I am a policeman

Chapter 14 Serena

"I would like to say that I am a rich second generation, so that I can lie down and win, but it is a pity that my father is a policeman and my grandfather is also a policeman. I didn't leave much inheritance, so I can only fight on my own.

As for whether what I said is true or false, you can just investigate it. I won the money at the Lisboa Casino, and there must be a record. You don’t think they will perjure me. "Lei Weidong laughed.

"Sir, here are the coffee, drink, cake, and ham you ordered." After receiving a tip of tens of yuan from Lei Weidong, the girl cameo as a waiter and delivered the food Lei Weidong ordered.

"Thank you!" Lei Weidong nodded to the girl, signaling her to avoid it.

"Both of you, let's eat together. This meal is my treat. If it's not enough, order more."

The level of the chef in the coffee shop is really good. When the cake and ham were served, the aroma made Lei Weidong and the others appetite. A Mei, who hadn't eaten all morning, was so hungry that she stuck to her back and drooled.

It's just that when Han Zhibang didn't speak, he was too embarrassed to stretch out his hand, so he could only bear it.

Compared to Amei, Han Zhibang, who had been severely beaten in the police station, hated police corruption deeply. Facing Lei Weidong's kindness, Han Zhibang expressed his words:

"Thank you for your kindness. It's just that our commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption cannot eat corrupted things."

"Don't eat food from corruption, Miss Amei can still say that, and you, Han Zhibang." Lei Weidong shrugged, "You are Lao Yang's nephew, right?"

"Yes." Han Zhibang nodded, "If it wasn't for my uncle, I might have been beaten to death by the police."

Regarding what happened to the police station, Han Zhibang could never go there for the rest of his life. Living in an ivory tower, he never imagined that the world is so dark.

To actually blatantly pull people from the street to make a false case, really...

It can only be said that Huo Qilin's facts are too much, and it is a situation that only happens in troubled times to pull innocent people into false cases, just like Ning Caichen in A Chinese Ghost Story 2 was framed and caught in prison.

It's no wonder that even Xu Legong looked down on him for doing such a thing in a peaceful age.

Let's put it this way, the establishment of the ICAC was not only due to the people of Eagle Country wanting to take over power, but also Citigroup's pressure from the outside.

"I heard that when you were in school, Old Yang often helped you?" Lei Weidong asked.

"Yes, if it wasn't for my uncle, I wouldn't even be able to go to college." Han Zhibang nodded.

"That's it." Lei Weidong slapped the table and said in a low voice, "You never thought that Lao Yang's money came from corruption."

"How is it possible? How could such an upright person like my uncle be corrupt." Han Zhibang didn't believe Lei Weidong's words. "

"Old Yang will definitely not do such things as collecting black money, but the fees must be collected, otherwise how would he have the money to help you." Lei Weidong said in a low voice, "You should know how much the police are paid.

It is only 300 yuan a month after joining the job, and a senior police officer like Lao Yang who has worked for decades is only [-] to [-] yuan a month.

How much is the price of goods now, how much is the rent, and your ICAC gets a salary of six to seven thousand a month, and you don’t feel pressure when you have subsidies, and the police can’t do it.

With a salary of several hundred yuan, a single man can't afford to support, let alone support a family.

If you don’t want your family to drink the Northwest Wind, you can only find a way to make money. Why are the fees being paid by the police station? Even the governor acquiesces, because everyone knows that if the ordinary police are not paid the fees, they can’t even survive.

Just like the Ming Dynasty.

During the Hongwu period, in order to prevent officials from being corrupted, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in power, directly set the iron law of 60 corruption deaths, and even flayed corrupt officials.

Why did the later emperor turn a blind eye to corruption.

That's because during the Hongwu period, officials' salaries could be paid in real time. Although Zhu Yuanzhang's salary was not high, it was enough for everyone to barely maintain their lives.

It didn't work later, especially after the capital was moved.

The Ming Dynasty, which left the land of fish and rice, did not have enough rice to distribute salaries, so it could only distribute silver, and even later the silver was not enough, so it could only fold things and banknotes.

Spices, clothing, silk, Daming's salary is discounted for everything, without considering the actual value of the items, among which discounted money is the most bastard.

Sometimes even discounted to [-]%.

This banknote is not the current Hong Kong dollar. 1000 yuan is enough for a family to spend. The rapid depreciation of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes is unbelievable.

According to the rules formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, the highest first-rank official can have 87 shi of rice a month, which can be converted into dozens of taels of silver, but only a few taels of silver and dozens of taels worth of money are sent to officials, but in reality they are even wiped out. A treasure that is not as good as paper on the butt.

As a result, the income of officials whose salaries were not high was reduced by [-]% to [-]%. With the remaining salary, officials could not even support themselves.

And what to do if you can't support them, you can only embezzle them.

Why did Bing Jing and Tan Jing become unspoken rules, because even the emperor knew that if everything was carried out according to the rules, officials would have nothing to do but starve to death.

Officials of the Ming Dynasty were greedy, and their greed was open and aboveboard.

The same is true for the police, and the fees are justifiable.

Let me give you an example, Godber, you must know, this is the Chief Superintendent, the leading figure in Kowloon District.

How much is his salary?
After 20 years in the police force, it is less than 90 Hong Kong dollars, which means that it is only a little over [-] Hong Kong dollars a year. Compared with ordinary policemen, it must be high, but compared with your office, the salary of an ordinary commissioner is not even as good.

The Governor of Hong Kong really wants to crack down on police corruption. There is no way to rely on the ICAC. Even if you arrest detectives like Luo Ge and Lan Gang, and fire all the police officers who have committed corruption crimes, it is just a formality.

Because new police officers, promoted sheriffs, and detectives have to lead everyone to commit corruption, and no one can live without corruption.

Unless the higher-ups can give everyone a salary increase, they don’t need seven or eight thousand a month like the Commissioner of the ICAC, but can have three or four thousand for ordinary police officers to support their families, and cooperate with the ICAC to greatly improve the atmosphere of the police force. "

"Sir, can you keep your voice down, you are disturbing other guests." Because Lei Weidong's voice inadvertently disturbed many people because of his excitement, the girl came over to remind him.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I will pay attention, let's talk about novels, but." Lei Weidong said comfortably, "Can you do me a favor?"

"What's the matter, sir, tell me." The girl asked cautiously.

"Do you know where this address is?" Lei Weidong handed over the note from Zhu Youzai.

"I know, it's not far up there, and it's only a 10-[-]-minute walk. That's where my family lives. What did you do in the past?" Looking at the address on the note, the girl felt that it was really a coincidence.

"When I bought a house in the past, my friend said that the house was good somewhere. There is a newly opened community. The scenery, the layout of the house, and the materials used are all top-notch, and the price is not expensive. It is definitely not a loss to buy now, and it is worth buying." Lei Wei Dongdao.

"There is indeed a newly opened high-end community, which seems to be developed by XX company." The girl nodded, "However, the houses inside are different from what you said, and they are so expensive. I can only look at them when I pass by, but I can't buy them." rise."

"Expensive is relative. You think expensive is compared with the surrounding housing prices, but compared with the previous two years, the housing prices have fallen to the bottom. In the future, they will only rise and not fall. Now even if you borrow money, you have to sell. Can you take me there? Look, I don't know the way."

Lei Weidong looked around, because it was lunchtime and there were many people in the coffee shop, how could the girl who was the cashier leave, so he asked.

"If you can't leave, you can draw a road map for me."

"You don't need to draw pictures. I'll switch shifts with someone else, and I'll take you there later," the girl said.

"You're not afraid of changing shifts at this point." Pointing to the crowd around him, Lei Weidong asked.

"The wages here are not high and the boss is harsh. I don't want to work part-time here. Besides, you gave me so many tips. It's worth the money." The girl said frankly,

"Do a part-time job, are you a student?" Seeing the girl's baby-fat face, Lei Weidong felt more and more like a person.

"I'm a student. I'm going to middle school, and I'm going to work during the summer vacation to earn tuition fees." The girl nodded and said, "The work here is hard, and it only costs 900 yuan a month. Why don't you change to something easier and work as a salesperson in a store?" They earn more than that.”

"900 yuan a month, it's really hard work." Lei Weidong nodded, and took a playful look at Amei and Han Zhibang to see, the students who worked during the summer vacation earned more than the police, what do you ask the police to do.

"After chatting for a long time, I still don't know your name?"

"My surname is Lin, and my English name is Selena. You can call me Selina, a student at Beliros Girls High School." Selena said with a smile.

"Salena!"

Hearing this familiar name, Lei Weidong was taken aback, and looked at the girl carefully.

Although it has baby fat and is not fully opened, it already has a trace of Aunt Qingxia's peerless appearance.

Think about the time, Police Story is a story that takes place in the mid 80s.

It is now 74 years, eight years from the beginning of the story, fifth, sixth, seventh, even if she is admitted to university, Salina can still be Zhu Tao's secretary for a few years.

"Belilos Girls High School is one of the best girls' middle schools. If you can become a student there, you have a high chance of being admitted to a university." Concealing his inner excitement, Lei Weidong changed the subject.

"My ideal is to become a college student and get out of my current life." Salina said with a smile, "However, in Hong Kong, the competition for college entrance examination is too fierce, so I don't have much confidence."

"Confidence is cultivated." Lei Weidong pointed to Amei and smiled, "This is your senior sister who just graduated from the University of Hong Kong this year."

"Hello, senior."

Hearing that Ami is a high-achieving student at the University of Hong Kong, Salina was very excited. She pulled her arm and asked about the campus affairs. Answer all questions, and soon became good sisters.

"May I ask what your name is?" Salina looked at Lei Weidong and said.

"My name is Lei Weidong. I just joined the Xiangjiang police. I'm an ordinary police officer." Lei Weidong took a sip of Coke and said,

"Don't lie, I know that the income of the police is not as high as mine. If you are really a policeman, how can you have the money to buy a house." When Lei Weidong replied that he was a policeman, Salina looked disbelieving.

"Unless you are corrupt, but at your age, if you want to be greedy, you can't be greedy for much money. At most, you don't have to worry about food and drink."

"I have no corruption, and I will never be corrupt in this life." Lei Weidong said proudly, "As for the money, it was done in a fair manner. I won it in the casino, and I won several million.

These two are commissioners of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and they can testify to me that my money came in an aboveboard manner. "
