Chapter 22, Consciousness
"Sir Yan, something happened to Chief Deng last night, ah... you are injured, too, Chief Yan."
The next day, Yan Guoliang, who was wearing plaster on his arms and bandaged on his head, just as soon as he entered the ICAC gate, Han Zhibang suddenly appeared and said anxiously:
"It's okay, it's all a little injury, just take care of it." Han Zhibang's words made Yan Guoliang's heart sank. Lei Weidong was right. Something happened to Huo Qilin, and he asked immediately.
"What happened to Chief Deng? Is it life-threatening?"
"Captain Deng died at the Tsim Sha Tsui Wharf and was shot five times. Chief Deng himself shot." Han Zhibang said in grief.
He hated and respected Han Zhibang for Fire Qilin.
The hatred is because in the police station that year, Huo Qilin used Han Zhibang as a scapegoat in order to solve the case. If his uncle had not come forward to plead with lard, he would have died in the police station.
Respect is because Huo Qilin taught him a lot of things, allowing him to grow from a little brat who knows nothing to a real man.
"Where is the corpse? Did the murderer catch it?" Yan Guoliang asked.
"In the morgue of the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station, wait for us to claim it." Han Zhibang lowered his head and said, "As for the murderer, the police in Tsim Sha Tsui said that Huo Qilin committed suicide and there was no murderer."
"Without a murderer, how could these bastards shoot themselves five times if they commit suicide? These bastards are not even willing to cover up." Although they have been prepared for a long time, after hearing this conclusion, Yan Guoliang almost fell down.
"Sir Yan, I will mourn you."
Fortunately, Han Zhibang, who was standing beside him, was quick-witted and helped him.
Because I got the news early and my youth has good mentality, Han Zhibang has adjusted his mentality. If he is like Ami, let alone supporting Yan Guoliang, it would be better if he doesn't fall down.
"Let's go and see him off to Chief Deng, and we'll take him home." Yan Guoliang took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and said.
"Yes, sir." Han Zhibang bang bang bang for a lifetime, raised his chest and raised his head, and saluted.
"Sir, we want to go too." Amei, Xiaopang and others who had already been prepared came out of the office, wearing suits and documents, queuing up in front of Yan Guoliang.
Fire Qilin is a bastard, but he is still good to his subordinates.
Especially in the past few months since I joined the ICAC, I have taught these new recruits a lot of things. Everyone was indignant about the sacrifice of Huo Qilin and wanted to avenge him.
"Going together is also an affirmation of Lao Deng's work during this period." Yan Guoliang nodded and agreed.
Soon, Yan Guoliang brought a group of subordinates to the Tsim Sha Tsui police station to pick up the car. He saw Huo Qilin's body in the morgue.
"salute!"
Yan Guoliang stood in front, Amei, Han Zhibang, Xiaopang and others slapped in several rows behind, and gave a solemn salute to the corpse covered with white cloth.
This is also an affirmation of the work of Huo Qilin at least during this period of his life.
No matter how bad Huo Qilin was before, or how bad it was, what was the purpose of joining the ICAC, as the first staff member to sacrifice his life, after that, his ashes will be sent to the ICAC's memory hall for the memory of the ICAC to be commemorated by the younger generations.
--------
A few days later, Yan Guoliang met his superiors with a plan and asked to report directly to the Governor of Hong Kong.
The superiors dare not neglect Yan Guoliang's statement, because the situation described in it is likely to become a reality. The unstable factor of more than 30,000 police officers must not explode, otherwise many people will die.
So the two went to the Governor's Office and met the Governor.
"Sir MacLeho." When he came to the Governor, Yan Guoliang bowed and said hello.
"Commissioner Yan."
MacLeho raised his head behind the wide desk, put down the pen in his hand, and looked at Yan Guoliang, "The secretary said, you have something urgent to report to me."
"Yes!"
Yan Guoliang nodded, stepped forward and put down the prepared plan, and said.
"This is my plan to organize. Regarding the reform of the police force, the police force is now very unstable, and the relationship with the ICAC is becoming increasingly tense, and it is likely that there will be a serious conflict between the police and the ICAC."
"Is the police-in-law conflict so serious?" MacLeho said with a standard British gentleman smile on his face, "Is it because of the death of an ICAC investigator that made you panic?
I regret the death of the Commissioner of the ICAC. This should be just an accident. The court did not have concluded but committed suicide.”
"Just." Yan Guoliang frowned and said in a solemn voice, "The fundamental reason for the police-in-law conflict has nothing to do with Chief Deng's death. It is entirely because the police force structure is unreasonable, which has a huge conflict with the ICAC.
To resolve this contradiction, we must improve the equipment, treatment and the promotion problem."
As he spoke, MacLeho opened the plan and frowned just on the first page.
"Jazz." Yan Guoliang explained when he saw MacLeho frowning.
"The reason why the police force is corrupt is that there are reasons for the detectives, but the low salary, poor equipment, and blocked promotion channels cannot be ignored. If these cannot be solved, even if those detectives are eliminated, it will be a symptom but not the root cause.
There is an old saying among Chinese people: If you want a horse to run, you must let the horse eat grass. From the Western viewpoint, it is to raise the good salary."
MacLeho has the ability to sit in the position of governor. Just thinking about it will make you know that Yan Guoliang said correctly. If you don’t solve these problems, the police force will never be able to live in peace.
But all these require money, and the British Empire needs to take money out of their pockets.
"You're right. Solving these three problems will allow the police force to do it once and for all,
However, I can't solve the problem of low salary and poor equipment by myself. I need to report to the ancestors. As for the promotion issue, I can make the decision.
After notification, relax the level restrictions on Chinese police inspections, and upgrade some capable detectives, and the sheriff will serve as inspectors or interns inspectors.
As for what you mentioned, the local amnesty order.
In principle, I agree that although there are many corruption in the police force, the situation of the police at the bottom is not very serious, and many of the money collected is forced by the general environment, so it is a last resort.
But this also requires the approval of the Zu family. I need time. You will need to bear more responsibility during this period. You must not only solve the problem of corruption in the police force, but also not let it get out of control. There are many people staring at Xiangjiang now, and I don’t want chaos.”
"I understand, I will do my best." Yan Guoliang responded.
He knew that the matter was guessed by Lei Weidong again. With the arrogance of the British, things would not change until the situation was infuriated. It seems that conflicts between police and integrity are inevitable. I just hope that no human life will occur at that time, otherwise I will have to be a scapegoat.
Thinking about his passion, he could give up his life for this city that grew up, and Yan Guoliang didn't care about the threats from Lei Luo and others, because he knew that evil could not defeat righteousness and he would definitely win.
However, after Lei Weidong's explanation, MacLeho's attitude made him understand that Xiangjiang is a colony of ghosts, and the ghosts will let anyone who wants to go to power.
In the past, Lei Luo was asked to go to power because he could bring benefits to the ghost guys.
Now Lei Luo's tail is too big, and the changes of the times have made the ghost man give up Lei Luo, and he just cuts Lei Luo's knife at Lei Luo, which is a tool. What's even more annoying is that his tool can only drive Lei Luo away, but cannot catch him.
Because the ghost guy cares about his own interests and does not care about the lives of the people at the bottom. It is time to let the ghost guy wake up and see the roars of millions of Xiangjiang people.
