283 Contemporary Watergate (3/3)
Zeng Xiangrong opened the report, and when he saw the report, his pupils dilated violently.
This report shocked the world.
According to the closing report provided by Zhou Xingzu, the entire Cold War operation was actually a crime case written and directed by Liu Jiehui.
According to the confessions of the two arrested bandits, they were both members of the serious crime team who had been dismissed and had known Liu Jiehui well. Lau Kit-fai promised them a commission of HK$10 million each, and found a total of five dismissed police officers to carry out the criminal operation.
Lau Kit-fai's purpose is to get 92 million Hong Kong dollars.
Among them, he alone received 33 million, and the remaining 50 million yuan was divided equally among the five bandits.
Originally, everything went according to plan, and the 33 million that Liu Jiehui brought to the transaction would be taken away by the bandits first. and the more than 50 million that were stolen from the dog car were hidden in the trunk of Liu Jiehui's private car. Liu Jiehui personally transported the dirty money away, washed it and then distributed it to them.
It's just that something went wrong, and the bandit who fought with Liu Jiehui did a fake show, wanted to kill Liu Jiehui, and swallowed the money alone. That's why the fight on the Tai Kok Tsui Highway occurred, and this bandit really succeeded in killing Liu Jiehui.
Needless to say, the next case will not be said.
It was nothing more than that the bandits who ran away were betrayed by the ship boss, and after Zhou Sir took over the command of Operation Cold War, he quickly captured the bandits. Later, after recording the confession, the bandits committed suicide in the bathroom.
Zeng Xiangrong glanced at Zhou Xingzu deeply, this closing report seems to be very reasonable, but there are many illogical places. You must know that Lau Kit-fai is the deputy commissioner of the police force, and the next commissioner is determined. How could he pay for his own son's life for tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and directed and acted in a shocking robbery.
What's more, Liu Jiehui graduated from a prestigious university, and his personality has always been stable and upright, so he is not this kind of person at all.
However, it was he who proposed to issue a state of emergency order, remove Zhou Xingzu from his position, and seize the command of Operation Cold War. Every step was like a premeditated glance, matching the bandit's confession.
If he didn't design it, then he was designed.
Zeng Xiangrong picked up the pen, signed the closing report, and exchanged the closing report to Zhou Xingzu.
He is just an old guy who is about to retire, and some things are already beyond his control, and it is better to pretend to be deaf and dumb than to pay for his life. This attitude of understanding current affairs is also an important reason why Sir Zeng can become the director.
And the police force has lost one deputy commissioner, and it is no longer allowed to lose a second deputy commissioner.
It's a pity that the descendants of Liu Sir and his faction in the police force are tantamount to being wiped out this time. Even the distribution of power at the top of Hong Kong Island will be affected.
As soon as Zhou Sir made a move, he changed the political pattern of the entire Hong Kong Island.
After Zhou Xingzu walked out of the director's office, he chuckled lightly and handed the case closure report to Kwong Zhili: "Make a copy of the case closure report and send it to the Independent Commission Against Corruption." ”
Kuang Zhi took the report and saluted: "Yes, sir." ”
Zhou Xingzu returned to the office, and he admired Zeng Sir's way of dealing with the world very much. If Sir Zeng, as well as the people above, continue to investigate, there will only be more and more deaths.
So far, a wise decision.
I believe that smart people are definitely not the only one who has sir, including the people above, who will also maintain a tacit understanding.
Because the winner of this confrontation can no longer be changed.
After Zhou Xingzu really became the director, he could be regarded as a member of the highest level. At that time, everyone will be at all levels, and it will be too late to compete for it, and no one will turn over the old accounts again.
The executive head of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, "Mak Kai-man", after receiving the report on the closure of the case from the police force, felt like he had been hit by a pie, and his face was in ecstasy.
If you can really dig up the evidence that Deputy Director Liu Jiehui planned the robbery, embezzlement and bribery. This case will become the most influential case in his political career.
Because the "constitutional-level" decision-making level of the police force personally accepted bribes, this is something that has never happened since the era of the four detectives passed, not to mention that now it is after the 97th century, anti-corruption has become a kind of bottom line.
As a result, "Mak Kai-man" personally set up a special investigation team, which consisted of the chief investigation officer, "Cheung Kwok-bau", and a number of ICAC investigators. In the afternoon of the same day, he personally went to Liu Jiehui's office and home to conduct a detailed investigation.
Cheung Kwok-biu, who is in charge of investigating Lau Kit-fai's police office, brought the host computer back to the ICAC and took people to the car park on a whim.
When he opened the trunk of Lau's private car, the pile of Hong Kong dollars poured out, forming a hill in the parking hill.
Seeing this, all the investigators were stunned.
These evidences completely confirmed Liu Jiehui's crime of planning a robbery, and Mak Qiwen also searched for a lot of evidence of contact with the bandits at Liu Jiehui's home.
The Lau Kit-fai case is known as the contemporary "Watergate Scandal" on Hong Kong Island.
The evidence that was searched out was naturally prepared by Zhou Xingzu in advance. And the process of discovery is a bit strange, but the people of the ICAC investigation team have deliberately ignored these suspicions.
The public did not know that Mak Kai-man, the head of the ICAC, was actually "his own person" who had received the favor of Wong Yiu-bing.
And under the vine, Liu Jiehui is not the only one who is investigated this time.
Including Liang Ziwei, Du Wen, and a group of chief superintendents and senior superintendents of the management team, they are all suspected of being involved in the case. Almost every day, there are police officers from the management team who are invited by the ICAC to have tea.
These few days are undoubtedly the most majestic days after the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
In the end, although there was no substantial evidence, it was possible to indict the members of the management team. But with this case, the career of this group of people has also been summed up. In the next six months, Liang Ziwei and others were successively transferred from their posts, some were transferred to logistics, and some went home on vacation. In the key positions, all of them were replaced by Zhou Sir's people.
Although the police force is also divided into an operational team and a management team, when there are two groups of people, they are all headed by Zhou Sir.
Zeng Xiangrong has not yet retired, and Zhou Sir has already become a real police commissioner.
And a week after the case was closed, it was 9:30 a.m.
Zhou Xingzu stood in front of the gate of the police headquarters, and on a temporary podium, he held a press report on Operation Cold War.
Reporters from all major media outlets on Hong Kong Island, as well as domestic and foreign reporters, crowded in front of the gate, holding microphones and asking questions to the deputy commissioner.
"May I ask Sir Zhou, the former deputy director Liu Jiehui, whether he is really suspected of committing a crime."
"According to the police's closing report, netizens have analyzed a lot of doubts, please ask if the police will investigate the case."
"The Hong Kong Island Watergate incident is known as the No. 1 scandal in the Hong Kong Island Police Force, and Lau Kit-fai is known by the public as the No. 1 black police officer in the history of Hong Kong Island, what do you think about this?"
"Sir Zeng will retire at the end of the year, will Sir Zhou take over the position of director?"
Zhou Xingzu looked confident, answered the reporters' questions one by one, and quietly praised netizens in his heart.
Almighty netizens, many analyses have really guessed correctly. He even saw a post stating that he was the real murderer. After reading the post, Zhou Xingzu wanted to personally invite this netizen to join the police force, and his development in the police force must be very promising.
It's just that when faced with the last question from reporters, he modestly shook his head: "I don't know who will be the next director, but I firmly support the opinions of the high-level." ”
