Chapter 1

Later, Anxin told me that the moment she first heard that Mao Jie was immortalized and acquitted, her heart suddenly relaxed, and I think it was probably because Mao Jie's incident gave her too heavy mental burden. A girl who is unwilling to let her former lover die in her own hands, although she no longer loves, or has never loved this person, but after all, she has had a good time with him. This feeling, at least for me, is understandable.

Mao Jie was finally acquitted, also because of peace of mind. A week later, when the court reconvened to deliver the verdict, the lawyer suddenly turned the finger at the prosecution witnesses, who had almost turned the tide of the situation. The two defence counsel, apparently using the one-week adjournment to do a relatively thorough investigation and preparation, raised in court that An Xin was not qualified to serve as prosecution witnesses in the case. The conversation between her and the defendant on Wuquan's boat, which you know and I know but no third party knows, is not enough evidence because there is no way to verify the truth or falsity, and at least it cannot be used as conclusive evidence for the defendant's life or death. The reason put forward by the lawyer is both simple and straightforward, and it is shocking, that is: the relationship between the witness and the defendant is that it is a lover, and the witness is eager to get rid of the defendant because he wants to marry someone else, and when he fails to get rid of it, he may use unscrupulous means to fabricate criminal evidence and frame the defendant to death!

It can be said that the lawyer's speech completely reversed the impression that the audience had reached a consensus on the case. Nearly everyone who was said to have watched the scene widened their eyes and craned their necks, as if they wanted to look at the empty witness stand to see the flowery girl who had calmly testified there a week earlier. The beautiful appearance of the girl, her identity as an anti-narcotics policeman, and her experience in outwitting drug dealers made so many people who watched almost all regard her as an idol of the times, and they all respected her and even shook her heart...... When many things go to extremes, they become fragile and vulnerable. The lawyer's earth-shattering disclosure immediately broke the audience's idolatry, and they all sighed heartily after being shocked: What a flower-like appearance and a snake-like heart, just like Pan Jinlian in a classical novel! It's really a saying from ancient times: there is nothing more poisonous than a woman's heart! This kind of thing makes anyone who listens to it have goosebumps, why is this girl so ruthless!

Amid an uproar, the court adjourned temporarily. The public prosecutor of the procuratorate and a cadre of the Municipal Public Security Bureau held urgent consultations when the trial was temporarily adjourned, and some people advocated resolutely fighting the lawyer, believing that the lawyer deliberately exaggerated the relationship between Anxin and Mao Jie. It is necessary to dismiss irresponsible defamation by lawyers who take advantage of their positions. However, there are also those who oppose continuing to study this matter in a-for-tat manner with the defenders, and among those who oppose it is Lao Pan, the captain of the anti-narcotics brigade.

Now, after the dispute over this trial has long passed, it seems to me that Lao Pan was wiser at that time. He saw that the two lawyers were ruthless characters, and they even clearly implied in their speeches that the court and the audience had sex with Mao Jie many times. They also specifically mentioned that shortly before Mao Jie's arrest, Anxin also took the initiative to ask Mao Jie to meet at the door of Ruixin Department Store, and then took Mao Jie to a secluded tea shop in Nanmengshan for a secret conversation. What to talk about? talked about asking to sever relations with Mao Jie, but the two broke up unhappily...... Regarding the fact that the two broke up unhappily at the Nanmengshan tea shop, and even Mao Jie started to fight at that time, the lawyer said that the owner of the tea shop and his companions could be summoned to testify in court as witnesses. The lawyer had obviously done a lot of research and was prepared. What surprised Lao Pan the most was that the lawyer also cited a full-page reportage entitled "People's Defenders, Contemporary Heroes" in the "Nande Daily" as evidence, which contained the deeds of a young female anti-narcotics policeman who killed her relatives and personally captured her boyfriend who was involved in drug trafficking in Wuquan. Although it is not named, its content and the time and place of the incident are almost exactly the same as the case of Anxin's entrapment of Mao Jie. This is the newspaper of a few months ago, and the lawyers have actually been found, and it seems that their ability should not be underestimated. In this obviously somewhat inexplicable situation, Lao Pan opposes the use of the personal privacy of a young lesbian in a court such as a court to conduct a detailed, thorough, and unconcealed investigation, confrontation, analysis, and commentary. And this kind of thing is investigated and investigated, and it is difficult to conclude that nothing happened between Anxin and Mao Jie, and the result is not necessarily beneficial to the prosecution. The people of the Legislative Affairs Office of the Municipal Bureau also helplessly supported Lao Pan's view. As a result, it was agreed that the procuratorate would withdraw the case from the court and send it back to the public security bureau for supplementary investigation. If the public security bureau cannot find new evidence immediately, it will have no choice but to release the prisoner.

At noon that day, when Lao Pan was calling Anxin's home, Mao Jie had just completed the formalities for acquittal and left the detention center of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's pre-trial department without saying a word.

After the case was transferred to the procuratorate for prosecution, the case was closed in the anti-narcotics brigade. Before Mao Jie was released from prison, Captain Pan submitted a report to the Municipal Bureau, requesting that the case be opened for investigation again, and the report was approved as soon as possible on the same day. In the evening, Captain Pan began to deploy squatting near Mao Jie's house. The squatting lasted for a week, and Mao Jie did not come back. He also sent people to investigate the few distant relatives of the Mao family, as well as Mao Jie's former classmates and friends, but they also found nothing. Mao Jie must have returned home once after his release. His home has not been visited for half a year since it was raided. He was in and out of the house for less than half an hour, as can be confirmed by eyewitnesses. He took some things from the house and went out of the house, and as soon as he got out of the house he headed west. Never been known since.

The captain's low mood on the phone made it difficult for Anxin to talk about the renewal of the leave. She thought that about the renewal of the vacation, she would go back to Nande in two days.

More than a week later, that is, when the anti-narcotics brigade's search for Mao Jie was fruitless, Anxin returned to Nande and met Lao Pan. Captain Pan told her that Mao Jie had been placed on file for investigation again, but he had already run away. All investigations have been temporarily halted, and the squatting forces deployed near Mao's home have been withdrawn. Maybe Mao Jie is no longer in the local area, and has long gone to Guangxi, Guangdong or further afield. And his brother, who has never shown up, of course, will not stay in the local area, maybe go to Thailand or Myanmar. There must be something wrong with his brother, if there is no problem, it is impossible for his mother and his brother to be locked up for so long, so many public trials, his parents have been killed by us, the family is ruined, but he still doesn't even show his figure, and he doesn't even dare to collect the corpses of his parents and parents. No problem, why don't you dare to collect it!

After listening to Captain Pan's rambling about the current situation of the case, his views and his complaints. He also talked about a lot of other things in the team - other cases and disputes between colleagues in the team, etc., and even who fought with whose wife and had divorced. It may be that Lao Pan hasn't seen Anxin for a long time, so he told her everything in the team, or it may be that he is too tired and getting old, so he is a little incoherent and incoherent, and Anxin can see that Lao Pan has been very annoying recently.

She patiently waited for Lao Pan to finish speaking, and then said some words of sympathy and concern for Lao Pan himself, asking him to pay more attention to rest, adjustment, and the combination of work and rest. Then she turned the topic to herself, talking about her body, talking about the child, and saying that the child's milk stopped early, so the body was weak and the illness came more. Unexpectedly, her rendering had just begun, and Lao Pan interrupted her: "I think you don't have to rush back to work, you can renew your vacation, anyway, you are an intern and don't occupy the establishment here, just wait for the child to be one year old before you go to work, so it is good for the child and for you." ”

She didn't expect Lao Pan to take the initiative to say this, which made her extremely moved and ashamed. She thought that Lao Pan would be unhappy, and even gave her a few more words with a straight face before approving it, as she did last time when she saw her off at the train station. She blushed and said, "Captain, I, actually, I am very reluctant to do it, but this paragraph, I don't know how to do it, my heart is very messy, and I don't know how to do it." ”

Lao Pan was a little strange when he saw Anxin like this: "Ahem, it's not like you're not coming back, didn't you say that you are going to go down in the anti-drug brigade in the future, ah?" ”

An Xin was stunned for a long time, speechless, but in the end she nodded. If you say goodbye, if you break up, if you never come back, she really can't say it.

That's how I talked to the team about renewing my vacation. She didn't leave in a hurry, and stayed in Nande for two more days, helping the team office to replace her internal staff Xiaoliang to explain and clean up some documents. She didn't know at all that in the two days since she left Guangping to return to Nande to renew her vacation, something happened at home, which completely changed the life path she had planned and the direction of life she had foreseen.

This happened on the morning of Anxin's departure from Guangping, and Tie Jun's father, who was the deputy director of the Municipal People's Congress, made a phone call to Tie Jun's mother, saying that he had something to talk to her about. This call surprised and uneasy Tie Jun's mother, because in her impression, the deputy director Xing had never taken the initiative to call her personally. She asked: Director Xing, what's the matter? Director Xing said: You should come here, and I will tell you when you come.

Tie Jun's mother immediately went out, couldn't find a taxi, took a bus, walked for more than ten minutes, and rushed to the home of Deputy Director Xing anxiously. Deputy Director Xing let Tie Jun's mother go to the study, so that his eyes were open to his loverβ€”Tie Jun's mother could see itβ€”and waited for the little nanny to finish pouring tea and withdraw, before slowly speaking.

"There's something I think I should talk to you about. Lao Zhang and I have been very comfortable for so many years, we talked about everything when Lao Zhang was alive, and when he was seriously ill, he also entrusted you and Tie Jun to me, I think I still have to take responsibility for you. ”

This opening remark made Tie Jun's mother's face as earthy, and her voice trembled a little: "Director Xing, what happened, just say it, I can stand it." ”

Deputy Director Xing took out a newspaper and handed it over. Tie Jun's mother saw clearly that it was a copy of the "Nande Daily", dated a few months ago. On the side handed to her, there was a full-page article with an impassioned title "Contemporary Heroes of the People's Defenders", and there was a paragraph in it, and I don't know who had marked it with a red pencil. She didn't use Deputy Director Xing's prompt, so she went to see the section marked with a bar first. Looking at her, she seemed to understand something, and her heart was pounding. Deputy Director Xing handed her another document, which was a "Situation Study" issued by the Legal Work Committee of the Guangping Municipal People's Congress. This is an internal publication, on which a report written by a reporter from the political and legal section of Guangping Daily was published. The first paragraph in bold font shocked Tie Jun's mother - "Nande tried drug dealers and broke out a public security scandal. The lawyer exposes the shady scene, and the public security prosecutor loses the case! She looked down anxiously, her mind was messed up, and she sobbed in front of Deputy Director Xing.

The "Reflection of the Situation" is written in an extremely sharp way, and the description of the personality and character of the unnamed policewoman is almost unreadable. Deputy Director Xing said: "I also just saw this situation, and it was mentioned that the Nande Daily had done positive publicity about this matter before, so I asked the secretary to look at this newspaper as well, and sure enough, there was this paragraph." It doesn't seem like it's fake. I know that Tie Jun has a good relationship with her, and you are also good to her. But if she has this kind of thing, you should still let you understand it clearly, and you should know about her behavior. During her relationship with Tie Jun, she with other young men, and later wanted to get rid of others in order to marry Tie Jun, so she used the convenience of her position to frame her. If this matter spreads in the future, it will be a disgraceful thing for Tie Jun, for you, and for the spirit of Comrade Lao Zhang in heaven. Sooner or later, this will be the case, so you should know it early and be prepared. The reputation is not glorious, it sounds good or not, it is still a trivial matter, I am worried about that child, will he not be an iron army at all! This child must have been conceived by Nand, and it was during the period when she was secretly associating with the young man behind your back and Tie Jun. The child's name was still chosen by me, Zhang Jizhi, and I mean to let this child inherit Comrade Zhang Zhi's legacy. Therefore, I also have the responsibility to remind you of this matter, if the child is not Zhang Zhi's flesh and blood at all, then calling this name is a great disrespect to Comrade Zhang Zhi! I suggest that you take this matter seriously and it is best to go to the hospital to check it out. Now paternity testing hospitals can do it. If you don't want to be public, I can help you find the leaders of the city's first hospital, they are President Liu and I know me well, just ask them to keep it secret for you. ”

I think Tiejun's mother must have stepped on cotton to come home, maybe she took the bus and took the stop. When she got home, she first called Tie Jun's work unit and asked Tie Jun to come back immediately, saying that there was an urgent matter at home. Then he walked to the room where Anxin lived, took the little nanny who was watching the children, closed the door, and was stunned for a while before he began to look at Anxin's things randomly. In the reassuring things, notebooks, letters or anything, there are just clothes and daily necessities and the like, the only few pages of textual things found, open it and see that it is a pile of bills, the accounts inside are remembered in detail, a stitch and a thread, more serious than the little nanny remembers, and I can't see anything abnormal. Tie Jun's mother originally appreciated the peace of mind, she was indeed a good daughter-in-law who could run a family, and even the account of a dime, as long as it was spent from her, was well documented. Looking at those bills, Tie Jun's mother was stunned for a moment and sighed. In fact, if it weren't for Deputy Director Xing's summons today, let her know that Anxin still has such a dark and corrupt side, she has been looking at the superficial phenomenon, and she really can't find any fault with her daughter-in-law who has passed the door.

Without turning into anything suspicious, she turned around the room, and then she saw the child sleeping in the crib.

The child's face was white and round, and she still looked very much like Tie Jun. Some people also say that like her dead wife Zhang Zhi, looking at his round nose facing the sky, it really has a bit of that meaning. She looked at it suspiciously for a long time, thinking that everything else can be forgiven, the young people of the current water Yanghua, you can't recognize this kind of mistake, fortunately, before marriage, criticize and educate her a few words and take her a handle. It's just that this kid must not be a fake, and he must not be a thief of the suspect. If so, even if Tie Jun can accept it, she can't accept it. Even if she can accept it, her wife Zhang Zhi can't accept it. She can't be sorry for Zhang Zhi, this is a big problem related to the inheritance of the Zhang family, as Zhang Zhi's comrade-in-arms and wife, she has no right to make a fake for the Zhang family!

At noon, Zhang Tiejun rushed back, and the mother and son chattered in their mother's bedroom for a long time before they came out. Then, Tie Jun's mother whispered a phone call to someone, and then, Tie Jun hurried out of the house with the child and his mother. I think that the little nanny at that time saw that something must have happened, because Zhang Tiejun's face was blue when he went out.

On the same day, Zhang Tiejun and the month-old baby named Zhang Jizhi took blood samples at the First Hospital of Guangping City. When the blood sample was taken, the director of the hospital called the doctor outside the door and muttered in his ear for a while. The doctor nodded to indicate that he understood, and his expression immediately became serious, and he only told Tie Jun and Tie Jun's mother who was holding the child to do this and that, and didn't ask anything else.

After the blood sample was collected, someone from the hospital went to the province on the same day to run errands, so the blood sample was taken away. According to President Liu of the First Hospital, there are many hospitals in Guangping City that can do paternity tests, but all that can be done are paternity tests such as blood, gills cells, tissue cells and **, which are not as accurate as DNA. This matter was assigned by Secretary Xing (the dean is still accustomed to calling Deputy Director Xing's former position), so it is better not to make a mistake in 10,000, and it is safer and more reassuring to send it to the province for identification. There is no unit in Guangping that can do DNA testing.

What DNA is, Tie Jun knows a little, his mother's knowledge has not been updated to this point, so he is not very clear, so he asked this Dean Liu. Dean Liu gave a simple popular science answer to this: DNA, also known as deoxyribonucleic acid, is actually genes and chromosomes. It is a molecular substance of human cells. The sperm cells of males and the egg cells of females each have twenty-three pairs of chromosomes. When the sperm and egg are combined, there are a total of 46 chromosomes to create a single life. So, the child's DNA must have the same genetic barcode as the mother's, and another genetic barcode as the father's. If you are not your biological parents, you certainly don't have the same genetic barcode as your child. The DNA of everyone in the world is different, and it has never been found that two people have exactly the same genes, just like human fingerprints, unless they are twins born of a real mother.

As soon as she said this, Tie Jun's mother understood. But the more I understood, the more nervous I became. They carried the child home, and the child whom Tie Jun had loved before leaving home to go to work in the morning had now fallen asleep frowning in the arms of adults after a lot of tossing and crying in the hospital. Tie Jun also frowned, he hugged him, for some reason he felt extraordinarily heavy, coming out of thin air, a little strange. Who knows if this child is his own flesh and blood?

They went home, and they had no intention of eating or drinking. No one talked to anyone, and in the evening, Tie Jun's mother scolded the little nanny and cried for a trivial matter, and Tie Jun did not persuade him. As if waiting for the verdict, they waited for news of their return from Kunming. Tie Jun wanted to call Anxin and ask her, but was stopped by his mother. What the are you fighting now, and you don't know anything now, what do you say to her?

Two days later, it was still morning, and it was still the deputy director Xing who called Tie Jun's house. Tie Jun's mother answered the phone, let the child be coaxed by the little nanny, and left the house in a hurry. She first went to the Tiejun unit to call the Tiejun, and then the two hurried to Deputy Director Xing's house together.

Deputy Director Xing's wife was not at home, and the little nanny also went out, so they talked in the living room, straight to the point, and as soon as Tie Jun's mother sat down, she asked:

"Director Xing, are the results out?"

Deputy Director Xing nodded.

Tie Jun's mother said, "Is it Tie Jun's?" ”

Deputy Director Xing didn't look at Tie Jun and said, "No." ”

Tie Jun's mother stared at Deputy Director Xing and didn't speak for a long time. She stared at Deputy Director Xing in order not to look at Tie Jun. At this time, she was afraid to look into her son's eyes. Deputy Director Xing said: "The test list is still in the Provincial People's Hospital, but the results of Guangping First Hospital President Liu already know. In the morning, Dean Liu called me and told me about the situation. The list will come in a few days, and you will see it when it comes. ”

Tie Jun's mother only took a sneak glance at Tie Jun at this time, and Tie Jun lowered his head with a calm face and remained silent. Tie Jun's mother was distraught, but she did her best to maintain her apparent composure, she said:

"Look, that's it, what you Director Xing assigned, can they still make mistakes?"

Deputy Director Xing lit a cigarette, smoked it, and said as calmly as possible: "You should take a look when the list comes." You have to take this list, if Tiejun wants to divorce in the future, it will also involve the issue of the responsibility for raising this child, if there is a lawsuit, this list is evidence. The conclusion of the genetic test is recognized by any court. Recognized by the whole world. Of course, how to deal with this matter, you still have to go back and discuss it yourself, whether to divorce or not, what to do with the children, you have your own opinions. I think it mainly listens to the opinion of Tie Jun himself. However, I think that whether you want this child or not, his name will definitely not be used anymore. I came up with the name, and I am qualified to make this opinion. You all know the meaning of Jizhi, since he is not a descendant of Comrade Zhang Zhi, what is Jizhi called, and which Zhi is he inherited! Of course, the child himself is innocent. ”

Tie Jun's mother and son turned red in the eyes of these words, and Tie Jun's mother said: "I'm sorry for Lao Zhang ......" As soon as she said this, she choked up, and she choked up and said, "This marriage is my master, I'm sorry for their Zhang family, I'm sorry for Tie Jun's ......"

Tie Jun, who had been silent with a sullen face, interrupted his mother's words: "Mom, let's go." And he said, "Thank you, Uncle Xing." ”

After he finished speaking, he got up from the sofa, and Tie Jun's mother also stood up, wiped her tears, and said goodbye to Deputy Director Xing: "Thank you, Director Xing, I thank you for Lao Zhang." ”

They left Deputy Director Xing's house, and as soon as they got on the street, Tiejun raised his hand and called a taxi. Tiejun rarely takes a taxi in normal times. Tiejun's mother didn't say anything, they got into a taxi, and the driver asked where to go? Tie Jun looked out the window and didn't speak, and Tie Jun's mother hurriedly said the address of her home. All the way to the car shop, Tie Jun kept looking out the window, with a calm face and didn't say a word.

When they got home, it was already noon. As soon as Tie Jun entered the house, he entered the study, and then locked the door. The little nanny didn't cook lunch because she was watching the children alone. Tie Jun's mother gave the little nanny a few dollars and asked her to go to the small restaurant on the street to eat something casually, and then knocked on the door of the study, and Tie Jun was silent for a long time. Tie Jun's mother leaned on the door and listened, but there was no sound inside. Tie Jun's mother couldn't help crying when she got home, but how could she cry again when she saw her son like this! She stood outside the door of the study, and shouted loudly in a trembling voice: "Tie Jun, Tie Jun, you are a man, what are you afraid of!" If you feel bad, you cry! Just shout! You're going to drop something! Yes! You don't have to hold back! Don't hold it back and don't suffocate yourself! ”

She listened to the door, but there was still no sound in the door, and if she listened harder, she faintly heard Tie Jun's suppressed sobs. Tie Jun is an introvert, a quiet person, an intellectual, and not used to yelling and throwing things. Tie Jun's mother was distressed and her son was distressed, and she didn't dare to knock hard when she knocked on the door. She knew that her son loved his daughter-in-law wholeheartedly, and her son always felt that his daughter-in-law's character couldn't be better, and that his daughter-in-law could do such an ugly thing that insulted his ancestors, which was really a bolt from the blue for him. Tie Jun's mother can't take care of anything else, she thinks that her son can't figure it out, and her spirit must collapse, she is such a son, and her son must hold on!

Just when the six gods were gone, the door of the study slammed open, startling her. The son rushed out and went straight to his own bedroom. She called out Iron Army! Tie Jun had already come out of the bedroom with the child in his arms. The child was sleeping, and he was hugged and cried, and the cry was loud and piercing. This cry was the same as Tie Jun's murderous face, which made Tie Jun's mother's heart beat wildly, and she almost jumped out of her throat!

She shouted, "Tie Jun, what are you going to do?" Children are not guilty! ”

Tie Jun rushed to the door, didn't turn his head, didn't say a word, and the moment he rushed past his mother's side, the mother faintly heard a hiss from her son's chest.

Tie Jun rushed out of the door, and Tie Jun's mother was stunned for a long time before grabbing a small thin from the empty crib and being chased out. When he went out, he was no longer in sight. She took the small quilt and subconsciously ran towards the street for a while, and the endless traffic at the street stopped her. A conjecture flashed through her mind that shocked even herself, could it be that the Iron Army would go to South Germany? Nande is hundreds of miles away from Guangping. Did he casually run around the nearby streets with his child in his arms to vent, or did he really not want to stop for a minute and send the child to Nande?
