Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 316 Taking office
At the beginning of the year, the spring was cold and steep, but the last snow has passed.

Although the weather is still cold, the ice and snow have melted into streams, flowing in the mountain ditches of Shahe County.

The clear sounds of birds chirping returned to everyone's ears, and from time to time the sound of insects breaking through the ground could be heard.

Everything indicates that the old year has passed and the new year has begun, and it is the time when everything flourishes.

At the entrance of the county bureau in Shahe County, a banner has been hung that reads, "We welcome leaders from ministries and provincial departments to visit our county."

In the three-story building and the yard of the police dog squadron behind it, you can see police officers shuttling back and forth, busy at work. All of them are in uniform and look high-spirited.

Some were cleaning the windows, some were cleaning the yard, and some were arranging the green plants they had just bought.

What do frontline criminal police care about most? It's not the gun, which they only get a few times a year. What they care about most is the police car, which has four legs and can run faster than their own two legs.

It is said that front-line criminal police have iron legs. When they go out to visit people, their legs will be broken from running. Even if they have a bicycle as a substitute, it is always better than their own iron legs.

So, the front-line criminal police stayed in the yard, rolled up their sleeves, carried buckets of water, applied detergent on the car body, and carefully wiped the car windows with a rag.

There are ten police cars, one of which was brought back from Linjiang City, and the other two are from Fukang County. These three cars are the most beloved by the police officers. They are trophies and a reflection of their military achievements.

Whenever someone comes to inspect, the police officers who receive them will point at these three cars and proudly introduce the whole story. Of course, the name that they mention most is Luo Yanwang.

At this time, Lu Kangming and Yang Yunqiao were standing in the yard, both with their arms folded across their chests, unable to stop sighing.

"Old Yang, remember this: after I leave, no new recruits should try to drive these three cars. They are the symbol of our honor."

Yang Yunqiao glanced at him and said, "Director Lu, you have to tell Li Nong about this. He is in charge of criminal investigation, and he has the car keys."

Lu Kangming sighed and said, "I've already told him. I'm telling you this just as a double insurance."

"know."

"Think about two years ago, when Luo Rui came, our Shahe County was still a poor county, and the county bureau was also in tatters. That guy, Gu Zhiliang, yes, it's him. You see, I almost forgot his name.

When we caught him, we were both at risk of being retired, but now, how about it? At an age like this, there is still a chance to move up.

Lao Yang, Shahe County will be handed over to you from now on. You must be a good director and remember your original intention. "

Yang Yunqiao nodded solemnly, then stretched out his hand and shook hands tightly with his old partner. They could see in each other's eyes the passion they had when they were young and had joined the police force.

Seeing them like this, the front-line detectives at the car wash stopped what they were doing, looked up, and watched the handover ceremony of the two old leaders with tears in their eyes.

The tears in his eyes were a bit too much, but it seemed inappropriate to express this atmosphere without pretending.

Li Nong was also standing at the door. He sniffed, stepped forward, and shook hands with Lu Kangming: "Leader."

Lu Kangming smiled and said, "Don't be so sad, Li Nong. I'm not retiring, I've just been promoted. Remember this, after Luo Rui and I leave, don't let Fukang County and Pingyang County outshine you. Don't let me call and scold you."

Li Nong quickly stood at attention and saluted, "Don't worry, I will definitely complete your request."

"Okay. Where's Luo Rui?"

"In the backyard, saying goodbye to Xiaomao and Xiaomu."

"He does have a heart."

……

……

In the police dog squadron, Luo Rui squatted down. He stretched out his hands and stroked the soft hair on Xiaomao and Xiaomu's backs.

Two police dogs, one big and one small, were whimpering and rubbing their heads against his trouser legs.

Xiaomao is young and naive and doesn't know anything.

But Xiaomu is already a meritorious dog and is smarter than humans.

Early in the morning, Lu Kangming did not even enter the office. The first to arrive were the police dog squadron.

Xiaomu was bought from the neighboring municipal bureau in exchange for police supplies when he was in office, so of course he has the most affection for him.

Because it is a police dog, it cannot be fed with ordinary dog ​​food, so Lu Kangming bought a box of dog food, but was verbally rejected by Shang Jungang.

Shang Jungang was still complaining in his heart, you know what? You are the director, and when you were in office, you issued repeated orders to prevent dog-loving police officers from secretly feeding snacks to Xiaomu. Now that you've left office, you want to break this rule?
Whenever a police officer is transferred to another post in the county bureau, he will come to see the police dogs before leaving. It seems that during the years working in the county bureau, these people have a lot of things in their hearts that are not convenient to tell to people, so they can only tell them to the dogs.

Lu Kangming took Xiaomu and Xiaomao aside and talked to them for more than an hour.

Shang Jungang didn’t know what the two men and dogs talked about, but judging from Lu Kangming’s expression, they seemed very happy.

If we talk about the gossips in the county bureau building who know the most secrets, it is probably these two police dogs. If these two dogs could talk, I wonder how many people they could catch.

Luo Rui stroked the fur of the two police dogs and said with a smile: "After I leave, you two are not allowed to fight, Xiaomu, you are an old man, don't bully Xiaomao.

You must remember that Xiaomao is your apprentice and your inheritance. Our police dogs also have your master, don’t you know?
You two must carry forward the police dog squadron of Shahe County. Don’t follow your mentor Shang Jungang, who only knows how to be lazy…”

Shang Jungang: ...

Luo Rui was still rambling, and Lin Chen, who was standing behind him, muttered in dissatisfaction: "Team Leader, is that enough? It's my turn now."

Behind Lin Chen were Fang Yonghui, Yang Bo, Tian Guanghan, Chu Yang, and Su Mingyuan. All of them came to "get some closeness", but who knew that Luo Rui ran the fastest and had been chatting with the two police dogs for an hour.

Hearing this, Luo Rui stood up and walked aside.

Lin Chen took a step forward and touched Xiaomu and Xiaomao with a smile. As Shang Jun turned his head away, she hurriedly took out the dog biscuits, which had been wrapped long ago, from her pocket, broke them into two pieces, hid one piece in one hand, and secretly fed them to Xiaomu and Xiaomao.

Behind her, Fang Yonghui also put his hands in his trouser pockets and touched the little fish in his palm with a guilty look.

An hour later, Sun Gong from the logistics department came running over: "Luo Da, people from the provincial department and the ministry are here to pick you up."

Luo Rui nodded, then looked at Shang Jungang: "Old Shang, goodbye."

Shang Jungang nodded and saluted him: "Luo Da, if it weren't for you, our police dog squadron would only have one person and one dog. Xiaomu and Xiaomao will never forget you!"

Luo Rui also returned the gift, then led his men out of the backyard and came to the gate of the county bureau.

At this time, all the police officers of Shahe County Bureau, whether they were in logistics or front-line criminal police, about 200 people stood in several rows.

Standing at the front of the team and facing these people were Lu Kangming and comrades from the provincial department and organization department.

These two senior units were specifically here to pick up people. They were responsible for sending Lu Kangming and Luo Rui to Linjiang City, and they also had to read out the appointment letters.

Luo Rui walked into the team with a heavy heart, then stood up straight with a stern look in his eyes.

The police officers in the team were all looking at him, especially Zheng Rong, Luo Rui's master, whose face showed relief, reluctance and happiness.

"Master." Luo Rui turned his head, looked at him, and whispered, "Thank you."

Zheng Rong sighed. He wanted to pat the boy on the shoulder, but due to discipline, he could only give him an encouraging look.

The comrade from the Organization Department read out the appointment letter verbatim. Lu Kangming took office as deputy director of Linjiang City, in charge of criminal affairs, and Luo Rui took office as deputy detachment commander of Linjiang City.

In addition to these two people, Yang Bo and Fang Yonghui were also transferred to the Municipal Bureau Detachment. Because Luo Rui's criminal team still exists, the two did not have specific positions. However, the personnel are attached to the First Brigade of the Linjiang City Detachment.

After the announcement, everyone immediately burst into warm applause.

Lu Kangming's face was full of joy, completely different from his previous melancholy.

Luo Rui also felt emotional in his heart. It has only been two years, and he has returned to the place where his dream began.

At this moment, everyone was looking at him, the 23-year-old deputy captain. What kind of person was he? He must have climbed up there on a rocket.

But no one would question his ability. In the past two years, Luo Rui has solved many major cases in Shahe County, especially the recently solved century-long serial murder case, in which the murderer had been on the run for fifteen years and was arrested by him. The impact of this case was so great and the number of victims was so large that it spanned three counties.

At that time, when Luo Rui's criminal team captured the suspect, Lu Kangming immediately held a press conference at the Linjiang City Airport, and with the help of the ministry's publicity, the Shahe County Bureau stole the limelight.

Throughout Haidong Province, anyone who pays attention to legal news knows the name Luo Rui.

There was jealousy in these people's eyes, but they were not jealous of Luo Rui's promotion. Instead, they were extremely envious of Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo.

Everyone was secretly complaining in their hearts that these two guys, one was a colleague of Luo Rui, and the other was a police officer at Wuyuan Police Station. Just because they followed the right person, they have now turned from a sparrow into a phoenix and flown to the top of the tree.

But who can say anything? As soon as they saw the medals pinned on the two men's police uniforms, the jealousy in everyone's hearts faded away. Although they followed the right person, they also fought for it with their lives.

Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo stood straight. They looked at each other and could see the relief in each other's eyes.

Besides, Yang Bo held Zheng Rong's hand gratefully: "Sir Zheng."

He did not forget what Zheng Rong said to them when Luo Rui first reported to the Wuyuan Police Station: Follow Luo Rui, and you will be able to move up.

Zheng Rong patted his hands and said, "Bo Zai, be well and keep working hard."

Yang Bo wiped his eyes and nodded solemnly: "Chief Zheng, I will definitely not bring shame to our Wuyuan Police Station."

"That's the best."

Then, Zheng Rong looked at Luo Rui and said, "Congratulations, kid."

"Master, how about you come with me? Linjiang City can hire you back. You are very good at interrogation, and the city bureau must be in need of talents like you. Besides, your illness is not completely cured yet, and living in the city will also be convenient for you to have a follow-up examination."

"Forget it. I'm used to staying in a small place. Besides, I've never left Shahe County in my entire career as a police officer. If you ask me to go to an unfamiliar place, I won't be able to find it anywhere." Luo Rui sighed and said, "Master, would you please reconsider this?"

Zheng Rong smiled and patted his shoulder: "Why are you still thinking about it? I'm over 60 years old, my legs and feet are not in good condition, I can't even run.

You are the last disciple I accepted. To be honest, I didn’t teach you anything. I feel ashamed when you call me Master.”

Having said that, Zheng Rong turned to Luo Rui, stretched out his hands, and almost tremblingly helped Luo Rui straighten his collar.

"I have been a police officer for forty years and have trained ten apprentices. Two of them died, and the other eight are working at the grassroots level. You are the one who has gone the furthest and flown the highest, but I am also the one I am most worried about, Luo Rui. There are endless criminals to catch. When you feel heartbroken, remember to take a breath."

"Yes, Master!" Luo Rui pursed his lips and raised his hand to salute him.

Afterwards, under the escort of the county bureau, ten police cars led the way and sent Lu Kangming, Luo Rui and his party out of Shahe County.

Luo Rui sat in the car, constantly looking back. The distant mountains, the sandy river, and the villagers walking on the muddy road carrying baskets on their backs, all of these had gone far away.

Lu Kangming sat in the car and patted his knees: "Luo Rui, don't be depressed, there is a way forward."

Luo Rui smiled.

Lu Kangming's expression changed from melancholy to worried.

He was right. There was a road ahead, but it was a long way. Lu Kangming was very nervous about taking up a new post in a new place, and in a municipal bureau.

Luo Rui didn't have this feeling. Although Linjiang City was not the Linjiang City of the past, he knew all the police officers in the Municipal Bureau. He could control the grassroots police officers below, and Lu Kangming would mediate with him if he had to deal with the higher-ups.

This arrangement from above is probably intended to make his work easier, but as a deputy director in charge of criminal affairs, Lu Kangming has to deal with the leaders above him, and he is not sure about these people's personalities.

Luo Rui saw that he was worried, and started to talk to him about work: "Director Lu, the new director of Linjiang City is Tang Zhiguo. He also holds a position in the city. He is kind and has no bad habits. His son is studying at a university in Dicheng, and his wife works in the Culture and Education Bureau. The house he lives in is not allocated by the unit..."

Seeing him talking nonstop, Lu Kangming raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you know so much?"

"Old Wei told me."

"Wei Qunshan?"

Luo Rui leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You are now a deputy director, so you have less things to worry about. Of course, you have to communicate with the leaders about everything. Think about it, these people from my Haijiang Branch left with us, why didn't they go back to their own units?"

Hearing this, Lu Kangming thought for a moment and smiled: "I was saying that Director Wei is really smart."

Luo Rui nodded: "Tang Zhiguo can give face to Lao Wei, which is actually giving face to us. Don't worry, Director Lu, we just need to do our job well, there won't be much problem."

Lu Kangming let out a long breath, his expression became more relaxed, and he began to hum a song...

Wei Qunshan used to be the deputy director of Linjiang City, and was later transferred to Haijiang Branch. Although he doesn't seem prominent, as someone in the middle of the situation, everyone knows how his brother-in-law was arrested.

Hu Changyu got into trouble, but Wei Qunshan was fine, and he even helped his old partner get back together. His ability is probably hard to estimate...

After the two chatted and laughed for a while, the convoy arrived in Linjiang City.

Looking at the prosperity of the prefecture-level city, Lu Kangming became proud and heroic again.

The Municipal Bureau had also prepared a welcome ceremony long ago, which was still held in the courtyard below the Municipal Bureau building.

A team of hundreds of people consisting of police officers, special police, public security brigades, etc. stood in several neat rows.

After Lu Kangming and his group got off the car, Tang Zhiguo led a group of people and shook hands with him enthusiastically.

"Director Lu, welcome, welcome."

"Oh, you are too kind to me. I am the deputy, the deputy..." Lu Kangming quickly clarified his identity and corrected his attitude. The other party wanted to put him on the fire.

"Director Tang, you can arrange your work in the future. I, Old Lu, will definitely ensure that the tasks are completed and will never hinder you."

"Okay, okay." Tang Zhiguo smiled, let go of his hand and looked at Luo Rui who saluted him.

"Captain Luo, I've heard of your great name for a long time. I've been excited for days that you can come to work in our Municipal Bureau."

Luo Rui was startled and first glanced at Kang Bolin behind the other person. Kang Bolin blinked at him.

"Director Tang, you are too kind. I am also a deputy, a deputy..."

Tang Zhiguo chuckled and shook his hand enthusiastically: "You and Berlin are so close, do you still think I don't know? Before you joined the police, you helped the Linjiang Municipal Bureau solve several major cases. This is the first step you have taken.

Don't feel stressed, just feel like you're back home, and work hard. The city's crime-solving rate depends on you and Berlin."

Luo Rui looked at him with a smile. From the other person's face, he could see that there was enthusiasm without any other micro-expressions. It seemed that Tang Zhiguo was indeed determined to improve the image of the Municipal Bureau.

Not only the grassroots police, but even the ordinary people of Linjiang City know that since Hu Changyu stepped down and Qinggui Chen Hao was transferred, Linjiang City's public security and crime-solving rate have been the lowest in Haidong Province.

Hu Changyu put in a lot of effort to get Luo Rui transferred to a familiar place. After all, this was his old unit, and no one wanted to see the current situation.

Luo Rui immediately promised: "Director Tang, don't worry, I will do my best."

"That's good, that's good!" Tang Zhiguo patted him on the shoulder, then led them to the front of the team and introduced Lu Kangming and Luo Rui to everyone.

Lu Kangming looked solemn and dignified, and everyone saluted him.

When Tang Zhiguo called Luo Rui's name, the team burst into warm applause, which was even more enthusiastic than the welcome for Lu Kangming.

All the police officers in the Municipal Bureau, big and small, knew Luo Rui's background. He started out as a prostitution fighter and helped Hu Changyu crack the largest jewelry and escort truck robbery case in Haidong Province since the millennium. Not to mention the recent major criminal cases of child trafficking and hiring illegal workers at Jiuling Coal Mine, which were also solved by him.

If we talk about the people with the highest prestige in the minds of the municipal police officers, apart from Hu Changyu, they are Qing Gui and Luo Rui, and Luo Rui's reputation has surpassed Chen Hao.

After some acquaintance, Lu Kangming began to express his thoughts on taking office. He only talked about his future work. He wisely did not talk about anything big.

Just kidding. To put it in a broader sense, what does Tang Zhiguo think of you?
The general direction still needs to be steered by the owner.

Luo Rui also said a few simple words, without encouraging the police officers below, nor did he give any guarantees, and he couldn't guarantee anything.

People, no matter what the occasion, it is better to keep a low profile. If you talk too much, people will think you are trying to show off your power.

Next, Tang Zhiguo and Kang Bolin took them to familiarize themselves with the working environment and various departments of the Municipal Bureau.

Compared with the Shahe County Bureau, the departments of the Municipal Bureau are slightly more specialized. For example, the command center is located in another building. It is large and spacious, and the telephones and computers are brand new.

Kang Bolin introduced: "This building has just been completed. In the future, it will be the center of the Skynet system, connecting countless surveillance cameras in every corner of the city. Criminals will have nowhere to hide. I really look forward to that day."

Luo Rui blinked: "Even if you wear a mask and change your gender, you still can't escape the precise screening of big data."

"Is it that powerful?"

"Of course, Lao Kang, when high-end technology comes out, the first places to use it are the army and our police system."

"That's quite mysterious. If it's true, then our job as a police officer will be much easier. I hope so."

Next, Luo Rui and Lu Kangming became familiar with several departments of criminal technology science, and chatted with several leaders of traffic police, public security and other departments for a long time.

There is also a banquet in the evening. After all, eating is for work. After toasting each other, the whole reception procedure is completed.

At twelve o'clock late in the night, Luo Rui returned home. This two-bedroom apartment was his parents' old home.

The house has been uninhabited for a long time and there is a musty smell in the house, but the furnishings in the house are still the same as before.

Before leaving, he was still a high school graduate. After coming back, he had become the deputy captain of the criminal police brigade. In just a few years, he had achieved great success in his career. Luo Rui felt dazed.

Luo Rui opened the window to let in fresh air, washed up briefly, and then returned to his bedroom.

Lying on the familiar bed, Luo Rui fell asleep quickly.

The next morning, he seemed to hear his parents calling him to go to school, but after he woke up, he realized it was a dream.

Luo Rui got dressed and went downstairs to have a quick breakfast near their small restaurant.

The small restaurant has long been deserted and replaced by a small supermarket, and it no longer looks like it used to.

The original Tianlong Hotel was transformed into a small accessories sales center.

The boss of the breakfast shop brought a bowl of millet porridge, stared at Luo Rui, and asked uncertainly: "Are you Lao Luo's son?"

Luo Rui had a bun on his chopsticks. He quickly stuffed the bun into his mouth, lowered his head, and said incoherently: "Uncle, you got the wrong person. My name is Fang Yonghui."

"Fang Yonghui? I think you look like the kid from the Luo family..."

Hearing this, the diners next to him also said: "Speaking of this person, our city started to crack down on prostitution at that time..."

Another customer also began to agree: "Who said it wasn't true? There's not a single hair salon left in the Tianlong Hotel or the alleys of Huashi Street..."

Luo Rui didn't dare to stay long. He paid the bill and prepared to leave. However, at this moment, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

The call was from the Municipal Bureau.

The other party said, "Captain Luo, we received a report that a headless corpse was found at the garbage station in the south of the city. Director Lu asked you to come over quickly."

"Okay, I got it!" Luo Rui put away his phone, walked out of the breakfast shop, and got into his red Mazda.

The boss who had asked him a question earlier looked at his departing figure, curled his lips, and sighed. "This kid is really amazing. He became the captain of a detachment at such a young age. He is really great..."
