Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 796 Fan Weili is willing to help

After hearing what Watson said, Fan Weili's face looked very ugly. He really didn't expect that the son of the Chief Secretary for Administration would actually engage in drug trafficking.

Before this, he actually admired Philip very much. Although Philip did not have much ability, the word "stable" was enough to describe his entire ruling career.

In a few years, we will be returning. At this time, we don’t need a leader of development, but a leader of preservation.

So Fan Weili actually didn't care about Philip being the governor before. He also knew his character flaws and that he had offended many people. It would be unlikely for him to compete with him.

But in this situation, he suddenly heard that Philip's son was trafficking drugs. Most importantly, Philip was going to do his best to help his son get rid of the crime, even bribing the judges, jurors, etc.

Watson looked at Fan Weili's expression, as if he had guessed his doubts, and continued slowly: "The reason why Philip did this was to be able to successfully become the governor. After all, if his son's eight-year drug trafficking was exposed, then he, as a father, would also be implicated."

"No matter who the Hong Kong people are, they will not allow the father of a drug dealer to serve as governor."

"Under such circumstances, Philip could only fight to the death and use every possible means to help William escape the crime, which was equivalent to helping himself, so that he could serve as the governor safely and smoothly."

Hearing this, Fan Weili suddenly looked up at Watson and stared at him.

Watson smiled slightly and said word by word: "Director Fan, I'm sure you don't want to see such a person become the Governor of Hong Kong Island!"

"If such a person takes the position of governor, I dare not imagine what will happen in Hong Kong Island in the next few years. Now he can tolerate his son's drug trafficking, so his son's murder and arson will be a small matter in the future."

"It would be fine if it was just his son, but as far as I know, although the Thomson family doesn't have many direct descendants, there are quite a few collateral members. If they did the same thing as William, would Philip help them?"

"If he helps, then the people of Hong Kong will be persecuted. If he doesn't help, then the fact that he helped William get away with the crime will be brought up by his family members. Director Fan, if you were Philip, would you help, haha!"

The last laugh was full of sarcasm.

Fan Weili said with a sullen face: "Hong Kong Island is a free and democratic city, but it is definitely not a paradise for criminals!"

At this point, he stared at Watson and said solemnly: "I can help you, but this is not to help you, but to help Hong Kong Island. The position of Governor cannot be taken by someone who can tolerate his son's drug trafficking."

"Tell me what you think and what you plan to do next!"

Watson's eyes lit up. With Fan Weili's help, the next step would be much easier.

"Director Fan, my idea is very simple. I already have evidence that William is involved in drug trafficking. If Philip wants to turn the tables, he can only bribe the judge, jurors, etc. in the court."

"I want Director Fan to bring as many officials from the Ministry of Finance as possible to watch the trial. With your presence, I'm sure the judge and others will not dare to over-praise William even if they are bribed."

Fan Weili hesitated for a moment and said, "What you said is indeed correct, but it is still a bit simple. I have a better way."

Watson looked at Fan Weili in surprise, and heard him slowly say, "I know Lu Zhilian, the chief investigator of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. He is the best at dealing with this kind of corruption."

"Lu Zhilian!" Watson couldn't help but look at Fan Weili in surprise. The place where corruption is most likely to occur should be the Financial Secretary. After all, with money in hand, corruption will occur if one can't help but be greedy.

But this Financial Secretary actually knows Luk Chi-lam of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which is like the Rat King knowing a master mouse catcher.

Fan Weili nodded and said, "Well, Director Lu is a master in the Independent Commission Against Corruption. There is no corruption case that he cannot solve. His ability is outstanding. How come, Sir Hua, do you know him?"

Watson paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I've met him once or twice before, but we're not that familiar with him!"

Fan Weili didn't care and said immediately: "I think we should go to the Independent Commission Against Corruption. With their help, it will not be so easy for Philip to bribe and buy off the judges and jurors openly."

"The ICAC is the last knife of our Hong Kong Island, which is used to supervise our own people. They are also the last checkpoint."

Hearing this, Watson nodded and said, "I have no objection. Let's go now, Mr. Huo, would you like to join us?"

Mr. Huo smiled and shook his head and said, "I won't go. I have succeeded in matchmaking now. It is enough for you two to be able to unite. I will go to the trial when the time comes. Don't worry."

"Okay, Mr. Huo, we'll go first!" Watson greeted Mr. Huo. If it weren't for him today, he wouldn't have been able to meet Fan Weili so easily, and the other party wouldn't have believed him so easily.

So even though Mr. Huo didn't do anything, he actually played a very important role in it.

Fan Weili also smiled and said, "Old Huo, let's go first. We'll get together again after we're done."

Mr. Huo waved his hand, watched the two people leave, then sat on the chair. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time, his hands unconsciously playing with the cup, no one knew what he was thinking.

"Maybe, I should make a bet. Fan Weili had no chance before, but now, if Philip falls, he still has a great chance of becoming the next governor."

"Ordinary businessmen only invest to make money, but top businessmen are all investors!"

Thinking of this, Mr. Huo smiled slightly, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, slowly stood up and left.

At the same time, Watson and Fan Weili went directly to the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

"Director Fan, they should have finished get off work by now, right? Should we go to his house, or somewhere else?"

Fan Weili smiled and shook his head and said, "No need. Lu Zhilian is a workaholic. He is definitely still working overtime at the ICAC. Believe it or not, how about we make a bet. Whoever loses will pay for dinner later!"

Watson was amused and said directly: "Okay, let's bet. I bet that he didn't work overtime at the ICAC today."

In fact, winning or losing doesn’t matter to him. He just sees Fan Weili asking for it, so he just plays with him.
