In the dressing mirror that is more than one person high, Du Pingping seriously put on a blue tie on his newly worn white shirt, and then looked at Susan, who was waiting next to him, to show his style.

"How's it going?"

Susan smiled and handed over the suit that had been washed and ironed at the dry cleaners the day before, helped him put it on, and kissed him on the cheek.

Susan, "You're so handsome!"

"We're not going to be late, are we?"

Susan raised her wrist and showed the pair of women's watches on Du Ping's wrist, "I'm looking at the time!

Time flew into the time when Regan's second son, Susan's second brother, was about to graduate from the James Police Academy. Early in the morning, Susan drove her own car to Du Ping's apartment, pulled Du Pingping back to her home, and personally supervised Du Pingping's personal image in the hall. At the same time, he told Du Pingping about the Reagan family's obsession, that is, his dedication to the graduation ceremony of the police academy. Because this school and this graduation ceremony are as important as the coming-of-age ceremonies that almost every man in the Reagan family has to go through, as if it indicates that he has truly become a member of the Reagan family. So on this important day, not only Susan and Du Ping need to dress seriously, but also Frank and Reagan Sr. are also seriously repairing.

When he thought he had trimmed it well, he finally tried to express his personal opinion.

"I don't want to be late for James's big day, I don't want to be hated by him for the rest of my life." ”

Susan viciously told Du Fair, "He dares!"

Du Ping laughed brightly.

Du Ping hugged Susan hard, "Even if he doesn't dare, I don't want to be late." I'm ready to go!"

Susan carefully checked the results of her supervision again and nodded.

Susan, "Alright! Let's go." ”

Susan took Du Fair's arm and walked through the door together, into the stairs under Regan, and then saw Linda and Naomi sitting on the sofa in the living room, dressed up, waiting for the two of them.

Linda jokingly approached Susan and Dufren, "You're finally down! I thought we had to be late this time." ”

Du Fair, "I'm sorry!"

Du expressed his apologies, but Susan had an expression on her face as if it wasn't anything.

Linda, "It's okay! can we go?"

Susan, "Yes. ”

Linda looked at Du Fair, "The tie that Susan chose for you really matches you." ”

Du Fair, "Thank you!"

…………………………

The huge stadium, covered with the national flag, streamers and lights like a sky full of stars, surrounded by viewing seats full of heads, and on the rostrum, a row of senior police officers dressed in police uniforms were sitting with smiles on their faces.

The music sounded, music similar to military music, and a group of students in a square formation began to enter the huge stadium. Forward, backward, turning ...... One by one, the phalanx began to perform the results of their police academy drills in the past few months for everyone present in accordance with the set tasks, causing continuous warm applause from the group of relatives and friends of the student police officers in the surrounding audience.

Although two important men from the Reagan family sat on the rostrum of the ceremony as the new and old commissioners of the New York City Police Force, Du Ping, Susan, and Linda still sat in the seats of ordinary family and friends, as if they were no different from the families of other newly graduated police officers. It's just that there is still a little bit of an accident about this very important thing for the Reagan family, that is, Daniel, who is the eldest son of the Reagan family and James's brother, suddenly called and said that he could not attend this important moment in his brother's life due to work reasons!

After a brief period of complaining, the women of the Reagan family accepted this unchangeable thing, and continued to cheerfully wave the flag for their family's new police officers, constantly waving small flags in their hands to show support.

Linda excitedly pointed to a direction, "I see James!"

Naomi, "Yes, he's so handsome!"

Susan, "Remember to take pictures!"

Linda, "Yes! Shoot, shoot!"

After Susan's reminder, Linda immediately picked up the camera hanging on her side and started taking wild photos. In fact, the people around were similar, and many people from the group of relatives and friends were excitedly applauding and taking pictures of the cadet police officers performing below.

The performance below soon ended, and one by one the phalanxes began to converge continuously, turning into a small phalanx, which was lined up in the middle of the square field below, under the rostrum. Then, with a serious face, Frank got up from his seat and walked straight to the podium set up on the rostrum. He adjusted the microphone on the stage to the position he was used to, and then cast his eyes on the cadets below who were looking at him expectantly one by one with a smile.

Frank, "Now, on behalf of the New York City Police, I stand here to extend my warmest welcome to all of you new police officers. Thank you for your dedication, and today you will join the New York City Police, the world's finest disciplined force, and you will be a part of the world's most trained and high-profile police force, as we are. At the same time, you will also take up the great responsibility of protecting the City of New York. Serving the city of New York, one of the most dynamic and desirable cities in the world. Every day, we have a responsibility to protect the city of New York, from crime, and from terrorism. Although the city will always be at the forefront of the world's economic and technological development, and you will be tempted by many temptations that you cannot imagine, you will always have the most basic moral values, and you must distinguish between what is right and what is wrong. Because the future security of this city is due to your selfless dedication and hard work. Now we all wear the same blue uniforms and the same police insignia, which means that you are officially part of the best disciplined forces in the world. …… Congratulations, congratulations to your relatives and friends, you have now officially told them that you are a new batch of New York City police officers. ”

The moment Frank finished his speech, countless white gloves below were thrown into the air by the cadet policemen one by one. One by one, the cadets jumped up, hugged each other and congratulated each other. In the audience of the surrounding relatives and friends, countless relatives and friends also began to rush down from their positions, came to the square, and came to the cadet police team.

Frank smiled and looked at everything below, as if it had happened countless times in history, and turned around to see a senior police officer coming up to him and starting to shake hands and hug him one by one. But in first place turned out to be the old Reagan. It turned out that the elder Regan, as the former police chief, also attended the ceremony with Frank. Old Regan hugged Frank and whispered in his ear.

Grandpa, "Well, that's the end of the story. I'm going down to my grandchildren and celebrate with them!"

Frank whispered, "Help me congratulate James." ”

Grandpa, "I will." ”

In the square below the rostrum, Linda and Du Ping had already found James, and several of them had begun to hug and take pictures with James.

…………………………

Daniel was standing on a bench in a park with a disgruntled expression. Henry came to him with two cups of coffee in his hand and handed one of them to Daniel.

Henry, "Don't be angry!"

Daniel, "Can you not be angry? It's James' graduation, and it's one of the most important days for the Reagan men! Everyone has gone there, but I'm here. ”

Then look at the bench where you sit. A very young black guy, judging by his age, is actually more like a teenager. Dressed in a very fashionable and stylish colorful sweatshirt, he is now sitting very quietly on a bench belonging to the northern city park. Because of that hood of the sweatshirt, everyone thought he was just sitting here asleep. Until a patrol officer arrives and tries to wake up this motionless guy, only to find that he has been dead for a long time.

Then Daniel and Henry were temporarily sent here by those guys at headquarters.

Then Daniel had to be absent from James' graduation ceremony.

Next to the bench, a chubby medical examiner was performing a preliminary autopsy on the body of a black guy sitting there. Seeing Daniel looking over, he immediately showed Daniel a friendly smile. But his actions still show that he will have a long way to go.

Daniel sighed, and Henry began to comfort his partner, his friend.

Henry, "I see what you think, but it's such a fucking job to call us in!"

Henry looked at his watch and reminded Daniel.

Henry, "The time should be almost up, don't you want to make a phone call first?"

Daniel took a look at his watch, immediately accepted Henry's suggestion, took out his phone, and walked outside the cordon. The phone rang out, and there was a boisterous voice, mixed with James's hard shouting.

James, "Daniel?"

Daniel, "Yes, I'm Daniel. First of all, congratulations on completing the police academy and officially becoming a real New York police officer. Second, I would like to say that I am very sorry. ”

James, "I've heard that there's something going on there. Don't worry! I understand. I love you, brother. ”

Daniel, "I love you too, James. ”

…………………………

The moment James closed his phone, he saw Linda look over.

Linda, "Daniel?"

James, "Yes. ”

Linda, "How's he's going?"

James, "It went well. ”

Linda, "Really?"

James, "Of course. Okay, let's go ahead and take pictures, shall we?"

Linda, "Okay, let's move on to the photo. ”

Grandpa had already arrived, and everyone got together and asked a cadet police officer next to him to take a group photo for them. All of them were left with big smiles.

…………………………

In the evening, at dinner at Regan's house, everyone was still talking about the graduation of their second son, James, as a police officer.

Grandpa, "Frank, your closing speech is really too indiscriminate!"

Linda immediately agreed, "I remember when Daniel graduated, that director, what was it called?"

Grandpa," George, George McKay. ”

"Yes, that's him. He spoke very well, making people feel that kind of blood boiling. ”

Linda looked at Daniel to the side and began to ask for Daniel's approval, "Isn't it, Daniel?"

Daniel paused his meal, thought about it seriously, and replied, "I was down there, and I was only thinking about why I was still bothering about it! I just wanted to finish the speaker's speech as soon as possible, so that I could graduate, and I didn't feel that way." ”

Daniel's words immediately caused a burst of laughter from everyone in the family.

Grandpa, "George is like that, bragging is better than working!"

Linda, "But people went to Washington. ”

Grandpa, "So it's good that he went to Washington, so Frank will have a chance." ”

Several people looked at Frank at the same time.

Linda reminded her husband, "Frank, you don't want to say something?"

Frank looked at James, "Judge, do a good job! I'm the chief of police now, but I can't really help you." Many pairs of eyes are looking at you, and maybe you get more pressure than you get, like walking on thin ice. If you don't believe me, you have to ask Daniel. ”

Daniel smiled and nodded, "That's right! But because more people are paying attention, your results will not be forgotten or hidden." This means that if you have gain, you will lose, and if you lose, you will gain. ”

James, "Got it. Actually, I'm more interested in what I'm interested in now than my graduation ceremony, Daniel, what's going on with you?"

Grandpa, "Little James, I can't wait to get ready to work, but it's a pity that you can only start as a patrolman now." What an unforgettable experience!"

Frank, "Father, it's not your time anymore, the current patrol officers have been issued police cars, and the police cars are air-conditioned, unlike your time, where you can only walk on two feet. ”

Grandpa, "I know, but I still think the patrol will be an evocative experience for James in the future." ”

He raised his glass.

Grandpa, "For the Patrolmen!"

Everyone, "For the Patrol! For James!"

Putting down his glass, James looked at Daniel again.

James, "Daniel, you haven't answered my question yet. ”

Daniel glanced at Frank and replied, "Because of police discipline, I can only tell you that it was a gang-related incident. ”

Linda seemed to have guessed something, "Is it the case in the North City Park?"

Daniel, "Yes. ”

Linda, "I heard that the person who died was only 17 years old, and it was a child. ”

Daniel, "Yes. ”

Linda, "You see there's something to hide, it's been covered enough on TV. The 74 Gold Gang, a juvenile minority gang, has risen very aggressively and arrogantly in the past two years. Likes to make trouble on the subway. ”

Daniel looked at Frank helplessly, "That's not what I said!"

Frank was still dancing his knife and fork, "Even if it is reported on TV, if you say it, the Internal Security Department will review you after it knows." So the police are the disciplinary department, even at home. ”

Frank looked up at James and emphatically reminded him, "So are you! ”

Daniel danced his knife and fork hatefully, "Yes! James should pay special attention to this, the internal security department is like a poisonous snake, which is dedicated to his own people. ”

Frank, "Daniel, heed what you say! The Department of Internal Security is a strong, effective force that keeps the police department pure, and that's just their job. ”

Daniel, "Yes! Of course I do." It's just the fact that many police officers don't like them. ”

"So it's all the more respectful to them, and every agent in the Internal Security Department is under more pressure from the inside out." They are all warriors. ”

Frank looked at Du Ping, who was whispering to Susan.

Frank, "Du Ping, how is your work going over there?"

"It's going well! I've reached an agreement with the school that I'll be working in a few student associations this week." ”

Grandpa, "I thought you'd do a big referral event throughout the school. ”

"Yes, I'm not going to do that. From the analysis of the composition of police officers in recent years, in fact, there is little interest in the social elite and those who aim at the social elite. On the contrary, young people with traditional religious beliefs, stable families, and a strong sense of social responsibility will be interested in choosing to become police officers, so I think that carrying out large-scale police publicity activities throughout the school to attract highly educated talents to become police officers will have a lot of energy investment, but the results will be low. Therefore, I contacted several study associations of Didujiao, Geer people, and Oriental people in the school, and planned to start my activities here. In this way, it is easier for college students with a sense of social responsibility to think about their future life choices than those who pursue high economic value, so as to absorb highly knowledgeable police officers for the police to the greatest effect. ”

Frank listened carefully to Du Ping's plan, "That's good! I agree with your idea, and it seems that you will also think seriously about this project later." I also think that if some highly educated people with impure purposes are brought into the police force, they do not know how to recruit some people with good moral character and discipline into the police force. ”

Old Reagan put down his knife and fork and looked at Du Fair.

Grandpa, "Why is there still an Oriental association?" But Oriental, what are your considerations?"

"Because I am an Oriental, I have a better understanding of Orientals. The people of traditional Eastern countries such as Dong Liuqiu, Zhao Guo, Li Guo, Jin Guo, and Nguyen Guo actually prefer obedience, prefer to obey discipline and endure pressure, and are natural soldiers and policemen. Coupled with the multi-ethnic nature of New York City, more minority police officers would actually improve the image of the police. ”

Frank thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Du Pingping's opinion, "I basically don't disagree with your opinion. Go ahead and do it!"
