The Chief Detective Inspector is dead. I'm now the top police officer in Hong Kong!

Chapter 56 The Gun King Case

A month later, Lin Tiansheng drove the Chevrolet with one hand, taking Li Shaifeng back to school. As they approached the school gate, Li Shaifeng, wearing a white school uniform, sat in the passenger seat and timidly said, "Brother Sheng."

"what's up?"

Lin Tiansheng looked at the road and casually replied.

“Last week, a TV producer wanted me to act in a movie for the school anniversary performance. Is that okay?” Li Shaifeng said.

Lin Tiansheng laughed and said, "Go ahead, as long as it's not for filming Category III movies, it's a good thing that someone is looking for you."

Only in Hong Kong in the 1980s would a producer take a liking to an ordinary person, invite them to act in a movie, and then they become incredibly popular again.

With all industries developing rapidly, the lack of talent training systems leads to the introduction of talent from outside the industry, creating opportunities for ordinary people.

The producer who found Li Shaifeng was Siu Hin-fai from RTV's television department. He was working on filming "The Land of Love" and was looking for a country girl role, but after searching around, he couldn't find a suitable person.

I happened to see the beautiful and clever Ah Feng at the school anniversary gala and casually invited her to audition.

"Many, thank you."

Li Shaifeng was surprised that he agreed so easily, and her eyes were full of joy.

"Remember to show me the contract, I'll check it for you."

Lin Tiansheng parked his car at the school gate.

"Ah."

Li Shaifeng pushed open the car door and walked into the school. She probably guessed that Lin Tiansheng wanted to modify her contract and pocket the money, but she didn't care. As long as she could go to the film set to have fun, that was enough.

He owns all the people, but he doesn't earn much money. He loves to gamble, so it doesn't matter if he takes it for fun.

Back at the West Kowloon Police Station, Ma Delong, Liu Yida, and others were engrossed in organizing materials.

Soon after getting to know Xi Mingle, he gained his trust, obtained clues about key figures, and after more than a month of investigation, he worked diligently with the intelligence department.

We have identified three major border crossings: Lo Wu, Man Kam To, and Sha Tau Kok, and have assigned one senior inspector to each.

According to customs regulations, each port of entry is supervised by a chief supervisor and two assistants who are in charge of personnel and operations.

Each shift is led by a senior inspector.

Sending a batch of goods, at most a dozen or so trucks, can clear customs in half an hour; bribing a senior inspector to let it pass is enough.

As for whether the senior inspector received instructions from his superiors to distribute the money to them, this is beyond the scope of the investigation and there are no concrete clues.

Lin Tiansheng could only keep an eye on senior inspectors at most, and he set his sights on "Deng Zongliang".

Zhang Jinrong grabbed a stack of photos and handed them to Lin Tiansheng: "Boss, these are new photos taken by the paparazzi."

"Deng Zongming seduced his sister-in-law?"

Lin Tiansheng flipped through the photos, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly, "Good upbringing, you know how to have fun, Ah Ming."

In the photo, a man and a woman are having sex in a car. The woman is feigning resistance, her face flushed, and she is wearing a bright red lace vest underneath. Through their investigation, the team members have uncovered Deng's network of connections and know that "Deng Zongliang" and "Deng Zongming" are Deng Yuchang's two most trusted junior associates.

Among them, Deng Zongliang was the orphan of the second wife. He was fostered in Deng Yuchang's home and treated like his own son. He was in his prime, just over thirty years old.

He specializes in managing the family's smuggling, casinos, horse stables, and other shady businesses. He holds a prominent position within the Lianying Society and is an important behind-the-scenes boss.

Deng Zongming was Deng Yuchang's son born late in life and was the most favored. He was very young, just over twenty years old. He was not good at studying, so he idled away his time, managing restaurants and markets in the countryside and collecting rent.

“Anyone with eyes can see that Deng Zongliang is doing shady work, while Deng Zongming is doing a terrible job. It’s definitely because he’s the favored son,” Zhang Jinrong said with a smile. “But Deng Zongming seems to envy A-Liang’s prestige and always takes the lead in everything, hoping to surpass him.”

"He's not good at doing things, but he's great at picking up women. He's young and handsome, and he even slept with Ah Liang's wife in private. If you send this photo to Ah Liang, you'll definitely see some good stuff."

Lin Tiansheng sat down, looked at the group of waiters who had gathered around, and said thoughtfully, "This is a good hand, we can't play it recklessly. If we send it to A-Liang, it's a woman who dies, not A-Ming. If we send it to A-Ming, we can have a good talk with him."

Is it a big deal if your wife sleeps with you? For some people, it's like the sky is falling; for others, it's nothing. Deng Zongliang is more like the latter.

Deng Zongming's ignorance in doing even his sister-in-law's things indirectly proves that he is tough on the outside but weak on the inside, lacking common sense. From a human nature perspective, he is more suitable to be manipulated and may achieve unexpected results.

Ma Delong, now wearing the rank of police sergeant, flattered, "Inspector Lin is brilliant! He's like a needle piercing the heart of the Deng family. Deng Yuchang will be so angry he'll die."

Zhang Jinrong chuckled, "Sure, the dumber a person is, the easier they are to be taken advantage of."

A family can prosper with the support of its pillars, but it can also decline with just one useless member.

This case required a lot of hard work, but as long as the police force put in the effort, they're sure to uncover some juicy details. Otherwise, gangsters and big bosses wouldn't be so intimidated by someone in a military uniform.

As Chen Sheng walked out of Pi Zhibang's office, he passed by Lin Tiansheng and said, "Lin sir, the boss wants to see you."

"Right away." Lin Tiansheng closed the case file, gave Lao Ma a look, and got up to walk towards the senior inspector's office. Recently, the entire team has been keeping a low profile, strictly managing all case files and materials, for fear that Deng would use money to pave the way and interfere in the major crimes unit.

You can't guard against people's hearts; you can only keep things secret.

After closing the office door, Lin Tiansheng went to the desk, picked up Pi Zhibang's Marlboro, and put one in his mouth: "Pi sir, what's up?"

Pi Chi-pong, looking somber, threw a file on the table and said, "East Kowloon is reopening the investigation of an old case. The gunman shot and killed a rubber factory owner at the Cheung Chau Dragon Boat Festival. He was cornered in a stairwell by a riot police team. After wounding four of the team's men, he escaped calmly. For many years, the police couldn't find any clues. East Kowloon has found them."

Lin Tiansheng took the file, opened the first page, and saw a photo of someone wearing a mask, a baseball cap, and motorcycle gear: "East Kowloon?"

Pi Chi-pong exhaled a puff of smoke and warned, "Be careful, those guys in East Kowloon aren't up to any good."

Lin Tiansheng, holding the case file and flicking the photos with his fingers, strolled back to his office, put down the documents, and asked, "Have you heard about the shooting incident at the Cheung Chau Dragon Boat Festival?"

Deng Gengyun looked puzzled and asked, "Boss, is it the Gun King case? I was on duty at the Dragon Boat Festival that day, responsible for directing traffic."

"The criminal, single-handedly, wounded four assault team members at the dock, gaining notoriety and becoming known on the streets as the 'King of Guns,' a professional killer."

Lin Tiansheng took a deep breath, feeling a sharp edge on his back: "The most shameless professional assassin has had his face photographed."

Ma Delong picked up the documents, his expression serious. Zhang Jinrong couldn't help but lean in, his eyes filled with worry. There aren't that many coincidences when solving cases.

Perhaps the professional hitman just took on another job?
Lin Tiansheng's eyes were deep, conveying a hidden message: "The case was thrown over from East Kowloon. Ah Rong, find someone."
