Chapter 225: Guo Junshan receives a banner and is interviewed by reporters
"Are you here so early?" Guo Junshan put his bicycle away and hurried to the office: "Didn't you say half past nine? Only two minutes left..."
Liu Wenge said angrily, "It's still early! The reporters from the newspaper have been here since nine o'clock, waiting to interview you!"
Guo Junshan didn't know the reporter was coming, so he asked suspiciously, "Why are you interviewing me?"
"Team Leader, you are the biggest contributor to our quick resolution of this dismemberment case!" Liu Wenge explained hastily, "Team Leader Zheng said that the higher-ups thought this case deserved some publicity.
It can serve as a warning to women, making them more aware of their own safety, and also help to reassure the public."
Qian Kangmei came out and saw Guo Junshan finally returned. She urged him, "Team leader, hurry up! Tong Yu's mother has already arrived."
Qian Sujuan's parents are here too. They made a silk banner for you. There are also reporters from the newspaper, they are all waiting in the conference room!
Guo Junshan pushed open the door of the conference room and as soon as he entered, he saw two white-haired old men kneeling in front of him.
"Comrade Guo Junshan, we old couple are here to apologize to you! We believed Mr. Lin's lies and went to the criminal police team to make trouble. We were wrong!"
"Officer Guo, thank you! If it weren't for you and Captain Zheng's insistence, my daughter would have died in such an unclear manner. I'm just old and confused..."
Guo Junshan quickly helped the two old men up and said sincerely, "Old comrades, I just did what I should do. This is not a credit.
Besides, I was demoted to Dahe Town at the time, and at most I could only provide some insights into solving the case. The real contributors were my colleagues in the Criminal Investigation Team, and our team leader, Zheng Guangming. I don't dare take credit for it."
Qian's mother stood up with the help of Guo Junshan, and tremblingly handed over a banner, saying, "I know the criminal police team ran around and made a lot of efforts for my daughter's case.
We've already sent a banner to the team to express our gratitude. This banner is for you alone. I'm old and confused, I listened to that beast and came here to make trouble."
The reporter from the newspaper pressed the shutter to record this scene.
Qian's father wiped his tears and agreed, "Comrade, please accept this banner! The comrades from the criminal police team have already told us that if we hadn't followed your line of investigation, my daughter's case would have been difficult to solve."
Zheng Guangming came over and said to Guo Junshan, "Junshan, just accept it! This is a small token of appreciation from the two elders. Don't make them feel unhappy."
Guo Junshan accepted the banner and said with some guilt, "Actually, I did do something wrong. If I had been calmer and not gone to the hospital to cause trouble, this case might have been solved faster."
At that time, Qian Sujuan's case had reached a dead end. Guo Junshan felt that something was wrong with Lin Sheng, but he could not find any solid evidence. In desperation, he came up with this crooked trick.
He caused a scene at the hospital where Lin Sheng worked, and the hospital leader directly called the leader of the criminal police team to complain about his behavior.
Lin Sheng instigated his father-in-law and mother-in-law to go to the criminal police team and make a scene. In order to calm the situation and protect Guo Junshan, the leaders of the criminal police team demoted him to Dahe Town.
Zheng Guangming patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Every failure is a learning experience. Don't be so impulsive next time."
The reporter reminded them, "Please stand still so I can take a group photo of you."
After seeing off Qian Sujuan's parents, Tong Yu's mother came over holding a banner. She looked up at Guo Junshan and tears fell as soon as she opened her mouth.
Guo Junshan understood Tong Yu’s mother’s feelings. At this moment, she must be feeling extremely guilty, blaming herself for not protecting her daughter.
Guo Junshan lowered his head and comforted her, "Comrade Jin Yan, you've been crying all the time. If the child knew, he would definitely be very worried."
Jin Yan wiped away her tears and said with a sob, "Officer Guo, thank you!"
She couldn't control her tears. After handing over the banner, she simply squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
Guo Junshan held up a banner and said to Qian Kangmei, "Come over and comfort me quickly. I'm a gay, so it's not convenient for me."
Qian Kangmei complained silently: You remember that I am a lesbian at this time, but why don’t you remember it when you are handling cases?
She was furious when she thought about how Guo Junshan had asked them to jump into the sewer to retrieve body parts during the investigation. Although she was not allowed to complain as a criminal police officer, she was still furious.
Guo Junshan really treated her as a man, and as for Liu Wenge and the others... they were donkeys.
Despite all the complaints, Qian Kangmei still helped Jin Yan, who was about to faint from crying.
Having one's own daughter killed by the man beside her is enough to make anyone collapse. But Jin Yan couldn't fall down, as she still had several children to raise.
Jin Yan grabbed Qian Kangmei's hand and pleaded, "Comrade police, can you please shoot that beast immediately? He's not a human being... As long as he's alive, I can't face my daughter."
"Comrade Jin Yan, don't worry, the law will judge him." Qian Kangmei comforted her, "Just be patient and wait. He won't be able to escape the punishment of the law."
Jin Yan was crying like this, so she definitely couldn't cooperate with the reporters to take photos.
But time was tight, so the reporter weighed the options and started interviewing Guo Junshan with his notebook in hand.
"Hello, Officer Guo!"
Guo Junshan glanced at her ID and said politely, "Hello, reporter."
"Please answer a few questions for me. I want to ask you, you were punished for Qian Sujuan's case. What did you think during your time in Dahe Town? Did you complain?"
Guo Junshan pondered for a moment and replied, "When I first went to the countryside, I did feel a little unbalanced. But it wasn't because I was punished, but because I didn't catch the murderer, and my conscience was uneasy.
Lin Sheng and Gou Hanmei were hiding very deeply. It was only after I was inspired that I reminded Captain Zheng Guangming to send people to Linjia Bay to investigate.
Fortunately, the result was positive. My colleagues found the relationship between Lin Sheng and Gou Hanmei and solved the case. I was extremely happy when I knew the case was solved.
The reporter nodded and asked, "Can you tell me what you do in Dahe Town?"
"In Dahe Town, I'm just an ordinary grassroots police officer. The cases I deal with are like missing chickens, missing people, and mediating neighborhood conflicts. But these cases are very challenging.
I've been in Dahe Town for a while and have corrected many of my shortcomings. Even our captain said that my personality has improved a lot since I came back."
Guo Junshan paused for a moment, his fingertips touched the envelope in his pocket, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"As long as it's about the people, there's no such thing as a small matter. Whether you're a grassroots police officer or transferred back to be a criminal police officer, you're all serving the people!"
Zheng Guangming nodded with satisfaction. This apprentice finally learned to restrain his edge and truly integrate into the masses.
The reporter's questions were tricky and sharp, and Guo Junshan would rather speak in an official tone than say a wrong word.
"I've been to your office and saw a lot of banners on the wall. They were all given to you personally. What do you think about this?"
Guo Junshan's gaze slowly swept across the crowd. He smiled and said, "Honor belongs to the collective. The public only sees me standing in front of them, but ignores the criminal police officers who silently contribute behind the scenes."
Fellow reporter, I have a suggestion. The focus of this interview shouldn't be on me alone. Every member of the criminal police team has put in the hard work; they are the real heroes."
