Chapter 234: True Manhood (Part II)
Wei Chenglin's clumsy fight, except for dragging the black-clothed escape, was basically at a complete disadvantage.
The strength of the black clothes was greater than expected, and he pushed Wei Chenglin to his feet. Just as he picked up a bottle of drink and was about to blow Wei Chenglin's head up, the armed police soldier bravely pounced and firmly subdued him to the ground.
They caused quite a commotion, with the passengers screaming and fleeing in all directions, and almost a stampede was on the verge of a stampede. Wei Chenglin's instep was stepped on several times, and the pain made him grin his teeth, but he was very glad that it was not his hand that was stepped on.
The train stopped at Taoxian Station, and after a brief understanding of the situation, the police asked Wei Chenglin: "Did you see him stealing with your own eyes?"
Wei Chenglin said excitedly: "It's true, he just stole it." There were also cameras at the station, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one who saw him. ”
Wei Chenglin's eyes swept away, but the others had the illusion that they were being named inexplicably, and they hurriedly lowered their heads, or pretended to do something else. Or maybe someone is saying to their children, "Hey, let's not say anything, just don't see it, and when they get out of the car, they will tell others how the black clothes were stolen, how agile he is, and how pitiful the person who was stolen is."
Wei Chenglin was isolated, but he was not discouraged, he said: "He stole at least one migrant worker's mobile phone, which was black, it seemed to be Motorola's, and stole a little girl's wallet, which was also black." If you don't believe me, you broadcast it in the car and see who is missing. ”
If you want to investigate clearly, you will inevitably have to go to the police station. The police officer asked, "Guy, can you get out of the car and make a record?"
Wei Chenglin just wanted to say that he still had to go to Beijing for an interview, but then he thought about it, it was only Monday, and there were still several days to go for the interview. He said, "Uncle policeman, I'm going to Beijing for an interview, so what should I do with my next trip?"
"Don't worry about this, we will help arrange it, and we won't delay your exam. ”
Wei Chenglin really didn't worry about it, took his luggage, and got out of the car with the armed police soldier. Along the way, the black clothes kept slanting at him, Wei Chenglin pretended not to be afraid, but his hands trembled but betrayed him. The armed police soldier separated the two very intimately, keeping Wei Chenglin away from criminals as much as possible.
Wei Chenglin came to the police station again, but this time he was not taken to the interrogation room. After watching the thief be twisted into the interrogation room, Wei Chenglin hallucinated, as if it was his former self.
It's been almost three years, and when he sat in the interrogation room, no matter how many times the police uncle said "don't be afraid", he still wept bitterly, trembled like a sifting chaff, and repeated the phrase over and over again: "I don't take drugs, I don't sell drugs." ”
"You have to be honest, just now someone recruited you and said that he handed you a cigarette, and that cigarette contained methamphetamine, and you really didn't smoke it?"
At that time, fifteen-year-old Wei Chenglin tried to calm down, and recalled that when the cigarette was handed over, it happened that Qiao Lin sent him a message, and in the dark, saved his life.
He also received a lot of inquiries, and he knew that if he lied, he would be wrong on top of wrong, so he honestly explained all the details. In a daze, he also went for a urine test and a blood test, and finally cleared the suspicion of drug use.
The moment he learned the result, Wei Chenglin had mixed feelings, if he didn't have that information, his life would be ruined.
At that time, he was not yet an adult, and he had no criminal facts, and finally ended in criticism and education from the police. An old policeman reminded him earnestly: "You don't know how frustrating people are when dealing with drugs, if you don't clean yourself and be vigilant, you won't have such good luck next time." ”
It was then that Wei Chenglin knew that someone almost put his life into it in order to save himself, and it was then that he learned that not all drugs came from the Golden Triangle, and it had so many channels that it was impossible to prevent it.
For example, further north from the port city, across a certain river, to another country, there is a well-established drug industry chain. In particular, in 2006, drug smuggling became more rampant due to certain changes in trade policies.
Of course, it's not a political economy paper, so let's not mention it, but focus on Wei Chenglin. The brother who used to regard him as his younger brother had close contacts with that side because of his language advantage, and this drug trafficking route that had not been opened up for a long time allowed him to have a sufficient supply of goods, thus becoming a low-key industry boss.
After learning this, Wei Chenglin was afraid again. If it weren't for the timely help of a good friend, I am afraid that I would have been shot and a fool.
Life is like a dream, if it weren't for a series of accidents, what would I be like now? Is it an accident or fate, this is an eternal philosophical proposition.
"Eh, boy!"
The policeman beckoned for the Nth time, and finally caught his eye. Wei Chenglin woke up at this time, and it turned out that he had been staring at the interrogation room for a long time.
After successfully completing the transcript, Wei Chenglin was praised by the police: "That person is a habitual offender, you must be the only one who has seen it, but only you have stood up, young man, your courage is commendable!"
Wei Chenglin pursed his lips and nodded slightly. He had vowed to be a brave man, and now that he had done it, he had not broken his word.
The police at the police station arranged for him to take the next train to Beijing, where he had to wait until 3 a.m., and the armed police soldier was going to the provincial capital, so he could just take the next train and leave.
Before leaving, Wei Chenglin thanked the armed police soldiers: "This big brother, thank you so much, if it weren't for your help, I might not have the courage to stand up." ”
"You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do. There are not many people who have seen righteousness and courage these days, and you are indeed very courageous and a man!"
“…… I have also taken many detours, done a lot of wrong things, and have been rescued by people in military uniforms. So when I see people in military uniforms, I feel very kind. Wei Chenglin's eyes sparkled: "By the way, the eldest brother upstairs in my house is a soldier and is still serving in the special forces, and the boys in our area can worship him." ”
The warrior joked, "You didn't want to be like him?"
"I've thought about it too...... However, I seem to prefer music and play the piano. Of course, if one day, the motherland really calls me, I will also be obligated to put on a military uniform. ”
This is Wei Chenglin's sincere words, after he finished speaking, the armed police soldier was also very moved, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "This classmate, you will definitely have a great future." ”
There are still police on duty late at night, and Wei Chenglin is not too bored. After learning that he was studying music, several uncles also asked him to play a few tunes, most of the songs they ordered were Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng's songs, even if Wei Chenglin couldn't play, but as long as they played music, he could play a rough follow, which scared several police uncles into a daze.
"Isn't this a prodigy?!"
Wei Chenglin smiled and said nothing, not everyone understands the concept of "absolute sound sense", this is the rice bowl that God has rewarded him, he has to hold it well, and he will never lose it again.
As the night deepened, an elderly policeman dozed off, Wei Chenglin packed up his things, and then tiptoed out of the duty room. The experience of this day was so fantastical, he needed to calm down.
The spring breeze in May is getting warmer, even in the middle of the night, there is a softness. There is a crescent moon hanging in the sky, like a pair of smiling eyes looking at the world. Wei Chenglin sat cross-legged, looked at it stupidly, and muttered, "It's really a drunken night in the spring breeze." ”
At half past two in the morning, the alarm clock rang, and a police uncle rubbed his face and wanted to send Wei Chenglin to the car. But in the duty room, only his luggage and guitar were missing.
The uncle wondered, where did this kid go? Several of them went out separately to look for it, and the small police station was quickly searched by them, and finally a young policeman discovered Wei Chenglin's traces.
The young policeman stood at the door of the men's toilet and made a gesture of silence. A few people crept over to listen and heard a passage in English that was not perfectly pronounced, but was extremely fluent.
His voice was very loud, probably because he was afraid of waking up the napping police, so he hid in the bathroom to carry it!
He memorized it so devotedly, as if he was preparing for the interview questions one by one, although it was in English, every word reached the ears of the police.
"Ladies and gentlemen,
Hello everyone, my name is Wei Chenglin and I am from Gangcheng No. 2 Middle School.
It was a very ordinary school, and I was the only one in the school who majored in composition.
Last year, I won the third prize in the amateur group of the Chopin International Piano Competition in China, which is my best result so far.
In addition, I have published several original songs, which are included in my personal portfolio.
***
I'm sure you've seen my resume, and yes, as you can see, my student career is far from perfect.
When I was a child, I experienced a brief period of glory when the piano was all I had, but after the unexpected loss of my father, I hated the piano and never wanted to touch it again in my life.
I was addicted to computer games, drifted away from my old friends, and almost went down the wrong path of crime.
However, I eventually came back and reconciled with my piano.
Because of the mistakes I made, my best friend's dreams were devastated, but he didn't blame me;
My mistakes brought shame to the school, but my principal still told me that my hand was an artist's hand;
When I was penniless, two famous musicians reached out to me and led me through the door of composing.
My debut novel was plagiarized but I couldn't defend my rights, I started a band but died prematurely due to lack of funds.
When all this happened, I was disheartened.
But every time I press the keys, I can hear the piano say, "Stinky boy, you can't give up this time!"
I won't give up again. For the rest of my life, I will never let go of its hand again.
It's been a part of my life for a long time.

One of my favorite cartoons is Japan's Slam Dunk.
The scene of Mitsui Kotoshi kneeling down in front of his coach and crying and saying, 'Coach, I want to play basketball,' makes my heart flutter whenever I think about it.
It was an anime that changed my destiny and it gave me countless powers.
I couldn't understand Japanese, but I was still impressed. I think that content created with heart can transcend nationalities and reach the bottom of everyone's heart.
I also want to make music that can transcend nationalities and empower listeners.
I've experienced brilliance, setbacks, and confusion,
And I am fortunate to have the best family, mentors, friends,
So, whether it's sadness and depression, or joy and excitement...... I can give them the most perfect interpretation of these musical moods.
I wanted to create music like "Until the End of the World", music that would make my blood boil whenever I heard it.
That's my goal.
I believe that I can do it, and I will do it. ”
