Tang Tao opened the player and clicked on his favorite music, pressed the play button, and leaned back in his seat and exhaled a long breath.

IBelieve is a gentle and elegant saxophone, Tang Tao has heard it countless times, and whenever he is in a bad mood, he will listen to this pure music, although there are no lyrics, he can express his heart directly, and no matter how impetuous his heart is, he can calm down in the slow music.

Scenes of the past came to mind again, the traffic outside the window was busy, and Tang Tao's heart in the car was like an ancient well.

Once upon a time, Tang Tao also made a solemn promise under the national flag.

I swear that I will volunteer to become the People's Police of the People's Republic of China, dedicate myself to the noble cause of people's public security, resolutely be loyal to the party, serve the people, enforce the law fairly, and be strictly disciplined, unswervingly be the builder and defender of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and work hard to maintain the overall stability of society, promote social fairness and justice, and ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment!

Although he left the police post, Tang Tao has always remembered his mission and has not forgotten the original intention of the year, that is, to catch all criminals and send them to prison to be punished by law.

Tang Tao drove to Zhu Lingling's house, and Tang Tao heard the low mourning sound of mourning, the scrap collection station set up a colored tape, and a dozen simple stoves were set up at the door, and a few large iron pots were placed on the simple stoves, and more than a dozen round tables were arranged under the colored tape, and the guests sat around to eat and chat, and a funeral was underway.

The funeral in Qingzhou is very lively, the neighbors will gather together to see off the deceased, death is a very serious matter, but Qingzhou people are cheerful and open-minded, they prefer to see death as the beginning of life, the deceased is dead, then he will be reincarnated and reincarnated as a new person, so there is no need to cry sadly, but to smile goodbye, so that the deceased can go at ease, and the living can get out of grief as soon as possible.

Even so, there was a hint of sigh and emotion on the faces of every two people present.

The Zhu family lost two relatives in one day, and the deaths were more tragic than the other.

Zhu Lingling jumped off the building and broke her bones, and the old lady's death was even more miserable.

The posthumous photos of Zhu Lingling and her grandmother are on the incense case.

Zhu Lingling in the photo is wearing a school uniform, smiling like a flower, her eyes are so clear and smart.

The old lady had a kind look and a lovely smile.

And the night before yesterday, they were two fresh lives.

Zhu Jianguo knelt in front of his mother's spirit wearing a black veil and kept adding dark paper to the brazier, the flames reflected his face, this simple and unpretentious man had no tears at this time, no sadness, only a tired face.

He was eager to find the murderer, but life had to go on, he still had a child and a family to support, and he couldn't afford to put it off, so he held a funeral in advance before he could solve the case, and his daughter's body was still parked in the morgue of the funeral home.

Tang Tao's appearance did not cause any commotion, and no one asked who he was, looking at Zhu Lingling's photo Tang Tao was silent for a long time, his heart was like pressing a big stone.

The case was solved, but Zhu Lingling was still dead.

This is a dereliction of duty, and if he had moved faster, perhaps none of this would have happened.

No words of comfort or explanation can save Zhu Lingling's life, let alone calm the grief of the Zhu family.

"Didi!"

With the sound of the horn, Lao Luo rode a battery car to the scene.

Lao Luo's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, and some people involuntarily leaned up and asked Lao Luo how things were going and whether he had caught the murderer.

"Lao Luo, has the murderer been caught? They say that the murderer is Zhou Youbo's nephew Duan Hui, right? ”

One woman had just asked a question, and the other immediately picked up.

"It's Duan Hui, otherwise it's been a few days, why don't the police dare to announce it? I heard that Duan Hui was released, and the police didn't dare to arrest him at all, they didn't want to arrest him. ”

"yes, they're in this group!"

These people just casually instigated a few words, and the atmosphere of the scene immediately became intense, the voice of questioning became louder and louder, and more and more people surrounded Lao Luo.

Lao Luo waved his hand and explained loudly to everyone: "Don't mess up, everyone, things are not what you think, don't listen to rumors, the case is now under investigation, and I will notify you as soon as there is a result." ”

"So what's going on? Has Duan Hui been released? Someone asked aloud.

As soon as this person began, the others immediately echoed and questioned Lao Luo one after another.

"Now the case is still under investigation, and I will tell you when there is a conclusion." Lao Luo knows very well what to say and what not to say, and the case has not been solved yet, so he must not easily reveal the facts of the case.

In fact, Duan Hui has indeed been released, he is a fool, he doesn't know what he did, and there is no point in arresting him.

But these people didn't listen at all, so they insisted on the fact that Duan Hui had already been released, why was he released because he was Duan Lei's son and Zhou Youbo's nephew, and the police were afraid of them and didn't dare to offend them.

"You still don't dare to arrest you for a long time, the police are a joke!"

"People like Lao Luo can be policemen, what do you expect from them?"

Ridicule, sarcasm, pushing, Lao Luo is like a leaf being pushed around, his explanation is drowned out by the anger and noise of the crowd, Lao Luo's weathered face is full of helplessness, he wants to explain, but he can't explain it clearly.

This old policeman, who usually can only look for kittens in the eyes of everyone, has become the target of public criticism at this time, and everyone vented all their hatred and anxiety on Lao Luo.

Tang Tao saw himself in Lao Luo, helpless and helpless, he wanted to explain but couldn't explain it clearly, the harder he tried, the more he smeared it.

The emotions of the masses are becoming more and more agitated, and if this continues, something will definitely happen.

Suddenly, Lao Luo squatted down holding his stomach, and then fell to the ground.

Tang Tao was shocked and hurriedly rushed up, Lao Luo clutched his abdomen tightly, his expression was abnormally painful, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead.

"Lao Luo, how are you? I'll take you to the hospital. Tang Tao helped Lao Luo up.

"It's okay, I'm really fine."

Lao Luo waved his hand and endured the pain and stepped onto the battery car, and was about to start and lay on the car again, Tang Tao saw this and helped Lao Luo to his car and quickly left the scene.

"Lao Luo, what kind of illness are you?" Tang Tao asked.

"It's okay, I ate too much at night and had diarrhea, you can find a place to put me down in a while, why are you here? They don't know you, and you don't have anyone around, so what if something happens? ”

Tang Tao shook his head and said, "I'll just take a look, why are you here knowing the situation here?" ”

Lao Luo thought for a while, and said lightly: "Because this is what I should do, this is my jurisdiction, Zhu Lingling was raised by me, and now that something happens to her, everyone wants to know the progress of the case, everyone is a neighbor, and I am obliged to inform them." ”

"But you're a policeman, and the case is unsolved, and there are some things you can't say."

"Then I have to come, I can't live up to their trust, the more they misinterpret us, the more I have to come, I have to make it clear to them, there is difficulty in finding the police, now they are in difficulty, how can we be policemen back down, okay, stop, I will walk back by myself."

Tang Tao hesitated and stopped the car on the side of the road, Lao Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked down, he waved at Tang Tao and walked away.

Lao Luo was old, his back was hunched, his hair was gray, and he was a little staggering when he walked.

But his heart is not old, he does not admit defeat, looking at his back Tang Tao has some inexplicable emotion, some people like to get ahead, some people like to be famous, but some people choose to be unknown, Lao Luo is this kind of person, compared with him, he is too far behind.
