You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 371 A Historic Moment!

In early December, it was the first snowfall of the year.

Qincheng Criminal Police Detachment.

On the second floor, in front of the mirror, is a list of honors.

The number of cases solved by the first team has risen to twelve.

The Second Brigade has solved ten cases.

The number of cases solved by the Third Brigade was written on the blackboard as a tally mark, but it was missing the bottom horizontal stroke.

Although the Third Brigade only solved four cases, the members of the First and Second Brigades did not dare to underestimate them.

It's important to know that the new Third Brigade was only established for a month. If the timeframe is extended, there would be far more than just four cases.

Everyone knows this. If we include the cases that Yang Jinwen and others solved in An'nan City, then they are definitely at the top of the branch.

Yang Jinwen, Yao Weihua, and Cai Ting are alright; they don't care too much about being at the top or the prize money. They're looking ahead to next year, and we'll see who comes out on top then.

Cat was worried, after all, it would be 1999 in just one month.

He thought that if he could get the top spot this year, the year-end bonus, plus his savings, and if he borrowed some money from Yang Jinwen, Wen Ling, Yao Weihua, Cai Ting, He Jinbo, Zheng Kang, Jiang Jianbing, Xu Guoliang, Feng Xiaocai, Li Yang and others, he could buy a small apartment.

Cat thought to himself that Yang Jinwen and Wen Ling had to step in and do the big job for him. He had covered for them a lot when they were dating, otherwise Wen Mo would have shot Yang Jinwen long ago.

Putting everything else aside, Wen Ling also privately asked him to keep an eye on Yang Jinwen, and she herself did a lot of work in that regard.

Master He Jinbo can certainly contribute a considerable amount, but getting past his wife will be difficult.

Feng Xiaocai's outfit is worth a month's salary; she has money.

Jiang Jianbing and Xu Guoliang are the stingiest. They hand over their wages to all the teachers' wives. They can't pay their grain tax, but their wages must be paid. So we need these two good people. We have to go home and talk to them a bit.

If they don't get the top spot, the line of people asking for loans will expand. People like Jiang Bala and Fu Yun, who were transferred to the An'nan City Criminal Police Detachment, are definitely not short of money, but they aren't exactly generous either.

"Eh……"

The cat stood in front of the mirror, looked at her face, and sighed deeply.

He wondered if he was being too shameless. Borrowing money from so many people would be too much of a burden for them. He was too shy to ask.

There's still a month left. It's unlikely that a major case will occur in Qincheng, resulting in several deaths, and that the Third Brigade will successfully solve the case before the end of the year.

No matter how I look at it, there's no way I'll get the bonus. Who knows, I might even have to perform somersaults on the provincial hall's big stage at the year-end commendation meeting.

"What are you looking at? Are you coming or not?"

Yao Weihua stood in the lobby on the first floor and yelled at the cat upstairs.

"Coming!" Cat ran downstairs.

Yao Weihua and Cai Ting were carrying bags, while Feng Xiaocai stood to the side, also holding a travel bag.

Yao Weihua said, "Xiao Cai, you finally got two days off, are you really planning to come to Annam with us?"

Feng Xiaocai nodded: "I haven't been to An'nan City yet."

"Then where do you live?"

Cai Ting invited, "Xiao Cai, stay at my place. I live alone anyway."

Cat asked, "Sister Cai, don't you have a boyfriend?"

A few days ago, after learning that Wen Mo was going to give them a holiday, the group discussed it and decided to go back to An'nan.

Feng Xiaocai thought the provincial capital was boring, but she still wanted to go and see it.

Cai Ting rolled her eyes at the cat: "My boyfriend is dead."

"Huh?" Cat was startled. "Murder? Or died of illness?"

"Hey, what do you mean by constantly worrying about murders?"

"I was just asking." The cat scratched the back of its head.

Feng Xiaocai laughed and said, "My aunt lives in Annam, and besides, my family has two houses in Annam, so you don't need to worry."

Upon hearing this, the cat's eyes widened, and it swallowed hard.

"What? Two...two houses?"

"Hmm." Feng Xiaocai's eyes were clear; she was clearly unaware of Cat Brother's predicament.

"Ha," Yao Weihua laughed, "It really is a case of the rich dying rich and the poor dying poor."

The cat's values ​​and outlook on life collapsed in an instant.

As Yang Jinwen came out of the office and the group were about to walk outside, they were immediately met by a group of people walking towards them.

Led by Wu Daqing and Li Yang, the group saw Yang Jinwen and his companions. The taxi driver leading the group, Qian Hua, immediately jogged forward and tightly grasped Yang Jinwen's hand.

"Team Leader Yang."

Yang Jinwen glanced at them and smiled, "What's wrong? Are you treating me to dinner?"

"If you'd like, we'll go now."

"Just kidding." Yang Jinwen nodded and looked at the crowd.

Besides being taxi drivers, the group included Zeng Desong's daughter, Zeng Qianqian, and a woman holding a child whom he had never seen before.

Qian Hua introduced, "This is Tao Junpeng's wife and child. We came here specifically to thank you."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jinwen nodded to the woman.

"Thank you, thank you Captain Yang, thank you all the police officers for catching the murderer who killed my wife."

The woman expressed her gratitude while tears streamed down her face.

Cai Ting and Feng Xiaocai stepped forward and gently held her shoulders; neither of them knew how to comfort her.

No matter how comforting the words, they cannot alleviate the grief in the hearts of the victim's family.

Qian Hua knew that Yang Jinwen and the others had come at the wrong time as soon as he saw that they were carrying bags.

So he beckoned and took a scroll from the driver, Zhong Qiming.

Zhong Qiming had one more scroll in his hand, making a total of two scrolls.

"Captain Yang, this is a banner for your Third Battalion."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jinwen raised an eyebrow. Yao Weihua and Maozi immediately straightened their posture and put their backs up.

This is the first time the newly formed Third Brigade has received a banner from the people.

Salary, promotion, and medals of merit are all given by superiors, and they are somewhat inflated. For example, some people with connections have higher positions and easier jobs than Maozi.

It should be noted that although Maozi has never solved a case independently, he has solved many major cases under Yang Jinwen's guidance over the past few years. In terms of seniority and experience, he should have been promoted to deputy team leader long ago.

Besides, the banners presented by the people are of great value.

After all, 90% of the general public is criticizing you.

Some leaders don't receive one for several years, so they secretly make one and hang it in their office.

Anyway, I don't know who sent it or why.

So Yao Weihua quickly called out, "Xiao Cai, go back inside and call the propaganda officer over."

"Okay, okay!" Feng Xiaocai ran back.

Yao Weihua shouted again, "Oh no, we're wearing casual clothes."

Yang Jinwen waved his hand and said, "Change your clothes. Captain Wu, Li Yang, you two go and change into your uniforms too."

At the critical moment, Yang Jinwen remembered his father-in-law: "Sister Cai, call out to Director Wen and Captain Wu."

"Great!" Li Yang was overjoyed, and Wu Daqing was also delighted.

At this time, more and more people gathered in front of the building, mainly the old men from the first and second brigades, as well as people from other departments who came to do business.

There are changing rooms in the brigade building, and Yang Jinwen and his colleagues' uniforms are all hanging in their own closets. The main reason is that you never know when the leader will ask you to wear your uniform.

It's too much trouble to change into the uniform if I leave it at home.

They wear uniforms on important occasions, but Yang Jinwen and his colleagues have been in the Qincheng Detachment for more than a month and have never worn them once.

Compared to wearing it for the leaders, it's definitely more honorable and gives you a greater sense of pride to wear it for the people!

At this moment, Yang Jinwen and the others ran into their wardrobe rooms one after another and changed their clothes.

When Yao Weihua took off his clothes, the cat glanced at him and was immediately frightened.

"No way, Lao Yao, how did you train? Your biceps are thicker than my thighs!"

As Yao Weihua took off his thermal underwear and put on his shirt, he scoffed, "When I was young, I wanted to be a weightlifting champion, but unfortunately I wasn't selected for the provincial team."

The cat raised an eyebrow: "Impressive."

"You haven't seen Sister Cai's thighs. Sister Cai used to train for the 100-meter dash when she was in school."

"If she hadn't injured her ankle, she definitely could have won an Olympic gold medal for our country. Her boyfriend is a long-distance runner from our Qincheng provincial team."

"Holy crap, I never said you guys used to be athletes, how did you become criminal police officers?"

"Well, it's a long story..." Yao Weihua sighed, looking regretful.

Yang Jinwen buttoned up his uniform and laughed, "Don't listen to Lao Yao's bragging. Sister Cai used to be a long-distance runner, that's true. Lao Yao didn't train in weightlifting, he's lying to you."

Yao Weihua chuckled twice.

Cat rolled her eyes: "Your mouth is even better at lying than Sister Cai's."

After the three of them changed into their uniforms, they happened to run into Cai Ting and Feng Xiaocai coming out of the women's changing room.

After waiting for a while, Wen Mo and Wu Kai came downstairs. The group put on police hats and walked with a standard swaying gait towards the lobby on the first floor.

At this time, more and more taxi drivers arrived, and more than a hundred people were standing at the bottom of the steps.

Wen Mo felt incredibly proud, his face practically glowing with pride.

This was the first time he had taken police publicity photos since being transferred to Qincheng Public Security Bureau, and he was doing so with the general public.

What an honor this is!
Wu Kai was also very excited and did not think that the Third Brigade's successful investigation of the taxi driver murder case would shake his position.

After all, a case is a case, and work is work. He has a clear sense of right and wrong. Without this awareness, the people in the First and Second Battalions wouldn't respect him.

At this moment, an officer from the propaganda department, with a camera hanging around his neck, waved and shouted, "Come on, come on, Director Wen and Captain Wu, stand in the middle, and the Third Brigade move closer to the two leaders."

Director Wen and Captain Wu, you are standing in the third row, with the Third Brigade right next to the leaders.

The crowd stood in line, one by one. And please, don't push.

These taxi drivers were made to stand on the steps, and they all looked bewildered. They had just come over to say hello, but who the hell wanted to take pictures?

The photos were taken with the police officers from the Third Brigade. What's the point of having two leaders here?
Then, the publicity officer shouted, "Family members, family members, stand in the middle, unfold the banner, yes, lower the banner."

Immediately afterwards, the two golden scrolls were set down with a 'click'.

The members of the Third Battalion, as well as those of the First and Second Battalions who were watching, stared intently.

One of the scrolls reads: "Solving cases like a god, serving the people."

The girl standing next to Yang Jinwen, Zeng Qianqian, was holding a banner with the words: "People's Guardian, Fearless."

The police officers from the Criminal Investigation Detachment looked at the banner in the girl's hand with burning passion in their eyes.

They seemed to think that competing for that honor roll was not as meaningful as this.

Especially in the lobby on the first floor, Ma Hui and Sun Yue, two old-timers, each holding a mop, asked enviously, "Old Ma, has your brigade ever won a banner?"

Ma Hui shook his head: "Our Captain Lu used to work in the Xingye District Criminal Investigation Brigade."

Sun Yue said, "Then that means we didn't get it. Our Second Brigade never got it either."

Ma Hui clicked his tongue: "They usually send them to the leaders' offices, why would they give them to us?"

"That's true, I'm envious."

"Stop being envious, let's hurry up and clean the toilet on the first floor, I still need to go upstairs to work on a case."

Sun Yue nodded: "Yes, I'm busy too. It'll be 99 soon, and this year is almost over."

At this moment, the propaganda officer standing at the bottom of the steps held up his camera to his eyes, bent down, and shouted, "I'll count to three..."

After counting to three, the propaganda officer pressed the shutter.

The case of the murder of a taxi driver, solved by the Third Detachment, has been closed.

The photo of the Third Traffic Police Brigade and taxi drivers was taken at 9:00 AM on December 2, 1998.
