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.

The news that Ma Kui and Wang Xin were transferred to the criminal police team soon spread throughout the compound, but they left Ningyang by train the next day and headed for Harbin.

Before leaving, Ma Kui came to see Zhou Chen specially, because he didn't know how long it would take him to come back, and he was worried about his wife, so he asked Zhou Chen to help take care of her illness before leaving.

Zhou Chen naturally agreed. After all, his schedule was relatively fixed now, so he had enough time to give Wang Sufang acupuncture treatment.

After becoming criminal police, Ma Kui and Wang Xin were indeed very busy and had not returned for several days.

Zhou Chen has been quite busy these days. He asked the two old men, Yu Xingguo and Chu Jing, to each take on a newcomer, and he was responsible for mediating and filling in the gaps at any time.

The three newcomers are not as motivated as Ma Kui and Wang Xin, and are far inferior to Yu Xingguo, so Zhou Chen, the captain of the flight attendant, naturally has to set an example and train them well.

Especially the old conductor Chu Jing, who was nearly ten years older than Zhou Chen. He was not a blessing to the young conductor Zhou Chen. He was not diligent at work and was always procrastinating. After being taught a lesson by Zhou Chen twice, he became more restrained, but he was still not as good as Ma Kui and Wang Xin.

The two newcomers don't have so many tricks, but they have no experience, and it will be impossible to train them well without three or two months.

"Zhou Chen, are you going out?"

"Well, go out and buy some meat."

When walking out of the gate of the compound, Zhou Chen saw Ma Yan playing with Ma Jian, and chatted with her for a few words.

"Do you know what case my dad and Wang Xin are working on? Why haven't they sent any news yet?"

"How would I know? They have all been transferred to the Criminal Police Team. I am just a flight attendant. Two different departments."

After chatting for a few sentences, Zhou Chen was ready to leave, but suddenly, he looked behind the house on the right in front of him. Just now, he felt someone staring at him, not the kind of quick glance, but a gaze that lasted for a long time.

He greeted Ma Yan calmly and walked forward.

A few minutes later, Zhou Chen walked around and came to the back of the house he had just looked at, and sure enough, he saw a sneaky figure.

Hou Sanjin was standing behind the wall, secretly watching Ma Jian playing in the distance, his eyes full of excitement and expectation.

Ever since he learned that his son who was abandoned on the train was adopted by Ma Kui, he would sneak here every once in a while to see his son from afar.

He didn't dare to acknowledge his son because he was very clear about his current situation. His son would have a bleak future if he followed him, and he couldn't support a child.

Now his son is adopted by Ma Kui, a policeman. He has met Ma Kui several times and knows what kind of person Ma Kui is, so he is very relieved that his son will be very happy in the Ma family, happier than with him, his biological father.

The fact was just as he thought. His son had been in the Ma family for more than two years and was raised very well. He had a father, a mother, and a sister. The neighbors were also very kind...

Seeing his son being taken back to the compound by Ma Yan, he wiped his eyes, put a smile on his face, slowly stood up, and prepared to leave.

But the moment he turned around, he was so scared that he almost screamed.

"you you you……"

Hou Sanjin pointed at Zhou Chen with trembling hands, his face full of fear and panic. He recognized Zhou Chen.

"We meet again, Hou Sanjin."

"Zhou, Officer Zhou."

Hou Sanjin forced himself to calm down, but his trembling tone still showed his panic at the moment. He had to be panicked. How could a thief not be panicked when seeing a policeman?

"Officer Zhou, why are you here?"

Zhou Chen snorted, "I should be the one asking this question. You were so engrossed in watching that I didn't even notice you standing behind me for a long time. What bad intentions do you have?"

Hou Sanjin looked flustered and explained hastily, "I, I didn't mean to do anything bad, Officer Zhou, I really have given up evil and turned to good. Uncle Ma can prove that I am a good person now, really, a good person who makes a living."

"Good guy? Haha."

Zhou Chen knew that Hou Sanjin would become a drug dealer in the future and would be sentenced to death. Not to mention the future, even now, Hou Sanjin could not be considered a good person.

"Don't try to fool me. Don't think I can't see that you were staring at Xiao Ma Jian just now?"

"I didn't, you misunderstood. I actually wanted to come to see Uncle Ma, but I heard that Uncle Ma was not here..."

"Okay, stop pretending in front of me. Your little tricks are all flaws in my eyes."

Zhou Chen was too lazy to play dumb with him and said directly: "Since you don't want to say it yourself, then I will say it for you."

"We found Ma Jian on the Ningha Line train and Uncle Ma took him home to raise him. Unfortunately, his parents never came to look for him. At that time, Aunt Ma was diagnosed with a disease and had to put him in an orphanage. But later, Uncle Ma's family couldn't bear to part with Ma Jian and took him back from the orphanage. From then on, he became the son of the Ma family, Ma Jian."

"Why was Ma Jian abandoned on the train? Who abandoned him on the train? Hou Sanjin, do you want me to continue?"

Hou Sanjin's face turned pale. He took two steps back in panic and said in horror, "You, you know everything?"

"Otherwise, do you really think we police officers are useless? Who would hide and watch a child for no reason? Who else could it be except the child's biological parents?"

Hou Sanjin suddenly rushed towards Zhou Chen, bent his legs, knelt down in front of Zhou Chen, and grabbed Zhou Chen's clothes with both hands.

"Officer Zhou, I beg you, please don't tell Uncle Ma about this. I am sorry for him. I am an irresponsible father. I don't have the ability to raise him, so I had to leave him on the train. Uncle Ma was kind-hearted and adopted this child. I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life. I......"

"Shut up, you."

Zhou Chen rudely interrupted his plea and snorted, "Your gratitude is worthless to me. Even if you don't beg me, I want to warn you not to come again. You are not worthy of being Xiao Ma Jian's father. His surname is Ma now, and he is Uncle Ma's son. If you really want to do good for him, remember my words and don't bother him again. I don't think he wants to have a biological father who abandons him and is a criminal."

Hou Sanjin felt as if he had been hit hard. His hands loosened unconsciously and he collapsed to the ground, his face pale and his body trembling slightly.

"You are right. I am not worthy of being his father, nor am I worthy of seeing him. For his own good, I should not show up. What you said is right, yes, yes..."

Zhou Chen didn't feel any sympathy for Hou Sanjin at all. Human traffickers were vicious, but parents who abandoned their own children were not much better. All he felt was disgust and nausea.

"Don't pretend to be pitiful with me. I'm not Uncle Ma, and I don't have any patience for you. Now that I've found you today, in addition to the matter of Ma Jian, I also want to give you a warning. Don't commit crimes again in the future, whether it's petty theft, murder, arson, or drug trafficking. Even if you don't do it for yourself, you have to consider your biological son. Take care of yourself."

After saying this, Zhou Chen no longer cared about Hou Sanjin who was sitting on the ground and turned away.

It is difficult to persuade a damned cunning person with kind words, and it is difficult to show great compassion to a self-aware person.

He has already said this much. If Hou Sanjin still cannot understand, then he is courting death. He can't care less. He is a policeman now, but he is not a saint and cannot save those who have allowed themselves to fall into depravity.

Hou Sanjin watched Zhou Chen go away with an extremely complicated expression on his face. Zhou Chen's words were unpleasant to hear, but they were all facts and he could not deny them.

After a long time, he slowly stood up, took one last look at the courtyard, tears streaming down his face, and finally gritted his teeth and quickly left.
