Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 795 Financial Secretary William Fan

Half an hour later, Watson and Mr. Huo met again in a private room of a teahouse that had been in business for decades.

"Mr. Huo, I really have no choice this time, so I have to trouble you, I'm sorry!"

Mr. Huo smiled generously and said, "Mr. Hua, you helped me back then, and now I help you. Isn't this normal? The matter that can make Mr. Hua feel troubled must be quite big. I don't know what it is. How can I help you!"

His words were full of sincerity, without any excuses, and listening to them made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.

Watson's expression couldn't help but relax a bit, and then he told him everything about Lin Kun, William and Philip.

"Mr. Huo, this William has been trafficking drugs with Lin Kun for eight years, harming countless Hong Kong Island residents. Now I have caught Lin Kun and pried him open to get him to give up William."

"But William's father is Philip, the chief secretary of the Administrative Department. With his power, it is difficult for us to prosecute William."

"Considering that Philip is a popular candidate for the next governor, I would like to ask Mr. Huo to help me make a connection and contact the Secretary for Finance, Mr. Fan Weili."

After listening to what Watson said, the shrewd Mr. Huo immediately understood what Watson meant.

"You want to use Director Fan's power to suppress Philip's power. This is indeed a good idea. However, although Fan Weili is qualified to participate in the election, he is the weakest among the three."

"Because he has an egoistic personality, although he has very strong working abilities, he is weak in social skills. He has even offended many people, which makes it difficult for him to win the election for governor."

"After all, the Governor is a person who needs to balance the forces of all parties to ensure the smooth development of Hong Kong Island, not a dictator who has offended countless people and has an egocentric personality!"

Hearing this, Watson frowned. Yes, it is not yet the time for the plot of "Burning City". Fan Weili has not lost his family yet, nor has he learned his lesson. He is still the official who advocates simplifying customs procedures and approving the entry of "foreign garbage" in order to stimulate the economy of Hong Kong Island!

Although this did stimulate the economy of Hong Kong Island, it also laid the seeds of disaster. After all, only God knows what is in these "foreign garbage", and various radioactive substances are definitely present.

Thinking of this, Watson's heart sank. Fan Weili was not a good candidate at the moment, but there was no one else except him.

Although Fan Weili has many shortcomings now, he is still much better than Philip, Peter Crew and others.

Among the short people, the tallest one can only support Fan Weili.

"Mr. Huo, I understand what you said, but compared to the other two, Director Fan is already very good, don't you think?"

Mr. Huo paused, thought for a moment and then said helplessly, "Really? He is the best choice right now. OK, I understand. I will help you contact him now. Let's have dinner together tonight and I will introduce you to each other then."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Huo!" Watson stood up and bowed respectfully.

Mr. Huo quickly stood up and supported Watson and said, "Hey, we are friends. Isn't it normal for friends to help each other? Don't worry, I will help you persuade Director Fan tonight. He is a stubborn person, so you have to be mentally prepared."

Watson nodded heavily and said, "Okay, Mr. Huo!"

......

That evening, a farmhouse by the sea was bustling with people.

From the outside, this is just an ordinary farm house, but inside it is a different world. The best way to describe it is small bridges, flowing water and people's homes.

Looking around, you feel like you have traveled back to ancient times, with a low-key and luxurious feel.

At this time, in a private room, Watson and Mr. Huo were already waiting there.

As the door of the private room was pushed open, Fan Weili walked in with a smile on his face, and Watson and Mr. Huo immediately stood up to greet him.

"Brother Fan, you are such a busy man that it's hard to make an appointment with someone like you. I finally got you out this time."

Fan Weili said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I've been too busy with work recently." Then he looked at Watson and said, "Who is this?"

Watson immediately introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Fan, I am the Deputy Commander of the Narcotics Investigation Division of the Police Force, Senior Superintendent Watson!"

"Watson, Watson! Oh, I've heard of your name. You're a super cop in the police force. You've solved many big cases and are known as the crime killer!" Fan Weili thought for a moment and immediately thought of Watson.

Watson smiled modestly and said, "This is all thanks to the help of my brothers. Otherwise, I would not have been able to solve so many cases by myself."

"Hahaha, don't be so modest. Please sit down. Mr. Huo and I are old acquaintances. Since he brought you here, we are friends. Don't be polite!" Fan Weili walked towards the chair with a smile.

Mr. Huo also smiled and said, "That's right, Mr. Hua, please don't be polite. Old Fan hates being polite. Come and sit down!"

After the three of them sat down, Mr. Huo spoke first, "Old Fan, I came to you this time because I need to discuss something with you. It's a serious matter, so I chose this place that is more hidden."

Fan Weili restrained the smile on his face and said solemnly: "It seems that the matter that you, Old Huo, think is important is not small. Tell me, what is it!"

Watson did not hide anything and directly repeated what happened to Lin Kun, William, Philip and others. This was the third time he had said it today.

After that, Watson continued, "Mr. Fan, Philip is clearly trying to use his power to help his son William get away with the crime. If William is really acquitted, then I really don't deserve to wear this police uniform, and I won't deserve the badge on the brim of my hat!"

Fan Weili raised his head, looked directly at Watson and said, "Are you sure William is involved in drug trafficking? Don't lie to me. If you lie to me, you will have one more enemy!"

Watson said solemnly: "I am sure, and this is not just my guess. When we arrested Lin Kun, we caught him in a villa by the sea. And we also got evidence from Lin Kun, which is the account book he kept over the years."

"He and William split the money 50-50. 50% of the money from drug trafficking went to William."

“Although William was not directly involved in drug trafficking, he provided funds to Lin Kun and helped Lin Kun to establish connections with the customs, allowing his goods to arrive in Hong Kong Island safely.”

"So, William is indeed involved in drug trafficking."
