Chapter 39 Police Commissioner Lu Minghua

"In 1972, Britain and the United States signed an extradition treaty, which stipulates that each other extraditions anyone who commits crimes in the other's territory, including their own nationals, who are found in their own territory."

“At the same time, according to the ‘principle of nationality jurisdiction’ or ‘principle of personality’ in international law, the state has the right to govern all persons with their own nationality without regard to their residence at home or abroad. This means that if the perpetrator is a citizen of his or her nationality, the state can govern.”

"And I am a citizen of the United States of America." Yuji Takahashi emphasized again: "So I will not answer any of your questions. You have evidence to directly accuse me of first-degree murder. I will not appeal, but I will not plead guilty."

Grass, you can do this! Liao Zhizong widened his eyes. He was a rude man who came up from the grassroots level. He didn't know any international law, extradition treaties, etc., but what this guy said was probably true.

However, Liao Zhizong really couldn't stand the arrogant look of this guy, so he walked over and lifted Takahashi Yuji and his chair together, punched him in the stomach, and scolded: "Damn your mother, I'm still treating prisoners preferentially in accordance with the Geneva Convention!"

Liao Zhizong's punch hit his stomach, and he curled up his body in pain, and he also had some dry retching...

Raymond outside the door was also a little confused, looked around and said, "And what he said?"

As for Liao Zhizong's beating, Raymond pretended that he didn't see it.

"There is such a statement, and there are provisions in the United States that can exercise criminal jurisdiction based on the principle of territorial jurisdiction and not punish the criminal acts of their own people in foreign countries. Therefore, Yuji Takahashi is likely to be extradited back to the country and acquitted." The speaker was Fang Weilun, deputy director of the Wan Chai Police Department. He saw everyone's puzzled eyes and explained: "I once handled a similar case."

Everyone suddenly realized, Raymond thought for a while and said, "Since Yuji Takahashi refused to admit the facts of the crime, he could not produce a strong absenteeism. There was so much evidence, and he could only use extradition to prove that he was the murderer."

"The Director said it is right. Yuji Takahashi is the murderer." Zheng Qiang immediately responded, Raymond nodded with satisfaction. Uncle Piao was dissatisfied because Zheng Qiang stole his words.

"No need to be tried, just sue him directly. As for the others, all the others will be handed over to the diplomatic department." After Raymond said this, he signaled Zheng Qiang to follow, and then turned around and left. Uncle Piao was even more dissatisfied because Zheng Qiang stole his position...

In the Director's office, Raymond sat there thinking for a while, and then called a phone number. This time the person answered the phone was Secretary Chen, but Secretary Chen told Raymond very sorry that the Director was having a meeting.

When Secretary Chen asked if there was any important matter, Raymond said: "Secretary Chen, if the Director has finished the meeting, please tell me that I have important matters..."

Raymond pondered for a while and continued, "We have already caught the murderer who killed Takumoto. It is Yuji Takahashi, an American islander. He confessed to the crime he committed."

When Secretary Chen heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. The Seraph’s case involved a lot. Since the death of the island country was a famous merchant, the island country had sent letters to Great Britain three times to inquire about related matters. It is conceivable that the pressure from the Governor of Hong Kong was under.

Takumoto was the Japanese invader who occupied Hong Kong Island back then. Hong Kong Island was paying attention, especially the media had many complaints about the police force. This incident caused a lot of controversy. It was not right for the police force to solve the case, nor was it not right if it was not solved.

A few days ago, the Director of the Security Bureau and the Director reported to the Governor of Hong Kong on this matter. The Governor of Hong Kong did not comment and only said one thing. The Governor of Hong Kong will return to Great Britain in seven days. Can he see the murderer being arrested before returning to Great Britain? Otherwise, he would not know how to deal with the questioning of the diplomatic department.

Of course, it is said that the Governor of Hong Kong said in a joking tone, but who dares not take it seriously? This is also the origin of the five-day limit for the Director.

Secretary Chen said happily: "Congratulations to Director Lin for solving the major case again. Please wait, I will report to the Director immediately."

Walking to the thick conference room, Secretary Chen took a heavy breath, then gently pushed open the door and walked in.

An official from the Finance Department inside was making an enthusiastic statement, "The Hong Kong Island Police Force has more than 100 years of professional police experience and good planning foundation, coupled with rigorous rule of law and efficiency in handling cases, was praised by the outside world as the "best police force in Asia" in the 1960s and is recognized as one of the best police forces in the world."

"Today, the police force is extremely large, with about 30,000 regular personnel, about 5,000 auxiliary personnel, and about 5,000 internal staff and civilian personnel, a total of about 40,000 police forces."

"But with such a large team, I don't feel any sense of security at all. Not to mention the distance, just to say that the nearest thing is that the murder of the island businessman Takumoto Yu has not been successful, which has caused a very bad impact on international public opinion. Asian countries have begun to have doubts and negative attitudes about the security situation on Hong Kong Island, especially the island countries have sent letters to diplomatic departments three times in three days."

"So I don't think that increasing the budget can increase the case-solving rate. If possible, what else do the police team do? Once a bandit kidnapped the hostages, our Finance Department can just pay for redeeming the people directly. It can save some budget. The bandits' appetite is still very small, and they are moral."

As soon as he finished speaking, a low laughter rang out at the scene, and even the Governor of Hong Kong smiled a little.

However, there were only two people in the venue who didn't laugh, one was the director of the Security Bureau and the other was the director of the Police Department Lu Minghua.

The director of the Security Bureau glanced at Lu Minghua who was rubbing his eyebrows. He knew that the difficulties of his old friend, old comrade-in-arms, and old subordinates were all promoted from the grassroots police force, and solving cases was never achieved overnight.

Lu Minghua was also very worried and powerless. How could he solve the case be as simple as these people thought? I thought it was enough to just sit in the office and write and draw?

He once carefully analyzed that the killer's method in this case is very sophisticated and ruthless, with almost no clue, and there is not even a person who doubts it. How can I check it?

Lu Minghua conservatively estimated that not to mention five days, the police force could solve this difficult case in 50 days, which is very efficient. The reason why the five-day deadline was set is a political need, and it was also an explanation for the next explanation for the whole country.

But Lu Minghua is even more worried that the killer is Chinese. In this way, even if he catches the murderer, he, the first Chinese director of the police department, may be nailed to the pillar of shame, and the scolding can overwhelm his ancestors!
