Chapter 2 Supper
During the meal, the two had nothing to say, and after being busy with the interrogators in the detention center for most of the day, they encountered a case of buying and selling drugs on the side of the road.
While eating, Zhao Yixin asked some cases solving process that he didn't understand yet, and he was very motivated to learn, Ran Xiaoke liked Zhao Yixin very much, but many times, in the face of Zhao Yixin's questions, Ran Xiaoke may not give a positive answer, he knows that the best teacher is practice, it is the investigation process of crawling and climbing, and only by learning in actual combat can he learn the most real ability in the shortest time.
After eating, the two sat at the small table, looked at the night view of the city's alleys, and took a short rest. alley
There is no prosperity of the main streets, but there is a rare tranquility in the city.
It's not so much tranquility as it is a corner that has been overlooked by the city.
A criminal policeman like Ran Xiaoke spends every day in a fast-paced rush, encountering unexpected situations, tension and excitement at any time to make adrenaline soar, which is the feeling he likes, and it is also one of the reasons why he wanted to be a police officer at that time. But the tranquility of the dead of night is also what he likes, at this time, he is willing to sit for a while in a place that is ignored by the city, because his usual work is closely linked to the love and hatred of the city, and a pure land can also be a happy land.
The noodle shop in the alley, there is no environment, there is no bright lights and swaying dancing, only the fireworks and transcendent tranquility of the market. Here, he can think about life in the midst of his hustle and bustle, and get a temporary detachment of body and mind, as well as his own feelings.
Ran Xiaoke is 27 years old, and his parents often urge him to get married, but he is really too busy, and he has made several appointments with girls introduced by his parents or friends who are leaders of the unit, but because of the sudden case, he has to miss the appointment or have to leave. Even though he has a one-meter-eighty-one figure, handsome appearance and heroic temperament, few girls can really marry such a man who can't control his own time.
After a few times, Ran Xiaoke is also used to the days without a girlfriend.
It's just that in the calm after being busy, I occasionally think of my girlfriend Zhang Meng from college.
Zhang Meng is a student of the law school next door when Ran Xiaoke was in college, Ran Xiaoke often went to the law school next door to take classes when he was in college, at first because he was really interested in criminological knowledge, and then met Zhang Meng by chance, Ran Xiaoke would ask Zhang Meng to help occupy a seat, out of gratitude, he would also bring Zhang Meng some snacks, or please eat a hot pot or something, after a long time, the two fell in love.
However, after graduating from university, Zhang Meng wanted to stay in Shandu as a lawyer, so that she could marry Ran Xiaoke and have children and continue her happiness, but Zhang Meng was the pearl of her parents, so she had to return to her hometown city to take the civil service exam, and she had communicated well in all aspects, so she would wait for her to come back and go through the procedure. Zhang Meng has been obedient since he was a child, and he has struggled and made trouble, but he also feels sorry for his parents and can't bear to make them sad, so he has to cut off his love affair with Ran Xiaoke and return to his hometown.
Zhang Meng is a good girl, Ran Xiaoke has always thought so.
When Zhang Meng proposed to break up, Ran Xiaoke was very sad, and the taste of angina was felt for the first time, but he understood Zhang Meng's choice. Although Zhang Meng's home is only a four-hour train away from the mountain city, if she works in a different place, it is very likely that she or he will meet another person and start a family.
Both of them are very painful, but they are not frivolous when they are young, and both are characters who listen to their parents.
In his leisure time or in the dead of night, the scene that appears most in Ran Xiaoke's mind is the scene of bidding farewell to Zhang Meng.
In the graduation season, the classmates in Zhang Meng's dormitory left the mountain city one after another to go their own way, Zhang Meng was the last, and she was reluctant. She didn't know when she would see Ran Xiaoke again, and she didn't know if this goodbye meant a complete goodbye.
Zhang Meng didn't buy a train ticket for a long time, and his parents were urging him to make several phone calls every day, and Ran Xiaoke took it upon himself to buy a return train ticket for Zhang Meng.
At the ticket gate of the railway station, the ticket inspector did not let Ran Xiaoke, who did not buy a ticket, enter the waiting hall, Ran Xiaoke said that he was good at talking, and pleaded that he would help his girlfriend put his luggage on the car and come out.
Ran Xiaoke wanted to send Zhang Meng into the carriage, help her put her luggage away, and stay together for a while longer, but the ticket inspector didn't let Ran Xiaoke in, and the ticket gate was closed in a few minutes, and Zhang Meng had to enter after a few minutes, and at the anxious moment when Ran Xiaoke and Zhang Meng were anxious, a young thin woman wearing the clothes of the ticket inspector appeared in front of Ran Xiaoke.
But if you look closely, you can see that this woman's clothes do not have the epaulettes and armbands on the ticket inspector's clothes, but at first glance it looks like a ticket inspector.
"Do you want to enter the station?" , The woman came over and asked Ran Xiaoke.
"Hmm," Ran Xiaoke replied, ignoring the strange woman.
"I have a way to take you in, as long as a five yuan fee," the woman whispered.
"Really? Then take me in immediately", Ran Xiaoke heard that he could let him into the station, and immediately became excited, and asked the strange woman to take him in quickly.
The strange woman asked Ran Xiaoke to follow her and took Ran Xiaoke to the old, weak, sick and disabled passage on the far right.
There are relatively few people in the old, weak, sick and disabled passage, and the strange woman walked in front of the ticket inspector in this passage, exchanged a look with the ticket inspector, and went straight inside, and the ticket inspector did not stop her. The strange woman turned around, shook her head at Ran Xiaoke behind her, and motioned for him to go in, Ran Xiaoke looked at the ticket inspector, and saw that the ticket inspector did not mean to stop him from checking the ticket, so he lowered his head and walked straight inside with the strange woman, and sure enough, the ticket inspector did not stop him.
Ran Xiaoke entered the waiting hall and waved his hand to Zhang Meng, who had entered the side passage normally, Zhang Meng hurriedly took out the suitcase from the security inspection machine and walked towards Ran Xiaoke.
Ran Xiaoke took out five yuan and handed it to the strange woman, keeping his word. The strange woman left, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Ran Xiaoke sent the luggage into the carriage for Zhang Meng, put the luggage on the luggage rack on her seat, and Zhang Meng, who was standing next to her, kept rolling tears in her eyes.
Ran Xiaoke looked at his watch, and the train was about to leave in two minutes.
He pulled Zhang Meng into his arms and hugged him widely.
Time stopped......
I don't know how long it took, Ran Xiaoke estimated that the time was about the same, he had to get out of the car, kissed goodbye to Zhang Meng, and the two looked at each other speechlessly. Ran Xiaoke turned around and got out of the car, and walked quickly to the window of Zhang Meng's seat. He had to wait for Zhang Meng to leave before leaving.
The two, through the window glass, naturally looked at each other and cried, the air was unusually quiet, and time seemed to stand still. The two stretched out their right index fingers and touched through the glass, through which they could not hear each other's voices, but they seemed to be able to feel each other's breathing.
A minute or so is a very long time and a very short time.
The train was finally moving.
Ran Xiaoke kept waving to Zhang Meng, and Zhang Meng kept waving to Ran Xiaoke outside the car window......
The train slowly accelerated. Ran Xiaoke followed the forward window and walked forward, he was reluctant.
Ran Xiaoke walked from trotting to trotting, from trotting to speeding up, and kept waving to Zhang Meng, who was already crying in the car window......
Until Zhang Meng's window position exceeded the end of the platform, Ran Xiaoke had to slow down, stopped on the platform and gasped, looking at the speed of the train in the distance getting faster and faster, and becoming more and more invisible......
On the way back to school, Ran Xiaoke looked completely depressed, like a frosted eggplant, like a balloon that has been released, or like a kite with a broken string, as if he has no spirit and life goal.
It took a long time, but how long it was, even Ran Xiaoke himself couldn't tell clearly, and he slowly came back from a world without Zhang Meng.
In this way, Ran Xiaoke stayed in Shandu with his dream of being a policeman. Lonely and alone, he is devoted to his career, but he has no distractions, and he wants to fill the gap in his heart with busyness.
