South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 250 New Appointment, Fulfillment of Duties

The wedding lasted from morning to afternoon, and then to night. Everyone was having a great time, but Yuan Mu suffered. Although someone helped to block the drinking, it was impossible to block it all the time, right? They did help block it when there were outsiders present before.

But then they were the only ones left, who would help you block the drinking? So Yuan Mu got drunk, this time he was really drunk, and several people helped Yuan Mu into the wedding room.

This is a room located in the backyard, and it is also the largest and best room in the entire courtyard. This is his and Zhou Xiaobai's bedroom.

This courtyard house is good in every way except that it is a bit big. It does seem a bit empty for the two of them to live in. Yuan Mu plans to get some pets or something so that it won't be too empty.

It is said that there are four great joys in life: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and being named on the list of successful candidates. Today, Yuan Mu was experiencing the third joy in his life, the wedding night. Unfortunately, Yuan Mu was already unconscious at this time, sleeping soundly on the bed.

When everyone in the yard left, Zhou Xiaobai returned to the backyard, took a shower, changed into a red pajamas, and entered the room. Seeing Yuan Mu's sleeping posture, she chuckled, walked over to cover Yuan Mu with the quilt, then she lay down beside Yuan Mu, kissed him, and then lay down and fell asleep.

Two days later, Yuan Mu and Zhou Xiaobai returned to Ningyang again and held another wedding banquet in the compound, inviting neighbors as well as friends, colleagues, and leaders from Ningyang to attend. The prerequisite was still not to accept gifts.

The courtyard was very lively. Many people came that day. The tables filled the courtyard, and the party lasted until the evening.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Just in the second month after Yuan Mu got married, his appointment order came down. Yuan Mu originally thought that he would return to Ningyang to work. After all, the current assignment method for university graduates is based on their registered residence. Yuan Mu’s registered residence is in Ningyang, so normally he should be assigned to work in Ningyang.

But this time was different. He knew that it must be Zhou Zhennan who took action. He did not return to Ningyang but stayed in Kyoto, and he did not go to work in any district.

With an order, Yuan Mu's personnel relationship was directly transferred from the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Kyoto Railway Public Security Bureau to the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, where he was appointed deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Division 1, with an administrative rank of deputy division level and enjoying the treatment of a division level official.

Yuan Mu was not too surprised to receive this order, because he had already discussed his plan with Zhou Zhennan, which basically involved the three units of public security, procuratorial and judicial organs. After all, his expertise was in this field.

Now that he is in the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, he can make use of his expertise, because this is his old profession. He did it for many years in his previous life and has been doing it for several years in this life as well. It can be said that he is very familiar with it.

What is the Criminal Investigation Bureau? Its main responsibilities are to monitor criminal trends, collect, report and exchange criminal information, and formulate prevention and combat strategies.

Organize, guide and supervise local public security organs in carrying out criminal investigations.

Formulate development plans for criminal technology work and organize its promotion and application, providing technical support for the investigation and handling of major and difficult criminal cases.

It is also responsible for the registration and management of appraisal institutions and appraisers of public security organs, and for organizing and guiding the work of combating the crime of trafficking in women and children.

It can be said that this department is very important, and this era is still a high incidence period of criminal crimes, so Yuan Mu can be said to have found a place to use his talents.

Just after the order was given, Yuan Mu came to Zhou Zhennan, and the two sat opposite each other in the study.

"Dad? Did you arrange for me to go to the Criminal Investigation Bureau?" Yuan Mu spoke first.

"This was not arranged by me. Someone took you away." Zhou Zhennan smiled mysteriously while smoking a cigarette.

"Oh? Who?" Yuan Mu became curious.

"He is the father of your beloved apprentice."

"Uncle Liu?"

"Yes, it's Lao Liu. He called me and I agreed." Zhou Zhennan nodded.

"Oh, I see." Yuan Mu nodded slowly.

"You do it first, and then you can delegate it to the local level when the right opportunity comes."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

. . . . . . . . . . .

On September 5, Yuan Mu officially took up his post and rode his bicycle to the Ministry of Public Security office building in Dongcheng District wearing a police uniform.

It is very close to Tiananmen Square, just diagonally opposite, and only a few minutes' walk away.

Looking at the magnificent office building in front of him, Yuan Mu was filled with high spirits for a moment. He never thought that he would come here to work one day. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he took a step forward and wanted to go in.

"Hello comrade, please show me your ID!" The sentry standing guard at the door stopped Yuan Mu directly.

"Hello comrade, I'm new to the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and this is my appointment!" Yuan Mu happily took out a document and his ID from his bag and handed them to the sentry.

The sentry took the documents and certificates and looked at them carefully. After about a minute, he returned the items to Yuan Mu and stood at attention and saluted.

"Hello, Director Yuan!"

Yuan Mu also stood at attention and saluted, then smiled and nodded at him, got on his bike and entered the yard.

This was just a small episode and Yuan Mu didn't take it to heart. Besides, it was just a routine check-up.

The compound of the Ministry of Public Security is very large, with many police cars parked inside. There is a flag-raising platform in the middle, with the national flag flying high at the top.

"Master! Master!" At this moment, a voice came from behind. Yuan Mu turned around and saw Liu Jun riding a bicycle towards him in a police uniform.

"Why are you here?" Yuan Mu wondered. Shouldn't this kid be in school?

"Master, I'm worried that you won't be able to find the place this first time, so I'll take you to register!" Liu Jun laughed.

"You kid." Yuan Mu shook his head helplessly.

"Let's go, Master!"

The two parked their bicycles in the same place and then walked into the office building. Liu Jun was really familiar with the place. He took Yuan Mu all the way up to the sixth floor and came to the door of one of the offices with a sign of the Director of the Political Department.

"Knock knock knock!" Liu Jun knocked on the office door directly.

"Creaky!" The office door opened and a man in his thirties wearing a pair of black glasses stood at the door.

When the man saw Liu Jun, he was stunned at first, and then he started laughing.

"It turns out to be Comrade Liu Jun!"

"Okay, Secretary Guan, don't be polite. Just call me Xiao Liu." Liu Jun said carelessly.

Secretary Guan smiled but did not respond.

"Are you here to see Director Zou?"

"Yes, I brought my master here to report today. Does Uncle Zou have time?" Liu Jun nodded with a smile.

Yuan Mu stood behind and watched this scene without saying anything. He had foreseen this situation a long time ago. Liu Yaoguo was the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security, so it was not surprising that those important leading cadres knew Liu Jun.

This Secretary Guan is obviously Director Zou's secretary, so it is normal for him to know Liu Jun.
