Li Cheng greeted first: "Wang Qiao, you are here, you go upstairs first, and I will come up in a while." ”

Wang Qiao and Li Cheng not only have an ordinary friendship relationship, but also have a strange relationship with criminal suspects in the detention center. Every time Wang Qiao meets Li Cheng, he always thinks of the days and nights spent in the No. 3 Detention Center in Quang Nam. But today, he just nodded at Li Cheng, and his eyes quickly looked at Lu Zhongyong.

Lu Zhongyong and Wang Qiao looked at each other for a moment, and they were both very surprised by the sudden encounter at the door of the traffic hotel.

For a long time, they both seemed to have forgotten each other behind them. When they met today, the two understood that they had not actually forgotten each other, but had hidden them deep in their hearts. Since Wang Qiao walked out of the detention center, Lu Zhongyong had not heard from Wang Qiao, and today he suddenly met at the door of the Traffic Hotel, and Wang Qiao should have eaten with Li Cheng, which made him very surprised.

Wang Qiao knew that Lu Zhongyong was the deputy director of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau and was Li Cheng's direct leader, and it was normal for them to talk together, but the degree of surprise was lower.

Both of them are people who have been in society for many years, and they controlled their emotions in an instant, and they did not let the bottom of their hearts appear on their faces.

Wang Qiao spoke first: "Lu Ju, hello. ”

Li Cheng said: "Does Wang Qiao know Director Lu?" ”

Wang Qiao said indifferently: "Lu Ju is from Jingzhou. ”

Lu Zhongyong looked at the calm bald man in front of him and said, "We have known each other in Jingzhou. ”

Li Cheng sensitively discovered that Lu Zhongyong and Wang Qiao had a very special relationship, both of them claimed to have known each other in Jingzhou, but they were obviously wary of each other.

Wang Qiao said very calmly: "Lu Ju, what is Lu Qi doing now?" I haven't seen her in a long time. ”

Lu Zhongyong's eyes flashed. "She has been studying abroad for several years. ”

Wang Qiao said: "It turns out that Lu Qi went abroad. No wonder I've never met her. How is she and married? ”

Lu Zhongyong looked at the bald man in front of him. "Although she is very busy with her studies, she is still actively preparing for marriage. He originally wanted to use "considering marriage" to express his daughter's current situation, but the words became "preparing for marriage". If his daughter's personal life is unhappy, it is related to the person in front of him, and at this point, he has a lot of resentment towards Wang Qiao.

There was a fire burning in Wang Qiao's chest and abdomen, and he said, "Bless her and hope she is happy." ”

Li Cheng understood that Wang Qiao should be an acquaintance with Lu Zhongyong's daughter. It may even be a romantic relationship, otherwise Wang Qiao and Lu Zhongyong would not have this attitude. In order to resolve the embarrassing atmosphere at the scene, he said to Wang Qiao: "You were imprisoned in the Guangnan No. 3 Detention Center because you mistakenly entered the murder scene and were suspected of major homicide. At that time, Director Lu had just been transferred to the Dongcheng Branch, and he was responsible for the murder of the bald third child. (It's still a plot to revert to the ocean, otherwise the connection will always be a bit stiff.) ）

Lu Zhongyong's gaze shifted to Wang Qiao's bald head again, guessing his current identity.

Li Cheng continued: "Many people in the criminal police team think that you are a major suspect, but Director Lu insists that there are too many doubts in this case. In the case of this case, Director Lu played a decisive role. After I came to the Dongcheng branch, I heard my teammates talk about it many times. ”

There was a certain element of chance in the detection of this case, and it was another kidnapping case that led to the real murderer. But Li Cheng's statement is also true. When Lu Zhongyong was transferred from Jingzhou to the Dongcheng Branch as deputy director. Facing a crisis of confidence in the criminal police team of the Dongcheng Branch. At the case analysis meeting, he insisted that Wang Qiao was not the murderer and set up a special case team to concentrate on investigating the case. Although the final case was solved in a separate case. However, the results proved that Lu Zhongyong's judgment was completely accurate, and this case established Lu Zhongyong's position in the criminal investigation of the Dongcheng Branch.

After Wang Qiao walked out of the detention center, he had many contacts with Li Cheng. However, none of them involved in the details of the detection work. If Li Cheng hadn't discovered the special relationship between Lu Zhongyong and Wang Qiao, he wouldn't have remembered to tell that period of history.

The guards were afraid of a hundred days of great significance to Wang Qiao. He said to Lu Zhongyong from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, Lu Ju." ”

Lu Zhongyong's expression slowly relaxed, and said, "No thanks, this is my job." ”

"One yard to one yard, I entered the detention center with the hat of a murder suspect, and I can come out thanks to all the people who helped me." Wang Qiao said again: "Bless Lu Qi again, and ask Lu Ju to say hello for me." ”

Lu Zhongyong said: "Yes." ”

Wang Qiao took his leave and went upstairs with Hei Tang.

Lu Zhongyong looked at Wang Qiao's straight back and shiny bald head, and said, "What is he doing?" ”

Li Cheng said: "After Wang Qiao came out of the detention center, he went to Jingzhou No. 1 Middle School to repeat his studies. This kid is extremely smart, and he was admitted to Shannan University after repeating a year. After graduation, he was selected and transferred to Changdong City by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, first as the deputy director of the Urban Management Committee, and later presided over the work of the Changdong County Government. Like the bald third case, he was implicated in a vague way, and now he is being put to work in the county archives bureau. They are still figuring out a way to change places. ”

"When I saw him with a bald head, I thought he was in business." Lu Zhongyong didn't expect that the bald man was still a national cadre and had served as a leader, which was even more unexpected than meeting him today.

Li Cheng deliberately helped Wang Qiao speak, and said: "Wang Qiao is very good, I have seen him come out of the lowest level step by step over the years, with a resolute personality and a good character. I have a good relationship with their family, and we are having dinner together today. Lu Ju, I'll toast you later. ”

Lu Zhongyong said: "I don't care about the next seat, it's troublesome to run around toasting." Today, the Political Department is hosting a banquet for media friends, so I have to be pulled in. ”

Li Cheng said: "Now the media is powerful, it is the uncrowned king, our public security does a hundred good things they don't report, and they just stare at one bad thing." ”

"Okay, let's talk another day, I'll go up first." The two of them originally met by chance at the door, so they stood together and talked about the case in Dongcheng District. didn't expect Wang Qiao to meet unexpectedly, so Lu Zhongyong had no interest in talking, and went upstairs directly.

Li Cheng immediately came to the private room, only to see Hei Tang alone, and said, "Wang Qiao is not there?" ”

Hei Tang was very respectful to Li Cheng and said, "Li Zhi, Wang Qiao has something to do and will go out for ten minutes and will come back soon." He took the cigarette, handed it to Li Cheng, and sat beside Li Cheng by the way.

At this time, Wang Qiao walked briskly on the street, like a burning human-shaped tree. After all these years, he originally thought that Lu Qi had been forgotten, and Yan Lin or Li Ningyong even replaced Lu Qi in a certain period of time. When he heard the news of Lu Qi from Lu Zhongyong's mouth, he knew that Lu Qi was still buried deep in his heart, like a forest that stored energy in the form of quaint coal in the depths of his heart, and exploded when the right time came.

After talking with Lu Zhongyong, Wang Qiao felt that he couldn't suppress his emotions and found an excuse to leave the Provincial Traffic Hotel.

He returned to Shannan University and ran all the way along Bird Lake. There were many young men and women walking in the lake, and when they saw a bald man running around the lake, they all made a way. Shannan University is a comprehensive university, there are a lot of capable people, there are also a lot of weirdos, the students are in it, they all have a strong tolerance, although the bald man in front of him looks weird in leather shoes running, still no one stopped or called the police.

After running three laps, Wang Qiao stood in the hidden place where Zhao Bo had been drunk, gasping for breath. He still felt that there was a fire rising in his heart, and Lu Qi's preparation for marriage was the high temperature of the fire.

A stout camphor tree originally grew freely on the edge of the lake, without disturbing anyone or hindering anyone, but it was violently shaken by a savage man.

Wang Qiao used a fierce whip leg and whipped it on the camphor tree, making a thumping sound.

His legs took turns to twitch more than a dozen times, and his calf was in hot pain, Wang Qiao opened his trouser leg and saw blood flowing out of his calf, so he gave up

After this round of tossing, Wang Qiao finally calmed down, sat on the ground, took out his mobile phone and began to dial Lu Qi's pager. After the advent of mobile phones, paging withdrew from the stage of history, and all the gentle female voices on the pager table disappeared at that time.

Wang Qiao still clearly remembered Lu Qi's pager number, and after dialing, the prompt tone of "The phone you dialed is empty" kept ringing.

He finally calmed down and smoked a cigarette with a wry smile.

He remembered the poem "Those who abandon me, the day of yesterday shall not stay", and the name of the word "Looking back at the place where it has always been bleak, returning, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine", and he also remembered "The journey of the sun and the moon, if out of it; The stars are splendid, if out of it".

These three poems are Wang Qiao's favorites, and they have their own emphases at different times, when Lu Qi left at first, he often wrote the first one, and later after studying in college, he began to write the second poem, and after working in Changdong County, he often wrote the third poem.

Today is a chance encounter that is destined to come, which makes Wang Qiao feel the passion he has not felt for a long time. When communicating with teacher Huang Yonggui, Huang Yonggui pointed out that he had twilight, and Wang Qiao was still slightly unconvinced at that time. Today he was even more strongly stimulated, and he was ready to throw the so-called "twilight" into the Pacific Ocean.

In the room of the traffic hotel, Wang Xiaozheng chatted very harmoniously with Hei Tang and Li Cheng. When Hei Tang and Li Cheng were alone, the atmosphere was still very light, like a bowl of noodles without salt. When Wang Xiao came to the room, the atmosphere immediately became lively. When Wang Qiao returned to the room, the eyes of the three of them shone on him like searchlights.

Wang Qiao said: "Don't look at me with such eyes, I'm just going out for a walk." ”

Wang Xiaodao: "Everyone is waiting for you to eat, why are you crazy, suddenly go out for a walk." ”

Wang Qiao said: "I met Lu Zhongyong just now, and I talked about the case of the bald third child back then, and I felt uncomfortable, so I went to relax." ”

Li Cheng explained: "Lu Zhongyong is the deputy director of the sub-bureau, and he was once in charge of the case of the bald third child, and he strongly advocated that Wang Qiao was not a murderer. ”

Hei Tang heard it in a fog, but he knew from the content of the conversation that things were not simple, and his gaze at Wang Qiao was a little mountainous.

Wang Xiao is most familiar with Wang Qiao's love life, and when she heard "Lu Zhongyong", she knew the real reason for Wang Qiao's walk, she glanced at her extremely good but repeatedly frustrated brother with pity, and secretly sighed a few times about the fate of her sister and brother.

She looked at Li Cheng and said, "Have you seen Lu Ju's daughter?" ”
