Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 551 0540 [Catch without fail]

"This Chen Zhichao is really crazy!"

"No, he is eager for revenge and is too eager for quick success! Thinking that just detaining Du Yongxiao in the Political Department can force him to obey? He doesn't even think about what Du Yongxiao is doing in the UK!"

Li Luofu had a private conversation in Sir Bailiqu's study.

Sir Bailiqu bit his cigar and said: "The Political Department is under the British MI[-], but Du Yongxiao worked in MI[-] when he was in the UK. No matter whether the Fifth Service or the Sixth Service is a family, do you think the people in the Five Service will agree? Did he touch Du Yongxiao?"

After a pause, "That doesn't count, but what are the black materials that Chen Zhichao is looking for? Du Yongxiao is smuggling arms? Who doesn't know that Du Yongxiao is helping us deal with obsolete weapons in the UK? It is said that Du Yongxiao dominates the British pharmaceutical market. The problem is that Britain is capital. Society, market economy, and competition in this area are simply impeccable!”

Li Luofu also shook his head and said: "He is indeed too impatient! Now he is just trying to scare the snake away - what should we do next?"

Bailiqu smiled and looked back at Li Luofu, "Tell me, why has our British Empire been able to govern Hong Kong for so many years?"

"Uh, this—"

"It's because of public opinion! We control public opinion very well." Bailiqu said, "People's ears are very soft. They will believe whatever you say. Using public opinion is what we British are best at. This time Same thing!"

"Sir, you mean—"

"Why did Du Yongxiao come back? Didn't he want to save Lei Luo's gang? You Chinese people are so affectionate and righteous. But in my opinion, if a ship is about to sink, there is no need to get a few more people to die! Of course , Du Yongxiao wants to die, and I will never stop him!"

"Then we-"

"The news broke that the former Chief Superintendent Gerber did not resign because of physical discomfort, but because of corruption and bribery!"

"what?"

Li Luofu was shocked.

This is a huge thunder, if it explodes——
Shocking!

……

"Former Chief Superintendent Gerber is suspected of corruption and flees the UK!"

"Evidence of Gerber's corruption was discovered and the evidence is conclusive!"

the next day---
Hong Kong, which was originally experiencing heavy rain, was struck by thunder again.

Who would have thought that former Chief Superintendent Gerber, who had voluntarily resigned and went home to recuperate, turned out to be a big corrupt criminal!
Moreover, the Chinese-language "The Tiger" directly published specific evidence of Gerber's bribery. The evidence showed that Gerber once anonymously hid 400 million Hong Kong dollars in HSBC Bank in Hong Kong.

The chief superintendent with a monthly salary of more than 3000 yuan could actually have an income of 400 million yuan. This fact directly sent Gerber into hell.

The anger that Hong Kong people have accumulated for many years was completely exploded by this news.

Corruption is common in the police force, and they have long been used to it, but who would have thought that these officials could be so corrupt.

What is 400 million?
Now the average annual income of a Hong Kong person is less than 400 Hong Kong dollars, and it will take 400 years to save [-] million.

As the anger of the Hong Kong people erupted, influential people from all walks of life came forward and jointly put pressure on the British Hong Kong government. They had only one purpose: "Request the government to strictly investigate corruption in the police force!"

At the same time, those powerless people also came to the government building collectively, held up cards and banners, and began to sit in and petition.

Hong Kong's major media have also begun to fan the flames at this moment, constantly digging up dirt on the Hong Kong police force's collusion with social groups, exploiting citizens, and even openly publishing various intimate "stories" between the "four major detectives" and the "four major social groups."

For a time, the entire Hong Kong Island was in a state of trembling. …

1972 7 Month 19 Day.

Outside the Government House,
Collective petition site——
"Our request is very simple, we just want an explanation! Why does the police force turn a blind eye to the four major associations that harm the public? Why can pink stalls, fancy stalls, and gambling stalls survive in Hong Kong's underground society?"

"We are not targeting anyone on purpose! We just want to know the truth!"

"Lei Luo, how did Yan Xiong and the other four detectives collude with the four major societies? It is said that Lei Luo and the lame hao call themselves brothers in private - we want to know whether they are brothers who colluded with the police and gangsters. Or are we really as close as family?”

Faced with reporters on the scene, the petitioners expressed their demands one after another.

"So now as the media, what can we do to help you?"

"We need your media support!"

"Yes, we demand that all the properties of the four major detectives and senior police officers be disclosed! And let them tell the source of the properties!"

When the reporter heard this, he turned to face the camera: "Did you hear it? This is the people's demands! Did you see it? This is the people's anger! If the anger continues, Hong Kong Island will never have peace!"

As the media continued to fan the flames, under the guidance of caring people, more people gathered together, chanted slogans and began to march and demonstrate, and finally sat in petition towards the Hong Kong Governor's Office.

In just three days, more than 3000 people blocked the gate of the Hong Kong Governor's Office, and the number is still increasing.

Some of them carried tent food, and some simply sat on the ground, drinking water and eating bread, working hard to petition and fight.

Government House————
Hong Kong Governor MacLehose clasped his hands behind his back and looked melancholy at the sit-in petitioners outside.

The secretary of the Hong Kong government stepped forward and said: "The number of people is four to five hundred more than yesterday! If this continues, it will soon exceed five thousand!"

"5000 people are petitioning? How many people are there in total in Hong Kong? It is not easy to break through [-]. It seems that the public is very angry this time!" MacLehose said distressedly, "It seems that we must give them an explanation this time."

"Then what you mean is-"

"You go to the secretary's office to draft the draft. I will hold a press conference and select ten nominal representatives from the petition team. Tell them that I will listen to their opinions with an open mind and respond accordingly."

"understand!"

The secretary took the order and went down.

They are very familiar with this political trick.

After the secretary left, Hong Kong Governor MacLehose immediately called Sir Bailiqu, who was in charge of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Bailiqu has been waiting for this call for a long time. As the "initiator" of this demonstration and the Hong Kong government's sit-in petition, he has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Sir Bailiqu, I may have something to trouble you next!" Although MacLehose knew that this old fox was probably behind this, he had to speak politely at this moment.

"I give you and the Independent Commission Against Corruption the greatest power! Yes, you heard it right, it is the greatest power! And what you have to do is to catch those black sheep of the police force. It is best to find a few representative ones and punish them severely. Loan! You know, this is the only way to quell public anger."

"Yes! Lord Governor! But -" Bailiqu smiled slightly on the phone, "If the level is very high, such as Chief Superintendent -"

MacLehose frowned and hesitated: "I'll catch you!"
