History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 482

Chapter 482

"The police force has collected evidence and will sue Lei Luo in court." Ji Da got the latest report and sat in the waiting area of ​​the Governor's Mansion. When MacLehose came back from the meeting, he immediately walked in and reported: "It looks like He Dingxian is destined to make Lei Luo a scapegoat."

"It can be seen from that article." MacLehose spoke indifferently, as if he had expected it, and sat down on the office chair, with a portrait of the Queen behind him.

The young Elizabeth wears a diamond crown, holds a white fan, and sits on the golden throne in a pure white dress, showing youth, beauty, grace and elegance, and a graceful figure.

Every time Jida came to the governor's office, she couldn't help but glance at the portrait.

MacLehose wore a suit, crossed his legs, lit a cigar, and said in an orderly manner: "Let Lei Luo take care of everything alone, won't Lei Luo's men be afraid of getting involved and feel dissatisfied?"

"definitely will."

Ji Da said confidently: "Lei Luo has worked in the Kowloon District for more than ten years. He has many party members and has formed his own department."

"Just one Zeng Shaoke is still working as the Chief Inspector General in the New Territories. There are more than 400 people under his command. In addition to the five or six police stations in Kowloon, there are at least 600 people under his supervision. Although most of them are in military uniforms, criminal teams, etc. departments, but there are definitely manpower.”

MacLehose nodded: "I gave He Dingxian two ways to go, and he can handle him no matter which way he chooses."

"He desperately wanted to push Lei Luo out. In the end, he was still afraid. The more he was afraid, the more we would fight! Let the deputy management chief of the police force, Skemin, do more activities and first buy Lei Luo's people over, so that Don’t be afraid of riots in the police force.”

"You can tell them that if you want to serve the Hong Kong government now, you can apply for amnesty for them in the future and keep your position and all assets."

Ji Da stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, sir!"

MacLehose is not afraid that He Dingxian will push the matter to Lei Luo, because there is a price for everything, and Lei Luo has to bear the backlash if he is to take care of things. There is also enough force in the hands to use.

What he wanted was never to break down the police force, but to break down the nationalism in the police force and destroy the Chinese forces.

Create an army that obeys orders and does things for the Hong Kong government.

As for the fact that the Community Relations Office was one step late and let the police force corner to overtake, MacLehose was somewhat dissatisfied. After all, there was a big difference between Lei Luo falling into the hands of the police force and the Hong Kong government. Now they can't even intervene in the investigation get started.

But he did not hold Jida accountable, but encouraged him aloud: "Just taking this opportunity, I will propose the establishment of an anti-corruption office in the Legislative Council. Corrupt Commissioner."

"Thank you, sir!" Ji Da was so excited that he stood at attention first and saluted, thanking him loudly.

MacLehose smiled gently: "At the same time, it will be clearly stipulated that the "Prevention of Bribery Ordinance" and "Electoral Fraud Ordinance" will be in charge of the Anti-Corruption Commission. Once the division of powers of the Commissioner is clear, there is no need to worry about the police using the Anti-Corruption Office for manipulation."

Since the Community Relations Department was not part of the law enforcement department before, it was not directly responsible for the "Prevention of Bribery Regulations", so the Anti-Corruption Office could use the "Prevention of Bribery Regulations" to intervene.When a government-level department is established, the anti-corruption office will lose its excuse.

Although the "Anti-Corruption Ordinance" still includes the investigation of commercial crimes and members of the disciplined forces, it does not include the investigation of public officials.This allows the Hong Kong government and the Anti-Corruption Agency to remain invincible. As the saying goes, if I can check you can't, if you can check, I will check too!

As long as the Anti-Corruption Office can find criminal evidence against the Anti-Corruption Office, it will naturally abolish the authority of the Anti-Corruption Office and have exclusive investigation power in Hong Kong!

half a month later.

Hong Kong Island Court of Final Appeal,

The [-] million detective Lei Luo case was heard in public. Nearly [-] people from all walks of life, including journalists, attended the scene to witness the largest corruption offender in Hong Kong.

Lei Luo did not hire a defense lawyer. When confronted by the British judge in court, he sneered into the microphone: "Judge, do you take money?"

The justice, wearing a red robe and looking scowling, struck the gavel.

Da da da!

"Please refrain from initiating questions that are irrelevant to the case."

Lei Luo was wearing a suit and his hands were handcuffed, but he pointed to the sky and shouted: "I swear to the lights, I wanted to be a good policeman on the first day I was admitted to the police academy, and I didn't confiscate a penny in the first year !"

"But I don't charge money. My colleagues look down on me, my superiors look down on me, and even my fellow villagers in housing estates look down on me! Everyone calls me a fool. I don't dare to accept money. I'm worthless! Then I decided to accept it, so Get the most, and be greedy if you want!"

"After I started collecting money, my official career was prosperous, I was promoted to three ranks in a year, and I was convinced by both black and white. Why? Because in society, not only black people collect money, but white people also collect money. Chinese people collect money, and ghosts also collect money Money, at least I collect money and do things for them. With me, Lei Luo, there is no need to pay twice for a shop. I will solve all the troubles that can be solved. In the past, I had to rely on fighting and killing. Sit down with a cup of tea and you'll be fine."

"quiet!"

"Silence!" The judge was furious and knocked the gavel repeatedly.

The lights flickered together, and the reporter took a quick record with a pen.

But Lei Luo cursed: "The money empire was not created by me alone, it was built by the citizens of Hong Kong with bricks and handfuls of sand!"

"It's the governor!"

"It's you ghosts! If you don't help us, we can only form an association to protect ourselves! Now I want to arrest me, but I refuse to accept it. I'm just a police superintendent, a small police superintendent. Sentence the governor first and then me!"

The judge was already anxious, stood up and shouted: "Bailiff!"

"Bailiff!"

"Drag him down."

The two uniforms immediately trot forward and dragged Lei Luo, who was scolding, out of the courtroom.

Then the judge announced a recess for half an hour, and half an hour later, the judge went to court alone to pronounce the sentence. Lei Luo was sentenced to life imprisonment and all illegal assets were confiscated for seven counts of corruption, bribery, abuse of power, and suspected wounding.

Historically, Lei Luo's escape from Hong Kong Island before the ICAC launched an investigation has already caused an uproar. It's not that there is nothing strange about escaping, but that Lei Luo is too famous on Hong Kong Island.In this matter, Lei Luo was sentenced to life imprisonment in the Final Court, which caused a storm of public opinion on Hong Kong Island.

Some citizens applauded Lei Luo's arrest, and some people saw Lei Luo's speech in the newspaper and felt sorry for him. They felt that corruption in the police force was not caused by one person, but by the entire society.The Hong Kong government originally played a positive role in the case, but it was suddenly under attack, which made the Secretary of State extremely anxious.

If Bai Liji faced this turmoil, he would definitely suffer from headaches, which is also the reason why Bai Liji did not dare to act during his tenure.But MacLehose has only been in office for a few months, so it can be said that he travels lightly, and no amount of scolding can be blamed on him.

After MacLehose once again expressed his determination to fight corruption to the public, the government's deeds are more expected by the public.

two months later.

Legislatively passed the "Independent Commission Against Corruption Regulations" and approved the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. The department that has been ready to come out has finally been fully launched, two and a half years earlier than in history.It can be seen that history is a process of dynamic development. When the Chinese in the police force become stronger, the ghosts will respond more positively.

Ji Da was appointed as the first ICAC Commissioner in Hong Kong and reported directly to the Governor. The Community Relations Office was transformed into a first-level department under the ICAC.

Newly established the Anti-Corruption Department, and supplemented the Equipment Department, Personnel Department, etc.

The entire budget of the ICAC is allocated by the Governor's Office, and the new department plans to recruit 200 more people, mainly to supplement the vacancies in the enforcement department and the investigation department.

Yan Guoliang and Han Zhibang were promoted to investigation directors, Jiang Yichong was promoted to senior investigators, and senior police officers transferred from their ancestors such as Lu Dingtang and Wei Liqin were transferred to the senior investigation directors of the Executive Division and Investigation Division.

Ou Liangxian, Ji Da's confidant, is the chief investigation officer and the number two figure in the ICAC.

Many of the members of the first batch of executive teams were promoted, the establishment was expanded, and there were more positions, so the status of the old members naturally increased.

Kowloon.

Typhoon shelter.

Ni Kun, Zhu Youzai, Chen Xijiu and others all carried packages in their hands and moved them from the car to the boat one by one.

More than 30 plainclothes police officers, with guns in hand, patrolled the entrance of the pier. Some members of the community were looming on the fishing boat. He Dingxian, Zeng Shaoke, Cai Zhaoguang, and Lei Luo had their bangs fluttering in the sea breeze, handsome and handsome.

Lei Luo smoked and said, "The Independent Commission Against Corruption has really been established."

"ICAC."

"Heh." Cai Zhaoguang chuckled, and pronounced his English name with a disdainful tone: "I have already sent people to contact the ICAC's new arrivals in Hong Kong to see if they come to Hong Kong Island to make money."

Zeng Shaoke smiled all over his face: "Traveling thousands of miles across the ocean, living apart from his wife and children, not for making money, but also for promotion, can't it be for the empress?"

"Is the queen going to sleep with him!"

Cai Zhaoguang had a stubble on his face, and said with a sneer, "Don't tell me a fart."

He Dingxian shook his head, and couldn't help but interrupted: "Okay, today I'm here to see Aluo off, so don't mention a little business."

Lei Luo echoed, "That's right."

"Don't always talk about sleeping the queen, it makes my heart itch, be careful to put you to sleep."

At this moment, Ni Kun stepped forward and said, "Boss, the boat has been packed."

"Luke."

Chen Xijiu came to Lei Luo.

Lei Luo patted him on the shoulder and said: "Although you are the most incompetent among the detectives under my command, I like you the most. Live a good life on Hong Kong Island. Don't let down the wives at home, and don't let the detectives down. long position."

"Understood, Brother Luo." Chen Xijiu lowered his head with a sad expression.

In fact, when he heard someone laughing at him for taking away the broken shoes, he would secretly resent the boss, but the boss gave too much.Seeing that the boss is leaving and feeling that he has lost his backbone, his heart is full of anxiety and reluctance.Lei Luo raised his eyes to look at the three brothers He Dingxian, Cai Zhaoguang, and Zeng Shaoke, and sighed: "Everyone take care!"

"I can only accompany you here."

"Ah Luo, pay attention to safety on the road." Zeng Shaoke said with emotion: "Remember to call when you arrive in Canada."

"Passports are kept."

He Dingxian stuffed a certificate into his arms: "Be careful."

"gone!"

Lei Luo took the passport, turned and walked towards the fishing boat, suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "goodbye!"

"Hong Kong Island!"

The brothers by the pier all bent down, bowed and shouted: "Goodbye, Brother Luo!"

here goes,

Never again.
