South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Time always flies quickly, and it is September in a blink of an eye. In a few days, Yuan Mu will report to Kyoto University of Political Science and Law.

During this period of time, Yuan Mu handled all the things he could, whether they were related to work or life.

Yuan Mu also cured Wang Yongge, but Yuan Mu warned Wang Yongge and Wang Xin not to reveal his unique skills to others.

A few days after Wang Yongge was discharged from the hospital, the Wang family and the Ma family sat together for a meal again. Yuan Mu accompanied them and acted as a peacemaker.

This matter is a vicious circle. If it gets serious, the Ma family and the Wang family will never have any contact with each other again. But there is the relationship between Ma Yan and Wang Xin.

Wang Xin is not only Ma Kui's apprentice, but also Ma Yan's boyfriend. This is not something that can be given up so easily.

After all, Wang Xin and Ma Yan have been playing together since childhood. Whenever Ma Yan was bullied, Wang Xin was the first to rush to help her. This kind of relationship is something that most people cannot give up, especially during the eight years that Ma Kui has been in prison.

Without her father's protection, Ma Yan's image of Wang Xin suddenly became prominent. Even if Ma Yan was worried about Ma Kui's cruelty and cut off ties with Wang Xin, she would not be happy in the second half of her life.

What's more, there is Wang Sufang. She has a relatively gentle personality and her life is getting better and better. She doesn't want to cause trouble in her life, so it's good to just let it go.

During this period, Ma Yan and Wang Xin had more frequent contact, and Ma Kui no longer had the upset mood he had before, so he just let it go.

Now Wang Yongge would be three inches shorter when he saw Ma Kui. Who could blame him for the sin? For the sake of his guilt and his son's future happiness, he was willing to be lower than Ma Kui.

The criminal police team recently transferred in a new captain, and the superiors have approved the materials submitted by Yuan Mu and agreed to allow Comrade Ma Kui to take up the position of deputy captain of the criminal police team.

The newly transferred captain of the criminal police team is about 40 years old, about the same age as Lao Ma. He is also a veteran criminal policeman with sufficient experience. Yuan Mu's going to school this time also gave him an opportunity, otherwise he would have never known when he would be able to get the position of a full-time officer.

Not all qualified people can be promoted. There are only so many fixed positions in a company, but there are many qualified people. What should we do? At this time, we have to look at ability, strength, and connections. If any of them is missing, it will not work.

Therefore, in officialdom, taking sides is a science. If you take the right side, you will be promoted rapidly. If you take the wrong side, I'm sorry, you have to stand aside. When you retire and become a deputy section chief, you still have to thank the organization for training you.

Yuan Mu's reporting date is September 10th, and Yuan Mu plans to leave a few days earlier in order to familiarize himself with the environment of Kyoto and also to report to the Kyoto Railway Public Security Bureau, after all, he is on a temporary assignment there.

At the same time, Yuan Mu had another purpose, which was to visit Mr. Zhou. After all, there was such a relationship between them. Wouldn’t it be a pity if you didn’t use it?

On September 2nd, Yuan Mu said goodbye to everyone in the compound, and boarded the train to Kyoto with the farewell of Lao Ma, Wang Xin, Ma Yan, Mingyu, Ayun, Youyu and others.

Looking at the surrounding scenery along the way, Yuan Mu was thoughtful for a moment. He had been to Kyoto more than once in his previous life, but this life was his second time to Kyoto.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

After more than ten hours of bumpy ride, Yuan Mu finally arrived in Kyoto. At this time, Yuan Mu was standing on the platform of Kyoto Station.

Since he didn't have to go on a mission this time, he also splurged and bought a sleeper ticket, but it was a hard sleeper. Soft sleepers in this era required a letter of introduction and some formalities, which was very troublesome, so Yuan Mu didn't think it would be so troublesome.

The hard sleeper train was pretty good. I could lie down on it and take a nap and arrive directly at my destination. I lit a cigarette, threw the butt into the trash can after smoking it, and then walked straight to the exit with my luggage.

It was already past three in the morning. This was the time Yuan Mu had specially chosen. He set out at around two in the afternoon on the 2nd and arrived in Kyoto in the early morning of the 3rd.

At this time, Yuan Mu did not go anywhere, but carried his luggage and walked all the way to Tiananmen Square. This is why he chose to arrive at this time.

He had seen the flag-raising ceremony many times in his previous life, but he had never seen it in this life, so he had to watch it.

The walk from Kyoto Station to Tiananmen Square is less than three kilometers, so Yuan Mu can easily walk there.

When we arrived at Tiananmen Square, it was already past four in the morning. The sky was already bright and many people had gathered near Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

The flag-raising ceremony is something that almost everyone who comes to Kyoto must see, and it is something that is engraved in their bones.

Tiananmen Square is the absolute center of Kyoto. It is more than 800 meters long from north to south and more than 500 meters wide from east to west, with a total area of ​​440,000 square meters. It can accommodate up to one million people for grand gatherings.

In the center of the square stands the Monument to the People's Heroes and the solemn and dignified Memorial Hall of Great Men.

The flagpole stands at the first position along the central axis of Kyoto from north to south.

Yuan Mu came to the position on the east side of the flagpole, which is the best place to watch the flag-raising ceremony, and then he waited quietly.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was five forty in the morning. Two soldiers in military uniforms and carrying the national flag came from a distance and slowly walked towards the flagpole.

Yuan Mu immediately stood up, looking straight ahead, watching the red flag getting closer and closer. The people around him also spontaneously quieted down and watched this scene quietly.

The flag-raising ceremony at that time was relatively simple. There was no flag squad like in later generations. There were only two soldiers from the Kyoto Garrison. Moreover, the national anthem was not played when the flag was raised at this time.

As two soldiers tied the national flag to the flagpole, at the moment the red flag was raised, Yuan Mu solemnly raised his right hand and saluted the national flag with a standard military salute.

At the same time, he unconsciously hummed the song. Although the national anthem of this era had been changed, the version Yuan Mu hummed in the end was indeed the later version.

"Arise! People who will not be slaves!"

"Use our flesh and blood to build our new Great Wall!"

.........

"stand up!"

"stand up!"

"stand up!"

"We are united as one, braving the enemy's fire and moving forward!"

"Forward! Forward, under enemy fire!"

"Forward! Forward!"
