MTL - Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong-Chapter 1521 Royal charter!

Jiang Shijie frowned. He wished that he had found Liu Jianxiong because he had a personal grievance with Shi Zhijian, and Liu Jianxiong would kill Shi Zhijian with one bite, but he didn't expect that Liu Jianxiong was so cunning that he didn't admit it.

"Liu Sheng! I hope you can cooperate with our work! Now we are collecting evidence, as long as you are willing to admit that you are the whistleblower of the anonymous letter, you can act as a whistleblower witness for our ICAC, so that we have the power to deal with Shi Zhijian!" Jiang Shijie continued. , "Otherwise, according to our law, the other party will be detained for at most forty-eight hours, or even shorter!"

"I don't know what I said. It's useless if you ask more!" Liu Jianxiong will not be a fool to be a pioneer. The reason why he reported anonymously is to let the ICAC people take the lead and hide behind to take advantage of it.

Jiang Shijie asked a few more questions, but Liu Jianxiong denied everything, and either kept silent and said he had no comment, or waited for his lawyer to come.

Jiang Shijie couldn't bear it anymore.

Bailiqu entrusted him with Shi Zhijian's case. It can be said that he was under great pressure! If you know you don't succeed this time, you will succeed! Especially with Shi Zhijian's status, it is a miracle to bring him to the ICAC. If no strong evidence can be found in the shortest time, then this investigation will be completely over.

He was so anxious that Jiang Shijie couldn't care less, seeing that Liu Jianxiong was still unwilling to cooperate, he slammed the table: "Mr. ? As long as you let go, we can let you be our tainted witness, and then we can crucify Shi Zhijian!"

"Crucify him? Who is Shi Zhijian? The third-class earl of the British Empire, a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council! He is not an ordinary businessman! Don't think that I don't understand the law. According to the principle, you are not even qualified to try a crime committed by nobles! What viscount, Earl level, you can’t file a case at all! Now that you are detaining me, don’t you want me to be a scapegoat? Wait until you really settle Shi Zhijian!” After Liu Jianxiong finished speaking, he ignored Jiang Shijie and others, looking relaxed Get up and drink your coffee.

Jiang Shijie's lungs were about to explode!

With a "snap", he slammed the table again, put his hands on the table and glared at Liu Jianxiong: "Liu Sheng, I'm giving you one last chance, are you going to cooperate or not?!"

at this time-

"Ajie, what tone do you use to speak to Liu Sheng?" A majestic voice sounded.

Jiang Shijie immediately restrained his posture.

Others also hurriedly showed respect.

Liu Jianxiong looked towards the door, and saw Bailiqu, the ghost, walking in from outside with a civilized staff, a top hat, and a suit.

"My lord, hello!" Jiang Shijie and others bowed to Bailiqu one after another.

Behind Bailiqu was four or five attendants, shouting in front of him and hugging behind him, full of aura.

Bailiqu nodded slightly to the crowd as a greeting, then smiled and looked at Liu Jianxiong who was sitting on the chair.

Under Bailiqu's sharp gaze, Liu Jianxiong felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and he couldn't help standing up from his chair. He didn't know what to say, and it took him a long time to say: "Hello, Sir Bailiqu."

"It's good that you know me, hehe! Sit down!" Bailiqu seemed approachable.

Liu Jianxiong sat down somewhat cautiously.

Bailiqu took off his top hat and handed it to the person next to him, and then put aside the civilized stick he was holding. Jiang Shijie hurriedly moved a chair and placed it in front of Bailiqu.

Bailiqu sat down, faced Liu Jianxiong with a slight smile and said, "To be honest, Mr. Liu Jianxiong, I have admired you for a long time!"

"Uh, thank you." Liu Jianxiong didn't know what to say.

"You and Shi Zhijian were known as the two heroes of Xiangjiang back then. The two worked hard together and established the Shinhwa Group. They can be called heroes for a while!" Bailiqu praised Liu Jianxiong without hesitation.

"It was only later that I heard that you and Shi Zhijian had differences in business philosophy, so they parted ways! Since then, you have become more like a fish in water, and without Shi Zhijian's strong pressure, you have made great achievements in the fields of finance and real estate!"

"Ahem, sir, you're being ridiculous!" Liu Jianxiong said modestly.

"Did I praise you, you know it very well! After all, it is a miracle that you can make such a big achievement in Xiangjiang at your age!" Bailiqu continued, "In the past, if you had any achievements, you would Being overshadowed by Shi Zhijian, or putting those achievements on Shi Zhijian's head, let him stand out and stand out, while you, the real hero, can only stay behind the scenes!"

"But it's different now. You, Liu Jianxiong, are already self-reliant, and you have your own company and career, so you don't have to follow Shi Zhijian's face anymore! On the contrary, after Shi Zhijian lost you, Shinhwa Group has developed rapidly, but it is full of mistakes. Recently, he himself is facing a series of bribery charges!"

Every sentence of Bailiqu was very specific, at least it caught Liu Jianxiong's pulse and made him listen attentively.

"It is true that Shi Zhijian has a special status. As a third-class earl of the British Empire and a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, according to the usual practice, the police have no right to file a case, let alone investigate and interrogate! After all, gentlemen in the British Empire also want face! But the problem is —”

Bailiqu changed the subject, "This is the ICAC! We have had the strongest independence since its establishment! We have been separated from all government agencies! Neither the administration nor the judiciary can govern us! We have an independent and And powerful investigative powers! In other words, here, even the governor of Hong Kong, we have the right to be held accountable!"

What Bailiqu said made the blood boil!

In fact it is true.

Since the establishment of the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption in 1974, the staff of the Independent Commission Against Corruption have not been affiliated with the government's civil servant structure. Its head, the Commissioner of Independent Corruption, is directly responsible to the Supreme Governor of Hong Kong, and is only responsible to him. He has absolute power in Hong Kong according to laws and regulations, and can be fully independent Handle all anti-corruption work.

Furthermore, in order to effectively expose, investigate and combat corruption, the ICAC is endowed with special powers by the following three laws, namely the ICAC Ordinance, the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance and the Elections (Corrupt and Illegal Conduct) Ordinance. The initial scope of its survey was civil servants, and then expanded to public institutions, and then included all private institutions.

It is precisely because of the absolutely powerful privileges of the ICAC that Bailiqu has the courage to wrestle with Shi Zhijian, a member of the Legislative Council and the third Earl of the British Empire.

"Speaking of which, we have to thank Shi Zhijian himself for all of this! He was the one who suggested the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and gave the Independent Commission Against Corruption absolute power, so that he could ignore his powerful earl status and parliamentary status and hold him accountable —" Bailiqu had a smug smile on his face, "According to the words of your Chinese, this is called—to use the other's spear, attack the other's shield!"

Bailiqu's words made Liu Jianxiong's mind alive.

Indeed, from the very beginning, Liu Jianxiong was afraid of Shi Zhijian's special status, thinking that the ICAC and Ben had nothing to do with him.

But now, listening to what Sir Bailiqu said, it seems that the ICAC has the power and even the Governor of Hong Kong can be held accountable! Doesn't that mean that Shi Zhijian is also likely to capsize in the gutter? !

Thinking of this, Liu Jianxiong's eyes became dazed.

Who is Bailiqu, he has a first-class ability to read words and demeanor, and he can tell what Liu Jianxiong is thinking just by looking at Liu Jianxiong's expression.

Immediately stepped up his efforts and said: "Liu Sheng, I have always admired you as a human being! At least you have never been with someone! In this case, I will tell you a little bit, and now we are searching for Mr. Shi Zhijian. A series of corruption evidence, including the whereabouts of 500 million in cash when he raided Lei Luo's mansion, and the flow of about 500 million in cash when he seized the assets of Chen Zhichao, Lan Gang, and Han Sen and others..."

"That is to say, there is a total of one billion Hong Kong dollars before and after, and Shi Zhijian can't tell where it went—" Bailiqu cast a sharp look at Liu Jianxiong, "But our investigators have already obtained a lot of conclusive evidence, which can prove that Where did the money go!"

Liu Jianxiong felt a "thump" in his heart, and looked straight at Bailiqu.

Bailiqu smiled, and suddenly waved his hand and said to Jiang Shijie, "Open the next door!"

"Obey!"

Immediately under Liu Jianxiong's nose, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Jiang Shijie and others opened the door of the next room.

Liu Jianxiong looked over and suddenly found that Shi Zhijian was leaning against another interrogation room, looking at him with a smile.

As Shi Zhijian's personal lawyer, the chubby Liang Youcai looked capable, carrying a briefcase, suit and leather shoes, and accompanied Shi Zhijian.

It turned out that the two interrogation rooms were connected. When Liu Jianxiong was being interrogated, Shi Zhijian heard everything clearly.

"Uh, how did this happen?" Liu Jianxiong turned pale with shock, and immediately searched for what he said wrong just now, did he directly offend Shi Zhijian?

But after he searched like this, he blamed himself, what am I afraid of him? Why are you afraid of offending him? ! I, Liu Jianxiong, am not afraid of anything! Yes, I am not afraid of anyone?

As he said this in his heart, the astonishment on his face became more and more obvious.

On the side, Bailiqu was very satisfied with Liu Jianxiong's shocked expression.

He glanced at Shi Zhijian intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Dear Earl Shi, Councilor Shi, shall I use this method to ask for a confession?"

"How could it be?" Shi Zhijian shrugged, "Continue!"

Liang Youcai said, "Mr. Shi, we can refuse, or even protest!"

Shi Zhijian waved his hand: "No need! I'm very curious about how this play will continue!"

Seeing Shi Zhijian say this, Liang Youcai opened his mouth and couldn't say anything more.

In fact, from Liang Youcai's point of view, Shi Zhijian didn't need to cooperate like this from the beginning to the end. If Shi Zhijian needed it, he could get up and leave the ICAC now. Presumably no one here would dare to stop him.

What nonsense special powers, no matter how special they are, they are not qualified to interrogate Shi Zhijian!

You know, the Independent Commission Against Corruption was founded by Shi Zhijian!

He is the famous "Father of the Independent Commission Against Corruption!"
