Chapter 4: Behind the Lie
13th District Metropolitan Police Department. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Gao Dakuan sat quietly in the office, staring blankly ahead. The female officer couldn't help but be startled when she pushed the door in, it was already night and the lights had not been turned on in the room, and she could only faintly see Gao Dakuan sitting behind the desk, and by the light seeping in from the door, the tall and wide figure outline was outlined, but the face could not be seen clearly, giving people an extremely gloomy feeling.
"Captain," the female officer whispered tentatively.
"Is the nine places connected?" a tall, wide, hoarse voice came out of his mouth.
The female officer nodded obediently and said, "I got in touch, Zhilan said that Tian Terrier will contact you later." β
Gao Dakuan didn't speak, judging from the head outline of his head, Gao Dakuan just nodded slightly.
"If it's okay, I'll go first," said the female officer, a little timidly.
"Well, go home and rest, take a hot shower, get some sleep, and forget about all the damn things. Call... It's been a really hard time for you these two days. There was a little more tenderness in his tall and wide tone.
The female officer's eyes were sour when she heard this, and tears almost flowed down her eyes. As the direct leader of the entire operation department, the pressure on Gao Dakuan's body at this time can be imagined, last night's operation Gao Dakuan led the special sheriff into the scene, and finally withdrew in embarrassment, and the two dead sheriffs were not even found.
After the operation, the rest of the special sheriffs were more or less mentally stimulated and sent en masse to a psychological rehabilitation center for psychological counselling, while Gao Dakuan stayed behind to solve all the aftermath work. Looking at the tall and wide vicissitudes of life and the hard-working figure, the female officer only felt inexplicable heartache.
"That's... Captain, you should go home early, too. The female officer said with courage. But this time, Gao Dakuan didn't even give her a nod in response.
Seeing this, the female officer had no choice but to exit the tall and wide office, close the door casually, and prepare to leave. When the door was halfway closed, it suddenly stopped, and the female officer said: "There are so many journalists who came to cover the investigation today that I blocked them all." But one of them, a female reporter named Janice, was very insistent on meeting and talking to you, refusing to leave no matter what she said, and she is still waiting downstairs, you see..."
"I see. Gao Dakuan said, without any emotion in his tone. The female officer stopped talking, closed the door and turned to leave.
After sitting quietly for a long time, Gao Dakuan reached out and picked up a picture frame on the table, and in the frame was an old photograph. In an age where real virtual photographs are so commonplace, this photograph with traditional techniques from hundreds of years ago is like an antique that can only be seen in a museum.
The tall and wide palms gently rubbed over the photo, and the eyes were full of a different kind of tenderness.
In the moonlight peeping through the window behind him, two people could be seen in the photo, one of whom was a little boy wearing a certain blue baseball cap and a baseball uniform covered with mud, but the smile on his face was sunny and full of heartfelt joy.
Next to the boy stood a woman in a white uniform, the woman was tall and thin, although the white uniform on her body was very wide, but it still could not stop the graceful and beautiful figure, and her long golden hair hung down on her shoulders. Since the moonlight didn't shine on her face, she couldn't see her face at will, but it didn't matter, everything about her was engraved in Gao Dakuan's heart.
The PMT bell rang suddenly, and Gao Dakuan put down the photo frame in his hand and connected the phone.
"I'm a terrier. On the other end of the phone, Tian Terrier's deep voice came from.
Gao Dakuan threw himself completely back into the chair, trying his best to relax, and then gently closed his eyes.
"Are you okay?" asked Tian Terrier, a little worried.
"Luckily, I'm not dead yet. Gao Dakuan said indifferently.
As if he had heard a funny joke, Tian Terrier chuckled lightly, and his tone was much more relaxed: "That's good." β
After just two sentences, the two fell silent.
After a long time, Tian Terrier said: "I didn't help last night's incident, I'm sorry, it's our dereliction of duty." β
Gao Dakuan said indifferently: "You don't have to apologize to me, I'm fine." If you have to apologize, it's better to say goodbye to your fallen colleagues. β
Tian Terrier was speechless, he knew that Gao Dakuan was rejecting his apology at this time, and at the same time it was a silent condemnation.
"We've been having some difficulties lately, and we've received information that there's a gang of blasphemous... The new humans want to do something against us, so we have stepped up our security, and now most of our people are concentrated in District 23. So..."
"You don't have to explain anything to me, really. Gao Dakuan interrupted Tian Jiao's words.
"Now that you have become a sheriff, you have to be responsible for the safety of people's property, even if it comes at the cost of your own life. We realized this from the day we took the oath of office, and that is what makes the sheriff great, what makes me proud. β
"It's you, since last night, that I really understand what you've been up against. Hehe, maybe I don't understand at all. Everything you have done is something that the world cannot see, and I am sorry that I had a slight misunderstanding of you before. β
Tian Terrier was silent for a moment and then said softly, "Thank you." β
Gao Dakuan continued: "In the next words, I hope to talk about the relationship between old friends and not about work, is it okay?"
Tian Terrier pondered for a long time and said, "Yes." β
Gao Dakuan opened his eyes suddenly, and said with this excited light in his eyes: "When you left the Metropolitan Police Department and gave up your job as a sheriff, was it because you had already learned the truth about the new human race at that time?"
Tian Terrier didn't answer, but silence was the answer for Gao Dakuan.
"Is it because of the incident ten years ago?" Gao Dakuan asked.
"Maybe it's earlier than that, but the whole thing is really related to the incident ten years ago. β
Gao Dakuan closed his eyes painfully, and said in a trembling voice: "So... Xiao Jing her... Sheβ" He choked up.
"It has nothing to do with her. Tian Terrier said.
"Xiao Jing and Xiao Wolf are just two victims. β
The tall and wide face was already tangled, and cloudy tears slipped down his cheeks.
"Thank you, thank you for telling me the truth. With that, Gao Dakuan hung up the phone.
After crying for a long time, Gao Dakuan wiped away the tears on his face. He stood up, straightened his clothes, opened the door and walked out of the office. He decided to meet the reporter named Janice, who had been insisting on seeing him. At that time, his identity will not be that of a senior sheriff of the Metropolitan Police Department, but of a different capacity.
As a husband, as a father.
Tian Terrier put down the PMT in his hand, his eyes showed great loneliness, sometimes it is really difficult to deceive, and it can make people feel painful.
Tian Jiao stretched out his right hand and said softly: "The reason why I have the appearance I have today is all due to Xiao Jing." β
