Chapter 345

It is now early April. There is still more than half a month until the first of next month when he takes office in Sham Shui Po, so it is basically a holiday. Of course, even if it is not like this, it is about the same, after all, there is no work. Now, except for collecting dirty money once a week, the rest is to study and solve some old cases.

Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. These people are not fools, not useless except for collecting dirty money and bullying people. There is no perfect crime; if you do it, there will be traces. A group of people with nothing to do, slowly pondering, still have some progress in some hidden murder cases, and there is hope for solving them after a long time.

Wang Yan doesn't need to intervene in these. To tell the truth, he is even more idle than Chen Tong, that old brat. Seeing Chen Tong enter the office, he turned and went downstairs to leave the police station and went to a nearby factory. It is called a factory, but it is actually the same big house as before. It is quite crowded for dozens of people to work inside, and there is also a place for storing goods that takes up a lot of space, a standard small workshop.

"Brother Yan, you're here so early? I was thinking of going to the police station to find you at noon." Pig Oil Boy, with a cigarette in his mouth, swaying and watching people work, saw his big brother coming over and ran up to greet him.

"How come? Did you find someone?"

"According to the information you provided, I had people check a circle, and finally there are seven who meet those conditions."

Wang Yan nodded: "Tell me about it."

"One is the only daughter of Sir Zhou, twenty-two years old... The last one is the daughter of the big boss in Kowloon City, White Rice Fish, Bai Yuechang. She is the same age as you, Brother Yan, both twenty-one." Pig Oil Boy threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it: "Brother Yan, Kowloon is not far from us, I think the one you saw last time might be this Bai Yuechang."

"Do you have a photo?"

"No, but her whereabouts have been figured out. She likes to go to lively places to play, but the places she goes to are relatively high-end. After all, her father is a big boss."

This is a bit of hatred for the rich, Wang Yan said: "Then let's see if this Bai Yuechang is the one I saw last time. Let your people pay close attention to it, don't expose their whereabouts, and tell me the address after knowing where she goes to play."

Pig Oil Boy patted his chest: "Rest assured, Brother Yan, I guarantee you will see that Bai Yuechang tonight."

Pig Oil Boy has ability, especially since he has been working with him recently, and he has brought a group of people from families with difficult conditions in the village to work here, so his prestige is very high. Coupled with the people he has known for so many years, although it is hard to say whether they are reliable or not, the people he can mobilize are there, and they can do anything. And this time looking for a girl, it can be considered reliable for now, not bad.

"Give you another task. You find someone to touch the situation in Sham Shui Po recently. Which bosses are there, how many illegal industries like opium dens, drug dens, gambling dens, etc., do they operate, and how many small forces are there, and what do they operate? What is the relationship between them, and are there any frictions? You must find out all these."

"Alright." Pig Oil Boy asked: "It's just, Brother Yan, I don't quite understand, why are you suddenly asking about the situation in Sham Shui Po?"

"What else could it be? My superior is about to be transferred there as a detective, so he brought me and Ah Luo over. We will be there on the first of next month, so you have to be busy."

"Then this is a promotion, congratulations, Brother Yan."

"Alright, what's there to congratulate. When I sit in the position of detective, that will be a real promotion." Wang Yan patted him on the shoulder: "Hurry up and find out, don't delay."

"No problem, Brother Yan, I'll go and have people inquire." Pig Oil Boy responded and turned to run away to do things.

Life is good now, there is more money, and his status has improved. Pig Oil Boy is developing more and more horizontally. It has only been a few months since the founding of Long Teng Tea Drink, and he has gained at least ten pounds.

Looking at his back, Wang Yan shook his head, and then walked into the workshop to check the work situation.

These old men and women are all from families with difficulties, but their bodies are still strong enough to work, otherwise Pig Oil Boy wouldn't have recruited them here. Their work enthusiasm is quite high, and their hands and feet are quite nimble. They do high-intensity repetitive work very well.

The key is that he gives three dollars a day, ninety a month. This salary is not low, it is at a medium-to-high level. As for the children of these people, they work just as hard, but they don't necessarily earn as much as these old men and women.

Although the work these people do may not be as good as young people, in the case of not much difference, he didn't say anything, so he just fulfilled Pig Oil Boy's wish to be a good person.

He looked at the general situation, cared about the physical health, family conditions, and some difficulties of these old men and women, solved what could be solved, and scolded what should be scolded.

He is already quite good. He has even treated these old men and women when he was idle and in a good mood. He is a proper good boss...

The main reason for coming here this time was to let Pig Oil Boy check the situation in Sham Shui Po. Compared with this, the police are ashamed of their profession, and he doesn't want to be discovered. After all, it is hard to distinguish between friend and foe, and letting the police under him check it gives the other side the first feeling that they are going to deal with them, which is not good.

As for checking the herbal tea production, it was just a casual look.

After looking around at the general situation, Wang Yan strolled back.

Tsz Wan Shan, as the name suggests, has mountains here. Their factory is at the foot of the mountain, so if you don't consider the dirt and mess around you, it actually looks quite good. But obviously, the dirt and mess around you cannot be ignored.

This matter is definitely not his business. The Hong Kong government has a special committee, but when his company develops, he will definitely participate in the governance of Hong Kong's environment. The main thing is that this kind of thing cannot be solved without a lot of money. Environmental issues are a whole system cycle, involving all aspects. If the Hong Kong government doesn't make up its mind and invest heavily, it will be difficult to solve.

Of course, without him, Hong Kong wouldn't be dirty and messy, but it would take some time to develop. It is estimated that in another ten or eight years, most places in Hong Kong and Kowloon will look much better.

Just when he had a cigarette in his mouth, his hands in his pockets, swaying and strolling, and was comparing the present with the future with leisure, a black car slowly stopped in front of him.

Wang Yan stopped, reached out and took the cigarette from his mouth, flicked the ash, and looked at the front faintly.

The car door opened, and a man of medium height with a crew cut, sharp eyes, and a bulging waist got out of the car and walked towards him: "Are you Wang Yan?"

Not caring about his unkind tone, Wang Yan nodded and said faintly: "Who are you?"

"I'm with Yan Ye. Yan Ye has set up a banquet at the restaurant on Prince Edward Road to invite you to dinner. Come with me, don't let Yan Ye wait too long."

He looked at his watch, and it was about time for lunch in a while. Since there was a free meal, he naturally wouldn't refuse, so he nodded, got in the car, and sat in the back seat.

This person who came to pick him up is obviously Yan Tong's confidant, otherwise he wouldn't have such hostility towards him. And maybe his action ability is also good; he thinks he, Wang, is exaggerated and is not convinced. This kind of annoying player should be slapped to the side. However, he wants to eat a free lunch and doesn't want to have too much friction with Yan Tong, so he didn't make a move.

Without a word all the way, it was not far, and soon they arrived at the Xu Ji Restaurant located on Prince Edward Road. This is one of the best restaurants in Kowloon, specializing in Cantonese cuisine, and the consumption is not low, absolutely a high-end place. Although Yan Tong himself often goes to such places, inviting him here today means he is giving him face.

Entering the restaurant, until the large private room at the end of the second floor, he saw Yan Tong, who was wearing a suit, glowing with health, and smoking a cigar, laughing and welcoming him, followed by two subordinates. Looking at his appearance, he is one of those in the "Chasing the Dragon" movie. With his dress, he has a lot of style. Just this appearance alone is three points more imposing than Chen Tong, who is always dressed like an old man.

"Thank you, Brother Wang, for accepting the invitation and giving me, Yan Tong, this face. How is it? Did my subordinates neglect you?"

Wang Yan smiled and shook hands with him: "Who in Hong Kong and Kowloon doesn't know the great name of Officer Yan? You invite me to dinner, and I don't know how many people in Hong Kong and Kowloon are begging for it. Today you invite me to dinner, it's my honor, and I'm really flattered. If this matter goes out, I'm afraid all the Chinese police in Hong Kong will envy me tomorrow. As for neglect, Officer Yan has taught his subordinates well, and everyone is brothers, so how can there be neglect?"

Seeing his low posture, but not feeling any respect in his eyes, face, or the hand they were holding, Yan Tong could feel it. However, he also knew that this kid had a great reputation recently and was capable of fighting, so it was normal for him to be confident.

He laughed and patted Wang Yan on the shoulder: "Alright, you said it yourself, we are all brothers, just eating a meal together, not a formal occasion. You, calling me Officer Yan one by one, is too distant. I am a few years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Yan... Oh, this is not good, it clashes with your Brother Yan. Just call me Brother Tong, and I'll call you Ah Yan, how about that?"

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Then thank you, Brother Tong."

"Good!" Yan Tong laughed and patted Wang Yan on the shoulder: "Come, let me introduce you. This is the detective of Cheung Sha Wan..."

Listening to Yan Tong's introduction, Wang Yan shook hands and greeted them one by one. This shows the gap between Chen Tong and Yan Tong. Chen Tong's subordinates are all plainclothes detectives, while Yan Tong's subordinates, the three people who came to welcome him, are all detectives. How could they possibly compete with him?

And the one who picked him up and was dissatisfied with him is not a detective, but a senior detective, which also shows that this kid is indeed Yan Tong's confidant. Otherwise, how could a senior detective be qualified to sit at a table with four detectives?

Of course, that's what he said, but he was only a detective, and he would only be promoted to detective in the next month. Speaking of which, a senior detective is two levels higher than him, and is also his superior. However, the level of a person is not seen that way, after all, he is the protagonist today.

Yan Tong's purpose in finding him is self-evident, which is to win him over, let him leave Chen Tong, and turn to a wise master. It looks like he was really angered by Chen Tong at the meeting yesterday, and now he is running over to play a trick of drawing the salary from the bottom of the pot and digging the wall.

Everyone met, Yan Tong ordered the dishes, and everyone took their seats.

The good tradition of the Chinese people is there, and the wine table culture is there. They won't talk about business until they are full and drunk. Wang Yan has always been good at chatting, socializing, pretending, and dealing with people. Drinking is also straightforward, and the wine table is naturally harmonious.

Of course, he didn't forget what he came here for, and this restaurant is so famous because it really has a level. The worst dishes are at the LV4 top level, and the big dishes are even at LV5, and not the kind that just entered. The taste is very good. His talking and drinking didn't delay his eating at all, and he even added a few dishes...

Yan Tong glanced at the empty plates on the table, looked at Wang Yan, who was smiling and lighting a cigarette for him opposite, and shook his head: "I don't like smoking cigarettes. If I smoke, I smoke cigars. Here, try this cigar of mine?"

"Thank you, Brother Tong, but I'm not used to smoking that, I'd better smoke my own."

"Ah Yan, your own is good, but someone else's is more fragrant." Yan Tong held the cigar, his face flushed from drinking, and said faintly: "I was the same as you, I liked smoking cigarettes. But later someone told me that cigars are good and gave me a box. Actually, I refused at first, but one day when I had nothing to do, I smoked one, and that feeling is unforgettable to this day. Every time I smoke a cigar, I think of that time, which can be said to be the cigar that changed my destiny. Ah Yan, really don't want to try?"

Wang Yan shook his head and blew out a long smoke: "Brother Tong has something in his words. I am a reckless person and don't understand so many twists and turns. Brother Tong, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

"Playing dumb..." Yan Tong's hand holding the big cigar pointed at Wang Yan with a smile: "Everything you've done, I know. You're not a fool. Actually, when you graduated from the police academy, I also wanted you to work under me. It's just that Chen Tong was faster, and that's why we missed each other. I'm looking for you today, I believe you also know, I want you to work for me, Yan Tong.

Ah Yan, Chen Tong is old, what's good about following him? He was able to sit in the position of detective of Sham Shui Po all because he showed his face a lot during this period. But why was he able to be so outstanding, why did he have so much credit? It's you, Ah Yan, it's all you who helped him do it. As a result? You helped an old man who is about to retire change to a place with abundant profit to collect money, and you are just a small detective, and you have to work yourself to death for Chen Tong.

Your ability is so strong, you can have a broader world and greater achievements. How about coming to me? Look at these three, they were all plainclothes officers under me before, and they all became detectives in recent years. I, Yan Tong, have always been sincere to my brothers. Your future is my future. Why bother to suffer with an old man who is about to die? As for money, Ah Yan, you can have as much as you want..."

Wang Yan looked embarrassed. Until he finished a cigarette, he hesitated and said: "I understand everything Brother Tong said, but Uncle treats me quite well, and I'm only twenty-one this year. My current income is also okay, and I'm quite satisfied... How about this, Brother Tong, give me some time, let me think about it?"

"Damn, giving you face and you don't want it, refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, what kind of thing are you..." Before Yan Tong could speak, the kid who picked up Wang Yan stood up and slapped the table, a good subordinate indeed.

"Shut up! Is it your turn to speak here?" Scolding his indignant subordinate, Yan Tong turned his head and squinted at Wang Yan: "Choice is very important, and it has a great impact on your future path. You really have to think about it carefully. However, Ah Yan, there is a saying, those who know the times are heroes. You are a smart person, I think you won't let me down, right?"

"Thank you, Brother Tong, for your advice, but this matter is too important, I'll think about it carefully." Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Tong, for this meal today. If there are no other instructions, can I go first?"

Yan Tong waved his hand with a smile: "Go, go, can't delay your business..."

Wang Yan stood up and signaled to the others, then turned and left. He could feel the hostility behind him. In the underworld, where can there be no trouble?

Yan Tong said it was okay to think about it, but his words were asking him to express his stance immediately.

He said he would think about it, but didn't express his stance, which is a refusal...

For a Chinese detective who stands in the front row and is infinitely impressive, being willing to lower his status and personally invite a small plainclothes officer is already giving enough face. Not achieving the desired result is a slap in the face. If he doesn't study this kid who doesn't know what's good for him, how can he continue to mix...
