"But you are wrong. I am not arresting you for the money printing machine. The FBI treats it as a treasure. In my eyes, the money printing machine is no different from an ordinary printer.
No matter how genuine the U.S. dollars are, it doesn’t matter if it can defraud the banking system. Anyway, it’s the beautiful country that’s being deceived.
Besides, the beautiful country prints so much money every year, and you can’t even count it as a fraction. At most, it can disrupt the financial market of the beautiful country.
What does it have to do with me. "
Lei Weidong said with a smile, "The same goes for the big shots you mentioned. Different positions have different perspectives, just like the billionaire Mr. Steven Ryan in the cabin.
In your eyes, he is a great big shot, even the FBI is not willing to offend him.
But in my eyes, he is just a white man with a little money, a character who can be done with just a wave of his hand, just like a passerby.
For those who can be called big shots in my eyes, let alone billions of dollars in counterfeit money, even tens of billions or hundreds of billions will have no impact on them at all. "
"Since you don't care, why do you want to catch me and jump out of the helicopter? Are you so desperate for your life?" Lei Weidong's words made Ricky Tang look shocked, and he didn't understand what he meant.
It's not because of the counterfeit money. Then why do you catch yourself? Is it because it's fun?
As for Chen Jiaju’s reasons.
Ricky Don didn't think about it.
Even though Chen Jiaju is already a high-ranking senior superintendent in the police force, in the eyes of a big shot like Lei Weidong, he is just a useful dog who can be given some benefits, and there is no need to risk his life for a long time.
"Of course it's because of Chen Jiaju." Lei Weidong shrugged, pointed at Chen Jiaju who was standing not far away, and said in a cold tone: "He is not only the son of your partner in the police force, Lao Chen, but also my right hand. His subordinates, you actually killed his father, so naturally I, the boss, have to step forward.
"Jiaju, I'll leave the rest to you. Don't underestimate my reputation. Just do whatever you want. If anything happens, I'll take care of it for you."
"Director, thank you." Chen Jiaju stepped forward and looked at Ricky Tang who was lying on the ground.
If at the beginning, Chen Jiaju was still doubtful about whether Ricky Tang killed his father, then after Ricky Tang faked his death on the yacht, he could be 100% sure that Ricky Tang was the murderer of his father.
Otherwise, why would you pretend to die in front of yourself?
Chen Jiaju was very sad when he learned the truth. He didn't understand why.
His father is Ricky Tang's leader in the police force. The two have a good relationship. His father takes care of Ricky Tang as he takes care of his son.
Ricky Tang also respected his father and often visited his home. The relationship with him was so familiar that Chen Jiaju called him uncle.
But everything changed during an operation to arrest drug dealers more than ten years ago.
His father did not come back, and Ricky Tang disappeared. I have been tracking him for more than ten years but there is no news. Today I finally got the news.
"It was you who killed my father. Why? He was better to you than to my son, so why did you kill him?"
Looking at his father-killing enemy, Chen Jiaju clenched his fists, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Ricky Tang, trying to understand why.
"Why?" Looking at the angry Chen Jiaju, the expression on Ricky Tang's face kept changing, ranging from regret to frustration, and of course, more importantly, fear and fear.
He knew he was finished.
If only because of counterfeit banknotes.
Then, there is no need to be afraid even if you are caught by the police.
The worst he can do is go to jail, and there is no death penalty in Xiangjiang, so the sentence will be longer.
But if it falls into the hands of the enemy, or the enemy who killed his father, then life will be worse than death. Chen Jiaju will definitely torture himself, torture like crazy.
"I was the one who killed Lao Chen." Looking at Lei Weidong and others who were watching eagerly around him, as well as the various torture instruments on the deck, Ricky Tang sighed deeply.
At this point, there is no point in hiding it anymore. If you speak it out loud, you might be able to suffer less. Otherwise, the punishment of the iron brush will not be endured by you.
He immediately laughed miserably, nodded, and said, "I was behind Lao Chen, and when he wasn't paying attention, I shot him in the head. As for the reason, it's very simple. It's for money, a lot of money."
"Killing my father for money, will your conscience be eaten by dogs?" After hearing that Ricky Tang killed his father because of money, Chen Jiaju was so angry that he almost took out a gun and killed Ricky Tang.
"If it's only tens of thousands of dollars, I definitely don't care, but do you know how much it is? Two million dollars is still US dollars." Ricky Tang moved his body, found a place to lean more comfortably, and looked up Looking at the stars in the sky, the memory returns to more than ten years ago.
"Back then, Lao Chen and I investigated a case of washing powder.
The operation went very smoothly. Not only did we catch the main culprit, we also seized the funds they used to conduct the transaction, which was two million U.S. dollars, or 10 million in Hong Kong dollars.
That was 10 million in the 1970s, and the price of a house was less than 100 yuan per square foot. You could buy hundreds of houses with three bedrooms and one living room in a 1,000-square-foot mansion. Now it is definitely more than 500 million.
In order to escape legal sanctions, the drug dealer took the initiative to deliver the box containing the money to me and Lao Chen. As long as we agreed to let him go, the money would be ours. "
"So you were bribed with ten million." Chen Jiaju despised the greedy expression on Ricky Tang's face.
Things that were bribed by criminals with money during the execution process.
As a criminal maniac, Chen Jiaju has encountered too many people.
However, Chen Jiaju adhered to his principles. Whether it was hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions, Chen Jiaju remained unmoved. Not only would he not be bribed by criminals, he would also add another crime to the other party, bribery of public servants.
Let them steal the chicken but lose the rice.
"Yes, I was bribed, that's 10 million, which Lao Chen and I can't earn in a lifetime with our salary, why not make a fortune, take the word and soar into the sky, from a small policeman to a rich man. "
Ricky Tang said loudly, “Not to mention it was the 1970s when corruption was rampant.
Everyone in the police force is greedy. Even those who are not greedy will take the monthly report issued by the superiors every month.
This is not the salary paid by Gui Lao to the police, but the top brass of the police force headed by Lei Le, who took part of the protection fees paid by the drug offenders in the society and distributed it to everyone for legitimate reasons.
It's all black money. If Lei Le and the others can take it openly, why can't I take it?
So I proposed to divide the money, two people, each get one million US dollars, which is five million dollars, why not do it.
But your father pretended to be aloof and believed that this money could not be taken. If he took it, there would be endless troubles. The money needed to be handed over to those corrupt criminals.
Even the drug dealer can't let him go and hand them over to the higher-ups for processing. I don't know what his head is thinking.
I didn't want to get rich, and I wouldn't let me get rich, which was ten million dollars, so I beat him to death and walked away with two million dollars. "
"Take the money and fly away. You haven't regretted it all these years." Seeing that Ricky Tang's tone was very calm and there was no regret at all, Chen Jiaju asked.
"I regret it, a little bit."
Ricky Tang was silent for a while, shrugged, and said truthfully, "Over the years, whenever I am alone in the dead of night, I think of my days in the police force.
But I don’t regret beating your father to death, but I hate him for being so principled, which caused me to kill my partner with my own hands, and I couldn’t stay in Hong Kong even after taking the money.
If only he had agreed, we would kill the drug dealers, split the money equally, and become millionaires without even knowing it. "
"Unknowingly, you look down on the Independent Commission Against Corruption too much." Chen Jiaju shrugged.
"If it were the ICAC today, I would definitely be afraid. Those gangsters would stare at the police force every day, hoping to find corrupt elements, but in the 1970s."
Ricky Tang snorted coldly, "It was the most chaotic time at that time. The Independent Commission Against Corruption had just been established for more than two years, and they were fighting with Lei Le so much that they had no time to ask us little shrimps.
We just divided 10 million.
Which of those detectives didn't get more than me?
Especially for Lei Le, he probably doesn't even know how much money he has.
Otherwise, there would be no such nickname as Inspector 500 Million.
Even more infuriating.
Not long after the incident, the police stormed the Independent Commission Against Corruption. The Hong Kong Governor signed an order to let go of past corruption. In other words, even if we took any 10 million, it would be cleansed.
It can be said that everything I did was forced. Even if others were in my situation, they would choose to kill your father because he didn't know how to adapt. "
"You, you...you fart!" Chen Jiaju never imagined that after Ricky Tang killed his father, not only did he not regret it, but he also used a set of fallacies to whitewash himself and slander his father's image.
This undoubtedly made Chen Jiaju angry.
In his memory, the image of his father was that of a tall man. His efforts in the police force over the years were all aimed at his father, which was why he could refuse to be bribed.
It's because I have money, and more importantly because I don't want to tarnish my father's image.
He just wanted to refute what Ricky Tang said, but the stupid Chen Jiaju didn't know where to start.
"Okay Jiaju, Ricky Tang is obviously a white-eyed wolf. No matter how nice you are to him, you won't be able to remember and take it for granted. If you are not nice to him, you will remember him forever.
For such people, it won't work even if you say anything to them. Their thoughts are all centered on themselves and never care about others. "
Seeing Chen Jiaju's embarrassed look, Lei Weidong stood up and patted his shoulder, pointed at Ricky Tang and said with a sneer, "To put it bluntly, this is greed, don't use Lei Le and others as an example.
They are not good birds, they are corrupt criminals and puppets pushed out by a group of people from the Eagle Kingdom.
As for the monthly payment your father and others took, the money they took was clean. Even if the source was not clean, it became clean after being transferred by the higher authorities. Otherwise, the Independent Commission Against Corruption would not have made a decision not to hold the grassroots police officers accountable for what they had accepted. Monthly rulings.
In fact, the salary of police officers was too low before. Without extra income, they could not even support themselves, let alone their families.
The people of Eagle Country also realized this later.
After the police integrity conflict, in order to reduce police corruption, the salary of grassroots police officers was greatly increased, from a few hundred yuan a month to several thousand yuan and now to 10,000 yuan.
Although there is a factor of rising prices, the income level is no worse than that of white-collar workers who graduated from college, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of corruption. "
"You put it this way, isn't the monthly payment still black money?" Ricky Tang, who was sitting on the ground, hummed.
"You haven't figured out the nature of black money yet." Looking at the stubborn Ricky Tang, Lei Weidong shook his head, "Whether it is black money or not, you don't have the final say, nor do I, the law has the final say.
The law recognizes that in the era of the money empire, the monthly salary collected by the police is legitimate income, so it is legitimate income. Even if the source of the money is a washing powder dealer, the protection fee paid by the society is also legitimate income.
The ones who are guilty are those at the top who collect protection fees. The lower-level police officers who receive money from below are not guilty. "
"Can the law still be like this?" Ricky Tang asked.
“It can be like this, just like marijuana in the United States, some states have legalized marijuana, which means that you can sell marijuana just like selling food. You can open a store and sell it, and the money you make is legal and clean.
Marijuana is not legal in some states. Selling marijuana is just like selling washing powder. It is black money. Even if it is illegal, people still need to be sentenced if they are caught. You can say that you are unjust.
And this is not the happiest thing.
The funniest thing is that each state defines minors differently.
In some states it's 14 years old, in some it's 15 years old, in some it's 18 years old.
You want to sleep with young girls.
Because of age, it is legal in some states, but not in some states, because lovers often drive from one state to another.
The purpose is not to break the law. "
"Is there still such a situation?" Chen Jiaju was a little stunned by Lei Weidong's words.
"You will know if you take a trip to the beautiful country. In short, whether there is a crime or not is not your decision or mine, the law has the final say.
This is not something you can deny without knowing it. The law is not something that ordinary people can question. Just like the prohibition of alcohol decades ago, it seems ridiculous now. Many people were dissatisfied at the time, but there was no way. The law is the law. After that, you can only accept the punishment obediently. "
What Ricky Tang said is a self-centered fallacy.
As for what Lei Weidong said, even if you think it is unreasonable, you still have to abide by it, because it is the law, and you must abide by it until it is overturned, and you will not accept any refutation.
This has nothing to do with morality or justice.
"Thank you!" Chen Jiaju was very happy to hear Lei Weidong clear his father's name in a few words and affirm his father.
"You're welcome. I also came from the era of the money empire. I also got a lot of monthly exams. In the end, it wasn't like I didn't have anything at all. I was sent to London to study as a representative of the Hong Kong Police Force."
Lei Weidong continued to smile and said, "Okay, after all that has been said, it's time to get down to business. The hatred of killing your father is irreconcilable. You can beat him with your own hands to avenge your father."
"It is illegal to kill someone. Chen Jiaju, you are a policeman. How can you know the law and break the law?" Ricky Tang sneered. He knew that he was no match for Lei Weidong, but he could still handle Chen Jiaju.
"This is the amnesty order. I brought a copy with me when I came out. Take it, Jiaju. With this, you tortured or even killed Ricky Tang just to get rid of the crime, so you will not be held legally responsible. "
Seeing Chen Jiaju's hesitation, Lei Weidong took out the prepared amnesty order.
"That is to say, the Governor ran away, otherwise you can ask for the Governor's. You can turn a blind eye to something as big as a police integrity conflict, let alone such a trivial matter."
