Chapter 857: Putting Gratitude Into Practice

The 30 million RMB robbery was solved within 48 hours of the incident.

According to the agreement between Shi Lei and the Hong Kong police, no topic about Shi Lei was mentioned in the police notice.

The confidence of the Hong Kong people in the police's execution ability has been strengthened incomparably. The local media in Hong Kong also promoted the positive image of the police. The Commissioner of Police repeatedly spoke in the media, saying that Hong Kong is the safest city on earth.

This climax has nothing to do with Shi Lei, but the fact that the public is not aware of it does not mean that the Hong Kong police are not aware of it.

In any case, this case was actually solved by Shi Lei alone, and the Hong Kong police must show enough respect for Shi Lei.

So, after understanding how Shi Lei solved this case, the police held an internal commendation meeting for Shi Lei.

The Chief Executive did not attend, but also sent his assistant to express his gratitude to Shi Lei for helping the Hong Kong police maintain a positive image.

The Chief Executive's assistant found Shi Lei for a private conversation and said that the Chief Executive was very interested in knowing how Shi Lei found Xu Lezhong.

Of course, the matter of the Dark Night Eyes could not be told to the other party, but Shi Lei had also thought of an excuse.

Shi Lei said that he had the same idea as the police, and they both believed that there must be a mole in the bank.

However, the director who finally helped Xu Lezhong to handle the cashing and transfer procedures of the promissory note was not very suspicious, because he could not know in advance that the promissory note issued by Shi Lei, and it would be difficult to notify his accomplices to rob after knowing it.

The possibility of the two security guards was not high either, after all, they only knew that Shi Lei had a huge sum of money, and they only knew it vaguely when Shi Lei was about to leave the bank.

The focus of suspicion fell on the vice president and the lobby manager.

Unlike the police, Shi Lei thought that the vice president from the mainland was not very suspicious. After all, for him, continuing to be promoted was the biggest guarantee, and he could not always keep his accomplices in Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, Shi Lei believed that the lobby manager was the most suspicious. So, he asked someone to investigate the lobby manager's background and learned that she was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage when she was a child and was later adopted. However, a few years ago, her friend from the orphanage contacted her again, and that person worked in an investment company. Coincidentally, Shi Lei also found out that the investment company had also had a huge robbery a year ago.

In the end, Shi Lei said that he focused his attention on Xu Lezhong. He had no evidence and could not notify the police. As a result, after meeting Xu Lezhong, Xu Lezhong felt guilty and lied to the police with a few words.

In this way, Shi Lei identified the four robbers without much effort, and Kunzai and Ada both showed remorse and were willing to cooperate in surrendering, so Shi Lei thought about letting the three of them meet and give them a chance to surrender.

But unexpectedly, Xu Lezhong actually snatched Ada's gun and tried to escape. Shi Lei had no choice but to defend himself, and finally accidentally injured Xu Lezhong.

The assistant of the Chief Executive expressed his gratitude and admiration for Shi Lei, and said that the Chief Executive was willing to meet Shi Lei privately and have a meal together.

Shi Lei agreed, of course. Then, at the police's internal commendation meeting, Shi Lei was invited to the podium to accept the thanks of more than 500 representatives of Hong Kong Island police at all levels.

Sitting on the podium, watching the thunderous applause from the audience, Shi Lei's mind moved.

It is necessary to make these people more intimate with themselves than 20 points, otherwise, these people's gratitude cannot be converted into reputation points.

So, after obtaining the consent of the Commissioner of Police, Shi Lei walked down the stage, shook hands with each policeman seriously, and remembered each other's police number one by one. This is not a particularly difficult thing for Shi Lei's current memory ability. In fact, Shi Lei can remember every police number and its corresponding face. Although those people were not asked to report their positions and names one by one, Shi Lei can definitely correspond to each person through the police number.

Shi Lei took the trouble to shake hands with each of the more than 500 policemen. This made the policemen feel that although Shi Lei's move was a bit time-consuming and laborious, it showed that Shi Lei was an extremely humble person. Everyone had a better impression of him, and their gratitude for helping the police maintain their image became more sincere.

The Commissioner of Police was even more grateful to Shi Lei, and would rather extend the commendation meeting that was originally more than half an hour to nearly an hour.

When the Commissioner of Police announced the use of the 30 million RMB recovered by Shi Lei at the commendation meeting, the audience remembered the long-lasting applause.

There are many wealthy people in Hong Kong Island who do charity, and there are large and small charity dinners every year, but it is relatively rare to spend 30 million RMB at a time, and it is used for scientific research.

Even if everyone knows that once Ding Yu's research institute has a breakthrough, Shi Lei will definitely get some shares, but this is still a great contribution to scientific research.

The policemen in the audience all hold official positions and have a higher level of education. They naturally understand that the significance of such donations is far more valuable than ordinary charity.

Especially when the police chief said that Shi Lei's donation of 30 million RMB was only one of the phases, and he would continue to donate to Ding Yu's research institute in the future, the applause from the audience seemed to be unstoppable.

After the commendation meeting, Shi Lei asked about it, and the police chief asked the deputy director in charge of this case to report the handling of the case to Shi Lei.

As the main culprit, Xu Lezhong was seriously injured and fell into a coma before he arrived at the hospital.

After the doctor performed the operation on him, he said that his life was not in danger, but the fracture of the spine would make Xu Lezhong lose the ability to move normally. If he recovers better in the future, he can barely walk upright. If he doesn't recover well enough, he may have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Because Xu Lezhong had threatened with a gun, the police decided to punish him severely, and the court said it would cooperate.

Ada and Kunzai surrendered themselves, and the police confirmed this from Shi Lei's testimony. In addition, the two were extremely cooperative in their confessions, and even confessed the cases they had done in the past, and took the initiative to return all the remaining funds in their accounts.

Therefore, the police decided to give Ada and Kunzai a lighter sentence, and the court naturally cooperated unconditionally, and would consider the sentencing.

As for the lobby manager named Xiaoduo, when she learned that Xu Lezhong and the other three had been arrested, she no longer had any fluke mentality and honestly confessed everything.

There was no intention to give her a lighter sentence, nor was there any intention to increase the punishment. Basically, it depends on how the court decides.

The Chief Executive's assistant was still waiting for Shi Lei. Such a dinner would naturally require the participation of the Commissioner of Police.

After the meeting, the Chief Executive smiled very brightly and took the initiative to extend his hand to Shi Lei.

On the one hand, he expressed his gratitude to Shi Lei for helping the police maintain their image. On the other hand, he also thanked Shi Lei for his help in Hong Kong's scientific research.

"Mr. Shi, I really want to thank you very much. If there are more entrepreneurs like you who care about the development of science and technology, we can save a lot of worries. I have asked people to pay special attention to Mr. Ding's research institute. When necessary, the Hong Kong government will also provide certain policy support for it."

Shi Lei smiled and expressed his gratitude to the Chief Executive on behalf of Ding Yu. His attitude was extremely calm, not at all like the attitude that a young man in his early twenties should have when facing a vice-national level cadre.
