"I believe Wagner believed that Jiayi had considered the order she issued at that moment, so he did not question it." Tannen patted Wagner on the shoulder and gave Superintendent Huang a gentle smile, tactfully easing the atmosphere at the moment.
Wagner turned his eyes to Tannen, but his face did not show a smile or other expressions of gratitude because of T's mediation.
He still had a serious face and stood there straight. He was 39 years old and still stubborn because of being scolded.
Superintendent Huang still did not say a word.
When the two people in the stalemate are determined enough, no matter how others try to smooth things over, it will be in vain.
Tannen turned to look at Sanfu and Huang Xiangjie in the small window awkwardly, and decided to stay out of it.
The tension between Inspector Huang and Wagner was almost at a freezing point, and Wagner spoke in a deep voice:
"Up to the point where she ordered the suspect to be taken back to the interrogation room for detention, I agree with all the orders given by Inspector Yi Jiayi. If she keeps performing well, why should I interrupt her decision-making?"
Inspector Huang frowned slightly, vaguely realizing that although Wagner and Yi Jiayi had only been together for half a day, he had already developed a considerable degree of dependence on her.
He suppressed the urge to sigh, calmed down and said slowly:
"Not interrogating her right away may not be a decision she made after careful consideration, but an oversight?
"Wagner, you came to this team as an inspector, isn't it to monitor whether Yi Jiayi Shazhan's work is reliable, and remind her when she makes mistakes, and become her strong leader? "No matter
how talented young people are, they are still young people after all. Lack of experience, not being able to think things through, etc. are all problems of young people."
The middle level is a very important buffer in the work of front-line detectives.
If Wagner was a seasoned veteran of the serious crime team like Fang Zhenyue, it would be fine, but he is a 'new leader' transferred from another team. If he is not alert enough and cannot spread a net to catch all the mistakes that may occur in Team B, wouldn't that be very dangerous?
Superintendent Huang said earnestly that the reason why he chose Team B as the first transition team for Wagner's transfer to the Serious Crime Unit was because although Yi Jiayi was a new sergeant, she was indeed very talented and had a high rate of solving cases. She could support Wagner, the new inspector.
This is a safe move, but on the other hand, it is actually a risky move.
Yi Jiayi has been following Fang Zhenyue since she came into contact with the case.
The whole police force knows that although Fang Zhenyue, the troublemaker, is rebellious, he has an extraordinary talent in the work of investigating cases, and is also a genius in managing leaders and subordinate detectives.
The significance of this personnel transfer now is that Superintendent Huang also needs to know whether Yi Jiayi is an all-round capable person who can handle cases independently or a genius who can only be used with the support of Fang Zhenyue.
Therefore, by transferring Wagner to Team B, Superintendent Huang actually used two refining stones -
one to refine Wagner and one to refine Yi Jiayi.
But if Wagner completely leaves Yi Jiayi alone as soon as he joins Team B, then wouldn't the refining stone for Wagner be completely ineffective?
How can Superintendent Huang judge where Wagner's strength lies?
Not to mention such an important job as the Serious Crime Unit, is it all left to Yi Jiayi, a newcomer who has not been fully tested before, to do whatever she wants?
What if something goes wrong?
Should the responsibility be borne by Inspector Wagner or Yi Jiayi? Or should it be borne by him, the superintendent who approved the transfer order?
Even if he, the superintendent, takes the blame, Yi Jiayi, the young talent whom he values very much, suddenly suffered a major blow. Would she be shattered after hitting the cliff without any buffer?
After being shattered... If a person loses confidence and begins to doubt his own decision, it will be difficult for his talent to be brought into play.
Wouldn't the police force be sad to lose the talent that was hard to cultivate?
Would Wagner also think that he is not suitable for the serious crime unit and no longer try to return to the front-line department?
Then the police force would lose two talents.
He has to take the blame and bear the loss of two generals.
Does Huang Zhongcheng look like a fool who would let the situation develop like this and betray his superior?
He believes that his layout is very forward-looking, and the judgment of everyone in the exchange order is accurate, so he will never allow any link to fail to play his role. He
feels even more that Wagner's so-called recognition of Yi Jiayi is completely a sophistry for dereliction of duty.
It is destroying the wise decision of his serious and rigorous superior!
"A genius agent like Yi Jiayi Shazhan is like a golf ball running sideways, very powerful and good.
"And us old guys are like the net set up outside the golf course.
"No matter how wildly the golf ball flies, even if it rushes out of the court, it can be stopped to prevent it from falling into the road and being hit by a car, or falling into the river and being drowned.
"Wagner, do you understand what I mean?"
This is the painstaking effort of his old superior.
Wagner did not interrupt his old superior's long lecture from beginning to end, but his face did not show the docile expression that his old superior expected.
He still had a stern look, and the deep vertical wrinkles between his eyebrows were deeply engraved there even when he was not frowning. He looked solemn and miserable, and was so old-fashioned and stubborn that it made people angry.
"Insist on your own ideas?" Superintendent Huang saw through Wagner's true thoughts at a glance, "Do you think it's right to let Yi Jiayi go? "
Wagner did not answer 'yes', nor did he deny it. Instead, he said,
"I will call Yi Jiayi now and ask her whether the order of 'detention and later interrogation' she issued was wrong."
Stubborn! Too stubborn!
Superintendent Huang was so angry that he looked up to the sky and sighed.
Now the question is whether Yi Jiayi is right or not? The problem is that Wagner does not question the decision of his subordinates.
But Huang Zhongcheng understood that if he continued to tangle with Wagner about this issue, Wagner would definitely ask, 'Since you believe she is doing the right thing, why do you interfere?', as if he, Huang Zhongcheng, must let Wagner show off his authority.
Wagner seemed to have no idea about management.
Superintendent Huang simply waved his hand:
"OK, call her now."
…
A few minutes later, Wagner and Superintendent Wong gathered in a triangle around an old landline phone in a small dark room next to the interrogation room, where they were checking the closed-circuit television.
When Jiayi's voice rang on the other end of the phone, Wagner glanced at the people around him and said to Jiayi truthfully:
"Now the people on the phone are me, Superintendent Wong, and Specialist Inspector Tannen."
It's a public broadcast.
Jiayi immediately got some information from W Sir's words and smelled a hint of gunpowder.
After a closer look, she realized the thoughtfulness of Wagner's words. He gave her enough information so that she could be more prepared to deal with it.
Hiding her gratitude and all her thoughts, she only greeted all the superiors on the other end of the phone in a slightly wooden manner, and then stopped talking, waiting calmly for the other party to explain their intentions.
Xu Shaowei walked out from the back kitchen and asked in a low voice: "Who's calling?"
Jiayi stretched out a finger and pressed it on her lips, signaling him to be quiet.
Xu Shaowei said no more, but leaned over the counter obediently, slightly moving closer to the microphone held by Jiayi, wanting to listen to the voice on the other side.
Jiayi did not refuse and acquiesced to his little move.
Finally, a voice came from the other end of the phone again. It was Wagner:
"The suspect Huang Xiangjie is now being detained in the interrogation room, and Sanfu is confronting him.
"There is a question here. Why didn't Huang Xiangjie be interrogated as soon as he was arrested, but kept delaying?
"Are you waiting for something? Or is it just because you don't have time to push the interrogation forward?"
Tannen, who was standing next to Wagner, was suddenly pulled into a sense of crisis and quietly took a step back, wanting to escape unscathed from this battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder.
Even his breathing became more cautious, and Tannen tried his best to be an outsider and avoid all the invisible flying swords in this confrontation.
Jiayi, who was sitting at the counter of Xianji Ice House, also smelled the danger signal, her expression gradually became cautious, and her eyes gradually became gloomy.
She was keenly aware of the details in Wagner's wording: 'There is a question here', not 'I have a question'.
If it wasn't Wagner who had the question, then who would it be?
Tannen probably couldn't instruct Inspector W to make this call, so it could only be Superintendent Huang.
What does it mean that the chief of the serious crime unit is asking about this matter?
Although Jiayi is not yet a workplace expert, the ability of "reasoning" and "observing others" that she has cultivated during this period of time has come into play.
She only did a simple thought and roughly deduced:
1. There is a sense of rejection in Wagner's tone;
2. Superintendent Huang put pressure on Wagner.
However, what is the problem with detaining Huang Xiangjie for a later trial that would cause Inspector Wagner to be blamed by Superintendent Huang?
How should she answer this question in a targeted manner?
Jiayi faced the cabinet behind the counter of Xianji where wine and snacks were placed, her brows were locked, and she tried to discern the mystery.
Xu Shaowei kept his ear away from the receiver and moved away to see Jiayi's expression.
At this moment, he realized the pressures faced by a young woman taking up the position of sergeant.
She is no longer just a detective. She cannot only consider handling cases, but also has to coordinate more relationships within the police force and deal with superiors and subordinates and all brother departments.
Taking a deep breath quietly, Xu Shaowei's brows also locked.
This is also the thing he can't handle the most. When he just joined the police force, he refused his superior's cigarette because he didn't smoke. The things he experienced afterwards made him frown -
the ridicule, rejection, and exclusion from colleagues and seniors, all the social feedback that reinforced "Xu Shaowei's incompetence" were like a mark of shame on his face, making him uneasy.
Shame is the most unforgettable emotion in the world, and it is also the most painful emotion that people don't want to remember.
Xu Shaowei's arm muscles, which were originally relaxed on the table, tightened, and his palms clenched into fists unconsciously.
His eyes gradually became cold, and he stared at the microphone in Jiayi's hand, as if he was brewing a flame that could burn it to ashes.
