After all, the Independent Commission Against Corruption's greatest achievement is its reliance on the police.

But this time the Z Foundation and Jockey Club case opened Lu Zhilian's eyes.

With the protection of the police force, even if Hu Zhiyong sent a dozen gunmen, he was still defeated in the end.

And with the financial support of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the police force can handle cases much more easily.

If nothing else, let’s just say that during the last surveillance of Li Li, the police did not even have any face-to-face contact with the other party. They relied on monitoring equipment to grasp the situation of Li Li and Shen Huashan, thus obtaining a witness like Li Li.

This time, the biggest reason why Zhang Pin, Zhou Xingxing and others came to enjoy Lu Zhilian's meal was because they also got a lot of benefits from the last cooperation.

Among other things, Hu Zhiyong ordered his men to kill two accountants, Chen Yongcai and Luo Luo Yong, and also wanted to assassinate the investigation commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Coupled with the assassination of the Jockey Club trader.

Although most of these cases are handled by the police, the Independent Commission Against Corruption has indeed made a lot of efforts.

Especially in the cases of Chen Yongcai and Luo Luo Yong, the main evidence was provided by the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Moreover, in a case as big as the Z Fund, although the ICAC takes all the obvious benefits, if it really wants to benefit, the police force is actually not willing to give in too much.

After all, the lives of Lu Zhilian and others were saved by members of the police force.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption hogs the limelight in terms of publicity, but the police force also has many benefits.

For example, because of the Z Foundation case, the police finally decided to establish a new joint wealth investigation team in addition to the Commercial Crime Investigation Division.

The main work of this investigation team is to combat the increasing number of money laundering crimes on Hong Kong Island that are becoming more and more mature and standardized.

Moreover, the first chief of this joint wealth investigation team is none other than Sir Zhang.

Although Zhang Pin's police rank was not promoted, his power was greatly increased.

Apart from anything else, even the various teams in the headquarters of the Hong Kong Island Police Force generally have a fixed jurisdiction.

Not to mention the administrative team, even the operations department often needs to notify the local police station in advance when they leave the headquarters and go to other jurisdictions to do work. Otherwise, collisions between the two sides may happen.

But there is something different about this joint wealth investigation team.

That is the authority of the team, which is to investigate all money laundering crimes in Hong Kong Island.

To put it simply, as long as this team investigates projects related to money laundering, it does not need to be restricted by jurisdiction.

As long as Zhang Pin wants to, as long as it is within the scope of Hong Kong Island, he has legal authority.

Such a permission may seem inconspicuous, but if it is actually operated, the space that can be operated is too large.

After all, the authority of the team is to investigate anything related to money laundering, and what is related to money laundering and what is irrelevant, there is actually a lot of room for explanation.

There is naturally a reason why the superiors gave this right to Zhang Pin.

The first is the Z Fund incident. Hu Zhiyong went too far.

It is not that there were no economic crimes on Hong Kong Island in the past. On the contrary, economic crimes on Hong Kong Island may be the most common among all criminal incidents.

As a free trade port, it is an excellent hotbed for economic crimes.

However, the reason why economic crimes in the past were not listed as the most important issue for the Hong Kong Island police force and authorities.

Firstly, in addition to some unspeakable things, more importantly, economic crimes are relatively secretive compared to other vicious crimes.

Secondly, the direct casualties will not be too serious.

But what happened to Hu Zhiyong was different.

This guy suddenly got rich, and he doesn't have the tacit understanding that a rich person should have.

For the rich, it is inevitable to squeeze every penny out of the poor, but they often start from a spiritual level.

For example, find ways to make the other party empty their wallets to buy things, or even take out loans.

After all, these methods are separated by a layer, even if they are squeezed, they are subtle.

But Hu Zhiyong is different. He does things simply and roughly, destroying enemies directly from the physical level.

Doing things like this is naturally not in line with the rules of wealthy people.

All of them are very rich. Even if they commit something, they are not willing to risk their lives against others unless necessary.

After all, if they just fight for other things, they will lose some money at most. If they lose this thing, they can find a way to earn it back.

But life is different.

If you lose, you won't be able to buy it back no matter how much money you have.

It is precisely because of this that rich people like to follow rules more.
