Monday, morning.
At a Hong Kong security meeting, the Commissioner of Police announced the official implementation of the "Witness Protection Plan".
Starting today, witness protection teams will be established in all major regional police stations.
The official English name is: Witness Protection Unit, referred to as WPU, which is managed by the Police Department.
It can be said that most of the functions of the WPU are the same as those of the C4 agents of the Political Department. It is obvious that it can be implemented through a game of upper-level power.
However, C4 agents have the authority to secretly investigate and protect political figures. The WPU can only participate in actions that meet the requirements, and provide round-the-clock protection for witnesses and related persons who may be harmed by risk assessment.
…
Li Shaoze parked his car in the morning and walked into the police station. I saw a space on the left side of the crime team's office area with seven independent desks.
The separated office area was obviously used by the witness protection team that was about to be established.
Wang Suxian was busy organizing things in the new office area. When he saw Li Shaoze coming, he couldn't help but show a hint of apology: "Sir Li, I don't have time to buy breakfast for you, sorry."
"It's okay, I'll just make some coffee."
Li Shaoze waved his hand, picked up the mug and walked into the tea room. While making coffee, he muttered in a low voice: "Damn it, just give me an office area, and I don't have breakfast."
"I want to see who the leader of the WPU is."
"If your looks are not good enough, it's best not to humiliate yourself."
Li Shaoze didn't go to work on weekends. Although he knew about the establishment of the witness protection team, he really didn't know who their leader was. According to his guess, the newly established department has a high chance of airborne troops.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jin, who was hiding in the corner of the tea room and eating a pineapple bun, suddenly changed his expression, choked on his coffee, and coughed repeatedly.
"Jin Zai, what are you doing? I was too tired last night and my kidneys were weak."
Li Shaoze glanced at him and stirred the coffee in the cup.
If the rumors he received were correct, it seemed that Chen Jin had successfully confessed his love to a policewoman in military uniform the day before yesterday. Could it be that they were progressing so fast, a home run in three days?
Young people are not reserved at all!
At least Li Shaoze pretended to be a gentleman for a week.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jin, who had always been straightforward, suddenly became arrogant. He took out a pineapple bun from the bag and handed it to Li Shaoze: "Tou, I'll give you breakfast."
"Thank you, but don't look ashamed. Have you done something sorry for me?"
Li Shaoze was chewing on the pineapple bun. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that Chen Jin was really in trouble.
"Sorry, Tou, I am the WPU team leader who made you unable to have breakfast."
“Now I’m giving you this breakfast, am I very comfortable with it?”
Chen Jin raised his hands in salute, obviously apologizing, but there was a faint smile on his face.
"Fuck off the street, you kid got upgraded behind my back." Li Shaoze pretended to be angry and punched Chen Jin on the chest. Chen Jin pretended to scream, and he cooperated very well.
However, he still said modestly: "No upgrade, no upgrade, just a police sergeant."
"Humph, it's only a matter of time before I get promoted to inspector."
Li Shaoze knew very well that the WPU team was small and it was a newly established department.
Based on Chen Jin's qualifications, the rank of police sergeant is enough to hold the position of team leader.
But in the final analysis, this is a team with independent functions, and the team leader cannot be the police chief for a long time. I'm afraid it won't be long before Jinzai is going to take the promotion exam.
Later, under Chen Jin's guidance, Li Shaoze soon learned that there were seven people in the witness protection team. In view of the possibility that female witnesses may appear when performing tasks, the members include both men and women, all of whom are elites drawn from various groups within the West District.
Among them, four people were transferred from the serious crime team alone, and the remaining three people were transferred from the anti-gang team, military uniform, and intelligence department.
However, in Li Shaoze's opinion, Chen Jiaju's rank is more suitable to be the leader of WPU than Chen Jin. It's a pity that Chen Jiaju has an impulsive personality and cannot adapt to the delicate work of witness protection, so in the end he took advantage of Chen Jin.
"It seems I have to step up my promotion."
Li Shaoze saw the guys starting to take their positions one by one, and he felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
After breakfast, two hours later, Raymond returned from the headquarters by car.
When he entered the second floor, in addition to the major crimes unit, officers from the witness protection unit were already at the scene.
As soon as everyone saw Raymond's formation, they knew that the boss had something to say, so they quickly stood up and said: "Hello, sir."
"Good morning."
Raymond nodded, opened the folder, and officially announced the establishment of the witness protection team, appointed Chen Jin as the team leader, and announced that the witness protection team would be under the jurisdiction of the serious crime team.
This was beyond Li Shaoze's expectation. He did not expect that he would suddenly have an additional team under his jurisdiction. Although the police rank has not been promoted, the actual power has been raised one level.
It can be said that in terms of actual power, even Miao Zhishun, the senior inspector of the anti-gangster group, is not as high as him.
This made Li Shaoze suddenly become the most powerful police inspector in the Western District.
In the entire Hong Kong Island Police Force, there is probably no one with more power than him at the inspector level.
Many discerning people in the police station can also see this.
For example, this guy Wang Suxian, after congratulating Chen Jin, ran up to Li Shaoze and said loudly: "Congratulations, Sir, you have an extra group of guys under you."
"Am I getting promoted today? Congratulations."
Li Shaoze pouted, although he was a little happy in his heart, he would never fall into Wang Suxian's trap. He only took two steps and applauded in the office area: "Come, come, guys. Jinzi is very happy to be promoted today. He invites the whole team to afternoon tea."
"Thank you sir Chen."
The guys hit the snake with sticks and immediately clapped and cheered. Chen Jin was also very excited. He was not shy at all. He waved his hand and said, "Tou is right. I'll treat you to afternoon tea."
"Wow, Jinzai, do you think you got a raise?"
Li Shaoze looked at Chen Jin like that and felt that he had some kind of hallucination.
"No? If you get promoted, you should get a raise."
Chen Jin was a little confused. According to his estimation, the salary increase would only be next month.
"Oh, this is indeed my first promotion."
Li Shaoze sighed softly. You must know that promotions and salary increases in the police department are not synchronized. As long as the documents are approved, you can be promoted. If you want a salary increase, you must wait until the end of each year to do it.
It seems that Chen Jin is going to bleed heavily this time...
Fortunately, it was just afternoon tea, and I could only eat instant noodles for half a month. If the wine was served, he wouldn't be able to eat for a month.
Out of consideration for the man, Li Shaoze patted him on the shoulder: "Here's a tip for you, remember to issue an invoice."
"Thank you, sir."
Chen Jin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally felt a little bit like he was getting promoted.
However, after the witness protection team is established, it still needs half a month of training before it can officially start carrying out its tasks. He will probably suffer in these half months.
