Chapter 8: Group 3
At the gate of No. 88 Courtyard.
Qin Yu asked with a smile: "Lin Nianlei, why are you here?"
"I'm here to look at houses." Lin Nianlei stroked the ends of her hair and asked casually: "What about you?"
"What a coincidence," Qin Yu was stunned: "I'm here to look at houses too."
"Huh?" Lin Nianlei blinked her big watery eyes: "Don't you police officers have dormitories?"
"Hehe, there are too many people in the dormitory, I can't get used to it, so I want to rent a house."
"Oh."
Lin Nianlei nodded playfully, stretched out her hand and said: "Since it's such a coincidence, let's get to know each other, I don't know your name yet."
"My name is Qin Yu."
"Brother Qin Yu, thank you!" The reason why Lin Nianlei took the initiative to talk to him was actually to say this.
Qin Yu knew that Lin Nianlei thanked him because he saved her life in the alley, so he responded hypocritically: "It's my duty, I have no choice but to do it, you don't have to be polite..." Lin Nianlei stood up in awe: "Hehe, salute Sir!" "Let's go, let's go in and take a look." Qin Yu actually had no resistance to pretty girls, but because of limited conditions before, he couldn't flirt even if he wanted to. Now that he has settled down for the time being, he feels a little itchy in his heart, at least he wants to chat with pretty girls. "I've finished looking and have booked it. My colleague is going shopping, and we'll leave when she comes back." Lin Nianlei responded enthusiastically and generously: "You have to rent here, and we can meet again in the future. I'll treat you to a meal when I get my salary." "Haha, then I have to see if the house is suitable first." "I work at an online radio station, and I will definitely get in touch with the superintendent in the future. See you later." "Okay!" The two exchanged a few words, and Qin Yu walked into the No. 88 courtyard. Because before he had time to ask Lin Nianlei for her contact information, she left with a female colleague.
…
Inside the courtyard.
The old cat sat on a stone pier, waved his hand and shouted: "Qin Yu, here!"
"I'm coming." Qin Yu rushed over when he heard the voice.
"I just heard you talking at the door, who were you talking to?" Old Cat asked casually, "Is Qi Lin here too?"
"No, I just ran into the girl who was kidnapped that day and chatted with her casually."
"?" Old Cat was stunned for a long time: "You ran into that girl? Where is she?"
"Can you stop talking like you want to eat me? She's gone."
"What is she doing here?" Old Cat asked with great interest, "Who is she with? What did she tell you?"
"She works at an online radio station, not far from our police station, so she came here to look at the house and happened to run into me." Qin Yu replied impatiently, "Why are you asking so much?"
"Did she rent a house in this courtyard?"
"It seems she did."
"...!" Old Cat frowned and pondered for a while, suddenly looked at Qin Yu and asked, "Hey, do you need a roommate or something? I can cook."
"You're such a slut." Qin Yu was speechless.
"She really attracts me, brother." Lao Mao said naggingly: "Let's rent together? Let's live together, I tell you..."
"Let's talk about it later, let's look at the house first." Qin Yu waved his hand and urged: "Hurry up, I have to go back to the team later."
"Okay, let's look first."
After the voice fell, the two walked into the main hall of the main house.
The house that Lao Mao showed Qin Yu was about 30 square meters. There were some simple furniture in the house, and the walls were also painted. The overall environment looked very clean, but the price was a bit expensive. The female landlord asked for 300 yuan a month, and it had to be delivered every six months.
This price is indeed not low, but it is reasonable. Because No. 88 Courtyard is located in the most concentrated area of Songjiang Municipal Government agencies, close to TV stations, online broadcast stations, police stations, transportation departments and other departments, and this is why Qin Yu and Lin Nianlei can meet. The two units are not far away from each other. Maybe if they don't meet here, they will have the opportunity to meet in the future.
The current currency of the Ninth Special District is the Asian dollar, which was issued not long ago, and the world's common currency is the Alliance Currency issued by the United Savings Agency under the United Government. Of course, the European Union also has its own currency, the Euro, but let's not talk about it for now.
The exchange rate is about 1:6 Asian dollar to the Alliance Currency.
Since the Asian dollar was issued not long ago, its purchasing power is very high. If you roughly calculate, it may be about ten times the purchasing power of the previous RMB. So three hundred Asian dollars is equivalent to three thousand yuan before. Qin Yu's current salary is only five hundred a month. If he rents this house and deducts food and drink, there is basically no money left in a month.
This is also a portrayal of the life of the lower class people in the Ninth Special District. The cost of living is getting higher day by day, because various resources are withering, and there are relatively more people and fewer positions, so the income is very low. So why did Qi Lin rack his brains to become a second-level police officer? That's because with a higher title, the salary will also increase.
Seeing that Qin Yu liked the house, Lao Mao felt a little sorry for the monthly rent of 300 yuan, so he whispered: "In the police department, except for timid people like Qi Lin who only want to be a dog, most people don't think of living completely on salary. I don't think you are a good person, you must make some gray income in the future..."
"Do you have gray income?" Qin Yu asked with a squint.
"Yes, how could I not?"
"What gray income do you have?"
"I specialize in bullying pimps. If they don't pay, I will deal with them." Lao Mao responded shamelessly.
"...!" Qin Yu was speechless.
"Don't think about it, rent it, I can live here in the future." Lao Mao persuaded again.
Qin Yu pondered for a while, thinking that he might not be able to find a better and cheaper house for a while, and this courtyard was indeed very close to the police department, so he hesitated and replied: "Okay, rent it, rent it for half a year first."
...
After work in the afternoon.
In the office area of Group 3, which is less than 50 square meters, nine young men in uniforms stood astride.
Yuan Ke looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Just a few words. Although Qin Yu has just arrived, he actually killed the big bandit Song Xia and successfully solved a kidnapping case. So after careful study by the department and the team, Qin Yu was temporarily appointed as the leader of the third group of the first team."
Everyone looked at each other for a long time before they burst into warm applause.
"Qin Yu's personal third-class merit has been reported to the department, and his level will be raised in due course, so don't have any other ideas in your mind. I said before that as long as you are good, you will work in the first team and I will definitely promote you. This is the same for everyone." After Yuan Ke finished speaking, he reached out and pulled Qin Yu: "Let's get to know everyone."
Qin Yu stepped forward, wearing a neat light green police uniform, carrying two crutches on his shoulders, saluted and shouted: "My name is Qin Yu, please take care of me in the future."
In the crowd, Qi Lin looked at Qin Yu blankly, with unspeakable bitterness in his heart.
Just dozens of hours ago, he personally took this newcomer back to the team. But it's been less than two days, and he has become my leader. This feeling... is really uncomfortable.
"I reiterate again, everyone who wears this uniform must abide by the rules here. Although Qin Yu is new, if any of you bully the newcomer, talk nonsense, and affect the work, don't say that I will turn my face against you." Yuan Ke smiled and told everyone, then turned back to look at Qin Yu and said: "Okay, you guys chat."
"Okay." Qin Yu nodded: "Thank you, Captain Yuan."
"I said, you're welcome." Yuan Ke left gracefully.
In the office area, Qin Yu blinked at everyone, took out a box of Zhonghua cigarettes that he usually didn't want to smoke from his pocket, and said to everyone with a smile: "As for me, I was lucky enough to become the team leader, but my personal experience is definitely inferior to yours. So in the future, I have to rely on everyone's help on the case. Come on, relax and have a cigarette." Qin Yu said this as a completely polite opening remark. His original intention was to get closer to everyone, but he didn't expect that a relatively older young man standing on the far left of the crowd took the cigarette from Qin Yu's hand, tore open the wrapping paper skillfully and said: "Haha, brother, you have a lot of stuff, you can even get flue-cured tobacco?" Qin Yu was stunned and smiled and replied: "A good friend gave it to me." The person who talked to Qin Yu was called Zhu Wei, an old man in the third group, who had been working for four or five years. However, due to his rather dull personal style, he had never been able to go up to him. But if Qin Yu didn't come, the team might have nominated him as the team leader. After all, he has the qualifications and he usually gets along well with Yuan Ke.
Zhu Wei took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep puff, and then handed the cigarette box to others.
"Sit down, sit down." Qin Yu greeted.
"Pa!"
At this moment, Zhu Wei suddenly reached out and patted Qin Yu's arm, laughing and said, "It's still fun to play with this, and it feels good to smoke. Brother, you are open and honest, haha!"
There is nothing wrong with this, but Zhu Wei's pat happened to hit the scratch on Qin Yu's arm. He was facing off with Panasonic that day, and his arm was scratched by a stray bullet, and it hasn't healed completely yet.
"Hiss!"
Qin Yu was slapped in pain, frowned and took a step back, turned his head and looked at Zhu Wei.
"Brother Wei, the team leader is injured." Qi Lin had changed his name for Qin Yu at this time, and unconsciously called him team leader.
"Fuck, what's wrong?" Zhu Wei looked at Qin Yu and asked, "Where are you hurt?" Qin Yu glanced at Zhu Wei and smiled and said, "I was hit by a bullet when I grabbed Matsushita." "I was hit by a bullet? That's nothing. I'll go to the hospital and get some medicine." Zhu Wei grinned and said, "Don't get the injection. This thing won't kill you. Now you'll lose half a month's salary if you get an injection." Qin Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhu Wei when he heard this. He didn't say anything else, but just asked the others to sit down. After all ten people in the three groups sat down, they talked quietly. During the first conversation, Qin Yu got a general understanding of the situation of the three groups. This group and his staff are ten people, including three Thais, one African, and six Chinese. But the Ninth Special District is located in the former Northeast China, so Chinese is the official language, and they have lived here for a long time. They are fluent in Chinese and have some Northeast accents. After a brief communication, everyone began to study the information of the drug trafficking gang.
…
At night, Qin Yu had just checked two dilapidated three-group police cars downstairs, turned around and returned to the office, but found that there was no one in the room. Only Qi Lin and the African brother were left, fiddling with the clue book.
"Where are the people?" Qin Yu asked.
"Brother Zhu took them out to do something." Qi Lin replied.
Qin Yu frowned: "He said he was studying the case and had a meeting in the evening. Why did he suddenly take people out to do something? Is there any case?"
"No, he seems to be taking people to do some private things."
"… It's not time to get off work yet, and he took people away without even saying hello?" Qin Yu muttered expressionlessly.
Qi Lin was silent for a long time and did not answer.
Qin Yu frowned and sat on the chair, looking down at the landline phone, and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.
What does Zhu Wei mean?
Is he trying to play himself?
On the first day of officially leading the third group, Qin Yu's test came.
