"Director Cheng, when the meeting starts, you will sit in the guest seat, and the camera will be in position two..."
The person in charge of the column of the first program of the city TV station said, waving his hand, "Xiao Zhang, where is Xiao Zhang? Bring your things over! Come, Director Cheng, these are the fifteen questions we will ask you when the talk show starts. Take a look first, if there is anything you want to change, or if there are any confidential issues that need to be avoided, please raise them."
Cheng Bin, dressed in a neat uniform, sat down on a sofa outside the TV studio and looked at the paper the TV station had given him. Gu Xiaojun asked, "I heard that Cheng Ran did very well in the exam this time?"
Cheng Bin raised his head, squinted, and nodded, "Ah, 706, this score is very high, right?"
"Of course it's higher. Deputy Director Li's beloved daughter, who he always talks about, only scored 683. I remember Cheng Ran's grades were not that good... How come he did so well this time? As his uncle, why don't you give him a good reward?"
"It's his own business if he does well in the exam. What kind of reward should I give him?" Cheng Bin glared at him. "But our Cheng family has good genes!"
"Are you so stingy?" Gu Xiaojun said angrily, "Then how many points did you get? You are a college student after all."
"I'm not sure how many points I got. I remember the college entrance examination, in that era, it seemed to be around 580... That's right, not counting Cheng Ran's father, I was the only one in the Cheng family who was admitted to university through the unified entrance examination!"
"So this kid did better than you in the exam?"
"I said my results are from the college entrance examination, the college entrance examination, can you compare me with the high school entrance examination?"
"My score ratio in the high school entrance exam is also higher than yours..."
"Gu Xiaojun, you are so desperate, you want to be beaten, right?"
Gu Xiaojun smiled and said, "By the way, you should tell Xie Houming about Cheng Ran's matter?"
Cheng Bin nodded, "This matter cannot be hidden... Even if Xie Houming doesn't go through me, he will still know about Cheng Ran. Just say it... Let them handle it themselves..."
The director of Shanhai TV station came over accompanied by a group of people. Cheng Bin and Gu Xiaojun stood up and straightened their clothes. When they met, they extended their hands to shake hands...
…
…
The radio was broadcasting a legal talk show on Shanhai TV. The female host of the show spoke in a clear and melodious voice, "This kidnapping case shocked the whole province. Our city's public security officers dispatched more than a thousand people to hunt down the gang of criminals... What difficulties did they encounter in the process of tracking down the criminals? How did our public security officers overcome them one by one and arrest the vicious criminals? Today we have invited two special guests... They are the winners of the second-class individual merit, Comrade Cheng Bin, Deputy Director of the Shanhai Municipal Public Security Bureau, and Comrade Gu Xiaojun of our Criminal Investigation Brigade. They will tell us about the thrilling process of killing the main culprit..."
The June 2nd case was later made public to the society. After the first few newspapers cooperated in publishing the notice, shock and uproar quickly spread throughout the society.
People talked about it at work, at home, and on the streets. They were horrified by the evil deeds committed by those vicious criminals. Just putting yourself in that situation would make you feel horrified...
Although there are still many major cases in this era, for the city of Shanhai, those are just stories that happened elsewhere. People in this slow-paced city listen to those social rumors and just use them as topics of conversation after dinner... However, when such a major incident really happened in their own city this summer, people still feel a lingering fear, and looking at the peaceful and tranquil scenery before them, they have a deeper understanding.
Cheng Bin, the deputy director of the Shanhai City Public Security Bureau who killed the chief criminal, has become a household name. It is said that there is a documentary project team from the Ministry of Public Security who will come to include this great victory in the documentary of major cases. The name Cheng Bin will probably be known to more people...
There is no such thing as a peaceful life, it's just that someone is carrying the burden for you.
The vehicle was driving on the road, and the light from outside the window came in alternately. Xie Houming sat in the back seat, next to him were his silent son and his wife. In the front seat was the new driver arranged by the unit, named Lao Chen, a veteran truck driver on the Sichuan-Tibet line. The co-pilot seat was occupied by Lao Xu, the chief of the security department. Lao Xu had a gun license on him. After the last incident, Xie Houming's security was upgraded a lot when he traveled now.
Listening to the radio, the driver Lao Chen was about to switch, but Xie Houming raised his hand and shook it to stop him.
More than ten days had passed since the incident. When he first returned home, his eyes were bulging and he huddled in bed with a quilt wrapped around him. His face was still covered with bruises and blood scabs. He was afraid of the dark and kept the lights on at night. He couldn't sleep all night and was shaking all over. Sometimes, when he reached his limit and couldn't bear it any longer, he had to close his eyes. As soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to feel the punches and kicks, the fear of death following him like a shadow, and he would wake up in a sweat.
His son Xie Feibai's temperament has also changed. He is well-behaved every day. Sometimes I can see him with red eyes as he stays by her side.
Very useless, right?... I am very useless. In my son's eyes, I used to be so tall and majestic, and I used to talk about moral principles every day, but now I am huddled in a corner wrapped in a quilt. My former dignity has been swept away and I am like a waste!
Xie Houming thought to himself that he was a very resolute person. He used to be in charge of major investment projects in Shanhai City and issued orders. Even the mayor had to be humble and consult with him... But only after experiencing that kind of despair and absolute evil did he understand how terrible things exist in this world...
After continuous counseling from a psychologist, and unable to bear seeing his wife and son in tears every day, a certain fortitude within Xie Houming broke out again, and he was finally able to stand up again and engage in proper activities and go out every day.
After that nightmare, Xie Houming gradually regained his spirits. He found Liu Zhiguo's previous files and saw the crimes committed by this gang. Some were photos of the incinerator, with black and white human bone fragments in the furnace, and before that, they were all living lives!
There is also a photo of a victim who was locked in a cage and sunk. Because of the long time, the body had been severely saponified after it was salvaged. Such a big person shrank like a baby and could not be seen in human form at all...
The fear felt like thousands of needles piercing the back of his head and spine.
If it weren't for that young man... He would probably be like this. His wife, son, and family... What he saw many years later was also the same picture...
The vehicle entered the yard and stopped in front of a building.
Old Xu from the security department turned around and said, "Boss Xie, we're here."
Xie Houming looked up and saw the light box of Huatong Company reflected on the car window. He looked at a house over there, where warm light was coming from.
For him, it was like a ship in a storm, amidst the waves of despair, seeing…
Lighthouse torch.
