When Cai Jiabing heard Fang Lang's request, he did not dare to refuse, and quickly gave Fang Lang a detailed explanation of what he knew about the underworld in Hong Kong.
Fang Lang was listening and drinking with great interest, as if he was listening to a storytelling. This made Qi Qingshan shake his head, not understanding why he should care about such a thing.
Reinhardt was even more impatient and kept looking at his watch, his expression becoming more and more ugly. Finally, after more than thirty minutes had passed.
Then a few police cars slowly stopped at the intersection of Stanley Street. However, after the police cars stopped at the intersection, a group of police officers got out of the cars, took out their weapons, and pointed them at the crowd holding submachine guns in the middle of the street from a distance, but they did not dare to move forward.
This made Reinhardt even more angry. He never expected that the Hong Kong City police would be so incompetent that they didn't even dare to rush forward even when they arrived at the scene.
Fang Lang saw this, smiled and comforted Reinhardt:
"Don't mind me, Reinhardt. The Hong Kong police are only using .38 caliber revolvers. When they don't understand the situation here, this is the safest way for them to behave.
If they really come at you without a care in the world, you should be ashamed.”
Hearing this, Reinhardt thought about it and seemed to feel that Fang Lang had some truth in what he said, so he slowly calmed down. He glanced at the fully armed guards around him, and seemed to be a little worried that the Hong Kong City police would really rush over and engage in a gunfight with Fang Lang's soldiers, which would be difficult to resolve.
...
...
He quickly spoke again:
"So what should we do now? Should I go over and tell them what's going on here, so that these guys don't get into a conflict with your people without knowing the consequences."
Fang Lang glanced at the policeman who was hiding behind the police car in the distance and didn't dare to show his head. He smiled and said nonchalantly:
“No, they are more nervous than we are right now. If we go over there, they might be too nervous and something unexpected might happen.
Let's wait for them to calm down and let the responsible person come out to deal with it! Or see if there are any brave people among them who dare to come over and talk to us."
Fang Lang's words made Reinhardt's eyes light up. It was not that he thought that no accidents would happen, but he felt that there would definitely be brave people among the Hong Kong City police who would stand up and come in to talk to them, and such people would definitely be British.
Because, in his mind, the British are fearless, and only the British have the right to speak out.
"Well then! Tell your guards to be careful and not cause any unnecessary misunderstandings. We are all family. It would be bad if something unexpected happened later."
Hearing this, Fang Lang looked at Reinhardt with a smile on his face. He didn't know whether this guy was worried about their safety or the safety of the British police opposite.
He shrugged indifferently and said:
"Don't worry! My people are all good, there won't be any accidents."
He couldn't guarantee that all the British police were experts, but he could guarantee that if any accidents occurred, his people would definitely wipe out all the British police on the scene without hesitation.
As for what the consequences of doing so would be, they simply would not care, because the purpose of their existence was to protect Fang Lang's safety. Once someone threatened Fang Lang's safety, his guards would definitely not show mercy.
After listening to Fang Lang's words, Reinhardt felt a little relieved. He sat down with Fang Lang and waited for further actions from the Hong Kong City police.
However, after waiting for five or six minutes, there was no movement from the other side. Instead, it seemed that there was a lack of consensus among the other side, and faint sounds of a dispute could be heard. This made Reinhardt angry and ashamed.
However, when the police on the other side arrived at the scene, they saw armed figures holding submachine guns in the distance under the dim street lights of Stanley Street, and they were a little at a loss.
They had known that there would be a conflict on Stanley Street tonight, but it was just a turf war between two local groups, and they had also used their connections to get their permission.
So they were originally prepared to pretend that nothing had happened, and the victorious party would naturally clean up the mess and not leave them with any trouble.
Who knew that gunshots were suddenly heard here, which made the senior management of the Central Police Station very angry, and many police officers who were resting at home were recalled to the police station.
At the police station, the policeman in charge of liaison with the 14K had already been scolded. They originally thought that it was just a fierce conflict between the two sides and the use of firearms, so they planned to arrange for the policeman in charge of liaison to go to the scene to deal with it.
Who would have thought that before the meeting was over, the sound of gunfire from the execution of Haozi was heard at the police station again. Even the Chief Commissioner of the Central Police Station could no longer sit still. He became furious and decided not to give any face to the 14K who had just paid tribute to them. He wanted to bring people to the scene and bring everyone back to the police station.
Unless a huge ransom is paid and a few wanted men are handed over to take the blame, this matter will not be over.
But when their large group of people arrived at the scene, they were stunned when they saw the situation.
What is going on? Dozens of fully armed men holding automatic weapons surrounded a group of people in the middle of the street. This is clearly beyond the scope of a gang fight.
At the same time, a group of policemen looked at each other and dared not step forward.
Anyone who is not stupid will understand that the current situation is beyond their control. Who would dare to rush up and seek death before finding out the identity of the other party? Isn't this just asking for death?
Therefore, everyone huddled behind the police car and observed the situation on Stanley Street from a distance. In fact, there were not many police cars in the Hong Kong City Police Department during this period. Except for the director who had a special car, most people traveled in military trucks and bicycles.
But this time when they arrived at the scene, the police station still drove all their vehicles over. After all, this was a gun-related case and they had to take it seriously.
The person in charge of the team this time was a British superintendent from the Central Police Station, named Nottingham Jones. A superintendent is considered a senior official among the Hong Kong police, and can serve as the head of a headquarters department or a regional director.
This period is a height that Chinese police officers cannot reach.
But this senior officer of the Hong Kong City Police was very angry at the moment, and he yelled at a Chinese policeman who was about 50 years old beside him:
"Yao Mu, you bastard, didn't you say it was just a gang fight for territory? Open your dog eyes and take a good look. Is this a fight for territory?"
The man called Yao Mu was the first Chief Chinese Inspector appointed by the Hong Kong City Police Department in July 1949. The four most famous inspectors in history were still struggling at the bottom of the police force during this period, and some of them had not even joined the Hong Kong City Police Force.
As the Chief Chinese Inspector of the Hong Kong Police Force, Yao Mu has great power. If a gang like the 14K wants to redivide its territory, they must first contact Yao Mu and make arrangements.
The reason why Yao Mu supported the 14K was because they were originally in the same camp. As early as 1912, Yao Mu served as the battalion commander of the Shizi Battalion under Chen Jiongming of the Guangdong government.
Later, because the commander and chief of staff of the Shizi Camp repeatedly disobeyed orders and disrupted public order, they were shot by Chen Jiongming, and the Shizi Camp was forced to disband.
Yao Mu drifted to Hong Kong City and joined the Hong Kong City Police Force in 1919 at the age of 24.
After nearly three decades of hard work, Yao Mucai became the first Chief Chinese Detective of Hong Kong, and it can be said that he enjoyed a period of glory.
But today, this once glorious Chief Chinese Detective was severely slapped in the face.
The originally planned land grab has turned into an unmanageable situation, and for a moment he doesn't know what to do.
Now that the British were furious with him, he could only bite the bullet and say:
“Sir, I don’t know what happened, but I’m sure this is definitely not something that the Hehetu and 14K can do. They definitely don’t have such a strong power.
Also, the gunmen I saw did not appear to be of Chinese descent.”
Nottingham Jones was furious when he heard Yao Mu say that the gunman did not look like Chinese. He was also stunned. At first he thought Yao Mu was trying to shirk responsibility.
But at this moment, the other party obviously couldn't lie. He couldn't help but turn his head and lie down behind the car, looking far away through the gap in the window. Under the dim light, there were several figures holding guns who looked obviously white.
This made him feel very puzzled. He didn't understand what had happened. How did the agreed redivision of the territory turn out like this?
However, one thing is certain, an accident must have happened at the scene. He couldn't help but look at Yao Mu, the chief Chinese detective, again.
"Yao Mu, who do you think the other person is?"
Hearing that Nottingham Jones' tone seemed to have eased a little, Yao Mu also breathed a sigh of relief. After secretly taking a look at the situation on Stanley Street, Yao Mu simply shook his head.
"Sir, I don't know who these people are.
However, the other side's weapons look very advanced and of a uniform design. I feel like these people may be professional soldiers."
Nottingham Jones pondered for a moment after hearing this, and recalled what he had just seen. It seemed to be similar to what Yao Mu said.
"If the other party is a professional soldier, why would they use guns in Hong Kong? Isn't this challenging the authority of our Hong Kong police?
Aren't you afraid that we will mobilize the army to wipe them out?"
Obviously no one could answer his question, and Yao Mu could only look at the other person.
Seeing everyone give their own answers, Nottingham Jones thought for a while and said:
"Yao Mu, go out and talk to them. Find out who they are and what they want to do."
Hearing this, Yao Mu was shocked. The people opposite him were a group of foreigners armed with guns. Asking him to go over and negotiate with them, wasn't that courting death?
If he was young, he would still dare to fight, but now, he has just been promoted to Chief Chinese Inspector, he is over 50 years old, and he will not stay in the police force for many years. It is time to enjoy the benefits of power. He is unwilling to continue to risk his life.
However, now that the superior had called his name, he couldn't just refuse. He thought for a moment and quickly came up with a solution.
"Sir, I'm Chinese and I don't know any foreign language! I can't communicate with the other side if I go over there! How can I find out the situation?"
Nottingham Jones also thought this made sense. He also knew that Yao Mu didn't know English, so it was really useless in the past.
He could only turn his gaze elsewhere and shouted to the police hiding behind the car:
"The armed gangsters on the other side are a group of foreigners. I need a brave man who is familiar with English to stand up and talk to them to find out what they want to do.
Is there anyone willing to sign up? "
Hearing this, all the policemen lowered their bodies, and dared not look in the direction of Nottingham Jones, for fear of being seen by him.
This result made Nottingham Jones angry. He knew that most Chinese police officers did not speak English, so he could only shout again in English to the British police officers.
But the British police officers were obviously unwilling to take such a big risk. After all, if they looked at the opponent's weapons and then looked at their own weapons, anyone who was not a fool would know who was more powerful.
Nottingham Jones was very annoyed that no one was willing to step forward after shouting twice in a row. But he also knew that this mission was indeed dangerous, and even he did not dare to show his head out.
But it was obviously not feasible to continue the confrontation like this. After a little thought, he looked at the dodging British police again and shouted in English:
"Which warrior takes the initiative to carry out this mission? After returning, I will apply to the Commissioner of Police to reward him with a double-rank promotion."
