Especially since Chief Wei represents the Governor, if he nods and agrees, it is now a critical moment for the handover of Hong Kong Island. If the news is leaked, the Governor may not get any benefits.
"Sir Zhang, what do you think of this matter?"
Seeing that the ICAC had no intention of compromising, Chief Wei could only look at Zhang Pin, who was doing nothing.
The reason why the other party was invited to this ICAC meeting obviously had a purpose.
"The purpose of my visit this time is to seek an explanation from the Independent Commission Against Corruption. The reason why Sir Huang from the Commercial Criminal Investigation Division went abroad was because he personally needed to perform a special task, and there were rumors in the market that he was being investigated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Therefore,
It has nothing to do with absconding in fear of crime, Director Yu, Director Lu, this is what happened."
Zhang Pin was named by Chief Wei, so he could no longer stay out of the matter.
The reason why he came here was just as he said.
As one of the senior officers of the police force, Superintendent Huang Wenbin was invited to have tea by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and then left Hong Kong Island directly without any news.
So the Hong Kong Island media naturally began to publicize it and began to attack the corruption and bribery of the Hong Kong Island Police Force.
Regarding this matter, the Hong Kong Police Force itself is not actually ready to clarify.
Because this matter is actually a fact, it is completely thankless to explain it. But earlier today, the police force suddenly received a call from Chief Wei, who invited the police force to send someone to the Independent Commission Against Corruption, saying that he could help clarify Mr. Huang
The matter of escape.
Cai Yuanqi, the first brother, heard Chief Wei's suggestion, so he sent Zhang Pin over.
Firstly, after Huang Wenbin left Hong Kong, he specifically talked to Zhang Pin, and they chatted for a long time.
Secondly, even Cai Yuanqi knew that Chief Wei's invitation to the police force must have some unspeakable purpose. He sent Zhang Pin out just to get rid of this hot potato.
Regarding Huang Wenbin's departure from Hong Kong, Zhang Pin gave the excuse that Huang Wenbin had received an unexpected fortune, so he was preparing to retire early and leave Hong Kong Island. He even helped Huang Wenbin hand over the other party's handwritten resignation application.
Zhang Pin didn't know whether the people above believed the report and application submitted by Zhang Pin, but the police force still helped Huang Wenbin go through the formal resignation procedures.
So in fact, it stands to reason that Huang Wenbin is no longer a part of the Hong Kong Island Police Force.
But Zhang Pin did not explain it in front of several people from the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
When they heard Zhang Pin's question, Lu Zhilian and Yu Chu both chose to remain silent.
They deliberately wanted to refute Zhang Pin's words.
But now the situation is very clear.
Mrs. Fan and Chief Wei, as leaders of the ICAC, have openly expressed their opposition to their continued investigation.
If the two of them refute Zhang Pin now, it would be equivalent to standing against all three of them. Under such circumstances, it can be said that it is completely impossible for them to continue investigating the Z Fund.
But for them to agree with Zhang Pin's statement, both of them were a little reluctant from the bottom of their hearts. After all, if they succumbed to Zhang Pin now, then they might as well just listen to Commissioner Luo and Chief Wei and give up the investigation of the Z Fund.
It stands to reason that whether it is Huang Wenbin's project or the Z Foundation's project, it involves corruption. With Lu Zhilian's ungrateful character, it is only right to use it to oppose Zhang Pin and Chief Wei at the same time.
But first of all, Lu Zhilian just hates corruption and is not a fool.
Secondly, looking at Zhang Pin's attitude when speaking now, it is obvious that there has been a turn for the better, and Huang Wenbin has already left Hong Kong. Even if he investigates more clues, judging from the fact that Hong Kong Island has not signed extradition regulations with any place, it is impossible to go out to pursue him.
Escape is simply unrealistic.
So silence is their biggest concession.
"I have heard a saying: Where there is corruption, there is an ICAC. Now that there is a high possibility that there is a problem with the Z Fund, if the ICAC does not continue to investigate, then is this sentence actually a slogan?
, Commissioner Luo?”
Lu Zhilian and Yu Chu's silence really paid off.
After Zhang Pin was sure that they would not continue to pursue Huang Wenbin's accusation, he immediately gave the two an assist.
"I'm sorry, I don't know much about other things besides investigating crimes. I only heard about the working methods of the ICAC, which may not be correct. Our police force actually also shouts slogans, such as if anything is found, it must be broken.
, in fact, eucalyptus can be broken anywhere, right?"
Zhang Pin first used the slogan of the ICAC to talk about the matter, and after he finished speaking, he pretended to be innocent.
"Sir Zhang is right, if there is any evidence, it must be investigated. In this way, Z Fund will be listed in six days.
During these six days, if you really find evidence of their corruption and fraud, that will naturally be the best, and we can take action quickly to protect the citizens and the property of the care fund from loss."
"But if you find some specious evidence after six days, then the share price of Z Fund will definitely fall sharply. The money invested by the Care Fund and the public will be equivalent to being thrown into the sea and will be wasted. No matter what happens then,
Neither the media nor the citizens will give up, so who will be responsible for this mess when the time comes."
Commissioner Wei was overwhelmed by Zhang Pin's words, and it was hard to stop him.
So he proposed his final trump card.
"Understood, there are only six days. If we can't find it, we'll be fine. No one needs to take the blame."
When Lu Zhilian heard what Chief Wei said, his face suddenly turned ugly.
In addition, this deadline was obtained by compromising to Zhang Pin and giving up investigating Huang Wenbin's case, so the tone of his words was somewhat harsh.
"I'm sorry, six days is very precious. If there is nothing else, I will go out to check the situation first. Please excuse me."
After Lu Zhilian finished speaking, he stood up and pushed away his chair and walked out.
Chief Wei and Commissioner Luo's expressions suddenly became very ugly, but Zhang Pin was not surprised by Lu Zhilian's attitude.
Although the two have different positions, he still appreciates Lu Zhilian's attitude towards corruption and fraud.
Although he himself is not a good person, he still likes to live in an environment where other people around him are good people.
"Director Yu..."
Commissioner Luo, as the top officer of the ICAC, was obviously very angry at Lu Zhilian's attitude, so she turned to look at Lu Zhilian's boss.
"Z Storm, you guys, let's name this operation after Z Storm. I heard that a typhoon is coming to Hong Kong Island in the past few days, and I don't know which storm will be more powerful.
"
Yu Chu stood up while talking: "Guys, I have a meeting to hold later, so I'll excuse you now."
"Mrs. Fan, all of your subordinates are very capable."
Being scorned one after another makes Chief Wei, a proud man who has always been praised by others, unable to get out of his anger.
So he could only let Commissioner Luo see his face.
When Commissioner Luo heard what Chief Wei said, the corners of his mouth twitched and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Z Storm, that's a nice name. You two, I have something to do, so I'm sorry."
Zhang Pin didn't care about this inexplicable meeting, so he commented with a smile, got up and left.
"Sir Zhang, can we talk alone?"
Zhang Pin left the conference room and found that Lu Zhilian was still waiting here and did not leave.
"I want to ask you a favor."
Lu Zhilian saw that Zhang Pin didn't move, so he went straight to the point.
"What you're doing is illegal!"
Zhang Pin was a little curious about what Lu Zhilian was asking for help, so the two of them went to another conference room.
After hearing Lu Zhilian's plan, Zhang Pin kindly reminded him.
"I heard that Mrs. Luo was paralyzed by a stroke. In order to save his wife, Luo Yong has invited almost all experts in this field in Europe and the United States over the years, but to no avail.
As far as I know, Sir Zhang, you have a good relationship with the mainland.
So I was thinking, could you help contact a few experts from the Mainland and help Mrs. Luo to consult at that time.
Because I am worried that Mr. Luo may be happy in vain because he is old.
So before seeing a doctor, we quietly transferred Mrs. Luo away without telling him.
After reading it, we will inform him of the result.
During this period, we will also arrange a professional nursing team to take care of Mrs. Luo."
Lu Zhilian quickly explained Zhang Pin's reminder.
"Kidnapping them together, when you say that, it seems like it's really for the good of the two of them."
Zhang Pin was a little surprised when he heard Lu Zhilian's sophistry, and he looked at the other party seriously.
He now somewhat understands why Lu Zhilian was able to assume the position of Chief Investigation Director in the ICAC in just a few years.
Judging from the other party's attitude and methods of doing things, there is nothing pedantic about it, and they are very flexible.
"I feel ashamed to say that I learned all this from Sir Zhang. When facing criminals, we must be more cunning than them. And as long as the results are good, we can actually be less pedantic about the process."
When Lu Zhilian said this, he looked at Zhang Pin without hesitation.
"If that's the case, shouldn't you pay me some tuition?"
Regarding Lu Zhilian's words, Zhang Pin directly regarded him as a compliment.
"Haha, Sir Zhang is not afraid of being invited to tea when he pays his tuition at the ICAC, but I can treat you to a lunch."
When Lu Zhilian heard Zhang Pin's disinterested words, he also laughed.
"Well, since that hospital is not under my jurisdiction anyway, I can't take care of it. As for contacting experts, let's wait until the typhoon passes."
Zhang Pin did not directly refuse Lu Zhilian's request, but he seemed to remember that Luo Zhilian's wife was going to die soon.
In addition, there have been typhoons in Hong Kong Island in the past few days, so it is possible that we cannot wait for the experts to come over.
"Thank you. By the way, there is some information here. Sir Zhang, why don't you take it back and dispose of it."
After Lu Zhilian received Zhang Pin's permission, he immediately felt much more at ease.
By now, Yuzi had found out that Lu Zhilian knew that it was impossible to get the information he wanted if he didn't use conventional means, so he started to use other means.
Lu Zhilian was afraid that his special methods would be discovered in advance due to his reputation as the crime nemesis. When the time came, the others would not find out the results of the investigation, but he would be investigated instead.
So he deliberately waited for Zhang Pin outside the door and made a deal with him.
"Keep these things for yourself."
When Zhang Pin saw that the document bag that Lu Zhilian took out was the one that Luo Minsheng had given to him before, he waved his hand indifferently, then turned around and left the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
Zhang Pin has naturally seen the photos and videos in the memory card.
However, Huang Wenbin has already left Hong Kong Island, so neither the photos nor the videos are of any use.
Lu Zhilian is not stupid either, so it is naturally impossible for him to leak these things casually.
So it doesn't matter whether Zhang Pin is taken or not.
It can even be said that it is more meaningful for Lu Zhilian or the Independent Commission Against Corruption behind him to hold this thing than for it to fall into the hands of Zhang Pin.
If Zhang Pin takes it, if the Independent Commission Against Corruption or Luk Zhilian still has a backup, when the news is leaked, the Hong Kong Island Police Force will be accused of covering up one of their own.
Now that Zhang Pin is not involved and the evidence is in the hands of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the police will be able to express their ignorance.
Although Zhang Pin didn't know what Lu Zhilian was thinking, it was impossible for him to step into this trap.
Lu Zhilian moved very quickly.
The next day, when Luo Luodong came to the hospital to visit his wife as usual, he opened the door and found that the hospital bed was empty.
He hurried to the nurse's desk to ask.
"A few people showed your signed authorization and said they wanted to arrange for your wife to be transferred to another hospital. Did they just leave?"
The hospital staff were also surprised when they heard Luo Deyong's inquiry.
When Luo Luo Yong heard the staff's words, his expression suddenly changed. When he ran out panting, he happened to see an ambulance driving away. Just when he was about to get in the car to chase, a motorcycle suddenly
Coming roaring.
"Hey, old man, Boss Hu asked me to greet you. He said you should be more honest these days."
The man on the motorcycle wore a helmet, spoke in a lowered voice, and then rode away.
When Luo Luo Yong heard Boss Hu's name, he immediately took out his cell phone in a hurry and dialed Hu Zhiyong's number.
"Hurry up!"
What Luo Zhilian didn't know was that while he was on the phone, in a car next to him that had been converted into a studio inside, Lu Zhilian was directing his men to monitor his phone calls.
The man who had just been riding a motorcycle was quietly entering from the side. He took off his helmet and turned out to be one of Lu Zhilian's investigators.
"Boss Hu, I have signed as you requested and even helped you prove it. Why don't you still believe me and want to take my wife away?"
Luo Luo Yong directly questioned Hu Zhiyong on the phone.
"I don't know what you are talking about. I have a meeting right now. I will contact you after the meeting, or you can come directly to my office to talk."
Hearing Luo Deyong's accusation, Hu Zhiyong was completely baffled, and he hung up the phone decisively and asked the other party to come to his office for an interview.
"Hey, this matter has nothing to do with my wife. If something happens to her... Hey! Hey, hey, hey?"
Luo Zhiyong was about to threaten Hu Zhiyong, but the other party had already hung up the phone.
