In fact, just as Shabiao guessed, Zhou Xingxing lost interest in Shabiao after knowing that there were bigger fish outside the betting.
After all, Hong Kong Island itself does not impose severe penalties for crimes such as gambling, and Shabiao is an old man, so he certainly cannot leave too many loopholes.
Therefore, the two parties acted in a spirit of friendly and mutually beneficial cooperation. In the end, Shabiao agreed to help a few people connect and introduced them to Boss Hua as big customers who wanted to bet large sums of money.
Although An Ying knew Boss Hua's identity, Boss Hua wouldn't have been able to believe them easily without Sha Biao as a middleman to help introduce them.
"Shen Huashan?"
Zhang Pin was a little surprised when he heard Zhou Xingxing's report. He didn't expect that after only two days, Zhou Xingxing, who originally thought there would be no progress, would unexpectedly conduct a very thorough investigation.
Besides, what surprised him was Shen Huashan.
"Are you sure you are right? The biggest behind-the-scenes buyer in Hong Kong, Boss Hua, is Shen Huashan?"
When Zhang Pin asked Zhou Xingxing something, he was unusually serious.
This made Zhou Xingxing a little curious.
After all, he and Zhang Pin have known each other since they were young. When Zhang Pin went to Flying Tigers as an instructor, Zhou Xingxing happened to be training at the Flying Tigers training camp next door.
So Zhou Xingxing knew Zhang Pin to some extent. He knew that Zhang Pin actually seemed to be righteous, but in fact he didn't care about many things.
Although he has earned a reputation as a great evil nemesis, he actually does not hate evil so much.
Take this Jockey Club shooting for example.
Although Zhang Pin witnessed the killer killing with his own eyes, he did not pursue the case first, nor did he personally supervise the case. He just casually arranged it for Zhou Xingxing.
Of course, nominally this is Zhang Pin's confidence in Zhou Xingxing's ability, but based on Zhou Xingxing's understanding of Zhang Pin, it is actually that he is too lazy to care about these things.
In the past, although Zhou Xingxing encountered difficulties, he never took the initiative to ask for help because Zhang Pin promised to help him.
This time it was also because he had to cooperate with the Independent Commission Against Corruption, so Zhou Xingxing thought of coming to Zhang Pin to report.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Pin would become so serious after he said that the man behind this case was probably Shen Huashan.
"That's right. After we returned to the police station last night, we specifically investigated Shen Huashan's information. An Ying confirmed again that it was the same person."
Although Zhou Xingxing didn't understand why Zhang Pin paid so much attention to it, he was very confident in answering Zhang Pin's questions.
"I understand, your plan is good, but if you want to pretend to be a big customer, your temperament is probably a bit lacking."
After Zhang Pin heard Zhou Xingxing's plan, he thought for a few seconds and then finally made a decision.
"Well, this case has reached this stage, and the resistance behind it is no longer something you can easily handle. This time, I will play the role of the client and go to meet this boss Hua."
Zhang Pin looked at Zhou Xingxing and made a decision directly for him.
"Really, boss, if you take action personally, this case will definitely be settled."
Zhou Xingxing was overjoyed when he heard that Zhang Pin was going to take action himself.
He is not worried that Zhang Pin's joining will take away the credit. As a leader, as long as the case is solved, Zhang Pin will definitely have a share of the credit.
If he joins now, it will only help Zhou Xingxing. Even if the case is solved later, Zhou Xingxing may get more benefits when fighting for credit.
After all, if Zhang Pin does not personally participate, when he hands over the task, Zhou Xingxing's original superiors, superiors' superiors, and even the Commissioner of Wan Chai Police Station, etc., will all share the credit.
It is only natural that these people take the credit, because Zhou Xingxing's report on solving the case must be reported by these people before it reaches the top.
After the benefits have been shared by these people, how much will be left on the head of Zhou Xingxing depends on each of these leaders having a conscience.
However, Zhang Pin's personal participation was different.
With his current police rank, there is no need to share profits with some people in the middle before he can submit a report.
At the same time, because Zhang Pin's police rank is already very high, it is basically impossible for him to get a promotion or salary increase in a case like this.
So when the time comes, most of the credit for the case will fall on Zhou Xingxing, the police officer who is mainly responsible for the case.
For Zhang Pin, this credit may not be a big deal, but for Zhou Xingxing, it may save him several years of hard work.
He had also heard the news.
Hong Kong Island is already planning. Before the return, the police force will definitely undergo a purge. By then, there will be vacancies in some key positions.
Like Zhou Xingxing, if he can get a lot of credit, he will naturally have stronger competitiveness.
"Sir Zhang, long time no see!"
Lu Zhilian was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Pin appearing in the conference room.
"Sorry, I have been busy with work and didn't have time to receive Director Lu."
When Zhang Pin saw Lu Zhilian, he also laughed. He did not reveal the Z Foundation case that the other party was currently following. In fact, he had given them clues.
"It's understandable that Sir Zhang is busy with work, but we take the liberty of interrupting him."
When Lu Zhilian heard Zhang Pin's words, he immediately nodded in agreement. He would not say at all that he was beside Zhou Xingxing when he called Zhang Pin last night.
Early this morning, they came to Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station to wait for Zhang Pin.
Then Zhang Pin overslept as usual and arrived at the police station after ten o'clock, and then spent another half an hour eating breakfast. If Chen Jin hadn't asked Zhang Pin for something, he would have taken a nap directly before picking up Zhou Xingxing.
"I heard that your ICAC wants to cooperate with us on a case?"
Zhang Pin glanced at Lu Zhilian and did not reach out to stop hitting the smiling man because of his good attitude.
After all, the other party currently has an unfinished Z Fund case, so Lu Zhilian relied on Chen Jin, or Zhang Pinzi, to handle the case.
As a result, the other party now has a relationship with Sir Zhang through Zhou Xingxing. Zhang Pin is very suspicious that the other party took advantage of the previous case, so he took advantage again now.
"I came here this time. In addition to cooperating with the brother departments, I also want to say thank you to Sir Zhang. The Z Fund case is thanks to you. This is part of the information we investigated. Sir Zhang can take a look.
.”
Lu Zhilian didn't care that Zhang Pin didn't look good on him.
Due to the nature of its work, it is difficult for the Independent Commission Against Corruption to gain a good reputation anywhere.
Not to mention that Lu Zhilian also personally benefited from Zhang Pin, and he was willing to do so even if he looked at him a little bit.
"Our capabilities are still lacking, so I hope you can take action to help eliminate the risks. When the time comes, the closing report will be handed over by you, Sir Zhang."
It can be said that Lu Zhilian directly lowered his attitude to the lowest position and even gave up the right to close the case.
"When handling a case, if there is someone of use from our ICAC, whether it's a person or a force, as long as you ask, I will find a way to satisfy you."
Lu Zhilian not only gave up the initiative on the case, but even promised to bear the cost of handling the case himself.
Regarding Lu Zhilian's humble request for cooperation, it was hard for Zhang Pin to say anything if he wanted to find fault with him.
After all, to be honest, for everyone, handling cases is just for work and does not involve personal interests. The only thing that can be related to personal interests is the reputation and promotion and salary increase after handling the case.
Naturally, Sir Zhang didn't care about this.
So when he saw Lu Zhilian being so understanding, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"Everyone is here for work. Even if Director Lu doesn't speak, our police force will go all out. Let's take a look at the information first."
"Sir Zhang is right, everyone is here for work."
Hearing Zhang Pin's words, Lu Zhilian breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what Zhang Pin thinks in his heart, judging from his commitment, it is no wonder that the other party has been promoted like a rocket in recent years.
"Our current target is Li Li!"
After Zhang Pin agreed to cooperate with the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Lu Zhilian introduced the information they compiled last night.
"This Li Li claims to be the general manager of a certain department of the Hong Kong Island branch of the Black Heart Group. The activity track of this person in Hong Kong Island is indeed mainly to attend official events organized by the Black Heart Group's Love Fund, and this person especially likes to show off online.
He owns a mansion, a luxury car and all kinds of luxuries, and calls himself the second generation of rich people."
"Because of the other party's high-profile actions, many onlookers did not feel good about her. Some people have been verbally abusing and attacking her, and it even affected the charity fund of the black-hearted group."
"After investigation, we found that her identity as a second-generation rich man is not true. The real identity of the other party is unknown, but according to records obtained during several investigations, the other party should have been engaged in some peripheral businesses before."
"By the way, we also found another thing. She has many customs records for entering and leaving Australia, and she carries a lot of cash every time."
Because the ICAC's powers are relatively simple and its office funds are sufficient, it is much better than the Hong Kong Island Police in the area of background investigations.
In just one night, the other party investigated so much information.
Knock knock knock——
But after hearing Lu Zhilian's words, Zhang Pin knocked on the table and interrupted him.
"What is the relationship between this woman and Shen Huashan?"
Zhang Pin didn't even bother to put on a fake smile at this moment.
There is no way, this news is really infuriating.
You know, the Black Heart Group is the largest charity organization in the east.
As a result, the funds donated by such poor people were frugally used by these moths to squander it. You can imagine the anger in Sir Zhang's heart.
"According to the information we have investigated, this Li Li is the goddaughter of Shen Huashan. She is also the one who, under the name of Boss Hua, specializes in receiving huge amounts of peripheral funds on Hong Kong Island that small bankers cannot afford."
Lu Zhilian immediately responded to Zhang Pin's inquiry.
"Is there any concrete evidence of their crimes?"
Zhang Pin obviously didn't have the time or patience to play with these people, so he directly stated his requirements.
"Not yet, but we have a plan, which is to first approach Li Li pretending to be a customer, and then contact Boss Hua through Li Li, and then take the opportunity to find evidence of their crime."
Lu Zhilian also heard Zhang Pin's intention to close the case quickly, but this kind of thing requires evidence.
Especially since Li Li is still from there, in fact, ICAC may not have the authority to investigate the other party.
"This plan is too slow. In this way, you continue to find ways to get close to Li Li, but don't use your identity as a client to directly identify yourself as someone from ICAC, just to scare the snake away."
Zhang Pin is not surprised by this slowly lurking plan, but such a plan may take several months or even longer to be effective.
Apart from anything else, if you pretend to be a customer, you have to do at least a few transactions with the other party before both parties can gain trust.
And if you want to get in touch with Boss Hua, the boss behind Li Li, you have to make several transactions.
Naturally, Sir Zhang doesn’t have so much time to waste with them.
After all, if you allow these people one more day, they will waste countless lives and sacrifices.
Moreover, if such things are reported, it will chill many caring people and reduce their charity and love.
Just strike a chord and scare the snake!
Lu Zhilian was surprised at first when he heard Zhang Pin's confident approach. Then he thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed an easy case to handle.
Unlike the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the Hong Kong Island Police Force is not the ICAC investigating anti-corruption.
By alerting others like this, the ICAC will worry that the other party will destroy the evidence or stop there.
But the police force is different. As long as they seize the opportunity, even if the other party destroys the evidence, the police can find a way to restore it.
And while the ICAC can only investigate corruption, bribery or insider trading, the police force has much more evidence to prosecute.
"good!"
So Lu Zhilian agreed immediately.
Peninsula Hotel.
Lu Zhilian, who was wearing a white suit, had his hair parted in the middle and put a layer of powder on his face. Unfortunately, this made his face darker.
But he is obviously very confident in his appearance.
At this time, he was sitting on the sofa almost like Ge You was lying down, as if he was waiting for someone.
He waited for several hours before he saw Li Li, who was wearing a hip-hugging skirt and carrying a Donkey bag, walking down the stairs step by step.
"Ms. Li, I am Lu Zhilian, the chief investigation director of ICAC. I need your cooperation on something."
It is not easy to wait for Li Li. Except for showing up when attending charity fund banquets on Hong Kong Island, it is difficult to find traces of her at other times.
This time, Lu Zhilian deliberately used Silly Biao's relationship to give him the excuse that a big client was at the Peninsula Hotel, and finally waited until Li Li showed up.
"ICAC"
When Li Li heard Lu Zhilian reveal his identity, her pretty face suddenly turned pale, her body became shaky, and she almost fell down on the spot.
Seeing how helpless Li Li was, Lu Zhilian almost couldn't help but wonder if he had found the wrong target.
After all, who would have thought that the largest bookmaker on the outskirts of Hong Kong Island would be so helpless.
"I'm sorry, I'm not from Hong Kong. You have no right to investigate me." ()
