After sending Ji Bu and Yang Koko back to the Repulse Bay Villa, he rushed to the next place without stopping, the place where Youyi and the paparazzi hang out.
The disguised Andy, carrying a bag, wavy hair, and a large camera hanging around his neck, successfully sneaked in and began to exchange information with them.
soon.
A piece of news was passed on about Superintendent Abt's corruption within the police force and his running away. There were also rumors that the death of Senior Superintendent Mabili was also committed by Abt and he ran away because the matter was exposed.
In the paparazzi circle.
What everyone cares more about is entertainment news that is obviously popular right now, such as Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung, and Michelle Reis.
Some people just listened to it, and some Ma Zai, who had a strong ability to capture information, immediately disappeared from the scene.
Paparazzi can be regarded as half-hidden reporters. After all, they are fellow journalists. We are all in the same circle, and there is still resource sharing.
“Don’t worry, it’s absolutely true!”
The paparazzi took the banknotes handed to him by the reporter, and counted them skillfully with his fingers wet with saliva. He also did not forget to give the reporter a guarantee:
"This was said by a police superintendent who drank too much at night. Your report can be assured, it is absolutely true, and it will definitely become the focus of tomorrow's news!"
Hong Kong Island is a place of freedom of press.
last night.
Inspector Gui Lao's remarks about "scooping ashes from the sewers" brought a lot of ratings, but because these remarks later involved Gui Lao's senior officials, the news was immediately suppressed.
This group of reporters were still extremely upset when they cursed "Xian Jia Tu" and "lost a lot of ratings" and other remarks.
I didn't expect such exciting information to come again.
Some big reporters were afraid to report it, while some reporters who had been unknown because they couldn't find breaking news realized that this was an opportunity.
Ever since.
Several TV stations began to work overtime.
The newspaper also temporarily stopped printing the newspaper and posted the breaking news on the front cover of the newspaper.
It doesn't matter if you don't have photos.
Just put the big title and make the font bold and large, which is very eye-catching.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The person in charge of the newspaper office picked up a printed newspaper and looked at the cover with great satisfaction:
"I have a hunch that this morning's newspaper will definitely sell well!"
At the same time.
Abt Villa.
Aji was walking in the villa area with his hands in his pockets, carrying a large cross-body bag.
The slanted bag was bulging, filled with long strips of things, and the street lights stretched his figure.
soon.
He stopped outside a dark villa, glanced at the house number, and then looked left and right at the empty road.
His eyes fell on the small shade tree growing next to the wall of the villa, he raised his feet and took a running step, speeding up and rushing past.
The trunks of the shade trees trembled under the tread of Aji's feet, and the leaves swished, causing the leaves to fall.
"Da da..."
His left and right feet overlapped and stepped on the tree trunk, driving his body upward. His right hand then reached out to grab the railing of the wall and climbed over easily, landing smoothly.
"Um"
Ah Ji let out a breath, reached into his pocket and took out the shoe covers to put on himself, then took out the rubber gloves and put them on, walked towards the hall, muttering to himself:
"It's getting harder and harder to get along. I'm a thug with incredible strength, and now I'm starting to be forced to transform."
During the conversation.
He looked up at the half-open door of the balcony on the second floor, and successfully climbed over the wall using his same running technique.
After entering the room, I went downstairs and came to the living room. I looked around quickly.
His eyes finally fell on the decorative cabinet used as a partition in the middle of the hall and restaurant.
Um.
Just here.
The location is very good and conspicuous enough.
He reached out and took out the cigars from the box inside, opened the huge crossbody bag on his waist, took out the strips of giant panda cigarettes and placed them on the table.
"Well, it should be almost done, right?"
Ah Ji clapped his hands, looked at the six giant panda cigarettes in the cabinet, expressed satisfaction with his masterpiece, and turned around to leave.
"wrong."
He suddenly remembered that when Ji Bu ordered him, he reminded him to remember to find some clues and not to give any hints at all.
Follow.
Ah Ji turned around and came to the coffee table, looked at the empty ashtray, reached out and took out the cigar from the compartment under the coffee table, lit one and quickly shook it in the air to aid combustion.
I burned most of the cigar, accumulated the ashes in the ashtray, then put the cigar on the ashtray, and opened the window half way for ventilation.
A few minutes later.
"call"
Ah Chi chewed a cigarette and walked on the street outside, holding a mobile phone and calling Andy:
"Okay, it's all done. Don't worry, who am I? I've done everything the boss said and there won't be any problems."
·······
Tonight.
It was destined to be a long and busy night for the police force.
It was originally thought that the death of Ghost Man Mabili was an attack from the outside world, a provocation to the Royal Hong Kong Police, and was extremely bad in nature.
but.
With the transmission of information from ICAC, this nature suddenly changed.
A police superintendent and a senior superintendent are both members of the Empire on which the sun never sets, pure blood of the Empire on which the sun never sets, and authoritative representatives certified by the Queen.
If two people like this are suspected of corruption and bribery, and then kill each other because of uneven distribution of internal interests, then
The nature suddenly changed again.
"Shameful, so shameful!"
Senior Superintendent Leigh William, as the person in charge of the investigation of this case, felt the pressure instantly:
"Find Superintendent Abt for me with all your strength!"
He felt ashamed, not because these two people were corrupt.
On Hong Kong Island.
Corruption among ghosts in the police force is not uncommon. There are not many ghosts who use their power to make money for themselves.
What he feels is embarrassing is that a police superintendent, a senior superintendent, has a noble status as an empire on which the sun never sets to help them cover up, and corruption is not good.
They also started fighting among themselves and wanted to kill each other and run away. This is too shameful.
Superintendent Abbot, disappeared, ran away
This made Leigh William suspect that ICAC's intelligence was wrong.
Since the two high-level officials involved in the incident are both ghosts, they are our own people, and we cannot lose face. This matter cannot be spread outside, and must be covered up.
so.
Under the pressure of Leigh William, ICAC could only suspend the investigation and let the police team investigate and deal with it on their own.
A typical double standard.
Double standards are very common in the police force.
If it was a Chinese superintendent who was embezzling, people from ICACA would come to arrest him right away, but Gui Lao is different.
Over the course of one night, they did not find Aibt, and they could not contact him at all. After checking their driving tracks, they found a few clues in the rare closed-circuit television footage:
After Abbot, "Captain Wu Zhihui" and others left the police station, they deliberately avoided roads with CCTV.
It seems like the person really ran away.
"call"
Leigh William sat on the sofa and let out a heavy breath. He looked at the sun gradually creeping out of the horizon in the distance. He took out a cigarette and lit it. He gritted his teeth and cursed:
"What two stupid guys! How could they get into a fight with such easy money?!"
He pinched his eyebrows with a headache and took a long puff of smoke.
As I get older, I can no longer stay up late.
I spent the whole night dealing with the affairs of the two ghost guys. After staying up all night, I felt listless and my eyes were red and tired.
The scene of Mabili's death in a car accident was completely burned by a fire. There are no clues to search for. If you want to know the truth, you can only find Abt.
only.
Over the course of one night, the police mobilized on a large scale and found no trace of Abot at the docks, airports, and major transportation thoroughfares.
Office door.
The assistant opened the door and walked in.
"Good morning Sir."
The assistant placed the tray in front of the desk: "Breakfast is ready."
"Um"
Senior Superintendent Leigh William stretched out his hand to open his tie, loosened a shirt button along the way, stood up and came over:
"How is the search for Superintendent Abbot going?"
"No whereabouts."
The assistant shook his head when he heard this, glanced at Li William who looked unhappy, and then said: "Additional manpower has been sent out to look for it."
"Um"
Li William frowned and responded, pulling out a stool and sitting down at his desk: "Call the corruption prevention director of ICAC.
Just say that Superintendent Abt has been found and is conducting internal inquiries, so they should not be anxious."
In fact, by now, Leigh William already knew what had happened.
It's almost impossible to find Aibt and have run away.
But as a politician, he knows very well that if the Abbott incident is exposed, the Chinese faction will definitely take advantage of it.
so.
His way of dealing with it is to deal with it coldly, delaying it for a while and then jumping over naturally.
When the time comes, just announce internally that Abut has been transferred back to the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. Gui Lao cannot lose his face.
"ah"
The assistant was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll call them and let them know."
Said.
He turned and walked outside.
"Wait a moment."
Leigh William stopped the assistant who was turning to leave and looked at him with a frown: "Where is the newspaper? Why didn't you give me today's newspaper?"
During the conversation.
He raised his hand and tapped on the tray, feeling very dissatisfied.
Leigh William has the habit of reading the newspaper every morning while eating breakfast.
Have breakfast, read in the newspaper about the peaceful Hong Kong Island under the governance of their ghost guys, and start a pleasant and beautiful day.
This has become a life habit that he has fully developed.
He was very dissatisfied that his assistant had been following him for a day, two days, a year or two, and yet he made mistakes in such daily routine business.
"this"
The assistant's face froze, and hearing the dissatisfaction in Li William's tone, he quickly turned around:
"Sorry Sir, today's newspaper"
"oh?!"
Leigh William raised his eyebrows and glanced at his assistant: "There are also newspapers that I can't read?! Bring them here!"
"hurry up!"
Following his scolding, the office instantly became quiet.
"..."
The assistant was silent at first, then nodded after a brief hesitation: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go get it now."
"call"
Leigh William let out a breath, glanced sideways at the assistant's back, picked up the sandwich on the plate and took a bite.
A few minutes later.
The assistant came back in with twinkling eyes, a strange expression, and gently placed the newspaper next to Leigh William.
William Li first raised his eyebrows and glanced at the assistant, took a drink of milk, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, picked up the newspaper folded into small pieces in front of him, and opened the folded pages one by one.
The crumpled newspaper was spread out in front of William Levi.
The entry is the big cover of the newspaper.
On the cover.
The two lines of traditional Chinese characters that are enlarged and bolded are printed into the eyes:
shock!
The police superintendent is suspected of corruption and murder. Superintendent Abut of the North District Police Department is suspected of being exposed and his whereabouts are still unknown.
The word "shocked" has been decorated with patterns and magnified again, making it full of impact to the naked eye.
The assistant stood at the edge tremblingly, not daring to speak. After seeing the newspaper in the morning, he felt a thump in his heart. He was afraid that William would be angry when he saw it, so he didn't bring it to him.
"What?!"
After seeing this title, William Levi subconsciously blurted out: "Who did this?! Who did this?!"
The assistant dared not answer the call.
William Levi had a gloomy face and quickly scanned the specific contents below, which were roughly speculations on these things.
at the same time.
At the end, he also included his own accusation:
Why haven’t we heard of any investigation within the police force regarding such a big matter?!
What on earth are the police officers responsible for investigating this case doing?!
Although William Li's name was not written directly, he was questioning William himself, so all he had to do was write down his ID number.
"call"
William Li's hand trembling slightly as he grabbed the newspaper, then he grabbed the newspaper with force and quickly tore it into pieces and then crumpled it into a ball. He smashed it into the trash can and kicked the trash can out.
"Sorry Sir!"
The assistant was very discerning and spoke quickly before William Li could speak:
"I have already sent orders to arrange for people to seal down this newspaper. At the same time, I ordered them to take back today's newspaper immediately!"
William Li sat in his seat and did not reply.
He took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked. Soon the cigarette was bottomed out, and then he raised his head and looked at the assistant:
"Call the people back and don't worry about it."
"ah?"
The assistant was stunned for a moment, his face full of questions.
"Ah what?!"
William Li slapped the table and pointed at the newspaper that rolled out of the trash can:
"Didn't you read what's below?!"
"An ordinary newspaper company knows so many detailed contents? It must be the damn Chinese faction who leaked the news. This is purely to embarrass us!"
"So many copies of the newspaper have been sold, and you want the newspaper company to withdraw it? How to withdraw it?"
"When you shut down the newspaper, didn't you just give them another clue? Where's your brain? Call them back quickly!"
There was a pause.
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Next time something like this happens again, don't act like you're smart, do you understand?!"
"About and the others' affairs have nothing to do with us. If we can't protect them, we won't protect them. Don't drag yourself down, you stupid guy!"
"Yes!"
The assistant was sweating on his forehead and ran out quickly.
"Damn Chinese!"
William Levi gritted his teeth and cursed with a gloomy face, his brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan", and he stared at the ball of newspapers that had fallen to the ground.
He didn't expect that these Chinese people would move so fast.
William Levi can imagine what will happen next. After this newspaper enters the market, it will cause dissatisfaction among many Hong Kong Island citizens.
There will be countless media following up.
These TV stations only care about ratings and will definitely conduct in-depth inquiries into this matter.
They don't do this because they want to know the truth, they care about how much revenue this matter can bring to the TV station.
I originally wanted to avoid the political impact this incident would have on the police force, but now it seems that it is impossible.
In this case, you can only avoid the impact of this incident on yourself. After all, you are responsible for investigating this case.
"Hello!"
William Li picked up the phone and took the initiative to call the ICAC person: "That's it, Superintendent Abt has disappeared again."
"We suspect that Superintendent Abut has a big problem. Please help ICAC to investigate Superintendent Abut."
After communicating with ICAC, he hung up the phone with a headache and pinched his brows, hating that iron could never become steel:
"Damn Mabili, Abt, stupid!"
actually.
When William Li made this call, the ICAC people had already taken action.
ICAC Investigation Director Yao Weiqiang noticed something was wrong with Abbott last night, but was asked to suspend it.
He was very dissatisfied with the delayed investigation requested by William Levy, but William Levy was the senior superintendent, and the Corruption Prevention Officer reminded him again that he should still be given the face he deserved.
Forced by helplessness, Yao Weiqiang could only suspend the investigation.
Morning.
Yao Weiqiang was eating breakfast in a breakfast shop when he accidentally saw this newspaper with a prominent cover.
Now.
He didn't eat anymore. He rolled up the newspaper and put it under his arm. He grabbed the pineapple bun on the table and stood up. He stood up and walked outside, calling someone:
"Where are they all? There's no need to go to the ICAC building. Let me gather them all at Abt's residence!"
"what?"
The subordinate's confused voice came back from the phone: "Didn't you say we won't investigate for the time being? We still don't want to"
"Fight on the street!"
Yao Weiqiang bit into the delicious pineapple bun and rolled his eyes angrily: "Don't you guys read newspapers?!"
"If you don't investigate, you will be blamed!"
Once this kind of newspaper comes out, it will definitely have to face overwhelming pressure from public opinion later on.
If they don't set out to investigate at this time, when external pressure comes, according to Gui Lao's urinary behavior, the name of inaction will immediately fall on them.
About half an hour later.
A group of them arrived at Abt's villa.
Abbot's wife and children were not on Hong Kong Island. The accompanying professional locksmiths unlocked the door and started to search the villa. What they wanted to do was to find something in Abbot's home.
only.
Things were not going well.
They found nothing from Abbot's home.
"Check Abbot's account for me."
Yao Weiqiang looked at the many white shirts and found nothing, turned around and walked outside. The Abut man had already run away, and the charges had been confirmed. There was no pressure at all during the investigation, so there was no need to worry.
Just as Yao Weiqiang was walking out, he accidentally glanced at the cigarettes placed in the cabinet.
Giant panda cigarettes.
Put them one by one, there must be five or six.
This kind of cigarette is rare.
The flue-cured tobacco flavor is something you can't buy on Hong Kong Island and is only available on the mainland.
"oh?"
Yao Weiqiang squinted his eyes, and then looked at the ashtray placed on the coffee table. In the ashtray, there were unfinished cigar butts placed on it.
"hehe!"
He chuckled lightly, blew a breath, walked to the side of the cabinet, opened the glass door, took out the giant panda cigarettes inside, and weighed them in his hands:
"Oh, it's quite heavy!"
Then he reached out and opened the whole cigarette without the plastic sealing film, and the seal covered with double-sided tape was easily torn off.
"Tsk"
Yao Weiqiang glanced inside, then shook the seal downwards, and rolls of banknotes tied with rubber bands rolled down from the entire cigarette package as his arm shook.
"..."
Seeing this scene, many people in white shirts fell silent.
There are so many cigarettes in one carton, at least several hundred thousand. There are six cartons of cigarettes here, how much do they cost? This ghost guy Abt is really arrogant. The embezzled money is placed in the living room.
But then again.
If Yao Weiqiang hadn't accidentally discovered the clue, they really wouldn't have been able to figure out that there was such a big mystery hidden in the few cartons of cigarettes that were so plainly placed in front of everyone.
Immediately.
Someone immediately stepped forward, picked up a camera, and began to take photos of the banknotes that had fallen on the floor to collect evidence, shooting from multiple angles.
There is an asymmetry between income and official position. This investigation crime can be applied to Abt, and the investigation can be more unfettered.
Now that the fact of bribery has been found, the next step is to bribe people. Yao Weiqiang also has his own investigation goals.
That was Lin Kun who was imprisoned.
previously.
This was mentioned in detail in the report letter sent to ICAC.
Mabili Abt accepted bribes from Lin Kun to pave the way for his drug cartel.
"Search this place carefully for me!"
Yao Weiqiang simply arranged the on-site task: "Send extra people over and look through the villa to see if there are any other places where money is hidden!"
Leave someone behind to continue the search.
He himself led people to find Lin Kun and question him.
"Abut? Mabili?!"
When Lin Kun faced Yao Weiqiang's inquiry, he simply thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, very cooperatively:
"Yes, I gave them money. If I don't give them money to help me open the way, how can I do business?!"
After Lin Kun heard the names of Mabili and Abt, he immediately thought of Ji Bu.
"Yeah?"
Yao Weiqiang stared at Lin Kun, who looked calm in front of him: "How much did you give away?!"
"A few million, more than that."
Lin Kun answered quickly: "I forgot the specific number."
"Forgot?!"
Yao Weiqiang snorted softly: "Did you forget or are you just talking nonsense?! You don't even remember how much money I gave away?!"
"Well, I just forgot."
Lin Kun sniffed, looked up at Yao Weiqiang in front of him, and showed a contemptuous expression:
"The ghosts are all cunning and greedy, don't you know?"
"You give him ten thousand, and he will immediately ask you for one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, one million, or even more!!"
He looked at Yao Weiqiang in front of him, paused, and added: "But, these ghosts must not be peaceful inside."
"I'm sure these two people are still fighting among themselves."
"..."
Yao Weiqiang fell silent upon hearing this.
Lin Kun's words are not rough, and this is indeed the truth. Especially Lin Kun's last sentence, to a certain extent, supports the possibility that Mabili may have been killed by Abt's design.
"Are you so honest? So cooperative?!"
Yao Weiqiang thought for a while, but still felt that Lin Kun was too cooperative and unwilling to give up: "You know, bribing the police."
"How many years do you think my sentence can be?"
Lin Kun interrupted him directly and asked very directly: "Twenty years? Thirty years? Is there a big difference between adding one or two more years and adding ten more years?!"
"..."
Yao Weiqiang was silent again.
soon.
The team that searched Aibte’s villa once again received news:
A safe was found behind the wine cellar in the basement of Abbot's home. After cutting it open, a large amount of Hong Kong dollars and US dollars were found inside.
Once the case investigation reaches this point, it is basically a closed loop, and the ICAC phase is over.
ICAC building.
"director."
Yao Weiqiang looked at the complete set of survey results in front of him: "I don't know why, I always feel weird."
"You see, first someone reported it anonymously, and then our investigation went very smoothly. All the evidence was found very easily, and it didn't take any effort at all."
"I always feel as if someone is secretly pushing us and delivering everything we need in front of us."
"I'm convinced."
The anti-corruption director rolled his eyes at Yao Weiqiang angrily: "Do you know what this is called? This is called high efficiency!"
"This case is very serious. Let's end this part of our case quickly, lest the ghost guy blames us."
He raised his hand to pick up the information compiled on the table, reached out and patted Yao Weiqiang on the shoulder:
"Old Yao, you did a good job on this matter. I will reflect it in the report. Thank you for your hard work."
"Thanks also for your full support and assistance."
Yao Wei pretended to be polite and polite to the director of corruption prevention: "Our investigation went so smoothly because of your leadership."
"Ha ha."
The anti-corruption director laughed and left with satisfaction.
Yao Weiqiang watched him leave with twinkling eyes.
Although he felt that this matter was a bit fishy, that was all he could do.
after all.
All the facts are before you.
The morning newspapers provided enough public pressure, and the police also showed an unprecedented speed in solving the case.
In conjunction with ICAC, the police force soon made the latest report on the incident and announced the closure of the case:
The death of Senior Superintendent Mabili has been confirmed and the aftermath has been dealt with. Thanks to the outside world for their attention, the fact of Abut's corruption exists and he is currently being arrested.
Thank you for your attention. Please believe that the Royal Police will continue to protect the safety of Hong Kong Island as always. Thank you.
So far.
Ji Bu, who did not show up or participate in the whole process, stood behind the scenes and silently promoted the direction of the entire case, becoming the biggest winner.
