Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 859: Qiu Gangao is acquitted

The people next to him also whispered, "Yeah, this Situ Jie looks like an old silver coin. This time, Hua Sir came to watch and support Qiu Gangao. Now he actually dares to say this. He definitely doesn't want to be in the police force anymore."

At this time, Watson was sitting calmly in the audience.

"Mr. Situ Jie, do you know what kind of person He Weile is? What bad habits does he have?"

Situ Jie paused and said, "It's clear that He Weile is a criminal with a criminal record."

Lin Liangshui immediately spoke up, "In this case, it's clear to us that He Weile is a criminal with a criminal record. He's involved in prostitution, gambling, and drugs, and has over ten diseases, including infectious diseases."

"Qiu Gangao, the person involved, was fully aware of this information. However, it was under these circumstances that He Weile took the initiative to bite a police officer on the cheek, causing the blood to flow uncontrollably."

"Everyone knows that infectious diseases are most easily transmitted through the mouth. He Weile bit the victim's cheek and held on tightly. Under such circumstances, is it reasonable for Qiu Gangao and others to hit him?"

"We can't just allow criminals to attack the police without allowing the police to fight back!"

"So, Qiu Gangao knew clearly that He Weile was a criminal with a contagious disease. After seeing him attack the police officers, he retaliated. Coincidentally, He Weile had more than ten diseases."

“This is what led to him collapsing completely after being counterattacked by the police officer.”

"Your Honor, fellow jurors, perhaps according to Hong Kong law, Qiu Gangao did commit a crime, but as a police officer, while on his way to rescuing Hong Kong citizens, he fought back and killed a criminal who posed a serious threat. Such a good police officer should not bear such responsibility!"

After Lin Liangshui finished speaking, he bowed to the judge and the jurors.

Watson in the audience was the first to applaud.

Seeing Watson clapping, other people in the audience immediately followed suit.

The judge couldn't help but bang the gavel and shout, "Silence!"

When the courtroom quieted down, the judge looked at the jurors and asked, "Dear jurors, what do you think?"

Several jurors looked at each other, and one of them stood up and said, "As a representative of the jurors, I agree that Team Qiu Gangao is not guilty."

"We hold the following viewpoints. First, Qiu Gangao and his companions engaged in a fight with criminals while rescuing citizens on Hong Kong Island. They retaliated after the criminals launched the attack, resulting in the police officers suffering second-degree injuries."

"It's only natural that He Weile was killed by the police as a gangster. If the police were punished for this incident, who would dare to protect us in the future?"

The judge looked at the jurors, who were looking a little agitated. He immediately turned to look at Qiu Gangao, then raised his gavel. After a loud bang, he said, "I will now pronounce the verdict. Qiu Gangao and his companions encountered criminals while rescuing Hong Kong citizens, and they fought back despite the criminals posing a huge threat and attacking first."

"Therefore, this court now declares that Qiu Gangao and others are not guilty and are released on the spot!"

When Baozhu and others heard this, they immediately jumped up excitedly.

"Wow!"

Brother Biao was so excited that he clasped his hands together quietly and looked at Watson sitting in the audience with gratitude.

Not only him, but several other people also looked at Watson with the same expression.

They all knew very well that if it weren't for Watson, they would not have been able to escape so easily this time.

After hearing the judge's verdict, Situ Jie frowned tightly. He had already torn his face with Qiu Gangao and others, and now they were found not guilty. Then what did he do before would be counted?

Zhang Chongbang didn't know why, but he felt a little disappointed, because now in the Central District Serious Crime Squad, he and Qiu Gangao were the only two competitors. If Qiu Gangao was arrested and imprisoned, then the position of commander of the Serious Crime Squad would most likely be his.

As the iron fence where the defendant was located was opened, Baozhu and others quickly rushed out and hugged their families tightly.

After Qiu Gangao came out, he immediately came to Hua Sheng's trial and said solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Hua."

Watson smiled nonchalantly, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just a small matter. Okay, everything is fine now. Reunite with your family. They are very worried about you."

Qiu Gangao nodded heavily. His parents were also high-level intellectuals. His father was a university professor and his mother was a doctor.

With a good family background, top talents like Qiu Gangao were cultivated.

Watson took Chen Yongren and slowly left the court. As he was leaving, he happened to see Situ Jie and couldn't help but jokingly called out, "Hey, isn't this Situ Sir? Why do you look so unhappy?"

When Situ Jie saw that it was Watson, he didn't dare to turn his face away. He forced a smile and said, "Nothing, maybe I have a stomachache."

Watson smiled faintly, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff and said, "As a person, you can't be indecisive. I hate traitors the most. If you work in the police force, you must respect the rules of the police force. If everyone is not of one mind, then there is no need to stay in the police force. What do you think, Situ Jie?"

Situ Jie froze. He didn't expect Watson to speak so bluntly, but he didn't dare to get angry. He could only pretend that he knew nothing, lowered his head, and dared not say anything.

Watson sneered, then took Chen Yongren away. To be honest, seeing such a guy was simply polluting his eyes.

Situ Jie stood where he was, clenching his fists tightly, but he didn't dare to say a single harsh word.

Because he understood that he could fall out with Uncle Piao, but he could not fall out with Watson.

Even if he fell out with Uncle Pao, he still had the Secretary for Security as his backer, so nothing would happen to him.

But if he fell out with Watson, even the Secretary for Security couldn't save him. Now everyone in the police force knew that Watson was the confidant of the police chief, Wong Bing-yao, and was the next Deputy Director of Operations.

If you fall out with Watson, it's almost like falling out with the entire police force. At that time, not to mention being harassed, it's hard to say whether you can continue to stay in the police force.

That is why even though Situ Jie was corrupted by Watson, he did not dare to turn against him, and he did not even dare to say any harsh words.
