The two men were also scared out of their wits. They ran out of bullets, and the floor was littered with bullet casings.
The person on the right side of the restaurant was also shot full of holes.
"F * ck, Tony, we killed someone." The man with dreadlocks sounded panicked.
"Shut up, don't call my name!" Tony scolded as he reloaded his gun.
He felt that something was wrong. If they hit that person, why was there no sound at all? "Go and take a look."
At this moment, another round of gunshots rang out. Bang, bang, bang …
"Ah …"
Tony and the man with dreadlocks screamed as they fell into a pool of blood.
They were out of bullets and did not even have the ability to fight back.
After a while, the screams stopped.
The restaurant's lights were turned on. There were two men standing at the west corner of the restaurant. One was Brother Liao, and the other was Xiao Lei.
Brother Liao walked over to check. The two men were dead, and their blood was all over the floor.
Brother Liao licked his lips. "Awesome!"
Xiao Lei took a deep breath. His hands were still shaking. "Brother Liao, are we fine like this?"
Brother Liao said nonchalantly, "Don't worry. No one will dare to cause trouble in the restaurant again."
Xiao Lei swallowed his saliva. "Brother Liao, we killed someone."
"It's okay. This is America. It's legal." Brother Liao took a deep breath. "Smell it. The air is so fresh. I like it here."
Xiao Lei followed Brother Liao's example and took a deep breath. However, he smelled a thick stench of blood. "Wah …"
Xiao Lei vomited.
He vomited so much that he could not stand straight.
Brother Liao smiled and handed him a napkin. "Call the police and tell them to come quickly."
Xiao Lei wiped his mouth and pointed to the right. "Do you want to clean up?"
There was a human-shaped billboard on the right that had been smashed. The sound system at the foot of the wall was also destroyed.
"That doesn't mean anything. If they want to blame someone, they can only blame themselves for mistaking the billboard for a person." Brother Liao kept his gun and patted Xiao Lei's shoulder.
"Go and call them. We have to clean up the restaurant before dawn. I don't want the customers to see this."
"Okay, you're the boss." Xiao Lei quickly ran to the side. He wanted to stay away from the smell of blood.
Although it was a little dangerous this time, there shouldn't be any black who dared to eat and dash in the future.
As for the shooting, it was not a big deal. This was the United States.
It won't be long before people forget.
The Americans were very territorial, and no one would sympathize with the little black thief.
…
Across the Pacific Ocean.
Yuhua Branch's meeting room.
Deputy Bureau Chief Dai Minghan sat at the head of the table, while Ma Jingbo and Zeng Ping sat on both sides. The members of Team 2 were arranged in a row.
Han Bin sat to the right of Zeng Ping. He flipped open his notebook and started to prepare the minutes of the meeting.
Dai Minghan glanced at everyone. "Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting."
"First of all, on behalf of the Yu Hua Branch, I would like to thank all of you for your hard work during this period of time. To be able to successfully crack the 131 Device Reselling Case, all of you have put in a lot of effort. The leaders of the branch and I have all witnessed it. The leaders of the municipal bureau have also highly praised your performance. Furthermore, we would like to apply for a third-class merit for the task force."
Hearing this, everyone in the room looked happy. This was the best recognition for them.
"Bureau Chief Dai, should we continue with the investigation on Song Xinhai?" Zeng Ping asked.
"The scope of this case is too wide, far beyond the jurisdiction of the Yu Hua Branch. There are many restrictions on enforcing the law in a different place, and we also need the assistance of the local police. The municipal bureau has decided to transfer the 131 case to the provincial criminal investigation team," Dai Minghan said.
Everyone in the room had different expressions. Some were surprised, some were relieved, and some were calm.
Han Bin belonged to the latter group. He had already expected this situation.
Police officers didn't have independent law enforcement authority in a different place.
When enforcing the law in a different place, they had to use their summons, cooperation letter, and work ID to contact the public security organ at the county level or above in the place where they were cooperating.
This made the law enforcement process very complicated, and it would take twice the effort for half the result.
Dai Minghan glanced at the notebook and continued, "The joint case this time was very successful. The criminal investigation team of the municipal bureau and the criminal investigation team of the Yu Hua Branch worked together, learned from each other, and made great contributions to the safety and stability of Qingdao City."
"The leader of the branch has decided to give each officer in the task force a reward of two thousand yuan. At the same time, we will commend them on the intranet of the branch to set an example and call on all the officers in the branch to learn and make progress together."
A burst of spontaneous applause sounded. Who wouldn't be happy to be able to give out money and show their faces?
Dai Minghan turned to look at Ma Jingbo on the right. "Captain Ma, say a few words."
Ma Jingbo nodded and cleared his throat. "This joint investigation was very successful. As the leader of the joint task force, I would like to thank everyone for their support and trust in me. I hope we will have the opportunity to work together again in the future."
Another round of applause.
Dai Minghan pointed to Zeng Ping on the left. "You say a few words."
Zeng Ping waved his hand disinterestedly. "Director Dai, I won't say any more."
Dai Minghan encouraged everyone and said seriously, "Alright, today's meeting will end here. Captain Ma, Zeng Ping, and Han Bin, stay for a bit."
Everyone got up and left the conference room.
Only Dai Minghan, Han Bin, and the two captains were left in the room.
Dai Minghan sized up Han Bin. "Han Bin, how long have you been transferred to the branch?"
"More than half a year."
Dai Minghan nodded. "Although it hasn't been long, you're a lucky guy. You've solved a few big cases in a row. Not only the branch leader, but the leader of the municipal bureau also thinks highly of you."
Han Bin sat up straight and showed a humble expression.
"After some consideration, the leader of the municipal bureau wants to transfer you to a new position. You can bring up any ideas or conditions you want."
"I'm completely obedient to the organization's arrangement."
"Mm, I can let you know in advance that your new position should be the team leader of the second team in the city's criminal investigation team. Is there a problem?"
Han Bin said loudly. "No problem."
Dai Minghan laughed. "You've been promoted. What problem can there be? Do your job well in the city's criminal investigation team. Don't embarrass the Yu Hua branch."
"Yes."
"Come back often when you have time. The Yu Hua branch will always be your home."
Han Bin said seriously, "Definitely."
"Alright, that's all for now. Don't worry about serving the people wherever you go. Do your best." Dai Minghan got up and reminded him before leaving the conference room.
Ma Jingbo patted Han Bin's shoulder. "The official transfer document will be here in two days. There's a date of arrival on it. Don't be late."
"Yes."
Ma Jingbo said goodbye to Zeng Ping and left the conference room.
Zeng Ping sighed. "I know you're not an ordinary person. You'll leave the third team sooner or later. I just didn't expect it to be so soon."
"I didn't expect it either." Han Bin sighed.
Although Ding Xifeng had mentioned transferring him to the city's bureau, the city's criminal investigation team had its own place. It was relatively easy to arrange for ordinary officers, but the team leader was an actual position. It was hard to say when there would be a vacancy.
"Do your job well. It's not far from here anyway. Come back often."
"I will." Han Bin's tone was solemn.
Getting a promotion and a raise was a good thing. However, he had been like a fish in water in the Yu Hua branch. He got along well with his superiors and subordinates. He was reluctant to leave so suddenly.
"Come to my house tonight. I'll celebrate for you." Ceng Ping was also a little reluctant. Han Bin had been personally groomed by him, and could be said to be his number one general. Now that Han Bin was suddenly leaving, Ceng Ping would not be so free in the future.
People strive for higher things, and water flows to lower places. He couldn't stand in Han Bin's way.
"Captain Zeng, let's wait for a while. The epidemic is not over yet. I don't want everyone to make mistakes because of me." Han Bin said.
"That's fine too." Zeng Ping nodded and passed a cigarette to Han Bin. "You're going to the city's criminal investigation team soon. Who do you think should take over Team 2?"
"Who do you think is suitable?" Han Bin asked.
"Don't play tricks. Tell me."
Han Bin thought for a moment. "If it's an internal promotion, I personally think Li Hui is more suitable. Whether it's experience or ability, he's one of the best in the team."
Zeng Ping took a few puffs. "Alright. If Chief Dai asks, I'll recommend Li Hui. But don't mention this to him first. Let me see what Director Dai has to say. "
Both of them chatted for a while in the meeting room.
Before leaving, Zeng Ping joked. "Work hard in the city's police station. Maybe one day, you'll give me a promotion."
…
In the next two days, Han Bin's work became more relaxed. His main task was to sort out the 131 case files and hand them over to the Provincial Office.
Other than that, he also received the gratitude of the victims' families. These families wanted to come to the police station to send banners, but Han Bin declined. Now that things were so tight, everything had to be simple.
On the third day, Han Bin's transfer was officially announced. Just like what Dai Minghan had said, he was transferred to the city's criminal investigation team's second team.
Although it seemed like a transfer, it was a huge leap from the branch to the city's police station. Many people had never crossed this hurdle in their entire lives.
Whether it was authority, connections, or treatment, they would all be greatly improved.
When the other officers in Team 2 heard the news, they all looked envious.
They were just short of hugging Han Bin's thigh and asking Han Bin to bring them along.
The person who replaced Han Bin as the team leader of Team 2 was Li Hui.
However, Li Hui was not appointed as the team leader directly. Instead, he was given the title of acting team leader.
Li Hui and Han Bin were classmates. He joined the criminal investigation team earlier than Han Bin, and he was more experienced than Han Bin.
Li Hui's ability might not be as good as Han Bin's, but compared to the other team members, he was still pretty good.
The only thing that worried Zeng Ping was that his mouth was not reliable.
However, one's position determined one's position. Maybe it would be better after he became the team leader …
Of course, no one could be sure.
In the next few days, Han Bin handed over his work to Li Hui while preparing for his transfer …
