Candle Spike: Preface
"Dead? How can it be? Lin Shu, who put down the phone, sat at the desk, and the loss climbed between his eyebrows, and the clues that he had been chasing for many years had just found a little sign and dissipated like smoke and dust in front of him.
Since returning from Linjiang City three days ago, Lin Shu has called Lei Hao several times a day to ask for Peng Hu's information, but what he is waiting for today is not the news of Peng Hu's arrest, but the news that Peng Hu died accidentally while evading the pursuit of the police.
Everyone in the forensic department, you look at me, I look at you, but no one knows how to comfort Lin Shu.
Liang Jianqiang, who suddenly remembered something, suddenly said: "In addition to our daily work, our police station occasionally goes out to promote legal knowledge and security awareness, this time I went to the orphanage in Anze Village, Xiaolin, do you want to go for a walk?" ”
After waiting for a while, Lin Shu still didn't react, so Zhou Yinglin next to him patted him lightly and whispered to him: "Director Liang called you, say it quickly." ”
"Okay." Lin Shu was like a student who slept in class and was suddenly named by the teacher, subconsciously replied with a good word, and then looked at everyone with a confused face.
"Then tomorrow it will be Xiao Lin and Xiao Zhou to go, so it will be decided." After receiving Lin Shu's affirmation, Liang Jianqiang immediately decided to go out of the forensic department to publicize.
"Hey, why am I again!" Zhou Yinglin immediately complained.
"Whoever made the forensic department have the best relationship with Xiao Linzi." Li Huijuan covered her mouth next door and snickered.
A day later, Lin Shu, who was tired of running, sat on the lawn, watching Xu Rong and Zhang Dong not far away with a group of children playing eagles and catching chickens, and the corners of their mouths unconsciously rose slightly.
"Sure enough, a child's smile is an elixir that heals all things in the world." Zhou Yinglin, who wiped a fine sweat, walked over.
"Who said that?"
Zhou Yinglin, who was leaning against the tree, pointed at herself with a delicate finger, "Haven't you heard the wise words of the famous anatomist Brother Hard?" ”
"Brother Xiaolin, Sister Xiaozhou, Uncle Xu said that you are doctors, are you?" A kid with a white-washed shirt tucked in his shorts ran up to him and asked.
Zhou Yinglin had a vague smile on her face, looked at Lin Shu and asked with some uncertainty, "Are we doctors?" ”
Lin Shu looked at Zhou Yinglin, then at the child's expectant eyes, and smiled, "Of course we are doctors, but the division of labor is different, they help the living, and we comfort the dead." What's your name, kid? ”
"My name is Li Wei, I just turned 12 years old this year, and many of my younger brothers and sisters in the Star Orphanage are not in good health, so I want to become a doctor like my brothers and sisters in the future and cure them." The child told his dream word by word in a childish voice.
Looking at the child in front of them, the hearts of the two people seemed to be filled with something, and the whole person was warm.
Zhou Yinglin touched Li Wei's head, "Then you have to study hard and be obedient, do you know?" ”
"Hmm." The boy nodded.
"Let's go play." Looking at Lin Shu, who returned to the children's team, he couldn't help but sigh: "Seeing them is like seeing me in the orphanage, I miss it so much." ”
"Isn't your cousin the director of the city bureau Riemann? Why do you stay in an orphanage? Ning Xiaoxiao's voice came from behind him.
Ning Xiaoxiao trotted over, handed the two of them a bottle of water, and sat next to Lin Shu with a melon-eating face.
"How did you know, Uncle Rong told you?"
"No, no, I overheard you guys chatting in the office before, and I overheard it just now, definitely not eavesdropping."
Looking at Ning Xiaoxiao's sincere expression, Lin Shu couldn't cry or laugh a little, and then slowly said his life experience: "Since my parents passed away, I have lived in an orphanage without relatives. As for my cousin, her grandmother and my grandmother's mother are cousins, so my mother is not related to her at all, let alone me. I met my grandmother when I was 18 years old when I was admitted to a medical university, and she took me in after hearing about my background from the people in the village. ”
Ning Xiaoxiao also knew that the death of her parents had always had a great impact on Lin Shu, so she hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I mentioned your sadness. ”
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with orphanages, at least the orphanages I have stayed in are very warm." Lin Shu smiled, the sunlight shining on his curled eyelashes, emitting some shimmering gold.
After playing until the sun went down, a few people took the group of children back to the Star Orphanage.
A kind old woman was already standing in front of the courtyard gate waiting for them, "Thank you for coming today, the children are very happy, thank you so much." ”
This old woman who always speaks with a smile is called Gao Mei, she is a well-known good person in the high-tech zone, after retiring from the health school, she spent her life savings to create the Star Orphanage, no matter what age she has any seriously ill children, she is not willing to give up, but fortunately there are more and more well-wishers now, so that dozens of children in her orphanage can continue to live happily.
On the way back, looking at Xu Rong, who was reluctant, Zhang Dong quipped: "Uncle Rong, you like children so much, do you want to adopt one too." ”
But who would have thought that Xu Rong really thought about it for a while, and then said helplessly: "I want to too, but since my wife died, there is no one at home, how can I take care of children as a policeman." ”
Nothing to say all the way.
After returning to the police station from the orphanage, Lin Shu seemed to have been cured, temporarily put aside Peng Hu's affairs, and gradually returned to normal.
"I've been so idle lately, I wish I could be so peaceful all the time." Lin Shu, who leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, drank the warm tea in his hand and said.
Zhou Yinglin on the side also smiled, and then sighed: "Yes, how good it is to be so peaceful all the time." ”
Since the Linjiang case, the two didn't want any more tragedies to happen from the bottom of their hearts, so they said goodnight to each other and returned to the dormitory.
The moon is like a silver platter, the sky is full of stars, the chaotic streets return to tranquility, and everyone is intoxicated by dreams.
The sound of a whistle siren accompanied by blue and red lightning swept through the night, and a tight mobile phone ringtone woke up Lin Shu in his sleep like a life-threatening magic sound.
"I'm Lin Shu." Lin Shu, who came to his senses in an instant, answered the phone.
"Okay, I'll wake her up right away and let's go. Where is the place of the crime? ”
"Anze Village?" Lin Shu was stunned for a moment after hearing the place of the crime, but he still reacted quickly, and after putting down the phone, he immediately ran to the next room and knocked on the door.
