In the spring of 1972, on a train heading to the Great Northern Wilderness for re-education, Chu Miaohong quietly tossed an old envelope into the wind. Far away in the year 2024, Zhang Hongcheng co...
Ever since Zhang Hongcheng decided where to go, the branch line of the Prince Gong Mansion Management Office was almost in arrears.
The dedicated line in this area of Prince Gong's Mansion is occupied by Prince Gong's Mansion for at least thirteen hours out of twenty-four hours a day, and all of them are long-distance.
Whether it's Suzhou, Xiaoshan, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Flower City, Pengcheng, Cloud City, or Hong Kong Island, the Post Office directly reported it to the central government.
The suspicion of being a spy is too strong.
Fortunately, the other party responded that there was no problem here.
If Prince Gong's Mansion wasn't a public institution, the post office would have almost cut him off after seeing the bills from the past few days.
Guo Tao put down the phone silently, his brows still furrowed.
He didn't expect the Zhang family's phone to be so busy. He called several times but the line was always busy.
Most people in the Wenchang Police Station had already gone off work. Guo Tao hesitated for a while before going out and riding his bicycle home.
To outsiders, Deputy Director Guo should be very successful recently.
When he retired from the army, he became the deputy instructor of the county's urban-rural fringe police station. During this period, he presided over the solution of several cases. Then he was transferred to the Wenchang Police Station in the east of the county as deputy director.
Two major cases that occurred in the county this year made the county bureau extremely anxious, but who would have thought that they were both easily solved by Deputy Chief Guo.
This made Guo Tao's reputation in the institute and the county bureau system unparalleled. The latest news came - the county bureau was preparing to recommend Guo Tao to participate in the city's training class.
According to the unwritten rules of the system, Deputy Director Guo will most likely be promoted again after receiving training.
The colleagues in the institute were talking about this, but they did not notice that the atmosphere between the director and the deputy director had become subtle recently.
Guo Tao was a little upset.
The director went to the county bureau leader's home almost every day after get off work during this period, so he naturally knew what the director wanted to do.
Among the chiefs of several police stations in the county's urban area, only the chief of Wenchang Police Station is approaching retirement age, and he still has a disciplinary sentence from last year that has not been revoked.
If he was really promoted, he would either go directly to the county bureau department or replace the position of the director of his own department.
Guo Tao was lost in thought while riding his bike.
He was not one of those retired soldiers with no foundation. His wife, Lu Yan, gave up the opportunity to stay in Beijing after graduating from university and was recommended to work as a secretary in the county compound.
The old company commander in the army is now the regiment political commissar, and is a comrade-in-arms with the leaders of the municipal bureau. Ordinary people cannot take away his credit.
In addition, the police system has always valued merit, so it was almost certain that he would be promoted since he had solved the case supervised by the province.
But Guo Tao knew that the director's connections in the county bureau should not be underestimated.
He was very sure that his director hoped that he would eventually join the department.
Gaining experience to enter the department?
Guo Tao shook his head.
To be honest, Guo Tao was not very interested in the position of director of Wenchang Police Station.
That era had just passed, and the police system had been re-established only a few years earlier. Most of the people assigned to the station had little experience, and quite a few of them were just there to get by.
Guo Tao knows his own business well. Although he is careful and cautious in handling cases, he is still far from being a super detective.
Almost all the major cases he solved in recent years were solved with the help of external assistance.
The real detective is in the capital.
This guy Zhang Hongcheng can often "analyze" a lot of things just by listening to him describe the general outline of the case.
On several occasions, it was Zhang Hongcheng who "inferred" that their direction in solving the case had deviated.
Sometimes Guo Tao feels very sorry and wonders why Zhang Hongcheng is not a policeman.
He is a top student at Minzu University and will be a person in charge of a region in the future...
When I got home, my one-year-old son immediately stumbled out.
Guo Tao picked up his son and started to poke him with his beard.
"Don't prick the child!"
At the kitchen window, Lu Yan waved a spatula to threaten him.
Guo Tao smiled and returned to his room with his laughing son in his arms.
There were already two dishes on the table, and Lu Yan took off her apron and brought the last dish.
"Hey, there's bacon today, what's the good news?"
Lu Yan picked up the child, put the freshly warmed bottle into her son's mouth, let him suck it himself, and then took out her treasured fine wine and filled Guo Tao's bottle.
"Any news on your side regarding the promotion of the law firm?"
Guo Tao teased his son with a piece of bacon and answered with a smile.
"Deputy Director Chen is an old friend of the director, so I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle."
After becoming a mother, Lu Yan's temper became more aggressive.
"Why don't we go visit the leaders of the Municipal Bureau? I'm not talking about your company commander's old comrade..."
Guo Tao shook his head slightly.
"If there's a vacancy for the director, it's fine, but we're still a few years away from getting the director position. This is going to offend people..."
"Then why are there rumors that they want to remove your director?"
Lu Yan grumbled in dissatisfaction, but after all, she was also a member of the county compound. Just one look at Guo Tao's helpless smile and she understood what he meant.
She looked at Guo Tao in surprise.
"Is it because Director Gan and Deputy Director Chen in the County Bureau are not doing well..."
Guo Tao nodded.
The couple ate in silence.
After Guo Tao finished a bowl of rice, he suddenly looked up at Lu Yan.
"Yanzi, if I go to another place, I can become the director of the Chengguan Town Police Station and concurrently serve as the deputy director of the county bureau. Do you think I should go?"
"Go, why not..." Lu Yan said, her chopsticks stopped in the air. She looked at her husband in surprise, "Where are you going?"
"Lao Zhang called me a few days ago and said that if my husband and I both agreed, he suggested that I apply to go to H County in the northwest with him."
