Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

"Brother, we are victims too, don't blame everything on the police,"

The resident whose car was stolen gave him a disdainful look.

"Whose fault is it if not yours? You couldn't find out when the bike was stolen, and you couldn't find out when they smeared you. You deserve it."

After being berated by this group for so long, Cao Jianjun couldn't take it anymore and, contrary to his previous mild demeanor,...

He stared sharply at the person who spoke.

"How dare you speak like that? Try saying it again!"

Cao Jianjun's posture suggested he was about to attack someone, which frightened the resident whose car had been stolen.

Cao Jianjun then said sternly,

"Who are we here for? Yes, your car wasn't found, but the car theft case has been solved, and at least one car has been recovered."

Tell me, we police officers put in a lot of effort for case 16. We deserve credit for our hard work, even if we didn't achieve anything. How come we deserve this?

I will definitely investigate the mudslinging, but ultimately it's just a matter of his character.

"And you got splashed too, so why do we deserve it? And you don't deserve it?"

The resident whose car was stolen was speechless after Cao Jianjun's words, and the surrounding crowd immediately fell silent.

The auxiliary police officer also stepped forward to persuade him.

"Everyone, please disperse for now. We will continue searching for the missing vehicle."

Seeing that nothing had come of it, people gradually began to disperse.

Cao Jianjun brushed the vegetable leaves that had been splashed on his shoulder, then turned around and joined the auxiliary police officer in persuading the crowd.

Across the street, in front of another residential building, the scene was completely different.

Eight stolen electric bikes, adorned with red ribbons and decorations, were surrounded by enthusiastic onlookers, including the owners.

Upon seeing Wu Mingcheng, Xia Jie, Yang Shu, and the others, they felt as if they were seeing family and quickly went to greet them.

As they got off the bus, Sister Feng, who had come up that day, grabbed Wu Mingcheng's hand and started shaking it.

"We've been waiting for you! We've been here since early this morning. Xiao Wu, thank you so much! This GPS installation was definitely worth it."

Wu Mingcheng calmly withdrew his hand, then asked,

"Sister Feng, which one is your car?"

Sister Feng pointed at one of the eight electric bikes.

"That red one, I even brought the keys,"

Wu Mingcheng returned the red electric scooter to Sister Feng, and enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the crowd.

Yang Shu and Li Da were moved, excited, and proud when they saw this scene.

At this point, more and more owners came out to claim their lost electric bikes, and the atmosphere became even more lively.

Some kind-hearted citizens even presented a banner to the police, which Li Da and the others quickly accepted.

Mr. Xie, the owner of the lost item, took the form from the police officer and, while signing it, said with some disbelief,

"Thank you so much! I wasn't even planning to get it back, this is such a pleasant surprise!"

Mr. Xie returned the signed book to the police and excitedly stepped forward to shake Wu Mingcheng's hand.

"Little Tongzhi, thank you so much!"

Wu Mingcheng responded with a smile.

"Sir, this is what we should do. Protecting the lives and property of the people is our duty as police officers."

Upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, the surrounding residents applauded and cheered loudly.

"Good, well said,"

Compared to the tense atmosphere and potential conflict on Cao Jianjun's side, the situation on Wu Mingcheng's side was much more amicable, with everyone ending up happy.

The next day, at the police station's routine meeting, Wang Shouyi stood at the front and spoke.

"I know that some of you solved the case and were praised by the public, while others were complained about or even scolded. You must feel wronged,"

Upon hearing Wang Shouyi's words, some senior police officers immediately began to jeer.

“We’re used to it,”

Everyone burst into laughter at this moment.

Wang Shouyi's face darkened.

"What's so funny? The case is solved, but the car hasn't been returned, so it's understandable that the public has some complaints."

You've lost thousands of dollars for nothing, don't you feel bad? Are they blaming us?

They weren't actually unaware; they were blaming the thief…

Someone else made a joke.

"They blame the thief, but in the end, we're the ones who suffer."

Everyone laughed again, and one person chimed in.

"Who told you to be a cop? If you're a cop, what's wrong with getting a few complaints?"

At this moment, Wang Shouyi clapped his hands.

"That's right. In the eyes of ordinary people, the police are representatives of public power."

If you fail to protect the people, it's normal for them to feel resentful and complain.

907 As long as we truly do our work for the people, the people will praise us. What does this show?

This shows that we need to maintain a calm attitude. Whether we are praised or criticized, it is a reminder to do our job well.

Upon hearing this, and seeing the director's gaze, Yang Shu felt that the director was specifically targeting him, as if the entire large area was now empty except for him and the director.

Wang Shouyi began to speak again.

"If this case is solved, the police station will definitely reward you for your contributions."

There are still some older Tongzhi people who need to be pragmatic and realistic in their work.

In fact, everyone knew who Wang Shouyi was referring to; people glanced at Cao Jianjun, intentionally or unintentionally.

Almost everyone in the institute already knew that Cao Jianjun was taking credit for the new recruits' work, which made many people look down on him.

Cao Jianjun noticed the gazes of the crowd, his face darkened, and he felt extremely embarrassed. He clenched his fists tightly.

Out of consideration for Cao Jianjun and to save face for him in front of so many people, Wang Shouyi couldn't be too explicit about some things.

Chapter 483 Receiving the Banner

Wang Shouyi then smiled as he looked at the poplar tree.

"Yang Shu, you are more educated, which means you understand things faster and more comprehensively."

Police honors are based on how many good deeds you've done for the public. We shouldn't dwell too much on our own gains and losses.

Instead, think about what we have done for the people; this will broaden your perspective.

Wu Mingcheng noticed that Wang Shouyi was always glancing at him, intentionally or unintentionally, while he was saying these things.

These words were not only addressed to Yang Shu, but also to Wu Mingcheng.

After all, when it comes to this matter, Wu Mingcheng deserves the main credit.

Just then, the sound of gongs and drums came from outside, which aroused everyone's curiosity.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Dou from the office ran in.

"Chief, the neighborhood where the stolen electric bike was found has come to present us with a banner of appreciation!"

Wang Shouyi immediately beamed with joy and quickly said,

"Look, we were just doing our duty, but the people saw it all. Hurry up and accept the banner."

When they went outside, Wu Mingcheng recognized a familiar figure among the crowd.

That was Aunt Hu, who was so insistent on introducing Wu Mingcheng to potential partners that day, and also Sister Feng.

All the police officers in the station stood in formation on both sides, at attention and saluting, while Aunt Hu and about ten other members of the public stood to the side.

At this moment, Sister Feng, on behalf of the others, shook hands with Wang Shouyi and then went straight to Wu Mingcheng.

Then, she presented Wu Mingcheng with a banner that read "People's Police Serve the People."

"Xiao Wu, you're such a good policeman! We owe the recovery of our electric scooter so much to you all, and thank you for all the trouble you went to help us with the GPS."

Upon hearing Sister Feng's words, many police officers immediately looked at Cao Jianjun with amused expressions.

Cao Jianjun's face flushed red and then turned pale; he was utterly ashamed.

Wu Mingcheng feigned modesty, quickly waving his hand, then pointed at Cao Jianjun.

"Sister Feng, these electric bikes were all recovered by Officer Cao Jianjun, and he's the one who arrested the culprit. This banner should be given to Officer Cao."

Chen Xincheng and Zhang Zhijie exchanged a glance. This kid was too wicked; he was practically destroying Cao Jianjun's spirit.

Upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, Cao Jianjun wished he could disappear into the ground.
