If you want to be a good person, find Huadi
Chapter 298 Chaos arises
Kida sat on the sofa for a long time, his heart like a fawn running around, unable to calm down. Finally, he couldn't suppress his inner uneasiness, stood up, walked to the coffee table, and picked up the black phone.
His fingers trembled slightly as he dialed the familiar number. The phone rang only twice before being quickly picked up. Kida took a deep breath and said into the phone, "Sir, I have confirmed that Huadi has been detained in the ICAC cell. There is absolutely no way he can leave there."
There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, no immediate response. Kida could hear the other person breathing softly, as if they were thinking about something. After a while, the other person finally spoke, but only said a simple "Got it." Then, the phone was disconnected with a beep.
Kida slowly put down the phone, his heart growing heavier. He returned to the bed and sat down heavily. However, even though his body was already lying on the bed, his thoughts were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and he couldn't stop.
The news he had just received on the phone kept spinning in his mind—Richard had died in his own home! Moreover, based on the current situation, it seemed to be just an accident.
However, Kida and his companions did not believe that this was just an accident. How could Richard Couch, the Chief Superintendent who was about to be promoted to Deputy Commissioner of the Special Branch of the Hong Kong Police Station, have met with such an accident so easily?
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for many. Not only Keda, but everyone in the Hong Kong police force, from the commissioner to the patrol officer, was alarmed by this sudden news.
Richard Couch is not just any ordinary police officer, but a true Eagle Country aristocrat. His background and status give him significant influence within the police force. If it weren't for Hong Kong's impending return to the motherland, he would likely be the default choice for the next Commissioner.
When would he be promoted to Deputy Commissioner? The answer to this question seems entirely dependent on the retirement of Li Shutang's senior police officers. After all, how could such a high-ranking and powerful officer, with five servants caring for him, suddenly die unexpectedly? Furthermore, he fell to his death from the second floor of his own villa!
The second floor—what kind of height is that? At this height, if someone didn't fall on their head, they wouldn't be killed, and even their legs wouldn't be injured. However, the truth was so bizarre that this senior official fell from the second floor inexplicably and died.
Even more incredible is that last night, the first night Wah Di was detained, five people had already died unexpectedly in the same way. These five people plus Richard tonight, a total of six people, died in exactly the same way, which really makes people suspicious.
However, when the police, especially Richard's confidant, personally checked the body, they did not find anything suspicious. All the evidence showed that it was a simple accidental death.
To say there are absolutely no doubts would be inaccurate. In fact, the only thing that could be considered suspicious is that there were eyewitnesses at the scene of each of the six deaths, and these witnesses claimed to have seen someone who looked like Wah Di at the scene. Unfortunately, none of these witnesses saw the deaths themselves, so this cannot be considered definitive evidence. Nevertheless, it is at least a clue, albeit a very weak one.
Because of this, those people, especially the current Governor, are paying particular attention to this matter. The reason is simple: these six people who died unexpectedly were actually pawns used by the Eagle Kingdom to secretly control Hong Kong after its return to China. In other words, they are the Eagle Kingdom's key hidden pawns in Hong Kong. Therefore, even the slightest clue will be seized upon by these people, and they will do everything they can to exploit it in order to uncover the true culprit behind the six deaths. It is for this reason that they are so concerned about whether Hua Di is truly in the ICAC.
At this time, the Governor's Mansion was like a city that never sleeps, with brilliant lights, as bright as day. However, these bright lights could not mask the anxiety and uneasiness in the hearts of the people.
Most of the high-ranking officials of the Hong Kong government gathered here, like ants on a hot pan. Normally, they held high positions of power, influential and influential, but now they were all anxious and restless. They paced the halls of the Governor's Mansion or whispered in the corridors, each face filled with worry and anxiety.
In the Governor's Mansion's conference room, an emergency meeting was underway. Only qualified officials were allowed to enter the meeting room, while others could only wait anxiously outside.
Upon hearing this news, Kida was devastated. He had never imagined being excluded from this crucial meeting. His position would undoubtedly rank him among the top ten in Hong Kong, and his seniority would put him in the top three. To be so snubbed was undoubtedly a denial of his abilities and a sign that he had fallen out of favor with the powerful.
The more Kida thought about this, the angrier he became. He felt a surge of blood rushing to his heart. Suddenly, his vision went black, he lost his balance, and fell straight down. It turned out that his anger had caused a stroke!
However, the people in the Governor's Office had no time to care about Kida's situation at the moment. All their attention was focused on the six people who died accidentally, and they were eager to find the culprit of this incident.
Before long, the meeting in the conference room concluded smoothly. The attendees rose and filed out of the room in an orderly stream, like a school of fish. Then, they hurriedly left the Governor's Mansion and immediately went about their business carrying out the various tasks assigned to them during the meeting.
Governor Li David, however, did not leave with them. He walked alone, slowly approaching the high-ranking officials who had been waiting outside. These officials were already eager to see the Governor, whispering to each other, eagerly waiting, their faces filled with anticipation.
Seeing this, a servant from the Governor's Mansion hurried forward and handed an exquisite microphone to Li David. Li David took the microphone with a smile and coughed twice into it to attract everyone's attention.
The two coughs seemed to possess a magical power, and the once bustling hall instantly became silent. Everyone stopped talking and turned their gazes to David Li, quietly waiting for him to speak.
"Everyone, please stay calm and don't panic. We have already formulated a response plan. Cheney from the Political Department of the Police Department has temporarily taken over Richard's position. He will do his best to thoroughly investigate the cause of this incident. Please rest assured, as people in the north often say, in the future, our Hong Kong will continue to run and dance as usual. No one will be able to interfere with our plans, and no one will be able to deprive us of our existing power. As the day is about to dawn, there are still many important tasks waiting for everyone to deal with in the morning, so go back first. There is no need to worry about this matter anymore. I solemnly promise you that it will never bring you any negative impact." After Governor David Li finished speaking, he turned and returned to his bedroom.
Seeing this, the rest of the crowd dispersed, feeling relieved, and left the Governor's Mansion. However, just as Governor Li David was lying in bed, preparing to rest for a while, a loud noise suddenly reached his ears. Although the sound seemed far away, if it could be clearly heard from such a distance, it probably meant that a very serious accident had occurred.
Li David's heart tightened, and he quickly got up, called the servants, and ordered them to go and find out what had happened.
Li David did not continue to rest, but came to the hall to wait for the servants to come back with news.
"Governor, something bad has happened. Just now when those officials were leaving the Governor's Mansion, there was a car accident on the road and many people died." The servant who had inquired about the news came back and reported to Governor Li David in a panic.
