Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 640: Hong Kong Island's No. 1 Sharpshooter

Watson came to court No. 3, which was close to the edge of the stadium. Logically, there should be only a few people in the audience seats, but at this moment there were more people than behind the first court, which was very abnormal.

The referee saw Watson approaching and immediately stepped forward and said, "Please hand over your gun. Next, you need to cross the obstacle, get the gun and shoot."

Watson looked at the referee meaningfully, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he took out the special firearm for the competition from the holster and handed it over.

The referee took the gun, turned and handed it to the staff on the side, and then took Watson to a starting point surrounded by transparent plastic sheeting.

"Players, get ready!" the referee announced loudly.

Watson took a deep breath, and all the muscles in his body tensed instantly.

Following the referee's command, he rushed out like an arrow, easily crossed several obstacles, and quickly came to the table where the guns were placed.

Just as he reached out to pick up the gun, Watson paused slightly and quickly retracted his right hand into his chest.

At this moment, he had already exchanged the gun on the table with the spare gun in the system space.

This kind of competition-specific firearm is not a prohibited item. It can be found everywhere on the market, but it can be purchased.

After Watson learned about the competition arrangements, he immediately asked Ji Shaoqun to secretly purchase several guns of the same model in case of emergency.

"No matter what you do to the guns, I won't give you a chance." Watson sneered in his heart.

His movements were extremely fast and stealthy.

Neither the referee nor the spectators noticed the sudden change.

Then, Watson quickly adjusted his posture, flexibly moved between obstacles, and shot accurately at the target.

Cai Yuanqi sat in the VIP seat with a frown on his face.

He originally planned to embarrass Watson in the competition by tampering with the gun, but Watson's performance surprised him.

He turned to look at his trusted subordinate beside him, with a hint of displeasure in his tone: "What's going on? Didn't you say it was foolproof?"

The subordinate's forehead was covered with sweat, and he explained in a low voice: "Sir Cai, I... I don't know what happened. The gun was clearly tampered with, but he..."

Cai Yuanqi snorted coldly, and turned his gaze back to the arena, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "It seems that we still underestimated him."

Li Yonglian, who was standing by, raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Mr. Cai, it seems that something unexpected happened in this scene."

Cai Yuanqi smiled slightly and said calmly: "Accidents are inevitable, but this does not affect the overall situation. Sometimes, using power to suppress others is also a good choice."

Li Yonglian followed Cai Yuanqi's gaze and looked at the justices and important members of the Legislative Council sitting around him, and immediately understood his intention.

Cai Yuanqi is flexing his muscles and showing his influence to everyone.

From the moment Cai Yuanqi saved Jiang Tiansheng and Chen Yao, he had been exposed to the sight of Li Wenbin and Huang Bingyao.

If it weren't for Watson, the "butterfly", Huang Bingyao might not have been so determined to join forces with Li Wenbin.

However, Watson's appearance changed everything.

Faced with the combination of Wong Bing-yao and Lee Man-bin, Tsai Yuan-qi chose to show his trump card directly - his connections in the Department of Justice and the Legislative Council were enough to restrict the actions of the police force.

Watson finished the third game easily, and the referee announced the result, and the audience burst into applause. However, before he could catch his breath, a group of reporters swarmed over, with their cameras pointed at him.

"Mr. Hua, how do you view your performance today?"

“Is it because the competition is less difficult that we were able to finish the competition so quickly?”

"Mr. Hua, your score is close to full marks now. Do you think you are the best marksman in Hong Kong Island?"

Faced with the reporters' barrage of questions, Watson's pupils shrank slightly and alarm bells rang in his heart.

He immediately realized that someone was manipulating public opinion behind the scenes and trying to destroy his reputation through "overpraising".

"The higher you praise someone, the harder they fall." Watson sneered in his heart but kept a calm smile on his face.

He cleared his throat and said calmly: "Thank you for your attention. Today's competition is just a demonstration of my daily training results as a police officer."

"As for the title of 'Hong Kong Island's best marksman', I don't deserve it. There are many excellent colleagues in the police force, and their abilities should not be underestimated."

After saying that, Watson politely pushed aside the reporter and walked towards the rest area.

Not long after, Peng Yixing also came to venue No. 3 and started the competition. He also completed the shooting smoothly without any mistakes.

But even so, the score gap between him and Watson not only narrowed, but widened.

Watson also understood at this time that if the other party wanted to praise him to death, then they would have to build momentum for him. In this case, he would use his strength that no one could question to add some more firewood to the fire!

As long as you don't fall, the other party's flattery will be a joke, and it will greatly enhance your reputation.

If you want to be promoted quickly and make others speechless, then reputation is very important.

Now Watson no longer wants to be a chess piece, but a chess player.

After Peng Yixing finished the competition, he looked at his score, walked to Watson's side, and said calmly: "If we just compare the shooting skills, I am not worse than you, but your physical fitness is far superior to mine, so your speed is much better than mine."

Watson smiled calmly: "What do you want to say? Do you want to say that we are gunmen and physical fitness is not important? Or do you think that a gunman only needs to be accurate in shooting?"

Peng Yixing heard the sarcasm in Watson's words and wanted to refute him, but he couldn't find any point to refute.

Watson continued, "For a gunner, marksmanship and physical skills are equally important. If he only has marksmanship but no physical skills and speed, then he is not a qualified gunner."

"Have you ever thought about why there are so many obstacles on the playing field?"

Watson said solemnly, "That's because, in a real gunfight, the situation and conditions on the scene will only be more complicated and cruel than this."

"Last year, when the West Kowloon Crime Squad raided the gangsters in the warehouse, many of the elite members of the Crime Squad were seriously injured because of the complex and changeable terrain at the scene."

"You probably haven't seen the terrain on the field. Compared to that, the terrain on this field is nothing but child's play. There is no comparison between the two."

At this point, Watson chuckled and said, "You practice shooting to become stronger, but we practice shooting to kill the enemy and save our lives. Only by killing the enemy can we save our lives."

"Don't use your hobby to compete with our life-and-death struggle!"

At this, Watson grinned.
