Chapter 1: The Fall of Hope
It's graduation season again, and the whole campus is filled with laughter and laughter under the bright sunshine, and students are everywhere taking pictures in their bachelor's uniforms, and the smell of youth overflows.
A black Volkswagen sedan drove towards the school gate from a distance, and on board were two middle-aged men with smiles on their faces, Qiu Zhiyong and his wife Zhao Lu. Zhao Lu's eyes couldn't help but light up when she saw the four big characters of Jinghua University in front of her, and she gently patted Qiu Zhiyong with her hand: "It's here, Fengfeng School has arrived, you drive quickly, don't let Fengfeng wait too long." ”
Qiu Zhiyong put his hands on the steering wheel, glanced at his wife, and said with a smile: "I've been urging all the way, I'm still in a hurry when this is here, it's the same to attend Fengfeng's graduation ceremony first and then pack up my things, not for a while." ”
"You, the father, are not here to pick up the child at all, or come to attend the ceremony, the child doesn't worry about it at all, and he wears a suit so seriously, I don't usually see you wearing it, do you think it's your graduation?" Zhao Lu scolded Qiu Zhiyong with a smile.
"Didn't I also realize my dream, although I didn't study at Jinghua University, but I was also a person who participated in the graduation ceremony of Jinghua University!" Qiu Zhiyong smiled and gave his wife what he thought was a perfect answer.
Jinghua University, a well-known institution of higher learning throughout the country, the university that many students yearn for, but it is not Qiu Feng's dream, Qiu Feng's mind was full of Ivy League schools when he took the college entrance examination, and he never considered domestic schools at all, nor did he think about taking any college entrance examination.
Qiu Zhiyong is different from his son, he doesn't want his son to study abroad, in his opinion, foreign universities are not necessarily better than those in China, and once his son goes out, he can't help much, it is better to study in China, and it is convenient to take care of anything, and he can help when the child graduates and finds a job. Moreover, Qiu Zhiyong was on the eve of his promotion at that time, and he did not want to affect himself and delay his political future because of the problem of his children's schooling.
Zhao Lu rarely agreed with Qiu Zhiyong on this issue, she didn't care about any political future, she just didn't want her child to be too far away from her, even if it was a little farther away in China, it was convenient for her to see her son, and it was a little troublesome to go abroad. The final result was that Qiu Zhiyong showed the majesty of his parents in the matter of going to college, and broke Qiu Feng's desire to go abroad.
Qiu Feng couldn't resist his parents and chose this famous school in China, which also made his parents high-spirited for a long time.
Qiu Zhiyong followed his wife's command and drove towards Qiu Feng's dormitory, the two of them were talking and laughing in the car, Qiu Zhiyong felt that he hadn't talked so much with his wife for a long time, he hadn't been with his wife for so long, and he hadn't seen his wife so happy for a long time.
Qiu Zhiyong thinks that he is impeccable in his work, and he has stepped up from the grassroots level to the position of deputy director, which is unique in the Mingzhou Provincial Police Department. Over the years, I don't remember how many big and important cases I have solved, how many merits I have made, how many awards I have awarded, and a cabinet of medals has become a beautiful scenery in my home.
But for his family and his wife, he always felt guilty. I have spent only a handful of time with my family over the years. When I was young, I was working outside every day, and I entrusted all the affairs of the family to my wife. When I was promoted, I began to keep staggering, and there were fewer cases and more entertainment, and I couldn't go home anyway.
At first, his wife didn't understand why he was so busy every day, but later she got used to it, and she didn't care if he was going to handle cases or socialize, and took care of the children and the family by herself.
Before, his sister was arrested for fraud when she was doing business, and she asked Qiu Zhiyong to ask him to help get people and was scolded by Qiu Zhiyong, and then Zhao Lu didn't count on him anymore.
Whether it is the children going to school or the elderly getting sick, Zhao Lu is dealing with it, and Qiu Zhiyong has never helped. In Zhao Lu's opinion, Qiu Zhiyong's biggest help to this family is his fame in the political circles, so that he doesn't have to be treated coldly when he needs to go to the government to do things, and other things need to be solved by himself, Qiu Zhiyong is unreliable.
What makes Zhao Lu happy is that his son is good enough, he has been studying well since he was a child, and he is obedient. The annual parent-teacher meeting may be a nightmare for some parents, but for Zhao Lu, it is the scene of receiving the award.
Qiu Zhiyong is also high-spirited when he mentions his son, although he basically did not appear in his son's growth process, but as Qiu Feng's father, his son's excellence is inseparable from his help and education, at least his son's excellent genes have half of his own credit.
Qiu Zhiyong was driving the car, and suddenly heard a loud bang from his left, so startled that he stopped with a foot on the brakes, turned his head and looked over, it was a delicate and immature face, lying in a pool of blood, and his two eyes were looking in his direction.
Qiu Zhiyong looked at the young man in the pool of blood and felt that his head swelled up for a moment, and his mind was blank, just staying there blankly, and suddenly heard a scream that tore through the sky, and woke himself up.
"Crown!"
Qiu Zhiyong saw a plainly dressed woman rushing towards the young man. Her body obviously couldn't keep up with the command of her brain, and the bluestone paved road under her feet was also hindering her body's progress. The woman fell to the side of the road, got up again and continued to run, and stumbled to the young man's side.
Qiu Zhiyong saw the woman kneeling beside the young man, and kept gently patting the young man's back with his hand.
"Crown, Crown!" she softly called her son's name, expecting a response, but no one answered.
Qiu Zhiyong opened the car door and rushed over, ran to the young man's side, he looked at the young man lying in a pool of blood, suddenly seemed to remember something, touched his trouser pocket, took out his mobile phone, called an ambulance, and then called his wife again, telling her to let her pick up her son by herself.
The loud noise attracted a group of people to surround Qiu Zhiyong and them, and soon after, ambulances and police cars drove over, and the originally quiet teaching building instantly became noisy, Qiu Zhiyong picked up the already wooden woman and went to the hospital together.
Sitting in the ambulance, Qiu Zhiyong looked at the woman in front of him, she was about the same age as Qiu Zhiyong, wearing a blue chiffon skirt, and her eyes were staring at the young man in front of her. Qiu Zhiyong knew that the woman didn't recognize him, but he was very familiar with the woman.
The woman's name is Xu Ting, and she is a family member of a martyr. Her husband, Huang Jifeng, used to be a soldier, but then transferred to a local area and became a police officer at the Mingzhou City Police Department. In a mission to lead a team to arrest a drug trafficking gang, he was fiercely resisted by criminals and died heroically to save one of his subordinates.
Huang Jifeng passed away like this, leaving Xu Ting with only a young son. Xu Ting did not remarry, and since Huang Jifeng's sacrifice, she and her son Huang Guan have relied on each other, and they have worked hard to pull their son to adulthood. Fortunately, Huang Guan is very sensible and competitive, which gave Xu Ting a lot of comfort.
Qiu Zhiyong once worked with Xu Ting's husband Huang Jifeng, after Huang Jifeng's accident, Qiu Zhiyong also wanted to go over to help Xu Ting, but Xu Ting politely refused, she is a strong woman, she doesn't want to rely on others to help her, and she doesn't want to embarrass her husband. Although Qiu Zhiyong didn't help Xu Ting much, he has always paid attention to Xu Ting's family. When he learned that Huang Guan was admitted to Jinghua University, he was even more excited than his son to be admitted to Jinghua University.
When Qiu Zhiyong came back to his senses, he was already in the hospital, and a young man in a green surgical gown said to Xu Ting next to him: "Please mourn ......"
Xu Ting stared at the person in front of her with her eyes, pointed to the operating room, and said fiercely to the person in front of her: "Go in, go rescue my son." ”
Seeing that the young man did not move, she suddenly grabbed the young man's collar and shouted: "I let you go in to rescue my son, do you hear, I let you go in to rescue my son." ”
In an instant, tears poured out of Xu Ting's eyes, Xu Ting had let go of the hand holding the young man, she was about to kneel down for the young man, Qiu Zhiyong and the young man hurriedly helped her up, Xu Ting said to the young man with a crying voice: "Doctor, please, save my son, save my son!"
Huang Guan was still not rescued after all, and Xu Ting had to face the reality of losing her son.
After returning to Mingcheng from Jinghua, Qiu Zhiyong didn't go home for a week, he locked himself in the office, didn't come out after work, and didn't see anyone except his secretary.
A week later, Qiu Zhiyong sat at his desk, looking at the file on his desk, but what he thought about was Huang Guan's suicide note.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I may have left when you read this letter, I told you before that my girlfriend who made me online cheated on me, and I can't graduate anymore, and she doesn't pay attention to me anymore, I don't know how I became like this, I don't know how to face you again, I'm in pain now, I'm tired, I want to rest and rest, I can't repay your nurturing kindness in this life, I can only repay you in the next life. ”
Qiu Zhiyong remembered what Jinghua's colleague said to himself: "Director Qiu, we visited Huang Guan's teachers and classmates, and the situation has been investigated, Huang Guan made a girlfriend online when he played an online game a year ago, and this girlfriend has asked Huang Guan for a lot of money for various reasons in the past year, and Huang Guan has borrowed money from many classmates and friends for this purpose. At the same time, because he was in love with this girlfriend, Huang Guan's studies were also affected, and the paper was not submitted in time, which affected graduation, and this girlfriend also evaporated, and various things came together to lead to Huang Guan's suicide. ”
"Knock knock", a knock on the door pulled Qiu Zhiyong back to reality from his memories.
"Come in!" Qiu Zhiyong said outside.
A middle-aged man in a police uniform pushed open the door and walked in and sat down in front of Qiu Zhiyong. "Looking for me?"
Qiu Zhiyong looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, he was of medium height, slightly thin in a police uniform, his emaciated face had lost its luster from the years of polishing, and his bronzed cheeks showed the precipitation of the years. The eyes of middle-aged people are very sharp, and it is often difficult to be pleasant when staring at people.
"Hmm!" Qiu Zhiyong looked at the person in front of him: "I have read the research report you wrote, the idea is good, not very realistic, it is your consistent style, using extraordinary means to fight cybercrime, very bold, very crazy, no wonder it will make your leaders think that you are nervous." ”
"It's not that I'm nervous, it's that the current way of working is no longer suitable for the fight against cybercrime, and now if I don't change it, it will really become a criminal empire, and I can't control it. I don't think I'm going crazy, it's that they're timid, old-fashioned, just thinking about getting promoted and getting rich, and they don't want to contribute to their work at all, they follow the old ways, and they are afraid that change will damage their own interests. ”
Qiu Zhiyong waved his hand to signal the visitors to stop complaining: "It's not a day or two that you don't fit in, whether they care about work is not up to you, and it's not what you should say if you only care about getting promoted and getting rich." Your father is my old leader, and you are the captain of the brigade at the age of twenty-eight, if you didn't look at anyone and speak unforgivingly, you wouldn't have stayed where you have been after so many years. ”
"The problem is not me, people go to tea and cool, my dad nods his head one by one when he is in the position, and my dad puts a shelf in front of me as soon as he retires. One by one, they only want to be promoted and make a fortune, how can there be a practical person, I am not surprised that they look at me unpleasantly. ”
Qiu Zhiyong motioned to the visitor to shut up again: "Hai Feng, I didn't let you come today to listen to what you said. ”
Qiu Zhiyong paused: "Don't you want a special team? You choose the people, you are the team leader, you don't have to worry about other things, I will do it, you don't want to go to war?"
"The special team, I choose people, break the region, break the organization, really let me do it, can they agree?" Hai Feng asked.
"I have transferred you, nominally in the communications office, not under the jurisdiction of the city bureau, the documents will then go to your city bureau, the special team is kept secret for the time being, except for the director of the department, only you know, it is convenient for you to work, you go to choose people, as long as you agree, whether you are a police officer or not, no matter who you can enter the special team. I have only one condition, there must be one person in this group who works with you, and you have the final say on the rest. ”
Hai Feng looked at the old senior, feeling that he was different from before, and he couldn't tell what the difference was, looking at his resolute eyes, Hai Feng nodded: "Okay, I'll do it." ”
Qiu Zhiyong nodded at Hai Feng and pushed the file to Hai Feng: "This should be your first case!"
Hai Feng took the file, opened it, and suddenly jumped up from the chair when he saw the photos inside: "Huang Guan, what's going on?" He felt his scalp tingle, and his eyes were fixed on his old senior.
"He committed suicide. Qiu Zhiyong tried to control his feelings, and said calmly: "But I don't think he committed suicide, in my opinion, he was killed, and your task is to find out the murderer and avenge Huang Guan." ”
Seeing his old senior gritting his teeth and saying that he wanted to avenge Huang Guan, Hai Feng finally understood why it was different, Hai Feng looked at the file in front of him, and remembered the young man who often smiled and was kind to people, he closed the file, turned around and walked towards the outside of the office, and when he walked to the door, he stopped and said to Qiu Zhiyong: "Don't worry, I promise to complete this task, and I will make the person who hurt Huang Guan pay." After saying that, Hai Feng left the office without looking back.
Qiu Zhiyong stayed alone in the office again, his eyes stared at the ceiling, and Huang Jifeng's former voice and smile appeared in front of Qiu Zhiyong's eyes again. Thinking of his former comrade-in-arms Qiu Zhiyong, he was sad again, and he muttered to himself: "Jifeng, I'm sorry I didn't protect your family, I'm sorry, I disappointed you." I will definitely make the people who hurt your family pay......"
