"I would like to say that I am a rich second generation, so that I can win. It's just a pity that my father is a policeman and my grandfather is also a policeman. I didn't leave much legacy, so I can only struggle on my own.
As for whether what I said is true or false, just go and investigate. I won money at the Lisboa Casino. There must be a record. You don't think they will perjury on my behalf. "Lei Weidong smiled.
"Sir, here are the coffee, drinks, cakes and ham you ordered." After receiving a tip of several dozen yuan from Lei Weidong, the girl acted as a waiter and brought up the food Lei Weidong ordered.
"Thank you!" Lei Weidong nodded towards the girl and motioned for her to avoid it.
"You two, let's eat together. I'll treat you to this meal. If you don't have enough, please order more."
The chefs in the cafe are really good. As soon as the cakes and hams are served, the aroma whets the appetite of Lei Weidong and others. A Mei, who hasn't eaten all morning, is so hungry that her back is covered with saliva.
But seeing Han Zhibang not speaking, he was embarrassed to reach out and could only endure it.
Compared with Ami, Han Zhibang, who had been severely beaten in the police station, deeply hated police corruption. Faced with Lei Weidong's kindness, Han Zhibang said righteously:
"Thank you for your kindness. It's just that we, the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, cannot eat anything that comes from corruption."
"If you don't eat what comes from corruption, Miss Amei can still say that, and you, Han Zhibang." Lei Weidong shrugged, "You are Lao Yang's nephew, right?"
"Yes." Han Zhibang nodded, "If it weren't for my uncle, I might have been beaten to death by the police station."
Regarding what happened to the police station, Han Zhibang could not accept it for the rest of his life. Living in an ivory tower, he never imagined that the world could be so dark.
To blatantly pull people from the street to make false accusations, it's really...
It can only be said that Huo Qilin went too far in what he did. Pulling innocent people into false cases is something that only occurs in troubled times, just like Ning Caichen in A Chinese Ghost Story 2 was framed and imprisoned.
Doing such a thing in peaceful times, no wonder even Lei Luo looks down on it.
Let’s put it this way, the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption was not only due to the people of Eagle Country wanting to take back power and Citigroup exerting pressure from outside, but also because the citizens of Xiangjiang could not stand the darkness of the police, and several parties worked together to promote its establishment.
"I heard that when you were in school, Lao Yangtou often helped you?" Lei Weidong asked.
"Yes, if it weren't for my uncle, I wouldn't even be able to go to college." Han Zhibang nodded.
"That's it." Lei Weidong slammed the table and whispered, "You have never thought that Lao Yang's money came from corruption."
"How is it possible? How could a person as upright as my uncle be corrupt?" Han Zhibang didn't believe Lei Weidong's words. "
"Lao Yang will definitely not do such a thing as collecting black money, but he must have collected the fees, otherwise how would he have the money to help you." Lei Weidong said in a low voice, "You should know how much a police officer's salary is.
It only costs 300 yuan a month when you first join the job. Senior police officers like Lao Yang who have worked for decades only earn 500 to 600 yuan a month.
How much are prices and rents now? Your Independent Commission Against Corruption gets a salary of six to seven thousand a month and you don't feel any pressure when you get subsidies, but the police can't.
A single person cannot afford a salary of several hundred yuan, let alone support a family.
If you don’t want your family to drink from the northwest wind, you can only find ways to make money. Why are the police department and even the governor acquiescing in the fees? Because everyone knows that ordinary police officers cannot even sustain their lives if they pay fees.
Just like the Ming Dynasty.
During the Hongwu period, in order to prevent officials from corruption, the powerful Zhu Yuanzhang directly set an iron law of sixty-two deaths for corruption, and even skinned and stripped corrupt officials.
Why couldn't the later emperors turn a blind eye to corruption?
That's because during the Hongwu period, officials' salaries could be paid in real terms. Although the salary set by Zhu Yuanzhang was not high, it was enough for everyone to barely make ends meet.
Later it became impossible, especially after the capital was moved.
The Ming Dynasty, which left the land of plenty and plenty, did not have enough rice and salary, so they could only give out money. Even later, when the money was not enough, they could only give out gifts and banknotes.
Spices, clothing, silk, everything was discounted in the Ming Dynasty's salary, without considering the actual value of the items. Among them, discounting banknotes was the worst.
Sometimes it’s even discounted to 80%.
This banknote was not the current Hong Kong dollar. One thousand yuan was enough for a family to spend. The Ming Dynasty treasure banknote depreciated so fast that people couldn't believe it.
According to the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang, the highest-ranking official can have 87 shi of rice a month. In terms of silver, he can have dozens of taels. However, what is given to the officials is only a few taels of silver and the value is dozens of taels. Treasure money that is not as good as paper butt.
As a result, the income of officials whose salary was not high in the first place was reduced by 70 to 80%. With the remaining salary, officials could not even support themselves.
But what can we do if we can’t make a living? We can only resort to corruption.
Why Bing Jing, Tan Jing and others became unspoken rules is because even the emperor knew that if everything was carried out according to the rules, officials would have no choice but to starve to death.
The corruption of officials in the Ming Dynasty was justifiable and fair.
The same goes for the police. Fees are justified.
Let me give you an example. You must know Gerber. This is the Chief Superintendent and the leading figure in Kowloon District.
How much is his salary?
I have been working as a police officer for 20 years and my salary is less than 900,000 Hong Kong dollars, which means that it is only a little over 40,000 Hong Kong dollars a year. I am definitely higher than ordinary police officers, but compared to your office, the salary of an ordinary commissioner is not even as good.
If the Governor of Hong Kong really wants to curb police corruption, there is no way to rely on an independent ICAC. Even if you arrest detectives like Brother Luo and Gang Lam and fire all police officers who have committed corruption crimes, it is just a formality.
Because newly recruited police officers, promoted sergeants, and detectives will also lead everyone to commit corruption. Without corruption, no one can survive.
Unless the higher authorities can raise everyone's salary, they don't need to be like the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which is seven to eight thousand a month. If ordinary police officers can have three to four thousand to support their families, and cooperate with the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the morale of the police force can be greatly improved. "
"Sir, could you please lower your voice? You are disturbing other guests." Because he was so excited, Lei Weidong's voice inadvertently disturbed many people, and the girl came over to remind him.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I will pay attention to keep the conversation quiet, but." Lei Weidong said happily, "Can you do me a favor?"
"What's the business? Tell me, sir." the girl asked carefully.
"Do you know where this address is?" Lei Weidong handed over the note given by Zhu Luzai.
"I know, it's not far up there. It only takes 20 minutes to walk. That's where my family lives. What were you doing there?" After reading the address on the note, the girl felt that it was a coincidence.
"When I bought a house in the past, my friend said that there was a good house somewhere. There was a newly opened community. The scenery, the layout of the house, and the materials used were top-notch, and the price was not expensive. Buying it now will definitely not be a loss, and it is worth buying." Lei Lei Wei Dong said.
"There is indeed a newly opened high-end community. It seems to be developed by XX Company." The girl nodded, "However, the houses inside are different from what you said. They are so expensive. I can only take a look when I pass by. I can't buy them. rise."
"Expensive is relative. What you think is expensive is compared with the surrounding housing prices. But compared with the previous two years, housing prices have fallen to the bottom. They will only rise but not fall. Now I have to sell even if I borrow money. Can you take me there?" Look, I don’t know the way.”
Lei Weidong looked around. Because it was lunch time and there were many people in the cafe, how could the girl as the cashier leave, so he spoke.
"If you can't leave, just draw me a route map."
"No need to draw a picture, I'll switch classes with someone and take you there later." The girl said.
"Aren't you afraid of changing shifts at this hour?" Lei Weidong asked, pointing to the crowd around him.
"The wages here are not high and the boss is very harsh. I don't think I work part-time here anymore. Besides, you gave me so many tips. It's worth every penny." The girl said calmly,
"Part-time job, are you a student?" Looking at the girl's baby-fat face, Lei Weidong felt more and more like a person.
"I'm a student. I'm in the fourth grade at the beginning of school. I worked during the summer to earn tuition." The girl nodded and said, "Not to mention the hard work here, it only costs 900 yuan a month. Why don't you find something easier and work in a store? Salespeople make more than this.”
"Nine hundred yuan a month is indeed very hard." Lei Weidong nodded and looked at A Mei and Han Zhibang playfully. Look, the students who work in the summer earn more than the police. What do you want the police to do?
"We've been chatting for a long time, but I still don't know your name?"
"My surname is Sha and Lena. Just call me Salena. I am a student of Beliros Girls High School." Salena said with a smile.
"Salena!"
Hearing this familiar name, Lei Weidong was stunned and looked at the girl carefully.
Although she has baby fat and is not completely open, she already has a hint of Aunt Qingxia's peerless appearance.
If you think about the time, Police Story is a story that takes place in the mid-eighties.
It is now 1974, not ten years but eight years from the beginning of the story. She is in fifth grade, sixth grade and seventh grade. Even if she is admitted to college, Salina can still work as Zhu Tao's secretary for a few years.
"Biliros Girls' High School, it is one of the best girls' middle schools. If you become a student there, you have a high chance of getting into college." Concealing his inner excitement, Lei Weidong changed the subject.
"My ideal is to become a college student and escape from my current life." Salina said with a smile, "But in Hong Kong, the competition for college entrance examinations is too fierce, so my confidence is not very high."
"Confidence is cultivated." Lei Weidong pointed at Ami and said with a smile, "This is your senior sister. She just graduated from the University of Hong Kong this year."
"Hello, senior sister."
Salina was very excited when she heard that A Mei was a top student at the University of Hong Kong. She took her arm and asked about things on campus. A Mei felt pity for Salina, a girl who worked to earn tuition at such a young age. Answer all questions and soon they became good sisters.
"May I ask what your name is?" Salena looked at Lei Weidong and said.
"My name is Lei Weidong. I have just joined the Xiangjiang Police. I am an ordinary police officer." Lei Weidong took a sip of Coke and said,
"Stop lying. I know the income of a police officer is not as high as mine. If you are really a police officer, how can you have money to buy a house?" Salina didn't believe Lei Weidong's answer that he was a police officer.
"Unless you are corrupt, but at your age, you can't be greedy even if you want to be greedy. At most, you can have enough food and drink."
"I am not corrupt, and I will never be corrupt in this life." Lei Weidong said proudly, "As for the money, it came from an honest source. I won millions in the casino.
These two are commissioners of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. They can testify to me that my money comes from above board sources. "
