Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 559: The Legal Network from Top to Bottom

Financial escorts are highly confidential, so the escort routes naturally cannot remain unchanged.

The escort systems of all banks in Hong Kong are basically the same.

Only when the cash escort vehicle is ready to depart will the escort supervisor obtain the specific route of the cash escort vehicle from the bank's senior management.

Therefore, even if He Yongqiang was a spy of Zhang Wenyao and Tian Yangsheng, it was impossible for him to design the entire escort process of the 100 million US dollars in cash in advance.

This obviously gives Zhou Xingxing room to maneuver.

The only concern of the National Security Department regarding this special operation is that when Tian Yangsheng and others take action, they worry that innocent citizens nearby will be affected.

As for directly capturing Tian Yangsheng's ronin group before they take action, this approach is not realistic.

To catch a thief, you need to seize the stolen goods. If you take action without solid and accurate evidence, you will only alert the enemy.

After all, Wei Jingda did not carry any eavesdropping or surveillance equipment on him to ensure his personal safety.

Therefore, the National Security Bureau is unable to accurately grasp the current specific situation of the Tian Yangsheng Ronin Group.

This situation would be easier to deal with if they had already prepared the weapons they needed to take action.

He Wenzhan led the assault team and could directly charge them with the crime of illegal possession of weapons.

Other subsequent charges can also be obtained through interrogation.

But, in everything, we should be prepared for the worst.

If Tian Yangsheng had acted very cautiously, he would have taken the weapons from a secret location just before taking action.

If the police take action now, they will eventually be released without charge.

It is impossible to convict the Tian Yangsheng Ronin Group based solely on Wei Jingda's testimony.

Most importantly, Zhou Xingxing needs to completely connect the three lines of Zhang Wenyao, He Yongqiang and Tian Yangsheng.

Solving a cash van robbery was just a side job.

Since the route of HSBC's cash delivery vehicle has not yet been determined, Zhou Xingxing has chosen a dead end for Tian Yangsheng and other criminals.

"Connect me to that foreign guy from Eldon at HSBC!"

Zhou Xingxing took his eyes off the map on the big screen and spoke slowly, knowing what was going on.

The professional police officer at the side acted quickly. He first used the police force's internal line to transfer the call to the HKMA, and then connected to the official phone of the HSBC manager.

The reason why it is so complicated is because the authority of this call needs to be guaranteed.

Otherwise, if you make a random call to the office of a HSBC manager, there is no way to tell whether the other party will answer the call.

Even if the other party answered the call, it was impossible for him to just do whatever Zhou Xingxing said.

"Hello, I'm Eldon."

Since it was a business internal line transferred from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the person on the other end answered the call very quickly.

"Mr. Eldon, I'm Zhou Xingxing from the National Security Department of the Police Force!"

Zhou Xingxing took the telephone receiver handed to him by the police officer next to him and began to introduce himself.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou!"

The white guy Eldon has lived in Hong Kong Island for more than ten years and can speak Chinese and Cantonese quite fluently.

"Is there anything your department can do for HSBC?"

Although they were separated by a telephone receiver, the white man Eldon spoke in a very polite voice. How could he not know the name of the deputy director of the National Security Department of the police force?
Since the call was transferred from a business internal line, the white man Eldon did not doubt Zhou Xingxing's identity.

These internal business telephones are all traceable, otherwise it would be impossible to call his office.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to impersonate a senior police officer?
"Mr. Eldon, I need your bank to follow the route provided by our National Security Department for the $100 million in cash that was shipped to our Kowloon branch this morning."

Zhou Xingxing did not exchange any pleasantries with the foreigner Eldon. He directly stated the purpose of his call. "Mr. Zhou, is there an emergency?"

The ghost man Eldon's tone showed obvious anxiety, and he hurriedly asked about the specific situation.

"I'm sorry, this is a secret from the National Security Department. Please understand and cooperate!"

Without any hesitation or delay, Zhou Xingxing rejected the white guy Eldon outright.

Although this operation is not very important, not everyone is qualified to investigate cases handled by the National Security Bureau.

As one of the three major issuing banks of currency in Hong Kong Island, HSBC's status in Hong Kong Island is self-evident.

The boss of HSBC is also an influential figure in both the political and business circles of Hong Kong Island.

But even so, there was no need for the National Security Bureau to explain too much to him.

In a nutshell, the National Security Department is handling the case and it is not convenient to disclose.

The foreigner Eldon fell into silence. He didn't understand anything about the current situation and certainly didn't want to be told what to do by outsiders.

Even if it was HSBC's escort route, he, as the bank boss, was fully qualified to make the decision to change it.

But if any unexpected situation occurs during this process, he will also be implicated and even held accountable.

Just when Eldun wanted to speak again to express his concerns, Zhou Xingxing's other words stopped him from speaking.

"The 100 million U.S. dollars your bank is about to escort has also caught our attention!"

Zhou Xingxing didn't say it directly, but he was obviously telling the foreigner Eldon that he had the support of the big boss behind him.

"Understood. We at HSBC will fully cooperate with your department's actions."

The foreigner Eldon, who had already spoken, immediately changed his attitude and tone.

If changing the bank escort route was the idea of ​​police officer Sir Quan, then there would be no problem.

Looking at the entire police force, even among the core management of the police force, the white guy Eldon is fully capable of expressing his attitude to most of them.

He must understand and cooperate with the two bosses.

Sir Quan from the police force is undoubtedly one of these two big guys.

The National Security Department may seem to be just a department under the police force, but in fact it is an executive agency explicitly stipulated in the Hong Kong National Security Law.

The Director of the National Security Department is a member of the Hong Kong Island National Security Committee.

If the National Security Bureau's actions were affected, the foreigner Eldon would not be able to bear the subsequent charges.

Even though his nationality is still in his foreign ancestral home, he now lives in Hong Kong Island after all.

As for the other big boss, he is obviously the big boss above Sir Quan.

At all times, the top officer of the Hong Kong Police Force is the real powerful boss of Hong Kong Island.

If necessary, he can even become the most powerful boss in Hong Kong.

The most crucial situation is that these two big guys can almost be said to be of the same blood.

Therefore, when the white man Eldon realized that the police officer's powerful lord was paying attention to this matter, he immediately stopped hesitating and desponding.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation, Mr. Eldon."

Zhou Xingxing smiled, he knew that his reputation as the boss could directly suppress the foreigner opposite.

"We need your cash delivery vehicle today. Take Queen's Road to Queensway, then turn onto Arsenal Street, Gloucester Road, and enter Kowloon Island through the Hung Hom Tunnel."

Then, he straightened his expression and began to arrange the specific escort route in a serious tone.

"The entire route will be notified to the supervisor in charge of escorting the cash delivery vehicle before departure. It must be kept confidential."
