The next morning, Ren Yu reported to Hongwu public security branch.

This branch is not far from their fire brigade. Although it does not belong to his jurisdiction, it also has some contacts at ordinary times. He doesn't know when there will be more Gong Yingxian here.

In the sub Bureau, he met Song Bei, who invited him to assist in the investigation.

Song Bei is an old policeman. Now he is the captain of the third squadron of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Hongwu branch. He looks very kind.

Ren Yi stretched out his hand: "Captain song."

"Captain Ren, Hello, sit down."

The two shook hands. Ren sat down. He looked around the office. The glass was translucent and could see the people coming and going outside.

Song Bei said with a smile, "please be the captain. Come here on a hot day."

"You're welcome. You're an elder. It's reasonable for me to tell you. Just call me Xiao Ren, but you also know my last name. It's a little embarrassing."

Song Bei laughed: "so I still call you captain."

Ren Yu said with a smile, "listen to our chief of staff, is there a reversal in the case of jumping from a building?"

"Yes, we were supposed to close the case by suicide, but recently there has been a new situation, which may be related to an economic case, so I would like to ask you to assist in the investigation. After all, you knew the scene better at that time."

Ren Yi nodded: "impressed."

He remembered that it was the middle of the night. It was more than four o'clock when people entered deep sleep. Suddenly, there was a police situation. Several young people who had just come back from jumping Di found a person strung on the iron fence in the courtyard of a foreign house on the first floor of the community, and the blood flowed down the downhill path to the door of the community.

When the fire engine arrived, people were still angry. They cut down the fence. The ambulance took people with the fence to the hospital, but it died before it reached the hospital.

They all thought it was suicide. Unexpectedly, the case has changed in the past two months.

The cooperation between the fire department and the police has been quite close. Because of many accidents, the fire department is the first to arrive at the scene. In order to rescue people or property, it often makes unavoidable damage to the scene, especially fire.

Song Bei spread the photos of the scene in front of Ren Yu and helped him recall: "I read your police report. If you recall, what other special details do you have?"

Ren Yu tried to restore what he saw at that time with his memory.

Song Bei seriously asked many questions. They sat in the conference room for more than two hours.

Suddenly, Song Bei said curiously, "are you looking at an acquaintance?"

"Ah? What?"

Song Bei raised his chin: "I see you look out of the window as soon as someone passes by."

"Well, I'm sorry." Ren Yu was extremely embarrassed. He picked his hair and immediately despised himself. Why was he nervous at the thought of meeting Gong Yingxian? It wasn't him who deserved it.

Song Bei looked at his watch: "Oh, it's noon. I'm sorry to delay you for so long. Let's go and invite you to dinner."

"No, it's all right. You're busy. My squadron is close. I'll go back to eat."

"That's very interesting. Let's go. There's a good restaurant nearby. I just want to hear your father's story. I've heard a lot about you."

Ren Yu said with a smile, "then I'm not polite."

"Go, go, go."

When they walked out of the meeting room and passed the office area, they saw that the personnel were walking out, and only one person came in their direction against the flow of people.

Gong Yingxian!

Ren Xuan picked his eyebrows and saw Gong Yingxian. As he had seen twice before, he came face to face in a straight suit with two long legs. He was wearing white gloves and carrying a plain paper bag in his hand.

Their eyes met, and Gong Yingxian's surprise flashed through his eyes.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Gong Yingxian nodded: "Xiaogong, eat."

Gong Yingxian also nodded: "Captain song." He glanced at Ren Yu as if he were looking at a stranger.

"Let me introduce you. This is Ren Yu, the young and promising captain of Phoenix Fire Squadron, who has come to help us investigate the building jumping case. Captain Ren, this is Gong Yingxian, our top student who just came last year, a doctor of chemistry at MIT."

The words all came to this son, but Song Bei didn't see the two shake hands, but stared at each other. He wondered, "do you know each other?"

"I don't know."

The two said in unison, speaking fast, as if they were afraid of losing if they spoke slowly.

Song Bei touched his chin.

Ren Yu said, "Captain song, let's go. I'm really hungry."

"Oh, let's go."

When Gong Yingxian went away, Song Bei said with a smile, "well, didn't you expect that our branch had a policeman who looked like a star? The day he came, our lesbians almost went crazy."

"Well... Unexpectedly, he's your man?"

"Yes, a wonderful young man is a little... Lonely."

Ren Yu thought to himself that the adjective "lonely" was too polite. He asked, "why does everyone go out and he goes in?"

"It's noon. Everyone goes to the canteen for dinner. He, Hei hei." Song Bei shook his head. "He doesn't eat with us."

"Why?"

"He is a cleanliness addict. He only eats what he brings."

"Can you be a criminal policeman if you are so unsocial?"

"The sea embraces all rivers." Song Bei ordered his temple. "He has a good brain, can fight, has great courage and many resources. We need all kinds of talents."

Ren Yu still couldn't help his stomach Fei. He shouldn't donate instruments to him.

"Moreover, there is a reason why he is so unsocial. I can understand."

"Oh? Why?"

Song Bei smiled and obviously didn't intend to say more. Ren Yu didn't ask again. After all, it had nothing to do with him. It seemed suspicious to ask more.

----

After dinner, Ren Yu took time to go home and had an afternoon tea with his father before returning to the squadron.

As soon as he got to the squadron, Qu Yangbo called him to the office.

There were three people sitting on the sofa in the office, two men and one woman. As soon as he entered the room, they all stood up.

The two men are nothing special. The only girl is tall with short hair like boys. Although she has a good appearance, she does not see the tenderness of women, but looks full of heroism.

Before Ren Yi could speak, the three men saluted together: "Hello, captain."

Ren Yi also saluted, and then looked at Qu Yangbo with puzzled eyes.

"Oh, this is the candidate Firefighter I recruited for our squadron. Of course, you have to interview in person."

Ren Yu scanned the three people and said, "well, it's a little late today. Go back first and I'll inform you of the interview time."

"Goodbye, Captain and instructor."

After the three left, Ren Yu stared at Qu Yangbo: "what do you think? Female soldiers?"

"What happened to the female soldier." Qu Yangbo shrugged, "which document stipulates that female soldiers cannot be recruited?"

At present, they are facing the restructuring of fire control. The last batch of active armed police will be newly recruited last year. By the end of the year, they will retire at the same time and become professional, from the Ministry of public security and fire control to the Ministry of emergency management. And recruit full-time firefighters.

When they recruit firefighters, they naturally give priority to those who have served in the fire brigade. As a squadron leader, he has the final personnel power, while Qu Yangbo mainly does civil and political work and is responsible for the early recruitment.

But he never thought that Qu Yangbo wanted to recruit a female firefighter.

Ren Yu frowned: "there are more than 40 old men in our squadron. Is it convenient? Dear comrade Bobo."

"Calm down first, dear comrade Yan Yan." Qu Yangbo hung his signboard smile, "in September, several people want to retire from the army. We only recruit three full-time personnel in half a year. It's far from enough."

"You can't mess around without enough personnel."

"Why did you mess around? Do you have any opinions about female soldiers?"

"I have no problem with female soldiers, but do you think this line is suitable for her? When she was a soldier, at least there were women around. If she came here... I was thinking of her. Does she know how difficult this road is?"

"I think she thinks very clearly." Qu Yangbo pushed his glasses. "You didn't have an interview. It's not good to directly deny her. According to my contact, she is a qualified fire fighter."

"Fire fighters have to go to the front line. The front line is not suitable for women."

"This is discrimination and prejudice."

"Don't pressure me with this. Go and ask several fire brigades across the country. Is this a problem of prejudice? It's a problem of type of work."

"We are not an ordinary squadron. We are a secret service fire squadron. We should have a mind of accepting all rivers. Oh, by the way, she is still your junior sister and graduated from the fire command major of the Armed Police University."

This is the second time Ren Yu heard the word "a sea embraces all rivers" today, but from Qu Yangbo's mouth, he smelled something different: "Yangbo, your brain should be clearer than me. Do you listen to what you are saying now? Are you hiding something from me?"

Qu Yangbo took off his glasses, slowly wiped his glasses and put them on again: "when the restructuring is completed, the publicity department will do a series of work to show the new image of the emergency management department to the people all over the country. A valiant female firefighter, do you know how much attention you can attract for our squadron."

Ren Yu lowered his head: "the news is so well-informed that your father told you?"

"Sort of."

Qu Yangbo is a senior cadre's son. It seems that he was destined to take an official career from birth. Although they are friends for many years and Qu Yangbo has helped him a lot, they still often disagree on many things.

Qu Yangbo patiently advised, "Ren Yu, I know you're worried that a girl is not suitable for such a dangerous job. Anyway, she's under your control. You just treat her as a mascot. She doesn't let her go on some scenes. She wants to be a firefighter. We lack firefighters, and she can add luster to our squadron. Isn't everyone happy?"

Ren Yu looked directly at Qu Yangbo's slightly luminous lens, but couldn't see his eyes: "if I don't agree."

Qu Yangbo said with a faint smile, "as an instructor, I always have one vote."

Although they are equal, according to the principle, Qu Yangbo's words carry more weight than him, at least in the above.

Although Qu Yangbo didn't beat him with this.

"All right, now that you have decided." Ren Yu's tone is not very good.

"Brother, I know you're not very happy, but I'm all for our good." Qu Yangbo said, "I don't deny that I want to be promoted. Who doesn't want to be promoted? You don't want to engage in politics. I have to think for us. I hope we can all go higher and higher. Only the squadron is good, we will be better, huh?"

Let's listen to you. Anyway, it turns out that you are always right in the end

Qu Yangbo touched his head and said with a smile, "that's good."

Ren Xuan opened his claws and just wanted to scold him, the alarm bell rang.

He rushed downstairs: "what's the situation?"

"... unlock."

All the soldiers howled of collapse.

Ren Zhuzheng was a little angry. He turned his eyes and said, "police list."

The correspondent handed it to him. He took out his mobile phone and dialed it according to the police list: "Hello, fire brigade."

At the other end of the phone came an anxious old woman's voice: "firefighters, when will you come? My grandson is going to school. I have to cook for him!"

"Aunt, we are very unprofessional in unlocking. I suggest you find an unlocking company."

"Why look for the lock company? Can't you open it?" Aunt shouted, "the lock company doesn't want money!"

"Aunt, that's right." Ren Zhuo said patiently, "there are three ways for us to open the door, which increase according to the damage level, namely breaking the lock, removing the door and smashing the wall. The specific methods can only be determined when we arrive at the scene, but we can't open most of the slightly more complex locks, and it's common to remove the door. We're free, but it's very expensive for you to change the lock and door."

"... you're not lying to me."

"I didn't lie to you. If you can't surf the Internet, I can introduce you to an unlocking company."

"Can you introduce me?" Aunt's ending tone is raised, full of doubt.

Ren Yi took a deep breath: "Auntie, opening a lock will cost hundreds of dollars. I didn't take back the deduction."

"Oh, all right."

"Please call 119 to cancel the alarm just now."

The other end hung up.

Ren Yi crumpled the police list into a ball and threw it to the correspondent on duty. "If you want to unlock it in the future, it will be handled like this unless there is an emergency at home.

"Yes."

Ren Yu pressed his sore temples and felt a burst of irritability. It was probably because there were too many things happening during this period. He was also angry. It was too unhealthy.

He decided to take a short vacation, accompany his father, get together with friends, or make an appointment.
