North District Sub-Bureau Criminal Investigation Unit.
Eight o 'clock in the morning, in the captain's office.
Ma Jingbo sat at his desk yawning. He made a pot of water and poured himself a cup of strong coffee.
A few days ago, there was a burglary case in the North District Sub-Bureau. The case didn't have much progress, and yesterday afternoon, the victim passed away in the hospital. The nature of the case became worse.
Last night, Ma Jingbo investigated the case until ten o 'clock, and he was exhausted.
Ma Jingbo glanced at his watch. After finishing his coffee, he still had to hold a case summary meeting.
He somewhat missed the days when he was in the Public Security Bureau. At that time, there was Han Bin to share the burden with him, and the pressure was much less.
Thinking of this, Ma Jingbo's face showed a bit of envy.
Ma Jingbo took a sip of the coffee. This type of coffee contained less sugar, and it was bitter at first, but there was a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste.
"Ring ring ring …" His phone rang.
Ma Jingbo took out his phone to check, and the screen showed Han Bin's number.
"Hello."
"Captain Ma, I'm Han Bin."
"What a coincidence, I was just about to call you. I heard that you're going to be transferred to the Provincial Criminal Investigation Unit. Is it true?"
"The documents just came in two days ago. You're quite well-informed."
"This matter has spread throughout our Qindao Public Security system. Someone even mentioned you in the cafeteria this morning. You're a celebrity now."
"What celebrity? It's just a name."
Ma Jingbo glanced at his watch. "Brother Bin, I have a meeting in a bit. You must have something to tell me since you're calling me so early. Hurry up."
"Nothing. I'm going to Quan City now. I want to invite a few old leaders for a gathering."
"When?"
"Tonight."
"Ah, I'm afraid I can't tonight. There's a robbery and murder case in the North District. It's quite tricky. It's not suitable for me to attend a gathering now. "
"That's true. The case is more important. We won't wait for you tonight."
"Next time you go back to Qindao, I'll treat you. Let's have a good gathering."
The two chatted for a bit more before hanging up.
"Ah …" Ma Jingbo sighed, and he looked a bit disappointed.
He envied Han Bin from the bottom of his heart.
Back then, he had competed with Tao Bo for the position of deputy captain of the city's Criminal Investigation Unit. Tao Bo won and became the deputy captain, and Ma Jingbo's promotion path was blocked.
After he recovered from his injuries, he was transferred to the North City Sub-Bureau as the captain of the criminal investigation team. Although he was promoted, he was still unwilling to be transferred from the city to the sub-bureau.
Originally, he thought that Han Bin would encounter the same predicament as him as the squadron leader. There were only these positions in the Qingdao Public Security System, and no matter how capable he was, he couldn't kick the people above him away.
Who would have thought that Han Bin would be directly transferred to the Provincial Public Security Bureau? His road ahead suddenly became clear. All roads lead to Rome, and there were more opportunities for him to be promoted. It could be said that he was a dragon entering the sea.
Damn it, why was the gap between people so big?
Ma Jingbo was really envious, and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous …
He was not a petty person, and he did not like this feeling, but he could not control it. Perhaps only time could eliminate the trace of jealousy in the depths of his heart.
At that time, he could drink and chat merrily with Han Bin.
…
The banquet lasted for a few days. On the first day, Han Bin invited the leaders of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Unfortunately, his direct superior, Ma Jingbo, was unable to attend due to work.
The second banquet was for the subordinates of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the entire Second Squadron, the technical department, and the forensic department.
The third banquet was for the colleagues from the Baohua Police Station.
…
Today was the fourth banquet, and Han Bin invited his colleagues from the Yuhua Sub-Bureau.
The Yuhua Sub-Bureau was where Han Bin's career started, and the colleagues from the Yuhua Sub-Bureau meant a lot to him.
Tonight, the people from Yuhua Sub-Bureau's Criminal Investigation Unit's Third Squadron were all there. Seeing the familiar faces, Han Bin was filled with emotions.
Dai Minghan, the deputy chief of the Yuhua Sub-Bureau, sat at the head of the table. Han Bin, Zeng Ping, and Zhao Ying sat on both sides, and the team members lined up.
When the banquet started, Dai Minghan stood up and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. I'll say a few words first. Captain Han is going to be transferred to the Provincial Public Security Bureau soon, and today is our farewell banquet for him.
I've reported to Chief Chen before I came, and we can make an exception for everyone to drink tonight. Everyone can order whatever you want to eat or drink. Captain Zeng, Captain Zhao, and I will pay the bill. "
"Okay." The team members all cheered.
Who wouldn't be happy to be able to eat and drink well without having to pay?
"Chief Dai, I've already said that I'll treat everyone. It's not appropriate to let the three of you treat us."
Dai Minghan said, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. It's decided."
Zeng Ping smiled. "Chief Dai is right. Today is a farewell banquet for you, and we're asking you to pay for it. If word gets out, we'll lose face."
Zhao Ying added, "Captain Han, don't be so polite. When we reach Quan City, it won't be too late for you to treat us."
"Since the three of you have said so, I won't be pretentious." Han Bin raised his glass. "Let me toast to the three of you."
Although Zhao Ying was a woman, she was a straightforward person. She downed the glass in one gulp. "I'll drink the wine, but don't call me 'leader'. The next time we meet, you'll be the leader of the Provincial Public Security Bureau. Captain Zeng and I will have to listen to you. "
Zeng Ping had just swallowed the wine and almost choked.
Although Zhao Ying's words sounded harsh, there was nothing wrong with them. Although they were all Squadron Leaders, Han Bin had entered the Provincial Public Security Bureau and his rank was much higher than theirs.
Strictly speaking, when Han Bin was the Squadron Leader of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit, his rank had already surpassed Zeng Ping and Zhao Ying.
At first, Zeng Ping felt a little uncomfortable, but now he had accepted it.
It was quite easy for two people to compete for positions. When the other party was promoted slightly higher than him, it was easy to get jealous. When the other party's rank was much higher than him, it was easier for him to accept it.
Zeng Ping and Han Bin had a good relationship. Seeing his former subordinate developing so well, Zeng Ping felt proud.
At least in the future, he would not have to worry about bragging.
Maybe he would have to rely on Han Bin in the future …
Dai Minghan raised her glass. "Come, I propose that everyone give a toast to Han Bin. I wish him a smooth journey and a bright future …"
"Captain Han, congratulations, congratulations."
"Captain Han, don't forget us in the future."
"In the future, you must come back often."
Han Bin also drained his cup and smiled in response to all of them.
Han Bin had just put down his glass and took a bite of his food when Li Hui raised his glass. "Come, Brother Bin. Let's have a toast."
Among the people present, Li Hui was closest to Han Bin. They were not only colleagues, but also classmates and good friends.
"Cheers." Han Bin also drank his glass.
Li Hui drank and said, "Brother Bin, I'm a little sad that you're going to Spring City. It won't be easy to see you again. Sigh … "
"Spring City is so close to Qin Island. I'll come back often. Don't act like a girl. Drink more. "
"Of course. It's your farewell party today. We must have a good time."
Zhao Ming said, "Brother Hui, here's a toast to you."
Li Hui clinked glasses with him. "Aren't you in the Criminal Investigation Unit? Why are you back today?"
"What are you talking about? It doesn't matter where I work. Yu Hua Branch is my home." Zhao Ming also came.
This was the second time this kid had a free meal.
"That's what I like to hear. Cheers." Li Hui was a good drinker and didn't refuse anyone.
At night, Han Bin drank a lot. Today was the last party. After that, he would have to report to the provincial office.
At this moment, Han Bin's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He was touched, reluctant, and longing for the future.
