Chapter 493 Beheading?
"He sir, Lu Dingtang, the senior investigation director of the ICAC, died in a car accident. The Wanchai Office has gone to collect the body." Lan Gang opened the office door and stood at the door to report: "The driver has been arrested. According to the inspection of the vehicle, it was found that the brakes failed. "
"Strict investigation!"
He Dingxian looked serious, and said sharply: "The dignified senior investigation director of the ICAC died in a car accident for no reason. It is necessary to find out whether there are corrupt elements planning revenge."
"Yes, sir!"
Lan Gang stood at attention and saluted, and replied loudly.
This traffic incident is destined to cause a lot of public opinion in the society, but compared to the conflict between the police and corruption involving more than a hundred people, the death of a person in the storm is destined to be easily forgotten.Killing a high-ranking member of the ICAC in normal times would probably lead to strong retaliation from the Hong Kong government, but at the stage when the police and corruption are officially fighting, killing a person is no longer a big deal.
Moreover, Lu Dingtang died in Xiu Desen's car, and has entered the stage of internal investigation. The first person responsible is actually Xiu Desen, unless Xiu Desen can produce evidence of someone behind the scenes.But the ICAC has offended so many people since its establishment, who will keep the evidence, and who will investigate?
You know, when someone dies in a case, whether it is homicide, accident, or revenge, the investigation power is in the hands of the police force.
"Humph."
"Now he's in big trouble."
He Dingxian lit a cigar, sat on a chair, and flipped through the documents in an orderly manner.
Inside the ICAC.
When the investigation directors of the five teams of the Executive Office learned of the death of their immediate boss, their first reaction was to complain collectively. They may not have any feelings for Lu Dingtang, but if they don't even complain about Lu Sir's death, they will be the ones who die for no reason next time .
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiu Desen, the senior investigation director of Group L, personally went to the door to ask Lu Dingtang to leave. For a while, there was a lot of anger in the executive office, and the entire ICAC was panicked.Every department that undertakes internal investigation functions will definitely be hated by the insiders, and doing things carefully may offend people, let alone let a high-level person die in his hands.
Central.
hospital.
"Sir Xiude, how is your health?" The Commissioner of ICAC rushed to the hospital in person, showing concern as soon as he entered the ward, and condolences to his subordinates who were also injured in the incident.Seeing that Xiu Desen's left hand was wrapped in a bandage, he sat on the bed and quickly stood up, saluting with his right hand with a respectful face: "Hello, sir!"
"you are welcome."
Ji Da moved a chair and sat down, and said apologetically, "It's my fault, Lu Dingtang should postpone the investigation."
"No."
Xiu Desen shook his head hastily: "The police force intends to use a killer to target someone, and it cannot be prevented at any time. If the monitoring work is delayed because of this, Group L can simply be cancelled."
Ji Da was silent for a while, feeling really uncomfortable, because Xiu Desen told the truth, but the truth revealed the incompetence and weakness of the ICAC. Why would the police dare to kill people?Because the hard power is enough, just do it!Because Lu Dingtang did accept bribes, because the ICAC does not have the same ability to retaliate.
It's not that even the Governor's Mansion and the Military Intelligence Department behind it are not good, but that it is impossible to deal with the aftermath of the assassination, so it is more beneficial to let He Dingxian live.
Hudeson sighed: "I have always been reminded by the officer of the sentence I said before I came to Hong Kong Island. If you are afraid of death, don't do anti-corruption. The right road must be full of thorns, and you don't have the belief to overcome obstacles and dedicate yourself to your ideals."
"How to drive out the darkness, usher in the dawn, and defeat that money empire?"
Ji Da was moved by Xiu Desen's words. Among all the management, he is indeed the one who hates corruption the most. Otherwise, the position in Group L would not be given to him.If everyone in the ICAC has the same belief, why not beat the police force?
"Now we need to confirm whether Sir Lu has committed corruption."
Hudson said.
Ji Da shook his head: "The evidence is complete, there is no doubt about corruption, but Group L has not formally filed a case, so Lu Dingtang cannot be listed as a suspect."
"Ok?"
Xiu Desen's expression suddenly became agitated, and he shouted high-spiritedly: "Ji Da sir! If you are greedy, you are greedy, and if you are black, you are black. Why should you pretend to be deaf and dumb to calm public opinion! If this continues, the ICAC will only become the next police officer." Team!"
"To protect you!" Ji Da held his hand and said in a solemn voice, "Only by making Lu Dingtang sacrificed for his duty and suspending his job for investigation can you become a victim together. If you make Lu Dingtang a criminal, you will kill Lu Dingtang Maneuver."
"There have been rumors in the ICAC that Lu Dingtang was beaten during the police-corruption conflict, which disgraced the ICAC and led us to get rid of him."
Behind Lu Dingtang is the representative of the entire executive office. If Lu Dingtang loses face and needs to be eliminated, is it true that other people in the executive office are not ashamed and have been safe and sound?The joints here are clear and clear, and Xiu Desen immediately thought that He Dingxian's insulting actions were not done in vain, but laid the groundwork for provoking internal conflicts in the ICAC.The Governor knows how to stir up conflicts in the police force, and the police force can naturally stir up conflicts within the ICAC in turn.
I thought that the newly established ICAC would have simple interpersonal relationships and one mind, but I didn't expect to find opportunities for the Chinese.
It can only be said that it is too difficult to do things in the Chinese land.
Xiu Desen was silent for a while, then sighed: "I understand, thank you sir."
"This is what I should do." Ji Da breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a comfortable voice: "You can rest easy and recuperate. The work of Group L will be temporarily handled by Bonn. I have ordered the release of Han Zhibang and others. A 24-hour questioning period In the past, Group L has no evidence to file a case, so it cannot be based on suspicion alone."
"There were only a few middle schools in the Kowloon area at the time, and the ICAC recruited more Chinese. It is normal for some of them to graduate from that middle school. But I will let Bonn pay more attention and keep a close eye on them."
When Xiu Desen heard that he was a deputy acting on official duties, he felt relieved, at least it meant that he had not been thrown out of the power center of the ICAC.As for the affairs of Han Zhibang and others, this is indeed the only way to deal with them, and they can't even change their positions.
Because the timing is too sensitive, we must pay attention to the thoughts of the members of the executive branch.
"I see."
Hudson nodded.
Ji Da glanced at his watch, stood up and said, "I'm happiest that you survived. I'm waiting for your reinstatement at the ICAC. I have some things to go to Taiping Mountain first."
Xiu Desen smiled wryly: "Goodbye, sir."
"Don't worry, it's none of your business." Seeing his expression, Ji Da smiled, perhaps to safeguard his own authority, and explained: "The governor will not interfere in the ICAC's internal affairs, it is the New Territories police officers who have started There's a rally."
Xiu Desen's complexion suddenly changed, but the ICAC was pushed to the forefront. Anti-corruption on Hong Kong Island is really dancing on the tip of a knife.
Taiping Mountain.
Seeing Ji Da walk into the fan-shaped gate, MacLehose stood on the blanket and stood at attention, then put down his pen, stood up politely and said, "Sir Ji Da, a senior investigation officer died in a car accident in Central, the internal opinion of the ICAC How about it?"
"The one who died was Lu Dingtang, the head of the executive department."
Ji Da straightened his waist, put his hands on his trousers, and said in a low voice: "Everyone in the ICAC feels unworthy of Sir Lu's death. I have asked Yan Guoliang, the Chinese investigation director, to act as Sir Lu's official duties temporarily."
"Ah."
"The police assassinated the high-level officials of the British ICAC. If they assassinate the high-level officials of the Chinese ICAC, it will only cause greater resistance from the Chinese community." MacLehose felt that this move was right, and waved his hand: "I originally wanted the Military Intelligence Department to retaliate. Come back, but heard the New Territories police rally again?"
"Yes!"
Ji Da said.
"I allow the ICAC to recruit another 200 people, and we must suppress the police's chances." MacLehose did not retaliate against the police force, but he was afraid of continuing to assassinate.
"We can talk to the British high-ranking officers within the police force, and promise them some security conditions to guarantee their reputation and status, so as to win them over." He offered more generous conditions, hoping to help the ICAC succeed.
However, Ji Da showed a very different spirit and objected: "Mai sir, now is no longer the time to fight for people, but the time to make a final decision!"
"What do you think?" MacLehose raised his eyebrows, his expression became very serious.
Ji Da said positively: "The people who should be won have already been won, and the means of differentiation have been used. From the facts, the police force has been prepared for a long time! Whether it is guessed or received news, in short, the police force is very serious. Unity, interests are seriously tied up, the previous means of gradually breaking down have failed, if no resolute and forceful beheading action is taken, the ICAC will be dragged into the abyss step by step by the police force, the case of Lu Dingtang is proof!"
"This kind of thing is a big blow to morale, it can only be done once, and there cannot be a second time."
MacLehose fell into deep thought and found that Ji Da's point of view had merit. Previously, he was afraid of attacking the leader and causing a collective backlash from the money empire. Did he fall into the rhythm of the enemy?If you are prepared to bear the backlash and kill the leaders directly, will it have a better effect!
A miserable victory is also a victory, no matter how beautiful the defeat is, no matter how brave it is, it is also a defeat!
If he wanted to open up the ruling situation, he had to make a choice. The wise governor quickly had a bias, looked at Ji Da and said, "You want to directly start the investigation of He Dingxian? Then you have to prepare for a large-scale conflict , and even your own sacrifice.”
"I have read He Dingxian's investigation report. The more desperate he is, the more he will not give up. If you force him out of Hong Kong Island, I'm afraid you will have to kill him before you leave."
This kind of personality is indeed a deterrent to the high-level people. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. Who would dare to take off Sir He's shoes and make Sir He barefoot again?Ji Da understood in his heart, showing a resolute look on his face, he stood at attention and said, "It's not about investigating He Dingxian!"
"According to what I know about the police force, there is one person who is far more suitable than He Dingxian, and that is Ge Bai, the deputy director of operations of the police force, who is going through the needles for He Dingxian at the top level!"
"This is a big corrupt official!"
When MacLehose heard that it wasn't He Dingxian, he was actually a little disappointed in his heart. When he heard Ge Bai's name, he became more solemn, and said in a solemn voice: "That's the deputy director of operations!"
