Chapter 21
Lian City’s search and arrest team unit.
As a city-level search and arrest unit that maintained the stability of a large city, the office building of Lian City’s search and arrest team unit was much more magnificent than the office building of the second team.
Looking at the solemn and dignified badge hanging in front of the building, Chen Yan could not help but feel solemn in his heart.
This was Chen Yan’s second time joining Lian City’s search and arrest unit.
The first time was two months ago, and he was waiting to be allocated here.
Captain Zhang Yunhu picked up Chen Yan and a dozen other trainee policemen from here.
And this time, when Chen Yan stepped into this place again, he was here to receive merit.
In Hua Country, third-class merit was distributed by the city-level search and arrest unit, second-class merit was distributed by the provincial team, and first-class merit, or even higher special-class merit, would be distributed in the capital city.
Coincidentally, Chen Yan’s meritorious service this time was in time for Lian City search and arrest unit’s annual summary and commendation conference.
In the conference hall, Chen Yan was currently sitting in the advanced commendation personnel team with a red flower garland.
Three white shirts were sitting in the middle of the rostrum, and six blue shirts were sitting on both sides. At this moment, the white shirt in the middle was speaking.
Chen Yan had seen the other party before. Two days ago, when he was the leader of the Bloody Cross murder task force, he had seen the other party in the video.
It was this person who had told Chen Yan and the others that they would only bring their eyes and ears to the meeting.
“Comrades, in the past year, Lian City’s police have abandoned their families and protected the city with their sweat and protected the people with their lives. On behalf of all Lian City’s police, I would like to extend our highest respect and heartfelt thanks to all the family members!”
Clap clap clap…
The applause was thunderous. Chen Yan was also affected by the speech, and he excitedly raised his hands.
“Over the past year, we have resolutely fought against crime and punished evil. The vast majority of the police have used their lives to fulfill their original intentions. Last year, a total of 13 officers died at their posts…”
“Please all stand-up and observe a moment of silence for the officers who have sacrificed themselves!”
Whoosh!
All the participating police officers in the meeting room stood up, saluted, took off their hats, and observed a moment of silence.
“At the same time, we also have many officers who have performed extraordinary feats. Now, let’s give them a commendation!”
“First of all, please come up to the stage to receive the award!”
“Now, let’s give a warm round of applause to the representative who has received the collective third-class merit. Please come up to the stage to receive the award!”
At this moment, Zhang Yunhu walked up to the rostrum with his head high up while wearing a red flower garland.
There were also two people who went up to the stage together.
In other words, this year, there were only three collective third-class merits in the entire Lian City police force!
“Finally, let us use the warmest applause to invite those individuals who have received individual third-class merit points to go up to the stage to be awarded!”
Whoosh!
The gazes of the entire audience were focused on the left side of the rostrum.
A bam was sounded.
Chen Yan stood up from his seat. His standard police posture and standard salute were sonorous and powerful!
Three people, a total of three people, were ready to go up to the stage to be awarded!
“Let’s invite the one who had received the individual third-class merit, Lian City’s search and arrest anti-drug unit, the first-class detective Wang Chongen, to go on stage to be awarded!”
There was no sonorous standing posture, but the salute posture was still accurate.
Two policemen carried a wheelchair and brought Wang Chongen to the rostrum.
“Salute… Salute!”
Bam!
Everyone stood up and saluted!
Wang Chongen, the anti-drug police fell down from the fifth floor with the drug dealer while they were fighting. Although he survived, he was paralyzed.
“I would like to invite the individual with third-class merit, Li Ting, the head of the First Division of Lian City’s search and arrest unit, a first-class director of investigation, to come on stage and receive his merit!”
Li Ting walked onto the stage, but when he saluted, he used his left hand.
Chen Yan was the only individual who went on stage to receive his third-class merit with a complete body.
“Chen Yan, the third-grade detective of the second team of Lian City’s search and arrest unit, has consecutively solved the internet recruitment prostitution case involving a large amount of money. He has also solved two criminal cases involving vicious homicide and has received two individual third-class merits!”
Whoa!
Two individual third-class merits?
Although many policemen below the stage knew that the second team had recently solved three major cases consecutively, one recruitment of prostitution case, and two vicious homicide cases.
However, they did not know that it was actually the work of one person!
One had to know that the second team of the search and arrest unit could already obtain collective third-class merit.
Now, there was still a policeman who had obtained two individual third-class merits, which meant that this case was basically solved by him alone.
“All rise! Salute!”
The buzzing sound disappeared, and everyone stood up. Whoosh!
Salute!
Chen Yan stood at the rostrum with a red flower garland.
To be honest, Chen Yan was a little nervous. He was very nervous.
It was the first time in his two lifetimes that he stood in such a big meeting room to speak.
Initially, he was a little nervous, but when Chen Yan saw Wang Chongen sitting in a wheelchair and Li Ting, who only had one arm, Chen Yan’s back was straight!
“Leaders, colleagues, the families of the policemen who sacrificed themselves today, on behalf of all the policemen in Lian City, I promise to the citizens of Lian City!”
“We will use our lives to fulfill our oath to join the police, to dedicate ourselves to the noble cause of the police, to be loyal and responsible, to act in a just and upright manner, to protect justice and ensure that the people live and work in peace!”
Under Chen Yan’s oath, the entire venue appeared even more solemn.
“All of you! Attention!”
“I swear…”
“I swear!”
“We will use our lives to fulfill our oath to join the police, to dedicate ourselves to the noble cause of the police!”
“We will use our lives to fulfill our oath to join the police, to dedicate ourselves to the noble cause of the police!”
“We will be loyal, responsible, and act in a just and upright manner!”
“We will be loyal, responsible, and act in a just and upright manner!”
“To protect justice and ensure that the people live and work in peace!”
“To protect justice and ensure that the people live and work in peace!”
The deafening sound of the oath seemed to resound over the entire Lian City.
After leaving the search and arrest unit, Chen Yan was a little taciturn.
In the past, Chen Yan wanted to become a police officer because of his interest. But today, Chen Yan’s thoughts had changed a little.
When he saw Wang Chongen in a wheelchair and Li Ting’s empty sleeves…
When he heard that in just a year, 13 police officers had died in Lian City…
Chen Yan understood that he became a police officer not just because of his interest.
“Captain Zhang.” Zhang Yunhu, who was beside Chen Yan, was not as sad as Chen Yan. It was the same at the annual summary and commendation meeting. He was somewhat used to it. “Why did you become a police officer?”
Hmm?
Zhang Yunhu looked at Chen Yan curiously.
“Why are you suddenly asking this?”
Shrugging his shoulders, Chen Yan smiled. “It’s nothing. I’m just asking.”
Zhang Yunhu did not care too much. “When I graduated from the police academy, I naturally became a police officer. There shouldn’t be any special reason, right…”
Zhang Yunhu’s gaze suddenly became distant. “But later, my partner’s senior brother sacrificed himself to save me, and then we found the target.”
“… Some things must be done by someone.”
Chen Yan did not continue to ask, and Zhang Yunhu did not have the intention to continue.
However, it was just as Zhang Yunhu had said.
Some things must be done by someone.
..
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Returning to the compound of the unit, Chen Yan, who got off the car, was startled.
All his colleagues stood in two rows.
Liu Qingshan and the two vice-captains were holding party poppers in their hands, which had just been wrung open.
“Welcome back, Hero!”
“Let’s go.” Zhang Yunhu obviously knew about this. He patted Chen Yan’s shoulder and said, “Today, we celebrate the team’s achievement of collective third-class merit. And you, two individual third-class merits. Let’s have a celebratory feast!”
Actually, the so-called celebratory feast was relatively simple.
Everyone had a feast in the cafeteria.
It was impossible to drink alcohol. Everyone used tea as a substitute for alcohol to celebrate the team’s achievement of collective third-class merit.
To celebrate Chen Yan obtaining two personal third-class merits, and also Chen Yan officially becoming a famous policeman!
