Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 517 Big Trouble After the Award
December 21st was the beginning of the last full working week of the year, and it was almost time for Tai Kwun to close.

Senior officials from the National Security Department gathered urgently in the conference room.

"Ahua, tell me about the current situation!"

Zhou Quan, who was sitting at the head seat at the conference table, calmly pointed out the name of Chen Guohua, the head of the intelligence team.

"Yes, sir!"

Chen Guohua stood up and saluted. He walked to the multimedia work desk opposite his boss and projected documents onto the screen.

"Boss, colleagues, at 13:05 this afternoon, a jailbreak of extremely serious consequence occurred at the Central Police Station."

At the same time, Chen Guohua quickly and skillfully introduced the situation of the entire emergency case.

"The suspect who escaped from prison is one of our own brothers in the police force."

"Zhuo Wenwei, Chief Inspector of the Operations Department of the Wan Chai Division of the Hong Kong Island Region, and also an elite member of the PNC of the Hong Kong Island Region."

PNC is the abbreviation of the Police Negotiation Team, which means that Zhuo Wenwei himself is a very professional negotiation expert in the police force.

This department is a special organization of the police force.

When there are no tasks, all internal personnel will work in the department where they originally worked.

But once an urgent task arises, they will be formed temporarily.

Not only should we immediately perform special duties, but we should also give priority to special duties.

The nature of this police negotiation team is very similar to the T team under Zhou Quan.

Both were formed at a critical time, but the T team is a secret team of the Criminal Operations Division of the National Security Bureau and is the sharpest sword in Zhou Quan's hands.

There is no open existence of a T team in the police force, but the negotiation team is a department explicitly stipulated by the police force.

"Chief Inspector Zhuo Wenwei is suspected of a shooting case that occurred at North Point Pier in the early hours of last weekend, that is, yesterday, December 20, 01:45."

While controlling the rotation of information on the screen, Chen Guohua introduced the current emergency case situation.

"The deceased, Zhang Yongjia, was affiliated with the East District Operations Department and had a police rank of Inspector."

"When Inspector Zhang Yongjia died, Chief Inspector Zhuo Wenwei was present at the crime scene."

"Because of the location of the case and the identity of the people involved."

"This case was handled by the Hong Kong Island Regional Crime Unit, Wan Chai Police Station and North Point Police Station."

"Yesterday morning, a team led by Superintendent Li Zhibin of the Hong Kong Island Regional Crime Squad, accompanied by Superintendent Luo Anbang, head of the Wan Chai Operations Department, and Superintendent Li Junjie, head of the Eastern District Internal Investigation Division, jointly searched Zhuo Wenwei's residence."

"They found an offshore account opened by Zhuo Wenwei in the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean from Zhuo Wenwei's home."

"Then, using this as evidence, Zhuo Wenwei was temporarily taken back to the Central Police Station for detention."

"Twenty minutes ago, Zhuo Wenwei suddenly escaped from the detention room of the Central Police Station for unknown reasons, and has now broken into the North Point Police Station of the Eastern District Headquarters."

"The intelligence team is currently investigating other specific circumstances."

An inspector of the police force was shot dead, and the National Security Department would definitely get the news.

However, since the Hong Kong Island Region had already taken joint action, Zhou Quan and his colleagues did not participate too much in this case, but only paid attention to the progress of the case.

It is suspected that a chief inspector of the police force shot and killed a police inspector. This case definitely deserves the police force's high attention.

However, since other colleagues are in charge of this case, there is no need for the National Security Bureau to compete with their colleagues for the lead in the case.

After all, this is just a homicide criminal case.

It’s just that the identities of the murderer and the victim are very special.

But even so, the Hong Kong Island Region is fully qualified to handle this case. Unexpectedly, this case has now caused such a big trouble.

The suspect escaped directly from the Central Police Station, and then broke into the North Point Police Station amid a fierce chase between the two sides.

You have to know that this is the main island of Hong Kong, and the Central Police Station is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Hong Kong Island.

How could this kind of chaos and chase incident, where both parties involved are insiders of the police force, not attract the attention of the Hong Kong media?
Zhou Quan didn't need to think too much to be sure that the news media from Hong Kong Island must have gathered outside the North Point Police Station.

How could their National Security Department not pay great attention to the subsequent developments?
If necessary, Zhou Quan would even bypass the Hong Kong Island Region and forcibly take over the incident.

"What do others think?"

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Zhou Quan asked his brothers for their opinions while thinking about the case himself.

"Boss, there is something very wrong with Zhuo Wenwei. I suspect he was wrongly accused."

Zhou Xingxing, who was sitting to the right of Zhou Quan, gave his opinion calmly.

Entering the management level of the police force, and also because he is already married, Chief Superintendent Zhou, who has established a family, has become more mature and stable.

Except when he is interacting with his boss and brothers in private, Zhou Xingxing never shows any sign of being out of line, but instead displays the demeanor of a general.

"Boss, I agree with Mr. Zhou's opinion."

Luo Danian gently pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose. Not only did he agree with his boss's idea without hesitation, he also gave a coherent reason.

"If Zhuo Wenwei was really the murderer of Inspector Zhang Yongjia, he would have tried to escape after escaping from prison."

"Traveling through the downtown area and breaking into the East District Headquarters, there must be some reason we don't know about."

Of course, all of this is just Luo Danian's inference based on his own experience.

To know exactly what the situation is, we need solid evidence.

"Boss, our internal investigation department has found some important information."

As soon as Luo Danian finished speaking, Guan Wenzhan immediately reported the key information he had.

"Inspector Zhang Yongjia is nominally affiliated with the East District Operations Department, but according to his file records, he is also a member of the East District Internal Investigation Division."

"His direct supervisor is Li Junjie, the head of the East District Internal Investigation Division."

"Before his death, Inspector Cheung Wing-ka was secretly investigating a case of internal personnel in the Hong Kong Island Region defrauding the Police Welfare Fund."

"According to the current clues, Inspector Zhang Yongjia must have found some accurate information and was subsequently silenced."

"Chief Inspector Zhuo Wenwei is most likely a scapegoat framed by the mastermind behind the incident."

"I have checked the EU assault vehicle's action report at the time of the incident, based on the testimony of the on-duty captain."

"They received an order from the Eastern District Headquarters. A citizen called the police to report that gunshots were heard at North Point Pier, and they immediately rushed to the scene to check."

"When the EU assault vehicle arrived, Chief Inspector Zhuo Wenwei happened to be at the scene and was immediately identified as the first suspect."

"But in fact, Inspector Zhang Yongjia was killed by a single shot. When the EU assault vehicle arrived, no other gunshots were heard."

"This proves that Inspector Zhang Yongjia was not shot when the EU assault vehicle approached the crime scene."

"Although there is no CCTV near the crime scene, we have checked the movements of Chief Inspector Zhuo Wenwei."

"According to the time calculation, he arrived at the crime scene later than the exact time of death of Inspector Zhang Yongjia."

"Based on these two points, we can conclude that Chief Inspector Zhuo Wenwei is definitely not the murderer of Inspector Zhang Yongjia, because he simply did not have the time to commit the crime."
