Tiger Police

Chapter 14 Square Dance

Time flies, and before I know it, it has been a month.

The sub-bureau rewards come slowly, and the normal process is usually three months, or even half a year later.Considering that Hu Pingtao is a newcomer, Liao Qiu promoted his reward to a second-class auxiliary policeman based on all aspects of the situation.

But even so, the fact that Hu Pingtao ended his probationary period and changed from a temporary auxiliary police officer to a formal auxiliary police officer still caused a moderate impact in the Eryuan Road Police Station.

It's not a big deal, because the regular police officers in the station don't feel much about it: it's just a newcomer becoming a regular.

Not small, because Hu Pingtao's status was directly raised from the third category of auxiliary police to the second category.From the point of view of the auxiliary policemen in the station, envy, jealousy and hatred are all kinds of emotions.

"I've been in the institute for so many years, and I've never seen anyone who has been promoted to the second category directly after becoming a full-time employee. This time it's an eye-opener."

"Hmph! What's the big deal, isn't it just that a blind cat caught a dead mouse and happened to catch a wanted criminal. Speaking of which, it's all luck, and it can be changed by anyone. Hu Pingtao is like a dog from the grave of his ancestors. Shit luck."

"You can't say that. The kitten is very good. I heard from people in the community. It's not a coincidence. If the kitten didn't see that the person was suspicious, there would be nothing like that."

"Anyway, he is lucky..."

Dou Zhiwei complained about this.

He was an auxiliary policeman who was assigned two years ago. He used to follow Zhang Jianguo, but after Hu Pingtao and Wu Yonghan came, they were regrouped, and Dou Zhiwei followed Li Tao, another policeman in the station.Because of this, he was deeply concerned about Hu Pingtao's promotion and award.

"I came earlier than him, or a full two years, why can he be commissioned as a second-class auxiliary policeman, and I am only a third-class auxiliary police until now?"

Following Li Tao's daily patrols, Dou Zhiwei kept complaining along the way.

"If he, Hu Pingtao, hadn't stepped in and taken my position, I should have been credited for this time!"

Li Tao has a stable temperament, and at first he dismissed Dou Zhiwei many times, but he got tired of hearing too many similar complaints and didn't want to pay attention to them.However, Dou Zhiwei's words were really weird. Li Tao couldn't help being stunned, and asked suspiciously: "Xiao Dou, what do you mean by that? The wanted criminal was discovered by Mingming Kitty, so what does it have to do with you?"

"Why doesn't it matter?" Dou Zhiwei said indignantly: "Brother Tao, I used to be in the group with Brother Zhang. After Hu Pingtao came, I was divided into a group with you. This time, we are going to check in Guankou Village. The route is different, if we still follow the previous grouping, it should be me and Brother Zhang, and I will be in charge of Hu Pingtao's line."

Li Tao stopped, frowned and looked at Dou Zhiwei, feeling annoyed and funny: "Because of this, do you think the kitten took your credit?"

Dou Zhiwei is not a fool, he quickly found the mistake in his words, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean to belittle you, Brother Li, I mean, anyone can change this case, it's like picking up money on the road, Not one or two dollars, but millions of dollars."

After a pause, Dou Zhiwei showed an expression of undisguised jealousy: "I heard that the criminal police team of the sub-bureau is very optimistic about him and wants to transfer him..."

"Things are not as simple as you think." Li Tao interrupted him unceremoniously: "The director had already said in the last meeting that if it wasn't for Kitty to observe carefully and be cautious, it would be difficult to find the wanted criminal. To be honest, everyone wants to be rewarded for meritorious service, but it also depends on personal ability. It should be someone else's. Besides, the kitten also brought glory to our office this time. We won No.1 in the district monthly evaluation. This quarter as a whole Ranked in the top three, and the annual test score has increased a lot, this honor belongs to us, and the kitten should be commissioned as a second-class auxiliary police officer."

"Also, Xiao Dou, you have a bad idea." Li Tao continued with a serious face, "You are jealous. Also, the money you picked up on the road does not belong to you personally, let alone several million. We are the police, and if we find lost property, we must return it to the owner.”

Dou Zhiwei knew that he had slipped his tongue, so he could only keep silent after being reprimanded by Li Tao.

He bowed his head, looking gloomy.

……

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang Jianguo and Hu Pingtao rushed to the riverside square after receiving orders from the 110 command center.

This is the outskirts of Jinxing Residential Area. Outside the partition wall are sidewalks, further outside are street trees, and there is an open space with a width of more than 50 meters between it and the river bank.As part of the urban river landscape, a green belt is set up around the river bank, and lighting landscape equipment is also installed.The entire square is long and narrow, and there is a constant flow of people from evening to late night.

Wu Yonghan has something to do at home, so he asked for a temporary leave.When Zhang Jianguo and Hu Pingtao arrived at the scene in their electric cars, they saw hundreds of people inside and outside, a large area surrounded by darkness.

The reason is simple: a group of sports-loving old ladies danced in the square, and the volume was turned up very loudly, which angered the residents on the side of the square in the adjacent Jinxing Community.

It was a middle-aged man with fair skin and glasses who called the police.Because of the quarrel, he seemed very excited: "Your speakers are too loud. I live on the fifth floor. I can't even close the windows to isolate the sound."

"My granddaughter is only seven months old, and she finally fell asleep after eating. When your stereo was turned on, she was so frightened that she cried and couldn't be coaxed." Next to her, a pudgy old lady was full of anger.

"My son is so noisy that he can't do his homework. Who will be responsible if he can't hand in his homework tomorrow?" A woman yelled with her eyebrows raised, pointing to the opposite side.

The average age of the old people dancing square dance is more than 55 years old, and the speakers are always on.They stood face to face with the residents of the community, without giving way.

"You guys understand, this is a public place, what's wrong with us dancing?"

"That's right, I didn't go to your house to dance again. What kind of law is this breaking?"

"Don't blame us for all the messy things in your house. What does it have to do with us if you don't take care of your children? Now that the house is decorated with soundproof glass, you don't have the money to care about our shit?"

Zhang Jianguo and Hu Pingtao hurried to the middle of the crowd, persuading them to separate.

On the other side of the household, the leading middle-aged man was really angry: "Comrade policeman, listen, what are you talking about?"

The people next to him yelled loudly: "These old bastards are unreasonable and smashed their speakers!"

On the opposite side, the old woman in red dancing shoes put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "Let me see who dares to smash it? As long as you do it, I will make him unable to eat. Tomorrow, we will all go to his house and stay. Block the door, try it if you have the ability!"

"Don't say a few words!" Zhang Jianguo glanced at Hu Pingtao, who was dissuading the head of the household, and turned to face the old woman who was the loudest: "Zheng Yuxian, it's you again...why, don't dance at the Ziwei Garden, change the place gone?"

Zheng Yuxian, who is in her 60s, is a little afraid of Zhang Jianguo. Her eyes gleamed with resentment, and she put her hands on her hips: "The place is wide here, why are we not allowed to come?"

Zhang Jianguo looked serious: "Your dance team's noise has disturbed the people once or twice. I have dealt with more than a dozen cases at Ziwei Garden. Why, there are too many complaints over there, so you come here?"

Zheng Yuxian's old face was flushed, and she glared at Zhang Jianguo: "We are not allowed to dance over there, and we are not allowed to dance here. Tell yourself, where can we go? Everyone is getting old, and we usually only have this little hobby. , You are not allowed to do this, and you are not allowed to do that, what should we do?"

Zhang Jianguo patiently persuaded: "I didn't say that you are not allowed to dance, but I just asked you to turn down the volume. You have to think about others. How can they rest when the speakers are so loud?"

Before Zheng Yuxian could answer, an old man jumped up next to him and stared at Zhang Jianguo dissatisfiedly: "There are people coming and going, and the voice is too low to hear. Besides, dancing requires loud music to feel it. We are responding to it." What's wrong with the national call for fitness for all?"

Zhang Jianguo also got angry: "National Fitness doesn't mean you make noise. Well, let's not talk about it, the old rule: you either turn down the volume, or follow me to the office and choose for yourself."

It's been done this way before.

The Sunset Red Dance Troupe will definitely choose the first one, and no one will come to the police station for a night tour if they have nothing to do.

The old people lowered their volume, and the residents of Jinxing community gradually dispersed.

Zhang Jianguo and Hu Pingtao did not leave. They sat on the electric car and looked at the group of singing and dancing elderly people in the distance.

"You have to stay here." Zhang Jianguo put his hands on the steering wheel, feeling helpless: "When we walk forward, they will immediately increase the volume. It was like this before, and the residents would be dissatisfied and continue to call 110. We have to continue come over."

"Zheng Yuxian used to be the accountant of the No. [-] Flour Factory and also the vice-chairman of the trade union. After she retired, she organized the Sunset Red Dance Troupe. It's nothing professional, it's just a group of old people dancing for fun. They used to work in the flour mill Jumping over to the old dormitory, the renovation of the old city demolished the house and built the current Ziwei Garden. In the past, no one complained because they were all in the same unit, and they could not see each other. There are several commercial and residential buildings sold to the outside world. They dance square dances every day, but the new owners of course quit, and there have been many troubles because of this.”

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Brother Zhang, the "Public Security Management Law" has relevant regulations on noise nuisance, why is it not implemented in accordance with the regulations?"

"This involves the issue of urban management." Zhang Jianguo said: "The noise nuisance is under the control of the Environmental Protection Bureau. When we receive complaints here, we will pass them on to the environmental protection department. For example, the noise generated by construction and factories will be checked by them. Then a ticket will be issued according to the actual situation for processing.”

Hu Pingtao keenly grasped the crux of the problem: "Square dancing is also under the control of the Environmental Protection Bureau?"

"It is reasonable, but the Environmental Protection Bureau does not accept it. Of course, they did not directly refuse, but postponed the processing." Zhang Jianguo looked into the distance and shook his head with a wry smile: "The noise disturbance is not a big deal, but it is not a small deal. Residents will only call the police if they have problems, and will not call the Environmental Protection Bureau. Besides, jumping in the square is mostly at night, and there are fewer days. The environmental protection department is different from us. They work from [-] to [-]. Look at your watch, kitten , it’s past nine o’clock, which department of the Environmental Protection Bureau is still working? Is it useful to complain?”
