Chapter 904 There is a mole
In the past, anti-corruption incidents rarely resulted in human lives, but in cases like Z Fund involving huge funds, it is not uncommon for human lives to occur.
So whether it is for his own safety or to investigate this case more smoothly, Luk Zhilian urgently needs the help of the Hong Kong Island Police.
In other words, he needs a more violent and legal team than the ICAC to help deal with more vicious enemies.
The only team in Hong Kong that is more violent and legal than the ICAC is the police force.
Originally, it was normal for the ICAC to turn to the police for help when it encountered a tough nut to crack.
But Lu Zhilian has just met a rogue police officer like Huang Wenbin, and coupled with the ICAC's understanding of the police force, sometimes it is not easy to find a relatively reliable partner.
The unexpected arrival of Zhou Xingxing and Liu Baoqiang this time made Lu Zhilian tempted.
Although the two of them said they regretted it after learning their identities.
But judging from the courage of the two of them to break in in the face of more than a dozen gunmen, they are obviously qualified police officers.
So Lu Zhilian also really wanted to cooperate with the two of them.
"Hey, you old Lian went out to investigate, did you get extra subsidies?"
Zhou Xingxing walked in the narrow and dim passage. His original proposal to Lu Zhilian was Lack of interest.
After all, he still has the case that Zhang Pin gave him to handle. Whether that case can be solved is still questionable. Naturally, he does not have time to deal with other cases.
But after hearing Lu Zhilian say that the ICAC's case handling funds were much more abundant than those of the police force, he was immediately moved.
The reason for this is naturally because Zhou Xingxing has personally participated in a very well-funded task before.
It was precisely because of participating in that task that Zhou Xingxing, the unlucky guy, actually earned the money to buy a house on Hong Kong Island.
Although it was only the down payment, it was originally an astronomical sum for Zhou Xingxing.
He spent countless nights imagining that he would once again encounter a case with ample funds to handle, but every time he woke up, he was disappointed.
This time Lu Zhilian proposed cooperation, which gave Zhou Xingxing hope again.
"You said business trip subsidy, it's not impossible to apply for this. As long as you can help, if you don't say anything else, just say that this time, I can at least help each of you apply for more than 10,000 yuan in labor fees."
< br>Lu Zhilian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhou Xingxing and himself withdrawing money.
You must know that the Independent Commission Against Corruption itself is a department engaged in anti-corruption work.
So they know much more about corruption than ordinary institutions.
The first step for many people to commit corruption is naturally due to lack of money, so the Hong Kong team has always advocated high salary and integrity.
As the ICAC is an anti-corruption department, the salary level is naturally not much lower.
At the same time, it is not only to prevent the ICAC investigators from being corrupted, but also to ensure smooth investigation, so the ICAC is never stingy when it comes to case handling funds.
In order to make it easier for investigators to penetrate into corruption, the funding for various informants is also frighteningly generous.
For people like Zhou Xingxing who want labor fees, Lu Zhilian is the favorite.
“This is what you said. I didn’t take the initiative to ask you for money. It is our duty as police officers to help the citizens, and we should not ask for benefits from you.
But since you sincerely want to pay us hard work, for the sake of the integrity of the police and the family, I can't destroy the close friendship between the two parties. Hey, I will reluctantly accept this ten thousand yuan. "
When Zhou Xingxing heard that there was money to be collected, a surge of motivation immediately arose in his body.
"Why don't you let me go ahead? I suspect there may be danger outside, because there is really a lot of danger behind. It's so quiet. "
He immediately took the initiative to speak out, wanting to walk in front, and also reminded everyone to pay attention to the situation.
"There is something wrong. The gunmen didn't seem to follow from the passage. Could it be that they are still there? Outside the house, don’t you know we’ve left? ”
Director An on the side was skeptical about Zhou Xingxing's words.
The main reason was that he didn't believe that the enemy knew so much about the ICAC's safe house.
"Be careful, we're at the exit, I'll give it a try."
Lu Zhilian was not as reassured as Director An.
He himself was very confused about the enemy appearing outside the safe house tonight. After all, the purpose of the ICAC safe house was to hide.
Not to mention that for safety reasons, he moved to a safe house in Yuen Long this afternoon.
Unexpectedly, he moved the safe house with his front foot, and the enemy arrived with his back foot.
Such a quick move inevitably made Lu Zhilian wonder if an insider had leaked the news.
And if it was really the insider who leaked the information, since the other party was able to leak the information about the safe house, it would not be surprising that the information was leaked through the channel.
So Lu Zhilian stood not far from the exit and was not in a hurry to go out.
He first checked the weapons on his body and filled the magazine with bullets.
Then he took off his suit jacket and rolled it into a ball.
Then he looked at the people behind him, signaling them to get ready, and finally quietly pushed open the hidden passage exit.
While pushing open the exit, he said: "Quick, quick, hurry up, come out."
After making sure that the sound could be transmitted outside, he waited for two or three more times. After a few seconds, he threw out the suit that was crumpled into a ball in his hands.
Bang bang bang bang bang -
Just as the suit flew out, dense gunshots suddenly came from the originally silent exit. The suit flying in the air was beaten into pieces in an instant. Rag strips.
“There is really an ambush!”
Director An looked in disbelief.
“There is indeed a mole!”
Lu Zhilian breathed a sigh of relief.
He is not afraid of a mole, because as long as the mole is careful, he can find it out, and as long as the mole is careful and does not leak his information, the other party can only stare.
On the contrary, if the other party is not a mole but can find the safe house of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and knows the safe passage of the safe house, then the other party's energy is terrifyingly strong.
"Get ready, they are almost out of bullets!"
Different from the ICAC, Zhou Xingxing became eager to try after learning that there was an ambush outside.
Originally, he felt that there would be no benefit in saving the ICAC people, and he would be in danger, so it would not be worthwhile if he tried his best.
But now Lu Zhilian wants to cooperate with them on the case, share evidence, and pay them.
Zhou Xingxing suddenly had the motivation to fight.
Moreover, the cooperation with the Independent Commission Against Corruption is not a one-time deal. In order to repay the mortgage, Zhou Xingxing has already made a decision. He must perform well this time and strive for a long-term cooperation with Lu Zhilian. After all, he knew his situation and was very unlucky on weekdays.
Although the salary in the police force is good, his daily expenses are not small. Now that he has a legal revenue channel, how can Zhou Xingxing be willing to give up.
“Damn, I really have to fight hard!”
Liu Baoqiang’s thoughts about Zhou Xingxing are unknown.
But he wants to make progress. Naturally, he can't let things go this time. Besides, even if he wants to retreat, the gunmen outside probably won't agree.
So although he didn't think as much as Zhou Xingxing thought, he was still ready to fight hard.
"Damn it, ten thousand yuan is not enough. If we don't die this time, you old Lian will have to cover our expenses for a month!"
Liu Baoqiang gritted his teeth. Forgot to bargain with Lu Zhilian.
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang——
Zhou Xingxing and Liu Baoqiang were both very skilled. When they heard the sporadic gunshots outside and stopped, they immediately rushed out at the same time.
“Ahhhh——”
The safe passage built by the Independent Commission Against Corruption's safe house leads directly to a road.
This time the gunmen thought they had an ambush and would definitely be able to catch all the ICAC officers, so they were careless in their stance.
They did not expect that there would be other intruders in this operation.
As a result, Zhou Xingxing and Liu Baoqiang seized the opportunity to kill them. The gunmen standing on the road were instantly killed and turned upside down.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang——
With Zhou Xingxing and Liu Baoqiang as role models, Lu Zhilian and Director An also followed suit.
The four of them beat the gunmen to a pulp in one moment.
Taking advantage of his side's advantage, Zhou Xingxing put away the empty magazine of his pistol, then rushed into the crowd and chose to fight hand to hand.
"Leave a few alive as witnesses!"
He directly used a deadly scissor to send a gunman flying, and then he did not forget to warn the others.
After hearing Zhou Xingxing's words, Lu Zhilian and Director An remained indifferent. They just shifted the muzzle of their guns, then stood there and continued to shoot at other gunmen who were either running away or hiding.
The work of the ICAC is still different from that of the police. They do not need the gunmen as witnesses.
But Liu Baoqiang was different. After hearing Zhou Xingxing's shouting, although he was a little worried, he still rushed forward without hesitation and chose to fight with his bare hands.
Fortunately, because the two consecutive ambush failed, and more than half of the men were killed. The remaining gunmen were already frightened.
Originally faced with the shooting of four people, some gunmen, in order to survive, did not forget to turn around and shoot while escaping to stop the pursuit of several people.
However, when they heard Zhou Xingxing shouting that they were going to be captured alive, these people all ran away quickly, and naturally no one foolishly turned around and fired cold shots.
It has to be said that Zhou Xingxing’s voice directly dispelled the resistance of several gunmen.
“Done!”
In this way, after Zhou Xingxing controlled the two gunmen, the scene suddenly calmed down.
"Which of you is the leader? What is the purpose of coming here!"
After confirming that the situation was under control, Lu Zhilian took the initiative and asked about the instigators behind the gunmen.
“Bah, you don’t want to know the news about our boss from my mouth, and I won’t tell you that I contacted him through text messages.”
The gunman who was questioned by Lu Zhilian said It sounds harsh, but it's actually very interesting.
"Very good, I guess you know the truth."
Hearing what the other party said, Lu Zhilian nodded, put down the pistol aimed at the other party's head, and then took out a specially designed weapon from his body. Contact mobile phone.
"Mission accomplished!"
Obviously all the gunmen have been taken care of, but Lu Zhilian still pretended to be the gunman and sent a text message back to the person behind the scenes who contacted them.
"You two, don't mind if we come to your police station to stay for two days!"
After learning that there was an enemy mole in the ICAC, Lu Zhilian was not prepared to spend the next few days. Those who continue to fight against the ICAC are preparing to hide, hoping to wait until the case is officially filed before showing up with witnesses.
“Oops, let’s leave quickly, we almost don’t have time to find the fool.”
But in response to Lu Zhilian's request, Zhou Xingxing was about to discuss terms with the other party, but Liu Baoqiang on the side slapped his thigh anxiously, then pulled Zhou Xingxing and prepared to escape.
"I'm sorry, we still have something urgent to do. If you have anything else, let's talk about it after we get back from our work."
When Zhou Xingxing heard Liu Baoqiang mention Silly Biao, he immediately came back to his senses, Compared with cooperating with the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the tasks assigned to him by Zhang Pin were obviously more important.
"Wait a minute, what case do you want to handle? Why don't we work together? It's easier to do things with more people."
When Lu Zhilian saw that Zhou Xingxing and Liu Baoqiang were leaving, he had just left the danger. Naturally, he didn't want these two bodyguards to leave, so he took the initiative to continue cooperating with them.
"You want to cooperate with us. It seems really possible. But there's no time to say more. We have to find Silly Biao before ten o'clock!"
Zhou Xingxing heard that Lu Zhilian wanted to cooperate. , and immediately thought of the other party’s abundant funds.
So he agreed without too much hesitation, but seeing that time was running out, he didn't say anything more.
"Are you going to just run away to handle the case? I have a car here!"
When Lu Zhilian heard that the two agreed to handle the case together, he was relieved. After all, he He An Ying's safety is now guaranteed.
Then he took the initiative to call out to the two people who were running around like headless flies. At that moment, Director An, who had left before, drove over in a car.
Since the Independent Commission Against Corruption has set up a safe passage here, it naturally also prepared transportation tools for this purpose.
"Tell me about this case. There should be nothing confidential, right?"
After getting in the car, Lu Zhilian looked at An Ying who was silent next to him for a second, and then still Chatted with Zhou Xingxing in front of the other party.
Originally, according to the rules of the ICAC or the police force, one should not discuss the case in front of outsiders.
But the situation is different now, and An Ying is very important to the Z Foundation case. Lu Zhilian does not dare to risk letting the other party out of his sight, so he can only choose to violate the rules slightly.
This is why he emphasized confidentiality when questioning.
Actually, he reminded Zhou Xingxing on purpose.
“Speaking of this case, it is actually very appropriate for the Independent Commission Against Corruption to investigate. Just two days ago, we received a report that a trader at the Jockey Club was shot dead, which may involve peripheral gambling. Things."
The reason why Zhou Xingxing agreed to Lu Zhilian's cooperation was really not just nonsense.
