Jinhai City.
The torrential rain washed the embankment, and the water rushed forward, rushing into the deep twilight in the distance.
"I'll tell you not to be so active, I won't give you two more money if you work at twelve o'clock, those people are very dark!" The boy held the sloping umbrella, half of his body was soaked, and the rain was smooth. With his black and thin calf dipping into the broken sneakers, he waded in the muddy soup every step of the way, "I'll take you downstairs, or I'll be seen by your dad later!"
The girl under the umbrella was wearing a dark blue overalls that was obviously too large, clasped her arms tightly, and her voice trembled slightly: "The foreman gave me an extra 40 yuan..."
The boy grunted heavily.
What he wanted to say but swallowed it back. After a while, he warned: "Then you can hide the money, don't let your dad know, and send it to bet again."
"I... I know." The girl stretched out her hand and pulled the strap of her schoolbag as if reflexively: "When I save enough money, I will take my mother out of here and go back to my hometown. Even farming is better than this. I heard people say it. …”
Whoa!
When a small movement came, the boy suddenly stopped and turned his head.
"What did you hear?"
The girl stumbled to her feet, shook her head blankly, and the boy was a little nervous: "What?"
It was getting late, and the last bus from the industrial park to the suburbs had already left. The wilderness was dark, the street lights were not on, and the majestic rain obscured the vision; in the distance, I could see the thigh-deep grass swaying back and forth under the rain, like a group of small people staggering.
Swish, swish.
"..." The boy suspected that he had heard it wrong, but did not dare to step back, so he tentatively shouted after a while, "Hey, is there anyone?!"
There was no answer in the rainstorm.
"Wind... it must be the wind..." The girl was uneasy, and tightened her bag again: "Let's go, let's go..."
When the salty cold wind on the river blew, the boy suddenly got goosebumps behind his back. He swallowed hard: "Let's go." Then he pulled the girl and turned around in a hurry. Before he took two steps, he heard—
rustle.
rustle.
It seemed that some kind of huge reptile was swimming quickly from the grass, and the two froze at the same time. After a few seconds, the boy froze and tilted his head. Does that mean you heard it
The girl's pale face couldn't be seen clearly in the dim light, and she nodded stiffly after a while.
"..." The boy gasped heavily, his eyes wandered, he picked up a dirty stone and held it tightly in his hand, turned around and shouted, "Who's there?! Come out for me!"
The rain screen washed away, but there was no response. After a full half a minute, the boy's tense shoulders relaxed a little, signaled the girl to grab her arm, and whispered, "It's not right here, let's go—"
at this time.
rustle!
The trees close at hand swayed violently, and the premonition of danger rushing towards them made the two young men shiver like lightning at the same time, but before they could step back, it was too late in the blink of an eye. A huge ghost almost stood up against their faces, and the street lights in the distance reflected on the river surface, and they saw half of its white bones, its flesh was rotten, and there were only two black holes left in its nasal cavity, and its upper and lower teeth were exposed. The two eyes glared at them, and took a step forward—
That's not a living person.
That's a skeleton!
"Ahhh!"
Heart-piercing screams pierced through the rain curtain, and the distant train drove over the railroad tracks. The roaring sound mixed with the heavy rain overwhelmed the last lingering sound.
·
the next day.
"Ahhh-"
The roar resounded through the corridor, bang! The door was pushed open and slammed into the wall. A strong man wielding a kitchen knife rushed into the fire door against the dust of the wall and rushed downstairs like a mad cow.
"Fuck!" The plainclothes detective rushed out of the house, chased after a few steps, and decisively raised his mobile phone: "Report to the team, report to the team, a suspect escaped control with a knife and is breaking through the safe passage, request immediate support! Repeat! Request support!"
"It doesn't sound good to tell you to go to class, and you write all your homework. I'll be embarrassed by dragging my mother away every three days. If I knew earlier, I shouldn't have given birth to something like you..." Outside the residential building, the woman parked the electric car and pointed Pointing and poking her child's head, she just pushed open the security door and was about to step in, when she saw a fierce face jumping out of the safe passage, Xueliang Daoguang came to the front in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Ah! !"
- The woman's screams came from outside the building, next to the police car.
Wu Yu suddenly turned his head, and the next second was like an arrow from the string, rushing towards the corridor door!
The note has already been chased down, and this motherfucker has jumped out of the way! The strong man had cloudy eyes and held the knife to hold the petrified child. The moment the kitchen knife fell, the woman desperately hugged the child and pushed it back, facing the jagged shoulders and back to the blade. Smashed to the ear!
Whoa!
The corridor window on the second floor shattered, and another figure descended from the sky, wrapped in countless pieces of glass, and kicked the strong man over his head!
"Damn it..." The strong man slammed his head on the concrete floor, and his face was covered in blood on the spot. The dual stimulation of methamphetamine and severe pain drove him completely mad, and he clenched the kitchen knife and rushed to people to chop and chop like crazy. But the person who came came didn't delay for half a second, rolled up on the spot, tilted his head to avoid the blade, and before the cut hair ends fell to the ground, he had already grasped the strong man's wrist bone like lightning, "Crack!" With a crisp twist, the kitchen knife fell to the ground The loud bang and the screams of the strong man sounded at the same time!
"Raise your hands and don't move!"
"Step Detachment!"
Footsteps came one after another, and the detectives rushed downstairs one after another. Bu Chonghua pressed the back of the strong man's head, "Bang!" He slammed that hideous and crazy face into the fire glass cabinet, then lifted the bloody head out with his hair, took out the handcuffs, clapped them, and threw them away. to the subordinates.
A middle-aged female criminal policeman, Meng Zhao, the only female field officer in the detachment, strode forward to greet him: "Are you all right, detachment?"
The suspect's face was covered in blood and glass slag, and he couldn't help screaming in pain. He was hooded by two policemen and escorted out of the corridor left and right. Because of the emergency action, the security belt was finally pulled out, and there was an open space in front of the corridor gate. Next to the two police SUVs, five or six hooded "demolition houses" were squatting, all of them like lost dogs, blue Outside the white line was crowded with people watching the lively on the way to get off work.
On the other side, the mother and son were shaking while being supported by the police intern. The child was crying while sniffling: "Mom, Mom, are you all right? Mom, I will do my homework well in the future..."
Bu Chonghua didn't answer Meng Zhao, he withdrew his gaze, his face sinking like water:
"—What about the newcomer?"
Several detectives around: "..."
Wu Yu stepped back unobtrusively.
But as soon as he moved his feet, Bu Chonghua turned his head like he had eyes in the back of his head, his sharp gaze pinned on him, then grabbed him by the collar, and pulled Wu Yu from behind the crowd with one hand. Step forward, pointing to the mother and son:
"I told you to stare at the periphery of the community, don't let the residents in the building, what are you doing?!"
Wu Yu was caught off guard and was dragged a few steps, Meng Zhao saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately stepped forward to explain: "Brigade, listen to me, Zhang Xiaoyu and the other interns temporarily changed the monitoring point with Xiao Wu, and the gate of the community is not closed to him. thing..."
"What am I asking you about?!"
Wu Yu tried his best to tilt his head back and explained embarrassingly: "Captain, listen to me..."
Bu Chonghua shouted sharply, "I asked you what you were doing!"
He was half a head taller than Wu Yu, and his roar shook the corridor. The people around him were silent, and no one dared to speak.
"..." Wu Yu finally lowered his eyes honestly: "I'm sorry captain, I'll pay attention next time."
The captain of the detachment is not the kind of appearance that is easy to get close to.
His height is quite outstanding even in the northern city of Jinhai, and he can give people a sense of oppression like a needle at that stop. When he was a student at the police academy, he had always been the main force of the basketball team. With that frosty handsome face, he had been in the department for four consecutive years in the investigation department, and even caused a sensation in the North China public security system after joining the job. The first impression of his face is always more fear than admiration.
Bu Chonghua's indifferent black eyes stared at Wu Yu, and the surroundings were quiet.
After a long while, he finally let go of his hand and pushed Wu Yu back.
Wu Yu staggered for half a step, only to see that Bu Chonghua stopped looking at him, pulled out the shard of glass that had pierced his arm muscle, wiped the blood, turned and walked towards the police car: "The three groups stayed to clean up the scene, and the others went back to arrange identification. , the informant said that these grandchildren have old cases, and they took their fingerprints and DNA to run the database. Let the pre-trial Lao Qian bring the materials to see me first, and then notify the people from the Anti-drug Detachment of Wuqiao Branch to come and help - Cai Lin! "
The plainclothes who called for rescue before flew down from upstairs: "Hey!"
"The interrogation is arranged overnight, no one can leave tonight, and whoever leaves will not be used tomorrow!"
Cai Lin didn't dare to talk nonsense: "Yes!"
Zhang Xiaoyu and the other intern policemen were crying and grimacing, and they helped Wu Yu to the back: "I'm sorry, little Angkor, I will invite you to dinner tomorrow night..."
Not long after Wu Yu joined the team, he was already known as a good-natured guy in the entire Nancheng Branch. He seemed to accept the targeting and reprimands from the leaders. He coughed and waved his hands to indicate that it was okay.
Cai Lin harassed Sister Meng and asked in a low voice, "This newcomer is actually okay, why does Brother Hua find fault and scold him all day long?"
"New" Wu Yu has just been transferred to Jinhai City for two months. He probably has some background in the Municipal Party Committee. The leaders of the Municipal Bureau personally spoke to the Criminal Investigation Detachment. Although he is a related householder, he usually punches in to get off work, taps to go to work, keeps quiet, and is honest. He doesn't stand out in his work and doesn't hold back very much. If it wasn't for Bu Chonghua's frequent training of him, it can be said that he would not exist in the detachment. Sense, a background board that is both competent and mediocre.
Sister Meng sighed: "He is the only one in the entire detachment who was stuffed in by relationship. Do you think that with the personality that cannot be rubbed in the eyes of the team, how long can you endure him?"
Cai Lin took a breath.
Sister Meng lowered her voice helplessly: "Wait for him to stand and leave."
The small open space in front of the residential building was crowded with people, and every order was quickly spread and executed. The criminal police shuttled back and forth, the suspects pleaded for injustice, those who took photos and kept evidence, those who collected inspection materials, those who contacted the bureau, and those who made temporary records... Everything was so orderly and well-organized.
In the corner of the scene, Wu Yu peeked at the time on his mobile phone, it was half past seven.
"What's wrong with Little Angkor?" Zhang Xiaoyu was quite clever: "Is something wrong with your family?"
Wu Yu hesitated and said "uh".
Although Wu Yu was scolded by the detachment captain, he was very friendly to his colleagues. He was gentle and silent, taciturn, never had a dispute with anyone, and anyone could replace him with a long and boring night shift for a day shift. It's outstanding, but he's a good little brother who runs errands, buys water and buys food without complaint. He has collected 108 good person cards from the Criminal Investigation Detachment in just two months.
"It's alright, you can sneak away." Zhang Xiaoy whispered: "The Bu detachment has an appointment with the procuratorate to meet at 8 o'clock in the evening, and I just heard the call, he should leave later. I'll help you on the night shift tonight, let's not talk about it later, ah."
Wu Yu struggled a bit. Although he had only been here for two months, he already knew the temper of this young immediate boss. The strength of his unequivocal expression is too weak to describe it as domineering.
but…
He opened the text message in the afternoon again: [At nine o'clock, the old place, starting from 50,000.]
From the corner of Wu Yu's eyes, Bu Chonghua was standing next to the police car not far away. The child's mother was holding his hand tightly and was so grateful that Sadu couldn't let it go.
—This boss, who is said to be from an elite background, famous in North China, and has a promising future, may not even be worth fifty Zimbabwe dollars, let alone fifty thousand in his heart.
Wu Yu finally made up his mind, let out a breath, and patted Zhang Xiao Yue on the shoulder: "Thank you."
Zhang Xiaoy gave him a look that he gave me at ease. Seeing him flashing the warning line and disappearing at the gate of the community, he was very proud of being able to repay Xiao Angkor. He felt that even the police badge on his chest was more vivid. .
"Thank you, thank you, thank you police officer! A good man has a safe life and a safe life! If it weren't for you and my son, it would be really over. What's your name, police officer, and how many police numbers do you have? I'll write a letter of praise to your public security bureau later, I'm going Send a pennant…”
There was no expression on Bu Zhonghua's handsome face, and he used gauze to press the wound on his arm. Sister Meng hurried over to support the incoherent woman and coaxed him away in a few words.
"Boss, Brother Qian and the others have arrived at the procuratorate, shall we go?" Cai Lin stuck his head out of the car: "I'll take you off?"
Bu Chonghua nodded without saying a word, and gave a few words to his subordinates before getting into the car with the bloody medical gauze. The black Wrangler SUV with the police lights drove out of the community, turned a corner outside the gate, and turned onto a street where the evening rush hour had not yet completely passed.
"Boss, let me tell you something, today Wu Yu took the thunder for those interns." Cai Lin glanced at Bu Chonghua's face from the corner of the car while driving, and said cautiously, "That man Wu Yu Well, I think it's alright, although it's a bit boring, it's still honest, and you make trouble without relying on the background, will you stay in our team in the future?"
"Do not stay."
"what?"
"The field of criminal investigation is not a place for anyone to use their qualifications as a springboard." Bu Chonghua said coldly: "None of those who came in through the back door could stay for more than half a year, so they simply left early and finished their work."
Cai Lin still wanted to persuade a few words, but suddenly Bu Chonghua caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly turned his head to look out of the car window—
On the side of the road outside the community, a bus was slowly arriving at the stop, and a familiar silhouette was wrapped in the crowd and got on the bus.
It was Wu Yu.
Cai Lin: "..."
The air suddenly completely solidified, and there was only the sentence left ten minutes ago, "Whoever leaves will not come tomorrow!" The words were still in his ears, and Cai Lin dared not look at his boss's face.
Bu Chonghua's stern face showed no expression at all, he took out his mobile phone and quickly dialed a number, Meng Zhao's voice sounded across the street a few moments later, and the background was the hustle and bustle at the gate of the community: "Hello? Team?"
"Tell Bureau Xu," Bu Chonghua's voice was as clear as ice: "Wu Yu won't be going to work tomorrow."
"Wait, team!..."
A chill rushed to the top of Cai Lin's head, only to see Bu Chonghua cut off the call and gently threw the phone back into his pocket.
