In a very simple izakaya, Lu Ming drank and chatted with Yamamoto Choji, another police chief stationed at the station.
In addition, there is also the translator Takeshi Nakagawa who is stationed at the station. Originally, only one translator was assigned to each branch, but this station is quite special, so a translator was specially set up.
In Japan, there are many schools that offer courses in the Central Continent language. After all, it has various trade exchanges with the East China Sea, where the majority of Central Continent people are. Moreover, even if you are a nationalist, if you want to get involved in the Northern Territory, you will definitely need talents in the Central Continent language.
Yamamoto Choji can barely speak a few words of Nakasu dialect, and is studying hard.
Because the sergeant level is required to know Zhongzhou according to regulations, and even police officers need to pass the Zhongzhou test.
It's just that the Xianquan police system is new, so the requirements are not so strict. Not to mention that if you want to be further promoted in the future, you must be proficient in Zhongzhou dialect. If you want to be employed for a long time without being fired, the language barrier must be passed.
Both Yamamoto Choji and Nakagawa Ken had personal contact with Nakasu people for the first time, and they were both curious and slightly uneasy, worried about saying the wrong thing.
Yamamoto is twenty-forty-three years old and is a senior local police officer. He has a calm personality unique to Japanese people. To put it bluntly, he is rather gloomy.
Takenori Nakagawa is a young man who just graduated from Kyoto University. Because he was dissatisfied with the oppressive atmosphere in Kyoto, he came to Xianquan in search of free air. His current position is a bit unqualified for him, and it is also a temporary transition. In fact, he is preparing for the special district public director examination.
A department assistant position in the bureau.
Lu Ming was joking and chatting with them, and suddenly asked Yamamoto Choji: "Yamamoto-kun, is this the first time you find that kind of leaflet?"
Yesterday, during my patrol, I found leaflets in the shantytowns claiming that the Montenegrins were invaders. They also claimed that there were only tens of thousands of Montenegrins in Xianquan and thousands of troops stationed there. We Japanese righteous soldiers were not afraid of death and would trade one life for theirs.
It's easy to drive them away.
Proclaimed that all Japanese people should become righteous.
Hearing Lu Ming's words, Yamamoto Choji felt a chill in his heart. He thought carefully and said, "This is the second time. I have already reported it to the police station. The police station is handling it..."
He could barely understand Lu Ming's words and answered in Zhongzhou dialect.
Lu Ming nodded and looked at him: "Yamamoto-kun, what do you think about this matter? Do you think the person who posted the leaflets was organized or a few unscrupulous individuals?"
Yamamoto Choji hesitated for a moment, "I think there is an organization behind the incident, because a total of thirteen leaflets were found. In terms of paper, they are very expensive Jinchuan paper, which is a very high-quality paper.
The writing on it will not fade for a long time, but in Xianquan, for high-quality paper, we traditionally use Sanshang paper. The paper factory is in Aoyue City. In addition, there is Tokai paper that has just been put into production recently. It is low-priced and good-quality.
Therefore, I think the leaflets were printed in other places and then smuggled in in an organized manner."
He could not express this fluently in Zhongzhou dialect, but Nakagawa Ken translated it.
Lu Ming smiled: "Okay, Mr. Yamamoto's analysis is very good!" He raised his glass and said, "Come, let's drink!"
…
The next day, Lu Ming leisurely arrived at the station when he was about to get off work.
In the office, Gao Yi was reprimanding Yamamoto Choji because Yamamoto Choji failed to fill in some forms as required by him.
Seeing Lu Ming, his expression became darker: "Didn't I tell you to sign in on time every day?"
Lu Ming walked to Gao Yi's desk and picked up the form that caused trouble for Yamamoto Choji. It was a questionnaire that the police station asked the sergeants to fill out.
Lu Ming frowned: "Of course it's good to investigate the mental state of grassroots police officers, but what's the use of doing it every two days? Formalism also affects the police officers from doing their jobs." He smiled at Gao Yi: "Of course.
This is what is required from above and has nothing to do with you."
Looking at this lazy guy, Gao Yi couldn't help but say, "Get out of here right away and don't come back from tomorrow! I will hand over your file to the police station and ask the Human Resources Department to make other arrangements.
Your job."
Yamamoto Choji was stunned, seeing Gao Yi waving impatiently, he hurriedly pulled Lu Ming away who wanted to say something else.
When he arrived outside the office, he patted Lu Ming on the shoulder and said, "Zhang, I will take you to intercede with him tomorrow. Inspector Gao is still a very good person!" Obviously, this was a depressed Zhongzhou man.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Would you like to have a drink with me tonight?"
Yamamoto Choji hesitated, "Today is my wife's birthday..."
Lu Ming smiled: "Okay then! Another day!"
…
What Yamamoto Choji never expected was that in the evening, when he was having a happy gathering with his colleagues at home, Chief Zhang also came.
Yamamoto Choji lives on the second floor of a relatively simple apartment building, with an area of more than 30 square meters, and his family of five is squeezed in. His parents live in the countryside. He and his wife, Yamamoto Reiko, have a son and two daughters.
More than a dozen colleagues who were close friends with him came, including a few police chiefs from other districts, and the rest were police officers.
Lu Ming arrived unexpectedly, and the originally lively living room fell silent, which was a bit embarrassing.
Hearing someone whispering who was coming, Yamamoto Reiko hurriedly walked to Yamamoto Choji's side, bowed and said: "Welcome Officer Zhang!"
Yamamoto Choji came to his senses and hurriedly bowed to the guests with his wife.
Lu Ming came in with a smile: "Yamamoto-kun, Mrs. Yamamoto, I'm sorry to bother you. My wife heard that it's my colleague's birthday and she must come."
At this time, everyone's eyes were attracted by the beautiful girl who came in behind Lu Ming.
Erika was stunningly beautiful in a kimono and clogs. She bowed to the Yamamotos and excused herself, then handed a small and exquisite gift box to Reiko Yamamoto.
After coming in, he bowed to the Japanese police officers again, and they all quickly stood up.
At first, the atmosphere was tense, but soon, as Lu Ming toasted again and again, the table became lively again.
Erica helped Yamamoto Reiko in the kitchen and served various dishes on the table, which was completely traditional Japanese women's style.
Among the police chiefs, there was a man named Nomura Daiyoshi. He was younger and his Nakasu dialect was much better than Yamamoto Choji. He was a new police officer. He followed Yamamoto Choji and was not even considered an apprentice. But after the Montenegrins came, Nomura
Because Taiyi spoke fluently in Zhongzhou, he was quickly promoted to sergeant, leaving many senior police officers in their forties and fifties behind. It can only be said that fate is a matter of time.
Daiyoshi Nomura became the translator at the table.
"You have all worked with Sheriff Yamamoto for many years. I looked at the files and found out that Sheriff Yamamoto's analysis of the case was very unique!" Lu Ming said with a smile, "Can you tell me about Sheriff Yamamoto?"
Everyone started talking at once, Nomura Daiyoshi translated, and looked at Lu Ming thoughtfully.
That night, the guests and hosts had a great time.
Erica was probably the happiest person. Although she had been busy waiting for people for a long time, when she returned to her hometown and was taken by her husband to visit relatives and friends, and even mingled with the wife of her husband's colleague, she only felt that she was dreaming, a very
Wonderful dream.
…
The next morning, I suddenly received a notice to hold a meeting of police officers above the sergeant level at the police station.
In addition to on-duty and necessary left-behind police officers, all other police officers at sergeant level and above must attend the meeting.
The entire Xianquan police system has more than 1,100 police officers and sergeants, and 137 sergeants.
The original population of Xianquan was 120,000, but now it is more than 200,000. Looking at the trend, the population will soar rapidly.
Basically, today it's a police-to-population ratio of five per thousand.
In the auditorium of Xianquan Police Station, the police officers were sitting in a dark and orderly row.
Yamamoto Choji and Nomura Daiyoshi were standing next to each other, and they didn't know what to do in the meeting.
But a lot of things have happened recently, such as the home of Mr. Ashikaga, the chief director of the public affairs board, was attacked, and several branches reported the discovery of anti-Montenegro leaflets.
The police officers were a little uneasy, wondering if a major purge was going to be carried out.
Warm applause rang out, and on the rostrum, Director Lin Jianxin and others filed in and took their seats one by one.
Huh? Yamamoto Choji was slightly startled.
Director Lin Jianxin did not sit at the top of the table. Sitting in the middle of the podium was a middle-aged female officer.
Lin Jianxin introduced his identity as the deputy director of the Xianquan Special Work Department of the Principality's General Administration of Secrecy, named Tang Caini.
Everyone applauded.
Lin Jianxin's speech mainly mentioned terrorist organizations such as the New Day Society, and asked grassroots police officers to improve their anti-terrorism awareness, etc.
During a break in the meeting, a Nakasu police officer found Yamamoto Choji and took him to the lounge behind the auditorium.
Yamamoto Choji felt even more uneasy, entered the lounge, stood at attention and looked around.
There was a row of senior police officers sitting in the lounge, and the two in the middle were Director Lin and Minister Tang.
"Chief Yamamoto, the police department will set up a detective division to specifically target anti-Montenegro terrorist activities. The detective division will be led by both the police station and the special work department. Of course, it will be mainly led by Minister Tang." After a pause, Lin Jianxin
Looking at Yamamoto Choji with a smile, "Are you confident in leading the Detective Division? The manpower of the Detective Division will be completely chosen by you. The first thing to be detected is the reactionary leaflets where you were originally stationed."
Yamamoto Choji was stunned, his heart beating rapidly, he gritted his teeth and stood at attention, "Yes, I am confident!"
Lin Jianxin looked at Tang Caini, who smiled and said: "Look, let me tell you, the person I recommend will not be wrong."
Yamamoto Choji was even more confused. He didn't know how Minister Tang knew about him and recommended him for promotion.
In the following conference, Yamamoto Choji was even more like a dream. He was first promoted to the rank of senior inspector, and then appointed as the section chief of the newly formed Detective Division.
Later, Deputy Director Zhang announced a group of promoted police officers, all of whom were Japanese sergeants and were awarded the title of probationary inspector.
There was thunderous applause in the field. Although most Japanese police officers have not been promoted, it is obvious that today's conference has given them hope.
In particular, Officer Yamamoto was promoted to the rank of senior police officer and was also the first Japanese senior inspector. In the past, the highest police rank for Japanese people was inspector, and there were only two of them.
In his speech, Deputy Director Zhang encouraged Officer Yamamoto to work hard and strive to take over his duties in the future.
This also means that, at the very least, deputy director-level police officers will no longer be the exclusive preserve of Montenegrins and Westerners.
Moreover, in fact, before the Montenegrins came in the past, even at the level of senior inspector, without upper-class family lineage or connections to heaven, it was a no-brainer, let alone the level of deputy director.
Nowadays, ability is more important. Just like Police Officer Yamamoto, his ability to detect crimes is actually very famous in the Xianquan police system, but in the past, he could not be promoted to the position of sergeant.
But things are obviously different now, everyone can see hope.
The applause in the venue became louder and louder.
…
A few days later, Yamamoto Choji found Lu Ming at the Takeshita Town Station of the Fourth Branch, which is also the New District Branch.
The Detective Division is still under preparation, but Choji Yamamoto and the previous staff are already investigating the flyers. Choji Yamamoto also has the power to access all documents in the police station. Therefore, it was discovered that Officer Zhang Moyu was transferred to Takeshita Town.
The Takeshita Town Police Station is just a guard box, and the small guard box is where the station is stationed. Lu Ming is the police chief, plus four police officers.
This post is actually located near Zhengdong Company.
Lu Ming works as a police officer for an hour every night, patrolling the streets with police officers, going deep into the community and chatting with Japanese people. It feels good.
When he is usually away, Takeru Nakagawa will temporarily act as the police chief. This station should originally have a quota of four police officers.
Under Lu Ming's persuasion, Nakagawa Ken no longer prepared to take the civil service examination and officially joined the police force. When Lu Ming was away, he acted as the police chief of the station.
The police station is just a small guard box with a table and a few chairs, and three or four people can fill the room.
When Yamamoto Choji came, Lu Ming had just entered the guard box at nine o'clock in the evening. Ken Nakagawa and another police officer had arrived earlier, and they signed in on time at six o'clock.
This type of post is mainly for night police. They are on duty from evening to early morning of the next day. They patrol in several nearby communities in the evening. They are on duty in the post at night. Two police officers are also on duty during the day. Instead of patrolling, they will report any disputes.
The police were dispatched only after they were on duty at night, so they were rotated to daytime duty, which was more or less like taking a break.
This is also a special system in a special period. This area is relatively prosperous. There are often thieves at night, stealing or even robbing shops.
Seeing Yamamoto Choji, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Sir Yamamoto." He stood up to salute.
Yamamoto Choji hurriedly smiled and pressed his hand, saying: "You're welcome, I'm here to see you."
In fact, no matter how you think about it, you know that his promotion must have a major relationship with Officer Zhang.
Lu Ming smiled: "I can't go drinking with you while I'm on duty."
Nakagawa Ken smiled and said in fluent Zhongzhou dialect: "Brother Zhang, you go ahead, I'm here!" He was originally on duty during the day, but here there are only two people on duty at night. In essence, "Brother Zhang" is completely a non-staff person to join in the fun.
Yamamoto Choji also smiled and said: "I have some clues about the organization that sent the leaflets, but I also have some doubts. I would like to ask for your advice."
Lu Ming smiled: "It's pretty quick. I can't talk about giving advice. You can talk about it, but you have to keep it secret."
