500 million detective

”Lu Le has passed away and was buried in Vancouver, Canada on May 13, 2010. The day before yesterday, our reporter went to the funeral cemetery to interview and found that the wreath outside the auditorium was inscribed with elegiac couplets such as "Mr. Lu Le forever" and the photos of the memorial hall, which are believed to be the photos of Lu Le taken in the 1970s. According to the information, before being wanted by the Hong Kong ICAC, LV Le once moved to Canada with her family. Later, she was afraid of being extradited to Hong Kong. She fled with her wife to settle in Taiwan, where there was no extradition agreement with Hong Kong. Most of her children stayed in Vancouver. Whether Lu Le's body was sent to Canada for funeral in Taiwan or died in Canada has not been confirmed. Lu Le is still on the ICAC's wanted list. The ICAC said that the death of Lu Le could not be confirmed for the time being. It would take time to seek confirmation from the relevant parties and would consult the Department of justice on how to follow up the case. It is reported that if LV Le is finally confirmed dead, the ICAC's wanted order issued to him since 1976 will be terminated.

A life of sin

In the 1960s, pornography, gambling and drugs were rampant in Hong Kong. Lu Le, who served as the chief inspector of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, was in black and white, covering the sky with only one hand. Known as "brother LAK", he served as a police officer in 1940. In the 1960s, he joined forces with Yan Xiong, Hansen and LAN Gang as "four great Chinese detectives" in Hong Kong, colluding with gangs to collect huge bribes. Lu Le is recognized as the first of the four. The corruption cases of the four detectives were exposed by the colonial government in the 1960s. The ICAC was set up by the former governor of Hong Kong, Mr MacLehose, in 1974 to curb the growing corruption in the police force. This well-known "tiger fighting" action has led to panic in the police force and even conflicts between the police and the honest. After that, MacLehose issued an amnesty order not to pursue most of the corruption cases before 1977, which calmed down the police riot. However, the ICAC has never given up on the pursuit of Lu le and other four people. In 1968, because of the strong anti-corruption voice at that time, LV Le decided to "retire bravely" ahead of time. At the age of 48, she retired early and lived a carefree life by collecting rent and saving. In 1973, before the establishment of the ICAC, LV lecan, together with his eight children and wife, emigrated to Canada to escape arrest.

Canada was the country where many former Hong Kong police officers involved in corruption chose to immigrate. According to a report exposed by the Canadian police in 1999, at least 44 former Hong Kong police officers and their families who were pursued by the ICAC in the 1970s migrated to Vancouver and Toronto. According to the report, Lu Le arrived in Vancouver in the mid-1970s, settled his family and fled to Taiwan.

In 2004, when Lu Le, 84, was interviewed by a magazine in Taiwan, he was asked if he would return to Hong Kong. He said frankly that he had no friends in Hong Kong, and all he knew were in Taiwan, including Zeng Qirong, the father of Hong Kong artist Zeng Zhiwei, who was also a Chinese detective absconding from Taiwan.

Lu Le's legendary life was adapted into the film "Legend of Ralo", with Hong Kong artist Andy Lau as the leading actor.

Before he left Hong Kong, it was said that his fortune had reached 500 million yuan. According to the data, the frozen assets of LV ledan in Hong Kong in the 1980s were worth nearly $100 million, including eight units in Tsim Sha Tsui and mid levels, and more than $8 million in cash.

Detective Yan Xiong was once LV Le's valet

In the movie "500 million detective Ralph", Yan Xiong and LV Leping sit up and down, but LV Le is very dissatisfied. There are three reasons

1. Andy Lau made a complete film, but never went to Taiwan to meet Lu Le himself.

2. In the film, Yan Xiong is put in the position of sitting up with LV Leping. LV Le thinks that it is against the facts.

3. In the play, Ralo collects protection money from the peddler on the street, which LV Le thinks is a slander to him. How can the police charge like this? It's almost like a beggar. As for what to do, he closed his eyes and shut his mouth.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the areas of Tsim Sha Tsui and Yau Ma Tei at that time were also on the edge of Kowloon, where many shantytowns were concentrated. As a result, they became the focus of competition among the underworld forces. From Chief Superintendent Gerber to detective sidahua, they all had close ties with this area, and Yan Xiong was the local leader in this area. Yan Xiong's last job was inspector of Yau Ma Tei police station. Hansen had been working in Yau Ma Tei until he was promoted to inspector of Yau Ma Tei. Later, he was transferred to Mong Kok police station as inspector. It is for this reason that the ICAC focused on this area at that time, especially the Yau Ma Tei area.

In 1976, hundreds of senior police officers were arrested in corruption cases within the ICAC, but only a few hundred were arrested. One of the biggest Gang corruption cases involved 18 police officers. After the case was solved, it caused great repercussions in Hong Kong society. At the same time, it also caused great panic within the police force. It seems lucky for those who have retired and retired to escape, but in fact, they are deprived of their pension and wanted for a long time. They can only live in a foreign land in anonymity. Some of them can't speak English and can't go back. They can only live in darkness. What's more, while the ICAC wanted them, their property was frozen, even if some of their property was used in other places, because they didn't know the local laws very well, so they lived in fear.

At that time, Yan Xiong, a police inspector in Yau Ma Tei, fled ahead of schedule. However, he was wanted by the ICAC on January 24, 1977 and settled in Thailand.

Yan Xiong, the most well-known character in the movie "the story of Raleigh", in which Andy Lau had to offer him tea and make amends. Even when he was bullied by him when he was a little policeman, he was still his number one opponent after he was promoted to detective. But in real life, Yan Xiong is at the bottom of the four detectives. Lu Le is most dissatisfied with Yan Xiong's part of the film. In the film, Yan Xiong has performed the growth history of Leiluo from high to equal with him. In his life, Lu Le looks down on Yan Xiong very much. In his eyes, Yan Xiong is just his valet, who "eats" with him. It is more realistic to really get along with him like the lard played by Wu Mengda.

Lu Le, one of the top four detectives, talked about the past and said that Yan Xiong was only under his command and could not be compared with him at all. At that time, he did not want to do it, so it was Yan Xiong's turn to be promoted to inspector. Lu Le said: "he always followed me before. However, he is quite capable, because Yan Xiong is the only one in Hong Kong who can make sure of the people in the Kowloon Walled City. He has a good face in the Chaozhou gang. "

Yan Xiong also has his strength. Lu Le once said that Yan Xiong is very powerful in Jiulong city village in the three no matter areas. The interests of all parties in Jiulong City Village depend on Yan Xiong. Only he has such strength. Although he was despised by LV Le, he also thought that Yan Xiong had some face in the Chaozhou Gang, which was an affirmation of him. Yan Xiong is not only LV Le's valet, but also the original detective position of Yaumati police station belongs to LV le. After LV Le gave up this position, Yan Xiong took over. This is the highest position in Yan Xiong's life.

Looking back, Yan Xiong's highest position was not wanted by others, but he took over it. He was also the only one of the four detectives who had never been the chief inspector, so he was the last one among the four detectives. That's why in the movie, Yan Xiong and LV Leping sit up and down, and LV le will feel dissatisfied. Among the four detectives, Hansen is promoted by him, while Yan Xiong is mixed up with him. These two are not the most attractive characters of LV le. In LV Le's eyes, the only one who can share the same interests with him is inspector general Hua of Kowloon, LAN gang.

According to Lu Le, Yan Xiong, who now lives in Thailand, sometimes comes to Taiwan to talk to him about the past.
