From that day on, Bu Chonghua disappeared completely like a bull in the sea.
The ministry sent out a furious document, and thoroughly investigated Jinhai City for nearly a month. They searched inside and out about all matters related to Bu Chonghua, and pulled out half of the Nancheng Detachment to review it, but couldn't find him. The slightest clue as to the whereabouts of the trail can only finally be combined with various sources to reluctantly come up with the speculation that he may have left North China.
In winter, lead-grey clouds hang over the city, and the police badge of the Nancheng Public Security Bureau stands on the top of the high-rise buildings, silently facing the busy streets and alternating day and night.
Where did Bu Chonghua go
What is he doing now
"Although Officer Wu has recovered, after all, he once suffered massive hemorrhage at the base of the skull, which may injure part of the nerves and leave sequelae in some respects. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain close observation in the future. If you find something wrong, please seek medical attention in time..."
"Yes, yes." Liao Gang listened and signed the discharge procedure, "Thank you doctor for your trouble."
During the peak hospitalization period in winter, the hospital is filled with the smell of disinfectant. Nursing workers either push wheelchairs or help the elderly to walk slowly through the corridors of the wards. Liao Gang went up the stairs to the special care single ward, and came to the closed ward at the end, knocking twice.
"Wu Yu?" He pushed open the door: "The car is downstairs, shall we go?"
Wu Yu stood in front of the window of the ward where he had lived for three months, with his back to Liao Gang, unable to see what his expression was. Hearing this, he turned around and picked up his jacket from the back of the chair.
"Let's go."
When Liao Gang saw him, he was slightly stunned.
Wu Yu's hair was cut very short, and he looked energetic because of his thinness, but his temperament was more solemn and silent. He wears a straight shirt with cuffs rolled up at his elbows, revealing his slender arms with obvious muscular lines; underneath are standard trousers and leather shoes. Because of the well-cutting, he finally shows his already long legs, which are not easy to walk when walking. No sound was made, but the tiny air around him was faintly chilling.
"What's wrong?" he said lightly when passing by.
"..." Liao Gang hurriedly retracted his gaze, with some complicated sourness and sadness in his heart: "It's nothing."
The two went downstairs one after the other. The car of the Nancheng Detachment was already waiting in front of the inpatient department building. The driver turned out to be Song Ping's secretary, Lao Ou. He was stunned when he saw Wu Yu, but didn't say much. He personally opened the rear door for him.
"Why did Deputy Liao come to pick me up in person today?"
Liao Gang got into the car from the other side of the back seat, slammed the door shut, and glanced at him hesitantly, "...Let's go back to the bureau first."
Wu Yu nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and closed his eyes slightly.
The car stopped at the entrance of the Nancheng Detachment. Liao Gang beckoned Wu Yu to go with him. The two did not go to the Criminal Investigation Detachment first, but went directly to the director's office under the leadership of Secretary Ou. Unexpectedly, it was very crowded today. Song Ping, Xu Zuxin, and several old leaders of the Organization Department were all sitting. It seemed that they had been waiting for a long time. They all stood up when Wu Yu and the others pushed the door open.
"What's wrong?" Wu Yu walked into the office, glanced around, and asked plainly, "Is there news of the Bu detachment?"
Song Ping stood at the front of the crowd. In less than a month, he looked like he was ten years older. A few strands of white hair appeared on his black temples. The crow's feet at the corners of his eyes fell heavily on the edge of his temples. With the corner of his mouth, he said slowly, "No."
Wu Yu stopped and said, "Then I'll go back first."
Song Ping knew that he had guessed what happened from the battle along the way, but he didn't give him a chance to leave. He stepped forward and held his back shoulder: "After research and decision by the Organization Department, you will be appointed to replace Bu Chong in the near future. Hua, is the new head of the criminal investigation detachment of Jinhai Nancheng Branch, and the documents will be sent to the Municipal Bureau in a few days."
"… "
Everyone looked at his tall, thin back and short black hair. After a while, Wu Yu finally turned around. In the hazy winter light, his face was sternly white, but his eyebrows and eyes were extremely dark.
"I thought that when the detachment leader was away, the deputy team should take the lead."
Song Ping said: "Liao Gang was promoted by Bu Chonghua's proposal, and the top does not trust him."
"Then don't trust me anymore."
"No one in the current establishment of the Nancheng Detachment can have the same crushing qualifications and merits as you, unless it is airborne from the outside." Song Ping asked in return: "You want to hand over the kidnapping case of you and Bu Chonghua to the newcomer from the outside. Airborne? Don't you want to find out who put you in the back room?"
Wu Yu did not speak.
Song Ping approached slightly and whispered in his ear, "Do you still want to find out the truth with your own hands? How did Peng Wan die in the closed room inside and outside?"
Wu Yu didn't speak at first, the police cars coming and going downstairs and the noise of people passing through the glass windows faintly shook the quiet air.
He once stood in front of the gray building of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, looking up at the heavy police badge and the dark blue uniform under the sky, and the invisible sword of Damocles above his head made him tremble. He put himself under the mask of cowardice, embarrassment, humbleness and humility, vigilantly observing everyone here day and night, turning around to escape at any time, and disappearing into the vast sea of people; In a year's time, the world has turned upside down, and the roles have changed in a blink of an eye. He also put on the same uniform, not only became a member here, but also became an existence followed and looked up by everyone.
Destiny always pushes him to a ridiculous and twisted road alone when separation comes, and there is no turning back.
Wu Yu finally took a deep breath, looked up and said, "One day you will regret choosing me."
"Then I hope that by that day, you have already captured Bu Chonghua." Song Ping picked up the police uniform from the back of the chair, put it on Wu Yu's shoulders, stared into his deep and sharp eyes, and whispered. Say:
"Welcome back, Captain Wu."
This may be the most absurd and tragic promotion in the history of the Nancheng District Criminal Investigation Detachment - no death, no red-headed document announcement period, no congratulations from old classmates, and no flowers, drinks, greetings and congratulations. When Wu Yu came out of the personnel office, he had already taken office. He pushed open the door of the large office of the Criminal Investigation Detachment. The busy people looked back at the door one after another, and stopped their movements one by one. Silence gradually enveloped most of the corridor. .
Meng Zhao, Cai Lin, Song Hui, Zhang Xiaoy, the economic investigator Cao who came downstairs to get the report, Wang Jiuling and Xiaogui forensic doctor who stopped at the stairway in the distance... Familiar figures stand or sit, some with hands They were holding documents, and some were holding phones. No one said a word, no one moved, all eyes were locked on Wu Yu's silhouette in police uniform, as if waiting for something.
Wu Yu patted Liao Gang behind him with his backhand and asked him to step into the large office with him, then raised his head and looked at the faces with different expressions in front of him:
"There's something I want to tell you today."
"I want to stand here and re-introduce myself."
"My surname is Xie. I came to the border alone thirteen years ago to carry out a long-term cross-border hidden top-secret mission. The purpose is to destroy the Golden Triangle Thayer drug cartel that has long penetrated the borders of Yunnan and Yunnan. Ten years ago, I discovered The existence of the dark web drug-related e-commerce tea Horse Road and the Mariana Trench website, and sent Mariana's security director Arthur Hodgson to prison, and then continued to lurk among various gangs in the Golden Triangle. During this period, I cooperated with The police have destroyed many border drug trafficking routes and drug trafficking organizations, and many times have passed by death and saved the danger. A year ago, I was assigned to assist the police in lure the world-wanted drug lord shark into the territory and encircled it, but it was a pity to arrest The operation failed. The shark escaped, the Mariana Trench website went offline for a year, the Golden Triangle drug lord offered a multimillion-dollar bounty for my head, and my code name spread across the global drug network overnight."
"For the purpose of protection, the organization transferred me to the Jinhai City Public Security Bureau in North China and gave me a pseudonym Wu Yu. Here I met the Bu detachment and all of you, and spent an unprecedented peaceful time in my life."
The surroundings were so shocked that there was no sound at all. Except for a few directors who had already heard about it, everyone's eyes widened, and they couldn't believe their ears.
But Wu Yu's tone is not high, and very gentle:
"In the past three months, the Nancheng Detachment has undergone the most severe review and cleaning in history. We have been reduced from one of the best business departments in Jinhai to the object of suspicion, scrutiny and criticism by everyone. The glory of the past has plummeted. Everyone may I've heard all kinds of rumors about the detachment, but what I want to say here is that I don't believe the detachment did those things."
"I don't believe that he killed Wan Changwen's daughter Peng Wan to survive, and I don't believe that he sold the blue and gold to the sharks."
"The Nancheng Detachment is one of the best criminal investigation teams in Jinhai and even in North China. It was and will be in the future. I will do my best to bring the Bu Detachment back to find out the truth and end the current situation that is like a rat in the street. , to get everything back on track.”
There was silence all around, and only Wu Yu's steady voice echoed in the sky: "I will take everyone to clear the stigma and restore the prestige and glory of our Nancheng Detachment."
Liao Gang said in a deep voice, "Team Wu."
Everyone woke up like a dream, Meng Zhao jumped off the edge of the table: "Wu Detachment."
"Team Wu." "Little Angkor." "Little Wu team."
…
The sound of chairs rubbing against the ground sounded one after another, and everyone stood up, forming a half circle with solemn expressions.
"From now on, everyone will ask Vice Liao for foreign affairs, and Sister Meng for internal affairs, and call me if you have offended others." Wu Wei stretched out his hand and pressed Liao Gang's shoulder, and said succinctly: "We will help each other through hardships and hardships, and the Nancheng Detachment will always be a whole."
The statement that the Nancheng Detachment is a whole is usually just an official cliché, but Bu Chonghua has not said it a few times during the years he has been the top leader. But at this time, from Wu Yu's mouth, everyone understands its extraordinary weight: before the stigma and suspicion are completely cleared, everyone in the detachment who has been promoted and used by Bu Chonghua will be treated differently. The degree of negative impact, even if you are transferred from the Nancheng Branch, you cannot completely get rid of the gray record on your resume, and the impact within the system is very far-reaching.
One is prosperous, and one is lost. At this moment, everyone is truly a community of interests tied to the same boat and helping each other through thick and thin.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Understand Wu Team!"
…
Cai Lin rubbed his nose, which was sour and hot because he mentioned the word "step detachment" just now, and said in a low voice, "I, I feel that Xiao Wu's whole person is different from before..."
"No, it's actually the same as before." Sister Meng sighed and said, "The real... the real before."
The innate edges and corners, the sharp edge that has been polished, finally broke through the shackles he put on himself, and showed when he was cornered, just like the really long and bloody past.
"Are you going to see the detachment captain's office?" Liao Gang asked in a low voice.
Wu Yu shook his head and walked out of the big office: "No."
"Hey? Where are you going then?"
Liao Gang involuntarily followed a few steps, followed Wu Yu's line of sight and looked down from the corridor window - a large silver G was parked in the open space in front of the building, and a silhouette wrapped in a dark gray windbreaker leaned in front of the car door and looked at the phone. Smoking, he suddenly looked up as if he had felt something, and met Wu Yu who was behind the window sill upstairs, and it was Jiang Zing.
"Revisit the scene." Wu Yu put the slightly slipped shirt cuffs on his elbows and said succinctly, "I don't believe that there is an absolute secret room in this world."
However, the technical investigator has already touched the secret room where they were imprisoned hundreds of times over and over again, and even took pictures of every brick and every beam and put them on the desk of the city bureau task force, except for the drain pipe. There is no space for the mice... Liao Gang hesitated to speak, the sentence "Why don't I go with you" has not yet come out, only to see Wu Yu walking towards the elevator, and the moment he turned around, his eyes passed through the busy crowd and fell on Not far away, it was the closed door of the detachment commander's office.
On the dark brown door, the old golden nameplate had not been taken off, and the words "Bu Chonghua" fell into Wu Yu's indifferent eyes.
Then he looked away and walked down the stairs.
Liao Gang was stunned in place. After a while, he saw Wu Yu's figure appearing downstairs. He strode out of the front steps of the building wearing a coat, and took a pair of survey gloves thrown by Jiang Ting. The two nodded to each other and got into the car. The taillights of Big G quickly disappeared on the street in front of the Public Security Bureau.
·
At the same time, a port in North China.
The motor was mixed in the sound of the waves from far to near. After a while, a speedboat gradually appeared in the depths of the water mist, breaking through the waves and speeding forward.
Shark stood by the door of the car on the shore, and saw a figure with a flapping clothes standing up from the bow, with his left hand in his trousers pocket, and a briefcase in his right hand. When the speedboat docked, he stepped out. Step Chonghua!
The bodyguard put his hand into his pocket and pressed the handle of the gun, and asked in a low voice, "Boss?"
The shark's blue eyes landed on the other's suitcase, and he shook his head slightly. The two subordinates had to stand back upright, only to see that Bu Chonghua got off the boat alone, strode forward on the beach, and said with a smile: "It's really better to see it, Mr. Shark."
This was indeed the first time the two faced each other, and the shark unabashedly looked up and down Bu Chonghua. The former criminal investigation detachment leader is not as young and cold as he looks in the ID photo, but he has deeper edges and corners, and a more lean and sturdy body. There is no flickering in his eyes or any unnecessary movements, and his gestures are neat and tidy.
Since meeting the painter, Shark has become less convinced of his first judgment of people - but even so, he can still feel from Bu Chonghua's obvious personal style that the other party is a clear-cut, determined, and alpha wolf. People with very strong traits.
This trait he has seen in many drug lords, but it is indeed far from the Chinese officialdom he understands.
"Captain of the detachment." Shark finally spit out the title with interest and asked, "What made you want to come and see me?"
Bu Chonghua glanced at the two bodyguards with live ammunition and the jeep with one-sided viewing glass on the side. He didn't care, and opened the password box in his hand with a snap. In an instant, even the shark raised his eyebrows and said "oh". , I saw that the box was filled with bags of blue crystals, blue gold!
"Do you want to sell it to me?"
This box is at least six or seven kilograms, and if enough is caught, there are still eighteen rounds left. In an instant, the shark had already estimated a price, but unexpectedly, Bu Chonghua closed the suitcase, threw it casually into the arms of the shark's bodyguard, and said, "No, I want to give it to you."
"Give it to me?"
"Yes, in order to thank you for keeping your promise, rob me from the prison car in Jinhai."
The bodyguard skillfully and quickly opened a bag of blue gold, put on latex gloves and rubbed it a little, smelled it, and said in surprise, "Real!"
The shark's expression finally changed a little.
Like heroin, blue gold can be distinguished by the naked eye. Blue gold with such a good luster and high purity can be described as scarce after hearing Shao's death. No one in the world who is engaged in the drug business can not be tempted. Bu Chonghua waited leisurely for the shark's reaction, but unexpectedly, after the white man in front of him pondered for a while, he still shook his head regretfully.
"No, Captain of the Squadron. I only saved you because you brought those blue and gold demolition homes to the Mariana Trench, and I have always been a platform operator who values credibility. The transaction between us has been completed, and there is no need for any more. There are many branches."
- He doesn't trust Bu Chonghua.
He didn't trust the former detective who could describe all the great changes in front of him as abrupt.
Bu Chonghua nodded calmly, without any dissatisfaction or disappointment on his face, and only asked: "What if I could provide you with a lot, more blue and gold than you imagined?"
Shark said politely: "You may have misunderstood me. Although I attach great importance to new drugs, I am not a businessman who is addicted to money... "
"What if I can make your operations in North China very convenient, and even allow you to establish a long-term and stable transit base?"
Shark's refusal stopped, narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
"In the year that the Mariana Trench went offline, your business has suffered heavy losses, while the transaction volume of the originally unknown small website 'The Ancient Tea Horse Road' has soared dozens of times, and even has a chance to compete with you in Southeast Asia. If you don't have a stable enough transfer point to build a logistics channel, you will soon lose a large piece of the market to rising stars, and it will be very difficult to win back." Bu Chonghua looked at the pair of sharp pressure With tight blue eyes, he smiled and said, "The times are different, Mr. Shark. The painter has made you lose your position as a global monopoly, and fast-growing competitors are eager to carve up the remaining market. If the ancient tea-horse road finds Wanchang first. What if Wen and reached a cooperation? What if the global price of blue and gold continues to fall or even break down the floor? The rise and collapse of the Internet age are often only in the blink of an eye, do you really believe that the cornerstone of your business empire is Biros Ubli Is Xi more sturdy and unbreakable?"
- How dare he take a shark than Ross Ulbricht, but Ross Ulbricht has been caught and put in jail!
The expressions of the two men beside the jeep changed, and the shark raised his eyebrows. Ruo Xiaofei smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to think so much about my career?"
Bu Chonghua said: "For us Chinese, it is normal to walk three times and then four."
"... Walk three times and walk four." The shark repeated this sentence, and laughed out loud. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "You are so cautious, but I suddenly have a question."
"What question?"
The waves crashed against the reef, making waves of splashing waves. The shark's smile gradually faded, the two of them were only half a step apart, and Bu Chonghua could clearly see the water and sky reflected in his pupils, which were turning gray, gradually condensing into a cold gray tone:
"You also know that the transaction volume of the Ancient Tea Horse Road has soared, which is enough to compete with the Mariana Trench in Southeast Asia, so why did you choose to rely on me? Is it a purely rational decision after weighing the pros and cons?"
This question is actually very strange - everyone who eats this meal is a profit-seeker, and they don't weigh the pros and cons for their own plans. Is it because the website design of the Mariana Trench is better than the Ancient Tea Horse Road
"Yes." Bu Chonghua said with a smile, "Although I have some money, who would think that the money is too hot?"
The shark stared at him without saying a word.
"I'll give you enough time to consider my suggestion, that box of high-purity blue gold is just a gift for meeting." Bu Chonghua gathered up his coat fluttering in the sea breeze, nodded in greeting, very graceful: "Consider it before contacting me. I."
He turned around and walked towards the long-awaited speedboat on the shore. Suddenly, at this moment, the shark suddenly drew his gun and slammed it into the chamber. With a bang, the bullet hit the ground close to the heel of Bu Chonghua's leather shoes, splashing a cluster of yellow sand!
The situation suddenly changed, and the two bodyguards drew their guns without hesitation: "Stop!"
Bu Chonghua paused for a while, and without looking back, a cold muzzle was already on the back of his head, and the shark behind him said coldly, "There's something I've always wanted to ask you."
"..." Bu Chonghua looked at the endless sea in front of him, "If you mean Mahin, I'm very sorry, I killed your girlfriend..."
Shark said flatly: "Although I spent a lot of money for her, she is not my girlfriend, and I can't blame others for killing myself."
Bu Chonghua asked, "Then what exactly do you mean?"
Bu Chonghua's net height is 1.85 meters. Even from the back, you can see that he has wide shoulders, narrow waist, narrow legs and long legs. He looks very handsome, and even his voice is magnetic, which is extremely attractive in any aspect. object.
The shark stared at him, the gun didn't move at all, and finally said slowly: "I heard some rumors about the painter and you..."
"… these rumors make me very, very unhappy."
