Seeing that Bailiqu was still staring at his statue, Mai Lihao coughed and said, "Sir Bailiqu, do you have something to do with me?"
"Oh!" Bailiqu came to his senses and looked at Mai Lihao on crutches: "I have something important to ask you."
"Really? Then please come to my study to discuss it in detail."
…
The private study of the Governor of Hong Kong, Mark Maliho, can be called a huge private library. It contains books, catalogs, etc. collected by successive Governors of Hong Kong. Many books were heavy and bulky and were not taken away when the Governor left office.
The more you accumulate.
At this time, Mai Lihao had someone make coffee and sat comfortably on the sofa. Sir Bailiqu sat opposite him, leaning his cane on the coffee table with a calm posture.
"Sir Sir, is there something you can talk about now?" Mai Lihao asked, holding a cup of coffee and crossing his legs.
Bailiqu got straight to the point: "It's about Lei Luoyi!"
"Oh, really? Isn't this case handled by the Independent Commission Against Corruption?"
"Indeed! We had originally brought Lei Luo to trial last night, and he and his men, Lard Boy, began to waver in the face of our irrefutable evidence..."
"That's good. As long as he is willing to confess, then let's follow the procedure! But it's better not to make this kind of thing too public, after all, it's not a good thing! Besides, corruption and bribery in our Hong Kong police force is not something that happens in a day or two.
Everyone knows it well, so it’s best to handle it quietly to avoid any negative impact!" Mai Lihao said while sipping his coffee.
"Originally I thought so too, but -" Bailiqu looked at Mai Lihao, "but someone came out halfway and was willing to vouch for Lei Luo and the two of them. In desperation, I had no choice but to take the overall situation into consideration and agreed to the other party.
!”
"How unreasonable! Who dares to be so bold as to guarantee Lei Luo?" Mai Lihao was furious and asked Baili Qu angrily.
When Bailiqu saw Mai Lihao's reaction, he was delighted, but on the surface he pretended to be helpless and said: "Who else could it be? If it was an ordinary person, forget it, but that person was the third-class earl of the British Empire and the first Chinese member of parliament.
, In addition, he is also your friend, the Governor of Hong Kong----"
Mai Lihao suddenly stood up, his eyes were shocked: "Could it be----"
"That's right, it's Shi Zhijian! Councilor Shi!" Bailiqu said the name "Shi Zhijian" and felt relieved all over.
"How could it be him? How could he be like this?" Mai Lihao looked excited.
Bailiqu stood up and comforted Mai Lihao and said: "Master Governor of Hong Kong, don't be excited! Speaking of which, Senator Shi Zhijian has had an affair with the big tiger Lei Luo for a long time! It is said that Lei Luo is still Shi Zhijian's boss in private, and Shi Zhijian is willing to act as his spy.
Old! In addition, Shi Zhijian has never been very responsible in doing things. He likes to play tricks, especially cheating for personal gain. As far as I know, he helped Lei Luo a lot when he was a member of the parliament. Even the establishment of the Flying Tigers was Shi Zhijian's help.
Lei Luo suggested it!"
Bailiqu knew that it was very difficult to kill a snake like Shi Zhijian with a stick, so the best way was to hold it within seven inches and slowly play with it to death!
As soon as Mak Lihao heard this, he immediately walked with his hands behind his back: "Is it impossible? Although I know some things in this area, my dear Shi is not that kind of person! He has always been responsible and worked for the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong.
He also made many suggestions and contributions!”
Bailiqu did not expect that Mai Lihao would value Shi Zhijian so much, and immediately sneered: "Mr. Governor of Hong Kong, in fact people can change! What's more, Shi Zhijian is an out-and-out Chinese, not a son of the British Empire.
According to their Chinese language, if the people are not of my race, their hearts must be different!"
Seeing that Mai Lihao had his hands behind his back, he frowned and said nothing.
Bailiqu continued to press: "What's more, what happened last night was all true! Many people have seen it with their own eyes. He, Shi Zhijian, is willing to guarantee Lei Luo and Lard Zai. Now that these two people have absconded, then it stands to reason that Shi Zhijian
You must bear legal responsibility!"
Mai Lihao frowned even more.
Bailiqu walked over and stared at Mai Lihao: "I know this matter is difficult to handle. After all, where is Shi Zhijian's special identity? However, under state laws, a prince who breaks the law is as guilty as the common people! In this case, why do you, the Governor of Hong Kong, need to protect you?
What about him?"
Mak Lihao's face turned ugly. Just when he was hesitating, a voice said: "Are you telling me that the Governor of Hong Kong is protecting me?"
While he was talking, he saw a man in white walking in from outside the study in a cool manner. Judging from his demeanor, it was obvious that he was familiar with the place!
"Shi Zhijian? Why are you here?" Bailiqu was shocked when he saw the person coming.
Shi Zhijian, a man in white, looked at the surprised Bailiqu and smiled slightly: "Since you can be here, why can't I? By the way, this Hong Kong Governor's study is a restricted area for me, Shi?"
In one sentence, ask yourself about Bailiqu.
Bailiqu and Shi Zhijian's eyes met, and their eyes intertwined, crackling, causing the flash of swords!
…
"I'm sorry, it was me who asked my dear Shi to come here! I have some things to consult with him about the construction of three universities!" Seeing Shi Zhijian and Bailiqu confronting each other, Mai Lihao hurriedly interrupted the two of them.
Bailiqu laughed: "Really? It turned out to be a consulting and education matter. I thought someone was here to apologize!"
"I'm sorry?" Shi Zhijian said, pretending to be surprised, "How can I say this? What crime do I have?"
"Are you still pretending? You vouched for Narello last night, and now he has fled to Thailand. What do you want the Independent Commission Against Corruption to do?" Bailiqu asked loudly.
"Really? It turns out it happened last night! I thought Sir Bailiqu came here today to propose a reward for me, but I didn't expect that he wanted to punish me?!" Shi Zhijian showed a surprised expression.
"Reward you? Dream on!" Bailiqu sneered, "I really don't know why you are so shameless? I'm so ashamed of you!"
"We'll talk about shame or not later. Can you two listen to me for a few words first?" Shi Zhijian said with a smile.
Bailiqu still wanted to reprimand, but Mai Lihao stopped him and said to Shi Zhijian: "If you have anything to say, you can tell me!"
Shi Zhijian walked towards the sofa elegantly.
Mai Lihao also walked back to the sofa and sat down.
Bailiqu stared, but had no choice but to sit back first, thinking to himself, let's see how you die?!
Shi Zhijian sat on the sofa. At this time, the Hong Kong servant brought coffee and put it in front of him. Shi Zhijian said politely: "Thank you!"
Seeing Shi Zhijian's pretentious gesture, Bailiqu curled his lips and really wanted to whip him to death with his civilized stick!
Shi Zhijian took a sip of coffee, then raised his head and said: "Actually, I was also in a crisis last night! If I hadn't appeared in time, the whole of Hong Kong might have been in chaos now!"
Bailiqu rolled his eyes and said, "Scaremongering! Let's see how you defend yourself?!"
Hong Kong Governor John Makley also looked at Shi Zhijian: "How do you say this?"
"As we all know, Lei Luo is a well-known big tiger and has been a powerful figure in the Hong Kong police for many years. I have also socialized with him before, and the relationship was not bad at the time. However, after I found out that he had been corrupt, accepted bribes, and bent the law for personal gain, I was no longer so.
Come and go!”
"Quia! You continue to quibble!" Bailiqu squeezed out another sentence.
Shi Zhijian ignored him and continued: "Lei Luo has been in the Hong Kong police force for so many years, and the relationship between his subordinates and superiors is extremely complicated! He is like a towering tree. If he wants to uproot it, he will definitely destroy the surrounding people.
All other trees have been damaged! By then we will not have to uproot one tree, but the entire forest!”
"Whoosh!" Mai Lihao took a breath of cold air.
Bailiqu's eyelids twitched a few times, and he finally understood what Shi Zhijian was talking about.
"To be specific, if the ICAC officers insisted on detaining Lei Luo for interrogation last night, and if Lei Luo really confessed by then, then in addition to the retired senior police officials, those involved in Hong Kong and British affairs would also be implicated.
Various government departments, such as the Fire Department, Water Conservancy Bureau, Land Bureau, and more grassroots units!"
"One Lei Luo can paralyze the operation of the entire Hong Kong government! Everyone will be a suspect by then. Where can we find so many replacements?"
Shi Zhijian stopped Mai Lihao and Bailiqu with one sentence.
At this time, even Bailiqu had to admit that what Shi Zhijian said made sense. If Lei Luo were to pull out the others, then the entire Hong Kong would probably not have a complete department. It would be strange if it was not paralyzed by then!
"So if you let one Lei Luo go, you can restore Hong Kong's stability! If Lei Luo doesn't return, everyone else will be fine. In addition, Lei Luo is anxious to leave this time. A large amount of his real estate and stocks can be confiscated. By then it will definitely be
This is a large amount of money, which can be used for the construction of three universities! In this way, we can kill two birds with one stone, which is why we have to let Lei Luo go!"
Shi Zhijian's words were so reasonable that even Bailiqu had to admit that letting Lei Luo leave seemed to be the best choice.
Rather than catching a big tiger and bringing him to justice, and then involving countless police bosses and heads of government departments, making them worried, it would be easier to turn a blind eye.
What tempted Mai Lihao the most was the real estate and stocks that Shi Zhijian promised Lei Luo could not take away. That was definitely a large amount. Not to mention building universities, maybe more hospitals and public institutions could be built.
Library, etc., these are all achievements!
"Well said! Now I know your good intentions, dear Shi!" Mak Lihao stood up excitedly, walked to Shi Zhijian, patted his shoulder and said: "You have done nothing for the British Empire and the people of Hong Kong.
You are too worried! Even at the expense of destroying your own reputation! Dear Shi, you are the truly great person!"
Bailiqu rolled his eyes when he heard this, wondering for a long time whether he was a treacherous minister instead of a loyal minister! On the contrary, Shi Zhijian turned into a loyal and good man!
"As for the matter of copying Lei Luo's house -" Mai Lihao patted Shi Zhijian's shoulder again, "I still need you to handle it. As for others -" he glanced at Baili Qu intentionally or unintentionally, "I can't believe it!"
