At 10 o'clock in the morning on June 29, 2016, Fan Cong's memorial service was held on time at the R City Funeral Home. Nearly 1,000 public security officers and police officers and the people of R City attended the solemn memorial service to mourn the people's heroes who died bravely in the arrest operation.

Fan Cong was dressed in a police uniform, lying quietly in the coffin, his expression was serene, and he looked as if he was asleep. Above the mourning hall was written the words "People's Heroes Are Immortal", and wreaths sent by various units and citizens filled the surroundings of the farewell hall.

From time to time, there were low sobs from relatives, friends and colleagues at the memorial service, and Fan Cong's parents and his new girlfriend Qi Ruonan cried from beginning to end in heartbreak.

However, on this special day, as Fan Cong's best partner and friend before his death, Gu Song was very surprised not to attend the memorial service.

Since the night before yesterday, after Gu Song left the funeral home in grief, his mobile phone was turned off, no one could be found at home or at work, and no one knew where he went.

Late at night on July 1, four days after Fan Cong's death, Gu Song dragged his tired body back home. He took off his shoes at the door, put down his hiking bag, and went straight to the bathroom to take a hot shower. Then, lying limp on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep in only a few seconds.

I slept in the dark and had nightmares. Several times he struggled to wake up, but his consciousness was trapped by nightmares, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't return to reality. I don't know how long it took, but he vaguely heard someone talking to him, "Wake up, hey, wake up......

The voice sounded real, familiar. He opened his eyes in a daze, saw a man standing beside his bed, looked at him with a worried look and asked, "Are you alright?" ”

Gu Song hadn't completely broken free from the nightmare, and he felt groggy in his head. It took about half a minute or so for him to regain his consciousness and realize that the person he was talking to was actually Xia Shi.

"Oh my god, when did you come?" Gu Song was taken aback, sat up from the bed abruptly, and asked in surprise like a ghost, "How did you get in?" ”

Xia Shi shook the key chain in his hand and said, "I took the key to your house from Team Qiao, and I will come over to take a look as long as I have time these days." In case you sneak back unconsciously, I'll find out about the situation as soon as possible and report it to Team Joe in time. ”

"You don't want to......" Gu Song barely squeezed out a wry smile, "I'm just going out for a walk, you don't need to be so nervous, right?" ”

"Really?" Xia Shi raised his eyebrows disapprovingly and said, "What is your own situation, don't you know in your heart?" Think about what you've done in the previous 'disappearances'? We just don't worry about your personal safety, we have to think about others, don't we? ”

"Don't worry, I'm normal and haven't done anything that harms the interests of the people and society." Gu Song said and collapsed on the bed exhausted, rubbing his temples in pain. "I'm fine. You go back and tell Team Joe not to worry about me, you should do what you want, don't worry about me. ”

"What's nosy?" Xia Shi was very dissatisfied with this statement, thinking that he was not full of food, and he had a comfortable life, but he spent his time and energy on this unappreciative guy. He took a step forward, dragged Gu Song up from the bed stiffly, and asked angrily, "You made it clear, where have you been in the past few days?" Why don't you say hi to us and don't contact us? ”

"I've said it all, I just want to go out for a walk alone, and I don't want to be disturbed by anyone." Gu Song replied helplessly, feeling that he couldn't sleep when he returned to the cage.

"I saw a dirty hiking bag at the door, and the bathroom with your outdoor gear you took off. To tell you the truth, did you go to ......" Xia Shi pondered the words and asked, "Did you go to the place where the police carried out the arrest mission?" ”

"How do you know?"

"Fan Cong is your best partner and friend, you didn't even attend his memorial service, you must have gone to a very memorable place. Think about it, the Longquan Mountain in the southeast of R City is the place where Fan Cong subdued the criminal suspect and died honorably. If you hadn't gone to Shen Hang to settle accounts without telling us all, you should have been by Fan Cong's side when you carried out the arrest mission. I know your character too well, if something like this happens, you must feel very sorry for Fan Cong, and even think that Fan Cong was killed by you. But I want to say that if you had been there at the time of the incident, you might have been able to change this unfortunate outcome, but there is also a possibility that you might have been the one who was killed by the bullet. ”

"I'd rather be like that......" Gu Song said sadly, his eyes instantly darkened.

Xia Shi disagreed with Gu Song's statement, and asked rhetorically: "What's the good of you if you die?" Stop saying things willful and irresponsible. I admire your bravery and fearlessness, but can you not be so selfish, can you cherish your own life, can you think about your family and friends, can you not always let us worry about you? Fan Cong's death has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to fight to be a martyr. Since the ending is irretrievable, you will give me a good life, live seriously. Don't always think about messy things, do what you have to do and do your part. Only in this way can you be worthy of Fan Cong's trust in you. ”

Hearing this, Gu Song looked at Xia Shi in a daze, and after a long time, he asked suspiciously, "I have been suspended, what else can I do now?" ”

"Wouldn't you know what you can do by calling Liu Yang from Branch F?"

"Ah, you mean ......" After Xia Shi's reminder, Gu Song suddenly remembered Yu Jianan's case. Since the 10th of June, he has been occupied by the serial shooting case and He Weiqi's life experience, and he has no time to ask about Yu Jianan. More than half a month has passed, and I don't know how the case is going and whether the murderer has been caught.

Although he had not yet recovered from the grief of losing Fan Cong, he knew that Xia Shi's words made sense. Even if he is sad, sad, remorseful, and self-blaming, he can't continue to be depressed.

The dead are gone, and those who are alive will continue to fulfill their responsibilities and continue to fight the criminals. In order to live up to Fan Cong's trust in him, he must cheer up as soon as possible and try to do something meaningful.

After more than ten minutes, Gu Song finished washing, shaved off his stubble, changed into clean and tidy clothes, and the whole person looked a lot refreshed.

After leaving the house, the two of them found a nearby place to eat. While waiting for the dishes, Gu Song anxiously asked Xia Shi, "By the way, how is Tian Rui's situation?" What are the results of the review? ”

Xia Shi lit a cigarette and took a slow puff, and his tired mood was finally relieved. In the past few days, for Gu Song's business, he has hardly rested after being busy. Although he didn't say it, he was more worried about Gu Song than anyone else. "On the day I came back, I helped her go through the procedures for hospitalization. According to the attending doctor, her physical condition is not too bad, and it is recommended to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time. In addition, her memory has basically recovered, which can be said to be a blessing in disguise. The next step is to recuperate. ”

"Tian Rui has no relatives, and after she is discharged from the hospital, I want to hire a nanny to take care of her, so that I can work with peace of mind."

"I've thought about this question too. It just so happened that a distant relative of my family was going to come to R City to work, and he used to work as a nanny in his hometown, and he was very good and had a friendly personality. Let her take care of Tian Rui, you can definitely rest assured. ”

"Really? That's great. Gu Song said with relief. The cost is ......."

Xia Shi waved his hand and asked Gu Song to stop the topic. "I'll take care of the money for you, so you don't have to worry about it."

Gu Song felt very moved, but he understood Xia Shi's temper, and after thinking about it, he swallowed those kind words back into his stomach, and just said lightly, "Thank you." ”

After being silent for a moment, Gu Song continued to ask, "Has the matter over there been handled by He Weiqi?" ”

"If you can hide it or deceive it, I'll help you fool it." Xia Shi was depressed when he remembered that incident, and couldn't help but complain, "Damn, you know that I'm the worst at lying." This time, I'm going to give up everything to help you. Fortunately, He Weiqi's kid is a big ghost, and his tone is also very strict, and he said that he was just idle and bored, and he followed you to travel to western Sichuan, which had nothing to do with this incident. ”

"So, Director Xia, they still don't know about the hostage exchange?"

"What a hostage exchange." Xia Shi spat out his cigarette, smiled and said, "The cause of the incident is that Miss M and Shen Hang had an internal conflict, and they planned to let go of the hostages and part ways with Shen Hang. She took the initiative to contact you and asked you to go over and take Tian Rui home, and betrayed Shen Hang and ran away again. What do you think of this version of the story? ”

"Sounds good." Gu Song gave a thumbs up when he was in the summer, and said teasingly, "It's easy to learn badly, but it's hard to learn well, and now you are starting to do things without following the rules." ”

Xia Shi shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "No way, who let me follow you on a thief ship." Although we succeeded in killing Shen Hang and solved a super big problem, in all fairness, our approach was really not advisable. Therefore, it is time to suspend and suspend work, and it is time to reflect and reflect, and I have accepted all these punishments. The most important thing is that I can personally avenge Xia Jinyu, even if I am expelled from the criminal police team, I have no regrets. ”

"Not expulsion. We can be regarded as having made a meritorious service, so we should make up for it. Gu Song looked at his new partner and said half-jokingly, "I hope that from today onwards, the two of us can work together happily on a thief ship." ”
