However, since the last major incident operation, he has turned the tide and prevented the police force from losing its reputation in front of the citizens and superiors.
A few months later, the personnel police officer who was good at adapting to the situation suddenly contacted him and sincerely invited him to be the chief interviewer of this "trainee inspector interview".
Zhang Pin did not refuse this kind of thing.
In the past, he had always been interviewed by others. To be honest, he still had great expectations for interviewing others.
Another thing is that the personnel department invited him as the "chief interviewer" as soon as they opened the door. This also means that it is almost a matter of seeing whether this group of sergeant-level police officers can cross over from the rank of deputy to the supervisor level.
He nodded or not.
"Sir Zhang, thank you for your hard work. There are a lot of people interviewing this time!"
There was also a superintendent-level boss in the elevator, who was from the Public Relations Department. When he heard Zhang Pin's elevator confirmation, he didn't know what he was thinking of, so he smiled and said.
Zhang Pin did not agree with the other party, but his face and smile remained unchanged. Then after seeing the elevator reaching the floor he wanted to go to, he smiled and signaled to everyone.
"I borrowed it, thank you!"
"Walk slowly, Sir Zhang!"
Many police officers in the elevator looked at Zhang Pin with envy as he walked out of the elevator.
The twelfth floor is where the Human Resources Department is located. All sergeants and junior sergeants who want to be promoted to the supervisor level must come here and accept interviews from the Human Resources Department.
Before he reached the front desk, a civilian police officer saw the handsome man in a suit striding over. His eyes suddenly lit up. He picked up a document next to him, got up and walked out of the front desk.
"Officer Zhang, morning!"
The other party obviously recognized him, and Zhang Pin also smiled and nodded.
"This is the treatment for the police officers who participated in the interview today. Everyone is already waiting in the conference room. Have you had breakfast?"
When Zhang Pin heard that people had arrived, he shook his head: "I've eaten already, thank you."
"Then I will make arrangements now and start the first interview immediately?"
The civilian responded quickly and was obviously very familiar with this kind of thing.
"Okay, please!"
Zhang Pin didn't want to waste too much time. Even though it wasn't the agreed time yet, there were several interviews today, so it would be better to start earlier.
Walking forward with the civilian, two police officers with the rank of chief inspector in the tea room happened to hear the movement and came out to greet him with a smile.
These are two partners who were interviewing together, and Zhang Pin also smiled back.
The three of them came to the conference room where the interview was held. The civilian police officer helped open the door. There was already a police officer waiting for the interview sitting inside.
The other party was tall and tall, and was originally looking forward. When he heard the sound at the door, he immediately stood up, raised his head and raised his chest. Then when the three of them arrived in front of the desk, they saluted.
"Police Officer 3725, Ma Jun, report to the commander!"
Ma Jun was very excited. Facing Zhang Pin, who was standing in the middle, his face almost became tense.
Because before he met Zhang Pin, he was still working hard to solve the case and avoid being transferred from the police station again. Who knew that only a few months later, he had participated in the interview for a trainee inspector.
"Hello, please sit down!"
Zhang Pin smiled, then looked at the two people on the left and right, and then stretched out his hand to signal the other person to sit down. Then he pulled out the chair and sat down.
There are already three pieces of information on Ma Jun's entire police career on the table, as well as information on the opponent's background.
As the main interviewer, Zhang Pin was not the first to ask. Instead, he signaled to his two colleagues.
Both of them were not polite because they both knew that Ma Jun was from Wan Chai Police Station. In fact, the fact that the other person appeared here represented Zhang Pin's attitude.
One of the chief inspectors opened Ma Jun's information, glanced at it, and frowned.
Then he flipped through the folder faster and faster, and finally closed the folder and said directly:
"Police Officer 3725, I read the information and showed that seven months ago, when you were arresting a criminal suspect, you punched him and seriously injured him. At that time, the psychological department evaluated you as having a habit of violence. What do you do?
explain."
Zhang Pin frowned and looked at the other party with some confusion.
In fact, all examinations within the police force, whether written examinations or interviews, are not that important. Whether a police officer can be promoted depends on two factors.
The most important thing is to check the credit and whether there are people above.
Promotions at the rank of officer and junior officer are okay, but starting from the supervisor level, a recommendation system is implemented.
In other words, whether it is a senior sergeant being promoted to a trainee inspector, or an inspector being promoted to a senior inspector or even a chief inspector.
The most important thing is not whether you can pass the exam, but whether anyone recommends you.
The promotion of junior police officers in the police force is nominally controlled by the Human Resources Department, but in fact, it is the bosses of each police station who make the final decision.
Because all recommended quotas are in their hands.
Generally speaking, after these big guys recommend the quota, the HR department will not do anything in it.
Even during the written examination and interview, they will quietly let them pass the test reasonably.
The preparation of written examinations is very simple. For example, in several of Zhang Pin's own examinations, the examiner would go to the tea room to drink coffee after handing out the examination papers, and then return to the examination site when the time was almost up.
Even when you return to the exam site, some enthusiastic examiners will chat with you about the content of previous exams.
Most of these contents are related to the current examination papers.
So normally, as long as they are prepared, police officers who take the written exam are unlikely to fail.
After passing the written test, the interview process will be more convenient.
Because except for one from the Human Resources Department, the other two interviewers who will participate in the interview will be invited from the chiefs of various police departments or chief inspectors and above.
The Human Resources Department usually invites superiors who recommend police officers for promotion to serve as interviewers.
In this way, the other two interviewers will also know who is coming for the interview.
The recommended officers are sitting across from each other. Everyone who has made it to this point is very knowledgeable and will not ask too difficult questions.
Zhang Pin originally thought this was the case, but now the chief inspector next to him directly said that Ma Jun had violent tendencies as his first question. Wasn't this a slap in Zhang Pin's face?
Before Zhang Pin could speak, the chief inspector of the personnel department next to him couldn't help but pick up the folder, coughed, and interrupted Ma Jun who wanted to ask a question. Then he picked a simple question and staggered it.
got this answer.
"3725, I see your resume. You have been a police officer for nine years?"
Ma Jun was initially confused by the first question and was just thinking about how to answer it. When he heard the second question, he came to his senses.
"Sir, yes."
"Well, looking at your resume, you have worked in several police stations, anti-gangsters, serious cases, traffic... Hey, you have also been in an art troupe?"
Speaking of this, the chief inspector of the personnel department took a special look at Ma Jun. Apparently he didn't expect that such a rough-and-tumble man could actually join the art troupe.
"Sir, I can play the piano and passed the professional level five exam. I don't have time to go to work later, so I didn't continue the exam."
Hearing this, Ma Jun himself showed a proud look on his face.
Even Zhang Pin was a little surprised when he heard this.
He also didn't expect that Universe Dan could also play the piano.
After the last major incident, Ma Jun was hospitalized due to injuries. He and Li Xiuxian led the charge of ten police officers.
Except for two unlucky ones, one was shot in the neck and the other was shot in the head and died. All others, including them, were shot and hospitalized.
Ma Jun was lucky. Neither of the two shots he received were critical parts, and the injuries did not cause any damage to his body's functions.
As early as when he was hospitalized, Zhang Pin transferred him to Wan Chai Police Station after asking him about his intentions.
This time, after he was discharged from the hospital and returned to the police force, he immediately recommended him to take the probationary inspector examination.
Because it was discovered that the other chief inspector seemed to be looking for trouble, the chief inspector of the Human Resources Department had been leading the pace of the interview.
The chief inspector among them asked a few more pointed questions, but Ma Jun simply ignored him because Zhang Pin was there.
The interview continued normally with a strange atmosphere.
After the two sides asked a few questions according to custom, Zhang Pin saw that the chief inspector next to him was about to speak again, so he knocked on the table to attract everyone's attention.
Then he looked at Ma Jun: "3725, what do you think about the police arresting criminals?"
Hearing this question, Ma Jun was silent for a moment before answering firmly.
"Sir, I think it is natural for the police to catch thieves!"
Zhang Pin nodded with satisfaction and then took the initiative to end the interview.
"Okay, you can go back and wait for the notification!"
Then he lowered his head and began to sign the document.
Ma Jun stood up and saluted, then turned and left the interview office.
"Sir Zhang, Sir Huang, let's have some coffee first!"
As the landlord, the Chief Inspector of the Personnel Department did not wait for the two interviewers to start a dispute, but he quickly acted as a peacemaker and invited the two to drink coffee. He obviously guessed what Sir Huang had towards Zhang Pin.
"No, since I, as the interviewer, don't even have the right to ask questions, I won't participate in the following interviews. I'm leaving now!"
However, before Zhang Pin could say anything, Sir Huang, who had been trying to find trouble, got up and left the office, and even left the human resources department directly.
"Okay, I heard that the coffee in the Human Resources Department tastes very good. This is a rare opportunity, so you have to try it."
Zhang Pin smiled and nodded, then came to an empty office not far from the tea room and sat down.
Soon the civilian police officer brought a cup of coffee, but the chief inspector of the personnel department did not follow him immediately.
There are still people who will be interviewed for the trainee inspector's interview, but there is one less interviewer. As a representative of the Human Resources Department, he is probably going to handle this matter.
Before Zhang Pin could finish his cup of coffee, the other party came over.
"Sir Zhang, I'm sorry just now. Sir Huang is the chief of the Criminal Department. I thought you had a good relationship with Deputy Director Zhuo, so I invited him. Who knew..."
When the other party said this, Zhang Pin naturally reacted. Obviously, the reason why Sir Huang found trouble with Ma Jun was because the other party was from Zhuo Jingquan.
After the major incident operation ended, although the reputation of the police force was restored, Zhuo Jingquan did not receive much praise.
Even because three members of the Flying Tigers died, the PTU even lost 11 elite police officers, and even officers from the Central District Crime Squad and Wan Chai Police Station sacrificed their lives, they were reminded a few words by the higher-ups.
And now that Sir Huang is doing this, he obviously wants to give Zhang Pin eye drops.
Knowing the other party's purpose, Zhang Pin's face remained unchanged, he smiled and nodded, expressing his gratitude to the other party for the reminder.
The next interview continues.
"Police Officer 3597, Li Wenbin, report to the commander!"
...
"Police officer 9803, Liu Jiehui, report to the officer!"
The next interview turned out to be nothing short of a success.
However, because of what happened with Ma Jun before, even if he met two "acquaintances" in a row, Zhang Pin didn't have much interest in contacting them.
...
After the interview, Zhang Pin spent a few leisurely days. On this day, he was fishing and playing Spider Solitaire in the office when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Zhang Pin did not close the game, but spoke while playing.
The door was opened and Song Zijie walked in.
"Sir Zhang, I just received a case."
"Talk about it!"
Zhang Pin stopped moving his hands, glanced at the tea cup, then lay back and made a listening gesture.
Song Zijie conspicuously filled up his cup with boiling water before opening the documents in his hand.
"Yesterday around three o'clock in the afternoon, a murder occurred at the Repulse Bay Yacht Club."
"The deceased was a 38-year-old professional accountant named Liao Jinchao, and the suspect is Zhao Guomin, chairman of the listed company Yihui Group."
"According to the information we have received, the cause of this murder should be related to the Independent Commission Against Corruption's investigation into a drug transaction case involving tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in the group."
"The reporter of the case was a 24-year-old primary school teacher Yang Leer. There were two other witnesses in the case, namely 28-year-old sailor Chen Daquan and 51-year-old club security guard Zhu Tianming.
.....”
But before Song Zijie could continue talking about the case, Zhang Pin knocked on the table.
"This case sounds very ordinary. Except that the amount is a bit large, since you have witnesses, you can just arrange it. If you can't handle it, then report it to the police. And since the Independent Commission Against Corruption has intervened, they can't let the case go.
At our police station."
"If you have any more information, let's pick out the key points first."
Zhang Pin knew that Song Zijie was definitely not looking for something to do because he was bored.
Because as the chief of the operations department of Wan Chai Police Station, he would never go to the front line again unless it was a very special case.
Basically, whether it is a case transferred by the reporting center or a case that occurs within the jurisdiction of Wan Chai Police Station, it will usually be assigned to the serious crime team, anti-gang team, or uniform and traffic team.
After these departments receive an alarm, the team leaders of each department will lead the team to deal with it. If they cannot handle it, they will go to their respective department heads.
Often by the time the case report reaches Zhang Pin, it has already turned into a case closure report, and he only needs to see the results.
Even if there is a case that cannot be solved by any department, it will usually fall into the hands of Song Zijie, who will then coordinate the cooperation of several departments to complete the investigation.
