Volume 1: Taking root at the grassroots level, a rookie’s first try Chapter 37: Fighting to Forge the Police Spirit
The child's father was wearing looser clothes, so he quickly took them off and covered the child with them.
The director had already directed Wang Caizhi to drive the car over:
"Quick, send the child to the hospital! We've already contacted them, and the emergency department is waiting to pick up the child."
There was not enough room in the car for so many people, and because the little girl subconsciously grabbed the corner of Zhou Liuyi's clothes, Zhou Liuyi also followed the child's parents to the hospital.
Wang Caizhi drove very steadily, passing through one intersection after another at lightning speed. When taking a shortcut, he could even go directly through the lawn in the green belt, saving nearly a kilometer. He drove so steadily and seemed very familiar with the road.
I was stunned when I saw it on Saturday.
Can you drive a car like this?
Wang Caizhi is a community police officer, and he comforted the two distraught parents:
"Don't worry, we are very familiar with the hospital and have told them the situation. The doctors in the internal medicine and emergency departments are ready, and the child will be fine.
We have dealt with this kind of thing before. Last time, a pregnant woman fell at home and called us, the police, faster than calling 120.
It's almost an hour until twelve o'clock now, I can be there in ten minutes."
With Wang Caizhi's comfort, the couple finally recovered from their panic and thanked him repeatedly:
“Thank you so much!”
…
The father checked the bag of materials that the mother brought with her again, then took out his bank card from his pocket and put it in the bag. Only then did he feel more at ease.
Zhou Liuyi looked at the couple and even wondered if his parents lived like this in the past.
The tiny child in his arms was so soft, as if she would break if he used a little more force. Zhou Liuyi couldn't help but put his hand under the child's head to make her feel a little more comfortable.
He remembered that Lei Ming once told him that during a mission, the suspect kidnapped a child. She rushed over from the second floor and saved the child, but her hand was broken.
She was talking with great joy, talking all the time about how adorable the baby was, totally ignoring the fact that her hand was in a cast.
Zhou Liuyi always felt that Lei Ming was exaggerating.
But now he felt that this little girl was extremely precious.
The police car was whizzing, but there was a car stuck in front of the traffic light. The traffic light still had more than eighty seconds left. Wang Caizhi wouldn't drive the car so fast, right?
There are several cars stuck in the traffic ahead.
Wang Caizhi and Zhou Liuyi said:
"Get off and let those cars make way for us!"
Zhou Liuyi didn't know if it would work, so he got off the car immediately:
"The police are sending the child to the hospital for emergency treatment. Please make way!"
At this time, a traffic policeman wearing a green fluorescent vest came over to the side of the road. It was Chen Shuhang.
He also hurried over to help, waving his arms and tapping the windows of the cars:
"The police are sending the child to the hospital for emergency treatment. Please move your car out at a 45-degree angle."
Hearing the sound, the car owner turned on the hazard lights and moved the car out of the way of a very narrow road in the middle. Wang Caizhi stepped on the accelerator and drove forward quickly, at lightning speed.
Getting closer!
Getting closer and closer!
From afar, I could already see the huge light of the hospital. As it got closer, the child's mother kissed the child's face with tears on her face:
"Kids, we're almost there!"
When we arrived at the hospital entrance, the doctors and nurses had already come out with a stretcher. After taking the child , the doctor touched the child's forehead, checked the pupils, and allowed the child to be pushed in.
The doctor said to Zhou Liuyi and Wang Caizhi who rushed over:
"Don't worry, leave it to us from now on. You delivered it on time!"
Wang Caizhi drove Zhou Liuyi back to the institute, and his cell phone kept ringing, just like when everyone was calling to wish each other a happy New Year during the Spring Festival in the past.
Jiang Hanshan called him first:
"Good job, kid. Keep it up!"
Hu Liang called him:
"You're great! I think you're almost catching up with the criminal investigation major in our school."
…
The director also called and expressed his approval:
“Do a good job!”
On the way, Wang Caizhi met Chen Shuhang, who was about to hand over his shift. He stopped a car on the side of the road and gave him a ride. After getting in the car, Chen Shuhang asked about the little girl's situation. He himself had a daughter, so he couldn't help but sigh:
"This child has suffered so much. He is so young and yet he has contracted this disease."
Wang Caizhi has seen too many joys and sorrows, so his tone is much more relaxed:
"It's okay. Technology is becoming more and more advanced, and medication is more precise than before. As long as it is properly controlled, the survival rate is about the same as that of normal people.
But I have to tell you, don’t give me a traffic violation ticket. We don’t have the funds to do that.”
Chen Shuhang smiled bitterly and said:
"I just want to catch a ride back to our workplace. It's too hard to get a taxi wearing this leather jacket, but I'm cold without it."
Wang Caizhi said disdainfully:
"You've been working for so many years, but you still have no experience?"
Chen Shuhang complained:
"If someone comes to check on me, where can I hang my thick clothes? There are fifteen of us at the intersection. How ugly will that be?"
Saturday smiled and said:
"It seems that being a traffic policeman is quite boring. Why don't you come to our police station?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuhang became anxious:
"No, our traffic police are much more capable than your police station. I went on a business trip to Yunnan and Guizhou last year to study. Do you know what the headaches they encounter on the road in summer are? You would never guess that it was an elephant on a truck that ate a lot of sugarcane on the truck next to it. In the time it took to wait for a traffic light to turn red, the farmer's dozens of kilograms of sugarcane were gone."
Zhou Liuyi’s eyes widened in an instant. Is there such a thing?
After work, Chen Shuhang relieved his fatigue by chatting:
“Also, tricycles are not allowed to enter the city without a license plate, and you need a driver’s license to ride a motorcycle, but farmers who are over 50 years old are all “three-no” people.
But the farmers can’t just take the watermelons they worked so hard to grow back and keep them in the team, right?
The watermelons grown nowadays are very delicate. If they are slightly bumped, they will all go bad the next day and have to be sold.
Our team leader and deputy director held a meeting and asked us to help the farmers sell the watermelons and then deal with the violations.
Isn’t it weird? "
At one o'clock on Saturday, the avatar was pounding garlic and the traffic police was selling melons, which was rare.
Wang Caizhi always prepares some drinks and snacks in the car. On Saturday, he took a bottle of drink and handed it to the traffic police hero.
Chen Shuhang opened the bottle and drank half of it, then his tone became serious:
“In fact, I originally felt that this job was not what I wanted. I wanted to sit in an air-conditioned office, not argue with people on the road over a minor dispute.
But one time when I was on my way to work, I saw an old man riding a motorcycle overturned on the side of the road. All the vehicles passing by on the road had left, but no one helped him to call the police or an ambulance.
I drove my own car and took the person to the hospital.
After I sent the patient to the hospital and paid the medical expenses, I started to worry about whether I would be blackmailed.
I was worried the whole day, but the next day the old man's son came to refund my medical expenses. Later, during the Chinese New Year and other holidays, he would often visit my house and bring some fruits, rice, noodles, etc.
I am an only child, and so is my wife, so every Chinese New Year and other festivals are quite deserted. But after that incident, my family felt like we had one more relative.
Later, no matter how weird the job was, I didn’t find it so unbearable anymore.”
Saturday sounded a bit dazed.
Lei Ming also said something similar. What she meant was that when you protect someone else's home, you are protecting your own home.
The traffic police team arrived, and Chen Shuhang got off the car, holding a half-bottle of drink and saying goodbye to Wang Caizhi and Zhou Liu:
"Next time, I will definitely treat you to a meal!"
Chen Shuhang's back suddenly became taller.
Wang Caizhi smiled and said:
"In our line of work, everyone has to use professional ethics to restrain themselves, but at the same time, they also have too many personal emotions involved."
At this time, Li Hua also called. The young man made a video call. Shi Wenwen and Huang Qingmei were also on the call:
"Liu Yi, my phone ran out of battery and I just charged it. What did the doctor say?"
"It was so dangerous. If it was two hours later, someone would have died."
"I want to report this part as well. What do you think?"
The two young girls were chirping like happy sparrows, very excited.
Huang Qingmei said:
"Next time I encounter a case like this, I'll have to work with you!"
Shi Wenwen steals the spotlight:
"Senior, that's awesome! I've only seen crime-solving on TV before, but never in real life!"
The two girls looked plump and energetic on the screen. Now they were sitting in the car, looking at the lights outside, which were exceptionally bright.
At this time, Xu Hai called and said briefly:
"Let's go eat!"
Not surprisingly, the place where Xu Hai invited everyone to dinner was also at the Drunken Gang. It was already late at night, and the diners were sparsely populated, and it was almost closing time.
However, when Lao Yang saw Xu Hai and his men coming, he immediately came over to greet them enthusiastically:
"Brother Xu, you are here!"
His wife, the boss lady, went to the kitchen to ask the cook to cook for a while, and then came over with two bottles of wine.
Lao Wang waved his hands again and again:
"Don't get it for me. I'll drive."
The lady boss smiled and said:
"You've been busy all day, take a break and relax. I'll let Lao Yang take you back later."
Old Yang also echoed his wife:
"That's right, let me drive your police station's car for a bit of fun!"
Wang Caizhi just smiled, pushed away the wine glass in front of him and replaced it with a teacup.
After all, he has been a police officer for many years and has a murderous aura, which has a natural deterrent effect on people like Lao Yang and Kang Caiyue. They put down their food and wine and went to do other things.
I was a little shocked when I saw it on Saturday.
Xu Hai smiled and said:
"You haven't been to a detention center or prison yet?"
Saturday shook his head.
Wang Caizhi took a sip of hot tea and felt like he had regained his soul. He drove away the severe cold and explained to Zhou Liuyi, a recruited police officer:
"In the past, detention centers and prisons were scattered and management was lax, so it was easy for guards to bring a family member in. Now it is not easy to get in. You have to write an application, make a report, and wait in line for review."
Xu Hai lit a cigarette and said with a smile:
"I'm not saying this, I'm saying that as long as we put on the police uniform and have the identity of a police officer, we will have a natural deterrent effect on criminals.
The reform of criminals in our country's prisons is all-round and wholehearted.
In order to make them develop a fear of the law again, they had to squat when the guards stood, and they had to endure it no matter how uncomfortable it was. If they wanted to go to the toilet, they had to report it first.
Every week, you must write reflections and share your experiences.
In our city prison, all the newly recruited police officers in recent years have national second-level psychologist counseling certificates, and their purpose is to reform the prisoners’ thoughts.”
Saturday smiled and said:
"I thought that criminals were just like those on TV, unruly and undisciplined."
Xu Hai blew out smoke rings:
"Don't be fooled . The state's violent organs are not vegetarians. We are professional in dealing with the enemies of the people."
The three of them chatted, and the atmosphere seemed a little more relaxed.
Xu Hai put out his cigarette:
"Young people nowadays smoke less. You should also pay attention to your health. Don't let your health collapse before you solve a few cases."
The dishes came, Wang Caizhi looked around with his chopsticks, but picked up a piece of green vegetables. Looking at his partner Xu Hai, who had premature gray hair and came from the criminal police team, he ate and said:
"When you first came here, you weren't as open-minded as you are now!"
Xu Haidao:
"I am old, am I not? Compared to you, I am still young, but compared to Liuyi, I am twice his age, so of course I have to be more open-minded."
Wang Caizhi picked up a piece of meat for Zhou Liuyi with his chopsticks, scooped a bowl of clear soup for himself, and told Zhou Liuyi about Xu Hai:
"He solved many serious cases in the criminal police team's major crime unit. He could sit in the front row at the provincial conference every year, and he received many bonuses and medals, and he often wore a big red flower on his chest.
In our station, all the young policemen like to recognize Xu Hai as their master. It will make them famous if they know about it.
When you go to other units to do business, it’s better to mention Xu Hai’s name than our director’s name!
If he went to a meeting, there would be groups competing to host him, arrange the best hotel for him, and find him a tour guide. "
Zhou Liuyi really couldn't tell that this ordinary, unremarkable old detective actually had such an influence comparable to that of a star:
"Brother Wang, are you serious?"
Wang Caizhi scooped another bowl of soup:
"Of course it's true. The cases that Lao Xu solved were all human trafficking cases. He often found something useful and helped dozens of families find their lost relatives at a time.
Some of these families are indeed rich or noble, and their greatest wish in life is to be reunited with their family.
Among the family members who found their loved ones, some gave Old Xu a banner with the words "Modern-day Guanyin of Fertility" on it, and some even included him as the heirs when writing their wills.
There is a family member who actually owns four mines and has set up a family trust fund!"
The more Zhou Liuyi listened, the brighter his eyes became. He had never thought that being a policeman would have such a bright future and that he could also become a wealthy man?
Xu Hai made a pause gesture:
"Don't listen to Lao Wang's nonsense, he is a community policeman, he just has a sharp tongue.
You should have understood on your first day here that, although we are the government department closest to the people, we absolutely cannot take a single penny from the people!
Choosing our profession actually means choosing the most dangerous profession in peacetime. Several of us have been injured. "
His tone gradually became serious, as if he was examining Zhou Liuyi. Then he drank a glass of wine and said several words to Zhou Liuyi:
“I think it’s great to have young people like you as police officers!”
Xu Hai invited him to eat because he sincerely wanted him to have a full meal.
Xu Hai has been handling human trafficking cases, and he has deeper feelings for those abducted children than anyone else.
Zhou Liuyi found Li Zixuan today, which was equivalent to saving Li Zixuan's life. Xu Hai thought that they were kindred spirits.
Saturday night he ate silently. After running all day, he was really hungry.
Wang Caizhi saw that Xu Hai had become serious, and he also changed his attitude. He picked up a piece of food for Xu Hai with his chopsticks:
"It's rare for me to come out for a meal after get off work, eat more!"
Then he told Saturday:
"Don't admire Old Xu too much. He tends to act on impulse. Others who have solved so many cases are now leaders in sub-bureaus or directors in large police stations.
We have a staff of less than ten people, a size comparable to that of a rural police station, and the police situation in a prefecture-level city is one of the most difficult.
If you have time, you can go to the Xicheng Police Station in the Development Zone. They have a staff of more than 60 people, including auxiliary police and civilian staff, a total of nearly 200 people.
The directors of that kind of units are all department-level leaders.
As for him, he actually got back on track and became a policeman in the police station again. Not only did he not become a director or instructor, he was not even a selector. "
It was only on Saturday that I came to my senses!
Everyone respected Xu Hai, but his police rank did not seem high, and he had no other position at the moment.
Just looking at these, you can't tell that he was once a powerful figure.
Xu Hai, however, didn't care about all this. He picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks, ate it slowly, and said casually:
"I think it's worth it. At least that scumbag won't come out to harm others again in this life."
Xu Hai wanted to take out another cigarette, but there was no cigarette in the cigarette box. He stood up:
"I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes."
Wang Caizhi looked at the direction where Xu Hai was going away, with a trace of regret in his eyes:
"I've been a community policeman all my life because that's all I have. But Lao Xu has been working in the police station, so that's not the case..."
Saturday's rejection slowed down.
Wang Caizhi put down the soup bowl and said slowly:
"When the incident happened, it caused a huge uproar in the whole society. He forced a human trafficker who had been trafficking people for more than 20 years to the rooftop.
At that time, public opinion was still very conservative. If there were cases of threats and rape, people would tend to condemn the women.
At that time, he was handling a case like this, where a large number of women were abducted and forced into prostitution and sold to others as wives.
The criminals' methods were extremely cruel. Many women were beaten and left with lifelong disabilities, such as deafness, blindness, and lameness.
However, during the appeal process, the chain of evidence was weak and the criminals could not be sentenced to heavy sentences.
Because the trafficked women are too ashamed to come out and testify, this link is missing.
Later, this person was released on bail just because he had a tumor.
Xu Hai was also investigating another case at the time, which was a child trafficking case.
The identity links of these trafficked children have been almost completely cut off, and most of the children found from buyers have changed their names and are difficult to trace.
As for some children who were not very smart or good-looking, their methods were particularly cruel and they actually sold the children to beggars for a living.
Following clues, the police found several children who had been physically disabled. They were not missing limbs, and the children were not born with disabilities. The beggars deliberately disabled the children in order to gain more sympathy.
Some of their biological parents accepted the children, some committed suicide out of despair, and some refused to acknowledge that they were their own children...
This is a human tragedy!"
The case handled by Xu Hai was indeed a top-notch case!
They traveled across six provinces and cities across the country and spent nearly two years conducting open and secret investigations. The farthest they went was to the plateau, where they arrested people while breathing oxygen. The harsh conditions were not the biggest concern. The most dangerous thing was that once they went to the mountains to rescue a woman. They went in under the cover of night but were discovered. The villagers actually chased them all the way on motorcycles and bicycles and with shovels in their hands.
After arriving in the county town, they drove the abducted women to the city overnight, thinking they could rest easy.
Who could have imagined that his colleague was stabbed three times by the buyer when he just went to buy some daily necessities from the guesthouse arranged by the police station.
Xu Hai personally packed his colleague's intestines in a plastic bag and sent him to the hospital.
Handling this kind of case is really a battle with your life.
During this period, some colleagues in this task force quit because they couldn't stand the hard work. It's human nature. People born in the 1980s are almost the group with the strictest family planning. They are all only children. Even if they don't think about themselves, they have to think about their parents.
And Xu Hai not only never thought of quitting, but he always rushed to the front.
Saturday asked:
"And then?"
Wang Caizhi crossed his fingers and placed them on the table. His voice sounded a little old. He was not only talking about this case, but also about the years when Xu Hai went through life and death:
"Xu Hai was furious. He blocked the trafficker on the rooftop. He knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that he would reform and never commit the crime again.
Xu Hai already had a lot of information in his hands at that time. This human trafficker had been arrested in other places in his early years when he was not very skilled in this field. He also actively participated in labor reform in prison, but was released early after serving his sentence. After he was released, he not only did not repent, but continued to traffic in people, doing it more covertly and on a larger scale.
Xu Hai kicked the man down from the fifth floor.
Later, the human trafficker was always in a wheelchair, suffering from high paraplegia. He had to have a urine bag and rely on nasogastric feeding for the rest of his life, and he couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
The future of the young and energetic Xu Hai was ruined. The rising star in the police force suddenly fell. In that era, newspapers wrote nonsense all day long, and Xu Hai became a name that many of his colleagues in the local area avoided mentioning.
He was transferred from his important position to the patrol brigade, patrolling the streets every day on a police motorcycle.
In that era, the campaign against organized crime had not yet begun. A group of people bullied a fool on the street, took off the fool's pants, and made the fool kneel on the ground and lick their shoes.
Xu Hai rode a motorcycle alone and killed these people.
But with the rise of the Internet, eye-catching posts were everywhere, and Xu Hai was accused of being a black policeman, and he couldn’t even stay on the patrol team anymore.”
Xu Hai is a policeman who was hit twice by the wave of public opinion.
At this point, Wang Caizhi was sad:
"Originally, Xu Hai should have been transferred to a civilian position or resigned. It was our director who applied to the bureau and, despite great pressure, brought Xu Hai to the Longhua Street Police Station.
Top criminal police have proven their professional abilities and can easily defeat any scoundrel or gangster in just a few rounds.
Since Xu Hai came to the Longhua Street Police Station, there has been no earth-shattering news, but the number of fights in the jurisdiction of the Longhua Street Police Station has been significantly reduced. Even the school violence that had been complained about by children has been greatly curbed.
Actually, it’s pretty good.”
A policeman is in his prime, but it is difficult for him to have the opportunity to handle major cases.
Saturday was very moving when I heard it.
Wang Caizhi kindly served Zhou Liuyi another bowl of soup:
"I'm telling you this because I want to tell you that you should think twice before doing anything and not act on impulse."
However, Zhou Liu took a sip of the soup and said:
"If it were me, I would do the same!"
Wang Caizhi was stunned.
Zhou Liuyi was sitting with a big horse and a golden sword and said:
"Instead of living a life of meekness for a few trivial things, it is better to do what you want to do vigorously. This is more satisfying."
What?
In fact, Xu Hai was smoking not far away. After hearing Zhou Liuyi's passionate words, he walked over. His usually casual movements now seemed very brisk, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth that only teenagers have.
Wang Caizhi smiled bitterly:
"Only someone like you can appreciate someone like Zhou Liuyi."
Xu Hai gave Zhou Liu a pack of cigarettes:
"You said that when people are young, they don't go crazy just to move up the ladder and get a few hundred yuan more salary every month. What's the point?"
But Wang Caizhi shook his head:
"It's an ideal, but we have to be realistic. Do you think you are knights? We are police officers. We have to believe that the law can achieve true fairness and justice."
Xu Hai smoked another cigarette, and the smoke was thick:
"If just reading the law a few times would work, what would the police be for?"
Then he looked at Saturday One:
"I tell you, if the laws and regulations cannot provide you with fairness and justice, we police officers can!"
Wang Caizhi was helpless. Although he did not have a high level of education and was a driver by profession, he attached the most importance to rules. From the day he took the steering wheel, he understood that every rule and regulation was obtained with blood and tears.
So on this point, he and Xu Hai disagreed:
"The wild world."
However, their different opinions did not prevent them from being good brothers in the institute. Wang Caizhi called the boss lady:
"Bring me another bottle of wine."
Xu Hai poured the wine himself:
"Drink without worries. I want to see how much you can drink so that you can have a better idea of how much you can drink next time you drink with others."
However, the first thing that couldn't hold on was Xu Hai's wallet. He felt painful and asked Zhou Liuyi to stop drinking, and then went out with Wang Caizhi to take a taxi.
On Saturday Monday, he could actually walk straight, as if he wasn't drunk at all.
But this time, he didn't say anything. The first time he got drunk, he lost his memory. He learned his lesson this time...
It was already two or three in the morning. He saw that the streets were deserted. Some breakfast shops had already turned on their lights, but Saturday's circle was red.
His sister once said that when their father was alive, he liked to read while smoking, and he also liked to watch football. He would jump for joy when he saw a goal.
When his mother was pregnant with him, his father never drank alcohol and only smoked in the kitchen with the range hood on.
His mother's cooking is terrible, but his father is an excellent cook. He can make dishes almost the same as those in the restaurant by following the recipe and looking at the pictures.
His father knows English, but his sister could never speak English words or remember them when she was studying, so his father often taught her to sing English songs when he picked her up from school.
…
Unfortunately, he has none of these.
His childhood was so dark.
For a long time, at around 4 o'clock in the morning, regardless of wind, frost, rain or snow, his mother would ride a 28-inch bicycle with him in front and his sister in the back. Sometimes there were potholes and rocks on the road, and the three of them would fall off the bicycle. The two children would cry, and his mother would grit her teeth, pick up the bicycle, and put the two crying children back on the bicycle while cursing...
The winters when I was a child were so cold!
The snow fell into my neck like a knife.
The wind felt like a slap in the face.
His mother's hands, covered with chilblains, supported the small shop to make a living, so she couldn't hold him in her arms. Even if she held him in her arms, it would be difficult to provide him with food and clothing.
He raised him and his sister by cooking a bowl of steaming instant noodles, earning less than 20 cents in profit.
His childhood was not even one tenth of his sister's. It was a bank robber who took away his childhood...
When Zhou Liu was walking down the stairs, he tripped hard. Wang Caizhi quickly supported him. Zhou Liu covered his face with his hands. He smelled the cigarettes and alcohol on Xu Hai and Wang Caizhi, and suddenly felt a little at ease.
If his father were still alive, would he be a kind, upright, humorous and lovely person like these old policemen in the police station?
Zhou Liuyi leaned on Wang Caizhi's shoulder and murmured:
"Dad, I miss you so much!"
Wang Caizhi heard Zhou Liuyi speak, but he didn't hear clearly:
"Liuyi, what did you say?"
He was answered with the even, sleeping breathing.
Xu Hai looked at Zhou Liuyi and said to Wang Caizhi:
"When I look at him, it's like looking at ourselves when we were young, full of passion and courage to move forward."
Wang Caizhi's graying hair makes him look very energetic:
"That's right. Everyone has been young. When I was young, everyone who saw me said I was the driving god of Akina Mountain."
Li Hua asked cheerfully:
"Uncle Wang, do you still know the God of Cars in Akina Mountain?"
Lao Wang nodded:
"That is."
However, he turned around and asked Zhou Liuyi:
"What is the Akina Mountain Car God? Tell me secretly, don't let Huazi know, he will laugh at me."
