The ancient capital city is a famous historical and cultural city, as well as a famous tourist city, and its status in the Central Plains Province is second only to the provincial capital.

Since it is a famous city, the scale of the city is not comparable to that of ordinary medium-sized cities like Shuiquan.

After Chen Guan arrived in the ancient capital, he looked at his watch, and there was still an hour and a half before 7 o'clock in the evening, so he found a traffic police officer on duty in the police booth on the side of the road, asked how to go to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, drove the car to the side of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, parked on the sidewalk, and then stood on the side of the road and looked around.

When Chen Guan went to university, he took a car from Mingshui to Shuiquan, and then took a train from Shuiquan to the provincial capital. In other words, Chen Guan had never been to the ancient capital before, and his understanding of the ancient capital came from books.

When Bai Aiyue and Chen Guan first fell in love, they once told Chen Guan that her mother's greatest wish before her death was to take her daughter to the White Horse Temple in the ancient capital to go to the pillar incense, and ask the Buddha, when can a woman's suffering be a leader? At that time, Chen Guan swore that Bai Aiyue would not let Aiyue's sister suffer in this life! Now, the two sisters Bai Aiyue and Bai Aixiao went to the United States to visit relatives and study, and it is no longer possible to be peasant women in Wulongshan District, nor can they suffer and suffer, but Chen Guan's promise to take Bai Aiyue to Chongqing's mother's hometown to see and go to the White Horse Temple to offer incense has not been implemented.

Chen Guan, who has just become the deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department and the director of the Gudu City Public Security Bureau, at the moment he walked into the ancient city, he was not thinking about the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, not about how to open up the work situation to the best of his ability, not about the joy of being promoted beyond the norm, but about the Aiyue girl who went to the United States to visit relatives and study, which is really strange!

Man, the heart is really wider than the sea, and there are so many things that can hold it!

If you let Tantai Mingyue know that Chen Guan is thinking about Wulong's daughter Bai Aiyue at this time, it is estimated that she can tear him up and eat him!

Chen Guan retracted his thoughts, looked at it for a while, and felt that the ancient capital city was indeed much larger than the water spring, not to mention anything else, but judging from the width of the road and the size of the traffic flow, this city was much more prosperous than the water spring. It's just that the ancient capital city seems to need to be expanded, the buildings are old, crowded, and the characteristics are not obvious enough!

After watching it for a while, Chen Guan stopped looking, so he found a small shop selling pulp noodles and meat sandwich buns on the side of the road, asked for a bowl of battered noodles and two meat sandwich buns, and ate them without stopping.

The most famous banquet in the ancient capital is the water banquet, which was handed down by Wu Zetian during the Tang Dynasty; The most famous snack is the syrup noodles, which are sour and salty and delicious, with an endless aftertaste.

While they were eating, two people wearing industrial and commercial uniforms came in and asked the boss to pay the business fee for this month.

The boss is a middle-aged woman in her 40s, who met two people from the industrial and commercial offices, wiped her hands on her apron, took out some change from the small iron box where the money was placed, and smiled all over her face, calling her comrades while telling that the business was not good, that she had to pay this and that, and that she could take care of it.

The people of the two industrial and commercial offices refused to take care of it, saying that the industrial and commercial fees were paid in a fixed amount, and it was only a few dozen yuan a month, so how could they take care of it!

The boss paid the industrial and commercial fees, and pulled the people from the two industrial and commercial offices, saying that he wanted to serve them noodles to eat.

As soon as the two people from the industrial and commercial office left, they scolded: "There is no good thing in uniform, I think about collecting money every day, and I dare to collect any money!" If it weren't for the fact that you bastards who see money only recognize money, would the Four Seas Song and Dance Hall be able to get a permit? Can so many people die? Those who have received a thousand knives are not afraid of death and hell! ”

The summer schedule is to go to work at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and get off work at 6:30 o'clock, this time is not the time for dinner, there are only two or three people eating in the snack bar, and the boss's scolding is heard very clearly and harshly!

Chen Guan also wears uniform, although he now wears civilian clothes.

One of the diners said: "It's strange that a fire killed so many people, and even the secretary of the municipal party committee, the mayor, the deputy mayor in charge, the director of the public security bureau, and the political commissar were dismissed, but the cause of the fire could not be found." Is this fire spontaneously combusting? ”

The proprietress said, "that ass!" The fire started from the basement, even a fool knows that the basement is not a mountain of flames, and if there is no spark, where can it spontaneously combust? You don't have to think about it, someone must have thrown cigarette butts on the cloth in the basement or on the sofa. Otherwise, there would be a fire somewhere! ”

The diner said, "Even if someone throws a cigarette butt and no one sees it, and he doesn't take the initiative to admit it, and then he slips away, what can the public security bureau do?" It was a fire, and nothing was burned out! ”

The proprietress stopped scolding, sighed, and said: "We people also know that public security is not easy, and this case is difficult to solve!" Don't we hold our breath and want to curse? ”

The diner was silent, and snorted and continued to drink the noodles.

Chen Guan couldn't sit still, so he pulled a bowl of noodles into his stomach, settled the bill, and walked out of the snack bar, feeling better.

There was still an hour before 7 p.m., and Chen Guan walked around next to the Public Security Bureau. Who knew that it was turning around, and it turned to the door of the municipal party committee and the municipal government. Only then did Chen Guan find out that the geographical location of the Gudu City Public Security Bureau and the Shuiquan City Public Security Bureau was almost the same, and they were both opposite or diagonally opposite the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, and the distance was very close.

It seems that when engaging in urban planning, the designers paid attention to the safety and security functions of the Public Security Bureau!

A group of people gathered at the gate of the Gudu Municipal Party Committee, waving a white banner with big red characters written on it: "Give back the lives of my relatives!" "Repay the blood debt from the murderer!"

Chen Guan pretended to be indifferent, walked up to take a look, and saw a group of cadres patiently persuading. After listening to it for a while, I knew that it was the families of the victims of the ancient capital fire who came to the municipal party committee to discuss the law, and they kept saying that the public security bureau would not solve the case and do nothing! It is said that the Sino-foreign joint venture mass trafficker shirks responsibility, refuses to compensate, and destroys humanity!

The persuading cadres vowed that they would urge the public security bureau to do everything possible to crack the case and find out the real cause of the fire. If someone arson or unintentionally ignites a combustible material to cause a fire, the culprit must be arrested, a public trial, and justice for the victims!

At this time, it was not as prominent as the social contradictions more than ten years later, there were not many mass incidents, and the families of these victims also knew that they had to rely on the municipal party committee and the municipal government to solve the problem, and they were more rational.

No one knew Chen Guan, and no one knew that he was the newly appointed director of the Gudu City Public Security Bureau, so Chen Guan stood aside and watched and thought like a nobody.

Chen Guan is not afraid of contradictions, and he also understands the feelings of the victims' families, but he doesn't understand that it has been 17 days since the catastrophic fire accident in the ancient capital, how could the public security bureau not solve the case? Could it be that all the clues of the fire guide have been lost?

Chen Guan, who frowned, left the door of the municipal party committee, walked around, and thought as he walked.

It is the rush hour of traffic in the city when I get off work, and the traffic and people are crowded together, and it is very noisy!

In fact, the charm of the city is also here, and it is popular!

When Chen Guan turned to an intersection, he found that the traffic lights here were not on, and the two traffic policemen were directing traffic with whistles in their mouths and small flags in their hands.

Chen watched for a while, and felt that the two traffic policemen had a standard standing posture and neat movements, and nodded involuntarily, feeling that the Su zhì of the traffic police in the ancient capital was good!

Just thinking about it, a middle-aged man was riding a bicycle, dragging a vegetable basket behind the bicycle, with a large bundle of celery in it, pressing the bicycle bell, and shouting "get out of the way", "get out of the way", ignoring the flag and whistle of the traffic police, and directly broke out.

A traffic policeman spat out a whistle in his mouth, stopped the man, and wanted to detain his bicycle!

The man opened his mouth and scolded: "Mom, you sell x!" Which mother-in-law's crotch is torn, revealing your hanging ashes? Aren't you just wearing a skin? What's the big deal? If you have the ability, don't give the Sihai Song and Dance Hall a fire permit? Do you have the ability to catch the murderer who burned so many people? What kind of ability is it to bully our people? Lao Tzu just doesn't pee on you, what can you do? Can you still bite Lao Tzu's bird? ”

It was the rush hour after work, and the two traffic policemen were busy directing traffic, and there was really no way to take the man, so he really let him ride a broken bicycle away!

Chen Guan heard it clearly, the people on bicycles were scolding the public security, scolding the public security for being incompetent, and they couldn't even catch an arsonist, and they lost their ancestors!

There was a young man riding a bicycle, shouting as he walked: "In the past, bandits drilled deep into the mountains, but now bandits are mixed with public security!" ”

An old man on the side of the road who sells groceries with a burden in his hand shakes a rattle in his hand and shouts as he shakes it: "As soon as the police traffic police team is in charge, one stop on the street will be charged." The second-class police criminal police team, got drunk before the case was solved. The third-class police security team arrested the prostitutes and slept on their own. The fourth-class police security team is an underworld in itself! ”

Chen Guan didn't want to listen to it, so he walked up to the old man and asked, "Uncle, it's not appropriate for you to shout nonsense like this, right?" ”

The old man was shouting nonsense, and when he saw Chen Guan asking him, he was embarrassed, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "We are ordinary people, what do we know?" It's all made up by someone else, I'll shout it casually! ”

As he spoke, the old man carried his load of groceries and left, shaking the rattle as he walked and continued to shout: "Look, look, the needles and threads are all incomplete!" The aunt and sister-in-law bought a little, and went home to fly the needle and walk the line. Even if you haven't learned needlework since you were a child, it doesn't matter, it's better than the group of wretches in the ancient capital public security! ”

Chen Guan couldn't wait to pull the old man over to have a good theory, but he could only shake his head when he thought about it. He's a public security chief, so what's the competition with an old man who sells groceries!

This is what Chen Guan saw and heard when he first came to the ancient capital, and what he heard and saw was the people's dissatisfaction with the public security!

For a while, Chen Guan, the young deputy director of the Central Plains Provincial Public Security Department and director of the Gudu City Public Security Bureau, fell into deep thought!
