In Lei Luo's mansion, everyone gathered. In addition to Lan Gang, Han Sen, and Chen Xijiu among the four major detectives in Hong Kong, there were also Detective Hua, Sha Zhan, and the assistant from the 18th district!
The large conference room was full of people, and Lei Luo was at the head, leaning on a chair, with a stubby haircut, a hooked nose showing a hint of sinisterness, and puffing away at a cigar between his teeth.
The person speaking at the moment was Chen Xijiu, "Brother Luo, the police academy has also been infiltrated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. The student I just talked about, Ye Zhenhuan, was admitted in advance by the Independent Commission Against Corruption! I'm afraid the ghost guy wants to do it for real this time!"
Since he became the principal of Wong Chuk Hang Police School, Lei Luo has regarded the entire police school as his own and does not allow others to interfere with him to snatch the talents he likes. Unexpectedly, the Independent Commission Against Corruption did not notify him and directly snatched people, which made Lei Luo very upset.
No face.
In Chen Xijiu's view, this is not a matter of saving face, but the fact that the newly established ICAC is not subject to police control and has an independent system, which is scary.
"What are you afraid of? It's just an ICAC. It's not like Gui Lao has never done this before!" Detective Hua Lan Gang chewed his cigarette and choked Chen Xijiu, "Besides, Brother Luo is now the commander of the Flying Tigers.
He has thousands of elite soldiers, who dares to go against him?"
Other detectives Hua agreed: "That's right! We all share the same heart with Brother Luo! We are all united in a rope, are we still afraid of those ghost guys playing tricks?!"
Lei Luo took off the cigar he was chewing and made a quiet gesture, and the noise around him stopped immediately.
Lei Luo flicked his cigar and looked at Detective Zonghua Han Sen, who had been silent, and asked: "Asen, what do you think?"
Among the four detectives, the old fox Yan Xiong is good at adapting to the situation, Lan Gang has a fiery temper, but Han Sen is the only one who is mature and steady, and Lei Luo likes to ask his opinions the most when encountering problems.
Han Sen took a long drag on his cigarette, squinted his eyes and said, "To be honest, Brother Luo! I always feel uneasy about the ICAC that I went to the top of this time..."
"Oh, really?"
"In addition, I also heard that this ICAC suggestion is..."
"What is it?" Seeing Han Sen hesitate to speak, Lei Luo asked.
"Ajian proposed it!"
"What?" Lei Luo was stunned for a moment.
Everyone else was also stunned.
Chen Xijiu was immediately surprised and said, "What do you mean? Could it be that the person who gave Gui Lao the idea to set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption was... Shi Zhijian?"
"Did you just call me Shi Zhijian?" Lei Luohu glared and scolded.
"Oh, yes, yes! It's Councilor Shi!" Chen Xijiu stuck out her tongue.
Everyone knew about the relationship between Lei Luo and Shi Zhijian, but they didn't expect that Lei Luo would defend him so much.
"Asen, who did you hear this news from?"
"It's a friend of mine. His wife is having an affair with a ghost guy from the Legislative Council! The ghost guy told his wife on the bed that the Independent Commission Against Corruption was proposed by Senator Shek to use to build up Mai Lihao's authority! I didn't expect it to be established so quickly.
!”
Lei Luo looked uncertain and seemed to be thinking about something. He bit his cigar and took a puff and spit out: "No wonder Ajian persuaded me to donate money before and asked me to keep a low profile. It turns out he has done such a thing!"
Chen Xijiu stood aside: "Brother Luo, did Senator Shi remind you? Please tell me, what did he say?"
"What can you say? Let us restrain ourselves!" Lei Luo thought of this, and said to everyone with a sharp look: "Now what I say, you just do it! Stop collecting fees first, collect all the ledgers and hand them over to me
Come!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately exploded.
"No! It's such a big deal? How can we live without charging fees? How can we deal with those ghost bosses? They are so greedy. Don't say we won't give them an offering. Even if it's a day late, they will point their noses.
Scold us till we are bloody!"
"Yes! And those account books are so difficult to collect! Basically one for each stall, so it's very difficult to collect them!"
Seeing that none of these people were willing to act, Lei Luo became angry and slapped the table: "What, are you teaching me how to do things?"
Suddenly, the scene fell silent!
Lei Luo turned back to Lardboy and said, "Azai, I'll leave this matter to you! If anyone violates the rules, I'll catch them! If anyone doesn't hand over the ledger, I'll take him to the police station! Zhong You,
If anyone is dissatisfied, let them come to me, Lei Luo!"
The final word,
No one dared to refute it!
…
After everyone left, Lei Luo stopped Chen Xijiu, Lan Gang and Han Sen.
"Brother Luo, do you have anything else to explain?" Chen Xijiu asked.
Lei Luo leaned on the chair, pinched his eyebrows with his fingers, closed his eyes and said: "Ajian once told me that there will be a big storm in the future in terms of clean government. He asked me whether I want money or power. I am too greedy.
I also want money, and I also want power!”
Chen Xijiu and others looked at Lei Luo, wondering what he meant by these words.
Lei Luo slowly opened his eyes: "Although I am the commander of the Flying Tigers now, which is equivalent to the ancient imperial guard, I can order my subordinates to do anything! But after all, we are eating the royal food, and there are people above us, so we cannot do whatever we want! A Jian is
What a wonderful person, every time I talk to my damn old man about my dreams, it is very effective!"
Lei Luo looked at Chen Xijiu, Han Sen and Lan Gang: "You should also prepare, maybe this will be a big storm!"
Chen Xijiu's heart skipped a beat.
Han Sen and Lan Gang also looked at each other in surprise.
Lei Luo has always been their boss, and he always plans things, especially when faced with danger, he never gives up and moves forward bravely!
But now that we are just setting up an Independent Commission Against Corruption, he actually said such depressing words. What's going on?
"Ahem, Brother Luo, are you overthinking? Why don't you ask Shi Zhijian to find out more about what the ICAC is?" Chen Xijiu said boldly.
Lei Luo waved his hand: "Every time I encountered difficulties in the past, I would ask Ajian for help! It won't happen this time. He has told me before, but I didn't accept his conditions! You decide your own destiny.
!I, Lei Luo, will control my own destiny from now on and will no longer leave it to anyone else!"
Chen Xijiu swallowed his saliva and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.
Han Sen and Lan Gang said: "Got it, Brother Luo! We are the same as you, we have no control over our fate!"
Lei Luo leaned back on his chair, bit his cigar, and smiled arrogantly.
…
"Ajian, your chess game is terrible! Even I can't beat it!"
In the Lu Yu Tea House, Lai Hao was chewing a cigar, leaning on a cane, holding a chess piece in one hand, and spoke brazenly to Shi Zhijian, who was sitting opposite him and playing backgammon with him.
"Your chess skills are not much better! I killed you instantly with one move in two consecutive games!"
Shi Zhijian would never admit that he was a bad chess player, especially when facing an opponent like Lai Hao who was worse than himself.
Hu Juncai, who was watching the game next to him, looked at the two bad players and could only resist the urge to play chess on their behalf. He felt that their playing chess was simply insulting the intelligence of a master like him.
Shi Zhijian took a sip of tea and was about to throw the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard. Hu Juncai saw it and waved his hand quickly: "No, it's better to play next to it!"
"Huh?" Shi Zhijian glanced at Hu Juncai.
Hu Juncai shut up and watched the chess without saying a word, a true gentleman.
Shi Zhijian did as he said and moved the chess piece to the side.
Lai Hao was stunned when he saw it, "Pu, your mother, why did you lose?" No matter how he played, Shi Zhijian could connect all five pieces.
Lame Hao raised his head and glared at Hu Juncai: "Do you know I'm playing chess with your boss?"
"I know!"
"Then do you know we have a bet?"
"I know!"
"Then do you know that I just lost my Mercedes-Benz?"
"this……"
Hu Juncai shut up.
Shi Zhijian laughed and said, "I was just joking and having fun, but I don't want your car!"
"No! You can't not want it!" Lame Hao stood up with his hands on his hips and leaned on a cane. "I, Wu Shihao, have always been trustworthy in my work in my life! If you lose, you lose, and if you win, you win! If you don't want it, you just look down on me!"
"Okay, okay! I want it! Sit down first!" Shi Zhijian hurriedly asked the angry lame man to sit down again, then turned to Hu Juncai and said: "Lawyer Hu, please go out and run an errand and buy a few copies for me.
newspaper!"
Hu Juncai was in a hurry to run away, but he was afraid of being spotted by the lame man.
After Hu Juncai slipped away, Shi Zhijian picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the angry lame hao himself, "It's rare that Brother Hao invited me to drink tea today! Tell me, what's going on?"
Lai Hao chewed his cigar and thought for a moment, then said: "I heard that you suggested the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption?"
"I just wrote a proposal to Mak Li-ho. I thought that it would take at least two or three years for such an ICAC to be established. I didn't expect that our future Hong Kong Governor was so courageous that he turned into an enemy of Sir Bailiqu.
As a friend, I enlisted him to jointly submit a letter to the British side. As soon as the British side gave the approval, this side was established immediately! It was so fast that even I was stunned!"
Shi Zhijian grabbed the cigarette box at hand, opened it and found that it was empty. He shrunk the cigarette box, threw it towards the trash can in the corner, and said.
Lai Hao took out a big cigar and handed it to Shi Zhijian: "I know you don't like cigars, so I'll just use it first!"
Shi Zhijian took the cigar and bit it on his mouth. Lai Hao took out the lighter and helped Shi Zhijian burn the cigar himself.
"Ah Jian, to be honest, you are also a member of the Legislative Council and an official now. Only eating cigars is enough to be dignified. Why don't you change your taste?"
Shi Zhijian blew out the smoke and said with a smile: "It's just a habit. In many cases, it's not just the identity that changes, but the habit that has to change! I'm a nostalgic person!"
"Then do you know that what I like most about you is that you are nostalgic and loyal!" Lai Hao said excitedly, holding a cigar between his fingers.
Shi Zhijian glanced at Lai Hao: "Are you here to help Brother Luo as a lobbyist?"
"No, help myself!" Lame Hao said, "Brother Luo is too shy to beg you again! Besides, he probably thinks that the ICAC can't help him, so he doesn't take it seriously at all. But I'm different.
I always feel like the ghost guy is serious this time!"
Shi Zhijian was slightly startled, feeling as if the lame hao and Lei Luo in front of him had been swapped.
In the previous life, Lei Luo was as afraid of the Independent Commission Against Corruption as a tiger, and he was the first to run away due to warning signs.
However, the lame man continued to act arrogantly and acted domineeringly in the face of the investigation by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and was eventually imprisoned.
"What, Ah Jian, am I wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Lame Hao asked when he saw Shi Zhijian looking strange.
"Oh, it's nothing. What do you want me to do?" Shi Zhijian laughed.
"You also know that although I listened to you and quit the world, quitting the world is easier said than done."
"Are you still entangled with Jianghu?"
"A little bit!" Lame Hao said, "If these ghost guys investigate, I know what you said, can I avoid it?"
"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?" Shi Zhijian asked Laihao seriously.
"Of course it's the truth! Otherwise I wouldn't have come to find you, let alone play chess with your stinky chess basket!" Lame Hao said while chewing his cigar and turning around.
"If you didn't listen to me before, you will most likely be in trouble this time! You might as well go to jail for 20 to 30 years!" Shi Zhijian said firmly, holding a cigar between his fingers.
Lai Hao's heart skipped a beat, his expression became tense, and he stared at Shi Zhijian, waiting for him to continue.
"But it's better now. You donated most of the money and got the title of Justice of the Peace. Even if those ghosts want to touch you, they have to consider the social impact."
Lame Hao exhaled, "In other words, I have a gold medal to avoid death?"
Shi Zhijian nodded, "You can say that."
"What about Brother Luo? Isn't he also a Justice of the Peace?"
"He is different from you..." Shi Zhijian loosened his tie and said to Lai Hao: "Everyone knows that you quit the world. Everyone knows that Brother Luo's nickname is Thunder Tiger! What's more important is that
, this time the Independent Commission Against Corruption is established, if Brother Luo is smarter, he can follow the trend, be restrained, keep a low profile, and don’t take the initiative to provoke this new department! Especially don’t cause too many things!”
"Brother Luo is so smart, it must be OK!" Laihao said with confidence, "I also heard that he called a meeting of people and taught those people to restrain themselves, just like what you just said!"
Shi Zhijian nodded, "This is the best! But..."
"But what?"
"But things in the world are unpredictable! I'm afraid someone might deliberately distort this drama!"
"Huh?" Lai Hao was stunned for a moment and was about to ask Shi Zhijian what he meant.
Boom, boom, boom!
Outside, Hu Juncai knocked on the door and came in. He held a few freshly baked today's newspapers in his hands and said to Shi Zhijian: "Mr. Shi, I bought the newspapers!"
…
The establishment of the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption caused quite a stir in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong's major newspapers and magazines gave extensive coverage to this newly established government department.
Hong Kong’s Ming Pao: “The Independent Commission Against Corruption reveals its secrets! Get up close and personal with the mysterious department!”
Hong Kong’s Ta Kung Pao: “Bring order to the chaos! The Independent Commission Against Corruption comes out after repeated calls!”
Hong Kong's "Sing Tao Daily": "Integrity and anti-corruption are urgent! The Office of the Commissioner has been established, and we will sweep away the holes with thunder!"
A dozen or so Chinese-language newspapers published today almost invariably talked about the "integrity" content that they usually avoid, and the newly established Independent Commission Against Corruption seems to be recruiting troops to prepare for a big fight.
It was also in these newspapers that people learned that the Independent Commission Against Corruption was the brainchild of future Hong Kong Governor John Maliho and Sir Pak Li-Qu, but the idea came from Legislative Council member Shek Chi-kin.
Shi Zhijian's previous motions such as the abolition of Qing laws and regulations shocked Hong Kong after they were passed. This time, the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established, which made people full of expectations.
