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

Chapter 405 Group Award Ceremony!

September 1999, 1, noon.

The main hall of the Provincial Government Building in Qincheng.

The three squads stepped out of the auditorium, each wearing the Type 95 police uniform, except that the shoulder insignia had been changed.

Previously, Yang Jinwen was a second-level police inspector with two bars and two stars. Now he has been promoted to a first-level police inspector, and his shoulder insignia have been changed to two bars and three stars, making him a section chief.

The reason I didn't mention the deputy director level is because of the position, but everyone knows it's only a matter of time.

Yang Jinwen is now a proper high-ranking leader. If he were to take up an important position in the county, he would be entitled to the treatment of a deputy bureau chief. In the Qincheng Detachment, his police rank is equal to that of Wu Kai and one level higher than that of Lu Ruixiang, which shows the leader's favoritism.

Yao Weihua and Cai Ting's shoulder insignia were changed to two bars and two stars, indicating they were second-level police inspectors.

Cat is a two-star officer, a third-level police inspector.

Feng Xiaocai was awarded one bar and three stars and was promoted to first-class superintendent.

In addition, the Third Brigade also received a collective second-class merit, and Yang Jinwen received an individual third-class merit.

The bonus that Maozi has been eagerly anticipating will only be distributed during the Spring Festival, and the amount is as high as 10,000 yuan.

Even after receiving the medal, the cat still felt dazed, as if it had fallen into a honey pot.

What he didn't know was that in the future, there wouldn't be such a fast promotion speed. Ninety-nine percent of people would only get the salary of a section chief by the time they retired.

This is the perfect time to reap the benefits.

The Third Brigade was the last to leave the auditorium because several high-ranking leaders had spoken to them privately for a while, offering words of encouragement.

Wen Mo also introduced them to some high-ranking leaders from the provincial and ministerial departments to make things easier for them in the future.

Right now, neither the first nor the second brigade has been seen; they probably felt embarrassed and slipped away early.

But everyone could clearly see how frustrated these old-timers were, especially Ma Hui and Sun Yue, whose expressions were as if they had eaten shit.

Yao Weihua dusted off his shoulders and laughed, "Captain Yang, it's already noon, where shall we go for a meal?"

"Let's talk about it tonight. The brigade has a meeting this afternoon."

Yang Jinwen rejected it. At the beginning of the new year, there were meetings big and small all the time. In the few days he had been at work, he had been attending various meetings every day and hadn't been to the office much.

Yao Weihua suggested again, "I'll treat everyone tonight."

Cai Ting shrugged: "Anyone can pay, they all received 10,000 yuan."

The cat, panting heavily, said, "It won't be given to us until Chinese New Year."

Cai Ting said disdainfully, "If it's yours, does it think it can fly?"

Cat scratched the back of his head: "It's like a dream, this is ten thousand yuan! I've never seen so much money before."

Feng Xiaocai laughed and said, "Brother Cat, money isn't important, what's important is this on your shoulder."

Cai Ting said with a smile, "That's why he has low standards. Alright. Old Yao and I will treat you to dinner tonight."

The happiest among them were Yao Weihua and Cai Ting. They used to work in the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the An'nan Municipal Public Security Bureau, where they sat in the office all day and couldn't get any cases.

Since following Yang Jinwen for the past two years, we have solved a number of major cases and been promoted several ranks in police rank. What a great honor that is!
Based on their rank, if they were to be sent out, they would at least be a battalion commander.

"It's a pity about Qi Bin." Maozi sighed. "If he had come to the provincial capital with us back then, he would have made it big by now."

Yao Weihua sighed, "It's all fate."

The cat smugly thought, "So, my standards aren't low either."

"That's right. Your master, He Jinbo, treats people like cattle and horses. Luckily, you followed Captain Yang, otherwise, you would have been ruined long ago."

"Get lost, don't talk about my master like that," Cat cursed.

After the group returned to the Qincheng Detachment, they saw the First and Second Battalions walking out.

Yao Weihua grabbed Ma Hui's arm: "Old Ma, where are you going?"

Ma Hui glanced at his epaulets and found them irritating: "Where else could he be? There's a case."

Yao Weihua gestured with his chin toward the Second Brigade, where Shen Wenzhu was leading people into the car.

"The Second Squad also has cases?"

"That's because I thought your Third Brigade was so lucky. Alright, I'm getting busy." Ma Hui rolled his eyes and hurriedly walked out.

In a short while, more than half of the cars had driven out of the parking lot in front of the detachment building.

Yao Weihua said, "Damn, with the new year starting, the First and Second Detachments are going to start competing for the highest crime-solving rate again."

Yang Jinwen shrugged: "Let's make this clear first, when we encounter a case, don't rush, we won't fight or compete for it."

"You've said that before, but you still got first place," Cat teased.

Hearing this, everyone smiled.

Next to the mirror on the second floor, the blackboards of the three teams have been erased, meaning that the crime-solving rate will be recalculated this year.

The Third Brigade spent the afternoon idly in the office. In the evening, Yao Weihua and Cai Ting went to the forensic room and the technical brigade and invited many people to dinner.

As soon as it was time to leave work, a large group of people would go to the restaurant next to the branch office, and they would specifically look for places that the leaders did not often go.

I don't know why, but in recent years, several high-end restaurants have opened up next door.

As the hosts, Yao Weihua and Cai Ting were very generous with their spending, serving up high-quality dishes.

The forensic room has several people, including Li Yuanquan, Wen Ling, and Jiang Yuxin.

The technical team includes Wei Ming and several trace evidence examiners.

As soon as they sat down at the table, Yao Weihua asked, "I heard that the First and Second Brigades have cases, didn't you go to the scene?"

Wei Ming shrugged: "No one's been killed, why should we go?"

"What case was that?"

"There was a gang fight, and several people were injured. They went to arrest people." Yao Weihua said "Oh," and then added, "No wonder Ma Hui is so listless. He doesn't count the case-solving rate unless someone dies."

Li Yuanquan took a sip of his drink and shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. These gangsters might have some kind of case on their hands."

“That’s true.” Yao Weihua raised his glass: “Forensic Doctor Li, Lao Wei, come on, let me toast you.”

"You're too kind. Captain Yao treated us to dinner, and you're the one who should be toasting us."

"Let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this."

Yao Weihua tilted his head back and downed the drink, then continued to pour drinks for them.

He understood that maintaining a good relationship with the technical team would reduce future troubles.

Needless to say, the forensic room is now well-equipped with Wen Ling, Yang's fiancée. Unless the couple has a falling out, she won't cause any trouble.

Seeing Yao Weihua being so attentive, Maozi leaned closer to Cai Ting and muttered, "What's wrong with Old Yao? Why is he being so eager to toast me?"

Feng Xiaocai nodded: "Something doesn't seem right."

Cai Ting narrowed her eyes and let out a cold snort.

At this moment, Wen Ling took a sip of wine and casually interjected, "Your Captain Yang is currently a two-bar three-star officer, and it's only a matter of time before he gets promoted. The Qincheng Detachment is currently short of a deputy detachment leader."

"If your Captain Yang gets promoted, won't the Third Battalion be without a battalion commander?"

"Oh--"

Maozi and Feng Xiaocai suddenly realized what was happening. Wu Daqing and Li Yang overheard this, but dared not utter a sound.

Wen Ling continued to fan the flames: "The ones who are qualified are Lao Yao and Sister Cai. Sister Cai, you have a kind heart, I will definitely support you!"

Cai Ting squinted, holding her wine glass, and stared intently at Yao Weihua. The old man was wandering around with his wine glass, trying to build rapport with people.

Cat quickly said, "Sister Cai, I support you too."

Feng Xiaocai also expressed her opinion: "Of course, count me in."

Wen Ling continued to stab her in the back: "Sister Cai, you go first, do you want to be the team leader? I'm thinking that at the latest next year, your team leader Yang will definitely be promoted. If you have this idea, I'll nominate you!"

Cai Ting knew that Wen Ling was stirring things up, and she secretly hoped so too, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and shook her head: "Forget it, I'm not qualified, let Lao Yao compete for it."

Wen Ling blinked: "You really don't want it? This is a rare opportunity."

"Hi……"

Cai Ting sighed, looked at her innocent-looking face, and then shouted to Yang Jinwen, who had just finished his call, "Captain Yang, forensic doctor Wen is trying to undermine our internal unity. She's a bad person."

Wen Ling chuckled twice.

Cai Ting smiled and said, "Never mind, I really didn't have that idea."

Wen Ling nodded, realizing that she was lying. What athlete doesn't want to win a championship?

After the meal, everyone went their separate ways.

Early the next morning.

After Yang Jinwen arrived at work, he heard that the Second Brigade had arrested a lot of people and was questioning the suspects in the interrogation room.

Yao Weihua glanced into the interrogation room, and after returning to his office, he muttered, "Captain Yang, this is a major gun-related case."

Cai Ting frowned: "Is it that serious?"

"Yes, the two groups fought over business at the sand pit, and they fired several shots at each other."

Yang Jinwen squinted: "No one was hurt?"

"No, not at all. Their skills are lacking. They just stand around the car on the street, blindly spouting nonsense. Shen Wenzhu has already found out the whereabouts of those homemade guns and is now leading people to look for them."

Where is it hidden?

"A gang leader surnamed Xu, after the shootout, rode his motorcycle back to his hometown. I heard his hometown is in Lan County. This guy hid his gun in his family's sweet potato field."

Cat exclaimed, "Damn, that's well hidden."

“Exactly.” Yao Weihua nodded: “That guy surnamed Xu definitely has a case on his hands. Shen Wenzhu’s Second Brigade will definitely be the first to take the lead this year.”

Cai Ting asked, "What's the situation with the First Brigade?"

"It's the same case, but they arrested a different group of people. Lu Ruixiang and his men took the people to the detention room of the Tayan District Police Station, where they are being interrogated."

Cat stretched and asked, "When will our Third Squad take on a case?"

Cai Ting rolled her eyes: "Don't jinx it. I finally had a few days of peace and quiet, and now I'm busy to death."

“Exactly, it’s better to stay in the office, drink tea, and read the newspaper,” Yao Weihua nodded.

At this moment, Yang Jinwen, who was sitting behind his desk, looked up with a puzzled expression: "Old Yao, where did you just say the gun was hidden?"

"The suspect's hometown sweet potato field."

"Shen Wenzhu and the others took people to identify the location?"

"No, the suspect is still being interrogated. The task of finding the gun was handed over to Sun Yue. I just saw him taking some men out."

"How many?"

"Three guns, all homemade, and some ammunition."

"Hidden in one place?"

"I heard they were hidden separately."

Yang Jinwen raised an eyebrow, shook his head, and smiled.

Seeing his expression, Yao Weihua was completely baffled and blinked before asking, "What's wrong, Captain Yang?"

Yang Jinwen rolled his eyes: "This is hard to say. I feel there's something fishy going on."
