Riverside police

At half past ten in the evening, the Lingda Steam Ferry was still brightly lit.

As the two large trucks passed the toll gate and boarded the ferry under the command of the ferry staff, Zhang Mingyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

During every year and festival, there are particularly many vehicles crossing the river.

An hour ago, vehicles waiting to cross the river were lined up for nearly a kilometer.

He and three police officers have been inspecting the place from eight o'clock in the morning until now. They are so busy that they have not even bothered to eat dinner. Just as he was about to ask the co-op who was also working hard to heat up dinner in the police room, and then go back to rest after eating, Lao Ding drove over in a jeep.

It is said that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. The changes in the past few years have been really big.

He, who was once an internal clerk at the No. 4 Police Station, actually became the instructor of the Yanjiang Police Station. Ding, the former chief of the No. 4 Police Station, took a back seat and was actually assigned by the bureau to work at the Yanjiang Police Station to use his spare energy and become an ordinary policeman.

Superiors become subordinates, and subordinates become superiors.

However, Zhang Mingyuan would soon be relegated to the second line. He did not dare and did not need to treat Lao Ding as his subordinate. He went up to him and asked with a smile: "Ding Suo, why don't you take a rest at this late hour and come all the way here?"

"Let's see if you can help here."

"There are not many cars left. I'm about to go back."

"There are three police officers in total, and we are actually responsible for two steam ferries and a water security checkpoint. I really don't know what the bureau is thinking." Lao Ding jumped out of the car and looked behind him, took out his cigarette and looked unhappy.

Zhang Mingyuan smiled and said: "It's not three, it's four."

"You're talking about Xianyu. He went to the water detachment for a temporary job. He can't be counted as a police officer in the station."

"Why doesn't it count? He just took a temporary job and his work relationship was not transferred."

"Lao Zhang, you are the instructor. I have the opportunity to talk to the bureau leaders. Look at the boat port squadron of the water detachment. As long as it is responsible for a water security inspection station, there are six police officers and four assisting police officers. Look at ours. Bian, isn’t this going to cost us our lives?”

The police force at Yanjiang Police Station is indeed seriously insufficient, and they are all veteran comrades.

Lao Zhang mentioned the shortage of personnel to the bureau more than once, but the brother police station was even more short of personnel. The bureau leader asked him to persist...

Facing the old leader, he really didn't know how to explain it, so he could only laugh and said: "There are more ships entering and exiting the Yangtze River at Yingchuang Port than here, and there is a development zone on the shore, so the situation is more complicated than here."

Lao Ding handed over the cigarette and said with a wry smile: "I came at the wrong time. I really envy Lao Li. He retired before the ferry was put into use."

Although the Yanjiang Police Station two years ago was not quiet, it was far less busy than it is now.

Zhang Mingyuan could understand his feelings and quickly changed the subject: "Ding Suo, Xu Zuo didn't call. How did Haoran's affairs go?"

"I called in the afternoon and made an agreement with the woman to get married tomorrow."

"We'll get married tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow is New Year's Day. The girl's parents and army leaders have time. Besides, Haoran is not young, so the marriage cannot be postponed any longer."

"That's true."

Zhang Mingyuan nodded, thought about it and asked, "Is Xu Suo's leg feeling better?"

As he walked to the ferry police station, Lao Ding said helplessly: "I asked, and he said that taking a few more painkillers would not cause much pain, but the swelling would not go away."

"What's the use of taking painkillers? It treats the symptoms but not the root cause."

"Yeah, he's only forty-seven, but he's already fallen ill. He's in so much pain now. When we get to our age, we really don't know what the pain will be like."

Old Ding sighed, and sighed: "So this guy shouldn't be too competitive. When he was young, he was a river worker and organized militia training. When choosing a party, he must pick more people than others, and when training, he must win the third place. One, a good body is ruined like this."

Xu Sanye's health is getting worse every year.

I used to have pain in my arms and legs, and going to the hospital to get an injection would cure the pain for half a year.

Later, the blocking injection didn't work and I had to be hospitalized.

Now injections and infusions don't work, and I have to take so many painkillers every day, just like eating jelly beans.

Thinking of Xu Sanye's rheumatism and arthritis attacks, he was in so much pain that he couldn't move. Zhang Mingyuan felt very uncomfortable and simply changed the topic: "It's almost half past ten. Counting the time, Xianyu and Ningning should also get on the boat. ”

Although Xianyu works as a temporary officer in the municipal water bureau's water detachment, he often calls the office.

Lao Ding also knew that Xianyu and Han Xiangning were going to Jiangcheng. Thinking of Xu Sanye's abnormal behavior during this period, he murmured:

"He took Old Wei to the army to help arrange Haoran's wedding, and asked Xianyu and Ningning to go to Mr. Yu, making him look like Tuogu. Could it be that such a tough guy like him was really broken down by arthritis... "

Going around and around, it circled back to Xu Sanye.

Zhang Mingyuan was silent for a moment, looked at the two policemen who were heating the rice in the rice cooker, and said helplessly: "It's possible, you haven't seen how painful it is when his old problem attacks. As for letting Xianyu Going to find Mr. Yu may have something to do with the timing and age."

"When, what age?"

"I'm about to step back. His old problems are getting worse. He may soon be on crutches, and he probably won't be able to do his job for a few days. What will happen to Salted Fish when we all quit?"

Lao Ding was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing.

Xu Sanye really trained Xianyu as his director, but the Public Security Bureau is not like any other unit and pays attention to seniority.

Although Xianyu is very capable, he is too young.

The average age of the Shuishang Branch is very young, and it was established on the basis of the Yanjiang Police Station. Many police officers have worked under Xianyu. When Xianyu was appointed as squadron leader, no one said anything.

If he were in Linghai Public Security Bureau, Xianyu wouldn't have a chance to serve as squadron leader, let alone squadron leader.

According to Xu Sanye's original plan, Xianyu served as a squadron leader in the Water Bureau for two years. After returning, although he was still very young, he could sail a boat, had experience in working on the water, and had the qualifications of a squadron leader. He would then exert some influence and let Xianyu should be fine as the deputy director.

But now Linghai County has become Linghai City. The personnel from the city to the bureau have changed too much, and his health is getting worse day by day. I don't know if he can last two years...

More importantly, the Yanjiang Police Station is an extremely marginalized unit.

Although Xianyu has been working for a long time, even if he didn't go to Donghai to study or go on an ocean liner, he was still an insignificant role in the bureau.

It is no exaggeration to say that except for the police officers who worked in the No. 4 Police Station and the No. 4 Criminal Investigation Squadron, few police officers in other units knew Xianyu.

If he misses this opportunity, Xianyu may be like the contract police officers who became regular police officers in recent years and can only be an ordinary police officer in his life.

Thinking of this, Lao Ding sighed softly: "For our Linghai Public Security Bureau, the shore is always more important than the water. So what if Xianyu can be the deputy director after he comes back. I don't think Xianyu needs to come back. On the water The branch office has a better future than coming back."

From the perspective of personal development, staying in the water branch of Xianyu is indeed better than returning to the police station along the river.

Zhang Mingyuan was silent for a moment and said with a wry smile: "This is not a matter of whether there is a future."

"What's the meaning?"

"It's not easy today at the police station along the Yangtze River. If we all retreat, and if Xianyu doesn't come back, who will hand over the barge built by selling iron and the 001 that tried every means to upgrade? Who will care about the security of the river like us? ?”

This is indeed a very real problem.

Although the Yanjiang Police Station has made so many achievements over the years, in the eyes of many people, the Yanjiang Police Station is still a retirement unit.

If someone who doesn't care about the security of Jiangshang and Bailong River is allowed to be the director, everything that so many people have done before will be in vain. Maybe even the barge built by selling iron and steel and the 001 that tried every means to upgrade and transform will be gone. It will be well cared for and maintained, and it will be scrapped in a few years.

This is definitely something Xu Sanye never wants to see!

Lao Ding knew Xu Sanye too well and said thoughtfully: "Actually, there is another way."

Zhang Mingyuan asked subconsciously: "What method."

"He is not just a disciple of Xianyu. If he doesn't trust others, why don't he trust Xu Mingyuan? Xu Mingyuan is twenty-nine this year and will be thirty-one in two years. Not only does he have a professional background, but he also has rich work experience. He will be able to follow the situation by then. Li suggested that Xu Mingyuan be the director."

"Xu Mingyuan is now the captain of the serious crime team and is a key training target of the bureau. There are not many police officers who specialize in criminal investigation, and there are even fewer experienced criminal investigators. The bureau will definitely not let Xu Mingyuan be the director."

"What should we do?"

"Let's talk about it then, there will always be a way."

…

At the same time, the "Jianghan" passenger ship sailing from the East China Sea to Hanwu set sail again after a brief stop at Binjiang Port.

The Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau was officially incorporated into the Changhang Public Security Bureau and became the Binjiang Branch of the Changhang Public Security Bureau.

As an internal police officer at the Binjiang Port Police Station, Han Ning is often on duty in the waiting room and even the dock, and is very familiar with the police officers on the passenger ships.

Now I am a colleague in the same unit as the police officer on the passenger ship, and I am more familiar with him than before.

Han Ning helped buy the tickets for Han Yu and Han Xiangning. Han Ning had just sent them to the boat and helped them greet the police.

After inspecting the cabin, the policeman came over to chat.

The person was kind-hearted, so Han Yu could only chat with him for a while. As a result, all the passengers in the same cabin knew that Han Yu was also a police officer.

Han Xiangning didn't want to be watched by the passengers, so as soon as the police officer left, he took his elementary school student to the deck to watch the night view of the Yangtze River.

Binjiang is not the East China Sea. The urban area of ​​Binjiang is not on the riverside. The shore is pitch black and there is really nothing to see.

However, Han Xiangning felt more comfortable than staying in a cabin filled with various smells. She wrapped her coat tightly and nestled in Han Yu's arms. Looking at the lights of the cargo ship in the distance, she whispered: "San'er, you just went to Donghai to study." When we set sail, I vowed to go on a trip, and I would go wherever you want to go."

The wind is strong on the river and the weather is cold.

Han Yu was afraid that she would freeze, so he hugged her and said with a smile: "In the end, I only went to Qingdao once."

Han Xiangning raised his head and asked, "Do you know why I didn't go out to play again?"

"Why."

"It costs money to go out and play, and even if you live frugally, it will still cost a lot of money. I can't bear to do it."

After returning from a trip to Qingdao, we confirmed our relationship. It was said that we were in a relationship, but in fact it was almost the same as getting engaged.

Han Yu realized that she had been making plans for her future life since then. His heart warmed and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her cheek.

"Someone!"

Han Xiangning scolded him, but felt happy in his heart.

Han Yu looked back behind him and found that there were quite a few passengers who stayed up late at night and went out on the deck to blow the cold wind. He smiled in her ear and said, "They are also in love. We don't laugh at them, and they don't laugh at them either." us."

"real?"

"Don't look at it. People will be embarrassed if they look at it."

"oh."

Han Xiangning chuckled, and then changed the subject: "San'er, last week Lin Xiaohui celebrated her birthday and had a banquet for guests at Linghai Hotel. Why didn't you be invited?"

Han Yu was stunned for a moment, then asked pretending to be surprised: "Is it Lin Xiaohui's birthday?"

"you do not know?"

"She's the same age as me, and it's not her birthday. As for making it so exaggerated, she went to Linghai Hotel."

"Don't change the topic, first tell me whether you know."

Captain Wang and Xiaoyu went to Yingchuan Port to help her rather than to help themselves. They stayed at the water rescue center by the Pants Port river almost every day to guard 001.

Xiaoyu's mouth can't hide things, and Xiaoyu's girlfriend also went to the water rescue center in the past two days, so this secret can't be kept at all.

Han Yu didn't dare to believe what he said, so he could only say anxiously: "I know, it was Xiaoyu who told me."

"Since you already knew, why didn't you tell me."

"They didn't invite me. This matter has nothing to do with me. I didn't even take it to heart."

Facts have proved that the junior's performance is still very good.

If he said no contact, he would stop contacting him. He didn't contact him for several years, otherwise Lin Xiaohui wouldn't have known that he was back.

Han Xiangning never thought of blaming him. She was silent for a moment, pouted and muttered: "I know you didn't tell me because you were worried that I would be unhappy. In fact, I'm not that stingy."

No matter what you say, it will be wrong. Han Yu hurriedly said: "Let's talk about what she does. Let's talk about something else."

"What are you afraid of? I'm not a jealous person." Han Xiangning looked up at him and said with a smile, "If I don't mention her and don't let you see her, then in the eyes of others I will really be a jealous person."

"What's there to see?"

"You are neighbors. You and she have played together since childhood. Now that she is back, we should treat her to a meal when we have time."

A woman's heart is as deep as a needle in the sea.

Han Yu didn't know what his senior thought, so he didn't dare to express his opinion easily.

Han Xiangning smiled and continued: "Actually, I admire her quite a lot. I heard that some of the models who entered the finals with her became stars, some married big bosses, and some were hired by airlines. Some become professional models and often go abroad. But she actually returns to the factory and continues to work. She is not as vain and covetous as others, which is really not easy."

Han Yu hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I couldn't figure it out before, but later I realized that it might have something to do with the fact that we are all on the ship."

"What does it have to do with growing up on a ship?"

"Although the people on the ship are wandering around and calling themselves home all over the world, they seem to have no fear of anything, but in fact we are the most insecure."

"Does she feel that being a star or a model is not practical?"

"should be."

"What about you, do you feel safe? Do you feel at ease now?"

"I have you. I am a person who has a home on the shore. How can I feel insecure and unsteady?"

Han Xiangning could tell that this was what he was saying, so she snuggled into his arms again and said with a smile, "Yuzhen said Lin Xiaohui found a boyfriend."

Han Yu said perfunctorily: "Really?"

Han Xiangning sighed: "I thought it was a Hong Kong boss, but it turned out not to be the case."

Han Yu asked curiously: "What does that do? Where do you come from?"

Han Xiangning looked at the flashing beacon lights in the distance and whispered: "My colleagues in their company seem to have a surname of Zhou. They are from Zhejiang and their hometown is in the countryside. They are college students and majored in international trade. All the clothes produced by their company are required." For export, her boyfriend is responsible for handling the export formalities.”

"Good."

"It's very good. Yuzhen said that her boyfriend often comes to Linghai. When she and her boyfriend are both there one day, we will treat them to a meal."

"She is richer than us. We are about to become paupers. Do we need to treat them to dinner? Besides, she is a white-collar worker in a Hong Kong-funded company. She goes to Linghai Hotel for birthdays. It would be inappropriate to treat her to a small restaurant. We can’t afford to go to Linghai Hotel.”

In the past, I was always worried that my junior brother was not clear with others, but now that he has a boyfriend and bought a commercial house in Donghai, there is really nothing to worry about.

What's more important is that if you continue to be as defensive as before, people will think you are stingy.

Han Xiangning made up her mind, feeling that she should be generous, and said with a smile: "She invited us to dinner when we were in Qibao Town, and we should treat her in return. It doesn't matter where we go, it's mainly a matter of thought."

What is past is past.

Compared to Lin Xiaohui, who had not been in contact for several years, Han Yu was more worried about his master's health and said absently: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
