Chan Kwok-wah and Gei Siu-kwan did not understand what Zhou Quan meant, but since their boss had asked a question,
the two of them would naturally tell him everything they knew, holding nothing back.
"Boss, right after you went upstairs to command the operation, Inspector Gei and I finished the interrogation."
After giving it a little thought, Chan Kwok-wah spoke first. "Those two foreigners were already in the office area by then."
"They said they had been sent by Interpol and the America Drug Enforcement Bureau to assist with the Ice Queen investigation."
"I checked both their credentials and verified them with Tai Kwun. There were no problems."
"But I keep feeling that those two foreigners are here for more than just helping with the investigation."
"Especially Rick, that assistant supervisor from the America Drug Enforcement Bureau. He was extremely attentive."
"Normally speaking, now that you've caught Ice Queen, Boss,"
"how to deal with her next is our own business here on Hong Kong Island."
"Their assignment should already be over."
"Yet that foreigner Rick was still just as enthusiastic. I don't believe these American foreigners would really be so keen to help Hong Kong Island."
At this point, Chan Kwok-wah paused briefly before continuing with a somewhat grave expression. "And that foreigner Rick kept subtly fishing for information about Ice Queen."
Chan Kwok-wah had served in the Police Force for many years, spending most of that time rotating between serious crimes and anti-triad work.
There was absolutely no question about his wealth of experience.
They were all old foxes. Why bother trying to outfox one another?
No matter how careful that foreigner Rick had been, Chan Kwok-wah had still noticed something amiss.
Compared with Chan Kwok-wah's lengthy account, Gei Siu-kwan's answer was succinct and direct.
"It's greed!"
