Chapter 7 Chapter 7 This girl is really smart
"Acheng, why are you here?"
"If you come, why can't I come over?" Ji Mingcheng obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with his presence here.
Lu Jianian had a rare headache. "I came to the mainland because my grandfather is old, but do you have any relatives in the mainland? Your uncles and aunts will be worried if you come here."
"When did you become so nagging?" Ji Mingcheng glanced at Lu Jianian.
"I'm here just to make them worry, so they can think carefully about whether it's more important for them to arrange a blind date for me, or whether it's more difficult to accept not being able to see their son."
Ji Mingcheng is a strong-willed person who never changes his mind. Once he makes a decision, no one can change it. It is estimated that this time his family really annoyed him, so they followed him here.
Thinking of this, Lu Jianian felt a little sorry for the elders of the Ji family.
After all, having grown up wearing open-crotch pants, Ji Mingcheng could guess what he was thinking after just one glance and immediately interrupted him, "Stop, don't overthink it. This time, I can only say that 50% of the reason is due to my family, and the other half, guess what it is."
Lu Jianian frowned, feeling indeed very strange.
He became a sergeant in Hong Kong at a young age and had a bright future. However, it seemed unreasonable that he suddenly returned to the mainland just because of family matters.
After all, no matter how hard his family urged him to get married, it would just go in one ear and out the other. If they were really angry, his family would have to go through the trouble of trying to appease him. In his opinion, there was really no need for him to come here in anger just to be urged to get married.
So the possible scenario is...
"Did the Hong Kong government decide this?"
This was the only possibility Lu Jianian could think of.
Ji Mingcheng snapped his fingers and threw him an ID.
Lu Jianian took it and looked at him sideways.
Ji Mingcheng suddenly revealed a flamboyant smile, revealing his pride. "Forensic Doctor Lu, please call me Inspector Ji from now on."
Lu Jianian thought about it again and again, and still didn't think he was mistaken. His tone finally lost its usual calmness, "Didn't you become a sergeant last year?"
How long has it been since he became an inspector? You know how many people still can't become a sergeant by the time they retire. How old is he, and how long has it been?
Even if it was just a junior inspector, that was a terrifying speed of promotion.
Lu Jianian really wanted to know what had happened in the less than half a month since he left that allowed his position to rise so rapidly.
Qiu Jiang watched as Forensic Doctor Lu, who had been very steady since they met, broke down. So even though she didn't know what the official position they were talking about was equivalent to the police rank here, it didn't prevent her from understanding that this "Captain Ji" was very powerful in Hong Kong and had been promoted this time.
But then again, if he wasn't that powerful, the city's top leaders wouldn't have come to pick him up and be so friendly.
But what she didn't know was that it wasn't just the city's top leader who came to pick him up. In fact, when he first arrived, it was the leader from the provincial capital who came to entertain him. However, after he finished dealing with them, he drove over on his own, saying that he wanted to start work quickly.
Even though she had never been to Hong Kong, she knew that place was very prosperous and very different from the mainland. So why would such a powerful police officer in Hong Kong come to the mainland?
It doesn't look like the family is forcing the marriage.
Qiu Jiang was young after all, and she couldn't control her curiosity, so she pried up her ears to listen when they talked.
Of course, she didn't dare to do it too obviously. She leaned her cheek against the window as if observing the hustle and bustle outside, but her attention was not on the outside at all.
Ji Mingcheng had nothing to hide from his childhood friend. While driving steadily, he casually said, "Although Hong Kong has returned to China, the connection between the two places is not deep. Both the Hong Kong government and the mainland will not neglect the development of all-round communication between the two places."
"Hong Kong police have previously conducted many joint arrest operations with their counterparts in inland and coastal areas, with great results. The higher-ups wanted to take this opportunity to organize a friendly exchange. The inland criminal investigation level is high, and the Hong Kong police are also quite good, using more scientific and advanced methods. Sharing our expertise is both a gesture of solidarity and a way to deepen our relationship. Why not?"
Lu Jianian understood this political consideration after listening to it.
"But why did you choose this place? Even if you came to the mainland, you should go to Jing City, Hai City or Chen City."
Anxi City is separated from Hong Kong by half of China and is only a prefecture-level city. It does not seem to be the best choice for conducting police exchanges between Hong Kong and mainland China.
Ji Mingcheng curled his lips and said, "If no one is willing to come, and someone finally signs up, shouldn't the higher-ups respect their opinion?"
Lu Jianian: "..."
He had no doubt that he really dared to make a request to his boss. He must have been scolded by his boss a lot during this period before he was able to get this matter done smoothly.
Now that the matter has been settled, there is no point in saying anything, Lu Jianian has no choice but to accept this fact.
Unfortunately, Ji Mingcheng had no intention of letting him go. "From now on, when our team performs autopsies, please pay more attention and expedite the process."
Lu Jianian was speechless more and more today. He paused for several times before he remembered to ask him, "Are you the captain of the city police criminal police team now?"
"No, deputy captain, the main squad is vacant and will be temporarily filled by the director in charge of the criminal police team."
This arrangement is understandable.
After all, it is impossible for him to stay in the inland all the time. In addition, due to his special status, it is not appropriate for him to be the captain, and it is even more impossible for him to be just an ordinary team member. This arrangement is indeed the best arrangement.
“How many teams?”
"Team Four."
"...I remember there were only three criminal police teams in Anxi City."
Ji Mingcheng raised his eyebrows, "Why, I can't form my own criminal police team?"
Lu Jianian, who was familiar with his style of doing things, was silent for two seconds.
“That person…”
"I won't be responsible for the other personnel. The Municipal Bureau will make the arrangements. I will select the core team members. The Municipal Bureau will make an announcement tomorrow. After the registration is closed, I will decide who will stay."
His standards were always high, and even if he came here, there was no way he would let them down. Could he really gather the team? And... were there others willing to sign up?
Lu Jianian was a little worried that he would be frustrated.
Ji Mingcheng forced a smile and said, "So you're suited to dealing with corpses. You have no political awareness at all, so it's impossible that no one would sign up."
He held up a finger. "First of all, the leaders here would never allow such a problem to occur. They will do everything they can to find the best personnel."
After saying that, he raised another finger and said, "Secondly, anyone who is not an idiot would not be unwilling to come."
"Having a record on my team is like having connections with Hong Kong and the broader political landscape on both sides. For one thing, when I'm gone, the captains of the four teams will definitely be chosen from among them. Furthermore, this will be a bright spot for their future promotions. As long as they don't make any major mistakes, they'll definitely be promoted faster than others. This kind of opportunity to overtake others is rare, so how could no one apply?"
Ji Mingcheng looked very confident. "Anyone who can figure this out can't be a fool. At least their IQ is fine. It will be much easier to select the core team members who agree with my requirements."
Promotion?
Qiu Jiang listened to every word in the back seat, focusing entirely on these two words.
If she joined, she would not only become a formal police officer with a regular job, but she might even be able to replace him as the captain after he left. Indeed, no one would be willing to miss such a good opportunity.
As the saying goes: Those who are close to the water get the moon first. Now that she knew the good news in advance, how could she bear to let it go.
"Team Season, I want to sign up, can I?"
Her tender hands were placed on the backs of the two seats. Through the rearview mirror, her eyes were shining, but her breathing became lighter, as if she was afraid of hearing a negative answer.
Ji Mingcheng raised his eyebrows, "Isn't the smart guy here?"
Lu Jianian was speechless for a moment.
Qiu Jiang's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Captain Ji."
"What did I say?" Ji Mingcheng glanced at the little girl who was good at taking advantage of others through the rearview mirror.
"Because Captain Ji likes smart people." And he just praised her for being smart, which already revealed a lot of information.
Qiu Jiang's eyebrows were curved, and she looked like she understood the leader's intentions very well.
For the first time, Ji Mingcheng felt a little embarrassed.
Seeing Ji Mingcheng choking, Lu Jianian couldn't help but laugh, "You're right, he's really smart."
"squeak--"
The sound of the sports car rubbing against the ground when it stops is like a reflection of someone's inner depression.
Knowing that she was about to annoy others, Qiu Jiang was very tactful and said goodbye and got out of the car in one go.
"Qiu..." When Ji Mingcheng rolled down the car window and was about to say something, a woman in her thirties, about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, wearing gray work clothes, came towards him on the opposite road. She had a sad look on her face, but when she saw Qiu Jiang, she smiled unconsciously.
"Jiang Jiang, it's time to get off work."
"Sister-in-law, I'm back——"
The little girl in front of the car immediately jumped over to this person when she saw him, and put her arms around her and acted coquettishly for a while, "Hey, I came back early today, thanks to Captain Ji and Forensic Doctor Lu for sending me off."
Shi Yuexiu also saw the expensive-looking car and the people sitting in it, and kept thanking them.
Ji Mingcheng and the other man nodded at her, said a few simple words to her, and then said goodbye and left. After the car turned around, Qiu Jiang was still holding the arm of the woman next to her, and kept talking about what happened today.
"I was really good today. Captain Ji just praised me for being smart."
Ji Mingcheng, who had sharp ears, heard these words and glanced through the rearview mirror again at her back as she jumped around in excitement to the point of forgetting everything else.
A little girl who is used to climbing a pole.
