The gears of fate have changed direction, but they never stop.

In order to hide myself completely, I changed my phone number, and only gave my contact information to a few people who must be contacted and not easy to disclose, Zhong Shi, Xu Yong, and Dong Jian, who specially told me not to disclose this contact information, and my family.

"Brother? You quit your job? At the end of the evening self-study, Liu Suxi looked surprised when she passed downstairs, "Is it to go back for more than ten days just to resign?" ”

"Well, after working away from home for more than a year, I still feel that I should return to work with us, and I can take care of Jingjing and you." Sitting on a bench facing the sea in the community, I hid my true intentions, "How's that?" It's almost time for the exam. ”

Liu Suxi exhaled meaningfully and sat on the left side of the bench, "It's okay, it's about to take the second mock test, and everyone is nervous." ”

"Auntie is still stable, right?"

"Hmm!" Liu Suxi's faint response, looking at the seaside not far ahead, the wind and waves seemed to be more surging than in winter.

My mother and Jingjing didn't have any doubts about my sudden resignation, but felt that it was more practical to return to their own town to find a stable job. My daughter naturally wants me to be by my side every day, and when I return to the harbor, I occasionally have the illusion that the past is unreal and unreal. It's just that her wrists are less restrained, but she still thinks about it, is she doing well?

Everything was calm again, as if there were no more waves, and after losing contact, it was as if I had been wiped off the list of murderers. No matter how vigilant I was to look around, there was no hint of surprise, and it was a kind of peace of mind to forget or be forgotten all the time. Except for the occasional green SUV of the armed police force parked across the road outside the community, there is nothing unusual.

At first, I also wondered why the cars of the armed police force were always parked near the community, but first, I had no permission to ask, and second, when I passed by, I observed that it was indeed armed police soldiers in the car, usually ranging from three to four people.

After two weeks of being out of contact with the outside world, everything is business as usual, and after spending a lot of time at home, people will start to lose their patience. My mother began to babble and urge me to go out and look for a job, "The time spent at home all day will be wasted, you need to find a good job by yourself, and the job is not so easy to come to you." ”

I was already accustomed to her nagging, I couldn't listen to it, but I didn't bother to refute, so I had to go out by myself, but I didn't expect that out of the door of the community, a speeding car happened to stop in front of me. I was upset but didn't bother to turn around and leave, when the speeding sedan rolled down the window, and a familiar and deep voice came.

"I was about to call you to see if you were not at home, but fortunately I got stuck in time, where are you going?" It was rare for Zhong Shi to wear casual clothes, sticking his head out of the car window.

"Officer Zhong?" I couldn't stop being surprised and shouted.

"Shh Zhong Shi made a gesture with his fingers to close his voice, "Call Brother Zhong outside, get in the car first." ”

"Where?" I'm more curious.

"Get in the car first!" Zhong Shi stretched out his hand from the window and tapped the car door, and looked around with his eyes unstoppable, always alerting to whether anyone around him was paying attention.

I approached the front of the car through the windshield and found that there was also a familiar but unexpected person sitting in the passenger seat, Officer Yang, who had met several times in the interrogation room of the police station in the border town, was also dressed in civilian clothes, and the two people who were not wearing police uniforms still looked like they were three points of power. Last year, Officer Yang was met with Officer Li, but I heard that Xu Yong mentioned on the phone that Officer Li had unfortunately died in an accident on the way to handle the case.

"Hello Officer Yang, why did you come to me with Officer Zhong and make a special trip to me?" Countless questions were in my mind, but I couldn't help but open my mouth first when I sat in the back row.

"Let's find a remote place to talk about first, you are familiar with this place, and you have the final say on where to go." Officer Yang did not answer the question, but set the tone for what he was going to say.

It seems to me that what we will talk about later should be a big event, and it should be a big thing that is closely related to the past.

With countless questions, I pointed to the teahouse opened by my high school classmates, and chartered the entire private room on the second floor, and specially advised, "No one is allowed to come up for a while, and there is no need to add water to pour tea, and we will come down by ourselves when the time comes." ”

When the old classmates and waiters went downstairs and left, we randomly chose a windowless private room on the inside and locked the door. The three men all lit their cigarettes, and the small closed room suddenly filled with smoke, and began this secret informal meeting with their mysterious thoughts and questions.

"Do you ask first, or do we talk first?" A cigarette bell stone was the first to finish, so he opened his mouth first.

Then I also snuffed out the cigarette butt, even though there were a thousand words, "No need to ask, you must have the answer when you come to me." ”

Officer Yang nodded slowly, "Don't be surprised when you are in trouble, you are not chaotic in distress, it is indeed not easy to live until we come to you." ”

I couldn't help but be surprised, "Why do you say you can live until now?" ”

"It takes time to investigate the case, just like seeing a doctor, if the patient can't survive the diagnosis report and treatment plan, then there is no disease to treat." Officer Yang is a little older, and he speaks slowly but with some truth.

"I've heard about Officer Li's matter, I've heard Company Commander Xu say it, alas, it's a little regretful!" I remembered sitting in the interrogation room with them and killing an undercover police officer for his own fault, and Officer Lee was very angry at the time, but he still restrained himself.

"His death was also because of this, and he died for it, not from an accident." Officer Yang's tone looked regretful and lost, and the partner who had worked together had sacrificed his life like that, which would be somewhat sad.

"Officer Lee's death was not an accident? But was he killed? "It turned out that he died in an accident under unknown circumstances, and dared to openly attack the police investigating the case, who is the murderer in the whole case?

"Well, but we must catch the murderer, smash the criminal gang, and we can't let Lao Li die in vain." Officer Yang said indignantly.

"Now what we are going to tell you is confidential, you used to be a soldier of the armed police, both a soldier and a member of the armed police force, and you have to keep the case strictly confidential." Zhong Shi's expression was very serious, and he could see that he had the truth to tell me, and recalled that he had reservations when he communicated the case with me at the SAR Bureau.

"I understand, I'm afraid not too many people will know about our meeting today, right?" I asked with a nod of agreement.

"There are no more than 20 people in the country who know the ins and outs of this matter, and most of them are higher in rank than me and Lao Yang, including Zhang Dashan, who you are familiar with, who is responsible for assisting in many investigations." Zhong Shi explained and sent out another round of smoke, "The preliminary investigation and intelligence collection of this matter was led by the comrades of the higher level of national security, and later the investigation work was handed over to our public security, and it was Lao Li who had already died and Lao Yang who were present to complete the investigation to the next level, but coincidentally, you just happened to arrive in my jurisdiction, and I also took over part of the case, and now I have a rough detailed information." The higher-ups also decided that this matter could not be dragged on, so it would be handed over to the armed police special forces to directly carry out surprise operations and arrest the main criminals. ”

"What do you mean?" Actually, I could already have a premonition of what he was going to say.

"You're the only person you've seen who claims to be Pei Di alive, and apart from that, Officer Li, who originally knew the information about this person, and the inside line he planted in his organization have all been killed. Including the old farmer who once you and Pei Di temporarily stayed, although the cause of death was accidentally falling into a well and dying, it was too coincidental that the accident happened at the same time when Officer Li went to investigate, which has to make people suspicious. In just a few words, Officer Yang had answered all the questions he had had ever asked.

That's why I've been in accidents, I'm the only one I've ever seen who claims to be alive and well, and as long as I die in an accident, all clues and investigations will be meaningless, "So who is this Pei Di?" So important? ”

"The branch leader of a mysterious criminal organization, codenamed Black Panther, has a ruthless heart." Officer Yang gritted his teeth with hatred, thinking that the culprit who had killed his old partner would definitely be severely punished.

"But how can I cooperate with you? Although I can identify who it is, but now this Pei Di, no! Where the hell is this man codenamed Black Panther? ”

"We are only the people who inform you of the case and coordinate the relationship between all parties in advance, and we do not have the right to know the action plan with higher authority, you only need to sign the tripartite agreement, and the commissioner of the special forces of the armed police will contact you for the follow-up action, and then the safety of you and your family will be fully entrusted to the armed police department, and you will no longer have to worry about whether there are hidden dangers in the surrounding environment every day in the future." Bell Stone pulled a stack of papers from his briefcase and shoved them to my desk.

A document contract that used to resemble a defensive shield security business, the difference is that this is a military cooperation agreement, and once signed I will re-accept the order as a military operations adviser, and the order will be mandatory. Just like when I was in the army, it will be my duty to carry out orders, and although I no longer have military status, I can still have honor.

I didn't have time to look at my blood as if it had been rekindled, and I had the responsibility and obligation to find out the truth, like a torch lit in a dark labyrinth, and finally able to find an exit. Although the future is uncertain, it is better than living in fear like this, but I just wanted to mention the pen but I had a trace of concern in my heart. Time has passed, I am no longer the ignorant and enthusiastic young man I used to enter the barracks, I have people and things that need my concern, when I face death again, can I still be so righteous?

But I need answers, about the past and about the future, and I also need to have an explanation for the people and things around me.

"Your mother and children will all be moved to the family home of the military region, the affiliated medical and school are in the hospital, and there are special guards to protect the city when you go out to the city at ordinary times, and the security measures are absolutely fine." Officer Yang seemed to see my concerns.

"It is my duty to fight for my country, I sacrificed my life, please take care of my family." I recalled the scenes when I was in the army, and suddenly a burst of blood of a former soldier ignited.

"That's also a martyr, and the families of the martyrs will be properly resettled. Of course, your safety will be the top priority and need to be guaranteed by the special operations department of the armed police, and besides, it is not easy to kill you because you have escaped so many bloody assassination operations. Zhong Shi's eyes were a little admired.

I didn't think about asking more, but resolutely signed it, and wrote without regrets, "Let's talk about the details of the case now, right?" And what exactly does this criminal organization do? ”

Zhong Shi put the stack of signed agreements into his briefcase, "Now we are comrades, working together to completely defeat their criminal conspiracy." ”
