In 1976, the chief detective who ate both black and white in Hong Kong was wanted and embezzled 500 million, what was the final outcome.
By the time the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption issued a formal arrest warrant, the subject of the investigation had already left Hong Kong. The "500 million detective" who once spanned both black and white took advantage of his position to make crazy money, and his life in his later years exceeded people's imagination.
What kind of legendary life does this black and white storyteller have, and how will he deal with himself after being wanted?
1
In the 60s of the last century, Hong Kong was the world of the British colonizers, and it was also the world of Lu Le, the chief Chinese inspector of the police force.
At that time, Hong Kong's law and order work was very special, and foreigners controlled the power of law and order, but they could not communicate directly with the public. Therefore, the presence of Chinese inspectors is particularly important when carrying out work.
The three boundaries of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, are divided into three police districts, each with a chief inspector and a number of inspectors, who are responsible for dealing directly with actual public order problems.
To put it simply, the Chinese detective is actually a bridge between the low-level people and foreign police officers in judicial work.
With foreigners in charge of management, the social status of the Chinese detective is not high. However, they are not in high positions but have great power, and Lu Le is a good example.
In the 50s of the last century, he became the chief inspector of the New Territories and was highly used by police administrators.
The reason why an ordinary police officer without any family background was able to rise so quickly was because he had an inexplicable relationship with the Hong Kong underworld.
He is very familiar with the gangsters, whether it is New Ngee An or 14K, he has a lot of experience dealing with them.
He knew that in the mixed territory of Hong Kong, whether it was their foreigner thugs or the overbearing gangsters in the gangsters, there was actually only one pursuit, that is, to eat together.
In a colonial society, wealth and population basically follow the 28 principle, or even more exaggerated distribution principle. People at the top of the pyramid can live a life of luxury and indulgence, but more than 80% of the people at the bottom have to hesitate to eat a bowl of noodles for a long time.
It's not easy for anyone, this point, Lu Le, who climbed up from the bottom, knows it very well.
He didn't want to make it too difficult for the gangsters and kill them, and of course he didn't want to lose his job because he couldn't make a difference, so he came up with an idea to make three chapters with the gangsters.
In the area he inspects, as long as the gang can ensure that his social activities do not cross the line and do not break the rules, then he can naturally open one eye and close one eye.
With the three chapters of the law, his efficiency in dealing with various social conflicts has been greatly improved. The boss of the gang organization is willing to sell his face and try to cooperate with his work, then the problem will naturally be solved.
Network resources, which is also the embodiment of ability. Talents like Lu Le, of course, foreigners will reuse them.
Looking at Lu Le, who was outstanding and beautiful, who would have thought that when he joined the police force in 1940, his dream was just to fill his stomach.
In the late 50s, he was promoted to Chief Inspector General of Hong Kong and Kowloon, directing the entire Hong Kong criminal investigation department. The appointment and dismissal of personnel, the development of public order work in the police district, and the intensity of the crackdown on gangsters all require him to personally take care of them.
The power in his hands is increasing, which for him represents more and more wealth that can be reined in.
His superiors were very satisfied with his performance, as the frequency of various law and order cases in Hong Kong gradually decreased under his rule. Although the existence of gangsters is unavoidable, the good thing is that most people keep to themselves and do not do anything beyond the norm.
Occasionally, someone tries to challenge the bottom line of the police force, but Lu Le can also solve the problem neatly and neatly without causing trouble to the police administrators.
He has both the resources of the white path and the connections of the underworld in his hands, so he has naturally become a big man who eats both black and white. No matter what the situation, he can find the most suitable solution.
After being promoted, he gradually grew into a real black and white talker. He has to set the rules of Hong Kong society. The leader of the underworld and the police commissioner of the white road have to look at his face.
Perhaps for the rest of his life, he will never forget this time when he stood at the peak of his life.
As a talker, how did he stabilize his position?

In 1976, Hong Kong's black and white storytellers started a 34-year wanted career, embezzling 500 million, what happened in the end.
Why can Inspector Lu Le be the one who makes the rules?
Overall, he is a very good person at leveraging and integrating resources. Bai Dao's identity gives him enough negotiating authority in the underworld. The connections of the underworld give him absolute business ability in the white way.
After establishing a good relationship with the four major families of Xinyi'an, 14K, Yiqun, and Shenghe, the identity of Inspector Zonghua has become a promise he can give.
In Hong Kong, under his management, the police and gangsters can get along peacefully, and the well water does not interfere with the river water. Of course, the premise is that everyone has to recognize their own identity.
The ugly words are said in the front, and if there is any case after that, there is no need for Lu Leduo to say, the gang bosses have to obediently cooperate with the police investigation, because they violated the agreement between black and white.
So when he later recalled the past, Lu Le also said that he never had to arrest or beat people with his own hands, and sometimes he didn't even need to come forward in person. All he had to do was make a phone call, and the boss would find out the matter internally, and the offender would be sent to him.
Of course, he couldn't do it for the gang organization without asking for anything in return. The leaders have a clear view of the social situation and will always consciously "pay tribute" to Lu Le.
When he got the money, he first kept a large share, and then distributed the rest to the three police district detectives under his hand, and divided it layer by layer, and everyone had a share.
In those days, there were almost no police officers who were not corrupt. Under the maintenance of money, a delicate balance can be maintained between black and white.
To put it simply, the police don't want to see the gangster industry, which is like a cash cow, be completely investigated and punished, and the gangsters don't want to see the police who have broken through the joints step down.
Although black and white have changed from opposition to symbiosis, although this has led to a high tilt of social resources, it is strange that it has also created a more stable living environment for the people at the bottom.
That's why some people say that the era of the four major Chinese inspectors headed by Lu Le, Han Sen, Lan Gang, and Yan Xiong standing side by side was the most stable and prosperous era in Hong Kong society in the past.
Treating people in the underworld, Lu Le will not be polite, and he will never be soft on punishment. He is also unapologetic about his immediate boss.
Once, when a new foreign police commissioner took office, he established his authority in front of them, but he did not pay a special visit to Lu Le in private. This made Lu Le very dissatisfied in his heart, and he felt that his personal status and authority were ignored.
Although the police commissioner is the superior, and the status of the foreign police commissioner is higher, no matter how high he is, he can't get higher than Lu Le, who has real power. This truth is that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.
Since the other party doesn't know what to do and doesn't come to visit, then he has to use practical actions to let the new police commissioner see how powerful.
In the course of the next work, he deliberately relaxed his efforts, whether it was patrolling or investigating the case, his attitude was very perfunctory. The gang only looked at his face, and without him coming forward, the group of people who were not afraid of heaven and earth became even more rampant, repeatedly making trouble for the police.
The police commissioner, who was still in a good tone, finally knew what it meant to "have to bow his head". He personally went to "visit" Lu Le, and his attitude was extremely sincere, which made Lu Le satisfied.
With this experience, Hong Kong's public order work will of course be restored.
Media reporters who have grasped the trend of public opinion also have a very good impression of Lu Le, the chief inspector of the general China.
A photographer recalled that before Lu Le took office, every time he encountered a homicide, the reporter had to stand forward with his head broken, just to be able to take first-hand information of the scene under the pressure of the police.
After Lu Le took office, their situation improved significantly. In the event of a homicide, as long as he led the team, he would order his subordinates to take the reporters to a nearby tea restaurant to drink tea and wait for a while.
After the on-site investigation is completed, he will send a special person to be interviewed by reporters to clearly explain the case information that can be disclosed to the public. Whether it is him or an ordinary policeman, everyone's attitude towards the media is very polite.
Because of this, many journalists are very nostalgic for the era of the four detectives and the working years when they reported on the cases investigated by Lu Le.
In 1968, 48-year-old Lu Le decided to retire early at the peak of his life. To be honest, a lot of people around him couldn't understand his decision.
Only those who know him know that the sky in Hong Kong is about to change, and Lu Le, who has not amassed much money for so many years, is about to run away.
Will his embezzlement of money and acceptance of bribes be revealed?

In 1976, a wanted warrant was issued, but the chief detective who took all the black and white and embezzled 500 million yuan escaped for 34 years.
Lu Le at his peak chose to retire early, what will happen to his life after that?
In fact, when he decided to retire in 1968, Lu Le had already heard the rumors that Hong Kong was going to establish an Independent Commission Against Corruption. If this institution is established, then he will definitely bear the brunt of the punishment and be punished.
In the past ten years, he has used a variety of methods to collect money, including dividends from gangsters, "filial piety money" from subordinates, and a steady stream of bribes from businessmen and other social groups.
It is said that Lin Lin finally calculated that the amount of his embezzlement has reached 500 million. In comparison, the chief inspector's salary can only be regarded as three melons and two dates.
The name of "Inspector 500 million" also comes from this. However, even the "three melons and two dates" are the unattainable income and wealth of ordinary people.
Knowing that he was a corrupt element, he certainly could not wait for the Independent Commission Against Corruption to be established and wait for someone to put the handcuffs on his hands. Thirty-six plans, go for the upper plan.
Before leaving, he also bought a number of properties in the name of his parents in many areas such as Mid-Levels in Hong Kong, with a total value of about 3 million Hong Kong dollars.
This is the way back he left for himself, even if he has no income from other channels in the future, he and his family can only rely on rent collection, and he and his family can eat and wear without worry.
After leaving Hong Kong, he fled with his family to Canada, where he lived there for a while. But Canada and Hong Kong belong to the same federal system, which means that he may be asked to go back by Hong Kong at any time.
After the official establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, as long as he dares to go back, he is afraid that he will not be able to deliberately lose fresh air in his life. So, he had to drag people to open the door to Taiwan and settle in Taiwan.
In 1976, Hong Kong officially issued a wanted warrant for Lu Le, but because he was in Taiwan, the police had no way to enforce the law across the border, so he was able to continue to be at large.
However, according to those who have seen him, the actual life of Lu Le's family is not as extravagant and wasteful as outsiders imagine.
A man named Zheng Xiulang once helped Lu Le's family repair water and electricity. In his impression, the decoration of the Lu family is simple and simple, there are no luxurious objects, and it looks no different from ordinary people.
Without knowing Lu Le's background, he couldn't see that this was a chief inspector who had been dominant in Hong Kong in the past. He and his wife were very polite to outsiders, mild-tempered and sometimes polite.
Coincidentally, a police officer surnamed Hong in the area where Lu Le lived at that time also mentioned that he couldn't see Lu Le's identity at all. When he's away from home, he's very low-key.
Although in the eyes of strangers, he is an ordinary market man, but in the eyes of those who know him, his style is still the same.
He treats people in a measured manner, and when he sees acquaintances coming to say hello, he will respond with the style of the former chief detective.
With a simple and unpretentious daily life, he would spend 30,000 or 40,000 Taiwan dollars a day when entertaining guests. He usually regards mahjong as his biggest pastime, and he will also talk about it when he meets a group of old detectives.
Overall, his later years were low-key, and after a leg injury, he lived in a simple house.
It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of the 21st century, he went to Canada from Taiwan. Probably because at this time, Hong Kong was already Hong Kong that had returned to China, and it did not belong to the same system as Canada.
The wanted warrant still exists, but no one can enforce the law across borders. Until Lu Le's death in 2010, this wanted warrant was still in effect.
From 1976, he was wanted for a full 34 years. However, he took advantage of the loopholes in the law and system, and finally enjoyed his old age in peace.
The ups and downs of Lu Le's life are closely related to the development and changes of the times. He made his fortune in a special era, and the Chinese detective was needed as an intermediary between foreigners and the public, and the Chinese detective was also needed to coordinate between the underworld and the white way.
It is not a black-and-white society, and Lu Le, who is regarded as a person who talks about black and white, is also not a person with a single tone. He is three-dimensional and multifaceted.
Human trafficking, drug dealing, gambling and smuggling, his shadow is indispensable in these things. But because of his existence, many people in Hong Kong have been given a chance to survive.
Inspector 500 million, a generation of legendary figures, is right and evil, and future generations have their own comments.
