At 13:10 in the afternoon, Xing Zhengyi and Zhao Zhenmin also arrived at Yongdingmen Railway Station.

Looking at the noisy scene in the square, the two of them were really dizzy. To be honest, coming to the train station was purely a matter of luck and not accurate at all. Moreover, they had never investigated at a train station with so many people, so they had no way of starting.

Zhao Zhenmin suggested walking around in different parts of the station separately, saying that what if the blind cat bumped into a dead mouse.

Xing Zhengyi had no better way, so he had to do this.

Seeing Zhao Zhenmin's figure submerged in the crowd, Xing Zhengyi walked in the other direction. He had no specific purpose, thinking that he would just go wherever there were people, but a long time passed and he didn't even see a single thief.

Xing Zhengyi is impatient and inevitably gets angry. But he also knew what was wrong with him. Having a bad temper and being unable to keep one's anger are all taboos for catching thieves.

He still remembered the first time he followed Director Qin when he came to the police station. That time he was jumping up and down and was so excited that he could ask five times in ten minutes, "Is the thief coming?" "Can we catch him?" He even wanted to rush up when he saw someone, making everyone look like a thief, which made Director Qin dumbfounded. Afterwards, although Director Qin praised his work enthusiasm, he also bluntly criticized him for being unreliable, saying that he was like his **** was on fire and couldn't stay at all. He also said that if you want to catch a thief, you must sit tight as a mountain and endure boredom.

Xing Zhengyi took out a cigarette again, which was his elixir to control his emotions. Smoking is really a good thing. After one cigarette, all the anger is gone. Since becoming a policeman, his addiction to smoking has only grown. The same goes for Zhao Zhenmin. The two of them are now smoking like a competition, both becoming chimneys.

While I was smoking, another group of passengers who had just got off the train poured out of the station exit. Seeing these people confused and asking for directions, Xing Zhengyi could only shake his head secretly.

Most of these people have just arrived in Beijing from other places, carrying large and small bags, and they are young and old, but their awareness of prevention is really poor. It is very obvious to some people that the bulging places on their bodies are money. If this attracts a thief, he will take it off.

In the late 1970s, no matter what the reason, it was a great thing to visit the capital. Almost all tourists who arrived in the capital for the first time were inevitably excited when they entered the gate of the capital. There are many of them who always feel like they have entered a safe when they arrive in the capital. It seems that with a great leader and Tiananmen, the capital will ward off evil spirits and all will be good people. It never occurs to them that there might be a thief around, possibly eyeing their belongings.

Thieves are also special, and they only like to prey on people who come to Beijing from other places. They don't care what happens after you cry, have no friends, are penniless, and are desperate. Some people often don't notice for a long time after being stolen. It's not until they have to pay for errands or need money at the hotel that they wake up from a dream and get a slap on the head.

Those shameless thieves, they do nothing every day and only live by stealing. How much of this is other people's money for medical treatment? How much of it is someone else’s travel expenses? How much of it is the savings that others rely on for survival? No one is rich, how does it feel to lose money? When a family is in particular difficulty or needs money urgently, a narrow-minded person can really do something in a hurry.

Since Xing Zhengyi arrived at the Dongzhuang Police Station, several theft cases have occurred. Sister Cui, who was riding a bicycle to work, had her bag tucked into the back frame of her bicycle taken off. Aunt Pan, who was going to the street to buy groceries, had her money bag stolen while she was waiting in line. Although she lost only a few small coins, she really lost it. It broke their hearts.

What makes Xing Zhengyi feel most distressed is the retired Uncle He. After the old man lost a month's living expenses for his family, he just cried silently but said nothing. As a result, he was so filled with anger that he almost suffered a heart attack.

But this is not the most pitiful thing. Xing Zhengyi even heard that there were people in other gangs who lost their wallets and hanged themselves in anger. They were completely sworn in with the thieves. They hated the thieves and forced themselves to die.

Those abominable thieves have made people shed countless tears. If possible, Xing Zhengyi really wished he could catch all the thieves in the world. Every time one is caught, countless people are harmed.

Nowadays, in the daily work of Dongzhuang Police Station, cracking down on thieves and pickpockets has become the top priority of public security work, and the work of rebuilding social order has begun again. Xing Zhengyi is extremely eager to see a normal, clean and peaceful world again. He is even more prepared to devote his whole life to this. But this requires the joint efforts of all police officers, including him.

Xing Zhengyi heard Director Qin boast about the quality of the old police officers. He heard that every policeman at Dongzhuang Police Station was an expert in everything from criminal investigation to public security to civil affairs. Work without risking your life, the goal is ahead, everything is for tomorrow. But after a turbulent decade, some of those capable have retired, and some are still under scrutiny. There are now only four old people left in the house who are old, weak, sick and disabled who have experienced the ups and downs and are exhausted both physically and mentally.

Speaking of which, this is probably the biggest difficulty facing the public security system. Nowadays, all public security teams, without exception, have become of low quality, but it is difficult to improve quickly in a short period of time. And now we can’t transfer the useful ones, and please don’t leave the useless ones. It cannot be said that it is a mob, it is also a mess of people. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that the current police officers at various police stations will be mixed.

Xing Zhengyi could see that Director Qin was most troubled by this situation, but Director Qin's only way was to teach by words and deeds. But it is a pity that comrades who have changed careers are often easily satisfied with some achievements. What they lack is not only professionalism and practical experience, but more importantly, a lack of proactive spirit. Among the young comrades at Dongzhuang Police Station, only he and Zhao Zhenmin, two public school graduates, showed a unique desire to learn. It's no wonder that Director Qin attaches great importance to them.

Similarly, Xing Zhengyi also admired Director Qin deeply. He knew that Director Qin was an expert at catching thieves from the first day he went to work. He had also heard the story of Director Qin catching thieves many times. It was absolutely thrilling. But since he personally followed Director Qin on field missions, he really saw Director Qin's ability. This made him feel itchy and admired, and he regarded Director Qin as the best master wholeheartedly.

But when it comes to catching thieves, Xing Zhengyi also has his troubles. In the past few months, although he had been studying hard, he had not been able to detect the thief on his own initiative. Director Qin only told him after seeing him every time. Fortunately, Director Qin also said that he learned things quickly, but after studying for a long time, he still felt that he had not touched the door yet.

Speaking of which, he regards becoming a competent people's policeman as his lifelong goal. For this reason, he has made up his mind and will never give up until he makes a name for himself in the business of catching thieves. But when it comes to confidence, he feels that he has nothing else but his strong bones.
