walked into the building with his troops and greeted Zhuang Shikai with a smile.
"hehe."
Zhuang Shikai took a sip of tea, showed a smile, and then turned his eyes to him and said: "I just said that you were stuffing cold water between your teeth just now, so you are here?"
"Don't say that, Sir Zhuang, I have always respected you."
"Because I know that you are different from Brother Luo and the others. You are a thoughtful person..." Huo Qilin was polite, then picked up the search warrant in his hand and said loudly: "Mr. Zhuang shouldn't mind letting my brothers investigate.
Bar?"
"Look it up."
"Just don't disturb me while I'm eating." Zhuang Shikai put down his tea cup and picked up his chopsticks again.
Huo Qilin nodded slightly and immediately nodded to the subordinates next to him. Han Zhibang and others immediately dispersed, put on their white gloves as they walked, and began to carefully search the mansion according to the special training subjects, never sparing a corner.
Zhuang Shikai really moved his chopsticks again and continued eating.
Ami is also much more mature, wearing a floral skirt and showing no fear on her face.
Raised in our house, it will naturally develop the temperament of our hostess.
Live the Qi and nourish the body.
This sentence is not just talk, it is very true.
Huo Qilin came closer, held a chair next to the dining table with both hands, looked around at the seemingly simple meals, and then said in a non-simple way: "Sir Zhuang's food is really good."
"Abalone, shark's fin, sea urchin and tofu."
Zhuang Shikai said with a calm expression.
"Tired of eating."
"Would you like to sit down and eat something?"
"I remember you loved freeloading."
This is digging up the dark history of Fire Qilin and trying to slap Fire Qilin in the face.
Although the relationship between the two was quite harmonious before, ever since Huo Qilin entered the manor mansion today, there has been no room for hostility.
I saw Huo Qilin twitching the corner of his mouth and forcing a smile: "Hehehe, I heard that yesterday, Sir Zhuang, you, Brother Luo, Brother Gang and the others went to visit Chief Yan's house."
"You can come to my house next time. I will prepare delicious meals for you. I would like to express my gratitude to you for taking care of me in the past."
