Hong Kong variety show, I am a charming cop.

Chapter 83 Ka-Kui Returns

Upon hearing this, Lin Guoxiong remained silent for a long time.

He pointed at Li Jian, sighed, and said, "I can't argue with you, but you better keep a low profile these next few days and don't try to stand out."

Some tabloid reporters have already taken notice of you and even given you a nickname.

"What nickname?"

"The Ruthless Detective!"

Lin Guoxiong couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's spicy, but I'm not so sure about being a detective. I think it's more like a murder detective."

Li Jian said, "If you want it, I'll give it to you. I'm a person who doesn't care about fame or fortune."

"Is there anything else? If not, I'm leaving!"

"Don't leave yet. Madam from the Complaints and Investigations Department just called and said that Lin Guoyu's family has filed a complaint against you for abusing your power. They want you to come in for questioning," Lin Guoxiong said calmly.

Li Jian was stunned for a moment, "What investigation department?"

Li Jian, who has watched many Hong Kong films, had never heard of this department before.

The police officers in those Hong Kong movies are all incredibly brave, and I've never seen any of them get investigated for their work.

Why doesn't it work when it's my turn?

Lin Guoxiong said, "It's the Complaints and Investigations Department, which is responsible for complaints against police officers. But don't worry, I've already made arrangements. It's just a formality and won't have a big impact."

Li Jian got up and left.

Lin Guoxiong got impatient: "I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Li Jian yawned and said, "I spent the whole night with your goddaughter last night, and my back is killing me. I need to go back and catch up on some sleep."

I saw Li Jian close the door.

Lin Guoxiong was so angry his head was practically steaming: "That bastard, sleep, sleep, sleep until you die!"

Li Jian was completely uninterested in the investigation department that Lin Guoxiong mentioned.

Many people within the system hear about this.

Often, their legs would go weak.

Just like the section chief played by Hou Yong.

Actually, Teacher Hou is already very strong, able to hold on for so long.

Many high-ranking and powerful people collapse the moment they are approached; there are countless examples of people who break down completely.

Li Jian has his own confidence.

Li Jian returned to his workstation.

The office was deserted, with only Chen Jiaju present.

"What about the rest?"

Chen Jiaju, with his arms in slings, saw Li Jian and immediately asked.

Li Jian casually replied, "I went to investigate Lin Guoyu's case. By the way, your arm isn't fully healed yet, why are you back already?"

Chen Jiaju waved his other hand and said, "It doesn't matter, I can still work with one hand."

Li Jian sighed.

Chen Jiaju is indeed a workaholic.

Taking sick leave is an opportunity that many police officers dream of, but this kid doesn't know how to cherish it.

"Brother Jian, while I was away, did the team solve a few more major cases?"

Li Jian nodded and said, "You're quite well-informed. What, you want to come back?"

Chen Jiaju said with a worried look, "I'm going crazy. You don't know, the hospital smells of disinfectant everywhere. I'm allergic to that stuff. Staying at home is so boring that I'm getting hemorrhoids."

"Brother Jian, can you give me some work? I'm so bored I could die."

Fearing that Li Jian wouldn't believe him, Chen Jiaju actually let out a fart.

The space was immediately filled with the smell of expired formaldehyde.

"..."

Li Jian stroked his chin and thought for a long time: "Last time we caught an arms dealer, called something like Brother Tan, who is now locked up in Stanley Prison. This guy is very stubborn and refuses to confess anything."

Go and interrogate him; see if you can find out who his supplier is.

Chan Ka-kui saluted with his only remaining hand: "Yes, sir!"

"Ring ring—ring ring—ring ring—"

The phone on the table suddenly rang.

Li Jian, who was resting, opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar number.

Hung up!

"Ring ring—ring ring—ring ring—"

The phone rang again, persistent as ever.

Li Jian ignored it and let it howl on its own.

But the person on the other end of the phone seemed very patient; the ringing showed no sign of stopping.

Li Jian grabbed the microphone.

"Hey, Bing?"

"Excuse me, is this Li Jian, Officer Li? I'm Xu Qing from the Complaints and Investigations Department. Could you please come to headquarters? We have a few questions for you." The woman on the other end of the line had a husky voice, like a sweet, juicy watermelon.

Li Jian propped his feet up on the desk and rested his head on his arms, saying, "Um, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't make it."

Xu Qing asked, "Why? Is Inspector Li busy? It's alright, I can wait for you."

Seeing that the other party was so nice, Li Jian said helplessly, "I caught a thief last night and got caught in the rain, so I'm not feeling well."

Xu Qing said, "Thank you for your hard work, Li Sir, but I hope you can overcome the difficulties. It won't take up too much of your time."

Li Jian glanced at his watch and said, "Just ask me any questions over the phone. I'm in a hurry to get to the hospital for my injection."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "I'm afraid that won't work, because we need to create written records for our records. And as a police officer, you should understand that police officers don't handle cases just by phone."

We hope you can come over at least once; it'll only take a few minutes.

The other party has already gone this far.

If Li Jian refuses again, then he really won't give him any face.

"Okay, see you in half an hour."

Li Jian hung up the phone, grabbed his coat, and went outside.

New Year's Day has passed, and the weather on Hong Kong Island is a bit cold.

This was also Li Jian's first time visiting the Hong Kong Police Headquarters.

As the highest-ranking department of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, the Hong Kong Island Police Headquarters is quite impressive.

Located at 1 Arsenal Street, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island.

There are three buildings in total.

The main building has 42 floors with a 4-story basement. The east wing has a floor height of 14 meters, and the west wing has a floor height of 33 meters.

Li Jian's AE86 drove into the underground parking lot, where there were many luxury cars.

Li Jian couldn't help but sigh – the brothers below were fighting to the death, while the bosses at headquarters were living the high life.

Just like Chan Ka-kui said in Police Story: "When we're fighting with someone, he's in his office thinking about who he'll have dinner with; when we're desperately trying to bring someone back, he's only thinking about whether the procedures are right; he only has to talk, and we have to risk our lives."

Li Jian originally planned to take the express elevator, but unfortunately he didn't have an elevator card.

You can only get to the ground on foot.

Inside the guard post at the headquarters entrance.

A police sergeant with three stripes on his shoulder stopped him: "Excuse me, do you have an appointment?"

Li Jian immediately flashed his police ID: "We're one of our own."

The sheriff looked at Li Jian's rank with a hint of disdain. "Go up, but don't wander around."

"What a snobbish look-down!"

Li Jian entered the police headquarters, his mind filled with complaints: "The police chief can only guard the gate? These officials are really powerful."

Li Jian couldn't help but recall how he had returned from his undercover mission and was smug about being promoted to police sergeant.

I never imagined I'd be nothing at headquarters.

"It seems that it's the same in every industry: the lower class has no human rights, and if you want to live well, you have to climb up!"

Li Jian couldn't help but think of that fable.

A monkey climbed a tree and looked down; all it saw were smiling faces.

Looking up, all I see are buttocks.

If you want to see more smiling faces and fewer butts, you have to keep climbing and climb to the top!
