Chapter 416 Lin Guoxiong Wearing Glasses
Li Jian immediately stood at attention and saluted, saying, "Good Autumn, Inspector Lin!"
Lin Guoxiong patted Li Jian on the chest and said, "Good, not bad, still very energetic! Jian, have you ever considered coming to the East Kowloon Major Crimes Unit? I can put in a report to the higher-ups and have you transferred over."
"Don't worry, as long as you come, you'll definitely be promoted to Chief Inspector within two years."
Li Jian hesitated for a moment, "Inspector Lin, I would like to come, but I'm not familiar with this place, and I can't just leave Fei Sha and his gang behind."
Lin Guoxiong stroked his chin and pondered, "That's true. Never mind, let's not talk about this for now. Come to my office, I'll make you some hand-ground coffee."
The two were about to walk inside.
I ran into two policemen with their arms around each other.
One of them is an old acquaintance—Gao Jianxiang.
There was another man who looked like a weasel, more like a gangster than a policeman.
The two men were chatting and laughing, but as soon as they saw Lam Kwok-hung, they immediately stopped smiling, stood at attention, and saluted: "Lam sir!"
Lin Guoxiong nodded to them, then said to Li Jian, "Let me introduce you. These two are key members of our East Kowloon Major Crimes Unit. This is Inspector Gao Jianxiang, and this is Inspector Liu Hao."
Li Jian responded and greeted Gao Jianxiang and Lin Guoxiong: "Hello, I am Li Jian from the West Kowloon Serious Crimes Unit."
"Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you. We've heard so much about Inspector Li. Seeing you today, you are indeed a handsome and extraordinary young man."
Liu Hao reached out, grabbed Li Jian's hand, and shook it vigorously.
Li Jian humbly replied, "Not at all, it's just that my peers make me look good."
Lin Guoxiong invited Li Jian upstairs. Li Jian greeted the two men and then left.
Watching the two figures leave, Gao Jianxiang asked, "Who is this Li Jian?"
Liu Hao looked at him in surprise, as if he were an alien: "Jianxiang, no way, you don't even know him? He's the rising star of our police force! He's solved the Big Circle Boys case, the Central Jewelry Robbery case, the Rain Night Butcher Murder case, and even rescued three wealthy businessmen. His deeds could fill a day and a night."
I heard he used to be an undercover agent, and after he was promoted, his career skyrocketed—from a police sergeant to a senior inspector, a rank higher than both of us!
Gao Jianxiang was taken aback and said, "Damn, he's that good? I thought he was Lin Sir's son, since he looks younger than us."
"You're absolutely right about that!"
Liu Hao grabbed Gao Jianxiang by the neck and said, "Do you know where our Inspector Lin was before? He was in the West Kowloon Major Crimes Unit. He was promoted from superintendent because of his skillful command in handling these major cases."
Look, those two were whispering to each other just now, acting like brothers.
Gao Jianxiang asked, "Could it be Lin Sir's illegitimate child?"
Liu Hao laughed and said, "That's hard to say. Our Inspector Lin is quite the ladies' man and frequents brothels. Oh, I forgot to ask, are you very familiar with Inspector Chen Changmin of the Narcotics Division?"
Gao Jianxiang asked, "Who is Chen Changmin?"
Liu Hao clicked his tongue: "Oh, trying to act all high and mighty, huh? Captain Guo told me that people give you special treatment whenever your name is mentioned."
Gao Jianxiang was even more confused, scratching his head and saying, "Because of me?"
Liu Hao said, "Of course, he's a big shot in the anti-drug squad. He's the one who found someone to cover up our accounts."
Gao Jianxiang said, "Captain Guo, did you hear me wrong?"
Liu Hao pointed at Gao Jianxiang with a disbelieving look on his face: "Hey, we're all good brothers, don't lie to me, or I'll beat you up."
Gao Jianxiang pursed his lips.
Liu Hao said, "Please put in a good word for me. I'd also like to work in the anti-drug squad and have some peace and quiet."
Gao Jianxiang punched Liu Hao in the chest and said, "Are you very busy right now? Very busy?"
bah—
Just then, a fireball suddenly appeared outside.
Immediately following was a violent explosion.
Gao Jianxiang and Liu Hao immediately covered their heads and squatted down, thinking that terrorists had attacked the police station.
upstairs.
Lin Guoxiong is preparing coffee for Li Jian.
As the explosion occurred, Lin Guoxiong's hand trembled, and he spilled coffee all over his hand.
Li Jian immediately went to the window and looked down.
Lin Guoxiong, still shaken, asked, "What happened?"
Li Jian glanced at it and said, "It was a false alarm. The people down there went too far with their show and didn't control the quantity properly, which caused the explosion-proof box to explode."
Lin Guoxiong also walked to the window, looked at the panicked scene below, and cursed, "Damn it, they're just looking for trouble! I'm definitely going to complain to the Explosives Department later!"
Li Jian saw Zhang Zaishan spraying a fire extinguisher and said as he sprayed, "It's okay, it's okay, we're using explosion-proof glass."
Li Jian asked with a smile, "Isn't the Explosives Department under your jurisdiction?"
Lin Guoxiong said, "Don't even mention it. I'm new here too. The Chief Superintendent only put me in charge of criminal investigation and anti-gang operations. All the other departments have their own direct superiors."
"My official position has been promoted, but my power has diminished. It's not as good as being in the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit."
Li Jian took a sip of coffee and said, "You can't say that. There are gains and losses. Getting promoted is always a good thing. Besides, isn't the Major Crimes Unit all about criminal investigation? As long as we do a good job in criminal investigation, we can solve a couple more major cases and that's it."
Lin Guoxiong said, "Speaking of solving cases, my subordinate Chen Guozhong has recently encountered a tricky case. You two can discuss it sometime."
"Chen Guozhong? What's going on?"
Li Jian was not very familiar with the situation of the East Kowloon Serious Crimes Unit.
Lin Guoxiong said, "Chen Guozhong is an old man who is about to retire, but one of his underlings was killed by the underworld. Chen Guozhong went a bit too far. I told him several times, but he wouldn't listen."
Ugh, this is really giving me a headache.
Li Jian suddenly remembered someone: "Isn't there a guy named Ma Jun in your East Kowloon Major Crimes Unit? I heard he's really good at fighting."
Lin Guoxiong curled his lip and said, "Being able to fight? What good is being able to fight! Being a cop isn't just about being able to fight, the most important thing is to have brains. If a cop doesn't use his brain, he'll be a lowly cop for life."
"I do wish I had more capable and quick-witted younger brothers like you, Ah Jian."
Li Jian laughed and said, "It's all thanks to your guidance, Inspector Lin!"
Lin Guoxiong got up and refilled his coffee: "Hey, this is a private space now, don't call me 'Lin sir,' call me 'godfather'!"
"Godfather!"
Li Jian shouted without any pressure.
Lin Guoxiong chuckled and said, "That's more like it. By the way, how's your godmother doing lately? Has she, cough cough, softened up a bit?"
Li Jian shrugged and said, "The bureau has been quite busy lately, and I haven't had a chance to visit my godmother yet. I'll go see her later."
Lin Guoxiong rubbed his hands together and said, "You kid, don't forget to put in a good word for me with your godmother. This can't go on like this. You talk to your godmother."
I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance. I promise I'll never do anything stupid again.
