Chapter 529: When the Water is Shallow, There Are Many Turtles

At this moment, inside the West Kowloon Police Station.

After bandaging his wounds slightly, Lv Mingzhe returned to his office with a gloomy expression.

A hostage being killed by bandits right in front of him was an unacceptable reality for any qualified Police Constable.

Although he knew who the perpetrators were, he lacked any evidence whatsoever and simply could not convict them.

Even though he always kept the phrase "rules are rules" on his lips, when he was alone, Lv Mingzhe had wanted several times to just go over there and shoot the bastard Cao Nan dead.

Inside the office at this time, the Police Constables under his command were all screening this group of bandits.

They were trying to identify the individuals through the many closed-circuit televisions in the room.

But after searching for a long time, they only found two of the robbers.

One was controlled by the Police, and the other had escaped.

As for the mastermind Cao Nan, they hadn't even caught a glimpse of his shadow.

Lv Mingzhe sat in his office for a while, then picked up Cao Nan's photo and walked into the office area for the Police Constables.

Seeing Lv Mingzhe approach, the Police Constables stood up one after another to greet him.

After all, in this day and age, the educational requirements for Police Constables were getting higher and higher, and they no longer had the same drive as before.

Having a superior who led from the front instead of hiding in a car was already a very rare thing.

The Police Constables under his command all respected Lv Mingzhe very much.

Lv Mingzhe waved his hand, then posted Cao Nan's photo on the blackboard: "Cao Nan, suspected of five robberies, taken to court twice! Once the witness lost their memory, once the witness was hit by a car and died! He even deliberately countersued us!"

"Everyone listen up, I want this person, this look, in this car! I want evidence, evidence that can stand up in court! Understand?"

Hearing Lv Mingzhe's words, everyone became busy again.

Just at this moment, a knock on the door suddenly rang out.

Lv Mingzhe opened the door to the office area and saw an unexpected figure.

This person was Cao Nan! Lv Mingzhe did not expect that this bastard would actually dare to come to the door to provoke him, and his eyes immediately turned sharp.

Cao Nan smiled and said: "Sorry to bother you, I was running errands on the street and happened to pick this up! I don't know which officer dropped it."

As he spoke, Cao Nan held up the police warrant card in his hand.

And this Police Constable was one of those who had previously engaged in a firefight with the bandits!

This guy had deliberately brought the ID over just to provoke Lv Mingzhe.

"Thanks!" Lv Mingzhe suppressed his anger and thanked Cao Nan.

Cao Nan pushed his luck and said: "This is the duty we good citizens should fulfill."

However, when he looked at the other Police Constables of the Serious Crimes Unit and discovered they each held a mugshot of him, he immediately said: "I didn't expect I was so famous here!"

"Quite famous!" Lv Mingzhe also started to laugh.

Cao Nan nodded: "It's really hard work for you, being an officer isn't easy!"

After finishing, he even smugly said to the Police Constables of the Serious Crimes Unit: "Keep it up! Hard work, bye-bye!"

Watching Cao Nan's departing back, Lv Mingzhe's expression immediately turned gloomy.

The next morning, at a tea Restaurant.

Chen Jiajun was enjoying his morning tea while reading the newspaper.

A moment later, Li Wenbin appeared in the tea Restaurant.

Looking at Li Wenbin, who had already grown a beard, Chen Jiajun said with some amusement: "You're a father now, you've even started growing a beard! When are you planning to get married?"

Li Wenbin shook his head and said: "I guess I'll have to wait until I'm done being busy with this current period!"

Chen Jiajun asked curiously: "What are you busy with lately?"

"The matter of the South Asians; there are more and more undocumented South Asians, and these people have started getting involved in the underworld, fighting for territory with the local Hong Kong gangsters all day long, and both sides are fighting fiercely!" Li Wenbin shook his head and said: "My men are as busy as donkeys, complaining to me non-stop!"

Chen Jiajun nodded: "Frontline Police are indeed quite hardworking."

Li Wenbin sighed and said: "I originally thought that after Huang Yuanbin got lost, things inside the Police would improve, but I didn't expect it to be the same old story!"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said: "Did you get blocked on your promotion to Senior Superintendent again?"

"It's not just about the promotion." Li Wenbin clenched his fists and said: "Some people just like to drag their feet behind the scenes, which has caused us to fail to bring suspects to court several times!"

Chen Jiajun said indifferently: "Who knows how many nails the England Gweilo have buried inside the Police; this kind of thing is normal. But fortunately, after the establishment of the forty-three bureaus, your Police are under the jurisdiction of the Security Bureau, so at least they don't dare to go too far; as for other things, you'll have to rely on yourself!"

After all, since the handover, there were some things that were not very convenient for Chen Jiajun to do.

Li Wenbin nodded, his eyes firm as he said: "I will persist!"

"Hmm, let's not talk about that, how is the matter I asked you to investigate going?" Chen Jiajun asked.

Li Wenbin took out a file and handed it to Chen Jiajun, saying: "The person you said robbed the armored car is very likely this guy! Cao Nan!"

Chen Jiajun opened the file bag, and Cao Nan's photo immediately appeared before his eyes.

Li Wenbin continued to introduce: "This guy has been very arrogant lately; he is the mastermind behind several robberies! The Police have caught this guy several times, but he was acquitted every time due to insufficient evidence or witnesses disappearing after going to court!"

"However, this guy is already on the record with the Police! The colleagues at the West Kowloon Police Station are currently watching him! But for now, they can't do anything about him!"

"I heard that after this guy robbed the armored car, he even deliberately sent the police warrant card dropped at the scene to the Police Station; the colleagues in the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit are furious!" "Understandable!" Chen Jiajun nodded, his eyes sharp as he said: "You Police need evidence to handle cases! But while you Police need it, I don't! I swept through the Hong Kong gangs once before, doing it again wouldn't be a problem!"

Cao Nan was daring; after provoking the Police, he prepared to continue robbing.

It was just that this time, after the Police had an informant, they quickly locked onto the location where Cao Nan and his group were hiding.

Lv Mingzhe equipped himself with enough firepower, preparing to raid their stronghold.

It was just that Cao Nan was cunning enough; he had long since installed surveillance cameras inside the building.

After the Police entered the building, they were immediately discovered.

The result was that both sides engaged in another intense firefight.

This time, Cao Nan even used explosives, directly causing heavy losses to the Serious Crimes Unit.

However, the Serious Crimes Unit was not without any gains.

At the very least, they caught an accomplice of Cao Nan.

The robber who appeared last time was directly finished off by Cao Nan and his body was abandoned in the wilderness.

But this time, the Police caught a live one.

That very day, Lv Mingzhe conducted a surprise interrogation of this robber and managed to extract results.

Therefore, after coming out of the Interrogation Room, Lv Mingzhe was suddenly energized and said to his subordinates: "Prepare to make an arrest!"

This was the most significant breakthrough Lv Mingzhe had made in the case against Cao Nan in a long time.

So, without thinking much about it, he went straight to Cao Nan's company.

After finding Cao Nan's employee downstairs and confirming that this guy was still at the company, they immediately went up to prepare for the arrest.

"Mr. Cao, these police officers..."

Before the Secretary could finish her sentence, Lv Mingzhe's deputy said directly: "Mr. Cao, we have reason to believe that you are involved in a case of armed robbery, murder, and several other cases of attempted murder. Please come back with us to assist in the investigation!"

At this moment, Cao Nan was practicing calligraphy. Hearing the words of Lv Mingzhe's deputy, he took out his mobile phone and said: "Wait a moment, two minutes!"

Since the person was already here, Lv Mingzhe was not in a hurry.

While sending a text message, Cao Nan said to the several Police: "Officers, long time no see!"

The deputy said coldly: "That's not right, we just saw each other! However, you just like to cover your face! Calling a Lawyer? Find a top-tier one!"

"A Lawyer?" Cao Nan said contemptuously: "People are not to be trusted! When I was a soldier, my company commander told me he only trusted his gun! When doing business, my business partners said, just trust money! Now that I'm a thief, my friends say, you have to trust the law!"

"Because the law only cares about evidence. Like us good citizens who abide by the law, the law has no choice but to protect me!"

As he spoke, Cao Nan pointed to the calligraphy he had written and said to Lv Mingzhe: "I give these four characters to you. When you die, hang them in your mourning hall so that everyone can see them. You only have these four characters in your life, 'Abiding by the Law', how glorious that is!"

Just as Cao Nan was sneering and provoking Lv Mingzhe, Lv Mingzhe's deputy suddenly received a text message.

Upon seeing the text message, his expression changed instantly.

And Lv Mingzhe said coldly to Cao Nan: "Time is up. You can remain silent, but anything you say will be used as evidence in court!"

Cao Nan, however, said to Lv Mingzhe unhurriedly: "Don't be in a hurry, he definitely has something to tell you!"

As he spoke, Cao Nan fixed his gaze on the deputy beside Lv Mingzhe.

The deputy said a few words to Lv Mingzhe with an ugly expression, and Lv Mingzhe's face also turned dark.

After a moment of silence, Lv Mingzhe said to Cao Nan: "Sorry to have bothered you!"

Cao Nan waved his hand in an extremely magnanimous manner and said: "Don't be polite, come by often if you have time!"

Lv Mingzhe paused his steps, suppressed his anger, and turned to leave.

After Lv Mingzhe and his party returned to the Police Station, the deputy said to a female Police Constable with extreme annoyance: "What exactly happened? Explain it clearly!"

The female Police Constable said helplessly: "Blind Dragon insisted on calling his hometown, saying he would only sign the confession after speaking with his wife. After he finished the call, we ordered takeout for him, and suddenly he swallowed the evidence and then jumped off the building!"

"Why did you let him make a call?" the deputy said with a frown.

The Police prosecutor said with a speechless expression: "In Hong Kong, everything has to talk about human rights!"

The deputy was helpless and could only turn to another piece of evidence: "Fu Ning Building, surveillance records?"

"Those buildings are about to be demolished. It's just for show; no discs, no hard drives!" another Police Constable said helplessly.

Then the Police Constable who went to investigate Tao Chengbang also walked in: "Checked it, Tao Chengbang, the one who drove the car to hit the boss, has an alibi!"

"So, Cao Nan got away with it again?" the deputy said with extreme unwillingness.

But facing the current situation, everyone present had no solution.

"When the mountain is low, monkeys climb; when the water is shallow, turtles jump!"

Seeing the information sent by his subordinate, Chen Jiajun snorted coldly and said unhappily.

It was not as if Chen Jiajun had never seen people use legal loopholes to absolve themselves of crimes.

Even that Lawyer Du Housheng who had fallen into obsession was eventually caught.

Most importantly, this guy seemed to be specifically targeting him, according to multiple tips from the Police.

Among their operational targets, Chen Jiajun's businesses were all included.

If Chen Jiajun didn't give a response, others would think that he, the "Hong Kong King", was no longer capable! (End of chapter)
