警長在地下賭檔被開槍斃命 到底是賭仔尋仇還是英勇殉職？ #奇案新談

Hello everyone, welcome to Kee On News, I am Wing-Yin. On March 2, 1978, an underground gambling house in Wong Chuk Street was robbed and robbed. A police officer was killed, becoming the only victim in the case. The case is even more complicated. Another police officer jumped off a building and committed suicide three days after the incident. Witnesses say that this police officer was also at the scene of the robbery. The truth behind the case is hard to tell. Some say it was a suicide, some say it was an accident, some say it was a hit-and-run, and some even say that it was caused by someone's self-indulgence. At the time, the police tracked down an important clue, but later found out that after a few years, a police investigator who was involved in the investigation kept the secret behind the police force in secret. Today, Kee On News will unravel the mystery of this case. Okay, without further ado, let's get to the point. The main character of today's story is Liu Zhangmu, the police chief of the Kowloon Headquarters at the time. At the age of 35, he was a member of the International Investigation Team. He was a hard-working police officer, optimistic and cheerful, but his weakness was that he was a gambler. He was a regular customer at the gambling house. On March 2, 1978, at four o'clock in the morning, Liu Zhangmu, from Class U, was out of luck, so he went to a underground gambling house in Wong Chuk Street, Sham Shui Po, to gamble. But this time he didn't expect to lose his life. On that day, when he was gambling, Tan Shek Tsang, who was nicknamed the Big Boss, opened the iron gate and wooden door of the gambling house with four accomplices. He entered the gambling house in front of the door and prepared to take action. Five gangsters, three of them with guns, one with a beef knife, one with a travel bag. After entering the gambling house, one of the gangsters opened a gun to the sky, and ordered everyone not to resist. He raised his hands and knelt down. The money on the table flowed like water. Everyone was fascinated, but the sound of the gunshot was very shocking. The scene was chaotic. Most people immediately knelt down after hearing the gunshot. Some gangsters took the opportunity to escape to the toilet. As for the police officer Liu Zhangmu, he was lying in front of the toilet. When the gangsters did not notice, he took out his gun and fired two shots at the gangsters. The gun hit the finger of the gunman He Zhizhou. He opened a shot and hit the wall 5-6 feet away from Liu Zhangmu. He Zhizhou opened two shots in a row and shot Liu Zhangmu in the head. Liu Zhangmu died on the spot. The police officer was killed. No one dared to resist at the scene. The gangsters finally took away the HK$18,000 on the table and took away Liu Zhangmu's gun. The gun was later discovered and placed on the roadside of Ashley, Jimshazui. After a month of investigation, the police first arrested 7 suspects in Hong Kong and Kowloon. Tan Sek Tsang is still on the run. Of the 7 suspects, two of them turned into police officers and were sentenced to death. The other 5 were convicted. As for He Zhizhou, who shot Liu Zhangmu to death, on 20 February 1979, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. This sentence is undoubtedly an account of society, but it is not the conclusion of this case. In addition to being on the run, Tan Sek Tsang was listed as one of the top 10 wanted criminals and was convicted of HK$10,000. In the end, on 17 August 1979, Tan Sek Tsang was arrested by the police at Tuen Mun. He was 28 years old at the time. Tan Sek Tsang was convicted of many crimes, including murder, robbery, possession of a gun and bullets, etc. He admitted to robbery and other crimes, but denied the murder of police officer Liu Zhangmu because Liu Zhangmu did not die under his gun. The jury believed that Tan Sek Tsang's target was Liu Zhangmu, but there were no witnesses at the time. In the end, it was unanimously decided that Tan Sek Tsang was convicted of murder and was sentenced to death. Later, Tan Sek Tsang was sentenced to life in prison by the Hong Kong Special Investigation Department. He studied hard in prison, read a lot of books, was regarded as an intellectual in prison, and was in charge of translation work. Because of his excellent performance, Tan Sek Tsang was released early on 8 August 2004 after 24 years in prison. Tan Sek Tsang later said that he was involved in robberies and murder cases. He had a close relationship with socially unstable friends after he was an adult. After being released from prison, he specialized in educational work for young people and reminded young people in the process of growing up to prevent all kinds of temptations around them. Theoretically speaking, the last suspect was arrested. The robbery and murder case of Wong Chuk Street should be considered an isolated case. But there are still mysteries behind the case that have not yet been solved. Some people think that the real purpose of the robbery may not be a robbery, but may have a personal grudge against Liu Zhangmou and attempted to kill him because only one person died in the case. Online data shows that Liu Zhangmou, who was 35 years old at the time, joined the police force in 1964 and worked as an investigation officer for the Interpol for a period of time. It is possible that he had an affair with someone. Some people also suspect that Chief Liu may be the guardian of this underground pawnshop. This sentence comes from the corruption culture of the Hong Kong police force in the 1960s and 1970s. At the time, the Hong Kong police reported the incident of Wang Chuk Street robbery. The situation of the police force was serious. The police were also ridiculed by the public as a gang of thugs. So it is not surprising that some people think so. Liu Zhangmou is a plainclothes police officer. According to his work record, he was in the police squad when the incident occurred. It is possible that he appeared in the pawnshop for no reason. Is it dangerous to go to the pawnshop? Of course, the police also suspected the purpose of Liu Zhangmou going to the underground pawnshop. It is not ruled out that it may involve some unfortunate events. However, after the police investigation, Liu Zhangmou did not quarrel with the owner of the pawnshop. He appeared on the scene purely for personal reasons. In addition, Liu Zhangmou's wife also provided an important clue. She said that Liu Zhangmou liked the underground pawnshop where he went to Wang Chuk Street from time to time. And a week before the incident, Liu Zhangmou won $40,000 there and bought a expensive watch worth more than $10,000. Liu Tai speculated that Liu Zhangmou wanted to win the fight before going to Wang Chuk Street to try his luck. But he lost his life. After the incident, the expensive watch in his hand was also missing. Later, the police found the watch when they were chasing the suspect. And the watch became a strong witness to this case. Is it possible that Liu Zhangmou won $40,000 after the incident? And the so-called robbery was just a cover-up? This speculation was later provided by the Chief of Police in action. At that time, Liu Zhangmou's funeral was held in the form of a police parade. Deputy Chief of Police Si Lai-wing also came to the scene to show the police that Liu Zhangmou was a hero and not a gambler. I don't know if anyone is curious about this. At that time, Liu Zhangmou only had one gun and five robbers had at least three guns. Why was Chief Liu so confident that he could kill three people with one gun? It turned out that there was another police officer in the underground gambling house that day. Three days after the incident, a police officer with Liu Zhangmou's team jumped off the building. This police officer is Liu Zhangmou's brother. The relationship between the two is very good. Later, according to the boss of the gambling house, on the day of the robbery, this police officer was at the scene of the incident. The police officer was shot in the same team. The brother jumped off the building three days later and said that there was no special connection between the two incidents. No one believed it. But the question is, why did the brother jump off the building? About this incident, a Hong Kong reporter talked to his colleagues more than ten years after the incident. He said that the police officer who jumped off the building actually left a note. And he clearly explained the cause and effect of the incident. Famous writer Sa So wrote in his article The Mysterious Case of the British and Royal Era. In order to uphold the reputation of the deceased, he waited until the police officer's mother passed away before telling the truth. It turned out that when the Royal Street Gambling House was robbed, in addition to Liu Zhangmou, the police officer was also at the scene of the crime. Like Liu Zhangmou, he went to the gambling house just to play two hands to reduce the pressure. When the bandit opened the first gun, everyone there was in a panic. Later, everyone was stopped by the bandit with a gun, and forced to put their hands on their heads and bow down. This posture made him feel very humiliated as a police officer. However, when the bandit began to rob, he saw Liu Zhangmou carefully circling around, and then blinded him. He judged that Liu Zhangmou was blinded, and decided that the two people could cooperate with each other before fighting the bandit. But he did not follow up because of hesitation. Liu Zhangmou did not expect that his brother, who was also a police officer, did not rush out to fight alongside him. During the fight, he kept bowing his head until the bandit left after robbing. Later, he quietly returned to the police station and hoped that nothing would happen to him. But he could not escape his conscience. He thought it was his own weakness that killed his brother. In the end, he chose to jump off the building to atone for his crime. As for whether this senior reporter's statement is true or not, it is still difficult to judge. After all, the title of the letter has not yet been released. But for the last moment of Liu Zhangmou's life, there is a very real description in the room. The content is roughly like this. When the police officer went out, the safety of the gun was already open. He shot the bandit's arm, which was holding the gun. At the same time, he was sobbing loudly. Kid, when I opened the gun, you were still wearing your uniform. Why didn't you surrender? In the end, another bandit's bullet hit Liu Zhangmou's head. But he still struggled to fire the second shot. Unfortunately, the bullet hit the ceiling. When it comes to illegal gambling, Liu Zhangmou's character can't be said to have no flaws. But compared to his brother-in-law, he has fulfilled his responsibility as a police officer. Many years after the crime, when everyone still thought that Liu Zhangmou was a hero, a detective who was involved in the investigation said that Liu Zhangmou's death was an accident. At that time, the police raised a question. At the time of the crime, there were more than 60 bandits in the gambling house. The bandit robbed 18,000 yuan. On average, each bandit said 300 yuan. The probability of robbery is really not high. Could it be that there is another reason? A senior media worker, Deng Yikun, wrote in the murder case file that Detective Sam said the Huangzhu Street case was likely caused by a needle. The needle mentioned here refers to a black social figure used by the police in the 60s and 70s. And what they want to do is to induce criminals to act according to the police's intentions. According to Sam, the case was originally a robbery by a senior police officer in the police force. The original plan was that after the bandits succeeded in robbing, the police immediately dispatched to kill the bandits and then solve the case. Sam said that in the 60s, he could say boldly that most cases are in this mode. The smoke inside is unimaginable. But the Huangzhu Street case has a lot less of this situation. Unfortunately, no one would have thought that there was a senior police officer among the bandits that day. What is even more unimaginable is that Detective Sam would stand up at the critical juncture, shoot the bullet, and fight back, resulting in the original robbery case becoming a murder case. This seems like a farce, but there is evidence. Sam said that the senior police officers who participated in this case actually left their posts. But the bullets were provided by the police. But due to various reasons and pressure, this clue did not continue to be investigated. As for who is behind the robbery case, Sam did not explain. If this case is really like what Sam said, then the truth will always be a mystery. After all, after so many years, that person may not be here anymore. Okay, that's it for this episode. See you in the next episode. Bye-bye.
