Office of the Director General of Nanping Police Headquarters.
Director Liu Xin and others felt helpless listening to the young man's chattering in front of them.
But the brigade commander had something to say, and when the officials of Nanping saw Commissioner Zhang, it was as if the brigade commander was there in person.
But listening to this guy talking about the constraints and changes on law enforcement power and so on, it really gives me a headache. I don't want to hear a word of him anymore. It makes my scalp tingle and I feel physically uncomfortable. How can you manage the law enforcement of my people? What about serving civil rights? Are you naive or childish? We are all in the same boat, why are you pretending to be so arrogant
"Commissioner Zhang, how about this!" When the other party had just finished speaking, Liu Xin and others hurriedly interrupted. Their smiles were so stiff that they seemed to be painful. After all, the other party was the "emperor emeritus". They could ignore him in their hearts, but they had to show utmost respect to him on the surface.
"I'll entrust our Deputy Director Lin to accompany you around to see how they enforce the law. Then, we'll find out where we're lacking and listen to your suggestions." Liu Xin and others made up their minds that after this guy stepped out of this door, if they saw him again, they would think he was a jerk with a brain. In the future, whenever he wanted to see them, they would definitely not be there.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, but I don't know if it will bother Deputy Director Lin or not."
"No trouble, no trouble!" Liu Xindeng smiled like Maitreya Buddha.
…
Deputy Director Lin is Lin Hanshan, a little old man in his fifties. He warmly welcomed Lu Ming into his office.
"Commissioner Zhang, this is Northern Region Tianshan Snow Tea. It's the tea from the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain. Every year, there are casualties among tea farmers who go to pick tea from the northern slope. Whether they can pick tea is another matter! It's also a rare commodity in the Northern Region." The tea brewed by Lin Hanshan looked like a small white flower.
Lu Ming smiled.
Rows of words emerged in my mind.
Lin Hanshan, male, 53 years old, is one of the old-school meritorious officers under Gao Baoshan.
But more than ten years ago, when Gao Baoshan's group had just taken control of Nanping and confiscated local private banks, Lin Hanshan secretly doubled the gold bars in the vault to make it five and only reported half of the number. Gao Baoshan discovered this and almost shot him, but he luckily survived. It is rumored that his wife accompanied Gao Baoshan for a night, but it is an old story and cannot be verified any more.
Lin Hanshan was really determined. After being assigned by Gao Baoshan to be an ordinary patrolman, he really did the job. Moreover, he patrolled the streets for more than ten years, working diligently and conscientiously.
But last year, he was reappointed as Deputy Director General of Police. It was because of Gao Baoshan’s birthday party that they talked about some old friends who had passed away, the kind who had grown up with him and fought for the world. Many of them are no longer around. This reminded him of Lin Hanshan.
It just so happened that a big incident occurred when the patrolmen suppressed the coolies' demand for wages, so Gao Baoshan re-employed Lin Hanshan.
The original intention might have been to replace the then director with Lin Hanshan, but in the end it was another deputy director, Liu Xin, who took over the position of director.
It seemed as if someone had said a lot of bad things about Lin Hanshan in front of Gao Baoshan, which made him doubt again.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming shook his head. He could only say that Gao Baoshan no longer had the decisiveness he had when he started his business. If this continued over and over again, it would only cause instability among the people. Of course, this might also be Gao Baoshan's tactics in employing people.
"Commissioner Zhang, how does this tea taste?" Lin Hanshan asked with an apologetic smile.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Shall we go to each branch office to have a look?"
"Of course, no problem. But Commissioner, what's the point of us going there?" Lin Hanshan glanced at Lu Ming's expression. "I don't know what the Commissioner's intention is. If he wants to understand the situation of the police station in preparation for General Lu's full takeover of Nanping Road, I think it's unnecessary." He pointed to his head. "Everything is stored here."
Oh? Lu Ming smiled but didn't say anything.
"Commissioner, I am not afraid of getting into trouble. I think the commissioner is here as a touchstone for Gao Shuai. Apart from Chen Rongfu, other Nanping officials who frequently interact with the commissioner will probably be recorded in the notebook and will be eliminated sooner or later. Liu Xin and others want me to accompany the commissioner, but aren't they trying to push me into the fire pit?" Lin Hanshan said with a smile, "Only Chen Rongfu will definitely try his best to make friends with the commissioner. This is also his job."
Lin Hanshan pointed at his desk and said, "Although the bug below is on now, it is interfering and can't hear what we are saying. We should also be careful about the Commissioner's residence. Every senior official in Nanping is bugged and they all know it tacitly. I think the Commissioner probably can't avoid this treatment either."
Lu Ming looked at him with interest and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your reminder." With Tuolong and Xiaoguo checking, he was naturally not afraid of being bugged at home. Besides, he never talked about serious matters at home.
"Commissioner, if you have any arrangements, please be frank and honest. I will do my best to cooperate with you!" Lin Hanshan looked at Lu Ming. "I think the commissioner must have some information about me, and most of it is true."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "What can I plan? Going to various police stations is my current plan."
Lin Hanshan sighed softly, "It seems that the commissioner still doesn't trust me."
At this moment, there seemed to be a sudden sound of urgent running outside, very chaotic, someone shouted something loudly, and then quickly lowered the voice, as if something big had happened.
The phone on Lin Hanshan's desk rang rapidly.
Lin Hanshan took two steps forward and picked up the microphone. When he heard what was said, his expression changed slightly. He looked at Lu Ming, "The Third Regiment on the Eastern Front mutinied, and Cheng Dasui's troops took the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack! There were also leaflets in Nanping City, and thugs attacked the Japanese community."
"I have to go to a meeting now, please wait!" Lin Hanshan picked up his police hat and took two steps outside. Suddenly he stopped and looked at Lu Ming, "You, you don't seem surprised?"
The phone rang again suddenly. Lin Hanshan went to answer it, seeming a little surprised. "Yes, he is here, Brigade Commander..." He shut up again and heard the person on the other end say that it was obviously Gao Baoshan calling.
"General Gao wants to see you now!" Lin Hanshan hung up the phone and shook his head.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "It seems that Gao Lushuai knows my whereabouts at all times!"
"These are just surface things, and what the Commissioner knows, understands, and predicts the changes in the situation here..." Lin Hanshan suddenly stopped talking, "In short, if the Commissioner thinks highly of me and thinks that my old bones are still useful, please give me your orders." There was no longer the initial confidence in his tone.
Lu Ming had already stood up and was walking out. When he reached the door, he paused slightly and said, "Let's talk about it another day." Then he walked out.
Lin Hanshan nodded slightly, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, his face expressionless, and he also walked out of the office, running in different directions with Lu Ming, one heading east and the other heading west.
