Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Man I Don't Want to See Again in This Life

Sitting in Mr. Chen's car, I looked at the decoration in the car and said with a smile: "In the end, it is a high-end car, and it feels different."

"Do you know how to drive?"

He asked me embarrassedly and said, "I have a driver's license, but the car doesn't drive well, and they don't dare to sit if I drive."

"Police, understandable"

He pursed his lips and smiled.

I knew what he was thinking and quickly explained: "Don't think that my driver's license is done through the back door, I learned it in driving school, but after the certificate was examined, I drove less cars, and now I am not very proficient."

"There are so many cars in your unit, why don't you drive them?"

"There are more people in our criminal police team who like to drive, so why should I go to join in the fun, just sit on it"

"Do you want to buy your own car and drive it?"

I looked at him and laughed and said, "Rich man, it's as easy as buying a car like buying a toy."

He also laughed: "It's convenient to go out and do anything if you have a car"

"That's right, but I don't feel the need for a private car yet, and now I go to work and go home to see my children, and there are not many things that I have to drive out by myself."

"Haven't you ever thought about driving out on your own? Don't tell me you cops never rest! ”

I smiled: "We're not a machine, why don't we take a break?" It's just that there are fewer holidays than others, and there is not much time I can control, and I don't have your freedom, not to mention that there are not many opportunities for school, children and the elderly to go out and play at home."

"It's been really hard to see you guys working hard these days, I only saw it in news reports before, and I thought it was a bit too much publicity."

"What you see is just the form of labor, what is really tired is the hard work, this case is not solved not only can not be explained to the superior leadership, but also can not give an explanation to the deceased, if such a murder case is not solved, it will be regrettable to think about it after many years"

He softly said "oh"

After a while, he asked, "Is there an unsolved case?" ”

"Yes, how could it not? It's just not much, we attach great importance to homicides, and the requirements of our superiors are that homicides must be solved."

I say.

He was silent, and I looked out the window in silence.

How could there not be?

The female taxi driver who was strangled to death ten years ago, lying quietly in the snow, still vividly remembers it.

It snowed so hard that night that she didn't bury the body, she stubbornly showed her face in the snow so that we could see her, her pale face, her eyes that refused to close her looking up at the blue sky after the snow, her slightly open mouth seemed to have a thousand words to say but couldn't speak, for a whole month we visited and investigated all the possible people involved but had no clues, ten years have passed and we may never know what happened to her that night!

These unsolved murders are like a black hole in our life, any time we think about it, it feels like there is still a demon hidden in this hole that we can't grasp, we can't stop it, but we can't do anything about it.

Thinking of this, I sighed and relaxed, leaning on the seat, he stopped the car, reached out for me to put the back of the chair back to make it more comfortable, and fastened my seat belt for me, seeing that he was so careful, I thought that men in the south are really different from men in the north.

"How do you speak Mandarin so well? Southerners rarely speak Mandarin so standard"

"I'm a northerner, and I went to college in the South"

He laughs and says he must have remembered the first time we met, when I thought he couldn't understand us.

I also smiled and said, "I thought the people who had the money to invest were all southerners!" ”

"We are a company limited by shares, not invested by one person, I am only responsible for the construction of this factory and the installation and commissioning of production equipment"

"What about after the factory is built and production begins? Just left? ”

I turned my head to look at him and asked, "Then I don't know, I have to listen to the company's arrangement, maybe stay, maybe I will arrange another special management person to manage"

The rapid cracking of this murder case made the criminal police team famous, and Zheng Duo showed his nose in front of the bureau leaders and county leaders, and his call for superiority was higher.

The county leaders were happy to praise the Public Security Bureau, the director was happy and rewarded the criminal police team with 5,000 yuan, Zheng Duo was happy, and the criminal police team found a 'farmhouse' and everyone had a good drink.

Jiang Xinya also called me and praised our criminal police team, I said, "Is it enough to just praise it verbally?" We've done a great job to your consultants, shouldn't you set a table to thank me! ”

"You're beautiful! As soon as I praise your tail, it will go to the sky, and if you want to please, you should be invited by Mr. Chen."

"Since you don't pull out a dime, don't pretend to be courteous here, your Mr. Chen's food is good, but we can swallow it! It's still your own coarse tea and light rice to eat with peace of mind, so I won't trouble your leaders."

There was praise and wine, everyone was really relaxed and happy for two days, although the line that Qi Jinjun and they chased had nothing to do with the murder, but pulled out the radish and brought out a string of mud, and solved a series of cases of stealing steel in the factory, which was not in vain.

After the victim of the knife robbery in the town came to his senses, he described the appearance of the two suspects, and Tong Guò touched the row to be two minors who had just dropped out of school, and robbed with a knife in order to raise money to play computer games, and the two suspects also quickly arrived at the case.

The cases were solved one after another, Zheng Duo's face became more and more relaxed, and his attitude towards everyone became more and more kind, Xiao Shen answered Zheng Duo's phone, and after hearing his gentle voice, he put down the phone and wrinkled his nose and said to us: "Sister Lin, there is nothing wrong with Team Zheng, right?" The softness of his voice gave me goosebumps when I listened to it."

I laughed and said, "You can enjoy it for a few days, it won't last long!" ”

When I was about to leave work, Zheng Duo called me to come to his office.

"What's the matter? Haven't all the case materials been reported? ”

As soon as I heard Zheng Duo call me, my head was big, the cases were solved one after another, and the leader's face was bright, but it troubled me, and all the openings above kept asking for materials, one would write from this angle, one would write from that angle, one would not have enough leadership and command, and the hard work of the police would not be reflected for a while, which would annoy me.

"Come to the office"

After saying that, Zheng Duo didn't give me a chance to continue complaining and hung up the phone.

Listening to his tone, it doesn't seem like a good thing, I thought about it for a while, and I haven't messed with him lately!

When I arrived at Zheng Duo's office, he pointed to the sofa and asked me to sit down, and the politeness for no reason made me inexplicable, I looked at him and said, "No need, let's talk about something quickly"

Zheng Duo leaned back in his chair and looked at me for a moment, hesitantly not speaking.

"What the hell is going on?"

I asked Zheng Duo strangely, but he looked at me directly as if he had made up his mind and said, "Wu Tianyang is here, he said he wants to see you, let's have a meal together in the evening."

I stood in the middle of the room, watching the shadow of the sun leave a shadow on the ground through the window lattice, how many years ago, after so many years, that person was only a shadow in my heart and was rarely remembered again, I didn't need to deepen the impression and let him disturb my already calm state of mind.

"What did he do when he saw me? There's no need for that."

I said indifferently, "It's been so many years, why can't you let it go?"

"I've already put it down, so I don't need to go to him and pretend to be generous, pretend that it doesn't matter, I and him are already strangers, so it doesn't matter if you see him or not"

Zheng Duo was silent for a while and said: "Wu Tianyang is doing well now, and he is also rich and powerful in Northwest City, he has said several times that he wants to meet you, and he has never forgotten you."

I immediately became disgusted and said, "Does this have anything to do with me?" ”

With that, he turned around and walked out of the office.

The eighth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar is the Buddha Bathing Festival, Jiang Xinya called and said that Hu Yali and Li Qiutong made an appointment to go to the Big Buddha Temple together to enter the incense, and asked me if I would go.

I said: "You and Hu Yali have too many things to ask the Buddha, so we are in a hurry to burn incense, this time the Big Buddha Temple is crowded, I will not join in this excitement, and wait for the afternoon when the people are dispersed and then go."

"Is it too late to go in the afternoon? Burn incense early, everyone else is grabbing the first pillar of incense! ”

"With so many people in the morning, who can the Buddha remember? There will be no one in the afternoon, and if you go again, maybe the Buddha will be able to see you and be happy to give you some benefits! ”

Jiang Xinya laughed and said: "It's really full of crooked reasoning and heresy, I also think there are too many people there, so let's go again in the afternoon!" ”

The eighth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar is the annual Buddha bathing festival, on this day, the big Buddha temple located not far from the west of the county is very lively, usually people who can't think of burning incense and worshiping Buddha all rush to the temple to worship a pillar of incense on this day, kowtow a few heads.

At this time, our security tasks are very heavy, the day is not yet dawn to work, people dispersed before evacuating, although the eighth day of April I did not rush to burn incense, but I usually go to the Big Buddha Temple from time to time to walk, I go to the Big Buddha Temple generally in the afternoon, I like the sunset when the temple in the quiet, such as the Buddha's huge golden body in the gradually darkening golden sunlight is quiet and quiet, I always stand in front of the Buddha, quietly look at his lowered half-closed eyes and hanging in the corner of the smile that seems to have nothing, It seems that he knows all the past causes and conditions in the world.

At this time, I stood in front of him, feeling that my heart was empty and clear, I didn't want to kneel to the Buddha and ask for anything, I didn't want to be a saint, a sage, right and wrong, right and wrong, the Buddha knew it in my heart, I also knew it in my heart, I was just an ordinary man, the Buddha knew, I also knew.

Mixed in this earthly world, my detachment is not pretending to be detached, and my indifference is not pretending to be indifferent.

Although the pain in my heart has never gone away, I am not afraid, and I will not forgive even if I no longer resent, this is who I am.
