From Drifting in Hong Kong Chapter 107: Complicity
Qin Yi showed a sarcastic smile, "Director Li, can you explain it to me?"
Li Tian's face became a little ugly, and now he knew that he had fallen into a trap.
Although I don’t know what happened to this tape, it is definitely a forgery.
Qin Yi's interpersonal relationships are easy to check. He came from the mainland illegally. From graduating from school to graduating from the police academy, he was active in Hong Kong Island and has never been to other places.
Ruan Wen himself is an overseas Chinese from Annam and has been living in Europe and the United States. There is no intersection between the two of them from where they were born to the circles they hang out in.
The only thing that overlaps is this police uniform bidding.
If it was said that Qin Yi and Ruan Wen recorded it themselves, Li Tian was the first to not believe it.
Because this is illogical.
The various information in the report letter received by Li Tian was very detailed and authentic. He checked it one by one and confirmed its authenticity.
Especially this tape, he regarded it as a key piece of evidence.
But he didn't expect that this most powerful evidence would be a fake.
"Where did these tapes come from?" Li Tian asked with a frown.
"It's very cheap given by others." Qin Yi smiled slightly, "Some time ago, someone gave me a box every day, and asked me to pay a small fee, which is not much, only about five million Hong Kong dollars." p>
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is the source-changing app,
Li Tian's face darkened.
"I know this is blackmail, and the person who sent the tape didn't clearly tell me what the consequences would be if I paid the money." Qin Yi had an indifferent expression on his face, "It's nothing more than publishing the tape, but what can I do?"<
/p>
"I have a clear conscience and am single. It's just that my reputation has been damaged. I'm not short of money. Being an errand is just a hobby and I have no ambition."
"Blackmailing me is a failure." Qin Yi spread his hands, "But as more and more tapes became available, I found that this matter was not as simple as I thought."
"The other party is not here for me at all."
Although Li Tian doesn't like Qin Yi, he already agrees with Qin Yi's statement.
Qin Yi is just a small inspector, with little value at all. Threatening him can only get some money. Spending so much effort is obviously not proportional to the income.
So who is the person who made the tape?
What is his purpose?
"Does Miss Ruan Wen know about these tapes?" Li Tian asked with a frown.
"How do I know?" Qin Yi continued to show off, "I'm not familiar with her, so I can't call her directly and ask her if you have received a tape about us. It can easily be misunderstood."
Li Tian's face became even more gloomy, and he decided to change the topic.
"Which Miss Ruan Wen's design plan did you base on for the police uniform bidding and recommended it to the selection committee?"
"In this police uniform bidding, a total of eleven companies' design teams participated. Designers come from China, the United States, Japan and Hong Kong Island. I have read every design plan." Qin Yi took his time.
The answer was, "Seven of the unqualified ones were eliminated and the remaining four designs were recommended to the selection committee. Miss Ruan Wen's design is just one of the plans."
"On what basis did you choose?" Li Tian continued to ask, "I heard that you highly recommended Miss Ruan Wen's design plan, is that true?"
"We consider it from multiple perspectives such as practicality and aesthetics." Qin Yi straightened up and said very proudly, "Although I don't understand fashion design, at least my aesthetics is online."
"The seven unsuccessful plans were basically insufficient in practicality and only considered aesthetics. We are here to catch thieves, not fashion models."
"Among the four selected plans, except for Ms. Ruan Wen's design, the others all referred to the police clothing design of the Republic of Korea and the United States and adopted an all-weather design, so that the same uniform can be worn in all seasons."
"Only Ms. Ruan Wen's solution is unique. It is practical, multi-functional, breathable, lightweight, flexible, and durable. It has improved the uniform's problems of stuffiness and excessive close-fitting."
"Taking into account the clothing required for different climates, different police types, and different working environments, Ms. Ruan Wen's design is a complete set of clothing, not a so-called all-weather uniform."
"Including common uniforms, multi-functional jackets, windbreakers, and even training uniforms and combat vests required by the Flying Tigers and G4."
"Let me give you an example. The bidding price for a set of all-weather uniforms is 110 million, of which the design cost is as high as 7 million US dollars. Miss Ruan Wen's design plan is only 5 million US dollars."
Qin Yi looked at Li Tian with a smile, "After such a comparison, Director Li should know why I highly recommend it, right?"
"Among the selection committee, there are Li Dong of the Police Department, Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Guan Yingqi, Assistant Commissioner of Police Ho Yuen-an, Assistant Commissioner of Police William Robinson, and Assistant Commissioner of Police Tsang Heung Wing. You are all familiar with these five people.
?"
"They are all senior members of the police force, I just know them."
Li Tian frowned, "I heard that your police force has been uneasy recently. Guan Yingqi and William Robinson of the selection committee have disappeared, and Brother 1 suddenly felt unwell and went home to recuperate."
"Officer Qin, can you reveal some information?"
"I'm just a small inspector. How do I know the situation at the top?" Qin Yi spread his hands and expressed that he was helpless.
Before Li Tian could continue to ask questions, an investigation director suddenly opened the door, hurriedly walked to his side, and whispered a few words.
Li Tian was shocked and stood up, "What?! Dead?!"
There was a huge wave in his heart, and he was shocked by the new news and was a little confused.
The dignified police commissioner died in a gunfight.
Li Tian suddenly looked at Qin Yi and looked him up and down. Before he could ask a question, an assistant appeared at the door.
"Director Li, Qin Yi's lawyer is here."
……
Cai Yuanqi looked at the scene in front of him expressionlessly. The car had been riddled with bullets, and the pool of blood on the ground had turned dark brown.
The police commissioner who once held a high position and was known as the First Brother has now become a corpse, placed on a stretcher and covered with a white cloth.
A subordinate stepped forward, lifted the white cloth, and revealed the body.
Cai Yuanqi took out a handkerchief and covered his nose, took a look, waved his hand, turned around and left.
"What are the people from the Flying Tigers and SB doing here?" Cai Yuanqi asked with a cold face.
Qian Ruian, who was promoted to Assistant Police Commissioner, immediately replied, "They said they were conducting an event nearby and accidentally bumped into this group of gangsters."
"Unintentional?" Cai Yuanqi sneered, "What are they doing here?"
"SB said it is not convenient to disclose."
"Okay." Cai Yuanqi snorted, "SB is playing this trick with me."
Cai Yuanqi's face was full of anger, and people around him consciously stayed away from him, for fear of harming Chi Yu.
Cheng Jianren, who had narrowly escaped death, limped over and lowered his head without daring to say a word.
"Trash." Cai Yuanqi jumped into the car without even looking at him.
Cheng Jianren's face was ashen, he knew he was finished.
He was the commander in charge of guarding Li Dong, but he was kidnapped and died. He has an unshirkable responsibility.
Cai Yuanqi's face was full of murderous intent along the way, and his men were as silent as cicadas, not even daring to breathe.
Following Cai Yuanqi all the way back to the police headquarters, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they watched him walk into his office and the door was closed.
Zhang Wenyao walked into the hall excitedly holding a stack of eucalyptus. He raised his eyes and felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. He cautiously came over and asked, "What happened?"
"Li Dong is dead, and all the clues are gone." Li Zhongguang laughed, "The boss is losing his temper, you'd better not go in and mess with him."
Zhang Wenyao was immediately disappointed and watched everyone disperse.
Li Zhongguang was a few steps behind. Everyone had already walked out of the hall. He suddenly shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that Li Dong died so suddenly. Many things were not explained. I'm afraid Sir Cai is very sad."
Zhang Wenyao frowned thoughtfully. He glanced at the closed door of the room, hesitated for a while, and did not dare to step forward.
Back in his office, Zhang Wenyao threw away the documents in his hands with some frustration and slumped on his chair, with countless thoughts running through his mind.
Why is Cai Yuanqi sad? Because Li Dong is dead.
It's not because Cai Yuanqi and Li Dong have any deep friendship, but because Li Dong has many secrets.
When Li Dong died, he took away many secrets with him.
Just when Zhang Wenyao was deep in thought, the office door was suddenly knocked open.
He looked up and saw Cheng Jianren staring at him with blood-red eyes.
"You did it! Who asked you to break in? Do you know the rules?" Zhang Wenyao shouted sternly, "Get out!"
Cheng Jianren not only did not go out, but instead closed the door, stepped forward, put his hands on the table, and leaned towards Zhang Wenyao.
"You have to help me!"
"Huh?" Zhang Wenyao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Why should I help you?"
"You can only help me!" Cheng Jianren stared with blood-red eyes, "If I can't turn over, I will drag you to death!"
"Ignore you!" Zhang Wenyao became angry immediately, slapped the table and stood up, "You are threatening me?!"
"Yes, I am threatening you!" Cheng Jianren said coldly, "I have your handle! You must help me!"
"We don't have many acquaintances around Cai Yuanqi, and no one will help you. You can only survive by cooperating! Otherwise, you can only be cannon fodder!"
"I'm still useful and can help you get to the top!" Cheng Jianren said fiercely, "We will benefit from cooperation! You must help me!"
Zhang Wenyao frowned, "I lost my brother in your hands and died. How can I help you?"
"Li Dong is not important!" Cheng Jianren took a deep breath, "What is important is his money! Do you understand?!"
Zhang Wenyao immediately perked up, "What do you know?"
"Cai Yuanqi wanted to know where Li Dong hid the money, but something happened before I had time to interrogate it." Cheng Jianren gritted his teeth and said, "People are not important, money is important!"
"Then do you know where Li Dong hid the money?" Zhang Wenyao was overjoyed and asked hopefully.
"I don't know."
"Throw away your old wood!"
"But I know how to check!" Cheng Jianren snorted coldly, "Cai Yuanqi thought I didn't know that he was actually a foundation controlled by Zha Lidong."
"Foundation?!" Zhang Wenyao was suddenly surprised, "It can't be that foundation, right?"
Cheng Jianren narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Wenyao, "Have you also participated in that foundation?"
"No, I didn't." Zhang Wenyao shook his head, "I won't join in with those scum in the police force. I keep myself clean!"
He had been hating himself for not joining the foundation for a long time, but now he didn't expect that it actually saved his life.
A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
As long as you can catch clues about the foundation, it will be a huge achievement, and you will be able to stand firm in front of Cai Yuanqi!
Therefore, this credit must be grasped!
"Let's start with this foundation!" Cheng Jianren snorted, "I checked this foundation, and the background is quite complicated. All matters on Hong Kong Island are handled by the barrister Jian Aowei. Many people in the police force
Everyone participated.”
Zhang Wenyao nodded, "I've heard about this before, and it has something to do with that bastard Qin Yi."
"Then arrest him!" Cheng Jianren sneered, "This time the old and new accounts will be settled together!"
"But Qin Yi was taken away by the ICAC." Zhang Wenyao frowned.
Cheng Jianren was shocked, "Taken away by the Independent Commission Against Corruption? When did it happen?"
"Just what happened at noon today."
"Oops!" Cheng Jianren frowned, "If people from the Independent Commission Against Corruption also focus on this fund, it will be troublesome!"
Zhang Wenyao was also a little panicked. This contribution was his stepping stone and he couldn't lose it.
"Then what should we do now?" Zhang Wenyao asked tentatively, "How about we try to fish him out?"
"How are you going to make money after entering the Independent Commission Against Corruption?" Cheng Jianren said angrily, "Qin Yi's line is useless, but there is another line, his wife Lu Guohua!"
"Lu Guohua?!" Zhang Wenyao suddenly said, "Yes, there is him here, he is the most active, and he is the one who led the organization of the Foundation for the Low-level Military Uniform Investment!"
"Then catch him!" Cheng Jianren clenched his fists, "Without further delay, let's do it right away!"
After the two people discussed it, they called a few close men and went straight to the Hung Hom Police Station.
But Lu Guohua had already gotten off work at this time, and Zhang Wenyao, who was disappointed, immediately turned to Lu Guohua's home.
"Peng Peng Peng!"
"Open the door, police!"
Lu Zhilian opened the door and looked at the people in front of him, "What's the matter, Sir?"
"Where is Lu Guohua?" Zhang Wenyao asked with a straight face, pushing Lu Zhilian away and about to enter.
Lu Zhilian hurriedly stopped everyone, "Stop! Do you have a search warrant? Where are your IDs? Otherwise, I will sue you for breaking into a private house!"
"Break into a private house?!" Zhang Wenyao sneered, waved his hand, and one of his men rushed forward, pushed Lu Zhilian aside, pressed him against the wall, and everyone rushed in.
Lu Guohua and his second son Lu Zhiheng, who heard the noise in the house, ran out, "Hey, what are you doing?!"
"Stop!"
"Lu Guohua, we are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Zhang Wenyao looked at Lu Guohua and said, "Now there is something we need you to go back with us to assist in the investigation and take away!"
"Hey, what are you doing?!" Lu Zhiheng rushed up and pushed Zhang Wenyao's men away, "Why do you just arrest people?"
Lu Zhilian also struggled desperately, "I'm warning you, I am a lawyer! I will file a complaint against you!"
"Complain?!" The policeman who caught Lu Zhilian sneered, "Okay, I'm from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how do you want to complain? I'll let you complain!"
After that, he pressed Lu Zhilian's head firmly against the wall.
"Stop it!" Lu Guohua yelled, "Let go of my son! I'll follow you!"
