Chapter 119 Chapter 120 [Must give an explanation]

Zhang Yan's work efficiency became higher and higher. By the afternoon of the third day, the police cover-up case had become known to everyone and entered the first phase of heated discussion. Many legislators also knew about the incident and were thinking of going to the Central Police Station to find out the situation. If the police chief could not give a satisfactory explanation, they had the right to complain to the Governor's Office about the police force's favoritism and abuse of power.

Of course, this is not just a problem with the police force, there is also dereliction of duty or bribery by court judges.

Li Wendi's method is to grab hands and chop off hands, grab feet and chop off feet. If all the people involved are dragged in, then it will be difficult to achieve the goal. It is already difficult to deal with a police team, and he cannot do it both ways.

The incident was extremely bad, and it happened in the economically prosperous Central. Many businessmen were very scared. After all, a police officer entered the office with a gun and shot people, and now he has only been sentenced to ten years in prison. Anyone with ulterior motives knows that this is a blatant cover-up.

Businessmen are also worried that they will be the next one because the criminal law is not enough to warn criminals and deter them.

As a result, many businessmen paid close attention to this matter and even called relevant agencies to inquire about the reasons, but unfortunately they all received extremely perfunctory responses.

When Li Wendi heard the news, he couldn't stop laughing. He didn't expect that this incident would cause a strong reaction from a group of businessmen. The top police officers should be under a lot of pressure now, and they would naturally and inevitably find him as the person involved.

Li Wendi's role will not be huge, but it can help eliminate some of the negative impacts, and the rest of the things will not be so difficult to deal with.

Reporters always have a keen sense of smell, and soon a reporter came to interview Li Wendi.

Li Wendi naturally accepted everyone who came and allowed reporters from three newspapers to interview him at the same time.

"Mr. Li, what do you think about the murderer Lin Jianye being sentenced to ten years in prison?" asked the short-haired, round-faced female reporter seriously.

Li Wendi smiled faintly and said, "I don't know what the specific law is, but I think if I was shot, the former police officer Lin Jianye would not be sentenced to death. I heard that when Lin Jianye was a policeman, he had good interpersonal relationships at the Central Police Headquarters. Maybe someone helped him."

"So Mr. Li, what you mean is that someone in the police force bribed the judge so that the sentence was only ten years?" The female reporter's statement was even more sharp.

Li Wendi smiled and shook his head, "I am just a nobody, how dare I suspect anyone? But if the attempted murder is only sentenced to ten years in prison, I think many people will follow suit, and the public security in Hong Kong will be worrying."

"Mr. Li, I heard that you are a gangster and you offended Lam Kin-yip's brother, former Wan Chai Detective Lam Kin-man. That's why Lam Kin-yip wanted to shoot you to get revenge, right?" asked another male reporter.

"I am not a gangster now. Everyone has the right to be good. I believe that Hong Kong citizens are also happy to see gangsters turn from evil to good." Li Wendi did not want to avoid this issue, because if he did not say it now and it was dug out by someone with ulterior motives, things would become different.

After two hours of interview, the reporters finally asked all the questions they wanted to ask.

"Thank you all for your hard work!" Li Wendi asked people to prepare red envelopes for the reporters. Of course, it was not to bribe them, but to follow the convention.

After the reporters left, an acquaintance came to Li Wendi's office.

Li Wendi naturally didn't want to see this person, but he had to see him because the problem had to be resolved.

"Mr. Li, I'm here to bother you again." Zhang Wenhuai, wearing a suit, appeared in front of Li Wendi very formally.

Li Wendi nodded, pointed to the sofa, and said with a smile, "Sit down. Would you like coffee or tea?"

"Coffee, I'm used to drinking coffee." Zhang Wenhuai found a random seat and sat down.

"I wonder what business Sir Zhang has with me?" Li Wendi went straight to the point. He had no intention of chatting nonsense with Zhang Wenhuai.

"I just saw a group of reporters leaving. Mr. Li must have heard the rumors on the street. In order to eliminate the bad influence on the police force, I was sent to invite Mr. Li to hold a press conference. I wonder if Mr. Li is free?" Zhang Wenhuai said with a flattering smile.

Li Wendi sneered, "I'm very busy and don't have any free time. I have cooperated with your police force several times before, and I'm waiting for an explanation from your police force, but in the end, there was nothing. It seems that I, Li Wendi, am not qualified."

Zhang Wenhuai had already prepared a speech. He glanced at Li Wendi and said, "Actually, I've always wanted to have a good talk with Mr. Li, but unfortunately I've been too busy recently. It's all my fault. Lin Jianye will not live long. As for how many years he is sentenced to, it's just a superficial announcement. Mr. Li really doesn't need to care." "Haha!! It turns out that if Sir Zhang says he doesn't mind, then I can't mind. It seems that Sir Zhang has a lot of power. He even acts as my master. Awesome, really awesome!" Li Wendi said sarcastically with a smile.

"Mr. Li, that's not what I meant."

Zhang Wenhuai wanted to explain, but Li Wendi interrupted him with a wave of his hand. "Sir Zhang, I have seen what your police force does. There is no need to explain. I will not give you this face until I am satisfied with the result."

"If you have nothing else to do, Sir Zhang, please leave. I still have official business to attend to."

Li Wendi immediately ordered them to leave. He really didn't want to chat nonsense with Zhang Wenhuai here. It was meaningless, a waste of time, and affected his mood.

"What are your conditions, Mr. Li?"

"I know that Lin Jianye's sentence cannot be changed, but I don't want him to survive tonight. Of course, that is real death. I will cooperate with you only after I confirm that Lin Jianye is dead." Li Wendi said expressionlessly.

"Mr. Li, the news has just spread like wildfire. If Lin Jianye suddenly dies, wouldn't that be a confession? The authority of the police force will be affected." Zhang Wenhuai frowned, trying to get Li Wendi to delay for some time.

"That's your business. You have done a lot of things that don't fulfill your promises. Do you, Sir Zhang, still want me to continue playing dumb?" Li Wendi lifted the fig leaf.

"Mr. Li, I can assure you that Lin Jianye will definitely die."

"Haha!! Everyone will die, no one is an exception. Sir Zhang is just a police chief, your guarantee is worthless. Besides, whether Lin Jianye lives or not is not just up to your police force to decide." Li Wendi sneered.

Zhang Wenhuai was speechless for a moment, because what Li Wendi said made sense. It was just a simple matter to spend some money to save a life in prison.

"Mr. Li, Lin Jianye's life is worthless, but your life should be valuable. The police force has put a lot of effort into investigating, and Mr. Li will not feel good about it."

"It's indeed uncomfortable, but I don't want to lose my life one day. In order to survive, it's worth taking a risk." Li Wendi smiled faintly.

Naturally, this conversation did not produce any result. Zhang Wenhuai still wanted to fool Li Wendi and kept writing blank checks. Unfortunately, Li Wendi was not a fool. After being fooled twice, he would not agree to it the third time no matter what.

To be on the safe side, Li Wendi informed Zhang Yan to put the matter of killing Lin Jianye on hold and wait for his orders.

In order to shirk responsibility, the police force made a stupid move and announced to reporters: This is the court's decision and the police have no right to interfere.

As a result, the pressure was put on the court. Of course, most of the judges were British and they certainly didn't care much about the doubts raised by the Chinese in Hong Kong.

The situation escalated further and reached the Governor's Office.

Governor Murray MacLehose, who was determined to develop Hong Kong, immediately convened a meeting, urged the court to re-examine the case, ordered the police force to submit favorable evidence, and gave a satisfactory explanation to the citizens of Hong Kong.

The police chief was forced to scold his subordinates and ordered them to solve the matter within three days, otherwise they would all be fired.

In order to restore the reputation of the police force, he also asked his subordinates to invite relevant personnel to support the police force.

Therefore, Zhang Wenhuai met with Li Wendi again and promised to fulfill all of Li Wendi's requests, only hoping that Li Wendi could express his trust in the police force in public.

Li Wendi will naturally wait until all demands are met before taking any action.
