South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Old Ma fell silent. He was a man who clearly distinguished between public and private matters. He did not want the next generation to get involved in the grudges of the previous generation, otherwise he would have told Ma Yan about this matter long ago. Otherwise, he would not have gone to so much trouble to teach Wang Xin skills, and even run around looking for evidence for him when something happened.

Even so, he would not allow Wang Xin to date his daughter. He felt uncomfortable when he thought of Ma Yan calling that man "Dad".

Of course, this would be uncomfortable for anyone, it’s human nature, but it’s right in front of us, what can we do?

"Lao Ma, I can understand you, but things are like this, and we are powerless. This matter cannot be changed. Okay, I won't advise you on this matter anymore. After all, it's your family affair. Let's have a drink." Yuan Mu sighed and then picked up the wine glass.

Old Ma nodded, then picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Yuan Mu, and drank it all in one gulp.

Just then, Ma Yan's voice came from the door.

"Mom, what delicious food are you making?"

"Oh, Uncle Yuan is here too!" Ma Yan walked into the house with a smile.

"Hmph!" Ma Kui snorted coldly.

"Hey, Dad, who has offended you again?"

"Who else could it be? Look at the time it is and you just came back. How can a grown woman like you behave?" Ma Kui frowned.

"Okay, Old Ma, let's eat and stop talking about the children!" At this time, Wang Sufang walked into the house with dishes and said.

Lao Ma rolled his eyes immediately. What else could he say? Wang Sufang couldn't be angry now. Although she was in better health, she still had to be careful.

The next morning, in the Criminal Police Team, Captain Jiang’s office.

"Captain Jiang, are you looking for me?" Yuan Mu knocked on the door and walked into the office.

"Oh, Xiao Yuan is here, come and sit down." Captain Jiang smiled warmly.

Yuan Mu nodded and then sat opposite Captain Jiang.

"Come and take a look at this." Captain Jiang handed a document to Yuan Mu.

I thought it was some kind of case, but it seemed wrong. After a while I found out that the bureau was going to hold a shooting competition. All the public security departments, branches, sub-departments under the Railway Public Security Bureau and the police stations, passenger police teams and criminal police teams under these units could send one police officer to participate in the competition.

The scale of this competition is not small. The Railway Public Security Bureau is at the official department level, and its superior department is the Ministry of Railways.

The entire Ningyang Railway Public Security Bureau has jurisdiction over not just Ningyang, but also areas like Huatong Public Security Office, Chengbai Public Security Office, Bianyan Public Security Office and so on. All of these areas are under the jurisdiction of the Ningyang Railway Public Security Bureau.

The full name of the criminal police team where Yuan Mu is located should be Ningyang Railway Public Security Bureau, Ningyang Public Security Department, Ningyang Public Security Branch, Criminal Police Team. This is a level down. The Railway Public Security Bureau is a department-level unit, the Public Security Department is a department-level unit, and the branch is a deputy department-level unit. When it comes to the criminal police team or the passenger police team below, it is a section-level unit.

The current Ministry of Railways has not yet undergone reform and is implementing a four-level management model, namely Ministry of Railways-Railway Bureau-Railway Branch-Station Section. The Ministry of Railways has a Public Security Bureau, the Railway Bureau has a Public Security Department, and the Railway Branch has a Public Security Branch.

So the scale of the shooting competition held this time is very large. It is estimated that there will be dozens of participants, and the scene will be quite spectacular.

This shooting competition was also mentioned in the drama, but it was probably not as large-scale as this one. The scale of the one in the drama was more like a competition organized by a branch.

Yuan Mu continued to read on. This competition involved not only shooting competitions, but also fighting competitions and physical fitness competitions.

The shooting competition is not just about pistol shooting, it also includes rifle shooting, as well as the disassembly and installation of pistols.

The fighting competition is a two-on-two fight, and the physical fitness competition is a five-kilometer competition to see who can run faster.

Yuan Mu gradually became interested. If it was just a shooting competition, he really wouldn't be too interested. Now it involves a wide range of aspects. Although it is quite simple, it is indeed good in this era.

"Captain Jiang, what do you mean?"

"Xiao Yuan, everyone in our team knows about your skills and marksmanship, so our leadership team held a private meeting and unanimously agreed that you should go. Only you can win honor for our criminal police team! Do you have the confidence to accomplish it?" Captain Jiang said with a smile.

"Yes! I promise to complete the task!"

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

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the competition.

The police officers selected from various branches under the Ningyang Railway Public Security Bureau have arrived, a total of ninety-eight of them, all wearing Type 72 police uniforms and looking energetic.

The competition was held at a shooting range in Ningyang. This shooting range was previously used by the military unit, but now that the military unit has relocated, the shooting range is vacant, making it a perfect place to host this competition.

There was already a row of leaders sitting on the rostrum. In the middle was the head of the Railway Public Security Bureau, Director Zhang Shaohuai. The others were leaders from various departments and branches, more than a dozen of them. There were even two military personnel, said to be the Deputy Chief of Staff and Deputy Political Minister Wei of the Ningyang Military Region.

[Thank you for the gift from Zhang Shaohuai, the top brother on the list. The head of Ningyang Railway Public Security Bureau must be yours.]

In addition to the police officers participating in the competition, there were also many police officers maintaining order, because there were many onlookers and family members of the police officers outside.

The first event of the competition is the disassembly of the Type 54 pistol and shooting at 30 meters. Each person has five bullets. In other words, you need to disassemble and then assemble a pistol before you can start shooting. The person with the shortest time and the most shooting rings wins.

The second event is shooting at moving targets thirty meters away with a Type 54 pistol. There are also five targets. The one who hits the most targets in the shortest time wins.

The third item is the disassembly of the rifle, shooting at 100 meters, with ten bullets per person. The winner is the one with the shortest time and the most shooting rings.

The fourth event is rifle shooting at a 100-meter moving target. There are ten targets, and the one who hits the most targets in the shortest time wins.

The fifth item is a fighting competition. Ninety-eight people draw lots to choose their opponents, and the elimination system is adopted.

The sixth event is the last one, which is a five-kilometer cross-country race, but this one is different from that in the army, there is no weight.

After the host announced the rules of the competition, teams of police officers came to the designated locations. Each group had ten people shooting. In front of each person was a small table covered with camouflage cloth, on which was a Type 54 pistol and five bullets.

Next to each person stood a soldier wearing Type 7 or 8 military uniform. These were soldiers transferred from the Ningyang Military Region to serve as safety officers and guides for the competition.

There was an officer standing next to them with a whistle around his neck. When he blew the whistle, it meant the start of the game. At this time, the first group was already in position, waiting for the officer's order.
