After the Spring Festival, my parents returned to France with the summer, and before getting on the plane, I told my aunt and Ran Jing to find a girlfriend for me no less than a thousand times, and she must be smart and beautiful, saying that it is good for the genes of the next generation.

Ran Jing said: "Second elder, don't worry, I will definitely find a star wife for Xia Yu, so beautiful that I don't need to raise flowers at home, just look at my wife every day." ”

My mother is very simple, and after listening to it, she said seriously: "It's not okay to find celebrities, now celebrities have plastic surgery, and it will be troublesome if a child is so ugly that even his parents can't recognize it." Besides, how can celebrities be reliable, the circle is so chaotic, I'm afraid I don't even know if I'm sick. Xia Yu, haven't you been a paparazzi, a woman in the entertainment industry, you can't find it. However, the flight attendants in this circle can consider it. ”

I said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, that's called an entertainment reporter, referred to as entertainment notes, how ugly the paparazzi are." Also, don't do everything to the entertainment industry, when will the flight attendant join the entertainment industry? ”

"Anyway, you can't find dancing, acting, body art, sexy car models and the like."

Ran Jing said: "Don't worry, your son just wants to find a star to be his wife, and he doesn't have that life, celebrities have to marry into wealthy families and share property, Xia Yu can only find a woman from a good family to live." Also, why are flight attendants exceptional? ”

"Find a flight attendant as a wife, we can be regarded as family members of the airline, and won't the round-trip air tickets to and from China and France be discounted in the future?" Mom said excitedly.

The old aunt and Chen Xiao couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.

After my parents returned to France with the summer, Ran Jing urged me to move back several times, and I said that a friend had recently come to live in Lucheng, and the friend would move again.

Living alone, sometimes waking up in the middle of the night, the cold air hanging on the wall, the faint sound of mahjong rubbing next door, the crisp sound of a lighter, and the violent cough of a woman after choking on the smoke, and the mist of white flowers on the window pane shrouded a strange and clear night. I heard the distant riverside water gently flowing through the aquatic plants, a dog running back and forth on the beach, sighing and howling in despair, perhaps this was its last wail, in this cold and biting night, the owner has long since lost its direction and courage, and gradually lost itself in the cold river.

An old song of Teresa Teng was playing on the radio downstairs, and the attendant fell asleep on the sofa in a drowsy manner, the song was still singing quietly, but the person who sang it was long gone, for many years.

Lao Tian called twice to repay the money, but I repeatedly pushed me back, saying that I was not in a hurry, and he insisted that I go to the newspaper office to get it, saying that it was ready.

"I went to the palace to look for you, and I heard that you moved back home. I'm afraid that you will use money during the Spring Festival, so I won't answer your calls. Lao Tian said on the phone.

Lao Tian said that he wanted to repay the money, but in fact, he was holding on, and he had a bad time during that time. Before the holiday, the newspaper spread the "story" of Lao Tian's gift, which replaced the meat joke and became a classic chat on the dinner table in the news circle.

Although Lao Tian is highly educated, he is a dull-minded person.

A few years ago, he heard that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection was recruiting a propaganda specialist, with deputy section-level treatment and priority transfer of media talents. Lao Tian University's senior brother is a deputy minister in the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and Lao Tian wants to move around and change to work in government departments.

Although he is a senior brother, he often played football and pickled girls together in college, but he is now a leader. Zhu Yuanzhang does not recognize his brother's mentality, Lao Tian understands it very well, after all, he has a deep study of history.

If you have a milk, you are a mother, Lao Tian decided to use money to corrupt, he prepared 20,000 yuan, but at the same time he was skeptical, afraid that the leader would have a black belly - collect money and do nothing, which is the unique professional vigilance of journalists.

Lao Tian came up with a way to use a voice recorder to record all the trading conversations with his senior brother in order to prepare for a retreat. Lao Tian, who was confident, took 20,000 yuan and a voice recorder to his brother's house.

After the two reminisced about the eventful years of their college days and the whereabouts of the beauties back then, Lao Tian took out the package and put it on the table, and went straight to the point and said: "Minister, the first time I came to visit you at home, I have nothing to bring, I took 20,000 yuan for you, the Spring Festival is coming, let's supplement the family." ”

"What is this?!" Senior Brother stood up, furious, and reprimanded Lao Tian sharply, "You are a crime!" Unorganized and undisciplined! Political naivety! ”

Senior brother shouted, and stood up: "I don't accept your set!" Then he pushed Lao Tian out of the door and comforted him, saying, "Work hard, as long as it is a talent, the organization will reuse it." ”

"Bang", Lao Tian was isolated from the door, but the money was left, and Lao Tian came home in a daze and became ill.

Lao Tian did not get his wish, and he was not on the list of personnel hired by the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

He found his senior brother for this, and in the deputy minister's office, the senior brother enthusiastically let him enjoy the flowers, saying that it was an authentic greenhouse orchid, elegant and luxurious, like the face of a class flower in college, and did not say a word about Lao Tian's transfer of work.

Of course, the senior brother will also be polite, many times invited Lao Tian to the house to eat a light meal, gnaw chicken feet, Lao Tian gnawed a chicken feet and annoyed once, the senior brother does not do things, but also pretends to be "approachable", the most terrible thing is that every time Lao Tian is invited to go to the senior brother's house to gnaw chicken feet, he has to change the tricks to buy gifts, it is not appropriate to go empty-handed, and he is afraid that the senior brother will be unhappy with anything casually, and the gift given by the senior brother will be in vain if he is not happy.

Although the senior brother said every time: "Lao Tian, you're welcome to me, just bring your mouth next time." But Lao Tian felt that he could not make the mistake of political naivety, and he resolutely could not be gullible in what the leader said.

It only costs a dozen yuan to eat chicken feet at Senior Brother's house, and Lao Tian has to spend hundreds of yuan. So the matter of being invited to dinner became Lao Tian's heart disease, and he didn't expect to spend money to buy himself a chicken rib. Seeing that his senior brother was proud of the spring breeze and felt good about himself, Lao Tian used his knowledge of history to secretly greet his ancestors for dozens of generations.

Lao Tian was upset, so he told his daughter-in-law about these things, and his daughter-in-law told the families of other reporters, so the story of "Lao Tian's gift" began to circulate in the circle.

But Lao Tian's misfortune is far more than that.

On the day I was invited to the newspaper office to withdraw money, the newspaper gate was surrounded by the masses for two days, all because of Lao Tian.

I parked the car on the side of the road opposite the newspaper office and waited for Lao Tian, but Lao Tian didn't come, so I asked Ning Meng to send 20,000 yuan, saying that I would give the remaining 10,000 yuan later. When I saw the 20,000 yuan, I remembered Lao Tian's gift, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

Ning Meng whispered to me about Lao Tian's more unfortunate things.

The reporter is so good, he never hides what he hears or wants to say, and sometimes, he can't hold back more than the square aunt.

Last summer, Lao Tian received a report from the public that there is a broken culvert in the western suburbs of Lucheng, usually living beggars picking up garbage, the smell is stinking, the water accumulates into a river on rainy days, and the culvert is the only way for the locals to pass, and several children have drowned, and everyone asks for a lot of renovation.

Lao Tian and two colleagues went to interview, but after the manuscript was written, they were "shot" by the editor, because the western suburbs were about to be developed, and the news would have a bad impact.

The leader was furious, saying that he would develop the economy first and then develop the environment, and that he had no money to do anything to develop the environment, and the two people argued for a long time over the question of whether there was an egg or a chicken first, but the draft was still suppressed.

The problem is that the two reporters who went to interview with Lao Tian both received red envelopes from citizens, and Lao Tian confiscated them.

At the time of the interview, only Lao Tian reported his identity, and the other two reporters did not say which media it was. Therefore, they all think that Lao Tian is the leading reporter, and Lao Tian is not capable of publishing articles. A group of citizens gathered at the newspaper office to demand that Lao Tian be punished for corruption.

"Lao Tian is writing an inspection at this time, I heard that he is going to write tens of thousands of words, and he just wrote an introduction." Ning Meng said before leaving.

On the way back, I passed by the bank and prepared to deposit money.

If I had counted money in the car, been five minutes late to the bank, or had been in the toilet in a hurry, what happened later would have nothing to do with me, but fate is something that no one can predict.

It was a clear, calm afternoon, with not many people in the bank, sunlight streaming through floor-to-ceiling glass into the lobby, and a few customers in the waiting area tilting their heads and drowsy.

The bank security guard leaned against the number machine and lowered his head and picked at his nails, making a crisp and subtle "pop" sound from time to time.

The female duty manager with the word "Internship" on her chest dragged her huge ass and walked around the hall reluctantly, and when she walked into the sunny area, she would stop and look at her fingers in the light, and the palms of the faint puddles of flesh glistened in the sun, as if fat was constantly seeping out, and she smiled with satisfaction.

After taking the number, I sat down in the waiting area, and there were two men in baseball caps beside me, burying their heads deep in their stand-up collar clothes, like turtles in hibernation.

After I sat down, a middle-aged man in a suit took the ledger and went to open the security door of the work area, and later learned that he was the president.

As soon as the governor took out the key to unlock it, two men, one high and one low, walked in from outside the bank, both wearing baseball caps, stand-up collars, and masks. I was guessing what the two men wearing masks were doing when they entered the bank, and I was punched in the head, and in my dizziness, I saw the two men in baseball caps next to me stand up and shout "Get down, rob, whoever dares to move will be killed!" ”

I and the others subconsciously fell to the ground, and the short baseball cap that came in went straight to the security guard, punching and kicking the security guard to the ground, and the security guard lay on the ground, face down, motionless.

The tall man ran to the governor's side, took out a pistol from his arms, pointed it at the president's head and told him to open the door, the president's hand trembled so badly that the key was always on the keyhole, and he looked back at us lying on the ground. The tall man slammed him in the head with the hilt of his gun, blood running down the side of his face.

"Let you open the door, you see they have a fart!" The tall man lowered his voice and attached it to the manager's ear, "Give you five seconds, the door can't be opened, and you will be sent back to heaven directly." ”

At this time, the short man found the switch of the roller shutter, and he kicked the security guard in the head as he closed the door: "Go and turn on the lights, don't fucking play dead, and then pretend to shoot you to death." "The voice was a bit like having a bad cold, very nasal. As he spoke, everyone quietly turned their heads to look, only to realize that he and the other two had pistols in their hands.

The security guard staggered up to turn on the light, and lay down on the spot with his head in his hands. The short man was pleased with his performance, and instead of kicking him, he went straight behind the governor, took a dagger from his arms, and stabbed him in the buttocks. The governor jumped up and kept shouting, "Good man! Brothers! ”

The short man laughed again: "It's been five seconds!" ”

The governor's face was pale and bloodless, and he shook the key like mad to open the door, and the door opened, but there was still a door inside, with a combination lock. The president covered his ass with one hand and entered the password with the other, and the door did not open after the password was entered, and he shivered and turned his head to look at the tall man.

The tall man turned to the short man in confusion, and the short man leaned over and tried to stab him, but the governor was so frightened that he knelt down on his knees: "Brother, brother, this door can only be opened from the inside." ”

On this day, there were three women and two men in the work area, and when the robbery first took place, someone inside screamed, and then it fell silent and there was no more sound.

When the president opened the door, I was lying on the ground in a state of confusion, feeling like I was in a dream, and I couldn't believe that I was experiencing a bank robbery. What scared me the most was that the robbers were still carrying guns, and if they had been armed with knives, I would have gotten up and run, and I might have given someone a kick before I ran. But guns are different, and they are often directly associated with death and gore.

Through the counter, you can't see the work area, but it's so quiet that you think the staff have fled. At the time, I thought that according to the plot of the movie, there would be an alarm under a table in the work area, and as long as the people in it were not controlled by the robbers, the alarm would be turned off.

"Let the people inside open the door!" The tall man continued to squeeze his voice.

The governor stood up, moved to the codedoor, and moved his lips, looking embarrassed. The short man kicked the wound in his buttocks, and then "snapped" two shots at the door, one of which grazed the governor's body and flew past, and the governor threw himself on the door, crying and begging inside: "Open the door, please, I will die!" ”

This is the first time in my life that I have heard the sound of gunshots, the sound of bullets whistling is not as chic and crisp as in film and television dramas, although it is not deafening, but the shock brought by the dull sound of hitting makes the ears continue to linger with fragmented aftersound, until it scares people away.

As the short man fired, several mixed-sex screams rang out from the work area, confirming that no one had escaped.

The president's crying voice shook everyone, and the fat female duty manager lay next to me, and also cried quietly, but she was immediately lifted up and slapped a few times, and after the slap, she was thrown to the ground, looking at me with wooden eyes, her body trembled violently, like a dying fish thrown to the ground, blood slowly oozed from her mouth, I thought she was going to die, and the great fear also infected me.

Seeing that the governor begged for a long time to no avail, the short man shouted through the door: "Give you ten seconds, and if you don't open the door, I will kill him first, and then kill the others." For robbery, time is of the essence, and when the police come, we will all die together, and the explosives I brought with me can blow up this place, and none of you will want to live. ”

I noticed that he had a backpack on him, and he put it on the ground and started rummaging.

Before the short man could figure out anything, there was a shrill siren outside, followed by countless sirens, and the sound of brakes, and you could tell that a large number of police were arriving.

Maybe it was the siren that emboldened me, or maybe it was the governor's wails that moved the people inside, and I heard two "clicks" and someone opened the door inside.

When the door was opened, the tall man began to cough, and at the end of the cough, he twisted his neck and pulled off his mask, revealing half of his face.

I sneaked a look at him, met the tall man's eyes, and when he saw me, he was stunned, but then quickly put on his mask, strode up to me, and kicked me in the face. I held my head in my hands and lay on the ground, almost stopping to breathe, when I heard the tall man fiddling with the bolt and the bullet loaded.

My brain went blank, and I felt that I was really going to die, so I gritted my teeth, tensed my muscles, and waited for death to come. I hope the bullet can be sharper, don't make me hurt too much, one shot is the best, death is not too terrible, what is terrible is the process of waiting for death.

The tall man must have thought that half of his face was being seen by me, that he was exposed, but in fact I had not seen anything, and I was deeply shocked by the deplorable condition of the president, and in that chaotic situation, it was impossible for the brain to recognize anything.

When the gunshot rang out, I felt a strong feeling of vomiting in my stomach, I didn't feel pain, I didn't faint, and I didn't seem to be dead. I thought the tall man had missed, and I was sweating profusely and waiting for him to fire a second shot. Later, I found out that the gunshot had nothing to do with me, and that I was vomiting because I was too scared.

This time the gunfire was fired by the short man in the work area, and as soon as he entered the work area, he asked who had rang the alarm bell, pointed the gun at everyone's head in turn, and rubbed the dagger in the girls' faces.

Finally, a girl bravely stood up and said that she had pressed it. Brave people often put themselves in danger, but those who are timid and grovel can survive, otherwise there are words such as "lingering" and "humble living".

As soon as the girl stepped forward, the short man shot her in the chest. The girl is said to be unusually strong, and she slowly fell to the ground with her hands on her bleeding chest, her eyes fixed on the short man with hatred.

Hearing the gunshot, the tall man ran into the work area and argued with the short man. The two robbers pointed their guns at each other, almost getting caught off fire over it.

I don't know why the tall man didn't kill me, and he was arguing with the short robber about the killing, and I guessed that maybe it was because he hadn't killed his conscience yet, maybe because he hadn't killed anyone yet, and I didn't understand it until much later.

The police kept shouting inside, nothing more than telling the robbers that they had been surrounded by groups and that they could not escape, so they quickly laid down their weapons and released the hostages.

There was not much cash in the bank safe that day, and the short man asked the staff to open all the safes, take out the cash and put it in his backpack, and when he got to the last safe, the staff said that he couldn't open it, and the short man dragged the half-dead governor in and forced him to open it. When the safe opened, the short man raised his hand and shot the governor, which hit him in the head, killing him instantly.

According to later statistics, the robbers robbed more than 3 million yuan and more than 30,000 US dollars.

After the robbers loaded the money, we moved from the hall to the work area, and except for the dead bank president and the girl who was injured and fell to the ground, the remaining four staff members sat with five of us customers and a security guard sitting back to back.

The Governor was lying on the ground twisted and staggered, with a bloody hole in the back of his head, and the thick blood kept flowing onto the ground, forming a long drag mark in the aisle. Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, as if waiting for the final verdict to be pronounced.

The girl who fell to the ground was breathing weakly, one hand was still covering her chest, and blood was gushing from the wound, staining her hands and upper body red.

I tried to plug her wound with a towel from a chair next to me to make the blood flow more slowly, but when the short man saw it, he shot me in the foot, and pieces of the cracked floor flew up and stabbed a client in the face.

It wasn't the short man who missed the shot, he wanted to give me a shot, but the tall man grabbed him when he fired the shot. The short man stared angrily at his accomplice for a few seconds, then walked out.

Only one robber was left in the work area, and the other robbers all walked through the hall to the bank office area, which was lined up in the corridor on the other side of the hall, with the president's office, the director's room, the management room, etc.

The robbers tinkered in the office area for a long time, and there was the sound of smashing the wall, and after ten minutes, one of the robbers ran to the work area sweating profusely.

"Got it done?" The caretaker robber asked.

"The wall is too hard, you go get it, I'll rest for a while." The robber who came in said wiping his sweat. I suspect they might be looking for gold jewelry or something.

The police stopped shouting. I listened with bated breath, it was unusually quiet outside, only the sound of car horns could be heard faintly in the distance, and I didn't know what the police were doing.

The landline phone on the desk in the work area rang several times, and it was supposed that the police had called in to negotiate with the robbers. Every time the phone rang, the guards and robbers picked it up and hung up.

Tall and short robbers walked to the door of the work area and smoked. The tall man said, "I don't know what the police are doing, so if you can't get it, you have to rush in." ”

The short man was silent for a while and said, "We used the bank phone to contact the outside, and we said that there are people here who are injured and not dead, and let them send a doctor in, delay the time, and know what the police are doing." ”

The two walked in after discussing it, and the short man picked up the landline phone on the table and dialed 110, asking 110 to transfer the command of the robbery scene. When the phone was answered, the short man said, "There's a hostage here who is injured and dying, send a doctor in and ask for a woman!" ”

The dialogue between the robbers is confident and unflustered, like making a police movie that already knows the ending.

The bank had a side door that led to the ATM, and a few minutes later, a female doctor sent by the police came in through the side door.

There was a search in the hall, and then the female doctor appeared in front of us, she was wearing a white medical gown, and when I came in, I was looking down and looking up when I saw the white hem of my clothes at my feet.

When I saw the female doctor, I was shocked and my heart was about to stop.

Meng Xing carried a medical kit and stood under the light, some halos of light surrounding her slightly thin body. At this moment, she was like an isolated little girl, standing alone on the edge of danger, with undercurrents surging around her, but she was not afraid.

She was shocked to see me, her brow furrowed, and the medical kit almost fell out of her hand.

encountered her again in an embarrassing situation, and this time, maybe lost his life. I don't want to see Meng Xing die in front of me, and I don't want to be killed in front of her, this kind of death is too wrecked and meaningless. I don't know why so many police officers in Lucheng let her come, she has only been in the criminal police for a short time.

Later, Ran Jing told me that at that time, people outside did not know what was going on in the bank, and their calls to the robbers were refused, and they had no way to find negotiators, and the SWAT team attacked and could not figure out the location of the robbers.

When the decent man delivered the hidden camera from the window, he heard that the robbers wanted a female doctor, so he immediately looked for a candidate. It was not appropriate to let a real doctor in, a shot was fired in the bank, maybe someone was already dead.

The on-site commander immediately transferred the forensic doctor, and unfortunately, except for the two female forensic doctors in the bureau who went to the scene that day, everyone else went to the provincial department to participate in the training. Several female police officers at the scene asked to enter the bank, and the aunt also considered going in person, but none of them knew how to heal.

At that time, Meng Xing was coordinating an ambulance on the side, and after she heard about it, she took the initiative to ask to go in, and Meng Xing learned emergency treatment and trauma treatment at the police academy. The police all thought that she was too young, that she had just joined the criminal police team, and that it was too dangerous to enter. But Meng Xing had already changed his clothes and walked towards the bank resolutely.

I stared at Meng Xing, with mixed feelings, and I couldn't move my eyes for a while. Meng Xing quickly calmed down, her face turned pale, she squatted down casually and touched the twisted Xing Chang lying in the corner, and then walked over to check the wound of the injured girl.

The girl was unconscious, Meng Xing took out medical gauze and tourniquet from the box, and whispered to me while wrapping gauze for the girl: "Are you okay, are you injured?" ”

My heart was so hot that I almost burst into tears. Meng Xing was half facing me, the light reflected her side face, and her cheeks drew a beautiful arc in the shadow of the light. I whispered, "It's okay, why did you get in?" ”

Before she could reply, the short man threw over a glass of water and cursed a few swear words and said, "Where's the joint!" It's also a code! ”

Meng Xing stared at him calmly and said, "She is in danger now, and it will be too late if she doesn't rescue her." I'll stay here, get her out, and one less hostage won't be a big deal. ”

The short man laughed and said, "You're the fucking police, it's all played on TV, the bad guys let the doctor in, and the police send undercover agents to pretend to be doctors, while inquiring about the situation, while looking for opportunities to rescue the hostages." ”

Meng Xing stood up and looked at him and said, "I'm just here to save the wounded, besides, I'm empty-handed, so many of you, with guns, are you still afraid of me as a woman?" ”

"You're really a fucking policeman, I can tell at a glance that you're a policeman, just look at your eyes, I'll shoot you right now!" The short man put a gun at Meng Xing's forehead and pushed her into the corner.

I wanted to stand up, but Meng Xing glared at me fiercely, and I didn't move, looking at them nervously.

The tall robber walked over and pulled the short man aside: "Leave her alone, carry the woman out on the ground, show our sincerity, and let the police relax." ”

The short robber confronted Meng Xing for a while, followed the advice of his accomplices, and asked us to carry the injured girl to the side door of the bank, where he took the gun back and instructed us to carry the man. Seeing that he let Meng Xing go, I let out a sigh of relief, and my forehead and palms were wet with sweat. Meng Xing's participation in this dangerous game made me feel even more oppressed, and I was afraid that she would pay the price with her life. I silently prayed in my heart that as long as we were out of danger, I would be a good person from now on, not do any bad things, and do good until I was old.

Two other men and I took the initiative to lift the girl up and walk out. Meng Xing stood in the corner of the wall and exhaled heavily, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death threshold.

When carrying people, Meng Xing wanted to follow. The short man pushed her viciously: "Stay honest, I'll kill you sooner or later!" ”

Carrying the girl to the door, two SWAT officers outside reached out and carried her out, and the robbers drove us back with guns, and then returned to the work area, where Meng Xing was sitting on the ground to check the swollen face of the female manager on duty.

The other robbers went to the office again, and only the short man sat in front of the telephone, talking to the police outside, and he made a condition: "Drive a full gas bus, prepare food on board, and let the police retreat 200 meters away." ”

I sat down by Meng Xing, the two of us didn't speak, we looked at each other from time to time, smiled miserably, and our minds were in a mess.

The short man kept coming up with new conditions, and it took about an hour with the police before the tall man came in and said, "Ready." ”

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the room became tense.

When we thought we were going to suffer misfortune, the short man simply commanded the other two robbers to kidnap people one by one, showing no sign of executing the hostages.

When Meng Xing was tied, the short man suddenly let the two accomplices dodge, he first took off the magazine and looked at it, then put it on again, aimed at Meng Xing at the door and said: "The police can't stay, if they stay, we won't be able to live." ”

Feeling the blood rushing up to my brain, I didn't have time to think about it, and with great fear, I slammed into Meng Xing. After the gunshot, the upper body was numb, and there was a huge momentum that pierced the body, there was no pain, the body rushed to the ground, and when it fell quickly, I heard Meng Xing's hoarse scream, and in a trance, I saw that her face was full of horror.

He stretched out his arms and tried to take her into his arms and hide away from the danger, but his head slammed into the ground, and it was dark.
