At ten o'clock in the evening, the kidnapping of the new wealthy "Xiao Li Sheng" has spread throughout Hong Kong. TVB's "Evening News" focused on this explosive news. At the entrance of Canossa Hospital, there were also many reporters who wanted to interview the people involved, but Canossa Hospital is a private hospital and no reporters were allowed to enter.

The Serious Crime Unit of the Operations Department of the Hong Kong Police Force took over this high-profile attempted kidnapping case as soon as possible. A senior inspector surnamed Wei came to make a note for Li Xuan. According to Inspector Wei, the police found 31 7.62mm imitation 54 pistol bullet casings at the scene of the robbery, and the white car used in the crime was also found in Ta Kwu Ling, Sai Kung, an hour ago, but the car had been burned.

Li Xuan never had any expectations for the Hong Kong police, even if the suspect could be identified? The later thief Zhang Ziqiang robbed 160 million Hong Kong dollars and Hong Kong dollars worth of cash at Kai Tak Airport, but was finally released by the court due to lack of evidence, and the police had to pay him millions in compensation for the loss of reputation. This made Zhang Ziqiang more and more arrogant, and unscrupulously began to plan a series of kidnapping cases of wealthy businessmen.

So compared with the Hong Kong police, Li Xuan is more willing to believe in his eldest brother. That night, Li Ke returned to his brother's hospital room again.

"I've already found out some news, the gang that kidnapped you is a Vietnamese boat man, who has been doing maritime business before, and just bought five imitation Black Star pistols on credit from the Gun Rental Party two days ago!" Li Ke said to his brother.

Hearing that it was the Vietnamese boat people who did it to him, Li Xuan was a lot more relieved, it seems that it should be an ordinary kidnapping case with the intention of making money.

Last July, the British government signed an international convention in Geneva on the issue of Vietnamese refugees. Hong Kong is listed as the No. 1 Harbor of Hostage, which receives refugees who have fled Vietnam, and then receives them after screening by Western countries, or repatriates them to Vietnam. As a result, as many as 200,000 Vietnamese fled to Hong Kong throughout the 80s, putting a heavy burden on the economy and law and order of the whole of Hong Kong.

After arriving in Hong Kong, Vietnamese migrants were quarantined in a boat people's center, waiting for the United States, Britain and other Western countries to screen and issue visas. However, there are always some thorns who do not want to be controlled, secretly flee the isolation and resettlement areas and smuggle into Hong Kong. As they do not have legal status, they are naturally unable to engage in legitimate occupations, and smuggling, drug trafficking, robbery, and robbery have become their main source of income.

Maritime business is actually smuggling, transporting goods from Hong Kong to ships on the high seas by speedboat, or back to Hong Kong from cargo ships. Although Hong Kong is a free trade port, there are always some goods that need to go through special channels, such as car thefts that occur every day in Hong Kong. In particular, those stolen luxury cars generally do not choose to sell the stolen goods locally, and these cars from improper sources naturally cannot be transported out of Hong Kong through an open and honest way.

However, this kind of business is also very risky, and in order to avoid the pursuit of the Hong Kong Marine Police's anti-smuggling team, most smugglers choose lightweight, fast boats. However, the small size of the boat means that the ability to resist wind and waves is poor, and in case of a big wave, the boat may capsize and die. And in addition to the water police and wind and waves, the biggest risk is to meet the black and eat the black. In the event of capsizing and arrest, most of them still have a chance to make a comeback, but when they encounter black and eat black, they can basically only be buried in the belly of the fish.

"I have found out, and the person who is going to kidnap you in the afternoon is a Vietnamese Chinese named Ge Bingxiong. He sent a batch of goods to sea for a big guy before, but the boat capsized in a storm. The owner urged them to repay their debts, and Ge Bingxiong was desperate, just seeing that the newspapers were full of news about you, a newly rich man. So they are eyeing you fat sheep, and they are ready to blackmail us from our family!" Li Ke continued, "After the kidnapping failed in the afternoon, one of them was shot and wounded, they should have hid in the Kowloon Walled City to find someone to heal!"

The Kowloon Walled City is the most chaotic area in Hong Kong (China does not care, Britain does not care, Hong Kong does not care). There is no government or police station in the walled city, and the entire walled city is controlled by several major gangs, which can be described as a hotbed of crime, 80% of Hong Kong's narcotics flow from here, and brothels and gambling houses are everywhere inside.

Naturally, it is also a great hiding place for fugitives from all walks of life, and more recently there have even been robbers who rob passers-by directly near Kowloon Wall, and then turn around and flee back to the Walled City before the police arrive. Even if the Hong Kong police see the suspect from a distance, they will never go into the city to pursue him. So much so that all kinds of wanted criminals in Macau, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia will use this place as their last refuge when they have no way out.

The Kowloon Walled City was first built by the Qing government to fight against Victoria City on Hong Kong Island on the other side of the bay. Later, the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories were annexed by the British. The Manchu government argued to turn the Kowloon Walled City into a consulate for Qing officials, a Chinese enclave in the midst of a British colony.

In 1948, the British government in Hong Kong wanted to enter and take over the walled city, but was resisted by the residents of the walled city, which was secretly supported by the Nationalist government. As a result, after 1949, it became an anarchic zone that the British government did not have the right to enter, and the Chinese government did not send people to manage it.

It was not until China and Britain signed a final agreement on the Hong Kong issue that the British government, with the tacit consent of the Chinese side, began to rectify this social cancer. But the Hong Kong police have tried to enter the city several times, but have been unsuccessful due to strong resistance. It was not until the 90s when Hong Kong was about to return to the motherland that the British government could not bear it anymore and mobilized the police of all over Hong Kong to forcibly raze the entire walled city to the ground.

In other parts of Hong Kong, if a patient with a gunshot wound does not come from the right place, ordinary private doctors would never dare to admit him. But the doctors in the Kowloon Walled City don't have to worry about the police coming to your door, as long as you can afford the medical bills, they can help you get the bullet at any time.

"I have already released the news, 1 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the exact whereabouts of this group of Vietnamese, 2 million Hong Kong dollars to buy Ge Bingxiong's head, and other subordinates involved in the kidnapping, 500,000 yuan each!" Li Ke sneered with a sneer on his face, "It's not good for us and Letang to break into Kowloon Village directly, but I don't believe that the people inside will fight to earn this extra money!"

This is the difference between the local snake and the dragon crossing the river, the local associations in Hong Kong may not be as ruthless as the foreign forces, but that is because they regard this place as their foundation and operate it with their hearts.

The Royal Hong Kong police may not have much of an eye on this kidnapping case until now, but Li Xuan's eldest brother has already locked down who did it. Most of the firearms in Hong Kong have flowed out of the gun-renting syndicate, and these Vietnamese are just down-and-out outsiders, so the gun-renting party is naturally willing to sell the limelight and Letang to save face and sell their customers.

"Double the bonus, I want them to live!" Li Xuan said indifferently, after experiencing today's events, his mentality has changed a lot, "Sometimes people die not the greatest pain, but a relief." There is no greater pain in life than life is worse than death!"
