Chapter Seventeen Awards Ceremony

  I'm sorry for updating late at 4:10 today, thanks for your understanding everyone

  Gao Xiang actually didn't have much good impression of the police, he had been a auxiliary policeman for longer than Tian Miao Miao and Zhang Tong, so he was very familiar with the way people's police handled cases.

  Often, thieves are caught red-handed and taken to the police station, where they will definitely be subjected to a standard procedure of being beaten with electric batons and kicked in the buttocks before anything else happens. This is the most standard way for grassroots police stations to handle cases.

  Are you going to the criminal police team?... Gao Xiang had helped the local police send three outsiders who stole optical cables to the criminal police team. These two thieves were at the police station, one was more cunning than the other, and they both refused to admit their guilt, but as soon as they entered the criminal police team, they all confessed within an hour. They not only admitted what they had done but also reported a large number of other crimes committed by other gangs. When these three foolish guys were released, they would shiver whenever they saw someone wearing a police uniform, and even speaking slightly louder could scare them.

  Two days ago, Tian Miao said a sentence that left a deep impression on Gao Xiang. She said: The police profession is too damaging to human nature, dealing with psychologically twisted bad people every day, and after a long time, even one's own psychology becomes twisted.

  Entering the courtyard, they finally saw a familiar face. Luo Lin was standing at the entrance of the first floor waiting for the three of them. Seeing the three of them, he smiled and said: "This place is hard to find, hurry up and go upstairs, it's almost time."

  As soon as he turned around, Tian Miao made a face at him and said, "Damn it, I know this place is hard to find, why didn't you come out to welcome me?"

  Upon arriving at the third floor, the four of them entered a large conference room with a huge banner hanging in front that read: 4.12 Major Case Commendation Conference. The conference room was bustling with people, all wearing deep blue uniforms, dozens of police officers were finding their seats, taking pictures, distributing materials, and the scene was chaotic.

  After waiting for a few more minutes, the venue was almost full. At this time, a policeman at the front suddenly shouted: Stand up! Then everyone stood up, and Gao Xiang was still in a daze, being pulled up by Tian Miao Miao.

  Warm applause suddenly erupted, and several big men with police badges walked in one after another at the door. It turned out that the leaders had arrived.

  After the leaders sat down, the meeting began according to the usual procedure. The director spoke, the political commissar spoke, the deputy director spoke, the brigade commander spoke; first talking about the situation and then the case; finally encouraging everyone to continue working hard, thanking the superior leadership for their high attention, the sincere unity of various units, and the tireless efforts of the front-line police officers. Only then did they finally catch the bad egg!

  Director Zhang appears to be in his 50s, with hair that looks like it's been dyed, combed into a large bun, and a round face with big ears, but still fairly good-looking.

  The political commissar was over 50 years old, with thinning hair and wearing glasses. He had a pale complexion from spending too much time in the office, but his face was expressionless, giving off an air of impartiality.

  Deputy Director Su was a handsome man in his 40s, looking much younger than the other two. He seemed to be in his prime, with bright eyes, sharp facial features, and an air of strong confidence that radiated from every gesture.

  After a lot of nonsense, Director Zhang finally mentioned the award-winning teams: a large team won a second-class merit once, and finally read out the Happiness Road Police Station, which won a third-class merit once, and also awarded a bonus of 100,000 yuan!

  The political commissar on the stage announced that the representative of the Happiness Road Police Station should come to the stage to receive the award. Tian Miao saw Gao Xiang still wanting to shrink back and pushed him out with a push. Gao Xiang nervously walked onto the stage, took the silk flag and a foam check with 10,000 yuan printed on it from the political commissar's hand, and then stood facing everyone.

  Gao Xiang wasn't nervous, but afraid. Whoever dared to catch the fierce bandit must be even more ferocious than the bandit himself. Under this table, there were dozens of serious criminal police officers. Seeing his unfamiliar face, they scanned him with suspicious eyes, and suddenly a chill ran down his spine.

  The director and the minister have all spoken, then Vice Director Su took over the microphone and said sincerely:

  "Comrades, this afternoon we will hold a press conference to announce the detection of the 4.12 case to all sectors of society. Due to our professional relationship, comrades who directly participated in the capture cannot attend such gatherings and can only be replaced by us. I am ashamed.

  Finally, I want to emphasize that during this detection and pursuit action, the outstanding unit is: Happiness Road Police Station. The three auxiliary police officers from this station played a crucial role in the pursuit process and perfectly coordinated with our frontline police officers' capture actions! Hereby, we commend them. Comrades, what does this show? This fully demonstrates the correctness of the work idea of 'greatly expanding the power of auxiliary police for public security' determined by the Bureau Party Committee this year. It fully shows that our grassroots public security bureau and police stations have a considerable ideological awareness in striking against illegal crimes and maintaining harmony and stability.

  Finally, I want to say that our auxiliary police who participated in this action are great, and our criminal police are even greater! Thank you everyone."

  After Deputy Director Su finished speaking, Gao Xiang thought it was over and wanted to step down, but the Political Commissar called out to stop him:

  "Now, let's invite Officer Gao Xiang from the Happiness Road Police Station to say a few words. Everyone, please applaud!"

  A warm round of applause made Gao Xiang on stage suddenly nervous... Tian Miao and Zhang Tong in the audience both let out a sigh of relief, fortunately they didn't have to go up there and lose face. But thinking about it, what would be the point of having two girls go up there anyway?

  Just as Tian Miao Miao was smiling and watching the scene with a pleased expression, Gao Xiang scratched the back of his head, walked to the microphone, carefully placed the banner and check, and surprisingly pulled out a script from his breast pocket!

  "Respected leaders, fellow police officers, everyone... Maintaining law and order is the sacred duty of every citizen... Under the leadership of our superiors, all volunteer police officers have conscientiously studied the spirit of the 7th and 11th documents issued by the Municipal Bureau on cracking down on serious crimes involving guns and explosives..."

  Listening to Gao Xiang's eloquent speech, Tian Miao Miao had a ghostly expression. Her eyes caught Zhang Tong covering his mouth and sneaking a smile, and she suddenly understood: this was the speech that Zhang Tong had prepared, whoever went on stage would use it. But what about mine? Ahh, these two people really have an illicit relationship!

  The commendation meeting ended smoothly, and Zhou Bin, the captain sitting in the first row, warmly welcomed him and patted Tian Miao's head, saying: "I'll treat you today, no one is allowed to leave."

  A group of police officers next to me are wailing and howling, oh oh oh! Captain Zhou is treating us to a meal!

  A female police officer in her 30s walked up to Zhang Tong, pinched her cheek and said: "This girl is called Zhang Tong, I've heard about your story, good job"

  Someone next to him shouted, "Zhao forensic doctor, your hands touch dead people every day, aren't you afraid of scaring the little girl..."

  Forensic Zhao laughed and scolded: I've even touched you before, why didn't I see you die of fright!
