Chapter 4, The Prodigal Son

When that call was returned, he answered it without showing any emotion, then turned the phone face down on the table

Brother Han, what time is it now? Have you finished your tasks?

Even by changing the subject, saying something like if assigned to the Linghai Branch's Chengnan Police Station, they would become colleagues, they revealed their location to the other party

Yang Qianli, Wang Wei, and the community police officer Ye Xingguo, who hurried back to the station, were sitting together discussing how to resolve the issue concerning the urban management assistant, Old Hu

This is not for us to decide

Therefore, whenever new personnel arrive, including newly assigned military transfer officials, most will be arranged to the police stations located farthest from the urban area

I also wish to work in an office at the municipal bureau, but unfortunately, the leadership considers my educational qualifications to be insufficient

"What is there to see in the conference room?" Yang Qianli turned around to ask

Yang Qianli did not expect that Han Xin, who had just been sent to the municipal bureau by Li Yijun, actually had such a "glorious history," and couldn't help but laugh.

By the time I finished the phone call and returned to the car, Li Yijun had already loaded several boxes of police uniforms onto the vehicle

Do you have his photo? I would like to see if it is the same person

Wherever you come from, you must return there. In the afternoon, you need to accompany me to the precinct to report in again

Wang Wei felt very embarrassed and quickly said, "Let's first talk about Old Hu's matter."

"The police uniform was issued on the day of reporting, so I can say I am quite lucky"

How quite good

Recalling Han Xin's plea in the conference room downstairs at around 4 a.m., Wang Wei leaned down and said: "Xiao Zhang, pull up the surveillance footage from the conference room."

If we are to speak of a shortage of personnel, which police station or which squad does not face such a shortage? The reason for this statement primarily lies in your military background. In recent years, as long as individuals transition from the military and are not of advanced age, they have almost all been assigned to the special patrol police team.

Han Xin feigned curiosity and asked: "What is possible?"

What kind of medicine did they take incorrectly, staying up late at night and running around aimlessly

Han Xin is not a complete novice who knows nothing, and he jokingly asked: "Are you mocking me for not understanding the business? Are you making fun of me for being brawny but simple-minded?"

Alright, right away

That young man, while being questioned, pretended to twirl his phone like a child twirling a pencil, discreetly dialed a number, and then quickly hung up

I know that his family originally lived in the area of the old Haitong Market. When he was six or seven years old, his parents divorced, and he was raised by his grandmother

Yang Qianli pointed at the large screen and said with a smile: "Do you see? He is not tying his shoelaces; he is clearly observing what is behind him."

Curious about those boys who were being so secretive and saying nothing, Wang Wei asked, "What happened next?"

Wang Wei said with a bitter smile: "After they finished playing cards, they didn't go home directly, but went to the barbecue restaurant next to the train station to eat skewers and drink, and kept drinking until after 3 o'clock. Then they saw Han Xin and found him suspicious, so they called me in the middle of the night."

Wang Wei stared intently at the large screen, murmuring: "It turns out that he was already being watched by Lao Qian and Lao Hu at the entrance of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau."

Seeing that Han Xin did not seem to be lying, Li Yijun suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for him: "Brother Han, if the sub-bureau really arranges it, you will likely be assigned to a township police station."

You were able to transition from the border defense forces without having to study hard for exams, thus transforming from a mere soldier into a formal police officer, indeed you were quite fortunate... Suddenly, Li Yijun recalled something.

He is taking pictures with his phone behind him, capturing Lao Qian and Lao Hu

What are you sending? This outfit was issued to me when I was in police academy. We, the police academy students, are relatively fortunate; at least we have something to wear for now. Those newcomers who came from regular universities are in a dire situation. They do not have police uniforms and can only shamelessly borrow from others. One person lends them pants, another lends them a jacket, and some end up with tops and bottoms that do not even match in color.

Li Yijun leaned forward to look at the sentry and asked, "Brother Han, is it possible to park here?"

With eyes observing all directions and ears listening to all sounds, his vigilance is quite high, indicating that he likely engaged in reconnaissance during his time in the military

Han Xin truly finds him annoying, so she simply raised her phone and walked to the opposite side of the booth

What happened next?

Compared to that drunkard Lao Hu, Ye Xingguo is more interested in the name Han Xin. Looking at the surveillance footage that the duty auxiliary police officer was instructed to retrieve, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It looks a bit similar; it should be the same person"

Upon arriving at the city bureau's entrance, Han Xin not only did not rush to get into the car, but instead held a plastic bag in one hand and began directing with gestures using the other hand

Turn it around, with a bit of direction, turn, turn, turn, add a little more, good, stop

Except for one technician and two female police officers, everyone else went to the town, leaving me alone in the urban area

Although Li Yijun said this, he secretly felt pleased in his heart

Yang Qianli let out a cold snort and, after some thought, helplessly said: "After I finish the shift handover, I will report to Director Li and ask him to help greet Secretary Zhou of the street committee."

Li Yijun thought he was still groggy from just waking up and had seen it wrong. Rubbing his eyes to confirm it was not an illusion, he turned around and asked, "Brother Han, the municipal bureau has issued you a police uniform!"

He was awarded a second-class merit. In the year he received the award, the local militia department was prepared to celebrate with drums and gongs to deliver the congratulatory notice, but at that time, his grandmother had already passed away, and there was no one at home, so ultimately the notice was not delivered.

Brother Han, how could I possibly make a joke at your expense? Moreover, the Special Patrol Unit is not a place that just anyone can join; only those like you, who have served in the military and possess good military qualities, are eligible to go.

Finally finding a sense of superiority, Li Yijun said proudly: "I am lucky, as I happened to join when the department was short-staffed. Among the more than ten new officers who came this year, I might have the best work arrangement."

"It's right behind you, didn't you see? Hurry up, don't dawdle."

While they were conversing, Han Xin's figure appeared again in the monitoring screen at the top left corner of the LCD display

You are quite something, this calls for a celebration, and you should treat us

Have all the new police officers gone to the townships

Old Ye was confused: "Did you not say that the incident occurred around 3 a.m.?"

Han Xin set up the phone navigation and gestured for him to sit opposite.

Han Xin

Old Ye found it amusing when Yang Qianli suddenly said: "Xiao Zhang, play back that segment at the entrance of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau."

Old Ye felt very gratified and, holding his teacup, sighed: "I had sought him many times before; he would hide as soon as he saw me. Later, when he was in the army, I even lent a hand. I was the one who handled the political review. When the officer in charge of receiving troops visited families, I also helped to speak well of him."

Hurry up and move, can't you see I am on the phone?

Brother Han, have you implemented your work? Are you staying at the municipal bureau?

I do not know

It seems that the military is indeed a great melting pot; having not learned well back home, one surprisingly emerges as a decent person in the military

Isn't this nonsense? I am from Linghai, where else can I go if not to the Linghai branch?

Moreover, there are five boxes of various sizes

I have heard that he performed well in the military

Unfortunately, he focused on the wrong person

Upon seeing this, Yang Qianli patted his subordinate's arm and said, "It must be someone conducting reconnaissance, Old Wang, you are certainly not wronged to have fallen into his hands"

Yang Qianli subconsciously asked, "Old Ye, do you really know this kid?"

How did we end up on the topic of treating guests? If I had known, I shouldn't have been so smug... Li Yijun quickly returned to the original topic: "Brother Han, there is actually another possibility."

It is already past 1 o'clock, hurry over here and come to the municipal bureau to pick me up

The Southern City Police Station, the second floor houses the police network integration big data command center

Why it is very likely to be assigned to the police station, and it is still a rural police station

One may not realize it at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it is truly astonishing

In the deep of winter, during the late hours of the night, there are hardly any people on the road, and even fewer vehicles. Han Xin, carrying a backpack, runs under the streetlight, which indeed appears quite suspicious. If the police were to discover this during their patrol, they would certainly stop and question him

Our Linghai Branch Bureau

It is ! ''

Aren't you quite impressive? Why didn't you stay at the municipal bureau... I thought you were a big shot, but it turns out you're just a bronze... Li Yijun wanted to laugh but couldn't help asking: "So do you know which department you'll be assigned to in the sub-bureau?"

What is there to be surprised about? They even provide work uniforms for those working at the factory. Didn't the sub-bureau provide you with any?

Old Ye, do you know him/her?

Police uniform

Li Yijun got out of the car and asked, "Brother Han, what are you moving?"

Although the Special Patrol Police Brigade is located in the urban area, it can hardly be considered a good unit. Their duties include checking tickets for commercial activities, guarding public events, and getting beaten up during group incidents. When encountering obstacles during their missions, they have to ask for help from the local police station to handle the situation.

His parents did not care for him, and his grandmother could not control him either. He was very mischievous and disobedient during his childhood. When he entered junior high school, he frequently skipped classes, almost getting expelled. Later, he failed to get into high school and paid to attend a vocational school. He fell in love early and even ran away from home with that girl, causing his grandmother endless worry.

Because this person in front of me only knows how to act cool and play mysterious, it is highly likely that they will be assigned to the Special Patrol Police Force.

Because the police station is the most arduous, the most exhausting, and the most understaffed, in the words of the leadership, it is the most challenging for personal development. Although the matters at the rural police station are not as numerous as those at the urban police station, the distance from the urban area is significant, and who would willingly go there under normal circumstances

Which unit were you assigned to?

Li Yijun really did not want to wait, but Han Xin's luggage was in the car, and it was uncertain whether they would need to return to Linghai after checking in. He could only recline the seat, lie in the car, and rest his eyes.

The security at the municipal bureau is very strict; not to mention private vehicles, even police cars not affiliated with the municipal bureau are not allowed to enter freely, and parking is prohibited at the entrance

He said that it does not matter whether there are nutrition fees or compensation for lost work, but his salary cannot be deducted during the rest period

There is no photo available, but you can view the surveillance footage.

Just stop for a moment, I have talked to them. Did you have dinner? Here is something I brought for you. But you have to wait a while before eating. Come down and help me move some things first.

What does Lao Hu mean?

I really don't know, do you?

Continue watching, pay attention to his right hand, pay attention to his mobile phone

Han Xin could only find a parking space nearby. After parking the car, he asked Li Yijun for his phone number, instructed Li Yijun to wait in the car, and then walked to the municipal bureau to report in.

Aren't you also a newcomer? How were you assigned to the urban police station

He wants us to help find the street leaders, saying that although he has been drinking, he was injured while helping us keep watch

Li Yijun honestly settled into the passenger seat, holding a lunch box and began to grumble.

Just barely graduated from vocational school, he studied something called office automation, which sounded great, but he couldn't find a good job, so he went to learn to drive. Just as he got his driver's license, he was called up for military service. His grandmother was worried that he might turn to a life of crime, so she made him join the army.

Yesterday was the birthday of Yan Lili, the director of Yanggang Community. They went to Director Yan's house for a meal and drinks. After eating and drinking, they were invited to play a card game called "Guandan," and they played until after midnight

Is there a shortage of personnel in the special patrol police team

Han Xin bent down to stuff a bag of boxed lunch into the passenger seat, and then immediately took out her phone to make a call

The municipal bureau is not far from here, will walking a few steps kill you? Do you really think you are a leader... Li Yijun muttered to himself, reluctantly adjusted his seat, fastened his seatbelt, and drove towards the municipal bureau.

A stinky kid who was thought to have no future actually became a police officer!

... ...

I did not expect that I would fall asleep in such a daze, and I slept all the way until I was awakened by a phone call from Han Xin

Watch the video, it's almost here ... ... Alright, stop

You may be assigned to the Special Patrol Unit

Wang Wei asked in confusion, "Yang, what happened?"

The call was quickly connected, and after chatting for a few moments with the other party, I dialed the second number again

Han Ge, why did you just report and already receive a police uniform? Not only did you receive one, but you received so many.

Wang Wei said with a hint of embarrassment, "I want to see how he asked for help right under my nose."

I really don't know
