Chapter 1000: The Past Five Years Ago
"How did you subdue them?" Qian Bin asked.
Zhao Leng gritted his teeth and got up and shook his head.
"No ......"
"Huh?" Qian Bin squinted his eyes and asked, "What do you mean no?" β
Zhao Leng shook his head: "I didn't subdue them, and even I didn't know what happened at that time." That night, I was so shaken by one of them that my brain was buzzing with a stick, and I don't know how long it lasted to fall to the ground. By the time I woke up, it was all over. β
"The end?" Qian Bin frowned: "What is it called, the end?" β
"That's ......" Zhao Leng wrapped his two fingers together, his eyes flashed left and right, grabbed the wine bottle at his feet, muttered a big mouthful, and a cold feeling came from his throat: "When I woke up, there were corpses lying all around, all holding weapons in my hands, and the baton on my waist was gone, presumably they were taken away by them." β
"Yes...... Are you alright? Qian Bin asked.
"Unscathed." Zhao Leng laughed miserably, and based on her tone, it seemed as if she would rather be injured.
Qian Bin looked at Zhao Leng for a long time, and found that he couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "But senior, isn't it a good thing that you are not injured?" It is also thanks to you that you can subdue so many people in one breath in the case of injury. β
Zhao Leng smiled bitterly and shook her head, she drank all the remaining wine in one go, looked at Qian Bin, her face sank, and asked, "If it were you, do you think this is possible?" Is it realistic? β
Qian Bin thought about it and could only shake his head.
"That's right." Zhao Leng said: "As you think, this thing can't happen at all, and it can't happen. In fact, I just fainted. At that time, a man appeared and protected me, and left me there unharmed. β
"Who's that man?" Qian Bin asked.
"His surname is Ma." Zhao Leng lowered his head, and his voice twitched a little: "It's Director Ma's son." He had just graduated from the Police Academy that year, and he was only 22 years old, and he came to the bureau for an internship. β
Qian Bin was silent.
"He ......" Zhao Leng turned around, his face shining under the pillar of light on the side of the street, glowing: "In order to save me, he fell there, bleeding like a river, with serious brain damage, and damage to the prefrontal lobe, on the third day of rescue, Lao Ma told me......"
Zhao Leng's hands were twisted together: "He gave up the treatment." β
Qian Bin's eyes twitched and he was silent.
He ...... Saved you? β
"Of course." Zhao Leng's eyes widened.
"But...... But for some reason, after that incident, many people came out with strange rumors. Zhao Leng clenched his fists: "That case was closed in the end, because all the suspects died unexpectedly, for which we paid the price of a young police officer." β
"The officer, even the old chief's son." Qian Bin said.
"He wasn't the director at the time." Zhao Leng smiled bitterly: "Whether it is or not, they shouldn't say that about my life-saving benefactor." β
"Them?" Qian Bin asked with some curiosity.
"Everyone." Zhao Leng's face darkened, she turned around and looked at Qian Bin with a calm face: "At that time, there was a saying that Lao Ma's son was the root of all the troubles, and in order to destroy the evidence, he misled those poor implicated suspects, telling them that the police decided to convict them, and everyone would be affected - after that, they were even provided with the tools to escape from prison, and they were dealt with at the same time as they escaped......"
"This rumor is concrete enough!" Qian Bin gritted his teeth and said.
Zhao Leng narrowed his eyes and said, "Not only that, but they also spread rumors that the old horse itself is not clean...... What do you say, for the sake of his own political achievements, he had to wipe this matter clean, so he planned this "righteous murder case", which not only eliminated the evidence, but also eliminated the unclean son who did dirty things in his infancy, without waiting for the East Window Incident to happen - rumors like this. β
Qian Bin's cheeks flushed: "What do they say about you?" β
"Then I won't mention it." Zhao Leng laughed miserably: "Say that I colluded with Lao Ma." Otherwise, with such a major work mistake, why would Lao Ma still try his best to protect me and pull me back to the criminal department from the grassroots level, and even my career will be smoother than before. β
"They don't know that Director Ma must treat you as if you were his own daughter! After all...... Back then, you were the one his precious son Libao! Qian Bin said indignantly.
Zhao Leng smiled sadly: "Qian Bin, Qian Bin, you are too naΓ―ve." I have only said these things to you, but there is no one who can corroborate them for me, let alone the slightest evidence, and you believe me so easily on the basis of my words. What if the opposite happened? β
"I believe in you, senior." Qian Bin opened his mouth and smiled.
Zhao Leng shook his head helplessly, patted Qian Bin's head, and said, "Don't talk about this matter to others." β
Qian Bin smiled and said, "Senior, if you trust me, I will naturally not disappoint you." β
"Now you know-" Zhao Leng waved his hand, pushed the empty bottle away, and the whole person staggered to the ground again: "I'm just a useless woman." Not only do the people around me give up their lives to protect me, I can't even protect him, their reputation, I can only drink and have fun in such a garbage heap, is it a solid loser? β
Qian Bin didn't know how to respond, he picked up Zhao Leng and said, "Senior, there are some things I don't understand, but about you, I think you are a very powerful person." β
"Powerful?" Zhao Leng smiled bitterly: "Even if you mock me, you don't need to be so vicious, right?" β
Qian Bin shook his head desperately and said, "This is not sarcasm, senior, I think so in my heart." β
Zhao Leng sighed: "Maybe it's probably just you, and now you will think so at this moment." But do you understand, until now, as a police officer, I can't even save a single person around me. Seeing the last clue disappear, everything returned to chaos. Can you understand how it feels? β
Qian Bin did not answer.
Zhao Leng shook her head, let go of Qian Bin, turned around and left, she waved her hand, and said, "You can't understand it...... I...... I can't even understand my own ......"
Zhao Leng straightened up, waved his hand, and saw that he was about to disappear into the endless corner of the street, his body shook, and he spit out a strong taste of wine. At first, Qian Bin didn't say a word, squatted quietly in the corner, two hands boredly playing with the fallen leaves on the ground, his eyes opened and closed, and suddenly said:
"Senior, if you just leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to find the truth for the rest of your life, and you will live in your own remorse and incompetence for the rest of your life, do you really think it doesn't matter?"
Zhao Leng stood still, but his tone was still indifferent, and said, "Ah, for me, it's not important anymore. The mistakes I can make and the wrong things I can do are already countless. β
"What if someone told you you had a chance to redeem it?" Qian Bin stared at Zhao Leng, who was standing still, and knew that her heart had begun to waver.
"What do you mean?" Sure enough, after Zhao Leng hesitated again and again, she looked back at Qian Bin, her shoulders shook violently like chaff, she sniffed, although her cheeks were wiped clean, it was not difficult to see the tears on her face.
Qian Bin stood up, but he didn't rush to answer, he put his hand in his trouser pocket, came to Zhao Leng casually, wiped it away with his fingers along her cheek, wiped away the tears on his face little by little, and then said:
"Director Feng said that he was looking for you for something." Qian Bin said.
Zhao Leng twisted her hands together, the look on her face was even more aggrieved, she shook her head stubbornly, gritted her teeth and said, "I...... I still see what he does, the plan has failed. β
Zhao Leng turned his head and wanted to leave again.
Qian Bin grabbed her arm, used enough strength in his hand, and said, "If the case is no longer saved, what else is he looking for you?" β
Zhao Leng smiled bitterly: "What else can you do, count me down, blame me, and criticize me." Whatever he wants, even if he dismisses me because of this, I'm not surprised at all. β
Qian Bin was stunned, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Senior, in your eyes, is Director Feng so unsightly?" β
Zhao Leng gritted his teeth and nodded solemnly.
"What do you think if I tell you that he is in a hurry this time and all the people in charge of this case are discussed together, and even the people from the General Administration are called over?"
Zhao Leng was silent, listening to Qian Bin's words, the situation should be true. But she couldn't understand that if she really planned to be accountable, she wouldn't alarm her superiors, let alone take the initiative to gather several important leaders above, this old Feng was not so brainless.
What trick does he want to play?
Seeing that Zhao Leng was stunned for a moment, and didn't say a word, Qian Bin knew that there was a door. He immediately grabbed Zhao Leng and said:
"Think about it, if this Director Feng is not fully sure, he dares to do such a thing? Isn't this self-inflicted? Senior, I know that you are at odds with this new director, and to be honest, I don't like him either. But if he can really help you out, that's a good thing. β
Zhao Leng hesitated, she turned around, looked at Qian Bin, and hesitated: "I ......"
"Don't ...... Go. Qian Bin felt his blood surge, grabbed Zhao Leng's arm and left, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one.
"After all, go and see, you won't suffer. Director Feng said that he had something important to announce, about this case. You don't want to miss it. β
Zhao Leng's heart throbbed, gritted his teeth, and felt that Qian Bin's words did make some sense, and he no longer shirked it.
"Anyway, senior, if you don't take this step, nothing will change."
Zhao Leng's heart rippled for a while, and he was forcibly dragged back to the police station by Qian Bin.
Back at the city bureau, the two soldiers split into two ways, Qian Bin went to find Director Feng, and by the way, he probed the truth and inquired about the truth. Zhao Leng poured a belly of beer, although he was not drunk, but he always got a lot of alcohol.
She pulled back to the bureau, ready to freshen up and tidy up her appearance, after all, the big leader was going to come to the meeting, and she couldn't be too sloppy.
Who knew that at this critical time, the limited toilet in the office of the city bureau was occupied, and Zhao Leng had no choice but to take a break from the old toilet in the old building. This building is the site of the old police station, and it is only a few dozen meters away from the newly built new station, which is almost opposite the building.
After Zhao Leng cleaned up, he was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound outside the compartment.
She felt that something was wrong, so she crawled on the inner wall of the cell, pricked up her ears, and listened intently to the movement inside.
The sound of footsteps, little by little, from far to near. After listening carefully, Zhao Leng realized that there were probably two people one after the other.
