"You have seen your boss, my boss, staring at our boss of the internal affairs department, and our boss's boss. They are so happy sitting at the same table eating and drinking."
Abao glanced at Chen Jiaju, who was letting the water rinse his palms without saying a word, and began to persuade him.
"And did you know that Sir Chen from Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station originally arranged for his men to catch Liu Hu, but in the end they returned without success."
"Even Sir Chen knows how to give in. Jiaju, how about you just hand over the report to me when the time comes and let me handle the rest."
Abao stood humbly at the door, and what he did and said didn't sound like a boss talking to a subordinate.
The two have an unusual relationship. When they were in the police academy, Po was Chen Jiaju's instructor. The two of them have had many interactions over the years. Many times when Chen Jiaju made mistakes, Po also helped him.
"Abao, what do you mean, is this the first day you met me?"
When Chen Jiaju heard what the other party said, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"I think you just got a promotion. You are a police superintendent and you are transferred from the traffic team to the traffic team all day long. Is it an honor to say that?"
When Abao heard what Chen Jiaju said, he was obviously a little angry.
"You are not helping me, but you are putting me on stage!"
Chen Jiaju tried his best to control his anger, but he also knew that it was not easy for Po.
With the size of the people at the table today, he and Abao really had little room for resistance.
"Why did I put you on stage? I've done everything for you from beginning to end. Can't you just nod your head? Do you think it's fun to smile at them while humiliating them?"
Abao cursed first, then took a deep breath, patted Chen Jiaju's shoulder, and tried to calm down his tone.
"Whether you go in with a face or not, the result of this matter is actually the same. The big guys want to give face to the big boss. They just want to be perfect. If you cooperate, you will get a big job for nothing.
Why not take the position of head of the case team?"
When Chen Jiaju heard A Bao's words, this time he put his hands on the sink and stared at the wrinkled face in the mirror, his mind wandering to nowhere for a while.
"You are no longer a child. You haven't seen anything in these years. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Ami and your future. Please, I beg you, I love you."
Abao's words were extremely humble.
There was nothing I could do about it. Although he was not a party to this battle today, he was the one who received the most ire among everyone.
"I'm really impressed with you. Wait for me to make a call."
In the end, Chen Jiaju failed to stick to his principles, not for himself, but for Abao and others.
However, he did not immediately agree to these people's requests. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhang Pin's number.
He really wanted to know what Zhang Ping would do if faced with such a thing.
"This is not easy. As a superintendent, why should you personally handle such a small case? You can just leave it to the people below. But this Liu Hu has a very strong relationship. He can actually summon so many people.
Now the players, referees and notaries all belong to the other side, so how can you beat the other side on the court?"
Zhang Pin was somewhat relieved when he received a call from Chen Jiaju.
In fact, in these years of getting along, it's not like he hasn't instilled some great principles into Chen Jiaju.
But if Chen Jiaju is the kind of person who is easily changed and influenced by others, he cannot be Chen Jiaju.
So for all these years, the other party has still gone its own way.
If it weren't for this guy's good luck and the fact that he had won the bets several times, even if he had solved so many cases, it would be difficult for him to be in his current position.
Originally, Zhang Pin thought that Chen Jiaju might be like this for the rest of his life. For this reason, he also considered what kind of livelihood he would find when he gets older.
But today's phone call made him see that Chen Jiaju had actually changed.
It's just that his changes are very subtle, so it's hard to see them at ordinary times.
"I'll tell you good news. These guys have been targeted by the Complaints Bureau and the Independent Commission Against Corruption for a long time. Why don't you open a door for them? I happen to be familiar with the ICAC investigators. Let them follow up later.
, look at what tricks they are playing.”
What Zhang Pin said was not a lie. In fact, Lu Zhilian had revealed to him a month ago that ICAC was eyeing several high-level officials in Hong Kong Island. These guys had inherited the political legacy left by Zhuo Jingquan.
I made a lot of money over the years.
"I see."
When Chen Jiaju heard Zhang Pin's words, he thought for a moment and finally hung up the phone in a depressed tone.
Although Abao, who was standing not far away, didn't hear who Chen Jiaju was calling, after noticing that the other person's frown had loosened, he quickly stepped forward and took the other person's hand toward the box.
"How's it going? No injuries, right?"
After entering the box, the face of the senior superintendent of the Internal Affairs Division was obviously unhappy, and his words also contained a bit of sting.
"It's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, the tea is relatively cold."
Chen Jiaju sat directly on the chair and did not answer the question. On the other hand, Abao had a smile on his face and spoke as if he didn't understand the other person's words.
"Have you made things clear to him?"
The other party asked again directly in front of Chen Jiaju.
"Speak clearly."
Abao responded again, then turned to look at Chen Jiaju, who was silent.
Chen Jiaju no longer had a face, but he also did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked at the newly added cup of tea on the table.
He reached out and picked up the tea cup on the table, then took a sip of tea.
Although Chen Jiaju didn't understand the quality of tea, he felt that drinking this cup of tea gave him a sense of satisfaction out of thin air.
"Nice tea, manager!"
Chen Jiaju finally spoke his first words. A Bao and Liu Hu's lawyers heard his words and smiled on their faces.
"gentlemen!"
A high-end private room like this naturally has a dedicated service staff. Previously, because we had to discuss private matters, the other party stood waiting at the door.
At this moment, hearing Chen Jiaju's call, the service staff at the door walked in.
"Isn't this tea cheap?"
Chen Jiaju looked at the service staff and pointed at the tea cup.
"The customer has good taste. This tea comes from the mainland. The mother tree of Wuyi Mountain, Dahongpao, produces only a few kilograms a year. Mr. Liu brought this tea himself. We can't even buy it in the store. I heard that it's a tael."
The prices are over 100,000 yuan!”
The service staff have obviously studied these things for a long time, and they speak clearly and logically.
"Wow, this is a masterpiece. I have to drink two more glasses."
Abao on the side didn't know whether it was to cheer him up or he was really surprised. He picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"It's so expensive. If I drink it, it won't be considered a bribe."
Chen Jiaju looked surprised.
He was not pretending to be surprised, but he really didn't expect that the price of tea would be so expensive.
"puff--"
Po, who had just drank the tea in his mouth, heard Chen Jiaju's words and couldn't help spitting out the tea he had just drank. This time, he vomited in the face of the senior superintendent of the Internal Affairs Division next to him.
"But I just took a few bites, and the discounted price is only a few hundred yuan at most. Such a small amount of money should not reach the standard of bribery."
Chen Jiaju didn't pay attention to Abao and the senior superintendent of the Internal Affairs Division who were beside him, but kept talking to himself.
"I just thought about it carefully. I discovered this case, and I arrested the person and brought him to the police station. I have also handed in the report."
After hearing Chen Jiaju's words, everyone present changed their expressions again.
"But one thing I forgot is that in order to arrest these people, I actually fought with them."
Chen Jiaju didn't care about everyone's faces, but continued talking to himself.
"In this case, I am actually a client myself. According to police regulations, as a client, I should follow the principle of avoidance of the case, so this case should be handled by others."
"Yes, yes, sir Chen is not only good at handling cases, he is also very familiar with police cases. Let me arrange this case, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
Abao on the side was about to cry. When Chen Jiaju said this, his heart that had jumped to his throat finally returned to his heart again.
In order to prevent Chen Jiaju's next words from taking a turn, he quickly accepted the words and did not give the other party a chance to regret it.
Others chose to remain silent about this. Although Chen Jiaju seemed to have given in to them, this attitude obviously still made them unhappy.
"Mr. Liu, your tea is too expensive. I'm afraid that Superintendent Wang from the Internal Affairs Division will launch an investigation into me later. Besides, I still have missions, so this meal will be waived. Everyone, take your leave!"
Chen Jiaju didn't want to stay in this box for a second.
So after he finished speaking, he got up and walked outside.
"I'll see you off."
Abao didn't want to eat the meal when he got up. Seeing that the matter had been resolved, he also got up and left.
"After waiting for so long, the dishes have become cold. Waiter, please serve hot food again according to the previous menu. Sirs, you must eat well today and bring back some Dahongpao later."
Liu Hu felt very happy when he saw that the matter was resolved, so he waved his hand and motioned to the waiter to remove all the untouched dishes from the table and bring new ones.
"Mr. Liu is very thoughtful. Young people are always a bit arrogant."
When the commander-in-chief of Hong Kong Island heard Liu Hu's words, he had a smile on his face for the first time, and then he couldn't help but sit up straight.
"Speaking of which, this is my first time drinking Dahongpao, and there is such expensive tea."
While the other party was talking, he picked up the teacup and tasted it slowly.
In an abandoned warehouse, there is a statue of Guan Gong in the corner. Next to the statue of Guan Gong, there is a photo of his body.
Dazui led several people to bow to Guan Gong, and then put the incense in the incense burner in front of the portrait.
Then the five people returned to a table filled with bullets and firearms, and each of them started eating and drinking with a bottle of beer and a bowl of noodles.
All five of them were wearing black clothes and black trousers, and their hair was shaved down to only a few inches.
Dong dong dong——
Dazui finished the last bite of noodles, then raised his head and took a swig of beer, then stood up and knocked on the table.
The four people who were still eating and drinking immediately put down their chopsticks in unison, sat upright involuntarily, and placed their hands on the table in front of them.
Dazui couldn't help but raise his brows when he saw this instinctive scene among everyone, obviously thinking of his years in prison.
He took a deep breath, then put his hands on the table and leaned forward a little.
"Don't say I didn't explain it clearly. If this happens, someone will harm everyone."
As Big Mouth spoke, he raised a finger to point, and at the same time looked at several people one by one.
"If God comes, I won't even give him face."
After speaking loudly, his expression became ferocious.
After hearing his words, the other four people did not speak in silence. Instead, they picked up the firearms on the table and began to assemble them. A guy with half a face covered with scars picked up a box of intercom equipment from the table and began to distribute them one by one.
stand up.
Click——
Click——click——
For a moment, no one spoke at the scene, only the sound of bullets being pressed into the magazine resounded throughout the warehouse. I wonder if this was a response to Big Mouth.
"Old Xu, what do you mean? You are dragging your feet in distributing equipment. If it doesn't work, just go to the gate and guard the door. Staying here is wasting everyone's time."
Chen Jiaju and several others stood at the entrance of the equipment department, preparing to receive weapons and body armor for the operation.
But who would have thought that Lao Xu, who usually moves quickly, was procrastinating this time and did not hand out the things.
Then a young police officer from the Major Crime Squad couldn't help but start complaining.
The old Xu who was complained about was actually only in his thirties, so naturally he was not old enough to need to see the gate.
In fact, the police officers who can be assigned to the weapons and equipment department, although they are in the logistics department, can be regarded as elite.
Being stared at by everyone at this moment, Lao Xu glanced at Chen Jiaju sheepishly, and then lowered his head.
"what happened?"
When Chen Jiaju saw Lao Xu like this, he suddenly had some guesses in his heart.
"Sir Chen, I'm sorry. There is no record of your receipt in the system, and the higher-ups have informed us that inspections will be required in the next few days. All firearms and equipment cannot be flowed out without signature approval."
Lao Xu's words verified his conjecture.
Chen Jiaju's face suddenly darkened, and then he dialed Abao's phone number.
"Where will the action be tonight?"
"Do you understand the rules? This needs to be kept secret, do you know?"
When he received the call from Chen Jiaju, Abao had just finished vomiting in the bathroom. He sat down on the toilet and was silent for a moment before picking up the phone.
"Are you even trying to trick me?"
There was anger spreading in Chen Jiaju's heart.
"It's not that I'm kidding, it's that they think you don't know how to appreciate others and want to teach you a lesson."
Abao touched his forehead, then stood up and walked outside while supporting the wall.
"I've told you a long time ago that you have to use soft and hard tactics when doing things. There is no point in offending them. If these people just say something casually, you can't fight them."
Abao's face was full of helplessness. He was the one who was the matchmaker in this matter, hoping to introduce Chen Jiaju to the superior.
As a result, no one knew that although Chen Jiaju was subdued, because he had a bad look and left the table early, several people called him ignorant of praise.
This time I called the equipment department just to teach him a lesson.
"Don't get involved in this matter. I heard that the case was handed over to an inspector named Hong Qi in Tsuen Wan. The relationship between this guy and them is unclear. Don't go ahead and ask for trouble."
"Also, don't ask for information in private. They just want you to make mistakes. I don't want you to have to become a police officer, brother."
In the end, Abao specially reminded Chen Jiaju, then hung up the phone, washed his face with cold water, then rubbed his face, put on a smile in the mirror, and then walked to the box again.
