Chapter 366 Chief Chinese Detective

The world never revolves for anyone, nor does it work without anyone. Time came to January 1957.

The storm of Yan Tong's death passed quickly and had no impact at all. If there is any impact, it is probably that when Yan Tong was alive, people said he was powerful and wanted to be valued and promoted by him. But now, when people talk about him, all the evil things he did in the past are dug up and exposed, and they all say he fell on the street, and they talk about the specific cause of his death with relish.

Wang Yan took over Yan Tong's industry and his influence in the police force very smoothly. He recommended a young man with a good resume to take the vacant Central Inspector. Of course, this young man was 30 years old.

And Lei Luo, his number one younger brother, was also taken care of by Wang Yan. He was promoted to Senior Inspector at the beginning of the year. And he was preparing to arrange for him to be Inspector at the end of the year.

Chen Tong, who was already not young, gave a clear indication that he would be allowed to work until retirement in 1960, which was enough. Compared to the original Chen Tong who only worked until 1952 and was bullied by a small scoundrel like Rattlesnake after retirement, this is much better. Moreover, Chen Tong's eldest son has now joined the police force as a plainclothes officer and inherited his legacy.

Chen Tong is a wise man who maximizes the benefits of his relationship with Wang Yan. He has made enough money and returned home to enjoy his retirement life. If there is something, using Wang Yan's name is enough to solve most of the troubles. Although he can continue to work until 1960, it is already a reward from Wang Yan, but he is shameless to bring his son in, and Wang Yan will not ignore it.

Wang Yan understands all these thoughts, but he doesn't care much. An old man is shameless to seek a future for his son and for the future prosperity of the family, which is understandable.

As for Lan Gang...

At the innermost table of Chang'e Milk Tea Shop in Tsim Sha Tsui, Wang Yan's family of six, each holding a cup of milk tea, gathered together to play poker and draw turtles. There is no such way of playing here, and it was taught by someone named Wang.

Being a detective in Tsim Sha Tsui is not a difficult job. He invited his men to have a drink and basically the job was done. If they could solve the problem, they would definitely solve it themselves. If they couldn't solve it, they would definitely ask him for help.

So he was free again, wandering around with his wife and children. Today he went shopping to buy clothes for the children. It happened to be raining, so he went to a milk tea shop to sit and play for a while.

Xiaoyue's chubby little hands were testing the only two cards left by her father, hesitant. She looked at her father with her big eyes, hoping to see some clues on his face and eyes.

But unfortunately, her father had no expression on his face.

Finally, her patience ran out. She reached out and grabbed a card with a desperate attitude, but found that her father raised his mouth slightly: "No, I choose this one."

Wang Yan had no expression on his face: "Are you sure? You really don't want to think about it again?"

"No, just this one, open the card." The little guy was very proud, and his voice couldn't help but get louder. He pulled out the card fiercely and slammed it on the table.

"Dad, you are so cunning..." Seeing the big ghost on the table, Xiaoyue looked at her smiling father dejectedly, and didn't forget to glare at her two younger brothers who had already laughed to their hearts' content.

Wang Yan looked at her with a smile: "Hurry up, it's my turn to draw, and you will be a little turtle soon."

Miss Bai was too lazy to pay attention to them. She felt that this game was very wrong, because no matter who lost or won, weren't all of them turtles? Even though she and her three sons had already run away…

“Hmph, it’s definitely not me this time.” Xiaoyue grabbed the king and put it together with the card in her hand, flipping it up and down, left and right. After a while, she stopped, put the two cards on the table, and signaled her father to choose a card with her eyes.

After a long time of flipping it back and forth, she herself didn’t know which one was which, so she didn’t believe her father could know.

Wang Yan really knew, after all, she flipped it in front of him, and he saw it clearly. Without hesitation, he picked up a card and put it together with his own cards. Just when he was about to add some suspense before the cards were opened to stir up the atmosphere, a plainclothes officer pushed the door open and walked in: "Brother Yan."

"What's the matter?"

"Lan Gang, Han Sen, and Li Yiwen are waiting for you at the police station. The patrolling uniform just said that they saw you here."

Nodding, Wang Yan stood up and said, "Okay, Daddy won't play with you anymore. Let's talk about it when we get home. Let's go, Miss Bai."

"No, Daddy, you are cheating. You run away when you see you are going to lose." As he spoke, Xiaoyue turned over the two cards of her father... "Well... Daddy, you should go quickly. It's rude to make people wait too long..."

Looking at the shameless and laughing good girl who was covering the cards with her little hands, Wang Yan laughed and scratched her little nose, turned around and left the milk tea shop, and the plainclothes officer held an umbrella to get in the car and return to the police station.

In the inspector's office at the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station, Lan Gang and others were restless, worried that they could not control the situation. Seeing Wang Yan open the door and walk in, the three of them stood up quickly, keeping a low profile. Of course, they couldn't stand up even if they wanted to.

"Sit down, sit down, sit down and talk. The three of you are all majestic detectives. We are all on the same level, so there's no need to be so polite." As he spoke, he sat down on the large and comfortable chair behind the desk.

How dare the three of them do this? Lan Gang, who has the highest status, accompanied him with a smile: "Brother Yan is joking, how can we be on an equal footing with you? Today we are here to apologize to Brother Yan. We were not sensible before, and we hope that Brother Yan will not follow us." Don't worry, give us a chance to change our ways. Brother Yan, don't worry, we will follow your lead."

Han Sen also expressed his position: "Yes, Brother Yan, we will listen to you from now on."

Li Yiwen, the lowest-ranking man, nodded repeatedly and agreed.

They can be considered realistic, of course, for this reason, and they cannot be unrealistic. When they came over, they were convinced and surrendered, so they simply said it openly.

Originally, they thought very well. After taking over Yan Tong's power, Wang Yan would definitely seek to completely unify the Chinese police. As the only three remaining top detectives who control nearly half of the detectives in the Holy Land, they certainly have the capital to negotiate. According to their expectations, Wang Yan will definitely send someone to contact them and talk to them, and they can also put forward self-interested conditions. But the reality is often the opposite, and they are wrong.

Wang Yan didn't bother them at all, and even those who wanted to stumble in the business didn't take any action. Because even though Lan Gang and the others had already lost their temper with their detectives, when they no longer had the ability to cause any obstacles to Wang Yan, the detectives were not fools, so how could they believe their words. He promised well at first, but later he took the initiative to find Wang Yan and expressed his surrender.

Without Yan Tong and his group, the anti-king front included about twenty people including Lan Gang and others. In the past month, a dozen people had abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, breaking away from Lan Gang and the others.

They couldn't stand it any longer, so they came here to express their surrender.

Wang Yan waved his hand with a smile: "Sit down, we have to have a good talk."

After hearing what he said, the other people sat down straightly. It’s not that you guys don’t know how to sit. The police force has rules. Every police officer from top to bottom knows about it, but few people ask them to sit properly.

"If you have any ideas, tell me."

Lan Gang said without thinking: "Everything is according to Brother Yan's instructions. I just hope that Brother Yan will consider our difficulties. We still have a family to support."

The other two nodded in agreement.

Wang Yan nodded, picked up the cigarettes on the table, took out one and lit it himself, then threw it to a few cigar smokers and blew out the smoke gently: "I understand what you mean, I am tolerant of others. Yes, I won't behave like a defeated bandit. You can rest assured. Whatever you do now will be whatever you do in the future. As long as you abide by my rules, everything will be fine.

As for your property, I won’t hide it from you. After swallowing up Yan Tong’s property, Longteng’s funds are now somewhat tight, so it cannot pay you the full amount. As for the specific price, how to pay it back, someone will come to you to discuss it later. Is there any problem? "

The three people quickly expressed their opinions: "No, it all depends on Brother Yan." They really didn't expect that it would be so easy. The conditions were relatively favorable, so there would be no problems.

Comparing themselves with others and thinking from his perspective, if they were Wang Yan, they would definitely transfer Wang Yan to a position where there is no profit or water, and try their best to suppress him and completely suppress him to death. They admired the magnanimity and magnanimity of letting go so gently now.

"Since there is no problem, you should go back first and wait for my people to contact you."

The three of them nodded, said a few polite words, and left the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station. The moment they stepped out of the door of the detective's office marked that Detective Wang had gone from a small uniformed policeman to the top of the Chinese police force in more than seven years.

In fact, it is said that the police force is keeping a low profile. From this moment on, he is the number one Chinese in Hong Kong and Kowloon. Longteng is the largest company in Hong Kong and Kowloon. After annexing and digesting the industries of several detectives, Longteng will have an even more rapid expansion period. In a place where money speaks for itself, his influence is unquestionable. Those other justices of the peace and those who were awarded honorary titles by Queen Ying are all rubbish. Although he can't make others do what he says, his influence is there. Counting the nearly 10,000 Chinese police officers under his direct control, he is the most powerful in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

Of course he is not that magnanimous, but Lan Gang and the others really can't make a few waves, so there is no need to waste their energy. He is still younger than these people. Even if he retires, these people will not dare to act recklessly. There is nothing to worry about. Trying to control Lan Gang and others would not give him any sense of accomplishment, but would make him feel worthless. So there is no need to dwell on things that can be explained clearly in three sentences.

Three detectives, Lan Gang, Han Sen, and Li Yiwen, surrendered. The Chinese police officers became a family, and the news spread like wildfire.

Not to mention that Wang Yan received many calls from interested parties, the foreign devils didn't feel very good. Because originally they wanted to balance, but Yan Tong died, and the remaining few people surrendered unsatisfactoryly, how could they achieve balance?

What made them even more irritated was that at the end of January, a few days before the Chinese New Year, the two chief detectives, who had only been in office for a few years, all approached William and applied for retirement. The words are consistent, saying that he is too old to serve and hopes to return home and be raised in honor until he dies.

In fact, these two chief detectives are also capable, but in their upward journey, they inevitably fail to take into account the interests of those below. After the detective involution began, they also started building factories, but they were promoted later and could not be promoted, and were eventually given to Wang Yan, Yan Tong and others. They didn't expect Wang Yan to be so violent. The originally balanced situation ended within three days...

Now Wang Yan is in charge of all Chinese police officers. The two of them are blocking the way, and his subordinates have no power to counter them. If they don't leave, they will die a miserable death. What's more, they recently participated in a senior amateur swimming competition organized by Longteng Tea to advertise energy drinks, and both won generous prizes...

Wan Chai, the Hong Kong Island Police Headquarters located on Arsenal Street, which was newly built only four years ago and named Cain-Mai Building.

Commissioner of Police Maxwell and a group of senior police officers above the level of Assistant Commissioner sat in two rows for the meeting, and Director William in charge of the Criminal Investigation Department was among them.

After listening to William's report, Maxwell couldn't help shaking his head: "The Chief Inspector was forced to resign..."

"I heard that they participated in the swimming competition organized by Wang."

Hearing this, Maxwell stared at the assistant director who was speaking with sharp eyes: "Shut up, haven't you won a prize? We are now discussing how to curb Wang Yan's prestige among the Chinese in the police force, not asking you to say these useless nonsense."

The assistant director lowered his head and said nothing, but couldn't help curling his lips, son of a bitch, just count the number of your wins, and you still want to curb your mother...

"We have no choice, Director Chief, now all Chinese police officers obey his orders. Our fellow detectives have to notify Wang Yan first when they want to do something, because without Wang Yan's approval, they can't mobilize their Chinese police officers at all. "

"Not only in the Operations Department, as far as I know, there are also some civilian Chinese police officers in various police stations including our headquarters who are actively approaching Wang Yan. If this continues, I'm afraid that in a few years, even we will have to ask him for instructions when we do things."

...

One after another, the senior police officers said how incredible Wang Yan is now, and expressed their concerns about the future.

Maxwell looked at William, who had been silent, and said, "You are Wang Yan's superior, William, tell me what you think."

"Director, no matter how powerful Wang Yan is, he is always under our command, and his power is given by us." William cleared his throat and said, "No interest group can truly unite, and always seek unity in struggle. The same is true for the Chinese police officers in the police force now. We have to admit that Wang Yan is a damn genius. He has only been in the police force for seven years and he is also the richest businessman in Hong Kong Island.

Now he has reached the highest level among the Chinese, and there are only a few places with rich oil and water. I think it is time for them to start fighting for their interests, just like we did originally, but now Wang Yan is the referee. So why can't we take advantage of this?"

The meeting room was silent for a while, and everyone was thinking about William's words.

Maxwell was able to become the director, so he was naturally not a waste. He had considered what William said before and had a plan in mind. The meeting was just to hope that his subordinates would give him some highly feasible new suggestions. But unfortunately, they didn't.

And the most important thing is that Wang Yan is too rich. If Wang Yan is from their country and has the same face as them, he might have got an honorary title now based on what Wang Yan has shown. Of course, that was his secret sigh. What he wanted to say was that among his compatriots sitting here, there must be someone working for Wang Yan.

This is understandable. Although they hold power, it is normal for them to help Wang Yan in order to return to their hometown after retirement and live a carefree life with their grandchildren. In fact, if he was not the Commissioner of Police, he might have made the same choice. After all, to be honest, he might be the one who participated in the most activities of the Longteng Organization among these people, and he had the largest amount of bonuses...

After a while, Maxwell said: "I have decided to add the position of Chief Chinese Inspector, who will lead all Chinese police officers in the police force, and Wang Yan will take the position. At the same time, three Chief Inspectors will be set up in Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories, reporting to Wang Yan, and they can also report directly to the Criminal Investigation Department. Lan Gang will be the Chief Inspector of Hong Kong Island, Han Sen will be the Chief Inspector of the New Territories, and the Chief Inspector of Kowloon will be recommended by Wang Yan. Now, vote by raising your hands." After saying that, he raised his right hand and looked at the senior police officers present.

The others were stunned for a moment, then reacted, raised their hands with a smile, and passed unanimously...

"I recommend Li Yiwensheng to be the Chief Inspector of Kowloon."

At the Kowloon Regional Police Station, Wang Yan gently flicked off the ashes of the burnt cigarette butt with his slender fingers, and smiled at William opposite him.

Just like the original play, when the foreign devils were about to move Lei Luo, the foreign devils said that politics was their forte. This is a very clever political tactic, but not a very clever one.

The clever part is that he is indeed working under someone else, and he has no right to refute the decisions of the upper level, and can only do as he is told. The unwise part is that there is nothing new about this, and this kind of thing has been repeated countless times in history.

It is nothing more than division and disintegration, taking advantage of his possible unfairness and inability to balance, causing resentment in the hearts of his loyal followers, and thus reducing his influence among Chinese police officers.

The key to the selection of the chief inspector this time is that Lan Gang and Han Sen, who fought against him to the end, gained the greatest benefits. They did not die, did not go bankrupt and live on the streets, got rid of high salaries and high benefits to support the families of police officers, recovered part of the money they had invested before, and were promoted to chief inspectors. So what about those who followed him from the beginning?

They would not think that this was a means of division by the foreign devils. They would only pay attention to the fact that they did not get as much as they imagined. Unlike him who did not care, most people cared more about the official title.

Leaving him a candidate showed respect for him on the one hand, and stimulated his subordinates on the other hand. After all, he had so many supporters, and this candidate could only be the one with the greatest merit. But to put it bluntly, anyone who consciously followed him for a long time would feel that he had made great contributions, and it would be wrong to choose anyone.

So in this case, no one should be promoted, and let the people on the anti-Wang front be the chief inspector.

He was not afraid of this method, because the foreign devils overlooked one point, or perhaps one point that they did not care about, that his foundation was not the inspector, but nearly 10,000 ordinary police officers.

Perhaps the foreign devils took it for granted that now that he had unified all the inspectors and provided jobs to the families of all police officers, everyone was on the same level, and the situation was the same as before.

But the reality is not like this. Perhaps the new police officers who graduate from the police academy and take up their posts in the first year of junior high school can have high-paying and high-welfare jobs for their families. They don’t think there is anything wrong with it, and even think that it is right. Of course, fools who really think so will not get to a high position. But the original police officers didn’t think so. They knew very well how much help ‘Brother Yan’ had given them.

Maybe they couldn’t get promoted, maybe they were in a barren land without oil and water, but they didn’t have to be responsible for supporting their families. The money they earned was controlled by their own small families. Even if they worked in the worst places, their family life was beyond the reach of most other people. In addition to Wang Yan’s good reputation for many years of management and packaging, Wang Yan’s prestige in treating illnesses, borrowing money, and settling things is unmatched.

So, at least for this group of ordinary police officers now, ‘Brother Yan’ said whatever he said.

It was also the loyalty from this simple gratitude of many ordinary police officers that gave Wang Yan supreme power. Simply put, even though he has reached the highest position, he can still control ordinary front-line police officers, and he can override any detective.

Because of the composition of the population of Hong Kong Island, it is common for Chinese in the police force to form gangs and factions. Just like the original Lei Luo and Chen Tong, they were naturally close because they were from Chaozhou. Then there are people from Chaoshan and other places, and there will be factional disputes. In addition to the fights due to different benefits, the police force is also very chaotic, even though he is now the only Chinese police officer.

So the original fights don't care about the foreign devils adding fuel to the fire. He has only one way, whoever is not honest will be fired. There is no shortage of detectives, and there are a lot of police officers waiting to be promoted.

So this time it didn't affect him much, just fire a few who feel that they have made great contributions.

As for the fact that after this batch of police officers retire, he gradually loses the gratitude of the grassroots police officers, this will not happen because he is still there. People are not afraid of not having it, but afraid of losing it after having it. With the development of Longteng, he will continue to increase the benefits of additional Chinese police officers. Every time they enjoyed an item, they inevitably felt grateful for the care of ‘Brother Yan’, and felt that there were only a few fools who should have been like this...

William frowned and looked at Wang Yan: "Wang, are you really not going to consider it again?"

"What is there to hesitate about? Let Li Yiwen be the Chief Inspector of Kowloon!" Wang Yan smiled and shook his head: "Or, who do you want me to recommend?"

Sensing the impatience in his tone, William shrugged: "Okay, as you wish."

"That's it, I have something else to do, I'll leave first, sir." Wang Yan didn't stay, got up, straightened his clothes, and turned to leave.

William looked at the door of the office for a long time without saying a word, and he thought about Wang Yan's intention of doing this...

On February 15, 1958, the good day after the Lantern Festival, at the regular inspector meeting in the middle of the month, in front of 57 Chinese inspectors, William, director of the Criminal Investigation Department, announced a new appointment at the meeting, Wang Yan was appointed as the newly created Chief Chinese Inspector, and also announced the appointment of Lan Gang, Han Sen, and Li Yiwen as Chief Inspectors.

At this time, it was only three months before Wang Yan was promoted to the inspector of Tsim Sha Tsui, and many people were not prepared for it, including the chief inspectors of the three places. Because after William announced the appointment, he left the three of them alone...

Faced with a group of inspectors who wanted to know the inside story and had different thoughts, Wang Yan simply comforted them with a few words, then took a car to leave the regional police station and crossed the sea to the company's headquarters. Because all the industries have been incorporated, he has been very busy recently.

In the afternoon, Lan Gang, Han Sen, and Li Yiwen, who had lunch with William, ran to the Longteng headquarters in Central in a panic, because they felt that they would have a heart attack in the next moment, and they didn't want to die...
