District 9

The entrance of No. 88 Courtyard.

Qin Yu asked with a smile: "Lin Nianlei, why are you here?"

"I'm here to look at a house." Lin Nianlei stroked her hair and asked casually: "What about you?"

"What a coincidence." Qin Yu was stunned: "I'm here to look at the house too."

"Huh?" Lin Nianlei blinked her big, watery eyes: "Don't you, the superintendent, have a dormitory?"

"Haha, there are too many people in the dormitory. I can't get used to it, so I want to rent a house."

"oh."

Lin Nianlei nodded playfully, extended her palm generously and said, "Since it's such a coincidence, let's get to know each other. I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Qin Yu."

"Brother Qin Yu, thank you!" Lin Nianlei took the initiative to chat with him just to say this.

Qin Yu knew that Lin Nianlei was thanking her because he saved her life in the alley, so he responded hypocritically: "It's my duty to do so, you're welcome..."

Lin Nianlei was in awe when she heard the sound: "Hey, salute to Sir!"

"Let's go in and have a look together." Qin Yu actually has no resistance to good-looking girls, but before, due to limited conditions, he couldn't show off even if he wanted to. Now that I feel settled for the time being, I feel a little bit irritated in my heart, and at least I want to chat with the pretty girl more.

"I have finished reading and have made a reservation. My colleague went shopping and we left when she came back." Lin Nianlei responded enthusiastically and generously: "If you want to rent here, we can meet again in the future. When I pay my salary, please Have a meal."

"Haha, then I have to see if the house is suitable first."

"I work at the network station, and I will definitely follow the superintendent's side in the future. See you later."

"Good!"

The two briefly exchanged a few words, and Qin Yu walked into Courtyard No. 88. Because before he could ask for contact information from Lin Nianlei, the other party left with a female colleague.

…

In the courtyard.

The old cat sat on a stone pier, waved his hand and shouted: "Qin Yu, here it is!"

"Here we come." Qin Yu heard the sound and rushed over.

"I just heard you talking at the door. Who were you talking to?" the old cat asked smoothly: "Is Qi Lin here too?"

"No, I just met the girl who was kidnapped that day and had a casual chat."

"???" The old cat was stunned for a long time: "Did you meet that girl? Where is she?!"

"Can you please stop acting like you want to eat people? Everyone has left."

"What is she doing here?" Old Cat asked continuously with great interest: "Who is she here with? What did she tell you?"

"She works at the network station, not far from our superintendent, so she came here to look at the house, and she happened to meet me." Qin Yu replied impatiently: "Why are you asking for such details?"

"Did she rent a house in this courtyard?"

"It seems to be rented."

"...!" Old Mao frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly looked at Qin Yu and asked: "Hey, do you still need a roommate or something? I can cook."

"You are such a slut." Qin Yu was speechless.

"She really attracted me, brother." The old cat said nonchalantly: "Let's live together? Let's live together, let me tell you..."

"Let's talk about it. Let's look at the house first." Qin Yu waved his hand and urged: "Hurry up, I have to go back to the team later."

"Okay, let's take a look first."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them walked into the main hall.

The house that Lao Mao showed Qin Yu was about thirty square meters. It had some simple furniture and the walls had been painted. The overall environment looked very clean, but the price was slightly expensive. The landlady asked for three hundred a month, and it had to be delivered every six months.

The price is indeed not low, but it is also reasonable. Because Courtyard No. 88 is located in the most concentrated area of ​​Songjiang city government agencies, close to TV stations, online broadcast stations, police superintendents, transportation departments and other departments, and this is also the reason why Qin Yu and Lin Nianlei met. The two people's workplaces are not far apart, so if they don't meet here, there will be opportunities to meet in the future.

The current common currency of the Ninth District is the Asian dollar, which was just issued, while the world's common currency is the alliance currency issued by the United Savings, a subsidiary of the coalition government. Of course, the European Union also has its own currency, the euro, but let’s not talk about it for now.

The exchange rate is approximately 1:6 Asian dollars in alliance currency.

Since the Asian dollar has just been issued, its purchasing power is very high. If you make a rough calculation, it may be about ten times the purchasing power of the previous RMB. So three hundred Asian dollars is equivalent to the previous three thousand dollars. Qin Yu's current salary is only 500 a month. If he rents this house, excluding food and drink, there will be basically no money left in a month.

This is also a portrayal of the lives of the people at the bottom of the Ninth Special Administrative Region. The cost of living is getting higher day by day because various resources are withering. There are relatively many people and few jobs, and the income is very low. So why did Qi Lin go out of his way to become a second-level police officer? That's because the higher the professional title, the higher the salary will be.

Old Mao saw that Qin Yu was interested in this house, but he was a little worried about the rent of three hundred yuan a month, so he whispered: "In the superintendent, except for timid people like Qi Lin, they only want to be bad boys who lick dogs." In addition, most people don’t have the idea of ​​​​working solely for wages. I don’t think you are a good person, and you will definitely have to make some gray income in the future..."

"Do you have gray income?" Qin Yu asked sideways.

"Yes, how could it not be?"

"What gray income do you have?"

"I specialize in bullying pimps. If they don't pay their dues, I'll deal with them." Lao Mao responded shamelessly.

"...!" Qin Yu was speechless.

"Stop counting, rent it, and I can come and stay in the future." Old Cat persuaded again.

Qin Yu thought about it for a long time and thought that he might not be able to find a better or cheaper house for a while. In addition, this hospital is indeed very close to the superintendent, so he hesitated and responded: "Okay, rent it, for half a year. "

…

After work in the afternoon.

In the three office areas, which are less than fifty square meters, nine young people in uniforms stand astride each other.

Yuan Ke looked at everyone with a smile and said: "Just a few words. Although Qin Yu just arrived, he actually killed the big bandit Panasonic and successfully solved a kidnapping case. So after careful study by the department and the team, the decision was made , temporarily appointed Qin Yu as the leader of the third group of the first team."

Everyone looked at each other for a long time before bursting into warm applause.

"Qin Yu's personal third-class merit has been reported to the department, and the level will be raised when the time comes, so don't have any other ideas in your mind. I said before, as long as you can do it, then you can work in the first team , I will definitely mention you, this is the same for everyone." After Yuan Ke finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull Qin Yu: "Let's get to know everyone."

Qin Yu stepped forward upon hearing the sound, wearing a neat light green police uniform, carrying two crutches on his shoulders, saluting and shouting: "My name is Qin Yu, please take care of me in the future."

In the crowd, Qi Lin stared at Qin Yu blankly, with unspeakable bitterness in his heart.

Just dozens of hours ago, he personally brought this newcomer back to the team. But in less than two days, he became his leader. This feeling... is really uncomfortable.

"Let me reiterate, everyone must abide by the rules here when wearing these clothes. Although Qin Yu is new, if any of you want to bully students, talk nonsense, and affect your work, don't say I am disloyal." Yuan Ke He smiled and gave instructions to everyone, then turned back to Qin Yu and said, "Okay, let's talk."

"Okay." Qin Yu nodded: "Thank you, Captain Yuan."

"I told you, you're welcome." Yuan Ke left calmly.

In the office area, Qin Yu blinked and looked at everyone, and took out a box of Zhonghua from his pocket that he usually couldn't bear to smoke. He smiled and said to everyone: "For me, something good happened by chance. It was a combination of circumstances." I have become a captain, but my personal experience is definitely not as good as yours. So in the future, I will have to rely on everyone’s help on cases. Come on, come on, relax and have a cigarette."

Qin Yu said this as a polite opening statement. His original intention was to get closer to everyone, but he did not expect that a relatively older young man standing on the far left side of the crowd took the hand from Qin Yu. To smoke, he tore open the wrapping paper skillfully and said: "Haha, brother, you are quite good at it. You can even get flue-cured cigarettes?"

Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, then responded with a smile: "It was a gift from a good friend."

The man who talked to Qin Yu was named Zhu Wei. He was an old man from the third group and had been working for four or five years. However, due to his shaky personal style of doing things, he has never been able to step up. But if Qin Yu doesn't come, the team's selection may also mention him as the team leader. After all, his qualifications are there, and he usually gets along well with Yuan Ke.

Zhu Wei took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep puff, and then handed the cigarette case to the others.

"Sit down, everyone, sit down." Qin Yu greeted.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, Zhu Wei suddenly reached out and patted Qin Yu's arm, and said with a smile: "This is still a fun game, you can feel it when you smoke it. Brother, you do things openly and don't hold back, haha!"

There is nothing wrong with this, but Zhu Wei's slap hit the scratch on Qin Yu's arm. He was shooting with Panasonic that day, and his arm was grazed by a stray bullet, and it was not fully healed yet.

"hiss!"

Qin Yu was hurt by the slap, and took a step back with a frown, then turned to look at Zhu Wei.

"Viagra, the team leader is injured." Qi Lin had changed his name to Qin Yu at this time and unknowingly called him team leader.

"Fuck, what happened?" Zhu Wei looked at Qin Yu and asked, "Where is it hurt?"

Qin Yu glanced at Zhu Wei and responded with a smile: "I let the bullet hit me when I grabbed Panasonic."

"Did you rub it? Then it's okay. Just go back to the hospital and prescribe some medicine." Zhu Wei bared his teeth and said, "Don't take injections. You won't die even if you take an injection. Now you can get half a month's salary for an injection." It’s all gone.”

When Qin Yu heard this, he squinted at Zhu Wei and said nothing. He only asked the others to sit down.

After all three groups of ten people sat down, everyone started talking softly.

During the first conversation, Qin Yu had a general understanding of the situations of the three groups.

This team plus his staffing is ten people, including three Thais, one non-Z, and six Chinese. However, because the Ninth Special Administrative Region is located in the former Northeast of the country, Chinese is Mandarin, and they have lived here for a long time. They are all fluent in Chinese and have some Northeastern accents.

After a simple communication, everyone began to perform their respective duties and start researching information on drug trafficking gangs.

…

At night, Qin Yu had just finished checking the two dilapidated Group 3 police cars downstairs. He turned back to the office, only to find that no one was in the room. Only Qi Lin and the non-Z brother were left, fiddling with the clue book. .

"Where are the people?" Qin Yu asked.

"Brother Zhu took him out to do something." Qi Lin replied.

Qin Yu frowned: "I said I was going to study the case, and we had a meeting at night. Why did he suddenly take people out to do something? Is there any case?"

"No, he seems to be taking people to do some personal things."

"...It's not even time to get off work. Are you leading people away without even saying hello?" Qin Yu muttered expressionlessly.

Qi Lin was silent for a long time and did not answer.

Qin Yu frowned and sat on the chair, looking down at the landline phone, tapping the table with his fingers.

What does Zhu Wei mean?

Do you want to play yourself?

On the first day when he officially led the third group, Qin Yu's test came.
