Seeing Jiang Xinya walk into the office, I smiled and asked, "Why did Barrister Jiang come to the Humble House?" ”

Jiang Xinya waved at me, threw the bag on the sofa against the wall, sat down and said with a smile: "Come and see you, there are guests who come from afar and don't pour a glass of water?" ”

Xiao Shen took out a paper cup from the cabinet and put it on the table, put some tea leaves, and prepared to pour water.

I asked, "Do you really want to drink water, or do you want to sit down and leave?" ”

"Would you like to observe a little hospitality? It's just a glass of water, and you should pour it even if I don't drink it, right? ”

After speaking, Jiang Xinya said to Xiao Shen again: "Don't fall, I'll sit down and leave."

。

Xiao Shen smiled: "Sister Lin is really, a glass of water is so stingy, I'll give it to you!" ”

I sneered: "Don't waste resources, how can she have time to sit here and drink tea, don't delay people to make money, what's the matter today?" ”

Jiang Xinya also said no more: "Are you afraid that I will delay your time by sitting here?" I'm not looking for you today, I'm looking for your case handler to ask you about some things in Li Dequan's theft case, the case hosted by Qi Jinjun, right? Is he absent? ”

。

I haven't seen Jiang Xinya for a few days since we had dinner together that day, and we don't have any polite words to greet when we talk together, but it's not suitable for talking about too personal topics in the office, so she comes to me because she has something to say and leave.

Listening to her talk about the Li Dequan theft case, she must be the lawyer representing the case.

I laughed and said, "Oh, the suspect who collected the rags and stole by the way, he entrusted you with his defense?" Is his family quite willing to pay for it! ”

"This case is a legal aid case, no money is charged"

Jiang Xinya glanced at me and said.

"The case that doesn't charge money is handled so seriously, I thought you would just go through the motions!"

"Money has to be earned, social responsibilities have to be fulfilled, do you think that only you police are serving the society!"

Then she turned her face and asked Xiao Shen, who brought her tea, "Xiao Shen, do you police feel that everyone else is not a good person except the police?" ”

Xiao Shen put down the tea and said with a smile: "No, I think you are very good Lawyer Jiang, last year's case of Li Xiaojuan's theft of 50,000 yuan in cash from a neighbor was also defended by you for free, and you gave her a lot of clothes, I think you are a very good and sympathetic person."

。

Jiang Xinya giggled at me and said, "It seems that the eyes of the people are still bright."

。

Xiao Shen is talking about a theft case we handled last year, the suspect Li Xiaojuan has lived in a remote poor ravine since she was a child, and her family's annual income is not more than 1,000 yuan.

The landlord Wang said that he was going to buy a car this day, and went to the bank to withdraw 50,000 yuan to go home, he sat in the yard and counted the money, Li Xiaojuan was in front of him at that time, she had never seen so much money in her life, and her eyes had been following the landlord who took the money, watching the landlord enter the house, and secretly saw the landlord put the money in the washing machine in the house, Li Xiaojuan was like a demon, and she only thought about the 50,000 yuan in her heart, and she didn't sleep all night that day, and the next day she couldn't help it, and no one in the yard paid attention to sneak into the landlord's house and stole the 50,000 yuan.

The landlord didn't know that the money had been stolen, and it took three or four days until he found out that the money had been stolen and called the police.

After we cracked the case, when we found out the tightly wrapped 50,000 yuan from the coal pile in the yard, not only was there no one missing, but each piece of money was flattened and unfolded, and the victim couldn't recognize that it was his own money, saying that it was not so new when he got it back.

According to Li Xiaojuan's confession, after she stole the money, she didn't think of using the money to buy anything, but every day when no one was around, she took out the money and counted it, wiped the dirty places clean, flattened and rolled the folded places, and then carefully wrapped them and pressed them into the coal pile.

When I told Jiang Xinya, Li Qiutong, and Hu Yali about this case, everyone sighed for this woman.

I sighed: "In this society, we may not be tempted by 50,000 yuan, but what about more money? What about power? What about emotions? Who can guarantee that they will not make a mistake? One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, and looking back is a hundred years! ”

Li Qiutong looked at me with slanted eyes: "Who dares to guarantee that you won't make a mistake?" Do you think you're going to make mistakes? ”

"I can't make mistakes, I'm a saint!"

I laughed.

On the way home from work, I saw Zheng Duo and Qiao Qidong standing next to a huge off-road vehicle, I don't know what brand of car it was, it was taller than the off-road vehicle I had ever seen, and it was sprayed with army green camouflage paint, and what was even more exaggerated was that there was a hidden net of the same color on the roof.

In addition to Zheng Duo and Qiao Qidong, there was also a burly man with a short head and black sunglasses standing next to the car.

He wears a black T-shirt and a gold chain around his neck that is not much thinner than his little finger.

I glanced at him and felt a little familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was, and the man was looking at me fixedly through his black sunglasses.

I saw this man talking to Zheng Duo with one hand on the car door, and thought: This person has a sick brain!

Pretending to be an underworld in such a small county, I don't know who you want to scare?

Or is it really a local tyrant who wants to put this pedigree?

I walked over and patted the front of the car and asked, "What kind of car is this?" Why is it so big? ”

Before Qiao Qidong could speak, Zheng Duo raised his chin and said in a somewhat contemptuous tone: "Why, I haven't seen it!" ”

Because of the relationship for many years, we have never spoken politely between us, and we used to speak in this tone in the past, but somehow, I got angry when I heard Zheng Duo speak recently.

At this time, when I heard Zheng Duo speak in this tone, I didn't get angry, looked at the car with a sneer, kicked the wheels and said, "Is this 'Apache'?" Isn't it amazing? I took a few broken iron sheets and modified them, and I pretended to be scary in the underworld! ”

After speaking, they didn't look at Zheng Duo, and they walked away.

The next day, when I met Qiao Qidong at the gate of the Public Security Bureau, he tilted his head and looked at me and said, "What's wrong with you and Zheng Duo recently?" Talking is always-for-tat! ”

I said angrily: "I don't know what's going on with Zheng Duo now, it's always been weird lately, which makes people feel uncomfortable."

Qiao Qidong tilted his head to look at me and smiled lightly and said: "He is now actively asking for progress, his thoughts must be different from the past, he is now climbing and feels a little difficult, the mood is not very good, we can't help him anything, understand his current mood, help each other with something, don't worry about it"

。

I looked at him, shook my head helplessly and smiled: "I know, I'm not really angry with him, is the man standing by the car yesterday Qin Jiangbing?" ”

"Like, you don't know him? He remembers you! ”

。

"Oh, I said, why does it look familiar?"

Qin Jiangbing was also a well-known figure on the streets of Qingbei County more than ten years ago, and he dealt with our criminal police team a lot, fighting, stealing chickens and dogs, and he was also a demon king of the world.

Later, he got the wife of a friend, and the two turned against each other, knocking out two teeth during a group fight, and the gold teeth that were wrapped in the past were very eye-catching, nicknamed "Qin Da Golden Teeth"

, and now it may be replaced with porcelain.

Later, when I was older, I didn't make a fuss on the street, and I ran to a fresh fish restaurant by the East Lake Reservoir not far from Qingbei County, because the national highway passed there, there were many drivers who used to eat, and the quality of the fish and shrimp in the reservoir was good, and there were many people who went to eat in Qingbei County, and Qin Jiangbing regarded the reservoir as his own fish pond, fish, sell as much as you want, and give as much money as you want.

It's just one point, he only sells cooked fish and not live fish, which is also where he is smart, although the fish farmer is unwilling and does not dare to openly turn his face with him, he endures the stomach ache and passes.

After opening a few years of fish restaurant to make some money, he went to the mountains to open a resort, from time to time to get some game, recruit some people with heads and faces to eat there, somehow and a big leader in the province of the driver to know, the driver led the son of the big leader to his resort a few times, Qin Jiangbing is very good at things, when the son of the big leader came, he invited the county magistrate, the secretary to the resort to accompany, a back and forth and then he and the county magistrate secretary hung up, took the initiative to approach, the fight was hot.

Now his reputation in Qingbei County is no longer a gangster on the street, and he has changed to a high-level route, and has obviously become the head of the underground organization department.

Coming out of the case handling area, I saw that Zheng Duo was still in the office, and when I walked in, I saw him leaning back in a chair, his eyes staring at the computer but not on the screen.

"What are you thinking about sitting here? Why don't you go home when you get off work early! ”

"There's nothing wrong with going back, how are you asking about the materials?"

I smiled helplessly and said, "There have been a lot of messy telecom fraud cases recently, and I don't know what's wrong with women now?" It's so easy to be deceived, I met a man who claimed to be a big boss on the Internet, said some sweet words, and was deceived into giving a basket of 28,000 dollars without seeing it, I really don't understand what their long brains are used to think? ”

Zheng Duo smiled and said, "It's not just a woman, two days ago, the old man in his fifties in Youfang Village saw a small advertisement for surrogacy on the street, the advertisement said that he was beautiful and rich, but unfortunately his husband was not in good health and could not get pregnant, and he wanted to find a man to surrogate, and he would like to thank him again after the fact, didn't that old man also think that he had picked up a big bargain, and put 8,000 yuan on the scammer's account to be the groom for the beautiful rich man, and by the way earn some 'seeding' money!" ”

I smiled and said, "People, sometimes when you get caught up in one thing, your brain is not enough, and he can't see through the scam that others can see at a glance, and he will be deceived as a result." After all, it is still a little ghost in his heart that attracts these evil demons."

。

Zheng Duo rubbed his face with both hands and said, "That's the case, if you want to be cheap, you will suffer."

。

Then he looked at me and said with a smile: "Do you remember Qin Jiangbing?" ”

"Well, isn't that the guy who made a fake 'Apache' and pretended to be the 'underworld'?"

Zheng Duo smiled: "Don't be so mean, okay!" He still remembers you, saying that he would invite you to dinner sometime! ”

"I'll eat that meal with him, you don't give me those messy people"

I said coldly dismissively.

"It's just a meal, you're too serious, he's not the Qin Jiangbing he used to be now"

。

I stared at Zheng Duo for a while and said, "You and I both know very well what kind of person he is, and the people in Qingbei County also know his details, but he is just a charlatan who is swaggering and deceiving." Maybe he does know some county leaders, but who will really take him in his eyes, and those who can become county leaders are not human spirits, and they can't see through his little tricks. On the surface, he may be called a brother and a brother, but he may be able to take advantage of his ideas, which will really put him in his eyes. Don't say it's a big thing for him to do, maybe if anyone has anything to do with him, I'm afraid that in the eyes of the leader, they will look down on him, you are a policeman, if the leader thinks about your police and bandit family, don't you tarnish your reputation in vain? ”

。

"I didn't have anything to do with him, but I just ran into him that day, and he pulled me and Qiao Qidong to say this and that"

Zheng Duo said curtly.

"I think you'd better stay away from him, now the whole county knows that you are fighting for the top position, you get together with him, and you can't go up in the future, if you really go up, even if you don't have a penny with him, it has become his bragging capital, that kind of person puts gold on his face is not ordinary, then he has added a piece of swaggering capital to himself, but I have heard people say that he bragged about doing things for a small leader on the outside, how the little leader surrounded him like a dog and stammered his rumors, If he goes all over the world to brag about you, he did it for you, you just really sit in that position above and don't feel disgusting enough for yourself, who doesn't know the people of Qingbei County?"

。

Zheng Duo looked at me thoughtfully for a while and smiled and said, "I know this, and I still need you to teach me."

。

I sighed and said to him with a smile: "I just want you not to be like the old man who wants to go to surrogacy, and be obsessed with his own momentary obsession, in fact, for so many years, what you have done in the Public Security Bureau has been seen by everyone, and your efforts are recognized by everyone, among all these people who want to go up, your mass voice is the highest, if you vote, your vote rate is definitely more than 90%"

。

Hearing me say this, Zheng Duo laughed and said, "Oh, it's been a long time since I've heard you say that I'm good, is it sincere?" ”

I smiled and said: "Although I am very dissatisfied with your recent appearance, but I can't turn a blind eye to the good things you have done, if you want me to say that this promotion is none other than you, in fact, not only in the Public Security Bureau, but also in the society to know your people have a very high evaluation of you, if you want me to say, whether you can be a person or a police officer, you can do this, no matter whether you can go up this time, there is nothing to regret, do you remember Chen Yixiao's favorite sentence: 'Rather take from the straight, Don't ask for the song', although you don't have to be like Chen Yixiao, but the 'song' should also have a degree of 'qu', no matter when you think about it, don't do those things that will disgust you when you think about it in the future, you and I are not the kind of people who have no bottom line in life and doing things"

。

"After so many years, there is only one person you admire the most, Chen Yixiao, isn't it?"

Zheng Duo looked at me and said as he lightly pressed his fingers on the table.

I also looked at him and smiled and said: "I think you and Qiao Qidong are good, but everyone has their own way of doing things, Qiao Qidong's detachment, Chen Yixiao's straightforwardness are a kind of understanding of his own nature and his life choices, although it is different from you, it does not mean that we do not support your efforts to be motivated, you have this ability and this capital, we all want to try our best to help you, come on"

。

Zheng Duo scratched his head and smiled: "That's what people want."
