Hai Feng came to the Mingtan Branch, and here, there was a person who was the first person he thought of when he received Qiu Zhiyong's order to form a special team, a person with a smart mind and a serious worker.

When Hai Feng saw Zhao Zhijie, he had just come back from outside, carrying a single police equipment in his hand, his hair was messy like a bird's nest, his police uniform was sticky with pieces of sweat, and his pants were rubbed with a layer of loess, hanging his head, like a deserter who had lost a battle.

Hai Feng couldn't believe that the young man in front of him was Zhao Zhijie, for fear that he had recognized the wrong person, he asked the young man with doubts: "Zhao Zhijie?"

Zhao Zhijie heard someone shouting his name, he raised his head, and he looked a little embarrassed when he saw the person in front of him: "Captain Hai, why are you here, I'm sorry, I have a duty today, I just came back, you have been waiting for a long time, you sit down for a while, I'll pour you a glass of water." ”

Hai Feng watched Zhao Zhijie put down his police uniform and hurriedly went out, remembering their first meeting. At that time, he was still in the criminal investigation team, which was a special operation related to criminal cases, Hai Feng was the operation team leader of that operation, and Zhao Zhijie participated in that operation as a technical support personnel.

Zhao Zhijie, who met for the first time, looked still a little green, carrying a big toolbox, which made him a little thin.

At that time, no one paid attention to this police recruit, especially for the criminal police who often fought on the front line, Zhao Zhijie, the newcomer's reaction speed was a little slow, everyone rushed out to arrest the suspect, he hadn't gotten out of the car yet, everyone ran back to transfer the battlefield He hurried back to the car just got off the car.

At that time, Hai Feng was very dissatisfied with the newcomer assigned to him by the Mingtan Branch, he felt that the Mingtan Branch was deliberately making trouble for him, and it was originally a group of action groups with the least personnel, and he had to carry such a burden, not only to worry about arresting the suspect, but also to worry about the safety of this newcomer, which made him feel a little distressed.

At the end of the first day of arrest, the results of the arrest were not smooth, and there were actually many fish that slipped through the net under the special task force, and they all disappeared without a trace as if they had disappeared from the world, and half of the people wanted to be arrested by Haifeng's action group were here. While Hai Feng was worrying, the young man suddenly knocked on the door of his room.

"Captain Hai, I analyzed all the suspects' related items and analyzed their relevant information, I found some clues, they also have a hidden location, I think they should be hiding there. ”

Hai Feng looked at the recruit in front of him, his eyes were red, and his voice was immature, but there was a hint of firmness in his words.

Hai Feng asked the recruit to tell him his analysis and judgment, listening to his gushing reasoning and analysis, looking at the light of wisdom that seemed to be shining in his eyes, Hai Feng felt that his previous thoughts were completely wrong. He realized that the young man in front of him would not only not be his burden, but might be his powerful helper.

After listening to the recruit's explanation, Hai Feng immediately called the members of the action team to gather urgently and prepare to set off. He took a single coat from the hanger and walked out. When he was about to reach the door, he turned his head and saw the recruits following him, and he stopped: "What's your name?"

"My name is Zhao Zhijie. ”

"I haven't slept all night, let's go back and sleep! ”

No one expected that Haifeng's action group with the least personnel and the heaviest task was actually the group that completed the task best. Those caught in the net were all caught by this team, and it was also because of the outstanding performance of this group that the capture operation was successfully completed.

Of course, the meritorious service award will never be Hai Feng's turn, and Hai Feng doesn't care and continues to do his thing. But this newcomer who was not afraid of tigers made a deep impression on him. In the years that followed, Hai Feng experienced many job changes and never saw this newcomer again, but he did not forget this recruit who was good at trace identification.

But Zhao Zhijie in front of him has no former demeanor, and he is completely decadent.

"It's time to get off work, are you free in the evening? Let's have a meal together!" Hai Feng said to Zhao Zhijie.

Zhao Zhijie looked at Hai Feng, thought for a while, and said, "Then you wait for me for a while, I'll change my clothes." ”

Hai Feng and Zhao Zhijie sat in a barbecue restaurant, looking at Zhao Zhijie in front of him eating like a kitten who had been bullied and wronged. Hai Feng didn't know what those people in the Mingtan Branch had done over the years, and they had made a young man so decadent.

The two of them sat silently eating, drinking, and the noise around them did not interfere with their little world.

The two of them didn't know how much wine they drank, the liquor on the table was only empty bottles, and the ground was already occupied with beer bottles, and Zhao Zhijie, whose face was flushed, finally said his grievances.

"Captain Hai, I'm sorry, I don't know your current position, so let's call you Team Leader Hai. I was surprised that you came to see me today, after all, we haven't seen each other since that operation. ”

"How have you been in the past few years?" Hai Feng picked up the glass in his hand, took a sip of wine, and asked Zhao Zhijie seemingly casually.

"I'm not having a good time, I'm ready to quit, I'm looking for a job for a long time. But looking for a job is not smooth, I studied computers, I originally thought that the Internet is a red ocean, the development is so good, it should be easy to find a job, but I don't know what's going on, the whole industry is laying off employees overnight, originally applied for a company, the interview was passed, and the contract was almost signed, and suddenly there was no news. ”

Saying that, Zhao Zhijie's voice changed: "Maybe I've been a policeman for too long, I don't know anything, and the technology is out of touch, so no one can look at it." Seven or eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. I'm also in my thirties, and it's all young people outside, so I might have to eat here and wait for death. ”

Zhao Zhijie took a sip of wine and continued: "Originally, I was very yearning for the police force, my first job was to be a technician in the police department, there was a good leader, I was happy to work every day, the relationship between colleagues was also very harmonious, and the working atmosphere was very good. Later, the Mingcheng City Bureau recruited police, and I signed up. At that time, the grades were very good, and I was successfully admitted. My family is also very happy, they feel that my dream has come true, and they are happy for me. ”

Zhao Zhijie choked up and continued: "I originally thought that I could give better play to my strengths and would stay in the technical department. But I don't know what's going on, and I was assigned to the Mingtan Branch. ”

Zhao Zhijie paused and continued: "When I first arrived in Mingtan, I was assigned to the police station, which is a suburban urban-rural junction. I come into contact with Zhang's family every day, and I come and go every day. As for his own major, it is also wasted. The director knew that I was studying computer science, and joked that there was no other place in the institute where I could play my profession, but he could leave the work of repairing TV sets to me. ”

Zhao Zhijie smiled bitterly, and then said: "I have worked there for three years, and I have worked day and night for three years, but because I don't care, the materials for applying for joining the party have been taken away and become someone else's materials for joining the party." I was ready to quit. Later, I was transferred to the Trace Identification Section. That's where I got the opportunity to work with you. ”

Zhao Zhijie glanced at Hai Feng and continued: "At that time, the top leader in our bureau attached great importance to our department, and he knew very well that there would be no national security without network security. Therefore, great importance is attached to the development of network security work. Every once in a while, they come to inspect our work. At that time, I was in charge of network trace identification, and I did a good job, and the assessment of the municipal bureau has always been the first. He has also handled many major cases. Although it is not as skilled as the brother units in the south, it can be regarded as one of the best in Mingcheng. ”

Zhao Zhijie took another sip of wine: "Later, the leader was transferred, and the new leader is not interested in network security, and he rarely comes to us, so he can see him once or twice a year! It doesn't make a difference to me either. I still take my work seriously and work overtime to do tasks. ”

Zhao Zhijie looked at the empty wine glass in his hand and muttered: "But all this is indifferent to that leader, he doesn't care and doesn't care." For him, cybersecurity is just a matter of getting things done, and it doesn't matter at all. ”

Zhao Zhijie paused and said, "Since he came, the equipment in our department has not been updated. At that time, I was busy and couldn't go home for weeks, and I couldn't finish every night at three or four o'clock. I applied for VIP several times, and each time I said that the staff was nervous. I haven't asked anyone to come after all these years. ”

"I had a car accident when I went to the city bureau to deliver the case documents, and the unit's bus only had compulsory traffic insurance, which was not enough at all, and after I told my boss, he didn't let me trouble the unit, and let me solve it myself, tens of thousands of yuan, and half a year's salary was gone. But what can I do, people are under the eaves, I have to bow my head!" Zhao Zhijie shook his head helplessly.

Zhao Zhijie picked up the skewers on the table, took a bite, looked up at Hai Feng, saw that he was still silent, and continued: "I divorced two years ago, and the custody of the children is in the hands of my wife, and I divorced by agreement. I don't blame her, I deserve it. At that time, it was an anti-crime operation, and I was in the task force, and I didn't go home for more than two months. The child had jaundice, and his wife was alone at home, and she couldn't take care of it, so she cried and called me to go home, saying that the children were almost gone, and what kind of bad work were I doing. But when the project was about to take place, and the brothers had been working hard for so long, how could I go back to this joint? By the time the project was over, I hurried home and the house was empty. ”

"Fortunately, the child was rescued, but my wife also died and wanted to divorce me. Let's leave, she has been with me for so many years, she has not enjoyed any blessings, and she has suffered all her crimes. My colleagues ridiculed me before and said that I didn't earn any money, and people didn't go home, and my daughter-in-law had become a widow with me. really wronged her, she can live better after the divorce. It's just that I miss him when I can't see the child, but my wife didn't let me see the child, and agreed that I would see the child one day a week, but the unit often has something to do on weekends, and I can't see the child for a month. ”

Hai Feng poured Zhao Zhijie another glass of wine.

With tears in his eyes, Zhao Zhijie raised his neck and drank all the wine in the cup, and continued: "Some time ago, the cadres of the unit were adjusted, and several people in the department were promoted, but there was no share of me.

"My boss told me that if you don't go to the leader, who knows that you want to be promoted? Do you work hard because you don't want to be promoted? Why do you want to make yourself so tired? Is the leader's brain all mush? I don't understand such a simple truth? He also said that work performance is one thing, and human feelings and sophistication are also an important factor, saying that my comprehensive ability is not up to standard. ”

"What is the achievement of comprehensive ability? Is it only by relying on relationships and giving gifts that comprehensive ability is achieved? Then is there still someone who works on the ground? What I was thinking at the time was that I would not find someone, and I did not believe that I could not be appreciated by the leaders based on my work performance. But in the end, I was really the only one who stood still!"

Zhao Zhijie was obviously drunk, he lowered his head, looked at the cup in his hand, and choked up: "Team Leader Hai, what do you say I should do if this makes me?" I am already disheartened and already looking for a job, but I have not found it. I can only stay here, after all, I still have to eat, such a big person, I can't quit naked, I can't rely on my parents at this age, right?"

Hai Feng looked at Zhao Zhijie, who was already drunk, and he also felt a little sad, he was also very sad why people like Zhao Zhijie went through these tribulations, but he also knew how normal it was for an unrelated little policeman to be struggling to move an inch on Mingcheng's side.

Hai Feng asked the boss for a piece of paper and a pen, and he lowered his head and wrote on the paper. After writing, he folded the paper in half and handed it to Zhao Zhijie: "Tomorrow you have a good rest, come here to find me the day after tomorrow, if you want, I hope you can work with me." I'll talk about it at your unit. ”

Zhao Zhijie took the note in a daze, looked at Hai Feng, nodded fiercely, and said, "I'm sorry to let you see the joke, I drank a little too much today, and I complained to you." I would love to go and work with you. Don't worry, I'll be on time to report to you the day after tomorrow. After speaking, Zhao Zhijie put the note into his pants pocket and stood up slowly.

Hai Feng saw that Zhao Zhijie's body was unstable, and hurriedly held him up. called the boss to settle the bill, and helped Zhao Zhijie to leave the hotel.

Hai Feng sent Zhao Zhijie, who was already drunk, home, and walked alone on the empty road. The breeze blew, with a slight chill, and Haifeng's wine also woke up.

"You can't let him be in Mingtan anymore, Qiu Zhiyong, one of your decisions may change the fate of this child's life, and it can be regarded as a good thing. ”

Hai Feng thought as he walked in the direction of home.
