Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 295 Promotion and salary increase
Outside the terminal hall.

Chen Hao was standing in front of the trash can smoking.

The sun broke through the clouds and the warm rays of light shone on his face.

A large civilian airliner took off from the tarmac and climbed high into the sky in the sunshine.

Luo Rui walked out of the automatic door.

Chen Hao threw the cigarette butt into the steel ashtray on the trash can: "Or let him go?"

Luo Rui shrugged: "What else can we do?"

"That's right. Chen Bai was not directly involved in the crime, and the indirect evidence is insufficient. Even if we detain him compulsorily, we have no way to stop him."

Luo Rui sighed and said, "According to Canadian laws, if he kills Xin Zongliang and finds a better lawyer, he should have a chance of survival."

"Then he'd better not come back." Chen Hao replied: "If he comes back, we will also hold him criminally responsible."

Luo Rui lit a cigarette and watched the passenger plane disappear into the sky to the north.

After a long while, he threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray and patted Chen Hao on the shoulder: "Let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"Of course, we're going back to Shahe County." Luo Rui saw a ticket on the glass window. He was caught by the airport traffic police because he had not parked according to regulations.

Chen Hao also wanted to get in the car: "Take me to the Municipal Bureau, I still have a lot of things to deal with."

Luo Rui got in the car and closed the door. "It's not on the way, you can take a taxi yourself."

Chen Hao rolled his eyes: "Damn!"

Luo Rui waved to him and drove out.

Chen Hao shrugged and waved to the taxi that had just taken passengers to the airport.

……

……

Shahe County.

When Luo Rui arrived, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon and it was almost time to get off work.

He walked into the county bureau building, and when the county police saw him, they all stepped aside and nodded politely.

Luo Rui had never encountered such respect in Shahe County.

He tilted his head and whistled as he went up the stairs.

"Oh my... who is this? Our Captain Luo is back!" Li Nong was standing in the corridor on the second floor. He pulled Luo Rui over and looked at him with a smile on his face.

Luo Rui also looked at him carefully. Li Nong's hair stood up neatly and the smell of cigarettes on his body was gone.

Normally, this old guy wears casual clothes, but today he was wearing a neat police uniform with two bars and two stars on his shoulders.

Li Nong's police rank is already second-level police inspector.

Luo Rui understood clearly that the appointment documents from the provincial departments and ministries must have come down.

Now, Li Nong has been officially appointed as the deputy director of Shahe County Bureau, in charge of criminal affairs.

"Oh, Director Li, congratulations!" Luo Rui flattered him.

Li Nong originally wanted to go downstairs, but when he saw Luo Rui, he pulled him upstairs.

"What is this for?"

"I saw your car upstairs. Why do you think I came downstairs? I'm taking you to see Director Lu and Political Commissar Yang."

"Tsk, you're being mysterious."

Luo Rui followed him to the Criminal Investigation Brigade on the third floor.

As I walked up the stairs, I saw Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo standing on both sides of the door, each holding a firecracker in their hands.

"Bang!"

The firecrackers exploded, and colorful pieces flew in the air.

Luo Rui was startled and squinted his eyes slightly. The hall was full of police officers in uniform.

When they saw Luo Rui, they applauded enthusiastically.

"Welcome back, Lord Luo!"

"Luo is awesome!"

"Master Luo, you have brought honor to our county bureau this time. Damn, in all these years, I have never seen the municipal bureau need the assistance of our county bureau. Moreover, you have solved this shocking case in such a short time. I don't think the experts in the provincial department are as awesome as you!"

The logistics police officer Sun Gong flattered him and spoke with great joy.

Lin Chen, who was standing aside, heard this and rolled his eyes at him.

In the crowd, Lu Kangming and Yang Yunqiao were all smiles, looking at Luo Rui as if he was looking at the police dog Xiaomu.

Shahe County is originally a poor and remote area, and the county bureau is inconspicuous in Haidong Province.

But since Luo Rui arrived, he has successively destroyed the black forces in the county, and then solved several major cases in succession, which can be said to have made the county bureau the center of attention.

Not only that, the criminal team also earned a police car, a police dog and a lot of experimental equipment.

This is a huge honor.

Who doesn’t like such subordinates?

Lu Kangming waved to Luo Rui: "Let's go to the office and talk."

Luo Rui nodded, smiled and bowed to his colleagues who were applauding around him.

After the group entered the office, Li Nong closed the door.

Lu Kangming took out a neatly folded police uniform from a suitcase and handed it to Luo Rui.

"This is the police uniform issued by the ministry. I am now officially handing it over to you."

Luo Rui stretched out his hands and took it carefully.

There are two bars and one star on both shoulders of the police uniform, and he is a third-level police inspector.

This was of course a great honor for Luo Rui. He felt heavy in his heart and was in a trance.

Luo Rui is only 22 years old now. If he were an ordinary person, he would still be studying in the police academy. Even if he passed the public security joint examination and was assigned to a grassroots police station, he would have to train for several years. Most police officers, if they do not have outstanding performance, will stay at the grassroots level for their entire lives.

Only those police officers who are lucky or very capable have the possibility of promotion.

Luo Rui is so young, but he has already been promoted to the position of captain of the criminal police brigade. It can be said that he is very proud of his family.

He smacked his lips, not feeling moved, but that was a lie.

Lu Kangming looked at him with satisfaction: "This is an honor, but it is also a responsibility. Luo Rui, keep up the good work. Political Commissar Yang and I are very optimistic about you!"

Yang Yunqiao nodded quickly. Both of them knew that Luo Rui was not an ordinary fish in a pond. Sooner or later, he would make the leap to the dragon gate.

If nothing unexpected happens, Luo Rui will definitely be ahead of them in the future.

What's wrong with saying something nice to a person like this?
If Luo Rui climbs to the top, after these two people retire, everyone will give them face.

After all, Shahe County is where Luo Rui started.

According to the *unspoken* rules of ancient bureaucracy, Luo Rui was half their disciple.

Yang Yunqiao smiled and said, "Originally, we planned to have Director Wu and the comrades from the ministry personally give you the police rank at the mid-year summary meeting, but as you know, the case you are investigating now has a great impact and has caused a lot of uproar, so the higher-ups decided that it would be better to keep a low profile."

"I understand." Luo Rui carefully put the police uniform into the box.

"From now on, you will be the captain of the criminal police brigade of our Shahe County. Li Nong will hand over the work to you." Lu Kangming pointed to the sofa.

After a few people sat down, Luo Rui frowned and said, "If this is the arrangement, if the criminal team goes out on a field mission..."

Li Nong replied: "Don't worry about this. I have discussed this with Director Lu and the Political Commissar. You guys go to other places to handle cases, and I will take over the criminal investigation work of the county bureau."

Luo Rui asked: "Is there no suitable candidate for the position of deputy captain of criminal investigation?"

Lu Kangming shook his head: "Look at those old gang members outside, they are all slick and unconcerned. Who has the qualifications? If nothing unexpected happens, I guess someone will be sent over from above."

Luo Rui said no more. There were only a few murders in the county bureau each year, so there were too few opportunities to make meritorious service. There were also few top students who graduated from the Police Academy. Fang Yonghui was one of them, but he was too young.

Li Nong said sadly: "If Qi Lei hadn't died, he would have been quite suitable. What a pity."

Lu Kangming also sighed: "Let's leave it at that for now. Luo Rui, you're back. We should start our special operation at the end of the year right away and strive to win a good battle."

"Okay!" Luo Rui nodded: "I'll arrange it right away."

"You just came back, don't be too anxious, take a rest for two days first.

Two days later, we will hold a meeting. County leaders will also attend, and we have to announce this matter to the entire county.

These are not the big cases you solve. We are mainly catching hooligans and those involved in H.

These people are used to being arrogant, and they dare not commit major criminal cases. They only do disgusting things, which cause great trouble to the people. Therefore, in this special operation, we try to catch all the suspects of theft, rape, and fighting..."

Luo Rui straightened his face and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Director Lu, I will definitely take on this responsibility."

Hearing his words, Li Nong almost laughed out loud. "What are you thinking about? What responsibility do you have? The suspects we are going to arrest this time are all suspects with solid evidence. These people are either hiding in other places or hiding in some corner of the county. They have been evading our police arrest. Moreover, there are so many of them. Just for theft, there are sixty or seventy people.

This special operation was launched by the county, so what responsibility do you have to bear?"

Luo Rui raised his eyebrows. After Li Nong said that, he understood.

This is definitely a credit, it's politics, it's face. How could I be the person in charge of the special operation?

Lu Kangming coughed twice to ease his embarrassment. "Li Nong is right. We are just doing the job in this special operation. But don't be discouraged. Anyway, the result is good."

"Okay, I understand." Luo Rui nodded.

……

After coming out of the director's office, Li Nong quickly pulled Luo Rui aside and asked in a low voice: "Are you free tonight?"

"Something's wrong?" Luo Rui stared at him suspiciously.

Li Nong touched the police rank on his shoulder in a showy manner and said happily: "To be honest, I was given this position of deputy director with your help, and you deserve half the credit. My wife, you should know her, she asked me to invite you to her house for a meal and treat you well."

Luo Rui grinned: "Of course I know you. A year ago, when Gu Zhiliang was arrested, you were missing and I went to your house to look for clues."

"Then it's settled?"

"Sure, do you want me to bring anything?"

Li Nong said sternly: "Don't do this, it's evil."

"Tsk, being a deputy director is so great, you're so aloof!" Luo Rui gave a thumbs up in disdain, then went downstairs holding the police uniform.

Although the third floor is the office building of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, the office of the Criminal Team is still on the first floor, which is in the room next to the case handling hall. It used to be a storage room but was later cleared out.

When Luo Rui walked into the office, Tian Guanghan, Yang Bo and others immediately whistled.

"Team Leader, congratulations!"

"Luo is so mighty!" Yang Bo looked at the police uniform held by Luo Rui and drooled with envy.

Fang Yonghui's face was also filled with excitement, as if he was happier than when he got his own promotion.

Luo Rui put the police uniform on his desk and waved his hand: "Without saying anything else, I will host you tomorrow night. All the police officers in the county will gather at Dongpo Building!" "Great!" Tian Guanghan shouted: "I want Maotai!"

"Enough Maotai!" Luo Rui said with a smile: "There is one more thing. Our criminal team will take a break for the next two days. In two days, our county will launch a special operation to crack down on e-forces.

By then, everyone should cheer up, because the opportunity to make meritorious deeds has come. Whoever catches the most suspects will be selected as this year's advanced worker. Not only will the county bureau recommend you for merit, but you will also get bonuses!"

Hearing this, everyone was eager to try, especially Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo, who were local police officers and had eager eyes.

Luo Rui has been promoted to captain of the criminal police brigade. Who wouldn’t be envious of him and who wouldn’t want to make progress?

After Luo Rui calmed everyone down, he looked at Lin Chen who was sitting in the chair without saying a word. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Lin Chen replied without raising his head, with a gloomy expression on his face.

Luo Rui leaned on the desk, not looking at her, but crossed his arms: "If you want to go back, make a decision early. Shahe County is a poor county. You can see that there is nothing fun here, and there are no big shopping malls or department stores. It is really difficult for you, a girl, to follow us to handle cases."

Lin Chen lay on the table, turned around and looked at Luo Rui: "Are you afraid that I will embarrass you? You just don't want me to learn from you!"

Luo Rui rolled his eyes: "No way, I can't wait for you to come. We are a bunch of old men, with smelly mouths and feet, running around all day, and we are all sweaty. Especially Lao Tian, ​​I tell you, you should have less contact with him, he farts all the time, it's so stinky, and Yang Bo likes to eat garlic, doesn't like to brush his teeth, and his words smell bad, it's unpleasant..."

Lin Chen snorted: "Team Leader, don't think I don't know, you just want to drive me away!"

Luo Rui shrugged: "Then you misunderstood me. If you don't believe it, you will naturally know the habits of these people in the future."

"What about you? What are your quirks?"

"Me? I'm so handsome, what kind of fetish can I have?"

Lin Chen blinked: "On the way back from the city, they told me a lot about you..."

"Oh? What did you say about me?"

"And Captain Cai Xiaojing, they said..."

Luo Rui frowned and looked at the group of people smoking in the corner.

He urged, "What did they say about me?"

Lin Chen chuckled and raised his head: "I won't tell you!"

"Forget it!" Luo Rui stood up and prepared to leave.

Since he couldn't persuade the other party, he could only keep him for now. As for Lin Chen's identity, Luo Rui didn't bother to care.

Just as he was about to leave, he turned back and said, "By the way, have you arranged your accommodation?"

Lin Chen's lips curled up into a smile: "Team leader still knows how to care for people."

Luo Rui rolled his eyes and ran away.

"Director Li rented a separate dormitory for me in the elevator building opposite the county bureau."

Lin Chen's voice sounded behind him. Luo Rui stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers to indicate that he understood.

……

……

Li Nong lives in a welfare house. This area is full of low seven-story buildings, one next to the other.

It is said to be welfare housing, but in fact it is a government agency.

The parking spaces downstairs were all full, and Luo Rui looked around but couldn't find one.

You can park at the basketball court, and there are many cars parked there.

But an old man without a shirt on was not afraid of the cold in the winter and was shooting a basketball into the basketball hoop.

This old man has great skills, and the ball always lands on the windshield of the car.

Seeing that the old man was so cruel, Luo Rui had no choice but to give up.

He drove the car out, parked it on the road outside, and walked towards Li Nong's home with a cardboard box in his arms.

The old man was still shooting the basketball, his face full of hatred.

A sanitation worker was coming towards him, and Luo Rui pointed towards the basketball court.

The sanitation worker curled his lips and said, "He is a retired county official. He used to be a secretary. Even if he smashed all the cars on the basketball court, no one would dare to say anything."

Luo Rui raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, what a great guy! No wonder he was so confident. However, the other party was indeed right.

Li Nong's family lives on the fifth floor. When Luo Rui arrived at the third floor, the stairs were full of people from the bottom to the top.

Everyone was holding a gift box in their hands.

Wow! They were all valuable cigarettes and alcohol, and even large ginseng bought from the north.

One of them was a bald man wearing a jacket and a big gold chain around his neck. He glanced at Luo Rui who was trying to squeeze up.

"Do you understand the rules? It's not your turn yet, move to the back!"

Luo Rui blinked and said carefully: "Yes, yes! I don't know the rules, brother, may I ask if these are for Director Li?"

"Isn't this nonsense?" The bald man snorted and glanced at the cardboard box in Luo Rui's arms: "What did you give me?"

"Me? It's just a simple gift, not worth much."

Luo Rui looked at the bald man's hand, and saw that he was holding a box of high-end mooncakes.

It’s the end of the year already, and people are still sending mooncakes?
There was no need to think about what was inside, Luo Rui knew it clearly.

The bald man looked at him and quickly hugged the gift box in his arms.

Luo Rui's curiosity was aroused: "Brother, what do you want to do with Director Li?"

The bald man glared at him and said, "None of your business! Stop asking questions about other people's business!"

Luo Rui shrugged, and seeing that the other party ignored him, he had to shut up.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit came down from above, still holding a gift box in his hand.

"Don't bother, everyone. I was kicked out even though I didn't accept anyone!"

One of them said, "Just because he doesn't accept yours doesn't mean he won't accept ours. I'm his old classmate!"

"Tsk!" The man in the suit sneered, "I'm still his cousin. Who is closer to him, us?"

Tsk tsk, Luo Rui complained in his heart, this Li Nong has really a lot of relatives. It is estimated that distant relatives who were not even close to him before have all come to visit in the past few days.

Then another middle-aged woman came down from upstairs and shook her head, saying, "Everyone, please stop blocking here. This person is really not giving us face. There is nothing we can do!"

Someone asked, "Who are you to him?"

"Me, his ex-girlfriend!"

Luo Rui opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but take a closer look at the middle-aged woman. Although her figure was out of shape, she was indeed beautiful when she was young. He thought to himself, I wonder what attitude Li Nong's wife would have if she knew her identity?

"How about this, I heard that the new chief of the criminal police team is from another place and is still very young, why don't we go to him?"

Hearing people talking, the bald man perked up: "Do you know where he lives?"

"How would I know? But I heard he's very good."

Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.

Luo Rui rolled his eyes and said, "I know Officer Luo. Let me tell you, what the old man said just now is right. Officer Luo is young and promising. He is only 22 years old. I heard that he has solved many major cases. If we can get to know him, it will be convenient for us to do things in the future. I guarantee that he will be more useful than Li Nong."

The bald man looked at him suspiciously: "You?"

Luo Rui swore, "I really know Officer Luo. He is from this city. When he was a high school student, he helped the police solve several cases. He started out by cracking down on prostitution. The former director of the Municipal Bureau, Hu Changyu, was his teacher. Did their family run a small restaurant before?

This small restaurant is just downstairs from our house. I often go there to eat, so I naturally became familiar with it.

If I were him and the county police chief, why would I still be here? "

After saying that, Luo Rui pretended to go downstairs.

Seeing that he spoke so confidently, everyone immediately believed it a little.

Baldhead immediately grabbed him and said, "Brother, do you really know him?"

“That’s fake.”

The bald man thought about it and pleaded, "Then I'll go with you. We can be companions."

Luo Rui hurriedly shook his head: "That won't work! Even though I know him, I can't cause trouble for him. What's the point of taking you with me?"

"Well, brother, listen to me..." The bald man quickly took out his business card and handed it to Luo Rui. "This is my business card. I'm from the Urban Construction Company. If you can help me connect with Officer Luo, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Luo Rui frowned and looked at him: "What do you want to do with him?"

"It's like this, one of my brothers is in the detention room, and there's still no news..."

"Okay! I can ask for you."

"Thank you, brother. Thank you very much!" The bald man bowed with both hands.

When the others saw this, they swarmed over and started talking at the same time.

Luo Rui shouted, "Don't push, I don't know if people can see you, but give me your business cards first and I'll ask around for you..."

Ten minutes later, Luo Rui had a thick stack of business cards in his hand.

Those who gave gifts also left satisfied.

The bald man is from an urban construction company. His brother was locked up in a detention room because he injured someone during a demolition project.

The daughter of the man in the suit was bullied by a gangster, but because there was no evidence, the other party was not in trouble, so he wanted to find someone to send the other party to jail.

The husband of Li Nong's ex-girlfriend had a mistress and had a son with her. The woman wanted to find some crime for her husband and send him to jail.

Luo Rui sighed, went to the fifth floor and knocked on the door.

A scolding voice came from the door: "I've told you so many times, leave immediately, or I'll call the police!"

"Sister-in-law, I'm Luo Rui."

The people inside heard the sound and the door was opened suddenly.

"Officer Luo, welcome, welcome." Chi Ai quickly let him in and then looked into the corridor.

Luo Rui shrugged: "I sent everyone away."

Chi Ai patted his chest and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I made you laugh."

"Nothing." Luo Rui replied: "By the way, where is Director Li?"

Chi Ai pointed to the living room: "Look, he's sitting on the sofa."

Luo Rui walked around the counter and saw Li Nong standing straight with his hands on his knees.

He gritted his teeth and watched the TV news with a serious expression.

The screen showed a recorded news program, in which several gray-haired men stood in the judge's seat, confessing in court with tears and snot.

Chi Ai sighed: "He's gone crazy. He's watched it more than ten times, and he's afraid that his butt will be crooked."

Luo Rui smacked his lips and said, "This is a very good way of education. Old Li is a very clear-headed person..."
