Just as Franz was driving cattle to the fields and plowing the fields with his prime laborers in the manor, on the Roman Avenue by the River Emes, not far west of Crost Village, Ricky, the sheriff of Mormeland, was patrolling the avenue with his five formal policemen on a not-tall Eastern European Mongolian horse.
Behind them, there were 20 auxiliary police officers riding slightly taller horses. Of course, although the horses they rode were taller, they were ordinary horses rather than professional horses. The horses riding by Chief Ricky and 5 formal police officers in front were professional horses, Eastern European Mongolian horses imported from the Crimean Khanate. The horses riding by the auxiliary police officers were tall Western European breeds, but they were just ordinary horses that pulled carts and were not fast to carry people.
However, when there is a patrol mission, the auxiliary police can also borrow 20 horses from the town's transportation center and ride with the formal police to patrol.
The spring plowing season is the peak period for the police in Beihai Country to patrol. Because Marin needs to protect the secrets of high agricultural yields in Beihai Country, he naturally needs to dispatch a large number of people to patrol to avoid foreign spies coming in.
In the past 10 years, this task was actually always under the responsibility of the army. However, the army scattered the Beihai Kingdom's army to all parts of the country, causing the soldiers to suffer. Moreover, if the power is spread out, it will be a bit difficult to gather. If someone launches a raid on the Beihai Kingdom, the consequences will be very bad.
Just so happened that Marin established a police force last year and deployed police in every town. Therefore, Marin decided to take this opportunity to gradually hand over the patrol tasks to local police. The military's patrol scope was placed on the border of the North Sea Kingdom, rather than spreading it all over the country.
However, if you patrol the countryside, relying solely on the local sheriffs (the sheriffs all have horses), the sheriff and five formal mount policemen, patrolling the entire town seems to be insufficient. Therefore, Marin later ordered that during the spring plowing period, especially during the fertilization period, all the police in the town would go out to patrol, leaving only the sheriffs to handle various cases. The auxiliary police were not equipped with horses, so Marin asked the local transportation department, or the horse farm and manor with abundant horses, to lend horses to 20 auxiliary policemen, and let them patrol with the sheriff and the mount policemen. In this way, the sheriff and his 25 subordinates could barely patrol the entire town.
According to the plan, each formal policeman should have taken four auxiliary police officers as a group, responsible for patrolling several villages in one direction. The 5 formal police officers can be divided into 5 groups. Among them, the four groups will patrol in four directions, southeast, west and north. However, one group is left in Mormerland Town to prevent emergencies and cooperate with the sheriff to maintain public order. Of course, whoever stays in the town is rotated every day, and the team that stays in the town is actually equivalent to half a rest.
However, this year marks the first year that the police force has begun to try patrols. No one has the experience of patroling the police force, which was formed last year. Therefore, Marin asked the retired veterans to take these newbies to teach them how to patrol and interrogate suspicious people, including pursuing and surrounding suspicious people.
Therefore, for the first time participating in the Spring Farming Patrol, Sheriff Ricky, a veteran who participated in the Spring Farming Patrol ten years ago, began to guide the police officers under Xinzhao how to patrol and investigate. Moreover, this year, there are still troops to assist in patroling to avoid making mistakes due to the inexperience of novice police officers.
"You are so good. Now it is the busy spring plowing season. Farmers are very busy and usually don't go out. Even if you go out for business, you will definitely drive the village carriage to save time. After all, spring plowing is very busy and there is no time to waste..."
Then, Ricky raised his voice and said:
"So, boys! If you see someone walking leisurely on the land during spring plowing or autumn harvest, it seems that they are not in a hurry, and those who are looking around must come forward to interrogate. According to the laws of the Beihai Kingdom, during spring plowing and autumn harvest, even merchants with the right of passage will be invalidated and they are prohibited from going to the countryside. The nobles are also prohibited from going to the countryside to visit unless there is a special pass... In short, no matter who sees, even the nobles, they must come forward to interrogate to avoid foreign spies from hiding in!"
The new police officers nodded and said they remembered...
This is the characteristic of Beihai Kingdom - travel restrictions during spring plowing and autumn harvest, and irrelevant people are prohibited from wandering around the road. Those who cannot tell their identity and origin and do not have a special permit will be detained for interrogation.
It is precisely because of this harsh regulation that the secrets of high agricultural yields in Beihai Kingdom have not been leaked for more than ten years, which is a miracle.
...
The Ames River is an "international waterway" connecting the Lipper River and the Rhine River. Therefore, the identity of the ships on the river is very complicated. Although sailing is restricted during spring plowing and autumn harvest, it is necessary to prevent enemy spies from sneaking in through the ships in the middle of the night and landing onshore to find out the news.
Therefore, the Roman Avenue by the Emes River is a key patrol area for the North Sea Kingdom. In addition to the police, the army is also distributed. So, when Chief Ricky was patrolling with 25 new police officers, he met two groups of patrolling sergeants. After saying hello to each other, Ricky took 25 subordinates to leave the main road and enter the rural road to patrol.
Ricky explained to his men as he walked:
"As a policeman, his eyes must be different from others. For example, an ordinary person's eyes may be just a faint glance. But the policeman's eyes must be sharp, making people look uncomfortable. Moreover, there must be doubt and scrutiny in his eyes... Well, look at me, that's it..."
After saying that, Ricky looked at the auxiliary policeman with suspicious and scrutinized eyes...
"Sheriff, I feel a little furious when you see it like this..." The auxiliary policeman who was looked at said in fear.
Ricky snapped his fingers and said:
"Yes, I'm so terrified that I'm so terrified. This is the gaze of a qualified policeman! The grand duke talked about this when he was training us. When he met a stranger, no matter whether he was a good person or a bad person, first look up and down with the police's professional suspicion and scrutiny. Maybe you don't have any thoughts in your mind, but if the criminal who committed the crime is looked at by the police like this, you will definitely be nervous. Sometimes, under the strong psychological pressure, someone will collapse and will involuntarily want to escape. Once you see someone running away, you must immediately chase him without hesitation and knock him to the ground with a baton..."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Ah? Beat it to the ground?" A group of new police officers were a little dumbfounded. They had not found out that they were guilty...
"Yes, knock it to the ground! If you have no ghost in your heart, what will you see the police running away? Let's talk about it first! Also, after being looked at by our police's professional gaze, we look very uncomfortable and too nervous. We must go forward and interrogate carefully. We must never let a suspicious person go!" Ricky continued to educate.
"Sheriff, what does it mean to look particularly uncomfortable? What does it mean to be too nervous? This is impossible to judge. Moreover, as far as I know, anyone who is looked at by such suspicious eyes will be uncomfortable, right?" asked a formal policeman in confusion.
Ricky thought for a while and said:
"I don't understand very much. This is what the Grand Duke teaches us. It is a psychological deterrent. The police's eyes should be like the falcon's gaze, which makes the prey scare when they see it... However, Grand Duke said that when we are fine, we can try it with ordinary people. If we examine ordinary people with the eyes of police, we can see the reactions of ordinary people. When we see more ordinary people's reactions and see different reactions from ordinary people, we can judge it as abnormal. In that case, we have to interrogate carefully..."
"Oh, I understand. The policeman's eyes turned out to be bluffing..." a auxiliary policeman concluded.
Ricky was so angry that he knocked on the helmet on the guy's head with a baton, scolding:
"You know P, the grandfather said that this is called psychological tactics! In addition, this kind of police scrutiny gaze is the basic professional quality of our police. After returning, everyone practices this kind of bluff... Oh, it is a professional scrutiny gaze! If you can't practice well, you don't have meat to eat! You can only eat black bread!"
