Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1050 Hand over the counterfeit currency case!

At this moment, Li Wenbin frowned slightly. What was going on? At the critical moment of competing for the position of deputy director of operations, would Watson be so kind as to give up such an important case?

Judging from the description just now, this gang that produced fake US dollars is very powerful, otherwise they would not have alarmed the people in the Finance Department, especially since Director Fan Weili personally spoke out. From this, we can see the importance of this case.

But would Watson really let me take on such an important case so easily?

Yes, he thought that Watson was giving this case to him. After all, in the entire police force, apart from Watson, Li Wenbin had the best case handling record.

Looking at everyone's gaze, Li Wenbin paused and said, "Director, I am willing to take over this case, but I need to form a case-handling team. I need the assistance of the Serious Crime Squad, the Commercial Crime Investigation Division, the Criminal Intelligence Division, and other departments."

At this point, even though Li Wenbin knew that this case was difficult to handle, he had to take it over, because he knew very well how great the contribution Watson had made. If he missed this case, he didn't know when he would be able to catch up with Watson.

Only by completing this counterfeit currency case successfully can the upper echelons of Hong Kong Island see their efforts.

Huang Bingyao looked at Li Wenbin and nodded. He was about to speak when suddenly, Ou Haolin stood up and said, "Director, and colleagues, I, Ou Haolin, have only been in the police force for a short time. Normally, I shouldn't stand up, but I also want to do my part for the police force."

"Although I don't have much experience in handling cases, I think it shouldn't be a problem for me to become Li Sir's deputy. This way I can also accumulate some experience in handling cases. I just don't know if Li Sir is willing to do it!"

As he spoke, he looked at Li Wenbin with a smile on his face. The people around him were slightly startled and all looked at Li Wenbin, waiting for his answer.

Li Wenbin frowned. He didn't expect that Qu Haolin was so shameless as to say that he wanted to be his deputy.

If he succeeds, he will have a share of the credit, but if he fails, who would blame a person who has just joined the police force? After all, he himself said that he has relatively little experience in handling cases. Damn it!

Li Wenbin pondered for a moment. He really wanted to refuse, but in the end he felt a little embarrassed. The other party said that he came to be his assistant to learn. If he still refused, wouldn’t it be a bit pretentious!

Li Wenbin during this period was still too thin-skinned, and not as experienced and ruthless as he was later on!

"Sir, I personally have no objection, but it still depends on the director's arrangements!"

"Okay, thank you Sir Li for your help!" Qu Haolin said with a smile and sat down, waiting for Huang Bingyao's decision. He believed that he could get what he wanted.

Huang Bingyao looked at this scene and his heart moved slightly. If Qu Haolin became Li Wenbin's deputy, then even if the case was handled very well, part of the credit would be divided by Qu Haolin, and the threat to Watson would be much smaller.

Thinking of this, he immediately said, "No problem. Then appoint Assistant Director Li Wenbin as the main person in charge of this counterfeit currency case, and Assistant Director Ou Haolin will assist him. At the same time, the Serious Crime Squad, the Commercial Crime Investigation Division, the Criminal Intelligence Division and other departments will assist. We must arrest this counterfeit currency production gang as soon as possible!"

Li Wenbin, Ou Haolin and the others all stood up and shouted loudly, "Yes, Sir!"

After the meeting, Li Wenbin suddenly called out, "Mr. Hua, do you have time? I still don't know much about this case, and I still need help from my colleagues in Organized Crime and Triads!"

Watson stopped and looked at the people around him. How could he not understand what Li Wenbin meant? He wanted to make it impossible for him to refuse in front of so many people!

However, he had not originally intended to refuse. After all, Fan Weili was very concerned about this case. If the case could not be solved because of his own reasons, Watson himself would feel bad. After all, Fan Weili knew him and had helped him a lot.

"Of course, no problem. This case is in the charge of Superintendent Ho Man-chon at Organized Crime and Triad Bureau. I'll have him report to you, Mr. Li, and he'll bring all the materials with him."

"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Hua!" Li Wenbin was a little surprised to see Watson agree so readily. He was still wondering whether Watson would shirk his responsibility and put himself in a deadlock!

After Watson returned to Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, he immediately called He Wenzhan to give him some instructions.

"Wenzhan, the counterfeit currency case is now in the hands of Li Wenbin. Take the materials to him and hand over the case!"

He Wenzhan heard this and said anxiously, "Hua Sir, we were the first to discover this counterfeit currency case. Why is Li Wenbin the one who is responsible?"

Watson looked at He Wenzhan's anxious look and said immediately, "Wenzhan, don't worry. Li Wenbin didn't take this case away. I handed it over on purpose."

"Judging from the way they silenced us, it's clear that this counterfeit money gang is very well-organized. It will take a long time and a large number of people to apprehend them. What we in Organized Crime and Triads lack most right now is time and manpower."

"I'm sure you're aware that the most important thing for us right now is to maintain stability in the Hong Kong underworld and prevent conflicts between those gangs. That way, once Hung Hing and Tung Sing stabilize, we can say that our contributions to the Organized Crime and Triad Society are greater than the sky, and everyone's promotion to a higher level won't be a dream!"

"At this critical moment, if we send people to handle this counterfeit currency case, not to mention whether we have enough manpower, even if we succeed, it will only be icing on the cake. If we fail, the consequences will be very serious. If those gangs suddenly show up at this time to grab territory, then all our efforts over the past six months will be wasted!"

"That's why I deliberately handed this counterfeit currency case over. At this time, maintaining the stability of various social groups in Hong Kong Island is the most important thing. I hope you can understand!"

He Wenzhan was silent for a moment, then let out a long breath and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hua, I wasn't thoughtful enough. Indeed, we in the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau don't have that many people to handle this case. Many of our brothers have been working around the clock, and everyone is exhausted."

It is not easy to keep an eye on those clubs. Almost all of them are active at night and sleep during the day. In addition, with so many clubs, the number of people to keep an eye on them is very tight. After all, not everyone can be monitored. There are also things to deal with during the day. This has led to many brothers in the Organized Crime and Triad Society working around the clock, and they are now exhausted.

Watson stood up, patted He Wenzhan's shoulder gently and said, "Wenzhan, don't be discouraged. From my current observation, it will be very difficult for Li Wenbin to solve this case. It won't be accomplished in a short time."

He didn't say the rest of the words, but He Wenzhan immediately understood what Watson meant, nodded heavily and said, "I understand!"
