Chapter 166: Atonement for Sins
Jian Ruochen looked at the three lines of words, his expression blank for a moment.
This is actually something sent by Xu Tuo?
Xu Tuo and Lu Rong broke up, so... could all these papers in here also be evidence of Lu Rong's guilt?
But apart from being stubborn and refusing to admit to espionage and financial crimes, what other crimes did Lu Rong commit?
Guan Yingjun flipped through the remaining A4 papers in the foam box. Apart from a few papers folded into small squares that seemed to be wrapped in something, there was nothing fishy about it.
Due to the confidentiality regulations of the case, he did not continue reading the letter. Instead, he picked up the box and thanked the people from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Department. He handed a box of cigarettes to the team leader, took Jian Ruochen back to the Serious Crime Unit, pinned the letter to the whiteboard with a magnet, and read it together with the members of Group A.
Xu Tuo said in the letter:
After he packed the package and completed the mailing procedures, he prepared to submit his resignation to Lu Rong.
If Lu Rong intended to shoot and silence the witness, then no one would be able to intercept the package and it would arrive safely at the West Kowloon Crime Unit.
The package contained all the movements of the Lu family from top to bottom in recent years.
When Lu Jingchen attacked Jian Ruochen's mother, Crystal Gwendolin Conant, he communicated with Oliver Keith about the method of committing the crime. The letters were wrapped in A4 paper and placed in a small paper package numbered ①.
Xu Tuo wrote: When I left these letters, I just wanted to leave myself a way out in case of emergency. I didn't expect that I would use them. I feel really ashamed.
Jian Ruochen looked at the words on the whiteboard and suddenly found it ridiculous.
Police fight evil.
Evil is also fighting against evil.
Hong Kong was in such chaos from the 1970s to the 1990s.
Human life seems to be the least valuable thing here.
Zhang Xingzong took out the paper package No. 1 from the parcel and opened it. Sure enough, he saw the yellowed and crisp letter paper inside.
The blue ink has oxidized a bit, giving off a mineral luster.
Jian Ruochen took out a high-transparency sealed bag and sorted them out one by one before continuing to read.
The letter also said:
Lu Rong had frequent contacts with the intelligence organization stationed by the British Hong Kong in Hong Kong and provided convenience to the intelligence organization.
Mr. Kan was a thorn in the side of the British forces in Hong Kong, and the two sides hit it off and wanted to cooperate to kill Kan Ruochen.
Therefore, after Lu Rong got the MI6 secret files, he began to spread benzodiazepine in Hong Kong University, creating an opportunity for Oliver Keith to drug him, intending to kill him.
Xu Tuo said that he was the middleman who helped Lu Rong contact MI6, and was also the one who arranged for benzodiazepine to flow into Hong Kong University.
When he wrote this, as if afraid that Xi Jiulong would not believe him, he added:
[Li Feiquan has a younger brother who is jealous of the huge profits from drugs and illegal medicines. His name is Cao Youfang. Lu Rong asked me to contact him and trade drugs with him by laying a mine. Cao Youfang has never seen what I look like. We usually communicate with disposable phone cards, so you should not be able to find out my characteristics and name in the interrogation room. 】
[But I left a photo of Cao Youfang picking up the goods, which is enough to prove the authenticity of what I said. The photos are in paper package No. ②. Also in paper package No. ③ is the telephone recording tape left when Lu Rong was trading with the leader of the MI6 intelligence organization, Morklin. And in paper package No. ④ is the recording tape I secretly recorded when Lu Rong met with Oliver Keith for the transaction. 】
【They are all well preserved and have never been damaged. 】
[On the A4 paper marked with a silver paper clip, there is a list of the forces and membership of all the triad members under Lu Qian when he was alive. In addition to the Chaoyi Gang which has disappeared, there are also the Wenhua Society and the Hongmen Society which have become demoralized. 】
[The West Kowloon Regional Police Station can find people through the addresses on the list, which are the members’ hometowns. 】
The windows of the Serious Crime Unit A were open. It was early spring and the wind outside brought a little warmth, but it made people feel chilly.
This Xu Tuo.
He was not only guarding against Lu Rong.
Also guard against Lu Qian, and even Lu Jingchen!
This package is not a bomb, but it is worse than a bomb.
Ding Gao was breathing heavily, almost dizzy, "What did he mean?"
He was shot in the back and was rescued by the Lu family's bodyguards. He rushed to Queen Mary Hospital and, as if he had calculated the time well, sent the evidence before West Kowloon was about to summon Lu Rong for interrogation again.
Now Lu Rong has no way to reduce his sentence by confessing.
Xu Tuo calculated every step.
Better than Lu Rong.
"Xu Tuo threw so many baits, he must have some requirements that are difficult for others to complete." Jian Ruochen whispered, "Let's see what happens next."
Sure enough, on the next piece of letter, the topic changed.
Xu Tuo said: [Not all the people in the triad are villains. Many of them just work for the Lu family in order to make a living in Hong Kong and don’t want to live like animals. 】
[I am presenting this evidence personally in the hope that after arresting Lu Rong, the Serious Crime Unit of the West Kowloon Police Station will liquidate the confiscated properties and pay the fines, and then divide the remaining money among those on the triad list who have not committed serious crimes. 】
[That is the wages owed by the Lu family.] Lu Rong has no moral principles and is unwilling to respect labor laws. I don't want to be like him and be such a heartless and ungrateful person. 】
[The Kowloon West Regional Police Department should be able to make the decision for these people according to labor laws, right? 】
The letter ended here, without mentioning what Xu Tuo wanted, nor did he mention that he wanted to use this evidence to reduce his sentence.
Jian Ruochen looked strange.
This Xu Tuo even praised the West Kowloon Regional Police Station in his letter! He may not ask for a commutation of sentence, but with this evidence, West Kowloon cannot but credit him with merit.
With such detailed evidence and physical evidence, the West Kowloon Regional Police Station could directly arrest Lu Rong without even having to conduct a trial.
Xu Tuolian can defend against Lu Jingchen, who grew up with him, so it is impossible for him not to be on guard against West Kowloon.
Jian Ruochen turned around and said, "It's been a day since Xu Tuo was sent to Mary Hospital for emergency treatment. How is he now? What about the two bodyguards who sent him there? How are they?"
Zhang Xingzong frowned and thought for a while: "Xu Tuo hasn't woken up yet, and the two bodyguards...hiss...didn't pay much attention."
Guan Yingjun glanced at him and said, "Call and ask."
Zhang Xingzong nodded, walked aside and called the people at Mary Hospital to inquire about the situation. After a few words, his face became gradually hideous and distorted. After hanging up the phone, he said angrily: "Those two bodyguards are being interviewed!"
Zhang Xingzong grabbed the remote control and turned on the TV.
On the screen, a burly man was crying in front of the camera and the reporter's microphone, telling the story of how Xu Tuo turned to the light after being betrayed by others, and risked his life to bring evidence to the West Kowloon Regional Police Station, hoping that West Kowloon would demand wages for the "workers".
Jian Ruochen looked at it and laughed after a long while.
Half angry, half amused.
Xu Tuo did not mention commuting his sentence in any of his letters, but from his actions, every sentence was saying, "I am trying to atone for my crime with merit, and I want a commutation of my sentence."
He was somewhat relieved.
Fortunately, Lu Jingchen was angry to death, otherwise Xu Tuo and Lu Jingchen would control the rear of the Lu family, and it would be unknown when this battle would end.
And now, the overall situation has been decided.
They won.
Once Xu Tuo handed over the evidence, those former henchmen knew that West Kowloon would "collect their wages" for them, and they would never wait for Lu Rong to come back.
At this moment, even if Lu Rong was desperate and wanted to recall the members of the Triad, it would be impossible.
Xu Tuo used his life and all his plans to give them a chance to be good people, and these members would also do things for Xu Tuo out of moral principles.
If West Kowloon does not treat Xu Tuo well, not only will its reputation be damaged, but it will also have an impact on the future.
If Xu Tuo didn't have a good ending, who would dare to use his merits to atone for his sins in the future?
Jian Ruochen sighed: "Lu Rong is really..."
He is cruel but self-willed, and doesn't know how to trust people he employs.
If Lu Rong could use Xu Tuo, the West Kowloon Regional Police Station might not be able to block all his escape routes.
He wanted a clean family business, but he didn't want to give up the benefits brought by the underworld.
How can such a thing be possible in this world?
Lu Rong is the most difficult criminal Jian Ruochen has encountered since joining the Serious Crime Unit of the West Kowloon Regional Police Station.
He lived an ambiguous life, and even with the testimony of witnesses, he was slippery and refused to admit anything.
But now that the physical evidence has piled up, no matter how hard Lu Rong tries to defend himself, there is no chance of escape.
Guan Yingjun brought the foam box to the Forensic Science Department, and together with the Inspector Xiang Jingrong of the Forensic Science Department, they sorted out all the physical evidence inside, confirmed that they were correct, made copies for filing, and then submitted them to their superiors to apply for a search warrant for the Lu family's ancestral home and an arrest warrant for Lu Rong.
Today, the British Hong Kong running dogs and various corrupt officials in the Security Bureau are overwhelmed. Not only do they have to deal with the ferocious ICAC, they also have to deal with Interpol sent by the National Central Bureau of China to investigate.
Many people were demoted to the lowest positions and could no longer find a reason to obtain a search warrant from the Kowloon Regional Police Station.
While waiting for the search warrant and arrest warrant procedures to be completed, Jian Ruochen called Luo Binwen and whispered, "Uncle Luo, the video of the bodyguard who rescued Xu Tuo being interviewed has been released. Please pay attention to the movements of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Lu family's stocks will definitely plummet. See if you can take over the few white industries under his name."
Lu Rong is really good at doing business. He left behind a building materials company, an entertainment company, and a real estate company that owns a small amount of land.
They are all fat pieces with great prospects.
If you don’t grab it now, when will you?
At eight o'clock in the evening, the search warrant and arrest warrant applied for by the West Kowloon Regional Police Station were successfully obtained, and Team A was ready to go.
at the same time.
Lu's house.
Lu Rong also saw what was on TV.
He was sitting in the living room, and suddenly looked at the shivering maid beside him, and asked with a smile: "Do you have a role in saving Butler Xu?"
The maid said tremblingly: "I didn't, I...I was not on duty that day."
Half of the servants in Lu's residence have been missing these days. It turns out that they ran away with Butler Xu!
If, if she was there.
She won't come again.
Lu Rong sighed, "There are not many people left in the Lu family, do you want to leave?"
He looked around, his eyes falling on everyone in the living room, "Do you all want to leave?"
No one dared to answer.
The interview on TV stated clearly that Butler Xu handed in his resignation and was shot in the back before he even stepped out of the study door. It was the other two bodyguards he brought up who risked their lives to rescue him.
Even Butler Xu couldn't get away with it, so who else dares to tell the truth?
Lu Rong stood up and said, "My father has done you a favor."
He went to the study, opened the safe, took out all the cash inside, and placed them on the coffee table in the living room in dozens. "If you want to leave, take the money and go."
In the living room, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
What's the meaning?
Can you really leave?
The maid couldn't help but take a step forward, but froze when she met Lu Rong's gaze and said slowly, "Mr. Lu, I'll get you a cup of coffee."
Lu Rong sneered imperceptibly, "No, you're off work, let's go."
The maid's breathing paused slightly. As she was hesitating, a man walked in at the door of Lu's house.
It was the secretary who was helping Lu Rong to temporarily manage his business.
He walked hurriedly with several folders under his arms. Before he reached Lu Rong, two of the folders slipped down and the documents fell to the ground. One of them slid on the ground and landed at Lu Rong's feet.
He picked it up and opened it, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Looking at the chart, it turned out that Lu's stock price plummeted. Conant took the opportunity to short Lu's and acquired three industries!
The secretary breathed rapidly, not caring about Lu Rong's bad reputation, and shouted, "Mr. Lu, what should we do now?"
Lu Rong's mind went blank for a moment. Too many things happened today.
He couldn't imagine that Xu Tuo had so many backup plans, couldn't imagine that Jian Ruochen would be so decisive, and couldn't imagine how he would deal with it when he only had money left.
Those three companies were his last straw. After realizing that his money had nowhere to go, he injected at least one-third of his funds into them.
Now, it’s gone?
Lu Rong opened his mouth and subconsciously grabbed the coffee that was left at the bottom of the cup and took a sip. The cold liquid passed through his throat, choking him and causing him to cough.
His eyes turned red, and he said in a hoarse voice: "To the Triad..."
Lu Rong stopped. Xu Tuo had completely blocked this way back. Now no one would be willing to contact him again.
He paused for a while, and his energy suddenly relaxed. "Reward..."
Lu Rong's eyes went dark. "I want a reward for someone to help me pass the level."
The secretary was stunned, "You..."
Don’t care about the life and death of Lu Group’s employees?
The words were not uttered.
There were three polite knocks at the door.
Everyone looked up and saw Jian Ruochen, who was wearing combat uniform with a West Kowloon identity card hanging around his neck, and Guan Yingjun standing beside him.
He held up a piece of paper with a red seal on it and smiled at the people in Lu's house, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, we didn't see any bodyguards or security guards, so we had to come in without permission."
Jian Ruochen smiled particularly sincerely, "cid did it, this is an arrest warrant."
Lu Rong's face turned ashen and his lips turned pale.
He showed no sign of panic, but his whole body was stiff and trembling like a crumbling stone statue.
It was too late for him to make his last move.
