Chapter 1: Newly arrived
Northern Asia, the 9th Special District, Songjiang City.
Qin Yu stood in the office building of the Black Street Police Department, which is affiliated to the Municipal Police Department, and smiled at a middle-aged man and asked, "Is it ok?"
"Well, come in." The middle-aged man waved his hand, turned around and walked into the office on the left.
Qin Yu tidied his clothes after hearing the voice, and followed the middle-aged man in.
The office is not small, about 60 square meters, but there is only one person sitting behind the desk in the room. He looks about 40 years old, with a mustache, obvious fat on his face, and looks very fierce.
The middle-aged man walked to the desk, put two stacks of information in front of the mustache man, and said softly, "Director, this is the last one."
"Have you had a physical examination?" The mustache man asked while picking up the information.
"Yes."
"Well, you can go out."
"Okay."
After the two exchanged a few words briefly, the middle-aged man left, and Qin Yu took two steps forward, stood in front of the desk without saying anything, and only watched the mustache check his information.
Inside the desk, the man with a mustache frowned and stared at the information, and read it softly: "Qin Yu, 22 years old, 75 kilograms, 1.82 meters tall... Born before the Christian era, his ancestral home is J City, H Province. Haha, this is not far from the current Songjiang. Before coming to work, he lived in the planning area, his parents were missing (suspected dead), and he had no relatives... Hmm? Why is your resume blank?"
"I don't have a resume." Qin Yu smiled and replied: "It's hard to survive in the planning area. You do whatever you can get. How can you have a resume?"
"Haha." The man with a mustache smiled: "You wrote two random things before you came here. It doesn't look good without a resume recording system."
"Okay, I'll fill some in later." Qin Yu didn't argue and immediately agreed.
The man with the mustache stared at the information and asked again: "No resume, that is to say, no military service, then do you have any experience in using firearms?"
Qin Yu shook his head without hesitation: "No."
"Have you ever been punished by criminal law?"
"No."
The man with the mustache pondered for a long time, slowly put down the information in his hand, looked up at Qin Yu and said with a smile: "In the unplanned area, where there are no laws and no constraints, you can get to the point of paying money to buy the work and residence permit of the Ninth Special District. You kid... have some experience."
"No way," Qin Yu grinned: "It's just that I'm lucky and met some noble people."
The man with the mustache picked up the water cup, looked up at Qin Yu, and nodded symbolically: "Well, the young man looks quite energetic."
Qin Yu smiled and didn't answer.
The man with the mustache put down his teacup, looked at Qin Yu, and said concisely: "The situation in the Ninth Special District is quite special. Although it belongs to the administrative sequence of the United Government, it has a high degree of autonomy, which is fundamentally different from the eight districts. There are many ethnic groups here. In addition to us yellow people, there are also many blacks and whites... The social environment is very complicated, and some areas do have chaotic phenomena that we want to change but cannot change for the time being. As a police officer, you have to adapt to the environment here from all aspects."
"Understood." Qin Yu nodded with a serious expression.
"Also, I don't care what experience you have had, but when you eat next to me, you have to coil up like a dragon and lie down like a tiger. If you make trouble and look for trouble, I will deal with you immediately." The man with the mustache put his hands in his hands and reminded him calmly.
"Li Si, I'm here to help you reduce trouble." Qin Yu smiled.
"Haha." The mustache smiled, tapped a few times on the touch screen phone on the desk, lowered his head and pointed his mouth at the microphone.
A few seconds later, a male voice sounded: "Hello, Chief, this is the First Criminal Investigation Team."
"Where is Yuan Ke?" Chief Li asked.
"...Captain Yuan is not here, he just left."
"I'll add a new person for you, come and take him away."
"Okay, okay."
"That's it." Director Li stroked his mustache and reached out to press the hang-up button: "Go wait at the door, someone will come to take you away in a while, learn the specific rules when you get to the team."
"Okay, Director Li." Qin Yu nodded, immediately took two steps forward, lowered his head and took out a small black bag from his pocket and put it on the table: "Xiao Qi specifically told me that the special zone police system is the most difficult job to get into now. Without your help, I don't know how long it will take me to get a job, so don't forget the etiquette."
Director Li picked up the bag and opened it. When he saw a diamond about the size of a soybean inside, he was slightly startled: "You have a capable person in the planning area who can get this thing? Oh, I haven't seen it for many years."
Qin Yu smiled and didn't answer.
Director Li threw the small bag into the drawer and locked it. He looked up and pointed at Qin Yu and said, "You look quite good even though you are not very old."
"That's all I have." Qin Yu scratched his head pretending to be honest. Seeing that Director Li did not leave for lunch immediately, he chatted with him for a few more words.
A few minutes later, a fat young man of the same age as Qin Yu stepped into the room, with his back straight, saluted and shouted, "Report to Director Li, Qi Lin, a third-level police officer in the first team, has been ordered to bring a new colleague back to the team."
Director Li patted Qin Yu's arm and said, "Do a good job, and try to let me see you in the end-of-year selection."
"Hey." Qin Yu nodded.
"Okay, go to the team." Director Li pointed at Qi Lin and said, "Tell Yuan Ke to take care of this guy."
A diamond, Qin Yu chatted with Director Li for less than ten minutes more, and got one more word of care, but it seemed that was all.
...In the corridor.
The plump Qi Lin walked on the left side of Qin Yu and asked in a talkative manner: "Where are you from, brother?"
"The planning area."
"From that hellhole?" Qi Lin was startled: "That's not easy."
"A little luck." Qin Yu smiled.
Qi Lin nodded and didn't continue to ask questions. Because in this year, food and drink are scarce, and it's hard to live. Everyone may have some unknown secrets.
As the two walked quickly, Qi Lin introduced the basic situation of the Police Department. This functional department is mainly responsible for the criminal work of a region, including public security, case detection, etc., but does not include a series of administrative work such as household registration, denaturalization, issuance of residence permits, and handling of entry and exit procedures. To put it bluntly, it is a bit like the district bureau before the era, but the functions are not subdivided too completely. For example, the department where Qin Yu is located not only has to catch major criminal cases, but also manage basic public security.
It took more than an hour for Qi Lin to lead Qin Yu to walk through the five floors of the Police Department and introduce him to the functional places such as the gun warehouse, interrogation room, public case handling area, training room, and canteen. During the two people's contact, Qin Yu found that Qi Lin was a very smooth person, and he could talk to people basically wherever he went. And he was very patient. As long as Qin Yu asked about the place, he would have a detailed answer. At least on the surface, he was warm-hearted.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Lin led Qin Yu to the communications department and asked him to buy an in-house mobile phone. But the latter glanced at the counter and found that there was only one model of the mobile phone, and it looked old and the price was very unfriendly.
"What brand is this? I have never heard of it?" Qin Yu took the mobile phone and glanced at it, turned his head and looked at Qi Lin and said: "Forget it, wait until I settle down and go out to buy it alone. It's too expensive here."
Qi Lin smiled when he heard it, turned his head and glanced at the guy sitting at the counter, and then whispered in Qin Yu's ear: "You'd better buy it here."
"Why?" Qin Yu was puzzled.
"No reason, the communications department belongs to the police, but the counter selling mobile phones is privately contracted. The boss is a friend of Captain Yuan, so new members of the team buy mobile phones here." Qi Lin blinked and said, "We'd better not make special arrangements when we first arrive. Although this phone is not very durable, it does not need to be connected to the communications department system. After your information is entered into the big system, just enter your name and police number, and you can use it." Qin Yu has lived in the government-free unplanned area for several years. How could he not understand the most basic social etiquette? So when Qi Lin pointed him out, he did not insist and said to the teller with pain: "Then help me get one, thank you." Why is it painful? Because Qin Yu is an extremely money-loving and stingy person. He wants to buy a pair of socks and even asks for a warranty manual. And it is precisely because of his character that he can take out money to support himself at a critical moment and buy a job in the Ninth Special District. After taking the phone, Qi Lin took him out of the police department and went to a daily necessities store across the street. It was August, and although the sky was clear, it was still as cold as winter, with scattered snow on the streets.
"Does it snow in the Special Zone?" Qin Yu asked.
"It's been snowing for three years." Qi Lin replied.
"D*mn it, it's killing people." Qin Yu shook his head and sighed.
The two chatted and walked into a large daily necessities store.
Qin Yu glanced around after entering the door, patted the small mud spots on his legs with his hands, and said with a smile: "This store is quite big, and there are not many people."
"Just take a look and buy whatever you need." Qi Lin took a puff of the electronic cigarette.
Qin Yu walked around the shelves after hearing the sound, but the more he walked, the tighter his brows frowned. He walked back and forth for more than ten minutes, but didn't take any goods.
"Why don't you take anything?" Qi Lin asked as he walked over from the counter.
Qin Yu frowned at Qi Lin, blinked and asked: "Brother, are you a shill?"
"What's wrong?"
"The goods in this room are at least 30% more expensive than those outside, and many of them are fakes... I pinched the quilt, and it seemed to be stuffed with steel wool, which pricked my hand, brother!"
"...The goods are not very good, but our new police officers buy them here."
"Why?" Qin Yu was puzzled.
"Because this store is opened by Captain Yuan's cousin," Qi Lin whispered, "It is considered a designated purchasing unit by the police chief." Qin Yu's expression collapsed when he heard this, and after a long pause he replied, "Then I want to ask, does Director Li also buy things here?" "You are just arguing. Even if Director Li dares to buy, Captain Yuan dare not sell." Qi Lin rolled his eyes and explained, "The people who come to buy are all newcomers. You buy for two months, and there is no need to buy here in the future." "I don't buy for a day, isn't this treating people like fools?" Qin Yu said without hesitation, "Come on, take me to another store." Qi Lin was stunned: "I have spent all the extra money, do you still need this little bit? Listen to me, buy everything here, don't make special arrangements." "I buy a phone, which gives the captain enough face." Qin Yu walked out. "Hey, Xiaoyu, listen to me..."
"Do you get a commission?"
"Listen to me, that's right, buy some..."
"Buy a d*ck, the toilet paper is made like a blade, I have to use a band-aid after wiping it once." Qin Yu didn't discuss with the other party at all, just walked out.
...
Four thirty in the afternoon.
At the door of the second dormitory of the first criminal investigation team in the dormitory building of the Police Department, Qi Lin smiled and shouted to several people in the room: "Third brother, the newcomer is back."
In the room, six or seven guys were playing cards around a round table. The leader heard Qi Lin's voice and looked up at Qin Yu: "Come in."
The two entered the room after hearing the voice. Qin Yu glanced at the indoor environment and saw that the room was less than 30 square meters in total, but there were six bunk beds, a total of 12 beds, two public iron cabinets, and many personal items. In short, it looked very crowded, but it was still clean on the surface, at least there was no special smell.
"Qin Yu, let me introduce you. This is the third brother, the leader of our action group." Qi Lin pointed out the other party's identity in a tactful way: "The third brother has been working for three years. He has outstanding business capabilities and is the right-hand man of Captain Yuan. Third brother, this is Qin Yu, our new brother."
"Hello, third brother." Qin Yu smiled and stretched out his palm to the other party.
The third brother had a short flat head. He turned his head to glance at Qin Yu. He held a card in his hand and only nodded to him symbolically and asked: "Where are you from?"
"The planning area." Qin Yu answered truthfully.
The third brother was stunned: "Unplanned area? What do you do there?"
"Help the boss deliver some goods, mainly daily necessities."
"Driving on the road? That's not easy."
"No, no, I'm responsible for driving."
"Ah, the driver." The third brother's surprised eyes have disappeared, and he asked lazily: "What relationship did you rely on to enter the Police Department?"
"A friend said hello, and I entered the Police Department at my own expense."
"Haha, did you buy it?" The third brother now just lowered his head and stared at the cards in his hand and said: "Okay, you wait for Captain Yuan to come back and arrange it. Qi Lin, let him live in the bed by the window."
"Okay."
Qi Lin heard the voice and said to Qin Yu: "You live in the bed inside."
"Okay." Qin Yu carried the luggage he had just deposited in the guard room and the newly bought daily necessities, and walked in.
"Hey, wait a minute." The third brother turned his head and saw what Qin Yu was holding, and shouted immediately.
"What's wrong, third brother?" Qin Yu turned around.
The third brother glanced at the convenient bag in Qin Yu's hand: "Where did you buy the daily necessities?"
"I forgot the name, it's a store next to the unit." Qin Yu replied casually.
The third brother was playing cards, and asked Qi Lin with an expressionless face: "Qi Lin, where did we buy things? Didn't you tell the newcomer?"
Qi Lin was embarrassed when he heard this. Because he had to say in front of Qin Yu that this kid didn't listen to advice, which made him look a bit unfair. But if he didn't say it, he would be blamed for no reason.
After a short silence of two seconds, Qin Yu immediately said: "Qi Lin told me to buy daily necessities across the street. But the things there are a bit expensive, and I don't have much money, so I went to buy them next door."
"Two for two." The third brother was playing cards, and after leaving Qin Yu alone for several seconds, he replied: "Ah, it's okay, you make the bed."
"Hey." Qin Yu nodded and walked to the inside, lowered his head to open the package and began to make the bed.
Qi Lin stood by, helping to tidy up diligently, and whispered: "When new people enter the dormitory, they all sleep on the upper bunk by the window, because it leaks here, it's quite cold at night... Later, you cover the quilt with your coat, hold on for a while, and wait for the new people to come in."
"That's nothing, I've lived outdoors for several months." Qin Yu didn't take it seriously at all, lowered his head to open his luggage bag, and pulled out two boxes of Zhonghua cigarettes from it and stuffed them into Qi Lin's hands.
"What are you doing?" Qi Lin was stunned when he received the cigarettes.
"I just saw you smoking an e-cigarette." Qin Yu smiled and replied: "I don't have anything good on me, so I'll give you two boxes of this. I've been busy with me all day, thank you."
In this era where eating is a problem, flue-cured cigarettes are a very luxurious thing. What's more, this is an old brand before the era. Most smokers have never seen it before, let alone smoke it.
Qi Lin took two boxes of cigarettes and said in astonishment: "How can you get this stuff in the planning area? Zhonghua, how many years have I not seen this stuff?"
"Poor places also have their advantages." Qin Yu grinned: "I'll clean it up myself, you go and do it, I'll treat you to something later."
"Thank you, brother!" Qi Lin didn't hesitate, lowered his head and put the cigarettes in his pocket.
Just as the two were talking, the third brother suddenly turned around, tilted his neck to look at Qin Yu and said with a smile: "Hey, you still have hard stuff in your hand?"
Qin Yu didn't expect that this person had been observing him, so he was stunned for a moment and replied: "My friend gave it to me."
"Good stuff, I haven't seen it before." The third brother sneered.
Qi Lin was stunned for a short while, and immediately took out two boxes of Zhonghua, walked over with a hunched back and said: "We are all brothers, let's smoke together. Come, come, come, one for each person."
Qin Yu gave the cigarettes to Qi Lin because the other party accompanied him for a small day, and he was a little embarrassed, so he took two boxes of cigarettes to express his gratitude, but he didn't think he owed this person in the room anything. But now the third brother saw it, and he made it clear. Considering that he would have to live in this house in the future, he didn't want to make things too awkward, so he thought about it and lowered his head to take out a box of Zhonghua from his bag.
At the card table, the third brother stretched out his hand to push Qi Lin's arm away: "This cigarette is too good, I haven't smoked it before, I'm not used to it."
Qi Lin was stunned when he heard it.
Qin Yu heard this, which was a bit thorny. He frowned and stuffed the cigarette back into his bag and continued to pack his things.
The third brother threw down the cards, with a smile on his face, and turned around and said to Qin Yu: "We have a rule here. When new people come, they will be on duty for three consecutive days. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, you will be on duty on the road, is that okay?"
Qin Yu looked up at Qi Lin, who was a little evasive, and then he immediately understood something: "Third brother, how do you arrange the three-day shift?"
"It's just working around the clock, in the team during the day and on the street at night." The third brother took a sip of the water cup.
"There is overtime pay, haha?" Qin Yu asked again.
"It's the rules of our own team, how can there be any overtime pay?" The third brother replied without even raising his head.
"Xiao Yu, just queue for three days. I'll find someone to take a shift and accompany you for two days." Qi Lin hesitated for a long time, looked down at the Zhonghua cigarette in his hand, and finally interrupted.
"You are quite righteous, Xiao Qi." The young man sitting on the left of the third brother laughed and teased.
"We are all brothers, so help each other." Qi Lin smiled.
The third brother put down the water cup, pointed at Qi Lin and said, "After he gets the uniform, you tell him how to schedule."
"Okay." Qi Lin nodded.
"Third brother, I can't schedule this shift." Qin Yu suddenly said.
As soon as the voice fell, the room fell silent.
The third brother licked his lips, looked at Qin Yu with a crooked neck and asked, "Newcomers can schedule, why can't you?"
"My heart is not good, I can't stand staying up late."
"It's okay, I'll prepare some quick-acting heart-saving pills for you, and you will schedule for three days."
"I said, I can't schedule." Qin Yu replied with a smile.
"F*ck!" The third brother's face darkened after being scolded by the newcomer twice in a row: "Who do you have two more fathers than? They can all be in line, why can't you be in line?"
"Third brother, third brother, we are all brothers, what do you think you are doing? Talk nicely... hehe." Qi Lin stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Bang!"
The third brother punched Qi Lin on the shoulder: "You are a d*ck, do you have the right to speak? Who is your brother?"
Qi Lin held the cigarette in his hand, lowered his head, stood there, continued to talk, turned around and left.
The third brother led the four people to step forward, looked at Qin Yu with a crooked neck and asked: "Next week is your shift, when you have a heart attack, it will be over, do you understand?"
