The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 313 Lawyer Hong, who values ​​money over life
Li Yan looked at Lawyer Hong with contempt. Damn it, you came here today just to talk nonsense to me and leave yourself a way out?

"Lawyer Hong, as a lawyer, you did the accounting for Han Chen, so you must have participated in his criminal behavior to some extent. No matter what Han Chen did privately, the accounting transactions cannot deceive people. I guessed correctly that you must know a lot of Han Chen's illegal accounting transactions."

Li Yan showed the wisdom and intelligence of a serious crime team leader at this time, and said decisively: "Han Chen is a cunning and treacherous character. He must have a reason to trust you so much."

"I speculate that you may have been involved in this, and even did some illegal things yourself, and Han Chen caught you with evidence. That's why he trusts you so much and gives you more things to handle."

"You know too much and are stuck in a quagmire. So you're afraid that one day, the law will catch up with you and Han Chen will be punished by the law, and you will also be implicated. That's why you asked me out to do something like semi-surrendering, right?"

As Li Yan finished speaking, his voice became louder, more powerful, and more passionate, like a messenger of justice who was judging evil, full of glory and justice.

Lawyer Hong was frightened by Li Yan's aggressiveness and was a little panicked. He staggered twice and took two steps back unconsciously.

His heart was in a mess and he seemed guilty and cowardly facing the righteous Li Yan.

Lawyer Hong was silent.
Seeing that this sly guy had been subdued, Li Yan smiled slightly, knowing that the beating with the big stick was over and it was time to lick his head.

So he began to question and persuade, and he affirmed the positive significance of Lawyer Hong's visit as soon as he opened his mouth: "However, the fact that you can come to me, the head of the serious crime team, to surrender yourself shows that you still have a conscience. It's not too late to turn back after straying."

"Now in front of me, even in front of the Hong Kong police and millions of citizens, you can say whatever you want. As long as you are wronged, we can help you."

"You must be brave enough to take responsibility for what you are responsible for."

"Moreover, you were able to report other people's criminal clues, which is also a meritorious service. I believe that when you go to court one day, the judge and jury will also consider your performance today and be lenient with you."

Lawyer Hong looked depressed at this time, his expression was full of guilt and self-blame, and he said in a painful tone: "Sir Li, you are right, I am guilty, I shouldn't have coveted the high remuneration that Han Chen gave me and done the accounts for him."

"I don't want to commit a crime. I'm a lawyer and my income is not low, enough for me to live a decent life. I know the law is sacred and cannot be violated. My words and deeds are legal and compliant. How could I break the law knowingly?"

Li Yan saw the tragic look on Lawyer Hong's face and curled his lips in disdain. This kid also started to act.

He roared for a long time, his eyelids were dry, and he didn't show any intention of crying.

"When Han Chen showed me the work of laundering Hong Kong dollars, he pointed a gun at me and threatened me with a ferocious look, saying that I was already in his team and if I didn't do what he said, I would not see the sun tomorrow."

"Mr. Li, I'm just an ordinary lawyer. I feel guilty if I step on a cockroach. I'm scared and terrified when I see the fighting and killing. What can I do when Han Chen and his men threaten me with knives and guns? I have to give in."

"Humph"

Li Yan snorted coldly, not sure whether he was dissatisfied with Lawyer Hong who was stealing the show from him, or he couldn't stand Han Chen's brutality.

He said flatly: "Then why didn't you come to the police station to report the case as soon as you were free, but continued to work for him?"

"I want to, too! But Han Chen, that loser, threatened me that if I dared to report the case, he would kill my whole family. I have a wife and children, and my daughter is only seven years old. I am timid and afraid of danger, so."

"I'm afraid it's not just that. Han Chen also gave you several times more rewards than ordinary lawyers. You took these benefits, so you buried your conscience?" Li Yan exposed Lawyer Hong's words without hesitation.

Lawyer Hong fell silent again.

After a long while, Li Yan asked again: "Do you have any clues you want to report?"

"Han Chen's account transactions were always stable before, but in recent months, the flow of money has suddenly increased, ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. I suspect he is doing something illegal. But I have no evidence, so this is up to you police to investigate."

"anything else?"

"Han Chen made a donation of 20 million Hong Kong dollars to the top brass of the police force in exchange for a position as a consultant in the Police Complaints Department. I made the account. But the money was transferred to an overseas account, and I don't know who the other party is."

Li Yan's expression became nervous: "Anything else?"

"Also, Han Chen has been very eager to get a spot in the Hong Kong Government's Zhengzhi Business Association recently, and he has even spent a huge amount of money to bribe the top police officers. Han Chen threatened that he would spend 50 million or even 100 million Hong Kong dollars for this spot, and he would not hesitate to do anything."

"Do you know who the high-ranking official Han Chen bribed is and what position he holds?"

Lawyer Hong seemed to be infected by Li Yan's nervousness. He carefully looked around and felt that it was still a bit cold on the top of the mountain late at night, so he tightened his coat slightly.

Li Yan also looked around. In the movies, a killer would usually appear at this time and kill Lawyer Hong.

He was not allowed to reveal the name of the big boss, so Li Yan was a little suspicious.
But it was obvious that Li Yan had watched too many movies. It was quiet all around. Apart from the rustling of leaves in the wind, there was no one else around.

Lawyer Hong seemed very scared, and his voice was trembling as he said, "Based on what I have learned from Han Chen's few words, it seems..."

"It seems to be a director of the police department. Han Chen calls him Director Gao." "This morning, Han Chen was very happy and withdrew 100 million from his account and transferred it to an unknown overseas account. I guess it was this expense."

Li Yan's expression brightened, and he hesitated for a moment: "Lawyer Hong, what you said is very important."

"I have to remind you that you are in a very dangerous situation. As the head of the serious crime squad, I ask you to formally report to the police station and obtain police protection. I will be responsible for your life safety."

Lawyer Hong flatly refused: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry. I know you are doing this for my own good, but I can't do this right now. These are just my one-sided words and there is no evidence."

"And Han Chen has his own undercover agents in the police force. Once I show up in the police force, I will die faster. You don't have evidence and you can't bring Han Chen to justice and send him to prison."

Li Yan said urgently: "But."

Lawyer Hong said righteously, "Mr. Li, there is no but. Any rash action now will only alert the enemy. For such a big case, even your police will not conduct a high-profile investigation. You still have to carefully search for evidence."

"So, for the sake of the police, it's best to keep it like this until I have collected enough evidence. Only then can I catch Han Chen's criminal group in one fell swoop."

When Li Yan heard this, he glanced at Lawyer Hong with disdain. Lawyer Hong, who had just looked righteous, avoided his gaze and lowered his head in embarrassment: "Damn it, I think you care more about money than life."

'What's collecting evidence? What's avoiding alerting the suspect? What's for the good of our police force?'

"That sounds nice, but as far as I know, you're not that kind of person! To put it bluntly, you're playing the risky game, and you're just a little reluctant to give up the huge reward you got from doing the dirty work for Han Chen."

"In addition to the generous reward Han Chen gave you, you can also secretly hide some when you do the accounting and wash the Hong Kong dollars. Han Chen, who is always wielding knives and guns and can't read a few words, won't be able to find it."

'When the two are combined, the benefits you get are enough to risk the gallows.'

"But I'm afraid of being judged in the future, so I'm looking for a way out for myself now. What's the point of taking care of our old relationship? Damn, they're just trying to use me."

Li Yan secretly despised him. Everyone has their own destiny. Although no one rushed out of the darkness to kill and silence him when Lawyer Hong told the inside story, according to Li Yan's personal experience and the routines of countless movies he has watched, a minor character like Lawyer Hong, if he does something wrong and the director gives him too many shots, he will definitely not live long.

This person is greedy and his fate is predictable. Let him be.
Li Yan thought that the recorder was still working, and he still had to fulfill his duties as a policeman.

So he pretended to hesitate, thought about it, and finally said dejectedly: "Maybe what you said is right, but Lawyer Hong, you must pay attention to your own safety. Once you find a crisis, you must quickly leave and go to the police station to seek protection."

"I know. Thank you, Officer Li. I know I am guilty too. I just hope that if I do more, I can reduce my guilt in court."

Lawyer Hong smiled bitterly: "I have done this all myself, you don't have to sympathize with me"

After saying that, Lawyer Hong said goodbye to Li Yan, turned around and disappeared into the darkness on the top of the mountain!

Li Yan turned off the recorder and looked at the desolate back of Lawyer Hong as he walked away. He felt a sense of sadness as if the wind was blowing and the Yi River was cold, and the hero would never return.

There are some unknown unspoken rules in the movie, one of which is that a good guy must die if he turns bad, and a bad guy must also die if he turns good!
Why is this happening? Li Yan didn't think it through clearly for a moment. He thought he could think about it later when he had time!
I stood there quietly for a while, thinking about how to deal with Lawyer Hong's matter. This matter was a bit unexpected. Should I suppress it temporarily, or report some of it selectively?
What are the pros and cons?

After thinking for a long time, I just feel that the case of Lawyer Hong is a black swan event, and I can’t think of how to deal with it more appropriately for the time being.

I turned around and got in the car, driving towards home.
Before he got home, he received a call from Li Xin'er. Li Yan picked up the phone and smiled: "Are you still awake? I'll be home soon!"

"Oh no, husband, something happened to my cousin." Li Xiner's panicked voice came from the microphone.

Li Yan was stunned. Damn it, why are there so many variables recently? It feels like the situation is a little out of my control!
Feeling Li Xin'er's excitement and panic, Li Yan quickly comforted her: "Xin'er, don't worry, tell me slowly, which cousin of yours is wrong?"

Li Xiner talked intermittently for a long time before Li Yan understood the cause and effect of the matter.

That cousin was indeed Li Mengluo, whom I met at the cocktail party the night before. She has never returned home since the party ended.

At first, her family thought she had just returned to Hong Kong and must have some classmates and friends to get together. Maybe she drank too much and rested in the hotel. In addition, she was in her thirties and not a child, so they were not too anxious.

But until today, the old man of the Li family wanted to arrange a family gathering at noon tomorrow to welcome Li Mengluo and celebrate Li Yan's promotion to senior superintendent, making it lively and lively.

When trying to contact Li Mengluo, they made more than a dozen calls, but no one answered. They also asked some relatives, friends, and Li Mengluo's classmates and good friends, but they all said they had never seen her. Only then did her family become anxious and panicked.

He was about to call the police, but the old man was wise and scolded the family members who were in a mess. It turned out that there were policemen in his own family, and they were high-ranking ones, so why should he call the police?
Let’s ask Li Yan’s opinion first!
Li Xiner is now calling Li Yan from old man Li Cunwang's house in Mid-Levels. Li Yaoguang and his wife, Li Yaozong and his wife, and Li Yaozu's family of three are all waiting anxiously beside them.

Li Yaozong snatched the phone away before Li Xiner finished speaking: "Li Yan, I'm your second uncle. Something must have happened to Mengluo. I can't get through to her on the phone, and no one has seen her."

"You must help me. After all, she is your cousin."
