This is a small county in Gansu.
This year is also my third year here. To be honest, before I graduated, like many college students, I had a very good imagination about where I would work in the future. For example, I wanted to stay in places like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. My gifted ability can change the world here, and my mother can brag about it in front of my relatives every day.
but! The fact is that after graduation, I honestly returned to my hometown and lived a retirement life here. How can I put it this way? This kind of life cannot be said to be the same as the life I imagined before graduation. It can be said that it has nothing to do with it. When I first came back, I had a thousand objections. But after staying for a few years, I found that there is nothing wrong with my current life except that the salary is ridiculously low. I can often stay at my dad's place. Mom’s side (I just want to add a word here, although the old couple really dislike me every day and want me to start a family and start a business as soon as possible and not to bother them, but as long as I don’t go home to eat and go out to drink with those bad friends from my hometown) , they will definitely call me before twelve o'clock in the morning and ask me to get back within five minutes.), and the price is not too high, you can take a taxi from the beginning of the city to the end of the city for two yuan, so now I really love it here!
First year on the job. I have never handled a big case in my hands, because most of the matters handled by the police in a small county are trivial matters, and the bigger ones are cases where young people fight.
To be honest, I was quite confused that year. If you think about it, I graduated from a prestigious school. Most of my college classmates were doing other things in local police stations or larger companies. They were very prosperous as soon as I graduated. I went home after graduation, and was unemployed for almost half a year after I returned home. During that half of the year, I was almost beaten to death by my old couple when I stayed at home. I had no income and didn’t go out to socialize. Later, I think young people should not be too ambitious and have to be down-to-earth. I took one step at a time, so I started to take exams like crazy, and that’s how I got my current job.
My friends who had a good time in college this year would also call me from time to time to "sympathize" with me. At first, I still felt that my current job made me lose face, so I tried to avoid talking about work when chatting with them. As long as they mentioned work or something, I would immediately change the subject and start talking about something else. I would hang up the phone on the pretext that something was wrong. However, I reconciled with myself later and told myself: "What's wrong? I'm like this." But when he came back to build his hometown, he was better than any of them."
However, although there is no great pressure to work in my hometown, if I think about it carefully, I am a young man who has not yet started to struggle. After all, I still don’t want to live a peaceful life like now. I want to make my wife live a good life in the future. Man, how can you live a good life like this? You can't just deal with these trivial things for the rest of your life until you retire. At least you have to go to the county police station instead of the district police station.
After graduation, I suddenly discovered that the majors I studied in college did not seem to play a role in the period after I graduated and worked. Some things often require practice to know how to deal with them. After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
I have to mention here again the fact that I took the public exam. Actually, I wanted to take the exam for a better workplace, but I had not been good at studying since I was a child. The university I went to at that time was a waste of time for me. All the knowledge cells in my brain, as well as my good luck for more than ten years, I passed the college entrance examination without answering questions. When my college entrance examination results came out, my parents didn't believe it at all, because they knew me too well, and in their eyes I was simply not. It was impossible to get the results I had at that time. They even asked me to honestly explain whether there were any shady methods used in the examination room. Later, no matter what test it was, I could only pass by. At this time, I believed even more that the college entrance examination was for me. It cost me a lifetime of good luck, so maybe it’s not that the major I studied in college is of little use in my work, but that it’s of little use in my current working environment. No, I can’t say it’s useless. I should say it’s useless. Its glorious mission.
In this way, I stayed here doing nothing for more than a year, and my monthly salary was not much. Apart from the monthly living expenses I paid to the old couple and the money I spent to go out to eat and drink with friends from my hometown, I ended up with a lot of money in my hands. I haven’t saved a penny. The only huge amount of money I have is the thousand yuan I put in my passbook when I was in college. Well, I admit, this thousand yuan doesn’t seem worth showing off here. , but think about it carefully, if I get married and hand over my salary in the future, then this thousand yuan will be able to make my tight life a little more moist, so I told myself clearly in my heart that no matter how much money I have, I couldn't move at all. Now that I think about it, I was really pitiful at that time. Other people's deposits started with ten thousand words, but it was better for me to start with thousands, or the kind without any change.
But then again, although I was dealing with some insignificant things for a long time that year, it was also because of this that I became familiar with everyone in the area where I worked. I probably knew more people during that period than my mother had known in half her life. I could say hello to anyone I met on the street, and there would be free food when I went shopping. They would all affectionately call me Xiao Han.
At the end of that year, I followed my master to deal with the biggest thing I encountered that year.
Before I start talking about that, I think I need to talk about my master, the old man named Liu. He has been here for nearly ten years. When I came here, he said something to me, he Even if you don’t think our area is a small place, I can guarantee you that one day you will find that although it is a small place, there are many cases. At this point I have to complain again, me! Han Dingyu! Graduated from a key university! Outstanding young man! I want to do big things! But I still choose to believe what the old man said. After all, he is older than my mother, so I can believe him for the time being. After all, that old saying goes, yes! He has walked more roads than I have ever eaten.
And every time I don’t want to go home and gnaw at my old age, he will use his sharp tongue to persuade me to stay. The main “means” for me to stay is to start telling me about his past few years. His experiences, the cases he handled, and the weird criminals he met. When I first heard him talk about this, I was convinced and thought I might as well stay. After all, this is my first year here. It took a lot of effort for me to get admitted to this establishment. When he told me these things later, as soon as he opened his mouth, I immediately told him that I had decided that I would stay. After all, I would always listen to him talk about these things again. It will collapse one day.
As for the true face of this person, I will tell you in detail later.
There is another person who I am most familiar with since I came to this city apart from my teammates.
I buy steamed buns from a steamed bun shop every morning, and I never finish them a day. I don’t know why I don’t feel tired of the steamed buns from this store after eating them for three years. Instead, I miss them even if I don’t eat them one day. Maybe I’m a weird person. , my mother is scolding me, but I have never eaten a bite of the breakfast she made for me when she got up early. I also told my mother not to get up so early to make breakfast again, but this woman would scold me, "You won't eat it." And your dad, you can eat wherever you like.
The owner of the Baozi Shop is named Jiang. I heard that he is an old policeman. After handling an extremely bad case, he decided not to engage in this industry anymore. Moreover, he was almost old enough to retire, so he applied for early retirement. After retiring, he suddenly changed his career and opened a steamed bun shop near the police station. The people who came to eat steamed buns at his place were basically people from our police station, so when you go in early in the morning, you will see people sitting inside wearing police uniforms. Man, it is conceivable that no one who has done something bad would dare to come to this bun shop. Lao Jiang can use his amazing memory to remember everyone’s taste and the approximate time they came to the bun shop. I can’t believe this. Admired.
"Boss, let me bring you a basket of mushroom-filled steamed stuffed buns."
"I have prepared it for you a long time ago. You didn't eat the food cooked by your mother today, and you came to my place again. If your mother knows that I will have to look down on her again." Because my mother would pass by Lao Jiang's steamed buns when she goes to work. Shop, Lao Jiang would complain every day that my mother would glare at him when she passed by.
"Don't worry, my mother still calls you Big Brother according to your age. You are still afraid that she will stare at you. If you can't, just stare back next time."
"Stop it, glare at your mother. You don't know what kind of person your mother is. If I dare to glare at her, she will pick out my eyeballs one day. Besides, what can I do if I am her big brother? In your case Mom, is there such a thing as "respecting the old and loving the young"? No, no. Okay, don't stop talking and look at your watch. If you don't leave, I'm afraid that bitch Liu Daoyan will find trouble with me again, saying he got up late. The buns steamed too slowly.”
"Lao Jiang, wait for me. When I get rich, I will resign and open a branch next to your bun shop. Let my old master come to my place every day, and then drag him to make him late!"
"Hey, are you still chatting here?"
When I was still immersed in the fantasy of the future, someone slapped me.
"Master" standing behind me is my master, Old Liu Tou. Actually, I don't want to call him master all the time, because I always feel that the word master makes my relationship with him sound a bit distant, but as long as this old man can't hear me call him, His master, he felt uncomfortable, and he could nag me in my ears all day because of this matter. So I got tired of it later, and the title "Master" became more and more smooth.
"I'm very considerate for you, master. As for you, who can open a bun shop? You can dream of getting rich in one day. If you want to make yourself rich, why don't you quit your job and buy lottery tickets to see when you win?" I won a grand prize, and then I’m thinking about opening a bun shop.”
"And Lao Jiang, are my buns still okay? I went to the police station for a walk and came back."
"Come on, come on, who told you to go to the police station so early every day? You are young and can get up, but I am different. I am old."
My master and Lao Jiang have also been friends for many years. The case that made Lao Jiang resign from the police force was handled together with my master. You may ask why Lao Jiang resigned due to too much pressure after handling the case, while mine The master didn't.
To be honest, my master has a very strong psychological endurance. No matter what kind of crime scene he sees, he can act as if nothing happened (this is what Lao Jiang told me. After all, I have basically not encountered many major cases in the three years I have been here. ). So this may be enough to explain why my master can continue to work until now. On the one hand, it is because he really has this ability, and on the other hand, he is a heartless person. Thinking of this, I silently glanced at my master.
"Look, look, look, what are you looking at? What's the point of staring at an old man like me so early in the morning?" This old man had to look around before buying a bun, and I just happened to catch his eye.
"Is it possible? I miss you because I haven't seen you all night." I am a master at flattering you.
While joking and chatting with the master and the others, I noticed a man and a woman sitting on a table in the corner of the store. The reason why I noticed them was that most of them were people from our police station eating breakfast here. So we all know each other, and they are both wearing police uniforms. The two of them are particularly conspicuous here. Also, when I looked at my master just now, I accidentally caught the eye of the woman. I could see that her eyes were filled with excitement. I was scared, but I didn't care. After all, it was normal for a couple to quarrel. Just like my parents, a loving couple, they quarreled endlessly every day.
It’s the end of the year in a blink of an eye
In the days leading up to the Spring Festival, the streets are crowded with people, and every family is buying new year’s goods. In a sense, the Spring Festival is the most important thing for everyone who leaves home, and it’s the same for me. But I believe you all know that for people in our position, it is basically impossible to have any holidays. The police station is our home, and the days approaching the Spring Festival are the days when there are the most conflicts between families and neighbors. Sometimes, the saying that distance creates beauty is still true.
I remember that I was in the office at that time and suddenly received a phone call. (Every time I heard the phone ringing, my first reaction was: The elders and aunties of which family were having conflicts again. Maybe this was already a problem for me. (Produced conditioned reflex) I picked up the phone calmly, and a woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Help me, someone is trying to kill me, please help me!" After saying these words, there was a burst of noise. The voice said, "Who asked you to take my phone..."
To be honest, I still remember the feeling when I answered the call and heard the voice on the other end. It was an indescribable fear. My hands were still shaking when the call was hung up.
I know this may not be the first reaction a police officer should have.
After hanging up the phone, I immediately rushed out to find my master who was still enjoying the fireworks outside the office.
"Master, I just received a call..."
"I got a call, I got a call. Why are you so panicked? Whose belongings were taken away? Just follow the procedures and solve it. Really, I told you several times to make you calm and steady. "
"No, master, I just received a call. There was a woman on the other end of the phone saying help her, someone wants to kill her."
After hearing what I said, the master immediately became energetic and informed everyone that we should leave quickly. "
"Master, it shouldn't be that serious. Could it be just simple domestic violence?"
"Shut up, don't make any judgments before you arrive at the scene."
I followed the old man into the police car. The people who went to the scene were not only me and the master, but also other people in the team. After all, it made no sense for me, a person who had just graduated and had little experience, to do this kind of thing.
