Reborn in 97, I solved a cold case at the Municipal Bureau

Chapter 80 Immediately become a regular employee
When Zhou Yi, who was lying on the hospital bed, heard Wu Yongcheng call him "Director", he was immediately startled.

Director? Xie Guoqiang?
The door of the ward opened and a middle-aged man in police uniform walked in.

The man was probably in his early fifties, a little overweight, but with quite thick hair.

The epaulettes on the shoulders are four golden horizontal bars and a golden four-pointed star.

There is only one third-level police inspector in the whole Hongcheng, and who else could it be except the director of the Municipal Bureau.

Zhou Yi immediately put down the drink in his hand and tried to get out of bed, but Xie Guoqiang got there first and pushed him back.

"No need to get up, no need to get up. If you are injured, you should lie down and rest." Xie Guoqiang said with a smile.

"Thank you, Director."

Wu Yongcheng, who was following behind, immediately introduced, "Chief, this is Zhou Yi. He was just transferred from the Nanhu Police Station to our Third Brigade. He was the one who solved the March 16th murder case."

Xie Guoqiang nodded appreciatively: "I know, wasn't it you who chased me to approve Zhou Yi's transfer order?"

"Yes, yes, you see, I have forgotten about it." Wu Yongcheng said with a simple smile.

"Stop talking nonsense to me. Is there anything you could possibly forget? You even remember that I ate a bowl of noodles from you ten years ago without paying for it."

Zhou Yi couldn't help laughing. Well, it turns out that Captain Wu is still a stingy guy.

"No, eight years ago." Wu Yongcheng corrected.

"Well, Director Xie, I just severely criticized Zhou Yi for causing such a big trouble and causing you trouble."

Wu Yongcheng’s words made Zhou Yi a little confused. What kind of routine was this?
Xie Guoqiang glared at Wu Yongcheng and said, "What nonsense! Zhou Yi has made a contribution, and you are actually criticizing him. How can you lead a team?"

"I'm kidding, just kidding."

"Zhou Yi, you performed very well today. You were fearless in the face of danger, brave and resourceful, and enforced the law impartially. Especially in handling special circumstances, you used very precise methods. You demonstrated the demeanor of our Hongcheng police and gave the public peace of mind, telling them that with our police here, no crime can escape detection!"

Xie Guoqiang's words were half politeness and half sincerity.

But no matter what, coming from the mouth of the Municipal Bureau Director, it is already a high degree of affirmation.

"Thank you, Director. You're too kind. I learned this mainly from Captain Wu and other comrades."

Zhou Yi was also being polite, but he didn't expect the director to just wave his hand and say, "Forget it. You were transferred here yesterday, and Wu Yongcheng just returned to Hongcheng today. What can he teach you?"

Zhou Yi was shocked, it seemed that the polite words were indeed a bit too much.

"If you ask me, it's Director Jin who leads his troops well. He has contributed such outstanding talents to our municipal bureau. I must praise him during the internal meeting later."

Zhou Yi immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Director Jin has indeed taught me a lot."

"Not bad, not bad, young man. You have great potential. I am very optimistic about you."

"Thank you, Chief." To be honest, Zhou Yi was really flattered. After all, when he was working on the 316 case, his goal was to join the Municipal Bureau.

For any police officer who has just worked for half a year, this is already a class leap.

He was already very satisfied. What happened today was completely beyond his expectations, not to mention being personally comforted by the director.

"What do the media call him now?" Xie Guoqiang turned and asked Wu Yongcheng.

"City hero."

"Oh, yes, City Hero, I haven't even received this honor, hahahaha."

Wu Yongcheng quietly gave Zhou Yi a thumbs-up. "By the way, Zhou Yi, Director Zhang of Hongcheng TV has contacted me and said he'd like to invite you to do an interview in the next few days. This is a great opportunity to showcase our strength to the leadership and the people. I hope you can live up to their expectations. Of course, we have to wait until you recover first."

As soon as Xie Guoqiang finished speaking, Wu Yongcheng immediately added: "The doctor said that there was no damage to his internal organs, it just takes a few stitches, and he's fine."

Xie Guoqiang nodded. "That's good. The people at the station will contact the publicity department of the bureau to arrange an interview program. I'll be thankful for your help then."

Zhou Yi naturally agreed. This was indeed a good thing, and it would also help with his future plans for dealing with his parents' layoffs.

At this time, Wu Yongcheng suddenly said, "Director Xie, no, Zhou Yi can't go to record the show."

Xie Guoqiang was stunned: "Why?"

"Zhou Yi is just a temporary worker in our city bureau's criminal investigation detachment. He hasn't been officially hired yet. Having a temporary worker come forward makes it seem like our city bureau is completely empty."

"What am I supposed to be? Why not just make him a regular employee?"

Wu Yongcheng pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid this doesn't comply with the regulations. To become a regular employee without an assessment, you have to apply for special approval."

Xie Guoqiang's eyes widened as he asked, "Isn't it all up to me to approve it? Can't I, the director of the Municipal Bureau, approve it?"

As soon as he said this, Wu Yongcheng winked at Zhou Yi: "Why don't you thank the director quickly!"

Zhou Yi suddenly realized that this was Wu Yongcheng's purpose.

Xie Guoqiang also suddenly reacted and pointed at Wu Yongcheng's nose and said, "Good boy, you are setting a trap for me."

Wu Yongcheng chuckled and said, "Look at what you said. As a veteran like you, how could I possibly set a trap for you?"

Zhou Yi smiled and quickly thanked Xie Guoqiang, confirming his permanent position.

At the same time, he also had some understanding of Director Xie. Although he had some official airs, he was also a very genuine person.

However, Zhou Yi now has reservations about what kind of person he is. After all, he is the organizer of the July 27 shooting case. This unjust, false and wrong case that spanned decades and the hidden story behind it are definitely not simple.

"Thank you, Director. I will go back to the bureau to apply for Zhou Yi's special application for regularization tomorrow." Wu Yongcheng said.

"Just apply. Anyway, don't you always tell people that only I, the director, can do whatever I want? So what if I can do whatever I want?"

"Hey, who spread the rumor? I never said that."

Xie Guoqiang suddenly sniffed his nose and pointed at Wu Yongcheng and said, "You kid, you're smoking in the ward, right?"

"No." Wu Yongcheng looked innocent. "Zhou Yi, did you smoke?"

Zhou Yi shook his head and smiled, "Captain Wu, I don't smoke."

Wu Yongcheng spread his hands towards Xie Guoqiang.

Xie Guoqiang poked him on the shoulder and said, "You still owe me a report. You'd better take care of yourself."

"Zhou Yi, have a good rest. If Wu Yongcheng gives you trouble at work, just come to me."

"Okay Chief."

After Wu Yongcheng sent Xie Guoqiang out, Zhou Yi gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Captain Wu, your acting was excellent this time."

Wu Yongcheng pointed at him and said, "You little bastard, you owe me a favor. Remember this."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a noise outside the door, and he could vaguely hear someone shouting in panic: "Where is my son? Where is my son Zhou Yi?"
