Hong Kong Island Old Events

Chapter 173 Heroic Anti-Smuggling

Ge Bai was shocked. He did not expect that He Dingxian would attack the customs. However, He Dingxian said slowly and unhurriedly: "The Customs Department itself is the largest smuggling group in Hong Kong Island. It not only accepts money from foreign banks, but also money from Chinese people." .”

"As the Chief Inspector of the Anti-Corruption Office of the Police Force, if you accidentally come across clues about corruption in the Police Force and follow the clues, you will definitely find them in the Customs, right?"

"Sir Ge, this is your ability!"

Clues of corruption in the police force are all over the streets, just like everyone in the Customs Department covers smuggling, and the Customs Department collects black money from smugglers, just like the police force eats a bowl of free Chezi noodles on the street. They are used to it and eat together. It is as natural as drinking water and is an on-site charge within the responsibilities. It will not be reflected in the fee.

Every once in a while, the anti-corruption office will pretend to investigate a few corruption cases, and then the higher-ups in the police force will hold several lower-level police officers and team leaders accountable. Everything is like a script written in advance.

But Ge Bai was very worried and couldn't help but said: "The Anti-Corruption Office is only responsible for the corruption of the police force and has no authority to deal with the Customs, Correctional Services Department and other departments. Sir, you want me to make a mistake!"

He Dingxian said: "What are you afraid of? I have already thought of the reason for you. The police investigation team accidentally implicated the customs. When the time comes, just submit the case to the superior department and let the big boss of the Governor's Mansion make the decision. "

"We just need to put pressure on the customs. Besides, you are about to leave the anti-corruption room. Is it too much to step on the line in the end?"

"Isn't my relationship with you worth your help?" He Dingxian lit up a cigarette and smoked quietly after finishing speaking.

Ge Bai was hesitant, not because he was afraid of the Customs Department. After all, as the only anti-corruption department in Hong Kong, if the Anti-Corruption Office had clues, it would be reasonable to check other departments.

This is also the reason why the customs was able to swallow their anger last time.

As the largest disciplinary department in Hong Kong Island, the Police Force has the strongest armed force. The more departments there are, the greater the power. If Hong Kong Island had not concentrated most of its security powers on the Police Force at the beginning, there would be no need to establish it later. Separate ICAC.

It will not even reorganize the police force, set up a separate marine police area, and institutionally separate the land police, marine police, and anti-corruption police.

Most of this centralized system is easy to use and is extremely suitable for early colonization. However, once corruption occurs, it can easily lead to collapsing crimes, commonly known as a nest of snakes and rats.

Ge Bai's real hesitation is that helping the Chinese police to trick the customs makes him feel like a ghost. After all, the customs is also a ghost!

But the relationship between He Dingxian and him was unusual. Under He Dingxian's temptation, Ge Bai couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he had to evade: "It's still too risky. I don't want to have tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in goods to affect my subsequent promotion."

"Sir He, it's just a little money for goods, so you can't afford it, right?"

He Dingxian immediately retorted: "How can it be a problem of goods? This is a problem of the police force's face. When you come out to hang out, what is most important? Face is the most important!"

"What's more, the transfer arrangements set within the police force, with Sir Ge's connections, cannot be influenced by the district customs office. If Sir Ge doesn't help, more and more of my goods will be detained in the future, and I really won't be able to spare any money for you. I’m giving away specialties.”

"You don't want to settle accounts in the finance department, and your pockets will be empty after all the calculations, right?"

As a big embezzler, Ge Bai loved money at his core. When he heard someone threatening him with money, his first reaction was not anger, but fear. If someone pinched his weak spot, he immediately felt cruel and said: "Okay!"

"For the sake of our relationship, I will help you here."

He Dingxian suddenly smiled, stepped forward and patted Sir Ge on the shoulder, saying happily: "I knew I had made the right friend of yours!"

Among all the ghosts in Hong Kong, Ge Bai is the cutest. Why?

Because other people really do things for money!

And they only recognize money, not nationality.

Of course there are many of these in the world, there are clan traitors in every country, and there are more in the colonies, but the size is right, the location is right, and the relationship is good, only Ge Bai is left.

"If you have to handle a case, inform me in advance." Seeing that he was leaving, Ge Bai quickly got up to see him off. If he hadn't been transferred to the Finance Department and was afraid of lack of funds to operate a good position in the future, he wouldn't have agreed so readily.

"Definitely, definitely." He Dingxian agreed.

If you want to find the Marine Police Department covering up smuggling, the evidence of corruption and bribery is very simple. The key is whether anyone dares to investigate.

Two days later.

Tsuen Wan Pier.

A batch of cargo ships loaded with electrical appliances docked. Several uniformed customs officers turned on their flashlights and immediately approached: "Which company is it from?"

Originally, when customs discovered a cargo ship at a dock, its first action was to subdue the crew immediately, board the ship and search, then go to higher levels of customs to seize all the smuggled goods, then seize the contraband, and then let the legal goods pay the customs duties.

Now the three customs officers looked like they were drinking tea in a restaurant, holding cigarettes in their mouths and speaking nonchalantly.

The owner of the cargo on the ship immediately stepped forward, handed over the cigarettes, and said politely: "Sir, the ship is cargo from the Atlantic Trading Company. Please say hello to the officer and give him some time to unload the cargo."

The owner of the goods turned out to be a ghost guy.

The three customs officers each accepted a box of cigarettes, and one of them urged: "Hurry up and unload it. I'm going to inform the commander now."

"Thank you, sir." The owner of the cargo, Gui Lao, calmed down the customs officer and turned around to make a gesture to the ship owner. Someone immediately got off the ship and found the leader of the society waiting for work on the shore. A group of workers immediately got up and unloaded the goods, swearing.

Gui Lao's cargo ship is cheap, but the goods are expensive. If you are not careful, you will get beaten.

Dock workers dislike unloading cargo from foreign companies, but no matter how small a mosquito is, they are still meat, so they have to make some money.

"Karl", the assistant supervisor in charge of Tsuen Wan Pier, received the news and walked out of the temporary lounge set up at the pier. Carrying a gun, he casually led a few of his men onto the cargo ship. When he saw the owner of the cargo, he asked: "Is it from Atlantic Trading Company?"

This trading house is not well-known in the history of Hong Kong Island, but it is the property of a Taipan of Yihe Maternity Co., Ltd. and is invested by Standard Chartered Matheson. It has several stores in Central and houses the earliest electrical appliances department store in Hong Kong Island.

However, most of the electrical appliances in the company, ranging from televisions and refrigerators to radios and electric kettles, are all smuggled into Hong Kong.

Controls two-thirds of Hong Kong's film supply.

This is big business!

"Yes, sir, I am Breeden, the manager of Atlantic Trading Company. This is my business card." The cargo owner handed over a business card with both hands. Karl accepted it and said loudly, "Do you want to pass the customs with just one business card?"

He has been in charge of Tsuen Wan Pier as an assistant supervisor for more than four months. However, the electrical appliance store itself is not a business with frequent freight. The real goods are oil, diesel, grain, fruit, etc.

The first time I met the cargo manager of Atlantic Trading Company, I was already impatient and planned to make a huge profit.

As a manager of a commercial bank, Braden was certainly not a fool, but when he was overseas, it was impossible to carry a large amount of cash. He immediately took out a check from his pocket: "Sir Carl, this is the customs clearance fee for the commercial bank."

When Carl saw the amount of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars on the check, he was immediately satisfied, folded it and put it in his arms with a smile.

Just as the two completed the transaction and the workers began to unload the goods, a group of uniformed policemen walked onto the dock in a hurry. The leader was still a white-skinned guy. However, the appearance of the police did not scare the customs nor panic the workers.

This pier itself is covered by the police force, and it is impossible for the police force to destroy their own jobs!

The customs officer approached Karl and reported: "Sir, someone from the police team is here."

"I know." Karl replied nonchalantly. He just looked at the man from the police team with a somewhat unhappy look in his eyes. He raised his flashlight and shined it, which made Ge Bai's eyes filled with white light. He raised his hands to cover his eyes and stepped on the wooden side with one foot. He almost missed the edge of the board and fell into the sea when his feet tilted. Fortunately, two subordinates quickly grabbed his arms and lifted him up: "Sir Ge, Sir Ge!"

Ge Bai stood on the gangplank, panting and in shock. He looked up at Karl in front of him, his face full of anger.

Karl was as surprised as he saw it was him. He quickly handed the flashlight to his subordinate, stepped forward and said, "Sir Ge, why are you here?"

Ge Baicai was too lazy to give him a good look and said bluntly: "The Anti-Corruption Office received an anonymous report. There is a customs officer in Tsuen Wan covering up smuggling. Carl, is it you!"

"Why is there a freighter here?"

He looked at the cargo owner next to him and suddenly ordered: "Detain the person!"

The owner of the cargo did not dare to confront the police force, so he was immediately detained by two ghost police officers. However, Carl was shocked and angry: "TMD, you street boy is causing trouble again!"

Remembering the last time someone was asked to go to the Anti-Corruption Office at gunpoint, Carl was filled with anger. How could there be a freighter here? Why don't you ask why there are laborers here! Freighters come every night, are you blind? Out of sight!

Why are you pretending to be a Londoner?

In anger, Carl stretched out his hand to push away a police officer who came forward, quickly pulled out the gun from his waist, clasped his hands, pointed forward and shouted loudly: "Peter! This is the Tsuen Wan Pier under my jurisdiction, not your anti-corruption office!"

"Get out of here now, I'll pretend nothing happened!"

Ge Bai saw the muzzle of the gun pointed at his chest and almost couldn't breathe. He raised his hands and backed away step by step, shouting: "Calm down, Karl, calm down!"

"roll!!!"

Carl roared at the top of his lungs.

Ge Bai rarely boarded a ship, and it was dark. As he was retreating, he panicked. He lost his balance on his heels, and his leather shoes slipped again, and he suddenly fell into the sea.

Karl watched in shock as the person disappeared. After being stunned, he panicked: "I haven't even turned on the safety yet. Why did the person get shot?"

"It's over, it's over. Shooting a police officer is a felony."

However, several police ghost guys immediately let go of the cargo owner and ran into the sea to rescue people. Even if no one was controlling the cargo owner, he stood motionless on the board of the ship and did not dare to run around, for fear that he would be charged with murdering a police inspector.

There were so many people present, big and small, and he was the only one who was the most suitable to take the blame. How dare he run away!

This night, Ge Bai became red!
