Chapter 83 Nighttime Dog Circle Scene
Chapter 83 Nighttime Dog Circle Scene
"TMQSGL1583, 8317, dispatch immediately!"
An urgent command came from the high-frequency walkie-talkie, and the three paparazzi in the car immediately sat up.
The three paparazzi worked efficiently and quietly, with clear division of labor: driving, setting up equipment, and adjusting the cordon tape. Their instructions were perfectly clear thanks to the police station's internal coding system.
TM stands for Tuen Mun;
QSGL stands for Green Mountain Highway;
1583 is the location of the highway where the accident occurred;
8317 indicates the severity and nature of the car accident.
The police officers from Tuen Mun Police Station had already been stationed in different areas near Tuen Mun, and as soon as they started their cars, the paparazzi, who were always ready inside, were about to arrive at Castle Peak Road.
Upon arriving at the designated location, as expected, a car accident had occurred. The windows of both cars were scattered everywhere, and one of the windshields was covered in blood.
Upon seeing this, the three dogs immediately began their work.
One camera was responsible for setting up a cordon, another was pointed at a trembling woman crouching by the roadside and asking her leading questions, and the third was pointed at a man in the driver's seat whose fate was unknown.
Upon seeing the person who approached, the man looked up and cried out for help.
However, the paparazzi ignored his feelings, holding a camera in one hand to take pictures and lighting him with the other, constantly adjusting the angle to capture the clearest and most pitiful photos.
When the man saw that his cries for help went unanswered and he was instead being slapped around, he became angry and muttered curses under his breath, but his insults did not elicit any emotional response.
Even after getting the photos they wanted, the paparazzi didn't clean up the scene. Another paparazzi also completed their leading questions and obtained first-hand interview footage.
Not long after, Tuen Mun police officers arrived and were stunned to see the three officers with clearly defined roles and the cordon set up.
"Zhang...Zhang sir?"
The police officer stepped forward to inquire about the situation, but upon getting closer, he realized it was a sergeant from the Criminal Investigation Department and stood at attention to salute.
"No need for salutes. I'm no longer working at the police station! I've switched careers and become a lackey of Chief Zhou. I'll need your help from now on!"
Driver Zhang noticed a car approaching in the distance, handed over a pack of cigarettes, and said, "Help me out, get things sorted out as quickly as possible, and stop the other reporters from taking pictures."
"Yes, sir." The officer did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
For a long time, Lui Lek, who was half-black and half-white, had a huge influence even after retiring as a junior police officer. Chow Cham Chiao, who left his post as a gendarmerie commissioner, was undoubtedly even more intimidating.
Even this former probationary inspector in front of him had the ability to make life difficult for him, a junior officer. How could he dare not give him face?
When the reporter from Sing Tao Daily arrived, he was also taken aback when he saw the police cordon.
In the event of a car accident, police officers will usually provide basic first aid immediately and, depending on the situation, notify the fire department.
After all, ambulances, which appeared in the 30s, did not serve the general public.
The free ambulance service under the Fire Services Department, established by legislation in 1953, is not only limited in number, but most of it is located on Hong Kong Island.
"Go away, go away, there's nothing to film."
"The injured person needs to breathe, drive the car away quickly."
“…………”
It's strange that the reporter from Sing Tao Daily was driven away by police officers before they could even ask any questions.
In the past, there was no need to put up police tape at car accident scenes, since it wasn't a murder case and there was no concern about destroying evidence or causing adverse effects.
In the past, they would never drive away reporters, and even if it was inconvenient to take pictures, they would politely persuade them to leave.
A reporter noticed a car preparing to leave and, in the instant its headlights flashed, saw the equipment in the hands of three men in black. The reporter protested, "Why are they allowed to take pictures?"
"If you don't leave, I'll sue you for disturbing the peace."
"They arrived earlier, so you'd better hurry up and leave."
“…………”
Even knowing it was just a pretext, the Sing Tao Daily reporter could only leave helplessly.
Because the paparazzi received professional first aid, the police were able to handle the situation quickly, leaving the reporters who arrived later empty-handed.
The three paparazzi split into two groups: two continued to stake out their assigned areas, while the third, carrying film reels and videotapes, quickly rushed back to headquarters.
This scene also occurred in other districts.
By having access to the police station's exclusive channel and being able to decipher internal codes, the paparazzi from the Yanxun News Agency were always able to arrive at the scene first, quickly setting up a cordon to isolate others while taking photos.
Different scenes unfold in various hidden corners.
The Criminal Investigation Department's wiretapping team can recruit informants, but in the past, the scattered information provided by these informants could not be used as key evidence.
However, paparazzi don't need concrete evidence; making baseless accusations is enough.
That night, the news was almost entirely monopolized by the news agency, leaving reporters from other newspapers completely bewildered.
I don't understand why we keep missing people tonight, and why the police handle emergencies so quickly.
I don't understand why police officers don't allow filming; many minor things are usually allowed to be interviewed.
…………
Late at night, at the headquarters of the Koo News Agency.
Zhou Zhanqiao finally felt relieved. Although he had great faith in his subordinates' professionalism, he still felt at ease only after confirming the information.
Because Sanders stepped down from his ten-year position as HSBC CEO at the end of last year, and will also step down as chairman of the Hong Kong Jockey Club at the end of this year's racing season.
It is now certain that if Zhou Xinian resigns from his position as director after the end of the season, he will retain his honorary director title; if he refuses to resign, he will lose all face.
The clan leader was lost in 71 years;
The dairy company was lost in 72;
He lost his seat on the Hong Kong Jockey Club board in 73.
In just three short years, the once-powerful Zhou Yongtai family has fallen to such a state, and countless other family members will be implicated in the future. His position as head of the criminal investigation department is just the beginning.
While Uncle Nine is still in power and while his connections are still intact, they should quickly find a place to settle down and avoid being left with nothing but a vast expanse of white snow when disaster strikes.
In just one night, 21 news items were captured.
Chen Guanjiang was also very satisfied with this achievement, and it was the right decision to hand over the "Former Bagua Department" to Zhou Zhanqiao.
When paparazzi photograph celebrities, they still have some sense of propriety, but when they are allowed to use the powerful information gathering capabilities of the "former gossip department" to take photos, they become particularly unscrupulous.
What pleased Chen Guanjiang even more was that they also filmed nine sets of video recordings.
The newspaper only has print media, no radio or digital media, but that doesn’t mean these video recordings are worthless.
"Could you please ask Uncle Nine to help me arrange a meeting with Li Xiaohe, Yu Jingwei, and Shao Yifu?"
"Hmm? What do you want to do?"
If you intend to provide news footage to TVB on a long-term basis, you can directly contact General Manager Yu Jingwei. Contacting the Chairman directly is also an option, but meeting with all three at once seems highly unusual.
Chen Guanjiang fiddled with the video recording, his gaze deep, and said, "With the help of Chairman Zhou, the Hong Kong News has reached a new level and has the foundation to become the leading newspaper in Hong Kong."
"But becoming Hong Kong's leading newspaper company is never just about having the ability, is it?"
