Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1243 Surrounding the Police Station Building

This is clearly someone's doing something sabotage, deliberately making the police team busy and unable to concentrate on the case, thus hindering the police force.

The assistant director stood to the side with his head down, not daring to breathe.

Huang Bingyao took a few deep breaths, thought for a moment, and then said, "Have Zeng Xiangrong, the deputy director of the management department, take some people down to comfort those family members and the public."

Watson suddenly said, "Chief, let me do it!"

Looking into Hua Sheng's eyes, Huang Bingyao clearly understood his meaning. He was worried that Zeng Xiangrong might speak recklessly or make unfounded promises, putting unnecessary pressure on the police force.

“Those family members and members of the public aren’t so easy to talk to; it will take a lot of effort and energy, and you also have to solve the case…”

Watson smiled faintly: "It's alright, trust me. If they want to play, then we'll play along and see who comes out on top in the end!"

Having influence over both the legitimate and criminal worlds, he has the confidence to say such things, and even if the situation eventually spirals out of control, he has the ability to simply overturn the table.

You don't want to have fun, huh? Then nobody should play.

Because he had ample confidence, Watson was fearless.

Looking at Watson's calm and confident expression, Huang Bingyao chose to believe him: "Alright, then this matter, including this case, is entirely in your hands. You don't need to worry about the pressure from the governor or other parties. As long as I am in this position, you will not be affected in any way."

Watson stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, Sir!"

Standing on the side of the lobby at the foot of the police station building, Zeng Xiangrong looked at the family members of the deceased and the crowd outside the door who were holding banners and plaques, demanding an explanation from the police. A slight smile appeared on his lips.

However, this smile was fleeting. At this moment, it was best not to gloat, lest someone see it.

Liu Jiehui frowned: "Inspector Zeng, aren't we going out to calm the crowd down?"

Although police officers have stopped those people, if the situation is not handled properly and a conflict breaks out, it could easily lead to a serious accident.

Zeng Xiangrong coughed and said, "Of course we have to go, but although we have a responsibility to appease them, we don't know any relevant information about the case, so we need to wait for the action department."

After saying that, he glanced at his watch and said, "Alright, let's go first. Everyone, remember to keep the crowd and their families calm and don't let any conflicts happen."

He then walked towards the door first. Just as he straightened his tie and was about to appear as the deputy commissioner of police, he heard a voice behind him.

"Sir Zeng, please wait a moment."

Zeng Xiangrong paused, then turned around in surprise and said, "Wah Sir, you actually came to handle such a small matter yourself. I thought you were busy solving the case, so you brought people here to appease the crowd outside."

Watson watched the other party's performance quietly and said calmly, "No need, Inspector Zeng, you are not familiar with the relevant information of the case. Let us handle this matter. Of course, you can also assist us. I thank you all for your help."

Zeng Xiangrong didn't mind and said with a smile, "Okay, then we'll help Hua Sir calm down the crowd outside."

Watson, dressed in uniform and wearing a police hat, walked solemnly out the door, immediately hearing countless shouts coming from outside.

There were all sorts of opinions: some demanded that the police severely punish the murderer, some demanded that the murderer pay compensation, and some questioned the police, etc.

Liang Ziwei, who was standing next to him, very sensibly handed over the megaphone. After Hua Sheng turned it on, he said, "Everyone, please don't make a fuss. Listen to me first. I am Hua Sheng, the Deputy Commissioner of Police Operations. I am very clear about the serious harm caused to everyone by the two public safety incidents in Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok."

"Our police force is currently investigating these two cases. Please give us some time. Our Hong Kong Island Police Force will definitely give you an explanation."

A reporter squeezed to the front and asked, "Wah Sir, these two cases are so close together and so similar, is it possible that they are organized crimes?"

Hua Sheng glanced at the other person and replied, "Whether these two cases were organized or premeditated requires further investigation. We cannot give you an accurate answer at this time."

One of the seriously injured family members shouted, "My wife is in very serious condition and has been admitted to the ICU. We need a lot of money every day. The person who hit her with the car is dead, so who will take responsibility?"

Watson frowned. This was indeed a difficult problem. The perpetrator had committed suicide, so making compensation would not be easy. Even if the perpetrator's property were auctioned off for compensation, it would not be something that could be done in a short time.

Another woman with red eyes shouted, "My husband was hit and killed. He was the head of the family. With him gone, our family is finished. How are my daughter and I supposed to live?"

"Yes, yes, and my husband too. He was seriously injured in the accident. What are we going to do?"

Watson was at his wits' end; the money was indeed a problem. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Everyone, don't worry. Our police force will work with the government, hospitals, banks, and others to come up with a solution. Please trust us; we will definitely provide you with a solution today."

He thought about it carefully and realized that the police couldn't be the ones to handle this. They were only responsible for solving cases. This kind of thing had to be dealt with by the Financial Secretary, the "God of Wealth," so that they could take the lead in resolving it.

After Watson spoke, the others also tried to appease these people.

After calming down the crowd and their families, Hua Sheng immediately went to Liang Ziwei's side and said, "Liang Sir, could you please arrange for someone to buy some water and bread to provide for those people outside? Our colleagues also need to be taken care of; everyone is having a hard time."

"Okay, Mr. Wah." Liang Ziwei was somewhat afraid to meet Mr. Wah's gaze. Ever since the last incident, she had been hesitant to face him.

Watson noticed this as well, and grinned: "Alright, then I'll leave this to you for now. I'll contact the finance department and the hospital to come up with a solution."

An hour later, Hua Sheng arrived at the Finance Department's conference room, where Director Fan Weili and some other leaders from the Finance Department were already seated.

In addition, there were several doctors in white coats, who were relevant leaders of the hospital. People from banks and insurance companies also arrived.

Furthermore, Fan Weili contacted the heads of several charitable foundations in order to completely resolve the compensation, treatment, and other related expenses for those who died or were injured.

On the way, Hua Sheng called Fan Weili to discuss the relevant matters, and it was under Fan Weili's leadership that so many people were gathered.
