The first chapter

On the afternoon of sending her parents away, moving out of the guest house, and returning to the anti-drug brigade, she received a call from Mao Jie from somewhere. She guessed that on the afternoon when Tie Jun ran to Nande with the child, the call received by the anti-narcotics brigade looking for her must have been made by Mao Jie.

As soon as she heard the word Mao Jie, Captain Qian was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and the comrade who helped her install the phone was also stunned, and several other people in the outhouse also stopped talking and crowded to the door of the small warehouse to see her.

Anxin didn't say anything more, she pushed away the few people crowded at the door, limped to the outhouse, and took the key from her body with trembling hands, and it took a long time for the key to be inserted into the keyhole of the desk drawer...... The drawer finally opened, but with too much force, it pulled to the floor with a clatter. With one hand still hanging from the bandage, she used the other hand to pull out her gun from the drawer that had been turned on the floor.

Lao Qian hurriedly came out of the back room, grabbed Anxin's hand, snatched the gun over, he frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on, what are you?" "Lao Qian may not believe it until now, that call was really made by Mao Jie.

Anxin was red-eyed, and stepped forward to snatch the gun that Lao Qian had taken away, but he couldn't snatch him. Old Qian pushed her away heavily, and asked a little annoyed, "Who did you just say?" It was Mao Jie's call, huh? ”

Anxin was pushed by Lao Qian, and her body staggered to the side, if it wasn't for the table blocking, she almost fell to the ground. She held on to the table and panted heavily, turned to look at Old Qian, gritted her teeth and said:

"He asked me to meet, and he asked me if I dared!"

Lao Qian was about to say something, when he suddenly raised his eyes, looked beyond Anxin, and threw himself at the door of the team office. An Xin also raised his head, and they all saw Captain Pan appear there like a small mountain, darkening the light in the room.

Captain Pan asked in an expressionless voice, "Do you dare?" ”

Anxin's eyes didn't blink, and she stared at Captain Pan's backlit face without blinking. She said, "Dare! ”

Lao Pan remained silent and asked again: "Where did he ask you?" ”

Anxin said: "At the door of Ruixin Department Store." ”

Lao Qian plugged in, I don't know whether to remind peace of mind or remind Lao Pan, and said: "This kid didn't get started in your dormitory a few days ago, and now he wants to transfer you to Ruixin Department Store. If you want to go, you're going to be a target for him! ”

Anxin said: "I dare to go if he dares to go, he has a gun and I have a gun!" ”

Captain Qian opened his mouth to say something again, but Lao Pan interrupted them: "When did he ask you to go?" ”

Anxin said, "Now! ”

Captain Pan walked into the middle of the house, stopped, paused for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you!" ”

Captain Qian stood behind Lao Pan and asked in a daze, "Just the two of you?" Who else do I need to take with me? ”

Captain Pan turned around, his answer was very light, but it was categorical, without a little hesitation:

"All!"

Lao Qian seemed to understand it for a while, and then looked around at the anti-narcotics policemen who were still stunned, and suddenly yelled: "All! ”

The people in the house squeezed to the door together as if in a dream, Lao Pan walked to the telephone, and called the head of the bureau very briefly, before the phone was finished, the yard of the anti-narcotics brigade was already roaring, and Lao Qian drove the car with people. One by one, the cars quickly drove out of the courtyard gate of the anti-narcotics brigade, and the dust raised by the convoy covered the sky and the sun, and the momentum was extraordinary.

Lao Pan hung up the phone, stood up, glanced at Anxin, and said calmly: "Let's go." ”

The Anti-Narcotics Brigade is not too close to the Ruixin Department Store. Sitting in Lao Pan's car with peace of mind, the car drove slowly. They were silent all the way, passing street after street junction, and gradually approached the main entrance of Ruixin Mall. Lao Pan did not let Anxin get off at the main entrance, and did not even drive the car to the parking lot in front of the mall, but parked on a nearby side street, from the corner of this small street, you can see the bustling situation in front of the mall.

At this time, An Xin found that including the road where they parked, the surroundings of Ruixin Department Store and all the intersections in the vicinity as far as her eyes could see, seemed to appear out of the flat, and they were suddenly covered with soldiers of the armed police force. The soldiers were dressed in yellow and green spotted camouflage uniforms, holding *** in their hands, and under the steel helmets with pressed eyebrows, all of them had serious faces, and quickly blocked the nearby streets and alleys under the short and quick orders of the officers. Anxin also saw that the police of the anti-narcotics brigade were also scattered at various street corners, and with the assistance of the armed police force, they began to carefully check the passers-by, especially the young men from the direction of Ruixin shopping mall, and they were all carefully examined before they were released.

Captain Pan was in the car, using his handheld phone to contact the leaders of several detachments and ask them what they had discovered. Many of the ordinary people on the street stood from a distance and watched the excitement, not knowing what was going on. Anxin wanted to get out of the car, but Lao Pan didn't let him. He asked, "Where are you going?" Peace of mind can't answer. Lao Pan said: I don't need you, you just sit in the car! Peace of mind had to sit. She saw a group of armed policemen detaining a bus at a street corner in the distance, probably having an argument with someone on the bus, and seemed to have moved, but it quickly subsided, and there was a false alarm, and there was no chaos. The detachments reported from different directions one after another, but no target was found. It is unknown whether the target had slipped away or had not come at all, or had just hidden in a nearby house.

At this moment, a small sleeper car drove over quietly, Anxin knew that it was the car of the leader of the bureau, Lao Pan immediately got out of the car, got into the small sleeper car to ask for instructions and reported, came out three minutes later, and asked Lao Qian to notify the detachments to withdraw with a handheld phone. It was reassuring to see that the armed police force had apparently received a similar notice, and they got into trucks and jeeps one after another, and walked faster than the people of the anti-narcotics brigade. The tension in the streets lasted for only half an hour, and soon everything was normal and calm returned.

Captain Pan also got into the car and drove the car back to the team with the steering wheel. Just like when he came, he and Anxin didn't say anything along the way.

Lao Pan didn't eat in the team in the evening, and it is said that he was called away by the bureau's phone. Early the next morning, he came a little late, and when he came, he brought with him a cadre from the political department of the bureau. This cadre is in his forties, and Anxin is familiar with his face, so he can't name him, and he heard Captain Pan call him Director Fang. Director Fang, as well as Lao Pan and Lao Qian, the three of them entered the conference room together. Five minutes later, someone called Anxin in.

As soon as Anxin entered the conference room, she felt a little strange, the three leaders sat side by side on the left side of the conference table, and she sat on the right side after she entered. This way of sitting feels too formal, like a defense meeting when taking a degree in college, and the faces of the leaders are serious, although Director Fang showed a kind smile after she entered the room, but it was also a smile with a serious theme, not easy at all.

Anxin sat down across from them, knowing in his heart that they must have come to her to talk to her about something important. The Director Fang opened his mouth first, and seeing that her left hand was still bandaged, he first asked her about her injuries with concern. Of course, immediately afterwards, he also cared about her feelings, and expressed his sorrow over the unfortunate death of her lover, and his words were both orthodox and kind. After a brief exchange of condolences, the conversation shifted to the right track.

"Today, on behalf of the leaders of the bureau and the political department of the bureau, that is, the representative organization, I have come to talk to you. First of all, we are still satisfied with your performance in the past year or so when you graduated from junior college and came to the Anti-Narcotics Brigade of the Nande Municipal Bureau for more than a year of internship. The fact that you, a young female comrade, have chosen to come to our border city for training shows that you have indeed established the lofty ideal of dedicating yourself to public security and serving the people, and that through more than a year of practice, you have improved your ideology, business, will, and quality. Today we are talking to you, or because of this case. You played a great role in this case, and made an important contribution to the destruction of this drug trafficking stronghold and the destruction of this gang, otherwise the criminals would not have retaliated against you so desperately. Therefore, the party committee of the bureau studied it yesterday and decided to give you a second-class meritorious service. The decision to record meritorious service, certificates, and badges will be issued immediately, and they will be officially announced when they are issued. Now we congratulate you in advance, ah, congratulations! ”

Director Fang talked about remembering merit, and Lao Pan and Lao Qian also nodded at her, with a smile on their faces, and responded with congratulations. The following words are still continued by Director Fang, and he knows that they are looking for her today, this posture, this expression, and this atmosphere are not just to inform and congratulate this good news.

Sure enough, Director Fang changed his words, and then said: "There is one more thing, we will also discuss with you today, considering this case, there are not many clues at present, and it can only be preliminarily determined that it was committed by Mao Jie and Mao Fang's brothers, which has an obvious vendetta and revenge nature." Now it is estimated that they have fled the local area and are hiding somewhere. You have been working in anti-narcotics work for more than a year and know it very well, it is too cruel. Now it is very clear that the Mao family compound is an important stronghold of foreign drug trafficking organizations in China, and this family and their accomplices are all backbone members of international drug trafficking groups, and they all have hiding dens and escape routes, and these two guys will never give up on you, and they will look for you sooner or later. This kind of thing has happened here before, as well as in other regions. Many of our anti-narcotics policemen and drug criminals have a common enmity! In light of this situation, the bureau's party committee also listened to the opinions of the leaders of your anti-narcotics brigade, and yesterday again asked the Political Department of the Provincial Public Security Department for instructions, and based on the results of the request, it decided to implement protective measures against you from today. If you are transferred out of the public security organs, you will be transferred from your local area, and you will be given a new set of name files and other work to avoid undue sacrifices. ”

Anxin was stunned, she knew that there must be something wrong with them looking for her, but she didn't expect it to be this. She had been thinking for the past two days that Tie Jun was gone, and Guangping's mother-in-law's house would definitely not be able to go back. In addition to Qingmian's parents, she only has the anti-drug brigade. She was stunned, turned her face to look at Captain Pan and Captain Qian, Captain Pan lowered his head and smoked, Captain Qian couldn't avoid it, so she caught her gaze, so she had to cough and explain:

"It's not that we're afraid of them, it's not that we're scared. This is a kind of love and care for our comrades who are engaged in anti-narcotics work in the organization. This protective measure has been used against other comrades before, and it is not a precedent that has been set today......"

Lao Qian talked for a long time, and basically repeated what Director Fang had already expressed just now. Anxin's eyes were wet, and she faintly felt that all this was irrevocable, this was a decision, a formal decision in the organization, and a decision that had been consulted by her superiors, and she could only obey it. With tears in her eyes, she thought that she should say a few words of thanks at this time, thanking the organization for its care and protection of her, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she somehow asked something like this:

"Later...... I'll never be able to work as a police officer again......"

Lao Pan and Lao Qian bowed their heads and were silent, Director Fang pondered for a while, and could only speak again: "Doing other work is also to serve the people, and you can make achievements and contributions, the only difference between doing public security is that you will be safer." You are a university student and knowledgeable, and I believe that you will be able to use your talents in any position. You are not like some comrades who have no other knowledge except for a little experience in public security work, and it is difficult for these comrades to change any job. In the past, individual comrades who we transferred out of the country could not be peasants, let alone do other work. The work we arranged for him couldn't do it for a few days, and in the end his life became a problem. Your situation is completely different from those comrades. ”

The big truth is Anxin understands, and the director of the small truth is also true, but Anxin can't turn the corner for a while, not the reason, but the feeling. Her tears finally fell down, and she choked up: "I can't do anything else, I don't want to be incognito, I don't want to leave the public security team......"

Captain Pan opened his mouth at this time, and he said: "Don't worry, the organization has carefully considered letting you change your name and change your place." You're a lesbian and a college student, and your safety must be considered organizationally. Besides, you still have a child, and your child has been handed over to parents for a long time, and it is not good for you and your child to be absent from your child for a long time. But if you stay in the anti-narcotics brigade, you can't take the children with you. Now the criminals are targeting you, your safety, the safety of your children, and the organizational pressure is too great, so taking this measure is also a last resort, I hope you can understand and cooperate. ”

Anxin stopped talking, and she didn't even let her tears fall again. There was silence in the room for a while, and the Director Fang closed the topic in a kind tone: "How about it, you think about it, ah." ”

Anxin didn't look up, didn't look at them, there was still a cry of grievance in her voice, she asked, "Can I only cooperate, can I only obey?" ”

No one answered her, and they were all silent.

Anxin raised her head, her eyes were still red, she sniffled, and in a nasal voice like a cold, she muttered, and stopped sentence by sentence: "Okay, I obey the decision of the organization, and the organization tells me to go wherever I want." ”

They all looked at her, and no one expressed joy. This conversation ended like this, which was a good thing for Anxin and a good intention of the organization, but her mood and her tears made the three leaders who talked to her all look heavy when they walked out of the conference room.

In addition to the criminal policemen who were responsible for investigating the murder of Tie Jun, they also looked for her twice, and a section chief of the Political Department of the Municipal Bureau also looked for her, mainly to talk about her next work arrangement. Through contacts with relevant parties, the Political Office tentatively decided to let her go to Beiqiu City. It is a county-level city, in the eastern part of Yunnan, separated from Nande in western Yunnan by 600 kilometers, not too close to Guangping, and even farther away from Qingmian. The relevant departments of the bureau helped her make a fake file and a fake ID card, and changed her name, which was quite vulgar, called He Yanhong. She doesn't care, anyway, her real name and real file are still in the Political Office of the Nande City Bureau. She kept her real ID card by herself, and the Political Department did not say that she would take it back.

The fake file and fake ID card were not for anything else, but to help her settle down in Beiqiu City and arrange a work unit. In the past few days, the people from the political department of the Nande City Bureau have been helping her with this matter. The Beiqiu Municipal Public Security Bureau received a notice from the Provincial Public Security Department and the Regional Public Security Bureau, which was very supportive of the matter, and quickly confirmed the location of her household registration, and helped her find a job in a building materials company in Beiqiu City. It is said that the company's benefits are good, the salary is not low, the benefits are good, and the public security bureau has an acquaintance in charge of business, and it is still useful to say something. Of course, only one or two bureau leaders in the Beiqiu City Bureau who are responsible for arranging this matter know the true origin of He Yanhong, and the cadres who are involved in the specific operation of the household registration and the contact work for her do not know, but only regard it as a relationship introduced by acquaintances.

Anxin is not satisfied with this place and this job. It may be because Beiqiu is too unfamiliar with any building materials company. For her, she is nothing without the Iron Army, from Nande, from the public security team, and without taking off her police uniform, no matter where she goes or what she does, it is a kind of homeless wandering.

So she didn't say anything, the comrades of the Political Department of the bureau worked very hard to do this, and sometimes they called her several times a day to tell her about the situation, which she could see, and it was not easy for others. And Lao Pan also persuaded her to go first, saying that Beiqiu is a rich county, and the township enterprises are quite famous, and I heard that the salary is more than the salary you get now in the anti-drug brigade, which is also an benefit. You have to raise children now, you have to get married in the future, and you really have to consider whether it is affordable or not to find a job. Thinking about it with peace of mind, what she does in the future does have to consider how to be more beneficial to the child. When it comes to getting married, it's impossible, and she thinks that she probably won't get married again for the rest of her life. Lao Pan said: Ahem, of course you think so now, but you are still young, not yet twenty-two years old, what your life will be like in the future, what your mood will be like, it's hard to say.

In addition to arranging household registration and work, there are also the aftermath of the Iron Army. The two comrades from the Propaganda Department of the Guangping Municipal Party Committee who came to Nande to deal with the aftermath of the Tie Jun also came to Anxin to ask for her opinions on the handling of the funeral, and brought the draft introduction of the life of the Tie Jun to her for her to see. She still said the same sentence: What to do about the funeral, one listens to the organization and arrangement, and the other listens to the wishes of Tie Jun's mother. She said that she would miss Tie Jun in her heart, and as for the way in which the unit mourned his death and what rhetoric to use to evaluate his life, please just follow the rules in the organization. Anxin thought in his heart: The real excellence of the Iron Army, that piece of paper life can't be written. Those excellences, his charm and brilliance as a man, only she, as a wife, can feel it, and it may not be said one by one, it is a kind of knowledge and love after living together. For a woman, what she can't say can often keep her for the rest of her life.

The remains of the Iron Army have been transported back to Guangping. Anxin also officially ended his career as a people's policeman and quietly went through the formalities of retirement. She handed over her police uniform, badge and police number, as well as weapons that had never been used in actual combat since they were issued to her; Then, he received a certificate of second-class merit, a badge, and a bonus of 800 yuan. She even received her last month's salary from the public security organ, a special resettlement fee of 3,000 yuan, and transportation expenses from Nande to Beiqiu; Lao Pan Lao Qian and several other leaders of the team also invited her out to eat the meal to see her off; Her luggage had also been checked in a wooden box to Beiqiu City. If it weren't for the call from Guangping to inform her of the date of the farewell ceremony for Tiejun's body, she would have actually been able to buy a train ticket, take a suitcase with her, and leave Nande to the building materials company in Beiqiu to start a new part of her life.

During Nande's last time, when Anxin calmed down, in addition to thinking of Tiejun and crying quietly for a while, he began to imagine her future. The more she thought about it, the more nostalgic she became for her past life. As a philosopher once said: Memories are always good. Things that aren't good often don't go back to memory. Therefore, she always subconsciously omits and avoids all unpleasant things in her memory, and even deliberately, excludes pain and shame. For example, Tie Jun's quarrel with her before his death, and his hatred for her, she didn't want to think about it. Although she admits that it is she who is sorry for Tie Jun, she is sorry for the love he has given her and his precious life. But now, all repentance and reparation are meaningless, and all that remains is memories. She prefers to keep the memories simple, even if not so fully real. What she thinks about repeatedly is only those beautiful scenes, whether it is her acquaintance and first love with Tie Jun in the hospital, or the newlywed days when Tie Jun came to Nande to be a reporter, or the family life of three generations in Guangping and Tie Jun's mother after the child was born, all of them are alive and lingering in front of Anxin. As soon as she calmed down, she thought, as soon as she calmed down, she thought...... The happier the past, the more tormented today becomes, the more hopeless and boring she feels about the future.

During the day, it was inconvenient for her to stay in the office of the team site, which, as usual, was constantly being attended by people coming in and out, and everyone was busy. She is no longer a member of this unit, both theoretically and in terms of organization. She stayed in the office, even in the back room where she slept, and it was still inconvenient to be separated by a wall. She seemed at a loss when she had nothing to do, and people looked uncomfortable, so she went out and went to Nanmeng Mountain to go shopping by herself. I went there once and let Lao Qian scold: I don't know if the two crazy people of the Mao family are gone, why do you go out like this without a gun, who is responsible for the accident? If you're bored, I can ask a few people to go out with you, and I'm really bored to go for a walk in the countryside, but you must keep up with two gay men. If something happens to you before you leave, we can't explain it to the bureau!

Lao Qian didn't allow her to go out alone, and it was impossible for her to ask the leader to send someone to accompany her when the team was so busy. Moreover, she just went out to find a place to be alone. When you are alone, you can recall the past if you want to remember the past, imagine the future if you want to imagine the future, cry for a while if you want to cry, and relax after crying for a while. But if the leader sends someone to accompany her, she will not be able to recall, imagine, be sad, or relax. She just doesn't go out anymore.

Captain Pan was personally involved in a case at that time, and a few days ago he had been sent to a small town called Sharon on the border. Lao Pan's absence also deepened Anxin's loneliness and depression. She was worried that when she left Nande two days later, Lao Pan hadn't come back yet, and she wouldn't even be able to say goodbye to each other. Fortunately, at noon that day, Lao Pan suddenly came back, and as soon as he came back, he went to the conference room to talk to Anxin. Lao Pan conveyed to her the news that the date for the farewell ceremony of Tie Jun's body had been set. It is scheduled to be held at nine o'clock tomorrow morning in the No. 1 farewell room of Guangping City People's Hospital.

Anxin was stunned when he heard it: Tomorrow morning? She asked Lao Pan suspiciously: "Captain, how do you know, haven't you been staying in Shalun Town these days?" After a pause, she added, "Why are they only informing me now that the farewell ceremony is going on tomorrow morning?" ”

Lao Pan did not show the same dissatisfaction as she expected, he was silent for a while, and said: "The call came yesterday, and it was directly from the Propaganda Department of the Guangping Municipal Party Committee to the Political Department of our Municipal Bureau. The political prescribing director called me this morning and asked me to talk to you. I'm here to do this, and I'll have to go back later, because tonight we have a joint operation with the Armed Police Force in Sharon, so I have to rush back. ”

Anxin listened half-incomprehensibly. From the captain's expression, she guessed that something extraneous was happening. Out of nowhere, she suddenly felt a wave of anger. She felt that she had endured it again and again in order to take care of the overall situation and take care of Tie Jun's mother's mood, and she had never made the slightest trouble for the organization! But they don't have the least respect for her, she is Tiejun's lover after all! is the one who has the right to have an opinion! She couldn't help but ask Captain Pan forcefully:

"They didn't tell me so late, and they didn't tell me directly, they wanted to tell the bureau, what the hell did they want to do?"

Captain Pan lowered his head, thought about it bitterly, looked up at her again, looked at her for a long time before saying, "Their opinion is that they hope we will persuade you not to go to the farewell ceremony of the body." ”

Anxin's face turned white, and her heart seemed to be dragged up by someone, and when she reached her throat, she stopped there. It took her strength to squeeze out her anger and her surprise from her almost blocked throat!

"What?"

"Because, Tie Jun's mother brought it up and did not agree with you standing in the position of Tie Jun's family, and she couldn't accept that you stood with her at the farewell ceremony. Therefore, the Propaganda Department of the Guangping Municipal Party Committee hopes that our bureau will do your job. So Director Fang asked me to rush back anyway and talk to you. They may think that you have always been more respectful of my words, so they want me to talk about them. ”

An Xin really wanted to cry, but she didn't have tears, she was a little angry, and she could only murmur in resistance: "...... Why would she do it? She has no right to do that...... "She also realized that her resistance was as fragile as a few useless words of self-talk in a loud noise.

What can Captain Pan say? This is an order to talk, and he can only do the persuasion work with peace of mind: "You also know, Tie Jun's parents are considered senior cadres in Guangping, and they are very familiar with the leaders of the municipal party committee and city, and they are old comrades, so the city will definitely support her." And I don't think she could have made it completely unreasonable, she would have given some reason, and she couldn't just deprive you of your rights without the slightest reason......"

"What reason does she have? She didn't have any reason! "Anxin's attitude is almost fighting with Captain Pan's sword.

Captain Pan paused, as if to avoid Anxin's agitation, and still did not show clear support and sympathy for Anxin, he used a neutral tone, and said, "She has evidence that the Iron Army has broken with you, and the responsibility lies with you." She has evidence that your child, Tiejun can not be held responsible. Don't worry, this is your private matter, and I don't want to worry about it even if I know it. You young people have different ideas and practices from our generation in terms of how men and women interact, you have your own ways, you think for yourself whether it is right or wrong, and you will also grow up and grow old one day, and then you may also become our current view. At least you will realize that in our country, in the hearts of most people, your actions will not be recognized. So if you go to Guangping to make trouble, I don't think the above will support you, and most of the people may not necessarily sympathize with you, this is the reality of our society! You can't fail to think about this reality! ”

Anxin stood up, opened the door with red eyes, and wanted to go out. Captain Pan shouted: "Peace of mind, where are you going?" ”

An Xin stood up and sobbed: "I'm going to Guangping, I'm going to Tie Jun's mother, I'm going to admit my mistake in person." I knelt down and begged her to let me send one to the Iron Army, wouldn't it? I love Iron Army! ”

Captain Pan walked over, pulled her away from the door, and closed the door. He looked at the relief who finally cried, and was silent for a while, letting her cry. These days, Anxin always feels that her tears have dried up, and she won't cry anymore, but she still can't control it when something happens. Captain Pan stood behind her, let out a long sigh, changed the tone of a close and confidant, and said:

"If you really love Tiejun, then let him go quietly. He doesn't want to see you fight with his mother, you're all his relatives. You have to love him, and remember him in your heart. If the opinions he had on you before he left were indeed misunderstandings or anger, then he would naturally be able to understand everything and understand everything when he went to the underworld. If there really is such a thing as soul immortality, the soul of the Iron Army will definitely ascend to heaven. When you ascend to heaven, you can see everything in the world. ”

Anxin stopped her tears, and she listened to every word and word of Lao Pan. Those words were full of emotion and very real. made her really believe in the existence of the soul at this moment. She thought that if no one in this world is inevitably chaotic and obscurant, then the soul of the departed should always be transparent and condescending. Condescending, as Captain Pan said, everything in the world, including people's hearts, should be visible.

Lao Pan didn't bother to eat at noon, so he drove back to the border town in a hurry. From his few words, it was reassuring to know that there was going to be a battle near that town tonight. As soon as she took off her police uniform, she already felt in her heart that she was obviously separated from this exciting life, and inadvertently carried the mood of a bystander. She watched Lao Pan's car pull the roar of the old cow like anger and the accelerator, leaving the courtyard of the anti-drug brigade, she stood in the corridor in front of the conference room, and suddenly she was a college student who had just arrived here today, and she was still unfamiliar with everything here. Everything she has experienced in the past year or so, every intricate case, every life-and-death action, as if she had never experienced it, and life here seems to her as if it has never happened.

Lao Pan's car drove away, and there was no one in the yard. Anxin retreated to the team office, probably everyone had eaten, and the office was equally empty. She walked to the back room and took out the box she was going to take from under her bed. When she opened it, it was already packed with things she was going to take with her. She packed some of the bits and pieces that had been scattered outside for the past two days into a box, and then walked outside, lying on the table to the anti-narcotics brigade, the collective where she had planned to fight all her life, wrote her last message.

Captain Pan and Captain Qian:

I'm leaving. I'm going to Bukgu City today to join that new job. I would like to say goodbye to you, to the anti-narcotics brigade, and to everyone who accompanies me day and night.

I am an ignorant child, and I was taken in by you. You taught me how to work, how to live, and I have been living well under your protection. I like you, I like the anti-narcotics brigade, I like Nande, I used to want to make this my forever home. I didn't expect me to leave here so early and leave you to live on my own. I'm used to being cared for like a little sister with you, and I really don't know how much trouble I'll have when I'm out there alone.

Writing this, she wanted to cry, but she held back. The tip of the pen trembled, and it was difficult to write the last sentence neatly:

I'm going to miss you, because you're all heroes to me!

I wish you all the best!

peace

When she finished writing, her heart was empty. She wanted to write a few more words of specific blessings, words to take care, but after thinking about it for a long time, she decided not to write. She knew that no matter what she wrote, she would never get enough of it.

She walked out of the office with the box and out the back door out of the yard of the anti-narcotics brigade. The noon sun was hot, and there was still no one in the courtyard, and no one saw her. She stopped a rental motorbike truck on the side street outside the back door, and both people and boxes went up, and the motorcycle truck slammed and started. She looked at the back door, which she usually went in and out in the morning and evening, and gradually became farther and smaller in her field of vision, and when the car turned a corner, she couldn't see anything, and then she turned her head.

And just like that, she went away quietly.

The car pulled her to the Nande City Railway Station, and it can be seen from the display screen in the ticket hall that there are many short-line trains in the province, and tickets can be bought at any time. She handed the money at the ticket window, and the conductor lazily asked, "Which train do you want, where do you go?" Without hesitation, she replied:

"376 times, go to the wide screen!"
