Shen Shaofeng continued, "Secondly, secretly investigate the relationship between Huang Zhicheng, Han Chen, and Mary, such as call records, meeting places, financial transactions, etc."
He looked at Wong Kai-fai: "Wong Sir, you are the deputy head of the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit. Is there any way to access the relevant records without alerting Wong Chi-shing?"
Huang Qifa nodded: "Yes, I can use the pretext of an internal integrity management spot check to retrieve the entire team's communication records and bank statements from the past few years. This is a standard self-inspection procedure and won't arouse his suspicion."
Lu Qichang frowned and said, "Ah Huang is very careful. If he really has financial dealings with Han Chen and his wife, he definitely won't keep it transparent."
Shen Shaofeng had anticipated this: "Then check his communications and travel records, especially whether he and Han Chen and his wife frequently met or contacted each other before and after Ni Kun's murder."
He knew very well that these things would not stand up to investigation for Huang Zhicheng—as long as the police were determined to investigate thoroughly.
Li Wenbin made the final decision:
"Alright, let's split up then. Shaofeng, you continue investigating the Ni family and the five leaders, especially keep a close eye on Han Chen and Mary."
"As for Lao Huang and A-Chang, your Major Crimes Unit should conduct its own investigation into Huang Zhicheng's case. If I find out you've shown favoritism..."
He stood up, braced his hands on the coffee table in the reception area, looked down at Huang Qifa and Lu Qichang, and stared intently into their eyes.
Although Li Wenbin was not their direct superior, he was a chief superintendent of police, just one step away from entering the ranks of the constitutional committee-level management.
Moreover, his father, Li Shutang, had a formidable network of connections among the older generation of the police force.
Therefore, Huang Qifa stood up without hesitation and solemnly said, "Damn it, I, Huang Qifa, swear before my badge that I will handle this matter strictly according to the law!"
Lu Qichang was a beat slow to react, but he also stood up: "Me...me too!"
"That's good. Remember, for now, only the four of us can know about this."
"Understood!" the three replied in unison.
Huang Qifa walked up to Shen Shaofeng, patted him hard on the shoulder, and his usual playful smile was gone from his face:
"Fung, if this is confirmed, you'll have helped West Kowloon rid itself of a cancer. I, Wong Fai-kai, owe you a favor."
Shen Shaofeng said solemnly, "Inspector Huang, you're exaggerating. Cleaning up our own ranks and upholding the reputation of the police force is the responsibility of all of us."
"Okay, let's go back and make the arrangements first."
Huang Qifa led Lu Qichang, whose expression was complicated, out of the office.
What a mess! They came here to sabotage the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau's B Division, but now this has resulted in a potential corrupt cop in West Kowloon, which will also affect the investigation into the Ni family and others.
Only Li Wenbin and Shen Shaofeng remained in the room.
Li Wenbin sat back down in his office chair, resting his chin on his right hand, and pondered for a moment:
"Shaofeng, what you just said—about the relationship between Huang Zhicheng, Han Chen, and Mary, and the speculation about Ni Kun's murder—was the source of your information reliable?"
Shen Shaofeng had already prepared his explanation:
"Boss, actually, I was already gathering intelligence on the Ni family before I even entered B1-2..."
He briefly repeated what he had told Wan Xihua before about why he was targeting the Ni family first.
"Actually, after graduating from police academy, I had already developed several informants. Some were underworld friends I knew from my time in the PTU; some were people I contacted through other channels, and some were even..."
Shen Shaofeng pointed upwards, and Li Wenbin immediately understood.
"As for the fact that Wong Chi-shing and Han Chen and his wife are childhood friends, I heard it by chance from a retired police officer. He worked in West Kowloon for thirty years and knows a lot of old stories."
Li Wenbin nodded and did not ask for further details.
In the police force, every commander at the inspector level or above has their own network of informants and intelligence sources. As long as the intelligence is useful and the source is legal, superiors usually do not investigate further.
"Shaofeng, you're becoming more and more sensible in your actions. At your age, I still only know how to act recklessly..."
Li Wenbin sighed, "However, Ni Yongxiao is different from his father. He's educated and knows how to clean up his act. In the past two years, the Ni family's business has become more and more legitimate, making it harder to investigate."
Shen Shaofeng sat down opposite Li Wenbin: "That's precisely why we can't let him go. Boss, think about it, a drug lord who started out in the business is now thinking about wearing suits and ties and acting like a legitimate businessman. Haha, if he really manages to go ashore, it would be a disgrace to our police force!"
Li Wenbin nodded involuntarily: "You're right. But the more this is the case, the more careful we need to be. Ni Yongxiao isn't some street thug who's wielding weapons; he knows how to protect himself with the law and how to use money to build connections. If you investigate him, you might encounter a lot of unseen resistance."
"I understand, boss, I won't do anything reckless."
"Go ahead and do it, but always remember, safety first. The Ni family has been able to stand strong in Tsim Sha Tsui for so many years, not by luck."
"If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime. I'll say it again: you're my good brother, Li Wenbin."
"Yes, sir!"
Shen Shaofeng stood up, saluted, and turned to leave the office.
……
Shen Shaofeng returned to his office and closed the door.
He leaned back in his office chair and tapped lightly on the desk.
He had anticipated that the West Kowloon Society would come knocking on his door to cause trouble, and he had even given Wan Hei-wah a heads-up beforehand.
Unexpectedly, Huang Qifa actually went directly to the O-Division chief to complain. Fortunately, I was more skilled and turned the tables on them.
Now that they in West Kowloon are busy investigating corrupt police officers, I also need to start the next step of my plan: to ignite the first fire within the ranks of the five leaders.
That fire started with Gandhi and Guohua.
There was nothing he could do. Guohua had gone too far, actually seducing his sworn brother's sister-in-law. Shen Shaofeng, always a man of great loyalty and righteousness, simply couldn't stand by and watch.
Thinking of this, Shen Shaofeng picked up the microphone: "Atai, come in for a moment."
……
A knock sounded on the door, and Lin Yongtai strode in carrying a folder.
"Sir Shen, you wanted to see me."
"Please sit down."
"How's it going? Have Ah Cong and the others been following along smoothly these past few days?"
Lin Yongtai opened the folder and began his report:
"Sir Shen, this is a preliminary report from Ah Cong and his team over the past five days, detailing their work on the Ni family and the five main leaders. I've compiled it."
Shen Shaofeng nodded: "Speak."
"First is Ni Yongxiao. He has a very regular schedule. He goes to work at the Ni Group at 10 a.m. every day and occasionally goes out to meet some business people. He usually goes back to the Ni family mansion in Deep Water Bay in the evening. He rarely socializes and lives a very low-key life."
"His businesses appear to be clean on the surface. He owns two trading companies, a restaurant, and several properties, and so far no obvious problems have been found."
Shen Shaofeng nodded. This was expected. Ni Yongxiao was trying to clear his name, so he would naturally put on a good show.
"continue."
Lin Yongtai turned to a certain page and continued:
"Guohua mainly manages several nightclubs and saunas. He lives a very high-profile life, spending almost every night at his establishments, always surrounded by a group of henchmen. But recently he's been getting very close to Gandhi's wife..."
