Chapter 8 Police Station

At this time, the police station was filled with a lazy atmosphere.

The police officers seemed to have forgotten their duties. Some of them drank tea leisurely, with steam rising and the amber liquid in the teacup swaying slightly under the light.

Others focused on the newspaper in their hands, sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes shaking their heads gently, completely immersed in a world unrelated to work.

The entire police station lacked the majesty and order of later generations. Instead, it was lax and casual, and was far less convincing than later generations.

Even the police station was a little jealous.

The chandelier on the ceiling seemed like it could go out at any moment. The tiles on the floor were broken, and in some places the rough cement floor was exposed. In the office area, worn-out tables and chairs were placed randomly, with the tabletops badly worn out. The wooden cabinet doors were half-closed, and some were already shaky and about to fall apart, as if they would fall apart at the slightest touch.

No one had the same uniform. They were all wearing their own clothes that had been washed so many times that they had turned white.

This is the nearest police station to Wan Shui Lane. The area nearby is a lawless zone. I don’t know what the higher-ups came up with to have this police station.

Liu Aqiang leisurely drank a sip of tea, looking at their lazy and decadent appearance, something flashed in his eyes and then disappeared.

Well, why bother so much? Just get by one day at a time. If you bother too much, you won't get paid and it will easily cause trouble.

When he was first assigned to this place, he was also ambitious. Later, he was taught a lesson twice on how to behave. When he was powerless to resist and no one helped him, he was completely disappointed with this area.

As I was lost in thought, a ring suddenly rang, breaking the peace in the room.

But no one moved at all. Those who were supposed to drink tea drank tea, and those who were supposed to read the newspaper read the newspaper. No one moved at all.

Only Liu Ah Qiang was closest to the phone. He laughed helplessly and scolded, "What a bunch of lazy people. You are too lazy to answer the phone. You might as well go home and sell fish balls!"

A young man sitting next to him and reading a newspaper with his legs crossed replied lazily, "Brother Liu, why are you answering it? You don't want to deal with small matters, and you can't deal with big matters. Maybe it's some confused old lady who called the wrong number again."

Several young police officers nearby also started talking.

"Yes, we may not get a phone call every three to five days. The last time we got a call was from an old lady who was confused and wanted to find her son. When I went to ask her, she said she didn't have a son. I called the police, and when I came back, Azhi and the others laughed at me for a long time."

"Yeah, they don't come to us when they have problems. Do you remember the time they called and said there were thugs robbing people? When I went there, they stepped on me and kicked me so hard that my clothes were torn."

"Of course we remembered. Your wife gave you a good beating when you got home, and you came to work the next day with a slap mark on your face. Hahahahahaha."

The man didn't mind their ridicule and even laughed at himself, "Hahahaha, that was really embarrassing. I guess I have to wear a helmet next time."

“Hahahahahahaha…”

Everyone started laughing, but their laughter always revealed a sense of sadness and powerlessness, as if they were using laughter to cover up the pain and unwillingness in their hearts.

"Okay, stop talking!" Liu Aqiang scolded and picked up the phone. "This is the Royal Hong Kong Police Station in Wan Shui Lane. What's going on?"

Then everyone watched as Liu Aqiang's originally nonchalant expression slowly froze, and finally remained in a dazed expression.

After he hung up the phone, curious people gathered around him.

"Brother Qiang, what's the matter? Why do you look like that?"

"Liu Sri, is it possible that your wife and your mother are fighting?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter. Everyone in the police station knew that his mother and wife did not want him to continue working as a police officer in this area, and they quarreled about this every day.

Although being a policeman can make a lot of money these days, this lawless area is full of poor people, so there is no money to be made. The salary is low, and the superiors don't care, so every day is just a muddle.

Those who had a little bit of ambition to stand out had all tried to leave, leaving these few who had no idea what they were thinking and who had to stay here for three or four years.

Liu Aqiang ignored their ridicule and said blankly: "The police said they caught Wang Biao and his gang. They are now in the alley of No. 123 Shuiwan Lane. They asked us to bring them back for interrogation."

When the others heard this, they all dispersed.

"That's it? Let's go, there's nothing fun to do. Just go and bring someone back, interrogate them and leave. The two of us are redundant."

"Yes, Sir Liu, let Ah Zhi go. He will be going out to buy cigarettes later anyway, so it's just a matter of convenience."

"I said these people are just full and have nothing to lose. Wang Biao and his gang have been bullying us for a long time. Even if they come to our police station, what can we do? He has someone behind him, so he will be released after two days."

"No! The person who called just now was not an ordinary person. It was Qin Wu, the one who often appears in newspapers, from the Qin Group! Mr. Qin!"

The more Liu Aqiang spoke, the brighter the light in his eyes became. It seemed like they were about to succeed!

"Those people like Seto Biao have hit a wall! We have to make a name for ourselves!"

After hearing this, everyone was stunned. The next moment, they became busy, with shocking lights in their eyes!

It's not that they didn't have doubts, but most people didn't have the courage to pretend to be Qin Sheng. Besides, there was no benefit in deceiving a bunch of poor people like them.

"Oh my god! Is it really Qin Sheng? You didn't lie to us, did you? Put down my belt, you bastard!"

"Where are my shoes?! Find my shoes!"

"Who's looking for your stinky shoes? Take a look under the table. Who saw my gun? My gun is gone! It's one of the only two guns in the bureau!"

"Hurry, hurry, change into your police uniform! We're going to meet an important person, so dress properly!"

"I just saw Qin Sheng alive in my life. I can brag about this for the rest of my life!"

As everyone was in a panic, someone quietly said something disappointing. It was the young man named Azhi.

"We can't go with so many people, there aren't enough cars."

Liu Aqiang was the one who was looking for the gun. He stood up and kicked Azhi, "You can't rent a car if you don't have one. There are not many people in the bureau, so renting three cars will be enough. I'll pay for the rental. Go!"

Ah Zhi didn't care about the kick, patted his butt, and happily went to rent a car. The people in the police station also cheered:

"Long live Liu Sri!"

"Brother Qiang is so kind, I'll treat you to dinner when I get back!"

…

Lin Jianyan asked Qin Wu's gang to tie up Wang Biao's five street thugs with ropes. Each of them dragged them to the entrance of the alley. Their loud noise had already attracted people's attention. The brave ones had already leaned out of the building to look, and the timid ones also opened a crack in the window and squinted their eyes to look down.

Wang Biao was annoyed by the gazes of these people. He rushed forward angrily and yelled, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a handsome guy?"

Lin Jianyan clicked his tongue impatiently, and Abao was very tactful and kicked Wang Biao, knocking him to the ground.

Wang Biao spat out two mouthfuls of dirt and dared not move or speak.

After waiting for a while, Lin Jianyan saw two shabby police cars, followed by three taxis, driving over.

Seeing the two police cars, Lin Jianyan couldn't help but twitch his lips. Some of them were still drivable, but the bodies of the cars were painted in a mess with who knows what paint, one of the headlights was broken, and the front hood was smashed.

But thinking about the public security in this area, Lin Jianyan could only sigh helplessly. These scums are really lawless and even the police can't control them.

But then again, the police are also human beings, they also need to eat, they have children and elderly people at home, and it’s no big deal if they catch a small one, because there are older ones behind them, and the police are also afraid of their revenge.

The current situation is caused by the fact that the higher-ups don't care. The more they don't care, the more rampant they become. It's a vicious cycle. The current governor is a man who does nothing but follow the wind. He has turned a blind eye to the situation since the treaty was signed. He only sees the prosperity in front of him and doesn't care about the suffering of the lower-class people.

Oh, it's not that we don't care. We have established a police station. Although it's a makeshift team, it won't be a target of criticism.

Lin Jianyan glanced at Qin Wu, who was fidgeting and always wanted to hook his hand, and suppressed the complicated feelings in his heart.

I hope God is right about you.
