Chapter 38: Working the Night Shift(1/2)
He Jiahui came to the hospital ward holding a bouquet of flowers.
After knocking on the door, Li Xin'er's voice "Please come in" came from the ward, and He Jiahui opened the door and walked in.
Li Xin'er did not lie on the hospital bed, but stood beside the bed and looked at the scenery.
"Dr. Li, how is your recovery?" He Jiahui said and put the flowers on the table.
"I wasn't injured in the first place, I was just a little frightened." Li Xin'er replied.
"Are you frightened? You need to see a psychiatrist, otherwise you will have psychological shadow." He Jiahui said with a smile.
"I am a psychiatrist myself!" Li Xin'er snorted coldly, but she also knew that He Jiahui was making fun of herself.
In the past, the two of them were just doctors and patients. After Wang Xiaolong's attack on the clinic, they experienced life and death together, and the relationship between the two has obviously become much closer.
He Jiahui found a place to sit down, and then asked: "When will you be discharged from the hospital?"
"You can do it at any time. In fact, I also want to take this opportunity to be lazy. I don't really want to go back for the time being." There was a trace of sadness in Li Xin'er's eyes.
He Jiahui could guess that Li Xin'er was brooding over the death of the medical director.
Wang Xiaolong went to the psychological clinic to seek revenge on He Jiahui, probably because he did not want to survive. When he learned from the doctor that He Jiahui was in the clinic, he shot the innocent doctor to death.
He Jiahui only met the medical director a few times, and he didn't even know his name. However, Li Xin'er and the medical director were colleagues, and they had feelings for each other after getting along day and night. Now that the medical director is killed, Li Xin'er will certainly feel sad.
.
Li Xin'er took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and then asked: "You asked me when I will be discharged from the hospital. Is there something wrong?"
"It's really something. I'm waiting for your psychological evaluation report now. I won't be reinstated until you get the report." He Jiahui replied.
Li Xin'er raised the corners of her mouth and smiled proudly, as if to say, you still have to ask me for something!
Then she continued: "What you said reminded me that you just killed another person, so not only can the psychological counseling not be stopped, it must be postponed!"
"Do you think I am someone who needs psychological counseling?" He Jiahui continued: "Besides, even if I want to do psychological counseling, no psychiatrist would dare to take this job now!
In order to avenge his brother, Wang Xiaolong came to the psychological clinic and caused such a big incident. You psychiatrists all stayed away from me and avoided me like the god of plague!
I went to make an appointment with a psychiatrist, but I didn’t have time in the near future. In the eyes of you psychiatrists, you make money by treating others! It’s life-threatening by treating me!"
These words instantly made Li Xin'er laugh. After laughing, she said: "Then I won't make it difficult for my colleagues. I will try to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and then I will issue you a psychological evaluation report and let you resume work as soon as possible!"
…
Ho Ka Fai was finally reinstated.
"Sir, police officer 66622 He Jiahui reports for duty!" He Jiahui stood in front of the butter crab.
Butter Crab looked at He Jiahui with a smile, his eyes were like those of a kind old father.
He has a fierce man who has killed ten tough gangsters. As his immediate superior, Butter Crab naturally takes advantage of him. If nothing else, at least the performance of Sham Shui Po Police Station is full.
Butter Crab is always a good old man, and he even shows a flattering personality to his subordinates who like him, just like a Labrador.
"Jiahui, why are you back so early? Why don't you rest for a few more days? The Dragon Tiger brothers you just killed have made great achievements. They should also go on vacation, travel and relax, anyway.
It’s a paid vacation, so there’s no need to come back in such a hurry.” Butter Crab said cheerfully.
"Sir, it's not appropriate for me to go on vacation after just one day of work!" He Jiahui reminded.
"That's true. If you didn't remind me, I would have forgotten that you are still a newbie. Mainly because the police station has been discussing your affairs recently, and I had the misconception that you were an old policeman!"
Butter Crab said, taking out the patrol schedule, and continued: "Now that you are back, let's start working. You don't have to patrol the streets with Uncle Biao for the time being.
The schedule for these periods has been prepared. I thought you wouldn't come back, so I didn't add you. It would be troublesome to make temporary adjustments now.
We don’t have enough manpower for the night shift, so why don’t you go to the night shift first? There won’t be many patrols at night, and it’s cooler. I’ll add your name to the night shift group first. Are you okay?”
"No problem!" He Jiahui replied.
"By the way, one more thing. If you meet people from the West Kowloon Crime Unit recently, stay away from them." Butter Crab reminded.
"Why?" He Jiahui asked subconsciously.
Butter Crab slowly explained: "The Dragon and Tiger brothers were originally a case of the West Kowloon Crime Squad. However, they arranged it carefully, but you took the lead. They felt that it was very humiliating and they would have some complaints.
.
We are all colleagues, and we meet each other without looking up. It is better not to make the relationship too tense, so I ask you to avoid them and don't argue with them. As time goes by, they will have a new case, and this matter will slowly fade away.
Forgot.
"I understand, sir!" He Jiahui nodded, secretly thinking that this Butter Crab is indeed a well-rounded and good man.
…
Hong Kong police patrol around the clock.
Under normal circumstances, there will be more police deployed during the day and the number of patrols will be more frequent, while the number of police deployed at night is smaller than that during the day, but they can still dispatch the police quickly after receiving the alarm and arrive at the scene as soon as possible.
Of course, there are also some special places, such as Lan Kwai Fong, where bars gather and it is even a little deserted during the day. But after nightfall, life here has just begun. Instead, more patrols are deployed at night, and assault vehicles are sent on standby at any time.
Sham Shui Po is the earliest developed area in Hong Kong. In the 1950s and 1960s, the population was already very dense. Many citizens have lived here for most of their lives, which also means that there are relatively many elderly people in this area.
There is not much nightlife for older people, and they go to bed earlier, so the nightlife in Sham Shui Po is obviously much inferior to that in Causeway Bay.
Many shops here only do business during the day and close at night. Those shops that are still open at night mainly provide services to overtime workers who get off work very late.
As night fell, He Jiahui also started patrolling the night shift.
This time, Ho Ka Fai's teammate was a police sergeant who was about thirty years old. Everyone called him "Brother Feng".
Under normal circumstances, the police force will not arrange night shifts for older patrol officers, mainly because they are worried that their bodies will not be able to support them due to their age.
A police sergeant like Brother Feng, who is in his prime, is the backbone of the night patrol. Pairing him with a young patrol officer can cover a large area, and one group of people can be used as three groups during the day.
There are not many pedestrians on the road, and it is incomparable to the number of people coming and going during the day. Most of the ordinary roadside shops are closed, and even tea restaurants and ice houses are rarely open.
On the other hand, 24-hour convenience stores like "7-11" keep the lights on, and from time to time, overtime workers who have just finished work drag their exhausted bodies to visit.
Brother Feng took He Jiahui and explained to him the rules of night shift patrol while walking.
"There are fewer manpower in the night shift, so the area we patrol is larger than during the day, but there won't be too many things on the night shift, especially after twelve o'clock, when all the nearby residents are asleep, so we won't have much to do.
At this time, you can find an ice room that is open at night, have something to drink, have a late-night snack, and sometimes you can find a corner to relax for half an hour. Newcomers like you probably won’t be able to find this kind of place. I’ll tell you later
Take you there.
The situation when working the night shift is also different from that during the day. The most common reasons for calling the police at night are noise nuisance and family conflicts. Many times couples quarrel too loudly and disturb the neighbors' rest, so the neighbors will call the police.
The living environment of people in Xiangjiang is relatively poor, and there are many old houses in Sham Shui Po. It is very common here for three generations of a family to live in one house. When people are crowded together, some bumps and frictions and quarrels will inevitably occur.
When encountering this kind of thing, we mainly focus on persuasion. It is best to make both parties take a step back and make the matter a trivial matter. Of course, if we encounter someone who is overly aggressive and unwilling to reason, we can only use legal means.
Already."
Brother Feng imparted work experience to He Jiahui, and He Jiahui seemed to listen attentively.
In fact, He Jiahui was just showing off. He Jiahui understood everything Brother Feng said.
When He Jiahui was promoted to second-level police inspector, he worked at a grassroots police station for a period of time and accumulated a lot of grassroots work experience.
The daily work of grassroots police stations is to deal with trivial conflicts among the masses, such as disputes between neighbors, drunken fights, rebellious children running away from home, etc.
He Jiahui is not very good at dealing with this kind of thing, but he still has some experience.
Brother Feng imparted some work experience to He Jiahui. He felt his mouth was a little dry, so he planned to go to a nearby convenience store to buy a bottle of water.
At this time, the main station's voice sounded on the intercom: "Someone called the police in the residential area near Lisheng Building on Fuhua Street. The nearby police officers will go over immediately."
Brother Feng looked up and found that Lisheng Building was not far away from him, so he replied: "Sergeant 39270, police officer 66622 received it, and will be there immediately."
…
He Jiahui rushed to the scene and as soon as he walked into the corridor, he heard the sound of quarrels coming from a room.
"Twenty thousand yuan to buy a bag, are you crazy? Do you know that I have a hard time making money outside!"
"Hard work? I haven't seen how much money you have earned even after hard work! After being married for so long, what valuable things have you bought for me? Can't I just buy a bag? Other women have them, why don't I! My best friend's husband
, not only bought her a bag, but also took her to travel to Japan!"
"Your best friend's husband is so nice, why don't you go live with him! What are you doing here? Get out!"
"I also own this house, why should I leave? If you want to leave, you can leave! If a man can't make money, he can't even buy a bag for his wife, so he still has the nerve to stay here!"
As soon as He Jiahui heard the quarrel, he knew it was a couple having a conflict.
During the quarrel, there was also the sound of smashing. It seems that a lot of things were broken, and the neighbor called the police after hearing this.
Many residential buildings in Sham Shui Po are relatively old and have poor sound insulation. If one household quarrels, the whole building can hear it.
The person who called the police most likely did not want to persuade the couple to reconcile, but because the couple was arguing too loudly, which affected other people's rest.
This is how people in Xiangjiang put their own interests first in everything. If their own interests are not involved, most people are not willing to meddle in other matters.
This is not so much that they are cold and impersonal, but rather that it is due to the development concept of money first in the past few decades, which has led more and more people to become refined egoists.
It is difficult for an upright official to resolve family matters. When encountering such a thing, the police can only make peace with it. As long as there is no domestic violence and someone smashes their own things at home, the police cannot interfere. The most they can do is to advise the two to keep their voices down when they quarrel.
, don’t affect others.
After handling the marital conflict, Brother Feng reported the result to the intercom.
