Chapter Forty-Eight: Reputation Collapses

"How long has the ghost been in?"

"It's been six hours."

"Okay, it's almost time."

Qin Yi put down the phone, walked into the office of the special investigation team, and slapped his face, "Received the tip, arrest the suspect, everyone bring all the equipment, and set off in ten minutes." ”

“yes,sir!”

Maozai, Zhang Zhiheng and others immediately began to put on body armor and check firearms.

After completing the preparations, Qin Yi jumped into the car with the whole group and drove out of the police headquarters.

The car sped all the way in the direction of Sai Kung District, and soon turned into a low, dilapidated slum.

Qin Yi was the first to get out of the car and took his men into the alley.

In the dark of the night, a dog barked nearby.

There was a rustling sound next to him, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at these uninvited guests.

Qin Yi didn't bother to care that these might be fugitives and voyeurs, and ran all the way to the dock.

A few minutes later, it stopped outside a small two-story building.

"Second floor, third room." Qin Yi stretched out his hand and pointed, "The suspect is inside." ”

"A person, who may carry a gun, should go up cleanly."

Zhang Zhiheng nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Sir Qin, Chen Zhijie and I will go up, and the cat boy Zhang Ling will cover me." ”

Qin Yi nodded and patted Zhang Zhiheng and Chen Zhijie, "Up." ”

Chen Zhijie took the lead in rushing out, grabbed the railing on the second floor with an arrow step, climbed up lightly, lowered his body and touched the window.

Zhang Zhiheng, who was walking the stairs, also arrived at the door, and the two of them glanced at each other, kicked the door open, and rushed in.

There was a commotion in the room, and after a few seconds there was no movement.

Zhang Zhiheng and Chen Zhijie walked out with a person and came to Qin Yi on their feet.

"Sir Qin, that's him."

Qin Yi took the flashlight and shook it on the other party's face, "Luo Yaoming?!" ”

"It's me." Luo Yaoming's face was ashen, and he was wearing crumpled clothes, looking very decadent, "Officer, I ask to be a tainted witness, and you must ensure my safety." ”

"We will." Qin Yi smiled, "Take it away." ”

Qin Yi took the special investigation team to escort Luo Yaoming back to the headquarters and interrogate him personally.

Luo Yaoming happily explained what he knew, and found out a lot of inside stories.

The interrogation lasted until dawn, Qin Yi looked at the tired Luo Yaoming, and asked seriously, "Does the disappearance of your boss Ma Zhihua have anything to do with you?" ”

"Nope!" Luo Yaoming directly denied, "He is so powerful, if you want him to disappear silently, it must be his boss or some big person." ”

"Is it because he's missing that you want to run?"

"Sort of." Luo Yaoming sighed, "Actually, I knew that something was going to happen after he disappeared, but I still didn't have time, I didn't expect it so soon." ”

"Have you ever heard of landlords?" Qin Yi suddenly asked.

Luo Yaoming was stunned for a moment, his face full of surprise, "You all know it?" ”

"Of course." Qin Yi smiled slightly, "Otherwise, how could we come to you, it's not that you have a problem, it's that you have a problem above you and brought you out." ”

Luo Yaoming's face was full of remorse, "I knew that as soon as something happened to the Asia-Pacific Communication Center, everyone would be finished." ”

Qin Yi knocked on the table and interrupted Luo Yaoming, "Tell me what you know." ”

"I don't know much, I don't even know how many people the landlord will have." Luo Yaoming was a little embarrassed, but he still honestly said some things he knew.

After the interrogation, Qin Yi led someone to send Luo Yaoming to the detention room.

personally guarded the detention, never leaving an inch, even Luo Yaoming ate and drank, Qin Yi had to check it before he could do it.

It wasn't until three days later that Qin Yi took Luo Yaoming into custody and handed him over to the Independent Commission Against Corruption under the heavy protection of the police force.

Ma Xuwen's face was very wonderful at that time, looking at the large number of reporters around him, he had to pinch his nose and say thank you.

However, to the surprise of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, a batch of explosive news suddenly appeared in the newspapers around Hong Kong Island.

The newspaper also displayed a large amount of evidence and photos, exposing the manipulation of the stock market by the landlords' association, insider trading, money laundering, and fraud by the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

Television stations in various parts of Southeast Asia did special programs to clean up the whole incident, and also showed a lot of recordings.

The involvement of the Securities and Futures Commission in the laundering of money in the stock market is not the most exciting, and the matter of the landlords' association is also involved in the case of the St. George's Knight Investment Company.

According to media revelations, the mastermind behind the case is not only Commissioner Hugheson.

It is astonishing that the other major shareholder of St. George's Investment Company turned out to be the secretary of the Governor.

Everyone knows what is going on with the governor's secretary, and the originally confusing case has a clear point.

For a time, public opinion on Hong Kong Island was in an uproar.

Where can the customers who are miserable by the investment company still take care of the governor or not, and if they can't come up with the money, they will be ruined.

There are seven or eight people who have jumped off the building because of loan sharks, and the rest of the manpower can't even keep the house.

The angry crowd again surrounded the Doge's palace and demanded an explanation.

It comes down to a word.

RNM, get the money back!

The Governor, who was so frustrated, came forward to issue a statement, saying that he had no knowledge of the matter, and that it was entirely the responsibility of the secretary and had nothing to do with him.

At the same time, the Governor said that he would strictly urge all parties to solve the case and severely punish the criminals.

Eventually, the Governor revealed that he would coordinate with HSBC to take out the $500 million deposited by St. George's Company in the vault and return it to the victims who were in difficulty.

After some speech, the situation that was about to get out of control was finally stabilized.

But the next day, the situation spiraled out of control again.

In order to appease the people, the governor, who at the same time expressed his responsibility for the people, personally participated in the return of stolen goods.

In front of a large number of reporters and television cameras, the HSBC manager opened the vault, and then the governor issued legal documents, took out piles of dollar bills, and handed them out to the victims.

At first, the victims were grateful to the Governor and Dade, but when they turned around, they realized that something was wrong.

The dollar that was issued seems、It seems、Something is not quite right。

So there were counterfeit experts on the spot to identify them, and the final identification result was that these US dollar bills were all fake.

As soon as the news came out, the scene was in an uproar.

The Governor was stunned, and so was HSBC.

In front of the whole world, the Governor of Hong Kong Island opened everyone's eyes and used counterfeit money to return the stolen goods to the victims.

The bank was suspected of using counterfeit banknotes to replace the real banknotes, which was a lot of fun, and the stock price plummeted at that time, nearly halved.

The board of directors almost had a collective heart attack and collapsed.

A good show made the ground full of chicken feathers, and the governor was so angry that he wanted to tear everyone present to pieces.

After watching such a good show, the citizens of Hong Kong Island were very excited, and they paid attention to the newspaper every day to see what new fun they had.

For a time, the circulation of newspapers on Hong Kong Island soared, and the ratings of current affairs TV programs soared.

However, this fun did not last long, and the governor's palace issued a gag order, and newspapers, magazines, and television stations were not allowed to report any news about the incident.

The fig leaf of press freedom was torn off and thrown to the ground.

Hong Kong Island can't be sent locally, but it can't stop the surrounding areas from reporting all the time.

Subsequently, the citizens of Hong Kong Island witnessed a new farce.

In the course of the trial of the case, some of the suspects died on the spot, and some retracted their confessions in court.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) was implicated in a series of scandals.

This was not the end of the matter, and the judge acquitted Hugheson and the Governor's secretary when the evidence was conclusive, and laid all the charges on the landlords' council and the dead officials and councillors.

……

Qin Yi folded the newspaper and sighed, "Hong Kong Island's judicial fairness, cooking and press freedom signboards are completely smashed." ”

Jian Aowei smiled, "Smash it, smash it, it's not much." ”

"But the reputation of the Independent Commission Against Corruption is bad."

Qin Yi threw the newspaper away, "They made it themselves, and they can't complain about others." ”

"I heard that Lu Zhilian has been promoted, do you know the boss?" Jian Aowei asked curiously.

"I only found out yesterday." Qin Yi laughed, "The more this time, the more you need image public relations." Brother Lian is an excellent propaganda example, and he must be written about it, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption wants to rely on him to save his reputation. ”

"It looks like Lu Zhilian's career will be very smooth in the future." Jian Aowei said meaningfully.

"After all, it is the golden sign of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and even the mascot has to be offered, not to mention that Brother Lian is still capable." Qin Yi picked up the wine glass, "Come, let's celebrate Brother Lian's smooth sailing in the future, step by step." ”

Jian Aowei also raised his glass and said with a smile, "I wish the boss a fortune, I made a lot of money this time." ”

"It doesn't matter how much you earn or how little you earn, the main thing is to be happy." Qin Yi laughed heartily.

"Then celebrate your promotion, boss." Jian Aowei raised his glass, "Chief Inspector Qin." ”
