Chapter Fifty-Eight: Promotion in Disguise

It's time for awards and awards.

These chiefs at the scene are all familiar faces to He Jiahui, and it is the third time they have met in more than a month.

He Jiahui also lost the joy of being awarded the medal for the first time in his heart, and there was no point in brushing too much of a medal.

He walked up to Chen Jiaju and saluted with a serious face.

Chen Jiaju looked at the familiar young man in front of him, and said secretly in his heart: I have seen him three times this month, and I have not met my biological son so often.

Subsequently, Chen Jiaju awarded a medal to Ho Jiahui.

"Police Officer 66622 Ho Ka-fai, on behalf of the government, I will award you the Bronze Bauhinia Medal!" Chen Jiaju said.

"Thank you, sir! I will continue to work hard, fulfill my responsibilities and do my best to uphold the legal system of Hong Kong and protect the safety of the citizens! He Jiahui saluted again.

In the same honor system in Hong Kong, the Bronze Bauhinia Medal belongs to the seventh class, which is one level higher than the Bronze Medal of Valor that Ho Ka-fai won for the first time.

The Bronze Bauhinia Medal is mainly awarded to people from all walks of life who have served the society for a long time and have outstanding performance, and it is also a relatively outstanding and representative person in all walks of life.

As the Medal of Valor is already available in the disciplined services, it is rare for members of the disciplined services to be awarded the Bauhinia Medal.

But Ho Jiahui is an exception, because he just received the Bronze Medal of Valor and the Police Medal of Honor not long ago, and this time he can only be given the Bronze Bauhinia Medal.

Chen Jiaju smiled and nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, if He Jiahui solved another big case this year, there would really be nothing to reward.

Further up the Bronze Bauhinia Medal is the Medal of Distinction, which is an honour given to officers of the six main disciplined services and the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

It is not impossible for a police officer to receive the Medal of Excellence, as long as he dies in the line of duty and is posthumously awarded the Inspector, he can naturally be posthumously awarded another Police Medal of Excellence.

"Died in the line of duty?" Chen Jiaju looked at He Jiahui's vigorous posture, and looked much harder than himself.

Think about it again, I am busy with work all day long, I stay up late to lose my hair and my skin is poor, I don't look like I can live past He Jiahui!

……

Just as Ho Jiahui accepted the medal, Cao Dahua also came to the police headquarters and knocked on Li Wenbin's door.

"Please come in!" Li Wenbin's voice sounded, and Cao Dahua immediately pushed the door in.

"Sir, Kowloon West Region Cao Dahua, report!" Cao Dahua puffed up his chest and saluted very seriously.

"Okay, so familiar, don't come to this set. With this salute, your beer belly is about to burst the police uniform! Li Wenbin pointed to the chair in front of him, and then said, "Ah Hua, it's time for you to lose weight." A dignified police force management should pay attention to its image. ”

Cao Dahua sat down with a smile: "I'm going to retire in a few years, what image do I need!" It's not like you, sir, you will be promoted in the future! ”

"I'm busy today, but I don't have time to make small talk with you!" Li Wenbin lowered his head, looked at the documents in his hand, and said, "Do you know what I called you here for today?" ”

"If you call me, there will definitely be no good thing!" Cao Dahua replied directly.

"In your West Kowloon Division, there is a newcomer named Ho Ka-fai, who has been in the limelight recently! But I received two complaints, both about this Ho Ka Fai. Li Wenbin said with a straight face.

Cao Dahua's expression tightened slightly, put away his giggling expression, and asked with a straight face: "Sir Li, after He Jiahui came to West Kowloon, he can be said to have made many great contributions.

He killed the Dragon and Tiger brothers among the top ten bandits, took down the drug dealer's factory, and two days ago, he even captured the photographer A Bart among the top ten bandits, and the governors at all levels praised him! ”

"Don't be in a hurry to defend your people, listen to me first." Li Wenbin raised his head and said, "The first person to complain was Jiang Sir from the Narcotics Investigation Bureau.

Jiang sir has been talking to Lin Kun about that case, you should have heard of Lin Kun, not to mention that it is in Xiangjiang, in the entire Southeast Asian region, he is also a big demolition. And what Ho Jiahui dropped in Kwun Tong was Lin Kun's factory! ”

"No wonder, I was still wondering at the time, ordinary demolition families don't have this strength, it turned out to be him!"

Cao Dahua nodded suddenly, and then continued: "He Jiahui took off Lin Kun's factory, Jiang Sir should thank him, why complain about him?" ”

Li Wenbin continued: "Because it is already within the scope of the Narcotics Investigation Bureau's control, the Narcotics Investigation Bureau originally planned to monitor it for a long time, hoping to cast a long line to catch big fish. As a result, it was terminated by Ho Ka-fai, which sabotaged the deployment of the Narcotics Investigation Bureau. ”

"You can't blame He Jiahui! He was also unaware of the deployment of the Narcotics Bureau. And as a policeman, he can't find drug dealers and be indifferent! Cao Dahua immediately defended Ho Jiahui.

"But he can go and ask for help! If he had reported back to his superiors in time, he would not have ruined the deployment of the Narcotics Investigation Bureau! ”

Li Wenbin paused in his voice, and then said: "What's more, the drug factory is in East Kowloon, not your West Kowloon jurisdiction. ”

Cao Dahua was slightly stunned, he somewhat understood Li Wenbin's intentions.

Li Wenbin continued; "The second complaint, from Kowloon East Region, is about Ho Ka-fai's cross-district handling of cases."

"Sure enough, cross-district handling is Li Wenbin's focus!" Cao Dahua said secretly in his heart.

"The place where Ho Ka-fai caught the photographer Ah Bart is in an industrial building in Yau Tong, which is also under the jurisdiction of East Kowloon, right? Counting the Kwun Tong drug factory, Ho Ka-fai has already handled cases across districts twice in a row. Li Wenbin said with a serious face.

"Chief Li, He Jiahui ......" Cao Dahua was about to continue to defend He Jiahui, but Li Wenbin waved his hand and interrupted Cao Dahua.

I only heard Li Wenbin continue: "Ah Hua, I know you have to say that the police have seen the thief, even if it is not the area they are in charge of, they should go and arrest the thief, this is the duty of the police."

I understand this truth, and I agree with it! However, as commanders, we must not only think about problems with the simple thinking of the police catching thieves, but also take care of the overall situation.

Just imagine, if all the Regions were to handle cases across districts, and Kowloon East went to your West Kowloon to handle cases, and New Territories North went to New Territories South to handle cases, wouldn't the whole Force be chaotic?

If the Sham Shui Po Police Station goes to patrol the jurisdiction of Kowloon Bay, will you, the senior superintendent of Kowloon West Kowloon, readily agree? ”

Cao Dahua can understand Li Wenbin's difficulty, even if the final result of the police officer cross-district handling of the case is good, but for the chief of the police department, it is still a matter of principle.

The Force is a disciplined force and needs to act in accordance with regulations, although the regulations are dead, but they are also the fundamental basis for the normal operation of the Force. If everyone does things in violation of the law, then the whole police force will be in chaos.

The chief of Kowloon East stayed at Ho Ka-fai's cross-district case, most likely to save some face, but the management problems exposed behind this are something that the senior police force must pay attention to.

To put it another way, if the top brass of the police force let Ho Ka-fai's behavior go unchecked, then police officers from other divisions will follow suit, and everyone will go to other divisions to handle cases in order to make meritorious contributions, and the entire police case-handling system will be seriously affected.

It is also for this reason that Li Wenbin attaches great importance to the cross-regional handling of cases.

Cao Dahua thought about it and decided to do Tai Chi first, so he said: "Sir, this problem you said is not easy to solve, because many times, our police officers are involuntarily.

Take Ho Ka-fai's capture of photographer Ah Bart as an example, when Ho Ka-fai came to the jurisdiction of East Kowloon in order to hunt down a fugitive wanted criminal, and it was not Ho Ka-fai who took the initiative to run over.

Where the wanted criminals go is not something that we police can decide, it can only be where the gangsters run and where the police chase them! You can't just chase a wanted criminal because he ran out of his jurisdiction, right?

As for the issue of calling for support, sir, you are also a front-line police officer, and you know that many times you are in a hurry to do things, and you don't have time to call for support! ”

"That's why I brought you here to find a way to solve this problem!" Li Wenbin paused, and then said: "At least I have to give an explanation to the police force!" ”

"Confess? How to explain? Can't you be directly demoted to the Ministry of Transportation like Zhou Xingxing did back then? Cao Dahua said.

"Let him go to the Ministry of Transportation, it's okay!" Li Wenbin thought for a moment and continued; "I think this is really a good idea, the management of the Ministry of Communications is much stricter than that of ordinary patrol officers, and he should be asked to go and learn how to become a member of the disciplined forces."

"But he has only been a patrol officer for a month, so let him go to the Ministry of Transportation? That's not quite right, is it? He can't even ride an iron horse, how can he be a traffic policeman! Cao Dahua said.

"That's more appropriate, let him learn to ride an iron horse first, at least stay in the driving school for this time, and won't cause trouble for us again!" Li Wenbin said with a smile.

……

He Jiahui walked into the butter crab's office, and just about to salute, the butter crab waved his hand with a smile: "It's just the two of us, don't need that, sit down!" ”

Butter Crab is notoriously kind, even in front of his subordinates, there is no slightest, in Sham Shui Po Police Station, many senior police officers who are more familiar with Butter Crab do not treat him as a commander.

And this unique view of the world, on the contrary, makes the butter crab quite prestigious, and the entire Sham Shui Po Police Station is inseparable from this good old police station sergeant.

And Butter Crab also plans to stay in Sham Shui Po for the rest of his life, for him, the police station sergeant has been promoted to the end, and working in a familiar environment like Sham Shui Po is definitely much better than going to an unfamiliar police station.

He Jiahui also understands the character of the butter crab, so he said "Thank you, sir", and then found a chair and sat down.

Just listen to the butter crab speak; "I have just returned from the Regional Police Station, and Superintendent Cao Dahua has praised you very much! Based on your excellent performance in the past month, Superintendent Cao has decided to promote you exceptionally. ”

"Do you want to promote me to sheriff?" Ho Ka Fai made a joke.

"What do you think? I've only been a police officer for a month, and I want to be a sheriff? In the era of the four major detectives, if you bribed the British with money, it was impossible for you to rise so fast! ”

Butter Crab paused, and then said: "Superintendent Cao has decided to promote you to the West Kowloon Traffic Department!" ”

"The Ministry of Communications is also a uniformed police officer, and his usual work is also patrolling the streets, which is at most a flat tone, right?" He Jiahui asked subconsciously.

"You know what? You are now patrolling the streets, walking on two legs, and going to the Ministry of Communications to patrol the streets, riding an iron horse, can this be the same! According to the normal procedure, you have to work for more than a year as a patrol officer to have a chance to be selected to the Ministry of Communications. Butter Crab explained.

In Hong Kong dramas, it is often seen that a certain police officer is demoted to become a traffic policeman, directing traffic and posting tickets. The degraded police officers are basically plainclothes police officers.

Plainclothes officers have more power than uniformed officers, so if a police officer is transferred to the Ministry of Communications, if the position is not promoted, it is equivalent to a demotion.

But for the grassroots patrol police, if they are transferred to be traffic police, they are definitely promoted, which is equivalent to upgrading the infantry to cavalry.

When it comes to daily patrols, riding a motorcycle is certainly much easier than walking.

As there is only one Traffic Division in each Region, the traffic police patrol covers the entire Region. This is also much larger than the patrol range of ordinary patrol officers.

He Jiahui pondered carefully, being a traffic police officer riding an iron horse is indeed better than being a patrol officer pressing the road with the soles of his feet.

Especially the BMW R series motorcycles, the appearance is magnificent, the power is good, and it must be very majestic to ride on.

What's more, this is also an order from the superiors, and it must be carried out. As a disciplined force, the police must obey their superiors and cannot bargain.

Thinking of this, He Jiahui opened his mouth and asked, "Sir Huang, when will I report to the Ministry of Transportation?" ”

"Next Monday!" Butter Crab continued: "This weekend, I have to hold a farewell ceremony for you, although you have not been here for a long time at our Sham Shui Po Police Station, you are also a member of our big family!" If you become a commander in the future, it will also be our Sham Shui Po Police Station! ”

"Thank you, Sir Huang!" He Jiahui stood up gratefully and saluted.

The butter crab looked at He Jiahui again, and asked, "How tall are you?" Is there six feet? ”

"It's just six feet barefoot, and it's a little taller with your shoes on." He Jiahui replied.

"That's the golden height of riding an iron horse!" The butter crab said with some envy.

He Jiahui opened his mouth and said: "Huang Sir, don't worry, my legs are long enough to ride an iron horse!" ”

"That's not what I'm talking about." Butter Crab paused in his voice, and then said: "Your height, if you go to the Ministry of Transportation, you will have the opportunity to participate in the selection of the Blue Helmet!" ”
