Although there are the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), and the ever-present Political Department, which Hong Kong police officer can be completely innocent?
Torture and forced confessions are routine for them. It's already a rare find to have a good officer who can refrain from corruption, bribery, and collusion with drug dealers.
Huo Qi did indeed beat Song Yuanchao, but times have changed. Back then, Yu Zhengrong was his idol. He read Yu Sir's autobiography every day, determined to become a good policeman like Yu Sir.
He was there at the time and saw Song Yuanchao never mention Yu Sir, then shoot him in the head, killing him instantly.
If he could still hold back, he wouldn't be a man.
Now he is not afraid to admit it, saying, "I have already asked your wife to apologize to Song Zai."
But then he added, "That was the year before last. Five or six bodies at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital were cremated without detailed identification papers. When the hospital was undergoing its annual review, the Minister of Health initially blocked the hospital from passing the review, but later the Governor-General made a phone call."
Nie Zhao was almost killed, and after returning, he massacred the Nie family, resulting in the deaths of many people.
The Minister of Health was holding up the annual review, and Yu Zhengrong was in charge of the investigation. Huo Sir was just his errand boy. But there are always people more capable than you. Nie Zhao went to the Governor of Hong Kong and said something, but the matter was suppressed.
That was also a key factor in Huo Sir's long-standing prejudice against Nie Zhao.
Five or six lives were lost just like that. With money and power combined, Nie Zhao could practically control everything in Hong Kong, and Huo Sir was not convinced.
Since Nie Zhao wouldn't let him into the warehouse park, he had to get to the bottom of it today.
He asked directly, then stared intently at Nie Zhao, waiting for a result.
It was clear that Nie Zhao didn't want to face it, but he had no choice but to. He sighed and said, "Inspector Huo is quite persistent. He's been chasing me for so many years, knowing there's no future, but he still keeps going."
Huo Qi said, "In my mind, a true gentleman must not be involved with drugs, and he must not treat human life lightly."
Nie Zhao nodded, but then asked, "So, after investigating for so many years, what have you found out?"
Is there even a question? It's precisely because of his obstruction and lack of cooperation that Huo Qi couldn't investigate the case and couldn't close it.
But Boss Nie slowly took two steps back, crossed his arms, and curled the corners of his lips into a smile: "Still no case solved?"
Huo Qi took a deep breath, just about to argue with the richest man, when he heard him say again, "Then your professional skills are still a bit lacking."
Huo Qi didn't want to press the matter any further, so he asked, "Then can you tell me where Madam Mei and Mei Baoshan went?"
If it weren't for his good mood after learning that his wife was pregnant, Nie Zhao would have continued to string Huo Qi along.
In his view, Huo Sir wasn't a particularly outstanding police officer either; he was just a little better than most of his colleagues—the best of a bad bunch.
He said, "Since you have read Yu Sir's autobiography, you should remember that he wrote about a case in it. It was about a rich man's son who was naughty at a young age and made a false police report. He went to the rich man's house, patiently educated the rich man's son, and thus became close friends with the rich man. I remember that was the first chapter of his autobiography."
Mr. Huo was indeed a loyal reader; he nodded, "Yes."
He added, "I never imagined that you, Mr. Nie, would have read Mr. Yu's autobiography."
Boss Nie slowly loosened his hands, put them in his pockets, took another step forward, and smiled in a slightly eerie way.
With a condescending air, he said, "That wasn't a fake police report, but a murder case. But just like you can't see a person clearly until you personally investigate Inspector Yu's case, you still don't know it was a murder case, do you?"
Because Nie Zhao reported to the police that someone was trying to kill his mother, Nie Rong became good friends with Yu Zhengrong, who was in charge of investigating the case.
But not long after, his mother, Han Yuzhu, passed away.
Yu Sir proudly wrote about that case in his autobiography, and Nie Zhao wished he could kill him with his own hands.
If Song Yuanchao hadn't taken down Inspector Yu with a single shot, Nie Zhao wouldn't have tolerated his little schemes with Chen Rou.
Of course, now that he's dead and his ashes are gone, Inspector Huo is just spouting empty words and trying to achieve a spiritual victory. There's no way he'll get to the bottom of it. Nie Zhao is only offering him some pointers because he's in a good mood. Whether he understands or not is up to him.
Looking at his watch, Nie Zhao felt a growing sense of urgency.
Although he knew that Chen Rou was in the warehouse park and most likely with Chen Ke, he was sure she would be alright.
But she's pregnant. Pregnant women shouldn't stand for long periods of time. It's been 20 minutes already. Haven't they finished talking yet?
...
Chen Ke refused Chen Rou's help for a simple reason: he was afraid of implicating the Nie family.
His aunt had suffered a lot in her life, and everything he has now is thanks to her.
But who would have thought that the wife he met on a blind date and married would be completely different when he returned home? She could speak English, understood economics, knew about sales, and even knew what service awareness was.
He originally intended to find a female employee who was a good match for someone as rough and unrefined as him.
But on this trip home, he discovered that his employee's wife had transformed into a knowledgeable woman.
She progressed so quickly that Chen Ke openly felt inferior.
The support the Nie family provided to them during the bandit suppression mission goes without saying.
However, the Nie family are businessmen, and Hong Kong is a US dollar settlement zone. The Americans have the Nie family by the throat.
Chen Ke wanted to trade lives for lives, either himself, Yue Zhongqi, or Wang Baodao. If a few people died, the stakes would be raised, and they could take down Gui Touchang.
