Chapter 2 Pilot Volume 02 The new member of the Ninth Investigation Team of Serious Cases, Jing Jue...
Chapter 2
When I worked in the Serious Crime Squad, I seldom wore a police uniform. Most of the time I wore plain clothes and only wore a police uniform on special days.
Lu Changfeng looked left and right in the mirror, then turned around and asked Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang: "Is there anything wrong?"
Qiu Shaoyang made an OK gesture: "No problem, I'm fine, a handsome uncle."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and took a photo of Lu Changfeng's front, and instructed him: "Turn around, I'll take a photo of your back as well."
Lu Changfeng did as he was told.
After Qiu Shaoyang finished taking the photo, he sent it to the group and said to Lu Changfeng, "Take a look for yourself."
Ming Tang: "Very handsome, now he can directly shoot commercials for the publicity department."
"If you don't leave now, it will be too late. You don't want to be late on your first day at work," he urged.
Qiu Shaoyang said: "He goes to work at 8 o'clock, and it's only 7:10 now."
Mingtang: "It never hurts to go a little earlier. You can't go at 8 o'clock on the first day. You have to leave a good impression on your leaders and subordinates."
There is nothing wrong with this.
Lu Changfeng thought so too.
Mingtang has to report to the Party School today. After sending Lu Changfeng to the police station, Qiu Shaoyang will also send Mingtang there.
He rented a car and went to the police station from where Lu Changfeng lived. It was only a few hundred meters away. After turning left and walking 300 meters, the police station was diagonally across the traffic light.
Qiu Shaoyang gave Lu Changfeng a ride for a while and stopped at the door of the police station.
Lu Changfeng took a deep breath and said to them, "Then I'll get off the car. Please drive slowly on the road."
"Don't worry."
Mingtang felt nervous too, and said to Lu Changfeng, "I wish you all the best on your first day in office. Come on."
"You too." Lu Changfeng opened the car door and got out.
The guard at the door also came over and asked Qiu Shaoyang to drive away, "You can't park your car in front of the police station casually--"
"Let's go now." Qiu Shaoyang said to Mingtang with a smile, "Is it like sending a child to school?"
Lu Changfeng waved goodbye to the two men and turned to ask the guard: "I am a new police officer. May I ask how to get to the Ninth Investigation Team of the Criminal Investigation Department?"
"Go in through the main entrance, take the stairs on the left and go up to the fourth floor, which is where the serious crime squad is. You'll find it there naturally."
Lu Changfeng followed the instructions of the guard at the door and went to the fourth floor on the left. It was written on the sign on the wall that the fourth floor was the Criminal Investigation Department.
The office is right upstairs, and the serious crime squad is on the left.
Lu Changfeng took his appointment documents and other information to report to his leader, but his leader had not arrived yet, so he sat on a chair at the edge of the office area and waited.
Around 7:40, Yue Fanglin came over with soy milk and fried dough sticks. When he saw him, he waved to him: "Changfeng, how long have you been here?"
Lu Changfeng stood up and said, "It's been a while."
The two shook hands politely.
Yue Fanglin said: "Come with me to the office first. I will take you to familiarize yourself with our office."
"Okay." Lu Changfeng followed Yue Fanglin.
Yue Fanglin said: "When you come to Yancheng, you should contact me first. I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment and help you arrange accommodation and meals."
"How nice of you to come here quietly without telling me in advance."
"I'm afraid of trouble you." Lu Changfeng told the truth.
Yue Fanglin grumbled, "I don't like the way you talk. What trouble is this? As your new partner, I have the obligation to help you get familiar with the environment here as quickly as possible so that you can get into the right state as soon as possible."
He said, "I am also a sincere person. We have worked together before, and you know me. I am a sincere person. Don't be afraid of troubling me in the future. Just trouble me and I will do my best to help you."
"Okay, I just got here, so I'm going to trouble you a lot."
Yue Fanglin led Lu Changfeng into the office of Group 9. The office area was clean and tidy, with a large table in the middle and an electronic display screen opposite.
"This is where we will hold small meetings to analyze the case. Opposite are the team members' posts, and inside is our office." Yue Fanglin looked at the time. It was not yet seven fifty.
He said, "We have several new people reporting to our serious crime unit today. I think the leader will be here soon. Come with me to check out your office."
"Our nine groups are all here today, so we are officially established."
It has been some time since the ninth group was listed, and during this period Yue Fanglin has been a lone commander.
Everyone has been reorganized and transferred here to form a new team. The new team needs to be run-in, and no one knows how long this will take.
Lu Changfeng saw his new office, which was next to Yue Fanglin's. The office had good sunlight and there were green plants on the table.
Yue Fanglin said, "Wait for another team member. When he arrives, I will take you two to see the director."
Lu Changfeng asked: "How many people are there in our group?"
"There are four of us in total. You and I, a technical backbone, and an intern. The technical backbone was transferred from another team. We already had some connections. The other one was parachuted in. I only received the notice last week. I don't know how important he is."
Lu Changfeng did not ask any further questions. After all, after reporting to the leader, he would get to know the people in the team and then work together to adjust to each other.
At 7:50, voices were heard outside.
"This is Group 9. Captain Yue should be here. Wait, I'll go and call for you."
Then there was a knock on the office door. "Team Yue, are you here?"
Yue Fanglin replied: "I'm here, what's wrong?"
He said to Lu Changfeng: "This is our team member, Zhou Yu."
He stood up and called Lu Changfeng: "Let's go, it's time for us to go out."
Zhou Yu said outside the door: "The new members of our group have arrived."
"Got it, I'll be right out." Yue Fanglin said to Lu Changfeng behind him, "It's great, let's get to know each other."
Lu Changfeng nodded, followed Yue Fanglin, and walked out of the office one after another.
There were only four people in the room, so Yue Fanglin naturally knew who was the new report.
Lu Changfeng looked up and saw Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu also saw him and greeted him quickly, "This must be Captain Lu. Hello, I am Zhou Yu. If there are any shortcomings in my work in the future, please be tolerant, Captain Lu."
Lu Changfeng smiled at him and said, "Let's encourage each other."
Yue Fanglin looked at the only unfamiliar person, and Lu Changfeng also looked over.
The man stood straight, with a shaved head and wheat-colored skin. Lu Changfeng was distracted, as he was very familiar with this man's face.
Lu Changfeng stood there in a daze. It was Jing Jue, the person he had traveled north to search for, the one he had missed and worried about every day, the one he had watched grow up since childhood.
She disappeared without a trace for three years, but suddenly appeared before his eyes again.
Lu Changfeng just looked at him, not sure what expression he had. His heart was filled with mixed emotions, including the joy of reunion, anger at him leaving without saying goodbye, and sadness at him not saying a word for the past few years.
"New member of the Ninth Major Crime Investigation Team, Jing Jue, reports in."
A familiar voice sounded, and Lu Changfeng regained his senses. He looked at the person in front of him with sore eyes.
In the past, he took good care of Jing Jue, and he was fair and clean. Now, the person in front of him had more three-dimensional facial features than in previous years, and he was stronger, looked more energetic and stable, and his skin color had turned wheat-colored.
This was the first time Lu Changfeng saw Jing Jue in police uniform.
It was completely different from what he imagined.
He didn't know what Jing Jue had gone through in the past few years since they were apart to become like this.
Yue Fanglin's voice rang out, "Hello, I'm Yue Fanglin, the leader of Group Nine." He pointed at Lu Changfeng beside him and said, "This is Lu Changfeng, your deputy leader."
What he didn't know was that Jing Jue was very familiar with the person next to him. There had been countless late nights when he had to rely on Lu Changfeng to hold him in his arms and coax him into sleep before he could fall asleep.
Lu Changfeng would send him to school, take him hiking on weekends, take him out to play during the summer vacation, spend the New Year with him, celebrate his birthday with him, and visit his parents' graves with him.
Jing Jue looked at Lu Changfeng with calm eyes, and outsiders would never notice that they knew each other before.
His tone was distant and polite: "Hello, Captain Lu, please bear with me in the future work."
Lu Changfeng was also a man who had experienced many ups and downs. He suppressed all his emotions when he heard the distant tone and responded politely and distantly. His attitude towards him and Zhou Yu was no different. "Let's encourage each other."
A man suddenly appeared at the door and knocked on their office door. "Old Yue, take the newcomer to report to Director Yu."
Yue Fanglin nodded. The person who informed him was the leader of Group 8, Du Zekai.
Du Zekai looked unhappy, as if something had happened, and left in a hurry.
The leader had arrived with a worried look on his face. When he saw Yue Fanglin leading Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue in, his expression softened a little and he stood up and shook hands with the two of them.
Half an hour later, several people walked out of the office.
Only then did they know why their leader was unhappy.
A member of Group 8 was supposed to report here today, but he drowned on the way here while trying to save someone, and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. His mother is the president of Huacheng Court, and his father is the mayor of Fancheng, so they are both from a prominent family. Du Zekai left in a hurry and went to the hospital.
The leader also has to rush over now. He has to stay there before the other party's family arrives. If something happens, although they don't have to take responsibility, it will be difficult to explain to the other party's parents.
Lu Changfeng asked Yue Fanglin: "Captain Yue, how do I get to the bathroom?"
Yue Fanglin pointed to the end of the corridor and said, "Turn left at the end and you'll find the restroom. The tea room is on the right."
"Okay, thank you." Lu Changfeng handed the things to Yue Fanglin, "Captain Yue, please help me take it back to the office."
Yue Fanglin took it.
Lu Changfeng walked towards the bathroom.
After entering the bathroom, Lu Changfeng was immediately deflated. He found a cubicle, closed the door, leaned against the door panel, and his legs became weak.
The reunion with Jing Jue made him unable to calm down. Jing Jue always kept a distance from him, and Lu Changfeng felt indescribably uncomfortable.
He didn't know what he was expecting, and there couldn't be any other reaction between them in the workplace.
He couldn't ask Jing Jue where he had been in the past few years, nor could he ask him why he had to transfer the living expenses back to him.
There are many, many, many words that can be said in any occasion, except today.
One of them is the new deputy leader of Group Nine, and the other is a new member of Group Nine.
Lu Changfeng tried hard to calm down and make it look as if there was nothing wrong.
It is much better than suddenly disappearing without a trace and leaving no one know whether he is alive or dead.
Lu Changfeng, it’s great to see Jing Jue again.
He said this to himself.
After adjusting his mood, Lu Changfeng opened the door and walked out of the cubicle, ready to wash his face and calm down before going back to face Jing Jue.
He felt a force coming towards him, pushing him back into the cubicle.
Before he could see who it was, the man entered the compartment.
It’s obvious that it can only be Jing Jue.
