Within the Police Force, when it came to intelligence gathering,
if the National Security Department claimed second place, no other department dared claim first.
Not even the Criminal Intelligence Bureau could compare with the increasingly well-developed National Security Department.
Moreover, everyone present knew the character and temperament of Luo Danian, the National Security Department's current Big Sir, very well.
This newly promoted Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Luo was certainly not a man who spoke without grounds.
Since he had openly stated that Customs might have landed itself in serious trouble, the circumstances behind it could not be underestimated.
For a moment, the atmosphere throughout the conference room grew heavy.
Everyone seated there could be considered part of the Police Force's highest decision-making body.
Apart from Lau Kit-fai, all of them had originally been elites of the Action Group.
Even Lau Kit-fai himself, despite never having worked on the Police Force's operational front lines, was by no means lacking in professional ability.
For Luo Danian to take the trouble so seriously, the arms-smuggling ship seized by Customs certainly had some significant backing.
Besides, ordinary small-time criminals could never have obtained cutting-edge goods such as torpedoes, missiles, and laser gyroscopes.
The mastermind behind this arms-smuggling case probably had quite a reputation internationally.
"Ah Nin, tell us what intelligence you've gathered!"
Slowly straightening in his seat, Zhou Quan asked with keen interest.
At that moment, he, too, felt somewhat surprised deep down.
He had previously picked up traces of Red Thief ahead of time, only for an international arms smuggler to emerge before Red Thief had even appeared.
The reason Zhou Quan could determine that the other party was not Red Thief, but another criminal group,
was that the arms-smuggling ship seized by Customs did not fit Red Thief's methods at all.
