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

Chapter 340 Fine, fine me hard
Lin Guoping nodded, drew a few circles with his pen, and continued, "Last night at about one o'clock, a residential building in Yau Ma Tei caught fire. After the firefighting colleagues put out the fire, they found that the door of the residential building was chained and paint was splashed in the corridor."

"It is suspected that this is a debt collection operation by Colliers, so the case has now been transferred over and our serious crime team needs to intervene in the investigation."

Li Yan was impatient for a moment. These people were really lawless. He said decisively: "Send someone to raid the loan sharking company, arrest the people, confiscate the stolen money, and compensate the losses of the people who were burned in advance."

"Also, if someone comes to plead for mercy, we can fine him a large sum of money and then release him."

Lin Guoping asked doubtfully: "Mr. Li, you are not going to sue?"

"What's the point of suing? No one's dead, so it's not a big deal. Those who make money through illegal means all have some connections behind them. By the time they get to the point, there will be a lot of people begging for mercy."

"It's a waste of time and effort, and it also offends people. In the future, when you encounter this kind of thing, you should follow two principles. First, compensate ordinary people for their losses, so as not to affect their normal lives. Then, arrest the perpetrators and fine them severely. In short, fine them until they feel bad and dare not commit crimes again."

"What about the confiscated money?"

Li Yan rolled his eyes at Lin Guoping and said, "Is there any need to ask? Of course, it will be charged to our serious crime team, and the police officers in the team will be given priority to advance the expenses, and then it will be used as the team's case handling funds."

“Well, there are also benefits.”

"Is this okay?"

Lin Guoping looked embarrassed: "But, Li Sir, our police have to rely on evidence and procedures when handling cases. If we blindly favor ordinary people, they will complain."

Li Yan curled his lips in disdain: "Guoping, your mind is still too rigid! What are our duties as police officers? If you don't understand it, how can you be a good police officer?"

Li Yan's words were too heavy, and Lin Guoping felt that he could not bear it. Lin Guoping always felt that he had done a good job and had won the recognition of Li Yan. He had a bright future in the future, and it was only a matter of time.

But if in Li Yan's eyes, I don't even understand the duties of a policeman, it will inevitably affect my future promotion and reuse.

So he looked at Li Yan with a terrified look and asked modestly: "Then, Sir Li, in your mind, what is the duty of the police?"

Li Yan stood up from his seat, paced back and forth in the office, and said slowly and firmly: "Maintaining peace in the area is our only duty as a police officer."

"Whether it's fighting crime or enforcing the various rules and regulations within the police force, those are all means and methods. The core purpose is to allow the general public to live in peace."

"Don't stick to the rules and put the cart before the horse."

"Do we talk about rules, regulations and laws and regulations with criminals who hire lawyers and carefully dodge red lines in order to make us tie our own hands?"

“Does the law protect them?”

"Bullshit, the law is to protect law-abiding citizens. Those bastards who let lawyers haggle with me about words are trying to use us to protect their evil deeds. I will teach them a lesson in a minute."

Seeing Lin Guoping's thoughtful expression, Li Yan said seriously, "Take the loan shark arson case just now. The house was burned by the loan sharks, and they certainly won't take the blame. The family whose lives were burned have been saved, but they will face homelessness tonight. This is the fact."

"As for those who set the fire, we can prosecute them and send them to prison. As for the financial company and the association behind the loan shark, we have plenty of time to slowly fight with their lawyers and go through the legal procedures step by step."

"But have you ever thought about what will happen to the family's life?"

Lin Guoping said subconsciously: "They can apply for assistance from the relief agency."

"But the relief agency also has to follow procedures. It can't be done in a day or two. If they say that the matter is related to a case under investigation or that it doesn't comply with the regulations, and it gets stuck at any stage, then the aid application will not be approved!"

"After all, the whole family needs to find a place to eat and sleep tonight. If you delay for a few days, the elderly, the weak, the women and the children will not be able to bear it. If they get sick or something, the whole family will be doomed."

"Those scoundrels took advantage of this loophole and wanted to force this family to death to intimidate others. I dare say that they were the ones who set the fire and called the police. They carefully controlled the scope of the situation and wanted to commit a small crime to cause a big disaster in order to establish their authority in front of everyone."

Lin Guoping also frowned at this time, and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Li Yan shook his head and said confidently, "It's actually very easy to deal with. For those of us who hold power, those things that force ordinary people to death are just a piece of cake."

"As long as we use the power in our hands properly, we can easily solve this problem. For example, as I just said, if we raid the financial company, we will definitely get a lot of dirty money, and temporarily allocate some compensation to the family." "Let them spend money to clean up their home, or find another place to stay for a few days. With this money, they can get through this difficult time, and we don't have to worry about what happens next. They can just live the same way they lived before!"

Lin Guoping frowned and blurted out: "But this, isn't this an abuse of public power? Is this appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about this? The purpose of abusing public power is to prevent people from abusing their power for personal gain, using public power for personal gain, and oppressing the good. You are dedicated to the public and you are honest and upright. What do you have to be afraid of?"

Li Yan reminded again: "Of course, if you can't control yourself, then don't use my method. Just follow the rules and regulations honestly, otherwise you will hurt yourself sooner or later."

When Li Yan got to here, he was suddenly stunned, and thought of a saying of Living Buddha Jigong: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart; if people in the world learn from me, they will become demons instead of Buddhas!"

So this is what it meant. Li Yan suddenly realized
Seeing that Lin Guoping was a little confused, Li Yan said helplessly: "The lives of ordinary people are already difficult, and they have to face oppression from gangs from time to time. Any pressure may make them unable to survive, and they may either jump off the building or burn charcoal."

"So, what we police officers have to do is not to stick to the case handling procedures and regulations. Instead, we have to protect the weak and allow these ordinary people to survive. What's wrong with being a little partial? Those financial companies and associations are all very wealthy and have power that ordinary people cannot compete with. They often hire a lot of lawyers to circumvent various regulations."

"If we stick to the rules, we will be used by bad guys and become their accomplices in crimes. We will watch ordinary people being driven to death by them and be powerless to do anything."

Li Yan's remarks somewhat overturned Lin Guoping's education and common sense, but if you think about it carefully, they make sense.

"Besides, I am biased towards those evil forces who do evil. Those who should not be prosecuted are not prosecuted. Isn't it enough to pay a fine? If they dare to complain, I will follow the normal procedures and kill them for me."

"In short, if you don't have money, don't break the law. If you break the law, fine them. Fine them severely until they dare not break the law and can't afford it."

“This is the most distressing way to deal with it.”

"Damn it, you keep locking up people, and when you lock up a group, those bosses recruit another group and continue to show off their power. And prisons don't cost money. Do you know how much it costs to control those hooligans every day?"

"It's different with fines. If you don't redeem the people, the bosses will lose their support. No one will follow them anymore. The subordinates will think that you are heartless and gave up your people for a little money."

"If we ransom them, it won't be long before the money bags of these bosses are emptied by us, and they will naturally restrain their younger brothers from committing crimes."

Li Yan complained for a while and returned to his chair. Lin Guoping nodded, opened his notebook, and was about to continue his report.

Li Yan waved his hand impatiently: "For the rest of the matter, you can handle it yourself according to the rules I drew up. I didn't sleep well last night, so I need to rest for a while."

"Unless a superior like Director Yin, who is at the level of Assistant Director or above, comes to me, otherwise, I will turn them down."

After Li Yan finished speaking, he took off his coat, walked into the inner room without even returning to his seat, and lay down.

If there is one thing that Li Yan is most satisfied with after his promotion, it is that there is a rest room in the office where he can lie down and sleep. He no longer has to curl up in a chair like before, always feeling uncomfortable all over.

After a while, the sound of faint snoring echoed in the quiet office.

Lin Guoping looked at Li Yan speechlessly, carefully locked the office door from the inside, and returned to his office through the small door of the secretary's room.

The handover was in two days. In such a busy time, the senior officers of the police station would work one hour as if it were two hours, without even time to go to the toilet. And the only person who could sleep soundly in the office in the morning was probably Li Yan.

But Li Yan's words really shocked Lin Guoping, so much so that after returning to his office, his heart was still like a tumbling sea, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. Moreover, Li Yan played every day and still handled things so thoughtfully without affecting his promotion. I guess Li Yan is the only one in the West Kowloon Police Station who can do this.

Lin Guoping believed that there would be no one else in other police stations.

Although in the eyes of ordinary people, Li Yan is definitely not doing his job and is idle. But Lin Guoping is around Li Yan, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he does not look at things so superficially. Instead, he feels that Li Yan exudes an inexplicable sense of mystery. No matter how big the problem is, he can handle it easily.

It seems that there is nothing in this world that can stump him. He doesn't care even if the sky falls. But it must be said that Li Yan has a kind of steadfastness that can make people feel at ease. Although Lin Guoping is now handling the affairs of the deputy director and the serious crime team, without Li Yan's final approval and signature, Lin Guoping is unsure.

It was clearly something he made, but as soon as Li Yan agreed, Lin Guoping immediately felt that it became a golden rule that needed to be followed, and he didn't worry about any problems at all.

This kind of majestic demeanor and the ability to make everything go smoothly with a wave of the hand are things that Lin Guoping has not seen in other senior police officers.

This made Lin Guoping feel wary of Li Yan.
