"Are you Wang Yan?"
"It's me, sir."
"Then you are Lei Luo."
"Yes, sir."
Ciyunshan Police Station, uniformed sergeant Lin Mingyuan looked at the two young men standing upright in front of him and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, we are all brothers, just relax. My name is Lin Mingyuan, you call me Chief Lin That’s good.”
"Yes, Chief Lin." Wang Yan and Lei Luo responded in unison.
Lin Mingyuan laughed and turned to look at his squirming subordinates: "Newcomers are passionate."
He is a little chubby, and his smile gives off a simple and amiable feeling, but he is a uniformed police sergeant with more than 20 men under his command, and he is not merciless in collecting money.
After hearing the chief's words, the others laughed in cooperation. In fact, it's not that funny. There are a lot of people in this world who make fun of people.
"I've heard about your strength a long time ago. The ghost guy said that you are the best student in the history of our police academy. It's such a pity that you can come to our humble Ciyun Mountain." Lin Mingyuan sighed, I don’t know what it was that was a pity, but without Wang Yan’s praise, he continued: “Okay, you have been training in Wong Chuk Hang for half a year, and you are quite tired. Don’t you still have three days of vacation? I’ll have someone take you two to get it. After you get the uniforms and equipment, if nothing else happens, you can go back and rest. Oh, and, Ayan, after you get the equipment, you go to the criminal department upstairs. My uncle told you before that he asked you to go and see him. he."
The Criminal Division, whose full name is 'Criminal Investigation Division', or cid, reports to the Director of the Criminal Investigation Division and operates independently. There are quite a lot of functions under its jurisdiction, such as ordinary cases, anti-drug, anti-pornography, major cases, important cases, etc. are all cid. The next four detectives, including the current Chen Tong, are all in this department.
Seriously speaking, Detective Chen Tong's police rank is just that of a sergeant, the same level as Lin Mingyuan. However, the powers of the criminal detective are much greater than those of the patrol sergeant, and there is no comparison. Moreover, this year the Criminal Investigation Division was reorganized and two positions of chief detectives were created in Hong Kong and Kowloon, respectively commanding all Chinese detectives and detectives in the two places. However, their police rank is also that of sergeant, which is the same for everyone. Even if Lei Luo later reached the position of Inspector General Hua, he was only a police sergeant, still at the rank of junior officer, not at the level of supervisor.
This is a precaution against foreign devils. The Chinese are just running errands. But to be honest, prevention is of no use. After all, the police rank is not yet reached, but the power in hand is there. Apart from anything else, if Mr. Wang became the chief detective and controlled half of the Chinese police officers in the police force, if he really wanted to shake things up, he would not be the only brother in the police force to get sick.
The current Chief Inspector, including the future Chief Inspector Hua, have not truly united the Chinese police officers and cannot exert their full strength.
Wang Yan said: "Sir, I can officially start working today. I don't need to go home to rest."
Lei Luo was still thinking about going back to have an appointment with his Axia or something, but when he heard Brother Yan's words, he straightened up and said, "Sir, I am too."
Lin Mingyuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "There's no need to be in such a hurry, it will still take a long time. I understand the amount of training you have. Go back and have a good rest."
"Sir, I'm not tired. I don't have any family to accompany me. I have no one to express my thoughts to, and I just sit here at home." Wang Yan said with a smile, "I can also study with the senior and all the elder brothers earlier."
Lei Luo nodded again and again.
"Ah haha, okay, since you insist so much, I will change my uniform and equipment later. After meeting my uncle, I will find someone to take you two on patrol to familiarize yourself with the situation in our jurisdiction." Lin Mingyuan turned around and greeted: "Ah Cheng, you take the two of them to get their uniforms and equipment first, and when they see Uncle later, you will take them out on patrol."
Ah Cheng is a young man in his twenties, not tall or strong, with long hair. He is sitting behind him, the hat in his hand flicking back and forth to keep cool.
"Yes, sir." The uniformed policeman named Ah Cheng came over and patted Wang Yan's arm: "Let's go, Ah Yan, to get your uniforms."
"Let's go first, sir."
Lin Mingyuan nodded with a smile: "Go, go, do your best, I'll keep an eye on you."
Wang Yan nodded, and together with Lei Luo, turned around and left with the man named Acheng.
The reason why this uniformed sergeant was polite to him and had such a good attitude was just to take care of Chen Tong's face. On the other hand, he was also unpredictable about his future. If he were not a police sergeant with twenty or thirty people under his command, how could he give these two new trainee police officers a smile.
On the way to the police station's logistics warehouse, Wang Yan asked, "What do you call Brother Cheng?"
"Liang Cheng." He looked at Wang Yan with a smile: "You still have a bright future. My uncle got you here directly from the police academy. You will be promoted to plainclothes soon. Although there is not much oil and water here, it is better than ours." The one with the hat is too strong, I need you to take more care of me in the future."
"Brother Cheng is joking. We brothers are working under your hands now. It's your turn to take care of us. But if Brother Cheng is of use to you, just ask. I will never refuse if I can help."
"Your words are enough. We're here. Come in with me."
Of course, the logistics warehouse is also manned by people who are responsible for counting materials and so on. But look at the warehouse, where is the good work? The man in charge of the warehouse at Ciyunshan Police Station is a uniformed police officer in his forties who is dawdling around to retire.
After getting suitable uniforms and equipment, they were all for men, and there was nothing about this or that. Wang Yan and Lei Luo directly put on their uniforms, equipped them with equipment, and asked for a bag to pack their rags. .
"Brother Yan, Brother Cheng, how are you?" Lei Luo finally put on the official police uniform and spun around in circles.
"Then you still need to ask?" Wang Yan looked at Liang Cheng with a smile and said in unison: "Of course he is a handsome boy."
Lei Luo chuckled and touched the back of his head: "Brother Yan, Brother Cheng, you are more handsome."
The logistics manager, who was eating and waiting to die, seemed to remember the time when he first became a police officer, and he laughed happily: "We are all handsome, so why are we so polite?"
Liang Cheng turned to look at the old man: "Forget it, you are the only one who is not handsome."
"I'm not handsome? Cheng, I'm afraid you don't know how romantic I was back then..."
Without getting involved in the distribution of black money, the relationship between the lower-level police officers is still good. They talk and laugh and are quite harmonious.
As for this dress, Wang Yan doesn't like it very much. It's just like the one in the play, with a half-sleeved shirt, big pants, long boots, an armed belt around the waist, a baton, a flashlight, a whistle for calling for support, etc. It's a mess. The famous .38 revolver is slung across the body. It's really not very comfortable to wear.
At the top of the stairs, Wang Yan said: "Brother Cheng, let's go up to find Inspector Chen, and then come back to you."
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you in this office."
Nodding, Wang Yan led Lei Luo up the stairs.
"Hello, big brother, my name is Wang Yan. Detective Chen asked me to come to him." Wang Yan greeted a thin plainclothes man with long hair at the door of the criminal team on the second floor.
"Wang Yan?" The plainclothes man was stunned for a moment, and then he came forward and hugged Wang Yan affectionately: "I have heard of your name a long time ago. My uncle was still talking about you just now. Come on, I will take you to my uncle's In the office, this little brother can find a place to do it by himself."
Watching Wang Yan leave with the plainclothes guy, Lei Luo shrugged and wandered around the room. Brother Yan is so supportive, and it was the detective who mobilized him, so this treatment is normal. He is indeed inferior to others, and he is far worse than others. He has no other messy thoughts.
Under the leadership of plainclothes, Wang Yan entered the office inside.
The office space is very large, and there is no problem with somersaults and acrobatics. There is a half-person-high statue of Guan Gong in the corner, with tributes and incense burned. Behind the large table, on a comfortable chair, Chen Tong put his feet on the table and covered his face with a newspaper in his hand.
"Uncle, Wang Yan is here."
Hearing the plainclothes words, Chen Tong put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at Mr. Wang standing straight at the door. His wrinkled old face showed a smile: "Ayan is here, come in, come in, you go out first."
After watching the plainclothes go out and close the door, Wang Yan took two steps forward and saluted: "Hello, sir."
"Hey, how come your kid's appearance is different from what Gao Pu said about you being shameless and shameless?"
Wang Yan chuckled, relaxed his body, and sat on the chair opposite the desk: "Is this the best, uncle?"
"Hey, that's what it's like." Chen Tong laughed, put down his feet, put the newspaper aside, picked up the cigarette on the table, lit one himself, and then threw the cigarette to Wang Yan with fire: "Smoke. "
"I wanted to light a cigarette for you, but it didn't work at all."
"You brat, I didn't see any intention of moving." Chen Tong held the cigarette in his hands and lit Wang Yan. When he saw that he had lit the cigarette, he said, "I spent so much effort to find you this time." , do you know why?”
Wang Yan dusted off the cigarette ashes: "I heard that uncle and Yan Tong were at odds. Yan Tong used to hang out with uncle, just to fight for reputation. If I am capable enough, solve more cases and collect more money, uncle will be here Before I retire, I can move to a better place and save my living expenses. For the rest, I may need to build up my reputation so that dishonest hooligans and other detectives can respect us. What I said Isn’t that right, uncle?”
"That's about right." Chen Tong nodded with a smile: "But I am already so old, and I can't afford to fight. In fact, I am more optimistic about you. If you are really that strong, you can do what you said Those of you, of course that’s good. But if you don’t do it, it’s okay, just think of me as a supporter of the younger generation.”
Of course I can't believe this, it's just talk. The main reason is that even if he can't do what he said, his combat effectiveness is still there and he will not lose anything. Otherwise, it would be for no reason, and no matter how much people are willing to support the younger generation, they will not be able to mention him.
Wang Yan blew out the smoke and chuckled: "Thank you very much, uncle. I will rely on my uncle for support from now on."
"That's all I can do now. If you want to be a plainclothes, you have to get approval from the ghost guy. It takes an average person three to five years to work as a plainclothes in the criminal department. I can help you, but you also have to wear one. It’s been more than two years or even two years. You have such a famous name, you don’t know how to stay up for the time step by step, do you?”
"Of course not, uncle." Wang Yan said: "I was just going to ask you for advice, which of those gangsters can and cannot move."
Chen Tong shook his head lightly: "The oil and water here are not thick enough, and the gangsters are not strong enough, so you can't touch any of them. Every one of them has to pay us a fee. Those stalls in the market and on the street also have high incomes. From our criminal unit, only the remaining corners are the ones you wear hats on."
"Understood, I am wearing a hat, so naturally I have to find a way for us uniformed policemen on patrol to make the soup that our brothers drink more meaty. I will work for whomever I serve as an errand."
This is a test. He has such a great reputation, so he has to do it twice. If he can't make money as a uniformed police officer, or if he has no reputation or prestige, even if he is asked to become a plainclothes criminal police officer, it will be of no use. What's next? Guarding the pond is his best destination.
As for actually being a plainclothes officer, it's not as difficult as Chen Tong said. After all, where are his police academy results? His name is on all the records, and he can speak English. These are all advantages. That is to say, he is not from Yingguo. Otherwise, based on these achievements, not to mention being sent to Hong Kong Island, his position there would not be low.
But now, even if he is Chinese and a Hong Kong citizen, even if he does not have such good results. But with Chen Tong's strength, it was easy to make him a plainclothes man. It only takes a year and a half, and it only costs a little money. It's really not that difficult. The key to the question is whether it has a matching 'use' and whether it is worth the investment. It's that simple.
Chen Tong nodded with a smile: "Although Sergeant Lin is the patrol sergeant, he also has good connections. He also has a very good relationship with Director Gui Lao of our Ciyunshan Police Station. Although our criminal department does not belong to Gui Lao, The director directly leads us, but he is the director after all, so he can still control us. There is no harm in having a friendly relationship." Gu Ni
"Thanks for the tip, uncle. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first?"
"Go ahead."
Wang Yan nodded, not forgetting to wave the cigarette and fire on the table at Chen Tong, stood up and walked out unsteadily.
"You brat..." Chen Tong shook his head, smoked his cigarette and continued to read the newspaper. He had to pay attention to current affairs. As for Wang Yan, he is quite satisfied with his ability to let go, dare to speak, and understand his words after the brief contact. As for whether he is satisfied or not in the future, it depends on how this kid does things.
"Let's go, A Luo." After leaving the office, Wang Yan greeted Lei Luo, who was looking at the plainclothes collector with grinning teeth.
"Ah? Oh..." Lei Luo came to his senses, put on his hat, and trotted over to follow Wang Yan out: "Brother Yan, you didn't see, they are so cruel."
Patting him on the shoulder, Wang Yan said: "You should have heard it even if you didn't see it. From now on, you will be the one who takes action. You may beat them even harder than them."
"Who knows what will happen in the future?"
"after?"
Wang Yan shook his head and ignored Lei Luo, who was confused. The two went downstairs to find Liang Cheng. He led them around the area under his jurisdiction and officially started working as a uniformed police officer.
Uniformed police are mainly responsible for public security management within their jurisdiction, which is equivalent to serving as urban management, police, community mediators, etc. in the mainland. If they really want to do something, they will be busy to death in a day, and there are too many nonsense things to do.
Although the current population density of Hong Kong Island is far less than it was later, it is still relative. After all, the place is not big. Therefore, although the current Tsz Wan Mountain is not what it will be in the future, there are still many people. Although the place is not big, more than 20 uniformed police patrols and management are basically useless. The biggest effect is to let the merchants here spend more money.
In such a situation, it is unrealistic to expect good public security. After all, in a family of policemen and robbers, it is not uncommon for the head of the family to chase and kill people, molest the little girl, steal, rob, etc., and the atmosphere is chaotic. Moreover, it is now 1949, and it has only been four years since Hong Kong Island regained its glory. Everything is being restored, and disorder is normal.
Of course, even if they do do something, they can't count on it. There were only about twenty people in total, and the police force was insufficient to do anything.
But the money and money here is not bad. Although most of it is taken away by plainclothes and the foreign devils in the police station, the money collected every day is only a few cents in bad times and one or two yuan in good times. Calculated in this way, it can reach nearly two hundred yuan a month.
There is a set of standard procedures for collecting money. Each stall is divided into different sizes, customer flow, and different amounts of money. We distinguish them and collect money professionally. As for them, the uniformed policemen, they patrolled in turns to ensure that the rain and dew were evenly distributed, collecting and distributing the food on the same day, and there was no uneven distribution. If there is, it can only be resentment towards the plainclothes detectives who have higher incomes, and they feel it is unfair.
In fact, they charge a lot of money, but there is no comparison. In a place where there is a lot of money and money, it is not impossible to charge two or three times the salary. Speaking of plainclothes, speaking of plainclothes in a place where there is a lot of money and money, you can imagine how much money people have to earn. Lei Luo's 500 million detective is definitely too little. After all, they are all gangsters, and they are doing illegal money-making transactions.
Wang Yan and Lei Luo followed Liang Cheng and experienced a tiring three days. They mainly walked on their legs and raised their hats to collect money. They were still hot and quite tired. The rest of the things that serious police officers did were never done. That is to say, Lei Luo's sense of justice broke out and he chased someone who snatched someone's wallet in broad daylight and took him back to beat him up. Then the old lady whose wallet was robbed still lost twenty yuan...
Of course, the harvest is also good. They collected money every day and distributed it as they went. The three of them wandered around for three days, and their family received a little more than three yuan. He works better than ordinary people and earns a lot from his stall. But this is still an outsider. It is said that people all want to be policemen. If you can't be a good person, you should settle for the next best thing or go the other way and become a gangster. It's all about money and it's also prestigious.
"I have taken you through other streets in our area. This street now is the most prosperous street here."
In the evening, Liang Cheng and Wang Yan pointed to a small gambling stall, and there was no lack of resentment in his words: "That stall is the one with the most money and money on this street, but you two also know that there is a lot of money and money like this. They are always collected by plainclothes officers.”
Just in time, two plainclothes men with bulging waists came over to collect money. When they saw Wang Yan and others, they greeted him with a smile: "Ayan."
"Brother Fei, Brother Peng." Wang Yan nodded in response. They were all Chen Tong's subordinates. They were all working upstairs and downstairs, coming in and out. In addition, he was brought here by Chen Tong himself, so he had a wide range of people. .
"Let's go, Ayan, you patrol slowly." The two responded to Wang Yan, nodded to Liang Cheng and Lei Luo, and treated them differently.
Liang Cheng shrugged: "Ayan, you still have a lot of face. Having a detective backing you is different from us ordinary people wearing hats." He has been with us for three days. To be honest, for Wang Yan, who is so legendary, He didn't think it was anything special. But he just knows how to behave and speak, and other than that, he just hangs around behind him.
"Brother Cheng is joking. Uncle does support me, but don't I still need to rely on Brother Cheng to take care of me? We are all brothers. If something happens to you, doesn't it mean something to me?" Wang Yan hugged his shoulders affectionately and took out a cigarette. I shared a cigarette and walked around to collect money while smoking.
Of course collecting money is Lei Luo's job, he is the lowest. After the initial discomfort of being a bully, he is now very skilled at holding up his hat. He took off his hat and just handed it to the stall owner. Without saying anything, the stall owner would roll his eyes, put the money into the hat, and then 'pounce on your mother'.
"Kid, where are your adults?"
"I'm not here..."
"Okay, I'll be here soon. Also, please move the stall to the back. It's a little too far forward."
"Know it……"
Lei Luo is still humane now, which is good.
Wang Yan looked at it with a smile from behind. He had an impression of this street and had seen it in the play. The policeman who was originally taking Lei Luo to collect the money used the pretext of maliciously embarrassing others, and soon there was a lard boy selling sugar high. Of course, the one who originally led Lei Luo was not the current Liang Cheng. He was another uniformed policeman in their police station with a bad character. Speaking of character, through his observations over the past few days, Liang Cheng was one of the best among Lin Mingyuan's men, which showed that he really gave him face.
Walking and collecting all the way, as expected, I met a bamboo basket with a rope tied around its neck for support, holding a cloth, wearing a white vest, big pants, and pulling on sandals. "I'm selling white sugar cakes," he said. White sugar cake, fragrant and sweet white sugar cake... Hey, officer, this is my share of the money." As he spoke, he took out seventy cents and threw it into Lei Luo's extended hat.
Liang Cheng asked with a smile: "Hey, is today's sugar cake sweet?" Although he had eaten dinner, he was still a little hungry after wandering around for a long time...
"Of course it's sweet. How can I sell it if it's not sweet?" Lard Boy opened the white cloth sensibly and said, "Come on, officer, I'll treat each of you to a piece. You can also help me and let me finish my work early."
Liang Cheng took one, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and said favorably: "Not bad, not bad, I didn't realize it, you fat guy is pretty good at it. A Yan, A Luo, you guys should try it too."
Wang Yan followed the good example, took two pieces with a smile, and gave one piece to Lei Luo. Then, with Liang Cheng being surprised and Lardboy's incomprehensible eyes, he took out two cents while eating: "Here, white sugar." Bad money."
This lard guy is from Detective 500 Million, not Chasing the Dragon, and I don’t know how the living dads merged. This supporting role is quite good. He personally feels that the one in Chasing the Dragon is more pleasing to the eye. Considering this, it might as well let Lardboy be his white glove...
Lardboy looked at the money in his hand and chuckled: "Officer, this is the first time I've seen a police officer eating and paying for something."
"Ayan, why do you have to be so serious?" Liang Cheng couldn't help but shake his head.
"It's a matter of collecting money. It's a matter of course to eat and pay." Wang Yan shook his head and patted Lardboy on the shoulder: "I think you are quite compatible. What's your name?"
"Lardboy, officer."
"I'm asking for your name."
"My name is Feng Wenhua."
Wang Yan looked at him up and down, shook his head and smiled: "Wenhua? Or Lardboy is more appropriate. Is the family a pig butcher?"
"Yes, officer, my mother gave me this nickname." Lardboy laughed along with him: "What do you call the officer?"
"Wang Yan."
"Hello, Brother Yan."
"Okay, you do your business and leave."
"Goodbye, Brother Yan..."
Wang Yan waved his hand and wandered away with Liang Cheng and Lei Luo who were collecting the money.
"Giving food and money to the police? Are you stupid? Even a policeman wouldn't do it." Looking at the three people leaving, Lardboy turned around and walked away with a curse...
This is how it is these days. If you don't make money by being a police officer, then you will be looked down upon by everyone if you are still a useless police officer. But if you want to collect money, they will also scold you. It's like Lei Luo's father-in-law, so complicated.
The general environment is like this, and it is natural for weak people with ideals and ambitions to be assimilated in such an environment for a long time. The world is dark, and I am alone in my monologue. Either I am really strong, or I have had enough.
After collecting the money and patrolling, the three of them returned to the police station and handed over their guns. Uniformed police officers do not allow you to take a gun home, and even if you are equipped with a gun, you are required to fire a gun. Unlike plainclothes officers, a gun license will be issued, and the conditions for shooting and subsequent reporting will be much relaxed.
After bidding farewell to Liang Cheng, Wang Yan and Lei Luo strolled towards Dongtou Village.
"Brother Yan, we have seen the jurisdiction of Ciyun Mountain. What are your plans?" Lei Luo also knew that Wang Yan was specially brought here by Chen Tong. If it is not of any use, based on his understanding in the past few days, he I feel that Brother Yan will be miserable in the end, and maybe he will suffer as well.
"What are you planning to do?" Wang Yan said with a smile: "Aluo, why do you think those people in our police station became policemen?"
"It's for money. No wonder there are so many people who want to be policemen. It's really easy to make money. My dad, my brother, and my sister, all three of us together, even if we don't eat or drink, they don't have as much black money as we collect in a month." .”
His younger brother is fifteen and his younger sister is twelve, and they can also earn some subsidies. Didn't you see that child who was not around when Lei Luo collected money? He was seven or eight years old. He could help make money. In this era, although industrialization has developed significantly and it is the beginning of technology and information revolution, ordinary people are not much better than at home. Not even in the future era of the Four Little Dragons.
"I guess you're right." Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Since we like money, wouldn't it be great if we let them make more money?"
"To put it simply, Brother Yan, I admit that you are powerful, but you are living in poverty, how can you let other military uniforms make more money together?" Lei Luo curled his lips and waved his hands with a look of disbelief: "Also, what do you mean I am right? ? Can you make it clearer, you know I am stupid, how can I understand so much."
"You're not stupid, you just don't want to think about it. I'm poor, but does that delay me from leading my brothers in the police station to make more money? Arlo, I'm not telling you, read more books and use your brain more when you have nothing to do. Don't I’ve been thinking about Axia all day long.”
Wang Yan changed the subject: "Speaking of Axia, do you and her have any plans to get married? I remember we are both the same age, right?"
"They are the same age..."
At night, under the illumination of good and bad street lights, the two people's backs were drawn to each other, and their laughter echoed on the road, fading away...
