Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 574: Another conflict between police and ICAC?
Faced with the call from his boss, Liu Baoqiang acted very quickly.

Almost as soon as Luo Danian left, he arrived at the office of his boss.

After all, the political department’s office area is on the same floor as the director’s office.

"head!"

Liu Baoqiang raised his hand to salute, then quickly walked to the desk of his boss.

"Wait a moment!"

Zhou Quan nodded. He did not immediately give Liu Baoqiang the task, but instead quickly signed a document.

"Take this arrest warrant and go to the Commercial Crime Investigation Department downstairs to bring Huang Wenbin back for questioning!"

Putting the pen in place, Zhou Quan leaned forward slightly and pushed the freshly issued arrest warrant in front of Liu Baoqiang.

He is just Huang Wenbin, even though he is the head of the police force’s specialized department in Tai Kwun.

But after all, he is only a police superintendent at the level of a constitutional commissioner, and it is enough to have Liu Baoqiang lead the team.

"Yes, sir!"

Raising his hand to salute again, Liu Baoqiang picked up the arrest warrant and walked out of his boss' office neatly.

Liu Baoqiang returned to the office area next door at great speed and went straight to find his deputy Yang Jinrong.

"Ah Rong, bring a team with me to the Commercial Crime Investigation Department downstairs."

After handing the arrest warrant to Yang Jinrong, Liu Baoqiang also clarified the objectives of the operation.

Because deputy commanders of various groups such as Yang Jinrong were not directly promoted and appointed at the full management meeting of the police force.

So they are still going through the promotion process and have not yet officially been promoted to the rank of superintendent.

Otherwise, Liu Baoqiang could even directly hand over this task to Yang Jinrong.

Although the National Security Department has vast powers, it is currently located within the police headquarters.

Letting a chief inspector take away a gazetted superintendent would have a rather unpleasant impact.

This is not about caring about the thoughts of Wong Man-bin and the members of the Commercial Crime Bureau, but about paying attention to the mood of the superintendents of other departments within the police force in Tai Kwun.

Yang Jinrong glanced at the signature of his boss on the arrest warrant, and his whole body became serious in an instant.

He quickly assembled a team and followed the pace of his superior.

Taking the elevator down, a group of internal investigation members from the Political Investigation Department of the National Security Bureau, led by Liu Baoqiang, came directly to the office area of ​​the Commercial Crime Investigation Section of the Criminal Department.

From a distance of more than ten meters, bursts of noisy quarrels reached the ears of Liu Baoqiang, Yang Jinrong and others.

"Hey, what are you doing? Want to fight?"

"I'm telling you guys, don't play tricks!"

……

"What's going on? Another conflict between the police and the IC?"

Amid the hustle and bustle and noisy arguments, an extremely harsh rebuke suddenly rang out.

At the same time, within the sight of Liu Baoqiang, Yang Jinrong and others.

At the entrance of the Commercial Crime Investigation Department's office area, a slightly fat figure disappeared in time.

This situation made Liu Baoqiang and Yang Jinrong look at each other.

"Sir, the Commercial Crime Investigation Department is so busy today!"

"Let's go and take a look!"

At this moment, they both saw the amusement in the depths of each other's eyes.

Although I didn't see clearly who the figure just now was, the redbud flower and crossed batons on the other person's shoulder flashed by.

Looking at the entire police force, only two big guys can wear this police rank, the deputy commissioner of police. Operations DCP Wong Bing Yao is Zhou Quan's elder, so it is impossible for Lau Po Keung and Yeung Kam Wing to fail to recognize him.

In this case, the other party can only be the police force’s management DCP Zeng Yuming.

However, no matter which big boss of the police force is in the Commercial Crime Investigation Department at the moment, as long as it is not the big boss who comes in person.

Then no one can stop the National Security Department from taking Huang Wenbin back for questioning.

Liu Baoqiang and Yang Jinrong, one in front and one behind, led the other members of the internal investigation team and walked straight to the office area of ​​the Commercial Crime Investigation Division.

"You, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, like to target our police force to boost your own reputation?"

During this process, Zeng Yuming's scolding voice was heard again in the office area of ​​the Commercial Crime Investigation Division.

Whatever his intentions were in coming here, he was the deputy commissioner of the police force after all.

The ICAC came to arrest people, and a conflict almost broke out. He must make his position clear.

"I'm sorry! Mr. Zeng!"

Then, another gentle and magnetic voice sounded.

"The rule of law is Hong Kong's most precious core value. If anything goes wrong with law enforcement, Hong Kong will be completely ruined."

"We at the ICAC are responsible for the final checkpoint, and I don't want to see corruption in the police force either."

Although the voice was polite, its attitude was very tough, and it was obviously coming from the mouth of the officer leading this ICAC operation.

"I just got off the plane and I received a call from your Deputy Commissioner Yu."

Deputy Director Zeng Yuming's voice sounded again, his tone slightly softened.

"Don't worry, our police force will cooperate with the ICAC."

After all, this is not the era when the money empire just ended, so some grudges can exist between the police force and the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

However, in terms of the general direction, the two major law enforcement agencies must maintain a high degree of consistency.

The rule of law and legal spirit of Hong Kong will definitely not be affected in the slightest.

Otherwise, the senior ICAC officials would not have been able to contact the senior police officers in advance.

The Deputy Commissioner Yu mentioned by Zeng Yuming is Yu Hongsheng, the second-in-command of the ICAC and also the director of the Executive Division.

Logically speaking, the Commercial Crime Bureau comes under the Criminal Department, and above it are the head of the Criminal Department, Assistant Commissioner of Police Hon Hau-chung, and the Chief of Criminal Department SACP Ho.

Further up the ladder is operations DCP Wong Bing Yao.

However, Yu Hongsheng has a pretty good relationship with Zeng Yuming, and is a little more distant from several directors in the operations department.

Therefore, the call was passed on to Zeng Yuming by Deputy Commissioner Yu of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

The fact that some police officers were taken away by the ICAC is also a problem of police management, and it is not against the rules for the management DCP to intervene.

"Thank you, Mr. Zeng, for your understanding!"

The ICAC team leader expressed his gratitude to Zeng Yuming for his cooperation and issued an execution order.

"Take Superintendent Huang back and be polite!"

After hearing this, Liu Baoqiang and Yang Jinrong knew that they had to speed up.

If they let the ICAC take Huang Wenbin away, how would they explain to their own boss?

What's more, their National Security Department has already launched Operation Z-Storm.

If other law enforcement agencies in Hong Kong want to take away the main target persons they are targeting, it depends on whether their National Security Department agrees.

"Sorry, Huang Wenbin needs to stay at the police station to cooperate with the investigation!"

Liu Baoqiang, who was still in the corridor, interrupted the actions within the Commercial Crime Investigation Department with a loud voice.
