Hong County, Xinhua Bookstore.
Yang Xiao rarely took a break, so he came out of the Public Security Bureau dormitory at noon, wandered around the county town, and walked into Xinhua Bookstore.
In the early 20th century, online shopping and e-books had not yet taken off.
Every city has a bookstore like this.
Just like the post office and banks.
And it is located in the most prosperous area of the city.
Unlike the deserted bookstores twenty years later, Xinhua Bookstore now is definitely top-notch.
It was crowded inside.
Students, young people, middle-aged people, and the elderly, people of every age group can find books they like to read in it.
And Xinhua Bookstore has a special feature. Even if you don’t buy a book, you can sit in a corner and read it, and no one will chase you away.
So every aisle was packed.
They held the book in their arms and read it with gusto.
Yang Xiao couldn't remember how long it had been since he visited a bookstore.
ten years? Twenty years? Even longer.
Yang Xiao looked at the dazzling array of books and thought about taking the postgraduate entrance examination.
In the officialdom twenty years later, in addition to relationships and abilities, academic qualifications are also one of the important criteria for evaluating officials.
According to regulations, officials above the division level must have a bachelor's degree.
But the industry is deeply involved.
If you look at government announcements, you will find that most of the newly appointed department-level officials have a master's degree, and it is not uncommon to have a doctorate, even if they are part-time.
Yang Xiao is a bachelor's degree graduate.
If you want to develop to a higher platform in the future, the postgraduate entrance examination is a process that you must go through.
He is still young now.
It is better to achieve this goal earlier.
It's just that the formal police postgraduate entrance examination is different from that of ordinary civil servants.
First, you must work for two years.
Secondly, you must have an undergraduate degree, and the major for the postgraduate entrance examination must be the same as the undergraduate major. If the major for the postgraduate entrance examination does not have an undergraduate degree, you must first obtain an undergraduate degree in the relevant major before you can apply.
Finally, and most importantly, it must be signed by the leader of the political and personnel department of the public security department.
You can't take the exam just because you want to.
Many people just get stuck in the last procedure.
It’s not that anyone is deliberately making things difficult.
The work of the police is inherently heavy. The political office in charge of personnel will evaluate whether your position is replaceable and whether you have enough energy to devote to study.
Therefore, there are very few formal police officers who take postgraduate entrance exams.
Especially frontline detectives like Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao met the conditions.
That's why he came up with the idea of taking the postgraduate entrance examination at this time.
But another problem emerged.
Now in 2003, only three public security colleges in the country, including the Criminal Police College, the Public Security University and the Police University, are qualified to recruit part-time graduate students.
Xichuan Police College only began to recruit its first batch of graduate students in 2006.
Criminal Police College is in Quang Nguyen Province.
The Police University is in Shanhe Province.
Public Security University is in the capital, Beijing.
All three institutions are in the north.
Yang Xiao Even if you are a part-time graduate student who applies for them, learning to sign in and take exams is a hassle.
It seems that the plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination has to be postponed for two years.
Yang Xiao put a copy of "Criminal Law" back on the bookshelf.
Didi!
The phone in his trouser pocket rang and a text message was received.
Yang Xiao took out his mobile phone and saw the four words "pay attention to your health" sent by Li Li. He smiled and was about to reply with "thank you". Just as he was pressing the keyboard, an urgent call came through. Yang Xiao pressed the button to answer. Press the button and pick up the phone:
"I'm Yang Xiao."
"Yang Da, something happened!"
The caller was Li Yan, the captain of the serious crime squadron who was on duty in the office today. He said to Yang Xiao on the phone:
"I just received a notification from the 110 command center that the restaurant was smashed by a group of people after returning from the banquet.
The security brigade has rushed over to control the situation.
They discovered a problem and requested support from our Criminal Investigation Team. "
Yang Xiao had already walked out of Xinhua Bookstore quickly and replied:
"Okay, I'll rush there now!
The instructor takes a break. You notify Mu Da to return to the team for duty. Guan Da leads the serious case detachment to the scene. In addition, inform the technical squadron and Chengguan Squadron to be on standby at any time! "
"Yes!" Li Yan hung up the phone and arranged the work according to Yang Xiao's requirements.
Yang Xiao is in Xincheng now.
He walked to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and rushed to the Yanhuihui Restaurant in the old city a few kilometers away.
Ten minutes later, when the taxi turned into the street where the Yanhuihui Restaurant was located, it was blocked on the road.
Crowds gathered near Yanguihui Restaurant.
Joint defense members and auxiliary policemen from the Public Security Brigade maintained order around the area.
Don't let anyone get close.
Four or five police cars stopped in front of the Yanhuihui Restaurant with their lights flashing.
Three ambulances parked next to the police car.
More ambulances were coming from the congested road with sirens.
Yang Xiao had no choice but to get out of the car, push aside the onlookers in front of him, identify himself to the auxiliary police on duty, cross the cordon and walk to the door of Yanhui Lai Restaurant.
Li Yan has arrived.
Next to him stood Qin Jianguo, the captain of the security brigade.
"Qin Da, hello." Yang Xiao shook hands with Qin Jianguo and asked:
"What's going on at the scene?"
"Let's go in and have a look!" Qin Jianguo led Yang Xiao and Li Yan into the Banquet Return Restaurant.
"Give way!"
Several medical staff came out carrying a stretcher, and happened to bump into Yang Xiao and the others.
Yang Xiao, Qin Jianguo and Li Yan quickly ducked away.
They saw a young waiter lying on a stretcher. His arm was broken and his head was wrapped in gauze. Although he had been treated briefly, he was still bleeding.
It looked like the injury was serious.
Qin Jianguo said to Yang Xiao:
"Yang Da, you saw it!
This is not a simple fight, four or five wounded people have been carried away! "
After returning from the banquet, the restaurant was in a mess.
All the seats in the lobby were smashed and destroyed, and the pots and pans in the kitchen were smashed all over the floor. The same situation happened upstairs, especially the manager's office and the financial room on the third floor. Holding several samurai swords and kitchen knives.
There was blood splatter everywhere.
Fortunately, this time is not the peak dining time.
Yang Xiao glanced at it from a distance and retreated.
It needs to be left to the technical personnel to investigate.
Qin Jianguo frowned and said:
"At 4:34 p.m., the 110 command center reported that there was a fight in the restaurant after returning from the banquet.
Chengguan Police Station was the first to arrive at the scene.
The group had fled before the police arrived.
I will arrive with my people and notify your Criminal Investigation Team immediately upon seeing the situation at the scene. "
Qin Jianguo picked up a black silk scarf from the ground and continued:
“According to eyewitness accounts, more than 20 young men armed with murderous weapons rushed into the Yanhuihui Restaurant.
Cut people down when you see them.
Smash everything you see.
The methods are very cruel.
So far, eleven people have been injured, three of them seriously.
Yang Da, I will leave the scene to you, and I will be responsible for the outside. "
"Thank you for your hard work." Yang Xiao took over the investigation of the case from the security brigade.
Judging from the situation at the scene and the injuries caused, it was indeed beyond the scope of a fight.
Yang Xiao said to Li Yan:
"Team Li, notify the technical squadron and Chengguan squadron to come over.
Mu Da took people to the hospital to understand the situation. "
