Ren Yi spent the night with his dad in the nursing home.
Early the next morning, the two woke up around the same time.
Ren Yi opened his eyes, and saw Ren Xiangrong sitting on the bed, staring at him intently: "When did you come?"
"Last night, you went to bed early, so I didn't call you." Ren Yi yawned and smiled at his father, feeling relieved that his father had returned to normal. I don't know when it started, seeing his father is like gambling, sometimes he is a normal father, sometimes he is a patient.
But Ren Xiangrong didn't have the joy he usually saw on his face, and said lightly: "Then you go back, it's so uncomfortable to sleep here, the bed is so small."
"It's okay, I just got a feel for how the resting environment here is."
"Environment? The environment is naturally inferior to that of a private hospital."
Ren Yi was taken aback for a moment: "... that is."
"There are always people playing and singing in the garden during the day. It's very unpleasant. There is an old man upstairs who is schizophrenic. He sometimes screams in the middle of the night. It's scary. A nurse takes care of several elderly people. Every time he takes a bath, the water is not hot enough, and the food is too weak. , I got tired of eating after a long time." Ren Xiangrong finished in one breath, "Other than that, everything is pretty good."
Ren Yi was at a loss for a moment. His father has never complained to him that the place is not good. It should be said that his father hardly complains about anything. He always regards not causing trouble to his children as the first principle. There is something wrong.
Ren Xiangrong looked at Ren Yi with harsh eyes: "Of course it's not as good as a private hospital, but it's not bad. I live in peace of mind. We didn't come from a wealthy background, so we don't have so many delicate problems. I live in an intensive care unit of more than 1,000 a day and take a bottle of imported medicine worth tens of thousands, are you afraid that I can't bear it?"
Ren Yi's face turned pale immediately.
He was always afraid that his father would know about the private hospital and the negative impact it would have on him, because his father would definitely be very angry.
The result is still not hidden.
"Dad, listen to my explanation."
"What do you want to explain? You told me that you use medical insurance, and you can't spend a lot of money personally. As a result, most of the money is not covered by medical insurance. You can afford the money yourself?"
Ren Yi said awkwardly: "They have public welfare medical quotas for veterans."
"Isn't that because of Gong Yingxian, otherwise, would I be able to pick up this spot on the street?"
"... Dad, how do you know."
"Someone was talking secretly here, and I overheard it." Ren Xiangrong said angrily, "How long are you going to hide it from me? Such a big matter, almost turned into bribery in nature, you don't tell me, even if you are punished ?!"
Ren Yi said in a low voice: "I don't want you to worry, and the matter is over now."
"It's over? Do you see that your current state seems to be in the past? I called Chen Xiaofei yesterday and you have been suspended. When are you going to tell me!" Ren Xiangrong became angrier as he spoke, and slapped Ren Yi's head, this is the starting gesture of Ren Yi who he taught mischief before.
With this beat, the dry powder hidden in the hair immediately flew into the air, and was illuminated by the morning sun into luminous dust, sprinkled on his heart bit by bit, turning into gravel to grind his self-esteem.
Ren Yi took a deep breath: "You called Team Chen? Why did you call Team Chen? Plead for mercy? Originally, when I was young, there were many people gossiping behind the captain's back. We agreed to avoid suspicion. I don't need you to plead for me!"
"You are upright and upright, and you are not afraid of gossip behind others' backs. You did something stupid yourself. I will call and ask what's wrong."
"Why don't I be upright, I just hope you can get good care, and I'm afraid you won't be able to adapt to the nursing home."
Ren Xiangrong pointed at him excitedly and cursed: "What can't I adapt to? I can adapt to a fire scene of hundreds of degrees, and I can adapt to being buried underground for seven days and eight nights. Is there anything in your life that I cannot adapt to?" , do you need to do such a stupid thing?!"
Ren Yi was already very angry, but still reluctantly suppressed it: "Anyway, anyway, the matter is over. As long as I go to study and come back, the higher-ups will not pursue it. Can you stop mentioning it?"
"Why, I can't educate you anymore? How great is it for you to become a squadron leader? You have no sense of propriety, no brains, if you are fired for this, I... I..."
"Didn't I not be fired?" Ren Yi raised his voice step by step, "Gong Yingxian just wanted to thank you for saving him back then, and I agreed for your own good. I made a mistake and I was punished, you Can you say a few words less?"
"Am I saying you're wrong? Huh?"
"You're right, you're both right." Ren Yi stood up abruptly, with such force that he knocked over the stool, grabbed his coat, "I don't want to quarrel with you, I'm leaving." After speaking, he turned around and left .
"Ren Yi, stop for me!"
Ren Yi walked to the door, paused for a while, and finally left without looking back.
---
Ren Yi's mood was extremely bad. He thought that the year when he met Gong Yingxian would be a year full of splendor in his life, but he didn't expect it to be a year full of thorns and pits.
Ask him if he regrets it? He doesn't know either.
When he returned to the squadron, he looked dejected, playing games in the dormitory, didn't want to eat, and fell asleep when he was tired.
Because I went to bed too early, I woke up earlier than the original biological clock the next day. He got up and took a shower, and while waiting for the exercise, he opened the file bag on the desk.
Inside are some related materials that he is about to learn.
In fact, Chen Xiaofei and Qu Yangbo have already persuaded him to study for a master's degree, even if he is a part-time job, it will be good for his future development. Qu Yangbo is already studying for a doctorate, and every line of his resume can dazzle people's eyes. But he doesn't like to study, and he always procrastinates on the excuse of being busy. Now, it's time.
He wanted to read the materials, but his mind was restless, and his eyes were fixed on the black and white paper, but they were always serialized. He had no choice but to put down the materials, grabbed his mobile phone, sighed softly, and sent a message to his dad: Great old Ren Comrade, dear dad, I was wrong, don't be angry.
What is he angry with his father? Not to mention that it was indeed his fault, even if he was right, he shouldn't lose his temper. In two days, buy Lao Ren's favorite food, sneak some wine, and go make up.
After his father figured it out, he began to think about Gong Yingxian again, thinking about everything in a mess, his thoughts were in a mess, and he couldn't sort them out no matter what.
He felt that it was necessary for him to do some psychological counseling, or... to worship a Buddha and ask for a lottery
He couldn't see or figure out many things clearly. How much he wished for some transcendent power to point the way forward for him, to save him all the goings-on and go back and forth, to clear away the clouds and mist, and to tell him the answer directly.
The more a person becomes a human being, the more he believes in God.
----
In the afternoon, Ren Yi received a call from Chen Xiaofei, asking him to go to the detachment, with a bad tone.
Ren Yi had a vague premonition of something.
He rushed to the detachment and entered Chen Xiaofei's office. As soon as the door was closed, Chen Xiaofei pointed at Ren Yi and said, "What did you tell the police?" He was obviously so angry that his face turned pale.
Ren Yi calmly said, "Captain Chen, what are you referring to?"
"Which thing? How many more things?" Chen Xiaofei said angrily, "Why did the police ask me about the details of the arson case at the palace house nineteen years ago? The question they asked obviously made me a suspect."
Ren Yi said sternly: "Based on the police reports of the squadron commanders and the evidence, I made a different analysis from the fire investigation report of that year. I believe you have heard that this case is likely to be arson. Not a suicide. But I never suspected you in assisting the police."
"Then why did the police come to question me?"
"Because a member of Cult X provided clues that we didn't have, and those clues... would point to you as one of the suspects."
"I'm just a firefighter, how could I..." Chen Xiaofei narrowed his eyes, "When did you know?"
"last month."
"Then what do you think of me these days?" Chen Xiaofei looked at Ren Yi, unable to hide his disappointment, "You also doubted me?"
Ren Yi felt uncomfortable: "Team Chen, I believe in your character, but the police must investigate every possible possibility. If you cooperate with the investigation, the suspicion will be cleared soon."
"Haven't you ever thought of reminding me to prepare me mentally? What do other people think of this fucking police coming to my office?"
"I'm sorry, Captain Chen, I really, really can't talk to you." Ren Yi felt his brain swell.
Chen Xiaofei was silent for a moment, and suddenly said with emotion: "Since when did we start to divide?"
"..."
"It was okay when you first joined the squadron. I wasn't the detachment leader at that time, but since I became the detachment leader, you have started to avoid suspicion. When you become the squadron leader, we will have no contact in private. Are you afraid Others think that the squadron leader you come here is unfair, but you only have this little confidence in yourself? Is this the only confidence you have in the organization?"
Ren Yi said awkwardly: "No."
Chen Xiaofei said sadly, "I watched you grow up, I don't have a son, and I regard you as a son in my heart, but in the end, you wish you could hide from me."
Ren Yi whispered: "Uncle Chen, I'm sorry. But I'm not just for myself, I'm also worried that you will be affected, and you know I'm not self-motivated, but you are different."
"I am not afraid of the shadow slanting, I am not worried, what are you worried about." Chen Xiaofei suddenly smiled bitterly, "Forget it, I have been with your dad for so many years, and I am actually used to it. This seat should belong to him, you are just like your father, with a donkey temper."
Ren Yi laughed dryly.
"Your father called me that day. We talked a lot. When we talked about the past, I suddenly remembered that I shouldn't have said you. I haven't seen my old captain for a long time." Chen Xiaofei looked at the calendar, "When are you going to visit your dad? I'll take your aunt with me, let's go together."
"Okay, it's fine for a few days, it depends on your time."
"Then Sunday."
Ren Yi nodded.
"For the case of the Gong family, why is my police report incomplete?" Chen Xiaofei frowned, "It's impossible for me to remember the details after so many years."
"It's not just yours. The completeness of the police report is less than 70%. Many of them are missing due to several moves and various reasons, but yours is more important. We suspect that the missing part of your report was taken by Zhang Wen. Gone, they said so themselves."
"Zhang Wen." Chen Xiaofei said fiercely, "This bastard really screwed me over."
"... Are you punished?"
"Yeah." Chen Xiaofei's face was full of anger, "Who would have thought that there would be an impostor. Are you caught?"
"I heard there are clues."
Chen Xiaofei rubbed the center of his brows: "Okay, you can go back, the police don't have evidence, so they dare not be rude to me, but this matter still upsets me, I hope they solve the case quickly, and don't make more troubles."
"Yes, then I'll go first."
"By the way, have you read the materials that asked you to go to study?"
"Look."
"I don't care if you are willing or not. I train you as my successor. This is not only my selfishness, but also the organization's affirmation and expectation of you. Study hard and don't let anything go wrong in the future."
"yes."
