When Hu Liang came to work, he was still a little listless. He pinched his brows, took out the ledger and started working.
He should have had a day off today, but he actually came to work.
Caught him on Saturday:
"Brother Liang, why is your hair so greasy? Go wash it and change your clothes!"
Hu Liang continued to work, not taking his personal image seriously.
"Wash at night."
Saturday one:
"I went to dinner last night and met the director. He said that such a big fraud case was solved in one day. Maybe the publicity department of the branch will come to our station to interview and take pictures. You should dress up and improve our image.
You should wear lighter colors and more vibrant clothes, so that you can look like a young police officer."
Hu Liang then went to take a shower and change his clothes. He looked very energetic in a white shirt and brown casual pants. Sitting under the police badge, he looked more stable.
Zhou Liuyi felt much more satisfied. The food looked very good, and then he looked outside.
Not long after, a woman with a purse, a light pink dress, high heels and delicate makeup came in.
Quite beautiful.
Saturday's call to Hu Liang:
"Brother Liang, my stomach hurts, I need to go out for a while."
Hu Liang had no choice but to come over and took the police report registration book:
"Come to report the crime or turn yourself in?"
The beauty in front of me was angry:
"Hu Liang, you deserve to not have a girlfriend!"
Only then did Hu Liang realize that the beauty in front of him was actually Lin Ya Si. She had changed out of her gray and black business dress, taken off her black-framed glasses, let down her long hair that was tied up on her head, and put on some makeup, looking graceful and more feminine.
Hu Liang was a little confused.
Lin Ya Si tried her best to make her smile more charming. She thought Hu Liang was quite good and devoted himself to his work. He was not like those men in finance who were so flashy and could not even fill the holes in the bank, but they kept talking about businesses worth hundreds of millions.
Being a policeman with a monthly salary is not bad.
Lin Yasi's gentle judo:
"I heard that you are on vacation today. Can I treat you to a meal to thank you?"
Hu Liang refused righteously:
"We should do what we should do. No need to be so polite. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can still call our police."
Lin Ya Si stamped her feet in anger. Why didn't this person understand? She was also a person who couldn't speak. In a hurry, she said:
"I heard that you are single now, and today is also your day off, so I'll give you a chance to find your partner!"
Hu Liang realized it later:
"ah?"
According to her previous blind date habits, Lin Ya Si would definitely turn around and leave, but she remembered Zhou Liuyi's advice, that good men need to be fought for, and when two people are together, women also need to pay emotional value, and can't just wait for boys to chase them.
Although the people selling small cans of tea and the butchers are very sweet, can guess what you are thinking, are very good at talking, and can make you happy... but those are all mirages, just to empty your wallet.
In real life, men are slow...
Lin Yasi took a step back:
"As a friend, can I go out to eat with you? Do you want Cantonese or Sichuan cuisine?"
Hu Liang said subconsciously:
“Cantonese food.”
After Lin Yasi dragged Hu Liang away, Li Hua was amazed:
"Fuck! Xueba, how did you find out that Brother Liang is single?"
Saturday, I was flipping through the case files, putting the water cup on the ground, and taking a sip from time to time to moisten my throat:
"Isn't this simple? Every time Brother Liang called, the woman was looking for trouble and arguing. We talked about the engagement date, looked for opportunities to reconcile, and the director's matchmaking, but it didn't work out.
How could a man like Brother Liang tell us the details between him and his wife?
Just look at what he said about his girlfriend calling him a little fool before and now calling him a fool. "
Li Hua still said with some regret:
"Then why not just coax them? There's no need to break up."
Saturday smiled and said:
"It's not that simple. What the woman wants is long-term companionship, but Brother Liang doesn't have time. And the woman avoided getting married and reconciling, which means she is determined to find another man and will not go back. Just part ways amicably."
Li Hua was doubtful and said:
"But, we have dealt with Lin Yasi before, and she is not someone who is easy to get along with. Isn't this a trap for Brother Liang?"
Saturday's Laugh:
"Most of a woman's love for a man comes from admiration. Lin Yasi does not reject the profession of police. What she wants is nothing more than a man with similar family conditions who can give her a sense of security. In fact, she is very busy and independent, and does not need someone to accompany her all the time. Her work and her life itself occupy most of her time and energy, and she is proud of it.
Otherwise, how could you not have a romantic relationship for so many years?
I think the two of them are a good match.”
Li Hua thought about it and felt that Zhou Liuyi's words made sense:
"That's right, this girl isn't a hypocritical person. She's actually quite simple and doesn't covet men's money. Otherwise, how could she have been cheated by a pig-killing scam?"
The director could see this scene clearly.
Hu Liang and Shi Jing did break up. The reason for the breakup was that Shi Jing found someone better and wanted to get married.
There is more free time, the work is easier, and it is an industry completely unrelated to the police profession.
The reality is indeed more heartbreaking.
Zhang Guilan also did some ideological work on Hu Liang:
"Our business is a little bit special compared to other industries. When Da Peng and his wife first got married, they fought every day. Da Peng was so angry that he couldn't scold his wife, but he couldn't hit her either.
He would put a hundred yuan in his pocket every day, and only half of it would show, and he would go to the train station and bus station, pretending to be an outsider looking for a job on a construction site.
You said the thieves came in a swarm, didn’t they?
Almost all the targets of thieves in our institute are contracted to Da Peng.
Later, whenever Da Peng appeared, the thieves would take a detour and would not dare to pick it up even if money fell at their feet.
Life as a couple is like this, you just have to endure it."
Hu Liang was unusually depressed:
"Times have changed. I can't give her what she wants."
In fact, Shi Jing mentioned that she hoped Hu Liang could stop being a policeman and find another job. Today's large companies are in great need of legal professionals with experience working within the system, and they also need qualified security systems.
Once you get in, you can become a leader and the salary is not low.
But Hu Liang refused without even thinking about it:
“I’m sorry, but I can’t quit.”
The girl's crying was particularly heartbreaking:
"Hu Liang, can't you make a little concession for our future?"
Hu Liang’s answer is:
"I'm sorry. I entered the police academy at the age of 18, became a police officer at the age of 22, and am now 28. It has been ten years. The police uniform, police badge, and police response have become a part of my life.
The greatest honor and thrilling moments in my life are all related to police response.
I can give up anything, but I can't take off this police uniform."
Two apologies account for the entire youth of two people.
When Shi Jing left, the only thing Hu Liang could do was to call a taxi for her and give her an umbrella.
Also, all the money in the joint account was transferred to Shi Jing.
The director also wanted to introduce Lin Ya Si and Hu Liang to each other. Both of them are not so serious about relationships and still have a bit of innocence and are carefree, so they are more suitable.
On Saturday Monday, I got there first.
However, although this kid seems to be smart, he is actually mercenary and extremely arrogant. All the ideological work we have done is in vain.
We have to think of a way.
At this time, the instructor Jiang Hanshan came to work. He walked in wearing a neat new police uniform, a wide-brimmed hat in his hand, and his hair had obviously been groomed in the morning. At first glance, he looked like a handsome, successful policeman, very charming, and walked towards the police station office building with a smile on his face.
Perhaps because he had worked as a plainclothes drug enforcement officer for too long in the past, he now wears the police uniform whenever he gets the chance and cherishes every day he can wear it.
The director asked him to go upstairs. Ten minutes later, Jiang Hanshan came downstairs and found Zhou Liuyi:
"Borrow a new police uniform from Liangzi and go out with me."
Saturday's eyes light up:
"Are we going to the precinct to shoot a promotional video?"
Although a lot of minor cases have been solved recently, these cases have not attracted the attention of the relevant departments. It seems that this is the daily routine of the police station, with small cases happening continuously and endless troubles and disputes to deal with.
I didn't want to spend Saturday in the police station like usual.
He also wants to get involved in big cases.
However, there has been no call from the police station or Liang Peihe.
Jiang Hanshan shook his head and said mysteriously:
"No, but it's definitely more meaningful than shooting a promotional video."
Zhou Liuyi hurried to find Hu Liang. After getting the police uniform, the two drove the police car. However, Jiang Hanshan did not go to the police station, but to a large supermarket. The two put the police uniform in the car. After entering the supermarket, they asked Zhou Liuyi to push a huge shopping cart and follow behind.
Zhou Liuyi doesn’t quite understand, what does shopping in a supermarket have to do with handling a case?
I almost never have the habit of going to the supermarket with male elders on Saturdays and Mondays, so it felt weird.
But Jiang Hanshan was picking pine nuts and walnuts in the dried fruit section with great interest:
"The skin is thin and the meat is thick, it's chewy and high in protein. Pick a few and eat them when you work overtime at night."
Saturday one:
“I don’t have the hobby of eating snacks.”
Jiang Hanshan seemed to be shopping like a shopper, buying two bags of this flavor, two bags of that flavor, and soon filled up more than half of the shopping cart:
“If you don’t have a hobby, you can develop one.”
Saturday is puzzled.
Jiang Hanshan stopped and did not move forward. Instead, he pointed at the entire shelf and said:
"Look, these pine nuts, walnuts, and popcorn are all produced in Crescent Bay, which is the border between our country and foreign countries. The place is very chaotic and the people are very poor. In order to have a full meal, they gritted their teeth and planted poppies, marijuana and other things that take a short time and have a quick effect.
But these things are poisonous and the country has repeatedly banned them.
Our comrades-in-arms are fighting against drugs, and as soon as one batch is banned, another batch appears.
Later, we brought agricultural technicians over to teach them how to grow other cash crops and then helped them find markets for them.
Look at these shelves. Our government took the lead and negotiated with local supermarkets one by one.
We not only need profits, we not only need competition, we also need everyone in this society to have enough food to eat and live with dignity. "
Jiang Hanshan is a highly educated chemical engineer, so his perspective on problems is more metaphysical.
Zhou Liu was quite shocked when he heard these words. He held the pine nuts and walnuts in his hands and could never have imagined that there was such a story.
Jiang Hanshan picked out two bags of honey-flavored walnuts:
"I'll consider these two bags as a gift to you. You use your brain more, so you should eat more."
I also picked up a few more bags on Saturday and put them in the shopping cart:
"If I can't finish it, I can give it to my friends."
Jiang Hanshan smiled:
"Yes, I tell you, if we plant more corn and walnuts, we can plant fewer drug crops. We are a socialist country, we take everything into consideration, and the visible hand and the invisible hand work together to maintain the operation of society."
Saturday one:
"Yes, we have already learned about it in high school geography. In heavy industrial areas, textile factories are set up next to steel factories. The purpose is not to make money, but to balance the gender of local male and female workers."
Jiang Hanshan sighed in his old age:
"Yes, you have mastered the knowledge of the country's compulsory education very well."
Saturday, not caring much, said:
“It’s free, so of course I should learn more.”
Jiang Hanshan actually wanted to say one more thing. He hoped Zhou Liuyi could urge Li Hua to study harder and teach him how to take exams. However, when he saw Zhou Liuyi sweating profusely while moving these specialties, he said nothing.
Saturday Monday, he is a single-parent child and is more sensitive than other children.
What he wants is attention and love from others, as well as more affirmation, rather than being used as a tool.
After leaving the supermarket, Jiang Hanshan was nearly thrown out while driving. Passersby watched for a long time when they saw such a large police car twisting and turning before it could get out of the parking lot.
Jiang Hanshan felt a little embarrassed.
But he did not scold Zhou Liuyi. Seeing Zhou Liuyi driving rashly, he said patiently:
"Take a cup of water, put it here, and drive on a flat road. Try not to spill the water. Try it."
Saturday one:
“Isn’t that the plot of the movie?”
Jiang Hanshan smiled and said:
“Art is based on reality. Lao Wang is not exaggerating. He can drive hundreds of kilometers without spilling a drop of water, and he drives very fuel-efficiently. These are the top skills of experienced drivers. It is normal that you cannot master them in a short time.
We drive police cars in order to get to the victim as quickly as possible and deter criminals along the way.
Therefore, our police cars must drive steadily.
You are not a traffic policeman and have never dealt with traffic police, so you have not seen it. Traffic police often ride police motorcycles and practice in their own areas. Da Peng's motorcycle weighs more than 400 pounds. You can also feel it when you have time. You must be steady and skilled.
When an accident happens, people feel reassured when they see police cars and police motorcycles rushing towards them at lightning speed. "
Saturday, I held the steering wheel with one hand, and every joint was clearly visible, but I was still not very skilled in operating it.
Seeing Zhou Liuyi was about to twist the steering wheel off with such force, Jiang Hanshan unscrewed his water cup and placed it in front of the car:
"Relax, imagine this is your computer keyboard, you should be able to use it well, pedestrians obey traffic rules, vehicles follow the instructions of traffic lights and move forward in an orderly manner, you just need to do your part well."
Following Jiang Hanshan's directions, the police car made many turns and finally entered a neighborhood that couldn't be any shabbier.
This is obviously a welfare housing estate of a certain unit a long time ago. With the development of the city, everyone moved away, leaving only some elderly people and tenants from other places.
The words and paint on the gate had all fallen off, and it was impossible to tell which unit it belonged to. The bluestone slabs in the yard had been broken into pieces, and the old man and woman's waste was piled up there.
This run-down neighborhood actually seems to be bustling with people coming and going.
Zhou Liuyi couldn't help rubbing his hands. Was there some big case? Did Jiang Hanshan bring him out to do something big?
However, after parking the car and carrying my things to the back of the building, I saw a particularly shabby-looking funeral hall, with an urn in the middle and a few scattered wreaths. The flowers did not look fresh and were crooked, as if they were bought at a discount and the workmanship was shoddy.
Zhou Liuyi couldn't understand this scene at all.
Jiang Hanshan, actually brought him to attend the funeral? Whose funeral is this? Why did he come?
Saturday was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.
At this time, an old woman with wrinkles all over her face and a white cloth tied around her waist came out of the corridor. When she saw Jiang Hanshan, she trotted over:
"Officer Jiang, you're here!"
Zhou Liuyi was just about to say a few words of comfort to the old lady. After all, someone in her family had died, which was quite pitiful. Moreover, the old woman was dressed very shabbily, and her shoes were glued together. Judging from the way she was dressed, she looked like the wife of the deceased.
However, what happened next was completely beyond Zhou Liuyi's imagination.
Other people around were also trying to persuade him, but the weird thing was that everyone's style was biased. Zhou Liu felt like he had been to a mental hospital when he heard what was going on.
No normal person can say such things, and these people are abnormal.
"Auntie, be happy. Look, this man is dead. You will have a good life from now on!"
Should we be happy and celebrate when someone dies?
"He's been smoking for four years and is dead. Is he better than those who are still alive?"
What are you smoking?
If you smoke, it's normal to live to 80 or 90 years old, right?
Only now, Zhou Liuyi vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the things that the deceased person smoked.
"You are only 48 this year. You will have a good life in the future. Look, the children are finally back. I will take them out for a good meal later."
Less than fifty? But she looked like she was in her seventies, not at all the capable and capable woman of a fifty-something woman about to retire.
Zhou Liuyi now understood that these guests were as normal as could be, but the abnormal one was the dead man.
The man in this family died of drug abuse!
Zhou Liuyi couldn't help but look at the photo on the urn.
The photo was obviously of the man when he was young. He was dressed in a suit, wearing a watch and glasses, and looked like a respectable man. But when he died and had his funeral, everyone said that he had died a good death, saying that he should have died earlier, and some even complained that he died too late.
The old woman cursed:
"It's a good thing that he died. This idiot is finally dead. We don't have to be harmed by him anymore. He smoked all his life and lost his house and car. I gave birth to three children for him. They are all smart and good children, but none of them went to college. Before they were even 20, they all went to work in other places and dared not come back.
I worked so hard to earn some money, but it was all taken away by this damn guy. If I don't give it back, he'll accuse me of being unfilial.
These three children, because of their shameful and disappointing father, were even stabbed in the back when they walked on the street.
Ever since he started smoking that thing, he has been like a lunatic, beating me all day long. My bones have been broken more than a dozen times. How could I be so unlucky to marry a man like this?
Officer Jiang, it would be great if he died earlier. I would have suffered less and my children wouldn’t be burdened by him…”
Jiang Hanshan had obviously seen this kind of situation many times, and his words of comfort flowed fluently:
"Life has to go on. Your children are all good kids. As long as they are willing to work hard, they will definitely live a good life in the future!"
At this time, there were people looking around outside, looking sneaky, but when they saw Jiang Hanshan was here, they didn't dare to come over. When Jiang Hanshan walked out, they were so scared that they ran away. Only when they saw those people left did Jiang Hanshan come back.
There were three young children kneeling in the mourning hall. They looked to be in their teens, dark and thin, and obviously malnourished. They were wearing worn-out shoes and their clothes didn't even fit them well.
It is obvious that the economy has reached its peak.
One of them was injured and had a cast on his arm.
Jiang Hanshan talked a lot with the three children:
"Learn a skill well, and if you have the opportunity to study, study more."
"If you encounter any difficulties, call me. Save my phone number."
"Your father's drug abuse has nothing to do with you. Although you cannot work in the system, you can still earn a living in other industries as long as you work hard!"
…
When there were no guests in the mourning hall, Jiang Hanshan took out some money and handed it to the children, but the children refused it for a long time before reluctantly accepting it.
The child with a broken hand still said stubbornly:
"Officer Jiang, I'll pay you back when I find a job and get paid."
Jiang Hanshan's resolute and handsome face finally showed a bright smile:
"good."
Before leaving, Jiang Hanshan asked Zhou Liuyi to move the snacks, rice, noodles and drinks from the car and asked others to help carry them in. Although it was a simple funeral, according to local customs, it was necessary to take out food from home to entertain relatives and friends who came to pay their respects.
This family, with an unemployed woman and three children, simply cannot support itself.
The woman did not shed a tear in front of her husband's spirit tablet, but cried to Jiang Hanshan:
"Officer Jiang, thank you, thank you police station. If it weren't for your help over the years, my mother and I would definitely not be alive. If you hadn't thrown that bastard into prison for a few years, we would have been hacked to death. If you hadn't ruled that collecting gambling debts was illegal, we wouldn't even have a place to live..."
Jiang Hanshan comforted her:
"This is what we should do. We must not tolerate illegal and criminal acts."
After that, the family insisted on keeping Jiang Hanshan and Zhou Liuyi for dinner, but Jiang Hanshan refused, saying that he had a lot of things to do at the institute.
When driving out in the police car, Zhou Liu saw a slogan painted on the wall:
"One puff of drug will ban a lifetime of happiness."
"Cherish life and stay away from drug addicts."
…
Jiang Hanshan pointed at the words and said:
"These slogans were painted by me and Da Peng, and later by Xu Hai and Li Hua. If you are still in our institute next year, you and Li Hua will come and paint them."
Saturday nodded.
Jiang Hanshan said:
"As long as there are drug users around here and they are caught, we must ensure that the anti-drug slogans in this area do not fade."
Before Zhou Liuyi, I had only discussed the intensity of drug control with Hu Liang, but I didn't expect that it would be so severe in reality.
Seeing Zhou Liuyi thinking, Jiang Hanshan continued:
“ Drug addicts are not the worst sufferers, because they can live like a happy pig under the stimulation of drugs. The worst sufferers are their family members.
Drug addicts often cheat and deceive in order to get money for drugs, and their families are the first to be affected. Their tuition and living expenses are taken away, so their children cannot go to school, their elders have no money for medicine, and even their wives are about to give birth, but they cannot even afford a bed in the hospital.
Then these people will also endanger society. Those who take heroin through intravenous injection and mix it with needles are prone to AIDS. When a family lives together, it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises, which can easily be contagious.
If you go to the traffic police, you will find that they are not only catching drunk driving, but also drug driving.
Driving under the influence of drugs can make a car look like an airplane, a cannon, or a ship. It’s very scary…”
Jiang Hanshan has never been a talkative person, but he said a lot. Then the clear sunlight shone on his face. He took a deep breath and then exhaled:
"It's nice to be a normal, ordinary person and live in the sunshine."
At noon, Jiang Hanshan took Zhou Liuyi out for a meal. He ate very fast. He rolled the noodles onto the chopsticks, quickly stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them a few times, and swallowed them.
Jiang Hanshan finished his bowl of noodles, and Zhou Liuyi still had half a bowl left. Even if he ate faster, he could not catch up with Jiang Hanshan.
Jiang Hanshan smiled and said:
"It's just after September, and the autumn recruitment has just ended. People who work have just started working and are waiting for next month's salary. Students are in class and looking forward to the holidays. The weather is cooler and the barbecue stalls have less business and fewer troublemakers. It's considered an off-season. Now with you, Li Hua and Qingmei, we can handle the work."
Zhou Liuyi felt a little guilty when he heard about Huang Qingmei, and Li Hua also sent him a message:
Qingmei didn't come to work this morning. She took a leave. Four people reported the case, so she had to go to the cafeteria to eat alone. It was heartbreaking.
No response on Saturday.
Although Huang Qingmei doesn't like being a police officer or this job, she has never been someone who would skip work. What happened?
However, after dinner, Jiang Hanshan took Zhou Liuyi to a drug rehabilitation center!
The drug rehabilitation center is located in the suburbs and it doesn't look impressive from a distance, but when you look closer, you will feel that there is nothing but bare concrete ground in the distance, the walls are really high, the iron gates are really high and really heavy, and the black guns carried by the guards really have bullets in them!
Saturday was stunned in an instant.
But the man who came out to pick up Jiang Hanshan and Zhou Liuyi was a tall and capable man named Song Xuewen. He also looked elegant and easy-going. He greeted Jiang Hanshan as soon as he saw him from a distance and came over to hug him:
" Lao Jiang , I miss you so much!"
Jiang Hanshan raised his hand, asking him to stay away, and also asking Zhou Liuyi to stay away from him:
"This guy, even though he looks like a bamboo pole, can actually arm wrestle with Da Peng. When I first joined the police force through social recruitment, he was my partner during the new police training.
After being partners for a week, he almost beat me to death.
I thought all police officers who graduated from professional police training schools were so awesome, until I took up the post and arrested a provincial Sanda runner-up on my first mission.
Previously, any police officer who encountered this fugitive, if he was alone, would wait for backup.
Because the Sanda champion beat two policemen into the hospital.
I just realized how powerful this guy is! "
When talking about the past, Jiang Hanshan was still indignant, as excited as an innocent man who was deceived in love. A man who looks gentle and easy-going almost poked his finger into the face of his former partner.
Saturday was also a bit scary.
Song Xuewen smiled with the reserved elegance of a cultured person, and spoke modestly:
"How can I be that strong? If you don't believe me, let's go in and give it a try. Our rehabilitation center has just been renovated and we have a boxing ring. Why don't you give it a try?"
After Song Xuewen said this, Jiang Hanshan disliked him even more and continued to say to Zhou Liu:
"Our institute is now connected to the internet! Don't think I don't read the news on the internal network!
Last time, a detainee was released from forced rehabilitation and tried to chop his wife with a knife. His wife was afraid that our police station would be slow to arrive, so she called this guy.
This guy went there and broke three ribs, a thigh bone, and an arm with one kick, and he still claimed it was self-defense. Both the court and the inspector ruled him not guilty.
The man had been lying in bed for more than half a year. After he was able to walk again, his hands trembled even when he held chopsticks, let alone a knife. Eating a meal was more tiring than moving bricks.
His wife even went to the compulsory drug rehabilitation center to present a banner, saying that the center was excellent and had helped her husband get rid of his drug addiction, which he had been unable to quit for eight years. She also wrote a thank-you letter, calling on families with drug addicts in the society to send their family members here so that the family could have a bright future.
Your fists are getting stronger as you get older. I swear, I will never fight with you in my life!"
Song Xuewen replied somewhat awkwardly:
"Then will you participate in the next city-wide police competition?"
Jiang Hanshan said calmly:
"I switched to civilian work and now I am very Buddhist."
Song Xuewen smiled and said:
"Tsk, people like you, even if you become a Buddha, you will only be a Fighting Buddha."
Jiang Hanshan nodded:
"Yes, life will not stop, and drug prohibition will not stop."
