Hong Kong Island Old Events

Chapter 482 Sentence the Governor first and then me

"The police team has completed collecting evidence and will prosecute Lei Luo in court." Ji Da got the latest report and sat in the waiting area of ​​the Governor's Mansion. When MacLehose came back from the meeting, he immediately walked in and reported: "It looks like He Dingxian is destined to push Lei Luo as a scapegoat."

"You can see it from that article." MacLehose spoke calmly, as if he had expected it. He sat down on the office chair with a portrait of the Queen behind him.

The young Elizabeth wears a diamond tiara, holds a white fan, and wears a pure white dress. She sits on the golden throne, showing her youthfulness, grace, and graceful figure.

Every time Jida came to the governor's office, she couldn't help but glance at the portrait.

MacLehose was wearing a suit, crossed his legs, lit a cigar, and said in an orderly manner: "Let Lei Luo take care of everything by himself, won't Lei Luo's people be afraid of being implicated and feel dissatisfied?"

"definitely will."

Ji Da said confidently: "Lei Luo has served in Kowloon District for more than ten years. He has many gang members and forms his own group."

"Zeng Shaoke alone is still working as the chief detective in the New Territories. He has more than 400 people under his command. In addition to the five or six police stations in Kowloon, he has at least more than 600 people under his control. Although most of them are in military uniforms and criminal police There are departments such as the team, but in terms of manpower, we definitely have it.”

MacLehose nodded: "I gave He Dingxian two ways to go. Whichever way he chooses, there will be a way to deal with him."

"He is desperate to push Lei Luo out. In the end, he is still afraid. The more scared he is, the more we will fight! Let the deputy management director of the police force, Skemin, take more action and buy off Lei Luo's people first. Then We are not afraid of riots in the police force."

"You can tell them that if you want to serve the Hong Kong government now, you can apply for amnesty for them in the future and keep your position and all assets."

Jida stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, sir!"

MacLehose was not afraid that He Dingxian would blame Lei Luo for everything, because everything had a price, and Lei Luo would have to bear the backlash. There would be an opportunity to recruit a group of people and fight a group of people, and then the police force would be divided. There is also enough force in hand to use.

What he wanted was never to defeat the police force, but to defeat nationalism in the police force and destroy the Chinese influence.

Create a force that obeys orders and works for the Hong Kong government.

As for the fact that the Community Relations Office was late and allowed the police to overtake, MacLehose was somewhat dissatisfied. After all, there was a big difference between Lei Luo falling into the hands of the police and the Hong Kong government. Now they can't even intervene in the investigation. Get started.

However, he did not hold Ji Da accountable, but encouraged him: "Just taking this opportunity, I will propose the establishment of the Anti-Corruption Office at the Legislative Council. I believe that all sectors of society will not be able to oppose it. You will be the first anti-corruption office." Corrupt Commissioner.”

"Thank you, sir!" Jida was so excited that she stood at attention, saluted, and thanked her loudly.

MacLehose smiled gently: "At the same time, it will be clearly stipulated that the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance and the Electoral Fraud Ordinance will be the responsibility of the Anti-Corruption Office. Once the division of powers of the Office is clear, there will be no need to worry about the police using the Anti-Corruption Office for manipulation."

Because the Community Relations Department was not part of the law enforcement department before and was not directly responsible for the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance, the Anti-Corruption Office could use the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance to intervene. Once a department at the public office level is established, the Anti-Corruption Office will lose its excuse.

Although the Anti-Corruption Ordinance still includes investigations into commercial crimes and disciplinary force personnel, it does not include investigations into public officials. This allows the Hong Kong government and the Anti-Corruption Office to remain invincible. As the saying goes, I can investigate but you cannot. If you can investigate, I will investigate too!

As long as the Anti-Corruption Commission can find evidence of the Anti-Corruption Office's crimes, it will naturally be able to abolish the Anti-Corruption Office's powers and have exclusive investigation power over Hong Kong!

Half a month later.

Hong Kong Island Court of Final Appeal,

The 500 million Detective Inspector Lei Luo case was heard in public. Nearly 200 luminaries and journalists from all walks of life were present to witness the arrest of Hong Kong's largest corruption offender.

Lei Luo did not hire a defense lawyer. He questioned the British justice in court and sneered into the microphone: "Judge, do you charge money?"

The justice was wearing a red robe, with an angry face and banging his gavel.

Da da da!

"The defendant is requested not to ask questions that have nothing to do with the case."

Lei Luo was wearing a suit, his hands were cuffed, but he pointed his finger in the sky and shouted: "I swear to the lights, I wanted to be a good policeman the first day I was admitted to the police academy. I didn't get a penny in the first year of employment. !”

"But I don't collect money, my colleagues look down on me, my superiors look down on me, and even my fellow villagers in the housing estate look down on me! Everyone calls me a fool. I don't dare to collect money even if I have money. I have no future! Then I decided to collect money. Those who receive the most will be greedy if they want to be greedy!”

"After I started collecting money, my official career was prosperous. I was promoted to the third level in one year. Both the black and white people obeyed me. Why? Because in society, not only the black people collect money, but also the white people. The Chinese and the ghosts also collect money. Money, at least I collect money and do things for them. With me, Lei Luo, I don’t have to pay twice for a store. I will solve all the troubles that can be solved for them. In the past, I had to rely on fighting and killing to solve the problems. Just sit down and have a cup of tea to settle it.”

"quiet!"

"Quiet!" The justice was furious and banged his gavel repeatedly.

The lights flashed and the reporter took a quick note.

Lei Luo cursed: "The money empire was not built by me alone. It was built brick by brick by all the citizens of Hong Kong and erected by handfuls of sand!"

"It's the Governor!"

"It's you ghosts! If you don't help us, we can only form a gang to protect ourselves! Now they want to arrest me, but I don't accept it. I'm just a police superintendent, a little superintendent. The governor will be sentenced first and then I will be sentenced!"

The chief judge was already anxious, stood up and yelled: "Bailiff!"

"Bailiff!"

"Drag him down."

Two military uniforms immediately rushed up and dragged Lei Luo, who was blaming the sky and the ground, out of the courtroom.

Then the judge adjourned the court for half an hour. After another half an hour, the judge went to court alone to pronounce the verdict. He was sentenced to life imprisonment and all illegal assets were confiscated for seven crimes including corruption and bribery, abuse of power, and suspected injury.

Historically, Lei Luo escaped from Hong Kong Island before the ICAC launched an investigation, which caused an uproar. It was not that there was anything unusual about his escape, but that Lei Luo was too famous on Hong Kong Island. In this matter, Lei Luo was sentenced to life imprisonment in the Court of Final Appeal, which set off a storm of public opinion on Hong Kong Island.

Some citizens applauded Lei Luo's arrest, and some people felt sad after seeing Lei Luo's speech in the newspaper. They felt that corruption in the police force was not the fault of one person, but was caused by the entire social system. The Hong Kong government originally played an upright role in the case, but suddenly it came under attack, leaving the Colonial Secretary in a state of disarray.

Bai Liji would definitely have a headache if faced with this turmoil, which is why Bai Liji did not dare to take action during his tenure. But MacLehose had only been in office for a few months, so he was traveling lightly, and no one could scold him no matter how hard he was scolded.

After MacLehose once again expressed his determination to fight corruption to the public, his performance in power has become more anticipated by the public.

Two months later.

Legislation officially passed the Independent Commission Against Corruption Ordinance, approving the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. The department that had been waiting to be launched finally came into being, two and a half years earlier than in history. It can be seen that history is a process of dynamic development. When the Chinese in the police force become more powerful, the ghosts will respond more positively.

Ji Da was appointed as Hong Kong's first anti-corruption commissioner, reporting directly to the Governor. The Community Relations Department was transformed into a first-level department under the ICAC. The investigation team and execution team were upgraded to first-level departments and changed to the Investigation Division and Enforcement Division.

A new Corruption Prevention Department will be established, and the Equipment Department, Human Resources Department, etc. will be replenished.

All ICAC budgets are earmarked by the Government-General, and the new department plans to recruit 200 more people, mainly to supplement the staff shortages in the Enforcement Division and Investigation Division.

Yan Guoliang and Han Zhibang were promoted to investigation directors, Jiang Yichong was promoted to senior investigator, and Lu Dingtang, Wei Liqin and other senior police officers transferred from their ancestral families were transferred to senior investigation directors of the Enforcement Division and Investigation Division.

Ji Da's close subordinate Ou Liangxian is the chief investigation director and the number two figure of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Many of the first batch of executive team members have been promoted, the establishment has been expanded, and there are more positions. The status of the old members has naturally increased.

Kowloon.

Typhoon shelter.

Ni Kun, Lard Zai, Chen Xijiu and others all held packages in their hands and moved them one by one from the car to the boat.

More than 30 plainclothes police officers, with guns in hand, were patrolling back and forth at the entrance of the pier. Some members of the community were looming on the fishing boats. He Dingxian, Zeng Shaoke, Cai Zhaoguang, and Lei Luo looked handsome and handsome with their bangs fluttering in the sea breeze.

Lei Luo smoked the smoke and said: "The Independent Commission Against Corruption has really been established."

"ICAC."

"Ha." Cai Zhaoguang chuckled, read out his English name, and said in a disdainful tone: "I have sent people to contact some of the new recruits from the ICAC to see if they come to Hong Kong Island to make money."

Zeng Shaoke smiled with a smile on his face: "Thousands of miles across the ocean, living in two places with my wife and children, not just to make money, but also to get promoted. It can't be to serve the Queen, right?"

"Will the Queen sleep with him?"

Cai Zhaoguang, with a stubble on his face, sneered and said, "What a nonsense!"

He Dingxian shook his head and couldn't help but interrupt: "Okay, I'm here to see A Luo off today, so don't mention any official matters."

Lei Luo echoed: "Yes."

"Don't always talk about sleeping with the queen. It makes me feel itchy. I'll be careful of you sleeping with me."

At this time Ni Kun stepped forward and said: "Big boss, the boat has been packed up."

"Brother Luo."

Chen Xijiu came to Lei Luo.

Lei Luo patted him on the shoulder and said: "Although you are the least capable of all the detectives under my command, I like you the most. Live a good life in Hong Kong Island and don't let down your wives at home and don't let down Detective Hua." long position.”

"I know, Brother Luo." Chen Xijiu lowered his head with a sad expression.

In fact, when he heard someone laughing at him for collecting worn-out shoes, he would secretly blame the boss, but the boss gave him too much. Seeing that the boss was leaving and feeling like he had lost his backbone, he felt anxious and reluctant to leave. Lei Luo raised his eyes again and looked at the three brothers He Dingxian, Cai Zhaoguang, and Zeng Shaoke, and sighed: "Everyone, take care!"

"I can only accompany you here."

"Arlo, please be safe on the road." Zeng Shaoke said with emotion: "Remember to call when you go to Canada."

"Put your passport away."

He Dingxian thrust a document into his arms: "Be careful."

"gone!"

Lei Luo took the passport, turned and walked towards the fishing boat, suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Goodbye!"

"Hong Kong Island!"

The brothers at the dock all leaned down, bowed and shouted: "Goodbye, Brother Luo!"
