Chapter 426 Witness Protection
What is different about this case, apart from the amount involved, is the involvement of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
But if the Independent Commission Against Corruption is involved, it is impossible for the Wan Chai Police Station to handle the case, because since the Independent Commission Against Corruption has entered the scene, there is a high possibility that police officers are involved in the case.
At this time, it is too late for the police to avoid suspicion, and the case will be transferred by the other party.
So Zhang Pin knew that since Song Zijie reported it, there must be issues related to Wan Chai Police Station.
He first ruled out the problem that someone within the Wan Chai Police Station was involved in the case.
Because if this is the case, Song Zijie will definitely say this in the first sentence.
"I inquired that the Independent Commission Against Corruption suspects that the actual controller of this case is Zhuo Jingquan."
Song Zijie stopped covering up when Zhang Pin said this. The key information is stated directly.
“Zhuo Jingquan!”
When Zhang Pin heard the name, he sat up straight, picked up the water glass next to him, blew on the wolfberry floating on the water, took a sip of water, then put down the water glass and lay down on the chair again.
"Is the information accurate?"
Ma Jun was unlucky and failed the first interview as a trainee inspector.
Originally, according to police regulations, during the police trainee inspector interview, as long as the examiner passed the interview, there would be no other problems with the police officer's promotion.
But after the interview, Sir Huang directly stated in the interview report that Ma Jun had violent tendencies and disrespected his boss.
The Human Resources Department originally didn't want to deal with this matter. After all, it wasn't the first time they had encountered this kind of thing. They could just change the report.
But who knew that before they could change the report, Zhuo Jingquan, the deputy director, specifically asked about this matter.
When the matter got serious, it was difficult for the personnel department to cover it up, so even if Zhang Pin wrote in the report and approved it, Ma Jun's promotion was temporarily suspended.
This incident was a huge blow to everyone at the Wan Chai Police Station, especially Zhang Pin’s reputation.
Because according to the unspoken rules of the police force, generally as long as the big boss recommends it, the pass rate for the trainee inspector level is very high.
Those who failed actually appeared because the police force had passed the test in advance with the police station in order to control the pass rate.
Now that Zhang Pin is the Chief Inspector and the Director of Operations in Wan Chai, he does not even have the opportunity to promote his subordinates to trainee inspectors. His reputation can be imagined.
As Zhang Pin’s de facto secretary, Song Zijie certainly knew who was behind this matter.
So from then on, he has been paying attention to all information related to Zhuo Jingquan.
But apart from Song Zijie, some police officers from Wan Chai Police Station have begun to move closer to Commissioner Ip Tak-han, wanting to break away from Zhang Pin's team.
After all, according to the current rumors in the police force, Zhuo Jingquan is probably not 100%, but at least 80% likely to be the next brother.
Offending Zhuo Jingquan is equivalent to offending the future No. 1 brother of the police force.
Even if the other party is not the first brother, his current status as deputy director can prevent Zhang Pin from getting ahead again.
Regarding this situation, Zhang Pin himself has not expressed his position, but several of his backbones have already taken the initiative to start doing things.
For example, now that Song Zijie got the news, he immediately reported it to him.
Zhang Pin became energetic when he heard the news about Song Zijie.
To be honest, Ma Jun was not happy for his promotion failed.
After all, it was his first time as an interviewer, and he was the main interviewer. As a result, he failed the first interview, which made him unable to accept his previous smooth sailing mentality.
Especially if Zhuo Jingquan suppresses him so blatantly, if he doesn't respond, he may really not be able to stay in the police force.
But as the deputy director and the head of the operations department, the other party, as the chief inspector of a police station, could not do anything about the other party.
Even if it weren't for his very firm control over the Operations Department of Wan Chai Police Station, he would probably be ignored by the other party now.
Because of the unequal status, Zhang Pin could only choose to keep a low profile for the time being. Now that Song Zijie had heard such news, Zhang Pin felt that the time for him to fight back was coming.
"Boss, are you kidding me? You are still just chasing rumors. As the deputy director, even if there is a real problem, it is impossible for him to be exposed so easily!"
Seeing Zhang When it comes to taking things seriously, Song Zijie is not so optimistic.
As he said, Zhuo Jingquan can firmly hold the position of deputy director. Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with him, it is good that it can be revealed now. As for the conclusive evidence, it is difficult to say .
Zhang Pin nodded. He knew that he was a little anxious, but what happened this time also gave him a wake-up call.
Because there are so many calls for Zhuo Jingquan to be appointed as the first brother of the next police force, at this time, there will definitely be a peak period for the outbreak of some secret information about him.
After all, besides him, it doesn’t mean that no one else can sit in the first brother’s position.
If we don’t get rid of him now, when he takes the position of the first brother, others will have no chance.
So he was a little unsure whether this was Zhuo Jingquan's competitor's slander, or whether it was really related to the other party.
However, the opportunity to bring down Zhuo Jingquan was rare, and he did not want to let it go.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Song Zijie.
"Arrange a team of guys to first find three witnesses to record a statement. At the same time, send someone to pay attention to their safety. The other party is likely to take risks."
Hearing his words, Song Zijie's face looked a little strange.
"Tou, you are really good at predicting things. Just today, sailor Chen Daquan lost control of the elevator and fell to his death while riding in the elevator in the building where he lived. In addition, club security guard Zhu Tianming was also on duty. The room was blown up by a bomb of unknown origin.”
Zhang Pin nodded expressionlessly. The other party's method was not unexpected, except that he moved a little faster. Logically speaking, such a witness should be communicated with someone first, and if he could be bribed, he could be bribed directly.
There is only one way to kill people directly like this, and that means the other party is anxious.
However, Zhang Pin did not immediately feel that this must be arranged by Zhao Guomin. After all, if Zhao Guomin and Zhuo Jingquan colluded, the other party's methods could not be so rough.
This time the two witnesses were killed and silenced so hastily, it was more like confusing the audience and disturbing everyone's attention.
"Where is the other witness? That primary school teacher, her name is Yang Leer, right! Was she in danger?"
"This is the main reason why I'm looking for you. Miss Yang Le'er lives in Wan Chai. She reported this morning that someone had connected a high-voltage wire to her bathroom. She was going to take a bath, but her cat broke in first. "
Song Zijie is also a little angry. In fact, based on the current clues, the context of this case is already very clear. The other party's blatant disregard of the law and such blatant killing and silence can be regarded as provoking their law enforcement officers.
"Now that Yang Leer has become the only witness in this case, hasn't the ICAC arranged for someone to protect her?"
Zhang Pin was a little curious. The amount involved in the case reached A case worth tens of billions, not to mention that if Yihui Group is really related to drugs, the market value of this group can reach hundreds of billions.
For such a large case, the Independent Commission Against Corruption's response was a bit slow.
“This is what I find strange. For such a big case, the Independent Commission Against Corruption conducted it secretly at the beginning. We only got the news after Yang Leer called the police.”
< br>"But witnesses have died one after another, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption has not initiated the idea of protecting witnesses. No, I will come to you right away."
"So, behind this case, Zhao Guomin’s energy is really great.”
Zhang Pin smiled and continued to take a sip of water.
"In this case, just pretend that you don't know anything about the Independent Commission Against Corruption and directly invite Yang Leer to come to the police station to testify. By the way, you can't relax the protection of witnesses afterwards. Since the other party dares to directly assassinate three witnesses, I guess Not afraid of murdering police officers."
"Okay, I understand, I will pay attention."
Song Zijie nodded, closed the folder and walked out.
Neither of them continued to talk about Zhuo Jingquan, but they both knew that after Zhao Guomin's evidence was confirmed, as long as Zhao Guomin was still at the police station, they would definitely be able to get some information.
On the contrary, if you rush to inquire now, if something happens to this case again, things will not be done well and you will be alerted.
Yang Leer arrived quickly. She was wearing a long black dress with a relatively low neckline, revealing her fair skin. Her hair was made into big waves. At first glance, most people's first impression of her was There are more models than teachers.
"Ms. Yang, thank you very much for your cooperation. I am Inspector Song Zijie of the Wan Chai Anti-Gangster Group."
Song Zijie was also surprised when he saw the other party for the first time.
"Thank you, this is what I should do."
It can be seen that Yang Leer's posture is not arrogant, but very kind, which makes people believe that she is really a primary school teacher.
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, Song Zijie arranged the process of only authenticating people early.
Arriving at the identification room, Yang Leer sat next to the chair prepared for her, with a lawyer beside her.
Zhou Xingxing picked up a cup of coffee and handed it to the other party.
"Ms. Yang, drink coffee."
Because Zhang Pin specifically told him to protect the safety of the other party, Song Zijie did not succeed and directly assigned Zhou Xingxing and Ma Jun to lead team, ready to protect each other's safety 24 hours a day.
This guy Zhou Xingxing has obviously been having a heated relationship with Wu Junjun recently, but now when he meets a beautiful woman, he still can't help but approach her and show her courtesy, completely ignoring Wu Junjun's eyes that are about to burst into flames at the door.
Yes, after Bawanghua’s training, because of Zhang Pin’s initiative, he actually managed to get a few back from the Wan Chai Police Station.
However, the originally planned important personnel protection team has not been established yet. The main reason is, of course, because there has been too much turmoil recently. Let alone the establishment of a new department, I heard that the original Political Department is about to close. Abolition.
Because the witness this time was a woman, Song Zijie specially arranged for Wu Junjun and Luo Meiwei to provide personal protection.
“Thank you!”
When Zhou Xingxing came over, Yang Leer subconsciously raised her hand to cover her chest. When she saw the coffee that the other party held out, she stuck out her tongue playfully, looking a little embarrassed.
It can be seen that the other party is not only good-looking, but also not the kind of person who is difficult to get along with.
Zhou Xingxing was originally a good-looking guy, but now that he saw such a playful side, he became even more enthusiastic.
"Ms. Yang, it's really rare for a girl as beautiful as you to be brave enough to stand up as a witness."
But Zhou Xingxing's flattery , but Yang Leer disagreed.
"Is this police officer discriminating against good-looking girls like us? Maintaining social fairness and justice is an obligation that each of us should fulfill."
"I just did something for myself It's just something I think I should do, and it has nothing to do with my appearance."
When the other party said this, Zhou Xingxing became embarrassed. He could only give a thumbs up: "You have character!"
Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at the horse army standing next to him like a wooden pile.
"This is Ma Jun. When the time comes, he and I will lead the team and be responsible for your safety."
When Ma Jun heard Zhou Xingxing's words, he turned around and glanced at Yang Le'er. His eyes looked as if he wanted to eat him up. There was no smile on his face at all. Facing Yang Le'er's smile, he nodded stiffly. .
Yang Leer was startled and quickly put down the coffee in her hand.
"Officer, what's going on with your colleague?"
Even if she found that the bathroom was electrified in the morning, Yang Leer was not so scared of being targeted by Ma Jun, so at this time she He tugged on Zhou Xingxing's clothes again and asked him about Ma Jun's situation.
"Oh, it's okay. As you know, we have been through ups and downs as police officers. We have experienced a lot. That colleague has a weird personality, but we are still the same person."
Although Zhou Xingxing can't speak, he still has the ability to observe people's emotions.
The reason why he deliberately introduced Ma Jun to the other party was to scare the other party.
Ma Jun was not in a good mood recently because he failed for promotion, so he worked even harder.
After hearing that Zhao Guoguo hired a murderer, he was even more energetic in doing things, so he seemed a little nervous.
It’s just that Ma Jun has never done any witness protection work before, so when he showed it now, he seemed to use too much force, and even scared the person being protected.
Yang Leer was so frightened by Ma Jun, and then looked at the wretched Zhou Xingxing next to him, and suddenly felt that he was quite pleasing to the eye.
After Zhou Xingxing achieved his goal, he naturally began to arrange the identification process.
The room next door is separated from this side by a piece of single-pane glass. Inside, there are five men with different looks but identical clothes standing together.
When Yang Leer heard the identification, she stepped closer to the glass so that she could see more carefully.
Seeing that she was about to speak, the lawyer standing by could not help but whispered in her ear.
