Chapter 164: Alert Ah San
Xiaoqin's words opened everyone's eyes.
In the 1980s and 1990s, TV dramas with police as the theme were also popular for a while. At that time, there were often reports of solving crimes with the date of the crime as the title. Now the prime time slots are dominated by mother-in-law and daughter-in-law infighting, harem fights, and girlfriends fighting. The police that people can come into contact with on a daily basis are mostly community police and traffic police. Those scouts who fight on the front line are gradually losing their topic because they are out of people's sight. People have no way to know more about them, but as long as this profession exists, it is destined to be the most dangerous and special.
Ah Si asked: "Do you often go on missions like this?"
Xiaoqin said: "If it's not a special situation, I usually just play a supporting role, pretending to be a passerby, asking around and so on. Criminals are often less vigilant towards women, so sometimes we will go into battle ourselves."
Ah Si asked, "How did you decide to become a police officer?"
Without waiting for Xiaoqin to speak, Lei Tingting said, "Let me guess, your father is a policeman, and you have always wanted to be a hero like him?"
Xiaoqin said: "My father is a warehouse manager of a state-owned enterprise."
Ah Si asked, "So your mother is a police officer?"
"My mom is an administrator in my dad's unit." Xiaoqin smiled helplessly, "It seems that you have all been badly influenced by TV dramas, as if children become police officers to carry on their parents' wishes."
Lei Tingting blushed. Although Lei Xiaohu was alive and well, Lei Tingting would definitely not be willing to retire and let his daughter take over. This meant that parents had limited influence on finding a job, and it still depended on personal wishes...
Ah Si asked, "Why is that?"
"I like it." Xiaoqin said, "Do I need a reason to like a job?"
Ah Si said seriously, "Of course you need to. Being a doctor is to treat people. Isn't being a policeman to eliminate violence and protect the good?"
Xiaoqin said, "Maybe you're right. Anyway, I didn't think too much about it at first. I just wasn't interested in girls' toys since I was a child. I became a police officer without knowing what was going on. Later, I found that this job was just my freaking favorite."
Ah Si said: "You were born to like fighting and killing, right?"
Xiaoqin pondered for a moment and said, "How should I put it? You may have a misunderstanding of our profession. Doctors cannot just hold a scalpel and perform surgery every day. Most of their daily workload is spent in the endless inquiries of patients. They have to deal with all kinds of trivialities. It is impossible for them to remind themselves all the time that they have the great ideal of curing diseases and saving lives. They do not slack off or change careers in the trivialities of day after day. This is not forgetting the original intention. It is the same for us. What we do most every day is a lot of seemingly tedious, repetitive and boring work. Only with solid investigations and first-hand information can we have the confidence to take action, because we are fighting against evil and there is no room for error. The instructor also said in class at school, don't think that you will only face gunfire and rain of bullets in the future. If you are facing gunfire and rain of bullets every day, how chaotic will our country be?"
Ah Si said with emotion: "You said it very well."
Xiaoqin smiled and said, "Our instructor said that our work is more like weeding. We need to carefully and impartially identify the poisonous weeds in this society, and when we find them, we need to pull them out safely without harming the innocent. This is the meaning of our work. The joy of successfully removing a poisonous weed is something most people cannot experience at all. Have you ever squeezed a poisonous boil? How satisfying it is when you squeezed it out."
Lei Tingting put down her chopsticks and whispered to Zhang Nianzu: "This sister still has a heavy taste."
Ah Si picked up a piece of meat and put it on Xiaoqin's plate and said, "You've worked hard. Have a piece of beef tongue."
Xiaoqin said, "Why are you only talking about me? The main purpose of our coming out is to understand your situation. When Captain Peng gave us the task, the time was very tight and we barely had time to say anything. How did Jia Ba's batch of goods end up in your hands?"
Zhang Nianzu and the others looked at each other, worrying about how to explain. Captain Peng was willing to take the risk of asking them to cooperate because he knew their background, including Lei Tingting's background and Zhang Nianzu's ethnic background. That is to say, the reason why such a huge amount of drugs ended up in Zhang Nianzu's hands was that although the process was not in accordance with the rules, it was logical and in line with Captain Peng's understanding of the strongman race. Now facing a police officer who hates evil, this set of rhetoric is a bit shocking - should we tell her directly that these things were prepared to be captured in exchange for hostages, but in the end we didn't use them so we returned them to the police? Or did we accidentally find a truckload of unclaimed laundry detergent on the side of the road and wanted to take it back, but found out that it was a bad thing...
Seeing no one talking wondered, "What's wrong?"
Ah Si stammered, "Anyway, we are not bad people."
"Who said you are bad people?" Xiaoqin said with a smile, "I just want to know what happened."
"This..." Zhang Nianzu said, "It's a bit complicated. It was just a coincidence. As for the details, you can ask Captain Peng when you have time." After thinking it over, he could only put the blame on Captain Peng.
Xiaoqin was stunned, then said, "Well, you are right to be careful. It is right to remain vigilant. Captain Peng has only filed a case with our director. The fewer people who know about this, the better."
Zhang Nianzu knew that she had misunderstood, but he had no way to explain it.
At this time, Xiaoqin had changed the subject and asked, "I heard that when Captain Peng first wanted you to cooperate, you were not happy?"
Ah San raised his head from his eating frenzy and said, "Because we didn't know what kind of person Jia Ba was at that time."
Xiaoqin nodded and said, "That's right. No one wants to go against someone after hearing that he is a vicious drug dealer. This is normal. But I still say that I will protect you. Not harming innocent people is always our first rule, not to mention that you are now an informant for the police."
Zhang Nianzu sighed. It was useless to say anything now. Xiaoqin must be very disappointed when facing a group of cowardly informants who had no trust in her at all. If it weren't for the mission, she would definitely walk away with her personality.
A few people were eating in silence when a dozen young people, both men and women, ran in from outside. They were in high spirits because they had just drunk some wine. As soon as they came in, they asked for food, and the waiter hurriedly arranged a table for them.
One of the young men, who was drunk and had a red face, glanced over here and shouted, "Isn't there a big table over there?" He staggered over and sat down next to Zhang Nianzu, put his arm around Zhang Nianzu's shoulders and said with a smile, "Let's change places?"
Zhang Nianzu glanced at him and said, "Brother, we have already eaten half of it."
"It's okay. I'll help you move your things—" the young man said as he went to pick up the charcoal brazier in the middle of the table. He quickly pulled his hand back after being burned. He simply laughed and called the group of people he brought with him, "Come on, come on, let's eat at this table."
A group of people swarmed over, reeking of alcohol, and started to help people move.
Zhang Nianzu held the cup down, stared at the young man and asked, "Did I agree?"
The young man was frightened by his gaze, and after a burp, he tilted his neck and shouted: "We have more people!"
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Nianzu. Even Xiaoqin put down her chopsticks and looked at him amusemently. It was a case of the majority bullying the minority, and the other side was always in the wrong. It seemed that Xiaoqin didn't mind taking action if a conflict arose.
Ah San leaned close to Zhang Nianzu's ear and said, "Brother Nianzu, there is a ghost here!"
"What's wrong?" Zhang Nianzu wondered.
"People who are drunk will just keep looking for more wine. Why are they suddenly here to eat barbecue? I think they are Jia Ba's accomplices!" Ah San lowered his voice and said, "Brother Nianzu , say something and I will kill them all right away!"
