The atmosphere was suddenly quiet.

Shen Yi stopped talking, and Li Qiang stopped talking.

Shen Yi curled up his whole body in the sofa, as if he was thinking about something, and there was a faint light in his eyes, as if he was missing, as if he was remembering.

It took a long time for him to finally speak, his voice low.

"My parents died early, except for leaving me a house and a sum of money, they didn't leave anything behind, and they didn't have any other relatives, it was Liu's father and Liu's mother who adopted me......"

Li Qiang looked at him and said nothing.

"Since elementary school, I have grown up with Qingqing and played together, and we are very good friends. When I was fourteen years old, I had some ignorance of feelings. So I secretly ...... Private subscription for life. ”

While reminiscing, Shen Yi laughed when it came to the interesting part.

His eyes showed nostalgia for the infinitely beautiful past.

He looked at Li Qiang: "Juvenile feelings, have you ever had them?"

Li Qiang replied very seriously: "Thirteen years old, a year earlier than you, I fell out of love a week later and cried a lot." Later, he also learned to drink to relieve his sorrows and had a fight. When I went back, I was beaten up by my dad. ”

Shen Yi laughed again, and he gave Li Qiang a thumbs up.

Then he continued to say in a deep voice: "Daddy Liu has always taken care of me, knowing that we were ignorant at that time, but we had a good relationship, and I didn't object to us being together. I was two years older than Qingqing, and I was admitted to Peking University when I was 18 years old, and I needed a lot of tuition. It was Liu's father and Liu's mother who helped me out. But I didn't expect that not long after I went to school, Qingqing had an accident. ”

"That case......" Li Qiang was about to say something, but Shen Yi had already waved his hand to stop him. He looked at Li Qiang very seriously: "You are a policeman, you know the law." So you tell me, rape, injury to death, how to judge?"

Li Qiang sighed: "Ordinary rape cases have been around for three years. Two or more (round) rapes, from 10 years. Where serious injury or death is caused to the victim, or other serious consequences are caused, it is to be punished as the crime of intentional homicide. ”

"And how did they judge?"

"Common rape...... Three years. ”

"Actually imprisoned for two years and two months, three people, three prisons with good performance, the same day in, the same day out. The days in prison were as nourishing as they were outside. Shen Yi said.

"Shen Yi. Li Qiang moved forward and approached Shen Yi: "Listen to me, we all know that there are always some bastards in this world who are not very good at talking and tarnish their duties, but you can't ...... for such reasons."

Shen Yi unceremoniously interrupted Li Qiang: "Daddy Liu and Mom Liu have appealed three times, do you know what the result is?"

Li Qiang, they don't know about this.

Shen Yi said: "All three appeals were rejected. Liu's father no longer trusted the local government and decided to go to the capital to petition. His leg was broken, death threats were made, and his house was burned. Liu's mother took care of Liu's father every day, crying to death, and almost had a stroke, but her body and bones were not as good as before. But even in their hardest days, they never interrupted my tuition. ”

Li Qiang's sluggish expression was like a weathered stone sculpture, and he couldn't say a word.

Shen Yi's expression was always calm, but Li Qiang could feel the deep anger and hatred in his heart.

"There are a lot of people involved in this case, but no one is fair," he said slowly. ”

Li Qiang sighed.

Shen Yi leaned back on the sofa and spread his hands: "You see, I don't want to oppose the country, nor do I want to oppose the society, I can even believe that the country will get better and better, and this phenomenon will become less and less, but that doesn't mean that we have to endure those bad phenomena now." The future may be beautiful, but the present is not good, and someone needs to fight it. Since there are some things that I can't rely on others, then I will simply solve them myself. ”

Li Qiang froze.

After a while, he said, "I don't think I need to tell you what the consequences of this are, do I?"

Shen Yi replied coldly: "Dad Liu told me since I was a child that being a man must be responsible, and every thing you do must first consider the consequences. What he meant was to advise me to be cautious and not impulsive. But in my opinion, the opposite of this sentence is: as long as I have the consciousness to bear the consequences, then I can do whatever I want...... That's the biggest difference between me and those bastards. ”

And so it was.

Li Qiang couldn't say anything more.

Speaking of this, Shen Yi smiled: "I have investigated you, and I know that you are a good policeman." ”

Li Qiang was stunned.

He saw Shen Yi hooking his finger at him and said, "You come with me." ”

He walked towards the bedroom.

I grabbed a voice recorder and threw it on the bed. Pointing at Li Qiang, Shen Yi said to Zhou Ze's parents: "This is Li Qiang, the captain of the criminal investigation team, he is here to save you." But you can see that he can't save you now. Without my consent, this place is a powder keg, and anyone who dares to come in will die. I give you one last chance, and I know you've worked hard to save your son. Now, tell Captain Li what you did at the beginning, and explain all the people involved. By the way, I already know whether you say it or not, but this Captain Li doesn't know. ”

With that, Shen Yi turned around and went out, walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and asked Li Qiang, "What do you want to eat?"

"Huh?" Li Qiang was stunned.

Shen Yi said very seriously: "I'm hungry, and there are still some lobsters in the refrigerator." Would you like to try my braised prawns?"

Li Qiang nodded blankly, he watched Shen Yi walk into the kitchen, and then looked back at everything in the bedroom.

With his professional ability, he has absolute certainty that all the explosive leads will be removed in the shortest possible time.

And he was very skeptical that Shen Yi was making nitroglycerin as he said. Not to mention that those raw materials are controlled, even if he can get them, the instability of these nitroglycerin explosives does not meet the current needs of Shen Yi.

But for some reason, he didn't want to know the answer, let alone untie the lead.

He sat at the head of the bed, looked at Zhou Ze's parents, and said slowly: "Say, tell me about the things you did at the beginning." ”

Forty minutes later, Li Qiang knew everything.

During this time, the walkie-talkie rang twice, but Li Qiang was dismissed with a sentence of "still negotiating".

His heart was heavy, and he didn't know what to say.

Glancing at the parents and their precious son, he picked up the recorder and walked out of the bedroom.

Shen Yi was already eating lobster.

Seeing Li Qiang come out, he pointed to a bowl of lobster on the table: "The one prepared for you is not considered a bribe, right?"

Li Qiang sat in front of the bowl of lobster and looked at Shen Yi.

"It's all been recorded," he said. Those people...... They will be punished according to the law. Oh, and some you didn't find out. ”

"I know there are some people I can't find, but it doesn't matter, they'll say it anyway. Shen Yi's two hands were picking lobsters, and his hands were greasy.

"So you ......" Li Qiang suddenly realized: "You designed all this, you deliberately brought me over, and you want those you can't find to be caught?"

"The key is that you are personally involved in the process. It is important to know that evidence produced under conditions of coercion and intimidation usually has no legal effect. But with you as a witness, the nature is different. I can't do it too early against Zhou Zejia, that will cause you to find out early, so I can only take a compromise approach. Solve the part of the problem that you won't find out right away, and then you will help me solve the part that I can't solve on my own...... With so many people dead, this kind of thing should be impossible to cover. ”

"You've thought it through...... You also gave the file to Li Xiaoyue, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't have been such a coincidence. By the way, how did you get the files?"

Shen Yi smiled: "I graduated three years ago and entered a lean company. It just so happened that your public security bureau wanted to buy some precision instruments, which were taken from my company, and I was also out of the debugging and installation, so I spent a lot of effort in order to do this deal, and then I made a small fire and stole the file. As for Li Xiaoyue...... In fact, she didn't know who I was, I took the initiative to find her and said that I wanted to provide her with clues, and she was fooled, little girl, after all, it's easier to deceive, don't be embarrassed for her when you go back. ”

"You have been preparing for this day for three years......" Li Qiang couldn't believe it.

"It's seven years. Shen Yi corrected him: "From the day the sentence was announced, I began to make plans, do research, do investigations, I made friends with the police, took your way of handling cases, studied the target people, designed action plans, and even in order to ensure the effectiveness of the action and accumulate criminal experience in burglary, I stole the TV remote controls of eleven families, robbed the account books of six stores, and seriously intimidated them...... So I planned and prepared for seven years. ”

Li Qiang couldn't say a word.

He looked at Shen Yi helplessly, and when it was Shen Yi, he burst out laughing.

He pointed to the lobster and looked at Li Qiang and asked, "You really don't eat it?" The lobster I made is delicious. ”

Li Qiang shook his head.

"It's a pity, Qingqing likes to eat the red braised prawns I roasted. Shen Yi shook his head and sighed.

There was a faint longing in his eyes again.

And also...... A line of grief.

After eating the last lobster, he walked into the bedroom.

Li Qiang seemed to realize what was about to happen, he turned around and shouted, "Shen Yi!

"Bang!"

Gunshots.

Then there were four more gunshots, and there was a pig-killing cry from inside.

Shen Yi walked out with a gun.

He wiped the red oil on his mouth and said softly: "I killed Zhou Ze, as for his parents, his kneecaps were shattered, and it was impossible to stand up again." ”

Shen Yi's expression was always calm when he spoke.

He walked out the door.

Looking at Shen Yi's back, Li Qiang remembered one thing: if his memory is correct, these five bullets should be Shen Yi's last five bullets.

Standing at the door, Shen Yi said casually: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, those explosives are fake." But I think you guessed that, too. One thing I'm not lying about, that's ...... You are indeed a good cop. Thank you. ”

A satisfied smile spread across his face.

He had deliberately set aside a chance for Li Qiang to defuse the bomb, but Li Qiang did not do so.

With that, he strode out of the building.

Standing alone in the living room, Li Qiang closed his eyes.

He picks up a lobster and puts it in his mouth to savor it......

It tastes really good.

Outside the villa, Shen Yi raised his gun in front of a group of policemen.

Gunfire erupted.

―――――――――――

A year later.

Li Qiang came to the Lakeview Cemetery with flowers in his hand.

On the tombstone, Shen Yi's smile is still the same.

Next to the tombstone is Liu Qing's grave.

They could not be together during their lifetimes, and they were finally buried together after their deaths.

Putting the flowers in front of the grave, Li Qiang said: "Brother Shen Yi, although I always disapprove of your approach, I still wish you a resting place in heaven and be with Qingqing." ”

He saluted the tombstone.

As he turned to walk away, he saw an old couple not far away.

The man is in a wheelchair and the woman is pushing a wheelchair.

Li Qiang's heart moved slightly, and he stepped forward: "May I ask you are Liu Qing's parents, right?"

The old couple nodded.

"Shen Yi is gone, your life ......"

The old man in the wheelchair replied: "Xiao Yi arranged everything before leaving, so we don't have to worry about the rest of our lives." If there's anything to worry about, it's the bastards who deserve it. ”

"They have been severely punished by the law. Li Qiang replied seriously.

"We already know that. The old woman sighed, "We also know that this is all your credit. I heard that you withstood a lot of pressure, and some people threatened to kill you. ”

Li Qiang smiled bitterly: "It is normal for a few big officials to fall off the horse, a few underworld people to be killed, and a few small fish that have slipped through the net want to vent." In any case, as a people's policeman, he should always be worthy of this police uniform. There are smeared bastards in this world, and there should also be heroes who add glory, I dare not say that I am a hero, at least I am worthy of this police uniform, worthy of my oath to join the party. ”

The old couple bowed to Li Qiang at the same time.

The old couple left, and Li Qiang walked on the trail alone.

Looking up at the blue sky, the dark clouds overhead are quietly drifting away......
