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

Chapter 505: Trial by Three Judges (Part )

"Li Yan, do you know that Ye Yongchang was transferred to the police academy in the mid-1990s? At that time, he no longer had the power and obligation to send undercover agents to social groups outside?"

Li Yan shook his head and said innocently, "How would I know? I was a new student at the police academy. Ye Sir was the most senior police officer I could get in touch with at the time. He was also the principal of the police academy. I did whatever he said."

"Then tell me in detail, under what circumstances were you sent to Han Chen by Ye Yongchang? Explain the details clearly without leaving anything out." Xu Ding'an asked with a frown.

“That was in July of 1990.”

Li Yan began to recall the memories of his previous life, and said: "I am a smart person. When I was in junior high school and high school, I skipped grades. When I went to college, I only took three years to complete the courses that others needed four years to complete."

"When I was in college, I pursued a girl because her father was a policeman and she had admired policemen since she was a child. So after I graduated, I went to Wong Chuk Hang on impulse."

"Unexpectedly, within three days of entering the dormitory, I was called to Principal Ye's office. After some understanding and chatting, he said that I was a rare talent with good physical fitness. I didn't need any training at all. He could directly promote me to a formal police officer and assign me to perform a special mission. It would only take one or two years for me to return to the police force and rise to the top. Compared with other trainees, I would save several years of time at the grassroots level."

When Li Yan said this, an angry expression appeared on his face. When everyone heard this, they were also amazed at Ye Yongchang's boldness. Li Yan was obviously fooled by Ye Yongchang.

Before anyone could ask, Li Yan continued, "Later I learned that when Ye Sir was in the police station, he had a fierce battle with the gang members. They were going back and forth, and each of them was planting undercover agents around the other. When Ye Sir was in West Kowloon, the identities of several undercover agents he arranged to be sent directly from the police academy to the gang were all leaked."

"So, in a fit of rage, Ye Sir directly picked one from the students who were enrolled. This way, there would be no record in the police academy. It can be said that he was picked from the registration stage. No one could have imagined that?"

"Later, Ye Sir told me that the undercover was exposed because there was a traitor around him who revealed his true identity. It was also possible that the trainees had just completed six months of training and had too many police marks on them. The trainees were young, had little social experience, and did not know how to cover up, so they were discovered by someone with ulterior motives."

"They were selected from the students who had not yet enrolled. However, I was also very unlucky. I was the first one in the first batch."

Li Yan said here with a little depression and frustration: "Sir Ye, this is a bold idea, and it has not been reported to the higher-ups for approval. Of course, he said that the higher-ups would not approve it. Sending social personnel who have not received formal training to the community is a serious violation of regulations."

"Ye Sir had just arrived at the police academy, and his thinking was still stuck in the time when he was the chief officer of the O-Tribe. In fact, he had this idea a long time ago, but it was never accepted by his superiors. And he happened to be transferred to the police academy as the principal, he couldn't help it, and he met a good seedling like me, so he gave it a try."

Xu Dingan nodded slightly. He was very familiar with Ye Yongchang. They were old friends and often chatted together. The other party often had all kinds of ideas, which was indeed something someone like Ye Yongchang would do.

"You just said you were the first one in the first batch, so did Ye Yongchang send anyone else later?"

Li Yan shook his head: "Probably not. He only used me as a test. Before the results come out, he doesn't dare to try it on a large scale?"

"You must be joking. He is just a fresh graduate with no experience, no relevant skills or qualities. If someone dies or the incident is reported by the media, not only will the top brass of the Police Department not forgive him, but even the police force will not be able to take responsibility for this if public opinion is boiling over."

Xu Dingan nodded slightly. Ye Yongchang had been dead for several months. Because he died in office, the police force held a grand memorial service for him and posthumously awarded him many honors such as outstanding police officer. Didn't he expect that even after his death, he still left people with so much worry and left behind such a mess for himself?
Xu Dingan had already believed most of it at this point, but he still had many questions. He looked at the Grand Commander and Zeng Xiangrong, who had frowned, expressions of amazement and disbelief, as well as Director Chen and Lu Jianhua, who were stunned.

This kind of thing is indeed rare and bizarre, but it is not completely impossible.

If Li Yan was telling the truth, the entire situation would be completely reversed, and all previous series of mediations and arrangements would have to be started over again.

So for a moment, everyone was thinking about how to deal with these sudden revelations. Is Li Yan an official or a thief?
Everyone was unsure, so they all fell into deep thought and said nothing.

Xu Dingan thought for a while, and knew what everyone was worried about, so he asked, "No comment, can you provide any evidence?"

"You have to know that Ye Yongchang is no longer with us, and he can't prove what you said. Moreover, the earliest record of you in our police files is indeed March 1991. According to what you just said, the time you joined the police force should have been recorded from the end of 1990. Why didn't Ye Yongchang incorporate this record of yours into the police files?"

"I can now clearly tell you that what Ye Yongchang did was absolutely against the rules and was not allowed by police regulations. But considering that you were just an ignorant cadet police officer at the time and had not received relevant training, you were not very familiar with the operation of the upper echelons of the police force."

"As the principal of the police academy, Ye Yongchang's illegal behavior has nothing to do with you. As long as you can prove that you joined the police academy before 1991 and were entrusted by Ye Yongchang to enter the society to carry out undercover missions, then our police force can admit it."

The Grand Commander and Zeng Xiangrong looked at each other, and exchanged glances with Director Chen and Lu Jianhua. If this was the real situation, they had to admit it. Although Ye Yongchang violated the rules, Li Yan was innocent, a child who had not experienced much of the world, and they did not know whether the principal of the police academy had the power to send someone undercover. Once you enter the police academy, you will be under military management. You must execute the orders of your superiors without hesitation, even if they are wrong?

As long as it is not an obviously illegal act of murder or arson, executing orders is the police officer's duty and there is nothing wrong with it. Ye Yongchang's mistakes cannot be blamed on the trainees below.

Just like when you get into a car accident and the traffic police at the scene ask you to go home, it doesn’t count as fleeing the scene if you leave.

As for whether the traffic police's behavior is right or wrong, or even whether he is a fake traffic policeman, it has nothing to do with you. As long as he is wearing a police uniform and working on the street, the responsibility should be borne by the police force, not an individual.

As long as Li Yan reports his subsequent actions to Ye Yongchang according to the rules, Li Yan is innocent. As for how Ye Yongchang deals with him, it has nothing to do with Li Yan. Now it all depends on whether Li Yan can provide evidence?
"Of course there is!"

Li Yan said flatly: "I need to see my deputy commissioner, Superintendent Huo Qiqiang, he should be outside by now."

Xu Dingan nodded and glanced at Zeng Xiangrong.

Zeng Xiangrong looked at the Grand Commander helplessly, and had to tell Sister Xu who was taking notes: "Go out and see if Huo Qiqiang is here. If he is, let him in."

"Yes, Sir Zeng!"

Sister Xu responded and went out. After a while, Sister Xu pushed the door open and came in. Standing at the door, she said with an embarrassed look on her face, "Mr. Zeng, Huo Qiqiang brought a box and the security guard at the door wanted to check it, but he refused to do it, so he was blocked outside."

Zeng Xiangrong turned to look at Dong Zhenfang. The bodyguards at the door were brought by the Grand Commander, and he had no authority to command them.

Dong Zhenfang looked at the bodyguard figure behind Sister Xu, hesitated for a moment, looked at Director Chen and Mr. Huo who were smiling relaxedly, and nodded and said, "Since he is Mr. Huo's grandson, what are you worried about? No need to check, let him in!"

The bodyguard then let him in, and Huo Qiqiang, dressed in the uniform of a chief superintendent, walked in leisurely.

Everyone's eyes fixed, no one paid attention to Huo Qiqiang, but instead looked at the suitcase, which must contain the "evidence" that Li Yan mentioned.

Huo Qiqiang was a little intimidated when he saw a room full of heavyweights sitting there, but when he saw his grandfather was also there, he felt a little more at ease.

Mr. Huo said with a smile: "Since Li Yan asked you to come in, you should do as he said. Don't be rash."

Huo Qiqiang nodded and looked at Li Yan.

"Open the box, find the tape numbered 001, and put it on the machine opposite." Li Yan ordered.

Huo Qiqiang quickly put the suitcase on an empty table and opened it.

Several bigwigs at the scene looked inside curiously, and saw a lot of audio and video tapes, as well as some documents and notebooks.

Xu Dingan's eyes narrowed and his expression became serious. He had a premonition that things were not that simple. Now he revealed Li Yan's deeper identity, and he turned out to be Ye Yongchang's undercover. Logically speaking, when Li Yan returned to the police force, Ye Yongchang should have put Li Yan's previous file into the police force's internal files.

But Ye Yongchang did not do so. Xu Dingan knew that although Ye Yongchang had many ideas in his work, he was not a person who did not know the importance of things. Perhaps there was a very special reason behind this.

Ye Yongchang died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage a few months ago. At that time, Li Yan had already been promoted to the rank of Chief Superintendent and had been in the position for more than two years. Such a high-level undercover agent was unique in the history of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, and Ye Yongchang did not report to him.

Li Yan did not explain to himself that there must be a deep secret hidden in this, which might be horrifying.

So much so that two chief superintendents operated in private without telling the top police official like him.
