"My hometown, did I tell you?"

"Well, Wancheng, you said the stinky tofu there is delicious."

Li August smiled bitterly, "The year you graduated from the police academy, you went undercover, I went back to my hometown, and I almost stayed in Wancheng to work." ”

"Also at the police station?"

"Yes, but it's different from Mocheng, there are not so many cases in small places, and there may not be one vicious case in three or five years, most of them are trivial things, the owner loses a cat and the west runs a dog, and the motorcycle robbery is already a big and serious case.

However, a place like Wancheng, which is well-guarded and lax, is suitable for fugitives to hide. ”

"Chase mission?" Wu Duan asked, apparently already interested.

Li August said: "Don't get any hope for me, I messed up the task." ”

Wu Duan pondered for a few seconds and said, "Even if you made any mistakes during your internship, isn't it enough to make up for the cases you have solved over the years?" I promise, no matter what you do, I won't be disappointed in you. ”

"What if it's killing — I mean, causing death."

"Have you remembered that incident all these years?"

"I often think about it, and I suffer a lot."

"This is punishment, and compared to it, the harsh criticism of the outside world is probably not worth mentioning, right? So I don't need to despise you. ”

"When you say that, I feel a lot more at ease."

Wu Duan made a "please continue" gesture.

"It's a chase indeed.

It was a male fugitive, 45 years old, who had a quarrel with the villagers in his hometown when he was young, sneaked into someone's house at night with a sickle, hacked a family of four, and then escaped, and escaped for more than 20 years.

After escaping to Wancheng and settling down, he first worked on the construction site, had a criminal record, was afraid of being discovered, did not dare to contradict people, was a man with his tail between his legs, saw people let three points, and did not dare to be lazy and slippery in his work, but won himself the reputation of "honest duty" and "honesty and trustworthiness".

Later, I dumped some materials used on the construction site, became a small boss myself, and also made some money.

married a wife in Wancheng and gave birth to children.

At that time, just in time for the nationwide census, the police of the household registration department found that the man had no parents or relatives in the local area, and he had lived with his wife for more than ten years without a marriage certificate - the police with experience in chasing fugitives knew that this kind of person should be extra careful.

The household registration police did find that he was more consistent with a chase information on the Internet.

We immediately contacted the police station where we were chasing, and on the same day, the people over there set off to confirm the situation with us - after all, it was a case of four lives!

After observation and identification, the suspect is likely to be the fugitive back then, and everyone has formulated an arrest plan.

It was dog days, it was very hot, and the suspect's house lived in a bungalow, and there was a small courtyard, the gate of which was not closed during the day, and when he was free - usually after eating in the evening - the suspect sat under the shade of the tree in the courtyard to enjoy the shade.

We decided to take advantage of this time to rush directly into the yard and start the arrest.

However, the investigation was negligent, and no one found that the suspect hid a machete under the recliner - later according to the suspect's confession, he has been unsteady in his heart for more than 20 years, not only under the recliner, but also under the pillow in the house, and he usually carries a switchblade.

Four lives, if you catch it, it will be a death, and he has already made up his mind that it is better to fight than to be caught.

So, when we rushed in, he reacted very quickly, like ...... It's like he's trained – he's rehearsed the police arrest him hundreds of times in his mind......"

"Wait," Wu Duan said: "I remember, you were injured when you came back from Mocheng, I asked you how you were injured, you said that you met someone who was fighting in a group, go up and stop ......"

"I lied to you, it was the injury I was injured in that capture mission."

Wu Duan nodded, and Li August continued: "I just rushed to the gate of the courtyard, and before I could go in, I saw that the suspect had jumped up from the recliner and pulled out the machete.

I was the third one to rush in, the first two, one was my master, a particularly calm old criminal policeman, and the other was a leading criminal policeman who rushed over from the chase place, and he was very strong.

The two of them are very experienced and react quickly, seeing this situation, they quickly stopped and pulled out their guns, and the two of them dodged left and right, just exposing me behind me.

And I'm ...... I was a step slower...... By the time I reacted, I had been kidnapped by a suspect. ”

"You? Hijacked? Wu Duan took a deep breath, "You haven't told me these things. ”

"I ...... Shame on you! I was so scared — not an exaggeration at all, that I almost peed my pants.

The suspect put one arm around my neck, leaving only room to breathe, and the machete rested on my shoulder, less than 1 centimeter from the artery in my neck. In front of him were the muzzles of two police black holes.

I was ...... It's really very cowardly, I directly begged my master to let him save me, and I also begged the suspect, don't hurt me.

I should have said things like, 'Let you go,' 'Keep you safe,' 'They're not going to track you down,'......"

Wu Duan opened his mouth.

Li August waved his hand and motioned for him not to interject.

Once interrupted, Li was not sure if he still had the courage to tell the truth.

"At that time, my master saw that I was too scared, afraid that something would happen, so he negotiated with the suspect, they collected their guns, gave way to the door, and even prepared a car for the suspect according to the request.

There was only one condition, and my master asked for me to be replaced - he went to be a hostage and replaced me.

I'm really not a thing, all I wanted was to change it quickly, I couldn't stand it for a second, and I wanted to run home and cry.

Now that I think about it, my master is in his fifties, and I don't know how many bad guys he has caught in his life, and he should have retired after working for a few years, but ...... Just because of me, I'm cowardly, he ...... He ...... Sacrifice......

He died for me! Am I the worst person, you say? ”

Wu Duan asked, "Why did you sacrifice?" ”

He only hoped that this story would end soon, so that Li August would suffer less torture.

"My master wanted to subdue him while he was replaced, but ...... After all, I'm older, and I'm not so fast.

And I'm ...... I was so scared that I couldn't stand still, let alone cooperate with the master......

In the end, the suspect was caught, and the master was also injured and stabbed twice in the abdomen.

When I was sent to the hospital, the master told me that it was okay and that I had been seriously injured before.

I thought it would be fine, but who would have thought ...... He was in the emergency room and didn't make it...... Possible...... Maybe it's because we have poor medical care in that small place.

I really...... I...... I don't know what to do.

His wife is half paralyzed, for many years, he is the pillar of the family, with that dead salary, taking care of his wife, pulling the children, it is not easy - his son is the same age as me, just graduated from college - finally survived, and finally can enjoy the blessings of the younger generations, but I am ......"

Knowing the general situation, Wu Duan said: "You don't have this matter in your resume, and the family spends money?"

Li August nodded, "I lost money, and I used my relationship to erase my internship record, I went back to Mocheng, pretended that nothing happened, and looked for a job with you." ”

Li August's shoulders trembled violently, he raised his hand to cover his face, as if he couldn't face it, tears flowed out of his fingers.

Wu Duan handed him a tissue, "Do you want to hear my opinion?" ”。
