Jianning Municipal Bureau.
"She said the police couldn't catch me, so she jumped off. I had been trying to prevent her from looking for a shortcoming, so I jumped up and grabbed my arm, but she dragged me into the river instead, how could I be caught by a little girl like her? She moved, and when she saw that she fell into the river, she could only follow and jump into the water to carry out rescue…”
Several provincial and departmental experts sat behind a long table, each with a pen and paper and a teacup in front of them. The faces of the leaders with different expressions were hazy in the incense smoke.
"Rescue?" Wei Yao, as the person directly in charge, sat in the middle of the long table, facing Yan Yan, and said coldly: "From the time the suspect fell into the water to the arrival of the searchers, you lost contact for more than an hour. , How long does the rescue take?"
In the back chair in the center of the room, Yan Yan was rarely wearing a light blue shirt, his full police uniform was as crisp as new, with the three-pointed star flower of the third-level police inspector on his shoulders, and the bright police badge stencil on his belt. In sharp contrast, his face has not been shaved for a few days. Although he is sitting upright, his expression is obviously not so respectful and serious, and even a little indifferent.
"I've said Wei Ju many times, but it really takes so long. Do you know how fast the Sanli River is? People who are used to swimming in the wild may not dare to go. In addition, the undercurrent conditions are complicated, the river terrain is tortuous, and the rescued I don't cooperate, the water temperature is so low at night, do you really think I'm going to the swimming pool to swim back and forth for fifty meters and then go ashore easily?"
Deputy Director Wei slammed the tea jar: "You little—"
Provincial experts: "cough!"
"Bunny." Wei Yao gently and amiably received the last few words, gritted his teeth and said, "Then why didn't you report to the command center immediately when you found Bu Wei by the embankment? Why didn't you apply for support by radio before going into the water? "
"I'm really too late, leader!" Yan Yan said with sincerity on his face: "Bu Wei was very emotional when she was discovered, so I can only stabilize her as soon as possible. If I report to the command center, I may not even know the case. I didn't even know how to explain it, so I jumped right away. Then I saw her jump into the river, and she hurriedly took off her pants and shoes to go into the water to rescue. I really didn't have time to go back to the car to get the walkie-talkie... In the end, it was my fault, I was too casual and panicked. , willing to accept the organization's education and punishment."
Deputy Bureau Wei said angrily: "What's the use of educating you now! I said earlier that one person is not allowed to handle a case alone, and no one person is allowed to handle a case alone! You can count how many regulations you violated in this case, and you can still educate yourself. are you coming?!"
Another expert from the provincial department spoke up and said, "Hey, old Wei, don't start a fire. The rules are correct, but we all know what the front-line case handling is actually like..."
Yan Yan leaned on the back of the chair in a relaxed manner, and quickly and secretly grimaced at Deputy Bureau Wei when several provincial and ministerial leaders bowed their heads or looked away.
"You!" Deputy Director Wei was almost stunned by this daring little bastard.
"I know I know," Yan Yan immediately followed up with kindness: "I violated the discipline and violated the rules. I am willing to accept all investigations and punishments, ah."
Wei Yao took a deep breath and continued to sing blackface. Suddenly the door was opened, and Lu Ju and another gray-haired old leader walked in with a large tea jar of wolfberry.
"Liu Ting is here," several provincial experts stood up in awe: "Liu Ting!"
"Hey Liu Hall!..."
If there were people who were still muttering in their hearts just now, they are really convinced now - no wonder the old man surnamed Wei from the Jianning Municipal Bureau made a lot of thunder and rain. Not to mention. It’s good to be able to reincarnate. The only son of the richest family can invite Liu Ting from the provincial party committee in person if he violates any discipline…
"Go back and say, go back and say, go for a drink with you some other day." Director Lu smiled and sent several experts to the door, and gestured to Deputy Director Wei with his eyes to see them off, and then closed the door.
With a click, only Yan Yan, Liu Ting and himself were left in the small conference room.
"Let's talk." Lu Ju turned back slowly, and said, "Your father told Liu Ting that you have written a 4D test at home these two days. You are meticulous, and you have memorized it. Come on, let us listen to the back of the book."
Yan Yan didn't dare to lean back lazily in the chair, and got up quickly: "Liu Ting, Lu Bureau. I'm really sorry, I ignored the organizational discipline and various regulations when I was handling the case. The discipline study is not in place…”
"Yes, yes, yes. This is on my back." Liu Ting smiled wryly and waved his hand to stop him: "Xiao Yan, you are young, but you are also a criminal policeman who has handled cases for more than ten years. How can you commit such a basic crime? mistakes?"
Yan Yan smiled and did not mention it.
"Fortunately, this case has not been announced to the public, and Bu Wei has no family members. Otherwise, if minors participate in kidnapping and jump into the river in fear of crime, and there is no law enforcement recorder, the public opinion on this matter is not easy to control. If it encounters a more difficult situation, Being guided to the point that the criminal suspect is an underage girl and Yan Yan is a single male police officer who dispatches the police alone - hey," Liu Ting pointed at Director Lu and pointed his finger twice in the air: "That's all right. people!"
Bureau Lv immediately pointed at Yan Yan and gave two unceremonious nods—Liu Ting couldn't scold Yan Yan directly, so he could only transfer through Bureau Lu. The three formed a perfect rock-paper-scissors relationship.
"Fortunately, we have a complete chain of evidence." Director Lu said, "Fan Wu and his accomplices confessed two criminal facts: one is that he was hired by Wang Xingye to kill the victim Li Yuxin; , knowing that his elder brother Fan Zhengyuan hides 250,000 cash paid by the employer in his house, so he took the risk and came back to steal it, only to be caught by Yan Yan and the others. In addition, Bu Wei's fingerprints and handwriting were extracted from the bag of cash in Fan Zhengyuan's house. The appraisal is also completely correct, which can corroborate Fan Wu's confession that Fan Zhengyuan was hired to kill..."
"Lao Lu is very stretched in his work." Liu Ting nodded while listening, and praised: "Even if this file is sent to the procuratorate, they can't talk about it."
Bureau Lu waved his hands again and again.
"But there's one more thing I don't understand," Liu Ting frowned thoughtfully. "You said that the little girl gave Fan Zhengyuan 250,000 yuan. Who is she trying to assassinate?"
Yan Yan suddenly raised his eyes.
Sure enough, Bureau Lu also nodded solemnly: "It's hard to say. Among Fan Zhengyuan's series of crimes, we really have it in our hands. Only he attacked Yan Yan with a gun, and was then strangled to death. On the highway. But it seems far-fetched to conclude that Bu Wei or Wang Xingye ordered him to assassinate Yan Yan based on this.”
- Of course it wasn't the assassination of Yan Yan.
Bu Wei is jealous that the murderer is Jiang Ting.
Yan Xun's face was written with the humility and sensible unique to the younger generation. In fact, the palm of his hand was already sweating, but Liu Ting also touched his chin and agreed: "It's really far-fetched, especially when he was silenced... Xiao Yan! It's not that I believe in your father's character, everyone can think that it was your father who killed Fan Zhengyuan, and it's quite neat hahaha—"
Yan Yan: "…"
Liu Ting probably also realized that this one-liner was not funny, and touched his nose a little embarrassedly: "So, Lao Lu. This matter still has to start from the connection between Fan Zhengyuan and Wang Xingye, and trace Wang Xingye as the drug demolitionist. Online. We have reason to believe that Wang Xingye has close ties with a drug trafficking group that was active at the border in the early years. When we go back, let's write a plan and report it to the Ministry, and try to set up a special task force to follow the clues further. "
Bureau Lu thought it was true, and responded again and again.
The two of them exchanged each other's words with each other, Yan Yan's eyes quickly swept over the two old leaders, one chubby and the other thin, and raised his hand with a cough: "That - I will take care of the task force. I can do it. I will write a detailed plan when I go back tonight and ask the leaders to approve it. I can still…”
"You?" Liu Ting looked at him and laughed: "Do you know what level this cross-border drug trafficking organization is?"
Yan Yan rubbed his hands.
"This is not an ordinary cross-border drug lord. The new fentanyl compounds seized in your last case have not only spread across the southwestern border of my country and Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar and Vietnam, but even the United States and Mexico have reported relevant cases. Even if established The task force is here to handle this matter, and it is also a serious case under the supervision of the Ministry of Public Security." Liu Ting patted Yan Yan's shoulder and said with a smile: "As for your words, honestly write me an inspection and hand it over to the hall. , it's time to report criticism and report criticism, it's time to suspend review and suspend review - no matter what, the process has to go, your dad said, resolutely cooperate with the organization's handling opinions, and give you a month's leave to go home with... go on a blind date."
Yan Yan said stunned: "Suspended for one month for review?"
Lu Ju smiled and gestured to him.
"No, the body of our detachment, as well as Deputy Director Wei, are also getting older—"
"Old Wei has no opinion, Lao Yu can postpone the time of retiring from illness." Lu Bureau said kindly, "Go home to check and reflect on breeding, and see if you dare to violate discipline next time."
Yan Yan: "…"
"Oh, that's right," Bureau Lu seemed to suddenly remember something: "The audit and verification of the warehouse for contraband to be destroyed is halfway through. If you have nothing to do, take the time to help them move the boxes, so as not to waste them in vain. A lot of strength."
"Hey but I..."
Before Yan Yan's argument was over, Liu Ting waved his hand: "Well, that's it!"
Suspension review is a new thing in Yan Xun's career as a criminal police officer. Even five years ago, when he and the city bureau were at odds with the issue of personal second-class merit, he never suffered such a punishment.
For no other reason, there is no criminal investigation.
There is a shortage of people everywhere these days. Forensic doctors with a little bit of skill in the forensic department have to travel every three days to give lectures, and fewer and fewer medical students graduate every year. The technical investigators need qualifications and diplomas, but there are only so many technical criminals who can pass the test every year. people. To outsiders who don’t understand the situation, criminal investigation should be a less hungry post, but in fact, the grassroots police rotate criminal investigation outlets, and they also rotate police stations and sub-bureaus, and they can’t get to the city bureau. In addition, the heart of the team has been deteriorating for the past two years, and all the work inside and outside is Yan Xun's grasp, and he is the only one who can still preside over the work under Wei's deputy bureau.
When a person reaches middle age, the ground is full of wobbles, and he has to support the elderly and take care of the younger ones.
"Okay," he said, "I think it's a holiday."
Yan Yan grabbed the police uniform jacket with one hand and draped it over his shoulders, and rolled the left and right cuffs to his elbows at will, revealing his tight forearm muscles and watch, and with the other hand he took out his sunglasses and put on his handsome face. Everywhere he went, he looked like a BGM from an American crime movie, swept down from the steps of the city bureau gate like a tornado, and slammed the car door shut.
The G65 started with a roar, and merged into the evening rush hour traffic.
Click - the fingerprint door lock of the high-end apartment opens automatically.
"If you don't eat Western food, what kind of Western food are you going to eat? Ask a chef to come over and order two bowls of beef brisket noodles. You want fresh and good beef brisket with moderate fat and thin, and put more coriander; the tender dried bamboo shoots marinated by your chef last time are good, and they are cool and refreshing. I picked up four dishes of side dishes that weren’t too spicy…”
Yan Yan hung his coat on the hanger at the entrance, and turned around while talking to the phone, suddenly stunned.
There are bowls and chopsticks on the dining table in the restaurant, a plate of fresh green garlic fried lettuce, and a bowl of steaming stewed beef brisket with potatoes, the air is filled with a warm fragrance. From the kitchen, there was the sound of the range hood and the gurgling of boiling water, which was lively and kind, as if he was about to put noodles into the pot.
"Young master? Hello?" the restaurant manager on the opposite side shouted on the phone, "Do you want anything else, have I finished remembering this?"
"...No, I don't need anything." Yan Yan murmured like a sleepwalker: "Your sister-in-law is cooking today."
Yan Yan hung up the phone and looked into the kitchen.
Jiang Ting was wearing a household long-sleeved T-shirt, cotton trousers and slippers, and stood in front of the stove with his side facing him, holding a handful of vermicelli in his hand, just about to put it into the pot.
"Come back? Wash your hands and prepare to eat." Jiang Ting said without raising his head, "Eat tomato and egg noodles tonight."
Yan Yan has lived for more than 30 years, and for the first time, he has the feeling of a newly married Yan Er's man coming home from get off work for dinner at night. He pinched himself, but he didn't feel the pain, and for a few seconds he was almost certain that he was dreaming.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Ting raised his head, looked him up and down with some surprise, and then realized that Yan Yan was wearing a police uniform today. He couldn't help but fix his eyes for two seconds, then smiled slightly, and lowered his head to look at the pot again.
Yan Yun asked in a terrifying manner: "...What are you laughing at?"
"nothing."
"No, you laughed just now, what are you laughing at?"
Jiang Tang cut off the noodles with chopsticks: "I told you nothing."
"You are obviously looking at me..."
"Take the bowls and chopsticks," Jiang Ting scolded, "don't think you can just sit there and eat without doing anything."
Yan Xun said "yo" and said angrily, "It's pretty good at calling people." Then she put down her bag, changed her clothes and shoes, got into the kitchen, took the bowls, chopsticks and spoons from the disinfection cabinet, put it behind Jiang Ting's ear and whispered: " It's useless if you don't admit it, I know you're laughing just because I'm handsome... um!"
Jiang Ting took an egg from the pot and stuffed it into his mouth: "Eat your meal."
Tomato egg noodles, first make a cross with fresh tomatoes, boil them in water until soft, remove the skins in cold water, and stir fry with a little oil to make a thick sauce; half-boiled eggs are poured in and fry together, the fresh and tender egg pieces are full Tomato sauce, put a little salt, sugar, chicken essence, then add water below, season with chopped shallots and coriander, and finally pour a few drops of sesame oil.
Bright red tomatoes, bright yellow egg cubes, green onion and coriander, and finally a bowl of noodles with bright color and delicious taste.
Yan Yan ate a meal like a cloud in the wind. He snorted a large bowl of noodles with the fat and tender beef brisket. It was so delicious that he didn't even have time to say a word. He got up and went to the kitchen to refill a full bowl. "It's worth it."
"What's it worth?" Jiang Ting asked as he drank the soup.
"The whole system will report criticism and be suspended for one month." Yan Yan swayed his index finger in the air and pointed to the sea bowl in front of him: "It's all in this side."
Jiang Ting laughed, gave him a chopstick of beef brisket, and asked, "Do you regret it?"
Jiang Ting has deep eye sockets, long eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips. From his appearance, he is a bit inhumane. Many people have the impression of him as a rational professional, but a cold criminal investigation expert. So when he was wearing home clothes, sitting in the sweltering heat of the food, and his hair was freshly washed and blow-dried, the huge contrast created an indescribable charm.
Yan Yan stared at Jiang Zing without blinking, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever gained any benefits in your life because of your beauty?"
"No, what are you thinking about all day?"
Yan Yan ate the piece of beef and smiled: "Then you have it now."
Yan Yan left home after work and lived alone. The reason why he is still alive and well is due to his iron-like stomach. Of course, the hard work of the door-to-door cook and cleaning aunt also contributed.
However, according to Jiang Ting's intention, only two people had a light meal at home and used three bowls of melons and jujubes, so there was no need to trouble the cleaners to come to wash them, and it would be annoying to pile them up in the pool overnight. Therefore, First Class Inspector Jiang personally took the greasy dishes to the kitchen for cleaning. Yan Yan took the dishcloth in a proper manner and stood beside him. After washing one, he took over and wiped the other, and put them in the disinfection cabinet. Tidy up well.
At this time, it was already dark outside, the light was on in the kitchen, and the two stood side by side, only to hear the lively TV in the living room, and I didn't know what variety show was on, and there was only the sound of running water in the space in front of them.
"Why do you cook so deliciously," Yan Yan whispered into Jiang Ting's ear, "Have you ever learned it before, and are you planning to cook it for someone? Huh?"
Jiang Ting ducked to the side: "I live alone, don't learn to cook, why don't I eat takeout every day?"
"Then who else has eaten it besides me?"
"No, just you."
Yan Yan narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "Really?"
"really."
"You lie to me."
"You man," Jiang Ting said after washing a large hand-painted porcelain bowl with a random four-digit number, and forcibly shoved it into Yan Xun: "If you tell a lie, you will be angry, but if you tell the truth, you will suspect that it is a fake..."
Yan Yan took the opportunity to grab his hand: "Don't move, the water has splashed on your sleeves, come and let me wipe it well."
"Don't wipe, let go and beat the bowl carefully..."
"Wipe it, wipe it, it's nothing."
The water was still running, and half-washed chopsticks were scattered in the sink. Jiang Ting forcibly pulled out his hand, but Yan Xun refused to let it go like a starving wolf. Jiang Ting's right cuff came off halfway as he pulled, and out of the corner of Yan Xun's eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of an indistinct scar on the inside of his wrist.
If it is a wrist cut, the wounds should be parallel or criss-crossed, and there will be no such clear bite marks.
Yan Yan's brows twitched violently, but she didn't show anything on her face.
Jiang Ting didn't notice his expression, he pulled his hand back while taking advantage of the gap, and also took the large porcelain bowl and put it into the disinfection cabinet. His cheeks were slightly reddish, and he said coldly, "You almost beat the bowl just now. It's gone!"
With his back to the pool, he didn't see Yan Yan's deep and uncertain expression. The next second, he felt that his waist was suddenly tightened. Then Yan Yan, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, was forcibly stuck behind his back, pushing him against the glass door of the disinfection cabinet. superior.
"you… "
"Shh, shh," Yan Yan whispered, biting the tip of his ear, "let me push it twice, shh."
Jiang Ting suddenly exerted force, and before he had time to break free, he was pressed and pushed a few times by Yan Yan. The creaking sound of the vertical disinfection cabinet, which is taller than a human being, was so clear that even the sound of the TV in the living room could not be covered up. Jiang Ting's ear was red and hot, and he could not pronounce a word. He grabbed his hand and twisted it behind him.
"Yan... Yan Yan!"
Jiang Ting's voice, which had always been gentle and restrained, suddenly changed in tone at the final sound, and he wanted to break free, but his wrist was clasped even tighter. During the struggle, the dishes stacked in the cupboard slipped with a clatter, and the sound was crisp and deafening. Jiang Ting took the opportunity to turn around in the small space, frowning angrily, "Yan Yu!"
Yan Yan: "Kiss one kiss one..."
Jiang Ting managed to switch sides, and before he could push Yan Yan's hand away, he was pressed against the glass door again.
"...I said you tonight..." Jiang Ting finally made a hoarse and annoyed voice after a long while, but unfortunately the over-emphasized annoyance failed to cover up his flushed cheeks: "...Did you take the wrong medicine?"
The light came from behind Yan Yan. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Jiang Ting's lips, which were especially red from the kiss. He suddenly said in a low voice, "My parents are coming to visit tomorrow."
Jiang Ting was stunned for a moment, and an indescribable and not very good premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
The two stared at each other quietly for a moment, and the atmosphere that was even more subtle and ambiguous than kissing suddenly leaked out for no reason. The variety show on the outside TV had no idea what part of the show, and the deliberate applause and laughter became extra abrupt and embarrassing.
"Yan Yan," Jiang Ting abruptly turned his eyes away and said calmly, "Do you want to think more about it..."
"I said what are you thinking!" Yan Yan suddenly let go of him, turned and walked towards the pool while laughing: "My parents are here because the day after tomorrow is my birthday, hahaha—"
Jiang Ting was really stunned, only to see Yan Yan laughing and grabbing the chopsticks and rinsing them under the tap with a teasing look on his face.
"..." Jiang Ting reacted and couldn't help crying and laughing, and pointed at Yan Xun twice with his hand.
"Don't worry, I have already said hello to them. I just said that a friend from the police academy had just been transferred to Jianning for a job, and the dormitory was not ready, so he stayed for a few days. They were usually busy with work, so they came over for lunch and left. It's not what you imagined." Yan Yan raised his eyebrows playfully, and deliberately looked up and down Jiang Ting: "Look at your nervous expectation, tsk tsk tsk - I can't wait to see my in-laws get a change fee?"
Jiang Ting hummed, "I think it's my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Then he picked up the dishcloth, threw it to Yan Yan, and threw his hands back to the bedroom.
Yan Yan watched his figure disappear into the guest bedroom door, rubbing chopsticks in his hands, the smile on his face did not disappear, but the expression in his eyes sank one by one until it was as cold as a deep pool.
After a long while, he finally turned off the water faucet, stood up straight, didn't know what he was thinking, and his bushy eyebrows were tightly locked.
