What should I do then?
Zhou Liu looked at Wang Caizhi, who told him to continue, saying that the situation had stabilized and that only the finishing touches were left. Zhou Liu pulled the boss aside and asked him what he wanted to do. The boss said in embarrassment:
"I can't lose face like this. If I make such a scene, you'll see. All my customers will know that my pot of meat is not clean."
Saturday smiled and said:
"So what you're saying is that if no one sees it, we can just take the paper ball out?"
The boss stared at Zhou Liu for a long time, waved his hands quickly, and lowered his voice:
"Officer, you can't just say that. You'll have to take legal responsibility. You know how strict the current sanitation, epidemic prevention, fire protection, industry and commerce, and taxation inspections are. Look at my kitchen, which is a fully transparent large open space. Even if I serve pork mixed with mutton fat to customers, I may not be able to open the store tomorrow."
I dozed off most of Saturday:
"Then what do you think we should do?"
The boss's eyes swirled around the hairy man:
"This pot of meat is worth more than 10,000 yuan."
On Saturday, I called a bunch of hair over:
"How do you want to solve it?"
A handful of hair and two hands spread out:
"Officer, I'm still a student. I don't have any money."
Saturday's cold face:
"Call your mom."
Yi Tumao made a phone call, covering the receiver with her hand, with a bitter face, looking aggrieved like a young wife. It was obvious that she had already called her parents:
"My parents said that I could only buy that pot of meat. If I bought more, I would be put in jail and forced to work on a sewing machine."
Yi Tuomao even took the phone. Apparently his parents worked in the company. His father spoke in a more sophisticated way:
"The child is ignorant and has caused trouble for the police and the boss. We are wrong. The child is still young and it would be bad if the trouble got out of hand. Can we both take a step back? I am driving here now. I will apologize to everyone on behalf of my son! I will treat you to a drink some other day to make amends, okay?"
What it means is that you should never put it in the file. However, parents who care about their children take this very seriously, so they hope for mediation and do not want actual punishment.
For the sake of his son, this father completely gave up his face, even to the point of being a little servile.
Zhou Liuyi winked at the boss, who revealed a bitter and resentful expression:
"I see that you are also a student, a child, and I can't cheat you. Let's just follow the price list and pay the price. My pot of soup is indeed not boiled for a hundred years. If it is really a hundred years, the nitrite and seasoning must have become poisonous, and people would not dare to eat it.
That's the marinade inside, it's also worth three thousand yuan, can you give me an extra amount, do you think it's okay?"
Yitufao agreed with tears in his eyes.
There were at least 180 kilograms of stuff in that pot. Pork was 35 yuan per kilogram, pig intestines were 75 yuan per kilogram, and beef was 85 yuan per kilogram... Yi Tuomao looked at the price list and felt very distressed. His parents also said that they would not give him any money for food this year.
The shop assistant is weighing:
"15 jin of pig's trotters, 55 yuan per jin, a total of 825 yuan."
"Ten pounds of beef, eighty-five dollars a pound, a total of eight hundred and fifty dollars."
…
Now the onlookers no longer tease the boss, but are looking at the price of the pot of meat with great interest. The price has now risen to 14,000 yuan.
"I thought the naughty kid was just a kid I met during the Chinese New Year when I was visiting relatives. I didn't expect that he was still so naughty in his twenties and caused trouble to his parents."
"Take him away quickly."
"You just spent 20,000 yuan to buy a pot of meat, and you feel you can't bear it? I also heard that a naughty kid poured water on someone's piano when visiting relatives during the Spring Festival, and called it washing the piano. Not only did the naughty kid and his parents not admit their mistakes and compensate for the things, they also said that the other family was not generous. Later, the owner of the house told the naughty kid that all the pianos in the mall needed to be cleaned. If you can use Coke to clean them, you will definitely be praised by everyone. Guess what happened? The naughty kid filled the piano in the mall with Coke, and paid a full 2.8 million yuan in compensation, and even sold his house and car!"
I'm so regretful that my intestines are turning green.
On Saturday, he was called aside and criticized and educated:
"How old?"
A tuft of hair twitching:
"Twenty-one."
He is two years older than Zhou Liuyi, but his arrogance does not seem like that of an adult at all.
Saturday asked again:
"Where do you go to school?"
A handful of hair said:
“Sanjiang Vocational and Technical College.”
"What do you study?"
"Chemical industry."
Zhou Liuyi imitated the tone that Wang Caizhi used during the mediation:
"In another year, you will be working in a factory, right? Even if your major is a junior college, it won't be hard to find a job. But if the employer knows that you were punished for placing dangerous objects in public places, do you think they will still want you? I can notify your parents, your school, and your internship unit about this matter."
A tuft of hair was scolded a lot, and he hung his head and muttered quietly:
"Don't do that, or I'll be completely screwed!"
Saturday continued:
"You also know that you will die socially? You can ignore your own future, but you have to take other people's lives seriously."
The tuft of hair spoke in a lower and lower voice:
"I really didn't expect this matter to be so serious."
Saturday's forehead support:
"Go back and check carefully to see which of the crimes that seem minor are actually serious crimes. Your parents have solved this matter for you today, but you are an adult now, and you can't let others clean up your mess all the time."
A tuft of hair kept nodding.
Not long after, Yituimao's father arrived, apologized to the boss and the chefs, paid the bill, took the meat away, and stuffed his son into the car when he left:
"Over a hundred pounds of meat, enjoy it!"
"I told you not to cause trouble! Just stay here and reflect on your actions!"
…
In fact, he was worried that his son would say something rude and cause trouble again. The father apologized to the boss for a long time. The boss promised not to ferment the matter online, and then ran over to apologize to the two policemen. He repeatedly asked that it would not be recorded in the file, and then he was relieved:
"My son is about to graduate and start internship. I have contacted an internship company for him. This kid is really a worry. As parents, our greatest hope in this life lies in our children..."
Saturday's look was bleak.
It was already 3:30 in the morning when the case was dealt with and the night was as cold as water.
Zhou Liuyi and Wang Caizhi were walking on the street, and Wang Caizhi asked curiously:
"She's 20 years old and still causing trouble, why are you already working? Aren't you going to take the postgraduate entrance exam or continue your studies?"
Zhou Liu put one hand in his pocket, still feeling the cold, and sneezed violently. He looked at the road ahead, not at Wang Caizhi, and laughed cheerfully:
"Because I don't have a good father who can finish it for me."
Wang Caizhi just thought it was his complicated family affairs and didn't ask any more questions.
Before leaving, Wang Caizhi left them his business card. Zhou Liu was surprised that a policeman actually had a business card.
He took a look and saw that next to the police badge on the business card it said: Sanjiang City Longhua Street Police Station. Below it was a photo of Wang Caizhi wearing a police uniform. Obviously the photo was taken quite a while ago, as he didn't seem to have so many white hairs in the photo.
Then there is his name, next to his name is the community police officer, below is the emergency phone number of the station, his cell phone number, and the address of the police station.
The bottom line contains four words:
Loyalty, serving the people, justice and integrity.
Wang Caizhi repeatedly stated:
"I mediated this case. If there is anything, please don't get in conflict. Call me first. Our office is not far from here. You can go there or I can come over."
On the way to send this group of people back, Wang Caizhi felt a little tired. After all, he was not young anymore, but he still pulled himself together and gave Zhou Liu a lecture:
"In fact, some conflicts are not serious at the beginning. If we explain the reasons clearly, we can avoid a bloody accident. If we leave it alone, the resentment between the two sides will become deeper and deeper, and they may retaliate and trigger a bigger criminal case."
After lying down, Zhou Liuyi couldn't fall asleep at all. Wang Caizhi was also lying in the duty room, playing the game of Candy Crush on his mobile phone.
Saturday said:
"Brother Wang, we won't have any more police incidents in the second half of the night, right?"
Wang Caizhi glanced at him calmly:
“Have you been to the emergency room?”
Zhou Liu nodded, then shook his head, meaning that he had only seen a doctor but didn't know what the emergency room was like.
Wang Caizhi closed the game and chatted with Zhou Liuyi:
"In the emergency department, the duty room of our police station, and the fire department, there is this situation: when some people are on duty, everything is calm and there is no alarm, while when some people are on duty, there is no peace all night.
For example, when I am on duty, I will not have more than two police incidents in one night, and I can often sleep through the night."
Zhou Liuyi seemed to understand something and didn't dare to speak. He seemed to have become the person who would cause a lot of police incidents whenever he appeared.
At this time, someone called the police again, and a voice rang out in the duty room:
Please check if you have new police information!
Wang Caizhi was a very mild-tempered man, but now he lit a cigarette, got up and put on his police jacket, and said to Zhou Liu in a meaningful tone:
"I am old, not as young as you guys. I will not be on duty with you in the future."
The neighborhood where the police were called was not far away, and Zhou Liuyi and Wang Caizhi arrived quickly. The person who called the police was a middle-aged man who pulled Zhou Liuyi to the parking space and said:
"Why should I lock the parking space? I just bought this car when I got married. I have sent it for repair three times. I took time off every time. It cost me a lot of time and money. I am usually so busy at work. I just got off work at this time. I can't stand the hassle. I am now suffering from nervous breakdown..."
A skinny middle-aged woman in pajamas next to him was playing with her mobile phone, rolling her eyes from time to time and looking at the middle-aged man as if he were an idiot.
"Comrade police officer, you must help me. I can't live like this any longer!"
"Look at the scratches on my car!"
"The parking space's ground lock is too dangerous. You said it scratched my gas tank. If someone happens to smoke a cigarette here, will I be cremated directly?"
…
Wang Caizhi was originally smoking a cigarette to refresh himself, but now he quickly put out the cigarette.
Zhou Liuyi had just met old man Zhao tonight, and his trust in the person involved dropped sharply. He came over to ask the middle-aged woman, and the middle-aged woman put her phone in her pocket and said only one sentence:
"I paid 98,000 yuan for this parking space. I have told him several times not to park his car in my parking space, but he never listened."
Zhou Liuyi wanted to roar in his heart.
Is it wrong for people to lock their own parking spaces?
Is it wrong for someone to not allow others to park in their parking space?
…
There's nothing wrong with that.
The middle-aged man not only did not feel that he was wrong, but also argued:
"I've checked with the property management, and you don't have a car at all. You don't even have a car. The parking space is empty anyway. What's wrong with letting me use it?"
Still so righteous?
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she got angry and screamed:
"What's wrong with me not having a car? Why can't you let me buy one in the future? But you can't even afford a parking space. How can you be so shameless?"
Middle-aged men are just as imposing:
"You always keep watching me to see if I'm using your parking space. You deserve to be unable to buy a car!"
"I just watch our parking lot every day to see if there's any dog ​​pooping. I enjoy it. So what?"
"Who are you calling a dog? You are a psychopath!"
…
As they were talking, the two men were about to start taking action. It was already four o'clock in the morning and the cleaners in the neighborhood had already come out to work, watching the fun from afar in their yellow fluorescent vests.
Upstairs, the owners who heard the noise turned on the lights and gathered at the windows to watch the fun.
Zhou Liuyi and Wang Caizhi took great pains to pull the two emotional parties apart, but the man suddenly burst into tears:
"What can I do? The public parking space is more than a kilometer away from here, and I have to carry the remaining goods from my store back, which weigh 50 to 60 kilograms!"
The woman was even more bitter, pointing at his nose and angrily said:
"You are weak but you are right. Did I spend money to buy the parking space for you? Someone wanted to rent my parking space, but you ruined it, causing me to lose 700 yuan a month in profit. I paid 30,000 yuan for this parking space and took out a loan of 68,000 yuan! Are you my son? Why should I give it to you!"
…
The two sides were in a stalemate. Wang Caizhi watched the situation and tried to persuade them whenever he could. On Saturday, he went to the property and called the security guard on duty to come over to find out more about the situation.
This is obviously a deep-seated conflict, and both sides are very dissatisfied.
The security guards are also overwhelmed:
"Lao Fang and Sister Sun? Forget about them. They've fought a few times over trivial matters. Lao Fang got scratched on the face, and Sister Sun sprained her forearm ligament. But no one called the police at the time. It was handled by our community security guards. We were also scared when we saw them."
The security guard explained in detail for a long time, from Sister Sun taking away the plywood at the door of Lao Fang's house for renovation, to Lao Fang drying his quilt, and Sister Sun drying clothes upstairs, the water got Lao Fang's quilt dirty...
The list is simply too numerous to mention.
In fact, at the beginning, Lao Fang wanted to rent Sister Sun’s parking space, but he kept dragging his feet and not paying, so Sister Sun did not agree. Lao Fang thought that since he parked there every day, she would have to bear this loss slowly, so she had to agree reluctantly.
Who would have thought that Sister Sun would install a ground lock directly, and Lao Fang didn't see it and crashed into it directly. He spent several thousand yuan to repair the car, and then he was even more unwilling to pay a penny of rent.
The community security guards shook their heads repeatedly:
"Neither of these two owners is a good person!"
These two people get more angry than others because of the smallest things.
It is simply impossible to reconcile the two of them to get along harmoniously and ask Lao Fang to pay some money to rent Sister Sun's parking space.
Moreover, it is best to keep the two parties involved in the intensified conflict at a distance to avoid any stress-induced physical injuries.
Asked the security guard on Saturday:
"Is this the only vacant parking space here? Have all the other owners parked in the community? Can you help me ask if there are any owners who are away from home for a long time and don't need a parking space and would like to rent it to Mr. Fang at a reasonable price?"
The security guard's eyes lit up:
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? As long as they don't fight each other, they are still normal people. There are actually quite a few owners in this community who don't live here all year round."
The middle-aged man, Lao Fang, was still shouting at the top of his lungs:
"Even if I have money, I don't want to pay you a penny!"
…
Wang Caizhi has been working as a community policeman for so many years, and has been dealing with these conflicts and disputes. Zhou Liuyi couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic towards Wang Caizhi. Wang Caizhi is doing Lao Fang's work:
"There are many beautiful women in the world, why do you have to love only one flower?"
Lao Fang immediately got angry:
"I have a wife, my children are married, and we live in the same building. How could I possibly fall for her?"
Wang Caizhi nodded:
"Look, that's right. You have a family and a shop. You are so busy with life and work, how can you have time to quarrel all the time? When you are in a relationship, you change it if it is not suitable. Why can't you change a parking space? I see that this community is quite large. Contact the property management and let's rent a parking space properly, okay?"
Lao Fang was still hesitating, obviously unwilling to do so:
"It costs 700 yuan a month to rent a parking space. 700 yuan, according to the current market price, is enough to buy 70 kilograms of pork."
Wang Caizhi said:
"Then if you don't want to rent, you can look into buying one."
Lao Fang shook his head again:
"That's even worse. The housing prices in this area are locked in and haven't increased in five years. If I buy a parking space, won't it be a waste of money?"
Having said that, Wang Caizhi was not in a hurry:
"If you don't want to buy it, and you don't want to rent it, then just park your car one kilometer away."
Lao Fang hesitated and gritted his teeth:
"Then I'll rent one, but I definitely won't rent it from this woman."
Sister Sun rolled her eyes:
"Do you think I'm rare?"
I looked at my ground lock:
"My lock was broken, it costs one hundred and eighty!"
Lao Fang followed up with a shout:
"I won't compensate you unless you pay me for repairing the car!"
Well, back to square one.
Zhou Liuyi felt as if there was a band in his head, beating drums and gongs loudly, giving him a terrible headache. In fact, he felt that Lao Fang was wrong:
"As a man, do you have the nerve to take advantage of women all the time? It was your car that insisted on parking in someone else's parking space, and now they have called a tow truck to tow your car away. In the end, you have to pay for the towing. If you search online, you will find many such cases.
If you don’t want to pay for someone else’s car locks, don’t want to pay for a parking space, and don’t want to spend a penny, just walk every day. The main roads are built by the government, and they don’t ask you for money. ”
Zhou Liuyi finished speaking, Lao Fang looked it up on the Internet with doubt, while Wang Caizhi sighed:
"You said you have a parking space, which is a business necessity, but you don't know if other people with vacant parking spaces will agree to rent one to you."
Lao Fang obviously searched for a lot of relevant information, and knowing that he would not get any advantage anyway, he put down his phone:
"Oh, forget it, I'll just rent a parking space."
Sister Sun refused to give in:
"You can rent from whoever you want, but you must pay for my car locks."
Zhou Liu grabbed Lao Fang who was still swearing:
"Look, give me, a police officer, some face. I stay up all night and watch you guys argue. Is there any benefit for me? There is no benefit at all. I might have high blood pressure tomorrow morning, be late for work, and be scolded by our leader.
This sister Sun has been fighting with you for so long, but she didn’t get any benefit. You parked your car for so long in vain, and she even lost a parking lock…”
Zhou Liu talked so much that his lips were almost worn out. After saying so many nice things, Lao Fang finally agreed to compensate him, but it was only 60 yuan. Although Sister Sun was angry because she bought the car lock for 180 yuan, she agreed because it was better to have money than not.
It was almost dawn. Zhou Liuyi and Wang Caizhi were walking in the early autumn weather, both covered in dew.
I just felt horny on Saturday:
"Old Wang, are these the cases we handle every day?"
Wang Caizhi nodded. While he was busy on duty, he actually brought a thermos cup to soak wolfberries. He gave it to Zhou Liuyi, who didn't want it, so he took a big sip himself:
"I'll give you a suggestion."
Zhou Liuyi thought it was a suggestion for handling the case, so he pricked up his ears. Wang Caizhi finished the remaining half cup and said:
"You should also buy a thermos cup and soak some wolfberry and codonopsis pilosula to drink. People in our line of work consume a lot of physical energy."
Saturday is really sleepy:
"So when can we solve the big case?"
Wang Caizhi looked at the empty streets:
"Even night owls are asleep now, so no one should call the police, right?"
I felt hungry on Saturday and saw some breakfast shops had turned on their lights:
"How about we have breakfast?"
At this time, Li Hua called:
"Lao Wang, are you on the street? I'll send you a location. It's a breakfast shop. A couple finished their breakfast and didn't pay. Now they're arguing with the lady boss!"
Wang Caizhi hung up the phone and looked at Zhou Liuyi with a complicated expression. He patted Zhou Liuyi's shoulder lovingly:
"Liuyi, I won't partner with you today. Find another master. We all have capable people."
Saturday was a bit stubborn and said:
"Old Wang, I think you teach very well."
Zhou Liuyi could feel that there was controversy in the institute about whether he should stay or leave, and Wang Caizhi was one of the few who wanted to keep him.
It's like when you finally find a sheep, you have to do your best to fleece it.
Wang Caizhi:
"But you, as a disciple, are a bit of a burden to the master."
Two policemen rushed to the breakfast shop. It was five o'clock in the morning. Bone soup was simmering in a big pot. The proprietress and two helpers were making wontons at the chopping board. The proprietress was very skillful. She pressed seven or eight doughs with one hand and rolled the skin at the same time. She was very fast. The helpers making the wontons were all aunts in their forties or fifties. They were too sleepy to open their eyes, but they scooped the meat filling with a wooden spoon in one hand and held the dough in the other hand. They made one wonton per second. Their hands were so fast that afterimages were left.
The young couple is arguing with their boss.
The girl is about to cry:
"I really paid in cash. Why would I argue with you for so long over five dollars?"
The boss was very angry:
"You said you gave me money, but look here and see which bill is yours? Young people nowadays use mobile phones to pay, who still uses cash? When you checked into the hotel early in the morning, I could tell you two were not good people. You want to eat my wontons for free? No way!"
…
The two people were arguing fiercely. The content of the argument was that the boss thought that the two of them did not pay, while the two people claimed that they had paid.
Wang Caizhi asked Zhou Liuyi in a low voice:
"Did you see anything?"
Saturday took a look at the couple:
“They were between 25 and 30 years old, two people with suitcases, their shoes and the bottom of the suitcases were covered with thick dust, their hair seemed to be wet from the morning mist, and they might not even have a place to stay for the night.
They only ordered one bowl of wontons, which was shared between two people, indicating that their financial situation was not very good.
The man has been silent and the woman has been crying. We need to pay attention."
Wang Caizhi nodded:
"Then you go and handle it."
The young boss saw the police coming and said:
"Police comrade, you are finally here. They really didn't pay! You have to take charge of this for me."
On Saturday, I looked at the surveillance camera above the doorman's head:
"The surveillance is broken?"
The young boss looked embarrassed:
"I'm just running a small business. I think quickly, but I don't know how to operate a computer. It just takes up space here, and if it breaks, it won't be repaired."
Well, this case has become a confusing one.
Zhou Liuyi walked over and looked at the couple, a man and a woman. The man had a look of disgust on his face and was scolding the girl:
"I told you not to eat it, but you insisted on eating it. Now we may not be able to catch the bus and take the high-speed train."
The buses are especially crowded during the morning rush hour, and it is even more difficult to squeeze into the bus if you are carrying two suitcases and a heavy suitcase.
Looking at it from another perspective, they had brought all their belongings with them, but they couldn't even take out five dollars. They were truly penniless.
The girl cried loudly, her voice hoarse:
"I really paid! I wanted to finish the rest of the soup, so I gave the money to my boyfriend and asked him to give it to the boss. How could my boyfriend lie to me? We really paid! I only have five dollars left, and I want to finish this bowl of wontons and go home..."
Zhou Liuyi looked at the man carefully, and he felt frightened:
"Officer, why are you looking at me?"
Saturday shook his head;
"You only have a five-dollar bill?"
The man nodded impatiently:
"Yes, otherwise why would I spend so much time just for five dollars?"
Saturday's forehead support:
"Please turn your pocket over so I can see what that is."
The man wanted to quibble, but his hand involuntarily reached for his pocket, revealing a dime of five dollars. His face immediately turned red:
"Didn't I forget?"
The woman was so shocked that she forgot to cry:
"What? I gave you five dollars and asked you to give it to the boss, and you actually put it in your pocket?"
Men are lazy:
"I thought you were going to pay by scanning the QR code with your phone. I didn't know that these five dollars were your last money. I didn't know that this old man was so hateful and insisted on having these five dollars!"
The woman immediately started a fight with the man:
"I've been with you for six years, and I've always supported you. I used my last five dollars to buy a bowl of wontons. You ate the wontons and I drank the soup, but you still took the five dollars. Do you still have any conscience?"
…
Saturday morning, they both stopped and said:
"So, can you guys pay for that bowl of wontons first?"
The woman snatched the five dollars from the man's pocket, gave it to the boss, and said to the boss and the two policemen:
"I'm sorry we've caused you trouble."
The woman blocked all the man's numbers at the door of the breakfast shop and walked in the opposite direction.
Zhou Liuyi originally wanted to give the woman some travel expenses, but the woman said that her mother would send her money as long as she left the man, and she refused to accept any help from others.
This man even shamelessly came to Zhou Liuyi to borrow money:
"Officer, can you lend me twenty so I can take a taxi to the high-speed rail station?"
Wang Caizhi half-squinted his eyes. The old policeman had a kind of authority without anger. Under the faint majesty, there was only one chilling thing:
"roll!"
The man pulled the box and walked away dejectedly, cursing.
After this matter was resolved, Zhou Liu looked at the steaming wontons, walked in and sat down, and greeted the boss:
"Boss, give me two bowls!"
The boss quickly counted out twelve wontons and put them into the pot:
"Okay!"
Zhou Liuyi pointed his mobile phone at the camera for a long time and found that the surveillance camera in this store was actually working properly.
The boss brought the wontons and said with a smile:
"Excuse me, officers. This meal is on me."
"When I was with my wife, I only had enough money to buy a bowl of wontons. My wife said she wasn't hungry and gave it all to me. Later, I supported my whole family by making wontons."
"Forget about that scumbag."
…
After the meal, Wang Caizhi insisted on paying the bill, which made Zhou Liuyi feel a little embarrassed.
Wang Caizhi was very satisfied with his observation skills. As the two walked on the brightly lit street, Wang Caizhi no longer looked at Zhou Liuyi as a newcomer. This was a rare opportunity to teach him:
“I’m a community police officer, and I mainly handle small mediation cases. In fact, there is nothing complicated or technical about them, but they are quite time-consuming.
I have a few suggestions for you:
Even if it is a small police officer, he must bring all the equipment with him, especially the law enforcement recorder.
No matter how small the case is, records must be kept throughout the process.
Even if you are very hungry in the middle of the night, don't overeat.
Also, obey orders and obey the law."
I was looking forward to Saturday, but after listening to it, I felt that there was nothing useful:
"Master Wang, is there nothing left?"
Lao Wang shook his head:
"Compared to the case, the human heart is more complicated. You seem to be born with the ability to see through the essence. I remember a movie said that the person who can see through the essence in half a second and the person who can see through it in half a lifetime have two completely different destinies.
I hope you will not be too arrogant or impatient, and always keep your current enthusiasm in dealing with every case.
I also hope that you can find the sense of value you want in this career path.
Because this profession is more dangerous, more boring, and requires more talent and perseverance than you think! "
At this moment, Zhou Liuyi still could not understand the earnest feelings of Wang Caizhi, a veteran policeman who had been in the police force for nearly 30 years, and just nodded ignorantly.
After returning to the office, Zhou Liu could no longer bear it and fell asleep.
A dreamless sleep.
Usually when I moved to a new place, I would always have various dreams about my father. But this time, I slept soundly on a hard bed at the office, which was 1.2 meters wide and 2 meters long. The bedding was so simple that it was fading.
He felt so at ease that he didn't want to wake up.
The next day, Saturday was sleeping soundly when I suddenly heard a barrage of noises. It was Li Hua who came over with an alarm clock, playing the People's Police Song on repeat:
"The great motherland has given me a mission, and the rejuvenated nation has given me strength... Our names shine on the police badge, the people's police are moving forward, and our glory is flying on the national flag, flying on the national flag!"
Li Hua also kept shouting into Zhou Liuyi's ear:
"Hurry up and get up. Clock in before going back to sleep."
On Saturday, I turned over, covered my head with the pillow and continued to sleep:
"Can you change the alarm? It's too loud. I handled police cases all night last night. Please let me sleep for a while."
Li Hua lifted up his quilt and pillow:
"It's the director's request. Our unit doesn't need to raise the national flag and sing the national anthem and police song every week. Of course, we have to have some sense of ceremony in other aspects."
"You have to go to work normally after your shift. Listen to me and punch in quickly. Don't be late. You were late for such a long time yesterday. If you are late again today, the director will definitely punish you by making you write a self-criticism."
I got up helplessly on Saturday, closed my eyes and put on my clothes and shoes, like sleepwalking:
"It's so inhumane. I think I have to sleep until the afternoon before I wake up."
"Does the director understand that the fastest way to ruin a song is to use it as an alarm clock? I'll have to give him some advice later! If we want to keep our eyes filled with tears for the People's Police Song, we can only play it when a major case is solved."
Li Hua shook his head repeatedly and ran out with Zhou Liuyi in his arms:
"No, we are a police station. Normally, we don't have any major cases. Every year, we filter out the suspects from the drug rehabilitation center, and that's considered a major case."
Zhou Liu opened one eye and closed the other. This new term touched upon his blind spot in knowledge:
"What is a ghost?"
Li Hua explained:
"People who take drugs are called drug addicts."
Zhou Liuyi was yawning as he was pressing his fingerprints when he ran into Wang Caizhi who was rushing over to clock in. He was holding buns and eggs from the cafeteria. Zhou Liuyi greeted him:
"No way, Brother Wang, what time is it now? We've been busy all night! You have to go out so early, is there something important going on?"
Wang Caizhi also greeted Zhou Liuyi. He stretched out his hand, pressed his fingerprint, and clocked in, then explained:
"I have another document to submit. I got it from the Fourth Traffic Police Brigade and sent it to the branch."
Saturday has been frowning:
"Then it would be closer for you to go directly from the Fourth Squadron to the branch. It's too far to go from the station."
Wang Caizhi has gotten used to it, and said with a smile:
"I'm used to punching in and getting breakfast."
Saturday looked puzzled:
“But it’s such a waste of time.”
Wang Caizhi saw Zhou Liuyi, who was very grumpy when he woke up, and comforted him kindly:
"It's the same in all walks of life. The bank branch next to us has it even harder. No cups can be placed on the teller's desk. All safes must be locked when leaving the teller. At 5:30 p.m., we have to review the day's transactions and organize the day's transactions. We must follow procedures. Banks manage the people's money, and we manage the people's safety. Of course, we must follow procedures and not act recklessly."
Zhou Liuyi still felt puzzled and complained:
"We are busy enough handling police calls, and we also have to clock in on time and organize files..."
But Wang Caizhi patted him on the shoulder:
"Young man, you will get used to it in the future. These rules and regulations, to put it in a broader sense, are called putting power in a cage. To put it in a more simple way, you can't just put the rice in your mouth after it's cooked. You have to put it in a bowl, put it on the dining table, and eat it with chopsticks and a spoon."
Can it be understood this way?
Zhou Liuyi seemed to understand something.
After punching in, Wang Caizhi changed into casual clothes and hurried to catch the bus. He looked like a bricklayer who had been moving bricks in the city for half his life.
Li Hua shouted from behind:
"Lao Wang, you don't have to run. Half of your hair is already white. Those young people on the bus will definitely give up their seats for you!"
Wang Caizhi touched his hair and used the shiny plaque of the Advanced Work Unit as a mirror to look at his hair. How come he hadn't noticed before that he actually had so many white hairs when he was old?
"Then I'll go get a hair treatment after get off work tonight."
Li Hua put his hands on his hips and laughed at the old comrade:
"It's no good painting an old cucumber green! You need to rest more and stop running."
In the morning, I am on duty on Saturday and at night, and I am also responsible for the work of the police station's front desk.
He yawned repeatedly.
When I woke up, I was woken up by a gray-haired old lady:
"Comrade police, please help me!"
When the old lady opened her mouth, she had no teeth left, her face was bitter, and her cloudy eyes were full of pleading.
On Saturday, I looked at the watch and found that I had slept for the whole morning. I sat up straight and adjusted my collar. I saw the old lady put her crutches aside and took out the almost worn-out material from her pocket.
When I took it on Saturday, I found out that it was actually a house purchase contract.
But it’s not from now, but from one or two years ago, which means it’s about ten years ago.
"I'm really cornered by this world! Please help me, my eldest son is divorced now, and my grandson is sleeping in a public toilet with me..."
The old lady was crying and sobbing, which scared Zhou Liuyi.
Huang Qingmei came over after hearing the news, and quickly poured the old lady a glass of water , added a large spoonful of honey from her own cupboard, and asked the old lady to drink it slowly. She then took out two cake rolls from her own cupboard, gave them to the old lady, and asked her to eat them slowly.
Saturday frowned.
In this day and age, are there still people who suffer from low blood sugar due to not eating enough?
Then, Huang Qingmei sighed heavily and said with Zhou Liu:
"Alas, the old lady was really cheated. Do you know that there is a community called Zishanyuan here?"
Saturday nodded.
Huang Qingmei continued:
“The owner of Zishanyuan lost all the funds for the project in Saipan, hundreds of billions, which were all bank loans and down payments from owners of the first and second phases.
Houses over there aren't cheap.
He owed so much money and went to jail, leaving others to live a life worse than death.
The old lady originally had a small house in the suburbs, where her whole family squeezed into it. When the house was demolished to build a highway, she used all the money to pay the down payment for her two sons.
The demolition cost about one million yuan, and the house price is more than 20,000 yuan. I borrowed a little for the down payment. The monthly mortgage for the two unfinished houses is 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. I also have to rent a house outside. The old lady picks up garbage and can't make more than 1,000 yuan a month. The two sons also do odd jobs..."
Zhou Liuyi looked at the old lady and felt very sympathetic.
Huang Qingmei sighed:
"Our police station can only handle small matters. We can just pay for it ourselves. What do you think we should do?"
Saturday Question:
"Didn't you find a lawyer? I remember there was legal aid."
Huang Qingmei shook her head helplessly:
"It's not that easy. The contract was signed between the developer and the owner, but it was a loan contract signed between the owner and the bank. The bank and the owner wanted the money, but the developer ran away with it long ago."
Huang Qingmei comforted the old lady for a while, and the old lady kept crying. Huang Qingmei took out two hundred yuan and gave it to the old lady, and repeatedly said that we will definitely report this problem to the higher authorities.
The old lady finally left with a cane, staggering away, but with tears in her eyes:
"As police officers, you should think of a solution for us."
Huang Qingmei felt very guilty and helped the old lady walk for a while. She usually didn't take a taxi, but she called one for the old lady.
I couldn't sleep on Saturday, so I asked Huang Qingmei:
"In this case, which department should we report to?"
Huang Qingmei usually came in the morning, ate some snacks, and checked her phone for a while, but now she was leaning back in her chair with dull eyes:
"Which department should I look for? When the old lady came here for the first time, I went to the convenience center with her. The staff there have almost the same authority as me."
After saying that, Huang Qingmei threw a stack of information to Zhou Liu, almost all of which were reports of unfinished housing projects.
This means that there is currently no unified solution in Sanjiang City.
I couldn't sleep on Saturday, so I went to look at the case files and then prepared to write a self-criticism.
It was almost time for lunch, so he went to see Li Hua's examination. He never expected that Li Hua had sat there for more than half an hour, but the paper was blank.
Li Hua also ran over to look at Zhou Liuyi's post, but found that it was also blank:
"Top student, why is it so hard for you to write a self-criticism?"
Saturday spread his hands and said confidently:
"I have never written a self-criticism since I was a child!"
Li Hua wailed, "I thought you were kidding. I still have so many self-criticisms to write. It's really killing me! I feel like I write self-criticisms every day. How could I have known that I would make so many mistakes? Here's another one today."
Zhou Liuyi asked Li Hua very seriously:
“Do we have to write self-criticisms every day?”
Li Hua made a bitter face:
"What else? Do you think those rules and regulations are just empty words? In the past, I always thought that only prison guards were prisoners who received salaries. Now I think that the people in our police station are almost the same. Anyone above can control our director, and the director controls us..."
Zhou Liuyi didn’t complain that much. He was thoughtful, then he opened his phone and started searching for things on several platforms:
"I'll buy a writing machine online, input our handwriting into it, and then download some checks and piece it together."
Li Hua looked at Zhou Liuyi as if he was looking at a charlatan:
"No way, there is this thing too?"
Saturday without looking up:
"Of course, technology changes our lives. There is nothing that manufacturers cannot make, except what you can't imagine."
Li Hua was rubbing his hands in excitement:
"If I had this, I could write as many inspections as I wanted!"
Saturday frowned:
“It’s a little difficult.”
Li Hua asked:
"What difficulty?"
Saturday said:
“It’s just a little expensive.”
Li Hua patted Zhou Liuyi on the shoulder:
"Is expensive a problem? Problems that can be solved with money are not problems!"
Then he looked down and was shocked by the price:
"This is a big problem. I'll pay one-third of it. If you don't agree, I'd rather continue writing the censorship by hand."
High five with him on Saturday:
"make a deal!"
Then the two of them discussed where to put the machine after returning. They certainly couldn't take it home, as the two young graduates couldn't afford to rent a house, so they could only leave it in the institute. However, their dormitory was together with other people's rooms, and such a thing would surely be watched by many people after returning. The director would then force them to return it and issue another inspection for their fraudulent behavior.
Li Hua slapped his thigh:
"Put it in Pengge's room!"
Saturday Monday:
"What? Isn't our dormitory a six-person room? And there are single rooms?"
Li Hua immediately took Zhou Liuyi to open the door of Peng Zhiyuan's dormitory:
"Special matters are handled specially."
Saturday, I was curious:
"Is it because Brother Peng has made great contributions?"
Li Hua took the key, shook his head, and then said proudly:
"You're wrong. In our institute, except for Qingmei and me, everyone has made outstanding contributions. We have three second-class heroes and models. The fact that Brother Peng was given a single room has nothing to do with whether he has made any contributions."
After entering the door, Li Hua stuffed two balls of toilet paper into his nose, looked for the location of the socket on Saturday, and placed an order for another socket online.
However, he felt the smell was extremely suffocating, like altitude sickness, and he could no longer breathe. He looked at a pair of size 45 shoes lying across the middle of the room, and immediately rushed out of the door, taking deep gulps of fresh air from several meters away.
This is simply a biological weapon. Zhou Liu felt hopeless and sat on the ground. He felt that his sleepiness had been driven away. After he recovered, he gave Li Hua a thumbs up:
"This is absolutely terrible. I never want to go into Brother Peng's dormitory again!"
Li Hua also panted heavily:
"Everyone who has entered Brother Peng's dormitory thinks so."
