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

Chapter 351: Infighting at the Police Decision-making Meeting
Originally, the second son of Li wanted to hide this matter from Boss Li and solve it privately. After all, regardless of the big, the small must be taken care of. No matter how angry Boss Li is, his son Xiaowen is also a member of the Li family, and blood is thicker than water. His current Dongying Digital Technology project has been a great success, and he has made 600 billion from the market. The second son is rich and has plenty of money.

Through the experience of his eldest brother, he knew that the other party was only after money, so at most he could give some money and rescue his son.

As for Lin Zhihui, no matter how stupid the kidnappers were, they would not use this person to threaten him. They also knew that the truly valuable things were the small ones, and the big one was just a bonus.

Taking the older one with them was also an attempt to provide a free babysitter to take good care of the younger one. If the older one is to be valuable, it will take at least 30 years.
But once the news media reported this, the whole of Hong Kong was in an uproar and everyone knew about it.

Boss Li learned about all this when he was watching the news while having breakfast the next morning. He was furious. Seeing that the news had spread, on the one hand he was angry that his son was not careful enough; on the other hand he hated these people's unscrupulous behavior.

A phone call was made to the Governor of the Hong Kong government, strongly protesting against this behavior and demanding that the police arrest these criminals and bring them to justice as soon as possible.

The Grand Governor's Office called the police chief Xu Dingan again, exerting pressure on him.
The first brother was also a bit troubled. In the past, kidnapping cases were usually very secretive and low-key, affecting a small area. The criminals wanted money and were most afraid of making it known to everyone. Even if the person involved did not call the police, no one outside would know about the kidnapping of his family members until they were brought back.

I didn't expect this incident to come with such force and become so big. Those people took action last night, and the phone call for money probably hasn't been made yet, but it has already caused a sensation in Hong Kong today. Moreover, the person involved is the Li family, which is at the top of the pyramid of Hong Kong's wealthy families.

Damn these reporters. How could they have been caught by chance? It was like a live broadcast, making a big fuss and putting all parties in a passive position. There is no way to ignore it now.
After all, the identity of the person involved is too sensitive!

The richest man, superman, the wealthy Li family, hereditary knighthood, any one of these titles would attract people's attention. There is no one more prominent than Boss Li in the entire Hong Kong Island.

Anything that happened to Boss Li was enough to attract everyone's attention, let alone such a bizarre case of the kidnapping of his illegitimate child.

In order to show his seriousness, the eldest brother immediately convened a decision-making meeting of the Police Force. He also called in several directors and deputy directors of the West Kowloon Police Station, where the crime occurred, to attend the meeting. He also held a small-scale temporary expanded meeting to listen to the case report on the spot.

Several directors and deputy directors of West Kowloon were in a panic. They should have had a rest on New Year's Day, but they had already arranged their schedules. Some were spending time with their wives, some with their children, and some used the excuse of working overtime to spend time with their lovers.

They were told early in the morning that such a vicious case had occurred last night. They tacitly postponed their schedules and rushed to the police station.

Before I could understand the details, I was summoned to the police department by a phone call from the boss's office. I rushed to the meeting and faced the cold faces of the big bosses.

A few people knew that such a thing had happened in their jurisdiction. With such a mess, the boss must be in a bad mood. What should he report? He knew nothing. If he went up to report, wouldn't it be obvious that he would be scolded by the three directors and deputy directors?

After much buck-passing, it was finally Li Yan, the leader of the serious crime squad with the lowest rank, who stepped forward to report the details of the situation.

Li Yan was fine. When arranging the duty list for the New Year's Day holiday yesterday, he took the initiative to give up the opportunity to take a vacation and generously took over today's shift. With the satisfied attitude of several directors, he got off work early last night and went home to spend time with his wife and children.

So Li Yan came early today and learned the details of the case from Huo Qiqiang who had been busy all night. Huo Qiqiang looked tired, sleepy and indignant.

Of course Li Yan knew why Qiangzi had such a bad face, but he didn't take it too far. He comforted Qiangzi to have a good rest in his office and left the matter of reporting to the headquarters to him.

Huo Qiqiang's expression eased a little, and he fell into Li Yan's lounge and began to snore.

At this time, he pretended to be a good guy and stood up, which made several superiors who were higher in position than him quite satisfied.

"Director, officers, after preliminary investigations and the forensic autopsy, as well as the blurry surveillance video at the scene, we can basically confirm that the crime took place at midnight last night, just after the countdown to the turn of the century."

"The crime scene was at New World Plaza in Tsim Sha Tsui East, Victoria Harbour. At the time, the cruise ships in the harbour were setting off fireworks, and most people's attention was on the sea."

"."

".The police are chasing the criminals in the commercial vehicle they were riding in."

"."

Li Yan was wearing a white senior police uniform. He was handsome, calm, and very capable. He was not afraid to speak in front of the senior police officers. He said, "Director, officers, this is what happened. We have confirmed that the two deceased were the private bodyguards assigned to Ms. Lin by the second son of the Li family. Li Kai also admitted that the four-year-old child of the missing Ms. Lin was his illegitimate child."

"We have retrieved the on-site surveillance video, but the location of the people was not good at the time. In addition, there were too many people at the scene. The fireworks and the neon spotlights of the buildings on both sides also had some impact on the surveillance video."

"Yesterday was the New Year's Eve of the millennium, and nearly a million people flocked to both sides of Victoria Harbour to celebrate, so so far, no trace of the suspected criminals has been found."

"However, we are doing our best to investigate." The senior officials at the scene felt a headache after hearing this. They all knew what happened last night and there was really no way they could blame the grassroots police officers anymore.

The eldest brother nodded with satisfaction. The staff of West Kowloon was very capable, as they were able to understand the case so clearly in such a short time.

Without getting angry again, he stretched out his right hand and waved it down. Li Yan sat down knowingly. The eldest brother glanced at the senior executives sitting there and said, "This incident has caused a huge public outcry. We must arrest the criminals as soon as possible and rescue Ms. Lin Zhihui and her child. Tell me, what should we do about this matter?"

Gao Jianbin has not yet linked this case to the Vietnamese team behind Han Chen, because those Vietnamese have always been very low-key in their work, and their targets have always been on middle and low-level families. They have never targeted the top families in the upper class of Hong Kong Island, let alone Boss Li who is at the top of the pyramid.

Moreover, the Vietnamese are gentle in their actions and have never killed anyone. But seeing how decisive and ruthless their attack this time was, you can tell that it has nothing to do with those people.

So there was no psychological pressure at this time. As the first deputy director, as soon as the first brother finished speaking, he immediately took the lead and began to show his presence, angrily scolding: "These people are simply rampant, arrogant and lawless, and they don't take our police seriously."

"Commissioner, I suggest that this matter should be taken seriously. The Police Department should immediately form a special task force and mobilize capable personnel to solve the case as soon as possible, arrest these criminals, and bring them to justice."

Although Gao Jianbin's attitude was stern and his posture was rather high, he just said a lot of nonsense.

The eldest brother did not comment, but turned his head expressionlessly to look at the other deputy director, Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Although this matter has caused a big stir, it is just an ordinary crime case. Since the crime took place in Tsim Sha Tsui, we can just hand it over to the West Kowloon Crime Squad for investigation. There is no need to mobilize a large force."

"If the police department takes over, there will be no room for maneuver. If the situation gets out of control and escalates, the police department will be in a passive position and the responsibility will be on us."

Shen Cheng's suggestion was quite standard and flexible. He handed the case over to the lower level, and if it was handled well at that time, it would naturally depend on the good leadership above. But if something unexpected really happened, the department would have room to maneuver.

Yin Yin also pointed out that if he took the responsibility on himself, the case would be solved and the person would be rescued, then everyone would be happy and everything would be easy.

But no one can guarantee that the result will be good. If the police department fails to solve the case, or the criminals kill someone, or something happens to Boss Li's family, the consequences will be very troublesome.

Gao Jianbin was too impulsive and not calm enough. He only wanted to take the credit, but he didn't consider that if things got messy, the boss and the entire police department would be the ones to suffer.

The eldest brother nodded with satisfaction. Compared with Gao Jianbin, who was aggressive and showed off his presence everywhere, Shen Cheng, who was down-to-earth and low-key, was more calm in thinking about things. He considered failure before success, had a better grasp of the big picture, and was more mature in planning for the country.

His expressionless face in response to Gao Jianbin's opinion just now, and his nodding in approval of Shen Cheng's opinion with a slight smile now, is simply a weather vane.

Everyone immediately caught the boss's true attitude, and the three senior assistant directors except Liang Feihu expressed their agreement.

Liang Feihu looked embarrassed. He glanced at Gao Jianbin, pursed his lips twice, and said nothing.

The one-sided scene made Gao Jianbin's expression suffocate. His face turned gloomy and ugly. He glanced at Shen Cheng with obscure and angry eyes and fell silent.

Damn it, this Shen Cheng is always better than me. If I don't bring him down, his strength will grow day by day, and his prestige will surpass mine, and he will become the de facto first deputy of the boss.

Should we fight for the top or the bottom?
In an instant, Gao Jianbin made up his mind, his mind was working frantically, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

Gao Jianbin calmed down without making any noise. This case was a great achievement, but it could also become a big pit at any time and trap Shen Cheng inside. Wasn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Instead of fighting for such a credit with an uncertain future, it is better to turn it into a Waterloo for Shen Cheng. This will be more beneficial to oneself and a greater gain.

It's much better than solving a case and getting some credit!
Gao Jianbin quickly perfected his plan in his mind, and then his expression changed. With a gentle smile, he nodded repeatedly to Shen Cheng in approval: "Deputy Director Shen is right. I didn't even think of this just now. I'm really ashamed!"

"It can be seen that Deputy Director Shen has rich experience in handling cases and handles things prudently! I also agree with Deputy Director Shen's suggestion to hand the case over to West Kowloon to handle."

Gao Jianbin's change in attitude was beyond everyone's expectations, even Brother Yi was a little surprised.
