I am a policeman

Chapter 3 Fees
Before Lei Le, there were not Chinese detectives who had no hands to cover the sky. For example, Chen Zhijian mentioned above rose earlier than Lei Le. The reason why they are not as famous as Lei Le is that Lei Le has formulated a set of practical rules.

In the words of Lei Le in the film, before he became a detective, the protection fees were collected randomly. The police in all Hong Kong can collect money. There are dozens of underground casinos and brothels on every street.

In order to compete for business, there are fights on the street every day, and no one can be caught, resulting in a frighteningly low detection rate.

After Lei Le became the inspector, he and his follower Zhu Youzai made a rule to collect money uniformly.

Make sure that everyone has a business to do and make money, limit street fights between gangs, and sit down to talk about conflicts.

A case occurred, and if the criminal was not caught, the major gangs sent out people to convict him.

Let Xiangjiang's detection rate reach more than 90.00%, which is the highest not only in Asia but also in the world.

Of course, these are superficial. In fact, the safety of Xiangjiang is hard to describe.

Today is the day when the police station issued "fees". At noon, Zhu Youzai drove a commercial vehicle to the gate of the police station and directed two of his subordinates to enter the gate of the Central Police Station with two suitcases.

The original meaning of "fees" refers to the certificate fees, license fees, and registration fees charged by relevant government departments for the registration, registration, and issuance of certificates for citizens, legal persons, and other organizations.

It belongs to a kind of charge with the nature of cost fee charged by modern society when providing special services to some units and individuals. The main purpose of this charge is to compensate for the cost in kind (such as certificate cost, registration account table cost, etc.).

Lei Le and Zhu Youzai called the black money collected by the police force as fees, not only because the name "fees" sounds good, but also because they want the police force to collect black money to form a rule recognized by the upper and lower levels, and even formalize it. the meaning of.

The British set the salaries of the Chinese police so low that everyone couldn't even eat enough to eat, and they were not allowed to earn some extra money to subsidize their families.

Among them, the fees of high-level detectives and senior detectives are all paid by Lei Le himself, because the detectives have a lot of money, and high-ranking detectives need Lei Le to personally come forward to win them over and give them respect.

Compared with the inspector, Lard Boy's status is still a bit low.

Ordinary policemen are different, all lard boys are sent to the police station,
"Brother Zi, here we come!"

Because they go to the police station to distribute money, lard boy is the most popular person in the police station, who doesn't like the God of Wealth.

I saw that he opened the suitcase, and there were a lot of bags in it, big and small, all wrapped in kraft paper. Inside the paper bag was an envelope filled with Hong Kong dollars. with the names of the departments.

Lard boy was laughing and laughing all the way, and handed over the paper packages to the heads of various departments.

The amount of fees in these paper packets has been carefully calculated. Zhu Youzi has a large group of accountants who eat this bowl of rice. According to their calculations, there is almost no mistake in how much no one should take. Sometimes it is a matter of a few dollars. .

"Sheriff Huang, this is yours."

The office of the head of the Uniform Group of the Central Police Station is extremely simple.

There is only one bookcase, one desk, and one armchair.

There were telephones, electric lights, glass ashtrays, and a few books on the desk. The person in charge of the uniform team was doing work. The lard boy pushed them away and walked in with a smile, and handed a thick paper bag to Sergeant Huang.

"Thank you Brother Zi. Would you like to sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving?" Officer Huang smiled as he reached out to take the paper bag.

"No, I still have to go upstairs to deliver the ghost's share. If you want to drink tea, it will be another day." Lard Boy laughed.

"Brother Zi, you're good to go." Officer Huang smiled and sent Lard Boy out of the office.

Then he returned to his seat, took out a thick envelope with his name written on it from the paper bag, looked at it, opened the drawer and put it in, and then called his two confidantes over.

"You send these to Lao Wang, Lao Li, and Lao Zhang." Police officer Huang first took out a few thick envelopes from the paper bag, which were a little thinner than his own, and handed them to confidant B, and the rest Hand it over directly to the confidant.

He said, "Take these and distribute them to the brothers."

"Yes!"

After Lei Le made the rule of distributing the police fees every month, the money was delivered to the door by Lard Zaizhi himself, once a month, and it was never too late.

So there will be no situation where the police take the money in person.

This approach has two advantages.

First, the police force and the underworld were separated, although the money was collected from places such as casinos, four-level movie theaters, pornographic dance halls, and laundry powder shops,
But after turning the lard for a while, it makes it look less black.

The second is to pull everyone into the water together.

If the police are allowed to collect protection fees by themselves, then for the sake of face and conscience, many honest police officers will not only not do it, but will desperately oppose it.

However, it is distributed to each police officer through distribution. For ordinary police, this money is no different from the welfare issued by the police station.
If you don't want the money, you can't do it, because if you don't want it, you will be against everyone around you, and you will be kicked out of the police force directly.

This is also the reason why the British issued an amnesty order later, because the police's behavior of collecting black money has exceeded 90.00%.

"Lei Zi, this is yours."

Back at the police station, he cooperated with Uncle Biao to escort the suspect into the interrogation room. Just as he got back to his place, without even taking a sip of water, someone threw an envelope in front of him.

"This is it." Lei Weidong opened it, and found that it was a stack of banknotes, not much, only 800 yuan, but it was already more than a month's salary for him.

"Uncle Biao, what's the matter with this money? Could it be the reward we just caught the thief." Seeing Uncle Biao coming over, he also held an envelope in his hand, but compared to his own, the envelope in Uncle Biao's hand was much thicker Yes, at least two or three thousand.

"It's a reward, but it's not the reward for catching the thief just now. It belongs to our welfare as a policeman." Uncle Biao put the envelope into his pocket with a smile and said with a smile.

"You can take this money, treat it as your own salary, except that the salary is paid by the ghost, and this money is the welfare that Brother Luo won for us."

"Welfare, it can't be black money, right? There won't be any problems after taking it." Lei Weidong asked cautiously.

"If there is any problem, it will not be our fault. The sky will fall and the tall man will hold it up. We are just ordinary little police officers. If we are punished, there will be no one in the police force."

Seeing the nervous expression on Lei Weidong's face, Uncle Biao patted his shoulder and comforted him.

"Your father is a policeman with a sense of justice. He also received this money. The wages given by the ghost are too low. If we don't earn some extra money, we can't even support our wife and children."
