Chapter 27: The Meaning of Life

Looking at Ni Xiaomei's figure of slowly leaving with her head down while wiping her tears, Yang Zi suddenly felt an inexplicable irritability, and he stretched out his hand to Haizi, who was sitting on the side and had not spoken: "Is there any smoke?" ”

Haizi was stunned for a moment, took out a cigarette and handed it over, saw Yang Zi unfamiliarly take out one and put it in his mouth, quickly took out a lighter to help him light the cigarette, hesitated for a while, or asked in a low voice: "Just, just let her go like this?" ”

Yang Zi took a hard puff of his cigarette, "Ahem...... Ahem......" was choked and coughed. He gasped for a while, and then said helplessly: "What can you do if you don't let her go?" She had ample alibi. I suspect it's her, but what about the evidence? Looking at her performance today, I feel that my suspicions are wrong. He took another puff of his cigarette, this time much better, he didn't choke, but he looked like a non-smoker.

"And what about this case? Hanging? Haizi also lit a cigarette and accompanied Yang Zi to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog.

"Alas......" Yang Zi let out a long sigh and shook his head. I can only hang it first. During this time, Fatty was sent to stare at her first to see if there was anything abnormal. Alas......" He sighed again and whispered, "Actually, I don't want her either." ”

Although this sentence was said very quietly, it was still clearly heard by Haizi, he didn't make a sound, just reached out and patted the captain's shoulder comfortingly.

At the beginning of the day, in a quiet café by the river, two people sat opposite each other on the sofa by the window. In the café, the classical song "Liang Zhu" played by violin and piano concerto is playing, and the soft music flows slowly, cleansing the hearts of the listeners and soothing their emotions. From here, through the glass, you can clearly see the people coming and going on the riverside ferry terminal, a prosperous scene of freedom and peace.

Lin Shanshan looked at Yang Zi, who had not spoken for more than an hour and was looking out the window in a daze, and smiled softly: "Don't think about it anymore, maybe it really wasn't her who did it?" You know, your suspicions are only based on the fact that she is the most motivated to kill other than the person concerned. But what about the evidence? None of this is tenable on the basis of your experience and suspicion until legal evidence is obtained. ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect that. I just feel like a life is gone, and I can't do anything about it......" Yang Zi's brows furrowed again.

Lin Shanshan knew the man in front of him, his sigh was not only because the case happened but could not be solved, nor because a life was brutally killed but the real murderer could not be found. His pain comes more from regret for life, thinking about human nature, and helplessness with reality. She looked at Yang Zi's eyes full of appreciation and pity, she could understand the pain in his heart, but she couldn't share it for him, she could only help him out as much as possible. At this time, the music in the café was replaced by Beethoven's famous piano solo "The Maiden's Prayer", listening to the melodious sound of the piano, Lin Shanshan suddenly felt that if there was really an omnipotent god, it would be good if he could at least let himself pray to him and give Yang Zi a broader mind, so that he could bear it in his future career, no matter how big the difficulties he encountered, no matter how heavy he was. It's a pity that she is an atheist, so she can only look at Yang Zi comfortingly and listen to him patiently.

"Since I became a criminal policeman, I have seen one murder after another. You don't know, I ...... in my heart" Yang Zi said with some pain, he looked out of the window sadly, his eyes stayed on a white magnolia flower swaying in the breeze on the branch by the window, and quietly admired it for a while, his eyes gradually became gentle. Suddenly, Yang Zi turned his head to look at Lin Shanshan and asked her, "You say, what is the meaning of life?" ”

Lin Shanshan tilted her head and thought for a while: "I remember that there is a sentence in the book "How Steel is Made": 'Life is precious, it is only once for everyone. A man's life should be spent in such a way that when he looks back, he does not regret that he wasted his time, nor is he ashamed of his inaction. I think that everyone has a different understanding of life and a different understanding of it, but it is important that we respect life and love life. Perhaps, in the long course of time, we are just a drop in the ocean, born when we cannot choose, and die when we cannot predict. But no matter how long or short the period of life is, as long as we work hard and walk through it seriously, at the last moment of life, we can smile and say that I have not wasted time in this life, nor has I wasted my time; Everything I do is worthy of my conscience, and that's good. ”

Yang Zi didn't speak, he fell into deep thought. Life may only be the passage from birth to death, and people are born to move towards death, leaving their footprints in a long or short period of time. Each person has his own life, the precious one and only life. But why is it that there are some people who can't be calmer and more restrained when they are swayed by the emotions that everyone has, such as hatred, impulsiveness, recklessness, cowardice, greed, and despair? Why do they treat life like a sloppy one, forgetting how fragile and in need of care it is, and easily breaking through the defenses of reason in impulse, and depriving others of their lives at will? Is this a moral deviation or a lack of faith? For the first time, he felt how powerless he was, as a criminal policeman, he only had one pair of hands, and he could only do his best to maintain the peace and tranquility of this world. The abnormal disappearance of any life is intolerable, and it is his morality that he cannot slack off in the slightest in performing his duties to defend life; It is his sacred mission to punish all the evil acts that harm life and to arouse people's love and respect for their own lives and the lives of others.

"Okay, Yang Zi, let's go watch a movie, I haven't seen it for a long time. I heard that there are a few good movies recently, so please accompany me to see them. The empathetic Lin Shanshan saw that Yang Zi had been thinking about these heavy questions without speaking, and wanted to make him more relaxed, so she made suggestions. Yang Zi knew her intentions, smiled at her gratefully, and nodded yes. They packed up their things and walked out of the café door, and the warm river breeze blew in their faces, bringing a breath of fresh air that was refreshing. Lin Shanshan naturally grabbed Yang Zi's arm and walked forward with him.

"The love for you has been very quiet, in exchange for the care you give occasionally, it's obviously a movie of three people, but I can't have a name." Suddenly, Yang Zi's mobile phone rang loudly, and he took it out and saw that it was a call from the bureau, so he immediately pressed the call button. "I'm Yang Zi, what? Found a girl's body? Reeds Banana Plantation? Okay, I'll be right there. ”
