three months later...
The myths and jokes at the criminal investigation conference have lost their popularity. After all, he is in a remote area, too far away from the city. At this time, the Jinsong Road No. 2 team was disrupted by an unexpected news, which disrupted their routine life. The news was very unexpected: Zhang Meng was leaving.
He came almost without warning, and there were rumors in the team that this guy was next to a female local tyrant. Only Dong Shaojun knew what was going on, and he kept silent as if he had done something wrong.
This morning, when the second team was running, Shao Wange opened his eyes to the maximum, and stared at Zhang Meng standing in front of him without moving. Those eyes seemed to be questioning, doubting, and regretful, such complicated eyes made Zhang Meng dare not look directly as if he had done something wrong.
In order, he gently placed it on the table.
He took off the police badge, handcuffs, and armbands one by one slowly, as if each one was of great importance, and placed it in front of the captain with difficulty. Now he finally understood the feelings of those colleagues who were hesitant when they were about to leave. He felt as if the most precious things on his body were being stripped away in blood, and everything made him reluctant to part with him, and everything made him look at it for a long time.
Shao Wange felt a little regretful. In his eyes, Zhang Meng, who had joined the team for only one year and had participated in more than 30 arrest missions, was already a field expert who could play his own role. He prefers this vicious character, even if he has made a lot of mistakes, he knows that in time, such a person will become the strongest soldier in the police camp. But now that he was about to leave, a transfer order came from the Municipal Bureau almost without warning, and this general trained by the second team was about to be transferred to the Judicial Bureau.
He looked at Zhang Meng, and he knew that the resolute look in his eyes would turn indifferent in a short time, and it would not take long for him to change from an athletic team member to a potbellied little bureaucrat. It's just that all of this happened too quickly. Shao Wange heard that he had climbed into a good family, maybe this is the situation in life, one step to heaven, one step to hell. He really wanted to keep it, but after holding it in for a long time, he came up with a cold sentence:
"Have you figured it out? Really want to go."
Zhang Meng was stunned for a moment, and what flashed in front of his eyes was a beautiful dimple like a flower, and the secretly growing feelings made him feel disgusted with his past work for no reason. He was fed up with the bloody, vicious, and shameless criminals. So he stood up and said: "Think clearly, I have to go. Captain, please scold me, I am a deserter."
"He is indeed a deserter. Those who desert for women account for more than half of the second team." Shao Wange smiled inexplicably, and then said: "The police are human, so naturally there is no shortage of emotions, love, family affection, many emotions are in us An inescapable chain, but I was a little surprised, I didn't expect you to be the first to go."
"I'm sorry, captain, I..." Zhang Meng said awkwardly, he even saw the worried eyes of the captain, and his heart was almost shaken.
"I'm sorry. Everyone has the right to choose their own life. If you gain something, you must lose something. There is no choice that you will never regret. I hope it is your home with peace of mind." Shao Wange said softly, and signed his name with a pen. He gave it back to Zhang Meng and waved his hand. Zhang Meng was stunned for a long time, he didn't expect it to be so easy, he solemnly saluted the captain, then, holding the transfer order, wiped his face, and fled out.
"Zhang Meng, are you leaving?" Zhou Wenjuan was at the door of the office, as if waiting for him to come.
He hurried past, hid his face and fled.
"Zhang Meng, do you really want to leave?" The old partner Xiong Jianfei stood at the entrance of the corridor blocking his eyes with burning eyes. Zhang Meng wanted to escape, but was blocked several times. In a hurry, he forced Xiong Jianfei away, and ran downstairs, when Xiong Jianfei came from behind and shouted angrily: "Beast, you bastard, you have no eggs!" Coward."
"Zhang Meng..."
"Zhang Meng..."
"Zhang Meng..."
The voice echoed, they were all comrades who were once as close as brothers, and he had no face to turn his head back. He fled, he fled flustered, he fled red-faced. When he fled to the car that had been waiting for a long time at the entrance of the alley, and turned his head again, he saw the classmates and colleagues running out in the compound, looking at him so eagerly and regretfully.
At that moment, he suddenly thought of the years of sweating and scrambling together.
At that moment, he suddenly thought of this short year, back to back with these brothers, even if their lives were hanging by a hair, even if they were fighting to the death.
At that moment, his heart ached like a twist, and he covered his face and wept.
The car left, and the driver was a woman whom Dong Shaojun knew, a female village official from Yangtou Township, Li Jiayuan.
Land Rover, car number 8188.
…
This day is a midsummer day. Different cities, different people, different environments and moods are all interpreting different stories.
The second team lost another police officer. Xu Pingqiu sighed for a long time when he heard the news as usual. No matter how noble a cause is, it can't match daily necessities. Most of the lost team members are due to life problems of one kind or another. And the work pressure of the second team is indeed great. The police officers here may have more cases in a year than the police officers in the police station have seen in their lifetime. Everyone's contribution is huge. When leaving, no matter whether it was him, Miao Bureau, who was in charge of criminal investigation in the Municipal Bureau, or Shao Wange, the captain, they would not be demanding.
"Xu Chu, where are you going?" the driver asked, surprised to save Director Xu who was sitting in the car.
It's time to get off work, and he didn't say to go home, but he came on the Wuyi Road. Xu Pingqiu came to his senses and said, "Oh, it's here."
stop here? The driver was a little confused. This chief of criminal investigation, the captain of the province, sounds famous on the outside, but after staying for a long time, he found that he was often nervous. No, Xu Pingqiu simply stopped the car at the side of the road, got out of the car, and waved the driver away, apparently wanting to walk by himself.
As soon as the driver left, Xu Pingqiu patted his forehead, thinking about what he had just thought of just now, but he couldn't remember it. He smiled self-deprecatingly, and thought that perhaps he was really getting older. He remembered things many years ago very clearly, but he forgot what he just thought about. Could this be a sign of aging
By the way, Zhang Meng was responsible for the loss of members of the second team. He was not surprised that this kid had become a local rich man, but he was a little surprised that Wang Shaofeng, the director of the city bureau, personally called to arrange it. Of course, it is not difficult for this deputy department to go from public security to justice, but it seems strange to just pay attention to such a small police officer. He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he just stopped thinking about it, walked to the sidewalk, leaned against the outer wall of an unknown unit, lit a cigarette habitually, smoked, and waited for someone.
This is a habit he has had for many years in the police force. When he first became the captain of the criminal police, he was used to hiding in the dark and staring at suspects, including his own people. In this way, he selected many excellent players, because only when they are not deliberately artificial, can they reflect a person's true mentality.
By the way, he remembered that more than a year ago, he followed that group of bad boys who fought across schools overnight... He smiled. Who would have thought that among those bad boys, one of them would go to the whole province in a year? What about the people in the criminal investigation research forum? The lingering power of the cattle theft case has not yet ended, and many provinces have used the criminal investigation department to obtain detailed case studies from their own provinces to observe and study. Section Chief Shi Qinghuai, who leads the criminal psychology research of the provincial department, is compiling an example of criminal psychology after careful study. It is said that when I contacted the township police station several times, the "dedicated" director was not there, which made Chief Shi lament the hard work at the grassroots level.
This guy is definitely not professional, Xu Pingqiu is almost 100% sure. But the level and environment are too far apart, and he has no way to understand Yu Zui's world in the countryside. However, he believes that it should be very exciting, and maybe profitable, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy to leave.
Just as he was thinking, he saw today's goal, took a cigarette, and followed slowly.
"One two one, one two one, front and back alignment!"
"One two one, one two one, safety first!"
A few friendly Taiyuan dialects sounded so pleasant to the ear. An old man in the uniform of traffic management, holding a small flag, led a group of elementary school students out of the school. He walked in the front with great interest, shouting and looking back from time to time, and the children who were occasionally playing and playing, he hurriedly ran up and pulled away, protecting this special team all the way to the sidewalk, explaining the key points of crossing , Then waved the yellow flag and led the team across the road.
The long car queue stopped in front of the team, as if doing a solemn salute, and many people stuck their heads out of the car windows, saying hello to the team. After crossing the road, line up and wait for the parents to pick them up. Those elementary school students who are happily in the arms of their parents will not forget to wave their hands in admiration when they turn around and say:
"Goodbye, Grandpa Ma."
"Goodbye, Grandpa Police."
"Grandpa Ma, cross the road carefully."
"..."
Ma Qiulin cheerfully waved his hands and responded one by one until the last little girl was handed over to the parents. The parents who came late apologized to the teacher and the voluntary assistant. Ma Qiulin teased the girl with the small mouth pouting, and agreed to something, and the little girl hooked him, happy.
"Mr. Ma, are you still taking the bus to go back?" asked the head teacher, a young girl. The retired policeman has been working in the school for several months, and he has a much better reputation than the principal. The students in the sixth grade all like this funny policeman.
"Oh, I guess someone invited me to dinner today. You should go back first, Mr. Wu." Ma Qiulin said with a smile. With his eyes, he had already seen Xu Pingqiu hiding in the dark.
When the teacher said goodbye and left, he looked at Xu Pingqiu strangely. Xu Pingqiu came up with a smile, and called out to master. When he wanted to shake hands, Ma Qiulin put on airs and put his hands behind his back. Xu Pingqiu was surprised: "Hey, master, why are you so rude to me?"
"You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do. But let me tell you in advance, I have a very stable job now, if you want to poach me, there is no way." The old horse was proud, and said with his hands behind his back. Xu Pingqiu smiled and walked side by side with him, "Aren't you retired? What else do you have to do?"
"I like the job, not to mention walking a few kilometers a day, playing with the children, what kind of cerebral neurasthenia, and self-healing. I'm doing very well now, in fact, I should have come out long ago." Ma Qiulin said.
"No way, I called my wife and answered it, as if she didn't say that." Xu Pingqiu laughed.
"She thinks I'm full, hehe, I still think she can't take it easy, and she wants to stay in the post for two years, waiting for a salary adjustment... By the way, the demonstration primary school officially hired me as an extracurricular tutor, with a monthly salary of 600. Deaf The dumb school also issued a formal letter of appointment." Ma Qiulin said, as if the price was very proud, Xu Pingqiu poured cold water on it and said: "The gatekeepers have more than that much money, right?"
"That's right, I don't need to be a gatekeeper... Hey, what do you mean? Do you slander my work?" Ma Qiulin stared.
"No, no, I think you're old... you're overqualified, why don't I give you a job and get hired back, and the salary is the same as the current pension?" Xu Pingqiu said cautiously.
Ma Qiulin smiled, his face was full of wrinkles, Xu Pingqiu also smiled, his face was also full of wrinkles. The two have known each other for many years, and they both know that each other is someone who can be entrusted to the back, but it is definitely not the kind worth entrusting. Ma Qiulin smiled and pulled his face: "Come on, you only need to smile on this black face. Someone will be unlucky right away. If I earn more wages and lose more than ten years of life, I don’t think it’s worth it.”
"Master, look at what you said, is it time to become a police counselor? I think you are too humble for staying in elementary school?" Xu Pingqiu said with a smile.
"Wrong, living freely is more important than living beautifully. Don't you think that we have been a policeman for a lifetime, and we have been in contact with the dark side too much, and the sun is too little... So I made up my mind, I have to be in the sun more Stay here for a few years, it’s the best place, you don’t have to think about those intrigues, you don’t have to analyze those petty crimes. Besides, I really feel more fulfilled here than in the police camp.” Ma Qiulin said with a smile, but he said it seriously.
But Xu Pingqiu was very depressed when he heard it. An expert in the detection of theft cases had several ups and downs. Now that he has fallen to this point, he feels that it is enough for him to re-examine many abuses in the police camp, although he cannot reverse it.
"If I want to go back, you don't need to invite me to go back. But if you don't want to go back, don't worry about it, I am worthy of this pension." Ma Qiulin saw Xu Pingqiu startled, and he confessed, as if he was asking for resignation, It also seems to comfort.
Xu Pingqiu smiled awkwardly. This was the third time he came to invite him, and he still had a miscarriage. He said softly, "Mr. Ma, I don't mean anything else. There is no shortage of people now, but there is a shortage of talents everywhere. Many colleges train Talents who come out are more and more inclined to rely solely on modern technology. From the perspective of criminal psychology, arrest is the lowest level, evidence is the middle level, and heart is the highest level. If you can do this, you are The first person in Taiyuan... I really can't bear to see that we have no successors in this field."
"Wrong, there will be a lot of people." Ma Qiulin said, seemingly no longer entangled with this, he smiled and looked at the sad Xu Pingqiu, and persuaded: "You are as entangled as I was when I was lying on the hospital bed. Sometimes I think about my family, my career, my dedication, and my rewards. Many of them are unequal. Many choices with gains and losses always feel that I can do better. Even speaking selfishly, I feel that I Should go higher... In this kind of entanglement, do you think a person's state of mind will be good?"
"Then how did you get out of this predicament?" Xu Pingqiu said, as if he had a clear understanding.
"Let go." Ma Qiulin said.
"Let go?" Xu Pingqiu was taken aback.
"Yes, for example, do you still remember my teacher Wang Guixiang?"
"The one who retired and went back to the countryside in seclusion?"
"Yes, it has been seven or eight years since he passed away. He taught a class called the spirit of cleanliness. The spirit of cleanliness he said is chivalrous, passionate, helping the poor, helping the poor, punishing evil, promoting good, etc. Comprehensive. He said that this kind of spirit is always dormant in an unknown place in everyone's heart. When the current situation is in crisis, when life is on the line, this kind of spirit will appear and dominate an ordinary person. , let him do incredible things, so...there are heroes in this world."
Xu Pingqiu looked reverent, he turned a deaf ear to the noise around him, he listened awe-inspiringly.
A trace of solemnity flashed across Ma Qiulin's relieved face, and he continued: "No matter how bad the world is, no matter how sinister people's hearts are, this clean spirit is always dormant quietly, waiting, and appearing when it is most needed. So there are many people who stand up in the face of danger and are desperate in the face of crisis, so there is my colleague, Wang Xiang, who was stabbed seven times for catching a thief and died in the line of duty; so there is yours Brother, Shao Bingshan, jumped off the building with explosives and died in the line of duty. So there are thousands of policemen who are desperate and dedicated to the peace of the world... This spirit of cleanliness has always been in the hearts of our policemen and has never disappeared But even a corrupt, depraved policeman has been infected by this cleanliness."
"So, your worries are unnecessary." Ma Qiulin smiled, patted Xu Pingqiu on the shoulder in relief and said, "The contest between black and white, good and evil, will escalate in the contest. The reason why you can't get out of this State of mind, it is because you have too many scruples, family, position, face, and your prestige, all aspects must be taken into consideration, with so many foreign things, no matter how clean the heart is, the spirit will be covered with a layer of dust. "
"I understand. I'm far from being a police officer." Xu Pingqiu said softly.
"It's not far away. What you have been trying to find is not an expert like me, but a clean spirit. I think you will find it when you let go of the fetters in your heart and the prejudice in your eyes." Ma Qiulin said with a smile , turned around, and strolled slowly.
In an instant, Xu Pingqiu knew where he was wrong. The previous search was very pure, so he was able to succeed repeatedly, which is why he achieved his reputation as a detective who does not participate in the case or handle the case. But now I have too many scruples, and instead I have stagnated in many things. Having figured this out, he excitedly followed Ma Qiulin's footsteps, and said straight: "Thank you for the reminder, master. Hey, it's noon, why don't you have a meal?"
"There will be no side effects?" Ma Qiulin asked with a smile.
"Continue to listen to the dial. I really have something to ask you, Mr. Ma... The results of the previous stage of the crime-solving conference were very poor, and the enthusiasm of the grassroots has not been mobilized. Those with this spirit stand out," Xu Pingqiu said.
"The idea is very good. It should be added that there is no age limit, no limit to the type of police, and no limit to the region." Ma Qiulin said.
"Let ordinary policemen participate in criminal police affairs?" Xu Pingqiu was startled by this one.
Ma Qiulin turned his head back and asked with a smile: "Yes, but most of the criminal police under you may not be able to do the work of criminal police."
This is true, there are too many people waiting to die, Ma Qiulin and Xu Pingqiu looked at each other and smiled. Not long after, the two sat at a ramen stand by the side of the road, each with a bowl, mixed with vinegar and chilli, chatting while eating, it seemed that they had a very happy conversation...
