It was still early, and considering that Saturday had never been a police officer and had no experience in handling the situation, Li Juan said a lot:
"Regulations are static, but people are dynamic. If you work in a police station for a long time, you will know how things should be handled. Some things cannot be handled just by following regulations. We govern the country according to the law, but we put people first."
Saturday stopped and asked curiously:
"Sister Li, does that mean we can't just follow the laws and regulations when we handle cases?"
Li Juan nodded, wishing she could teach him everything she knew:
"If it is illegal but not criminal, we will mainly criticize and educate the offender. For example, if two parties are fighting, if they can reach a settlement, we will not file a case."
"You may become the deputy principal of law in a nearby primary or middle school in the future. You will have to educate children about the law and make sure they think of calling the police first when they encounter problems such as school bullying."
"There are several schools nearby, including elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and vocational schools, but none of them are key schools. You are a top student, so you may not understand the survival rules of these bad schools. The quality of students in these schools is relatively poor, and sometimes your words are like talking to a cow. But don't think that the problem is simple. It is more difficult and complicated to deal with. You will understand it after dealing with them a few more times."
"One example that we always tell, especially to freshmen, is a murder case caused by an emotional dispute. A boy's girlfriend was stolen by another man, so he took a knife and stabbed her to death. He also called on people from the dormitory to help because they were all adults. The main culprit was sentenced to 15 years in prison, and the group of people who followed him with knives and steel pipes were sentenced to several years."
"When dealing with cases involving young people in schools, the most important thing is to popularize the law and advise young people not to get carried away by passion, especially not to do irrational things for the sake of brotherhood."
…
After a while, two sheets of paper in Zhou Liuyi's notebook were full, and it was almost time to get off work, so Li Juan asked him to look at the ledger form and start working in the afternoon.
Li Juan kept looking at her watch, a little absent-minded. When the time came, she changed her clothes, picked up her bag, got on her electric bike and left, not even bothering to go to the cafeteria to eat:
"My child has a fever today, so I'll go back to check on him first. I might take a leave in the afternoon. You and Qingmei should work hard. If you need anything, just take it from my workstation."
Huang Qingmei was still struggling with the form. She lived far from home and would not go home after eating in the cafeteria. She glanced at Zhou Liuyi:
"You want to ask, Sister Li is so capable at work, why is she still an auxiliary police officer? Sister Li originally had the opportunity to become a regular police officer, but she had to go to the countryside to train for a few years.
Her child was not in good health, and it was time for him to go to junior high school. She was reluctant to leave her child. In addition, the interpersonal relationships in our station were simple, and auxiliary police officers also had five insurances and one fund, and the salary was decent. As long as our police station did not go bankrupt, Sister Li would not be dismissed, so Sister Li never left.
Here I only work as a clerk, so my working hours are more regular. If I were to go to a police station in the countryside, where there are fewer people, I would probably be so busy that I wouldn’t even have time to answer a phone call.”
Li Juan has been working here for more than ten years. If nothing unexpected happens, she will work here until retirement.
Zhou Liuyi's expression became solemn. He was also worried that he would work in this position at the police station until he died.
Seeing that Zhou Liuyi was listening attentively and no longer had that annoying grin on his face, she softened her tone:
"But our office is really busy. I haven't had a sip of water this morning. Because when I went to call you, my computer screen went black. I had to redo half of the form I had just finished."
It turns out that there is a reason why Huang Qingmei has a bad attitude. It is impossible for anyone to be in a good mood if their work is interrupted and they have to start all over again.
Zhou Liuyi immediately took a disposable paper cup and got a glass of water.
Huang Qingmei refused, her tone was arrogant and professional, as contemptuous and superior as ever:
"Don't do that. If it spills on the keyboard, my work this month will be in vain. Let me remind you again, don't put snacks and water cups on your desk. If there are oil spots from spicy noodles and marks from water cups on the documents, you can expect Sister Li to scold you. Documents to be handed over to the public security, procuratorate and court must be clean and tidy, preferably without even a crease.
I think your handwriting is not very good, it's like a dog crawling, it'd better be clearer, otherwise you can expect the director to scold you to death."
Zhou Liuyi actually wanted to say that in order to remember quickly, he used shorthand marks instead of the actual words used when writing the document. However, Huang Qingmei turned off the computer and even tore off the public password on the computer. It was obvious that she neither appreciated the gesture nor wanted to live in harmony with Zhou Liuyi in the same office.
Zhou Liuyi is regretting his decision so much now. Why did he throw away his shoes at that time? And why didn’t he apologize properly after that?
In this kind of window-related unit, especially where there are more women than men, female colleagues are generally not easy to deal with, otherwise they will not stay...
The beautiful woman doesn’t appreciate it?
If I become a bootlicker now, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to get along with you. After all, the person in front of me is a real beauty, and I have seen all kinds of ways to please her.
It's too late to mend the fold.
Zhou Liuyi didn't plan to mend the relationship, he just picked up the cup, drank it himself, and said with a joking smile:
"I didn't pour it for you, no need to say thank you."
Huang Qingmei's pretty face was so angry that it was about to smoke, and she went straight to the cafeteria.
Zhou Yi finished the work left by Li Juan and went to the cafeteria. He looked at the watch and thought he was already late enough, but he didn't expect that he arrived at the cafeteria earlier than everyone else.
Having just graduated from university and working directly at the company, he was really not used to it, because in university the cafeteria usually opened for lunch at 11 o'clock, and there would only be a few people there sooner, and no one was very busy and was very leisurely.
He couldn't help but gasp. It is said that the police station has the heaviest workload among all police units. Looking at the atmosphere in the cafeteria, he finally understood why. Everyone seemed to be scrambling to eat. They didn't seem to care much about what they were eating, but they had to eat fast and walk fast. They were completely racing against time.
In front of Peng Zhiyuan was a stainless steel basin with seven or eight steamed buns in it. He was eating them diligently. His police cell phone was on the table and he had to pick it up from time to time to answer a call.
The director would ask him about the progress of the case, people from the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments would urge him to quickly fill in the gaps in the solid evidence, and people from sister units would ask him if he had time to join in the arrest.
In a word:
busy!
Zhou Liu was a little scared when he saw it, but Peng Zhiyuan smiled as he looked at the frantic child in front of him:
"Don't be afraid, take it one step at a time, and you'll get used to it slowly."
Zhou Liuyi really wanted to say, I can't get used to it, but Peng Zhiyuan had already finished the remaining half of the steamed bun in one mouthful, and a bowl of soup seemed to be poured directly into his mouth. After finishing his meal, he picked up the police communication card and strode out.
I looked at the watch on Saturday and was shocked. I finished seven steamed buns in just five minutes. And you still said don’t be afraid?
Wang Caizhi made a bowl of noodles, noodle soup and side dishes, and sat down opposite Zhou Liuyi with a sense of ceremony:
"He graduated from the Military Sports Institute and has been in the army for more than ten years. He eats faster than most people."
It seemed that he was trying hard to prove that the police station was not as perverted as Peng Zhiyuan showed, but Wang Caizhi's professional habits betrayed him. He picked up half a bowl of noodles with one chopstick and sucked it down in one gulp. From a distance, it looked like he was drinking noodles, not eating them.
I was stunned on Saturday. Is it necessary to rush to have a meal?
Hu Liang's hand was injured. He filled a bowl with rice and walked over with a wooden spoon. He didn't say anything, but just concentrated on eating.
Li Hua got his meal and a bottle of cold Coke. He took a sip of Coke and a bite of his meal, and walked towards Zhou Liuyi with a step that showed no regard for his relatives...
Wang Caizhi frowned as he looked at Li Hua and said:
"Alternating between hot and cold is not good for your stomach. If you do this for a long time, you will get stomach ulcers and calcium deficiency..."
Li Hua finished a bottle of Coke in two gulps in front of Wang Caizhi and burped comfortably:
“Although it’s not healthy, it’s fun!”
Wang Caizhi was helpless:
"This nitpicking guy!"
Huang Qingmei ordered some vegetables and half a portion of rice, and sat by the window, eating them in small bites.
When Li Hua saw Huang Qingmei, his eyes lit up immediately. He stopped eating and bought her a drink. Huang Qingmei refused without even raising her eyelids:
“I don’t drink carbonated drinks.”
Li Hua did not give up:
“I saw you bought this after get off work yesterday!”
Huang Qingmei said calmly:
"I wanted to drink yesterday, but I don't want to drink today. Is that a problem?"
Li Hua had obviously hit a snag. He was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer. He answered stupidly:
"no problem."
Huang Qingmei bit the green vegetables with her pearly teeth, which made her lips and teeth look even redder and whiter, and she looked extremely cool:
"You're blocking my view of the scenery outside the window."
After hearing this, Li Hua had nothing to say and returned dejected. Seeing this, Wang Caizhi couldn't eat the noodles anymore and laughed:
“It’s great to be young!”
Li Hua glared:
"Old Wang, don't laugh at me. If you were 20 years younger, you would be the same as me!"
Wang Caizhi waved his hand:
"No, no, no, we are different. Even if I am 20 years younger, I am definitely not as shameless as you."
Zhou Liuyi originally wanted to hold back from laughing, but after Wang Caizhi finished speaking, he really couldn't help it.
Li Hua was not discouraged at all and asked him:
"What did you guys talk about this morning? I saw you guys were mumbling to each other at your workstations for most of the day, and you were still talking and laughing."
What?
Is Huang Qingmei so cold?
Zhou Liuyi thought Huang Qingmei was targeting him in the morning, but now it seems that this beautiful woman really treats everyone equally. He picked out all the vegetables and threw them away, and only ate the meat slices:
"Let's talk about work."
Li Hua hurriedly asked:
"No more?"
I stopped eating the meat after I picked it on Saturday:
“No more.”
Li Hua was a little disappointed. He looked in the direction of Huang Qingmei, almost getting tired of it:
"When can I sit down and have a meal with her?"
Saturday looked in the direction of Huang Qingmei. She was pretty, but her temper was too bad:
"Haven't you seen pretty girls on your phone or computer?"
Li Hua shook his head:
"How can the beauties on the computer compare to the real ones?"
Wang Caizhi was no longer interested in the young people's topics, but he watched with a smile. After he finished eating, he went to get another dish for Zhou Liuyi and asked Aunt Li to fry an egg for him. He then taught the young man earnestly:
"Young people should not be picky about food, so that they can grow healthily."
Saturday I can't refuse, I can only say thank you:
"Thank you, Brother Wang."
Wang Caizhi looked at Zhou Liuyi lovingly:
"Eat more."
At this time, the command center received a call and Hu Liang took on the task. He ate half of a bowl of noodles, looked around, and his eyes stayed on Li Hua and Zhou Liuyi for a long time, not knowing who to choose.
Although the director repeatedly emphasized that Saturday's work was clerical work, in police units, especially in police stations where staff were extremely short, women were used like men and men were used like animals, so there wouldn't be so many requirements.
Saturday wanted to call the police, and waved:
"Brother Liang, I'm not busy this afternoon!"
Hu Liang frowned, and suddenly remembered Zhou Liuyi's madness in the morning, so he dragged Li Hua away:
"Hua Zi, hurry up!"
When Li Hua stood up, he scooped a spoonful of liquid into his mouth:
"Brother Liang, I haven't finished eating yet!"
Hu Liang also pulled him even though he had a wound on his hand:
"It's been 20 minutes, it's time to finish eating. I've told you so many times not to play games or chat while eating, and to concentrate on eating quickly, but you just won't listen..."
Li Huasheng was taken away helplessly, still wailing:
"Don't I even have the qualifications to talk to a beautiful woman?"
Wang Caizhi picked up the soup bowl. The director called to ask about Wang Caizhi's police dispatch record in the morning. He still hadn't finished writing the report, which needed to be submitted tomorrow. Wang Caizhi didn't argue, put down the bowl, and left in a hurry, and also reminded Zhou Liuyi:
"Young people should eat more so they can hold on in the afternoon."
The entire cafeteria seemed empty in an instant. There was no one left. He had an indescribable feeling that this kind of life might become the norm in the future.
Zhou Liu was sitting not far from the cafeteria window. Aunt Li, who was cleaning up, spoke to him:
"Young man, you are not used to it when you first come here, right? You will get used to it in the future. It is considered good to have a meal in the station. In the summer, when there is a heavy rain, we eat by the river bank. When we are on patrol, we eat on the curb. When there are many police incidents, the noodles are flattened into pancakes, but we still have to eat that way. Otherwise, why am I the only one cooking in a unit with so many people?"
Zhou Liuyi suddenly felt that the food in front of him didn’t seem so bad.
At this time, Jiang Hanshan came downstairs. He had dealt with some things and hurried to eat a few mouthfuls of food to go to the street to repair his glasses. Seeing that Zhou Liu still had a lot of rice left on his plate, he asked him:
"Is the food not to your taste?"
Zhou Liuyi saw that it was the instructor and immediately shook his head:
"No, the food is good, but I am too picky about food."
Jiang Hanshan liked this energetic and smart young man, so he sat opposite him. His professional habit made him start to lecture the young man:
"You are justified in not working properly and not eating properly. But I advise you to finish your meal, otherwise Mr. Fu will scold you if he sees you. Since you are already in the cafeteria, you can't be too picky about food..."
Zhou Liuyi didn't dislike the food here at first, but he got annoyed by Tang Seng's chanting while eating. He didn't pick up the chopsticks and spoon obediently, but answered Jiang Hanshan's question seriously:
"Instructor, you are not picky about food because the canteen buys and cooks the dishes you like. You don't complain about your work because you have to do the same job for a lifetime. We are different."
Jiang Hanshan had a headache. Why did another argumentative person come?
He originally thought that Li Hua already liked to argue, but he didn't expect that someone who was even better at it would come along:
"I don't have any objections to you, I just want to propose some better solutions. Young people can't always follow their own wishes. They should always consider and understand others..."
Zhou Liuyi smiled and asked Jiang Hanshan:
"Instructor, what do your parents do for a living?"
Jiang Hanshan blurted out:
"My father was a university teacher. After he resigned, he founded a research institute. My mother was a junior high school teacher. After she resigned, she helped my father run a bunch of things. What's wrong with that?"
Jiang Hanshan is well-dressed and his temperament is much more generous than those who work in the system. It is definitely not just a small training class as he said. He is already very humble.
Hearing this, Zhou Liuyi stopped arguing and quickly picked up the chopsticks and reached for the plate. He finished eating in two or three bites. Jiang Hanshan was a little surprised. Zhou Liuyi said:
"I'm full, instructor, I'm leaving first!"
After leaving on Saturday, Jiang Hanshan realized that he had never paid attention to the dishes in the cafeteria. His plate was indeed filled with his favorite dishes. A long time ago, the cafeteria had collected their favorite dishes, but later due to the large turnover of staff, these menus were fixed and never changed.
Kids nowadays don't like it?
Could it be that the three auxiliary police officers who ran away with the buckets left because they didn’t like the food in the cafeteria?
Jiang Hanshan thought a lot. This time was very precious and he might not have time to repair his glasses.
After finishing his meal, Jiang Hanshan went to the window and saw Aunt Li cleaning up the kitchen waste. He asked intentionally or unintentionally:
"Aunt Li, is there anything particular about buying vegetables and cooking every day?"
Aunt Li said casually:
"Old Wang likes noodles, Hu Liang prefers sweet food, Da Peng eats a lot, the director asked us to control costs and not buy too expensive dishes. Juanzi often takes meals home to eat with her son and likes colorful dishes. You like green vegetables. Xu Hai, the old criminal policeman, has the most problems. He doesn't allow us to add peppers and peppercorns or other seasonings that take half a day to pick out, nor does he allow us to buy fish that is troublesome to eat. He requires that the food must be eaten within five minutes and you must leave quickly..."
Therefore, the meals in the cafeteria are cheap potatoes, sugared eggs and tomatoes, braised pork which is especially delicious with rice, colorful shredded pork with fish flavor... the combinations are very fixed.
Aunt Li quickly polished the stainless steel worktop until it was shiny and put the kitchen utensils back into the cabinet. Seeing that Jiang Hanshan was not talking and was a little distracted, she asked him:
"Instructor, why are you asking me this?"
Jiang Hanshan smiled:
"Nothing, I just feel that young people are different from when we were young."
Jiang Hanshan himself had never realized that the cafeteria had always been cooking according to their requirements. He was so used to it that he thought it was always like this, and this kid saw it after eating one meal.
Aunt Li nodded in agreement:
"That's right, these kids are the new generation. I have no idea what's in their heads. I can't communicate with my grandson at all."
Jiang Hanshan was very busy and had already walked out of the cafeteria, but then returned:
"By the way, go back and ask the newcomers what they like to eat and add some dishes for lunch. A few more people may come in a while, and if we're short of staff, we may hire another one."
Aunt Li said cheerfully:
"I've already asked, Huazi said he wanted fried chicken! Lao Wang thinks it's unhealthy. No need to hire anyone, I can handle it on my own."
When Jiang Hanshan heard about fried chicken, he had the same idea as Wang Caizhi, thinking it was unhealthy. But when he thought about Li Hua's happy look when he drank a bottle of iced Coke every noon and Zhou Yi's focused search for meat slices in the dishes, he agreed:
"Okay, one fried chicken drumstick for each person."
When I got home on Saturday, Huang Qingmei was already busy at her workstation and didn't even lie down on the table to take a nap.
The stack of documents was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Li Juan went to the branch to get the promotional materials, and Zhang Guilan took the information to the Criminal Police Brigade to cooperate with the arrests from other provinces in Sanjiang City, so Huang Qingmei was the only one left to do the clerical work.
However, Huang Qingmei still ignored Zhou Liuyi and completely treated him as air.
When someone came to replace the second-generation ID card and register fingerprints, Huang Qingmei put down what she was doing and did not let Zhou Liuyi interfere at all.
I sat for a while on Saturday and felt embarrassed to just sit there with nothing to do.
He watched other people in the institute come in and out. Hu Liang hadn't finished his lunch yet, so he took his takeaway back to the office to eat. His hair was disheveled, his face was black and blue, and his hands were wrapped in gauze for some reason. Zhou Liuyi hurried over to open the takeaway box for him:
"Brother Liang, why did you come back so late? It shouldn't take long to get a tetanus shot, right?"
Hu Liang bit the disposable chopsticks in half with his mouth, not taking the wound on his body seriously:
"When I went to the hospital to get a tetanus shot, I happened to see someone beating up a doctor, so I went to deal with it."
Saturday's surprise:
"Is there such a thing?"
Hu Liang held the chopsticks in his hand and began to eat voraciously:
"You will understand in the future. If you encounter a pickpocket on the bus, a woman molester in the subway station, or a child kidnapper at the school gate, you need to take action."
Zhou Liuyi poured Hu Liang another glass of water. Hu Liang drank the water and ate his rice:
"Do you know who is the person who does the most to stop patients from making trouble in the hospital?"
Zhou Liuyi shook his head, not knowing what Hu Liang meant by asking this. Hu Liang smiled and said:
"It's the scalpers, because these skilled doctors are their bread and butter. If doctors are hacked to death or injured by medical rioters, they can no longer see patients or perform operations. Scalpers feel as uncomfortable seeing doctors being beaten as if they were being beaten themselves."
Zhou Liuyi was very surprised, and Hu Liang continued to explain to him:
"But we police officers are different. We have no vested interests. When we encounter any illegal or criminal behavior, we must not show fear. We must take out our police ID, shout "I am a police officer," and go to stop it."
After eating the takeaway, Hu Liang took another case and went out in a hurry.
Wang Caizhi, Hu Liang, and Li Hua ran in and out several times, but there were not enough people, so they arranged and combined with each other several times.
They threw the materials on the table, and he often left halfway through writing. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to stand under the air conditioner to cool down. Even so, no one asked him to help.
Hu Liang actually wanted to take Zhou Liuyi out, but the director came back:
"Liangzi, can't you handle this little thing?"
The way Hu Liang looked at Zhou Liuyi was like a lover looking at his beloved girl, who was so out of reach. He gritted his teeth, settled for the next best thing, and called Li Hua away.
Zhou Liuyi was holding back his anger and took the initiative to greet Xu Hai. This old criminal detective looked much more casual. As soon as he came in, he lay down under the air conditioner and took out his mobile phone from time to time to play games, those particularly stupid games like Candy Crush Saga and Connect the Dots. He played games purely to kill time and was not afraid of the surveillance above his head at all.
"Brother Xu, can you take me with you when you go out?"
Xu Hai looked at Zhou Liuyi:
"Want to go out?"
Zhou Liuyi was sure that he looked like a kind and harmless college student, particularly sincere and simple.
But Xu Hai's lazy eyes only glanced at him a few times, like an old farmer looking at the unripe watermelons in the melon field:
"Just do your thing!"
What?
What do I have to do?
Zhou Liu was completely confused. He watched Xu Hai answer a phone call and go out again.
Li Hua came back from his third run. His blue shirt was stained with white stains because he was sweating too much. He went to the dormitory to change, and ran out with two bottles of mineral water in his hands, shouting:
"I'm so tired. Even if I'm an animal, you can't order me around like this, right? My WeChat step count has reached 8,000 steps now! My knees are going to break."
Xu Hai was waiting for him in the police car and called to urge him:
"Hurry up, let's send a police officer to a nursing home that's a little further away. How old are you? Why are you slower than those old men and women? Should I apply for a bed for you in the nursing home and just put you there to live?"
These were unpleasant words, and after Xu Hai finished scolding Li Hua, he hung up the phone.
Li Hua wanted to cry but had no tears:
"The director promised to recruit three more auxiliary police officers, why haven't they come yet? I'm the only one working non-stop, I'm going to be wasted."
Zhou Liuyi, who was bored, thought that this was just a show of wealth. Zhou Liuyi thought that Li Hua could open a loophole here, so he stood up and called out to him:
"Brother Li, take me with you!"
Zhou Liuyi was the first in the provincial exam, and his position in the provincial department had not yet been assigned. He was called Li Hua, which meant Brother Li. Li Hua was very pleased with his position, and he also thought it was okay to bring Zhou Liuyi with him:
"Okay, come on."
But once they got out of the door, Xu Hai sat in the passenger seat, opened his eyes with drooping eyelids, glanced at Zhou Liuyi, and said lazily:
"Two old men were spitting shit at an old lady in a nursing home. Why would three of them go together for such a trivial matter?"
Zhou Liuyi was also angry and slammed the car door:
"When did I say I was going to handle the police? I can't finish my office work."
Xu Hai has a rough appearance, but is not easily recognizable. When he looks at people suddenly, his eyes seem to have hooks, which makes people feel creepy.
Zhou Liuyi couldn't help but take a step back.
Xu Hai looked at Zhou Liuyi and threw another hammer:
"It's troublesome enough for me to take care of a fool, so don't bother me. If you really have that ability, you can get the job done even if you just sit in the station. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'A scholar knows everything about the world without leaving home?'"
This was said in a sarcastic tone, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Zhou Liu turned around and ran back to the office. Just by looking at his back, you could feel that his anger was rising.
Li Hua scratched his head:
"Master, aren't you going too far by doing this?"
Xu Hai leaned back in his chair and said lazily:
"Drive quickly, there's no need to talk so much nonsense."
Li Hua stepped on the accelerator, causing Xu Hai to bounce violently. He continued to speak for Zhou Liuyi without feeling guilty at all:
"Li Hua was not convinced and said, 'Master, you didn't teach me this at the beginning. If a person stays in the office all the time, he will be useless. In the future, he will just He is definitely not a good policeman if he doesn't work as a criminal policeman. Why don't you take that kid out?"
Xu Hai ignored him and adjusted his sitting position:
"I'm just confused. Lao Wang drives as steadily as the sofa at home. How come you drive like you can send me away?"
Li Hua had a sullen face and didn't say a single nice word:
"Lao Wang is a professional escort with all kinds of driving licenses. He used to drive serious criminals through no-man's land. He claims that even if you put a piece of tofu in the car, it won't fall apart after driving 2,000 kilometers. If he drives a professional racing car, he is just bullying the professional racing drivers because they are amateurs.
I've only had my driver's license for less than a year, and I can't even get on the highway. Master, you just have to sit still.
I'm just an auxiliary police officer, that's all I can do, I make less than 3,000 yuan a month, and you still want me to be a Transformer?"
Xu Hai's hook shot hit him on the head like a sugar-roasted chestnut:
"Can you have some aspirations? There is a machine for doing questions in the institute. You can learn from it. I have heard that they want to give you the notes for the civil service exam, but you don't want them."
Li Hua felt a little guilty and didn't dare to continue talking.
Xu Hai had been a policeman for a long time and was more tolerant of others. He explained, "You said I was overdoing it? Let me ask you, if those crazy martial artists really couldn't control themselves this morning, what would you have done?"
Li Hua's forehead was covered with sweat:
"Of course I ran, towards the director, the director brought a gun!"
Xu Hai lit a cigarette and opened the window to let in:
"Yes! Just run. Normal people would do what they should do when they encounter danger, based on responsibility and morality. Just like when we worked together to stop that martial arts madman, we all have an instinctive fear of danger and we all gritted our teeth and persevered. But what about that kid?"
Li Hua wiped the sweat off his head, recalled the scene in the morning, and came back to his senses:
"He was talking and laughing with that martial arts madman!"
Xu Hai put out the cigarette in his hand:
"So, don't bring him with you when you're on police duty in the future."
Li Hua had a bitter face, looking puzzled:
"But when I first came here, didn't you all teach me that police officers who don't handle police calls definitely have no future?"
Xu Hai threw another trick on Li Hua's head:
“Are you the same kind of person as that child who dropped out of school?”
Li Hua stiffened his neck and drove the police car, which was honking everywhere except the horn, at full speed:
"He passed the exam, but doesn't he still have one year left in his internship? I'm just an auxiliary police officer, but as long as I pass the exam, what's the big deal?"
Xu Hai looked at Li Hua. This guy was not only a nagging guy, but also mentally retarded. He took a puff of his cigarette and finished half of it in one breath. His tone was particularly solemn:
"He was recruited by Liang Peihe."
Li Hua's eyes lit up instantly, and his sluggish spirit became excited as if he had been filled with a bucket of coffee:
"Director Liang? The big shot in the Municipal Bureau? Doesn't he only handle major cases and deal with provincial departments and the Ministry of Public Security?"
Xu Hai looked at Li Hua meaningfully, and suddenly felt that Li Hua was not as smart as Zhou Liuyi, and his qualities in all aspects were not as good, which might also be a kind of happiness.
Zhou Liu watched the gray police car drive away and returned to the office. Huang Qingmei was still busy and still didn't glance at him.
However, this aloof policewoman in front of him was much cuter than the old-fashioned Xu Hai. At least her words were much more polite and she wouldn't curse him in a roundabout way.
He lowered himself:
"Sister Qingmei, please show me the way."
Huang Qingmei didn't even raise her eyelids, her ten fingers continued to fly on the keyboard:
"Then you should mop the floor first."
Huang Qingmei actually just wanted Zhou Liuyi to stop bothering her, but Zhou Liuyi went out with a bucket and a mop, mopping the floor very carefully, and soon the white tiles were clean and glistening.
This kid has no temper?
Huang Qingmei finally looked up at Zhou Liuyi, but did not hand him the document in her hand. Instead, she continued to assign tasks:
"Water the flowers once more."
Zhou Liuyi did not argue, but took the shower and went out again. Not only did he water the flowers, he also wiped all the leaves of the weeping angel with a rag. After doing all this, he came over and said to Huang Qingmei:
"Sister Qingmei, I can also make a spreadsheet, why don't you give this to me."
Huang Qingmei, however, kept on doing things, and continued to let Zhou Liuyi go wherever he wanted:
"Can't you see? We don't need any staff, you're the only one who's redundant, take a rest. It's half past three now, and we can have dinner in two hours. Although the director is not here, he will call everyone to ask about their work situation."
Zhou Liu was at a loss for what to do and wanted to pull Huang Qingmei's chair away:
"Sister Qingmei, I was wrong. Can you please assign me a task?"
Huang Qingmei's icy poker face showed no ripples at all. It could even be said that she simply ignored Zhou Liuyi and no matter what Zhou Liuyi said, she would no longer respond.
In the workplace, the most terrifying thing is not being scolded. Being scolded means that you still have value to be exploited.
The most terrifying thing is the cold treatment. The director threw him to the clerical department, and Officer Zhang threw him to his subordinates. If he doesn't find a way out for himself, he will most likely be marginalized.
Zhou Liuyi was almost sweating on his back because this opportunity was particularly important to him.
Thinking of the director's gloomy face, I feel a little scared. He is no longer in the unit, but I still have to call to ask about the situation and work progress. It's like calling to ask him what he did today.
What did he say?
The whole day, I just had lunch, mopped the floor and watered the flowers?
The director is particularly good at scolding people. You don’t need to think to know what the director would scold him on the phone: Good-for-nothing, you live a more comfortable life than a retired old man. Are you blind? Don’t you see that other people are busy as hell and are about to vomit blood?
It's so suffocating.
What if I tell him to get out right away after scolding him?
…
Zhou Liu could no longer sit still, so he left his seat and went to look at the bulletin board in the institute. On it were photos and positions of all the people in the institute. Lao He and Lao Gu had retired, so their photos had been taken down.
From Huang Qingmei to the director, each of them can be said to be the face of the police station, capable, powerful, and obviously a strong police officer. Zhou Liu looked around like a fly looking for an egg with a crack, and finally locked on Li Hua.
He called Li Hua and was determined to snatch an opportunity to go out on the police mission from Li Hua.
Li Hua hung up the phone without answering. This was not like Li Hua. Even when talking to the director, he would just argue directly. Why would he hang up on him?
The case just now was not difficult.
I added him on WeChat on Saturday and was accepted within seconds. Li Hua’s profile picture was of himself in a police uniform and saluting. His nickname was Sanjiang Constable.
In fact, in Li Hua's heart, he still wanted to work hard to become a policeman, a real Sanjiang constable, rather than a temporary auxiliary policeman. If it weren't for this career pursuit, he would have run away like the other three auxiliary policemen.
Zhou Liuyi originally wanted to send him a message to ask if he had any cases that needed to be handled, but thinking of Xu Hai's attitude, he changed the dialog box again and again and asked Li Hua:
What flavors of milk tea and coffee does Huang Qingmei like?
Li Hua sent me a few emojis saying "wow", his excitement filling the entire screen:
Brother, are you going to please the goddess too?
Zhou Liu looked at Huang Qingmei's beautiful and cold face and sent a message to Li Hua without hesitation:
roll!
Li Hua sent him a mean emoji and gave him some tips on how to pick up girls:
It's not shameful to please the goddess. Let me tell you, although the goddess has a bad temper, is a bit pretentious, and spends a lot of money, nowadays girls, even if they are fat and pockmarked, still think they are little fairies. You just are not worthy of her, so you might as well start with the goddess from the beginning.
Saturday is speechless:
Dog licker!
Li Hua types quite fast, probably because he has been taking too many notes on the computer recently:
If you please a goddess, you will be the goddess's spare tire and licker, but if you please a group of goddesses, then you will have a fish pond!
On Saturday, I received a string of ellipsis and I didn’t know how to respond.
Li Hua sent another message:
Seeing that you are also helpless with the goddess, I feel relieved. Huang Qingmei is very arrogant. She will definitely not drink the milk tea you buy for her. Just like a cat, even if you buy her the most expensive cat can in the world, she will still ignore you, and look at you with contempt and disdain, but I like her like this.
Zhou Liuyi felt bitter in his heart. He just wanted to handle the case and had no interest in the goddess sister!
But Li Hua kept talking about Huang Qingmei every other sentence and didn't mention anything about the case.
Saturday I looked at Huang Qingmei:
"Sister Qingmei, Brother Li wants to pursue you!"
Huang Qingmei raised her delicate eyes. She herself was the most beautiful poster of the Longhua Street Police Station. But her red lips opened:
"Stop him dreaming!"
Zhou Liuyi is really not afraid of offending Huang Qingmei now:
"Why?"
Huang Qingmei's thoughts were stuck, so she said one more sentence:
"He went out to send a drunk home. If the drunk's electric bike was lost, he would be blackmailed. If he couldn't find the electric bike, he would be complained about and criticized and scolded every day. Why would I look for such a loser?"
I was so embarrassed on Saturday. No way, there is such a weird case in the police station? Not only did they ask the police to send the drunkard home, but they also asked them to send the electric bike back?
Since we were not on the same page, there was no point in saying anything more and the awkward silence began again.
Suddenly, Huang Qingmei's computer screen went black. She quickly stood up, checked the computer's circuits, and then kept pressing the restart button, but the computer didn't respond at all. She stamped her feet anxiously:
"Oh no! I didn't save what I made. Why did my computer crash again?"
Zhou Liuyi graduated from the Computer Science Department of Donghua University. He is proficient in both hardware and software. He can repair computer hardware, write software, and take off the hats of black hats who come to cause trouble.
For him, computer failures in ordinary offices are child's play.
This is his strong point!
On Saturday, I was in a relaxed mood and sent a message to Li Hua:
When you come back in the afternoon, I will ask Huang Qingmei to treat you to milk tea.
Li Hua made a staring expression of disbelief:
So awesome? Then I'll treat you to midnight snacks for a week!
Saturday's reply:
No, you have to take me to the police station.
ah?
Li Hua didn't dare to agree to it casually.
Li Hua came back after buying ice cream and showed Zhou Liuyi's reply to Xu Hai:
"Master, can you agree to this?"
Xu Hai was unpacking the ice cream and lazily watching the two old men quarreling. After he arrived at the nursing home, he brought them from the scorching sun to the air-conditioned room, then asked Li Hua to move two stools for the two old men to sit on, and asked the director to bring the electronic blood pressure monitor. When their blood pressure was a little high, he reminded the two old men to take a break before quarreling.
Xu Hai took a bite of the crispy skin and said casually:
"If you want to treat that boy to midnight snacks for a week, just agree."
Li Hua replied excitedly:
make a deal!
Then Li Hua asked Xu Hai:
"Master, how do you think he can succeed? Huang Qingmei is not familiar with us, and she doesn't even give face to the director and instructor."
Seeing that the two old men were thirsty, Xu Hai instructed Li Hua:
"I'm thirsty, please pour me two glasses of water."
Li Hua quickly went to the water dispenser outside to get some water, and came back to give it to the two old men. After the two old men finished drinking, they actually forgot the words and slapped their foreheads:
"Where did I say that?"
The other uncle still maintained his furious posture:
"You said you like Liu...Liu...Liu what?"
One of them actually forgot the old lady's name. The two of them stared at each other, which looked particularly funny. Li Hua could not help laughing. He looked at Xu Hai. There was no expression on Xu Hai's face, but more of impatience, especially impatience.
Even someone like Li Hua could feel the pain:
The once-famous criminal policeman has solved many major cases, but in his prime, when he would have solved many more shocking cases, he can only deal with these trivial disputes every day. How can he not feel uncomfortable?
Xu Hai said slowly:
"Because this guy is shameless enough to get money from the director. He is really talented!"
Li Hua's face drooped:
"Then Master, if we take him on a police call, what should I do if the director scolds me?"
Xu Hai couldn't help wanting to smoke, but when he saw the sign prohibiting smoking indoors, he felt a little annoyed:
"Write a self-examination."
Li Hua counted on his fingers. He got a headache when he thought about writing:
"I still owe the director fourteen inspection reports that I haven't completed yet."
The two old men quarreled for a long time and felt that it was boring, but they also felt embarrassed to remain in the stalemate and needed a way out.
Xu Hai gave Li Hua a look, and Li Hua hurried forward:
"Grandpas, I know you guys are not the type to bother with arguments. Please give me some face and let this matter go, okay?"
Two old men walked down the steps:
"Okay, we can't make things difficult for the police."
"Let's stop here today. I'm not one to suffer a loss, but the police have spoken, so I'll give them some face."
What Li Hua was muttering in his heart was, if you really don't want to waste police resources on such a small matter, then don't call the police. Is it really that important for such a trivial matter?
But he still had a smile on his face, and just wanted to get this mess done quickly.
He took out the notebook, asked two people to sign it, and then left quickly. The weather was so hot that his throat was steaming.
The director of the nursing home came out with a few bottles of drinks to express his gratitude:
"Thank you for your hard work today, officers. We really had no other choice but to call the police."
Li Hua just stretched out his hand, Xu Hai glared at him, Li Hua instantly remembered the self-criticisms he had written, immediately turned to shake hands with the dean, and said proudly:
"It doesn't matter, it's what we should do."
After going out, Xu Hai gave Li Hua a lesson:
"In mediation work, especially in matters like this where it's hard to tell right from wrong, the most important thing is not the truth of the matter, but to satisfy both parties. Elderly people of this age in nursing homes have enough food, clothing, and money to spend. What they lack most is companionship, and their lives are very lonely..."
Li Hua nodded and gave a thumbs up:
"Master, what you said makes so much sense!"
Xu Hai knocked on his head again:
"Why don't you write down what I said?"
Li Hua spread his hands:
"My phone is running out of battery, so I can't record."
Xu Hai asked him:
"Don't you have arms?"
Li Hua shook his head:
"Master, writing by hand is too tiring. We use computers to take notes now. Why do you still want me to write by hand?"
Xu Hai was speechless. He continued to lazily lean back in his chair with his eyes closed, seemingly not very interested in anything around him.
"Shut up, you nitpicker! Don't tell anyone that I have a disciple like you when you go out."
Now Xu Hai feels that Zhou Liuyi is much more lovable. At least when Zhang Guilan assigned him a task in the morning, he took out a notebook and wrote down every detail.
He was actually looking forward to what this firecracker-like kid could do today.
Huang Qingmei resigned herself to her fate and went to get a glass of water, feeling very irritated.
To her surprise, when she came back with the water, she saw Zhou Liuyi had actually disassembled the host computer and was using a small brush to brush off the dust inside the host computer. He looked very focused, as if he was a professional computer repairman.
"I've been using the computer for too long, so the dust has clogged the ventilation ducts and affected the heat dissipation. I just need to clean out the dust."
Huang Qingmei complained:
"Why didn't you do it earlier? I can't get off work on time today."
Saturday was somewhat helpless and said:
"Sister Qingmei, I've told you so many times to give me some of the work, but it was you who wouldn't let me help."
Huang Qingmei felt embarrassed, but she did not apologize. Instead, she asked Zhou Liuyi:
"How do you know how to repair computers?"
I didn't stop working on Saturday and was already installing the computer:
"My home is next to the electronics city. I helped my classmates repair and buy computers when I was in junior high school. It's not difficult at all."
Huang Qingmei urged him:
"Hurry up, we can't finish the form, it's very difficult..."
Zhou Liuyi quickly pressed a few keys on the computer, and the computer restarted. He asked Huang Qingmei: "Is there a cloud backup?"
Huang Qingmei's tone was very bad and she was very angry:
"What is cloud backup? Our files are only stored in the cloud for 10 GB, so after a certain period of time, the older files will be automatically deleted. If they are not particularly important, do not upload them. We can't let other units see our duty roster, right?"
I checked the file path on Saturday:
"They are indeed gone."
Huang Qingmei was a little disdainful: "I came here two months earlier than you, do you think I only know how to turn on and off the computer?"
Saturday flipped through the table and said:
“It seems I have to redo it.”
Huang Qingmei was even more disdainful:
"I thought the guys in the computer science department at Tokyo University were very capable, but it turns out they only know how to restart, redo, and start over again!"
Saturday morning, I sat at Huang Qingmei's workstation and started to make the table again:
"You are using the wrong input method. It has no root memory and is too inefficient. The function you are calling is too old and you have to calculate it one by one. Why are the computers in our institute so old? Even if you recycle them in the second-hand market, you won't see such models anymore. If they break down, you won't be able to buy parts..."
Huang Qingmei rolled her eyes at him:
"Just do your job. You're a science student. Isn't this your major?"
Zhou Liuyi did not argue and her hands were very quick. She finished the work that Huang Qingmei would take a whole morning to finish in just over half an hour. Moreover, she touched the computer and it was not hot at all.
Huang Qingmei's tone softened:
"You know that in government agencies, a desk can last for thirty years, and a computer can last for ten years. Go to the printing room of the branch office and take a look. The printers there may be older than you."
Zhou Liuyi realized that most of the computers in the workplace are actually only operated by young people. Many people over fifty have reached the retirement age. It is very embarrassing that they will not approve the purchase of so many new equipment. Under Moore's Law, electronic equipment will be updated every eighteen months...
This question is profound.
He immersed himself in work on Saturday and finally got a handle on the work in the institute. He must cherish it.
After finishing the work, Huang Qingmei carefully checked all the forms and found that there were no mistakes. It was much better than what she did at the beginning. However, she would not admit it and asked Zhou Liuyi in a somewhat arrogant manner:
"The computer will never crash again?"
Saturday raised his hair:
"Of course. I repair computers, which means quality. I guarantee that within three months, it won't crash again."
Huang Qingmei breathed a sigh of relief, her spirits high, and she finally looked Zhou Liuyi in the eye:
"I didn't expect you to be so capable."
Zhou Liuyi took the opportunity to ask Huang Qingmei:
"Sister Qingmei, will you treat me to milk tea?"
Huang Qingmei is as arrogant as ever:
"Repairing the company's computers is what you're supposed to do."
When Li Hua came in, he saw Huang Qingmei rejecting Zhou Liuyi. Then Huang Qingmei left her workstation to get printing paper without even glancing at Li Hua.
Seeing that the King of Rolls also fell here with the Iceberg Goddess, Li Hua felt relieved and smiled at Zhou Liuyi:
"I thought you were very capable, just like me.
Let me tell you, since Qingmei started working here, she has received so many boys asking for her WeChat that she can’t even count them on her hands. Even the aunties from the street office came to ask her if she had a boyfriend and wanted to introduce her to someone, but Qingmei ignored any of them.
You will be no exception."
Zhou Liuyi continued to help Huang Qingmei optimize the system. Now that he had started working, his mentality was much better. He said calmly:
"Don't worry, there's still more than an hour before the end of the shift, so the bet counts."
Now Huang Qingmei is willing to talk to him, which is a progress, but Li Hua doesn't think so:
"I just can't do it. I've never seen Qingmei buy drinks for anyone."
Huang Qingmei came back with a stack of papers and glared at Li Hua unhappily:
"I'll pour you a cup of tea with some senna . Do you dare to drink it?"
Li Hua quickly said:
"Qingmei, even if you bring me a bowl of the medicine that Pan Jinlian gave to Wu Dalang, I will still drink it!"
Zhou Liu laughed when he heard this, but Huang Qingmei's face turned pale and she was too lazy to pay attention to Li Hua:
"Who are the people who come to our station? They are either ruffians or thieves. They are often prostitutes in the middle of the night, and there are also registered drug addicts. Do I dare to deal with such people?"
Li Hua patted his chest:
"Qingmei, I am a good young man in society!"
Huang Qingmei looked at Zhou Liuyi:
"You two are a pair of idiots. Once you take off your police uniforms, you are just two cop ruffians. Don't think I don't know that you two are just talking nonsense and you just bet me out. If you dare to have ideas about me, I will dig out your eyes later!"
This girl is quite hot.
She opened the huge old printer and put paper on it without any pretense.
Li Hua didn't take it seriously and continued to smile, as if watching Huang Qingmei working was a particularly relaxing experience:
"Liuyi, do you know who is more manly than the men in the police unit? It's the women in our unit..."
Huang Qingmei was really angry, her work shoes thumped loudly and her eyes were about to roll to the sky.
Just then, a half-bald man with a reflective forehead came over on an electric scooter, carrying a bunch of keys and speaking fluently in a dialect:
"Young policeman, I found a bunch of keys! Show them to me!"
Huang Qingmei put down the printed paper in her hand, walked over to get a sealed plastic bag to put the key in, put a label on it, and then simply registered it.
The man looked at Huang Qingmei and grinned:
"I'll feel relieved if you leave it to the police. I'll leave first."
Zhou Liu looked at the man's shiny forehead and immediately realized something was wrong, so he walked out:
"This guy was riding an electric scooter without a helmet!"
Huang Qingmei was now less than a meter away from Li Hua, and was about to kick him. Li Hua grabbed a pen from Zhou Liu's desk, ran to his own desk, scratched his head, and wrote something:
"Oh, I haven't finished writing this report yet. The director will definitely check the surveillance to see what I did today."
Huang Qingmei had no choice but to give up and turned around to do other things.
Saturday was a bit strange:
"That guy isn't wearing a helmet, shouldn't we go after him?"
Li Hua bit the tip of his pen:
"Just pretend you didn't see it. He came from Xinfeng Street. There was a traffic police on duty there all the time, but they didn't stop him, did they? When you took your driver's license test, did you learn this rule? Minor violations that don't constitute a crime and don't cause any harm can be treated with a verbal warning."
Huang Qingmei was going to put the key directly in a cabinet next to her. She had the same idea as Li Hua, but she said it more convincingly:
"Didn't Sister Juan teach you this morning? Some illegal behaviors are not particularly serious, so a verbal warning and education will be enough. It's almost time to get off work now. If you get stuck in Qifeng Street, I don't know how much trouble it will be. Besides, there is a traffic light every 300 meters in the city, and the speed cannot exceed 30 kilometers per hour, so nothing will happen."
Saturday morning, I stopped what I was doing and asked her:
"Shouldn't we help find the owner of such a big bunch of keys?"
Huang Qingmei looked at him as if he were an idiot:
"What?"
Li Hua was writing a self-criticism, but before he had written a few words, the director called again:
"Have you finished writing the police report for last night?"
Li Hua stammered as he looked at the blank paper:
"Writing...finished!"
The director urged him:
"The videos recorded by the law enforcement recorder must also be uploaded, submit them together. Be careful when uploading. Last time when you went to the toilet, you didn't turn off the camera. Do you know how many people in the provincial department saw it? It was recorded so clearly, and the director was inspecting the command center at the time! I feel embarrassed just thinking about it!"
Li Hua didn't even blush and hung up the phone directly:
"I understand, Director."
Huang Qingmei laughed so hard that she fell backwards. Zhou Liuyi couldn't hold back any more. Li Hua glared at her unhappily.
"How could I know that today's law enforcement cameras have so much power and so much memory? Let them watch if they want. What do I, a man, have to be afraid of? Let me tell you, if I could get a loan with my naked photos, I would get a down payment on a house first!"
Huang Qingmei didn't want to bother with either man:
"shameless!"
Zhou Liuyi still asked Li Hua:
"Why can't we return this key to the owner?"
Li Hua wrote furiously, filling out the police record as if he was being chased by a wolf, and reported it to the command center. He finally realized that he was more experienced than Zhou Liuyi in some aspects, and explained to Zhou Liuyi:
"You don't understand this, do you? There are 80,000 people in our jurisdiction. There is a big market and two supermarkets within two kilometers. There are so many floating populations. Where can we find the owner?
Your luck is so good today. No one reported the loss of your electric scooter and mobile phone. You don’t know that on my first day here, I lost two electric scooters, three bicycles and a mobile phone!
My head was about to explode that day. I checked five or six surveillance cameras but found nothing, and received several complaints.
Even though we now have Sky Eye surveillance cameras to handle cases, in fact, there are too many broken cameras on the road to be found.
Some phones are lost, but someone takes them dozens of kilometers away. How do you think you can get them back? "
Saturday, I picked up the key chain and roughly counted it. There were more than 20 keys, and they were obviously used frequently. The ropes were worn out.
"No matter how difficult it is, we can't just do nothing, right? People who have lost their keys must be very anxious because they can't get into their homes."
Li Hua was a little surprised when he saw Zhou Liu's confident look:
"No way, can you really find it?"
Huang Qingmei brought in another pile of information:
"I bet you can't find the owner of the key."
Saturday's eyes lit up, the youth's brilliance, and his spirits were full:
"What if I find it?"
Huang Qingmei clicked a few times on the computer, printed out the completed forms, and bound them into a book. Her hair was tangled after a busy day. She didn't understand the point of making so many summary forms, but it would be interesting if she could find a key.
In the police unit, the most exciting part is solving cases.
She also wanted to see what tricks this top student had. Huang Qingmei had heard Zhou Liuyi make a bet with Li Hua before, so she readily agreed:
"Then I'll treat you to milk tea, everyone gets one."
Li Hua jumped up from the table happily:
"Qingmei, I can finally drink the milk tea you bought me."
Huang Qingmei gathered her hair. She had been busy all day and only had a sip of water now:
"But don't be too happy too soon. If you don't find the owner, you'll have to clean toilets for a month!"
