Chapter 40: Superiority
Liu Changhua was still lying in the hospital and did not wake up, he had no less than ten knife wounds on his body, the most serious one was a cut in the carotid artery, which was also the main reason why he was unconscious.
After Su Jingxian and Lin Zhiyong came out of the ward, they instructed the two uniformed policemen guarding the door to notify them as soon as there was news before returning to Tsim Sha Tsui.
Back in Tsim Sha Tsui, I bought a copy of the China Hong Kong Daily at the roadside newsstand at the Star Ferry Pier, and Su Jingxian hastily flipped through it, and the news in the newspaper was quite decent. There have been no hot news and current events recently, and with the year approaching, the newspaper industry as a whole has been calm.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to Hong Kong news recently, the international news page has gradually moved from the initial exploration period to the right track, since Chen Bingzhong invited an English-speaking editor two days ago, originally every time the English manuscript is translated, Su Jingxian still needs to review it, and now even this step is omitted, Su Jingxian looks like a shopkeeper.
Taking Lin Zhiyong to a food stall on the street, Su Jingxian ordered a few side dishes, and chatted with Lin Zhiyong while the chef was cooking: "How are the two masters preparing recently?" ”
In the past few days, he has been busy dealing with the matter of leprosy, and he has not been to the martial arts gym much, but seeing that the New Year is approaching and the boxing ring in Macau has been built, he realized that the time is pressing.
Chinese attach the most importance to the custom of the New Year, and the number of people going out during family reunions will definitely drop sharply, and if this competition is not completed as soon as possible before the end of the year, it is undoubtedly a waste of a good hand to drag it out.
Listening to Su Jingxian's question, Lin Zhiyong replied: "The two masters are very serious, especially Master Zheng, in addition to exchanging skills with Master Sun, he also pondered his own movements, I saw them fight again yesterday, the movements are very coherent, and they should be able to take the stage." ”
Zheng Hansheng attaches great importance to this competition Su Jingxian is not surprised at all, after all, this martial arts competition is to be published, if it attracts enough people, he can also win a reputation in the Hansheng Boxing Gym in Yuen Long, and recruit apprentices, without having to make difficult calculations.
"That's good, I'm going to deal with this matter in the next two days, you go and inform them to practice a few more times, and be ready to cross the sea and take the stage at any time." Su Jingxian leaned back in his chair, took a cigarette and put it under his nose and sniffed it, "I'll go to the newspaper office to let Uncle Zhong publish the news later, if the sales of China Hong Kong Daily increase this time, I will move the newspaper to Central next year, so that I can't even pull the phone line." ”
In order to save money in the early days of the establishment of the China Hong Kong Newspaper Office, the factory and office were located in Yuen Long, and now Su Jingxian feels that this decision is wrong, because there is no telephone line in Yuen Long, and any notice and news have to be run in person, and the road section of the Yuen Long boundary is uneven, and it is time-consuming and laborious to go back and forth.
"Brother Xian, then again, this time you want to give such a big credit for catching the knife hand to Brother Le and Brother Xiong?" Lin Zhiyong had a puzzled face, "You have met Uncle Mu once, he already has an impression of you, if Uncle Mu pays more attention to you this time because of this incident, you will definitely be promoted to a visit." ”
Su Jingxian shook his head and smiled: "You can't hold all the benefits in your hands, let go of your hands appropriately, and someone will naturally admit it." I've even sat in the position of acting detective now, so what can I do if I am promoted to be a detective? But to spread this credit, Lu Le and Yan Xiong owe me a favor, will they refuse if I have something to say to you in the future? ”
"That's right, Chaozhou people have a saying that they owe everyone a debt of affection, and they don't show it for a lifetime, and it seems that there is no problem for Brother Xian to do this." Although Lin Zhiyong understood Su Jingxian's intentions, he was still a little unwilling, "But I just feel that this matter should have been a great contribution to Brother Xian, and the other two were cheapened for nothing, especially Brother Le, who did not show up from beginning to end, but he became the person who contributed the most in the report handed to the ghost guy." ”
Su Jingxian smiled disappreciably and did not speak.
Lost capital? He didn't think at all that if it weren't for Yan Xiong, he wouldn't have been able to catch Leprosy Wei. As for promotion, what if he is promoted to the official inspector of Tsim Sha Tsui now? It's nothing more than an extra share of black money every month, he has no connections in the police force, and when the time comes, the ghost superintendent can let another person take his place from the beginning, especially this time Liu Changhua was chased and beheaded, which made Su Jingxian feel that the danger of this job is too high, and the police force has a Li Minyou, who knows if there will be a second one? It's good to be an ordinary plainclothes like he is now, at least not to be hated for no reason.
And this time on the two lines of Lu Le and Yan Xiong, it is an unexpected gain for Su Jingxian, Yan Xiong is now being transferred to Sham Shui Po, and he can't see any future for the time being, but Lu Le is now a real Chaozhou rookie, this time he will give the first credit to the future Inspector Zonghua, at least in the future, he can encounter a lot less walls in the police world.
"Don't talk about this, eat, after eating, you go to the martial arts hall, I'll go to the newspaper hall." Seeing that the chef had put the dishes on the table, Su Jingxian picked up the chopsticks and greeted Lin Zhiyong opposite with a smile.

Taipingshan mansion area, Yao Mu's home.
"Brother Mu, I have already asked Li Minyou, the decapitator, to submit his resignation to the ghost guy, and it should be approved soon." Liu Fu sat on the sofa and spoke softly to Yao Mu.
Although Li Minyou's death sentence has been announced, he is the inspector of Yau Ma Tei after all, Liu Changhua has just had an accident, and at this time, Li Minyou was suddenly killed again, and the British must have been the first to find the trouble of Yao Mu, the chief inspector, so Liu Fu asked Li Minyou to submit his resignation to the ghost guy first, which was instructed by Yao Mu in advance.
"I met my brother today, Li Minyou's approval has been passed, and he is no longer considered a member of the police force." Yao Mu squinted his eyes and put the cigar in his hand on the table, "Ah Fu, when the time comes, I am going to let the Chaozhou people take the position when the vacated position in Yau Ma Tei is vacated, do you have any opinions?" ”
Liu Fu was silent for a moment when he heard this, and finally raised his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Mu, you also know that I can't do this kind of thing, but I will find an opportunity to discuss it with President Zhou." ”
He mentioned President Zhou is not only one of the leading tycoons of Hong Kong's industry and commerce, but also a figure with various titles such as non-official member of the Legislative Council, chairman of Po Leung Kuk, Justice of the Peace, chief member of education, Hong Kong representative of the Far Eastern Economic Commission, etc., and is extremely influential in Hong Kong's political and business circles.
The position of Inspector Yau Ma Tei was originally held by Li Minyou, a native of Dongguan, but now Yao Mu proposed to replace him with a native of Chaozhou, and Liu Fu naturally had to ask the president of the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce first.
"No, President Zhou came back from a meeting in India yesterday, and I paid a special visit to him, and he has agreed to this matter." Yao Mu looked at Liu Fu, a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, "President Zhou Zhong said, when I retire after the year, your position as Inspector of the Kowloon District can be taken over by Zhang Rongjin." ”
Yao Mu landed lightly, and Liu Fu's face couldn't help but show ecstasy.
After Yao Mu retires, let Zhang Rongjin take over his position as Inspector of the Kowloon District, doesn't it mean that he can rightfully take over Yao Mu's class and be promoted to Inspector Zonghua?
"Brother Mu......"
Liu Fu was about to speak, but Yao Mu waved his hand lightly: "Don't be happy too early, this time Ah Hua had an accident, and the first brother was very dissatisfied, so Inspector Zonghua's rights should also change a little." ”
"How?" Liu Fu frowned, Yao Mu was qualified to meet the police commissioner at any time, but he didn't, so a lot of news was much behind.
Yao Mu picked up the cigar on the table that was about to go out and took a puff, and the fire rose again: "The positions of Inspector General Hua have been increased to two, in charge of Hong Kong Island and the New Territories, and in the future, Kowloon will be changed to the public jurisdiction of the two Chief Inspectors." ”
Liu Fu took a deep breath when he heard this, and only after a while did he ask again: "Another candidate for Inspector Zonghua?" ”
"Lee wins." Yao Mu did not hesitate to say this name, "In the future, Li will be in charge of the New Territories, and you will be in charge of Hong Kong Island, is there a problem?" ”
Liu Fu weighed it for a moment in his heart and shook his head.
Relatively speaking, the New Territories was the main shipping terminal for morphine and tobacco, and there was plenty of oil and water, but the economy of Hong Kong Island was more developed, and Kowloon was also divided into public jurisdictions, so that the rights and interests of the two chief inspectors were also balanced, and it seems that the British did make such a decision after some consideration.
"Brother Mu, if Ah Hua wakes up......" Liu Fu pondered for a moment, remembering Liu Changhua lying in the hospital, and glanced at Yao Mu.
Yao Mu sighed, looked up at the ceiling, and said slowly: "The situation has been settled, if Ah Hua wakes up, he will know that this matter is related to the people of Dongguan, and he will definitely not give up...... I'll leave it to you. ”
Liu Fu swallowed his saliva and nodded slightly: "Understood, Brother Mu." ”
