After closing the office door, Ren Yi pointed to the stool: "Sit."
The two sat at the desk facing each other, and Ren Yi looked at Li Sa.
Li Sa's personality is bright and not pretentious, and she is a bit boyish. As the only woman who joined the squadron, she did not encounter any obvious resistance. This made Ren Yi, who was worried and suspicious at first, relax a lot.
But what happened this time probably had a big impact on her.
Before Ren Yi could speak, Li Sa took the lead and said: "Team Ren, the instructor talked to me, and I also did psychological intervention. In fact, there is no need to exaggerate, I am fine."
"It is our responsibility to pay attention to your physical and mental health. I don't think there is any 'exaggeration'. The situation at that time should not be yours to take risks. What happened afterwards also made me and the instructor very worried about you." Ren Yi stared at Li Sa, "Everyone can tell that you are not in a good state. I don't want you to say 'nothing' to perfuse me."
Li Sa lowered her head, fiddled with her fingers, but did not speak.
Ren Yi said: "Did his death scare you?" The scene was too bloody, and it was indeed not something ordinary people could digest.
But Li Sa shook his head resolutely: "I used to serve in the fire brigade for two years, and I saw everything I needed to see. I'm not afraid."
"Then what's on your mind?"
Li Sa was silent again.
Ren Yi waited patiently.
After a long time, Li Sa said, "Captain Ren, what was the first time you saw someone die in front of you?" She explained, "I'm not talking about death after rescue failed. Just like him, one second alive, the next second... "
This time it was Ren Yi's turn to be silent. After a long while, he said, "I joined the squadron for the second year, and I was just allowed to enter the fire." When we arrived, someone called for help from the balcony on the fifth floor. It was an aunt who was about the same age as my mother. She was trapped in the security net and could not escape. The fire had already burned her body. She kept screaming and calling for help."
Li Sa listened with bated breath.
"The captain took us up, we used the fastest speed possible, ascended the ladder, sprayed dry powder, and clipped the anti-theft net. Through the anti-theft net, the aunt grabbed the captain's sleeve and begged us to save her. At that time, her The skin has already started to charcoal, the hair is already on fire, we wish we could tear open the anti-theft net with our bare hands, but in the end..." Ren Yi's eyes dimmed, "She died right in front of us."
Li Sa trembled slightly: "This...is different, that auntie is very pitiful, but Lu Boqing is a murderer."
"I know you're going to say that, but you're not indifferent to his death just because he deserves it, are you?"
Li Sa pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
"It's what I thought. You're not the only one who has these confusions, and this proves that you're becoming a qualified firefighter."
Li Sa looked at Ren Yi puzzled.
Ren Yi said seriously: "Firefighters face life and death every day. When a person needs our rescue, we never consider whether the person is innocent or guilty. The only thing we need to consider is how to save the person. Although this This time we are not trying to save Lu Boqing, but to prevent him from hurting others, but respect for life, compassion for the same kind, are precisely the most important qualities a firefighter should possess."
Li Sa was stunned.
Ren Yi said softly: "A living person dies in the blink of an eye. If he is a good person, you will feel guilty and painful for not being able to save him. If he is a bad person, you can't even give yourself enough reason to He mourns silently, but you feel sad. What you mourn is the death of your life, it has nothing to do with who it is, this is a normal emotion, you don't have to worry about it."
Li Sa took a deep breath, and the breath he exhaled was visibly trembling: "Captain Ren, why do you know what I'm thinking?"
Ren Yi smiled lightly, but did not answer.
He has endured almost all the pain that a firefighter has to endure.
Which veteran firefighter has not cried bitterly at night because of his helplessness.
Li Sa wiped his face, remained silent for a long time, and then smiled embarrassedly: "I'm also adjusting myself, and it will be fine in a few days."
"If you still have any problems, come and talk to me at any time. Although the instructor is very smart and eloquent, but the instructor doesn't go to the front line, he doesn't understand the psychology of soldiers as well as I do." Ren Yi winked at Li Sa.
Li Sa smiled and nodded.
"Oh, and according to my experience, you probably did some meritorious service this time. Let's wait for news from the detachment."
"I really don't care if I do meritorious service or not." Li Sa said frankly, "If you really want to reward me, you always know what I want, Team Ren."
Ren Yi stared at her: "Li Sa, can you tell me why you want to be a soldier so much. At first I thought you were transitioning to be a cadre, and you also have the conditions to be a cadre, but I found that you are not suitable for going to the front line. Too persistent, this kind of persistence may not be a good thing."
Li Sa and Ren Yi looked at each other with firm and calm eyes. Suddenly, she stood up and took off her coat.
When she started to take off her sweater, Ren Yi froze for a moment: "Hey, you..."
Li Sa took off the sweater neatly, wearing a close-fitting vest underneath.
Ren Yi's face darkened.
Li Sa turned around and showed Ren Yi the burnt skin on her back and shoulders. Those ugly scars were like blood-sucking monsters entrenched on her body, which was even more shocking against the delicate skin.
Ren Yi was speechless for a long time.
Li Sa got dressed calmly, gave a military salute to Ren Yi, and retreated.
Ren Yi slumped against the back of the chair, sighing.
----
Ren Yi took a shower, changed his clothes, and even scratched his hair with hairspray, just to make himself look more energetic. Then he left the squadron and walked home.
In fact, he didn't go home for only a week or two, but Ren Yi always felt that a long time had passed, maybe too many things happened these days, so many that he calmed down and thought about it, he felt like It's incredible to make a movie.
When he got home, the table was full of food, and Ren Yi glanced at it, and it was all his favorite food.
He called the nanny in advance, and the nanny went back after cooking. At this time, his father's usual meal time had passed, and his father was obviously waiting for him.
Seeing Ren Yi, Ren Xiangrong's expression was a little touched, but he held back and pretended to be angry and said: "Didn't you leave the hospital today, so you can't come back earlier."
Ren Yi smiled: "I'll go back to the squadron to deal with it for a while, and I'll come back quickly after I'm done with it, for fear of delaying your regular meals."
Ren Xiangrong snorted: "How is your recovery?"
Ren Yi shook his arms and legs: "It's nothing. Carbon monoxide is nothing. I'm the son of the old fireman. I have antibodies in my mother's stomach."
Ren Xiangrong couldn't help laughing: "You're talking nonsense."
Ren Yi sat at the table: "Dad, let's eat."
During the dinner, Ren Xiangrong asked about the process of dispatching the police.
Ordinary people only saw the first explosion in the hospital on the news, and the incident of Lu Boqing taking hostages later was not allowed to be reported by the media for fear of causing panic, so Ren Yi did not tell Ren Xiangrong, fearing that he would be more worried about himself.
After listening to Ren Xiangrong, he was very angry: "These bastards are getting more and more rampant. In fact, it stands to reason that the law and order in the past was far worse than it is now, and there are more arsonists, but now there is the Internet, these perverts actually get together through the Internet. gone."
"Yeah, this is the biggest headache for the police now. The police think they have formed a sect."
Ren Xiangrong frowned deeply: "... sect."
"Worshiping fire and saying that burning people to death is purifying people is very crazy. There are still many members of this organization lurking in the country, and it may be related to the case of the Gong family eighteen years ago."
Ren Xiangrong asked in surprise, "Really?"
Ren Yi nodded heavily: "That's why I was anxious to find you last time to find out what happened back then."
"But I don't seem to be of much help." Ren Xiangrong shook his head, "I'm so confused, I really can't remember."
"Dad, the police report you left has helped a lot. I have also retrieved the information from the detachment. If these things hadn't happened during this period, we would have started investigating."
Ren Xiangrong's face was solemn: "This is... a big event."
"Without the case of the Gong family, this is also a major event, but now the waters of this Yajiao sect organization are getting deeper." Ren Yi put down his chopsticks, "Dad, in fact, I told you this today, and there is one more thing I want to tell you. discuss."
"you say."
"From the fire at the Fourth View bar to the explosion at the Hongwu Hospital, the several cases that have occurred in the past few months are more or less related to this organization, and I am the police. Especially this time, I assisted the police The three of them were caught, I... am a little worried about being retaliated." Ren Yi didn't dare to tell his father that the information about him and Gong Yingxian had already been hung up on the Seraph, and he didn't expect the matter to be so serious before. Now he has to pay attention.
When he was in college, he took a little criminal psychology course related to arson. The probability of arsonism looks "bad", male, introverted, with low physical fitness and personal ability, low courtship ability leads to sexual depression, arson allows them to experience the pleasure of their power being magnified through fire, and fire Being in control makes them feel powerful, as Gong Yingxian said, most pyromaniacs are cowards.
And this kind of people set fires, usually not for the purpose of killing people, and the harm to people is only attached to the arson.
So at first they thought that pyromaniacs didn't have the guts to challenge the traditional "tough guy" image of the police and firefighters, and Beijing's security is so good, so they didn't take it particularly seriously.
But after the accident in Hongwu Hospital, Ren Yi was really scared, because his most important relative lived in the exposed home address.
Although most pyromaniacs are cowards, it is undeniable that there are many types of pyromaniacs that are far more dangerous, such as those who satisfy their own pathological heroism by setting fires and then putting them out to save people, such as those who take pleasure in killing people with fire antisocial personality, another example, the sect.
Originally, Lu Boqing should fit the profile of an arsonist with a high probability. His personality, experience, and appearance all make him look like he has low courtship ability. But when a person is brainwashed by the sect, these profiles will be overturned, because his behavior It's out of control.
Therefore, Ren Yi said awkwardly: "Dad, before the police destroy this organization, I want to send you to a nursing home for a while."
