The arrival of summer has brought the whole city to life in dazzling light and greenery, and the crime rate has begun to climb, and the food stalls and night markets in the streets and alleys of Lucheng are filled with alcohol and greetings to the ancestors.

Meng Xing began to be busy, sometimes not seeing each other for several days. Sometimes, she came to me suddenly in the middle of the night, tired, and fell asleep quickly in my arms, and then left again at dawn.

On that dreary summer, the Lucheng police launched a city-wide crackdown on crime. A group of reporters and I followed up on the Binhe District Public Security Bureau. Li Wei, the head of the sub-bureau, is a classmate of Chen Xiao and a former director of the Dongcheng District Public Security Bureau.

Dongzheng fire, Li Wei's deputy director committed suicide, he was exempted from punishment and transferred to the Binhe branch as the director, some people say that he has a mysterious background.

Li Weizhi is good at putting on a show. Every summer, police training is carried out, and the police officers wear formal uniforms for military training under the scorching sun.

A mysterious tragedy filled with thick smoke began when I followed and reported on the Binhe District Public Security Bureau.

That summer, Li Wei was training his troops, and an old man in his sixties who was dressed in tattered noodles stumbled into the venue, and several policemen were in hot pursuit. As soon as the uncle came in, he went straight to Li Wei, who was sitting under the podium, and I saw that his goal was accurate, and I was sure that something was happening.

The uncle ran in front of Li Wei and knelt down, causing a commotion in the audience.

"Director, please be the master of the people! My son is dead, poisoned by wine! After shouting, the uncle sat on the ground and cried.

The reporters crowded over to watch, and I subconsciously raised the camera.

Seeing the reporter coming, Li Wei waved his hand to stop the policemen who were chasing after him, and bent down to help the old man, but he couldn't help him.

The old man's surname is Shao, his family lives in a poor mountainous area in the suburbs, and his son has just gotten married, and he was poisoned by drinking fake wine at a simple wedding banquet.

Uncle Shao and his wife walked hundreds of miles to the city to ask for help, and the two stayed in a small hotel, begging for a few steamed buns a day, eating with tap water, and never came up with a way to redress their grievances.

Qingfeng Yu Distillery, which is suspected of making poisonous liquor, is located in Binhe District, and they came to the Binhe Public Security Bureau after being instructed by someone, but because they had not been in contact with the police, they were a little scared and stayed at the door of the Public Security Bureau for two days without eating.

In the end, Uncle Shao's wife said that she couldn't hold on to her body.

The two of them entered the bureau, they went to the report room, there were many people, noisy, the police made a record of them, let them go back and wait, the uncle's wife cried and fell to the ground and said: "Sir, it's good, you can't wait any longer, there will be no tomorrow if you wait any longer!" ”

The police said: "The investigation takes time, you can only go back and wait." ”

The next day, Uncle Shao went to the substation again, and the police said that the case had been transferred to the police station in the jurisdiction. The police station was in the suburbs, and they asked while walking for a day to arrive, and it was already dark, only one assistant police officer was walking the dog in the yard, and the uncle said a rough idea through the door, and the assistant police replied that it was not clear, he didn't care about the case, let the uncle come back tomorrow, and then led the dog into the house.

The two got together outside the police station for one night, it was raining that night, it was cold outside, and my wife had a high fever and was a little confused.

After dawn, Uncle Shao went into the police station alone to ask, and the police said that the police in charge of affairs went to the countryside early, and they might come back when they came, and they were not in the service area when they called. The uncle and his wife waited outside the police station for another day.

After the police came back, the uncle went to ask again, and the police said that they were investigating, and asked them to leave their mobile phone numbers, and told them that after making progress, the uncle said, I don't have any mobile phones, I can't even eat, so we will wait at the door.

The police said, then you can do whatever you want, and leave after work.

They stayed up all night at the door, feeling that this was not the way, and they had to see the leader, and walked from the suburbs to the sub-bureau, on the way, Uncle Shao's wife fainted several times, and Uncle Shao asked her to insist, saying that it was his son's life.

At the sub-bureau, identified by the hawker at the door, the two of them went to intercept the director of the bureau, but before they reached the director Li Wei, a car drove in the distance, and a few people shook hands with the director, and the director got into the car and left.

Although he passed by the director, the uncle and his wife felt that since they saw the leader, there was hope. I went to the vegetable market to pick up some leftover radishes and came back to eat, and insisted on one night again at the gate of the bureau, but the next morning I didn't see the leader come to work, according to the security guard, the director drank too much last night and didn't get up yet.

The uncle's wife lay on the ground and said, I can't lose my son's life in vain, I really can't do it, I guess I have to accompany my son, you go to the leader.

The uncle put his wife in the corner and sat down, walked around the bureau, and didn't see the leader, but found a few steamed buns outside the bureau restaurant, he picked them up and wanted to take them out for his wife to eat, but his wife couldn't find anything.

He searched around for a long time, and on the bank of a man-made river, he found his wife who was already cold.

After understanding the situation, Li Wei said solemnly: "This case will definitely be thoroughly investigated, this is murder!" The sub-bureau has set up a special task force to return justice to the victims. ”

After that, Li Wei led the police to start an investigation, and on suspicion of endangering public safety, the Qingfeng Jade Distillery was closed down on suspicion of making poisonous liquor.

The closure of the distillery pushed Junnan Group into the public opinion outlet. This distillery is a key enterprise of Junnan Group.

And the investigation of the source of poisoned liquor also directly pointed to Qingfeng Jade Distillery. The media have reported that Junnan Group and Qingfeng Jade Distillery are at the center of the storm.

Some online media said that the police went to Qingfeng Jade Distillery to investigate and found that the harmful substances in the raw materials of liquor making exceeded the standard, and they were suspected of manufacturing fake liquor in large quantities.

The most bizarre article said that the winery workers peed on the wine tank all day long, and there was also news that it was no wonder that Qingfeng Yujiu seemed to smell of urine, and it still urinated after the fire.

I told Uncle Shao about these situations, and he was lying in bed in a daze, and the reporters pooled money to buy him to buy food on the table, and he didn't eat at all.

After hearing me, he sat up suddenly, and then collapsed halfway through, his eyes staring straight at the ceiling, his face a gray one.

I was startled and ran over to him and shouted, "Uncle, uncle." ”

Halfway through, he turned his head to look at me, smiled, and said in a chaotic voice, "I'm fine, you can get busy." ”

A few days later, at dusk, someone found the old man in the riverside, and he chose to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river.

When I got the news, my eyes went dark. The old man's gray face kept coming to mind, it was the color of all thoughts, and a person's heart was like ashes.

After that, I went to Uncle Shao's hometown with a few colleagues to understand the situation. The village is remote and poor, and his dead son is the only primary school teacher in the village, and the primary school is dilapidated, and after Xiao Shao's death, classes have been suspended.

The children missed the teacher very much, and they cried one after another.

We have never seen Mr. Shao's new wife, a girl from a neighboring village, who is said to be mentally insane and stays at home all day long.

After Uncle Shao died, someone anonymously paid for the funeral.

Zixuan finally found the crisis of Junnan Group, made a special report to comment on this matter, and thought of the Dongzheng fire, saying that the management of Junnan Group's enterprises was chaotic and safety accidents were frequent.

Once bumped into me in Taiwan, Zixuan asked me if I had a relationship with Zhao Junqing.

I said, "Just knowing." ”

"You have to be cautious, who are the Zhao Junnan brothers, you can just ask someone on the street. They are the underworld! Zixuan said with a frown.

"Don't worry, I'll take notice." I say.

Zixuan observed me for a long time, and when he saw that I didn't dare to look at him, he shook his head and left, throwing down a sentence: "Look at it yourself." ”

I called Zhao Junqing to ask about the situation, and after listening to it, Zhao Junqing said, "I'm in the Three Kingdoms Tea House, let's have tea." ”

Zhao Junqing sat in the private room of the "Flooded Seventh Army", Mr. Jiang, Gao Chuan, Brother Xiong, and Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liu, who I saw last time, were all there.

I greeted everyone, and Brother Xiong brought a chair for me to sit down.

Everyone talked about some inconsequential things first, and after a few cups of tea, they talked about the "poisoned wine incident".

Zhao Junqing said with some emotion: "The poisonous wine is not produced by our Qingfeng Jade Distillery, and someone deliberately framed and poisoned it. Junnan Group has had speculation in the past, but it will never do anything harmful. It may be a bit of a big deal to say, but for so many years, we have adhered to this principle. It's not that we can't afford to pay the old man's son, but we can't pay it, and once we pay it, it will be tantamount to admitting that we made the poisoned wine, and the company's reputation is all over. ”

Everyone was silent, and he sighed and said, "Now, the most suspicious is the Ocean Group. Since the mining war with the Ocean Group, they have been pressing forward step by step, using black and white forces to find ways to suppress us. From hotels, nightclubs, coal mines, wine making, real estate, whatever we do, they will follow closely behind, and the competition will only use all kinds of despicable means to make things difficult, we blindly tolerate it, but they have to make inches! ”

Brother Xiong looked at me and turned his head to Zhao Junqing and said, "Brother Qing, let's fight with them, they are all one life, I don't believe they are nine-headed cats!" ”

Zhao Junqing looked at Guan Yu in the picture of the "Flooded Seventh Army" on the wall and said: "I'm not afraid of them, no matter how brave Guan Yu is, he flooded the Seventh Army, and in the end, he ended up in a different place." Force will not solve the fundamental problem. Now it's not as good as before, everyone is fighting for brains. ”

Gao Chuan said: "In this poisoned liquor incident, Li Wei, director of the Binhe Public Security Bureau, and Ma Hanyu, executive deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, abused their power to detain our people five times in the name of investigation and evidence collection. They were still unwilling, and Ma Hanyu began to send police to the headquarters of Junnan Group to talk to employees of various departments, nominally to investigate the poisoned alcohol incident, and no one knew what they wanted to do. Li Wei and the Ocean Group have always been close, the Ocean Liquor Industry is developing rapidly, and other local liquor companies have been squeezed down, and we suspect that this matter is manipulated by the Ocean Group! ”

I said, "You paid for the old man's funeral?" ”

Gao Chuan said: "Yes, Brother Qing said that after all, it was because of us that Uncle Shao's family became victims." ”

He took a sip of tea and asked me, "Do you believe us?" ”

I don't know how to answer. Uncle Shao's face, which was like ashes, appeared in front of him again, the wedding banquet turned into a funeral, and the white-haired people sent the black-haired people, which was tragic and conceivable.

Gao Chuan saw that I didn't speak and said: "As a friend, if you believe us, find an opportunity to report the situation to the Wang Bureau in private, and we welcome the normal investigation by the police, but now we ......"

I nodded silently.

Before leaving, I said, "Don't worry, I'll do my best." The truth will always come out. ”

Leaving the Sanguo Tea House, I went to the city bureau to find my aunt.

My aunt was sorting out the newspapers in the office, and when she saw me coming in, she nodded and said, "Where did the reporter station come from, this year the Public Security Bureau has added three more newspapers, just to let the media support our work, which can be regarded as pleasing you." The reported funds are enough to handle a few large cases. This invitation letter was sent by the Lucheng reporter station of "Today's Legal Daily", saying that it was going to hold a police fraternity meeting in the city's public security system, and the friendship fee was 3,000 yuan for each sub-bureau. I calculated that there are a total of 18 sub-bureaus in the city, which cost tens of thousands. What is the name of the resident reporter of this newspaper? ”

"Li Yuan!" I say.

"What kind of legal media is it, if he comes to the city's police station next time, it is estimated that the cost will be hundreds of thousands. I really want to laugh, when did the media start to govern the world, it was omnipotent. ”

My aunt's sideburns were gray, and her face was tired.

When she finished complaining, I described the incident at the Qingfeng Jade Distillery.

The old aunt shot coldly, and the murderous aura swept over instantly: "Li Wei reported to me, and he knows how to deal with it." As for Director Ma, he is now in charge of criminal investigation, and it is normal for him to send people to handle cases. Qingfeng Jade Distillery belongs to Junnan Group, and the police should go to the headquarters to investigate. ”

"But you can't abuse your power to harass a company." I say.

My aunt put down the newspaper folder, looked at me with her hands crossed, and said, "Everything must be evidenced, what evidence does Junnan Group have to show that Li Wei and them abused their power?" The police have investigated and collected evidence several times, which shows that the case was handled carefully, and if there is torture to extract confessions and torture into confessions, it is a violation of law and discipline. Mass supervision and complaints are welcome at any time, we have a discipline inspection committee and an inspector brigade! ”

I couldn't tell her, and left her office.

The sun was shining outside, but I felt that there were some lingering shadows in the bright weather, and a heavy haze was painted over the city, on everyone's faces and hearts.

The city is sick, and the people in the city are sick.

In the evening, I cooked several dishes to make Meng wake up and eat.

After dinner, I talked to Meng Xing about it. She said: "The matter is not to the end, don't jump to conclusions, the people of the Junnan Group just guess that the Ocean Group framed them, and there is no evidence." Human assumptions are not reliable. ”

"It's evidence again, everything needs evidence, is there anything that doesn't need evidence?" I said indignantly.

"The police have to talk about evidence, otherwise the world will be in chaos, and how can they do without evidence."

"What if the bad guy finishes the bad thing and leaves no evidence and gets away with it?" I said as I cleaned up the table.

"So we have to investigate and collect evidence, many unjust, false and wrongful cases are wronged because they don't pay attention to evidence." She put on her apron and walked to the kitchen.

"But some police officers just use the excuse to handle cases, abuse their power in the process of investigating and collecting evidence to retaliate!"

Meng Xing stood at the door of the kitchen, turned around and said, "After all, that is a minority, and most of the police are good." Look at me, isn't I just a good cop? She laughs.

Meng Xing smiled, I forgot everything, and couldn't help but go over and hug her.

After washing the dishes and going to the living room to watch TV, I talked about my aunt's distress, Meng Xing said angrily: "You reporters, the worst!" ”

Meng Xing was not angry easily, when he was angry, he was like a little girl who didn't get a birthday gift, her eyes were wide, her mouth was slightly upturned, trying to make herself look indignant, but the way she frowned and pouted made people laugh.

Meng Xing saw me laughing, angrily pounced on me and knocked me to the ground, I hugged her, the two fell on the sofa, Meng Xing pressed me, with a "hateful" look on his face, I kissed her and said, "You are not only a good policeman, but also a good girl!" ”

She blocked my mouth with her finger and said, "Don't talk sweetly, I, a policeman, have no money and hard work, and my life is always in danger." You say, what do you like about me, answer seriously. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "It all started when I was a kid." ”

Meng Xing's expression was disdainful: "Why did you start talking about it when you were a child again?" See how you make it up! ”

I continued: "I used to sing in kindergarten, and I picked up a penny on the side of the road and handed it to my police uncle. At that time, there was infinite admiration for the people's police. I think it's good to be a policeman, and the masses pick up the money and hand it over to them, and they are proud of it. Now I finally have a 'money bank'. I'm not afraid of danger, I just pray that the bullets will fly to my side, so that you will be safe for the rest of your life. ”

Meng Xing gagged my mouth with his hand and said, "Nonsense, don't talk nonsense." ”

I grabbed her hand and pulled her over to kiss her, she was lying on her back on the couch with her hair scattered under the couch and hanging down to the floor, and some fluttering on her cheeks, looking sexy and feminine. I leaned down and whispered in her ear, "You are my everything!" ”

Meng Xing stretched out in my arms, like a blooming summer flower, with a rich fragrance.
