The actual official name of the Shanning District Security Station is "Heishan City Police Department No. 37 Bureau". Security Station is just a common name for it among the locals.
The Montenegro City Police Department is appointed by the mayor and is responsible to the mayor. It manages thousands of police officers throughout the city of Montenegro. The police stations in various districts and towns are parallel units and are directly led by the Montenegro City Police Department.
In theory, the mayor should be elected, and when the mayor is replaced, the city police chief will also be replaced.
In this way, it is very difficult for systemic nepotism corruption to form.
But now, mayors of all places are directly appointed by the Montenegro Special District Headquarters. However, when a new mayor takes office, the city police chief will also submit a letter of resignation, and it will be up to the new mayor to decide whether to keep him in office.
The police system, because it only has police ranks within the system and is only linked to remuneration, has lost the official identity in the traditional sense of Montenegro. Police officers are very different from traditional officials, and therefore have lost their appeal to a certain group of people.
However, the salary is still very good, and it is a stable job. As long as you don't make any mistakes, you can basically work until retirement. For most ordinary citizens, it is still a good job choice.
In fact, Lu Ming also feels that his current rule is very distorted. For example, the extremely powerful confidentiality system, the pervasive military intelligence system, the military system that is completely controlled by him, and so on.
Including the financial power of the entire Montenegro Special Region, which is actually firmly under its control and allocated according to the plan.
It is not unfair to say that he is a dictator.
However, the positions in the state machinery that face ordinary citizens are largely depriving them of their "official" attributes.
There is no way to avoid this kind of deformity. In chaotic times, one must not only ensure absolute control over power, but also find opportunities to reform the power structure. Moreover, the absolute power in one's control is also the basis for one to make these changes. Think about it, if one is really assassinated one day, it may not be unfair at all.
But before I die, I will not change my original intention.
…
The 37th Bureau has only a dozen police officers, including a sheriff and a deputy sheriff.
Zhao Shanpao was accompanied by two lawyers, and the person he called the police to was the district’s civil affairs committee member.
Therefore, Sheriff Wang Weiming received him personally.
Wang Weiming is less than 30 years old, has a short haircut, and looks like a smart and capable young man. He graduated from the police academy and his final academic qualification was at the beginning of this year, when he graduated from the one-year "Police Officer Fast Training Class" of the Montenegrin Military and Political University.
Lu Ming felt helpless when he heard his name. It was not uncommon for students of the Military and Political University to change their names to "Wei Ming", "Xiang Ming", "Jing Ming", "Shou Ming" and so on.
I don't like this fanatical atmosphere of personality cult, but the changes I am carrying out may need the support of this kind of personality cult.
Wang Weiming asked Zhao Shanpao questions in person, with a police officer taking notes.
Christine sat next to Zhao Shanpao.
Lu Ming did not go in. He took a look through the window as he passed by in the corridor. He was taken to another room and two other police officers took his statement as a witness.
Ah Qi and others are also witnesses, but there are only a dozen police officers here. This is the first time they have encountered such a big case, and they are short of manpower. After all, there are still people out on patrol, and there must be people on duty in the reporting room. Therefore, the eyewitnesses can only make statements in order.
After all this trouble, it was already noon.
Ah Qi and others took Zhao Shanpao to the snack bar next to the police station to satisfy their cravings.
Lu Ming and Christine returned to the RV. In the small dining room, Sanyi, that is, Qing'e 31, had already prepared several exquisite side dishes.
Among the thirty-six Qing'e, the last six Qing'e, from thirty-one to thirty-six, are all cooks who are good at cooking.
However, Liuli has recently expanded the Liuli Palace's staff and has seventy-two more "Red Feathers". Of course, their abilities cannot be compared with those of the thirty-six Green E's.
Several female officers in the office were newly promoted Red Feathers. They had learned various hidden weapons and were all good with firearms.
There are two Hong Lings on the bus now, but they are both in the driver's seat.
"Chris, what do you think of Officer Wang Weiming?" Lu Ming asked after tasting the steak.
Today's meal is Western food, which should be more to Christine's taste.
“Luckily, he’s not like the detective from the Northern Territory.” Christine mused, “But we’ll have to see how he handles it.”
The police station responded that they would conduct a serious investigation into the case.
Lu Ming nodded: "How about we stay here tonight?"
"It probably won't take a day or two. Let's wait for his reply."
"Okay." Lu Ming looked out the car window. "Zhao Shanpao is here. I'll go talk to him."
Under the RV, Zhao Shanpao's face was flushed, obviously he had drunk a few cups of wine.
Lu Ming's talk with him was simply to make him firm in his confidence and not to withdraw the lawsuit no matter who persuaded or threatened him.
Of course, the local secret service will definitely keep an eye on this matter. From Du Dewang's audacity, Lu Ming feels that if he lets it go, it will end up in tragedy.
In fact, the Bureau of Secrets only clears out spies and carries out anti-counterrevolutionary work against terrorist attacks, bandits, etc. that endanger the Montenegrin regime.
If it is not a case of this kind, it is strictly forbidden to investigate any officials or civilians. Even if the officials are corrupt, they will not be purged by the secret service system.
Moreover, the Bureau of Secrets system has relatively large institutions in Shengjing, Nanping, Wanzhou and other places.
In Montenegro, the number of security personnel is an order of magnitude lower. After all, the security situation here is much better than that in Jiangbei area, and various foreign forces have long been purged.
However, people like Wang Weiming, Du Dewang and others have now contacted me, and the security personnel will naturally conduct detailed investigations on them.
Therefore, the safety of Zhao Shanpao and his relatives is definitely not a problem.
After chatting with Zhao Shanpao, Lu Ming returned to the RV. Seeing that Christine had also finished her meal, he smiled and asked, "Are we going back now? Or are we going to walk around?"
"I'm back." Christine said calmly.
…
In fact, three days later, on Thursday, Lu Ming and Christine came to Longgang again.
Originally, Lu Ming was still in Antigua, but he flew back urgently, picked up Christine, and arrived in Longgang in the afternoon.
But in the eyes of the outside world, or the top leaders of the Black Mountain Headquarters, if General Lu is not in the East China Sea, he must be in Black Mountain.
When Lu Ming used the identity of Commissioner Zhang, "General Lu" would appear in the office in the General Building of Shili Villa.
However, after Lu Ming sent Christine to the East China Sea on Sunday, he did immediately return to Montenegro to handle government and military affairs. He went to Antigua on Wednesday and came back on Thursday.
Even busier than those people in the previous life who traveled around for business all year round.
However, the safety and comfort of today's airplanes are naturally far inferior to those in the past life. For someone like Lu Ming who flies several times a week, the probability of encountering an air crash is much higher than in the past life.
However, probability is probability. In fact, before each trip, Lu Ming's private plane is inspected and maintained at a super high level, and he will never choose to fly on days with bad weather, so safety is guaranteed.
…
Longgang Branch of Montenegro Procuratorate.
In the office, Gao Di, the deputy prosecutor of the branch office, was carefully checking Lu Ming's confession behind the large desk opposite.
Although the deputy prosecutor had a stern and somewhat domineering demeanor.
But Lu Ming, who was sitting leisurely, was in a good mood.
The Longgang Procuratorate has launched an investigation into the incident based on the materials reported by the 37th Bureau of the Police Station. When Du Dewang was taken away from the meeting room of the Shanning District Civil Affairs Committee, it caused a sensation in the local area.
Of course, Du Dewang returned to Xiaoheyan Village that afternoon, leaving the villagers a little at a loss.
But these are just inevitable procedures.
It seems that the Longgang Procuratorate is ready to prosecute Du Dewang and the two security guards.
The efficiency is very high, which makes Lu Ming feel that his efforts in Longgang and Heishan over the past few years have not been in vain.
As for the attitude of Deputy Attorney General Gaudi, there is no need to be too demanding.
And there is a high possibility that it is your messy hair shape that makes the other person feel disgusted.
In addition, it is normal for prosecutors and lawyers to dislike each other, and this is the case in the East China Sea.
"If there is no problem, Lawyer Zhang, please sign and put your fingerprint here." Gaudi pointed to the documents on the table.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "There's no need to put fingerprints on it. There's no law requiring witnesses to put fingerprints on the police or prosecutor's records. Isn't it enough to just sign it?"
"Lawyer Zhang is from another place, so you'd better respect our customs. Of course, if you really don't want to do it, it's up to you." Gaudi said with a cold face.
Lu Ming smiled and signed and put his fingerprints as he was told. He was just looking for trouble to see how he would respond.
…
Sunset Valley Village in the evening.
There was a lot of noise at the entrance of the village, and a bonfire was lit early. Today, two outside lawyers and a social worker invited the whole village to eat meat and drink wine.
However, the two wild boars on the bonfires were actually hunted by hunters in the village and bought by two lawyers and a social worker.
Two lawyers and a social worker also brought in drinks, candies, etc.
They also brought a few bags of rice, so everyone in the village will have steaming hot white rice today.
The children were the happiest, running, making noise and laughing.
Lu Ming sat next to Zhao Shanpao. Seeing that Zhao Shanpao was still a little worried, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry. I said Du Dewang would go to jail, and he would definitely go to jail. Now it's a new society, and it's different from before. You've been in and out of various government offices these days. Don't you feel anything?"
Zhao Shanpao sighed, "It seems so. I don't understand the world anymore."
Lu Ming said: "So, the next generation in the mountains still needs to go out to study, broaden their horizons, and integrate into this new society. Moreover, even if they are farming, having knowledge and not having knowledge are completely different!"
Zhao Shanpao looked at the laughing children, thoughtful.
"Lawyer Zhang, could you please say a few words to us? You are the host today!" A dark-skinned young woman said with a smile. She looked like the third sister-in-law who was shrewd and liked to take charge of things.
Lu Ming smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll say a few words." He paused and looked around at the villagers, "I've heard of this Sunset Valley Village a long time ago. The scenery here is beautiful, and the people here are brave and aggressive!"
Soon there was laughter.
Lu Ming raised his voice slightly: "In the past, there were many bad guys here, including bandits, robbers, and petty thieves."
The mountain people gradually stopped smiling, their faces became embarrassed, some even looked angry, and some looked nervous.
Zhao Shanpao also looked at Lu Ming in astonishment.
Lu Ming continued, "Take Zhao Shanpao for example. He was a bandit, right? He was a small leader? Of course, you did less evil, so you were pardoned, but more than 20 people in this village were sentenced or even hanged, right? People outside say this is a bandit village, and you feel wronged, but in fact, you are all the beneficiaries of the bandits' evil deeds, aren't you?"
Zhao Shanpao's face turned pale and he could not speak.
Lu Ming looked at him and said, "I'm helping you because Du Dewang did break the law, but the old grudge between you and me probably stems from you."
Glancing at the villagers with different expressions around the campfire, Lu Ming said, "Of course, we were poor before, and the government imposed heavy taxes. In many cases, everyone had no choice but to do so. Now, we have entered a new society and are looking forward to the future. But first of all, we all have to live like human beings."
Shaking his head, Lu Ming said, "I've gone off topic. Actually, I came here just to say that now you have an opportunity to start a new life. I hope you can seize it and don't regret giving it to the person who gave you a new life."
Then he stood up and said, "Okay, I should go now, you guys figure it out!"
Beside him, a group of people stood up.
Lu Ming glanced at Wei Chunli and said, "Ms. Wei, please stay!" After all, someone was needed to ease the atmosphere.
"Yes, okay..." Wei Chunli was a little at a loss, probably feeling more and more that her suspicion was correct.
…
In Longgang County, the main streets are brightly lit with lamp posts, which seems like a completely different world from when Lu Ming first arrived.
Walking on the street, Lu Ming sighed softly: "Development is the hard truth. In order to survive, human nature will be very ugly. Only when life gets better and better and there is hope in life, can people be human beings."
Christine smiled and said, "You have always been a mess, and you haven't changed now. You sent a lot of food to those unruly people, held a bonfire party, and then scolded them. You are really, as cute as ever..."
Christine helped Zhao Shanpao with the lawsuit, but it did not affect the impression that the villagers of Sunset Valley were unruly people in the eyes of this noble lady.
This is especially true after reading the relevant materials.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I feel sorry for their misfortune and angry at their lack of resistance. I originally wanted to sit there and play house with them with you, which would be quite romantic, but you insisted on asking me to say a few words, and I couldn't help it!"
"You can't demand too much from the people under your rule. Otherwise, they would all be General Lu. What would they need a General Lu like you for?" Christine shook her head.
Lu Ming smiled: "But your current attire doesn't convince me!"
Christine wore a snow-white denim suspender skirt, lace white socks and canvas shoes. She was a sweet and beautiful girl full of youth and vitality.
Christine said calmly, "You like to see it, so I put it on for you."
Lu Ming was stunned.
Neither of them spoke, but just walked silently on the street under the bright lamplight.
Lu Ming walked beside Christine, smelling the faint fragrance, and secretly glanced at Christine's slender hands exposed from the flower-like lace cuffs.
Even though he was surrounded by beautiful women, he was still worried about the judge, His Royal Highness the Duke. The thought of holding her hand kept surging in his mind, but he did not dare to reach out.
I smiled bitterly in my heart, thinking that I was such a failure because of the road.
Hmm? There was a small house with neon lights flashing in front of me. Judging from the sign, it was a dance hall. However, it looked low-class and full of smoke.
Lu Ming pouted, "Chris, shall we go dance for a while? I'll take care of the place."
I regretted it right after I finished speaking. Who is Christine? Can I hide my thoughts from her? I am afraid that I will have to explain everything to myself. I even pointed to the willow tree in the dark place where the street lamp was broken and told myself, why are you making so much trouble? Don’t you just want to hold my hand? Just go there! That is a holy place for walking on the road. You can hug and kiss.
Then, he would be defeated in front of her indifferent gaze that seemed to see through everything.
But unexpectedly, Christine glanced at the dance hall and nodded slightly, “Okay.”
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter. Come to think of it, Christine had never been in a relationship before and was a complete rookie.
After taking two steps over there, Lu Ming suddenly took Christine's hand.
Christine was stunned and struggled slightly, but was held tightly and could not move.
Holding the judge's soft hand, Lu Ming's heart was pounding. He pulled her and walked quickly towards the willow tree in the darkness.
Christine was inexplicably brought under the willow tree, and Lu Ming suddenly hugged her and kissed her on the mouth.
"Ah, what are you doing..." Christine stepped back.
Lu Ming accidentally grabbed her ponytail with his hands and kissed her red lips.
When Lu Ming bit Christine's extremely soft lower lip, his head was buzzing and he even felt a little dizzy. He looked at the judge's majestic face in front of him, with her red lips gently kissed. When she wore the majestic black judge's robe and tried his case for the first time, he never thought that this day would come.
"What are you doing... Your saliva is so dirty..." Christine struggled with her mouth open, obviously extremely uncomfortable.
With his mouth full of sweet saliva, Lu Ming just wanted to suck it all and swallow it. How could he even care about whether exchanging saliva was dirty or not
Ah, Lu Ming's tongue suddenly hurt. It was the moment when he touched Christine's soft and fragrant tongue. He was so excited that he was about to go crazy. When he wanted to roll his tongue up, he felt a sharp pain. Christine bit the tip of his tongue hard.
As her mind regained some clarity, Christine had already taken a few steps back.
"You hurt my hair!" Christine frowned and touched her ponytails.
"..." Lu Ming was extremely embarrassed, as if even apologizing was not right.
Christine had already walked towards the light, and Lu Ming could only follow behind awkwardly.
"I'm never going to walk on the street with you again!" Christine whispered.
Hmm? This tone was very much like a little girl in love, and Lu Ming immediately felt relieved. He took two steps and grabbed her slender hand. Christine did not break free.
The two of them stopped talking, walked hand in hand in silence, and under the street lights, their long figures gradually disappeared into the distance.
