0266【Investiture Ceremony】
"Mr. Falcon, how do you feel about receiving your commendation?"
At the press conference of the National Police Department, four or five reporters interviewed around the freshly baked "big hero" Falcon in the police station.
Originally, the big hero grandly launched by the police department was the "Tiger of the Serious Crime Unit" Old Henry.
However, old Henry was thin-skinned, and always felt that he did not dare to seize the credit, so he excused himself from the award due to illness.
I don't care about it, who wouldn't want a reward for nothing? So he gave it all to Falcon.
Falcon was overjoyed, he thought that old Henry was sick by doing this! But the illness is good, and now the credit is all his.
"Ahem, I am very grateful to the police force, and I am very grateful to all my colleagues!" Falcon made a perfect opening statement.
The colleagues around him all looked at him with envy.
"Lucky guy!"
"Yes, this time I guess I will have to take up a job."
Some of the female colleagues also had their eyes shining.
"Falcon is so handsome!"
"yes, I wonder what it will be like when you get on the podium later?"
Not far away-——
"Damn bastard, take all the credit from you, boss!"
"Yes, you killed those four bandits alone!"
King Kong and Sharu Khan looked at Falcon who was being interviewed with dismay.
Du Yongxiao didn't care, he didn't tell Howard about winning the knighthood medal for himself, for fear that they would make a fuss.
Old Henry came over at some point, "Du, can you talk a few words?" ”
"Yes, sir!"
Du Yongxiao accompanied old Henry to a remote place.
Old Henry took out a cigarette and handed it to Du Yongxiao.
Du Yongxiao took it and pinched it in his hand: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
"I'm sorry, although this apology is a little late." Old Henry hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I know very well who the protagonist of this commendation meeting is. ”
"You're welcome, sir!" Du Yongxiao smiled, "I never cared about this!" ”
"I know, that's why I'm more sorry!" Old Henry said, "The commendation meeting will begin later, and I hope you won't be upset about it." ”
"Of course not!" Du Yongxiao shrugged, "I'm here for training, not for merit!" ”
"You're a good man, Du! Also an excellent young man! Old Henry patted Du Yongxiao on the shoulder, "I'm optimistic about you!" ”
……
The commendation meeting began.
The press conference hall was filled with black presses.
The people sitting on the stage were all senior police officers, led by the Commissioner of Police.
He took the lead and sat upright in the C seat.
The rest of the people, left and right, in order.
The audience was full of Metropolitan Police officers, and the Falcon who received the commendation sat at the top of the front row, with his head held high and his face arrogant.
Du Yongxiao, King Kong, Sharu Khan, and seven other trainees all sat at the bottom of the seat.
As people who came to Scotland Yard for training, they are always "outsiders" here.
The National Police Agency has arranged media personnel on the left and right sides to take pictures and record the shooting.
The ceremony begins.
Play the music.
The police spokesperson, who served as the moderator, first gave an in-depth description of the last bank robbery, emphasizing the organizational ability of the London police, as well as the emergency response ability to deal with urgent matters.
After the speeches were almost complete, the bigwigs in the police circle were invited to make specific summaries and speeches.
Senior Superintendent, Chief Superintendent, up to Commissioner of Police, and so on.
In addition to the full-hearted and exuberant winner, Falcon, many people in the audience listened drowsily.
Those media reporters crackled and took pictures, trying to complete the task.
Finally, when the ceremony officially began, Falcon was invited to the stage as a heroic figure.
The falcon strode onto the stage, holding his head high, arrogant, unbelieving, as if he was the real hero.
Offstage, some policewomen screamed.
The Senior Superintendent of Police stood up to present the award to him personally.
For his outstanding performance in the bank robbery, Falcon was awarded the "Gold Medal of Valor" by the British Police Force.
This kind of medal is unique to the Force and belongs to the local "internal decoration", although it is a big difference from the national "knighthood", but it is also a symbol of glory.
Winners can enjoy three times the monthly salary, as well as a week of paid vacation, and will be given priority in future job promotions.
On stage, the falcon accepts the medal, and the camera focuses on him.
At this moment, he is the pride of the sky and the light of the police force!
He raised his head and looked down, especially glanced at Du Yongxiao contemptuously.
In his opinion, no matter how powerful Du Yongxiao is, what then? Sort of a fart!
……
Bang Bang Bang!
After the award, the applause was thunderous.
Those police officers were full of envy of the falcon, and even those who knew the truth envied the good fortune of the falcon.
As for Du Yongxiao, a real hero, no one cares, not even a shot.
The white police officer sneered at Du Yongxiao, and the hillbilly from Hong Kong also wanted to be a hero and daydream.
King Kong, Shalu Khan and a few others clenched their fists to fight for Du Yongxiao.
Du Yongxiao himself looked calm, as if he was indifferent to everything in front of him.
Bang Bang Bang!
There was another round of applause in the hall.
The award ceremony is coming to an end.
The crowd on stage had already begun to get up from their seats.
The audience also began to stir.
The falcon grinned and grinned down to accept the congratulations of his companions.
"You're amazing!"
"Yes, Falcon! You are our hero! ”
Media reporters on both sides began to pack up their filming equipment.
"Is that the end of it? Bastard! Sharu Khan scolded loudly.
Du Yongxiao patted Shalu Khan on the shoulder and motioned for him to get up and leave.
At this time—
"I'm sorry, but the award ceremony isn't over yet!" The Commissioner of Police suddenly picked up the microphone and said.
"For some special reasons, there is another hero who needs to be honored by us - sorry, the media on both sides, it is better not to take pictures!"
"Uh, what do you mean?"
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
"Then now invite our finale hero - Du Yongxiao, Sheriff Du to play!" The Commissioner of Police gestured in the direction where Du Yongxiao was sitting. ’
Du Yongxiao was stunned, he still thought that his award was carried out in private and would not be made public, but now-
Even Du Yongxiao himself was a little confused, let alone others.
After the Commissioner of Police shouted Du Yongxiao's name, the scene-
Rumble!
The whole thing is blown up!
"What do you mean? Give Du Yongxiao a medal?"
"Oh my God, did I hear me wrong?"
The whites were all blown up.
Even old Henry was stunned, "How can this be?" ”
Still showing off his might, the falcon plucked his ears hard: "How is it possible?" ”
King Kong and Sharu Khan were about to drop their jaws in surprise and hugged each other: "God open your eyes! ”
"Even if it is awarded, it may be a small medal!"
"Yes, what glory can a Hong Kong person get?"
Some whites scoffed.
"Give him a bronze medal from the sky!"
"Hahaha!"
didn't wait for these people to finish laughing-——
Commissioner of Police: "I almost forgot to tell everyone that this time Sergeant Du Yongxiao Du got -"
The scene was immediately quiet -
"The British Empire-——
Knight's Order! ”
