Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 496 A show of force?
In Director Liu's eyes, the newly appointed Deputy Director Li is the noble man who may be able to help him.

He didn't mind at all that he, a fifty-year-old man, had to serve a young man who was less than forty years old.

He personally cleaned and decorated this office with his own people. The desks, chairs, and sofas were all new. Even the bed and bedding in the bedroom of the suite were newly purchased.

It took him a lot of effort.

"Director Li, according to the regulations, you can be assigned a communicator and a driver. What do you think?"

Director Liu did not act smart and say to arrange people from the office secretarial department and driver team, but asked.

"Director Liu, please go through the procedures and transfer my secretary Guan Weidong from the Social Affairs Bureau headquarters to work as my communicator. As for the driver, I don't need him. I'm used to driving myself. If you need him, I can find one from the driver team."

"I understand, Director Li. I will start to handle the job transfer of the secretary when I get down. Then you can decide how to assign a car. The deputy director of our bureau is assigned a Jeep. The logistics department only assigned one last year. It is in very good condition."

"There's no need for a car. The car I drive was given to me as a reward from the higher-ups. I can just keep driving this car. I just need to get the gas coupons from the bureau."

Reward? And it’s a reward for an individual!

Hearing this, Director Liu raised his eyebrows calmly.

He said, why is this person still driving the previous car when he came here, it seems that the other person's car is his own car, not a public car, wow, it's really wow, he didn't know what to say.

At present, the only car used by Director Gao in their bureau is a Volga sedan, while the cars of other deputy directors are jeeps. He specifically pointed out that there was a new jeep, and he also wanted to take credit for it, but he didn't expect that he would never use it.

"I'll have them prepare the gas tickets. Director Li, just call me when you need them."

"Director Liu, you don't have to be so polite. You can address me as you like. We are colleagues. You are a few years older than me, so just address me as you like."

Being called this and that by a man who was ten years older than him, Li Yancheng felt uncomfortable all over his body. After hearing it a few times, he quickly opened his mouth to point it out.

The use of the word "你" has reached a point of being excessive among Beijingers. It is both a sign of respect and politeness, especially when addressing strangers. Even elders will use "你" when addressing young people.

For so many years, this way of speaking has always been difficult for Li Yancheng, who is not a Beijing native, to accept.

At the same time, in the Criminal Investigation Corps office area far away near Banbuqiao Street in the west district of the city, Deputy Corps Captain Zhu Dongjun, who was on duty today and did not go to the Municipal Bureau to attend the meeting, received a call from the Rouhuai County Bureau forwarded by the duty room.

Before the establishment of the Corps, Zhu Dongjun was the deputy director of the First Division. After its establishment, his old leader Duan Guobang was transferred to the Equipment Division as director, while he stayed in the new Corps and became the deputy commander like Jin Zhihai.

He is quite satisfied with this adjustment. He is only 45 years old this year and can be considered a young cadre. If he works hard, it is not impossible for him to be promoted to a higher level before he turns 50. It is relatively easy to make achievements in criminal investigation.

Normally, he would not have any unusual emotions regarding the calls transferred to the duty room from the district and county bureaus below. These calls usually meant there were major cases. After receiving the report, he would just follow the normal process. This was how he handled it when he was in the same place before.

But after receiving the call from the Rouhuai County Bureau today, especially after hearing the content clearly, Zhu Dongjun was overwhelmed. What was this, a welcome ceremony for the new leader?

The call from the Rouhuai County Bureau was indeed a call to report a case. At around nine o'clock this morning, the Huaibei Police Station under Rouhuai received a report from the head of a village in the jurisdiction, saying that a couple in the village were found dead in the house, and their two children were missing, neither alive nor dead.

After receiving the call from the village chief, the chief of the police station arranged for people to protect the scene, while notifying the bureau and asking the criminal investigation team to come over.

After the county bureau's duty room received the report from the police station, it immediately arranged for the criminal investigation team to respond. After the police officers from the criminal investigation team reported back from the scene and confirmed that this was indeed a serious case, the county bureau immediately called the Criminal Investigation Corps to request support.

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Dongjun didn't dare to waste time no matter how conflicted he was. He picked up the phone again and dialed again. He didn't know whether the meeting of the Municipal Bureau was over at this time, so he could only try calling Li Yancheng's office first.

Li Yancheng is not only the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, but also the chief of the Criminal Investigation Corps. If the district and county bureaus have cases that require support, they must report to him as soon as possible. Fortunately, the phone was picked up after it rang twice.

"Hello, I'm Li Yancheng."

"Hello Director Li, I'm Zhu Dongjun."

"Hello, Vice President Zhu. I heard that you are on duty in the team today. Is there anything you want to talk about at this time?"

When Li Yancheng heard that the call was from the deputy captain on duty in the team, he immediately perked up. He knew very well that if it was not an important matter, Zhu Dongjun, as a subordinate, would definitely not choose to communicate with the new leader for the first time by phone in this way, even though the two had known each other for a long time because of work.

"I'm so sorry, Director Li. I just received a report from the Rouhuai County Bureau that a vicious case occurred in their jurisdiction. A couple was killed at home, and their two children are missing..."

Zhu Dongjun didn't waste any words and quickly told some of the known information.

Listening to the content coming from the receiver, Li Yancheng's brows were furrowed into a "川" shape. What was this? Was this a way for the criminals to show off their power to the newly appointed deputy director in charge of criminal investigation?
The police report was an order, and he had no time to think about it. He immediately asked Zhu Dongjun to send people to Rouhuai according to normal procedures. At the same time, he also said.

"Let me lead the team today. I want to see who will give me this kind of face."

!!!

When these words were spoken, both Zhu Dongjun on the other end of the phone and Director Liu in Li Yancheng's office were stunned.

This lord seems to be playing by his own rules!

Today is only your first day in office. The director held a welcome party in the evening and asked the kitchen staff to prepare two more dishes for dinner so that all members of the bureau team could sit together.

Moreover, although the order has been announced and you have officially become the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, the handover procedures have not been completed. The deputy director who has been transferred away will come back tomorrow to formally start the handover.

In other words, strictly speaking, you have not yet formally completed all the procedures, but you have to go to the crime scene in person today. What's going on?
But Li Yancheng didn't even give Zhu Dongjun a chance to speak on the other end of the phone and just made the decision.

"Deputy President Zhu, it's settled. Send someone out right now. I'll drive over from the Municipal Bureau and tell them to meet at the Rouhuai County Bureau."

After saying this, he reached out and pressed the hook spring on the telephone, but did not put down the receiver.

"Director Liu, if you have anything else, let's talk about it when I get back." While talking to Director Liu, his subordinate dialed another number.

"Hello, Director Dai. I'm Li Yancheng. There's a vicious murder case in Rouhuai. I'm going to lead a team there to take a look. Please tell Director Qiao about the handover. I'll contact him to discuss a suitable time when I get back."

"Okay, Chief Li, I understand. Please tell the director as well."

"Okay, I'll call the director right away."

Lao Dai, the executive deputy, also came from the criminal investigation department. He was vigorous and decisive in his work. He didn't say any nonsense. He knew the priorities of the matters and gave direct orders.

After pressing the hook spring, Li Yancheng made another call, this time to Director Gao.

Director Liu, who was originally sitting on the sofa, had stood up and walked to the desk. He picked up the car keys on the desk and gestured. When Li Yancheng nodded, he turned around, walked to the office door, opened it and walked out.

"Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang..."

"Yes, Director Liu, I'm here."

A young man ran out of an office on the other side of the floor.

"Here are Director Li's car keys. Drive to the logistics fuel depot and fill up the tank. Then bring back a hundred liters of fuel tickets and the keys.

Director Li’s car is the black one with a Shanghai license plate.”

"Okay Director Liu, I'll go right away. Do you want me to wash the car?"

"No, let's wash the car another day. We are in a hurry today, so please speed up."

"Yes"

When Director Liu returned to the office, Li Yancheng had already finished talking to Director Gao and made another call.

This time he called the Luo family. Luo Min had classes tonight and would not be going home, so he didn't have to worry about picking her up, but the two children had to be taken care of.

After finishing the call, he put down the receiver and looked at Director Liu.

"I'll have someone fill up your car with gas, it'll be ready in a minute."

Seeing him looking at him, Director Liu immediately began to explain.

Li Yancheng looked at Director Liu deeply, didn't say anything, just nodded, then walked behind the door and took off his hat.

"Let's go, I'll wait downstairs."

Director Liu got to see the new deputy director Li's work style today, which made him slightly change his attitude towards him in the future. Although one thing alone cannot prove anything, it is not clear whether this person is the kind of leader who puts work first, but even if it is just a show, he did it after all, and it was on his first day in office.

What kind of person he will be next will require gradual contact and understanding in future work, but deep down, Director Liu still prefers to deal with people who focus on work in everything, because he feels that such people are relatively simple and do not have so many other thoughts.

Unlike some people, who spend the whole day at work thinking about people instead of things.

"Director Li, it's already time for dinner. Why don't you finish your meal before leaving?"

After leaving the office, Director Liu remembered to look at the watch on his wrist. It was already eleven fifty and it was almost time for lunch. If he let this person leave without eating, he would not know when he would have time to eat.

As for whether he eats or not, that is his business. You should remind him if necessary.

"Forget it, I'm not hungry right now, let's wait and see after Rou Huai."

"Director Li, Director Liu"

"Director Li, Director Liu"

……

In the corridor, the staff passing by greeted the two of them one after another. Li Yancheng would ask Director Liu to introduce everyone who greeted him.

Taking this opportunity, he not only got to know the people, but also observed Director Liu.

Not bad. The initial impression Director Liu left on him was quite good. At least, he could clearly tell which department each person who greeted him was from and what their name was, even if that person was not from this floor.

There are hundreds of people in the municipal bureau, and it is definitely not an easy task to remember everyone. From this point of view alone, Director Liu, as the chief steward, has done a very good job.

They stopped and started along the way. When they went down from the third floor to the first floor and walked out of the office building, Xiao Yang, who had gone to refuel the car, had already driven the car to the downstairs of the office building.

Li Yancheng didn't say anything else. He got in the car and prepared to leave. As soon as he got in, the car walkie-talkie rang.

"Director Li, Director Li, I'm Zhu Dongjun, I'm Zhu Dongjun, can you hear me?"

"Vice President Zhu, I'm Li Yancheng."

"Director Li, please change the channel. Our team's encrypted channel is ***"

After changing the call channel, the call resumes.

"Director Li, my team is ready to set off. Do you need me to pick you up?"

"No, I can drive. Vice President Zhu, who will be on duty in the team if you leave?"

"Political Commissar Wan has returned to the team. He is on duty."

"Okay, then we'll meet at the Rouhuai County Bureau. Please drive safely on the road."

"Yes"

Throwing the intercom on the passenger seat, Li Yancheng nodded to Director Liu and drove towards the gate. As soon as he drove out of the gate, he saw Jin Zhihai standing on the side of the road waving at him.

"What are you standing here for?"

Li Yancheng drove the car to Jin Zhihai, stopped, rolled down the window and asked.

"I wanted to talk to you after lunch, but when I saw you get in the car, I knew you were going out, so I waited for you here."

"Is something wrong?"

"Where are you going now? Are you in a hurry?"

"You don't know yet?"

"Know what?" Jin Zhihai felt a little puzzled.

"There's a vicious murder in Rouhuai. I'm going to take a look. Dongjun has already left the team with his men."

"Uh... I've been in the bureau since the meeting, so I don't know about this."

"It's alright, just go do your thing. I'm going to go see which gentleman gave me such a big gift on my first day in office. By the way, what do you want from me?"

"I'm not in a hurry. I just want to talk about the case. You can go do that first."

"Okay, just continue your investigation according to the plan you previously agreed upon, and we'll talk when I come back."

"it is good"

Uh...

Watching the car go away quickly, Jin Zhihai took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one for himself.

His good brother encountered a vicious homicide case on his first day in office. Although he was not clear about the details of the case, a case that could be called a vicious one would at least have resulted in the deaths of two or more people. He didn't know if this was a foreshadowing of something.

Ugh……

After sighing silently, he turned and walked into the yard. The announcement for the end of get off work at noon had already sounded, and he planned to finish his meal here before leaving.

……

"Old Liu, I heard that Director Li is at the scene?"

"It's Director Chen. Yes, Director Li went to the scene. It seems that a case happened in Rouhuai."

Director Liu, who had just finished his meal, heard someone talking to him from behind. He turned around and saw that it was Deputy Director Chen Daqiang, who was in charge of the trade union and women's work and also served as the trade union director.

"Tsk tsk, they are young people after all, full of energy and enthusiasm. They have already started to visit the site before the formalities have even been handed over."

These words gave people a sarcastic feeling, and Director Liu frowned slightly without saying anything.

He could understand why this person suddenly spoke like this. Chen Daqiang was transferred from the post of political commissar of the East City Branch to the Municipal Bureau last year. He was 48 years old this year. Before Li Yancheng came, he was the youngest member of the Municipal Bureau team.

If we trace back further, he was promoted from the position of captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the East City Branch to the political commissar of the branch, and he was definitely a criminal investigation specialist.

This time, the former deputy director in charge of criminal investigation has been transferred, and the responsibilities of the bureau team members must be readjusted. Director Gao originally planned to let Chen Daqiang be in charge of criminal investigation. His rank will remain unchanged as deputy director, but the weight of the work he is in charge of will become heavier, which is also a disguised promotion.

Then he would promote a deputy director-general to take over the Trade Union's business. He had already considered the candidate, and then he would adjust the responsibilities of several other deputy directors.

But who would have thought that after he reported his idea to the headquarters and the city, both sides rejected his proposal and said that they would transfer someone from other units.

At first, Director Gao didn't know who was being transferred here, and he was a little worried. After all, criminal investigation work is no different from other work and is highly professional. The public security environment has not been very good in the past two years, and various criminal cases have occurred frequently. He was really worried that someone who knew nothing would be assigned to him and it would be a real strain on his old bones.

Later, when he learned that the person who was parachuted in was Li Yancheng, he first sighed that it was good to have someone in the court, and even the work he was in charge of was directly decided by the higher-ups, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he is not from the criminal investigation field, he has worked on the front line of the social affairs bureau, and his criminal investigation is no different from that of their public security system.

Moreover, this person is a famous interrogation expert. He has seen those miraculous interrogation techniques. With this person around, at least there will be no need to worry about any wrongful convictions in the future.

Director Gao didn't have any other emotions about Li Yancheng's transfer, but it was different for Chen Daqiang, as this blocked his path to promotion.

He is only 48 years old this year and can be considered to be in the prime of life, but the job he is in charge of is really puzzling. He ranks last in the team and is not even as good as Director Liu, the chief steward in the office.

He failed to adjust his responsibilities this time. He will be delayed in this position for another two years. After he turns fifty, he will have no capital left, and it will be extremely difficult to move up.

That's why his words sounded a bit sarcastic at this moment.

Director Liu couldn't stand this person, not just because of what he had just said.
