Chapter 260 Live broadcast across Hong Kong, the capture of the thief king of the century, this stage is big enough!
After a night of training by Chen Shixian, Le Huizhen decided on the special column.
Starting from the next day, a special report on police dereliction of duty overshadowed the news of Huo Zhaotang's death and once again focused the public's attention on the police station.
At the critical moment, the fat policeman dropped his gun, surrendered, knelt down and begged for mercy. The scene where his police hat was shot off by the thief was specially edited with close-up shots and slow-motion shots of the police hat falling to the ground.
Finally, the picture freezes on the provocative, arrogant and complacent expressions of the thieves.
These two pictures form a huge contrast.
It was like a hot slap in the face of the police.
It sparked a huge social outcry.
At the end of the special report, there is also a topic about Hong Kong politics.
It has nailed the police to the pillar of shame.
Especially on the streets, the on-the-spot interviews with citizens were completely merciless.
"Excuse me, what do you think about the Canton Road Century Thief King case?"
Le Huizhen tied her hair into a high ponytail, wore casual clothes, walked on the street, and started random interviews.
"Fuck your mother, you are a policeman, not a loser, you hold a gun, what are you scared of?"
"We taxpayers pay taxes, not to support this kind of rubbish. He kneels before a thief and has no backbone. If my mother saw this, she would be so angry that she would jump out of her coffin and scold him!"
"The police are supposed to protect ordinary citizens. If those with guns are so cowardly, how can Hong Kong Island be safe?"
"Give the gun to my grandmother, she dares to go up and fight the thief king, but she can't use the gun, kneel down to your mother!"
"The Hong Kong police are scoundrels and trash!"
…
An old man in his forties, drinking reed root water, his face red, cursing and talking nonstop.
"Old man, this is a TV interview that will be on the news, please use polite language."
Le Huizhen looked embarrassed and quickly reminded him.
"Oh, it's going to be on TV, I don't know, then don't edit the previous part in."
"Ask again."
"Let me organize my words."
The old man screwed on the lid of the reed water, straightened his shirt, and said hurriedly.
"Excuse me, what do you think about the Canton Road Century Thief King case?"
Le Huizhen then cooperated and asked again.
“Ahem.”
The old man cleared his throat and said seriously: "Although there are some flaws in the police's operation this time, the merits outweigh the flaws. We believe that the police will be able to bring the thief king to justice and restore peace to Hong Kong Island!"
After that, he asked slyly, "Are you done recording?"
"It's finished."
Le Huizhen nodded.
"spit!"
"Fuck them, I give them a shit, they treat their police like this, they are such a failure, such a waste..."
The old man's true nature was exposed again, and he started to curse and scold the police.
“…”
Le Huizhen was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Although this piece of news was funny, it represented the true voice of the people of Hong Kong Island.
It's like pointing at the police's nose and scolding them.
The TV station's ratings soared, and the police's public relations department was overwhelmed with complaint calls.
The police's reputation has been ruined, citizens have strong doubts about their abilities, and their authority has been greatly challenged.
On the streets, even the dwarfs did not take the police seriously and did not hide their contempt and ridicule for the police.
This has brought great difficulties to the daily work of the police.
At the same time, it also aroused the police's fighting spirit.
Now, citizens are urgently needed to prove that their police are not cowards!
We need to clear our own names and restore the reputation of the police.
We must arrest the thief king and close the case as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if things continue like this, the prestige of the police will plummet.
The police made a big move and searched everywhere. The situation in Hong Kong became even more tense, but there was still no trace of the thief king.
Central Police Station, Zhang Wenyao’s office.
“Ring, ring, ring!”
Zhang Wenyao's private phone rang.
"Side position?"
After the call was connected, Chen Shixian's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sir Zhang, the thief king and his gang are now on the 21st floor of Guangchang Building."
"Congratulations, you can prepare to make contributions now."
Chen Shixian's smiling voice made Zhang Wenyao's heart tighten. The plan was about to begin.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
"If everything goes according to plan, I promise the credit will be yours, understand?"
"kindness!"
Zhang Wenyao listened to the threatening words, responded softly, and hung up the phone.
He picked up the landline on the table and called his superior Luo Zhihui: "Superintendent, I received a tip that the whereabouts of the three thieves have been found..."
"Great! This tip comes at the perfect time. I will report it to my superiors immediately!"
Luo Zhihui was extremely surprised.
He is the Assistant Commissioner of Police and looks very similar to Jiang Tiansheng, but is more efficient and upright than Jiang Tiansheng.
After the call, senior police officers attached great importance to it and immediately convened an emergency meeting at the General Administration.
Sitting at a long conference table were all senior officials at the level of the Constitutional Commission, and the three deputy directors were all present.
This kind of scene only occurs when the top leaders raise their hands.
The fact that so many senior police officers gathered together for one case is enough to show the impact of this case.
The first person at the conference table on the left was Li Wenbin, deputy director of the Operations Department. He wore silver-rimmed glasses. Through the lenses, his eyes were like an eagle, and he was intimidating without even being angry.
Next to him sat the well-mannered and scholarly Liu Jiehui from the management office.
Across the table was Deputy Director Zhuo Jingquan, who was in charge of the Security Department. He looked very slick and more like a social businessman than a senior police officer.
Next came Fang Jiexia, head of the Public Relations Department, with her hair neatly piled high.
The white uniform makes her look even more capable.
Her tall stature and outstanding appearance made her stand out among the boring men.
Further back, there were Assistant Commissioner of Police Luo Zhihui, as well as CEO Huang Bingyao and Zhang Wenyao.
In a meeting of this level, Zhang Wenyao has the lowest rank.
A team of this level shows the seriousness and importance of the incident at this time.
“Crunch!”
The door opened, and Director Cai Yuanqi, now the top boss, came in person to preside over the meeting.
He was about to abdicate in a few months, and did not want to leave such a huge stain on his career before the end.
Cai Yuanqi's temples were gray, but he was full of vigor. He walked quickly to the main seat and sat down. He swept his sharp eyes over the crowd and spoke slowly:
"Everyone, the briefing you have on hand is very detailed about the details of the case. With so much public attention paid to it, everyone is well aware of it, so I will not go into detail about the case."
"Given the wide scope of public opinion on this case, the severe impact, and the huge amount of money involved, the code name for this operation is "Major Incident"!"
Cai Yuanqi can sit in this position, and his professional level is also first-class. There is no verbosity at all. The whole opening is clean and neat, and he goes straight to the point:
"The whereabouts of the thief king has been identified, and we can capture him at any time to put an end to the crime."
"However, at present, the news of the police officer kneeling has caused huge social public opinion."
"What is urgent now is to re-establish the police force's image of bravery, fearlessness and dedication and restore the reputation of the police force."
"I want to hear what good ideas you have."
Zhuo Jingquan was the first to speak: "Brother Yi, the root of the public opinion is the kneeling military uniform, which affects the image of the team."
“Before we made the arrest, we held a press conference to deal with the officer publicly.”
"He should be severely punished, expelled from the police force, and asked to apologize publicly and admit that it was a personal act and had nothing to do with the police force."
"I don't agree!"
Li Wenbin had a serious expression and was very opposed to letting one person take the blame. He said:
"In that situation, the difference in strength was huge. If the police officer did not surrender, he would die."
"We can sacrifice to protect citizens, but we do not advocate fearless casualties."
"At the scene, the casualties were very heavy. A squad of stormtroopers was almost wiped out."
"These unscrupulous media, instead of reporting on our heroes who sacrificed their lives heroically, seized on this flaw and arbitrarily smeared us."
"This is unfair to the police and it's excessive."
"We should not publicly execute our own people."
Li Wenbin worked his way up from the front line. He had great empathy for these police officers and objected on the spot: "This mistake is the responsibility of the entire police force. We should actively reflect on it."
"Plan the arrest operation carefully, and once the operation is successful, hold a press conference to give the public an explanation, and these negative impacts will naturally disappear."
"Mr. Li, the public opinion outside is overwhelming right now. Even if we hold a press conference after the operation, it may not be able to suppress it."
Zhuo Jingquan chuckled and retorted disdainfully.
"This action, after all, was instigated by those media. Madam, your public relations department can send a letter asking these media to stop reporting false information!"
"We must cut off this kind of public opinion at its root."
Li Wenbin glanced at Fang Jiexia and spoke in a loud voice.
"Sorry, sir, what the media released were all real footage from the scene. Hong Kong Island abides by the rule of law. There is no violation of the law. We cannot stop it even if we send a letter."
“And the judge will side with them.”
"Besides, if we use force to suppress it, it will be counterproductive."
"The more we try to cover up, the more obvious it becomes. It will only make citizens more suspicious of us, and our credibility will be further weakened."
Fang Jiexia said in embarrassment.
"Madam, we the police can indeed cover up the facts, but we can let the media help us to highlight the facts."
Liu Jiehui pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "We can let the kneeling police officer appear on camera to weaken his police identity. He can be shown as an ordinary person with his wife and children to win the sympathy of the citizens."
"Let everyone realize that, apart from his identity, he is just an ordinary person."
"In addition, we should ask the media to cooperate with our police and release the footage of the robbery scene and the desperate struggle of the police to prove that we have not neglected our duties."
Cai Yuanqi nodded: "That's fine, but it's not enough."
"Brother Yi, Sirs, I have an immature idea."
Zhang Wenyao spoke actively.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"you say!"
Cai Yuanqi encouraged.
"The media released footage of the thieves provoking the police and kneeling down to create a contrast and attract attention."
"If our police force wants to wash away the shame, we need more direct and impactful methods to create greater public opinion and clear our name."
Zhang Wenyao followed the words that Chen Shixian had taught him and said righteously: "Now that we know the whereabouts of the thief king, the initiative is in our hands."
"Why not plan a live broadcast of the action and put on a show!"
"We will make public our police force's swift and decisive actions, their heroic spirit, and their determination to wipe out the thief king."
"Restore the confidence of the public and restore the reputation of the police force!"
Zhuo Jingquan, Liu Jiehui and others nodded slightly. This plan was indeed the most intuitive and effective.
"Very good, Sir Zhang, not only did you find the thief king's hiding place, but you also came up with such a constructive plan, very good!"
"Just do as you say!"
"This time, our police force must put on a nice show!"
Cai Yuanqi was shocked and made the decision on the spot.
The list of people for this operation was finalized on the spot. The commander-in-chief was Li Wenbin from the Operations Department, and the on-site commander was Zhang Wenyao.
Zhang Wenyao took the opportunity to propose that the Flying Tigers and the Stormtroopers be responsible for the operation, with the assistance of the Central and Western District Serious Crime Squad.
The reason is that the Central and Western District Serious Cases had come into direct contact with the thief king Zhang Shihao and had handled the kidnapping case of Mr. He. Although it failed, it was also experience.
Fang Jiexia from the Public Relations Department is responsible for creating momentum and connecting with the media to publicize the action.
Huang Bingyao was responsible for coordinating communications and live broadcast equipment, all of which were provided by Umbrella Corporation.
Everything is ready.
The first live anti-bandit operation in Hong Kong, codenamed "Big Event", officially kicked off.
Soon, Zhang Chongbang, Great White Shark, Situ Jie and other guys in charge of Central District Serious Cases also received orders that there would be a big operation today.
"Very good."
Zhang Chongbang's eyes were full of joy. He had finally gotten involved in the case of the three thieves and was about to get to the truth.
"Chen Shixian, it's time to tear off your mask!"
Great White Shark, Lu Sihui and others were also very excited, as long as the three thieves were captured.
Everything will come to light.
That afternoon, under the command of Li Wenbin, the police went to Guangchang Building in a massive manner, quickly blocked all surrounding roads, set up cordons, evacuated the crowd, and surrounded the entire building.
A large troop carrier was converted into a temporary command center, where Li Wenbin will be in charge.
A shop not far away was requisitioned, and Qiu Gangao and others moved the equipment in and installed computers one by one. This became a temporary broadcasting center.
Fang Jiexia was stationed here and broadcast the situation live to the media.
Representatives and heads of major media outlets all smelled the fishy smell and arrived at the scene, surrounding the outside with their cameras and long guns.
The police took the initiative to hype up the event and live broadcast the major event of the annihilation of the Century Thieves Gang.
News of this level would definitely ignite the entire Hong Kong Island and cause a huge sensation.
No media would miss such an important moment.
This is simply to witness history!
All the journalists were so excited that their blood was boiling. They set up their video cameras and started reporting immediately.
Hong Kong Island is not big, and through media hype, this arrest operation attracted the attention of countless citizens.
After all, this kind of thing has never happened before.
Everyone gathered in front of the TV, staring at the screen intently, more excited and expectant than watching the World Cup.
At this moment, downstairs of Guangchang Building.
The guys from the Flying Tigers, Stormtroopers, and Serious Crime Squad are all on standby and making final preparations.
"Everyone, you are all carefully selected elites. This operation will be broadcast live throughout. Please be sure to show your best side."
"Let's spread the word about the bravery, professionalism and trustworthiness of our police force!"
"Now, the person in charge of the Umbrella Security Company will distribute the equipment to everyone."
Zhang Wenyao took a half step back and gave his seat to Chen Shixian.
When Zhang Chongbang saw Chen Shixian again, it was actually at the action scene. He was very surprised and his heart sank.
Flop, your hands are long enough.
He was able to get involved in such a large operation. If he continues like this, wouldn’t he have to have connections everywhere?
He looked at Chen Shixian with a cold look in his eyes: This time, you can't escape!
Don't even think about doing anything weird again.
"I'll keep an eye on you!"
Zhang Chongbang raised his index and middle fingers, pointed them at his own eyes and then at Chen Shixian, his lips moving slightly and lip-syncing.
Chen Shixian felt the sharp gaze from Zhang Chongbang, and his lips curled slightly. He didn't take his threat seriously at all.
Such a big drama was prepared for him.
All citizens of Hong Kong will help keep an eye on him!
The collision between Truman's story and the "double standard monster" should be very interesting.
"This is a communicator. This little thing, you put it on your chest. It's actually a camera that can broadcast your real-time video."
“Once everyone has installed and debugged the equipment, it can be used.”
Chen Shixian took the equipment and distributed the explosive beads.
With the help of A-Zu, Umbrella Security Company set up a product research and development department.
All security equipment has been upgraded, and now Umbrella is very powerful in terms of equipment.
Not long ago, Liu Jiehui proposed to upgrade the police force's equipment and apply for 500 million yuan in funds for improvements.
Chen Shixian has long wanted to get a piece of the pie.
If this operation is a great success, it will be much easier for Umbrella Security Company's equipment to enter the police station smoothly.
This time, it was a show put on by the police for the citizens of Hong Kong Island.
It is also a protective umbrella, a show for the police.
At the same time, it was also a show directed by him about Zhang Chongbang...
"Attention all departments, prepare for action!"
Li Wenbin's serious voice came from the communicator.
The nerves of everyone at the scene suddenly became tense. Everyone had a stern expression and stood up straight involuntarily, with a solemn feeling.
Reporters pointed their cameras at them, creating the feeling of a blockbuster movie.
The storm is coming...
