Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1247 Search of the Villa District

Watson waited downstairs for five minutes. When no one came down, he immediately shouted, "I'm glad everyone supports me. This operation is very dangerous. Those terrorists could be hiding in any villa, so everyone must be careful during the search."

"As for why we need everyone to lead the team personally, I'm sure you all know that people who can afford to live in villas are all quite powerful. If ordinary police officers lead the team, those people probably won't even open the door."

"I want to say this in advance: when you arrive at their door, ask them to open it first. If they don't open it within two minutes, break it down and enter. If they try to stop you, arrest them immediately. Don't waste words with them. I'll take responsibility for any problems. Even if the sky falls, I, Watson, will be the first to hold it up. Do you understand?"

Everyone shouted, "Yes, Sir!"

Watson shouted, "Let's go!"

Police cars drove out of the police station and headed towards the villa area.

Upon arriving at their destination, Watson immediately ordered, "Uniformed team, take your men and surround and seal off the entire villa area. Do not allow anyone to enter or leave. We'll discuss everything after we've finished searching."

"Each officer at the superintendent level or above will lead a team of officers to search the villa. Those who have searched the villa will report back, and I will have someone compile a list. If you encounter danger, do not fight back; just call for backup. I have already arranged for the Flying Tigers to be on the side as a support team. No matter who calls for backup, they will be able to arrive quickly."

"action!"

At Watson's command, all the superintendents immediately took their men and began to move out.

The police officers in this operation were all elites from departments such as the Serious Crimes Unit, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, the Criminal Intelligence Bureau, and the Narcotics Bureau. The uniformed officers with average combat capabilities could only blockade the perimeter.

Watson himself led a group of people toward a villa, and when they arrived at the door, they rang the doorbell.

Soon, the door was opened a crack, and a servant timidly said, "Sir, may I ask what's the matter?"

Watson immediately showed his police ID: "I am Watson, Deputy Commissioner of Police. I am here to search this villa. Please open the door."

The maid, looking troubled, said, "We'll have to ask the master..."

Watson had no time to waste. He flung open the door and shouted, "Come in with me!"

With that, he pushed the servant aside and strode inside.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses inside became furious upon seeing this and shouted, "What do you want to do? Is there no law anymore?"

Watson stepped forward, looking at the other person with icy eyes: "Think carefully before you speak. We are searching for terrorists. If you obstruct official business, we will arrest you."

Looking at Watson's police uniform and the rank insignia on his shoulders, the middle-aged man swallowed hard. He wasn't ignorant; he knew a thing or two about police uniforms and ranks. Plus, the people who came in to search were all heavily armed, looking like they were ready to shoot at any moment, which successfully intimidated him.

The same scenario unfolded in each of the villas.

Of course, not everyone cooperated. Some people didn't take the police force seriously and even threatened to call the police's higher-ups, but they were taken down immediately.

Watson stood in the lobby on the first floor, waiting for the search results.

The officers searched very thoroughly, even the basement was searched.

Just then, a voice came through Watson's earpiece.

"Officer Hua, a woman has been found imprisoned in the basement of Villa No. 16..."

Watson's eyes turned cold: "Arrest and interrogate the homeowner." He then added, "If any illegal activities are found during this search, they will need to be dealt with, but we'll handle them urgently first. The interrogation and other work can be done tomorrow, but the arrest can begin now."

"Yes, Sir!"

The voices of all the police superintendents came through the headset.

Next, instead of finding the terrorists, they uncovered a great deal of dirty work.

Once wealthy people achieve financial freedom, all sorts of thoughts arise in their minds, and some even disregard the law, gradually becoming unscrupulous.

His various perverse thoughts began to be gradually put into practice.

If they hadn't seen it before, that would have been one thing, but now that they have, Watson will no longer tolerate them.

However, as Watson conducted indiscriminate searches of the villa area, it gradually aroused the anger of the residents, who made various complaints by phone, some even calling the Governor's House.

Upon receiving the news, Governor MacLehose angrily called Wong Bing-Yiu: "What are you trying to do? Why are you searching the villa area? Do you have any evidence? Do you know how much of an impact this will have?"

When Wong Bing-yiu gathered the superintendents, he already knew about this matter. He even went to the meeting room in person and reprimanded the superintendents who dared not go down. In his heart, he also marked those who stayed behind with a negative impression.

Upon receiving the Governor's call, he said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, you are surely aware of the impact caused by terrorists. The reason the police force is doing this is to find those terrorists as soon as possible. As for the impact, we don't care. Our duty is to protect Hong Kong Island and its people."

"Shit! You're conducting a search without any evidence! You're committing a crime!" McClelland shouted.

"No, Your Excellency, we are protecting Hong Kong Island!"

After saying that, Huang Bingyao hung up the phone with a cold expression. He understood that if he didn't find those terrorists soon, they would continue to force the driver to run people over.

He probably won't even last seven days as Commissioner of Police before he's dismissed. Supporting Watson now is not only helping himself, but also protecting Hong Kong Island.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, MacLehose was stunned in disbelief. In Hong Kong, someone actually dared to hang up on him. He was going crazy.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck."

MacLehose cursed a few times and angrily slammed the phone away.

"boom!"

Hearing the commotion, the governor's secretary came in: "Your Excellency, are you alright?"

"Get out!"

MacLehose roared loudly, his expression somewhat ferocious.

The secretary was startled and quickly retreated.

On Hong Kong Island, Murray MacLehose is king, but now, someone is challenging his authority.

If it were anyone else, he would have dismissed them long ago, but the one challenging his authority was the Commissioner of Police, which made things very difficult.

Moreover, there are terrorists causing trouble on Hong Kong Island right now. If the Commissioner of Police is dismissed at this time, then his term as Governor will be coming to an end.

Unless he can quickly arrest those terrorists after dismissing the Commissioner of Police and bring peace to the entire Hong Kong Island, his time as governor is almost over.
