Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1182 Zeng Xiangrong, No Longer Silent

As soon as Hua Sheng got out of the car at the police station, Chen Yongren, He Wenzhan, Li Wenbin and others who were waiting at the entrance of the building came over and began to report behind him.

“Wah Sir, the forensic doctor is currently performing an autopsy on Hu Zhiyong’s body. Also, ten minutes ago, we found the missing chef. He was dead, along with his wife and daughter. It seems the whole family was murdered.”

Upon hearing this, Hua Sheng paused, but without turning around, he said coldly, "It's impossible for a cook to commit the murder of Hu Zhiyong. They are not qualified to deliver food directly to the detention cell. The food delivery is the responsibility of the guards. Ask the guards what happened at the time."

Chen Yongren quickly realized what was going on. After all, it was impossible for the chef to poison all the food. Usually, the guards would take a few portions back with them after eating and distribute them to the other guards and people in the detention cells.

The fact that they were able to poison Hu Zhiyong so precisely without harming anyone else clearly indicates that someone was secretly cooperating; otherwise, it wouldn't have been such a coincidence.

If Xu Huaijing dies, there will be no one to take the blame for the people behind Z Foundation. Therefore, Xu Huaijing cannot die. The only option is to silence Hu Zhiyong, the legal advisor who knows a lot about the matter, forever.

"Yes, I'll send someone to inquire right away."

Li Wenbin hesitated for a moment, then leaned forward and whispered, "Wah Sir, I'm sorry, this time it's my fault. The guards are under the jurisdiction of the Major Crimes Unit. First, there was the case of someone accepting bribes and tipping off criminal suspects, and now this has happened. I..."

Watson raised his hand to stop the other person from speaking, and said in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to talk about these things. The most important thing is to find the person behind this. If our police force does not react when they attack the police force one after another, everyone will think that our police force is all useless and being trampled on."

"Investigate this matter thoroughly. Find out everyone involved, no matter who is implicated, understand?"

"Yes, sir!" the people behind him shouted in agreement.

Just then, Hua Sheng's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Huang Bingyao calling.

"Director!"

"You should be at the police station by now. What's the situation at the scene?"

Hua Sheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "The suspect, Hu Zhiyong, is dead. Also, about ten minutes ago, we discovered the bodies of the entire family of the chef involved. It seems they were silenced."

"Bang!" Huang Bingyao roared, "This is outrageous! Investigate this! I want to see who has the audacity to humiliate our police force like this."

"This is already the second time a criminal suspect has died within the police force. I don't want to see a third one. If that happens, our police force will be completely disgraced."

"Therefore, we must bring all the criminals to justice in this case. No matter who is involved, we must investigate to the end. If anyone involved is of a high status, you can ask me for instructions, and I will back you up!"

"I'm on my way to the Security Bureau. I'll leave the police department to you for now. After all, something big happened, and I need to explain things to you."

Watson nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Director, I will definitely uproot the people behind this."

After hanging up the phone, he led Chen Yongren and the others into the conference room. When he saw Zeng Xiangrong sitting on one side, Hua Sheng's pupils contracted and he even paused slightly, but then he walked to the head seat and sat down as if nothing had happened.

When he saw Zeng Xiangrong, a feeling welled up inside him: this matter was inextricably linked to the other party. He had no evidence, but it was just an intuition.

"Gentlemen, Inspector Wong is on his way to report to the Security Bureau, so I will be personally in charge of this case involving the death of a police suspect. Next..."

"Wah Sir, excuse me for interrupting."

Just as Hua Sheng was about to assign tasks to the various departments, he heard someone speaking and interrupted him. He turned his head and looked at Zeng Xiangrong, who had been acting as an invisible man.

At this moment, Zeng Xiangrong had a faint smile on his face: "Wah Sir, this is the second case of a criminal suspect dying in the police force. It is extremely serious."

"Of course, I'm not targeting anyone in particular, but I just want to say that the operations department bears an unshirkable responsibility in this matter. The first time it happened, everyone could just accept that it was a sudden incident, but no one expected that the criminals would dare to kill someone inside the police station."

"But now that a second one has happened, I can already imagine how the reporters will report on our police force tomorrow after they get the news. They'll say we're all good-for-nothings, boasting so much every day, but getting our faces crushed by someone's feet."

"What did you say!" Ma Jun stood up angrily, pointing at Zeng Xiangrong and shouting, "What did you say?"

As a police superintendent and one of Watson's confidants, he was qualified to attend this meeting.

Although Zeng Xiangrong didn't name names, everyone could tell from the sarcastic tone that he was targeting Hua Sheng, since Hua Sheng was currently the most powerful figure in the police force.

To outsiders, Watson was synonymous with the police force.

Before Zeng Xiangrong could speak, a chief superintendent from the management department stood up and reprimanded him, "Insolence! Is this how you talk to your superiors?"

Seeing this, Li Wenbin stared coldly at the chief superintendent and uttered a single word: "Shut up!"

Upon hearing this, many people present turned their gazes to Li Wenbin, their eyes filled with astonishment. Even Zeng Xiangrong couldn't help but take a deep look at Li Wenbin, not expecting that Li Wenbin would defect to Hua Sheng in such a short time.

It seems that his previous reputation was all just boasting. It looks like Li Shutang, that fierce tiger, has given birth to a worthless son!

However, now that his subordinates are being reprimanded, he, as the boss, naturally has to stand up for them.

"Li Sir, shouldn't the one who should be shut up be the one standing up and questioning me? How dare an ordinary superintendent treat me, the deputy commissioner, with such an attitude? Isn't that a bit too unruly?"

Faced with this situation, Hua Sheng sneered and clapped his hands: "Zeng Xiangrong, you've got guts to play this game with me. Now that you've jumped out, it seems you're very confident. Show us your cards. There's no need to play these petty tricks."

"But let me make this clear beforehand: you'd better bring me down in one fell swoop, or else the consequences won't be good for you, understand?"
