After eating, Lu Zheng said to Xia Xing: "Chest tightness, want to go out for a walk, Uncle Xia, go together?" ”

After all these years of summer travel, I haven't met anyone who is willing to chat with me, but I have a good impression of this young man, so I happily nodded and agreed.

Seeing Lu Zheng and Xia Xing getting together, Lu Xiaoping muttered in a low voice: "Two rebels!" Now that the remnants of the turmoil are being cleared, and the young people hate the rebels, Lu Xiaoping naturally feels that Xia Xing is a class enemy, and Lu Zheng is not much better. Originally, she felt that Lu Zheng, who was fostered in her family, ate her family and drank her family, so she was naturally inferior to her.

Lu Zheng and Xia Xing had just left the gate of the family courtyard, and there was a sound of footsteps behind them, but Tong Susu also followed, pointed to the streets and alleys of the guide, and said, "Uncle Xia, it's too dark, I'll go to the consignment to buy something, will you accompany me?" ”

Xia Xing has a good impression of Tong Susu, the daughter of a high-ranking official in the city, but she is kind, she has no shelf, and she has never looked down on the countrymen.

Xia Xing was about to agree, but Lu Zheng pointed to the north and said, "Uncle Xia, let's go to the river for a walk." He said to Tong Susu again: "Susu, you call Brother Zhou to accompany you, we don't go by the way." ”

As he spoke, he didn't care about Tong Susu's reaction, so he walked north, and Xia Xing hesitated and followed.

There are not a few street lamps in the family courtyard, but every house is lit up, and it is not dark in the alley. ”

Lu Zheng felt a sigh in his heart, but he didn't want to look at Xia Xing's silence, but he was observant, and he didn't blame him for being a public security officer for more than 20 years, and he really had some skills.

However, Xia Xing naturally couldn't imagine that it was not Tong Susu who resisted, but Tong Susu who resisted joining them, so it would be inconvenient to speak.

Sighing, Lu Zheng said: "I was a rebel when I was a child, and I also took children to criticize her, and now she is like a star holding the moon, I think, I should have less contact with her, Uncle Xia, don't you say?" ”

Hearing the word "rebel", Xia Xing's eyelids jumped, he was silent, and nodded a little heavily.

"Uncle Xia, I heard that you are an old policeman?" Lu Zheng asked tentatively.

Xia Xing shook his head, obviously not interested in this topic.

Lu Zheng tried a few more words, wanting to lead the topic up, but Xia Xing was silent.

The two gradually came to the north end of the family area, across a lime road, is the moat, the riverside is planted with weeping willows, a bright moon reflected on the water, sparkling.

Lu Zheng took out the cigarette, handed it to Xia Xing, and took out the lighter to help him light the cigarette.

Both of them smoked cigarettes, and both were somewhat silent.

Lu Zheng originally hoped to trap the words of this old public security officer, but now it seems that he is afraid that he is going to change his strategy, Lao Xia is surprisingly sensitive and alert, and his words are not so easy to handle. Originally, the rebel in Lu Zheng's mind must have been more reckless, and the blow to his career would make him cautious and not dare to mention the past, but he didn't want to, this person was completely different from the image he sketched.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Zheng broke the silence, "Uncle Xia, in addition to visiting relatives today, I mainly want to visit you. ”

Xia Xing didn't expect this, he was stunned, and asked in surprise: "Meet me?" ”

Lu Zheng nodded slightly, "Uncle Xia knows about the 615 case, right?" As you've probably heard, we've been blocking news so as not to panic, but in fact, since last summer, there have been three cases of corpse dismemberment and body dumping, and, judging from the modus operandi, it was preliminarily determined that it was a serial murder case committed by one person. ”

"As for me, I am the deputy leader of the 615 task force, my name is Lu Zheng, the deputy political commissar of the county bureau and the chief of the public security section, Uncle Xia should know me, right?"

If there are old friends in the county bureau, they may also mention themselves to him, after all, when he first came to Quang Ninh last year, it caused a great shock within the public security system.

Stunned by the series of news, Xia Xing stared at Lu Zheng in a daze, for a while, and nodded slowly, "Ah, by the way, Lu Zheng, I said that this name is a little impressive, it turns out to be you." But what do you want me to do? Speaking of this, he frowned slightly: "Do you think I'm a suspect?" ”

Lu Zheng smiled: "How come, Uncle Xia, you forgot, I was also a rebel back then, and I won't demonize ourselves." ”

Summer is silent.

Lu Zheng said: "That's Uncle Xia, now our task force has a breakthrough, that is, Zhang Guoliang, the principal of No. 1 Middle School, I checked Zhang Guoliang's previous files and found that Uncle Xia also investigated him back then, I hope Uncle Xia will do me a favor and tell me about the situation back then." "Saying that the task force has found a breakthrough is naturally a bluff, so as not to worry too much about the summer trip and be cautious.

Xia Xing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I don't have anything to say about the past, you can check the file that should be recorded." ”

Lu Zheng knew that he still refused to say, thought for a while and said: "Uncle Xia, you are an old public security, I believe that there will be a fire in your heart, catch the fire of criminals to keep one side safe, in that fanatical era, we don't have to mention who is right and who is wrong, it is a tragedy caused by the political climate, but we can't be secretive about the affairs of that era just because we are looking forward, in particular, it is likely that a murderer will get away with it because of this." ”

A hint of confusion flashed in Xia Xing's eyes, but he just shook his head, flicked the cigarette butt into the river, and said, "Let's go back." ”

Lu Zheng was in a hurry, he didn't expect that the oil and salt would not enter in the summer, just like the stones in the pit were smelly and hard.

Stretching out his hand to stop Xia Xing, who wanted to go back, Lu Zheng hesitated slightly, and said: "Uncle Xia, I won't hide it from you, Zhang Guoliang is what I want to investigate, and the suspect identified by the task force is called Li Weijun, and now, he is ready to send him for inspection, and he is likely to be wronged." ”

"Uncle Xia, after so many years of public security, you understand, although Li Weijun is only three words, behind these three words, there is a living person with flesh and blood and family who has broken his liver and intestines. Can you watch him just die like this, while the real murderer hides in the dark and sneers? ”

Xia Xing was really stunned this time, looked at Lu Zheng, and said in disbelief: "Are you going to investigate Zhang Guoliang yourself?" ”

Lu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "I won't tell you, my current situation in the bureau is not good, although I am named the deputy head of the task force, but I am just a trickster, and it will not affect the progress of the investigation of the case." But I thought the case was too suspicious, so I was investigating it myself. ”

Xia Xing stared at Lu Zheng and said lightly: "Don't you know that if you do this, even if you investigate the results and offend your colleagues in the overall situation, there may not be any haode results?" Sometimes, the truth doesn't matter. ”

Lu Zheng nodded slightly and said, "I know." ”

Xia Xing smiled, how much did the young man in front of him look like when he first joined the police force? Passionate, I just want to explore the truth.

Xia Xing finally nodded, "Okay, what do you want to know?" ”

……

Xia Xing went back first, and Lu Zheng smoked a few more cigarettes on the riverside before slowly walking back.

During the autopsy, a large number of undigested sleeping pills were found in the stomach of Principal Zhang's wife, and it was hard to believe that a person would commit suicide in two different ways, and that Principal Zhang's wife had an affair with someone, and Principal Zhang also had enough motive to kill.

In fact, during the interrogation of Principal Zhang, Principal Zhang sometimes laughed wildly, sometimes cried, scolded his son for not being human, and began to confess in a crazy way. Although the preface of the narration does not match the afterword, from the ambiguous context of the language before and after, it is completely possible to further break through his psychological defense, but at this time, the society suddenly changed, and then there was a short period of paralysis in various work, and the task force naturally died, and the case was finally closed.

Now, Principal Zhang's suspicion is getting bigger and bigger, but all this is speculation, what about the evidence, where is the evidence? Where do you start?

When Lu Zheng returned to the family home, the people in the hospital were watching TV. The three families now have televisions, but, as in the past, Lu Guobin moved his own TV to the yard, and the three families sat on a small bench to watch TV, just like watching open-air movies in the countryside.

"Open your eyes and watch carefully, which one of your vassals will confess to yourself?"

The familiar theme song was heard clearly by Lu Zheng outside the courtyard, CCTV was broadcasting the Hong Kong TV series "Huo Yuanjia" in three episodes every night, looking at the action of fighting on the screen, Lu Zheng felt a ripple in his heart, back then, how fascinated he was when he saw this TV series for the first time?

Lu Zheng didn't watch TV with everyone, but went to the wing room, there were two wings in the entire courtyard, which was originally a shared storage room, and now Ma Cuihong cleaned up the east room for Lu Zheng to live in.

There is a slight damp smell, but obviously Ma Cuihong is very attentive, the cleaning is clean, the bed is thick, and the blue sheets embroidered by the peony crane are also brand new.

Ma Cuihong quickly followed, and said slightly apologetically: "Zhengzi, you are wronged for a night, and I will pick up it again tomorrow, now that the weather is warm, live here for ventilation, it is very haode, and I will find a way to wait for winter." ”

Lu Zheng hummed and said, "Look again, I have a place to live now." ”

"Really? So where do you live? Tong Susu didn't know when she turned out from behind Ma Cuihong, and looked at Lu Zheng with a smile.

Lu Zheng said: "Guest house." ”

Lu Zheng is in the dormitory building of the bureau and Xiao Du have a room, but the sanitary environment of the whole dormitory building is poor, especially their rooms share toilets next to the floor, and there is a strange smell in summer. Xiao Du naturally didn't dislike anything, but he had to be instructed by Lu Zheng's mother to take care of Lu Zheng, so he wanted to open a double room in the county party committee guest house, but Lu Zheng never agreed, and it wasn't until a few days ago that Lu Zheng changed his mind and moved to the county party committee guest house with Xiao Du.

Xiao Du naturally didn't know the reason, and thought that Lu Zheng was smoked last summer, and this summer was coming again, so he was busy moving.

When Ma Cuihong heard that Lu Zheng lived in a guest house, her eyes were a little red. Now in addition to state-run hotels and guest houses in Guangning, there are also many small private hotels near the railway station, but they are very dirty and not a place for people to live.

"Zhengzi, you listen to your aunt, will you move back to live? When your mother was leaving, she repeatedly held my hand and asked me to take care of you and ,......, me, I'm sorry for your mother, can't you give me a chance to make amends? Don't go...... Good no good? Ma Cuihong was almost begging Lu Zheng, and began to wipe her tears, thinking of the past, she was really sorry for her old sister who had passed away for many years, and it was all her fault for failing to take care of Zhengzi.

"Aunt Cuihong, actually, I'm doing well now, I live in the county party committee guest house, and the environment is quite haode." Looking at Aunt Cuihong's appearance, Lu Zheng's heart was sour, thinking of his adoptive mother who died early because of his exhaustion.

Lu Guobin's shout came from outside, as if he was calling Ma Cuihong.

Ma Cuihong wiped her tears and said, "I'll come back later." "I went out in a hurry.

Tong Susu didn't follow, but moved a three-legged chair and sat down, and asked, "You live in the county party committee guest house, which room?" ”

Seeing this beautiful girl sitting on a broken chair, Lu Zheng really felt weird in his heart, this stark contrast was too dazzling, how could it feel like a more abusive show of the dark system in later generations?

The room was originally a storeroom, but there was some furniture, but it was very old, Ma Cuihong picked up a few things that could be used, such as this three-legged chair, and wiped them clean.

"Say, you didn't lie to the third aunt, did you?" Tong Susu's white and delicate chin slammed on the chair handle, and his big eyes looked at Lu Zheng.

The delicate beauty of the conservative era style black skirt professional wear, revealing the slender stocking legs under the skirt to the knees, the lace-up small black cloth shoes, the black lace-up around the slender white stockings wrapped ankles, the combination of luxury and simplicity is so harmonious, the fresh sex appeal is coming, which is refreshing, and in the quiet appreciation, perhaps deep in the heart, there will be a surge of torture and conquer the sinful desire of this fresh beauty.

"I'm not lying, I live in room 309." Lu Zheng and Liu Xiaohui also left their real addresses.

Tong Susu snorted, stared at Lu Zheng again, and saw that Lu Zheng's heart was furious.

"Hey, you're honest, do you have an opinion about me?"

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "No, we haven't seen each other for many years, and I haven't spoken to you when I was a child, right?" ”

Tong Susu pursed her lips and said, "You are boring, don't tell the truth." ”

Lu Zheng found that Tong Susu's original expression was quite rich, unlike when there were many people just now, he had always been very mature and reserved.

"You say you have no opinion on me, then Weishenme avoid me like a plague, I'm a virus? Or does Uncle Xia have gold on him? Tong Susu said dissatisfied.

Lu Zheng is not good at facing girls, and he was even more rough in his previous life, and he has been a bachelor for half his life, although there is also Hongyan who has always supported him, but except for a one-night stand on the spot, he has not had a relationship with Hongyan who is really emotionally entangled.

Therefore, in the face of Tong Susu's Xingshi's questioning, he had no choice but to remain silent.

Tong Susu saw that Lu Zheng was silent, so he felt that he should not bully honest people, and Lu Zheng was no longer the thorn in his youth, perhaps, because of the weight of life, this young man who once led his "subordinates" to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace no longer has his previous demeanor, but has become a stuffy gourd that is trampled under his feet.

Tong Susu felt a trace of inexplicable loss in her heart, and she said softly: "Also, what you said is not right, you have spoken to me before, once I was bullied and cried, it was you who told me, 'Life is used to fight, tears only represent weakness'." ”

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Really? "I really don't remember.

Tong Susu said again: "Another time, there were a lot of fierce and vicious people who wanted to arrest me, and you scolded them away. ”

Lu Zheng couldn't help but laugh again: "It's all children playing around, it's not that serious, what kind of fierce and vicious?" ”

Tong Susu's lips moved, and finally she didn't speak, she wanted to say, but do you know how terrible they were in my eyes at that time? And you, like a hero who fell from the sky.

Tong Susu didn't say anything more, left an envelope and left silently.

The next morning, Lu Zheng found that Tong Susu secretly put an envelope on the chair, which contained a stack of ten yuan of unity, Lu Zheng wanted to return it to her, and asked Zhou Dawei, only to know that she had already left and took the bus back to the city at six o'clock in the morning.

Lu Zheng was at a loss for a while, thinking that Tong Susu was repaying her kindness, after so many years, she still remembered it, but she was really a loving and righteous little girl.
