Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 276 Recognition, Harvest Season
The day before New Year's Day.

Guangxing City, Provincial Department.

Outside the auditorium, uniformed police officers entered the auditorium one after another.

Haidong Province has more than a dozen prefecture-level cities and counties under its jurisdiction and a large police force. However, the number of people invited to the ceremony was not large, including family members of the police officers who were commended.

All members of the criminal team were present except Cai Xiaojing who was on leave and Qi Lei who had sacrificed himself.

A group of people just entered and spontaneously looked for their seats. Everyone looked left and right but couldn't find their own names.

At this time, the police officer who was maintaining order immediately trotted over and whispered to Luo Rui, who was leading the group, "Team Leader Luo, your position is at the front, in the third row."

Upon hearing this, Tian Guanghan was surprised: "The third row?"

Everyone looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

The commendation conference held by the provincial department is the focus of everyone's attention.

The first and second rows are filled with big shots, either the top or second in command, senior officials in the province, or senior police officers in the ministry.

In the criminal team, apart from Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing who can barely sit there, what qualifications do other people have?
Chu Yang, Su Mingyuan and Fang Yonghui are all police academy students who have graduated only a few years ago.

Tian Guanghan is a veteran in the criminal police team, and he had followed the wrong person earlier.

Yang Bo was a police officer at a third-level police station in Shahe County a year ago.

No matter who it was, there was excitement and disbelief in their hearts.

Luo Rui put his arm around the shoulder of a young man next to him, who was none other than Qi Lei's son, Qi Shi.

He came to receive the honor on behalf of his father. Qi Lei was awarded the second-class hero model because of his heroic sacrifice in the last major anti-separatist case.

This is the honor he deserves!

"How do you feel? Are you nervous?" Luo Rui asked.

Qi Shi was just a high school student, not yet an adult, and had never seen such a grand scene.

Surrounding me were policemen in uniform and police hats, all of them looked heroic and solemn.

Qi Shi was wearing a school uniform, which was cleaned neatly by his mother the day before.

He swallowed and replied, "I...I'm honored."

Luo Rui patted him on the shoulder: "This is what your father deserves."

"Officer Luo, I will study hard. My dream is to become a police officer like my father. I hope that one day, I can follow you to catch bad guys."

Luo Rui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you. I'll keep your father's police number for you."

Qi Shi nodded heavily.

At this moment, the auditorium was still quite crowded, and everyone was standing in the open space in the back row, chatting with each other.

Luo Rui's shoulder was patted hard.

He turned around and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Master!"

Zheng Rong had a smile on his face and looked much better than he did six months ago.

He hugged Luo Rui tightly and said, "Boy, I haven't seen you for a few months. You have become stronger again!"

Yang Bo and Fang Yonghui saw him and hurried over.

"Uncle Zheng!" they both shouted in unison.

Zheng Rong let go of Luo Rui, stretched out his hands and grabbed the wrists of the two men.

"Good boys, following Luo Rui to solve cases, I see your spirits and energy are different now."

Yang Bo chuckled: "Uncle Zheng, I was thinking on the way here that I would definitely see you today, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Fang Yonghui also had a smiling face.

At that time, in order to capture Gu Zhiliang, a local tyrant in Shahe County, Zheng Rong was stabbed and almost died.

Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo also participated in this case.

Their attitude towards Zheng Rong is real respect.

"Uncle Zheng, your cancer..."

Zheng Rong took off his police hat, revealing a bald head.

He touched his head with his hand and laughed, "Look, all my hair has fallen out due to this damn chemotherapy. But don't worry, my disease has stabilized and the tumor has disappeared. It looks like I can live for another ten years."

Hearing this, Luo Rui smiled and asked, "What about cigarettes? Do you still smoke them now?"

Zheng Rong patted his trouser pocket and said, "Come on, why not?"

"Smoke less. I'm retired now and don't have much to worry about. I go fishing every day and travel when I have nothing to do. It's pretty good."

"Tsk!" Zheng Rong disagreed and said solemnly: "Let me tell you, I have been rehired by the Shahe County Bureau. I am now a non-staff member of the Shahe County Bureau and the Criminal Investigation Brigade."

"Is this true? You didn't lie to me?" Luo Rui opened his eyes wide.

"of course it's true!"

The person who said this was not Zheng Rong. Luo Rui turned around and saw Lu Kangming, Yang Yunqiao and Li Nong walking into the auditorium.

Lu Kangming had a sullen face and was obviously unhappy.

Yang Yunqiao and Li Nong were all smiling.

Li Nong said, "Your criminal team has been in Haijiang District for half a year, especially you, Luo Rui, who is the deputy captain of our criminal investigation team. It doesn't make any difference whether you are there or not. Our team is short of manpower, so we have no choice but to hire your master back."

Yang Yunqiao also said: "In fact, our Shahe County is a small county, there are not many homicide cases every year, and the cases that are solved are generally ordinary cases.

Lao Zheng has worked at the grassroots level all his life, and there is nothing he is not familiar with, whether it is ordinary people or grassroots police officers.

Master Zheng knew clearly whether it was a big or small gangster in the county, or which stray dog ​​had given birth to a cub.

In the past month, if it weren’t for Lao Zheng leading the Criminal Investigation Team to solve several unsolved cases, our crime-solving rate this year would definitely be at the bottom.”

Hearing this, Luo Rui didn't dare to look at Yang Yunqiao and Lu Kangming.

We had agreed to return to Shahe County at the end of the year, but once a case came up, there was no definite time frame for solving it, and as a result of this delay, it was soon the end of the year.

Lu Kangming had originally had a good plan, wanting to steal Wei Qunshan's business. He didn't know how much tea he had given away, but he was tricked by Old Wei, and ended up losing more than he gained.

Luo Rui coughed twice and whispered, "Um... Director Lu, New Year's Day is coming soon. After New Year's Day, I wonder if the county should organize a special operation to eliminate hooligans and gangsters?
If we do this, the people can see it, benefit from it, and will recognize the work of our county bureau.

Think about it, even if we solve several unsolved murder cases, the people will not think we are good. "

Lu Kangming snorted, "That sounds good, but special operations don't cost money? Do we need to allocate funds? With our rate of solving cases this year, it's difficult to even get the money."

Luo Rui looked a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Yang Yunqiao came to his rescue: "Not really, not really. Our achievements this year are still quite significant. Think about it, Gu Zhiliang's separatist group was destroyed, right?

The K301 train robbery and murder case is a case within a case. In terms of the complexity of the case, it ranks among the most complicated in the country this year.

Moreover, Luo Rui had just solved the case of a corpse hidden in a culvert not long ago, and this case had a far greater impact than other similar cases..."

Yang Yunqiao poked Lu Kangming's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Look at Lu Huzi. See? He looks dejected. In several cases, they wanted to compete with us, but we were always ahead."

Everyone looked towards the opposite passage and saw two people coming from Pingyang County. In addition to Lu Peng, there was also the political commissar of the county bureau.

Previously, Yao Quan, the captain of the Pingyang County Criminal Investigation Brigade, had disappeared.

Lu Peng's expression was serious and listless.

He also saw Lu Kangming and his gang. In the past, he would definitely come over to say hello and even argue with Lu Kangming about the case, but at this moment, he was no longer in the mood.

When Lu Kangming saw the other party's condition, he didn't feel very happy. Instead, he felt a little sad.

After all, everyone’s territories are adjacent to each other. Who knows what will happen to them in the future?

Thinking of this, Lu Kangming sighed and looked at Luo Rui.

"I'll think about what you just said. It's not impossible to carry out a special operation at the beginning of the year, but I have to go to the county to ask for money. It's still unclear whether I can get the money."

Luo Rui felt somewhat guilty towards Lu Kangming.

He and Yang Yunqiao are decent people. When Gu Zhiliang was arrested, they withstood the tremendous pressure and stood on his side.

Afterwards, Luo Rui was promoted to deputy captain of criminal police.

Don't underestimate this promotion. Many people may not be able to reach this position in their lifetime.

What's more, how long has Luo Rui been a police officer?
This is all because of the trust Lu Kangming and Yang Yunqiao have in him.

Shahe County was Luo Rui's first stop as a police officer, and no matter what, he has deep feelings for the county.

At this time, Luo Rui said slyly: "It's not possible at the beginning of the year. Although it is New Year's Day, there is still a month before the Spring Festival. If we calculate according to the lunar calendar, this year is not over yet.

Director Lu, you must have heard me wrong. What I said was that a special campaign to crack down on gangs and eliminate evil will be launched after New Year's Day. The New Year is coming soon, and the suspects who have fled abroad all want to go home. Don't they want to go home and see their wives and children?

Besides, don’t the evil forces also want to share the money during the Chinese New Year? With the money, will KTVs and nightclubs do better business? With the money, don’t some people want to gamble?
Special operations require funds, but we will definitely not lose money if we do this in the county.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Kangming and Yang Yunqiao looked at each other, and Li Nong even clapped his hands and smiled.

Fang Yonghui recalled the recent crackdown on gambling, when the chief of the police station confiscated more than one million yuan in gambling money.

It turns out that he can be the deputy captain of the criminal police team and the leader of the criminal team. He is more cunning than anyone else.

Lu Kangming naturally understood the seriousness of the situation. He laughed and the previous gloom was swept away.

"Luo Rui, I said you are suitable to be a police officer, and I was right about you. After attending the commendation meeting, I will go back and discuss this matter with the county."

Yang Yunqiao was also in high spirits. This special operation could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

On the one hand, when ordinary people see the improvement in the security environment, they will naturally praise it and give a thumbs up.

On the other hand...right?
Seeing more and more people entering the venue, Lu Kangming straightened the hem of his uniform. "Okay, since you'll be going back to Shahe County soon, I'm relieved. Let's go and take our seats."

Li Nong immediately said attentively: "Director Lu, this way, our Shahe County is in the seventh row."

Lu Kangming took two steps, then turned around and asked, "Luo Rui, where are you?"

Luo Rui shrugged and pointed forward. "The third row, look, it's the row behind the Guangxing City Bureau."

Lu Kangming glanced at the back of the provincial department leader and was speechless for a moment.

Yang Yunqiao also shook his head.

Li Nong muttered, "Damn!"

……

Half an hour later, the commendation ceremony officially began. The first people to be commended were drug enforcement officers. The dangers they faced could be said to be the most dangerous type of police force, except for special departments.

There is a huge difference between arresting a drug dealer and arresting ordinary criminals.

Because in recent years, gun control has become increasingly strict. Criminals generally use a variety of tools to commit crimes, but very few use guns. During the arrest process, the safety of the police officers in charge of the case is still guaranteed.

But it is different for those who are convicted of drug crimes, because they know that if they are caught, they will either be sentenced to death or life imprisonment, and in short, they will never see the light of day again in their lifetime. Therefore, many people take risks and have already prepared themselves to fight the police for their lives.

Not to mention guns, they even have bombs.

Luo Rui had dealt with these poisonous fans many times, so he naturally knew how arrogant and vicious they were.

The Criminal Police Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, because of the last operation in which Qi Lei died, Liao Kang was not only not commended, but was also severely criticized and made to make a written inspection to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

In addition to the police officers being commended, the anti-drug police dog that made contributions was also led onto the stage by its trainer with a big red flower around its neck.

The police dogs don’t know how significant this is. When they return to the unit, they are qualified to queue up with two food trays in their mouths.

The food they eat is completely different from that of the new police officers.

There were six people in the criminal team, plus Qi Shi representing his father, and they all went on stage to be commended.

Wei Qunshan had already said last time that he deserved the honor.

Qi Lei is a second-class hero model, Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing are first-class individual merits, and the others are second-class merits.

The criminal team was formed in just half a year.

It can be said that every case they solved was a major case, and the suspects were captured in an extremely short time.

It is not difficult to solve the case. The most important thing is how much time it takes.

Many years ago, when the slogan of solving homicide cases was put forward, both the municipal and county bureaus were under considerable pressure.

Especially for difficult cases, the amount of money invested is incalculable.

Personnel transfers require money.

Technical support costs money.

The use of large machines costs money.

The police officers went out to visit and asked for money.

When it comes to rounding up suspects or searching for corpses, it also costs money.

Hundreds of police officers are investigating a major case, and their food, drink, and shelter all cost money.

Even just a bowl of instant noodles or a bottle of mineral water, when added up, can be a huge expense.

Otherwise, how could the world-famous "Detective" Nie* be sought after by so many people?

Where do you think she got this honor? Because she can solve a case in two days, just two days!
How much money would this save? Although...right?
Being able to solve a case is one thing, and being able to save money is another.

If leaders are asked to choose which one is more important, they will usually choose the latter.

In fact, this is not much different from starting a business and employees can save money for the boss.

The top leaders of the municipal and county bureaus in Haidong Province were all present in the meeting room. When they saw Luo Rui's criminal team, they were all jealous.

The criminal team consists of seven or eight people, and they solve a case almost every few days with very little funding. The cases are also very complicated. It would be a lie to say that you are not jealous.

In addition, Shahe County Bureau was also commended.

Whether it is Gu Zhiliang’s separatist gang, the K301 train robbery and murder case, or the tunnel corpse hiding case, they are all major criminal cases. For this reason, the Shahe County Bureau has also been on the rule of law channel.

The internal brochure also had the name of the Seventh Squadron of Shahe County Bureau printed on it, and that photo appeared on the big screen at this time.

Luo Rui stood in the first row, with his comrades from the Seventh Squadron behind him.

In addition to Qi Lei's sacrifice, Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo were also in the photo.

Yang Bo and Fang Yonghui sat upright, their hearts pounding.

They knew that all these honors were brought to them by Luo Rui.

If it weren't for Luo Rui, Yang Bo might still be patrolling the streets, dealing with neighborhood disputes every day, or helping people find cats and dogs.

Fang Yonghui was still an ordinary criminal policeman, following his predecessors to the crime scenes and had no chance to participate in the investigation of the case. He had to serve tea and water for those old helpers for several years.

The commendation meeting lasted until the afternoon, and the members of the criminal team could be said to have reaped a lot, with each of them having a big red flower and medal on their chest.

Yang Bo touched the medal again and again, wishing he could put it on his lips and kiss it.

Everyone else was excited too.

Especially Tian Guanghan, who was in his forties and received the honor for the first time. He was like a man who had a son in his old age. He kept looking down at the medal on his chest, with his eyes curved with smiles.

This medal will accompany them for the rest of their lives, and their retirement benefits and the treatment of their children will be vastly different from those of normal retired police officers.

For example, Luo Rui’s children can get extra points in the college entrance examination, and they will also have priority if they enter the system.

In short, no matter what aspect of your life you are in, as long as you have gained merit, you will have a convenient door and it will be convenient to do anything.

Tomorrow is New Year's Day. Because the criminal team is about to return to Shahe County to handle a case, they are allowed to rest for a few days.

Yang Bo and Fang Yonghui both came with suitcases, and they happened to catch a special car from Shahe County, so they just happened to hitchhike back.

Before getting on the car, Lu Kangming and Wei Qunshan stood on one side, and the two whispered for a long time.

While listening, Lu Kangming looked at Luo Rui.

That look was full of doubt and confusion, but in the end it was a deep sigh.

Luo Rui ignored them and just sat together with Li Nong, smoking.

Li Nong said, "You know, my cousin and your sister got their marriage certificate, and the wedding is scheduled for a week later. Your sister didn't plan to organize it, but my cousin didn't agree because it was his first marriage."

Luo Rui has not been in Shahe County for the past six months, so he naturally doesn't know much about Meng Jun's affairs.

Moreover, Meng Jun rarely contacted me, as if he was afraid of disturbing him.

"My cousin wanted me to host the wedding, and I thought, it would be better for you to host it instead of me.

After all, Meng Jun has a special relationship with you. Besides, her former in-laws and her own family have come to the bun shop to cause trouble. If you come forward, you may be able to calm them down. "

Luo Rui frowned: "Are you afraid that they will cause trouble on the wedding day?"

Li Nong nodded.

"I say, your cousin is getting married, and as the head of the criminal investigation team of the county bureau, if you step in, can't you solve it?"

Li Nong sighed, "I would like to, but Meng Jun's previous in-laws are relatives of my grandfather. If we calculate it, according to Meng Jun's ex-husband's generation, I have to call her aunt. You say, if someone comes to make trouble, I still have to call them great-aunt?"

Luo Rui rolled his eyes. "What era is this? You still care about this?"

"After all, our Li family is a big family. You also know my last name. Our ancestor is Li..."

"Get lost. According to what you said, I am still a descendant of Emperor Huangdi!" Luo Rui was too lazy to talk to him any more.

After Lu Kangming and Wei Qunshan finished chatting, the group boarded a minibus bound for Shahe County.

Luo Rui knew exactly what resources the Shahe County Bureau had.

This minibus is the leader’s special car and has never been seen in the county bureau’s parking lot.

It is estimated that the county specially equipped it for Lu Kangming and others.

This old guy said he had no money, but it was probably all lies.

At the commendation meeting, the Shahe County Bureau stole the limelight, and it was not difficult to see how proud Lu Kangming and Yang Yunqiao were.

"Team leader, let's go back first."

"Team leader, see you in a few days."

Yang Bo and Fang Yonghui got into the car carrying their suitcases.

Yang Bo’s hometown is in Shahe County, so he could just hitchhike there.

Fang Yonghui's family is much better off, his home is in Linjiang City.

It is now the territory of Wan Mingxia and Kang Bolin.

Luo Rui had also seen them before, but Fang Yonghui's unit was in Shahe County, so he naturally followed the Shahe County car.

Before getting into the car, Lu Kangming looked at Luo Rui meaningfully, as if he was a little worried.

He waved his hand and said nothing.

Luo Rui glanced at Wei Qunshan. This old guy must have said something to Lu Kangming.

However, Wei Qunshan pretended nothing had happened, waved to the minibus, and then came to Luo Rui.

"Kid, how are you going to spend New Year's Day?"

Luo Rui shrugged: "I have guests coming to my house, and I'm very busy on New Year's Day."

"Guests?" Wei Qunshan asked, "Chen Hao and others?"

Luo Rui nodded: "Years ago, they asked me to invest. Now they have made a lot of money, so I have to give them the dividends."

Luo Rui counted on his fingers and said nonchalantly: "Green Ghost Chen Hao, the principal is 10, and after the dividends, you should get 58.

Captain Cai, with an original capital of 8, had a profit of 89 after dividends.

Liao Kang can get 21 yuan.

Du Feng is the most stingy, he invested a small amount of capital, and only gave out 8 yuan in dividends..."

"Oh, by the way, Director Hu and Captain Zhu also approached me privately to invest. They earn more, and each of them will receive no less than one million in dividends."

Hearing this, Wei Qunshan almost vomited blood.

It turns out that I am the only one who didn't get on Luo Rui's money-making boat.

He swallowed his saliva and looked around. Seeing no one coming over, he whispered, "When did Director Hu and Captain Zhu ever ask you to invest money? This shouldn't be the case. It's against the rules!"

Luo Rui rolled his eyes at him and said, "This isn't business. The income from stock trading is legal and compliant. Haven't you played a few games in the stock market?"

Wei Qunshan took a breath and squinted his eyes and said, "I do have some spare money, I wonder if you have any connections?"

Luo Rui spread his hands and said helplessly: "The bull market is over. We will be stuck in the spring. There is no chance, Director Wei."

Luo Rui shrugged and strode away.

Outside the door, a newly-delivered red Ferrari stopped by the roadside. After Mo Wanqiu got out of the car, she waved to Luo Rui and blew him a kiss...
