The moment I was brought into the car, I stood next to the car to the north, held the car door, and looked back at the funeral home.

The white butterfly flapped its wings vigorously and flew upwards, over the roof of the funeral home, into the sky, and merged with the gray sky.

The sky was still snowing, to be precise, a haze mixed with snow. They fall on the face to the north, melt, and then form gray marks. His face, like a clown.

In a few seconds, there was a smile on his face, and that smile was complicated. In the blink of an eye, a teardrop fell to the ground and fell into the snow mixed with sewage mud.

Such a day and such a place really make people excited.

Zhao Qingdong and Yu Chongming turned their heads, unwilling to have any intersection with this person, not even their eyes. He's a madman!

They are clearly self-inflicted. There didn't seem to be any of these people in Xiangbei's eyes, he was looking at a place, that place was far away, and he could only see it with his heart.

Anger or calmness is love.

"Fuck, when did this kid come to the funeral home? He also disguised himself and made up as a cleaner. is so capable, thinking that he is agent 007?Why don't you go to film "Mission Impossible"?!" Yu Chongming said indignantly.

"Boss, '007' is not the same movie ......as 'Mission Impossible'," a reporter interjected.

"You know a lot! Why did you coax him when you started it?" Yu Chongming scolded him back.

He was not the only one who was surprised, everyone was surprised by Xiang Bei's unusual behavior. Everyone has become accustomed to his previous persona - suave and knowledgeable - this is what a journalist should look like. Now this literati has become a macho man, and he is a macho man full of wisdom, which is difficult to accept for a while.

Zhao Qingdong cares more than this. He wanted to make a quick assessment of the morning's actions. Everything is being calculated, and the only thing that is not calculated is that there will be so many journalists.

No one knew that before the ashes placement ceremony, Xiang Bei had already come to the funeral home several times. He already knows the spatial structure, staffing, commuting time, etc., and even how to enter and leave, he has already calculated. The only thing that was not calculated was that there would be so many police officers.

Among all the people, there is only one person who has calculated - Qu Changguo. Because that's his game.

The ceremony begins at 9 a.m. Xiang Bei disguised himself as a cleaner and entered the funeral home more than an hour early. The cleaners here are all dispatched laborers, and there is a lot of turnover and they are not familiar with each other. In this place where the dead are gathered, there is no more than him, and no less than him.

The entire ashes interment ceremony is in the eyes of the north. He stood far away at the end of the corridor, bowing his head and sweeping the floor and cleaning the columbarium wall, participating in the ceremony in a special way.

The moment Zhou Xuecen took the urn, the broom in Xiangbei's hand slowly fell, his eyes stared at the small box, and tears poured out instantly. He seemed to be standing next to Zhou Xuecen, touching the box and the photo with her, which contained his own son.

At that moment, he had an urge to throw down what he was holding, rush up and hold the urn, and talk to his son again. Last time he was in the hospital, he had a lot of words that he didn't have time to talk to his children. At that time, Noyi was still alive, and he could still open his eyes to see what his father looked like. But now, he was only dealing with a small box, and he didn't know if he could say what he wanted to say but hadn't said.

The appearance of Zhao Qingdong and Yu Chongming calmed down Xiangbei. He knew what he was supposed to do. He swallowed the tears in his eyes and nose, and the taste was a little salty.

The most terrible thing about a man is that his tears can be collected and released. He's changed a lot these days, the only thing that hasn't changed is sanity.

After everyone left the columbarium, they quietly approached the north. The ceremony just now made the ground a little dirty, and he cleaned the confetti and footprints on the ground, and slowly moved to the urn.

That's right, this little grid is Nuoyi's, and he knows the photo above. He put his face on the north, kissed the photo, and put a small lattice baffle on the side of his face, which was a stone slab. The temperature in the corridor was not high, and the slate felt like ice.

He closed his eyes, as if he was back in that winter, the family was covered with a thick quilt, Nuoyi lay between him and Zhou Xuecen, shouting to set up a tent with the quilt, and then cover himself, while he hugged Nuoyi tightly, like holding happiness.

A child of this age has just ushered in the first rebellious period of his life, and he always works against his parents on weekdays, which makes the two of them very troubled. Hey, I can't help you, Xiang Bei thought about it and laughed, two lines of tears flowing down his cheeks.

The slate was cold, and the tears were hot.

Xiangbei wants to be like this all the time. But time is short, and he still has important things to do. The battle of dignity at the door of the funeral home made him hearty. On the way from the funeral home to the Hedong City Public Security Bureau, Xiangbei has been reminiscing. He rested his head on the back of his seat and breathed calmly, as if he had been reborn.

Luo Yuchen looked at Xiangbei from the rearview mirror, decadent, haggard, and his hair was messy, and he couldn't help but feel pity for him. This is a person of the same age as himself, and even has many similarities with work and family, but Xiang Bei has experienced more joys and sorrows, and human feelings than him. What a fate!

Xiang was taken north to the police station, and after completing the process, he was taken into the interrogation room.

At present, the deadline set by the city leaders is getting closer and closer, and no one dares to slack off. Xiangbei was caught, and at least he could sort out the case in this week, which can be regarded as an explanation to the leader.

The interrogation room looked unremarkable, empty and surrounded by blue crash pouches. In the middle of the interrogation room was a special chair, made of metal, with four legs fixed to the floor, and a baffle between the two armrests of the chair.

Two police officers will be escorted north to sit in chairs and fasten the baffle. Sit down to the north and take a look at the interrogation room. I usually see this kind of scene in movies, but now I have the opportunity to be there and experience it, which is really good. However, the interrogation room does not seem to be as tall as it seems.

Directly in front of the north, there were two policemen, one of whom was Luo Yuchen.

"To the north, I finally see you again. Hey, I really feel like we're late to see each other. Luo Yuchen opened.

"Really, how much do you miss me?" teased North.

Luo Yuchen got up from his seat, walked to Xiangbei's side, looked at him carefully, and after a long silence, he suddenly asked, "Are you a sports specialty?"

"That's right. ”

"What kind of specialty?"

"You don't know? I thought you had cleared the door of my research. ”

"This paragraph of your resume is blank. Luo Yuchen was very honest.

"Do you have to say it?" Xiang Bei's expression was embarrassed, as if there was something unspeakable.

"You can think of this question not as an interrogation, but as a chat between friends. Luo Yuchen said.

Xiangbei smiled and pointed to his seat: "Friend? hehe, there is such a friend?" However, I still don't want to answer this question, it's a little embarrassing. ”

"Then don't talk about it," Luo Yuchen turned around and returned to his seat, his expression returning to seriousness, "The interrogation begins. Xiao Li, prepare the transcript ......"

"I won't answer the first question, it seems too insincere," Xiangbei interrupted Luo Yuchen and hesitated for a moment, "My sports specialty is aerobics......"

After saying this, the air condensed, and suddenly burst into laughter, looking up to the north, Luo Yuchen and Xiao Li were already happy to roll forward and backward. Xiang Bei bowed his head awkwardly.

"Hahahaha, aerobics, haha. Mom, I'm laughing to death. Luo Yuchen almost laughed. The reason why I asked him this question was because I felt that Xiangbei's anti-reconnaissance ability was so good, like professional training, so I was very curious about his specialty. As a result, Luo Yuchen only guessed the beginning, not the end. This answer is too much of a test of human intelligence.

"Well, you know why I'm reluctant to answer this question," Xiangbei bowed his head, "I haven't mentioned my specialty to anyone since I started working. ”

"Oh my mother, I'm laughing to death. No, let me laugh a little longer. Luo Yuchen tried to control and control, but he still couldn't control it.

Xiangbei froze there, watching the two laugh. After a while, the two gradually returned to normal.

"No more smiling, no smiling. Luo Yuchen calmed down, "Let's get down to business." ”

"To the north, we have received a report that you are involved in several cases and therefore need to be interrogated. Luo Yuchen took out a stack of reporting materials and flipped through them page by page, "There are a few details of the case that I want to check with you again, and I hope you will actively cooperate and answer our questions seriously." ”

"I wonder who reported the crime?"

"Beijiang Evening News, I reported that you pretended to be in the name of the unit, and relied on the interview resources you have to trade with the interview subject and the interview unit, and you are suspected of extortion, fraud, bribery and other illegal acts. ”

"I understand......" Xiangbei sneered, it was originally a report letter on the Internet, but the newspaper took the initiative to take it, and it was really a chess master, this is a ploy.

Luo Yuchen: "I have compiled a few cases here, and you have to answer my questions truthfully." In November 2011, during the publication of the magazine "Beijiang Evening News Yearbook" sponsored by Beijiang Evening News, did you have any dealings with five companies, including Hedong Iron and Steel, North Heavy Industry, and Beidou Technology?

To the north: "Yes. I met these companies in interviews, and I used to report on them. ”

Luo Yuchen: "Have you ever sold them the Beijiang Evening News Yearbook?"

Xiang Bei: "The newspaper has a rule that we can't engage in marketing in our work. I just recommended the "Bac Giang Evening News Yearbook" to them according to the arrangement of the newspaper. ”

Luo Yuchen: "That means you have promoted this newspaper. ”

To the north: "I recommended it according to the deployment of the newspaper"

Luo Yuchen: "How many copies do these companies order?"

Xiangbei thought for a while and said, "There should be more than 10,000 copies in total, it's been too long, and I forgot the specific number." ”

"What's the total?"

"The retail price is 320 yuan a piece, and there should be more than 3 million yuan. Xiang Bei replied.

Luo Yuchen: "You said the retail price, but according to the information we have, you later returned part of the amount." ”

Xiang Bei: "Yes, there are corporate executives who have opinions. Later, according to their suggestion, the newspaper decided to change the retail price to the wholesale price, which was 20 yuan cheaper per copy. ”

Luo Yuchen: "In this way, there will be an extra 200,000 yuan?"

"Yes......" to the north without thinking.

Luo Yuchen: "But judging from the public accounts, it is still the price before leaving." Later, the more than 200,000 yuan was returned to the relevant personnel of these enterprises. In other words, the money is used to reward the people who make the newspaper order. ”

Xiang Bei: "I don't know about the reward, I just returned the money to them according to the contract that was later amended." ”

Luo Yuchen: "According to the report, you were involved in bribery. ”

Hearing the word "bribery", Xiang Bei's emotions suddenly became excited, "Bribes? impossible! I have never been involved in this money! I am just a matchmaker in the middle, as for how to transfer funds and so on, I have never been involved!"

Luo Yuchen: "Okay, whether you have paid bribes or not, we will investigate clearly." You don't have a problem with the whole factual process, do you?"

Xiang Bei: "Well, that's pretty much right. ”

"There is another case," Luo Yuchen turned out another material, "In February 2012, did a staff member of the marketing department of Beijiang Evening News ask you for help, hoping that you could help him complete the task of attracting investment in newspaper advertisements?"

"Many people have experienced this situation, after all, we have our own advantages. It's inevitable to pull ads. "To the north did not shy away.

"Pearl Pharmaceutical, you should know. Luo Yuchen asked.

"I know, this is a well-known pharmaceutical company in Hedong City. ”

"You've interviewed the company?"

Xiang Bei thought about it: "Yes, since I worked, I have been interviewed about ten times, which is a relatively familiar relationship. ”

"Later, you helped a colleague assign them advertising tasks? Oh, in your words, it's called pulling ads. ”

"It's not apportionment, I once recommended my colleagues to Pearl Pharmaceutical. ”

"This company reports that you are engaged in extortion. In other words, you ask the other party to buy advertising space on the grounds of reporting, involving an amount of 500,000 yuan. ”

"I'm ......" Xiang Bei was dumbfounded when asked, "This was all agreed upon by the two sides at that time, and there was no forced buying and selling, so how could there be extortion?" Besides, the newspaper has advertising tasks, although it has nothing to do with us reporters, but this is an unwritten rule of the newspaper for many years, how can it be counted on my head?"

"Xiangbei, don't get excited yet," Luo Yuchen said holding up the materials in his hand, "I still have a bunch of materials here to reflect your problems." If you're excited so early, you'll probably not be able to bear it later. ”

Xiangbei had expected this situation, but what made him unacceptable was that due to the suddenness of the incident, he was unprepared and could not refute these reports at all. Now, he finally understands what it means to be unguardable, not to mention that he was defenseless at that time!
