Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 679 Internal Hearing Begins

The National Security Department convoy slowly drove out of the Fanling Base gate and then sped back to the Police Force Tai Kwun.

While driving, Zhou Quan, with his eyes slightly closed, spoke in a calm voice.

"Axing, what do you think?"

Zhou Xingxing did not have direct contact with Ling Jing, but when he was communicating with Yang Zian and other mobile force management, how could he not be concerned about Ling Jing's situation?
Now, five days have passed since the hostage was mistakenly killed, and the mobile force is investigating the details of Ling Jing's incident.

Since the hearing procedure has not yet been initiated, an effective and compliant case closing report has not yet been formed.

But the mobile force management must also be aware of Ling Jing's specific situation.

Through the stories told by Yang Zi'an and others, Zhou Xingxing also knew Ling Jing's general situation.

"Boss, as long as Jing's reasons are true and reliable, he won't be in any big trouble this time."

Without any hesitation or delay, Zhou Xingxing immediately reported his ideas to his boss.

"Ajing does not need to bear any legal responsibility for performing his duties normally."

"But it is also true that a hostage was killed by mistake. I'm afraid he will have a disciplinary warning in his file."

When the police force is performing their duties, as long as they cause damage other than to criminals and operatives, they will definitely be held accountable afterwards.

The only difference is that it depends on the situation.

Whether the punishment should be severe or simply let off lightly is what the higher-ups need to consider.

A hostage was mistakenly killed by the police force. This situation is obviously not something that can be resolved lightly.

Even if the police force is performing their duties normally, the personnel involved will definitely receive a demerit.

Zhou Quan never cared about this at all.

As long as Ling Jing is not dismissed from the police force, he will even be held directly legally responsible.

Then other punishments are nothing at all.

To put it bluntly, among the brothers fighting on the front line of the police force, which one is a good boy?

Almost all the CID commanders in various police districts have records of demerits and penalties on their resumes.

Compassion does not control soldiers, kindness does not serve as police.

If all cases were handled honestly and peacefully, and according to the rules, how could we possibly suppress those vicious thugs?
Ling Jing has the support of the big bosses above him, and he himself has made many contributions.

It's just a warning and it won't affect his future at all.

"As it should be, what's next?"

Nodding slightly, Zhou Quan continued to lean back in the back seat and rest with his eyes closed.

Zhou Xingxing pondered for a few seconds, and he knew in his heart that his boss was testing him on how he should handle the details of the Ling Jing incident.

"According to A Jing, Gao Wenshan may have observed the emergency situation at the scene of the operation, and Fang Keming definitely noticed it."

Zhou Xingxing, who had a general idea in his mind, smiled confidently.

"Start the hearing process normally. As long as Gao Wenshan and Fang Keming can prove A Jing's reasons, then everything can be concluded smoothly."

"But to be on the safe side, I think we should directly interrogate that big-time guy Ye Tao."

"Ye Tao knows best whether the firing pin of the grenade has been triggered or not."

He did not doubt that Gao Wenshan and Fang Keming gave false confessions that were unfavorable to Ling Jing, but interrogating Ye Tao was actually the simplest way.

As for whether Ye Tao is willing to clear Ling Jing's name after being seriously injured by Ling Jing's gun.

Zhou Xingxing had no worries at all about this.

Once he arrived at the National Security Department, Ye Tao had no say in anything.

To put it bluntly, something fake can be made to be real, let alone the fact that this actually exists?

Zhou Quan is the top interrogation expert in the National Security Department and even in the entire police force.

But this does not mean that the entire police force has to rely entirely on Zhou Quan's abilities.

He is just a member of the police force and is not strong enough to shake the foundation of the entire police force.

The National Security Department has been on the right track for several years, with the full support of the police force and the Hong Kong government.

It is no exaggeration to say that the high-end talents under his command are as numerous as crucian carp swimming in the river.

When it comes to interrogation experts, each team in the Operational Security Department has its own elite personnel.

Ye Tao wanted to frame Ling Jing with a false confession, but there was no way this could be hidden from the investigation of the interrogation experts.

Unless Ling Jing lied about the hostage-killing incident, the truth would be revealed as soon as Ye Tao was interrogated. "Very good!"

Slowly opening his eyes, Zhou Quan showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"You are responsible for that big guy who fell on the street!"

"I will personally monitor the hearing process!"

Zhou Quan was very pleased that Zhou Xingxing was able to quickly find the key point to break the deadlock.

Because of his concern, he was distracted and lacked some temper and sense of propriety when facing Ling Jing's accidental killing of the hostage.

But his current reaction is enough to show that he is strong enough.

"Head, don't worry!"

A sinister smile appeared on Director Zhou's lips, showing the resentment and anger in his heart.

"I promise to make that loser confess everything honestly."

After all, if a hostage is mistakenly killed by the police, the reputation of the entire police force will be affected.

Ling Jing is his brother, and he is basically performing his duties normally.

Of course, Zhou Xingxing would not blame Ling Jing for this anger and resentment.

In this way, Ye Tao, the instigator of the BNC Bank robbery, undoubtedly attracted all of Zhou Xingxing's attention.

Zhou Quan didn't care at all about how Zhou Xingxing dealt with Ye Tao.

The next investigation into Ling Jing is what he is most concerned about.

He acted very quickly and started the hearing process immediately after returning to the police station in Tai Kwun.

The scale of the special working group is unprecedentedly large, and it is simply not a treatment that a chief inspector can experience.

The main person in charge is Guan Wenzhan, the head of the Political Investigation Department, and Mo Jinquan, the head of the Internal Investigation Section, provides assistance.

These two departments have the authority to deal with matters within the police force and immediately began to act according to Sir Quan's instructions.

All information about Ling Jing's accidental killing of the hostage was quickly collected and organized by the hearing working group.

The actual hearing process began in full swing the next day.

The hearing team did not conduct investigations at the grassroots level, but directly summoned all relevant personnel to the police headquarters.

The next morning, Ling Jing, Gao Wenshan and Fang Keming entered the temporary meeting room set up by the Political Investigation Department.

The three of them are all members of the police force. Without confirmation of any violation of laws or disciplines, it is naturally not appropriate for them to directly use the interrogation room.

Inside the conference table, Chief Superintendent Guan Wenzhan sat in the center.

Mo Jinquan, who was of the same level as him, sat on his right.

On his left is Senior Superintendent Zhong Jinming, who is one level lower in rank and is responsible for the specific record-keeping work.

The brothers under the command of Zhong Jinming are a team dedicated to supervising and inspecting the internal affairs of the police force.

To put it bluntly, the existence of Guan Sir and Mo Sir.

It is to show the importance that the boss attaches to this incident and to symbolize the collaboration between the National Security Department and the Supervision Department.

Zhong Jinming and his team are the staff who are actually responsible for carrying out the hearing procedures.

"Chief Inspector Ling Jing, regarding the incident in which you accidentally killed a hostage during the BNC bank robbery."

Opening the folder in front of him, Zhong Jinming looked at Ling Jing seriously and started today's hearing procedure.

"There are currently three gendarmerie-level police officers from the Police Force conducting the first internal hearing."

He didn't have much contact with Ling Jing, but he knew that Ling Jing was the backbone of the action group under his boss.

Under normal circumstances, Zhong Jinming's attitude would definitely be kind.

However, this is an internal hearing, and as an investigator he must maintain his authority.

Not only him, even Guan Wenzhan, who was very familiar with Ling Jing, and Mo Jinquan, who was well versed in worldly affairs, also had expressionless faces.

Personal relationships are personal relationships, and work is work.

In this regard, it is certainly impossible for the three of them to sacrifice public interest for personal gain.

"Chief Inspector Ling Jing, please explain why you fired that shot at that time!"

As the actual investigator, Zhong Jinming asked Ling Jing the first question.
