If Zhang Ziqiang managed to collect the ransom and ultimately get away unscathed,
not only would the Police Force's prestige suffer a severe blow, but Hong Kong Island's social elite would all feel threatened as well.
Even the criminals would discover a whole new world of opportunities.
Wouldn't kidnapping wealthy businessmen's relatives, or even the businessmen themselves, be far more profitable than taking risks trafficking drugs?
When that happened, the stability of society across Hong Kong Island would be severely affected.
"With Hong Kong Island's return to the Motherland imminent, vicious incidents like this absolutely cannot be allowed to happen."
Zhou Quan struck the lectern hard with his pointer, his expression solemn and serious.
"Zhang Ziqiang's criminal gang couldn't have suddenly returned to Hong Kong Island and immediately carried out a kidnapping."
Zhou Quan then continued laying out his operation.
"They must have scouted the location beforehand to act so swiftly and decisively."
At that, Zhou Quan swung his pointer behind him, indicating another photograph on the projection screen.
"Lung Chi-fei, or rather, Cheung Chi-fei, is Zhang Ziqiang's younger brother. Zhang Ziqiang dotes on him."
"He's a compulsive gambler and extremely brazen. Zhang Ziqiang has cleaned up plenty of trouble for this younger brother of his."
"With Zhang Ziqiang's gang slipping into Hong Kong Island, someone with Lung Chi-fei's temperament couldn't possibly stay obediently by Zhang Ziqiang's side the whole time."
Turning his gaze to Chow Sing Sing, Zhou Quan issued his assignment directly.
"Ah Sing, have your TUI sweep the underground casinos on Hong Kong Island and see whether you can find any trace of him."
"Lung Chi-fei could very well be one of our leads to finding Zhang Ziqiang's gang."
Before Chow Sing Sing could reply, Zhou Quan immediately shifted his gaze to Lok Kai-cheung and Kwan Man
