The world of film and television begins from childhood

Ma Kui smiled and said, "Although you are my leader, I can barely be considered your elder in terms of seniority. You are the only one in your family now, and many things at home are inconvenient. You are not young anymore, it is time to find a woman to help you. When I was your age, I was already married."

Zhou Chen just smiled. He had been married many times and was much less obsessed with this aspect than young people of the same age. He preferred to choose the one he wanted rather than the one introduced by others. To be more precise, he preferred to take the initiative.

After bringing this topic to a halt, Wang Xin still hadn't shown up at lunch time. This unreliable behavior made Ma Kui angry, and even Zhou Chen felt that he deserved a good beating.

The relationship between masters and apprentices these days is very different from that of decades later, especially in the profession of police, where even more emphasis is placed on the master-apprentice relationship.

If Wang Xin lived far away and did not come to pay New Year's greetings, it could be barely understandable, but the problem was that Wang Xin lived in the same compound as Ma Kui, just a few steps away from him, but he did not come to pay New Year's greetings the whole morning. To put it bluntly, this behavior was simply disrespectful to teachers and elders, and he deliberately did not come to pay New Year's greetings. No wonder Ma Kui was so dissatisfied.

Ma Kui has always been unkind to Wang Xin on the surface, but in fact he cares about Wang Xin very much and truly regards him as his own apprentice. During this crucial Spring Festival, Wang Xin did not come to wish him a happy new year, and one can imagine his disappointment.

Ma Kui had something on his mind, so he drank very heavily with Zhou Chen, one glass after another, until he passed out. With the help of Wang Sufang and Ma Yan, he went back to the room and fell asleep.

Zhou Chen was naturally fine, but he also felt sorry for the master and disciple Ma Kui and Wang Xin. The grudges between this master and disciple, and these two families, were clear and could never be separated.

Wang Xin slept until the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year. He woke up in a daze after being scolded by Ma Yan, and then went to the Ma family in a hurry. Unfortunately, he was scolded by Old Ma and was kicked out of the Ma family in great depression.

…………

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several months have passed. Summer has gone and autumn has come, and Zhou Chen continues to work as a flight attendant as usual.

So far, he has worked as a train police officer for three years. As long as he continues to work for another two years, he will be able to complete the side quests issued by the system.

After a few months, the relationship between Ma Kui and Wang Xin was still up and down. They often quarreled, and Wang Xin was often scolded by Ma Kui.

But Wang Xin is a tough guy, or maybe he is used to being scolded. No matter what Ma Kui says to him now, he doesn't take it seriously at all. He is very patient, but his words are still as dishonest as ever.

Zhou Chen came to the sink carrying a basin of clothes. Coincidentally, Mrs. Wu was also washing clothes by the sink. When she saw Zhou Chen coming, she was immediately happy.

"Hey, Xiao Zhou, come and do the laundry."

"Well, Mrs. Wu is busy."

Mrs. Wu, who was still washing clothes, stopped and turned to Zhou Chen and said, "Xiao Zhou, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but look at our compound, there are only a few men who wash clothes. You should get married. With a wife, you don't have to worry about the things inside and outside the house. You just need to go to work and make money."

"Mrs. Wu, I find that no matter what I do, you can always bring it up with finding a wife."

"Sister-in-law, this is because I care about you. Look at you, you are handsome, you have a good job, and you are a conductor. You have a bright future. What you need most now is a good wife. Besides, you are not young anymore. If you don't find a wife now, it will be difficult to find one in a few years."

Mrs. Wu looked as if she had put in a lot of effort for you. "One of Old Wu's relatives has a very pretty daughter. Although she doesn't have a formal job, she is reliable and hardworking. If you two could be together, you would definitely enjoy a good life."

Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said softly: "I'll think about this matter. Let me wash the clothes first."

"Why would you consider that? Just say the word and the child will come to meet you tomorrow. She's only eighteen years old, very pretty, very fair-skinned, and has a very good personality..."

Mrs. Wu had a lot of "special" on her face, which made Zhou Chen's ears buzz, but he had done everything before. Under Mrs. Wu's Tang Monk-like muttering, he washed the clothes calmly.

"..."

Suddenly, Niu Dali came over with Yao Yuling on his back. Seeing Mrs. Wu and Zhou Chen, he shouted, "Hey, Mrs. Wu, are you doing the laundry? Oh my god, isn't this Zhou Chen? Are you doing the laundry yourself?"

Zhou Chen glanced at him lightly: "I won't wash it myself, can you wash it for me?"

"Ha ha……"

Mrs. Wu turned around and asked in surprise, "What happened to Xiaoyao?"

Niu Dali was waiting to ask this question, and immediately answered: "She's stuck."

Mrs. Wu asked with concern, "Where did you put it?"

"On the avenue."

"What's the problem?"

"I fell flat on my face and got my butt stuck..."

"........."

Listening to Niu Dali bragging about everything to Mrs. Wu, Yao Yuling lowered her head and wished she could teleport back to the house. She really couldn't afford to lose face in front of him.

"........."

Niu Dali walked very slowly, chatting with everyone he met and talking all the way. He wanted everyone to see him carrying Yao Yuling on his back, and he also wanted everyone to know that Yao Yuling was stuck.

Mrs. Wu looked at their backs and said to Zhou Chen, "Look, look, Xiao Zhou, don't I have to tell you, this Da Li, there is no hope."

Zhou Chen rubbed his clothes and said with a smile: "Sister Wu can see this?"

Mrs. Wu said with a smug look on her face: "Of course, Dali is good, but Xiao Yao is a very picky person. She doesn't like Dali."

"maybe."

"Xiao Zhou, I'm not saying anything, but among the young people in our compound, you have the best conditions, you..."

"Mrs. Wu, I'm done washing up. The soup is cooking in the house. I'll go back first."

Mrs. Wu looked up at the sky and muttered, "What kind of soup are we going to make when the sun is so hot?"

Zhou Chen returned to his room and took a look at the chicken soup stewing on the stove. It was still early, so he really didn't lie to Mrs. Wu. He really did stew chicken soup.

Nowadays, it is not easy to have a good meal. Fortunately, I have improved my cooking skills in the past few worlds, so I can cook with ease.

He came to Ma Kui's house and handed the written prescription to Ma Kui.

"Uncle Ma, I changed my aunt's prescription and added a few herbs. I will follow this prescription to make the medicine from now on."

Ma Kui took it solemnly and asked nervously, "Why do you want to change the medicine? Is there something wrong with Sufang's body?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Not really. It's just the right prescription for acupuncture. The human body is always changing, especially the patient's body. It's normal to change a few medicines at the right time. Auntie's body is well maintained. As long as she takes good care of herself in the future, she should be fine for a few more years. Of course, the most important thing is to maintain your mentality."

Ma Kui breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she was fine, his wife’s illness had always been his biggest concern.

In the past two years, in order to keep Wang Sufang nourished and take her medicine on time, he and Ma Yan had basically no money left over, so the living burden of their family was actually quite heavy.

Fortunately, the cost of raising a child is not high now, otherwise, with a money-eating beast like Ma Jian, their family might not be able to afford it.

Therefore, Ma Kui has always been grateful to Zhou Chen, because Zhou Chen helped Wang Sufang treat her illness without asking for a penny, and they even went to buy the medicine themselves.

If it weren't for Zhou Chen, their family really couldn't afford the cost of Wang Sufang's hospital treatment. He didn't say anything, but their family regarded Zhou Chen as a benefactor.

There was even one time when Ma Kui and Zhou Chen drank too much and insisted on matchmaking Zhou Chen and Ma Yan, which scared Zhou Chen and Ma Yan at the time. For a long time afterwards, Ma Yan felt embarrassed whenever she saw Zhou Chen.

Winter passed and spring came, another year passed, and it was the year 81, which was also Zhou Chen's fourth year in the passenger police team.

One day, Zhou Chen was called to the office by Captain Hu.

When he arrived at the office, Zhou Chen met Captain Hu and another acquaintance.

"Captain Hu, Captain Jiang."

"Xiao Zhou is here, come quickly."

Captain Hu greeted Zhou Chen very warmly, then pointed to Captain Jiang next to him and said, "Captain Jiang came here specifically to see you today."

Zhou Chen looked at Captain Jiang: "Captain Jiang."

Captain Jiang said with a smile: "I came to see you because I want to transfer you to our Criminal Investigation Team. What do you think? Are you willing?"

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Captain Jiang, I have no intention of transferring from the passenger police team for the time being."

Captain Jiang said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with you, young man? You are young, capable, smart, and skilled. The Criminal Investigation Team is the most suitable for you. What future do you have in the Passenger Police Team?"

"Cough cough."

Captain Hu couldn't help but cough twice, and retorted in dissatisfaction: "Why is the Railway Police Team hopeless? Xiao Zhou is now the head of the Railway Police Team, and he has solved many cases in recent years. In a few years, he might be able to take my position. Why is there no future for you Criminal Investigation Team?"

Captain Jiang rolled his eyes and said, "You know what I mean. This is not the first time I have invited him, but this guy refuses every time. Sometimes I really wonder if you don't want to let him go on purpose."

The two captains obviously had a good relationship and started to tease each other.

"Okay, Lao Jiang, stop talking about this. Xiao Zhou is very smart. Tell me your purpose quickly."

Captain Jiang nodded, and then said to Zhou Chen with a serious face: "Zhou Chen, I came to the railway police team this time because of a very important matter. Some time ago, a group of drug dealers transported drugs through the railway line..."

After listening to Captain Jiang's narration, Zhou Chen knew what was going on. It turned out to be a very important drug trafficking case. The criminal investigation team had limited manpower and wanted to transfer people from the railway police team. Because the railway police team was on duty on the train all year round, they definitely had a deeper understanding of the railway routes than they did. With professional help, it would be easier to solve the case.

Chapter 1364: Transferred to Criminal Police, New Team Members

"I came to you because I saw your ability to solve cases. I know that you are an expert in solving cases in the passenger police team."

Captain Jiang stared at Zhou Chen with a serious expression. As the captain of a criminal investigation brigade, if he had not seen Zhou Chen's abilities, how could he have invited Zhou Chen, a young man of his status, several times? Even though he was rejected several times, he did not give up the idea.

It’s not that there are no experts in solving cases in the criminal investigation team, but the criminal investigation team is not full of talented people.

The main reason is that Zhou Chen is young, only 23 years old, and he can solve so many cases as a flight attendant, including some major cases that shocked the higher-ups. He really thinks it is so easy to get the second-class merit award. If you don't have the ability, don't even think about it.

Youth is one of Zhou Chen's greatest assets, and Zhou Chen is also a well-known model worker in the passenger police team. In the four years since he started working, he has rarely taken leave and has always been fully present, which is also very important for the criminal investigation team, which requires hard work.

As for abilities, quick wits and so on, there's no need to say more, he already knew a lot about them.

Of course he wanted to bring such a piece of unpolished jade to his side. He believed that Zhou Chen could help him both now and in the future.

"This case is a major one that the province takes very seriously. If you can solve it, there is a great chance that you will be rewarded with merit. You should think about it carefully..."

What he said sounded nice, but he didn't understand Zhou Chen's situation. With only one year left to complete the task, there was no way Zhou Chen would give up halfway at this time.

"Captain Jiang, I really appreciate your appreciation. You think too highly of me. I'm not as good as you say I am, and I don't have any intention of leaving the flight attendant team for the time being."

Hearing this, Captain Hu immediately smiled. He really didn't want to lose General Zhou Chen.

But Captain Jiang showed a look of surprise and asked, "Xiao Zhou, you mean you don't want to leave for now, but you can't say for sure about the future, right?"

Zhou Chen replied ambiguously: "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

But these words had a different meaning in the ears of the two captains. Captain Hu opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.

In fact, he knew in his heart that Zhou Chen's career as a passenger policeman in the passenger police team was far less promising than that of a criminal policeman. Moreover, he could see that Zhou Chen was definitely a good leader. He felt that Zhou Chen's ability to solve cases and take action was very strong, but his leadership and management abilities were even better. Among all the passenger police team teams, the reports and documents made by Zhou Chen were always the best.

Zhou Chen was unwilling to go. Although Captain Jiang was a little disappointed, he also respected Zhou Chen's choice. After all, he was not Zhou Chen's direct superior and had no right to transfer Zhou Chen directly.

However, in order to better solve the case, he still selected a person from the passenger police team, that is, Ma Kui, whom he knew.

Ma Kui was a criminal policeman before he went to prison. He had rich experience in solving cases and knew a lot about drug offenders, so he directly decided on Ma Kui, and Captain Hu had no objection.

Ma Kui was naturally very happy to do so. He used to be a criminal policeman, so naturally he wanted to return to his old job. Moreover, the salary of a criminal policeman was higher than that of a flight attendant. If he could solve the case, he would get a bonus. Given their family's current situation, being a criminal policeman was naturally a better choice.

It’s just that the work of criminal police is much harder than that of train police. Train police may not be able to return for several days after a trip, but they can have a few days of rest after each trip, so it is actually quite easy.

But it is different for criminal police. Their life is very easy when there are no cases. But once there is a case, they will be busy day and night. It is common for them not to be able to go home for ten days or half a month. If they encounter a major case, their lives may be in danger.

Even with these dangers, Ma Kui did not hesitate, and he also asked Team Jiang for help, that is, his apprentice Wang Xin, which was also approved by Team Hu and Team Jiang.

On the way back, Zhou Chen congratulated Ma Kui and Wang Xin with a smile.

"Uncle Ma, Wang Xin, congratulations, you will be railway police officers in the future."

Wang Xin's face was full of excitement and pride. He held his head high and said, "Haha, I will be a criminal police officer in the future. Zhou Chen, am I handsome?"

"What a cool ass."

Ma Kui slapped him on the head and snorted, "It's just a temporary transfer now. If you can't do well, you have to come back and continue to work as a train police officer, so don't let me down, kid."

Wang Xin patted his chest and assured: "Master, don't worry, I may not be good enough to be a flight attendant, but I am definitely a good criminal policeman. You saw it with your own eyes that I won the first place in the last shooting competition."

"Stop bragging. I really don't know how you can brag in front of Zhou Chen. You only got first place because Zhou Chen didn't want to participate. Otherwise, it would have been your turn."

"Master, I don't agree with what you said. Although Zhou Chen has also won first place in the shooting competition, it doesn't mean that I am worse than him. Who is better can only be known after a competition."

Wang Xin looked at Zhou Chen with a fighting spirit. If he had a gun with him, he would probably drag Zhou Chen to compete with him.

"Okay, stop embarrassing yourself."

Ma Kui got angry when he saw Wang Xin's arrogant look.

"What do you know? Captain Jiang came here this time to transfer Zhou Chen, but he refused to go, so Captain Jiang came to me. Look how proud you are."

"what?"

Wang Xin was stunned, staring at Zhou Chen and asked, "Is what Uncle Ma said true?"

Zhou Chen said, "That's not the case. Captain Jiang really came to see Uncle Ma. He just asked me a question. When you go to the Criminal Police Team with Uncle Ma, you must behave well and don't embarrass our Passenger Police Team."

Wang Xin’s main point was that he had a good attitude, and Zhou Chen immediately changed the subject.

"Of course. My master and I will definitely solve this big case. Just wait for the good news."

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

Ma Kui and Wang Xin left the passenger police team, and Captain Hu transferred three more people to Zhou Chen's group.

That’s right, there are three of them. One of them is an experienced conductor transferred from another group, Chu Jing. The other two are newcomers who were assigned here right after graduating from the police academy and have been in the conductor team for less than a month.

Zhou Chen was also speechless about this. Two combat-capable people left. Although three people came, there were two newcomers, which made him feel like he was working for Captain Hu and bringing in newcomers.
