The director's office, which was originally spacious, suddenly became unusually empty. There were only two people, Director Lu and Yan Yan, who stood and looked at each other, quiet to the point of a sense of oppression.
Yan Yan finally moved.
He reached out and pulled the chair behind the desk, lifted his trousers and sat casually, and said with a smile: "Yo, but I heard that this person is dead. The rescue operation three years ago? Who was rescued?"
There was no questioning or condemnation on Ju Lu's face that seemed to be always very kind, and his tone was not sullen, and he said slowly: "It is true that after the explosion, many people above believed that he was dead, but some people thought he did not. ."
The expression on Yan Yan's face listening intently was nothing unusual, but he knew that his palm was slightly oozing wetness:
"Who?"
"Former Deputy Mayor and Director of Public Security of Gongzhou, Yue Guangping."
Bureau Lu opened the thermos cup and took a sip of tea, swallowed it carefully, and then placed the thermos cup back on the table while Yan Yan watched, making a soft sound.
"This matter is rarely known in the public security system, and even Lao Wei has only heard about the part of the explosion. But in fact, after the explosion, the Gongzhou Municipal Public Security Department established a special team to investigate the failure of the operation. One of the leaders of the task force, Yue Guangping, the vice mayor who had just retired at the time, suggested that Jiang Ting might not be dead, but was hijacked by drug dealers.”
"..." Yan Yan smiled briefly while meeting Lu Ju's gaze, "It's not impossible."
Bureau Lu obviously didn't care how he answered: "The task force decided to adopt Yue Guangping's opinion."
"The top priority at the time was to try to rescue the missing police undercover 'Rivet'. According to analysis, he was likely to be detained in an abandoned house at the junction of Gongzhou and Jianning, and he was at risk of being killed by drug dealers at any time. Soon after, the task force finally determined the exact location of where the 'Rivets' were being held, and decided to take immediate action to join the police forces in Jianning and Gongzhou to carry out an assault, but it was too late."
"As if they knew that the police would come, the abandoned house ignited a raging fire before the police car arrived. After the flames were put out, the police dug up the body of Jiang Ting's gun and 'rivet' in the rubble. The bullet killed him."
Bureau Lu suddenly stopped, and only Yan Yan's slight breathing could be heard in the huge office.
"The results of the ballistic analysis match the speculation. Jiang Ting's own fresh fingerprints were found on the handle of his gun."
Although the sound is not loud, there seems to be something suffocating in the void.
"From this point of view, it is indeed very likely that Jiang Ting killed the rivet." Yan Yan finally said after a long time.
If you look closely, his answer is actually very flexible. It seems to agree, but it is not actually bitten to death, and there are even some hints of doubt, but Lu Ju did not get to the bottom of him.
"That was the last time Jiang Ting appeared in front of people, and since then he disappeared. The public security system made sacrifices and did not confer the title of martyr." Lu Ju said lightly: "But I personally think that if he appears again, then It will be the harbinger of another great danger to come.”
He reached out and pulled back the computer monitor, Yan Yan stared blankly at the cold and handsome face that turned with the screen.
"Lu Bureau..."
"Well?"
Yan Yan opened his mouth and finally heard his own voice: "What kind of person do you think Captain Jiang is?"
Director Lu cleaned up the pile of scattered materials on the table without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he finally spit out a few words and said, "Young, courageous, and high IQ. Terribly high."
After a pause, he added: "This makes me personally feel very uncomfortable."
-Very uncomfortable.
This was the second time Yan Yan heard the same description in just an hour, and his eyes changed unconsciously.
"Go back," Lu Bureau waved his hand: "The comrades in the criminal investigation have worked hard these days. After the case file is transferred, we promise to give all those involved in the operation a holiday. Ah, tell everyone, keep going. ."
Yan Yan replied yes, got up and walked towards the door.
There was a lot of movement behind him. Bureau Lu was sorting out the files. Yan Yan's hand touched the doorknob and suddenly stopped again. He almost forced himself to turn around and face Lu Ju again, taking a deep breath, as if he had prepared something with this action:
"Don't you have anything else to ask me?"
"What?" Lu Ju lifted his eyelids, "No more."
"… "
Bureau Lv's tone was calm: "You are the one who grew up watching Old Wei, the current deputy criminal investigation branch, and the future chief branch. No matter what you do, you represent the Jianning City Public Security Bureau. We don't trust you. Who else can you trust? Go."
Lu Ju's fat body leaned behind the desk, Yan Yan was silent for a long time, bowed to him, turned and walked out.
·
Huang Xing actually followed, and was waiting anxiously at the elevator entrance. When he saw Yan Yan, he immediately stepped forward in three steps and two steps: "Team Yan..."
Yan Yan looked at him in a leisurely manner, and stepped into the elevator one step at a time.
Huang Xing rubbed his hands and followed him: "The other day you asked me to locate the chip, it was a trivial matter, and I didn't plan to tell anyone else. But after returning from the scene to the city bureau, Bureau Lu came to ask me in person like a prophet. The Technical Investigation Department retrieved the location records, so I really am…”
Yan Yan: "Huh?"
In fact, Huang Xing couldn't figure out what happened, and only vaguely guessed that Yan Yan's request for the location was related to the child's bloody clothes found at the scene. However, due to the limited technology in the province, Xueyi was sent to the top-level physical evidence laboratory in Beijing for testing after reporting to the Ministry of Public Security.
Judging from the few words that Huang Xing heard, the DNA test results were related to the case sealed up a few years ago, and Yan Xun was probably involved in it without authorization, and was called by Bureau Lu to scold him.
"How could I have expected this, I thought either someone ran away with your money, or your girlfriend ran away, or your mother told you to follow your dad..."
Yan Yan said, "Bah, the money belongs to my mother. If my father dares to cheat, he will leave the house!"
Huang Xing immediately praised Shun Mao for his flattery, and asked with a guilty conscience: "Ju Lu didn't scold you, did he?"
The elevator door opened, Yan Xun held his hand, and snorted coldly and patrolled Huang Xing up and down, until the latter smiled and the muscles on his face were sore, and then he took out his hand and patted him slowly twice:
"I don't want to scold you. Anyway, the five-star Zenith swimming pool buffet barbecue that I planned to invite you is probably gone."
Huang Xing: "..."
Yan Yan flung his sleeves and walked away. Director Huang stared at his back in a stunned manner, and after a while he said sadly, "...Why didn't you say there was a barbecue earlier?!"
·
Director Huang regretted it too much, but Yan Yan, the ruthless landlord class, ignored it and went straight to the office floor of the Criminal Investigation Detachment. On the face of it, he saw many criminal police officers with a cup of milk tea sharing snacks, cakes, chocolates, pizza and beef jerky on the table. , and there were two boxes of bright red cherries the size of a thumb on the side.
"Yo, public money to eat and drink, give me some." Yan Yan took out a few cherries and ate them casually, and asked loudly, "Who paid for the bill? The detachment's financial reimbursement will be reimbursed later, Ma Xiang will look back and remind you. I'll take it as an informant fee!"
Ma Xiang said vaguely while eating the pizza: "Don't be so troublesome, it's the victim who came to console us, now."
Yan Yan followed his gaze and looked out. A young man was standing in the corridor outside the big office, not knowing what he was looking at in the distance - it was Chu Ci.
"Eat! You know what to eat!" Yan Yan immediately slapped Ma Xiang: "You guys have eaten up half a month's internship salary!"
"Brother Yan, you don't understand." Ma Xiang burst into tears and said emotionally: "We Jianning's first evil force has been walking around the world for so many years, the first time I saw the victim come to the door not with a pennant but with a real I really bring snacks, I can’t control how many I send!…”
Yan Yan spat out the cherry pit, so she barely rubbed her hand on her five-figure trousers, hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe it, and walked out the door.
Chu Ci turned to him with a heavy expression, and was looking at the end of the corridor in the other direction. Yan Yan stopped and looked over, only to see two police officers holding Ding Dang, coming from a distance, preparing to take him to the detention center.
Ding Dang looked different from the innocent and weak when he first saw him, and the cruel and madness that day at the action scene. Yan Xun has been a police officer for more than ten years, and the criminal suspects who were personally sent to the detention center can fill up half the train. After the suspect pleads guilty, he is accustomed to all kinds of behaviors, such as despair, madness, unwillingness, ashes, and even great hatred. It is not unusual to report these. Dante's current performance is different from what he has seen. She stared at Chu Ci, her eyes seemed to be full of hatred, but when she got closer and observed it carefully, it seemed that there was something more complicated and indescribable after the hatred. .
Chu Ci looked back at her quietly, the two of them just passed by, and suddenly Ding Dang struggled to stand.
"Don't stop!" The policeman yelled at once, but was stopped by Yan Yan's eyes.
"That night at the factory, before the police broke in, you said that I was the mastermind." Ding Dang looked at Chu Ci, gritted his teeth and asked, "How did you know?"
Chu Ci seemed to have expected her to ask such a question for a long time, and her reaction was flat: "Because you said that Feng Yuguang asked you to go out to sing on the night of May 2nd, this sentence is a lie."
Not only Ding Dang, but also Yan Yan suddenly felt astonished that "he actually knew".
"You... you actually, you already knew... "
Ding Dang's face paled in disbelief. Chu Ci seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed it back and smiled.
It is difficult for outsiders to find that there is a trace of sadness hidden in that smile.
"Of course," he said, "Feng Yuguang packed a few review books in his bag before going out that day. Who brings books on a date?"
Ding Dang's hysterical shouts echoed in the corridor, and then he was taken away by the police and gradually disappeared at the end of the stairs.
"Cough cough!" Yan Yan cleared his throat and made a round of speech: "I'm here as soon as I come, and I'm still spending so much money."
Only then did Chu Ci take back the sight of her leaving, and turned around and handed the plastic bag in her hand to Yan Yan, as if she was a little embarrassed: "I didn't buy anything good, thanks to you for saving my life that day..."
In that plastic bag were two hard treasures.
Yan Xun said "Ouch", but after he refused twice, he still received it, and said with a smile: "It happens that there is a famine here, thank you. But it's really unnecessary. It's not we who saved you, but you who saved us - the hostages. If there are three longs and two shorts, we have to eat and hang in the entire bureau, reports, reviews, bonuses, promotions, and how many people will go home and be beaten by their wives.”
Chu Ci laughed.
"What's the matter, top student?" Yan Yan teased, "Are you still doing an internship, going back to Beijing or going back to your hometown?"
Chu Ci said: "I originally booked the ticket to return to Beijing three days ago, and it happened to pick up my mother and my brother from the hometown this morning. But the doctor said that the explosion hit the head and the risk of early discharge from the hospital was very high, so I changed it to today. Gone in the afternoon."
"It's too late to invite you to dinner. Are you going to study for a doctorate when you go back?"
Yan Yan thought he would say yes, but unexpectedly, Chu Ci stretched out, smiled deeper in his eyes, and replied, "Read a hammer."
Yan Yan: "…"
"I don't want to miss it. When I graduated from college, I wanted to find a job. My mother insisted that I do postgraduate studies and said that it would be better to read more." Chu Ci said, "What is good, my brother pays 20,000 yuan for the school selection fee. I'm sorry, if I had worked two years earlier, I would have sent him to a key junior high school."
Yan Xun didn't know what to answer, and after a while he said, "That's really difficult."
"It's okay, there is a research institute that asked me to prepare for an interview, and it will get better and better in the future."
Yan Yan nodded, and Chu Ci glanced at the time: "That won't delay your work, I'll go first."
"—Wait!"
Yan Yan stopped him, thought about it, beckoned to call an intern police officer, took out the car key and threw it over: "Go downstairs and drive out my car, and I'll take the victim to the train station later, the team has public funds. Please come back after dinner and invoice."
Just as Chu Ci was about to resign, she saw that the police intern was overjoyed as if she had won the grand prize: "Oh, brother Yan, I have long wanted to drive your car, you are really my brother!—" The voice had not yet fallen, and he had already gone all the way. .
"Come back early after delivery! You bastard!" Yan Yan shouted at his back, then shook his head helplessly: "I guess I won't be able to come back until the oil runs out. I'll take you downstairs if you get a top student. "
In the middle of May, the summer mood was getting stronger, and cicadas sounded intermittently in the shade of the trees downstairs of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. .
Yan Yan took Chu Ci to the steps of the gate and said, "Then you have a good interview, try to pass it once, and report good news when you find a job."
Chu Ci responded solemnly.
Students who have not graduated in their early twenties, even if they spend many years in the laboratory and develop a quiet and quiet temperament, their brows and eyes will not completely fade away from the detachment and expression of young people. Yan Yan waved his arms to observe him for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, and glanced around: "Hey, top student."
"Hey?"
"I'm a little curious about something. You're about to leave, so I'll ask one more question. How much do you know about the molecular formula of the new fentanyl compound?"
"You want to ask me if I can make it."
Yan Yan: "Oh, you are so direct and hurt feelings..."
"It's not necessarily possible, maybe you can do more research." Chu Ci said, "But I won't, don't worry."
"That's a lot of money—" Yan Yan dragged his tone long, half-smiling, "You've worked so hard to save money, and others spend a lot of money, is it fair?"
Standing on the steps of the main entrance of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Chu Ci turned her back to the police badge hanging on the roof in the distance, and seemed to be lost in thought. After a long time, he seemed to have figured out something, shook his head and said, "It's really unfair. But there is nothing absolutely fair in this world."
Yan Yan didn't say a word.
"When the walking notice came out, the whole school was a sensation, and other grades came to block the door of our classroom. I put the book upright in my seat to cover my face, and my deskmate said, Chu Ci, life is really unfair. I study harder than you, so why can't I get into a university in Beijing?"
"Look, if even I feel that the world is unfair, what will those people who are even more hopeless and have no way out than me think? At least I can pass the test with my own strength and bring a better life to my family. That satisfaction is no less than the happiness that rich people get when they spend a lot of money.”
Chu Ci looked up at Jianning Xia Tian's blue sky, with a slightly contented expression, and immediately turned to Yan Yan and said with a smile: "So it's good for me to be poor and down-to-earth, those money stained with human blood violate the law. I'll forget about the beheading."
He smiled and waved his hands, free and easy and hearty, strode down the steps, and walked towards the city bureau gate with the sun behind his back.
Behind him, Yan Yan opened the cloud smoke, lit one, took a breath, and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
He suddenly remembered that he had called Jiang Ting two days ago to ask for his opinion, and asked if he wanted to tell Chu Ci the motive of Ding Dang's murder. Jiang Ting told him to follow the procedure, not to do extra things, and not to omit any necessary steps for handling the case.
Forget it, Yan Yan thought, it's not easy for others to learn.
- Besides, he didn't even ask, maybe, there was no need to bother to tell him again.
"It's pretty good," Yan Yan muttered to himself, flicking the soot, took out his mobile phone, turned around and walked towards the city bureau building.
"Hey, Jiang Jinghua? It's okay, have you had your third bowl of chicken soup? I'll tell you that Xueba came to deliver food today, and I'll drop by to bring you two pounds of cherries tonight..."
The sky for thousands of miles is as clear as blue, and the summer wind swept over the high-rise buildings, crossed the shoulder-to-shoulders commercial street, and whirled through the traffic and pedestrians.
Over the prosperous Jianning City, the clouds gradually gathered, and the sun was hot and bright, reflecting on the silent silver police badge at the top of the Municipal Public Security Bureau Building.
