"The second reason is the reason for the rumors. I still remember that night, I vaguely remember my dad looking at those lanterns and sighing, saying that such a lantern parade, I don't know how many times I can see it again. When I grew up, I learned some things that most people in Ningzhen knew in their hearts. It turned out that the lanterns for the Lantern Festival parade were made by the people in each village, each raising money and letting the lantern factory make one. Then the lanterns made by each village will be taken to the street for a lantern parade. It is rumored that the lamp factory can only take a small part of the money handed over by the people, while the rest of the money goes into the pockets of some officials. ”

……

At 6:50 p.m., Jiang Tian and Fang Jinyu walked side by side on the streets of Ningzhen.

There are already a lot of people on the street who are strolling around as if nothing happened. According to Fang Jinyu, on the second night of the second month of February in Ningzhen, there are many people who come out to watch it at night.

"Fang Jinyu, what you said in the afternoon......"

"True and false." Fang Jinyu smiled bitterly, "It's all passed on like this, and I also repeat other people's words." ”

Jiang Tian frowned, and just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Fang Jinyu.

"That's the way it is, a lot of times you always want to believe what you want to believe, isn't it? You've lost trust in some people, and that's why you've trusted other people who have nothing to do with you. ”

Jiang Tian was silent.

"So the people of Ningzhen have long been reluctant to trust certain people, even if they make one statement after another, it will be considered as covering up something."

Bursts of trumpet-playing music came to the ears of the two from far and near, and the event of welcoming the land lord began!

I saw a group of people dressed in red walking towards this direction. The man at the head held a long bamboo pole with a guide flag hanging on it, followed by four other big men, carrying a small sedan chair, and in the sedan chair was a statue of the Lord of the Land. Behind the sedan chair is a group of old men playing folk music.

"Why are you talking to me about this?" Jiang Tian looked at Fang Jinyu's eyes and asked.

"You can just think of it as a spit on an impotent person." Fang Jinyu's eyes were full of sincerity, but also mixed with a trace of exhaustion.

"I believe it."

"Huh?"

"I believe in you."

The two looked at each other for a long time, laughing out loud at the same time, and the people who passed by the two of them couldn't help but look at each other with strange eyes.

At this moment, there was a sudden 'boom', as if there had been an explosion.

Jiang Tian and Fang Jinyu hurriedly looked at the place where the explosion came from, and saw that the sedan chair carrying the statue of the land lord was burning with fire and had already split apart. The man carrying the sedan chair retreated a long way, with several wounds on his body and bleeding.

"Ahh Screams erupted from the crowd. Immediately afterward, people scrambled to flee as fast as they could, and from time to time someone looked behind them in horror, and screams came one after another.

Soon, many people accidentally fell to the ground in the process of escaping, some quickly got up and continued to flee for their lives, while others were a few beats slower.

As a result, the screams were replaced by more and more screams.

"Help! Save me! ”

"Ahh Don't step on me! My hand! ”

"Daddy, Daddy, what's wrong with you? You've bled a lot, woo, woo, Mom! Mom! Daddy is bleeding! ”

……

Fang Jinyu was in a trance, this scene was familiar, it was one of the nightmares he had for many years.

Fang Jinyu gritted his teeth, pulled Jiang Tian, who was a little stunned, and ran towards the open place.

……

Fang Yang, the director of the Ningzhen Police Station, and Fang Jinyu's uncle, the three of them were sitting in the study of Fang Yang's house at this time.

From the moment Fang Jinyu entered the door with Jiang Tian, Fang Yang's gaze never left Jiang Tian. Regarding Jiang Tian's deeds in H City, Fang Yang still knows a little about them.

Fang Yang looked at Fang Jinyu, "Jinyu, what do you mean by bringing this Jiang Tian classmate to my house?" ”

"Hehe, uncle, it's not interesting, I just want to come over together and see if there's anything we can do to help."

"you kid." Fang Yang patted Fang Jinyu's head, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking in your head!" Usually you and Lao Chen messed up with a few things, I can turn a blind eye. What's that, petty theft, you just have to make a fuss. But what is it now? Now is a big case where human lives are at stake, let me tell you Jinyu, after the explosion last night, the district party committee gave me a message, saying that the city and the province were all alarmed, and someone would soon be sent to take over. So, you'd better give me some points. ”

Jin Yu looked at Jiang Tian helplessly.

“OK！” Jiang Tian stood up and said with a smile: "Then don't bother, oh, people from the province, I'm really looking forward to it, which buddy will it be?" ”

With that, Jiang Tian smiled and nodded to Fang Yang, and then walked out the door.

"This kid is quite flamboyant." Fang Yang smiled, "It's a bit bold. ”

"Well, at least he's really good, maybe he can help me ......" Fang Jinyu stood up, a few traces of sadness in his eyes.

Fang Yang frowned, staring at Fang Jinyu for a long time, and sighed.

"Still can't put it down?"

"I still can't put it down."

……

After coming out of Fang Yang's house, Jiang Tian and Fang Jinyu walked aimlessly on the street.

As a result of last night's explosion, the former bustle of the streets is gone, and only a few scattered shops are still waving listlessly to the customers on the street with tired eyes open.

"Actually, hehe, sometimes I wonder, what are you solving the case for?" Fang Jinyu said.

"For what?" Jiang Tian's expression was a little strange, "Vulgar, for justice?" ”

The two of them laughed in unison.

"Actually, I don't know." Jiang Tianchang took a long breath, "I don't know, I may just be because of my hobby, to be honest, I haven't thought about why, I haven't thought about becoming a detective in your heart, I haven't thought about becoming a so-called hero." Actually, I just want to be good, well, for the sake of vulgar justice, for the obsession in my heart, I just want to do something. Just like you, Fang Jinyu, what Director Fang meant just now, don't you often go to 'join in the fun'? ”

"Hey, hey." Fang Jinyu laughed.

The two were silent for a while, and then, almost in unison, they asked each other, "Is it worth it?" ”

It's like asking each other, and it's like asking yourself.

Sometimes, when you love someone so deeply that they get bored, ask yourself: Is it worth it?

Sometimes, do one thing, try your best until you feel tired inside, and ask yourself: Is it worth it?

Some people, when the giving is not proportional to the get, will they remember that sentence in their hearts: Is it worth it?

Persevering, giving up, inexplicably, non-stop.

For the reluctance of those who died?

Tears for those who died?

Is it worth it?

The air looked down and thought for a long time before giving the two of them the freedom to breathe.

"I don't know, but I just want to do something for them, for no reason, all the time."

"Me too."

"It's just, how do we check? Now there is no single channel to reach the case itself. ”
