Chapter 277 Black Police 2
Chapter 277 Black Police 2
After a period of tracking and observation, Luo Ji and his team discovered several individuals who had been smuggled into the identity-replacement program by the Special Branch. These individuals had murky pasts, having previously performed shady acts for the Special Branch. Their professional backgrounds were diverse and varied.
Among them, several had previously served as police officers, and Luo Ji and his team focused their attention on them. One of them, Mike Deng, was a chef, but his behavior was suspicious. Therefore, Luo Ji and his team decided to use him as a starting point for their investigation.
On a dark and windy night, Luo Ji and his team took decisive action and kidnapped Mike Dun. In the following time, they used a "memory recovery technique" on Mike Dun, using various means to make him recall the past.
After some twists and turns, McDeng finally confessed. While Luo Ji and his team's methods were somewhat unscrupulous, it was undeniably effective. Through McDeng's confession, they learned some details about Jin Tian's operations.
Luo Ji reported these circumstances to Hua Di in detail. Hua Di decided to meet Cheney in person to verify whether McDeng's testimony was true. After a secret meeting, Cheney confirmed everything McDeng said.
With solid evidence in hand, Huadi immediately informed Li Wenbin of the entire situation. After some discussion, the two worked together to develop a detailed plan. Finally, they went to Director Li Shutang and presented their plan. After listening to their report, Li Shutang approved of the plan and worked with them to plan the next steps.
First, the unexpected thing was that the division of labor between Lu Qichang and Li Wenbin had been completely reversed! This change shocked Jin Tian. After all, she had always wanted to be in charge of Ni Kun's case, and now this wish had been fulfilled so easily, which was really unexpected!
In this way, Jin Tian could fully utilize her power to exonerate Ni Kun. Although she had already begun looking for a replacement for Ni Kun, after all, "it's better to work with the familiar than to work with the new." Ni Kun was the person she worked with most easily. Moreover, Ni Kun had always been very respectful to her, which made Jin Tian favor him even more.
If Ni Kun could be successfully saved, that would undoubtedly be the ideal outcome. Ni Kun had so many people under his command, it wouldn't be difficult to find a few to serve as scapegoats.
However, Jin Tian was deeply displeased. Although she and Li Wenbin had swapped roles, she was surprised to discover that none of her subordinates were truly capable. Both Lu Qichang and Huadi treated her with a perfunctory attitude. On the surface, they appeared respectful, but in reality, they simply ignored her orders and ignored their instructions. This truly infuriated Jin Tian!
What's worse is that Jin Tian's application to transfer her original subordinates has been shelved by the upper management and has not been approved yet, which undoubtedly brought great obstacles to her work.
Although Jin Tian is now the person in charge of the Ni Kun case, it is difficult for her to access the files and archives. It is not that she does not have the authority, but that Lu Qichuang really disobeys her and always makes excuses. So even though Jin Tian has been transferred for three days, she still doesn't know much about the files of the Ni Kun case, and she is even less sure how much information Lu Qichuang has investigated.
Yet, despite a hint of anxiety within, she didn't show any impatience on the surface. She knew that no matter what information Lu Qichang had uncovered, as long as he planned to launch an operation, he would have to report it to her. After all, without her approval, Lu Qichang would likely struggle to mobilize sufficient manpower to apprehend Ni Kun. Sure enough, not long after, Lu Qichang hurried over to Jin Tian to report a plan to target Ni Kun.
After hearing Lu Qichuang's report, Jin Tian's face showed admiration, and she highly praised Lu Qichuang's work. However, beneath this seemingly harmonious appearance, Jin Tian was secretly playing tricks. She quietly sent the action plan to Ni Kun via email.
It's worth noting that the internet was still in its infancy at the time, making it difficult to track down a person's true identity and information. However, Lu Qichang wasn't worried, as his real goal wasn't to stop Jin Tian from transmitting operational information, but to verify whether Jin Tian was truly a corrupt police officer, as Li Wenbin claimed.
In fact, even though Li Wenbin had already informed Lu Qichang that Jin Tian was a corrupt cop, Lu Qichang still had doubts. The reason was simply that Jin Tian's performance at work was flawless, without a trace of flaw. Furthermore, Jin Tian and Lu Qichang were classmates at the police academy and had a good personal relationship.
Therefore, Lu Qichang decided to cooperate with Li Wenbin's plan and deliberately withheld the important information from Jin Tian. However, he still had doubts about Jin Tian in his heart, so he planned a special operation to test Jin Tian's true position.
The operation was actually a feint, and besides Lu Qichang himself, only Jin Tian knew its true purpose. When the final results were laid before Lu Qichang, he was shocked to find that all the evidence pointed to Jin Tian as a corrupt police officer. Faced with this irrefutable evidence, Lu Qichang was finally forced to believe Jin Tian's true identity.
Now that Jin Tian's identity had been confirmed, Lu Qichuang followed Li Wenbin's instructions without hesitation. Li Wenbin's plan was actually quite simple: he and Jin Tian divided the work and exchanged tasks, a move simply to stabilize Jin Tian and prevent him from becoming suspicious.
What Li Wenbin was truly waiting for was the extradition of the man, now known as Mike Deng, back to Hong Kong. That's right, extradition. Since Mike Deng was a South African citizen, extraditing him back to Hong Kong wouldn't be easy. However, if they wanted to legally convict Jin Tian, they couldn't just sneak Mike Deng back to Hong Kong; they had to go through the formal extradition process.
In addition, handing Ni Kun's case over to Jin Tian also had another important purpose, which was to allow Jin Tian to expose more flaws in the process. This way, the police could have a more comprehensive grasp of Jin Tian's criminal evidence, thus ensuring that his conviction was foolproof.
Ni Kun's case remained stalled, but this apparent stagnation was actually a carefully considered strategy by the police. They chose to hold back for now to ensure a more secure conviction for Ni Kun in the future. After all, if the corrupt cops hiding within the force were not eradicated, even successfully bringing Ni Kun to justice would not fundamentally resolve the problem. As long as these corrupt cops remained, more drug lords would emerge like mushrooms after rain.
In fact, besides Jin Tian, there are many other corrupt cops lurking within the police force. They collude openly or covertly with drug traffickers, providing them with information and facilitating various conditions. Some even directly act as the masterminds behind certain underworld organizations, manipulating the course of criminal activity. The presence of these corrupt cops not only severely undermines public order but also makes police work more difficult.
The ICAC is not completely unaware of the activities of these corrupt police officers. They have been secretly investigating and have already obtained some solid evidence. However, the frustrating reality is that the ICAC is still controlled by the Chinese. This means that many corrupt police officers are actually just puppets and spokespersons in the hands of the Chinese, who are backed by powerful forces.
Although Wah Di has successfully obtained evidence of Jin Tian's crimes, not all of this evidence can be used immediately. Some of it must wait for the extradition of McDun, while other evidence was provided by Cheney. However, Cheney's evidence cannot be used yet because Cheney is a crucial trump card for Wah Di and cannot be easily exposed.
As Wah Di and his team closely monitor the situation, an unexpected situation occurs: the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) suddenly intervenes. This action makes the already complex situation even more complicated and confusing, forcing Wah Di and his team to reassess the situation and formulate a new response strategy.
