Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 191 New Police Officers Join the Forces
Late summer 08.

Haidong Province, Linjiang City, Shahe County.

This is a remote county town, surrounded by mountains on three sides and a 50-meter-wide sand river on the east.

The county town is called this way because of the name of the river.

The county town has a total population of 300,000 to 400,000. The largest source of income is the sand mining plants and stone quarries, which supply construction companies in Linjiang City and other cities and counties. The second largest source of income is collecting herbs or mountain products in the mountains, and every month there are foreign traders coming to buy them.

If young people in Shahe County do not go out to work, they only have these two ways to make a living besides farming.

At this time, a small white bus was driving along the main road of Shahe County towards the county bureau. Because the speed was too fast, a large cloud of dust was raised behind the car.

The dust floated in the air and was blown by the wind onto the crowd playing mahjong on the street. They cursed the bus for a while, then spat out the sand in their mouths with "Pah, pah".

Soon, the bus stopped in front of the county bureau.

Lu Kangming, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, had been waiting here with several of his subordinates.

A group of young people in uniform got off the bus, both men and women, seven in total.

These are the trainee police officers assigned to Shahe County this year, six of them are male and one is a female.

And most importantly, one of the seven is a forensic doctor and a criminal science technician.

Lu Kangming was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He had looked at the list and knew that these new police officers were all graduates of the Police Academy.

In recent years, the higher-ups have been planning to use these top students to replace the old recruits who transferred from the army in earlier years, in order to create a new era of police officers with high education, high quality and high skills.

Lu Kangming did not comment. Half of the police officers in the county bureau were retired police officers. They were like cattle, tough and obedient.

He didn't have much good feelings towards college students who had just graduated, but he liked the forensic doctors and technical police officers who came because they did delicate work. The guys in the bureau were fine at farming on weekdays, but they would be a bit at a loss when they encountered major criminal cases.

Seeing everyone present, Lu Kangming stepped forward and said, "Hello, I am the deputy director of Shahe County, Lu Kangming."

Seven trainee police officers stood in a row with their suitcases in front of them and saluted him.

"Hello, Director Lu. My name is Miao Shouqiang, and I'm a criminal technology officer."

"Hello, Director Lu. My name is Han Jinli, a forensic pathologist."

"Hello, Chief Lu. My name is Fang Yonghui, and I'm a trainee police officer."

……

"Hello, Director Lu. My name is Luo Rui, and I'm a trainee police officer."

Lu Kangming shook hands with them, especially Miao Shouqiang and Han Jinli. He looked at them again and again and felt very satisfied.

As for the other five, he just glanced at them.

Anyway, the county bureau only had a quota of three people, and Miao Shouqiang and Han Jinli were both assigned to the county bureau's criminal investigation brigade. He took a quick look at the others and thought Fang Yonghui was good, so he planned to keep him as well.

As for the other four, they will be left to the instructor to deal with.

Seven people followed Lu Kangming into the police station. Because Chief Gong Gaohui spent most of his time working in the county party committee, Lu Kangming instructed his subordinates to take these newcomers to the cafeteria for lunch first and wait for Chief Gong to meet them after he returned.

The cafeteria of the county bureau was very small, and the food was not to his taste. Luo Rui felt that there was grit in the rice, and it made his teeth crackle when he chewed it.

Luo Rui passed the joint examination in January with ease. After that, he interned in the patrol brigade of the Haijiang Branch for a few months, and was finally assigned to Shahe County.

Luo Rui had no idea who had brought him here. Before leaving, he went to the provincial department to meet with Wei Qunshan and Zhu Yong. The two said nothing, but patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job!"

Before Luo Rui left, Mo Wanqiu cried for a long time. The reason for her sadness was not that Luo Rui was going to leave her temporarily, but that Luo Rui had already started working and she was still a junior. The junior who had been promised to be with her actually left ahead of her. She felt aggrieved.

The six people who came with him all carried one suitcase, except Luo Rui who carried three suitcases.

A box of clothes, a box of Zhonghua cigarettes, and a box of Moutai.

This was prepared for him by Mo Liguo. He had originally stuffed the trunk of Luo Rui's BMW with things, but Luo Rui refused. People should not be too high-profile. Driving a million-dollar luxury car to get a job and driving around in this small county would be disastrous if he was noticed by the police inspector.

The senior brother who led them from the county bureau was called Sun Gong, who was in his thirties and was in charge of personnel and logistics.

This man kept chatting with Han Jinli and Miao Shouqiang and ignored the other five people.

Luo Rui saw it but said nothing. Both of them were technicians and would definitely stay in the county bureau to work. Sun Gong would have to deal with them more often in the future. As for Luo Rui and the others, they were all transferred to various police stations. Of course, he would not even look at them.

Sun Gong watched Han Jinli eat while he said, "Xiao Han, let me tell you, there aren't many murders in Shahe County every year. It's not a big deal. The main thing is that there are too many injuries to be assessed.

Most of the people in our county work in the Wuyuan Sand Mine, and there are many cases of work-related injuries. But don't worry, I'll take care of you, it'll be fine."

Han Jinli had short hair that reached her ears. She didn't even touch the rice in her bowl, but just picked up a few vegetables and chewed them.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Sun."

"You're welcome!"

After Sun Gong finished speaking, he looked at Miao Shouqiang and said, "Xiao Miao, if you need any equipment in the future, just tell me and I will get it for you if I can."

Miao Shouqiang was not tall, wore glasses, and had a simple and honest personality. He asked seriously, "Brother Sun, can you really get it? When I was interning at the Municipal Bureau, I saw that their survey boxes were pretty good, and they also had..."

Sun Gong immediately coughed twice and shouted to the cafeteria window: "Um... Master Zhao, don't buy loose rice next time. The new batch of rice you bought has sand mixed in it, and it makes your teeth crack when you eat it."

The old man wearing an apron in the cafeteria snorted coldly.

"Still want to eat bagged rice? Then why don't you apply for more food allowance? I'm telling you, Officer Sun, no matter how stingy you are, rice will have to be weighed from now on, and the limit for each person is two taels!"

Sun Gong scratched the back of his head and shouted, "Don't do that... If you don't feed those animals in the Criminal Investigation Team, Captain Li will definitely make trouble for you."

Old Zhao snorted, turned around and disappeared.

When Luo Rui came, he had already inquired carefully about the situation of the county bureau.

Due to its special geographical location, Shahe County has few homicides each year, but there are many accidental deaths. Either the workers in the sand field have accidents, or those who go into the mountains to collect herbs and mountain products are bitten to death by poisonous snakes, or they fall off cliffs and die.

Moreover, the number of missing people every year is very high, ranking first among all districts and counties in Linjiang City, among which the largest number are women and children.

Therefore, the county criminal investigation brigade has the largest number of missing persons cases on its hands.

The captain Li that Sun Gong mentioned is called Li Nong. He retired from the army in the 1980s and is now in his early fifties.

Because he was a scout, he was transferred to the Criminal Police Brigade. Later, he solved several major cases and was promoted to the position of brigade captain.

At this time, the atmosphere in the cafeteria was not very lively. Han Jinli and Miao Shouqiang had already known that they would stay in the county bureau, and they both looked relaxed, but the whereabouts of the other five people were still unknown.

Hearing that the county bureau wanted three people and the other four would be assigned to various police stations, the remaining people felt somewhat nervous.

Luo Rui didn't care. He had never thought that after graduation, he would be able to join a criminal investigation team with great fanfare and directly participate in homicide investigations like before.

Gu Dayong had told him at the beginning that without grassroots training, he would not be a qualified police officer in the future.

Luo Rui felt that this made sense, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger... No, it's good to start from a young age!
Among the six people traveling together, more than half were from other provinces, and only Fang Yonghui and Luo Rui graduated from the same school.

When Luo Rui first entered the Criminal Police Academy, Fang Yonghui was a junior and a serious senior.

Because of this, Fang Yonghui had a very good impression of Luo Rui, and on the way here, the two of them had a very pleasant chat.

Fang Yonghui is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a strong physique, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is very fair.

At this time, he whispered to Luo Rui: "Who do you think will stay in the county bureau among the five of us?"

Luo Rui didn't even raise his eyes: "You, who else could it be?"

Fang Yonghui frowned: "No, why do you think it's me?"

"You look like Lu Fengxian, with a slim waist and sweet buttocks, and you are very durable. You are suitable to be used as an animal."

"No, I have a wasp waist and an ape back, not a honey butt! You make it sound like the county bureau is a den of wolves and dragons." Fang Yonghui finished speaking, and said with great yearning: "Don't you want to stay in the county bureau? I tell you, the county bureau pays better, and it is close to the center, with more cases and fast promotions! I just want to join the criminal investigation team, help solve a few murders, and get a third-class merit, then I'll be satisfied!"

Luo Rui looked up at him: "Third-class merit? So unmotivated?"

Fang Yonghui narrowed his eyes. "What? Do you think the third-class merit is easy to get? In this poor place, the third-class merit is very impressive. That Li Nong, the captain, only got a second-class merit. I can't compare to such a person."

Sun Gong heard this and sneered with a mocking look on his face.

Luo Rui glanced at him and didn't like this guy very much. As for medals of honor, Luo Rui's first-class merit plaque was still hanging on the lintel of his hometown.

Last time, his father called him and said that a group of swallows flew over in the summer, built a nest under the plaque, and hatched six little swallows. This was a good omen, so he asked Luo Rui if something good had happened.

At that time, Luo Rui's net worth had exceeded 100 million yuan due to his profits from stock trading, but he did not dare tell Lao Deng's mother about it, for fear that they had a weak heart and would faint from excitement.

In the office of the deputy director of the county bureau, Lu Kangming sat in his office chair, sipping hot tea from a thermos cup.

Li Nong sat in the chair opposite him, looking at the resumes of the new police officers. Although he had already read them, in order to add a good seedling to the team, he had not yet made up his mind which one to keep.

There were two people he had his eyes on, one was Fang Yonghui and the other was Luo Rui.

Both of them are from the same province and graduated from the same Criminal Police Academy. However, Fang Yonghui completed four years of college and is tall and strong, like a bull. If he is used to block the door, no suspect will be able to escape.

On Luo Rui's resume, there are two words written: "skipping grades", which means that he skipped directly from his freshman year to his senior year, and then took the public security joint examination, which he miraculously passed.

Li Nong is a rough man who has never been to college, but unlike Lu Kangming, he values ​​highly educated talents.

Lu Kangming put down the thermos cup and glanced at him: "What? Haven't you chosen yet? I've already said that Fang Yonghui is good. He is not only handsome but also has a tall physique. He is just right for your Criminal Investigation Team!
That Luo Rui, although he is tall and strong, he is dark-skinned. How can he look like a policeman? "

Li Nong nodded, and then asked, "What is the origin of this Luo Rui? He skipped several grades in college, but his file hasn't been transferred yet? I'm afraid he got in through some backdoor?"

Lu Kangming twitched his chin.

"The file is kept at the Municipal Bureau. Someone from the Education Department looked at it and said there is nothing wrong with it.

Didn't it say so on his resume? After political investigation, it was found that Luo Rui's family used to run a small restaurant, and his family had been relatively clean for three generations. Moreover, none of his collateral relatives were senior officials in the city or province. It was probably because of his good academic performance that he skipped a grade.

People like this are very impetuous, they think they are smart, but in fact they can easily make mistakes. "Li Nong was still unsure, so he asked again: "Did you go to the city to ask?"

Lu Kangming said: "How would the city know about these things? When these new police officers arrived, Qing Gui did look at the list..."

Li Nong opened his eyes wide: "Chen Hao, Chen Detachment?"

"Yes, he actually looked at Luo Rui's resume for quite a while, and he even chuckled a few times."

Li Nong perked up: "Then I'll choose Luo Rui. If Captain Chen likes someone, then there will be no problem."

Unexpectedly, Lu Kangming rolled his eyes and replied, "Qing Gui was sneering. Have you ever seen him smile when he went to the city for meetings? He only smiles at criminals. I heard that he threatened to send criminals to prison with a smile. This Chen Hao is like the Black and White Impermanence! He always solves the cases he encounters in one fell swoop!"

Chen Hao is the most powerful criminal police captain in Haidong Province, and no one disagrees with this.

Every time Li Nong saw him, he felt a little scared. His "different view" of Luo Rui made Li Nong feel uneasy.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and put Luo Rui's resume on his desk, indicating that he had given up on this person.

"By the way, speaking of Team Chen, last year's escort truck robbery was really amazing! In addition to Team Chen, there was another young man who helped solve the case. Unfortunately, this incident was originally broadcast on TV, but was eventually banned by the TV station.

If our county bureau had a person like this, our county’s crime-solving rate would definitely rise this year!”

Lu Kangming curled his lips and said, "This is all Qing Gui's work. The young man's help in solving the case is all a rumor. I have been to the Municipal Bureau so many times and have never heard of this.

Once, I even went to ask Director Wan Mingxia about this matter, and she rolled her eyes at me. "

Li Nong felt uncomfortable when he thought of Wan Mingxia.

He often met the former Director Hu Changyu and often encouraged himself in private.

Now when he went to the Municipal Bureau, he had never met Director Wan once. During meetings, she only talked about work matters step by step. In private, she ignored him.

Chen Hao is clearly the soul of the Linjiang Municipal Bureau, and everyone sees it, so Wan Mingxia's life is not easy.

At this time, the instructor from the county bureau knocked on the door and walked in, asking, "How is it? Have you two made your choice? Once you have, I will assign the new police officers to their respective positions!"

Lu Kangming pointed to the office desk and said, "The resumes of these five people are all here. You can take them."

At this time, Li Nong hesitated for a moment and wanted to exchange Fang Yonghui's resume with Luo Rui's, but he finally did not make up his mind.

……

By the afternoon, the new police officers' assignments had been arranged.

As Luo Rui guessed, except for Han Jinli and Miao Shouqiang, Fang Yonghui stayed in the county bureau.

Luo Rui and four others were assigned to various police stations. Luo Rui's workplace was in the south of the county, near the Wuyuan sand mining site, and was called the Wuyuan Police Station.

A black Jetta arrived at the Wuyuan Police Station. The driver was Zheng Rong, who was nearly sixty years old and had already turned gray.

In the middle of summer, Zheng Rong was still wearing a brown leather jacket. As soon as he got out of the car, he shouted, "Who's Luo Rui?"

Luo Rui quickly stepped forward, stood at attention and saluted, "Report, I am Luo Rui."

Zheng Rong took a look, smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "Quick, call me Master!"

"Ah?" Luo Rui exclaimed in surprise.

"What are you so surprised about, kid? Hurry up and get in the car. I'm here to pick you up. My name is Zheng Rong, and I'll be your master from now on!"

Luo Rui blinked, then pushed three suitcases and walked forward laboriously.

Zheng Rong's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He was still very satisfied with Luo Rui's physique and appearance, but it was a shame for a grown man to be pushing three suitcases to work, and they were all oversized 28-inch suitcases, the kind that couldn't even fit on the train's storage racks!
In the past few years, trainee police officers either carried a small suitcase or a bag on their backs, which was simple and capable.

Besides, the unit will provide new police officers with daily necessities, such as bed sheets and quilts.

But this guy has more stuff than the policewoman. He doesn’t look like he’s here to work, but rather to travel.

Zheng Rong's heart was beating as he watched Luo Rui stack the suitcases in the trunk. He put the extra one on the back seat.

Luo Rui packed up, clapped his hands, and looked at the stunned Zheng Rong.

"Master, shall we go?"

Zheng Rong really wanted to join the county bureau and ask the instructor what was going on with Luo Rui. He was about to retire, and the last apprentice he took in was a sissy who only held sanitary napkins.

Zheng Rong was not as excited as when he first arrived. He nodded, sat in the driver's seat, and after Luo Rui got in, he started the car.

There was silence in the car for a moment.

Zheng Rong felt a little depressed and didn't say anything, but he didn't want to make the atmosphere too awkward, so he drove with one hand and took out a pack of Hongtashan cigarettes with the other hand, took out a cigarette and handed it to Luo Rui.

Seeing this, Luo Rui smiled, then got up from his seat, took out a pack of cigarettes from the back trunk and handed it to Zheng Rong.

"Master, I don't smoke, I'm giving this to you, please give me your guidance in the future."

Zheng Rong was startled. He had just glanced through the rearview mirror and discovered that when Luo Rui opened the zipper of the suitcase, it was full of Huazi.

Oh my god, the 28-inch suitcase is full of bright red flowers!
That old bastard Lu Kangming from the county bureau only buys a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes during festivals. Could it be that the young man in front of him is a rich second-generation?

That's not right. The county bureau had faxed Luo Rui's resume to the institute. He had already seen it when he came. How could he be so arrogant when he came from a peasant family and whose parents ran a small restaurant?

One suitcase is full of Huazi, what are the other two suitcases filled with?
Zheng Rong was stunned and didn't react.

Luo Rui shrugged and put the Huazi in his hand on the dashboard.

At this time, Zheng Rong quickly took it down and threw it into Luo Rui's arms.

"I say, you, young comrade, have a bad style. You just came here and you're giving me gifts. We have rules. I can't give you this."

Luo Rui curled his lips, tore open the package, took out a box of cigarettes, tore open the seal, took out a cigarette, held it to his nose and sniffed it.

"fragrant!"

Luo Rui had already noticed Zheng Rong's right hand while driving. The tip of his index finger was burnt yellow from smoke. It was obvious that he was an old smoker, even more addicted than Green Ghost Chen Hao.

Seeing him like this, Zheng Rong swallowed his saliva.

Luo Rui smiled, took a lighter from the dashboard, put the cigarette in his mouth, lit it, and handed it to Zheng Rong.

"Here, Master."

Zheng Yuan glanced at him, and muscle memory made him stretch out his right hand. He expertly pinched the cigarette, brought it to his lips, and took a deep puff.

The taste is indeed different, in two words: transparent.

After one breath, his whole body felt relaxed. The Hongtashan cigarette he smoked could not compare at all.

Zheng Rong sighed, glanced at Luo Rui, and said with a smile: "You kid, you're trying to seduce me with sugar-coated bullets right after we met. But I'll take a box of these cigarettes as a gift from you."

Luo Rui blinked and said, "Master, I'll tell you the truth. My family is not well off, but my father-in-law is doing business in the provincial capital. Others gave him a lot of good cigarettes and alcohol, such as Zhonghua, Maotai and Wuliangye. He doesn't drink or smoke, and neither do I. These things are almost expired at home, and it's not easy to throw them away, so I took them to honor elders like you."

Hearing this, Zheng Rong's eyelids jumped. This new apprentice was even better at lying than those old-timers in interrogation at the county bureau.

The wine will expire? The Chunghwa cigarettes will be thrown away?

The stuff in these three suitcases is worth over ten thousand yuan. If you take them to any store and sell them at a discount, that’s all money!

Although Zheng Rong worked as a grassroots police officer, he had a keen sense of smell and understood what Luo Rui meant.

He nodded: "It's a shame to throw it away, but, as I said, a pack of cigarettes costs hundreds of dollars, it's against the rules, I can't take it!"

Luo Rui pursed his lips and was about to persuade him, but he heard the old man say again: "Follow me in the future. I will definitely teach you what I can teach you. I will not hide anything. After all, if I teach you, I will have to retire. You are my last disciple, Zheng.

If you have such filial piety, you can just give me a few cigarettes every day, and you don’t need to give me a carton.”

Hearing this, Luo Rui grinned and smiled stiffly.

This old fox is really cunning. What does it mean to teach a man how to fish instead of giving him a fish? What does it mean to lay a long line to catch a big fish? This is it!

Giving him a pack of Huazi is not only against the rules, but he also smokes a box a day, and he is out of cigarettes in ten days.

If Luo Rui gave him a few cigarettes every day, not only would the risks be avoided, but also over a long period of time, how many cigarettes would that require?
There are so many Chinese flowers in this suitcase.

This old Zheng is sneaky and mean.

The two chatted all the way, facing the dust flying all over the city, and soon they arrived at the Wuyuan Police Station.

Luo Rui got out of the car and looked at the police station's official plaque hanging on the lintel.

I thought to myself, is this my starting point?

Thanks to Yikou-Fatty for the additional 1000 coins reward, you are so generous! Thank you.

Also thanks to Devil Purple Knife and Happy Erliuzi for their tips.

As for sister Yaya, I will repay your reward with my body, okay? Thank you.

Thank you guys for your monthly tickets!

In the new volume, after Luo Rui's transformation, he started as a small policeman and his position began to rise...

To be honest, this is my first book, I’m really a newbie.

I have only written about it in magazines before. When I first started writing the book, I encountered many pitfalls and had many so-called poisonous points. I didn’t understand any of them. I was scolded and despised by people. There is no way I can do this, so I have already written about it here.

If you can keep following this book, I will seriously read it! !

Thank you very much!
