HKTV: How is the Great Owl made?

Reynolds looked at these people in confusion, took a puff of cigarette and asked:

"I am Reynolds, who are you?"

His eyes were full of vigilance and confusion, and the smoke swirled in front of him, blurring his expression.

"We are investigators from the Investigation Section 1 of the ICAC Enforcement Division. I am Ye Yuanzhi, the Section Chief!"

Ye Yuanzhi spoke in a loud voice, and looked directly at Reynolds with firm eyes as he revealed his identity.

Several investigators beside him stood quietly with serious expressions, exuding an unquestionable majesty.

"According to the resolution of the Legislative Council, the ICAC will investigate you."

Ye Yuanzhi's tone was steady, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Reynolds' heart hard.

"Your powers as acting director will be suspended during the investigation."

He continued.

Every word was clear and powerful, as if putting an end to Reynolds' power.

"What? The Legislative Council passed a resolution to investigate me?"

Reynolds said incredulously.

His eyes widened, and the cigarette in his hand trembled unconsciously, with ashes falling.

I never expected that the situation would suddenly change so drastically.

He was just bossing around in the conference room, but now he has to face the situation of being investigated.

"Yes, this resolution has been approved by the Governor of Hong Kong." Ye Yuanzhi's answer was concise and straightforward, like a cold verdict. The Governor's approval undoubtedly added an irresistible shackle to this investigation resolution.

"Director Reynolds, please come with us!" Ye Yuanzhi said calmly. His tone was smooth, but it carried an irresistible force.

When Reynolds heard that this was a resolution approved by the last Governor of Hong Kong, Pang, his legs went weak.

His face turned pale instantly, and his upright body seemed to lose its support and was about to fall. The power that he had just held tightly in his hands disappeared like a dream bubble. His heart was filled with fear and despair, and his mind was in chaos. He never expected that he would fall into such a situation. The eyes of the surrounding police officers were cast on him, some were surprised, some were confused, and some were secretly glad. And Reynolds, at this moment, seemed to be abandoned by the whole world. Under the gaze of the ICAC investigators, he could only move his feet mechanically and follow them out of the conference room that once belonged to his power.

If Li Wenbin hadn't held him up, he would have fallen to the ground. Reynolds' legs were weak at this moment, his eyes were full of fear and confusion, and he seemed to have lost his soul.

Li Wenbin smiled and said, "Director Reynolds, you must be careful. It's just an investigation. It's okay." There was a subtle sarcasm in his smile, and the apparent concern actually concealed a deeper meaning.

Reynolds heard what Li Wenbin said, and looked back at Li Wenbin coldly. His eyes seemed to be able to spit fire, full of resentment and unwillingness. After a heavy "snort", he shook off Li Wenbin's hand and forced himself to leave the meeting room.

The ICAC staff hurried to catch up. They walked in unison with serious expressions, following Reynolds closely, as if they were afraid that he would do something extreme.

After several people left the conference room, Li Wenbin felt that his eyes were suddenly clear. He couldn't help but sigh that Reynolds's experience just now was really like shooting himself in the foot! Just a few minutes ago, Reynolds was still in the conference room, relying on his power to boss everyone around, trying to control everything. However, in the blink of an eye, when he was at his most proud, he suddenly fell to the bottom and was taken away by the ICAC for investigation, and his power collapsed instantly.

Then, Li Wenbin and Yang Jinrong looked at each other, and they saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They didn't expect the situation to change so dramatically, and everything seemed like a carefully choreographed drama.

At this moment, Li Wenbin had only one feeling in his heart: a miracle really happened! Originally, they were still worried about Reynolds's relentless pressure, but now, things have turned around and Reynolds has suffered the consequences.

After Reynolds was taken away by ICAC, Li Wenbin was automatically promoted to Acting Commissioner, in charge of all work of the Police Department. This sudden promotion made Li Wenbin feel the transfer of power and the increase of responsibility.

After Li Wenbin officially took over as acting director, Lin Yao's legal team seemed to have received a signal.

Immediately file a review and request the revocation of the arrest warrant against Lin Yao.

Among the reasons they gave, the most important one is the presumption of innocence.

The lawyers spoke righteously and argued their case within the framework of the legal provisions.

It is claimed that there is currently no conclusive evidence to prove Lin Yao's guilt, and according to the rule of law, the arrest warrant should be revoked.

This move undoubtedly created new waves in the already turbulent situation.

This makes the development of the whole incident even more confusing.

Without definite evidence to prove that Lin Yao committed a crime, he cannot be identified as a criminal suspect.

This is the most basic principle in a society ruled by law and the cornerstone of maintaining fairness and justice.

Lin Yao's legal team seized on this point and argued their case accordingly.

They pointed out that in the judicial process, evidence is the key basis for determining whether a person is guilty.

In the absence of conclusive evidence, Lin Yao was identified as a criminal suspect and a warrant was issued.

This is undoubtedly a violation of the dignity of the law.

If he is not a criminal suspect, why is there a warrant for Lin Yao? This question is deafening and goes straight to the core of the problem. The lawyers pointedly emphasized that this practice is obviously unreasonable and seriously violates the fairness and rigor of the judiciary. Therefore, they firmly demanded that the warrant for Lin Yao be revoked immediately and that Lin Yao be given a fair legal environment.

Li Wenbin responded immediately. He knew that under the current situation, he had to comply with the requirements of the law and the pressure of public opinion. He decisively ordered the immediate withdrawal of the arrest warrant for Lin Yao and publicly apologized to Lin Yao for his previous illegal behavior. However, he also proposed that Lin Yao must come to accept the investigation and questioning. This request was not unreasonable, but was based on many considerations.

The main purpose of letting Lin Yao come to be investigated is to shut up the senior "foreign" police officers. There are complex power struggles and conflicts of interest within the police department. Those "foreign" senior police officers have always had their own opinions and interests in Lin Yao's case. If appropriate measures are not taken and they are allowed to talk and accuse behind his back, it may cause more trouble and instability. Li Wenbin needs to use this method to show all parties his attitude of handling the case fairly and stabilize the internal situation.

Now that Li Wenbin is in charge of the Police Department, it can be said that Lin Yao is extremely safe. There may be some subtle relationship between Li Wenbin and Lin Yao, or perhaps Li Wenbin himself adheres to the principle of handling cases fairly. In short, under control, Lin Yao is in a relatively safe environment. Li Wenbin gave Lin Yao a step, and Lin Yao must take it. Lin Yao knows that in this complex situation, accepting Li Wenbin's proposal is the wisest choice, which can not only safeguard his legal rights and interests, but also avoid further trouble.

Lin Yao's lawyers immediately said that Lin Yao would come to be questioned in 45 minutes. This quick response showed that Lin Yao and his lawyers were positive about resolving the matter. However, the lawyers made a request that Lin Yao must be questioned in an open environment. They believed that only in an open and transparent environment could the fairness and legality of the questioning process be ensured, and any possible behind-the-scenes manipulation and unfair treatment be avoided.

Li Wenbin agreed to this request. He understood that meeting the lawyers' request would not only reflect his determination to handle the case fairly, but also help to calm the outside world's doubts and speculations about the incident. At the same time, this was also a respect for Lin Yao's rights and was conducive to maintaining the image and credibility of the Police Department. In this game of power and law, every decision affects the direction of the incident, and public inquiry will undoubtedly become an important step in uncovering the truth and calming the storm.

Lin Yao's lawyers made this request with careful consideration. They knew that under the complex situation and possible prejudice, only under the witness of the public could they ensure that Lin Yao would be investigated and questioned fairly to the greatest extent, and then completely clear Lin Yao of the false suspicion of crime. And the period when Li Wenbin was in charge of the Police Department was undoubtedly the best time for them. Li Wenbin had just taken office and needed to establish an image of fairness and justice. He was also more likely to handle the matter with a fair attitude, which provided favorable conditions for Lin Yao to obtain a fair result.

Soon, reporters from Hong Kong Island, who were known for their speed, swarmed in. In Hong Kong Island, where information circulates quickly and the nose for news is sharp, Lin Yao's public acceptance of the police investigation was a sensational piece of news, like a huge magnet that attracted all media. They knew that once such news was reported, it would attract widespread attention from all walks of life, bringing extremely high attention and topicality, and they would never miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Li Wenbin obviously also realized the influence of this incident. He specially ordered people to make careful arrangements in the hall where the media interviewed him. In order to show fairness and justice, he spent a lot of time and effort in selecting the interviewers. Among the three interviewers finally determined, one was from Hong Kong Island, one was a foreigner, and the other was a policeman from India. His seemingly random selection of personnel actually had hidden secrets. He deliberately let the foreigners make up the majority of the interviewers. In this way, from the outside world's perspective, the entire investigation and questioning process would be more like a fair review under a diverse background, and the results would appear more convincing, as if they were verified by people from different cultural backgrounds and different positions, thereby reducing possible doubts about the investigation results from the outside world.

This Hong Konger is an old acquaintance of Lin Yao. He is the most popular policeman in Hong Kong, Ma Jun. Ma Jun is known in the police world for his vigorous and upright conduct. His participation adds a local flavor and credibility to this inquiry. The foreigner who is doing the inquiry is Howard, the assistant director of the Intelligence Department. With his rich experience and expertise in the field of intelligence, Howard brings an international perspective and professional intelligence analysis capabilities to the inquiry process. As for the policeman from India, he is Galawa, the chief of the Logistics Department. Although Galawa is from the logistics department, he has a deep understanding of all aspects of police work. His unique perspective and way of thinking may also bring different ideas to this inquiry.

As the personnel from all parties took their positions, the media reporters set up their cameras and the whole hall was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere. Everyone was waiting for the official start of this highly anticipated public investigation and questioning, wanting to see whether the mystery of Lin Yao could be solved under the public's gaze, and in what direction the incident would develop.

Before the interrogation, Li Wenbin did not say hello to Ma Jun. He knew that a truly fair and just interrogation environment would be the best "protection" for Lin Yao. Because he firmly believed that if the interrogation was conducted in a purely fair environment, judging from his understanding of Lin Yao and the clues he had previously obtained, there was no real problem with Lin Yao at all. The so-called "crimes" that Lin Yao faced in the past were nothing more than deliberate frame-ups by the foreigners for some ulterior motives.

Li Wenbin knew that he didn't need to interfere with the questioning process. All he had to do was to provide Lin Yao with a fair competition environment. In this police system full of intrigues and calculations, he hoped to give Lin Yao justice in his own way, and at the same time make his position clear to those forces that secretly manipulated the situation.

Forty minutes passed quickly. Amid the expectation of everyone, Lin Yao slowly walked into the media interview hall of the Police Department. He walked steadily and calmly, as if he was confident about the upcoming questioning. Following him was Sandy, a beautiful barrister from Hong Kong Island. Sandy was well-known in the legal community of Hong Kong Island for her sharp words and superb defense skills. Her appearance undoubtedly gave Lin Yao more confidence to win the case.

As soon as Lin Yao entered the hall, he attracted everyone's attention. Now, most people in Hong Kong know that Lin Yao is the boss of Tianyao Fund. In that thrilling financial contest with Quantum Fund, it was Tianyao Fund that successfully drove away Quantum Fund with its excellent strategy and tenacious struggle, and protected the financial stability of Hong Kong like a solid shield.

Lin Yao's status in the hearts of Hong Kong people is different now. He is no longer just an ordinary businessman, and is no longer simply labeled as a "gang boss". In the eyes of many citizens, he is a hero who turned the tide and a hero who protected Hong Kong. Lin Yao is now, if not a national idol, at least a respected national hero.

At this time, he had basically gotten rid of the label of "gang boss" that had been with him in Hong Kong Island. When citizens mentioned Lin Yao, they would respectfully address him as "Mr. Lin". The reporters from the media were also Hong Kong Islanders, and were deeply influenced by this atmosphere, so they naturally respected Lin Yao.
