District 9

Asia North, Ninth Special Zone, Songjiang City.

Qin Yu stood in the office building of the Black Street Police Department, which is affiliated with the Municipal Police Department, and smiled at a middle-aged man and asked: "Is it okay?"

"Well, come in." The middle-aged man waved his hand, turned around and walked into the office on the left.

Qin Yu straightened his clothes after hearing the sound, and followed the middle-aged man in.

The office is not small, about sixty square meters, but there is only one person sitting behind the desk in the room. He looked to be about forty years old, with a mustache, obvious flesh on his face, and a very fierce appearance.

The middle-aged man walked to the desk, placed two piles of information in front of the mustached man, and said softly: "Director, this is the last one."

"Have you had a physical examination?" Mustached Hu picked up the information and asked.

"Yes."

"Well, you go out."

"good."

After the two briefly exchanged a few words, the middle-aged man left. Qin Yu took two steps forward and stood in front of the desk without saying anything more. He only looked at the mustache to check his information.

In the desk, the mustache frowned and stared at the information, and read softly: "Qin Yu, 22 years old, 75 kilograms, 1.82 meters... was born before the first century, and his ancestral home is J City, Province H. Haha, this It’s not far from Songjiang now. Before I came to work, I lived in a planned area. My parents were missing (suspected to be dead) and I have no relatives... huh? Why is your resume blank?"

"I don't have any experience." Qin Yu responded with a smile: "It's hard to live in the area to be planned. You can do whatever you want to eat. How can you have any experience?"

"Haha." The mustache smiled: "You just wrote two at random before you came here. It doesn't look good without a resume system."

"Okay, I'll fill in some later." Qin Yu immediately agreed without arguing.

The mustache stared at the information and asked: "I don't have a resume, which means I haven't served in the military. Do you have any experience in using firearms?"

Qin Yu shook his head without hesitation: "No."

"Have you ever had any bad deeds resulting in criminal punishment?"

"No."

The mustache pondered for a long time, then slowly put down the information at hand, looked up at Qin Yu and said with a smile: "In the area to be planned, where there are no laws and no restrictions, you can get enough money to buy a work and residence permit in the Ninth Special Zone. .You kid...have some experience."

"No way," Qin Yu bared his teeth and smiled: "It's just that I was lucky and met some noble people."

The mustache picked up the water glass, looked up at Qin Yu, and nodded symbolically: "Well, the young man looks quite energetic."

Qin Yu pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer.

The mustache put down the tea cup, stepped in and looked at Qin Yu, and said concisely: "The situation of the Ninth Special Administrative Region is quite special. Although it belongs to the administrative sequence of the coalition government, it has a high degree of freedom of autonomy, which is essentially different from the eight regions. . There are many ethnic groups here. In addition to us yellow people, there are also many black and white people... The social environment is very complex, and there are indeed chaotic phenomena in some areas that we want to change, but cannot change for the time being. As a police officer, you have to consider the whole situation The orientation adapts to the environment here.”

"Understood." Qin Yu nodded seriously.

"Also, I don't care what experiences you have had, but when you eat next to me, you have to sit upright if it's a dragon, and you have to lie down if it's a tiger. If you cause trouble or make trouble, I'll deal with you right away." The mustache said with his hands crossed. The words reminded me calmly.

"Li Si, I'm here to help you reduce trouble." Qin Yu chuckled.

"Haha." He smiled with a mustache, clicked a few times on the touch screen phone on his desk, lowered his head and pointed his mouth at the radio microphone.

A few seconds later, a male voice sounded: "Hello, Director, this is the First Criminal Investigation Team."

"Where is Yuan Ke?" Director Li asked.

"...Captain Yuan is not here, he just left."

"I've got a new guy for you, come and get him right away."

"Okay, okay."

"That's it." Director Li touched his mustache and reached out to press the hang-up button: "Go to the door and wait. Someone will come to pick you up later. You can learn the specific rules in the team."

"Okay, Li Si." After Qin Yu nodded, he immediately took two steps forward, lowered his head and took out a small black bag from his pocket and placed it on the table: "Xiao Qi specifically asked that the SAR Police The system is the most difficult job to get into right now. Without your help, I don’t know how long I would have to wait in line, so don’t forget the etiquette.”

Director Li picked up the bag and opened it. When he saw a diamond about the size of a soybean placed inside, he was slightly startled: "You have talented people in the planning area, who can get this thing?! Oops, I haven’t seen this in years.”

Qin Yu smiled and didn't answer.

Director Li threw the small bag into the drawer and locked it. He raised his head and pointed at Qin Yu and said again: "You are not old, but you do look a bit classy."

"I only have this little money." Qin Yu pretended to be honest and scratched his head. Seeing that Director Li did not leave for lunch immediately, he chatted with him for a few more words.

A few minutes later, a fat young man about the same age as Qin Yu stepped into the room, straightened his waist, saluted and shouted: "Reporting to Si Li, the third-level police officer Qi Lin of the first team has been ordered to lead new colleagues back to the team."

Director Li heard this and patted Qin Yu's arm: "Work hard and try to let me see you in the year-end selection."

"Hey." Qin Yu nodded.

"Okay, go to the team." Director Li pointed at Qi Lin and said, "Tell Yuan Ke to take care of this guy."

With a diamond, Qin Yu chatted with Director Li for less than ten minutes and received an extra word of care, but that seemed to be it.

…

In the corridor.

The chubby Qi Lin walked on the left side of Qin Yu and asked very talkatively: "Where do you come from, brother?"

"Area to be planned."

"Come from that ghost place?" Qi Lin was startled: "That's not easy."

"A little lucky." Qin Yu smiled.

Qi Lin nodded and did not continue to inquire further. Because these days, food and drink are scarce and life is difficult. Everyone may have some unknown secrets.

While the two were walking quickly, Qi Lin introduced the basic situation of the Police Department. This functional department is mainly responsible for criminal work in a region, including public security, case detection, etc., but it does not include a series of administrative tasks such as household registration, exit, issuance of residence permits, and entry-exit procedures. To put it bluntly, it is a bit like the district bureau before the Era, except that the functions are not subdivided too completely. For example, Qin Yu's department not only has to handle major criminal cases, but also manages basic public security.

It took more than an hour for Qi Lin to lead Qin Yu through the five floors of the Police Department, introducing him to the firearms warehouse, interrogation room, public case handling area, training room, canteen and other functional places. During the contact between the two, Qin Yu found that Qi Lin was a very smooth person who could strike up a few words with people basically wherever he went. Moreover, he was very patient. As long as Qin Yu asked, he would give detailed answers. At least on the surface, he seemed to be enthusiastic.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Lin led Qin Yu to the communications department and asked him to buy an in-app purchase mobile phone. But the latter glanced at the counter and found that there was only one model of mobile phone, and it looked old and the price was very unfriendly.

"What brand is this? I've never heard of it?" Qin Yu glanced at it with his mobile phone, turned to look at Qi Lin and said, "Forget it, wait until I settle down and go out to buy it alone. It's too expensive here. ”

Qi Lin smiled when he heard the sound, turned to look at the young man sitting at the counter, and then whispered in Qin Yu's ear: "You should buy it here."

"Why?" Qin Yu was confused.

"For no reason, the communications department is owned by the superintendent, but the counter selling mobile phones is privately contracted. The boss is a friend of Captain Yuan, so new members of the team buy mobile phones here." Qi Lin blinked and said: "We're new here, so we'd better not do anything special. Although this phone is not easy to use, it doesn't need to be connected to the communication department's system. Once your information has been entered into the big system, you can directly enter your name and police number, and it will be ready to use."

Qin Yu has lived in an anarchic area to be planned for several years. Can he not understand the most basic human ways? So when Qi Lin tried to persuade him, he didn't insist anymore and reluctantly said to the teller: "Then get one for me, thank you."

Why endure the pain?

Because Qin Yu is an extremely money-obsessed and stingy person, he wishes he had to get a warranty manual even if he buys a pair of socks. And it was precisely because of his character that he was able to use money to support himself at critical moments, and was able to come to the Ninth Special Administrative Region to buy a job.

After taking the mobile phone, Qi Lin took him out of the Police Department and went to a daily necessities store across the street.

It's August, and although the sky is clear, it's still as cold as winter, and sporadic white snow can still be seen on the streets.

"Is it snowing all the time in the Special Economic Zone?" Qin Yu asked.

"It will be three years later." Qi Lin replied.

"Damn it, don't let me live." Qin Yu shook his head and sighed.

The two chatted and walked into a large daily necessities store.

Qin Yu walked in and glanced around, patted the little mud splattered on his legs with his hand, and said with a smile: "This store is quite big, there are not many people there."

"You can take a look around and buy whatever you need." Qi Lin took a sip from the electronic cigarette.

Qin Yu heard the sound and walked around the shelves, but the more he walked, the tighter his frown became. He walked back and forth for more than ten minutes, but didn't pick up a single item.

"Why don't you get something?" Qi Lin asked as he came from the counter.

Qin Yu frowned and looked at Qi Lin, blinked and asked, "Brother, are you asking for help?"

"What's wrong?"

"The goods in this house are at least 30% more expensive than outside, and many of them are fake... I pinched the quilt, and it looked like it was stuffed with steel balls. It pricked my hands, brother!"

"...the goods are not very good, but our new superintendent all buys here."

"Why?" Qin Yu was confused.

"Because this store is opened by Captain Yuan's cousin," Qi Lin said in a low voice, "it is considered the designated purchasing unit of the superintendent."

Qin Yu's expression collapsed when he heard this, and he held it in for a long time before replying: "Then I would like to ask, is Director Li also shopping here?"

"You're making excuses now. Even if Director Li dares to buy, Captain Yuan won't dare to sell." Qi Lin rolled his eyes and explained: "The people who come to buy are all newcomers. If you buy for two months, there is no need to be here in the future. In stock.”

"If I don't buy it for a day, aren't I treating people like a fool?!" Qin Yu said without hesitation: "Let's go, take me to another store."

Qi Lin was stunned: "All the extra money has been spent, are you still short of this? Listen to me, buy it all here, don't be special."

"I bought a phone to give the captain face." Qin Yu stepped out and walked out.

"Hey, Xiao Yu, listen to me..."

"Do you get a commission?"

"Listen to me, yes, you buy some..."

"Buy a toilet paper. The toilet paper is made like a razor blade. I have to use a band-aid every time I wipe it." Qin Yu didn't discuss it with the other party at all and just walked out.

…

Half past four in the afternoon.

In the dormitory building of the Police Department, at the door of the 2nd dormitory of the 1st Criminal Investigation Team, Qi Lin smiled and shouted to several people in the room: "Third brother, the new guy has been brought back."

In the room, six or seven young men were playing cards around the round table. When the leader heard Qi Lin's voice, he raised his head and glanced at Qin Yu: "Come in."

The two of them heard the sound and entered the house. Qin Yu glanced at the indoor environment and saw that the house was less than thirty square meters in total, but there were six bunk beds, a total of twelve beds, two public iron cabinets, and Lots of personal items. All in all, it looks very crowded, but the surface is quite clean, and at least it doesn't have any special smell.

"Qin Yu, let me introduce you. This is the third brother, the team leader of our action group." Qi Lin pointed out the other party's identity tactfully: "The third brother has been working in the company for three years. He has outstanding business capabilities and is Captain Yuan's right-hand man. Third brother, this is Qin Yu, our new brother."

"Hello third brother." Qin Yu smiled and extended his palm to the other party.

The third child, who had a crew cut, turned his head and glanced at Qin Yu. Holding the card in his hand, he only nodded to him symbolically and asked, "Where are you from?"

"An area to be planned." Qin Yu responded truthfully.

The third child was stunned: "Area to be planned? What are you doing there?"

"Help the boss deliver some goods, mainly daily necessities."

"Running on the road? That's not easy."

"No, no, I will be responsible for driving."

"Ah, driver." The third child's surprised eyes disappeared, and he asked lazily: "How did you get into the Police Department?"

"My friend said hello, I joined the Police Department at my own expense."

"Haha, did you buy it with money?" Lao San just stared down at the cards in his hand and said, "Okay, you can wait for Captain Yuan to come back to make arrangements. Qi Lin, let him live in the bed by the window."

"good."

Qi Lin heard the sound and said to Qin Yu: "You can stay on the bed inside."

"Okay." Qin Yu carried the luggage he had just stored in the guard room and the newly purchased daily necessities, and was about to walk inside.

"Hey, wait a minute." Lao San turned his head and saw what Qin Yu was carrying, and shouted immediately.

"What's wrong, third brother?" Qin Yu turned around.

The third child glanced at the convenience bag in Qin Yu's hand: "Where did you buy daily necessities?"

"I forgot the name, it's just a store next to the unit." Qin Yu responded casually.

The third child was playing cards and asked with his back to Qi Lin expressionlessly: "Qi Lin, you didn't tell the newcomer where we bought things?"

Qi Lin felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. Because he wanted to say in front of Qin Yu himself that this kid didn't listen to advice, which seemed a bit unjust. But if he didn't say anything, he would be blamed for it inexplicably.

After a brief silence for two seconds, Qin Yu immediately said: "Qi Lin told me to buy daily necessities across the street. But the things there are a bit expensive, and I didn't have any money, so I went to buy them next door."

"Two." The third child played his cards. After waiting for Qin Yu for a few seconds, he replied: "Ah, it's okay. Just make the bed."

"Hey." Qin Yu nodded and walked to the inside, lowered his head to open the package and started to make the bed.

Qi Lin stood nearby, helping to tidy up diligently, while whispering: "The newlyweds have just entered the dormitory, and they all sleep on the upper bunk by the window. Because of the air leakage here, it is quite cold at night... When you turn around, put your coat on the quilt." , just hold on for a while and wait until new people come in."

"It's nothing, I've lived outdoors for several months." Qin Yu didn't take it seriously at all. He lowered his head to open his luggage bag, pulled out two boxes of Zhonghua cigarettes from it with a subtle movement and stuffed them into Qi Lin's hands.

"What are you doing?" Qi Lin was stunned when he caught the smoke.

"I just saw you smoking an e-cigarette." Qin Yu replied with a smile: "I don't have much good stuff on me, so I will give you two boxes of this. I have been busy with you all day. Thank you Ang."

In this era where eating is a problem, flue-cured cigarettes are a very luxurious thing. What's more, this is an old brand from before the first century, and most smokers have never seen it, let alone smoke it.

Qi Lin held two boxes of cigarettes and said with a very surprised look in his eyes: "You can get this toy in the area to be planned? China, haven't seen this thing in many years?!"

"A poor place also has its advantages." Qin Yu grinned: "I'll clean it up myself. You go and do your work. I'll treat you to something to eat later."

"Thank you Ang, brother!" Qi Lin was not polite, lowered his head and put the cigarette into his pocket.

While the two were talking, the third child suddenly turned around, looked at Qin Yu with a crooked neck and said with a smile: "Hey, do you still have some hard goods in your hand?"

Qin Yu didn't expect that this person had been observing him, so he was stunned for a moment and replied: "A friend gave it to me."

"What a good thing, we have never seen it before." Lao San said with a sneer.

Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, then immediately took out two boxes of Zhonghua, walked over and said, "We are all brothers, let's smoke together. Come on, come on, let's take one each."

Qin Yu gave Qi Lin cigarettes because he was a little embarrassed to accompany him for a day of shopping, so he took two boxes of cigarettes to express his gratitude, but he didn't feel that he owed anything to the people in the room. But now the third child saw it, and made it clear. He considered that he would have to live in this house in the future, and he didn't want to make too much noise, so he thought about it, lowered his head and took out a box of Zhonghua from his bag.

At the card table, the third child reached out and pushed Qi Lin's arm away: "This cigarette is too good. I've never smoked it before, so I'm not used to it."

Qi Lin was stunned when he heard the sound.

When Qin Yu heard this, it was a bit harsh. He frowned and stuffed the cigarette back into his bag, and continued to pack his things.

The third child threw down his cards, with a smile on his face, and turned around and said to Qin Yu: "We have a rule here. When a newcomer comes, he will be on duty for three days in a row. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, you will be on duty on the road, no problem. Bar?"

Qin Yu heard the sound and looked up at Qi Lin. The latter's eyes were a little dodgeful, and then he immediately understood something: "Third brother, how do you arrange the three-day shift?"

"It's just a continuous cycle, in the team during the day and on the street at night." The third child picked up the water glass and took a sip.

"Is there overtime pay, haha?" Qin Yu asked again.

"With the rules of my team, how can I get any overtime pay?" Lao San replied without even raising his head.

"Xiao Yu, please wait three days in line. I'll find someone to join the class and stay with you for two days." Qi Lin hesitated for a long time, looked down at the Chinese cigarette in his hand, and then said it bravely. .

"You are quite generous, Xiao Qi." The young man sitting to the left of the third child joked with a smile.

"We are all brothers, we help each other." Qi Lin smiled.

The third child put down his water glass, pointed at Qi Lin and said, "After he receives his uniform, you tell him how to arrange his shifts."

"Okay." Qi Lin nodded.

"Third brother, I can't schedule this class." Qin Yu suddenly said.

After the words fell, the room fell silent for a moment.

The third child licked his lips, tilted his head and looked at Qin Yu and asked, "The newcomers can do it, why can't you do it?"

"I have a bad heart and can't stand staying up late."

"It's okay. I'll prepare some quick-acting heart-saving pills for you. You have to wait for three days."

"I told you, I can't arrange it." Qin Yu responded with a smile.

"What a fool!" After being scolded by the newcomer for two consecutive times, the third child's face suddenly turned gloomy: "Who has more fathers than you? You can arrange them, so why can't you?"

"Third brother, third brother, we are all brothers, what do you think we are doing? Let's talk about it... haha." Qi Lin stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Bang!"

Lao San punched Qi Lin on the shoulder: "You are a JB, do you have the right to speak? Who is your brother?!"

Qi Lin clutched the cigarette in his hand and lowered his head because of the rebuke. He stood there, neither continuing to talk nor turning around and leaving.

The third child led the four people forward, looked at Qin Yu with his head crooked, and asked: "Your shift will be yours for the next week and the whole week. When will you have a heart attack? When will it be over? Do you understand?"
