Chapter 307 306. Changes in the Police Department

One year later.

There are many differences between the occupied Peiping and the former Peiping.

Not only were there a few more plaster flags on the top of the city, there were some more Japanese military police sentries at the intersections, and there were more Japanese people on the streets, it was as if the energy of the people had been sucked away, and they looked so listless.

It's June, and the weather hasn't really started to get hot yet, but it's already making people feel very irritable.

There was not a breath of wind on the street, and the wicker branches were wilted and hanging down softly, motionless, as if there were only cicadas screaming irritably between heaven and earth. I don't know how long I stopped before I heard a feeble cry: "Yangmei... iced..."

Beiping was already depressing in June, but after the Japanese arrived, the air seemed to make people even more depressing.

Yang Denghuan walked out of his home on Chongwenmen Street, wearing short sleeves and long trousers, with a leather bag under his arm, and walked slowly to the street.

The treasures in the alley of Jianzi Lane have been dug out by Yang Denghuan, but he does not live there.

The reason is that my sister-in-law is too enthusiastic. If something happens to such an enthusiastic sister-in-law, I will be sorry for my elder brother.

In fact, this is not the most important thing. The key is that with such a pair of eyes, it is inconvenient to do anything.

Although he did not live in it, Yang Denghuan did not give up the house, but kept it as a safe house.

There, there is no police officer Yang Denghuan, only Zhang Yi, a businessman from a single gang. The merchants of the single gang usually gather less and stay apart more often, so even if they don't go back for a few months, they won't arouse others' suspicion.

However, Yang Denghuan would still go back every few months. Every time he went back, he would bring some specialties from other places to his sister-in-law, showing that he was still there, just doing business away from home.

A foreign car called at the intersection. Yang Denghuan got into the car and said softly: "Police station."

The young man pulling the rickshaw was young. He was dressed in gray and very clean. His head was cleanly shaved. He pulled the rickshaw and ran very fast.

The driver often works in this area and is very familiar with Yang Denghuan. He knows that although this man works in the police station, he is very kind. Not only does he give money every time, but he also gives more every time.

"Officer Yang, it's quite early for you today." The coachman greeted with a smile.

"I also have to eat. There is no way to eat just for this." Yang Denghuan said with a sigh.

"Isn't it! In today's world..." The coachman sighed heavily.

The foreign cart turned around the corner quickly, and a small group of Japanese soldiers passed by. The driver stopped quickly and bowed respectfully. The Japanese soldiers turned a blind eye and walked over with an arrogant look.

When the Japanese soldiers walked away, the driver spat hard on the ground and muttered a curse.

"Young man, trouble comes from your mouth, there is no need to cause trouble for yourself." Yang Denghuan said softly with his eyes slightly closed.

"These grandsons can no longer make it in Japan, so they came to China to make a living! What's so great!" After the coachman finished speaking, he pulled the car and ran to the police station in a hurry.

When he arrived at the door of the police station, Yang Denghuan got out of the car, took out a few pieces of change from his pocket, handed it to the driver, and said with concern: "Brother, I would like to advise you, don't do this in the future. The police station has just established a special affairs department, and there is a The ideological unit is responsible for this matter, so it's best not to cause trouble for yourself."

The coachman expressed his gratitude and nodded repeatedly, "Officer Yang, I know you are different from them. You are a good person, and you are good at practicing in the yamen. I thank you! I thank you!"

"Actually... they are all the same at heart." Yang Deng said with a smile and walked towards the police station door.

Wang Dazui ran over from a distance with two pancakes and fruits in his hand and shouted: "Brother Huan! Brother Huan!"

"Run slower, let's see what potential you have." Yang Deng said with a smile.

"The pancakes and fruits are still warm!" Wang Dazui thrust a set of pancakes and fruits into Yang Denghuan's hand.

"I've eaten." Although Yang Denghuan said so, he still took it casually.

"Eat more. There are a lot of things today, so I may not have time to eat." Wang Dazui muttered as he stuffed pancakes and fruit into his mouth.

The two people talked and walked into the police station door side by side.

After the fall, the police station also changed its appearance. Although basically all police officers were retained, the organization has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Shortly after the fall of Peiping, traitors Wang Kemin, Qi Xieyuan, and Pan Yugui established the North China Government Affairs Committee at a very fast pace, taking over the entire police station immediately and adding one more Japanese consultant than before.

Under the "guidance" of Japanese consultants, the Peking Police Department established a special agent department.

Although the Secret Service Division is only a division in name, it has the largest staffing and power in the entire police station, and the largest number of subordinate teams and offices. There are more than 200 police officers, covering almost all the police station's business.

The chief of the Secret Service Section is Shen Yan. This is somewhat unexpected. This is due to his background of studying in Japan.

There are three main factions in the Peking Police Department. The first is the so-called "local faction". Most of these people come from the local police academy. For example, the original police chief Yu Jinhe and the director of the Detective Division No. 1 Zhong Zhensheng all belong to the "local faction". ".

This faction was the most powerful before the fall of Peiping and was also the most powerful faction in the police station.

The second faction is the so-called overseas study faction. Most of the Peking policemen who studied abroad came back from Japan, so this faction is also called the "Japanese faction." For example, Deputy Director Bai Wendi and Director of the Second Detective Division Shen Yan are the backbone of this faction.

As for the third faction, it refers to people like Qian Rufa who have been working as yamenmen for generations. From the Qing Dynasty to Beiyang, to General Song, and to the present Japanese, they all serve in the police station. If they leave If you don't have the police job, you can't do anything! This faction is called the "hereditary faction".

Compared with the Japanese-resident faction and the local faction, the strength of the hereditary faction is relatively small. Most of them are at the captain level at most. They do not have the strength to compete with the two factions and can only rely on one of them. Among them, there are those who are attached to the local faction and those who are attached to the Japanese-remaining faction.

The "hereditary faction" has the largest number of people in the police station, and they also have their own way of handling cases. Although it is unconventional, it has unexpected effects. This force cannot be underestimated. This makes no matter whether it is the "remaining faction" Or "localists", no one can do without them. On the contrary, they are the ones they strive to win over.

As for the hereditary faction, they didn't think much about it. Maybe they were used to seeing you sing and I come on stage, and the king's flag changes on the city wall, but they are the most calm when the times change.

"No matter who is in charge of the world, they can't do without the police! If I can't do without the police, I can enjoy a good life! I'm not just eating with anyone!"

This sentence is often mentioned by Qian Rufa, but it also represents the mentality of everyone in the "hereditary faction".

Now that Shen Yan has become the chief of the secret service section, a group of close associates of the Second Division, such as Qian Rufa, have naturally become more important and have been reused one after another.

The people from the Second Division finally felt proud in the police station. They even walked with pride.

The Detective Division has been downsized from more than a hundred people in two divisions to dozens of people in one division, and its powers and responsibilities have also been greatly reduced. Previously, the Detective Division was one of the top departments in the police station. Almost all major and important cases that occurred in Beiping were handled by the Detective Division.

Now, almost all of these cases have been taken over by the Special Agents Division, and the remaining trivial cases have been handed over to the Detective Division.

Greater responsibility means greater power. Without responsibility, there will naturally be no power. The relationship between them is often directly proportional.

Without responsibilities and powers, the Detective Division has become a useless part of the police station, doing nothing all day long.

Director Zhong Zhensheng couldn't even raise his head in the police station. Even when there was a meeting at the middle level of the bureau, Zhong Zhensheng was too embarrassed to sit forward, but sat far away in the corner.

Unlike Zhong Zhensheng, Shen Yan in the police station can be regarded as "the one who is proud of the spring breeze and sees all the flowers in Chang'an in one day." His hearty laughter can be heard at the police station at any time.

The Secret Service Section is now very strong, with two teams just for operations.

The captain of the first team is still Qian Rufa, and the captain of the second team is still Huang Tianhe.

The first team and the second team are responsible for operations, and the third team is responsible for intelligence. Shen Yan was originally planning to leave the captain's position to Yang Denghuan, but in the end it was left to an action member of the original second team. This person's name was Ma Tiancheng.

Ma Tiancheng was little known. Before the fall, he had no sense of presence in the Second Team or even in the Second Detective Division. Even Shen Yan didn't know who this guy was.

However, Ma Tiancheng was designated by the Japanese as the leader of the Intelligence Team of the Secret Service Section. Of course, Shen Yan did not dare to disobey this point, so he had to let Ma Tiancheng take the position of captain of the third team.

Shen Yan also inquired about Ma Tiancheng's relationship with the Japanese, which made the Japanese pay so much attention to him.

Although the Japanese are very secretive, there is no airtight wall, let alone a place of right and wrong like the police station!

Later, news finally came out that Ma Tiancheng had been working for the Japanese before the fall of Peking and had a close relationship with the Japanese spy agency Tongwen Yuan.

This couldn't help but remind Yang Denghuan of the mysterious lurking figure "Mole".

But there is no clue to prove that Ma Tiancheng is a mole.

Ma Tiancheng is a serious man and doesn't have much contact with his colleagues. He goes to work on time, gets off work on time, and occasionally works overtime. Everything is done step by step, just like an insignificant clerk in an ordinary organization.

But Ma Tiancheng seemed to have many eyes and ears and was well-informed. He doesn't know what special information channels he has, but in the few months after taking office, he solved several major cases and destroyed several traffic stations. Whether it is the National Party Affairs Office, the Secret Service Office, or the Social Affairs Department of the Communist Party, they have all suffered at the hands of Ma Tiancheng.

This makes people look at Ma Tiancheng with admiration.

Ma Tiancheng was so popular in the Secret Service that even Qian Rufa was suppressed by him and became Shen Yan's new confidant.

The fourth team is in charge of telecommunications and is responsible for detecting and destroying the radio stations of various anti-Japanese teams. The captain is Zhang Wenyuan, the former top expert in the telecommunications department of the police station.

The Secret Service Section took over the original responsibility of the Telecommunications Department to detect secret radio stations. All that was left for the Telecommunications Department was to check the use of commercial radio stations. It can be said that its power has plummeted.

There are four main teams in the Secret Service, and each team has its own captain, which leaves Yang Denghuan empty.

The original promise Shen Yan made to Yang Denghuan has now become a piece of cake.

Shen Yan felt sorry for Yang Denghuan, but the situation was such that he had no choice but to go to Yang Denghuan several times, talk to Yang Denghuan, and persuade Yang Denghuan.

Shen Yan repeatedly expressed to Yang Denghuan that as long as any captain of the four main teams is vacant, Yang Denghuan will be filled immediately.

Yang Denghuan didn't care. Shen Yan talked a lot. Instead, Yang Denghuan comforted Shen Yan, saying that he was still young and should exercise down below. Only by accumulating experience can he go further. If a young person lacks experience and suddenly takes a high position, he will fall down sooner or later.

When he said these words, Yang Denghuan looked sincere and his tone was humble, which made Shen Yan very satisfied and actually praised him a few times.

Regarding Yang Denghuan’s appointment, Yang Denghuan insisted on being a team leader, leading Wang Dazui and Qiao Wude. However, Shen Yan refused to say anything and insisted that Yang Denghuan could not be treated badly. In the end, Yang Denghuan reluctantly became the deputy of the first team. Captain, served as deputy to Qian Rufa.

Li Zhaohui, the original deputy captain of the first team, went to Yaoer Hutong and became Meng Xianhai's deputy.

For a year, there was no peace. Yang Denghuan spent all day doing nothing and living in a muddle. He didn't study horse racing with Wang Dazui every day, which actually made him win a lot of money.

Or just wandering around the city of Peiping with Qiao Wude and Wang Dazui. This also added countless experiences and allowed Yang Denghuan to make many friends in the world.

Yang Denghuan and Wang Dazui held the pancakes in one hand and gnawed the pancakes in the other's mouth. They entered the small courtyard that used to belong to the Detective Division and is now the office of the Secret Service Division, and walked into the large office of the First Team.

The Detective Division No. 1 moved to the former office space of the Detective Division II. The entire small yard was given over to the Secret Service Section in the corridor room in the front yard.

All of a sudden, the office space of the Secret Service Division has doubled in size, and everyone no longer has to squeeze together.

Qian Rufa had a disagreement with Huang Tianhe since the last internal investigation incident. Until now, the two of them have been estranged from each other and rarely spoke except for official matters.

Qian Rufa looked down upon Ma Tiancheng even more. The more Shen Yan valued Ma Tiancheng, the more Qian Rufa looked down upon him.

Although Qian Rufa looked at Ma Tiancheng with a smile on his face, but when he turned his back, Qian Rufa must have spat on the ground and said disdainfully, "What the hell!"

Zhang Wenyuan and Qian Rufa can talk a few words, and occasionally they go to Chunxiang Pavilion to drink wine together, so now the office of the first team is quite close to the fourth team, and it is also close to the other two teams. distance.

Even though there is no distance in space, there is a big distance psychologically!

Since the boss is at odds with each other, the brothers below naturally don't dare to have much contact with each other. They meet each other at the police station. Even if they are familiar with each other, they don't dare to talk much and just say hello.

The only exception is Yang Denghuan. Whether he was with Huang Tianhe or Ma Tiancheng, at least on the surface they seemed to be in harmony. Sometimes they would stand together in the courtyard, smoke cigarettes and chat for a while, and they seemed to have a fairly close relationship.

Qian Rufa turned a blind eye to Yang Denghuan. When he saw him coming into contact with Huang Tianhe or Ma Tiancheng, he just treated him as invisible and ignored them.

Qian Rufa occupied a single room as his office. Originally, he also allocated a single room to Yang Denghuan, right next to him.

However, Yang Denghuan felt that it was inappropriate for a deputy captain to occupy an office, so he did not use it. He still worked in the big office with Qiao Wude and the others.

Even so, the office assigned to Yang Denghuan was not occupied. It was fully equipped with office equipment, including desks, chairs, and cabinets. It was still cleaned every day, as if waiting for Yang Denghuan to move in at any time.

As soon as Yang Denghuan and Wang Dazui walked into the big office, Qiao Wude came up to them and said in a somewhat urgent tone: "Captain Yang, Captain Qian has been waiting in the office for a long time. Come and find him as soon as he asks you to come over!"
