Reborn in Hong Kong, my cousin is Crippled Ho

Chapter 28: Falsifying Military Intelligence, Finding Spyware

"This is your name. Come on, practice until 10 o'clock, and then go to sleep."

"Your brother Tie Tou and I are going out for a bit. Remember, don't open the door for anyone except us."

Handing the pencil to the little rabbit, Lin Yuanshan beckoned Tie Tou to come out of the house: "Don't be nervous, let's talk as we walk."

Strangely enough, whenever Lin Yuanshan was present, Tie Tou seemed to have a pillar of support.

He was initially very panicked, but instantly calmed down.

Following behind Lin Yuanshan, Tie Tou went down the stairs, and the two found a secluded alley nearby, waiting until no one was around.

Tie Tou lowered his voice and told Lin Yuanshan the information he had gathered.

"That's it?" Lin Yuanshan looked at Tie Tou helplessly after hearing this: "Brother Hao is a gangster. Isn't it normal for someone to try to harm him?"

Moreover, he managed to make a name for himself in Shek Kip Mei despite being a 49-year-old.

The number of people in the underworld who dislike him and want him dead could stretch from Hui Kee to Hung Kee.

This kind of news is worthless!

Don't be fooled by Lao Liu's mysterious tone; he's just trying to curry favor with you so you'll patronize his business next time.

Believe it or not, if someone else went to buy cigarettes, he would immediately change his story to a name related to the other party, and then he could sell that information again.

Tie Tou stared wide-eyed. Old Liu had thinning hair, wore reading glasses, and was waving a fly swatter. It was certain that he was sleazy, but could such an old man be so cunning?

Lin Yuanshan took two puffs of his cigarette to clear the murky air in the alley: "We don't need to worry about Brother Hao's affairs."

The situation was rather unusual last time at Hung Kee.

He was ambushed at the time, and I wanted to see if you could help, so I encouraged you to step in and help.

Any other news?

If not, go back to sleep.

Damn, I've been busy all day, and now I'm so sleepy and tired.

Tie Tou finally realized that his concern had clouded his judgment, leading him to give false intelligence and create a blunder. He chuckled sheepishly and said, "There's one more thing, but it has nothing to do with us. Someone saw that Smiling Tiger and Officer Tong came to the walled city tonight to discuss matters with the elders, and they've been talking about it for so long without reaching a conclusion."

"Huh! This news actually has some value." Lin Yuanshan's eyes lit up, and the drowsiness in his eyes vanished instantly. "Go find that Old Liu, give him a dollar, and ask him if he knows anything else about this."

"Okay, I'll go right now." Seeing that Lin Yuanshan was interested, Tie Tou didn't dare to waste any more words and ran towards the alley entrance.

Lin Yuanshan walked quickly behind and saw that a few dozen meters away, Tie Tou had already started talking to the owner of the grocery store at the corner.

"Lei Luo and Yan Tong, these two are already detectives, why are they still personally going into the city walled city?"

Given Yan Tong's affiliation with the Chaozhou gang, it's understandable that he came in personally.

Lei Luo has no gang background. Isn't he afraid of getting into trouble? Lin Yuanshan muttered to himself, his brows furrowed. The relationship between the four real-life detectives was completely different from what was portrayed in movies and TV shows.

At the very least, Yan Tong and Lei Luo didn't actually have any major conflicts.

Yan Tong's rise to prominence in the police force was rather convoluted; he was a protégé of former Chief Detective Inspector Yao Mu.

But before Yao Mu could promote him, Yao Mu resigned due to illness.

Liu Fu, who succeeded Yao Mu at the time, was from Dongguan. After that, the influence of Dongguan police officers in the Hong Kong police force increased significantly.

Yan Tong, a plainclothes officer from Chaozhou who was left behind by the previous administration and whose position had not yet been filled, is in a very awkward situation.

Fortunately, he was good at flattery and seizing opportunities, eventually winning the favor of the president of the Chao Fung Chamber of Commerce, receiving financial support from the big water piper, and the cooperation of Fuk Yee Hing in the underworld, which led him to become the Chinese detective chief of the Yau Ma Tei Police Station.

Compared to Yan Tong, who spent so many years in the police force before finally getting ahead, Lei Luo's path to becoming a police officer was much smoother.

Also of Chaozhou origin, Lei Luo was noticed by Chen Li, a senior detective in Sham Shui Po, when he was a uniformed policeman. Not long after, with Chen Li's help, he was transferred to plainclothes.

Later, relying on her good looks and righteousness, she hooked up with Cai Zhen, the only daughter of Cai Chuhai, a big shot in the Chaozhou gang, nicknamed Partridge Vegetable.

With the financial support of Partridge, a big shot in the business world, Lei Luo made many friends in both the legitimate and underworld circles, especially in the underworld.

Along with the Twelve Beauties of Mong Kok, the Kowloon Eighteen Tigers were known as the Kowloon Eighteen. Many of them became sworn brothers with Lui Lok, including Lui Lok's most crucial assistant, Piggy!

When Chen Li retired, Partridge Vegetable paid for his son-in-law to take over.

In addition, Lui Lok himself was well-connected and had a group of underworld friends who helped him build his business and meet his crime-solving targets. In just two years, he was promoted from senior detective to detective superintendent of Sham Shui Po.

With these two detectives, who have left a deep mark on history and have even been portrayed as adversaries in numerous films and television series, suddenly appearing in the Walled City, Lin Yuanshan would definitely have to think twice.

Tie Tou returned quickly. Lin Yuanshan had instructed him to spend one yuan, which was quite valuable.

Old Liu finally revealed the truth: these past few days have been the time when police stations in various districts have been buying heads from the Walled City. The fact that these two Chinese detectives appeared at the same time was probably also because they were there to buy heads.

Because if they need the walled city's help with other matters, it would be more appropriate for them to send in a trusted confidant.

The only thing that involves buying extra people at the last minute is that it not only involves the amount of money, but also what price range of scapegoats are needed to cover what kind of cases.

These details need to be discussed with the detective.

"Let's go! Go back to sleep." Lin Yuanshan stubbed out his cigarette and led the way up the stairs.

Tie Tou quickly followed, and after lying down, he heard Lin Yuanshan instruct: "Keep an eye on this matter tomorrow. If there are any new developments, remember to tell me."

"Understood, Young Master Yuan." Tie Tou nodded quickly.

Nothing more was said that night, except that the stronghold was missing nearly a hundred poor people.

Among these people were pitiful souls who had to sell themselves cheaply to support their families, and unlucky individuals who had committed crimes and entered the walled city to hide, only to have their secrets exposed due to carelessness in their daily lives, leading to their arrest and being sold for money. More often, there were those who had repeatedly sold themselves cheaply for a few puffs of opium or heroin, resulting in a criminal record that was more than a foot thick in the police station.

Some are sad, some are happy.

The elders of the walled city committee, however, were happily counting their banknotes.

However, none of this matters to Lin Yuanshan for the time being.

Upon waking up in the early morning, he first washed up, then ate the white porridge that Xiao Tu had cooked with Tie Tou. He then hurriedly left the town, flagged down a tricycle, and rushed to the Shixiawei branch factory.

The rickshaw, Tie Tou has been returned to Biandanwei, and now there are few private cars available for the time being.

Fortunately, Lin Yuanshan is a person who always has a sense of time, and he was never late for work the next day.

Yesterday, the four warehouse workers, realizing the situation was critical, all ran away without any sense of loyalty.

Today at work, I heard that Lin Yuanshan was not only fine, but Lao Yu was arrested after the factory reported him to the police. All four of them regretted it so much that they slapped their thighs – it's over, they chose the right side, but they gave up on it.

As soon as they saw Lin Yuanshan walking over from the factory gate, the four of them rushed up and surrounded him, asking him how he was doing.

Lin Yuanshan didn't blame them. He chuckled and took out cigarettes, handing them out to everyone: "You can't smoke in the warehouse. Come on, everyone, have one first."

"By the way, I'd like to ask, which recycling plant used to send our factory's waste to for processing, by Lao Yu and other outsiders?"
