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

Chapter 454 Play hard to get?

Li Yan turned around and asked the colleague who was recording in the back: "Do you have evidence to accuse Mr. Han?"

"Mr. Li, no."

"Mr. Huang has woken up this morning. He is very sure that Han Chen was the one who ordered this incident. However, he also said that if we want to find evidence, we have to find Scarface first."

"Um"

Li Yan said decisively: "In that case, let's bail out Mr. Han and release him!"

Han Chen didn't expect Li Yan to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment, and Huo Qiqiang behind him also looked puzzled.

Liu Jianming hurriedly stepped forward and pretended to stop him, saying, "Mr. Li, this..."

"Even if there is no evidence to accuse him, he is still responsible for Superintendent Huang's injury. It's not appropriate to let him go like this, right?" Liu Jianming asked what everyone wanted to ask, and several people looked puzzled.

Li Yan shook his head: "The law is based on evidence. Since we haven't found any evidence, Mr. Han is innocent. We still have to release him after 48 hours."

"Everyone's time is precious. In this case, why waste time detaining Mr. Han here?"

Li Yan turned around and said to Han Chen, "If there is really a problem, can we ask Mr. Han to help investigate? Mr. Han won't just run away like this, right?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Li Yan's frankness not only failed to reassure Han Chen, but made Fatty Han even more alert. Even Liu Jianming on the side was acting suspiciously.

But Li Yan had no scruples at all, why?
However, it is definitely better to leave than to be locked up here. Outside, he can deal with the police calmly. Fatty Han immediately said calmly, "I am innocent. Why should I run away?"

"That's right. Let them go. I'll take responsibility if there are any problems." Li Yan didn't say anything more. He gave the order and walked out with a few people.

"Yes, Sir Li!"

The extra who was taking notes agreed and asked someone to come in to process the procedure.

Huo Qiqiang and Liu Jianming followed Li Yan through the office area of ​​O Tribe and came to Li Yan's office in the director's building.

As soon as he entered the room, Huo Qiqiang asked, "Mr. Li, that fat guy Han is too arrogant. Everyone knows that Mr. Huang was injured because of his order. So you just let him go?"

"There's no point in keeping him in prison. People from the three major police departments have searched all night and still can't find Scarface's whereabouts. Han Chen looks so confident. Keeping him in prison will only waste our time."

Li Yan looked at Liu Jianming and said, "Jianming, send someone to follow Han Chen 24 hours a day. I believe he must know where Scarface is hiding."

"He would be more afraid than us that Scarface would fall into the hands of the police. He would either help him escape or silence him, and they would definitely contact him."

Liu Jianming's eyes lit up, and he flattered happily, "I understand. Li Sir wants to play the long game and catch a big fish. I'll arrange it right away."

Seeing Liu Jianming leave, Huo Qiqiang asked with some concern: "Brother-in-law, can we really catch Scarface this way?"

"Do you think Han Chen has already silenced him?"

"Qiangzi, a lot of things have happened during this period of time. You have been observing from the sidelines. Have you observed anything suspicious?" Li Yan did not answer Huo Qiqiang's question. Instead, he sat on the sofa, posing as if he was ready to chat, and asked back.

Seeing this, Huo Qiqiang made two cups of tea and placed one in front of Li Yan. Then he sat down and frowned, thinking for a while, and said doubtfully: "Of course there are. For example, after you were framed, you didn't even think about revenge. Is this very suspicious?"

"Also, Mr. Huang caught a big fish like Han Chen, but you don't want to share the credit?"

"Also, no laundry detergent used for the transaction was found at Longgu Beach? Did the Thais and Han Chen's people fight for no apparent reason?"

At this point, Huo Qiqiang subconsciously looked around and said in a low voice: "The most suspicious thing is, why did Liu Jianming send someone to follow Huang Sir?"

"And he was also involved in the case that night? You trusted him so much that you asked him, a suspect, to investigate the mole. After almost a week of investigation, you didn't find anything. This is very suspicious?"

Li Yan looked at Huo Qiqiang with appreciation. It was very good that he could see so much.

Huo Qiqiang's last sentence hinted subtly that Liu Jianming was actually very suspicious. He was involved in several problems and the possibility that he was the traitor was higher than anyone else.

It is not surprising that Huo Qiqiang can see these things as he is a bystander and is at the core of power.

But he was clearly suspicious in his heart, but this time he was able to pretend that he noticed nothing. He was busy running around with everyone else from beginning to end, pretending to know nothing and showing no signs of standing out. This is very rare.

Li Yan was very pleased that Huo Qiqiang had the basic awareness required of a high-ranking official. This showed that Huo Qiqiang had matured. With the chess pieces he had left for him, he would have no problem controlling the future situation.

"Qiangzi, you asked a very good question just now. In fact, letting Han Chen out is not to lure out Scarface, but to let Han Chen continue to commit suicide, and then find an opportunity to kill him. If he is locked up in the police station, it is equivalent to protecting him!"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, instantly stirring up a three-foot-high wave in Huo Qiqiang's heart. He looked at Li Yan in disbelief.

Huo Qiqiang asked in astonishment: "How could it be? Brother-in-law, you mean that Han Chen will have a fight with Scarface and be killed by Scarface?" "As for how Han Chen died? You can wait and see. When you have figured out the situation completely by your own ability, you can be promoted to Chief Superintendent and handle things on your own?" Li Yan did not directly answer Huo Qiqiang's question again.

Instead, he left Huo Qiqiang in suspense, said something inexplicable, and looked out the window with a calm face.

Huo Qiqiang didn't even pay attention to the promotion that he was always most interested in, but was concentrating on thinking about Li Yan's words.

Although Li Yan had stayed out of the matter just like himself during this period, Huo Qiqiang increasingly saw in Li Yan the kind of calmness and composure that belonged to his grandfather, the kind of calmness and self-assurance that came from being in control of the overall situation.

Since Li Yan didn't say anything, I have to let myself observe, understand and think.

It also shows that things may be more complicated than he imagined, so much so that Li Yan feels it is worth his own effort to figure it out and learn from it.

Liu Jianming, who was leaving, turned around and sent a message to Han Chen, informing him of Li Yan's plan.

Han Chen, who had just left the police force, sat in his car, opened his mobile phone with a smile on his face, and a slightly smug expression appeared on his face.

Play hard to get?

Haha, it’s just as I thought, but Li Yan could never have dreamed that the person he hired to follow him was actually his undercover agent.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Several major departments of the West Kowloon Police Station were mobilized and almost searched the entire Hong Kong Island, but Scarface was still not found.

Li Yan originally set the time at three days, which was considered very unwise by most people.

Because of the time limit, if it cannot be achieved by then, the prestige of the superior will be lost to a certain extent. But on the other hand, once it is achieved, it will greatly deter others, establish a positive image of the superior, and give people a sense of majesty that his words are followed by laws and he can make decisions immediately.

The reason why Li Yan did this was, on the one hand, to establish his authority; on the other hand, it was also to increase the importance of the matter.

Invisibly, it will enhance the merits of the final contributor.

Generally speaking, there is an unspoken common sense experience in the police force that for a large-scale manhunt like this, there is a three-day golden period. If the person is not found in the first three days, it will be basically difficult to find him later.

Firstly, the time limit has been missed, and secondly, the enthusiasm of the police officers will only last for three days at most, after which they will become lazy.

By around nine o'clock in the evening, most of the officers returned to the police station, said hello, and went off work.

Only people like Ho Kai Keung, Lam Kwok Tung, Lau Kin Ming and Lam Kwok Ping continued to persevere, but they also returned to the police station exhausted, waiting for their immediate superior Li Yan to get off work before they could go home.

At this time, Huo Qiqiang was in Li Yan's office, exhausted and collapsed on the sofa, shouting weakly: "Brother-in-law, I'm so tired, I really can't stand it anymore."

"I am a senior superintendent and the head of a large department, but you urged me to lead people to search Tsim Sha Tsui for three days. I almost searched Tsim Sha Tsui from head to toe, but I didn't even see Scarface."

"I guess that guy must have sneaked into Thailand or Vietnam a long time ago. At the very least, he crossed the border and slipped to the north. How could he stay in his old nest?"

Li Yan shook his head nonchalantly and said expressionlessly, "I asked you to run around with people every day. Didn't I ask you to go find someone?"

Well.
Huo Qiqiang was stunned and asked in confusion: "No way? Brother-in-law, why are you traveling around the world if you are not looking for someone? It's summer, the sun is scorching, and you know where our Hong Kong Island is located. It's at the southernmost tip and it's damn hot."

"It's only been three days and I've become darker and my skin is peeling from the sun. I've been working on this for a long time, and you're just standing here tiring yourself out, you idiot boy?"

Seeing Huo Qiqiang's angry and dissatisfied expression, Li Yan shook his head and handed Huo Qiqiang a note: "Go to this position and bring Scarface back?"

"What."

Huo Qiqiang was startled, and he jumped up from the sofa. He grabbed the note from Li Yan's hand and said excitedly, "Brother-in-law, it turns out that you have already figured out Scarface's hiding place. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I had to run around everywhere in such a hot sun."

"If you don't work so hard, how can you get recognition from others?"

Li Yan smiled slightly: "How can the credit seem so great by then? When you get promoted, how can I have the nerve to speak for you?"

"So this is ah?"

Huo Qiqiang suddenly understood something, and then his eyes rolled around, and he said, "In that case, brother-in-law, I think three days is still too short. It doesn't show my efforts and dedication at all. No matter how hard it is, it's only three days."

"How about I lead the team for another half a month? That way, it will show that I have devoted my life to this cause and will not stop until my death. Then, when you speak for me again, it will be more powerful."

Li Yan rolled his eyes in annoyance: "That's enough. I promised three days. Today is the last day. I can only make it through tonight. Tomorrow morning at two o'clock, I must see Scarface appear in the police station."

"Okay! Brother-in-law, I'll go there in a minute and bring the person back!"
