Chapter 833: Fellow Disciples Quarrel, Sir Liu Sits High on the Diaoyutai
The head of Lianji L Group acted quickly. In less than fifteen minutes, he showed up in the police building with his men.
The police officer at the reception desk downstairs immediately reported the news to the higher levels, and finally it reached the office area of the Political Investigation Department.
According to normal procedures, investigators of the ICAC have the qualifications and power to enter and exit most areas in Hong Kong Island.
But the National Security Department of the Police Force is obviously not within this normal scope.
Not to mention that the current investigation mission of the ICAC is not aimed at the National Security Department of the Police Force.
Even if the members of this department really have problems, and the ICAC has clues.
But the final investigation procedure is not just as easy as issuing an investigation order by the ICAC and then being able to carry it out.
It is necessary to obtain the official permission document of the Hong Kong Government's National Security Committee, and various confidentiality regulations must be observed during the investigation.
After all, the significance of the National Security Department of the Police Force is by no means as simple as the Hong Kong Government's disciplinary department.
Many of the secrets involved even exceed the boundaries of Hong Kong Island.
What's more, the ICAC's L Group has only the power of investigation within the ICAC.
Therefore, without the official investigation documents from the top and without the invitation and permission from the National Security Department personnel.
The head of the Lianji L Group was directly stopped at the reception desk of the police building.
To put it bluntly, the investigators of the ICAC may be qualified to break into Zhou Quan's office, or even the Government House in Hong Kong Island.
But if the other party breaks into the office area of the National Security Department, then the guards responsible for security work have full authority to enforce confidentiality discipline.
Even if the former is against the rules, if it is related to an emergency case, the ICAC will also have regulations to explain it afterwards.
But the situation represented by the latter is completely different.
National security secrets must not be lost at all, this is by no means an empty talk.
Fortunately, the news that the head of Lianji L Group rushed to the police building was finally reported to Liu Baoqiang.
He did not deliberately make things difficult for the other party, and directly arranged for his brothers to invite the person up.
Otherwise, the other party would not have been able to enter the office area of the National Security Department.
Soon, Cheng Deming, the chief investigator of the ICAC and the head of the L group of full-time internal monitoring, appeared in front of Liu Baoqiang and Lu Zhilian with a gloomy look.
He was the only one there, and the other members of the Lianji who came with him were blocked at the reception desk downstairs of the Tai Kwun.
Liu Baoqiang gave face to the ICAC by allowing Cheng Deming to go upstairs alone.
If Cheng Deming were allowed to bring people to the office area of the National Security Department again, not only the two directors above Liu Baoqiang would have objections.
I am afraid that even his boss Zhou Quan would be alarmed by this matter.
At that time, being pointed at and scolded by his own boss would be regarded as his boss's love for him.
"Liu Sir!"
"Senior!"
Cheng Deming suppressed his anger and barely maintained politeness to call for people.
He knew the special nature of the National Security Department of the police force.
But it is also true that two of his brothers were detained and the others were stopped outside.
Under such circumstances, how could he be in a good mood?
To put it bluntly, not only did he lose face, but the reputation of the entire ICAC would also be affected.
"Sir Cheng, please sit down!"
A formal smile appeared on Liu Baoqiang's lips. He also politely stood up to greet Cheng Deming and invited him to sit down.
Except for Lu Zhilian, Liu Baoqiang was not familiar with other Lianji members.
There could be no personal relationship, but they would not deliberately target each other.
After all, no matter what, both families are fighting to maintain the rule of law in Hong Kong Island.
"Thank you Sir Liu, but you don't have to sit down."
Cheng Deming forced a smile, tried his best to remain calm, and began to negotiate with Liu Baoqiang.
"Sir Liu, you have a heavy responsibility, and our ICAC is also very busy."
"Let's resolve the current conflict as soon as possible, so that we can devote our energy to work."
Speaking of this, Cheng Deming took a deep breath, and his tone could not help but rise a little.
"I would like to ask Sir Liu, why did you detain our ICAC investigators?"
After all, this is the headquarters of the National Security Department of the police force, and he and Liu Baoqiang had no conflicts before.
The most important thing is that unless it is necessary, he really doesn't want to offend the Chief Superintendent Liu in front of him.
So even if he is angry, he still maintains a high degree of restraint.
No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
"Sir Cheng, you are too serious."
With a faint smile, Liu Baoqiang sat down again, and the expression on his face was very calm.
"These two brothers are wandering outside the police building. I invite them to come up for tea."
"What do you want to know? How can you see clearly from such a distance?"
"As for detention, that's nonsense."
"You can ask these two brothers if I have restricted their movements?"
After listening to these words patiently, Cheng Deming couldn't help but cast a probing look at his two direct subordinates.
The two members of Lianji L Group who had just stood up shook their heads in shame.
They were indeed not restricted in their personal freedom, but this is the National Security Department of the police force.
Before the police captain spoke, the nominal big sir Director Lu even stated that he would wait for their boss here.
In the face of this situation, how dare the two of them have any opinions?
Sensing the evasive eyes of his subordinates, Cheng Deming glared at them with some regret.
At this moment, he also understood that his actions were indeed a bit reckless.
Surveillance was carried out outside the police building, so it was no wonder that the police asked people to go upstairs.
If it weren't for their identity as the Independent Commission Against Corruption, it would probably not be as simple as negotiating in the reception room of the Political Investigation Department.
"Sir Liu, I'm sorry to cause trouble to you!"
Cheng Deming took the initiative to bow his head, indicating that the matter was over.
Then, he looked at Lu Zhilian, who had been sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face.
"Senior, there is still work to be done at the headquarters. Let's talk about it when we go back?"
Lu Zhilian, the senior he has always admired, is the real core of the current problem.
Cheng Deming couldn't imagine that the senior who had brought him into the industry and trained him carefully would actually take bribes.
Is the title of ICAC Chief Investigator worth only 12 million? Or Hong Kong dollars?
"No need to cover it up, just come straight to the point here."
Lu Zhilian slowly raised his head, and he was also suppressing his anger at the moment.
"Kenny, why did you let Mark and Derek follow me?"
