12 o'clock noon.

The T-shaped intersection in the old street business district of East District is crowded with people.

The visual impact of this crowding is no less than the Spring Festival holiday.

The shopping frenzy and tourism frenzy have caused a sharp increase in the non-local population in Jiangnan City.

In just one morning, the flow of people near the East District Old Street business district increased 20 times compared to before.

In order to prevent a stampede, a zippered human wall composed of members of the police force came into play in the crowd.

Everyone follows the guidance of traffic lights and adopts a zipper wall to guide traffic.

Behind the zipper wall, there is also a diversion wall to control and divert the flow of people.

There are not only Jiangnan City police, but also Jiangnan City Armed Police soldiers.

Many young soldiers came here for the first time to perform support tasks, and they were also startled by the huge flow of people.

Not far away, Bai Xiaolan, Wu Jun and assistant Xiao He used their Jiangnan TV press credentials to find a space to stay in the center of the zipper wall.

Assistant Xiao He assumed a good camera position and took pictures of the zippered human wall composed of young armed police soldiers and policemen.

At the same time, Bai Xiaolan was also looking for traces of Gu Chen.

I sent him a lot of messages on WeChat, but got no reply from Gu Chen.

But considering how noisy the scene was, Gu Chen's criminal investigation team basically used walkie-talkies to communicate.

If you think about the mobile phone, forget about it.

Bai Xiaolan walked up to a second-level superintendent and asked him: "Excuse me, where is Gu Chen, the captain of the criminal investigation team of Furong Branch?"

"I don't know." The policeman responsible for coordinating traffic shook his head: "It's noisy here now. We all perform our duties. I really don't know where Team Gu is."

"Then can you ask for me?" The scene was very noisy, so Bai Xiaolan could only speak loudly in the ear of the second-level superintendent.

"Okay." Seeing that Bai Xiaolan is a reporter from Jiangnan TV, the second-level superintendent agreed.

Then, he started asking for Gu Chen's location via the walkie-talkie through a dedicated channel.

After several inquiries, the second-level superintendent finally found Gu Chen and quickly replied to Bai Xiaolan: "Reporter Bai, Gu Chen is also here, but he may be directing and coordinating from behind."

"Where is it behind?" Bai Xiaolan was not very clear about the police's deployment in this area, so she asked him curiously.

The second-level superintendent spun around in circles.

The crowd at the scene had already made the second-level superintendent confused.

After several rounds of waiting and watching, the second-level superintendent could only use the building as a target, pointed in a direction and said: "He is in that place. Go over there and see if you can find him."

Bai Xiaolan: "..."

Maybe this is the best joke I've heard today.

Of course, Bai Xiaolan also had to admit that in the current crowded reality, she was lucky to be able to move around at a snail's pace.

Bai Xiaolan thanked her, took Wu Jun and assistant Xiao He, and continued to squeeze in with the photography equipment.

It's not a long stretch of road and usually takes less than a minute to complete.

But now it takes a full 20 minutes.

Bai Xiaolan finally felt the feeling of being able to move once her feet were off the ground and being clamped by someone.

Arriving at the next diversion point, Bai Xiaolan finally saw Gu Chen, whom she had longed for.

At this time, Gu Chen was arranging work handover matters with the team members.

Bai Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief and weakly walked forward to say hello: "Gu Chen, I finally found you."

"What's wrong?" Seeing Bai Xiaolan's frustrated face, Gu Chen also asked her out of curiosity.

"Do you believe me when I tell you that I came from the air?" Bai Xiaolan rubbed her sore arm, feeling that her whole body was not well.

Gu Chen looked her up and down, and immediately understood what was going on. He said with a faint smile: "This is the most crowded place in the East District Old Street business district. How do you squeeze in here?"

"It's not just to interview you." Bai Xiaolan felt bitter, but what was more important now was to interview Gu Chen about his first day at work.

So he asked Gu Chen: "Are you going to change shifts?"

"Just changed, now I'm on duty."

"That's great." Looking back at Wu Jun and assistant Xiao He, Bai Xiaolan said quickly: "Teacher Wu, Xiao He, the combined camera positions, this angle is just right."

"Don't worry." Wu Jun assumed the best angle for the camera.

Today’s interview is different from yesterday’s. Today there is a huge flow of people. This terrifying background is enough to create a sense of camera.

Bai Xiaolan prepared the microphone, and when she saw photographer Wu Junsan finished the work, she naturally put aside her fatigue and faced the camera with full enthusiasm.

"Hello, audience friends, where I am now is in the core area of ​​the old street business circle in the East District of Jiangnan City."

"Everyone who followed me has seen it. It's just past 12 noon, and the flow of people has reached its peak."

"For tourists who still want to come here, I would like to remind you that you should travel during off-peak hours. It is already difficult to travel here."

"The distance that usually takes one minute to walk now takes at least 20 minutes, so this is also thanks to the hard work of the police comrades."

Bai Xiaolan turned around professionally, letting the camera follow the direction of her finger: "Everyone can see now that there is a police zipper wall not far away."

"This method can be said to be the biggest highlight during this year's Double Festival. So how does this method work and what are its benefits? Today we invited our old friend Gu Chen, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch."

"He happens to be on duty here today. Let's ask Captain Gu to talk about it."

The camera showed Gu Chen, Bai Xiaolan smiled at Gu Chen and said, "Hello, Captain Gu, I didn't expect that we would meet again here."

"Hello." Gu Chen nodded to Bai Xiaolan and said cooperatively.

"Then we know that the zipper wall is quite new this year. We have also seen that the zipper wall of the Jiangnan City Police Force is indeed effective in diversion. So can you tell us about this zipper wall?

Human wall?”

The microphone was handed to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen also bowed down, faced the camera and said with a smile: "In fact, taking effective measures to divert the flow of people in scenic spots is not only related to tourist experience, but also related to safety and security."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Perhaps during this year's Double Festival, everyone is very interested in the zippered human walls that appear in the bustling areas of Jiangnan City."

"You may see a group of armed police officers or members of the police force directing traffic using a zipper style."

"You can also see the police officers walking in unison, following the traffic lights, and opening and closing zippers to divert the crowd, which is very safe and efficient."

"That's right." Bai Xiaolan nodded in agreement and quickly answered: "This method is not only novel, but also safer and more efficient. In fact, this kind of zippered human wall has precedents in many big cities. Captain Gu

Can you tell us more in detail?"

"Yeah." Gu Chen took the microphone and said calmly: "The 'human wall' duty model to divert passenger flow actually first appeared in Shanghai around 2014."

"This innovative model not only plays a key role in diverting people and traffic during the festival, but also becomes a unique Internet celebrity landscape."

"Therefore, many places have also adopted this duty model. For example, during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day this year, the same zipper-type human wall appeared in Hongyadong, Chongqing City. Their local police used their bodies to form a switch-type zipper human wall.

Protect tourists from crossing the road safely and keep road vehicles flowing smoothly."

"Of course, many other big cities are also using this model. We in Jiangnan City have also made timely adjustments based on the new situation of continuous increase in passenger traffic at various business district outlets in recent years to ensure the travel safety of tourists."

"Yeah." Bai Xiaolan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and also said in cooperation:

"Well, Team Gu, we know that zipper human walls are good, but there are also many netizens who are generous in praising zipper human walls, such as 'handsome', 'heroic' and so on."

"But behind the uniform zippered wall, we see a huge investment in security. Can Team Gu tell us more about this? How many police officers are you dispatching?"

Gu Chen grinned, feeling that Bai Xiaolan had asked the right person, and he knew this very well.

So Gu Chen smiled lightly and said: "In fact, just at the T-shaped intersection of the pedestrian street in the East District Old Street business district, there are four groups of zippered human walls composed of nearly 60 armed police officers and soldiers."

"Last night, nearly a thousand police officers and police academy cadets in Jiangnan City were on duty in important security areas of Jiangnan City."

"Today, this number will increase, and based on the flow of people, we will invest more security forces every day to strengthen patrol monitoring and crowd diversion in key areas."

Looking back at several zippered human walls not far away, Gu Chen also introduced them and said: "You can see now that with so many people flowing in, zippered human walls have repeatedly shown their power."

"There are so many tourists, but everything is in order. This is inseparable from the careful planning and organization of our police in terms of security, as well as the hard work of the armed police officers and other security volunteers."

"Many of our officers and soldiers sacrificed their own holidays and the opportunity to reunite with their families in order to ensure the tranquility of the long holiday and the order of the scenic spots."

"And every major holiday, many officers and soldiers will take the initiative to postpone their vacation plans, give up the opportunity to take vacations, and apply to participate in security tasks."

"Yes, their efforts should be remembered by us." Bai Xiaolan also nodded in agreement, facing the camera and said:

"It can be seen that behind the zippered human wall is a management idea to prepare for the safety of holidays and scenic spots."

"During the long holidays, the flow of people in many popular scenic spots reaches its peak, and daily management methods and public facilities are inevitably stretched."

"But at this time, in order to ensure the order of the scenic spot and the safety of the people, we must come up with a more powerful response plan to nip the problem in the bud."

The microphone was handed to Gu Chen, who answered smoothly: "Yes, especially this year, the peak of long holiday crowds and the epidemic are superimposed. Although the epidemic has been basically controlled, the risk alert has still not been lifted."

"So in the face of this situation, our Jiangnan Police Department took effective measures to divert people in the scenic area based on the actual situation and analysis of big data."

"This is not only about tourist experience, but also about safety and security, and also about the prevention and control of the epidemic. Of course, we need to be more active and proactive about this."

"And every tourist should actively cooperate with the scenic spot's epidemic prevention and police security measures and be responsible for safety and health."
