Hong Kong News: Police Talker

At night at the Central seaside, the breeze brings the salty and wet sea water gently, and the moonlight and the lights of the distant city are intertwined, covering this sea area with a soft and mysterious veil.

Watson's figure looked particularly lonely in the dim light. His eyes seemed to penetrate through the layers of fog, staring at the deep ocean that was both distant and unknowable.

The sound of footsteps approached from far away, breaking the tranquility of the surroundings, but it did not bring a sense of abruptness. Liu Jianming slowly walked to Watson's side, stood side by side with him, and also cast his eyes towards the hazy sea horizon.

Without words, a tacit understanding was quietly established between the two of them, as if each of them could read the other's unspoken meaning from the silent back.

The waves hit the shore again and again, making bursts of low and powerful sounds, like the most primitive music of nature, adding a vivid rhythm to the tranquility.

Such a night, such a scene, makes people involuntarily slow down their thoughts and immerse themselves in an indescribable peace.

Time seems to freeze at this moment. All the noise around is isolated, leaving only the waves, the sound of the wind, and two hearts that may have their own thoughts but understand each other.

Although Watson and Liu Jianming never spoke, their eye contact was deep enough, as if they were silently telling each other's stories and sharing their common awe and emotion for this vast ocean.

Finally, it was Liu Jianming who broke the long silence. His voice was low and gentle, blending into the night: "Sometimes, looking at this vast ocean makes people feel that all their troubles become so insignificant, don't they?"

Watson tilted his head slightly, a trace of resonance flashed in his eyes, and he responded softly: "Yes, the vastness of the sea always reminds us that everything in the world has its meaning of existence, and we are just an insignificant part of it."

"But even if this is the case, I will not give up. I'm sure you've heard that my position as the commander of the Organized Crime and Triad Organization was taken away by Li Wenbin and that Kuang Zhili."

Liu Jianming did not answer immediately. Instead, he took out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to Watson, and took out one and put it in his mouth.

After the two of them lit up the cigarette with their backs to the wind, they took a puff.

"I heard about it. You also know Li Wenbin's background. His father is now the top man in the police force. No one in the entire police force can stop him from doing anything he wants."

"Kuang Zhili is a capable person who has handled many cases before. This is his information. As for Li Wenbin's, I dare not touch it, or even investigate it. Once the slightest clue is revealed, it will be noticed by others."

As he spoke, Liu Jianming handed Watson a file bag.

Watson took it and nodded, saying, "Well, it is true that we cannot check Li Wenbin's information. His confidentiality level is not at the same level as Kuang Zhili's. Not to mention that you have just been promoted to superintendent, even if you are a chief superintendent, it is very dangerous to check Li Wenbin's information."

"But we don't need to deal with Li Wenbin for now. We just need to deal with Kuang Zhili first."

"Li Wenbin will not stay in the position of chief commander of the Organized Crime and Triads for long. When he leaves, the position will be vacant. This is a very powerful position and there are many people vying for it. Li Wenbin probably wants Kwong Chi-lap to take over his position, so he asked Kwong Chi-lap to come to the Central Police Station to serve as the commander of the Organized Crime and Triads."

"This way, Kwong Chi-lap can be promoted to Senior Superintendent in the Central Police Station. After Li Wenbin is promoted, he can be promoted to Chief Superintendent and take up the position of Chief Commander of the Police Force's Organized Crime and Triad Organization."

"There is only one position, and Li Wenbin wants to leave it to Kuang Zhili, but sorry, I'm also interested in this position."

Liu Jianming smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I will help you, I am still waiting to hug your thigh."

"Haha, it is also possible that I am clinging to you. Now you are at the same level as me, and you are in a special department like the Political Department, which is much better than ordinary departments." Watson said with a smile.

At this point, Liu Jianming's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I came to the Central District Police Station this time with a mission." After a pause, he continued: "According to the intelligence of the Political Department, some of the senior officials of the Central District Police Station have contact with the mainland."

"Although the 97th return has been scheduled, it is still a few years away. The Special Branch sent me here to keep an eye on the senior officials of the Central Police Station."

Watson's expression also became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Did you say what to do next?"

"No!" Liu Jianming shook his head and said, "They just told me to keep an eye on these people, and specifically told me not to take any other actions. I was only allowed to keep an eye on them and report any situation at any time."

Watson hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems that they don't dare to tear their faces with the mainland. Do you have anyone you suspect?"

Liu Jianming shook his head solemnly: "No, the Political Department is just suspicious."

Many people's names suddenly appeared in Watson's mind, including Raymond, Dong Piao, Liang Ziwei, etc.!

These people may have connections with the mainland.

"Okay, then you can check it yourself, but you have to think it through clearly. There are only a few years left before the return." After a pause, he continued, "Also, the Political Department should be disbanded before the return. You know the nature of this department."

"To put it nicely, it's called the Political Department, but it's actually the Military Intelligence Department over there."

"You are still young. If possible, you'd better contact the mainland. You are still young and can be a police officer for decades. You don't want to be kicked out in a few years!"

"And I'll tell you the truth, I definitely lean towards the mainland, so if you don't find anything about the Political Department's mission, it's fine. If you do find anything, it's better to pretend you don't know."

Hearing this, a bitter look emerged on Liu Jianming's face. He now regretted joining the Political Department. What was the difference between this and joining the National Army in 49!

"Okay, I see."

Watson tilted his head to look at Liu Jianming's face, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, don't be sad. If you really contact the mainland, you might be able to make a contribution. Although it's a little dangerous, but these days, there is no such thing as doing anything without risk."

"If there is an opportunity, I will also contact the mainland. If there is support from the mainland, then my path will be much easier."

"You don't have to worry too much. You haven't done anything harmful since joining the Political Department. You'll be fine."
