The wind and rain of a day and a night seemed to have stripped away all the muscles and flesh of the city, and there was not a single dust left, and the tail of the weakening typhoon crashed into the high-rise buildings like a forest, which was scattered into countless disorderly whirlwinds, and the rain was also swept around. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe streets are like mirrors, and the rain flows into streams on the roadside and rushes to the outlets.

The bell string stood at the intersection of the two roads, and the umbrella above his head did not play much of a role in shielding the wind, and the raindrops were swept by the wind from time to time and flew to his face. He looked around as if he were in a magical world.

Officer Deng's figure appeared in the misty rain, with a large dark blue umbrella in a neat step, and he stopped a few steps away from the bell string to look at a large black Cherokee parked on the side of the road.

"Your car?"

Zhong Xian nodded: "Look how sincerely I help you, out of the car and out of the car." ”

"I can't believe you like American muscle cars." Officer Deng said.

They got in the car. "What's the location of Longgang?" Bell Sine opens the navigation.

"I'm showing the way. Drive in the direction of Longgang first. Deng Yi said. He glanced around the car, "New to me?" ”

"It's been two years." Zhong Xian said.

"How did you get rich overnight?"

"I've never been rich. Is a car of half a million considered rich here? ”

"Who are you going to compare yourself to? You've only been here for three or four years, haven't you? It's only been a year to be an executive. Which Xiaobai has such a turning speed. Why don't you teach me, I'm not a police officer and I'm going to do it with you. ”

"The police officer's way to get money is not wilder, you just mix it up slowly. Oh, sorry. I don't mean to be offended, I've always believed that you are a decent gentleman. ”

"In your opinion, how much money is considered rich? There are a lot of people who say that you have a bright future. ”

Zhong Xian smiled and looked at the road in front of him: "In the past, I also thought that if you have the ability to do things, you will have a future. ”

"Isn't it?" Deng Yi looked back and forth in the car again, "This car is too new, like it was just brought out of the car dealership." You rarely open it. He glanced at the bell strings, "Not even an ornament." Don't you put one on the non-slip mat perfume or something? ”

"There used to be. Later, I thought it was best to be simple, so I threw it all away. ”

"You're a person with a bit of a mental problem." Deng Yi said bluntly.

Zhong Xian replied more simply: "Yes, I exposed all my problems to you last night. ”

The corners of Deng Yi's mouth rose, and his eyes wandered as if thinking:

"I was also about to say that those who have the ability do not necessarily have a future. There is a thing that has to be ranked before ability, and it is called mental endurance. ”

Zhong Xian's heart shook deeply. On the surface, he was deliberately calm: "Really? ”

Officer Deng's eyes looked at Zhong Xian's face for three seconds, and then turned away to look at the road ahead: "I wasn't afraid of anything when I went out on my first mission. But when faced with the possibility of death, cripplement, or physical torture, I wavered from the idea of becoming a police officer. I was frightened, not at the time, but later, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became. From then on, he never dared to act recklessly. There are even times when the pursuit of peace is the goal. I know it's cowardly to say that. Mental endurance should be ranked before ability, which is my perception. But you're a white-collar worker, so you don't want to express this meaning. ”

Zhong Xian laughed at himself: "I always show that I have a psychological problem in front of you. But actually, do you believe it? I'm really not like that in front of other people. ”

"I believe it."

Zhong Xian smiled: "Don't you think it's strange? ”

"When faced with someone you trust and have deep feelings, your mind will automatically let go of your defenses. You once said I was like your friend when I was a teenager. You mistook me for him. Deng Yi turned his head to look at him. In psychology, this is called empathy. ”

"Maybe a little bit...... It's not all about empathy. Zhong Xian actually felt a little hot on his face. Instead, he said, "I've been reading books on psychology lately. ”

"Look at which one. Freud's? ”

"Forgot the author's name. It's really not serious. It's called the rebuilding of life. ”

"That book...... Probably useless to you. Actually, I have other ideas. Deng Yi said. In the face of problems in life, if you choose to escape, it will cause a temporary state of psychological internal pressure. Running away will not be liberating, it will only bring greater suffering later. The subconscious, in order to protect the mental system from being crushed, sometimes makes people think that they have some disease. Heal and you'll be fine. ”

Zhong Xian's heart was shaking. It took him a while before he said, "You're still a psychologist." ”

"Experts don't count. It's my job, criminal psychology versus psychology, and I'll look at it often. ”

"And what do you think I'm running away from?" Zhong Xian laughed.

"You should know it yourself."

"But I really don't know."

"You and Miss Yang ......"

Zhong Xian felt bored: "Don't mention her again!" He interrupted the other a little uncontrollably, "You occasionally saw one of my countless women and thought you saw all of me?" I'm really the more asshole side, I don't love her at all, that's why. If you think that this is the problem that I have avoided and that it is causing my psychological problems, then your analysis is very wrong! ”

"You don't love that beauty, who do you love?"

Zhong Xian shook his head vigorously, insisting that this was not a problem he was running away from at all.

"If you exclude feelings, that's money." Deng Yi said, "You said that these two are things that have made you feel the ultimate happiness in life. Have you overdrawn your credit card? Have you ever had trouble with money? Or there is someone who has had a financial relationship with you and makes you ......"

"Nope." Zhong Xian held a face as if he was stiff from the neck up. After a while, he pointed to the road ahead, "Do you want to keep driving?" Say in advance where to turn the corner. ”

"Just follow Line 3." Deng Yi said. He then stared at his phone and stopped talking.

The car finally drove to a sparsely populated suburb, where there were patches of barren meadows, and a blue line was revealed in the corner of the overcast sky. The rain seems to have stopped.

Several identical buildings stand neatly at the end of the barren meadow.

They were stopped by the doorman of the factory, and after a while a simple-looking girl came to the guard's room, she looked like she was in her teens, a little fat, with a round figure, and she was clearly still a child. She looked very reserved, her eyes did not dare to look at them, and her face was red to her neck.

"There are some questions that need to be asked of you. Zhu Xinhe, do you have anything to put here? Deng Yi asked. To relax the girl, they left the guard room and stood on the path outside the gate.

The girl shook her head as she carefully rubbed her head into a corner of the wall next to the door that was best for hiding.

Zhong Xian saw this kind of rural girl for the first time, as if she had traveled from the nineties of the last century. Wearing a fat skirt in bright colors that she thought was popular, and on her feet were a pair of pink sandals made of old, dirty styrofoam.

"You've been together for so long, haven't you left anything here?" Deng Yi asked.

Zhong Xian thought that Deng Yi was looking for something that Xiao Zhu had used, probably because the police had a DNA bank or something, maybe he wanted to try his luck in that way.

The girl's eyes wandered, and she said shyly, "He bought me a towel, a basin and a mat......"

"When did you come to work at this factory?"

"A year, more than a year ago."

"Where was it before?"

"YN, are you a YN person?"

"It's not. Ann, AH rural. ”

"What's the name of the village?"

The girl muttered two words, but the bell strings did not hear clearly. He saw Deng Yi write it down with his mobile phone.

"What are you doing at YN?"

The girl seemed to be nervous and about to cry: "Look, find my dad." ”

"Since your dad is in YN, why did you come to SZ again?"

The girl pursed her lips vigorously: "Come to work." ”

"How did you and Xiao Zhu meet?" Zhong Xian interjected and asked. "Don't be nervous. He's a cop and he's here to help you. ”

"Online." The girl's efforts were successful, her expression looked much more normal, and it no longer looked like she was about to cry, "He got me a job." ”

"Xiao Zhu helped you find a job in this factory?" Zhong Xian was surprised. "That's why you came to him from YN?"

The girl nodded. Zhong Xian imagined how Xiao Zhu had tricked a girl who might not be an adult on the Internet. "Your dad agreed to you coming?"

The girl nodded. She didn't say a word. Answer what you ask. But her expression is richer than her words. She wanted to cry again.

"How did your dad treat you?" The bell strings are in hot pursuit.

The girl struggled to figure out what to say.

"Did he drive you away?"

The girl shook her head, but tears fell.

"So what's going on?"

"He got married again. I have two younger brothers. The girl wiped away all the tears that had fallen with the palm of her hand. They've been working outside since I was born. My grandmother passed away after graduating from junior high school, and my mother was never heard from. She spoke it all, and her tears flowed out of her eyes. In this way, the bell strings don't have to ask one by one.

Zhong Xian never thought that there would be such a thing in this day and age. Although from the news occasionally see the living conditions of rural people. But it's all good in the report. Farmhouses are built like villas, and rural households can get state subsidies. Isn't it a lot better than before? This girl should have a bad fate, and she met a wreck like Xiao Zhu again. Although Xiao Zhu loves to brag, he is generally harmless, who will believe him? But when she sees this girl, she may be Xiao Zhu's only 'victory'.

Zhong Xian didn't want to guess how Xiao Zhu bragged about his skills to this girl on the Internet, so that the girl thought that she had found support, and did not hesitate to leave the new home of her father, who had made her so neglected and discriminated against.

The girl quickly held back her tears. The sadness made her forget about her shyness and nervousness for a while. "Do you know where he is? Mr. Zhong. ”

Zhong Xian shook his head. But I heard Deng Yi suddenly say next to him: "What did you say?" ”

The girl looked at Deng Yi nervously: "I said...... You've found him, haven't you? ”

Officer Deng pointed to the bell string and asked the girl, "No." What do you call him? I didn't introduce him to you. Do you know him? ”

The girl looked at Zhong Xian at a loss, and Zhong Xian suddenly came to her senses and looked at the girl suspiciously.

The girl's face turned red again, as if she didn't dare to speak for a while, for fear that she would answer something wrong.
