The prosperity of Hong Kong Island in the 1950s was comparable to that of Shanghai in the 1940s.
Night falls,
There are many shops along the street.
Selling herbal tea, porridge shops, tea restaurants, etc.
There are basically diners sitting inside and consuming.
Occasionally you can see police chasing hooligans on the road.
The population of Hong Kong Island in the past two years seems to have taken hormones.
It increased by more than one million in an instant.
When there are many people, there are many things to do.
Hong Kong Island has just been restored.
A lot of order is being reestablished.
The police force has not been restored.
I really can't take care of the new citizens.
The result is a black and white disorder.
Many people compare this era to Shanghai.
Because the two are so similar in some ways.
Shanghai at that time welcomed celebrities and wealthy people from all over the country.
Today, Hong Kong Island has received countless wealthy businessmen and celebrities who have fled south.
The wealth and talents contained therein have given this small fishing village great opportunities.
Lucas Gao looked at the night scene with a smile,
"Be a policeman? Be a thief?"
He murmured to himself,
"To be a tycoon, of course."
The minibus stopped at Canal Road in Wan Chai near the West Goose Neck Bridge.
Beyond this place is the sea.
It's still a long way to go before it becomes land.
But in later times,
This Gooseneck Bridge is a famous place for beating villains.
Just pay 50 yuan,
Grandma will help you beat the bad guys and drive away bad luck.
When he beat the villain, he would chant: "I'll beat your head until you're dead and breathless! I'll beat your feet until you're left with no shoes to walk with!"
Lucas Gao stood up and bowed.
"Master, congratulations on your prosperity."
The driver was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
"Get rich, get rich."
Although Lucas Gao was sweating profusely,
The spirit is good,
He walked down from the minibus and frowned slightly after only a few steps.
There were two people leaning against the railing on the Gooseneck Bridge not far away, smoking.
His name is Gao Jin.
A high guest,
This is a friend that Lucas Gao met after coming to Hong Kong Island.
We all have the same temperament.
And they all have the surname Gao.
It’s naturally fun to play.
Gao Jin and the others also saw Lucas Gao.
They hurried down the Gooseneck Bridge,
Running and shouting,
"Brother Yao, trouble has come."
"Guan Tai was detained by Dong Fuhe's people. They demanded 10,000 yuan, otherwise they would be killed."
Guan Tai's surname is Lei.
He was a boatman who was born and raised on a boat.
When I was 7 years old,
His father fell ill and died.
Because the family lost its mainstay,
Lei Mu alone can't support the boat.
Then he took the boat ashore,
I found a place to live in Wan Chai and started a new life.
This place is the West Gooseneck Bridge!
Last year, Lucas Gao came through and fell into the sea.
It was Dominic Lei and his mother who rescued him.
Later, Lucas Gao had nowhere to go.
I can't afford the rent.
So he shamelessly shared a room with Dominic Lei.
"Where's Aunt San?"
The third aunt is Lei Mu,
His original name was Liu San.
According to the customs of Hong Kong people at that time,
Her name is now Lei Liusan,
Lucas Gao and others have always respectfully called her Third Aunt.
Gao Jin said,
"Aunt San went to collect money."
The Lei family has lived in Hong Kong Island for three generations.
My ancestors were all Tanka people.
Relatives too.
These are the only people from whom Lei Liusan can borrow money.
Spencer Gao Airway,
"Dongfu and this bunch of idiots are relying on Liufu's prestige to commit crimes. Damn it, how could A-Tai mess with them?"
"Fcuk, I have to fight them."
The most powerful Chinese policeman in Hong Kong at that time was Yao Mu.
He is an expert at solving cases.
Deeply trusted by the ghosts,
This year, he was transferred to the newly established Anti-Corruption Agency to be responsible for anti-corruption.
in history,
In 1950, he would be promoted to Chief Chinese Detective, in charge of criminal investigation in Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories!
The subsequent Chief Chinese Inspector was all because Yao Mu had planted the phoenix tree.
That's why I can enjoy the cool breeze.
Below Yao Mu is Liu Fu.
How great is his influence?
for example,
It was at his initiative that the worship of Guan Gong in police stations became popular.
The Dongfuhe mentioned by Spencer Gao was a society founded by a group of coolies from Dongguan with the support of Liu Fu.
After this group of coolies had Liu Fu as their backer,
Then he began to run rampant.
They also expanded from competing for interests at Triangle Wharf to tobacco shops, gambling dens, brothels, etc.
"There's no use talking Bullsh!t."
Dongfuhe is not terrible.
The scary thing is Liu Fu behind it.
They have money and the support of the poor.
Gao must know that he can't afford to offend others.
He walked and thought,
A name suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Did Kwun Tai go to secondary school at Queen's College?"
Spencer Gao thought about it carefully.
"Yes, it is Queen's College."
Lucas Gao smiled.
Wong Yan College is a famous school in Hong Kong Island.
Many very powerful alumni have emerged from it.
For example, Sun Yat-sen, Liao Zhongkai, Ho Tung, Lee Hiu-shin, Stanley Ho, etc.
What a coincidence.
Lucas Gao remembers that there was a person who just graduated from Queen's College last year and joined the police force!
"Ah Jin, go find Aunt San and tell her I'll figure out a solution for this matter."
"Tell her not to worry."
Lucas Gao is equivalent to being a human being in the second generation.
And we came from the era of information explosion in later generations,
His knowledge far exceeds the present.
Since he came here,
In just a few days, he became the leader of this small group by relying on his eye recognition.
Now he speaks,
Gao Jin and Spencer Gao both breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll go."
Spencer Gao asked,
"Brother, what should I do?"
"Call Adrian Lei and see if he's in the room. If not, ask him where he might be, and then we'll go find him."
Adrian Lei is also a policeman.
He joined the police force in 1940.
Initially he was a police officer in the uniformed patrol squad.
Soon after, he was transferred to the position of detective.
Currently stationed in the police station,
He is somewhat related to Dominic Lei.
We had dinner together before.
At that time, Adrian Lei was just a minor character.
Lucas Gao didn't think he could handle Dongfu and this matter.
Even if it can be done,
It is also very easy to offend Liu Fu.
This may not be a good thing for Adrian Lei.
Lucas Gao, who always takes everything into consideration, would certainly not do things this way.
As they were talking, Lucas Gao and Spencer Gao had already walked to the grocery store.
This store opened in 1943.
It was opened by more than a dozen Lei family relatives.
The actual manager is Dominic Lei.
"Yes, brother."
The one guarding the store is Dominic Lei's wife Yanni.
She was holding her 3-year-old daughter Lei Liping's hand.
Lucas Gao smiled and comforted him,
"Sister-in-law, it's okay."
"Abin?"
Spencer Gao said quickly,
"Sister-in-law, can I borrow your phone?"
Even though Yanni's daughter is already 3 years old,
She is actually only 20 years old now.
Here we have to criticize the corrupt old system of Hong Kong Island.
It not only advocates early marriage but also supports polygamy.
Why,
Lucas Gao couldn't help but criticize this system every time he thought of it.
"Yes, brother."
Yanni still couldn't help but worry.
Her eyes were red.
Then he asked timidly,
"Is Artest really going to be okay?"
Lucas Gao smiled and picked up Li Ping.
"Atai is blessed with great fortune, so naturally, nothing will happen to him."
"Has my niece eaten it yet?"
"When dad comes back tonight, let's have a midnight snack together, okay?"
Liping said in a baby voice,
"Uncle, no. Mom said eating at night will cause your teeth to fall out."
"Don't eat it either. It will be very ugly."
