As for Lao Leng's case, Brother Ren knew that I was wronged at the earliest, so I was only interrogated twice in accordance with the usual practice, and the content of the questions was also some details and processes on the day of the crime, and even some irrelevant transcripts were directly prepared and used for me to sign。

During the time I was waiting in the hospital, my heart was full of torment, to be honest, I really wanted to return to my identity as a normal person, but at the same time, I didn't want to see the day when the real murderer was caught, because when I got rid of the crime, it also meant that Brother Hulu was in prison.

Faced with this opportunity for him to exchange fate for me to be reborn in Nirvana, I really felt helpless and at a loss.

How can you repay such a heavy kindness?!

After lying in the hospital for three days, I was awakened in my sleep by the deafening sound of firecrackers outside the window.

Before you know it, another year has come.

The Spring Festival seems to always be a thorn in my heart.

Thinking back to last year's 29th lunar month, because my uncle forced my grandmother's savings to buy a car for his daughter, I had a big quarrel with him at home, and therefore moved, when others were reunited, I was alone on the streets, and finally Ah Zhen took me in, went to his house to have a reunion dinner, I will never forget last year's Spring Festival, when the lights outside the window were bright, and the country was orange and red, I stood alone in front of the window of the hotel, holding instant noodles in my hand, facing the Spring Festival Gala and not knowing the taste.

Now it's another Spring Festival, I'm still alone, the Ah Zhen who once pulled me to have a reunion dinner with me, has been separated from me forever, and there is no turbid wine to talk about brotherhood.

The ward that Brother Ren arranged for me is the highest standard room in the public security hospital, and it is not simply used to detain prisoners, so all the utensils in it are very complete, although because of my identity, the room is equipped with signals* and closed-circuit monitoring, but the TV can still be used, and throughout the day, I turned on the TV to a very high volume, watching the countdown program of the Spring Festival Gala, and it lasted until the evening.

During the Spring Festival this year, there were no dumplings at the dinner of the Public Security Hospital.

……

Night, half past eleven.

The New Year's spirit has been gradually set off.

'Boom!'

'Crackle!'

'Boom!boom!'

‘……！’

With the sound of firecrackers outside the window, I sat in the ward, and I couldn't even hear the sound of the Spring Festival Gala clearly, according to the customs of the north, this firecracker sound is the signal for the beginning of the reunion banquet, which means that the dumplings are beginning to go to the pot.

I turned my head to look at the fireworks outside the window, slowly closed my eyes, and forcibly held back the tears that came out of my eyes.

I don't know if those brothers who died have been commemorated.

'Bang!'

As the countdown bell rang in the Spring Festival Gala, I sat on the hospital bed, along the window on the ninth floor, looking at the fireworks outside in a daze, the door of the ward was pushed open, and then Brother Ren walked into the ward with a cloth bag in his hand, and smiled at me: "Happy New Year!"

"Brother Ren, why are you here?" Seeing Brother Ren enter the door, I stretched out my hand and wiped the corner of my eyes indiscriminately, with an incredible expression.

"Hehe, this is the New Year's Eve, I can't let you be alone in the hospital for the New Year's Eve, don't you have to come over to accompany you!" Brother Ren smiled, and then took out a thermos bucket in the cloth bag and put it at the head of the bed: "This is your sister-in-law's dumplings, there are pork and mutton, I don't know if you are taboo, so I took some of everything, and you eat it while it's hot." ”

Looking at the thermos bucket in Brother Ren's hand, I suddenly felt a warmth in my heart: "This is the New Year, you come to accompany me, what should the family do?"

"It's okay, I'm doing this job, and I don't go home for the New Year, but this year is not bad, at least I can have a reunion dinner with my family." After Brother Ren helped me set up the dumplings and vegetables in the lunch box, he took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to me: "Eat while it's hot, today is the Chinese New Year, it stands to reason that I should bring you some wine and drink with you, but the public security hospital is strictly controlled, and your physical condition does not allow it, let's make it simpler." ”

"Brother Ren......" I looked at Brother Ren and suddenly spoke very emotionally.

"What's wrong?" Brother Ren, who was pouring vinegar into the dishes and was going to eat dumplings with me, asked casually.

"Thank you!" I looked at Brother Ren and spoke very seriously.

", what kind of routine are you?" Brother Ren was amused by me: "What's the matter, I've sent you dumplings, and you still want to cheat me into some New Year's money, okay, then you knock me one, and I'll give you two hundred yuan!"

I also squeezed out a smile: "Let me kowtow to you for the New Year, what's the matter, you want to recognize me as a son-in-law?"

"You roll my calf, my daughter is only six years old!" Brother Ren scolded with a smile, and then stretched out his hand to point to the food on the table: "Eat quickly, it will be cold in a while!"

"Hey!" I nodded, picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into my mouth, but when it reached my throat, I couldn't swallow it, I don't know what's wrong, and two lines of tears flowed silently down the corners of my eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is the New Year, are you here! Your sister-in-law's cooking is so unpalatable, and it makes you squeeze out a few drops of cat urine?" Brother Ren saw me shed tears and deliberately made a joke.

"At this time last year, I was on the top floor of the Lantian Hotel, eating dumplings with Brother Hulu. "I remembered that during the Spring Festival last year, I carried a beer and went to the roof of the hotel to find Brother Hulu, but I bumped into him on the roof of the building to pay tribute to his wife and children, and suddenly felt sad: "Last year, during the Chinese New Year, the two of us were still playing cards together, and the pit history was just their money, and it was ...... in a blink of an eye" I choked up again halfway through my words.

"The year will come to an end, and no one will return. When Brother Ren saw me like this, he also sighed, then lit two cigarettes and stuffed one of them into my mouth: "Before I came over today, your eldest brother called me, but I didn't answer, so he went to my house to block me, and I happened to meet me and I was going to come to the hospital to see you." ”

'Brush!'

When I heard that Brother Dong had gone to find Brother Ren, I suddenly raised my head.

"For your business, the people of Shengdong Company did not go home for the New Year, your eldest brother took Guohao and Yang Tao and Shi Yigang to say that they wanted to come to see you, but I stopped them, your eldest brother saw that it was hard, and he came to me softly, and began to beg me, but I also refused. Brother Ren rubbed his face: "Although you seem to be calm on the surface after I brought you back to Anyang, your case has not yet been finalized, and any mistake will put you in danger, so in this case, I can't let you contact him, so as not to leave people behind." ”

"Well, I can understand. ”

Brother Ren smiled and stretched out his hand to the window: "Stand there and take a look downstairs." ”

After listening to Brother Ren's words, I pulled on my slippers, endured the sharp pain in my ribs, and walked to the window step by step.

'Boom!'

As soon as I stood at the window, the sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded downstairs, and then the firecrackers and fireworks began to 'crackle' non-stop, and the firecrackers burned brightly as day.

On the edge of a row of ceremonial flowers, Dongge's BMW X6 and Guohao's Cruiser were parked quietly, and in front of the car, Dongge, Guohao, Yang Tao, Shi Yigang, An Tong, Zhou Tong, and Zhao Huaiyang lined up, looking at the direction of the window.

"Phineas!Happy New Year!!"

"Happy New Year!"

“……！”

With Yang Tao waved his hand, Shi Yigang and An Tong pulled their throats, and howled hysterically, we were separated by the height of a nine-story building, and as soon as their voices came out, they were swallowed up by the sound of firecrackers around them, but I don't know why, the sound of their shouts seemed to be shouted into the bottom of my heart.

In the crowd, Shi Yigang was like a fool, constantly waving at my side, as if he was afraid that I would not be able to see him.

At the window, I looked at these brothers who had been born and died with me, and I couldn't stop crying.

……

I was twenty-three years old and spent the New Year in the Public Security Hospital.

Since I stepped into the society at the age of nineteen, I have been mixed in the rivers and lakes that I once longed for for five years, and I have experienced too much in these five years, I have forgotten what I have gained, but I can clearly remember what I have lost.

On the 14th day of the first month, my detention notice was officially issued, according to Brother Ren's meaning, I wanted to stay in the hospital for one more day, to see the fireworks outside, so as not to be too depressed by a person's cranky thoughts, but I refused Brother Ren's request, I don't know why, at this time, for the depressing atmosphere in the detention center, as if I was rushing, I just wanted to hide and be quiet.

I'm scared of the buzz.

At my repeated insistence, on the afternoon of the 14th day of the first lunar month, I was sent to the city detention center for detention.

Because the relationship between Yu and Brother Ren in the detention center is very close, my detention process is as simple as Yuan Qi sending me to Yao Ping, the physical examination and everything are exempted, and I was directly approved to enter the prison, and the person who sent me to the cell turned out to be Yin Xiaopeng.

"Are you on duty today?" This is the first thing I said after I met Yin Xiaopeng, there was no New Year's greeting, because this year, I was not happy, so I didn't want to bring false greetings to others.

"I'm on a fart shift, I heard that you were sent in today, and I came here to work overtime. Yin Xiaopeng grinned and led me through the corridor and in the direction of the prison area.

"Xiaopeng, thank you for my incident this time, if it weren't for you, I might have confessed to Yao Ping's detention center. ”

"There's no need to talk about that between the two of us. Yin Xiaopeng obviously didn't take my words to heart: "If it weren't for your help, wouldn't I be distributing newspapers in the bureau's archives now, Xiaofei, my ability is limited now, and I will definitely not be able to intervene in your case, but for these things that I can, I will definitely do my best to help you, because we are brothers!"

"Hmm. I nodded slightly, I didn't expect that I could become a brother with someone other than a bastard.

"I've already said hello to a colleague and asked him to take my annual leave, and these days, I've been with you in the office, what you want to eat, what you want to drink, just tell me, if it's boring, I'll bring you up, take you to my office, let's talk or something. As Yin Xiaopeng spoke, he took out two packs of China in his pocket and handed me a lighter.

"I'm sorry for your trouble!"

"It's not troublesome, by the way, your eldest brother saved a sum of money for you, but I didn't put it in your account, it was all put together with the sundries you stored when you were in prison, and now that you have come to my territory, how can I let you spend money," Yin Xiaopeng smiled again.

While talking, the two of us had already walked to the door of a cell, and then Yin Xiaopeng stretched out his hand and smashed the door of the cell hard: "Where's the number?"

"Yin Jiao, what instructions?" a prisoner in the cell stepped forward to ask politely.

"My brother, take care of it! If something goes wrong, I'll pick your skin!" Yin Xiaopeng looked at the cell commander and explained in a loud voice.
