Chapter 53: Confession and Acceptance of Punishment, Press Conference
O-Division, interrogation room.
Ni Yongxiao has regained his composure.
At this moment, he stared silently at Shen Shaofeng across the interrogation table.
As the current head of the Ni family, he believed he had a clearer understanding of the situation than other triad leaders—before 97, he had to completely get rid of the flour business in order to safely launder his money and go ashore.
Everything was developing in a positive direction until January 1st of this year, when Shen Shaofeng officially took office as the commander of the O-Division B1-2.
More than a week ago, Ni Yongxiao had carefully reviewed all of this person's actions since taking office.
First, they used some means to provoke Gandhi and Guohua into a fight, and then forced them to denounce each other, thus taking down the two men.
If I hadn't acted quickly that night and disposed of the key evidence, Blackie and his gang would probably have met the same fate.
Then, taking advantage of Huang Zhicheng's death, they took down Han Chen and his wife.
The reason why Uncle San got into trouble and was arrested is probably because Han Chen leaked information to the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau.
Then they forced Han Chen to step forward and let his brainless underlings wreak havoc on the entire Tsim Sha Tsui.
At this point, the media rushed to report on it, the public was in an uproar, the police entered the scene, and it was only natural that his hard-earned reputation and connections in the legitimate world would be severely damaged.
This person is young, but he is more experienced and resourceful than any previous O-Division inspector. He is remarkable.
When Ni Yongxiao was driven to the brink, he did consider solving the problem at its source.
But Shen Shaofeng had become like a tortoise for a while, either hiding in headquarters or having someone secretly protecting him whenever he went out, making it impossible for the few Vietnamese guys he had spent a lot of money to do anything.
Incidentally, the Vietnamese guy originally wanted to hire them to kill Han Chen and his wife to avenge his father, but they had been detained by the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB)...
In the end, Ni Yongxiao tried to resort to his old tricks, kidnapping Shen Shaofeng's relatives to threaten him.
Then they discovered that that damn bastard had absolutely no family!
Even more unexpectedly, it turned out that his younger brother, Chen Yongren, was actually an undercover police officer. This defeat was well-deserved...
"Ahem, Mr. Ni, I've finished reading it, and I have some legal advice I'd like to offer you."
At this moment, Attorney Li, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke up, interrupting Ni Yongxiao's recollection.
Ni Yongxiao looked at Shen Shaofeng: "Sir Shen, is this convenient?"
After Shen Shaofeng and the Madam surnamed Wan left, Ni Yongxiao frowned and asked, "Attorney Li, how did it go?"
Li Shihong organized his thoughts: "Mr. Ni, I don't understand why the other party showed me these copies of evidence before the Department of Justice formally filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court."
"Logically, this is disadvantageous to the police, because as your defense lawyer, I have a lot more time to come up with countermeasures and make preparations... However, from another perspective, the other side may be very confident and want you to plead guilty in advance."
Ni Yongxiao raised his handcuffed hands, adjusted his glasses, and said calmly, "So, what's your opinion?"
Li Shih-hung pointed to a document and explained it point by point: "As the head of a triad, he was involved in drug trafficking, attempted murder, murder, money laundering, obstruction of justice, and violated the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance..."
"The prosecution's evidence is too strong, and according to what you said, if your brother really is an undercover police officer, it will be very difficult for him to be acquitted on all these charges."
He straightened his expression: "Although I really want to earn the lawyer's fees and court fees, I still want to advise Mr. Ni to talk to the police about pleading guilty and confessing to other crimes..."
……
"Sir Shen, I want you to promise me that if possible, you won't make things too difficult for my family."
Ni Yongxiao's voice was slightly pleading.
Now, only Ni Yongxiao and Shen Shaofeng were left alone in the interrogation room.
Wan Xihua, as the direct supervisor of the Ni family case, was secretly pleased as she led Li Shihong to complete the procedures related to pleading guilty.
Shen Shaofeng crossed his legs, glanced disdainfully at Ni Yongxiao, and said, "I'm a policeman, I won't deliberately make things difficult for your family."
"But starting with Ni Kun, your Ni family has offended quite a few people over the decades, hasn't it? It's hard to say about them."
Give me a reason to step in and protect your family.
Seeing that Ni Yongxiao was about to speak, Shen Shaofeng waved his hand to stop him: "Don't give me that nonsense about not bringing misfortune upon family members. The premise of that statement is that the benefits do not extend to family members."
"Your Ni family's drug trafficking has ruined countless families, yet you all live in mansions, drive luxury cars, attend prestigious schools, and cruise on yachts. What gives you the right?"
"So, give me something tangible in exchange, Mr. Ni."
Shen Shaofeng lit a cigarette and silently watched Ni Yongxiao.
Knowing that appealing to emotions wouldn't work, Ni Yongxiao took a deep breath and said, "Besides the evidence against Blackie and Wen Zheng, I can provide some other information."
"Very discreet intelligence that will be useful for your future career in the police force and even politics, Inspector Shen, as well as some anonymous Swiss bank accounts that can be withdrawn at any time..."

[Reward: Proficiency in Police Command]
……
The following afternoon, at the police headquarters, in the auditorium.
At the long table, Superintendent Leung Chi-kin of the Public Relations Branch sat in the center as the spokesperson.
On the left are Chief Superintendent Lee Man-bun and Chief Inspector Man Hei-wah of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), while on the right is the most eye-catching young Inspector Shen Shaofeng.
The audience was packed, with cameras and microphones pointed at the podium, and the sound of shutters clicking incessantly.
Major media outlets from Hong Kong Island, and even several foreign media reporters, were present, making it an unprecedented event.
The downfall of the Ni family and the arrest of Thai drug kingpin Khun Chai were major news events that shocked the entire Southeast Asia.
Superintendent Leung began by saying, "Good afternoon, friends from the media. On behalf of the police, I would like to announce details of the cracking of a major case. After a joint investigation lasting several months by multiple departments, including the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit, the Anti-Triad Unit, and the Commercial Crime Bureau, we have successfully dismantled a major organized drug trafficking and money laundering syndicate headed by Mr. Ni..."
"During the operation, we arrested 49 suspects, including the group's leader Ni, group head Li, and Wen, and seized 136 kilograms of high-purity flour raw materials, with a market value exceeding HK$80 million. We also froze and seized bank accounts, properties, and other company assets related to the group. The preliminary estimate of the amount involved exceeds HK$300 million. In addition, we sealed off 48 entertainment venues in Tsim Sha Tsui involved in the case on the spot…"
"This is another major victory for the police in recent years in combating drug crimes and dismantling organized crime groups..."
The audience erupted in uproar as reporters frantically recorded all the data with cameras, video cameras, and pens and paper.
Superintendent Leung then introduced the main investigators present, with particular emphasis on the leading role played by the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) in this operation.
He then handed the microphone to Lee Man-bin, the supervisor of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB).
Li Wenbin first affirmed that the success of the operation was inseparable from the excellent cooperation among various departments of the police force, and then emphasized:
"The success of this operation is inseparable from the bravery and meticulous investigation of our frontline colleagues, and it also demonstrates the police's firm determination to combat crime and uphold the law."
"Especially one of my young officers, Inspector Shen Shaofeng..."
