Chapter 52: Arresting a good person and claiming credit? Do you think your life is too long?
Mongkok.
In a private room of a restaurant.
Li Fu, Wang Jianguo and others who were invited had nothing to do, so they grabbed the newspaper on the table and read it meticulously.
If it were when they first arrived, they certainly wouldn't have had this kind of focus, but now it's different. The five of them accepted Mr. Cheng's employment and would receive a reward of 50,000 for arresting a criminal. In the absence of any source of information, reading newspapers and collecting current news have become their best ways to find criminals.
"Yesterday evening, a gold shop on Temple Street was smashed by a group of masked robbers, who stole a batch of gold jewelry worth millions of dollars. No one was injured at the scene..."
"Yesterday morning..."
After a while, Wang Jianguo, who had finished watching one side, sighed, "I didn't pay much attention to the news before, so I didn't notice it much. After paying attention, I found that Hong Kong City is not peaceful. Every day, people are missing, gold shops are robbed, or gang members fight. It turns out that we live in a place of dire straits."
Li Fu, who was standing by, smiled and said, "I think it's okay. Hong Kong is not a big city, but it's not a small city either. If an accident happens in every place, it can fill up the entire news section."
The other person nodded and said, "That's right. At least we haven't encountered any robbery, murder or kidnapping on the streets in the days since we arrived in Hong Kong. The only kidnapping was committed by us."
"Speak softly, so no one can hear you."
"..."
A moment later, Cheng Long, who had arrived late, sat down opposite Li Fu: "You haven't ordered anything yet, don't be polite, I'll treat you tonight..."
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng."
Li Fu, Wang Jianguo and others did not hesitate to go out and call the waiter and ordered a large table of home-cooked dishes.
Most of the food was ordered by Xiaofu. The other four people ordered very little. Their appetite was far less than Xiaofu. This guy ate to his heart's content and could eat the amount for seven or eight people in one meal.
To use the words of a certain killer, it means being well fed and feeling at peace.
After the waiter finished serving the dishes, Cheng Long asked someone to close the door and whispered, "I came to you this time because I found a few new targets, but they are all police officers, and one of them is a superintendent of the serious crime team. I wonder if you have the courage to do it?"
"It is indeed difficult to arrest four people at once, and it will be very troublesome afterwards, so we cannot make any mistakes. Once we make a mistake, we will face a strong police hunt."
What Li Fu was considering was not whether to accept the task, but the risks he would have to bear by taking it.
The Superintendent of the Serious Crime Squad is a police officer at the gazette level and his status is not low.
If this is the only business.
They really need to consider whether it's worth it. They can't risk their lives for two hundred thousand dollars.
However, considering that their cooperation is a long-term one, the employer will only assign specific tasks occasionally, and at other times, they can play freely.
So even if this order is very risky, they have to do it beautifully.
After understanding Li Fu's attitude, Cheng Long smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know where he lives and where he hides the drugs. Arresting them is no different from arresting anyone else."
"Mr. Cheng, the police chief is in a high position, how could he do such a useless thing as giving birth to a son?"
Li Fu couldn't figure it out.
Since the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in Hong Kong in 74, the Hong Kong government has always adhered to the principle of high salaries to maintain integrity. The salary of a police officer is enough to support a whole family.
The salary of a police superintendent plus various benefits can allow him to live a comfortable life. There is really no need to break the law to make money. "Greed is endless. If a person gets a monthly salary of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands for a long time, he will want 200,000, 300,000, or even 1 million or 10 million. Everyone wants to live in a villa and drive a luxury car. It doesn't matter if they don't have the ability. Those who have the ability but lack self-control will easily go down the road of crime."
Before coming, Cheng Long asked his connections to check and found out that Luo Huan, a senior inspector of the anti-drug team, had recently detained a drug dealer named Lao Shuming, who was the one who became a fan of Lu Jun in "The Desperate Couple".
In other words, Luo Huan has discovered that her lover Lu Jun is secretly cooperating with Lao Shuming, and she may be shot at any time.
Cheng Long gave Li Fu a task, actually he wanted to save Luo Huan.
Although this female inspector was not so selfless, after investigating the truth of the matter, she chose to shield Superintendent Lu, which laid the seeds for his tragic death shortly afterwards.
But Luo Huan has always been committed to fighting drug dealers, and her past achievements cannot be ignored because of one mistake.
"Mr. Cheng, knowing the address and the place where the drugs are hidden will make things much easier. Don't worry, we will send the person to you tomorrow night at the latest."
Li Fu's mouth was full of oil and his expression was serious, which looked a bit funny. Cheng Long held back his laughter and glanced at the newspaper on the table. He said, "By the way, I'll give you another target. The Rainy Night Butcher in the newspaper is named Lin Guoyu. He is a taxi driver from the Mong Kok car dealership..."
"He was discriminated against by his stepmother and siblings since he was young, which led to long-term extreme emotional repression and psychological distortion. He killed three prostitutes and thought he was doing justice. It's really outrageous."
"By the way, Lin Guoyu likes to dismember bodies after killing people. He takes photos every time he kills someone. After you catch someone, you can go to his house to collect evidence to avoid misunderstanding that I ordered you to kill innocent people."
Cheng Long was still very confident in Wang Jianguo and others. Even if they killed innocent people indiscriminately, they would not interfere as long as they could make money. But Li Fu was different.
If he doesn't let Li Fu see the photos taken by Lin Guoyu, he probably won't hand the person over to him.
"Mr. Cheng, you even know who the Rainy Night Butcher is? How did you do it?" Wang Jianguo and others were shocked and said in disbelief.
"Don't ask about these. Anyway, the people I asked you to arrest must have deserved their punishment. Don't think of arresting innocent people to take credit. I know whether a person deserves death or not."
Cheng Long's worries were unfounded. Wang Jianguo and his companions were different from Li Fu. The four of them were killed in Tsukamoto. When the 100 million revenge fund was launched, talking about killing was like talking about where to eat in the evening. They all acted as if they didn't care at all.
"Mr. Cheng, you are joking. How dare we do that?"
Wang Jianguo and others laughed awkwardly.
They actually had this idea.
Now seeing Cheng Long's terrifying intelligence capabilities, his restless thoughts instantly disappeared.
The police knew nothing about the Rainy Night Butcher, but Mr. Cheng could tell who the murderer was just by looking at the newspaper. He even knew that the murderer had been abused as a child.
Catching a good person and taking credit for it?
Do you think your life is too long?
"Just understand it in your heart, do your job well, and call me later."
Cheng Long glanced at Wang Jianguo and the others, left the information of Lu Jun and his three subordinates, and then got up and left.
Ten seconds later.
Xiao Fu, who was enjoying his meal, suddenly stopped and said, "Jianguo, didn't Mr. Cheng say he would pay the bill? Did he pay the bill just now?"
"It seems not." Wang Jianguo shook his head, then looked at the pile of empty plates next to Li Fu and said hesitantly: "Brother Fu, how about we just split the bill?"
Li Fu: “…”
