Chapter 1: The story begins with the protagonist being arrested and taken to the Internal Investigat
Police Headquarters, November 1994.
"Police officer ID PI32685 Shen Shaofeng, I am Kwong Chi-lap from the Internal Investigations Bureau, and this is Senior Inspector Fong Kit-ha."
"We are now conducting a disciplinary hearing regarding yesterday's alleged attempt by your O-Division members to collectively pressure Commissioner of Police Hui Wai-hon."
"Please recount every detail of the day in question."
[Ding, detected...]
"Shut up, you son of a bitch!"
Shen Shaofeng mentally berated the system while simultaneously plotting how to deal with Kuang Zhili.
As a time traveler, he was well aware of the capabilities of the officer in front of him, Kwong Sir.
To deal with him, one must be impeccable in terms of police regulations and legal provisions.
"Kwong Sir, this story begins a week ago, when our Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) Team A, Group 1..."
……
One week ago, at the headquarters of Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB).
Acting Chief Superintendent Lee Man-bun returned to his office and saw his subordinate, Cheung-jai, kneeling on the ground admitting his mistake.
"Officer Lee, that bastard Cheung Jai, this is the fifth time this year he's taken the evidence flour out to gamble, and now the evidence is gone again!"
O-Team member He Guozheng reports to Li Wenbin.
Shen Shaofeng stood behind them, silently processing everything that was happening before him.
Just a few minutes ago, I was sitting in the back of a Bentley, looking forward to the screening of "Cold War 1994" at the Chinatown Cinema.
Then a large truck in the oncoming lane suddenly swerved, and I was brought here...
Fragments of memory flood in: He has a bachelor's degree, graduated from police academy, completed an internship under the supervision of the PTU, and is currently a probationary inspector in the 1st team of the O-Division.
The desktop computer shows the date as November 1994 and the location as the headquarters of Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB).
The superior in front of me, wearing the Chief Superintendent's warrant, is none other than Li Wenbin, who later became Deputy Commissioner of Police.
Li Wenbin lit a cigarette and pondered for a moment.
"You're all my brothers, Cheung-jai. I'll protect you one last time. Get that bag of flour back within two days."
Everyone agreed in unison, and Cheung-jai was deeply grateful, returning to his workstation to get back to work.
Shen Shaofeng thought to himself: No wonder this Inspector Li is so respected by frontline officers in the police force many years later.
But wouldn't handling the evidence this way give the Political Department and the Internal Investigation Section ammunition for their own purposes?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speak up: "Li Sir, I don't think this is appropriate."
Everyone turned to look at the new employee, who had been with the company for less than a month, and their expressions varied.
A senior female student named Yang Bier frowned at Shen Shaofeng: "Shaofeng, do you mean the leader shouldn't have protected Xiangzai?"
Shen Shaofeng shook his head: "Senior sister, that's not what I meant."
"According to police regulations, after seizing evidence, officers must hand it over to the on-duty property officer as soon as possible for safekeeping at the police station and fill out a property label record."
He looked at Li Wenbin: "Li Sir, I'm not against you protecting your brother, but doing it this way is against procedure."
"If the internal investigation department or the political department comes after us, it will be irrefutable evidence."
Shen Shaofeng turned to Xiangzai: "Brother Xiang, you need to write a report right now, admitting that you encountered an emergency while carrying out a surveillance mission and were forced to urgently dispose of evidence in order to cover your identity."
"According to police regulations, if frontline officers have a reasonable cause for the damage or loss of evidence during operations, they may submit a supplementary explanation after obtaining approval from their superiors."
He remained calm and composed, explaining in a gentle and detailed manner.
"Finally, I would like to ask you, Sir, in your capacity as the operations manager, to approve this report and sign it to confirm its authenticity."
"Brother Xiang, as a witness, I will accompany you to immediately complete the necessary procedures and register it in the system as an emergency response during an operation, rather than as a lost item."
After hearing Shen Shaofeng's reasonable and well-founded solution, everyone was stunned.
It's 1994 now. The police officers from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) have always handled similar situations roughly; they've never seen anything like this before.
Li Wenbin banged on the table: "Shaofeng, you mean...?"
"Yes, Li Sir, it's easier for the higher-ups to believe me if I, a newcomer, can corroborate this."
"Okay, we'll do it your way, Xiangzai. You should thank Shaofeng!"
Cheung-jai, Ho Kwok-ching, and Yeung Pik-yee said in unison, "Thank you, Siu-fung!"
"Roger that, Li Sir! No need to be so polite, we're all brothers in the same team."
Li Wenbin gave Shen Shaofeng a deep look, then suddenly smiled and said:
"Don't call me Li Sir, call me Boss."
[Ding! The host has successfully gained the acceptance of his colleagues, unlocking the achievement "Sharing weal and woe"]
[Reward: Proficiency in Police Cases - Expert Level]
[Police Star System activated. The host has successfully been promoted to Inspector and will be able to obtain "Physical Fitness Grade A"]
[More achievements and rewards await your exploration, Host!]
Shen Shaofeng originally just wanted to prevent his teammates from being targeted, and made a casual suggestion, but unexpectedly, it unlocked the system.
Since that's the case, in this life I can only go all the way down the path of being a policeman, which is completely opposite to my previous life.
In his previous life, as a seasoned Hong Kong film enthusiast, he had watched all the classic Hong Kong police and gangster films that were available on DVD in the United States.
If I remember correctly, in the Cold War series, Li Wenbin mentioned that he made a big mistake while working for the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) in 1994-95, and he was able to get away with it only by having his subordinates take the blame.
What exactly happened? Could it be related to my present life?
……
Half a day later, Shen Shaofeng and Xiangzai returned to the O-Division headquarters after successfully handling the aftermath of the evidence incident.
"You're back! Let's have a quick meeting!"
Li Wenbin took off his headphones, took out a cassette tape from his Walkman, and put it away.
"We received a tip that a demolition expert named Dongjizi will be delivering a AA+ grade flour package to Lao Wan's Fang Zhanqiang at 10 PM tonight."
"Abi, please introduce yourself to everyone."
Yang Bier nodded and pasted several documents onto the whiteboard.
"Old Man, the most powerful triad in Hong Kong right now, has a new leader named Mr. Yuen. The Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) doesn't have any detailed information about him yet."
"Fang Zhanqiang, nicknamed the Tiger of Kuiyong, is the number two figure in Laowan. Rumor has it that he intends to break away from Laowan and go it alone."
"Tung Kyu Boy, a small-time smuggler active in the New Territories and Kowloon. His goods are of high purity and his delivery is safe and fast. The CIB already has paparazzi watching him."
"According to intelligence, Fang Zhanqiang does not have a habit of consuming noodles, and it is currently unclear why he sought out Dongjizai for the goods..."
As Shen Shaofeng listened, he compared the conversation with his memories of his past life.
In this current timeline, a whole host of triad names and organizations familiar from my previous life, such as Sun Kee, Hung Hing, Tung Ying, Wo Luen Shing, United, Ni Family, etc., actually exist.
But this "Old Man" was something I had never heard of before, as it was currently the most powerful triad in Hong Kong.
For now, we can only follow the other guys, do more and say less, and slowly find out their intelligence.
After Yang Bier finished recounting the intelligence, Li Wenbin stood up and gave the order:
"Everyone, head to the armory to get your guns and bulletproof vests. Tonight, we'll follow Dong Jizi's lead and take down Fang Zhanqiang!"
"Yes, sir!"
……
10 PM, Kwai Chung, an old factory building.
Li Wenbin, along with Yang Bier, He Guozheng, Xiangzai, Shi Shu, and Shen Shaofeng, lay in ambush in the shadows of several large wooden crates.
About 100 meters ahead, the target, Dong Jizi, was handing a bag of white powder to Fang Zhanqiang's men.
"Brother Qiang, my goods are definitely genuine, you can check them."
At this moment, Shen Shaofeng was still pondering Fang Zhanqiang's purpose in looking for Dong Jizai.
He doesn't smoke it himself, so is it because after leaving Lao Wan he wants to run a business selling this kind of stuff and is getting supplies from Dong Ji Zai?
But that doesn't make sense. Tokyu is just a small demolition company. How could it be qualified to be a supplier?
Before he could think it over, Li Wenbin saw that Fang Zhanqiang had already taken the bag of flour and gave him a hand signal.
"Let's do it!"
