Sixty-four. newspaper
It was a very hot day in August, and I had just finished my mission outside, and I immediately got into the car with my hands on the steering wheel. Cao Yang, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, spoke.
"Do you know what day it is?"
I glanced at the calendar on my phone, August 3rd. "What's wrong?" I asked, confused
"Today is the day of Liu Dayu's verdict, and it is estimated that there will be relevant reports later."
Cao Yang reminded me that it had been a few days since the serial murders were committed some time ago. Because the murderer is a well-known player, the social reaction is relatively sensational. Naturally, the court of trial is not our Shangzhou City, because the place where the crime occurred is Hongxing City, so naturally the judgment should be made there.
I mumbled and didn't speak. I started the car and went back to the police station. I was lazy and even more reluctant to work when I heard the news, sitting in a chair in the office in a daze. It's not that I feel sorry for Dayu, he is a criminal and will naturally be severely punished by the law. What I'm worried about is the process, it's me who went through the case, I'm the one who exposes the truth, and sometimes I often ask myself if it's the right thing to do. The more crimes I exposed, the more I felt that I was no different from them, and I became insensitive to the warmth and coldness of the world, became emotionless, and became a cold-blooded person. But if I don't expose it, I'll be a police officer again.
The afternoon passed in such a mess, and at five o'clock, I got off work on time. I didn't say anything, put on my clothes and walked out of the police station.
Turn right out of the police station, I wanted to go to the station in front to wait for the train, but I didn't expect that the sidewalk, which was only more than one meter, was occupied by a middle-aged man driving an electric car in front. Standing behind him I was a little impatient, saying that it was a coincidence that a bus passing by my house was speeding down the street. The bus driver is sometimes in a hurry, driving so fast.
Seeing that the car I was waiting for was about to leave, I asked the man in front of me impatiently.
"Can you hurry up, take up the space and don't leave." I didn't say it angrily.
The man in front turned around, and it was a middle-aged man just like I was looking at from behind. With glasses, I can't see my eyes clearly, and it is obvious that my glasses have not been wiped for a long time. The clothes he wears are also very ordinary, and he can't pick out a trace of strangeness or vulgarity. Maybe this is really ordinary.
The middle-aged man pushed his glasses, "I'm sorry, my son wants to buy that weekly anime weekly, and I bought it for him for the first time, so it took a long time." ”
I only reacted when the man said this, and there was a newsstand next to the place where he parked, and he usually didn't look carefully when he passed by, and besides, no one bought newspapers and periodicals now. I poked my head out, first, to ask him to buy it quickly, and second, he was really pitiful.
"Well, is this it, I used to watch this a lot when I was a student."
The man called his son and said what was on it, as if it had been confirmed, and a happy smile appeared on the man's face.
Putting down the phone, the man turned back and said more than one thank you, and then rode away. I was able to cross the sidewalk, and I turned around and the people behind me were bypassing the newsstand. I couldn't help but feel ashamed of my stupidity, how could I not think that I was overwhelmed by the events of the day and could not know.
To comfort myself, I leaned half-leaning on the newsstand, my eyes following my hands in the magazines and newspapers for what interested me.
"What are you buying?" The newspaper owner asked.
I didn't speak.
"I don't have that kind of vulgar stuff here." The boss seems to have sensed that I was a police officer.
"Uh-huh, I know, if you sell it next to the police station, I think you're bold."
"Yes, yes, you're a police officer, I often see you at the door of the police station." The boss accosted.
"Whew." I continued to look for it on my own, and finally found a copy of the Law Daily.
"That's it."
"Okay, two dollars in total."
I paid and came to the station with the newspaper. Just after a while, the bus came. I got into the car and sat in a window seat. Spread out the newspaper.
"Legal Daily, I haven't read it for a long time, I didn't read it less when I was in college, I really miss it." I muttered.
Coincidentally, the headline of today's edition is the verdict of Liu Dayu's case, which is why I bought this newspaper, and sure enough, I made the right bet.
"After the verdict of the Hongxing City High People's Court, Liu Dayu was sentenced to death and immediately executed." This is the beginning of the whole story, and I didn't look down when I saw this. I think it's probably Dayu's life or something.
Close the newspaper and look out the window. I tried to make myself sad, but no matter how I recalled Dayu's wonderful performance in the team, I couldn't feel sad. I don't know if this is my progress as a police officer or as a human regression.
I folded the newspaper around until I couldn't fold it. I held it in my hand, and the content of Dayu's verdict happened to be folded to the top by me, and I subconsciously turned it over, intending to see if the content behind it was still related to this case.
But I don't know if I don't read it, and I'm shocked when I read it. The things that followed shocked me far more than Dayu's case.
"The latest news I got this morning, the first round of financing of Ruiye Real Estate's project, finally ended with Ruiye voluntarily giving up. It is reported that Ruiye Real Estate has returned all the money financed, and the plan for the large-scale development of the west of the city seems to be shelved. Insiders of Ruiye Real Estate broke the news that the content of the project may be unreasonable, and it seems that it is better to take a wait-and-see attitude on whether to continue to develop the west of the city in the future. Legal Daily xxx reporter reports. ”
The report of just over 100 words is enough to make people feel shocked, and the news of the storm in the city that was still circulating last month has now come to an abrupt end. What the engineer said a few days ago didn't work out as expected.
Although I know that even if I build it, the housing prices will not be out of my reach, but I still feel a little sorry. After all, I have been forced to pay attention for a long time, and now it has ended like this. Before I could think any further, I heard the bell ringing at the station. I hurriedly got out of the car. Back home, I felt like I should know the real story of the story, because I still have to trust the real mainstream media.
Thinking of this, I turned on the TV and waited for the news before the show. During this time, I went downstairs to buy a bento, and it became so normal to sit in front of the TV and eat it and watch the TV.
At half past six, the half-hour-long Sangju News Network didn't even mention this matter, and I couldn't help but be a little disappointed, looking at the half box of bento left on the table, I instantly lost my appetite.
After the news, it was naturally a TV series, because I was really tired, and I was forced to watch the TV series while sitting on the sofa. After watching it for ten minutes, I thought it was very interesting, so I hurriedly sat up and ate the half box of bento on the table as I watched......
