In the conference room of the Serious Case Section 1 of the Chengtian Prefecture Patrol Bureau, a patrol officer with a big belly was sitting at the top, and on both sides were the patrol officers under him. They were all sitting upright, with straight postures, and their eyes were not squinting.
.
If they hadn't been wearing black patrol uniforms, someone might have mistaken them for soldiers of the Tang Dynasty King's Division.
Because there were straight people sitting on both sides of the rectangular table, holding meetings without squinting. This was the tradition of the Tang Army, well, it was also the tradition of the Tang Navy and the Guards.
And this tradition first came from the imperial military meeting!
When Li Xuan held imperial military meetings, he often sat on the dragon chair at the top, while the generals sat on both sides of the rectangular table. Li Xuan hated a group of people standing in front of him or kneeling in front of him for meetings.
, that feeling is facing a group of minions, not a group of generals!
Li Xuan believed that if you want to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, it is very important to maintain the sense of honor of the soldiers, so the military uniforms of the Tang Dynasty King's Division must be handsome and can show the handsomeness and erectness of the soldiers.
At the same time, the self-esteem of soldiers must be maintained.
Therefore, Li Xuan had stipulated long ago that, except for special ceremonies such as the Great Court Ceremony, soldiers wearing military uniforms were not required to kneel before the saints. When soldiers met superiors and subordinates, all kneeling rituals were abolished.
Then, he gave them seats during the imperial military meeting.
From this, several interesting special traditions of the Tang Dynasty kings were gradually formed. During meetings, both superiors and subordinates sat down, and the conference table must be a rectangular table, with the chief officer sitting at the top and subordinates sitting on both sides.
side, while leaving the lower end of the rectangular table empty.
When formal meetings are held, officers are often required to dress neatly and have clean personal appearance. For some high-level military meetings, officers will wear formal military uniforms to attend.
This tradition of the Army later spread to the Navy and the Guards, because strictly speaking, the Navy and the Guards were also split from the Army in the early days. Nowadays, many senior generals in the Navy are almost all from the Army. This is
It is not surprising that the two services inherit some of the traditions of the Army.
Not to mention several other branches of the military, even the patrol police have greatly inherited many traditions of the army!
Because most of the personnel in the patrol department in the early years were actually retired soldiers from the army!
In the early days of the establishment of the Patrol Department, its main force was the burglary camp. Although the Patrol Department also accepted many government officials and police officers from the pre-Ming Dynasty during its expansion, these people were never the mainstream.
In the mid-term, the Patrol Department accepted a large number of members of the Army Garrison. Although these people were basically former Ming surrender troops, they had also gone through a long period of reorganization and training.
What is worth noting is that the officials at all levels in the patrol department, especially the directors of the local patrol bureaus, are almost all retired army officers!
The Patrol Department has always been the main employment department for retired soldiers of the Tang Army, especially retired officers.
After these retired officers and non-commissioned officers came to work in the Patrol Department, they naturally brought with them many military styles. Together with the Datang Patrol, they implemented a unique patrol police rank system, and the police rank system basically copied the military ranks.
, it just has the title of patrol officer on the front.
For example, the Lu Ping sitting in front of him at the head of the rectangular table, as the leader of the third team of the Serious Case Division 1, has the rank of patrol major on his shoulders.
Like most patrol officers, especially front-line personnel, he is also an Army veteran. Before retiring, he was a captain in the Army Cavalry. When fighting in Jiangxi, his left hand was seriously injured.
Although he said that the injury was healed and there seemed to be nothing abnormal on the outside, in fact, his left hand would suffer severe pain even if he exerted a little force on weekdays. He had a lot of trouble with him a while ago.
, he asked a third-year medical student from the Royal Institute of Technology to look at his hand. After looking at it, the man shook his head and said that it couldn’t be cured by taking medicine, and that he needed surgery, and it was a very precise surgery. In this world,
He is the only one who can perform this kind of surgery on him.
Lu Ping was very glad that he asked one more question at that time: "Operation? How high are the hopes?"
The medical student said with a puzzled look on his face: "There must be hope for this. Do you want me to try it?"
Seeing the man leaping for a try, Lu Ping was reminded of the miserable appearance of a large number of comrades in the military hospital who underwent various surgeries, amputations, bullet removal, etc., and finally died in mourning.
Then he shook his head suddenly: "I won't do it anymore, I want to go home!"
Lu Ping is not an ordinary person. He knows very well what surgery means these days, which means infection!
He saw with his own eyes a comrade who only had a small wound on his thumb pad by shrapnel. He was constantly infected and had his limbs amputated step by step. First the fingers, then the palm, then the small arm, and then the entire arm...
Finally, he died!
If you want to operate on me, you will definitely not be allowed!
Without surgery, he would at most be unable to exert his strength on weekdays, but with surgery, he believed that he would most likely be amputated, or even die from infection.
After Lu Ping left, the medical student looked regretful: "What a pity. What a good training material. It will definitely feel more comfortable to cut than those corpses!"
A medical student on the side also sighed: "Yeah, it's so boring to dissect corpses every day, and I don't know when I will be able to perform a real operation!"
At this time, Lu Ping had just walked out of the door and had not gone far. He happened to hear their conversation because of his relatively good hearing. Then, he ran away from the Medical Department of the Royal Institute of Technology and never came back again.
Passed here.
The people in this damn place are all a bunch of lunatics!
At that time, he was forced to retire from active service because of an injury to his left hand. However, working as a patrolman on the ground seemed to be very prosperous in front of ordinary people, but how could his future be compared with that of a cavalry captain? As long as he did not make mistakes and maintained normal performance, then today
, a person with the rank of lieutenant colonel will definitely not be able to escape.
Because the cavalry classmates who graduated from the martial arts school with him at that time had neither retired nor died in battle. If they were still serving, the lowest would be a lieutenant colonel!
In the past two years, it is absolutely impossible for you to say that Lu Ping is willing!
But no matter what, he retired from active service, so he could only shift his focus to a new career, and then direct all his anger on those criminals.
After serving as a patrol officer for two years, his figure quickly gained weight, and his belly was as fat as a pig's. He no longer looked the same as he did two years ago.
He was sitting, and a young patrolman under his command was talking about the case. This young patrolman was not a soldier, but came out of the patrol school. It was said that he ranked among the best in the graduation examination, so he was directly assigned to the serious case department.
He held a position, but in Lu Ping's view, this young boy was just like that. He had a lot of theories but no real skills.
This person is suitable for exams, not for handling cases!
"Sun Mazi, a native of Jinling City, came from a poor family. His parents died young. He became a beggar at an early age and later gradually became the leader of many beggars in Jinling City.
After our King's Division entered Jinling City, the Army and our Patrol Department launched many purge activities to rectify many green-skinned hooligans, beggars and other unemployed people in the city. Sun Mazi's beggar organization also split instantly.
During the rectification process of our Wang division, he did not resist, but actively cooperated and started to change careers and established an escort agency.
Because his attitude was relatively positive at the time, our patrol department did not deal with this person further!"
"After investigation, it was found that the deceased Chen Bing's wife, Mrs. Song, had a long-term affair with this person. On the night before Chen Bing committed suicide, Sun Mazi had been in and out of Chen Bing's wife's house. This is why we are looking for
For his sake!”
"But during the process of investigating and inspecting this person, we discovered that this person had already transferred his escort company at a low price and disappeared. After many searches by colleagues, we finally found this person.
However, there was resistance during the arrest. My fellow patrol officers dealt with it decisively and successfully arrested this person after killing many of the attackers!"
When the young patrol officer said this, Lu Ping just waved his hand: "There is nothing more to say next. This person will be interrogated immediately. I want to know why he went in and out of Chen Bing's house that night. Also,
Does he have anything to do with this matter, and what role did he play in Chen Bing’s death?”
"Except for Sun Mazi, continue to investigate other related persons. Don't think that catching Sun Mazi means you will let go of other clues. The investigation of Sun Mazi must also be carried out immediately.
This officer does not believe that a mere beggar-turned-bodyguard would attack Chen Bing for no reason. Even if he was found to have had an affair with Chen Bing and killed him, it would be impossible for Chen Bing to let him go.
Leaving behind the last words of being forced to commit suicide!”
While the Chengtian Prefecture Patrol Bureau was conducting a thorough investigation into Chen Bing's death, Chen Lifu's case also came to a standstill. The Supervisory Office also realized that the situation was not good, so they acted more cautiously.
But this situation is something some people don’t want to see!
In a village on the outskirts of Jinling, in one of the ordinary houses with three entrances, two men were sitting in a study room, drinking tea and talking.
"Why hasn't the Inspectorate applied for an arrest warrant against Chen Lifu now? If this continues, it will be very bad for our plan!" One of the middle-aged men said with a worried look on his face: "This Gong Wenbao, I think he has a high regard for him.
Yes, he was very vigorous and resolute when investigating the case, but I didn’t expect that he would be so cowardly when things happen now!”
