Soon after, the people from the detective unit arrived; the person was Zhao Donglai.
Zhao Donglai asked Luo Fei to pack up his things, while he entered the office with Zhou Weimin. After about half an hour, Zhao Donglai came out of Zhou Weimin’s office, and then Luo Fei bid farewell to everyone at the police station before leaving.
As he left the police station, Luo Fei turned to look back at the place where he had stayed for the past few months, feeling a sudden wave of reluctance. However, once he turned his gaze forward again, that reluctance was quickly gone.
The police station in Songxin Town was merely the starting point of his ambitions; he aimed for greater and farther horizons.
The distance between Songxin Town police station and the detective unit wasn’t far, just a few kilometers. In less than ten minutes, Luo Fei and Zhao Donglai arrived at the detective unit.
After getting out of the car.
Looking at the office building of the detective unit, Luo Fei couldn’t help but feel a bit excited. He had visited the unit a few times before, often wondering when he would finally be able to work in the detective building. Now he had made it, thinking about working here in the future brought him indescribable joy.
"Come on, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to look around later!" Zhao Donglai smiled as he noticed Luo Fei gazing up at the detective unit building after getting out of the car.
"Let me brief you on the detective unit’s situation. The detective unit (note: the professional term should be criminal investigation unit, but ’detective unit’ rolls off the tongue more easily, so we’ll use that term) currently has 23 members, five squads, three action groups, a police dog squad, and a technical squad. The leader of Action Group One is Yang Su, with three members; Group Two is led by Zhang Fan, with four members; Group Three is led by Wang Dong, with four members; the police dog squad is led by Liu Qiang, with three members; the position of head of the technical squad is currently vacant and temporarily filled by Yang Mei, with three members. As for you, you’ll start in Group One; you’ve interacted with your leader Yang Su before, so you should find it easier to adjust....
Zhao Donglai walked ahead, introducing the internal structure of the detective unit to Luo Fei as they went.
At the entrance of the Action Group One office, a detective with a crew cut, Yang Su, was already waiting.
Yang Su knew Zhao Donglai had gone to the police station to pick someone up. He was greatly pleased to have Luo Fei join his group, as Luo Fei had proven his abilities through several murder cases and had even captured the A-level wanted criminal, Jiang Sanqiang. Who wouldn’t want such a capable subordinate?
As Zhao Donglai and Luo Fei reached the second floor, Yang Su hurried over to them, unable to hide his enthusiasm.
"Officer Zhao, thank you for your hard work," Yang Su said gratefully.
"I’m glad you know that. I’m handing him over to you now. I have to head to the bureau for a meeting. Get Luo Fei settled in, and take him around to meet everyone. Also, inform everyone that there’ll be a dinner at Taibai Building this evening to reward everyone’s hard work during this period and to warmly welcome Luo Fei into our detective team."
Zhao Donglai instructed Yang Su, then turned to Luo Fei and said, "From now on, you’re a member of the detective unit. Work hard. Both Director Wu and I have high expectations for you. I’ve vouched for you in front of Director Wu, promising to nurture you into a talented asset. Don’t let us down."
"I will." Luo Fei nodded deeply, genuinely grateful for Zhao Donglai’s faith in him.
Once Zhao Donglai left, Yang Su led Luo Fei to the Group One office.
"Wang Lei, Xia Zheng, Zhong Jun," Yang Su introduced the three members of the detective unit’s Group One to Luo Fei.
Wang Lei was a thin-framed guy with small eyes; Xia Zheng, with short curly hair, was tall and slender, resembling a Korean pop star; Zhong Jun was the most typical detective among the three, with a square face, crew cut like Yang Su’s, and a sturdy build.
"Luo Fei."
Luo Fei shook hands with the three.
"You’re quite the celebrity, Luo Fei. All of us know you, isn’t that right, Xia Zheng, Zhong Jun?" Wang Lei asked Xia Zheng and Zhong Jun with a smile.
Zhong Jun nodded, and Xia Zheng followed with, "Definitely. Hardly anyone in the detective unit doesn’t know about Luo Fei. He was awarded a personal third-class merit at the commendation ceremony for the Su Xiao and Tang Youquan murder cases, just like Officer Zhao. But the coolest part was when Luo Fei captured Jiang Sanqiang bare-handed. Everyone in the detective unit knows about that."
"It was all just luck," Luo Fei replied modestly. Meeting new colleagues for the first time, he didn’t want to come off as too presumptuous.
"Luo Fei is now one of our team members. He’s just joined, so you three should support him in both work and life," Yang Su reminded from the side.
"Of course, boss. We’re all part of a team," Wang Lei confidently assured.
Following that, Yang Su began introducing Luo Fei to the rest of the team.
Technical room.
Wu Xiaoyue had just returned from the restroom to the technical room. She spotted Zhao Donglai bringing Luo Fei over from the playground area.
So upon returning to the office, Wu Xiaoyue walked up to Yang Mei, who was comparing fingerprints, and gossipingly said, "Yang Mei, guess who I just saw on the playground?"
"Who?" Yang Mei asked nonchalantly without looking up.
"It’s Luo Fei from the Songxin Town police station, the same little cop who received a personal third-class merit at the last commendation ceremony and captured Jiang Sanqiang," Wu Xiaoyue emphasized, fearing Yang Mei might not recognize Luo Fei.
"Luo Fei?" In doubt, Yang Mei lifted her head to look at Wu Xiaoyue.
"Yes, it’s him. I just saw Officer Zhao bringing Luo Fei here. I wonder what he’s here for? But truth be told, this little cop is really impressive; not only did he earn a personal third-class merit but also captured Jiang Sanqiang. He’s more competent than many of us in the detective unit, and I heard a rumor that Luo Fei isn’t even a police academy graduate but entered the police station through a public service exam."
Thinking for a moment, Yang Mei hesitantly said, "Perhaps Luo Fei is being transferred to the detective unit."
"Transferred to the detective unit. Did you hear anything about that, Yang Mei?" Wu Xiaoyue asked Yang Mei, full of gossip.
"My uncle mentioned wanting to transfer Luo Fei to the detective unit last time," Yang Mei replied.
"Then it’s likely," Wu Xiaoyue agreed.
Just as Yang Mei and Wu Xiaoyue were discussing Luo Fei, Yang Su had already brought Luo Fei to the technical room.
"Yang Mei, Xiaoyue, what are you discussing?" Yang Su asked as soon as he entered the room.
"Group Leader Yang, why are you here? Do you need something?" Yang Mei inquired upon seeing Yang Su and Luo Fei enter, then curiously glanced at Luo Fei.
Yang Su shook his head with a smile, saying, "No particular reason, just bringing the newcomer to get acquainted with everyone."
"Luo Fei, have you been transferred to the detective unit?" Yang Mei looked at Luo Fei in surprise.
"Yes," Luo Fei nodded.
