If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a square circle. ———— Mencius

If the moment is not correct, it cannot be square; If the rules are not correct, it cannot be round. - Huainanzi

Rules, is the birth of life is naturally formed a kind of law, rules, is experienced through countless generations of not only exploration and improvement and the formation of things, rules, is for people to abide by, not used to destroy trampling, we from birth to the end of life, all the time, need to abide by one or even dozens of rules, when you enter the school, you have to abide by the rules of the school, when you enter the society, you have to abide by the rules of the society, when you enter the workplace, you have to abide by the rules of the company, Rules are everywhere, for all the police who are struggling on the front line, the rules they have to abide by are the laws, and for criminals, the rules they abide by are their inner desires, rules, and things are not complicated, it's that simple.

On August 14th, after the police in S City conducted a case summary and analysis meeting, everyone was very busy, perhaps, for many people, it is a very exciting thing to find out the truth of the case, perhaps, when the criminal is arrested, brought to justice, and sent to the dock, it is an exciting thing, but, don't forget, before finding out the truth, the police need to do too much, it seems to be useless.

Since that night, Xu Lang appeared in Xu Lang's house, Xu Qi has never appeared again, it seems that there is no such person in this world, Xu Lang did not go to the Public Security Bureau to assist the police, he did not go to his own detective office, Xu Lang just nested at home every day, the door did not go out of the door, as if everyone was beautiful, people who are familiar with Xu Lang do not feel strange, and they are not familiar with Xu Lang, and they don't care how Xu Lang is doing? The fairness of the world, whoever leaves, life can still go on, and whoever is missing from the earth will continue to rotate as always.

In the blink of an eye, the time came to the end of August, spring went to autumn, and autumn came quietly like this.

During this time, what Xu Lang does every day is very simple, sleep until he wakes up naturally in the morning, after waking up, wash and eat, and then go to the hospital to change the dressing, after changing the medicine from the hospital, he goes home directly, and when he gets home, Xu Lang seems to have nothing to do, just read books, watch TV, listen to songs, and then sleep, day after day, Xu Lang himself doesn't know, what day is it, what day of the week.

Bu Zimo's case, as Xu Lang speculated before, with Bu Zimo's suicide in fear of crime, Bu Xinwen's active confession, Wang Hong's death, and a series of cases that happened before, all with the deepening of the investigation, came to the final stage, began to close the case, sealed the file, as for Gao Chenghua, who escaped from prison, so far, there is still no news, he seems to have evaporated from the world, no one knows whether he is alive or dead, as if this person has never appeared in this world.

Wang Jin, as the bartender of Wang Hong's bar and Wang Hong's apprentice, after Wang Hong's death, his whereabouts are also unknown and there is no whereabouts.

For Gao Chenghua, since he escaped from prison, the prison has not given up the search, but so far there is still nothing, the police in S City have also actively cooperated with the investigation, and the wanted warrant for Gao Chenghua has been issued across the country, and the police in S City have also proposed a reward of 100,000 yuan for those who provide Gao Chenghua's whereabouts or assist the police in arresting Gao Chenghua, however, after so long, there are many people who make reports and calls, but there are no valuable clues, in this regard, neither the police nor the prison are helpless.

Captain He Yongzhi, who was sent down from the Provincial Public Security Department, also left S City and returned to his own jurisdiction after Bu Zimo's case was over, Originally, Lu Ye was planning to hold a celebration banquet, but, in the face of so many dead people, no one had the heart to respond to this proposal, as for He Yongzhi, he directly rejected this proposal, He Yongzhi contacted Xu Lang alone before leaving S City, and the two sat in the car and chatted for a long time, no one knew what they said, but when they got out of the car, Whether it is Xu Lang or He Yongzhi, the faces of the two of them are not very good.

This time Bu Zimo's case, the most seriously injured is naturally the second criminal investigation team, Bu Zimo will not say for the time being, the sacrifice of the deputy captain of the second criminal investigation team alone is a huge loss for the police in S City, Zhao Hua is very young, and Xu Lang's age is about the same, he can sit in this position at this age, and his personal efforts are naturally inseparable, people, for Huaxia country is never lacking, but talent is scarce for a country, the country wants to cultivate an excellent talent, It takes a long time and costs to pay.

On August 15, it was the day when the S City Public Security Bureau held a memorial service for Zhao Hua, and Zhao Hua's body was cremated before.

No one was surprised that Zhao Hua was given the title of martyr by his superiors, and everyone felt that this was the honor that Zhao Hua deserved.

On August 15, it suddenly rained heavily in S City, which had been sunny for a long time, and all the members of the Second Criminal Investigation Team, including the criminal police of the First Criminal Investigation Team, and Lu Ye came to the scene to make a final send-off for Zhao Hua.

Farewell, always heavy, for the perennial struggle in the front line of the criminal police, death, in fact, is not terrible, in every criminal police into the public security system from the moment they start, they are ready to sacrifice at any time, death, not terrible, terrible, when to die? How to die? Why die? No one knows.

The cold tombstone stands in the martyr's cemetery lined with tombstones, Zhao Hua's photo is tightly attached to the cold tombstone, the photo is black and white, the above is a photo taken by Zhao Hua when he entered the police force, the photo on the photo looks very young, slightly green, he has struggled for so many years in the second criminal investigation team, after his sacrifice, the second criminal investigation team and his family found out in hindsight that Zhao Hua was almost thirty years old, and he is still single. The only thing he left to his family was a golden medal, a certificate of merit and a pennant, and nothing more.

The majestic rain poured down, the raindrops were like naughty children, gently patting the cold tombstone, as if to wake up the man who was sleeping forever, in front of the tombstone, full of white chrysanthemums, Lu Ye, Ning Yanran, Wu Yong, Zhang Lei and others, standing silently in the heavy rain, the atmosphere of the scene was very solemn and dignified.

Take off your hat, bow, salute, in fact, that's all Lu Ye can do.

Zhao Hua's parents are older, Zhao Hua's younger brother Zhao Chen held a huge umbrella to shelter the two old people from the wind and rain, they looked at Zhao Hua's cold tombstone, tears flowed, Zhao Hua's mother choked up several times, unable to say a word.

At the end of the send-off, Zhao Chen, a child who had just had fluff on his lips, stood in front of his brother's tombstone, his voice was not loud, but his tone was very firm: "Brother, don't worry, when I take the college entrance examination next year, I will take the exam of the police academy, you are the hero of our Zhao family, you are my role model, I will not embarrass you, I will also become a policeman who serves the name of the people." ”

After the send-off ceremony, everyone left one after another, Ning Yanran stayed, she squatted in front of Zhao Hua's tombstone, stretched out her slender fingers, and gently stroked Zhao Hua's photo, she bit her lip tightly, tears kept rolling in her eyes, touching and touching, Ning Yanran began to choke, the people of the second criminal investigation team stood in the distance, watching Ning Yanran squatting on the cold and wet ground, looking at her trembling shoulders, their feelings were very complicated.

Zhao Hua was killed by Bu Zimo, yes, but on the day of 7.12, he had a chance to live, of course, if he chose to live by himself, then Ning Yanran would definitely die, so to speak, the reason why Ning Yanran was alive was that Zhao Hua exchanged his life for it, so Ning Yanran felt guilty about Zhao Hua, which everyone can understand.

Before Bu Zimo committed suicide, he told Ning Yanran that Zhao Hua's last words before he died, Zhao Hua said before he died that he liked Ning Yanran, and Ning Yanran was very shocked after listening to it at that time.

In fact, not only Ning Yanran was shocked, but everyone who was familiar with Zhao Hua was like this, the members of the second criminal investigation team were all single, Li Lei liked forensic Ye Xuefei, this is something known to the police in the whole S City, and Ye Xuefei liked Xu Lang, which is also something that many people know, as for Zhang Lei, he is like a child who doesn't grow up, jumping up and down every day, hee-hee-haha, no one is in shape, for whether he has a girlfriend or not, in fact, no one will think about this problem, Lu Xing is still young, and, As for Zhao Hua, he is out of the field all year round, and he has little time to stay in the office area of the second criminal investigation team, and there are not many people who naturally care about him, it seems that everyone is used to Zhao Hua's silent dedication, and no one has ever thought about it, it turns out that Zhao Hua also has someone he likes, he never told anyone before his death, and after his death, he only told his murderer Bu Zimo alone.

That day, it rained a lot, and Ning Yanran stayed in front of Zhao Hua's grave for a long time, and no one knew what she said in front of Zhao Hua's tombstone alone.

Xu Lang did not show up at the farewell scene at that time, he went in the evening, when it was almost dark.

In the evening, the rainstorm has stopped, the sky is drizzling, Xu Lang rarely wore a black suit, took advantage of a black umbrella, came to Zhao Hua's grave alone, Xu Lang put a bunch of white chrysanthemums, he stood in place, stared at Zhao Hua's photo, looked at it for a long time, did not say a word, and finally, Xu Lang left alone under the cover of the night, accompanied by the cold wind, as if he came alone.

Xu Lang didn't like to see this kind of ceremony very much, and even rejected it very much, because for Xu Lang, every time he participated in this kind of ceremony, it meant a person's sacrifice.

When a person dies, no matter how high the evaluation and honor are given to him, in fact, it is just a kind of respect and self-comfort for the dead by the living, and living is what everyone wants to see.

Xu Lang walked alone in the slightly deserted street, because of the rain, the bustling streets on weekdays seemed a little deserted, Xu Lang held an umbrella, walked alone in the crowd, did not notice his existence, Xu Lang looked at the men and women walking beside him, their expressions were different, there were friends talking about the happy place, laughing loudly, there were couples who snuggled together tightly and held an umbrella together, their expressions were happy, and there were also those who were unhappy because of work, family disharmony, And with a sad face, everyone is worried about their own affairs, they naturally won't notice that a month ago, there was an excellent public security criminal police who died on the front line, for them, how to make money quickly is the right thing.

Even if they knew that someone had sacrificed, at most they would just sigh later, and after sighing, they would still do what they should do and what they would continue to do, and they wouldn't think about anything, this is human nature, the only thing who cares about Zhao Hua's sacrifice is his family, his colleagues and leaders.

Xu Lang walked on the street, feeling very confused.

When he was a child, Xu Lang wanted to be a policeman because his father was a policeman, and later, when he grew up, he wanted to be a policeman because he wanted to find out the truth about the murder of his family.

For the sake of justice? Or is it for fairness? Or is it for the sake of justice? Xu Lang himself doesn't know that justice, fairness, and justice may be part of the reasons for supporting Xu Lang to get to the present, but what really supports Xu Lang to the present is because he can't let go of the truth about his family's murder, people are selfish and have their own selfish desires, and Xu Lang is the same.

Back then, when he resolutely went undercover, Xu Lang was ready to sacrifice, before he became an undercover agent, he only asked the instructor for one thing, that is, if his undercover identity was exposed and sacrificed, he asked the organization to continue to investigate the truth about his family's murder, and later, he successfully completed the undercover mission and swept away many underworld forces in S City, and Xu Lang survived.

Back then, when Xu Lang entered the second criminal investigation team as the captain of course, Xu Lang didn't think much, whenever he encountered a case, what Xu Lang wanted was to solve the case as soon as possible, catch the murderer, and don't let them continue to commit crimes, this is the greatest respect for the deceased, in fact, Xu Lang also has a small selfishness, that is, every time he arrests a criminal, he can find the murderer of his family one step closer.

Last year, Xu Lang resigned from the Second Criminal Investigation Team, on the one hand, because of Shu Yue's persuasion, and on the other hand, because the public security system wanted to give an answer to public opinion, and the more important reason was because Xu Lang felt hopeless.

After Xu Lang resigned, he partnered with Du Ziqiao to open the Lang Ge Detective Agency, in fact, Xu Lang did not have the intention of being a detective, he founded this company just to investigate the truth about the murder of his family, and the firm was just a tool for him.

After experiencing the 7.12 case, Xu Lang came back this time, and his psychology has changed a lot, over the years, Xu Lang has lived a very depressed life, very painful, he has not been happy for a day, the death of his parents, the tragic death of his sister, and he has been tormenting Xu Lang every late night.

When Xu Lang graduated, the instructor commented to him that he was a natural policeman, and at the same time, he was also a natural criminal, so when Lu Ye transferred Xu Lang to the second criminal investigation team as the captain, there were internal disagreements, but in the past few years when Xu Lang was the captain of the second criminal investigation team, although Xu Lang's methods of handling cases were sometimes biased, but the overall appearance was still not out of line, so the original opposition gradually disappeared.

Unconsciously, Xu Lang came to the overpass, he stood in the middle of the bridge, looking down at the traffic under his feet, Xu Lang suddenly found that he had lived for more than 20 years, the most reassuring day, and the days when he was not haunted by nightmares were actually the days when he was imprisoned after the 7.12 case.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xu Lang's mouth hooked up a wry smile.

Xu Lang came back this time and found that the people around him, except for the second criminal investigation team and Lu Ye, all the people he knew and familiar with had disappeared one by one, Brother Lang's office had been closed since Xu Lang disappeared, Du Ziqiao, Ziche Hexuan and Liao Yi and others didn't know where they went, Xu Lang had tried to contact them, but none of them had been contacted, as for the people Xu Lang cared about the most, Shu Yue and Xu Lang also lost contact.

Of course, in addition to the people from the detective agency and Shu Yue, in fact, there are many people who are missing, but Xu Lang himself doesn't know about it for the time being.

Loneliness is Xu Lang's biggest feeling now.

Thinking of Zhao Hua's sacrifice, thinking of Shu Yue's goodbye, Xu Lang felt a little dazed, since the death of his sister Xu Chan, Shu Yue has become the person Xu Lang cares about the most, she has become Xu Lang's spiritual pillar, in fact, over the years, if Shu Yue had not always been by Xu Lang's side, maybe Xu Lang would have become another Bu Zimo in order to find the truth, or the Xu Qi who made Xu Lang feel uncomfortable when he thought about it.

At the beginning of people, nature is good, at the beginning of people, nature is evil, good and evil, in fact, there is not such an obvious divide-line, good and evil Sometimes, just in a thought, the evil in Xu Lang's heart has always been Shu Yue helping to suppress it.
