Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 487: The First Expansion of the Security Department

In the Tai Kwun elevator, Zhou Quan, Guan Wenzhan and others split into two groups.

All administrative team members escorted Chen Fang to the interrogation room of the security department.

The subsequent interrogation work will be fully led by Guan Wenzhan.

As for Zhou Quan himself, he took the elevator directly to the top floor of Tai Kwun and went to Yi Ge's office to report on his work.

"Bang! Bang bang!"

Looking at the open office door in front of him, Zhou Quan still raised his hand to knock on the door first, being as polite as ever.

"A Quan is here?"

The brother sitting behind the desk looked up and a friendly smile appeared on his lips.

"Come sit down and talk!"

The boss pointed to the leather sofa opposite the desk, then waved towards Zhou Quan without any politeness.

"Good morning, sir!"

Zhou Quan first stood at attention and saluted, then sat on the sofa with his upper body as straight as a pine tree.

"Reporting to the commander, our security department has solid evidence of the crime committed by Chen Fang, the director of Interpol's Asia-Pacific Division."

"The other party colluded with various drug lords in the Golden Triangle and the Silver Triangle, and by virtue of the convenience of his position, he secretly became a drug broker in the Asia-Pacific region."

"In addition, our security department has sufficient evidence to prove that Chen Fang is the drug dealer Chen Guang who disappeared six years ago."

"Half an hour ago, our security department launched an operation and successfully arrested Chen Fang in the office building of Interpol's Asia Pacific Branch."

"Because it is not certain at the moment whether there are still Interpol police officers in the Interpol Asia Pacific Division involved in Chen Fang's criminal activities."

"So I gave the order to Superintendent Tuan Cheung-yan of the Interpol Asia Pacific Division in the Hong Kong Island Region to continue to seal off the entire building at the scene of the operation."

After giving a concise and clear report on Chen Fang's situation, Zhou Quan quietly waited for the boss' instructions.

"well done!"

Yi Ge slowly leaned back in his office chair, pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and nodded with a relaxed smile, affirming Zhou Quan's approach.

In fact, I had already received news about what happened in the Asia-Pacific branch of Interpol.

The entire building was directly blocked off. It is no exaggeration to say that a conflict broke out between the Hong Kong Police Force and Interpol.

The police officers stationed there acted quickly, but he, Duan Xiangren, would definitely report the situation to higher authorities.

Out of trust in Zhou Quan and the security department, the big guys, including Yi Ge, did not directly interfere with Zhou Quan's actions when they received the news.

Now that they have heard Zhou Quan's report and know that their police force has all the legal grounds, they will no longer have any objections.

"I will communicate with Interpol headquarters. Your security department will be responsible for screening and identifying all Interpol officers in Hong Kong."

Although the eldest brother's voice was calm, it was filled with an extremely tough attitude.

"Interpol must give the Hong Kong Island Police an explanation for the involvement of law enforcement officers in criminal activities!"

The existence of Interpol's Asia-Pacific branch is actually a stain on the Hong Kong Police Force.

After all, in a truly sovereign power, Interpol headquarters is not allowed to station independent offices.

Don’t underestimate the fact that every country has a national central bureau of Interpol.

But all personnel within the National Central Bureau are members of the country’s law enforcement agencies.

They are first and foremost law enforcers of their own country, and only then are they Interpol officers.

However, due to historical issues, the Interpol Asia Pacific Branch in Hong Kong has always had staff sent from Interpol headquarters. After all, Hong Kong's sovereignty before 1997 was under the rule of the foreigners.

After Hong Kong's return to China, the police force strictly restricted Interpol's law enforcement powers within Hong Kong.

Simply put, without permission, the Interpol police stationed in Hong Kong do not even have the authority to carry firearms.

However, Interpol's Asia-Pacific branch did not endanger the public security of Hong Kong Island, nor did it interfere in the sovereignty of Hong Kong Island.

Even though the Hong Kong Police Force dislikes the Interpol Asia Pacific Branch, it is not a good idea to simply shut down this organization.

Now, using the reasons that the head of Interpol Asia Pacific is involved in criminal activities and the integrity of its internal law enforcement personnel is very questionable, it is a good opportunity to completely shut down the Interpol Asia Pacific branch.

Of course, these are things that the top cop in the police force needs to consider.

As for Zhou Quan and the security department, they only need to follow the boss's instructions and handle all subsequent matters properly.

"Yes, sir!"

Zhou Quan stood up quickly and decisively and expressed his attitude.

"Well, get back to work!"

Yi Ge nodded slightly. He still needed to contact the Interpol headquarters in person, so he didn't keep Zhou Quan to chat.

When Zhou Quan returned to the security department's office area downstairs, the entire security department immediately took action.

The two major groups, operations and administration, jointly launched an investigation into all Interpol personnel in Hong Kong.

As for Chen Fang's interrogation, everything went very smoothly.

With the conclusive wiretap records and the documentary evidence that Zhou Xingxing was bringing back, there was no room for Chen Fang to make excuses.

After nearly half a month of hard work, all the work was finally settled.

All those involved in the case should be tried if necessary and released if necessary.

However, even if the identities of those Interpol officers in Hong Kong have been identified, they will not be able to return to the Interpol Asia-Pacific branch to continue their work.

Because this organization has completely become a thing of the past due to the tough attitude of the police force and domestic public security departments.

The replacement agency is the Liaison Affairs Bureau of the Hong Kong Island Police Force.

Responsible for coordinating inquiries on Hong Kong police affairs from law enforcement agencies around the world and consulates of various countries in Hong Kong.

It also serves as the liaison channel and coordination centre for the Hong Kong Police Force and law enforcement agencies around the world on international law enforcement matters.

Gong Jiapei and his staff, who were originally in charge of this work in the Security Department, were all incorporated into the newly established Liaison Affairs Section.

At that time, Superintendent Duan Xiangren, who was responsible for carrying out Zhou Quan's order to seal off the entire Interpol Asia-Pacific branch, and all his military uniforms were also transferred to this department.

In addition to their ranks and positions within the police force, these brothers will also serve as Interpol officers.

As for the ownership of this department, after discussion among the core management of the police force, it was finally determined that it would be under the Security Department.

In other words, the Security Department saw its first expansion in staffing since the day it abolished the Political Department of the foreigners.

The vision of those bigwigs in the core management of the police force is naturally beyond doubt.

The security department commanded by Zhou Quan will have to be expanded sooner or later.

Even when the National Security Act is fully implemented, his own rank will be raised one level.

Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of the closure of Interpol's Asia-Pacific branch, we can lay the foundation for expanding the security department in advance.
