Chapter Thirty-Five, Return
"Lei Zai, I haven't seen you in four years. You have grown taller and stronger. Now you can beat the three before." Lei Weidong met Uncle Biao at the entrance and exit of Kai Tak International Airport in Hong Kong.
We haven’t seen each other for more than four years. Uncle Biao has become a lot fatter and older, and has more white hair on his head. Of course, the biggest change is the police rank. Now Uncle Biao is a senior inspector, and his image is exactly the same as in Police Story 1.
"Uncle Biao, congratulations on becoming a senior inspector. This is a gadget I bought in the UK as a gift for your promotion." Looking at Uncle Biao who was smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, Lei Weidong put the prepared gifts
Take it out.
"Congratulations to me, congratulations to you." He opened the car door and let Lei Weidong get in. Uncle Biao, who was sitting in the driver's seat, put away the gift with a smile.
"Lei Zai, you became an inspector when you were less than 20 years old. Although the police force has recruited many highly educated young talents in recent years, they have been allowed to hold the title of inspector and enter the administrative department that does not require credit as soon as they graduate.
But a young inspector like you is still the only one, so do your job well and don’t embarrass us old people."
"Don't worry, Uncle Biao, I haven't wasted my time in the UK these past few years. Not to mention my bachelor's degree, I have obtained two master's degrees. In terms of academic qualifications, I am no worse than anyone else in the police force. Give me a few years, Dr.
I can get them all.”
"Master's degree, there are still two, awesome Lei Zai, now you have finally grown up, and Lao Lei can rest in peace." Thinking of his old friend, Uncle Biao's eyes became a little wet.
"I still remember the day when you first went on duty, when I drove you on patrol. The scene was exactly the same as now."
"It can't be said that they are exactly the same. At that time, Uncle Biao was still a sergeant and now he is a senior inspector, and I am no longer the kid who didn't even finish Form Three."
Thinking of the past days, Lei Weidong also felt a little melancholy. Time passed so fast, and several years passed in the blink of an eye.
"Yes, time flies too fast." Uncle Biao nodded and sighed.
"Uncle Biao, where will the files be transferred when I come back this time?" Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Lei Weidong took the initiative to change the topic.
"Where else can we go? Of course we go back to the Central Police Station. That's your natal family." Speaking of Lei Weidong's work, Uncle Biao smiled, "I have already made an agreement with the director to let you serve as the head of the serious crime team.
Chief, in charge of the serious crime team."
"Thank you Uncle Biao for your care."
When Lei Weidong heard that Uncle Biao asked him to take charge of the serious crime team, Lei Weidong expressed his sincere gratitude.
The leader of the serious crime team is not unusual, because a serious crime team may have several teams, but it is different if he is responsible for the serious crime team. If he manages a department alone, he will have much greater power. Lei Wei also said
As soon as Dong came back, he entered the management level of the police force.
He has crossed a level that many police officers cannot reach in their lifetime.
"Uncle Biao, you just said director, is that the ghost director from before?" Lei Weidong asked again,
"Of course not. In the past, the director who was a ghost was captured by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. He spent several years in prison and returned to his hometown with the money from corruption. Now the director is also a ghost and was transferred from the UK.
But I’m not talking about him. I’m talking about Deputy Commissioner Lin Meng. He’s a Chinese. He was transferred from Shau Kei Wan District. He’s a veteran police chief like me. But he’s better than me. He graduated from Form 5 and studied for two years.
Preparatory course.
It was nothing in the past, but now, those with academic qualifications can be promoted quickly, and they became the deputy chief of the police station when they were a few years younger than me.
This time you were able to take charge of the Serious Crime Unit, and it was Director Lin who overcame all objections and suppressed the opposition in the department. It is said that Chen Xijiu worked hard afterwards, and it was not in vain that you took care of his wife and children all these years.
However, Director Lin took good care of the brothers and took a lot of troubles for them after he arrived, especially a newcomer named Chen Jiaju. He was capable of catching thieves and was brave, but he was too easy to get into trouble. If not for the protection of Director Lin,
I have been sent to guard the pond a long time ago."
Chen Jiaju, Lei Weidong smiled when he heard this familiar name.
According to the information, Chen Jiaju joined the Hong Kong Police Force in 1980, which is at this time, but he did not expect that the other party would become his subordinate. Under his leadership, he wonders whether Chen Jiaju will be as brave and foolhardy as in the movie.
Uncle and Director Lin were playing around.
"Uncle Biao, what is the situation in the police force? Is it the same as before? Can you tell me about it." Thinking about returning to the police force, Lei Weidong wanted to know the situation in advance.
"Of course, it's not a secret." Uncle Biao said, "Compared with before, we have a lot more Chinese police officers, including not only inspectors but even superintendents.
But the rights are much smaller than before.
In the past, Brother Luo dominated the world with one hand, with a low position but high power.
The chief of the police station is like a puppet. He can't do anything with just money. That's no longer possible. The ghost guy has dispersed the powers of the detective to various departments, and they are all controlled by the ghost guy, not only in the main department, but also in the branch offices.
Covering the sky with one hand.
Although we Chinese have advantages in front-line, serious crime, anti-gang, and drug trafficking departments, the promotion path is firmly controlled by ghost guys. For the inspectors and below, the decision can be made within the department.
This is not possible for inspectors, who must pass exams and interviews.
If the ghost guy says you can do it, you can do it. If he says you can't do it, you can't do it. So among the Chinese, the fastest-promoted people are the banana people.
For old people like us, the person with the fastest promotion is Wong Bing-yao, who serves as the director of Wan Chai, and the other highest-ranking person is Director Lam. It can be said that compared to the 1970s, our status as Chinese is lower.
"It's okay, Uncle Biao. The current situation is due to the reform of the police force, and we Chinese have not adapted. No matter how bad the environment is, it can still be worse than the 1950s and 1960s. Brother Luo can rise under that situation, why can't we.
"
Seeing that Uncle Biao was feeling a little depressed, Lei Weidong cheered him up.
"It's different." Uncle Biao shook his head and said:
"There are many factors responsible for Luo Ge's rise. The most important thing is that the British needed spokespersons to help him make money, which allowed him to gain control. Now that Gui Lao has personally ended his career, there is no chance for us."
"There is no chance inside, but what about the outside." Lei Weidong pointed to the north and said, "Uncle Biao should have heard the message over there."
"Of course I heard it. It's such a big deal. I'd be surprised if I didn't know about it. But what does this have to do with us? Xiangjiang is a colony, and the ghosts are the masters. The north..."
"Of course it does matter. Uncle Biao, in addition to studying law and financial management in the UK, I also dabbled in political science. I am not sure whether Xiangjiang will go left or right in the future, but one thing is certain, that is, the British army has been abolished and it has become a
