South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

After returning to prison, Yuan Mu was commended by the prison. After all, the two thieves he caught were involved in an old case and also vindicated a police officer.

Therefore, in view of Yuan Mu's merits and excellent performance, the prison promoted Yuan Mu to the captain of the third team in the fourth prison area.

Time passes day by day, and in the blink of an eye it is the Spring Festival.

Maybe other places are decorated with lights and full of joy, but it is different in prison. It is still so depressing, and the closer it gets to the Spring Festival, the busier the prison becomes.

Because many thieves rush to steal during the Spring Festival travel period, hoping to have a prosperous year. But there is a saying: don't steal, or you will be caught.

However, compared with other prisons, Harbin No. 1 Prison is not so bad. After all, it is a place that only holds serious criminals. Other prisons have long been overcrowded, and many prisoners have been transferred here.

Now Yuan Mu’s daily job is to take prisoners, register them, interrogate them, then take prisoners again, register them again, interrogate them again, and repeat this process.

Of course, there are always those who are short-sighted and think that Yuan Mu is easy to bully because of his youth. Without exception, they were all beaten by Yuan Mu's electric cannons and flying kicks so badly that they couldn't even get up.

This year, during the Chinese New Year, the prison gave the prisoners dumplings for the first time ever. The superiors allocated a batch of flour, and although there were dumpling skins, the dumpling fillings were still vegetarian, with cabbage fillings, and almost no oil or water.

But this was already considered a very good meal, and the prisoners ate it with relish.

Compared with the prisoners, the prison guards and other staff are much better. During this period, Yuan Mu took people to the mountains again and shot two wild boars, several roe deer, musk deer, and a large number of pheasants and rabbits.

This time, the dumplings eaten by everyone in the prison are all filled with meat, and the fillings are all made with lard. When you take a bite, the oil sizzles and the fragrance is so delicious that it will wreak havoc on you!

. . . . . . . . . .

Spring goes and autumn comes, and in the blink of an eye it is already Yuan Mu's fourth year working in Harbin No. 1 Prison. Today is May 11, 1978.

That crazy movement has ended for more than half a year. Although the country is still in a state of depression, it is much better than before.

On this day, Yuan Mu was watching the prisoners working as usual, and Xiao Wang walked towards Yuan Mu quickly.

"Yuan Mu, the leader wants to see you."

"Ah? What's the matter?" Yuan Mu was stunned.

"I don't know either." Xiao Wang shook his head.

"Okay then. Xiao Ming, you take care of him. I'll be back soon!" After making some arrangements, Yuan Mu followed Xiao Wang to the warden's office.

"Leader, are you looking for me?" Yuan Mu asked after knocking on the door and entering the room.

"Oh, yes, please sit down." Zhang Meng nodded and motioned Yuan Mu to sit down.

"It's like this. There is a serious shortage of police force in various places now, so the higher-ups have ordered to transfer police forces from prisons to work locally. I want to ask if you have this idea?" Zhang Meng took out a cigarette and handed it to Yuan Mu and asked.

Yuan Mu was stunned. Transferred to another place? So he could leave the prison?

"Can I go too?"

"Of course. Actually, I've already seen that you don't want to stay in prison. You are so capable that you shouldn't stay here. This place restricts your talent. Even if there is no order from above, I will talk to you about this matter."

"How about it? Is there any place you want to go? Tell me and I will try my best to help you." Zhang Meng said with a smile.

After several years of contact, Zhang Meng likes Yuan Mu very much. He is capable and has strong execution ability. There is nothing he cannot handle. He also doesn't want to let Yuan Mu go.

But he also knew that if he detained Yuan Mu, he would be harming him and hindering his progress. The best way was to let him go. This was a favor, and Yuan Mu would remember him in the future.

"Thank you so much, leader. I won't be polite with you. I want to go back to Ningyang!" Yuan Mu immediately stood up and said excitedly.

"Ningyang is your hometown. Let me think about it." Zhang Meng nodded and thought for a moment.

"Okay! Then I'll communicate with the Ningyang Public Security Bureau!"

"Leader, can I go to the Railway Public Security Bureau? After all, my parents worked in the Railway Bureau back then." Yuan Mu said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Hey! I thought it was a big deal. No problem. It just so happens that I have a comrade-in-arms in the Ningyang Railway Public Security Bureau. They would be happy to have such an outstanding person like you go there!" Zhang Meng nodded with a smile, and then started the phone call in front of Yuan Mu.

Soon, Zhang Meng communicated with the Ningyang Railway Public Security Bureau.

"I'll write you a letter of introduction, and then you just need to go to the warden to sign it. Then you can wait for Ningyang to send you a transfer order and take up your post."

"Thank you, leader, thank you!" Yuan Mu was very moved and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Okay, I just see that you have the ability. If you are a fool, I won't help you." Zhang Meng smiled and waved his hand.

A letter of introduction was quickly written and Zhang Meng handed it to Yuan Mu.

"Go ahead. This time you are going to Ningyang to serve as a criminal police officer in the Railway Criminal Police Team. I hope you can work hard and protect the lives and property of the people!"

"Yes! I guarantee to complete the task!" Yuan Mu stood at attention and saluted, respectfully took the letter from Zhang Meng and turned to leave.

Perhaps it was because Zhang Meng had already greeted the warden, so things went very smoothly when he got to the warden's place. After encouraging Yuan Mu for a few words, he let him go.

On the way back, Yuan Mu took out a ginseng from the space. This was something Yuan Mu found on the mountain. According to Zhang Meng's personality, he might not accept it if you gave it to him, but this was different.

Yuan Mu had given Zhang Meng a lot of pheasants, rabbits and the like before, because he had children at home and needed money, but he had never given him ginseng.

"Knock knock!" Yuan Mu knocked on Zhang Meng's office door again.

"Xiao Yuan, why are you back again?" Zhang Meng was a little confused.

"Leader, this is the wild ginseng I dug in the mountains. It is the best thing for nourishing the body and replenishing qi and blood. I'm giving it to you." Yuan Mu took out a box from behind and placed it on Zhang Meng's desk.

Zhang Meng looked at Yuan Mu meaningfully, but he did not refuse. Although he couldn't use it now, it didn't mean he wouldn't need it in the future. Besides, he had elderly people at home, and this was a good thing.

"Okay, then I'll accept it, but don't do this again in the future!" Zhang Meng took the box and put it directly into the drawer of his desk.

"Yes! Leader! I'll treat you to a meal before I leave. Please do me a favor." Yuan Mu said with a smile.

"Okay, I have to drink with you. Just notify me directly when the time comes!" Zhang Meng nodded with a smile.

"Okay! Thank you again, boss! I'm leaving now!"

"Okay, get out of here!" Zhang Meng cursed with a smile.
