Chapter 496(1/2)
Today's petition can also be called a demonstration.
Thousands of them lined up, starting from Queen's Pier and marching through the streets and alleys towards the police headquarters.
They created such a large formation and surrounded the headquarters, as if they were trying to force the Commissioner of Police into submission.
Because since the ICAC launched its anti-corruption campaign, Shi Lirong has never commented on their actions.
Since Shi Lirong did not express his opinion, it meant that he acquiesced in Lianji's actions and would not actively interfere in their work.
As the six major police stations in Kowloon were defeated one by one by Integrity Kee, they finally gave up any illusions about revenge.
They cannot just sit back and wait for death. They must take effective self-rescue actions to fight against the encirclement and suppression from Lianji.
Today's demonstration is just the beginning.
More than 5,000 police officers sat on the ground, and Zhong Nanqiang kept calming their emotions and calling on them to wait patiently for the outcome of the negotiations.
Although the weather today is cloudy and the temperature is not too hot, waiting for the unknown moment is very painful.
Five representatives went into the headquarters building to negotiate with Shi Lirong, but there was still no news, and many people began to become impatient.
Zhong Nanqiang stood on the stone steps, holding a loudspeaker in his hand, "Everyone, please allow me to sing a song to express my mood at the moment."
Everyone looked at him and wondered what song he was singing at this moment. Was it to boost morale?
Zhong Nanqiang continued, "This was written by an old colleague of ours. I think he was very sympathetic to the difficulties we are facing today, so he wrote this song."
He paused and said, "I want to sing it here for everyone to hear and see if they can have the same experience as me."
Lu Dongjie held the little girl's hand and paused, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
He had a hunch that the old colleague Zhong Nanqiang mentioned was most likely referring to him.
I just don't know what tricks he will use.
Zhong Nanqiang straightened his body, stood at the front of the crowd, held a loudspeaker, and sang a cappella loudly:
People are spinning helplessly in the storm
Like sand in the wind, even if you are tired, you have to turn around
Helpless rush, helpless twists and turns
The once warm face gradually lacks warmth
Hey yo hum hey yo? Flying sand wind transfers
.......
Although his singing wasn't very good, his hoarse voice was full of emotion and conveyed his sadness.
People are spinning around helplessly in the storm. Just the beginning of this sentence? It sings about the various aspects of life.
In such an environment, everyone is in the same boat, and it is easy to empathize and find emotional resonance.
Zhong Chuhong covered her mouth, feeling incredible.
She turned back and asked blankly: "Isn't this the song from our drama? How could they do this?"
Lu Dongjie moved the corners of his mouth. At this moment, he indeed felt ridiculous and ridiculous.
This song was a short interlude he performed in the "Witness Protection Team"? I didn't expect that this guy would take advantage of this situation.
This was originally a theme song for the movie "My Days in the Underworld". It talks about Jiang's grudges and the lyrics are clearly written.
Lu Dongjie has already stayed out of the matter and has not participated in their struggle at all? Just wait and see how things develop.
But being messed up by Zhong Nanqiang like this? He was dragged into it again. Now it would be difficult to clean up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Once this song spreads, the outside world will definitely be suspicious? He himself supports Jingcha's operation.
Lu Dongjie gently stroked her hair and smiled, "It's okay. They make their own decisions and have nothing to do with me."
Zhong Chuhong stopped talking and buried her head in his chest.
There was still a trace of worry in her heart, fearing that her man would be involved and be affected by this incident.
Zhong Nanqiang took the lead, and other police officers sang along, and the momentum gradually expanded.
Everyone doesn't care whether they sing well or not, they just sing loudly, which can relieve the tension in their hearts and at the same time find something that shares the same hatred and hatred in the singing.
Love is in the storm, it is difficult to plan in advance
People are washed away by the wind and waves, and the gathering may be short-lived
In fact, the wind is empty, and it keeps cutting helplessly
How much kindness has been buried, how much resentment is left
Hey yo hum hey yo, the flying sand wind is turning
.......
Although a group of policemen sang very heroic songs, they gradually felt helpless and desolate without realizing it.
They really put themselves into it and sang out the feelings of people who are in the arena and can't help themselves.
At the beginning of this song, I just felt it was very ordinary. The more I sang it, the more I felt it was full of helplessness and vicissitudes of life.
The more they sang, the more immersed they became, and the more they could feel the lyrics, which seemed to be written entirely for them.
Although the foreign police officers didn't understand, it didn't stop them from singing along, "Hey yo hum hey yo..."
The reporters on the sidelines couldn't help but feel so moved that they all joined the "Jingcha Chorus" and sang a song.
This heroic and sad song echoed in the Jingcha headquarters, giving people a tragic feeling of being besieged on all sides.
People at the headquarters were shocked and suspicious, and they all poked their heads out of the windows to find out what was going on.
They were also afraid that the group of police officers who were sitting in the sit-in would lose control and rush in to cause trouble.
But no, they stayed where they were, and Zhong Nanqiang kept leading them in singing that tragic song:
As the years pass by, I realize that the wind is turning
It's all about being greedy and not making the final decision
Now, against the wind, we are galloping far away
Regain inner truth and smash through the wind
Hey, hey, hey, the wind keeps blowing me
........
With tears in their eyes, a group of policemen sang repeatedly at the top of their lungs, as if they were telling their helpless experiences in life through their singing.
In such a social environment, who is not flying sand in the wind, doing things involuntarily in order to survive.
Some viewers watching the TV news could not help but burst into tears and felt a little sympathy for them.
They never imagined that one day they would be moved by a group of police officers singing songs. It was really ridiculous.
At 11:30 in the morning, the five representatives finally walked out of the building slowly, their faces relaxed.
Many people couldn't help but stood up nervously, as if their fate was about to be judged.
Detective Inspector Guo Huogen held a loudspeaker and spoke: "When we were negotiating with the director above, we heard your heroic singing, which made us feel a united force of support."
Everyone applauded, for themselves and for them.
Guo Huogen pressed his hand down, "After several minutes of discussion, we and the director finally reached three agreements."
First, the Commissioner of Police agreed to establish the "Junior and Junior Police Officers Association".
Secondly, police officers must avoid being "prepared for raw pork" and "pleased with coffee" by the ICAC. Any police officer invited by the ICAC to assist in an investigation must be accompanied by a member of the Criminal Investigation Department or a senior police officer.
requirements,
Third, the Commissioner of Police will work hard to obtain legal aid qualifications for officers at the rank and file and will respond shortly.
Every time Guo Huogen reads out a negotiation result, warm applause and cheers will erupt from the scene.
As for the nine demands put forward by the recent "Anti-Persecution Conference", the Commissioner of Police promised to respond within a short period of time.
The crowd at the scene began to run loudly, cheer and applaud, and even hugged each other to express their excitement.
Although not all requests were agreed to, at least Shi Lirong responded, which was a good start.
At 11 a.m., the crowd left one after another.
"Quick, quick, keep up."
A Jiashi TV news reporter who had been stationed at the ICAC early in the morning saw this group of uninvited guests and asked the photographer to follow them.
When more than a hundred big men walked to Hutchison Building, they waited for six elevators and went up to the enforcement office of the ICAC headquarters on the seventh floor.
There was a foreign official in the ICAC who saw the menace of their group and refused to let them in.
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: It’s tied to him!
The crowd was furious at this, and several people rushed in front of him, pulling the man into the crowd. A round of fists and kicks ensued, leading to a fight.
In the ICAC office building, there were seven or eight other foreign men. Seeing this, they rushed forward and started a fierce fight with the group of big men.
