Riverside police

Two o'clock in the afternoon, Sanhe Martyrs Cemetery.

The saplings Lao Ding bought last year after applying for funds from the development zone were delivered. As soon as he unloaded the car, he went to the warehouse to get a shovel and started planting with Wang Tiejun, the only employee of the cemetery.

You can’t plant trees without water.

When Liu Degui learned that they were planting trees, he immediately asked Yan Huadong, the only employee of the Flood Control Material Reserve Center of the Water Conservancy Bureau, to open the warehouse, lift out the water pump, push it to the river on a trolley, connect the water pipe, and pull it to the cemetery, ready to start the water pump at any time. The diesel engine on board helps with watering.

"Director Liu, thank you for your hard work."

"Being idle is also idle. Why bother?"

Liu Degui took the cigarette from Lao Ding, who had a sore back from digging holes, and asked: "It's early for Arbor Day, why are you in a hurry to plant?"

"Who said you have to wait until Arbor Day to plant trees?" Old Ding smiled, lit up a cigarette and took a puff.

Liu Degui glanced at the saplings piled beside him and said with a smile: "Ding Suo, you are asking for trouble! Isn't it just planting trees? You can wait until Qingming Festival and let the tomb-sweeping unit bring saplings to plant them. There is no need to You beg grandpa to ask grandma to apply for funds, and there is no need for you to do the work yourself."

"If I ask others to bring saplings, they will bring them? If I ask them to plant trees, they will plant them?"

Lao Ding asked two questions in succession and sighed: "It's different now than before. I only visit the grave once a year and receive patriotic education once a year. Many units still go through the motions. I'll lay a wreath with a flag." , listen to the mourning music and observe silence for a few minutes, take a group photo and that’s it.”

Environment can really change people.

If you stay in the Martyrs Cemetery for a long time, you will naturally respect the revolutionary martyrs who are buried here.

For example, Lao Ding, who has been a public security officer and a cadre for so many years, did not do much work before retirement, but now he has no time to spare. He is either building flowers and trees, cleaning exhibition halls, or tinkering like a bricklayer or carpenter. .

In his opinion, as long as people can remember the revolutionary martyrs who are buried here, no matter what they do, it should be done.

Liu Degui was sighing secretly when Lao Ding asked curiously: "Director Liu, is there a leader to guide the work today?"

"No, no leader is here."

"Then why is your place so busy today? I saw several cars coming."

The camp area of ​​the Linghai Reserve Battalion is large and impressive, but the pre-appointed officers and soldiers in the camp can train for up to twelve days a year unless there are special circumstances.

The superiors felt that the huge camp could not be left idle, so they arranged the annual militia training in the development zone and several surrounding towns here, and even hung a sign at the gate of the Linghai City Armed Forces Militia Training Base.

Despite this, the camp remains idle for most of the year.

A few days ago, Secretary Qian came to the riverside to inspect the work. He passed by the camp and walked around, and he came up with new ideas.

Liu Degui hesitated for a moment and explained: "The people here are from the Discipline Inspection Commission. They haven't left until now. They said they want to borrow our place for a month or two."

Lao Ding was stunned and asked in surprise: "Is the Discipline Inspection Commission handling the case at your side?"

"It seems that two people were brought here in the morning, and they were locked up in the dormitory on the fourth floor. They were not allowed to leave the main door, and were not allowed to step through the second door. Several disciplinary inspection officials were watching, and lunch was served up."

"Shuanggui?"

"have no idea."

Lao Ding was very curious and asked, "Do you know the two people locked up in the dormitory on the fourth floor?"

Liu Degui thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "It looks familiar, but I just can't remember where I've seen him before. The Discipline Inspection Commission handles the case here, and we have to help keep it secret, so I didn't dare to ask."

"You are a battalion-level unit after all. The Discipline Inspection Commission wants to borrow your camp, so you will agree?"

"Secretary Qian personally called Minister Yang. Minister Yang sent a message. Do I dare not to borrow it?"

"Does Yang Jianbo know?"

"He went to study. Minister Yang didn't tell him. How could he know this?"

It has become a consensus that anyone who has worked with Xianyu can make progress.

For example, Yang Jianbo, if he had not teamed up with Xianyu, if he had not gone to Beihu with Xianyu to rescue and fight floods, his professional military career would have ended in the main camp in all likelihood, and he would probably be considering changing careers at this moment.

Because of Xianyu, his life trajectory has changed.

After the Chinese New Year, I will go to the Provincial Military Region to study. When I return from studying, I will be promoted to the deputy regiment, which is the deputy minister of the Linghai Armed Forces Department and the commander of the Linghai Reserve Battalion.

The situation of the Linghai Reserve Battalion is quite special. Xianyu only served as the battalion commander for one year because he wanted to form the Binjiang Naval Reserve Rescue Ship Brigade.

Hao Qiusheng took over from Xianyu for a few days when he was fired again because of his work style.

The military commanders of the army should not change too frequently. It is conceivable that the battalion commander Yang Jianbo can hold the post for at least three to five years.

An iron camp and flowing soldiers.

The Ministry of Armed Forces is still a "camp". In another three to five years, even if Minister Yang wants to continue to work as a superior, he will not agree. As the military chief of the Linghai Reserve Battalion, a benchmark reserve force, Yang Jianbo has great hope of being replaced by a regular regiment. Minister Yang serves as the Minister of Armed Forces in Linghai and can even become a member of the Standing Committee of the Linghai Municipal Committee!

First it was Li Jun at the border inspection station, and now it was Yang Jianbo’s turn.

Lao Ding sighed: "Jianbo was destined to meet a noble man. If it weren't for Xianyu, he wouldn't be where he is today."

Liu Degui thought so too, and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Did Xianyu go to Donghai to buy a second house?"

"I bought it, but he and Xiang Ning didn't go. It was Han Gong and Director Xiang who went."

Old Ding flicked the ashes of his cigarette and added with a smile: "Han Gong and Director Xiang may have considered that Xianyu would live a life full of debts, so they did not let him borrow money from Xiaoyu's family this time, but there was no mention in the house book that he and Xiaoyu's family Ning Ning’s name.”

Liu Degui asked in confusion: "Who did you borrow the money from for the down payment, and whose name was written on the house book?"

"Han Gong borrowed it from his younger brother and sister from Sigang's hometown. His and Director Xiang's names are written on the house book. After all, this house was bought mainly for the old couple to live in. Besides, they have been helping Xianyu and Xiang Ning all these years. I haven’t helped Xiaojun and Xiang Meng, maybe I was stimulated by Lao Han’s 50,000 yuan for Xianyu, and I want to buy a house in the East China Sea, and then I can take Xiaojun and Xiang Meng’s children with me.”

"Gong Han and Director Xiang plan to go to the East China Sea?"

"The conditions in Donghai are better than Binjiang in all aspects, especially education. When the children grow up and take the college entrance examination in the future, they will be better off than in Binjiang. One of them has retired, and the other has retreated to the second line. Anyway, they have plenty of time, so why not go to Donghai if they can? .”

"When are they going to go?"

"In the second half of the year, they plan to wait until Hanhan finishes this semester. By then, the new house will be almost decorated and they can move in."

“Where can I buy a new house?”

"It is said that I bought it in Xuhui District. Xuhui belongs to the main urban area like Huangpu. Unlike Xianyu and Ningning who are used to staying by the river, when I go to Donghai to buy goods, I have to buy them by the Huangpu River, and they also buy them in Pudong."

Of course it is better to buy in Puxi than in Pudong. Pudong used to be a rural area.

Although the construction is good now, the transportation is not convenient, and the education and medical conditions are still far inferior to Puxi.

Liu Degui envied Han Gong's family and couldn't help asking: "How much did Han Gong spend on buying a house?"

"More than 400,000 yuan, but it's all borrowed. If it were me, I could afford it even if I sell it. At worst, I could borrow money like them, but I don't have the courage. They are different from you and me. They have gained experience by taking on debt. , I have retirement salary anyway, so I’ll pay it back slowly.”

"They are indeed courageous, but I wouldn't dare to do it anyway."

…

Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.

While the two were chatting, Han Yu drove over in a small Qingqi.

"Uncle Liu, what's going on next door? Who is that little glasses guy sitting in the reception room? He doesn't even let me in!"

"He doesn't know you?"

"I don't know him either." Han Yu parked the car with a depressed look on his face.

Liu Degui explained with a smile: "The young man wearing glasses is from the Discipline Inspection Commission. They use our camp to handle cases and need to keep it confidential. Of course, people we don't know are not allowed in, and even if we know them, they probably won't be allowed in."

"From the Discipline Inspection Commission?" Han Yu asked subconsciously.

"Um."

"I understand. Since they want to keep it secret, I won't go in."

Old Ding smiled and asked, "Xianyu, are you looking for Zhang Asheng again today?"

Han Yu turned around and looked at Linghai Port and explained: "I'm not looking for him, but I have something to do with him. There is a bulk carrier entering the port tonight. This ship is dedicated to Southeast Asia. I want to visit the captain and first mate. I want to borrow some money. This is an opportunity to chat with others.”

This young man really loves what he does.

Knowing that he would be traveling with a naval fleet in July, he made preparations for the visit in advance.

Thinking of this, Old Ding smiled and asked, "Would you like to visit a captain who is familiar with Africa?"

"There are very few captains here who are familiar with the situation in Africa, but Mr. Zhang introduced me to one. He used to work in the Maritime Bureau, and later became a free seaman. He switched jobs to help a large shipping company in Taiwan sail ships. He often I talked to people on the phone about the South African route.”

"You kid can do it, you want to be ahead of everything!"

"The escort captain has a heavy responsibility. Besides, I am an escort captain only because of the greetings from the leaders of the Ministry of Transportation. If I go head-to-head, I may not even be qualified to participate in the selection."

"You have worked on an ocean liner and have been to so many countries. Why are you not qualified?"

"I have worked on a seagoing ship, but I am only the first mate. The first condition for participating in the selection of escort captains must be a captain in the unlimited navigation area of ​​a first-class seagoing ship."

As soon as Han Yu finished speaking, a familiar face opened the small door and walked over from the camp.

Old Ding asked in shock: "Wu Jian!"

The Deputy Prosecutor General and Anti-Corruption Director of the Linghai City Procuratorate did not expect that Han Yu was also there. He smiled and said hello to his old colleague Lao Ding, looked at Han Yu with a smile and asked: "Xianyu, when did you come?"

"Just arrived." Han Yu pointed to the opposite side and asked curiously: "Wu Jian, have you been transferred to the Discipline Inspection Commission?"

"No."

"Then why are you here?"

"I was notified by the Discipline Inspection Commission. Maybe they have opened a breakthrough and need our help in investigating and collecting evidence. They may also ask us to intervene in advance."

Lao Ding couldn't help but ask: "Who are the two people under investigation?"

It is not a secret who the two persons under investigation by the Discipline Inspection Commission are. Linghai Municipal Government agencies and various bureaus and committees have already spread the word, but they do not know where the two persons are being held.

Wu Renguang diffused a circle of smoke and said lightly: "Wang Facai, the secretary of Yuelai Town, and Lu Hai, the mayor of Sichang Town."

"I said why he looks so familiar. It turns out to be Secretary Wang from Sichang Town!" Liu Degui reacted and murmured: "After returning from fighting against the flood the year before last, Principal Gao of Bailonggang Primary School helped Zhang Erxiao celebrate and invited Wang to drink. He even toasted us to get rich."

"Who would have thought at that time that he would be punished by the Discipline Inspection Commission?" Wu Renguang sighed softly, hesitated and said, "Xianyu, you are here just in time. I want to talk to you about something."

"Wu Jian, the leader of the procuratorate in charge of anti-corruption, whoever you talk to, don't talk to me!"

"Stop joking, I have something serious to do with you."

"OK."

"Old Ding, Director Liu, Xianyu and I will go for a walk on the river embankment."

You knew without asking that he had something to say to Xianyu.

Lao Ding and Liu Degui quickly said it was nothing.

The two walked out of the Martyrs Cemetery, crossed the road along the river, followed the flood control sidewalk built by Xiaoyu, and climbed to the end of the embankment.

Wu Renguang looked down at the broad river surface and asked in a low voice: "Xianyu, is there something wrong with Niu Bin?"

"I don't know if he has any problems."

"Wang Yan said a few words to me in private. There was something hidden in his words, as if he had something unspeakable. I can only ask you."

The person in front of me is really no outsider.

He had been colleagues with Master for so many years, and he had always respected Master and cared about Xu Mingyuan and Zhang Lan.

Han Yu was silent for a moment and said: "I think something is wrong with him. His return this time may not be as simple as opening a mobile phone hypermarket."

Wu Renguang has been the head of the criminal investigation system of the Linghai Public Security Bureau for so many years. He has rich experience in both case handling and social experience. He asked straight to the point: "Do you suspect him of smuggling mobile phones?"

"It's probably an occupational disease. When I saw someone coming back from Dongguang, I thought he might be involved in smuggling."

"Probably? Maybe?"

"Wu Jian, aren't you making things difficult for me? Don't talk nonsense without any basis!"

"Does Mingyuan know?"

"I don't think I know." Han Yu paused and then said: "He is so busy at work and under so much pressure. I don't want to distract him. Besides, it was how many years ago he became Niu Bin's master. This matter has nothing to do with him. It doesn't matter."

"You really know people, faces but not hearts."

"Wu Jian, what do you mean?"

"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Ushihama."

Wu Renguang recalled that year, frowning and said: "When he was assigned to our Criminal Investigation Brigade, the bureau was in the process of regularizing the team in accordance with the requirements of the superiors. The police officers in the brigade were either old comrades with little education, or military cadres who had become monks halfway. There are very few people like him who have graduated from the police academy and majored in investigation.

I really had high hopes for him at that time, otherwise I would not have assigned him to the Fourth Squadron, let alone let Mingyuan take him. Later, I asked my wife to introduce him to a partner. Unexpectedly, he couldn't continue working for two years. When he resigned, I also approached him and did his ideological work. "

Han Yu didn't expect him to say this. He didn't know how to continue for a while, so he asked half-jokingly: "At that time, will you focus on training him?"

"Um."

"Wu Jian, why didn't you think of focusing on training me at that time?"

Wu Renguang was amused and said with a chuckle: "You didn't graduate from the police academy. Besides, you were thin and short at that time. You didn't look like a police officer. What's more important is that I don't have as good a vision as your master." , unlike your master who has a discerning eye."

Han Yu smiled and asked: "So I had no status in the bureau at that time?"

"It can't be said that you have no status. The main reason is that your situation at the time was too special. You were so young, so short, and your body was so thin... Let's not talk about these. Let's talk about Niu Bin. Are you planning to help Mingyuan clean up the family?"

"It depends on him. If he opens a mobile phone hypermarket in a down-to-earth manner, I will definitely not cause trouble for him for no reason. If he goes too far, don't blame me for not reminiscing about our old friendship. In fact, I have no friendship with him in the first place. "

"I went back and reminded him that if he persists, you can investigate as you please." Wu Renguang was silent for a moment, then thought about it and said solemnly: "You not only have to help Mingyuan clean up the door, you also have to help me clean up the door. "

Niu Bin did better than himself in the Linghai Public Security Bureau back then.

In fact, I only knew that Niu Bin was doing well, but I never knew that Wu Renguang, the then captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, was focusing on training Niu Bin.

Han Yu could understand Wu Renguang's mood at this moment. At the same time, he also didn't want to catch his former colleague from the bottom of his heart. He touched the corner of his mouth and said, "If you beat him, if he doesn't even listen to you, he will bring it upon himself."

Wu Renguang knew very well that Xianyu could say this because of his trust in him. As he walked, he said calmly: "His brother-in-law is back too. When exactly he came back and what he was doing, Shi Shengyong and I don't know. We were drinking together." I found out when I overheard him answering the phone, so you can pay attention."

Facts have proved that the senior's position is still very firm at critical moments.

Han Yu nodded and said nothing more.
