Chapter 458: Daily life of a police officer (1)
Naturally, the combat video footage, edited by Athena was released to the public, displaying Spirit Fox's skills and cold efficiency.
The video spread across many media. People shared the footage on Weibo and commented on their opinions. Most were shocked by the gang's equipment even overwhelming the special operators. Machine guns, RPGs, and armored vehicles.
This was clearly negligence of several government parties and they were outraged. Though everyone understood gangs were powerful, they never expected the gangs to be so arrogant.
Fortunately, Spirit Fox solved the crisis in the cradle. At the same time, residents gradually had their trust in Yang Qingyue's police force. They had seen changes happening this year.
If they didn't trust the new units and superiors, where could they put their belief? They must never let the people who worked for them feel chilled. So, banners of support rose among the netizens plus some fervent citizens in small groups to show support.
The virtuous circle was formed as the officers felt gratified and that what they worked hard was meaningful.
Of course, the combat footage had a deterrence effect on every criminal and the gang. Another powerful tool to restrain them from overreacting.
While layman observed Spirit Fox's achievement and gangs' annihilation, military and relevant experts saw things more clearly.
The superior tactics and techniques each Spirit Fox operator honed. The cooperation between individuals and units as a whole. The ruthlessness exhibited by every operator.
Every operator delivered accurate shots to the heads to put down the targets, nothing was wasted. Deadly efficiency in terms of energy management. Under heavy fire, they acted calm, a bit too calm, for any observer.
The moment Xiao Yue sieved the suspect through the door concealment depicted skills and alertness. Athena edited and compiled every helmet-cam video into a single file while blurring some scenes unsuitable for ordinary people.
Although the timing of such a video seemed nothing out of the ordinary other than highlighting Spirit Fox's achievement, military superiors didn't believe things were simple. Yang Qingyue was sending them a message that next time, things wouldn't simply end in dialogue.
Mama Yang decided to visit her daughter after viewing the video and hearing the experts' briefing. She never expected her daughter to be armed so well. The final part of the footage concluded the aftermath through the drone's lens at the field battle between operators and the gangs.
Plus, many women who were rescued also became heated topics. Despite faces blurred to hide their identities, everyone took note of the torture the victims had to experience and expressed sympathy. These parts were disclosed after obtaining permission from the victims.
The focus also shifted to the fact that the operation hadn't ended yet. Many realized the dangers were far from over. Other gangs still thrived and they were another force to be reckoned with. At least, Spirit Fox's existence soothed people's minds.
While others had nightmares and trouble sleeping, many ordinary people slept well, understanding they were protected and the future looking better.
During this week, there were also people who were exhilarated, out of the moon experience. This included Alan's couple. Alan and Lin Bing felt that their holiday was fulfilling.
They obtained first-hand accounts and footage. They experienced hostage rescue together with the police. Not to mention, they met Spirit Fox twice.
Fortunately, busy events didn't affect their original plan to spread police awareness. Cai Ning still agreed with the video recording. They followed and interviewed officers on patrol vehicles, foot patrol, desk officers, and emergency centers.
Feedback from the fans supported the couple's effort. Their energy seemed to get never exhausted. Close session becoming a police officer raised intrigue and interest.
Today was the day, the couple would serve as traffic police officers. They trained for two days straight before they were allowed to participate.
Their mission was to patrol the city on motorbikes. So, they trained the basics of a rider and some advanced techniques, which they wished they learned more.
Unfortunately, time was tight but they had taken note and prepared to train themselves later based on the doctrine they experienced.
Both exited the closets and exchanged a thumbs-up. The motorcycle traffic police uniform was a mixture of reflective yellow and black jackets and black pants. Alan and Lin Bing looked handsome and exhibited an air of authority.
Of course, that was when everyone ignored Alan's blond hair. Speechless, Alan put on the helmet and refused to take it off, the entire day during the mission.
In order to drive the new motorbikes, the training of Alan and Lin Bing included lifting the downed motorbike singlehandedly without help. Despite their skillful maneuver during motorcycle ride, they weren't allowed to participate unless they passed this test.
Tired yet excited, the two succeeded after several trials. The exercise tested physical strength, endurance and techniques, The latter was of the utmost importance.
Fortunately, they lunged over the only obstacles apart from learning more laws and regulations, a necessary skill for the police officer to quibble.
What if one day a criminal knew law more than the officers and scammed them? That would be an embarrassing situation.
Alan and Lin Bing didn't need to study those since they only served as traffic motorpolice for a day. Ready, they were summoned to the briefing room where the supervisor talked about today's mission and the route the officer would be responsible, along with specific tasks their team must enforce.
DUI check—Drinking under intoxication, Checkpoints, parking enforcement. Alan and Lin Bing listened carefully while both recorded the rare scene of real work.
Afterward, they dashed for their favorite bikes. Chatting and laughing with their colleagues, the two hopped on the bikes and followed behind the team.
A team of 10 officers departed from the station and began patrolling to show police presence.
Their fleet attracted people's attention, most even videoed them with phones. By now, Lin Bing and Alan used helmet cam and automatic tracking camera on the bike to record their duty scene. These videos from different source would be edited later and posted on his account after undergoing some checks by the police as negotiated with Chief Cai before.
The two were in a second last row of a long double column formation. Nobody dared to place them at the last row without veteran officers' eyes.
Starting from the morning, what the team did was to issue tickets to illegally parked vehicles, warn road users who were violating traffic law and reprimand them. They resorted to warning rather than taking lawful actions.
Fines were imposed for more severe cases but most of the time, people were let go and their identity recorded in the warning list. In case, if another officer found them committed the same violations again, they would surely receive a fine.
Alan and Lin Bing had wonderful time, writing tickets and interacting with fellow officers. Not to mention, they were riding around the city blocks, enforcing law. How powerful and lively, their moods were?
Of course, if the job went to a daily basis, they might not have this idea at all.
"Alan, Lin Bing, have you finished writing?" The team leader asked.
Both put the final paper below the cars' wiper and nodded. "Yes, mission completed. Any advice?"
"Then, let's go and hop on your bikes." The team leader smiled at the duo's eagerness. "We have a long day to go. You're ready for the night shift."
"Yes, Sir." The two saluted and jumped on their bikes. Although officers should only play one shift per day at most, the two were reluctant to part with the rare opportunity.
Who knew when they would have another chance to serve as police? Quickly, the team departed again and continued its patrol.
They received a message, requesting their presence for vehicles accident. The team flipped the siren and rushed out. Lin Bing and Alan were a bit excited in spite of bad news because they could now drive with blaring siren.
