Chapter 21 I'm Sorry! I'm a Public Security Officer (Part )
Seeing Director Yu and his companions getting off the jeep, Zhang Zhijie and the other two quickly stepped forward, stood at attention and saluted.
"Hello, Director Yu!"
Then he looked at Liu Zhiye with curiosity. He was Director Yu's correspondent. He knew the driver and the others and met them often. But this guy looked unfamiliar and he was sure he had never seen him before.
Director Yu returned the greeting. Probably seeing the confusion in their eyes, he took the initiative to introduce them:
"I know you are curious, so I won't say any more. I have something important to do later. This is the deputy director Liu Zhiye who was assigned to your institute by the bureau. He is a former military-turned-official."
"Come, Zhiye, let me introduce you to these people, who will be your future superiors and colleagues."
Then he pointed at Zhang Zhijie and said:
"This is your director, Zhang Zhijie. He is a veteran police officer. He has a quick temper and a violent personality. No matter how much you criticize him, you can't change his bad habits."
Director Zhang Zhijie smiled awkwardly after hearing this. It was obvious that he felt a little embarrassed that his leader criticized him in front of so many people.
Director Yu ignored his thoughts and continued to introduce:
"Your instructor, Xu Shifang, is a veteran comrade. If you have any ideas or difficulties in life or thinking, please communicate with him more often."
Finally, let me introduce Deputy Director Wei Hu:
"This is Deputy Director Wei Hu, who is smart and capable. You two are about the same age."
"These three are my old subordinates. When the troops first entered the city, they chose to follow me and transfer to the public security force on the spot."
After Director Yu finished his introduction, Liu Zhiye took the initiative to salute the three people and then shook hands with them one by one.
"Director, instructor, and Deputy Director Wei. I'm very happy to meet you. From now on, I will be a comrade who works together with you all. Please give me more guidance and help in the future."
After Zhang Zhijie and others shook hands with him:
"Comrade Liu Zhiye, you don't need to be the director or instructor. We are all from the army, and our ages are not too different. We call you Lao Liu, and you can call us Lao Zhang or Lao Xu or Lao Wei. We are not strangers, and it's more intimate to call us Lao Xu or Lao Wei. How about it? Lao Xu, Lao Wei?"
Wei Hu smiled and said, "It should be so. Listen to the director. No, Lao Zhang."
Teacher Xu smiled and said:
"Although Old Zhang has a bad temper, he is warm and generous. When he gets angry, he can even curse your ancestors. However, if something happens to that comrade, he will care more than anyone else."
"Old Liu, you will understand us over time."
Director Yu on the side said:
"Alright, alright, this requires mutual understanding. You can handle it slowly in the future. I have something important to tell you guys. Zhang Zhijie, please find a quiet meeting room and keep it confidential."
Director Zhang Zhijie quickly said, "Then let's go inside and talk first, Director. This way please~"
Led by Zhang Zhijie, everyone surrounded Director Yu and entered a temporary meeting room.
----
After an hour of briefing on the case, the meeting came to an end.
Director Yu finally instructed everyone:
"Liu Zhiye is in charge of this case, investigating the Red Star Factory, while the branch office and the police station are investigating the periphery."
"Zhang Zhijie, you guys need to cooperate well on the periphery. You are in the open while he is in the dark. You need to make progress together. If you have any major discoveries, report them to me in a timely manner."
Director Yu made a final summary and said in a serious tone:
"Comrades, this is the case, and there are only so many clues. It is really difficult. But no matter how difficult it is, we must get to the bottom of the case. Find these arrogant and vicious enemies and eliminate them. Martyr Wang Guangyuan's body is still warm, and he is waiting for you to avenge him. We must also give an explanation to the martyr's family."
The leaders of Jiaodaokou Police Station, led by Zhang Zhijie, stood up with red eyes and said loudly:
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Seeing that Director Yu was about to leave immediately after giving instructions to everyone, Zhang Zhijie wanted to keep him:
"Director, let's have dinner in our small cafeteria before leaving. It's been a long time since you had a meal here. Besides, the food our chef cooks is much better than that of the branch office."
When the others saw this, they burst into laughter. Liu Zhiye didn't understand what was so funny.
Director Yu said expectantly, "No, I have a meeting in the bureau this afternoon, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make it. You can have dinner anytime, as long as you do your job well, and I'll treat you."
Everyone had no choice but to send Director Yu away, and Director Zhang said to everyone:
"Okay! The director won't eat, so we'll eat by ourselves. Section Chief Ren, go to the canteen and prepare some dishes. We'll have a lunch together at noon to welcome the new comrades." He turned to look at his old partner, Instructor Xu, and teased him:
"Hey, butler, can I ask for a drink? We haven't had a drink in a while. We're welcoming Old Liu today, so we should have a drink to liven things up."
Instructor Xu teased him for once, and deliberately put on a stern face:
"Okay, your application is approved in principle by the organization. But you can only drink a little, not too much~"
Zhang Zhijie said in a funny way: "Okay, please supervise me~"
A group of people came to the police station cafeteria, laughing and joking, without any leader in sight.
At the subsequent dinner table, Liu Zhiye went through the process of getting to know new people, such as: Office Director Song Xian (Deputy Section Level), Chief of the Engineering Section Tang Yong (Deputy Section Level), Chief of the Inspection Section Zheng Baojin (Deputy Section Level), Chief of the Logistics Equipment Section Ren Dapeng (Deputy Section Level), Chief of the Finance Section Ye Zhen (Deputy Section Level), Chief of the Household Registration Section Wang Yunfei (Deputy Section Level), Chief of the Criminal Investigation Section Wang Meng (Deputy Section Level), Chief of the Prison Section Zhu Long (Deputy Section Level), Chief of the Personnel Section Li Tingting (Deputy Section Level), Chief of the Internal Security Section Guan Xianyun (Deputy Section Level), Captain of the National Security Brigade Nie Lei (Deputy Section Level), Captain of the Economic Investigation Brigade Sun Li (Deputy Section Level), Captain of the Public Security Brigade Guo Yunfei (Deputy Section Level), Captain of the Criminal Police Brigade Jiang Jianguo (Deputy Section Level), etc.
In the afternoon, I was called by Instructor Xu to talk and deal with my organizational relationship. Then I went to the director Zhang Zhijie's office and sat for a while, and there was another round of work arrangements.
Then he went to the equipment department to find Ren Dapeng and received a brand new Big Black Star (Type 54 pistol), a cowhide holster, three magazines (with 24 rounds of ammunition), a gun license, and a pair of copper handcuffs, which he was equipped with directly on his gun belt.
After a while, Director Song from the office came back and said that he would use the room on the second floor of the police station, next to the director's office, as his office. He asked if he needed any changes or had any other suggestions so that he could arrange for someone to do it.
He had to go to the second floor and start busying himself again, and finally sent away the two female staff members who came to help.
Tired, Liu Zhiye sat down on his office chair. Only now did he have time to look around his office.
In the 20-square-meter room, there is a yellow wooden desk near the south window. The desk is rectangular, 152 cm long, 89.2 cm wide, and 81 cm high. There are four drawers on the left side, a drawer on the top of the middle part, and a drawer on the top of the right side, with a small cabinet below.
A piece of transparent glass was placed on the table, on which were two telephones, a red internal confidential phone and a black ordinary phone, as well as a bamboo pen holder with pencils of various colors, a bottle of Hero brand pure blue fountain pen ink, an office paper with a red header printed with the words "Sijiucheng Public Security Bureau", and a calendar and other office supplies.
Opposite him was a green iron filing cabinet, and on the wall behind him was a clothes hanger. Adjacent to it were two sofas, and in the middle was a coffee table with kettles, teacups and other drinking utensils.
There is a washbasin with a glass mirror near the door, with an enamel washbasin and a white towel hanging on it.
After Liu Zhiye glanced around the office, he thought: This is where I want to work hard in the future, although most of the time I have to work at the Red Star Factory and cannot come here often.
But this also represents his status in the police station. He is obviously only lower than the director and instructor, and is the third leader.
So he felt satisfied and proud for a while. It was a great feeling to be a leader. He had never experienced it before (not counting in this life). His life was really different now.
This reminded him of his previous life. His family was average, and he didn't study hard when he was young. He barely managed to get a diploma from a technical secondary school and then went out to work in society.
He has no diploma, no special ability, and is just an average person. He has been beaten by society for many years and is nearly 30 years old. He suddenly realized that if he doesn't work hard, he may not even be able to marry a wife.
Later, he met his wife Guilan and got married. After marriage, the two supported each other, worked hard from dawn to dusk to do some small business, and bought their first house with a loan.
For people like him, who are at the bottom of society, life is over at a glance. Without the help and support of noble people, or encountering major social changes, life will be like this.
It was 4.30: in the afternoon, and it was not yet time to get off work. Since he was not officially working today, Liu Zhiye decided to go home early, so he said goodbye to Director Zhang and left.
But Zhang Zhijie stopped him and told him that there would be a general meeting tomorrow, so he should not forget to be late. The purpose of the meeting was to introduce the comrades and to re-arrange the division of labor among the leaders of the institute.
Finally said:
"It's not convenient for you to carry your things. I'll ask an officer to take you back on a three-wheeled motorcycle."
When Liu Zhiye heard this, he thought that was a great idea. He just happened to have told his family a few days ago that his luggage had been checked in and he was thinking of a way to get it back. It would be so convenient to have a three-wheeled motorcycle. He wouldn't have to go out to look for Ban'erye.
So he said:
"Don't bother. I can ride back by myself. I have to attend a meeting tomorrow."
"That's fine. Go get the key from Mr. Song in the office."
So, Liu Zhiye took the key, went to the parking lot, and saw a green military three-wheeled motorcycle parked there.
As soon as he saw the car, he was very familiar with it. This was the large-displacement Changjiang 750CC. It was the first batch of standard equipment installed after the founding of the People's Republic of China when the People's Army began to pay attention to the "motorization" construction.
He got on the motorcycle, turned the key to start the engine, kicked the starter lever, stepped on the accelerator, released the clutch, and a puff of black smoke came out of the butt of the three-wheeled motorcycle, and it went away with a popping, rumbling, and buzzing sound.
