Chapter 15: Faith

All night, Shi An tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. It wasn't until dawn that I yawned and slowly fell asleep holding the quilt with the smell of disinfectant water.

In her dream, she saw Fang Lubai.

At that time, she was a newcomer who had only been in the criminal police brigade for a short time. In the words of the team, it is a veritable fresh blood, but Fang Lubai is a veritable 'old man' in the team.

Unexpectedly, she formed a team with a mature and steady captain Fang.

It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and this sentence is well reflected in her.

The first time she followed Fang Lubai out of the case, she devoted 120,000 points of enthusiasm to the investigation.

But in this world, nothing will go the way you think it will go, and some results are often unexpected. When those magnificent leather elephants are rudely torn apart, the darkness and turbidity that exude inside will make you feel suffocated, even hopeless.

At that time, because of the wrong direction of the investigation, a little girl had an accident.

Although she was rescued, she suffered extensive burns all over her body, and no one can guarantee that she will be better in the future, because everyone is preparing for the worst.

That day, Shi An sat on a chair in the park and said nothing.

There she was, watching the sunset alternate with the stars, feeling the dampness in the air, her mind full of the little girl in the fire, and her eyes slightly curled at her when she woke up.

"Team, it's all my ......"

Her voice was hoarse, and she listened to her voice, but thought of the child lying on the hospital bed.

"What if...... If I weren't so self-righteous......" Shi An's voice trembled when he said this.

She buried her face in her hands, blackened by the smoke, and wept silently.

At that time, Fang Lubai did not speak. He just sat beside her, and those warm and powerful hands patted her back and again, and her nervous consciousness that was on the verge of collapse slowly returned.

Then, she heard Fang Lubai say gently: "We are criminal police, and we must do our best to protect the people, but we are not gods. We go back to the roots, we seek the truth of the case, not only to protect the living, but also to give an account to those who have died. ”

"Those people who tried to threaten the living and buried the ugly and filthy roots in the ground, they thought we would compromise, they would be afraid, but they didn't know that this was our mission. Because once the roots rot, more people will fall. ”

"Therefore, even if we are burdened with everyone's incomprehension, even if we are spurned by thousands of people and abused by thousands of people, we still have to shoulder our responsibilities and move forward."

When Fang Lubai said these words, the shadow of the tree blurred his face, making Shi An a little unable to see his expression.

But those words, until now, are the beliefs she sustained when she was weak and wavering.

We forge ahead in the dark, not for tempering, not for anyone, but in the hope that this originally dim world can reveal a glimmer of light, so that the people who love it will be steadfast.

For this, we are able to abandon what we have left behind, because we all have our own persistence.

It was also that night that Shi An understood a lot.

The world has been revolving on its own track, and life has brought us more than we can imagine.

If before that, Shi An was a little girl with no blood, after that night, she became a real criminal policeman.

Because she understands what she will face in the future, but she is fearless and intends to move forward.

It's just that personality is the most unpredictable.

That incident was like a growth switch, Shi An was indeed no longer naΓ―ve, her case-handling methods were also much more mature, and those enthusiasm and firmness seemed to be integrated into her blood and bones.

In her father's words, Shi An will always have a momentum of his own, no matter who he is, as long as he has been with her for a while, he will be infected by this almost sincere attitude.

When he opened his eyes again, Shi An woke up from that dream from a long time ago.

Bright sunlight poured through the windows throughout the ward, adding a layer of warmth to the already cold room.

I don't remember the things in the dream very clearly, but Shi An still remembers her father's evaluation of her.

Those words sounded familiar to her.

Before he could think about it, the door to the ward was pushed open.

Shi An raised his head, and then lowered his head again, not knowing what he was losing in his heart.

When Yan Wei came in, he saw Shi An's appearance.

"Why, does our police lady think I'm so unhappy? Anyway, I took you to the hospital. said something teasingly, Yan Wei didn't wait for Shi An to refute, and said, "The captain is probably not here today." Originally, he was with me just now, but he answered the phone halfway and left, let me take care of you, and handed this over to me by the way. ”

As he spoke, he flipped the bag in his hand.

The bag was ordinary, not like a general store take-out food bag, but more like a ......

Shi An stared at the bag for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that it was more like a bag for buying vegetables at home. Anyway, her mother used this kind of big flower cloth bag every time she bought vegetables, and she went to the vegetable market to buy a bag.

"What is this?" Although he knew the type of bag, Shi An still couldn't guess what was in the bag, so he asked out loud.

It's not a dish, is it?

Seeing this, Yan Wei opened the bag and took out the glass bowls containing the food one by one.

The crystal clear glass bowl contained all kinds of good-looking food, and the steaming heat melted into the air along with the aroma of the food, which also made the two people present move their index fingers.

"Captain, this breakfast is too good." Smashing his mouth, Yan Wei sighed with emotion, "Shi An, your life is really good." I used to have breakfast, and now I'm hungry. ”

With a wicked laugh, he stretched out his claws to a box of steamed dumplings.

Who knew that Shi An slapped his paws away and stared at Yan Wei with a protective face: "Eh, grab breakfast with the injured, Yan Wei, do you still have a little humanity?" ”

He didn't look at Yan Wei as he spoke, picked up a steamed dumpling with chopsticks and sent it to his mouth, squinting his eyes in enjoyment.

Yan Wei looked at Shi An, who looked satisfied, and then looked at the time when he was slapped away, and shook his head with a smile: "OKOK, I won't tease you anymore, you can just put the bowl on the table after eating, and the team said that he would come over to get it later." With that, he put down the bag and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going?" While eating dumplings, Shi An asked.

"Of course, I'm going to the team to see what the case is." Yan Wei said as he unscrewed the door, "Don't worry about this, take care of your illness." ”

"Then you must notify me of something!" Seeing that Yan Wei was about to leave the ward with his feet raised, Shi An hurriedly called.

"Got it, got it." Yan Wei said and left the room quickly.
