It turns out the police force has two lines!
After Uncle Biao's explanation, Lei Weidong learned that the police force not only had front-line police officers like Uncle Biao and Lei Le, but also Chinese police officers from the Intelligence Division and the Political Department who were directly under the supervision of the Hong Kong Governor or the Ancestor Family.
It is somewhat similar to the difference between police academies and police officer academies in later generations. The starting point of police officers entering these departments is almost equivalent to the end point of front-line police officers.
Lei Le is the so-called leader of the Chinese police. Strictly speaking, he should be the leader of the front-line Chinese police. However, in departments such as the Intelligence Section and the Political Department of the General Administration, there are many Chinese police officers with higher ranks than Lei Le.
Cao Dahua entered the police force as a trainee inspector, and was promoted to the rank of superintendent in 1972. At that time, the money empire was at its peak, and Lei Le was prosperous. In fact, he only had the rank of sergeant. There was a huge difference in police rank between the two. inside.
It's just that the people in the Intelligence Department and the Political Department have high positions and low power. Although they are Gui Lao's cronies, they have little contact with the front line, so they are not known to everyone.
Of course, the rapid rise to power of Cao Dahua and others had a lot to do with Lei Le's death.
After Lei Le's death, the conspiracy broke out, and the evidence of corruption and bribery by the gangsters in the police force was obtained by major newspapers around the world.
For the sake of face, Gui Lao had to clean up the police force. In a short period of time, not to mention high-level officials like the Superintendent, even Inspector Gui Lao had to pack up and go home.
Because there are too many vacant positions, the people of Eagle Country not only transferred people from the mainland and colonies to manage it. The current director came here at that time, but also transferred people from the Political Department, Intelligence Section and other departments to fill the vacancies.
It was at this time that Yu Suqiu came to the position, jumping three levels from inspector to chief inspector, and then became superintendent within a few years, and now has the epaulette of senior superintendent.
Cao Dahua is even more incredible. He was transferred from the Political Department to the Special Police Department and became the Chief Superintendent in a short time. In 1979, he became the first Chinese Assistant Director.
That's not all. According to the intelligence obtained by Lei Weidong, the Governor intends to let Cao Dahua go further and become senior assistant director next year at the latest.
Based on his age, it can be said that deputy commissioner is not the end of the road for Cao Dahua, and he is likely to become the first Chinese police commissioner.
However, because Cao Dahua had such a close relationship with Gui Lao and was from the Political Department, neither Lin Meng nor Huang Bingyao took him into account when calculating the power of the Chinese police, thinking that he belonged to the Gui Lao faction. Yellow skin and white heart.
"Director, Deputy Commissioner of Wan Chai Police Station, Lei Weidong is here to report!" Lei Weidong walked into the conference room, clicked, and stood at attention to salute the four people in the room.
"Sir Lei, the superintendent will be here soon. No need to be so polite. Sit down!"
Deputy Director Charlie smiled and said that although he had nothing to do with Lei Weidong's old superior Lin Meng, he still had to talk about the situation, not to mention that this interview was actually just a process of asking a few questions.
"Thank you, Director!" Lei Weidong thanked him and sat down in his seat.
"Sir Lei, after you came back from Eagle Country, you handled several major cases in a short period of time. Not only did you uncover the Zhu Tao Laundry Detergent Group and the Yao Shi Counterfeit Banknote Group, you also uncovered the Jinsha Villa Robbery and the Cointreau Hotel Jewelry Robbery. Excellent performance in the case.
For a major case like the Galaxy Shopping Mall bombing, the criminal was arrested in less than a day, and he was known as the best detective in the police force. "
After receiving Charlie's signal, Yu Suqiu asked the first question, first praised Lei Weidong and affirmed Lei Weidong's political achievements during this period, and then changed the topic,
"I would like to ask why in this case, the gangsters were either dead or injured. Have you ever considered the human rights of the other party? Why can't you focus on capturing them alive during the operation?"
"Superintendent Yu, I want to make it clear that I absolutely respect human rights, even if the other party is heinous. The reason why the situation you mentioned occurred was due to the circumstances at that time."
Lei Weidong replied slowly,
"I came back from Eagle Country and was in charge of the Central District Police Station's Serious Case Team. I handled all major cases, just like the Sands Villa Jewelry Case. I faced gun-wielding terrorists and there were so many guests at the scene.
During the operation, I couldn't just consider the human rights of the robbers and ignore the guests present. They were all rich or noble. If I was injured. "Speaking of this, Lei Weidong paused and shrugged.
"I can only let my men attack suddenly and kill the robber before he can react, otherwise I will be irresponsible to the guests present. The same is true for the Cointreau Hotel case.
In order to allow the consuls to leave safely, they could only deal with the doctor gang ruthlessly. "
"What about the Galaxy Shopping Mall explosion? As far as I know, there were no hostages at the scene." Yu Suqiu continued to ask.
"People who can blow up shopping malls to extort money are a little abnormal in their minds, because normal people would not think of blowing up shopping malls to extort money. Although there were no hostages at the scene, there were many explosives. This was mentioned in the report.
If an explosion occurs, such a large amount of explosives will cause great harm to the surrounding buildings, not to mention the small building where the gangsters are located, so I can only fight quickly and solve it before they can react.
If the environment permits, I will definitely focus on capturing him alive. For example, when Zhu Tao escaped and three warnings failed, I just wounded him.
Not to mention the counterfeit banknote case, Mr. Yao, Song Zihao and other principal criminals were not even missing a hair when they were caught. "
For police officers like Ma Jun and Chen Jiaju, a human rights issue would make them hopeless for promotion, but for Lei Weidong, this is not even a shortcoming.
Everyone knows that the deputy director will not go to the front line easily. If he does, it will be a major case. At this time, asking him to pay attention to the human rights of the gangsters is disrespectful to the police officers and the hostages. Unlike ordinary police officers who work with small gangsters , dealing with petty theft.
Yu Suqiu just mentioned it. Seeing that Lei Weidong's answer was reasonable and well-founded, Yu Suqiu nodded, indicating that the question was over.
Cao Dahua also asked two small questions. After Lei Weidong answered, he nodded to Charlie to express his approval.
"Jim, what's your problem?" Charlie asked.
"I only have one question, and that is to ask Sir Lei, what is your opinion on the negotiation between the ancestors and the mainland? Do you agree with the return of Xiangjiang or do you disapprove of it?" Looking at Lei Weidong's overly young face, Jim's eyes revealed hatred. .
He knew that the reason why he lost his position as director of the Central District was entirely because of Lei Weidong.
If he hadn't repeatedly solved major cases, Lin Meng would not have crossed the threshold of superintendent in a short period of time. If he hadn't convinced the director and had the support of deputy director Charlie, even if Lin Meng became superintendent, it would not be his own. opponent.
Now, not only is he sitting on the bench in the General Administration, he is about to return to Eagle Country.
In Xiangjiang, even if you sit on the bench, you are still a master. You can use your power to make a small fortune, not a big one. During the holidays, merchants give you shopping cards so that you can eat and drink without worrying about food and drink, and you can also support yourself. A few Xiaomi.
When he returned to Eagle Country, he was just a loser and could only survive on his dead wages.
So he was unwilling to give in and wanted revenge.
But facing Lin Meng, Lei Weidong and others who were in full swing, Jim had no possibility of revenge.
Jim, who originally wanted to leave in despair, unexpectedly came up with an opportunity. He turned out to be the interviewer for Lei Weidong's promotion. Although there must be some evil hand involved, otherwise it would be his turn, but Jim couldn't care less.
He wants to take revenge on Lei Weidong.
Ask a question that is incorrect no matter how you answer it.
If you agree to Xiangjiang's return, then from now until 1997, Lei Weidong will be hostile to the top management of Gui Lao. Although everyone knows that Xiangjiang will definitely return, no one will say it in public before the return. Especially those who work in government departments.
Don't worry about getting promoted. Thank God if you don't end up on the bench. valley
If the answer is no, that's better.
Before 1997, Lei Weidong could be continuously promoted and even reach the position of director, but after 1997, he would have to wait to settle the score.
Whether to choose the present or the future depends on what Lei Weidong thinks.
"Director, do I have to answer this question?" Lei Weidong looked at Charlie and asked.
"Answer it. To be honest, I also want to know what you think." Director Charlie smiled, "Of course, this question has nothing to do with the interview. No matter what your answer is, it means you have passed the interview."
Since Jim is the leader, Charlie will follow the trend and join Lei Weidong's army to let him understand that the people of Xiangjiang still have the final say, and no matter how strong the Chinese are, they will have to lie down.
"Since the director said so, I will say it too!" Lei Weidong shrugged, glanced at the four people sitting there, especially Jim, and said slowly,
"I have no idea about this negotiation. This is not nonsense, because this is a life of eating gutter oil and worrying about Zhongnanhai."
Of course, Lei Weidong couldn't directly answer yes or no to the fatal question. He just wanted to fool a few people first and then talk about it.
"The superintendent is not a small official and belongs to the constitutional level, but in Xiangjiang, he is an extremely small official. There are senior superintendents, chief superintendents, and division chiefs at all levels, and above him there are directors of various departments. and the Governor.
Not to mention in the eyes of the ancestors and the mainland, the superintendent is just a small section chief and is not even qualified to get close.
The negotiation between the ancestral family and the mainland is a matter for the Queen and the Prime Minister to worry about. In the police force, let alone the director, you and even the Hong Kong Governor can't get in the way. Why should I have any ideas? I can just wait for the news from above. "
"Waiting for news from above!" Lei Weidong's answer made Charlie frown, which was equivalent to saying nothing.
"What else can I do except wait for the news? Can I influence the mainland leaders, the queen, and the prime minister? All I can do is take advantage of the current low housing prices to buy more properties and keep them in my hands, and wait for the housing prices to rise after the negotiations are over to make money."
"If you buy real estate at this time, you won't be afraid of confiscation from the mainland." Jim deliberately reminded.
"Wealth is found in danger. If you want to get rich, you have to take risks, and I have enough time to run."
Lei Weidong shrugged and said mysteriously,
"For the sake of everyone being colleagues, I will provide you with free news, that is, no matter what the outcome of the negotiation is, as long as the negotiation ends, house prices will return to the previous price in a very short period of time. If they return, the price will even be higher. Turn it over several times.”
"Can you tell me in more detail why home prices rise faster after returning home?" Seeing that Director Charlie was very interested, Yu Suqiu asked proactively.
"Director, you have not been in Xiangjiang for only a year or two. You should know that most of the properties in Xiangjiang are in the hands of foreign banks. If Xiangjiang returns, foreign banks will definitely want to dispose of these properties.
Ordinary people can't do it. When dealing with real estate, they will only be cut off by others. But it is different for foreign banks. They can cooperate with the government, join forces to push up housing prices in Xiangjiang, and make a fortune before leaving.
Don’t forget, there are still more than ten years before 97, and there is enough time to plan and push up housing prices in Xiangjiang. "
Because there were too many things involved, Lei Weidong couldn't go into details, but he had already made Charlie and others understand, and he was thinking that he would do a good investigation when he went back, and he would really buy a house immediately as Lei Weidong said.
"You are sure that Xiangjiang will return, don't forget Ma Island." Yu Suqiu reminded.
"Return is not certain but certain. Xiangjiang and Madao are two different concepts." Lei Weidong shrugged.
"Although Falklands is more than 10,000 nautical miles away from Eagle Country, which is about the same as Xiangjiang, it is not close to Argentina, a full 500 kilometers away. This distance is further than the mainland from Wanwan. Apart from the navy and air force, Argentina's army cannot count on it at all.
To be precise, the Falklands is a competition between the navies and air forces of the two countries.
Navy, Argentina is not even a younger brother compared to his ancestral family.
Not to mention the Air Force.
Even the few Exocet missiles were purchased and lost after use. As for the Argentine Army, when the Falkland Islands were besieged by the Eagle Country Expeditionary Force, the main force of the Army could only watch helplessly. Losing was inevitable.
The same cannot be said for Xiangjiang, which is only one river away from the mainland. If there is a real fight, the army will come over in a few hours and can provide support at any time. Even if the ancestors have advantages in the navy and air force.
But the army will be besieged as long as it lands.
Even if we spend a lot of time on an expedition, we will definitely lose, and it is impossible to fight. "
"Director, do you want this to be the end of the day?" Cao Dahua closed the folder in his hand and looked at Charlie and said.
Cao Dahua still has a good impression of Lei Weidong. He knows what he means by rambling, but he doesn't want to make his position clear.
"That's it." Charlie nodded. Not only would Cao Dahua be the senior assistant director of the department soon, he would also be the favorite to become the next director of the department. Charlie must respect his words.
So he closed the folder in his hand and said, "Everyone, please comment on Sir Lei's answer."
"Very good!" Cao Dahua spoke first.
"I'm sure!" After taking a look at Charlie, Yu Suqiu followed after getting the hint.
"What about you, Jim?" Charlie asked.
"The topic of the last question was a little vague, but it was pretty good." Jim knew Lei Weidong's identity. In addition to being a policeman, he was also a big capitalist and billionaire.
Don't talk about yourself, even the Director and the Governor of Hong Kong can talk to each other on an equal footing.
It's okay to use tricks during the interview, but if you really want to confront someone directly, you'd be an idiot.
"In that case, congratulations to Superintendent Lei, you will be one of us from now on." Charlie stood up and extended his right hand to Lei Weidong.
"Thank you, Director!" Lei Weidong stood up and shook hands in response.
The conflict between Charlie and Lei Weidong was mainly caused by Lin Meng. There was no direct conflict because there was a big age difference between the two.
Lei Weidong was in his early twenties and Charlie was already fifty-five. By the time Lei Weidong became chief superintendent and challenged the assistant director, Charlie had already retired.
"Isn't it true that the house prices you said are rising?" Charlie laughed.
"Director, you can just ask around and you will know whether it is true or not." Lei Weidong shrugged and did not respond directly.
"That's true!" Charlie nodded.
Although colonial officials serve the capitalists, in many cases the capitalists also want to give these officials face. As Charlie, when foreign banks really start to push up housing prices, it is easy to find out as long as you pay attention.
