Chapter 423: Questioning by the Political Department
"We are here this time to invite Sir Zhang to the Political Department to discuss a few issues. I wonder if Sir Zhang is free?"
Zhang Pin couldn't help but sneered when he heard that the Political Department had invited him to drink tea for the first time.
"What if I say I'm not free?"
Then, before Lu Zhilian could speak, he added another sentence.
"You have to go there even if you don't have time, right? I understand your rules, but you go out and wait for me for half an hour. I have to arrange things."
"Sir Zhang is so proud that he asked our political department to wait for half an hour. Are you the commissioner of Wan Chai Police Station? There are so many things to arrange. Don't think we didn't get to know you before we came!"
After being laughed at by Zhang Pin continuously, an investigator behind Lu Zhilian couldn't bear it anymore.
"Haha, kid, you are new to the industry. You chose the wrong department. You are so restless. I think military uniform is more suitable for you."
Zhang Pin glanced at the other party, originally he didn't want to speak, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he still spoke to the other party.
However, Lu Zhilian smiled for the first time after hearing his words: "Okay, let's try the coffee from Wan Chai Police Station first."
After speaking, the other party took the initiative to go out and then approached Liu Baoqiang.
"Sir Liu, Sir Zhang wants us to wait. How about you arrange a place for us and send us a few cups of coffee."
"Lao Lu, what are you doing...forget it, go to the office over there, the coffee will wait."
Liu Baoqiang was a little confused. He knew Lu Zhilian. The two graduated from the same police academy. Lu Zhilian initially entered the Internal Investigation Section, but he was transferred to the Political Department at some point.
But in the end he didn't ask, because since Lu Zhilian had already come to the door, of course it was impossible to reveal any information to him.
Zhang Pin said that asking the other party to wait for half an hour was really not an excuse.
Because he knew that when the political department came to visit, he didn't even need to think about it. It must be Zhuo Jingquan who was behind it.
Moreover, the other party did not follow the routine and directly asked people from the Political Department to take him back, so there must be other actions in the follow-up.
Zhang Pin has already made plans that he will not be able to return to the police station in a short time, so of course he needs to make arrangements for the follow-up matters.
He first called Zhou Xingxing and asked him to strengthen the security of the villa.
"Tou, I'm very busy now. I have to supervise them to replace the glass. Miss Yang's boyfriend called just now. He ordered a batch of bulletproof glass and replaced the glass in the entire villa with bulletproof glass. Don't worry about safety issues.
."
"That's good. Let Amin go back early. I'll go to her house to find her tonight."
Then he called Li Xiuxian, Liu Baoqiang and other team leaders to come in, and asked Song Zijie to take charge of coordination, while everyone else performed their duties.
After all arrangements were completed, Zhang Pin stood up and walked out of the office.
"It's been a long time, let's go."
Lu Zhilian and others quickly stood up.
"Coffee or tea?"
"Just plain water will do."
In an interrogation room of the Political Department, Zhang Pin picked up the boiled water in front of him and took a sip of it. He was a little dry when he was busy arranging things.
"Sir Zhang, to be honest, I have done so many investigations and you are the calmest person I have ever seen."
Lu Zhilian was a little amused. He personally led the team for questioning this time.
The investigators on the side were a little unconcerned, and even looked like they were watching a show.
He was severely frightened at the Wan Chai Police Station before, and now he desperately wants to regain his place here.
After all, no matter how prestigious Zhang Pin is in the Wan Chai Police Station, this is the territory of the Political Department. Anyone who enters here must be coiled up even if he is a dragon, and he must lie down well even if he is a tiger. No one can escape unscathed.
"Why, you like to see other people lose their minds. I'm sorry, I'm a very good person, so I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."
Zhang Pin put down the cup in his hand with a smile, but although his face was calm and relaxed, his heart was a little nervous.
Having been on the job for such a long time, he is certainly no stranger to the famous name of the Political Department.
Although the Political Department's prestige is no longer what it used to be because of the 1997 incident, as a secret service agency, there are generally agreed-upon procedures for doing things.
Under normal circumstances, when the Political Department wants to investigate a person, there are usually three stages.
The first stage is to visit the client for the first time, notify the person concerned, and ask for some information.
The second stage is to invite the other party back to the Political Department, interrogate and collect evidence, and suspend the other party's position.
The final stage is to implement the arrest operation, remove the person from his position and then report the situation according to the situation.
The reason for this is that the first point is to calm people's hearts, and at the same time, it also prevents the people under investigation from jumping over the wall in a hurry.
To calm people's hearts is of course not to calm the parties concerned, but to calm the people around them.
The first visit to notify the person concerned is not really just about informing the other party, but rather sending a signal to the outside world.
Tell everyone that the Political Department is going to investigate this guy, and everyone must be prepared to draw a clear line. At the same time, if you have information about the other party, you can also talk to someone from the Political Department.
In this case, if the person concerned is sensible, it is likely that it will end at this point, and the Political Department will only come to warn.
After confirming the evidence, the second step is to bring back questioning and investigation, which is to inform everyone that we already have something to do with this person. Those who are related to this person must quickly find their own backers to find a way to escape.
.
As for the third step, of course there is no need to say more. This is already the last step, to drive out the opponent. At this time, if there are still people who are stubborn and stand on the same front as the opponent, then the Political Department will not mind taking more credit.
It stands to reason that if the other party wants to find Zhang Pin, they usually just inform him when they first come and then check some of his information.
Now the other party brought him back for questioning for the first time, obviously preparing to touch him.
As for why Zhuo Jingquan can command the Political Department, of course it is because the Political Department itself is under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Island Police according to the system.
Especially when the ancestors decided to leave after 1997, the Political Department, which was originally a secret service agency, became embarrassed.
Obviously, in order to prevent himself from losing his job in the future, Lu Zhilian directly attacked Zhang Pin after hearing the order from Zhuo Jingquan, the current deputy director and probably the next first brother.
When Lu Zhilian heard Zhang Pin's words, his face remained expressionless.
He was holding a document in his hand, flipping through several pages in succession, and took out a photo from one of the folders and placed it on the table.
"Sir Zhang, do you know this person?"
"know."
Zhang Pin looked at it and had no intention of denying it.
"Then do you know the identity of the other party? I mean the one from the mainland?"
Zhang Pin raised his head and looked at each other. The person in the photo was Li Zhengyang.
"I know, but he was hired as a bodyguard by Fang Shichang, the chairman of Haitian Group, and the relevant procedures were handled by him. All I know is that he currently lives in Yang Leer's house."
Lu Zhilian nodded, Zhang Pin's words seemed to have completely removed the other party.
But since he brought the other party back directly for questioning, he must have got some other information.
"But Sir Zhang, as far as I know, you and this Li Zhengyang had a relationship as early as a year ago. I heard that it was you who helped him complete the departure procedures. I don't know the last time he came to Hong Kong Island.
What is it for?"
Zhang Pin did not speak, but lay back to make himself more comfortable.
"Director Lu, there is no need to say these words in front of me. If there is any evidence, just bring it out. If not, then don't waste everyone's time."
Zhang Pin was not surprised that the other party was able to find out Li Zhengyang's previous identity in such a short period of time.
From the moment he saw the other party's photo, he knew that Zhuo Jingquan must have launched an investigation into the other party on the first day Li Zhengyang came to Hong Kong.
At the same time, I also had some confidence that I would bring myself back today.
I have to say that the opponent's speed is really very fast.
When Lu Zhilian heard Zhang Pin's words, his expression remained unchanged and he closed the information in his hand.
"Okay, since Sir Zhang is in a hurry, I won't go around in circles with you."
As he spoke, he picked up another piece of information.
"As far as I know, this Li Zhengyang used the alias Xiaofu and his identity in Hong Kong was a killer. Moreover, he was arrested and returned to the police station for a murder case. Was it you who made the decision to let him go?"
"I don't know the other party's identity, let alone..."
"Sir Zhang, you just need to answer whether you want to let him go."
Lu Zhilian interrupted Zhang Pin for the first time.
Zhang Pin's eyes met the other person's, and after a moment, he nodded.
"Yes, I agreed to the other party's bail at the beginning."
There is no need to lie about this kind of thing, because there is a record of handling the case.
When Lu Zhilian heard his answer, he nodded, and then looked at his subordinates.
"Did you write it down?"
The investigator from the Political Department also had a smile on his face, nodded, and wrote down.
"Excuse me, at 9 o'clock in the evening on a certain day in a certain year, there was a gunfight in Tsukamoto Building. In the end, you brought Li Zhengyang down and said that the other party helped you kill Tsukamoto Eiji and others?"
Lu Zhilian pressed forward step by step, and Zhang Pin frowned. He wanted to explain, but at the same time he knew better that since the other party had investigated, he would obviously not listen to his explanation.
"right."
So in the end he just nodded without saying a single word.
"On a certain day and night of a certain month of a certain year, there was a robbery at the Cointreau Hotel. According to your transcript afterwards, it was said that you dispatched the police from Wan Chai specifically after receiving a call from Li Zhengyang?"
"right."
Zhang Pin continued to answer.
"Sir Zhang, we have reason to doubt you. In the previous cases, you relied on the power behind the other party to calmly complete them. There are some ulterior secrets behind these cases."
Lu Zhilian was obviously very confident in the pace of his questioning, and he spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly. Everything was under his control.
"No, Director Lu, I am also very curious. It seems that investigating cases is not the job of your political department."
Zhang Pin did not expect that Zhuo Jingquan was worthy of being able to sit in the position of deputy director. This guy was more powerful than he imagined.
It seems that he also knows that his rise to the top is all due to his hard work. If he wants to touch himself, ordinary excuses are simply impossible.
Even if you have contact with the mainland, you may not be able to defeat yourself. On the contrary, if you are sure that your previous cases were directed and acted by yourself, then your golden body will be defeated without any attack.
But Zhang Pin knew better that it was even more impossible to overturn his previous achievements.
Lu Zhilian seemed to have guessed what Zhang Pin was thinking, or he himself knew what the question was about.
After hearing his negative answer, he put away the information and did not continue to ask any more questions.
Instead, he stood up and stretched out his hand to him.
"Sir Zhang, thank you for your cooperation. We will record your answers truthfully. As you said, it is not the job of our political department to investigate the case. We will file this inquiry and report it."
Zhang Pin did not shake hands with the other party, nor even stood up.
"Record it truthfully, Director Lu. As far as I know, the questions you asked are highly misleading. According to the confession regulations, the transcripts of these inquiries need to be invalidated."
When Lu Zhilian saw that the outstretched hand was not accepted, he was not angry at all, as if he had expected it.
Hearing Zhang Pin's words, he took his hand back, then shrugged his shoulders before speaking again.
"If Sir Zhang feels that there is something wrong with our interview and confession, he can feel free to complain to the relevant departments and leaders.
If our superiors give us instructions, we will come back to you and ask again.
But before that, Sir Zhang, please hand over your ID card, passport, and police officer ID card.
Please do not leave Hong Kong Island during this period. We may ask you again at any time. We hope that your phone number will remain open and that you will be available at any time.
If Sir Zhang does not cooperate, we reserve the means to take coercive measures."
Hearing Lu Zhilian's words, Zhang Pin almost laughed angrily.
But it's obviously not his style to talk nonsense, and Lu Zhilian's last words are a bit interesting.
The other party said that they were allowed to complain at will, and that they were also waiting for instructions from their superiors. They seemed to have a tough attitude, but in fact they were secretly saying that everything they were doing now was based on instructions from their superiors.
At this time, who would come up with these things to talk about?
The MI6 of the ancestral family would definitely not care whether a little guy like him moved to the mainland or not, so it was 100% Zhuo Jingquan.
"Okay, but it's best to keep the certificate for me. If I need to reissue it then, I may not have time."
Zhang Pin gave the other party a thoughtful look, then took out his ID and placed it on the table.
"Sir Zhang, don't worry. The physical evidence storage department of the Political Department is still doing its job very well. As long as you come to pick it up, I will make sure that the things are still there."
Lu Zhilian gestured to his men to put things away and spoke at the same time.
Judging from what he meant, it was obvious that Zhang Ping felt that it was difficult to protect himself, and whether he could come and get his certificate was another matter.
"Sir Zhang, the exit is over here, do you want me to see you off?"
After asking, Lu Zhilian's attitude actually improved a lot.
However, Zhang Pin shook his head and walked directly to the elevator entrance.
