Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 235 It’s not easy to win people’s hearts!
Operation Crouching Tiger is progressing in an orderly manner, and the first batch of Crouching Tiger members have been dispersed by Zhou Quan.

From a police officer on the surface to an undercover police officer.

Zhou Quan's reason for arranging these young police officers to leave the police force was simple, just to blame them all on the Political Department.

With the abolition of the Political Department, there are many intelligence agents under MI5 within the police force.

Either change their identity and leave Hong Kong Island, or be transferred to an ordinary department of the police force to continue working.

Taking advantage of the disbandment of the Political Department, it would be easy for Zhou Quan to arrange for a group of people to withdraw from the police force.

At this point, Zhou Quan, who had been busy for nearly half a month, finally relaxed a little.

On Saturday's rest day, although Zhou Quan did not leave the West Kowloon headquarters, he finally did not continue to be busy at work.

In the gun room of the training building of Company B of the Mobile Force, Zhou Quan and Ou Yong'en sat side by side in the observation room of the shooting range.

Through the glass window, I could see five young people concentrating on shooting training on the shooting range.

It was shot from this shooting range with a Browning.

Therefore, whenever Zhou Quan comes to this shooting range on his day off, many anti-gangster police officers will shamelessly come to take lessons.

Aged police officers need to spend time with their families.

From the three senior inspectors to the young police officers.

Regardless of their ability, means, or future achievements, they will never be weaker than the Seven Crouching Tigers who were just sent out by him.

Last year, Zhou Quan would train Guan Zu and Peng Yixing at this shooting range from time to time.

During normal breaks, Zhou Quan would train Guan Zu and Peng Yixing as long as there was nothing important.

The last person was Zhuang Ziwei, who was transferred to the anti-triad group C in the second half of last year and was accepted as a disciple by Miao Zhishun.

His boss personally taught him how to shoot, and the anti-gang police officers were naturally envious of him.

Even younger police officers have their own personal affairs.

Needless to say, Guan Zu and Peng Yixing need not be mentioned. Two of the remaining three people are Chen Zhijie and Ying Changsen, who were awarded the title by him personally.

Guan Zu, Zhou Quan's founding disciple, had three young Yichai who favored him in his direct anti-gang group, and a young San Zai who was transferred to the anti-gang group in the second half of last year.

This situation has already spread throughout the anti-gang group in the entire region.

Only a few people can keep up with Zhou Quan's training as much as possible.

As police officers who face Hong Kong's underworld, if their marksmanship can be improved, this will obviously greatly protect their safety.

Anyway, one sheep is being driven, and two sheep are being herded.

However, not all police officers from the anti-gang group are able to come and participate in training during their breaks.

You know, it was the beginning of Zhou Quan's fame in the West Kowloon Police District.

The brothers under him are open-minded and eager to learn, and Zhou Quan is not stingy in giving advice.

In fact, if we really talk about it, these young people under Zhou Quan.

Guan Zu was determined to have his father salute him, and Peng Yixing followed Zhou Quan and joined the police force because he admired Zhou Quan's tactical movements and marksmanship.

However, Zhou Quan's Operation Crouching Tiger plan did not include several of them.

The reason for this is very simple, that is, the brothers under Sir Zhou.

Even the smallest Sanzai is a figure that the gossips of major societies in West Kowloon need to deal with carefully.

Almost all of them have names within the underworld in Hong Kong Island.

Although in Zhou Quan's heart, Operation Crouching Tiger will become an open secret.

But he obviously would not let outsiders know who the members of Operation Crouching Tiger were.

The youngest and most capable brother under Sir Zhou, why don't you give up your promising future and join the club instead?

This situation is not normal no matter how you look at it.

Those young and Dangerous guys are not idiots, and it is impossible for young police officers like the anti-gangster group to take over.

It is precisely because of this that none of the young police officers in Zhou Quan's anti-gang group was included in the list of Operation Crouching Tiger.

The shooting range was in full swing, and gunshots were fired continuously.

But inside the observation room, the atmosphere seemed a little quiet.

The building of the West Kowloon headquarters uses very solid materials. This observation room is a place specially provided for police captains to observe target practice training.

Even though the windows on the front are large, they have been specially treated.

The multi-layer thickened tempered glass can not only effectively prevent accidents caused by stray bullets, but also has a very significant sound insulation effect.

No matter how fierce the gunfire outside the shooting range is, it will not affect the silence inside the observation room.

At this moment, Zhou Quan was sitting relaxedly on the chair, but his brows could not help but frown slightly.

This was not because there was something wrong with Guan Zu and Peng Yixing's marksmanship training, but because Zhou Quan was thinking about other things.

Those who do not plan for the overall situation will not be able to plan for a region, and those who do not plan for the eternity will not be able to plan for a moment.

Zhou Quan plans to establish an independent foundation to stabilize the worries of his Crouching Tiger members.

Now that Operation Crouching Tiger has officially begun, the foundation's affairs naturally need to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

In a short period of time, Zhou Quan didn't have to worry too much.

After all, he had just sent out the Crouching Tiger members, so it was impossible for someone to be unlucky immediately.

But obviously the earlier you prepare for this kind of thing, the better.

If a member of Crouching Tiger really dies unfortunately, it cannot be solved by Zhou Quan paying a sum of money to the family members of the brothers who died in the line of duty.

In this process, procedures that comply with the laws of Hong Kong Island are essential.

You know, among the disciplinary forces on Hong Kong Island, there is also an Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Zhou Quan, who has now reached the constitutional committee level, must undergo strict character assessment and background checks every year.

Unexplained fund transactions will inevitably become a major stain on Zhou Quan.

Even if he can prove that the funds were taken care of by the families of the brothers who died in the line of duty.

However, this kind of private-to-private transfer without formal institutions will also trigger the ICAC's anti-bribery regulations.

Of course, when a superior gives money to his subordinates, there is no bribery at all.

But this will involve another result, that is, the Independent Commission Against Corruption will suspect that Zhou Quan is building an improper interest exchange organization.

In the early 1970s, the main reason for the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption was to investigate improper intercourse of interests within the police force.

At that time, corruption in the police force was extremely serious, and there was a very strict division of fees across the police force.

Inspector Zonghua, who is known as the 500 million detective, divides the black money obtained from corruption into layers.

The ghost guys above and the ordinary police officers below were all brought into his own rules and network of relationships.

Zhou Quan's current situation is essentially no different from that of the 500 million detective.

In the final analysis, both of them are trying to win people's hearts.

However, Zhou Quan does not need to pay bribes to his superiors, and his sources of funds are well documented.

But why would the Independent Commission Against Corruption care about this?
Moreover, investigating police captains has always been the ICAC's favorite thing.

Even if Zhou Quan's funding sources are normal and legal, the Independent Commission Against Corruption can label him as someone who wants to win over the hearts and minds of grassroots police officers and threaten the stability of the police force.

This crime is so serious that even the family behind Zhou Quan cannot protect him.

Although Zhou Quan's plan to take special care of the Crouching Tiger members was essentially to win over people's hearts for his future faction.

But he obviously had to find a reasonable and legal reason for his actions.

In this way, a foundation that is suitable for Hong Kong Island is indispensable.

No matter whether it is Zhou Quan's private investment or the foundation, the same result will be obtained in the end.

Those police officers who participated in Operation Crouching Tiger will always be grateful to Zhou Quan.

But according to the ICAC regulations, the difference between the two is illegality and compliance.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is still a question about money.

The former will not go through Hong Kong Island’s tax system, while the latter will need to pay tax.

According to the laws of Hong Kong Island, engaging in charitable activities is certainly tax-free.

But the normal operation of the foundation will undoubtedly increase the tax revenue of Hong Kong Island.
