Two guys in black suits stood by the rooftop with their hands behind their backs, looking calmly at the busy traffic downstairs.
"Brother La, let's stop pretending, okay? It's so hard! The sun is hot and scorching." Zhang Jicong took off his black sunglasses and said with a bitter smile.
"No meaning!"
Chen Bailu glanced at Zhang Jicong with contempt: "You are my informant now, you must have some temperament."
"Brother La, I am a young and Dangerous boy. If I have temperament, it must be that of a gangster, otherwise I will be easily hacked to death." Zhang Jicong regretted being an informant for Chen Bailu.
Chen Bailu held his head high in a pretentious manner, looking like a master of pranks.
"It's really sunny, and I didn't bring an umbrella. Let's go for a walk. Who said that going to the rooftop can improve your personal style?"
Chen Bailu pretended to be cool for less than a minute before he couldn't help but run away.
Zhang Jicong hurriedly followed.
"Any news on where that bastard Chen Xin is hiding?"
"Of course!" Zhang Jicong handed a note to Chen Bailu.
Two guys were squatting in the stairwell, each with a cigarette in his mouth, talking furtively.
This is the correct way to exchange information!
"Why are there three addresses?" Chen Bailu read the contents on the note and looked at Zhang Jicong with a frown.
"Boss, I'm just a young and Dangerous guy, I'm not the CIA."
Zhang Jicong spread his hands.
"These three addresses may be Chen Xin's hiding place, but which one it is depends on you."
Chen Bailu nodded with satisfaction.
Then he asked: "Did Chen Hui really be hacked to death by someone sent by Chen Xin?"
"I don't know this, but that's what people on the street say. I heard that Boss Chen is going to spend one million to reward the killer for revenge for Chen Hui." Zhang Jicong shook his head and said.
Chen Bailu: "Okay! If there is any news on the road, report it to me immediately."
"There is no problem with the report!" Zhang Jicong immediately grimaced after hearing Chen Bailu's words: "Can we please stop going to the rooftop in the future? I have a hunch that if we go to the rooftop frequently, sooner or later someone will throw us off from above."
"Okay——! Then we will meet at another place later." Chen Bailu nodded.
Zhang Jicong continued to shake his head: "If possible, try not to meet each other! Isn't it a good idea to make a phone call? I'll pay for my phone bill myself, right?"
"But if I don't look at you, I'm worried that you will betray me." Chen Bailu said matter-of-factly.
"Boss, I beg you, I'm just an informant, I'm not an undercover agent, how can I betray you?"
Zhang Jicong analyzed Chen Bailu very carefully.
"Think about it, I'm a bad little bastard. I don't dare to commit murder or arson. I don't have that ability in drug trafficking and smuggling. I can be selected as an informant and have the police as my backer. I wake up laughing even when I fall asleep. You don't even chase me away.
Let’s go!”
Chen Bailu thought seriously for a while, and realized that this was really the case.
"Okay, if Chen Xin can be caught in the three locations you provided, the informant fee will be paid to you."
Inside an apartment building.
"Boss, the police asked me to be an informant, and I also charge informant fees."
As soon as Zhang Jicong saw Matilda, he immediately betrayed Chen Bailu, even more than Chen Bailu.
"Oh——! So you want to be a mole!"
Matilda casually picked up a fruit knife on the coffee table and plunged it into the carpet at Zhang Jicong's feet with a 'shuttle-!'
"Boss, how dare I!" Zhang Jicong was so frightened that he quickly knelt down.
"If I want to be a mole, I'm also helping you, the boss, to be a mole so that we can gather information about the police force."
Zhang Jicong has naturally seen Matilda's skills, otherwise he wouldn't be so afraid of Matilda.
"Which police station asked you to be an informant? Or the police headquarters?" Matilda raised her finger and asked Zhang Jicong to take back the fruit knife.
"It's Chan Pak-luk from the Anti-Gangster Unit of Tsuen Wan Police Station. He is a very high-ranking senior inspector."
Zhang Jicong quickly pulled out the fruit knife and handed it back to Matilda with both hands.
Matilda was speechless.
I want to inquire about information about Tsuen Wan Police Station. Wouldn't I ask my master directly?
But considering how lazy his master is, he really doesn't necessarily know what his subordinates in the police station are doing, so there's nothing wrong with having an extra line.
"What's that in your hand?" Matilda saw a brown paper bag in Zhang Jicong's hand.
"The employment contract! I didn't expect them to be very professional!"
Zhang Jicong quickly opened the brown paper bag and handed the documents inside to Matilda.
"It contains some information about what I can do, what I cannot do, and what I have to report to them in a timely manner." Zhang Jicong grinned.
Matilda took a look at Zhang Jicong's informant employment contract.
Hey——! It’s really an eye-opener.
This "Informant Contract to Assist the Police in Case Investigations" is marked on it and provides the actual facts.
How much does it cost to catch a drug dealer?
How much does it cost to catch a gambler?
How much does it cost to catch a prostitute?
All of them have clearly marked prices, and there is even an informant whose base salary is HK$1,100.
"You can be considered as eating public food!" Matilda laughed.
"I am doing this to better help you, boss!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't even bother to pick up these hundreds of dollars if they were thrown on the ground."
Zhang Jicong said righteously.
Matilda looked at Zhang Jicong with a sneer: "I'm afraid you don't want to be a double agent, bet on both sides, and get money from both sides!"
Zhang Jicong just stood up and immediately knelt down again. He had some thoughts in this regard, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Matilda.
"Boss, how dare I? I really want to help the boss get information, otherwise I will turn down the matter of being a police informant right now."
"That's not necessary, but if you dare to lie to me if I find out, you will die miserably." Matilda hit Zhang Jicong.
"No, no, I won't dare to lie to you, boss." Zhang Jicong shook his head desperately.
Tsuen Wan Police Station.
Office of the Director.
"Secretary Long, this is the newly signed informant book. Please approve it." Chen Bailu handed Long Jiu a brown paper bag of the same style as Zhang Jicong's.
It was Long Jiu's idea to formalize the work of informants providing information.
Li Er wouldn't let her get involved in the intelligence department's affairs, so she naturally had to find another way to find her own source of intelligence.
"Zhang Jicong, a casual delivery worker at a hardware store. Since you have already inspected it, go ahead and pass it! This guy can do it. From now on, you will fully follow up on this informant."
After Long Jiu signed the reply, he let Chen Bailu leave.
In fact, Long Jiu not only has an informant operation, she is also recently looking for police officers suitable to be undercover, and wants to develop another undercover operation.
In this way, every move of the entire underworld cannot escape her eyes.
"Brother La, what are you doing? It's so mysterious."
As soon as Chen Bailu returned to the anti-gang group, he was patted on the shoulder by Zhu Huabiao from behind.
"I have something to do!" Chen Bailu handed the note to Zhu Huabiao.
"According to the information given above, Chen Xin may be hiding in one of these three addresses and informing the brothers to work."
"Hey, thanks to the help of the higher-ups, I stayed up all night and couldn't find any useful information." Zhu Huabiao praised.
Chen Bailu smiled mysteriously: "That's because the method you used is wrong."
"Look at how our old boss Ying from Tsim Sha Tsui investigated the case."
Zhu Huabiao said angrily: "How can it be the same? Mr. Ying has a wide range of people, and all gangsters, big and small, are willing to help Mr. Ying."
Li Xianying's method of handling cases cannot be learned by others. (End of chapter)
