Chapter 102【Go to the Police Station】
A few days later, news spread in the market that Sino Group Limited was about to go public.
In fact, Sino Land was established only a few months ago. Its founders are Singaporean tycoons Huang Tingfang and Huang Zhixiang, who entered the Hong Kong real estate industry in the early 70s. In May and June of this year, they established Sino Land, which is expected to be listed in mid-to-late July.
Although Huang Tingfang started to get involved in Singapore real estate in the 50s and was known as the Orchard Land King, the Chinese in Hong Kong were somewhat xenophobic (Hong Kong was too small and businessmen were unwilling to share a piece of the pie). Although Huang Tingfang and his son were wealthy, they were unable to make a big name for themselves in Hong Kong. Therefore, the Huang family did not have much influence in Hong Kong in the 70s, and its assets were only considered medium-sized among the Chinese.
Hong Kong stock investors have little interest in the heavily promoted Sino Properties. Most of them are taking a wait-and-see attitude. Except for some families that are on good terms with the Huang family and are willing to subscribe to shares, other large companies have not taken any action.
However, as a time traveler, Li Wendi knew that the Huang family was not as simple as it seemed. The subscribed Sun Hung Kai Properties shares were worth 2 yuan. Under the operation of Huang Tingfang and his son, the price would skyrocket in a short period of time. As for how much it would rise, Li Wendi forgot, but it would definitely not be less than 4 yuan.
Then Li Wendi can earn at least 100 million yuan in principal.
On the afternoon of the day when the subscription started, Wu Xiong called and said that he had bought 50 shares of Sun Hung Kai Properties, which made Li Wendi very happy.
Changheng Real Estate Company adopted Li Wendi's suggestion and began to announce the purchase of a large number of high-quality properties. In addition, it bought newsprint to create momentum, making investors believe in the stocks of Changheng Real Estate Company. As a result, the stock price of Changheng Real Estate Company rose by 0.5 yuan that day.
Li Wendi naturally didn't want to wait any longer, because the Chen brothers and sisters were not bold and courageous people, which meant that Changheng Real Estate Company was destined to not become a high-quality enterprise. Moreover, once the heat died down, he would not be able to sell the stocks in his hands.
Although there will be some losses if he sells it now (he won't make that much), the profit will also be considerable, and he now needs funds to invest in companies that are about to go public and the real estate industry.
So Li Wendi called Wu Xiong and asked him to sell the shares of Changheng Real Estate Company slowly and not to arouse the market's vigilance.
At the moment when Li Wendi put down the phone, the receptionist came in with a few policemen, "Boss, these policemen are looking for you."
When Li Wendi saw Sir, he immediately became alert, a little worried that it was the case of Lin Jianmin. However, after being in the business world for so long, he was still able to pretend to be calm. He smiled and said, "I wonder what Sir wants to talk to me about?"
The police officer was very professional. He showed Li Wendi his police ID and said seriously, "Hello, Mr. Li! I am Chief Inspector Zhang Wenhuai. I now suspect that you are related to the murder of Inspector Lin Jianmin. I would like to ask you to return to the police station to assist in the investigation."
Li Wendi smiled faintly. He was not very familiar with Hong Kong's laws, but he knew that he had to produce documents to assist in the investigation, so he said, "Okay, please produce the documents."
Police Chief Zhang Wenhuai pulled out a document expressionlessly, "Look carefully, is this an assistance order issued by the headquarters?"
Li Wendi nodded and said, "Okay, it's true, but I want to call my lawyer, please wait a moment."
Zhang Wenhuai spread his hands and signaled Li Wendi to do as he pleased.
Li Wendi naturally called Zhao Wanying and asked her to go to the Central Police Headquarters immediately because he was in big trouble.
"Mr. Li, are we going now?" Zhang Wenhuai urged. In his eyes, Li Wendi was still a gangster, and he couldn't hide it even though he worked in a shopping mall.
"Let's go!" Li Wendi said with a smile, which concealed his inner panic.
In his previous life, he had watched Hong Kong movies about the 70s. The police at that time were lawless. After entering the police station, they would beat the suspects at will until the suspects confessed to the charges.
This is also one of the reasons why he contacted Zhao Wanying immediately.
Central Police Station
Li Wendi was pulled into a separate interrogation room. Opposite him sat two plainclothes policemen, who stared at him ferociously, as if they wanted to eat him up.
"Name? Home address?" The dark-skinned policeman asked expressionlessly, holding a pen.
Li Wendi answered all the questions one by one, without any panic in his tone. "Where were you from 6 to 18 p.m. on Sunday, June 6?" the police officer asked Li Wendi.
"At home, many neighbors can vouch for me." Li Wendi replied calmly.
"Someone saw you in Kwai Chung that night. How do you explain it?"
Li Wendi curled his lips and smiled. "I did not appear in Kwai Chung on June 6. If someone really said they saw me, they must have seen me wrongly."
"I heard that you had a business dispute with Inspector Lin Jianmin, and you blamed Lin Jianmin for Guo Cuiting being hit by a car, so you sent someone to kill him and threw the body into the sea, right?" The sir suddenly stood up, staring into Li Wendi's eyes, and his spit almost sprayed on Li Wendi's face.
Li Wendi stopped answering and stared straight into Sir's eyes.
"Answer me!" The Sir shouted again. Seeing that Li Wendi was still in that arrogant state, he sneered and said, "Don't think that you will be alright if you don't answer. We have a lot of things here to make you behave yourself."
"You are a smart person, and you have been a leader before, so you should know the rules. If you admit your crime, you can suffer less physical pain."
Li Wendi was not frightened, and sneered, "Of course I know your methods, but you also know our methods. If I die here, someone will avenge me. If I survive and get out of here, I will also avenge myself. Sir, why do you have to do this?"
"Working so hard for the case is not good for anyone. Besides, I have never killed Lin Jianmin. If I wanted to kill him, I would not do it at that time."
"Are you threatening me? Don't forget that this is the police station. I am the boss, not you." The police officer walked to Li Wendi's side and whispered in his ear, "Killing you is just a small matter. For example, if you grab a gun and attack a police officer, we have no choice but to shoot you to death. I don't think He Liansheng would dare to say anything."
"Really? I have already informed my lawyer before coming here, and I have already put down a deposit of 100 million there. If I die, this 100 million will become a reward. Whoever kills the murderer can go to the lawyer to get the money." Li Wendi tried his best to suppress his panic in his heart and make himself more sober.
"Hmph! Do you think I will believe you? Li Wendi, no matter how rich you are, you are just a gangster. Tell the truth and maybe you can save your life."
Li Wendi stopped talking and sat there with a blank expression.
The officer began to get impatient. He grabbed Li Wendi by the collar and threatened with gritted teeth, "Do you really think I dare not touch you? Admit it honestly, and you can suffer less physical pain."
When the Sir's fist was about to hit Li Wendi's face, the door of the interrogation room was opened.
"Stop! Is this how you police officers treat the citizens who assist in investigating the case? I will complain to the Governor's Office." When Zhao Wanying saw this scene, she quickly reprimanded loudly.
"Who are you? How dare you hinder the police from investigating the case? I will arrest you too."
"Lin Jianye, what are you doing? This is lawyer Zhao Wanying." The sheriff immediately stopped the police officer's behavior.
"Hmph!" Lin Jianye could only give up and stand aside with a sullen look on his face.
"You are intimidating my client. I reserve the right to hold you accountable in court." Zhao Wanying looked unhappy.
"Have you finished questioning my client?" Zhao Wanying asked.
The police chief said, "Now that we have finished our questioning, Mr. Li can leave now, but we hope that Mr. Li will not leave Hong Kong for the time being."
"I finally understand how you police officers do things." Li Wendi turned around and said to Lin Jianye, "You should be Lin Jianmin's younger brother. I will remember you. Next time I see Councillor Zhang, I will praise you and your police force to him."
