They did not
day or two after the incident at the Cactus Apartment
House LAW Ming-tak told his employee LEUNG Ving-sang to
.hide, whereupon LEUNG left his home and went to his
friend CHAM Loi-fat's place in Nathan Road. He spent
the night there. In the same evening, several parties
of Police raided various places in Kowloon in search
for LEUNG, having earlier obtained LEUNG's nickname and identification from one of the injured persons
employed at the Cactus Apartment House. A party of
Police raided LEUNG's home in Tsuen Wan.
find him there. After speaking with his parents, they
took away one of LOUNG's photographs and left. At about
the same time, LAW Ming-tak's meat company was also
visited by the Police. As a result, LAW, and over 20
other persons including his wife, brother and employees
were arrested and taken to Wanchai Police Station for
enquiries. They were not detained. Some were released
unconditionally and others, including LAW, were released on police bail. All these persons were suspected by the
Police to be members of the 14K and some of them were
suspected to be fighters. Subsequent to LAW's release,
SZETO Wah, acting on behalf of LAW, had discussions with
LAU Cheong-wch.
On the following day LEUNG Wing-sang left CHAN Loi-fat
and went to Shatin to stay at the home of his friend
LEE Chi-lung. There he stayed until the day of his
arrest. Some days after he had gone to LEE's house,
CHAN Loi-fat visited LEUNG at LEE's house and told him
that LAW Ming-tak wanted to see him on a very serious
and urgent matter. As a result, a further meeting took
place in the same evening at the roadside near the fly-
over at Tsang Tai Uk, Shatin, between LEUNG, CHAN, LAW,
LEE and SZETO Wah. At that meeting LAW begged IE ING to "surrender" himself so that he (LAW) and his people would no longer be troubled by the Police. No agreement was reached, and a further meeting was arranged for the following day.
