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

Chapter 357 Li Yan and Shen Cheng's meeting
The next morning, Shen Cheng arrived at the West Kowloon Police Station with two followers. Yin Jianqiang and several deputy directors greeted him at the door. After a brief greeting, they invited Shen Cheng to the conference room.

This meeting did not have as many high-level officials as yesterday. Instead, there were only a few directors and deputy directors, and then members of the special task force, most of whom were team leaders of Group B of the Serious Crime Division.

"We all warmly welcome Deputy Director Shen from the headquarters to come and give us guidance."

"Wow!" A warm round of applause broke out, and everyone looked at Shen Cheng with enthusiasm and admiration.

Everyone is familiar with this format. Everyone plays their role conscientiously and everything is in order.

The scene was solemn and formal, yet warm and thoughtful, and the atmosphere was just right.

Shen Cheng also walked to the first seat in the conference room while clapping. After the applause lasted for a while, Shen Cheng stretched out his hands and pressed them down, and the applause gradually died down.

After Yin Jianqiang led the police officers of the police station to express their welcome again, everyone sat down.

Rong Yinjianqiang, with a smile on his face, said excitedly: "Deputy Director Shen, our colleagues below are eagerly looking forward to your arrival to lead us in our work!"

"I've heard that you have extensive grassroots work experience and rich experience. When you were in the New Territories, you solved countless major cases. This is worth learning from. Now that you are here today, we have a backbone."

Shen Cheng smiled slightly and nodded in agreement!
Nowadays, no matter where you go, it's basically the same routine. It's okay to just listen to these polite words. Maybe Director Yin, who has a respectful expression on his face, doesn't even know what cases you have handled. It's already very good to know that you have worked in the New Territories.

"Deputy Commissioner Shen, let me introduce you to some colleagues from the Kowloon West Region and some members of the task force. Please see if there is anything else you need to add. We, the entire police station, will do our best to cooperate."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Director Yin." Shen Cheng nodded to show his agreement!

"No, it's my honor to serve Deputy Director Shen."

Yin Jianqiang said politely, then pointed to the first person on his left and said, "This is Deputy Commissioner Huang Zhijian, Chief Superintendent of Police. He is responsible for the overall work of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau. In addition, several departments such as the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau are also presided over by Superintendent Huang."

Huang Zhijian attended today just to fit in the occasion, to show his importance and to raise the level of the event.

Therefore, there was no intention to greet or exchange pleasantries, so as not to delay the main business. Otherwise, if everyone just said a few polite words to Deputy Director Shen, the whole morning would be wasted.

So he just nodded and smiled, and Shen Cheng also nodded.

Wan Kin Keung then introduced the next person: "This is Deputy Commissioner Wong Chi Shing, in charge of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, with the rank of Chief Superintendent."

"This is Deputy Director Li Yan, in charge of the Serious Crime Unit and also the Chief of the Internal Affairs Section, with the rank of Senior Superintendent."

"This is the head of the Crime Squad B, Huo Qiqiang, with the rank of Superintendent."

"This is the team leader Zhu Hongxuan, and this is the team leader Wu Changqing."

"."

Yin Jianqiang introduced everyone present one by one, allowing Shen Cheng to have a preliminary understanding of them.

Then he announced publicly that the 001 task force was officially established, with Deputy Director Shen Cheng as the team leader and Li Yan as the deputy team leader.

The task force members include Huo Qiqiang from Group B of the Serious Crime Unit, two group leaders, four team leaders, and some capable individuals.

After making the arrangements, Yin Jianqiang looked at Shen Cheng for instructions.
Seeing this, Shen Cheng looked at Yin Jianqiang meaningfully, which made Yin Jianqiang feel a little uneasy. He looked at Shen Cheng with pleading eyes.

The task force was all talk and no action. None of the deputy commissioners at the chief superintendent level were included in it. Yin Jianqiang's approach did seem a bit frivolous.

But between two evils, he chose the lesser of two evils. He would rather make Deputy Director Shen a little dissatisfied than put himself in danger and become a victim of the game between the two deputy directors.

Shen Cheng knew exactly what Yin Jianqiang and a group of Chief Superintendents and Deputy Commissioners were thinking, and he was unwilling to make things difficult for them. The absence of these people might not be a bad thing, as at least they were neutral and would not take sides.

If these people really get involved in solving the case, it is not certain who they will help at that time.

As long as Li Yan, whom he valued, was in there, it would be fine. Shen Cheng glanced at Yin Jianqiang twice, letting him know that he understood his little tricks. It was not that he was fooled by him, but that he was tolerant and generous and would not bother with him.

It's enough that Director Yin can do me a favor.

Seeing Yin Jianqiang's guilty face and a look of pleading for mercy, Shen Cheng saved his face.

So he retracted his gaze, coughed twice, and said, "Director Yin's arrangements are very thoughtful, and I won't say any more. In the future, I will work hard with my colleagues in the serious crime team, hoping to solve the case as soon as possible and live up to the expectations of Director Xu Dingan and the citizens of Hong Kong Island."

Shen Cheng finished speaking concisely, then turned to look at Yin Zhiqiang: "Director Yin, the task force will handle cases independently in the future. Just find me an office next to Team Leader Li Yan's office. I will work there directly in the future." "Also, transfer two good people from the Criminal Intelligence Department to me for technical work such as tracking and wiretapping."

"There are still many daily affairs in the office. Don't be affected. The rest of you should do what you need to do. There is no need to deal with these formalities every day. If there is a need, I will naturally find you."

Yin Jianqiang was delighted, this was the best, when you guys are fighting, the better for us to stay away from them so as to avoid being implicated.

After a simple meeting in the morning, Yin Zhiqiang, as the host, held a welcoming banquet for Shen Cheng in a nearby restaurant at noon.

In the afternoon, Shen Cheng went directly to work next door to Li Yan. At noon, the General Affairs Department temporarily converted a conference room on the third floor of the Director's Building where Li Yan worked into the 001 Task Force Office, where Shen Cheng worked.

After everyone left, Li Yan came to Shen Cheng's office alone.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down in the reception area. Li Yan made two cups of tea, Shen Cheng handed Li Yan a cigarette, and the two started chatting.

"Deputy Director Shen, I told you to use my office, but you refused and insisted on staying here. This environment is too shabby."

Shen Cheng held a cigarette in one hand and stroked his hair with the other. He looked relaxed and pretended to be mysterious: "Li Yan, have you ever heard that things change people, but people can't change things?"

'Well'

Seeing Li Yan's stunned look, he smiled and said, "There are no outsiders here, so just call me Brother Shen. Calling me Deputy Director is just for show, unless you don't consider me a friend?"

"Haha, Brother Shen, you are really not in a hurry at all. Do you know that you have fallen into a dilemma now?"

Seeing Shen Cheng act like one of his own, Li Yan relaxed and leaned back on the sofa, saying with a smile, "Do you know that when I was at the headquarters yesterday, Director Liang called me over and told me not to rush, take my time, and not to wrongly accuse a good person."

"If someone dares to interfere with your investigation by relying on his high position, feel free to go to the headquarters and find him. Deputy Director Gao and Director Liang are my strongest backers and will not allow anyone to bully me."

"Hahaha"

Shen Cheng felt relieved when he heard that. Li Yan's attitude relieved half of the pressure in Shen Cheng's heart, although Shen Cheng looked confident and didn't seem to care on the surface.

But one's own family knows one's own business. The impact of this case is really great. If it is not handled well, it may really become a Waterloo in his career. How could Shen Cheng not care?

Yesterday, I and He Chaohua studied it for an entire night and found that this case seems simple but is actually very complicated.

Unlike ordinary kidnapping and ransom cases, this case has three difficulties besides the case itself.

Firstly, most kidnapping cases take place in sparsely populated places, but this time it happened in public, and the crime was committed decisively and directly. In addition, the target was a member of the Li family. All these phenomena showed that the criminals were extremely confident.

Secondly, the case was a hot topic from the beginning, with the citizens of Hong Kong Island paying attention and the Hong Kong government attaching great importance to it, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of solving the case. Under such pressure, it is unknown whether the criminals will continue to contact the victims to ask for money.

Thirdly, Gao Jianbin regarded this case as the main battlefield in his fight with himself, and would inevitably hinder and hinder him secretly, so that the case could not proceed smoothly.

Because of the Li family's special background and Gao Jianbin's strong involvement, this case has become extremely complicated.

The involvement of so many forces has caused the case to long since deviate from its own meaning.

In addition, Shen Cheng had worked in the Security Bureau for many years, and later transferred to the Police Department. In order to adapt to his current job, he had been away from the grassroots for too long. If he was engaged in power struggles, it would be fine, but when it came to solving cases, he was really at a loss.
Although Shen Cheng is not good at solving cases, he knows how to use people. He knows that as long as he uses people who are good at investigating cases, he can naturally make up for his shortcomings.

What you have to do is to create good rear conditions for these people, then grant them official positions and make promises, give them the benefits they need, and you won't be afraid that the people below won't work hard for you.

The people in Hong Kong are more open-minded and practical. Shen Cheng was disgusted and uncomfortable at the beginning, but now he is becoming more and more familiar with this.

What he had to do now was to completely subdue the man in front of him and play a game of Infernal Affairs with Gao Jianbin.

After meeting Li Yan for the first time in front of Lu Qichang's tomb, Shen Cheng had the idea of ​​winning Li Yan over, and later checked all of Li Yan's files.

Just like the first brother, after reading it, Shen Cheng admired and praised Li Yan even more, and also understood Li Yan better. This is a very capable person, and he is not the kind of old workhorse who only knows how to work hard. He is a well-rounded talent who is good at dealing with people and dancing with long sleeves.

After learning that Li Yan was brought up by Huang Zhicheng, who was Liang Feihu's man, Shen Cheng did not act rashly. He just looked at him occasionally. He believed that a smart man like Li Yan would be able to feel his kindness.

Sure enough, after Ni San's case, Shen Cheng spoke well of Li Yan at the decision-making meeting of the Police Department and allowed him to concurrently serve as deputy director. Not long after that, Li Yan found an excuse to visit him.

Finally, the two of them went to drink tea together and had a pleasant conversation. Li Yan did not say thank you, but his attitude showed his gratitude to him.
