Politics, maybe it's so cruel, it seems that this time Qiu Luo Kuang is really in line with the will of the people, and he is determined to win. In Xu Lei's impression, there is nothing bad about this. Although she doesn't know some things, at least on the surface, Qiu Luokuang is still a very good person, he dares to think and do, he has courage, he has courage, and he talks endlessly, and he can be regarded as a talent. Once, when she talked to her old father about it, who knew that he was just laughing and saying nothing.

Politics is too complicated, and you are all too simple, so it's better to stay away. Otherwise, you'll lose yourself. At this moment, Xu Lei was sitting alone in the office, and suddenly remembered the words that her old father often said.

I'm going to jump out of this circle and do something really newsworthy.

So, what are these sayings worth really recording in our heavy land of suffering?

There is Xiongguan in the east here, the big river in the west, a majestic inner Great Wall crosses from east to west, and the two sides of the city wall are full of ancient battlefields of iron horse Jingo. What Gubeikou, Caoduo Mountain, Matou Cliff, Taizi River, what Golden Beach, Big Drum Tower, Tianbo Yang Mansion, so that in modern history, the wars that shocked China and foreign countries again and again have decorated this land with blood boiling and magnificent mountains and rivers. The story of a Zhao orphan has been passed down for thousands of years, the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone and will never return. In this land, for many years, there have been blood and tears, pain and joy, strange and poignant love and murderous devils...... To this day, in the green fields of thousands of miles, farmers can still dig out some swords, guns, arrows and halberds from the Warring States period from time to time...... The phone rang suddenly, in a thrilling manner. I can't say what kind of political news I was going to interview, Xu Lei was too lazy to pick it up, and she was too lazy to do this kind of senseless waste, so she waited for a long time before she reluctantly picked up the phone headset.

A very unfamiliar voice whispered on the other end of the phone: "Reporter Xu...... It's you, I—I have something to say to you...... I'm in a hurry......"

"Who are you, why can't I hear you at all?"

"I am, I am...... Hey, you've forgotten the name anyway...... Let's put it this way, do you remember that time ago, in a small restaurant in Jinshan......"

"A few days ago...... Jinshan ...... Small restaurant ......"

She tried her best to think about it, but finally she couldn't think of anything, and she felt a little unhappy in her heart. As soon as she talked about Jinshan, she couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, and immediately said obviously bored: "Tell me about anything, I'm very busy, and I have important interview tasks." ”

"Yes, yes...... But you have to listen to me...... That time in that small restaurant, there was me, and my friend, who was the one who picked up the rags, and we gave you a copy of the materials at that time, my name is Hong Yuanchang, and his name is Niu Er...... You must have remembered this now, right? ”

Saying this, Xu Lei really remembered it. But she wondered how this person remembered me and called the office after a long time. At that time, she had a good impression of Niu Er, and she was a little disgusted with this big man surnamed Hong. He said that he was Yang Bo's younger brother, and the ghost believed it, as soon as he heard this, he knew that he was an old oilman who had been in the society for a long time. Now it's hard for these uneducated people to say, should they be desperate to cheat me or something, right? While Xu Lei was thinking so crankily, she said as gently as possible: "Say, I remembered." You must have something to do with me, I'm really busy right now, I'm in a meeting. ”

The man surnamed Yang muttered on the other side of the phone again, and it seemed that he had made up his mind for a long time: "If I want to borrow some money from you, I will borrow it for a few days." ”

The fox's tail was soon revealed. However, it's interesting, and it's not a good interview topic. She tried her best to hide the unhappiness in her heart, and said, "Then tell me, how much do you want to borrow?" ”

“…… Three thousand. ”

"Nothing more, nothing less, not a problem at all. But I seem to remember, isn't Mayor Chen your brother, why didn't you go to him, but suddenly remembered me? ”

The other side of the phone was silent again, and it took a long time before he said, "If I don't look for him, I won't look for him even if I die...... I couldn't tell you all of a sudden. I'm so glad you can lend it to me. I saw that day that you were a good person. Actually, you don't necessarily have to take that much money, as long as you can come over for a while, maybe you can settle it......"

Xu Lei almost burst out laughing. Wow, not only do you want to borrow money, but also let me send it over, do you still want to "borrow" me as a person? It's beautiful! Let's see how he performs next.

"Well, I'll send it to you right away—but where are you now?"

"In ...... The police station is ...... Children's Road This is a ......"

When he said this, he seemed to ask someone around him, and there was a chatter on the phone.

It was only at this time that Xu Lei realized that maybe this person surnamed Yang was not a fraud, but really encountered some trouble. But with just such a statement, how can you completely trust someone you don't know? She had no choice but to groan, and even said that she would have to wait for a while, and she couldn't get so much money on hand at all...... Then he said suspiciously: "What are you doing at the police station if you have nothing to do, and what about that friend of yours, is he also with you?" ”

"I'm ...... Convict. Actually, it's nothing, it's that they say I've committed a crime......" The voice on the other side of the phone is getting lower and lower, and it is almost impossible to hear clearly, "I can't tell you about it anyway, I'll find out when you come over." You're a journalist and they're afraid of your ...... Do you say that my friend Niu Er, don't you know, he took in a paralyzed Sichuan woman, the family has no money, he wants to send the woman to Sichuan, and he has been pedaling a tricycle for several days......"

"yes, that'...... Why didn't he take the train? ”

"Money, how much does it cost, can he afford to sit down?"

Money, another word for money, Xu Lei suddenly fell silent, and she had nothing to say. Is a simple Chinese character really that important? It's important enough for a man to play for his life on such a hot day...... She felt her heart tremble a little: "That...... Where was he going to send her? ”

"Sichuan, I heard that it's probably Guangyuan ......"

"I pedaled the tricycle like this...... Sichuan Guangyuan? ”

"Yes. I said he was crazy too......"

The other end of the phone was still talking about something, but Xu Lei couldn't listen anymore. She didn't know how she sat down or where she sat down. The phone was tossed aside and beeped, but she no longer had the courage to pick it up again. From here to Sichuan, thousands of miles apart, a dilapidated tricycle, a half-paralyzed sick woman, and there is not a penny on her body...... The more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt, and even a little terrified. It's still the same newspaper, it's still the same office, but everything seems to have changed in an instant. In a trance, she almost thought that she had returned to the era of the desolation before the history of civilization...... Over the years, money has always been just pieces of paper that can be exchanged for things in her eyes, sometimes more, sometimes less, but she has never felt so keenly that these pieces of paper have such a heavy weight, and sometimes just a few pieces are enough to crush a person to death for a lifetime...... She then thought of Maupassant's "The Necklace" and also of "Sheep Fat Ball". Isn't she always looking for material, in fact, as long as you open your eyes, isn't there a moving drama going on everywhere in reality?

She couldn't care about anything, so she hurriedly borrowed a few thousand yuan from her colleagues and took a taxi straight to the Children's Road police station. At the same time, along the way, he used his mobile phone to ask the relevant leaders for instructions, and quickly sent another person to chase back Niu Er, who was already on the road...... However, when Xu Lei rushed to the police station, Hong Yuanchang was already gone.

You can see the tall blue brick wall from afar, and if it weren't for the dense barbed wire on top of the wall, you would think it was a remnant of an ancient city wall. When he got closer, Chen Jianqiu saw clearly, and there were two large iron doors with peeling paint and rust. It's really strange that as the so-called local parent official, he will come to check this place several times every year, but he has never looked at it seriously, and he has never left such a deep impression as today, as if every tile and every brick is so unforgettable, he wants to be deeply engraved in the depths of his memory for the rest of his life, and can no longer be erased.

When I entered the gate, I was faced with another wall, and the two lines of black characters on the gray and white wall were particularly eye-catching: You know what kind of place this is, what are you doing here. That's kind of interesting. However, this is still a detention center after all, and those who come here are only suspects in the case, and they are not criminals after all, at least not exactly, right? As for me, what am I here for, it's a normal visit. However, at this moment, he immediately understood that the person who wrote these two sentences was indeed very smart, and at once he destroyed what little courage and dignity you had...... When he came, Chen Jianqiu had already mustered up the courage for a long time, and repeatedly warned himself that in fact, there was nothing at all. In ancient and modern times, there are many such troubles. Especially in recent years, needless to say, all over the country, even in such a small place as Yanyun, there will always be officials of all sizes who fall by the arrow every year. Compared with them, Wang Xia's matter is really nothing, especially Zhou Yushan, who is in charge of handling the case, said a few words that made him think about it all at once: This kind of thing can only happen to us, and it can only happen at this time, and it can only happen once...... Isn't that clear enough? However, at this moment, when he really stood in this place, he once again felt deep remorse and pathos, because no matter what, this place still didn't come in!

The first time I met my wife after the accident, it was also in this place. That time, he was dizzy, his two legs did not obey the call, almost one step at a time, until he walked into a small room, and saw his wife's manly face through the iron fence, and he didn't figure out what was going on, and he seemed to be dreaming all the time...... Later, it was his wife's whimpering cries that woke him up. He jumped up angrily at that time, and slammed the iron fence with punch after punch, and he couldn't wait to rush in immediately and tear this stinky woman with a huge body and simple mind to pieces...... "Cry, cry, cry to death, save me from looking at you disgusting!" People have made you lose everything, how many big things are all bad in your hands, and you still have the face to cry, you- why don't you die?! ”

After venting for a long time, he seemed to have eased up a little and began to scold viciously.

Wang Xia also seemed to have cried enough, raised her head and looked at him with teary eyes, and said in a low voice: "Don't say anything more, let's leave, I won't drag you down......"

"That's a good point! Left, only now left, then what have I become? And you know no, you've dragged me down, you've dragged me to death! Now if you get a divorce again, you can only put a basin on my head again, and you still do public security! ”

"That'...... How do you say? ”

"Just spend it, it's where it is consumed - but let me ask you, why are you so greedy, you have done so much behind my back, and you are still crying poor in front of me every day, where did you dump all this money to?!"

Wang Xia began to cry again, but refused to say anything.

At this moment, Chen Jianqiu was even more angry, his body suddenly threw himself on the iron fence, and roared hoarsely: "You-you're dead, why don't you speak?" You're trying to hide it from me at this point. Say, are they all for your family? ”

“…… Family...... There is no ......"

"So—where can we go?"

"Donate...... All donated......"

At that moment, Chen Jianqiu really fainted, and suddenly collapsed to the ground, making a heavy sound. At the same time, Wang Xia, who was on the other side of the iron fence, screamed like something huge had broken, and the torn cloth resounded throughout the detention center...... The staff who had been waiting outside thought that something had happened, and they all rushed in with panicked expressions.

For several days, Chen Jianqiu has been thinking about this question, why she is doing this, she has always wanted to figure out this woman who has been with him for nearly 20 years, but she has never understood. According to her, he took a few people who were handling the case back to the house and opened the safe that his wife had kept secret for so many years. Looking at the piles of remittance receipts and the few letters, the eyes of everyone present widened...... Over the years, this safe resting next to the bed has been a treasure of his wife, always opened secretly, and never let him see it once. Although his wife always said that there was nothing else there, just some materials for her case, Chen Jianqiu didn't believe it at all, there must be other secrets, such as love letters or something...... However, how could he have imagined that there would be such a bunch of things that make people feel so emotional and cry and laugh?

Over the years, I can't say what the reason is, he really hasn't cared about this wife, and he rarely even pays attention to it. My wife is just a cook, a nanny who doesn't spend money, and a machine that can "that...... And just at these few points, my wife is also very unqualified, she left the house early in the morning and couldn't come back at all before midnight. If there is a case, it will be even more hourly, and it is often rare to see a shadow for several days. He couldn't have imagined that her heart was so rich and deep, as deep as a well, no matter how you lie on the edge of the well, although a cold air from Qingling Ling Ling is rushing up, but you can't see anything in the dark...... Perhaps, she is paying off a debt, if it weren't for such a kind person back then, she wouldn't be where she is today.

Or is she looking for a sense of solace, using an illusion to fill her dried-up heart?

Was it because of her family's failures that she was looking for comfort elsewhere, or was it because of her actions that her family failed?

Moreover, no matter what, you are also a law enforcement officer, how can you be like this, not to mention that the means are so bad, according to Bai Guojiang, he was forced to deceive him with a baton, isn't this an open fire and stubborn blackmail?

Chen Jianqiu thought about it, but he couldn't think clearly, as if there was a very hard and invisible thing between them, so that he would never be able to enter that strange world.

He was also rummaging around the house, hoping to find a single piece of paper, and it would be better if there was a thick book with neat handwriting. Later, some reporters heard the news and came from all over the country one after another, and also helped him turn his home upside down. Of course, the most touching thing is that those who have been helped by their wives, whether they are husbands and pawns or students and singers, all come to their doors one after another, keep inquiring for news, asking to see the special case team, asking to participate in the hearing when the trial is held, and soon make a book signed by 1,000 people, which was sent to the intermediate court...... In such a kind of boiling, if you can find such a book, and there are a few paragraphs in the book, you can find out what kind of color, then it is a completely different situation. Even if it is impossible to become a hero again, it will not be a problem to cover the limelight of this case...... There were many nights when Chen Jianqiu was praying silently like this.

But, unfortunately, my wife is obviously a master who can't speak, not only does she not have a good habit of remembering, but she doesn't even have a few words of rhetoric, only a bunch of remittance slips that can't speak, and most of the money on it is a fake name that makes people laugh dumbly, what two girls and three aunts and the like, if it weren't for those who were addressing Tiannan Haibei, I'm afraid she really thought she was helping her relatives.

Today is the third day of the opening of the National People's Congress. The NPC session will be held for a total of 10 days. It's been 10 thrilling days. It's so unexpected, it's going to be a mess, I didn't expect it to be such a situation, how to develop next, it's really unimaginable and chilling...... Although the case has been made public, and Wang Xia has already agreed, whether it is him or others, they almost unanimously believe that there must be many more terrible and terrifying things hidden behind this - as for what it is, it depends on whether this confused and stubborn wife is willing to speak.

Thinking like this, Chen Jianqiu sat down on a chair and waved his hand, and the two guards retreated very consciously.

His wife also came out, sat down across the iron fence, and looked at him silently.

After all these days, my wife's mood seems to be much better, and she has not lost weight at all, and seems to be fatter than before...... It's no wonder that all the guards in here don't recognize her.

He hesitated, not knowing what to say or where to start.

My wife is a clumsy person and likes to admit death, so it is not easy to pry her mouth open. And Chen Jianqiu knows very well that the reason why she never talks about other people's affairs now is mainly because she is afraid of adding guilt to herself, and at the same time, she is still very grateful to Bai Guojiang, if this thing is not broken, she will not say anything.
