Hong Kong Island Old Events

"Master."

Wan Chai.

Haifeng food stall.

He Dingxian held a cigarette in his mouth, opened a bottle of beer, and placed it in front of Chen Li: "After more than ten years in the police force, it is most relaxing to sit with you and drink. Come on, let's have a drink."

"Don't."

Chen Li raised the bottles against each other, placed the mouth of the bottle on his lips, and said, "It's definitely not good for you to ask me for a drink in private."

He blew down half the bottle in one gulp.

He Dingxian chuckled and said: "Haha, if it weren't for your care, without your support, I would never be where I am today."

"Say it."

"What's the matter?"

Chen Li put the bottle down, picked up two peanuts with chopsticks, threw them into his mouth and chewed them.

night.

Nine o'clock.

The cool sea breeze blows through the streets.

Ho Dingxian said: "According to my information, the Hong Kong government is about to establish an Anti-Corruption Office, which is independent of the Security Bureau and directly under the jurisdiction of the Governor. The first target is the Chinese in our police force. The Community Relations Office is the first step."

"It could be as short as three years or as slow as five years. The Hong Kong government will definitely take action against us. Therefore, I want new people to take over and the old people to retire."

Chen Li narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at He Dingxian. He didn't ask whether the matter was true or not. Instead, he sighed: "Is this the reason why you suppress A Luo and Sir Cai? Are you afraid that they will be too popular and get burned?"

"right."

He Dingxian nodded: "The fire will definitely come over, but I'm afraid someone will refuse to retreat."

"Are you willing?"

Chen Li's eyes were burning.

"I can't retreat."

He Dingxian took a sip of wine and said, "I have earned enough money, and I also have fame and status. If I am willing to quit, I will definitely be prosperous. But once I quit, I will have to sacrifice a lot of Chinese police officers. I am the only one who can carry on, brothers." Only then can we have a chance to land safely.”

Chen Li nodded, knowing that He Dingxian was telling the truth. In the eyes of outsiders, he might want to seize power, but if the first brother steps down, what will happen to the people at the bottom? When fighting and retreating, one must stay at the rear, and the rear is the most dangerous.

No matter when or where, power cannot be completely let go, the next group of people must come up, otherwise, the Chinese will usher in a great liquidation. At first, it may only liquidate within the police force, but later it may expand into national capital and collective Chinese people.

"So, you are a loser, you want Master to take the lead and write a letter of resignation to retire first?" Chen Li ate peanuts and said He Dingxian's purpose in a casual tone, and He Dingxian nodded: "Yes."

"Master is the superintendent. Once he retires, the brothers will have a role model."

"Anyone who has an opinion or feels uncomfortable will not be able to speak unless he draws a gun from me."

Chen Li rolled his eyes and cursed: "You brat, you ask me to come out and shoulder the blame every time something big happens. Once you do this, no one will respect me anymore."

"hey-hey."

He Dingxian said with a playful smile: "I will honor you, Uncle Li."

Chen Li shook his head: "Forget it, I wouldn't be the superintendent without you, so I'll just give it back to you. Who asked me to take on a good apprentice? Everyone in the police circles is envious of me."

He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and held it in his mouth. He Dingxian quickly took out a lighter and lit it: "Master, there would be no me without you. Ah Xian will always remember it in my heart."

"Stop talking nice words."

Chen Li put his elbows on the table, holding a cigarette between his arms, and looked thoughtful: "Because we want to prevent the Anti-Corruption Office from cracking down, we should replace the old brothers who have dirty information in advance, and support young people who are clean and untainted to take over. It's true." Able to avoid sharp edges and preserve strength."

"As long as the middle layer is not destroyed, you can't fall off from the top."

Chen Li paused and looked at He Dingxian again, knowing that with Sir He's character, he would never stick to it and would definitely fight back, but the deeper plan would not be revealed now. After all, what's the use of telling him to listen to an old man who is about to retire, besides leaking secrets?

If the plan is not kept secret, it will not work!

So he did not ask, but said: "In the past two years, a large number of young police officers have been promoted, and they have been promoted to one level in two or three years. They have long been thinking about dealing with the governor, right?"

"If you come out to hang out, you have to watch for at least five more years. If you are too short-sighted, you will easily fall into the trap." He Dingxian was noncommittal. He saw that his boss had caught an Eastern Star Spot, picked up a chopstick and tasted it, and then said: "The Hong Kong government uses anti-corruption to attack the police force. In fact, it is There are traces to follow, Master, as the head of the Anti-Corruption Office, you should also know how sharp this sword is."

"Yes." Chen Li pondered for a moment and nodded: "Why don't you clarify the matter with A Luo and Sir Cai? Brothers should speak frankly and don't create any gaps."

"If I tell them, will they believe it?" He Dingxian smiled self-deprecatingly: "They say they believe it, but I feel uneasy. Since we have to be on guard at least one trick, it's better to act openly and at least let A Luo and Sir Cai. You can tell which way the wind is blowing.”

"Don't come to the end and call me a sinister villain."

Chen Li had previously thought that Sir He was a bit ambitious, but when he put himself in his shoes, he sighed: "No one will believe you until the Governor takes action. If the Governor does take action, it will be too late to replace him."

"Besides, each of them holds real power, with thousands of people feeding on their hands. Regardless of whether they are willing to give up their rights or not, they cannot retire just because of a guess, especially when Lei Luo, Yan Xiong and others are in the midst of a fight. As the years pass, our ambitions remain undiminished.”

"If I hadn't been in my fifties, I would have retired a long time ago. If you asked me to retire now, I would not be willing to do so."

"After all, I'm not satisfied with being the superintendent yet. Once I become the superintendent, I'll more or less want to be at the division chief level." People all have desires, and it's their nature to be greedy. But the relationship between Chen Li and He Dingxian is extraordinary. Only by unconditional trust can their mentality be adjusted. Looking at it from another perspective, Sir He is like sailing a small boat, looking at the raging storm. It is undoubtedly the most difficult thing to take care of the people on the boat and save the boat at the same time.

At this time, it doesn’t matter who is alive or dead on the ship, or who is on or off the ship. What is important is to keep the ship from sinking first. Once the ship sinks, everyone will be doomed!

"Yeah, I can understand it." He Dingxian looked bitter, raised the bottle of wine and toasted to the master, and drank the wine: "So, I have been using the gentlest means to solve the problem, and I have spent the past two or three years slowly and slowly Showdown with the brothers."

"Don't be in a hurry, otherwise something will happen. You have to take it step by step and replace people one by one."

It takes time to heal the wounds of reform policies. It is possible to succeed in "reducing the vassal state" one by one, but someone will rebel if you reduce the vassal state at once! This is the experience and lesson summarized by history, so Sir He was the first to come to the Master for a heart-to-heart talk.

Let Chen Li, a man with fame and power but lack of basic foundation, be used as an example. Next, Qian Weishan, Huo Jiacheng, Zhong Dewei and others will be replaced. Finally, it will be Cai Zhaoguang, Zeng Shaoke, Lei Luo and others' turn. .

Because this will gradually weaken the power of the old brothers and form a consensus on retirement, allowing Cai Zhaoguang, Zeng Shaoke and others to choose to bow their heads.

“Who will be given the position of Superintendent of the Anti-Corruption Office?”

Chen Li drank two bottles of wine and asked aloud. He Dingxian smiled and said: "It's up to you to choose, as long as you can do things. After all, once an anti-corruption crisis occurs, the police force will bear the brunt of the anti-corruption crisis, so we need a capable person."

"knew."

Chen Li thought of a candidate: "There is a young man named Li Junxia who is very good. He is now the Senior Anti-Corruption Inspector of Hong Kong Island and has been promoted to Chief Inspector. He can take over my position in two years."

Before the Hong Kong government officially launches action, the position of the police force ghosts will not waver. Some high-level positions are temporarily lacking clean and capable young people to take over, so they can let go temporarily. Let young people practice for two or three more years and wait until the right opportunity takes over.

He Dingxian remembered that Li Junxia was a uniformed police officer. He graduated from Elizabeth Middle School and served as a uniformed police sergeant in the Taipingshan Department. However, because he offended the boss of the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce and his official career was not smooth, Chen Li was specially transferred to the Anti-Corruption Office.

Although He Dingxian himself had no friendship with Li Junxia, ​​since he was recommended by his master, he must be trusted.

At the end of the month, Chen Li formally submitted a retirement application to the Commissioner of Police. Since his age was far beyond the 45-year-old retirement limit for Chinese police officers, Commissioner Kun Xian signed the petition readily after privately asking Sir He what he thought. agree.

At the same time, Li Junxia was promoted and transferred to the position of Chief Inspector of the Tai Kwun Anti-Corruption Office.

This incident did not cause any disturbance within the police force. Because at Sir Chen's age, it is normal to enjoy retirement, and it is even more normal to recommend a subordinate for promotion before retirement. But the foreshadowing of the internal purge of Chinese members of the police force was laid.

half year later.

"Brother Xian."

Qian Weishan wore a suit, knocked on the door of the assistant director's office, stood at attention in front of his desk, saluted, and said with a smile: "What are your orders?"

"Ashan."

He Dingxian moved his fingers across the table, walked around the desk and came to the old man's side, and said loudly: "The crime rate in the first half of the year in Kowloon District O is not very good. The director of the department was banging the table in the conference room. You have to give me an explanation. "

Qian Weishan's expression changed suddenly. He remembered the rumors in Kowloon District and explained in a panic: "Brother Xian, Chao Yiyong, Xinji, Yiqun, any of the clubs in Kowloon are not easy to mess with. Ji O can only guarantee that the case will be solved. The crime rate cannot be guaranteed.”

"Moreover, in the past, citizens had to go directly to the police station to report crimes, and the police station could control the number of crimes. But now many citizens have learned to complain to the community relations office first, and then transfer the case to the police station through the community relations office."

“In this case, the cases are registered with the Community Relations Department, and it is difficult to reduce them.”

He Dingxian took him to the sofa, sat down alone, crossed his legs, and asked with a careful look: "It's difficult, so there's no need to do it?"

"Sir."

"That was not what I meant."

Qian Weishan secretly thought something was wrong and looked anxious.

"Have you seen the trouble in the Community Relations Department? I reminded you that in addition to making money, you also have to do your job well. Now there is no way to deal with it." He Dingxian said: "Oh, let's find another person to take charge of it, so as not to worry about it. If you take the blame, you can first transfer to Daguan to help me."

Qian Weishan felt guilty, unsure whether entering Tai Kwun was a good thing or a bad thing, but when he saw Sir He staring at him, he could only agree: "Thank you, Brother Xian."
