Yao Luoxuan returned to the unit, changed into his police uniform, and stood in front of the mirror of the dresser from a distance to compare, and felt satisfied only when he didn't find anything wrong with his dress. This police uniform made according to his body is very close-fitting, and his heroic posture fills the whole body. Swinging his body from side to side, he made sure of his attire again, then picked up the white large-brimmed hat from the table next to him, put it on his head, pressed his hands on the brim on the left and right sides, and adjusted it slightly, OK, everything is in order.

After returning from the criminal police team, Yao Luoxuan only adjusted his mood slightly, but the time inadvertently jumped to four o'clock in the afternoon - the peak of the city's traffic flow was coming. Looking at the time on her phone, she knew that she couldn't let everything affect her work, which was a good idea. So, Yao Luoxuan quickly changed into a uniform and prepared everything properly, and then he was ready to take up his post. But when she grasped the doorknob and was about to open it, she folded back to the mirror in the corner of her office. Leaning forward slightly, he filled his face with a round vanity mirror with a diameter of eighteen centimeters.

Wrinkles, shallow hop wrinkles, hanging on the left side of the eye corner, this is crow's feet. Yao Luoxuan stretched out his finger and clicked, and after pressing, the wrinkle, which was only about a centimeter long, disappeared. It was only two seconds after I let go of my hand that the wrinkle reappeared.

It's wrinkles indeed. I don't want to confirm it, but the facts are the facts. Thirty-four years old, not the state of youth. Thirty-four years old, neither young nor old, is separated between the two definitions of youth and middle age. Yao Luoxuan skipped this place, and looked again to see if there were any other traces on his face. Thankfully, that's all there is to it. Women love beauty, and Yao Luoxuan is the same, although she has given birth to a son and a daughter, but because she has spent enough cosmetics to maintain it, she does not feel old at all. When did this trace come from? After taking a shower yesterday, I seriously applied skin care products to every inch of my body, but I didn't notice it at that time, so why did I have it today? In this case, ordinary women will be lost, but Yao Luoxuan felt a taste of ridicule.

Why laugh at it? Yao Luoxuan had to smile bitterly.

The incident by the river yesterday and the incident that was suddenly asked away by Zhao Cui today do not seem to be as serious as they are now. Women care a lot about their skin. But no matter what, you have to know everything you need to do. So Yao Luoxuan put on a white big-brimmed hat again and walked out of his office.

Out of the office, I walked to the other end of the building and went down the stairs from the third floor to the underground garage. I found my car in a simple and cramped garage, sat on it, activated the key, turned on the headlights and headed straight for the exit. The place Yao Luoxuan is going to is an intersection for which he is responsible. There is an elementary school on the east side of that intersection, and every time I am on duty during rush hour, I can see parents driving all kinds of cars, crammed into the crowded school gate, picking up their children in the car, and then desperately squeezing to the road home. Maybe it's because of the children, except for the morning and evening rush hours, the road on the east side is very strictly managed at other times, and illegal parking and illegal U-turns will be punished by Yao Luoxuan.

Yao Luoxuan didn't like her job. She used to be an outstanding soldier of the peacekeeping force, why is she now reduced to such a small intersection on duty? Every time she thinks of what happened to her, a feeling of inappeasement comes to her mind.

The office where Yao Luoxuan set off was the office building of a traffic police detachment to which she belonged, and it was only five minutes from there to the intersection where she was on duty. After stepping on the accelerator a few times, she arrived at the intersection, parked the car, put on the reflective vest engraved with the words "police" and the English word "Police" hanging in the car, also put on the police belt, and hung a radio weighing more than 900 grams on the belt, and then walked all the way to the intersection. There was a police booth next to the intersection, and after the auxiliary police inside saw Yao Luoxuan appear, they picked up their duty equipment and walked to the road to help direct traffic. Of course, all this is repeated almost every day. Spring goes to winter, summer passes through autumn solstice, and every day is in such a cycle. This is not the life he wants, how many times Yao Luoxuan has thought so.

After a short time, Yao Luoxuan stopped a car that was cutting into the queue at the intersection and guided the driver to the side of the intersection so as not to obstruct other vehicles. After saluting the driver, she accepted the driver's two certificates and glanced at them, only slightly educated, then returned them to the driver and asked him to drive slower. But before, in this general situation, Yao Luoxuan would always punish the driver, but this time he didn't. The surrounding auxiliary police saw it in their eyes and didn't say anything, they probably thought that this driver must know Yao Luoxuan. However, this is not the case, Yao Luoxuan has never seen this driver, but Yao Luoxuan suddenly felt bored.

Could it be that the events of the past two days have affected him? Yao Luoxuan asked himself, but the answer was not so easy to find. Yao Luoxuan knew that his consciousness was very strong, this was trained during his military service, and it was not so easy to change. Yao Luoxuan shook his head, raised his hand, and straightened the big-brimmed hat. During her duty, you can't be cranky, you have to concentrate, she thinks so. But her head could not stop it, and she remembered the time when she was in the military and lay on the training ground for three hours without moving. The scorching sun, crawlers, sweat, and the smell of feces and urine wafting all around me penetrated into every one of my senses. At this moment, a few wisps of breeze blew, stirring a few strands of hair at the corners of her forehead that were not wrapped by herself, tilting crookedly, and crossing the corners of her eyes. In the past, the training was also the touch of the hair caressing the corners of his eyes, from the unacceptable slight fluttering of the eyelids at the beginning, to the current feeling of no stiffness, all the same.

How many years ago was that? Eighteen years old, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, now thirty-four. It's been seventeen years. Time flies and is scary, and numbers alone can be replaced. Until the years come, it is impossible to know the colors that these numbers have displayed in their lives. Even if you can't know, these colors have been engraved on the blank paper of life, whether you are happy or not, you can't erase it, and you are firmly glued.

When he was seventeen years old, Yao Luoxuan went home with a college admission letter, only to see his parents put the conscription notice on the table. This mood is a blow to her, who has been under the protection of her parents for 18 years. Yao Luoxuan refused several times, but under the persecution of his parents and the repeated education of the recruiter, he finally had to compromise.

Two years of youth have been dedicated to the army and the country. From the initial rejection to the final reluctance, the army is indeed the best place to train people. When Yao Luoxuan was discharged from the army, she returned to school, and it was because of the influence of the army that she was more focused on her studies. College life is a lot of time, Yao Luoxuan did not waste a little time, in addition to her own major, she also studied several other majors, and practiced four foreign languages perfectly. When Yao Luoxuan graduated from college, her age was still within the conscription range, so she decisively enlisted in the army for the second time.

This time he enlisted, Yao Luoxuan was selected into the peacekeeping force after a short training session with the recruits. After a year of preparation, Yao Luoxuan stepped into the country of Africa. Poverty, turmoil and laziness are Yao Luoxuan's impressions of Africa. Peacekeepers will never interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, so Yao Luoxuan watches certain countries in Africa spend their days at war. Even, every time he rescues, Yao Luoxuan has to wait for the meaning of the top, and if he is not careful, any action will become the handle of other hegemonists.

In the second year of peacekeeping, Yao Luoxuan encountered a coup d'état in a certain country. They maintained the last remaining civilization in the country, and after watching the flames of war burn for half a year, they received orders from the United Nations to protect the inhabitants of a certain city in the country from attacks by terrorist groups that took advantage of the situation. This is Yao Luoxuan's first time participating in a combat mission, she is already used to seeing cruelty, and when she enters a cruel action, an incomparably powerful shock shocks her. When the city and terrorists were dispersed, Yao Luoxuan, who thought he was going to start peace, was stunned by a car bomb. When she woke up, Yao Luoxuan had already returned to China, and she had been in a coma in the hospital for three months.

Where did the car come from? How did the bomb go off? Yao Luoxuan couldn't remember it at all, as if it had been broken, and her last memory was only on the steering wheel of the modified pickup truck she was driving. After that, there was a blank slate.

Why bother thinking of this? Yao Luoxuan calmed down, she left her post, walked into the sentry box, and sat down. On the table at the sentry box, there was a packet of cigarettes and lighters that had been dismantled, which were left at random by the auxiliary police on duty. Yao Luoxuan took off his hat, put it in the corner of the table, took one out of the cigarette case, put it in his mouth, and then lit it for himself. She took a heavy breath, choking on the smoke and coughing several times. But Yao Luoxuan didn't throw it away, inhaled it a few times, controlled the amount of smoke into his body, and catered to the feeling of his lungs little by little. After half a branch, I got used to it so quickly.

During the peacekeeping period, Yao Luoxuan learned to smoke and never smoked again after returning home. Yao Luoxuan looked at the cigarette in his hand, watched the smoke rise slowly, drifted away for a long time and disappeared. How did she get cigarettes during peacekeeping? This may have been learned from the American military, and the commander of the unit to which she belonged was an American. Americans don't have that many habits, so after a while of messing with American female soldiers, they learned to smoke. Being in a foreign country, she may be very dependent on cigarettes.

After smoking a cigarette, she threw it in the ashtray next to her, and when she looked up, she saw the nearest auxiliary police officer looking at her in amazement. Women smoke, although it is not strange, but it is also rare, a female traffic policeman who has never smoked is sitting in the sentry box at the moment, secretly smoking this is a strange thing. There is no need to explain anything to others, Yao Luoxuan just needs to know why he has this idea of smoking, just to explore, it is a dead end, his mind is imprisoned on one side, without the guidance of others, no matter his own efforts, he will not be able to break through the obstacles.

Yao Luoxuan put her hat back on, stood up, and walked out of this small sentry box. The setting sun slanted on her face, squinting involuntarily. There was a lot of traffic at the intersection, and the four auxiliary police officers were blowing their whistles in four directions at the intersection to prevent the illegal passage of pedestrians and electric vehicles. On the east side of the intersection, the vehicles picking up the children honked their horns wantonly, and the noise continued. Fortunately, there are school administrators at the entrance of the school to relieve the congestion, and these administrators are all parents forced by the school. The school is reluctant to use the reputation of duty to force parents to do these things by expensive teachers who block parents' vehicles at intersections. Yao Luoxuan's eldest son is in the first grade of primary school at the moment, and she was also asked by the teacher to be on duty in front of her son's school, but in the end she didn't go. The biggest reason is that the teacher knows that she is a traffic police officer and has her own responsibilities. However, this is also an excuse.

The sunset is too strong, especially at the end of autumn, and the huge red ball hangs on the west side, stimulating the eyes of every passerby. Yao Luoxuan didn't like this kind of light, she turned to the east side of the school and walked, her body with the sun on her back, and let her oblique figure stretch into the distance. The slender shadow was growing in front of her, but behind her was a ray of light.

Yao Luoxuan looked for the shadow and saw that it was desperately spawning towards the school, but it reached the limit halfway. Within the last point of the shadow's touch, a boy stood at the other end, it was Nian Hao. Yes, this person is definitely Nian Hao. Yao Luoxuan was very sure. But Nian Hao's hand was holding a girl's hand. The two of them were standing at the other end, at the other end of the bus stop. Yao Luoxuan didn't stop, she wanted to walk towards the two young people.

But a bus with the sound of the wind instantly whistled past Yao Luoxuan, and quickly stopped on the platform. Nian Hao took the girl's hand, and under the crowding of many people, he quickly entered the bus. After the door was closed, the bus honked its horn and shouted at the private car blocking the road to pick up the children, and after a period of panic, the bus drove away, and after a short time, it turned left at the next intersection and completely disappeared in Yao Luoxuan's eyes.

Lose. A feeling of loss spread, filling Yao Luoxuan's mind.

Yao Luoxuan turned around, returned to the sentry box, sat down again, and smoked again. She closed her eyes, wanting to have no distractions, but in her heart there was a fierce emotion like the waves under the moon, and she smashed into the shore one after another. Yao Luoxuan took a few puffs of cigarette and rubbed his cheeks again. In a hurry, something suddenly came to mind. She searched left and right, and finally opened the drawer of the sentry box, and saw a small mirror the size of the palm of her hand resting peacefully in it. Yao Luoxuan picked up the mirror and began to look for the wrinkle on the side of the left corner of his eye, and after confirming it, this thing called crow's feet still hung there peacefully, without increasing or disappearing, just hanging there like this.

I put down the mirror and ran out of cigarettes. She already knew that she was not mentally in a state, and she was sure that she was indeed not normal.

At this time, the auxiliary police officer on duty walked over with the arm of a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had thick hair and looked normal, like the programmer's face that had been shown on TV. The gray jacket he wore was open, revealing a white undershirt underneath, and blue jeans and canvas shoes. This kind of dress is all over the street, but a thick gold chain around his neck is very eye-catching, and if it is really gold, this chain is about half a catty. Why bother to hang such a heavy thing around your neck.

"Officer Yao, this guy ran a red light. The auxiliary police officer threw the driver's license he had received through the large window of the sentry box and on the table inside.

The middle-aged man rested his hands on the windowsill and frowned. "Excuse me, officer, I was tweaking the navigation and didn't notice. ”

"The reason is acceptable, but breaking the law is breaking the law. Yao Luoxuan said mechanically. I don't know how many times this explanation has been said. You can't deny other people's reasons, but you also have to make others accept your mistakes.

"I can't help it. The man shook his head, very helpless, "Please hurry up." I still have to hurry. ”

Hearing this, Yao Luoxuan took out the police pass from the drawer, and also took out the connected printer, and the two things were neatly placed on the table. After thinking about it for a while, Yao Luoxuan casually threw the cigarette box on the table in the drawer - there was a pack of cigarettes on the punishment table, which was really not good-looking.

After opening the driver's license, Yao Luoxuan checked it, compared the man with the photo on the document, and after confirming that it was correct, he began to operate on the police communication for a while. Soon the penalty ticket on the printer popped up. After everything was completed, Yao Luoxuan put the penalty sheet in front of the man, and she said: "Hello, I am Yao Luoxuan, a police officer of the XXX Brigade of the Traffic Patrol Police XXX Detachment of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, and now I will punish you for violating the indicator light." Your name is Wu Zhaoxing, and your ID number is XXXXXXXXXXXX. ”

The man nodded and agreed, "Yes, I am." ”

"Wu Zhaoxing?" Yao Luoxuan squinted and looked up at him, a hint of surprise appeared.

The man named Wu Zhaoxing also showed a surprised expression: "You are Yao Lu?"

Yao Lu, this is Yao Luoxuan's former name. After she was discharged from the army, she changed her name, and although it was very troublesome, she changed it anyway.

"I haven't seen you in years. Yao Luoxuan wanted to show a little surprised expression, but he couldn't get a surging from his heart at all, but his face changed slightly.

Wu Zhaoxing and Yao Luoxuan belong to the same army, but Yao Luoxuan was lucky and entered the peacekeeping force. After that, Wu Zhaoxing had no information at all. It's not that Yao Luoxuan doesn't contact his comrades-in-arms, the comradeship in the army is very precious and can't be discarded. It's just that Yao Luoxuan's comrades-in-arms who were not in front of the peacekeeping force have disappeared unknowingly in their years. Yao Luoxuan was also depressed, and the reason she could give herself was that time diluted everything.

"You add me to WeChat, I really have something to go. Wu Zhaoxing put his mobile phone out, opened the QR code, and put it in front of Yao Luoxuan.

"Okay. The next is not an example. Yao Luoxuan clicked on the mobile phone and scanned the QR code, adding Wu Zhaoxing's friend, she said, "Have you found the place you want to go?"

"I found it, but I'm really sorry, I just adjusted the navigation and found that I ran a red light. Wu Zhaoxing put away his driver's license, waved his hand to thank Yao Luoxuan, turned around and left. Xiaolong ran to his car and slipped off the accelerator.

Wu Zhaoxing, the left pistol king of the army. Yao Luoxuan waited for Wu Zhaoxing to leave, and then remembered that this guy was left-handed. The negativity disappeared at once. She remembered the guy who was holding a bamboo stick and stabbing people, who seemed to be the same height and body type. Is it just such a coincidence?

Interesting things like the halogen high beams of the vehicle, although they are not as bright as the LEDs, they can penetrate the haze and touch the distance at once, and the road ahead is so open. The emergence of a breakthrough shocked Yao Luoxuan. The fine slip printed by Yao Luoxuan was still on the table, and Wu Zhaoxing's ID number, as well as the vehicle number, and contact information were all left in it. Now go to investigate him? How to investigate? Give these important clues to Zhao Cui? But why should he doubt his comrades-in-arms? Wu Zhaoxing was not selected to join the peacekeeping force, so should he go to the special forces again? This should not be. The unit he knew, Wu Zhaoxing, was not something he could touch. Thinking of this, he denied Wu Zhaoxing's relationship with the case. Maybe I'm too sensitive.

Yao Luoxuan leaned back on the chair with her back in a decadent manner, she looked at the intersection, and the bustling vehicles rushed by. The sunset was still struggling over there, and although it was already on the horizon, the light was still abundant. In that year's peacekeeping career, almost all of them came with the sunset. In the environment she was in, the requirements of her unit in the United Nations were only to supplement the local government's forces to maintain order in some neutral areas, and the daily task was to take their place as the local government's armed forces entered the rest. Therefore, Yao Luoxuan's people who followed the army back then protected the local people until the dawn of the next day at sunset. The setting of the sun was the beginning of her work at that time.

However, Yao Luoxuan entered the peacekeeping mission with high spirits, and there has been no war for half a year. Until one day, their convoy was on routine patrol, but suddenly encountered a traffic jam, and she suddenly lost consciousness in the explosion. And then, how to "go into a coma" and return to China? It's just such a memory. Why do you think about it? It's like you've lost something. Yao Luoxuan took out a cigarette from the drawer and lit it again, such a memory had not jumped out of his memory for a long time. Even if it jumps out, it has never been as faint as it is now. Post-war syndrome? Yao Luoxuan shook his head, this is impossible, if this symptom is left on her, it will appear after she comes out of the hospital. Besides, he didn't participate in a single battle, but he passed out in a car bomb.

At that time, after being injured, she woke up in the morning when everything was the same, just tired, and her body just woke up like a nightmare and couldn't move. This is exactly what Yao Luoxuan remembered after waking up. Subsequently, after careful expert consultation and physical adaptation training, he was discharged from the hospital. After being discharged from the hospital, Yao Luoxuan was rewarded with first-class merit, and he was also discharged from the army smoothly, and became a people's policeman. For her, there was almost no impact, but when she picked up the gun, she couldn't find the feeling anymore. This feeling is not something that can be detected, but it may be mentally, and the only possibility that is known is the post-war trauma, and after several counseling and treatment by psychiatrists, it is impossible to determine the exact cause. Since then, Yao Luoxuan gave up the idea of a criminal policeman, and under the persuasion of himself and others, he became a traffic police officer.

Just as Yao Luoxuan's thoughts began to fold, the ringtone of her mobile phone interrupted her thoughts, and it was very noisy.

"Are you going home for dinner?" asked the other end of the voice very flatly after the phone was connected.

"Nope. After a simple answer: "You are fortunate to be at home." Maybe I'll be late. ”

"What's going on in the unit again?"

This was called by Yao Luoxuan's husband, he was very accustomed to his wife's work state, his sentences were very ordinary, and even the inquiries were very common.

Yao Luoxuan paused and replied, "Well, it's action again." ”

"Okay, got it, don't worry at home. With that, the phone hung up.

Yao Luoxuan deceived her husband, and she didn't even think about one or two sentences, and came out of her mouth directly. After so many years of marriage, she is still so straightforward and deceitful, and she does not carry any kindness. She didn't know why, but she knew she had to.

Yao Luoxuan got married in his second year as a police officer. At the age of twenty-seven, she entered the palace of marriage and was very happy. In the second year of marriage, Yao Luoxuan gave birth to a son, and with her help, her husband's small company began to get on track. After another two years, Yao Luoxuan gave birth to a little daughter, and her husband's company was thriving two years later. At the age of thirty-one, Yao Luoxuan and her husband sold their house in the city and bought a detached villa near the lakeside at one end of the city.

However, after hanging up the phone, Yao Luoxuan thought of his children, but the clear outline in his mind became blurred. All I could think of was the smiles on the faces of my children. Why did I become like this? I felt depressed and uncomfortable. Yao Luoxuan shook his head and smoked again. After sucking hard a few times, it was slightly relieved.

Yao Luoxuan opened her mobile phone, clicked on WeChat, and she flipped to a name: Nian Hao. Then she typed it neatly and sent it, she wrote: Are you free at 7 p.m.?
