Chapter 22 Commendation Conference

In the office of the deputy mayor of the municipal government, Zhao Lidong finished signing, put down the pen, and stretched. He was very satisfied with his previous job. An Xin, a little policeman, is now roasted on a fire, and everyone's bonuses have been canceled because of his loss of guns and unauthorized actions, but An Xin has to be honored as a personal hero. This trick of provoking the masses to fight the masses is Zhao Lidong's basic operation, but it has been tried and tested again and again. Zhao Lidong got up and took out a copy of "Zizhi Tongjian" from the bookshelf. In the hollowed-out and missing part of the book lies a Cartier diamond watch. Zhao Lidong put on the diamond watch and looked at it with satisfaction. He had just promised Xu Jiang, who had become a lost dog, to send him out of Jinghai at the commendation conference, and there were the least policemen on the road at that time, but he still needed to think about where to send Xu Jiang......

Late at night, in an unknown public phone booth, Xu Jiang shivered from the cold and dialed the phone.

"Uncle Tai, it's me. How many years have we known each other? ”

There was silence on the phone for a while, and a voice came out: "It's been almost thirty years. ”

Xu Jiang said in a deep voice: "I ask you to do one thing with my thirty years of friendship, okay?" ”

"You say, but I don't necessarily say yes."

"I know that Guo Zhen's address was given to the Gao family brothers by you. I don't mean anything else, I just want you to come up with an excuse to trick them out and let me settle with them. ”

Uncle Tai on the phone sighed: "Xu Jiang, you know that I don't have children, and I'm an old family." I've always treated you as a son, but you don't look down on me as an old man, and it hurts my heart. I don't have a relationship with the surname Gao, so I can help with this. But after you have deceived them, you will each have to do what you can! ”

Xu Jiang hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "At ten o'clock in the morning on Friday, I was still in the old steel factory. ”

On the table on the rostrum of the city hall is a slip of name plates, all of which are the names of the leaders of the municipal party committee. A banner of "Commendation Conference" was hung on the stage. The seats under the stage are also labeled with name plates, and these seats belong to the big leaders of the city bureau and sub-bureau, Meng Dehai and An Changlin are impressively listed. The back row is almost full, and everyone is dressed in crisp police uniforms. The leaders of the first three rows are still entering one after another.

An Xin also changed into a police uniform, stood behind the side scenes, and looked at the audience excitedly.

Li Xiang ran over excitedly and patted him: "Are you looking for me?" ”

An Xin pointed to the audience: "There are a lot of people here today. ”

"In addition to a few units at the municipal level, the following districts and counties have also been notified, and many units have sent representatives."

An Xin shook her head: "What do you think, why did Zhao Lidong hold such a commendation conference?" ”

Li Xiang asked tentatively, "Isn't it fun to find you?" ”

"He doesn't necessarily take me seriously, but just as an excuse to cover him to solve the real problem."

Li Xiang suddenly said: "Xu Jiang? ”

An Xin hurriedly asked: "Are all the people from the '2.1' task force here?" ”

Li Xiang nodded.

An Xin continued: "In other words, the people who reported to Xu Jiang before were among these people. ”

Li Xiang looked at An Xin and asked, "You mean, Zhao Lidong will take advantage of today to send this person to send Xu Jiang out of the city?" ”

An Xin hesitated and said, "I'm not sure, maybe it's out of the city, maybe it's to kill the mouth." In short, the person who left the venue early today is likely to be an internal ghost. ”

In the PHS store, Gao Qiqiang answered Uncle Tai's call.

"Xiao Gao, are you free now? Chen Shuting has something for me to pass on to your brothers. ”

Gao Qiqiang glanced at his busy brother: "Okay, I'll come over now." ”

Uncle Tai then said, "At ten o'clock, the old steel factory, call your brother." ”

Gao Qiqiang was stunned, and the other side had already hung up the phone.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Gao Qisheng walked over and asked.

Gao Qiqiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Little thing, I'll go out and come back at noon, and wait for me to eat together." After saying that, he hurriedly left the store.

Gao Qisheng looked at Gao Qiqiang's back and frowned slightly.

Outside the auditorium of the municipal party committee compound, Li Xiang sat in a taxi, staring at the door of the municipal party committee compound across the road. At this moment, a police car drove out of the courtyard.

Li Xiang patted the driver: "Master, keep up with the police car in front, don't follow too closely." ”

The driver kicked the accelerator to keep up.

Li Xiang held his mobile phone, lowered his voice and said to An Xin on the other side of the phone: "Your judgment may be right, I am tracking a police car of our bureau, it did not return to the city bureau after leaving the auditorium, and is now driving to the outskirts of the city." ”

In the city hall at this time, Zhao Lidong was talking eloquently on the stage.

"The stable development environment of Jinghai is inseparable from the efforts and dedication of front-line police officers and ......"

On the side stage, An Xin covered the microphone and whispered: "Can you see the people in the car?" ”

Li Xiang's voice came into his ears: "I can't see it." What about you, can you tell who's not in the seat? ”

An Xin looked at the audience, and the audience was almost full. But there are two empty seats for the leaders in the front row, and the names on the back of the chairs are Meng Dehai and An Changlin.

An Xin said with some hesitation: "I can't see anything for the time being, let's keep in touch." ”

Gao Qiqiang slowly walked into the scrap steel plant, surrounded by barren grass and ruins. He looked around, and then shouted, "Uncle Tai, Uncle Tai, I'm here!" ”

Xu Jiang came out from behind a broken wall. "Uncle Tai is not here, only your grandfather and me."

Gao Qiqiang was taken aback, but quickly calmed down. "You asked me to come?"

Xu Jiang tilted his head and looked at Gao Qiqiang: "Jinghai can't stay anymore, before leaving, we still have grievances to solve." ”

"There are wanted warrants for you everywhere, where can you go?"

Xu Jiang smiled: "Then don't bother you, I have a way." After so many years in Jinghai, I have spent money to fatten so many people, isn't it used at this time? ”

"Aren't you afraid that they will kill you?"

"You're still worried about yourself."

Gao Qiqiang shook his head: "Let's go one-on-one, you may not be my opponent, what is there to worry about?" ”

Xu Jiang took out the sawn-out five-shot homemade gun: "What about now?" ”

The police car drove off the road and through the grass to a broken wall in the scrap steel plant.

Taxis are parked far away from the side of the road to avoid being spotted by people in police cars. Li Xiang stared at the police car in the taxi.

The door opened, and a figure in a police uniform got out of the car.

Li Xiang's eyes widened instantly, his breathing was short, and he couldn't believe what he was seeing......

In the city hall, An Xin was still standing behind the side curtain and looking down carefully, An Changlin bowed and walked to his seat.

An Xin let out a sigh of relief, and then set her eyes on Meng Dehai's position.

Zhao Lidong is still talking. And the answer to the inner ghost seems to have been found.

An Xin dialed the phone: "Hey, do you see who it is?" ”

After a while, Li Xiang spoke, and his voice was weak: "I'm sorry, I lost it." ”

An Xin hurriedly said, "How is it possible? Are you hiding it from me...... Isn't it the Meng Bureau? You say! ”

Li Xiang didn't respond and hung up the phone.

Zhao Lidong eased his tone a little, and said excitedly: "Next, I would like to invite the protagonist of this commendation conference, An Xin of the Criminal Police Detachment of the Jinghai City Public Security Bureau, to come to the stage to receive the award!" ”

The audience burst into applause.

An Xin put her mobile phone into her chest in a panic and walked onto the stage.

The light overhead was too bright, which stimulated An Xin a little dazzled.

The seniors and colleagues in the audience were still applauding warmly.

An Xin tried to squint her eyes, but she couldn't see the face below.

Meng Dehai's position remains vacant.

An Xin squinted his eyes and saw an elderly man in a police uniform slowly walking in front of him - Meng Dehai.

An Xin said with a look of surprise: "Meng Bureau? ”

Meng Dehai held the certificate in his hand and said with a smile: "Why, I can't give you an award?" ”

An Xin hurriedly said: "I said before that it was Team Cao who was in charge of awarding the awards...... An Xin's eyes widened.

Meng Dehai smiled and said: "He has something at home, so go back first." ”

An Xin's brain "buzzed" and seemed to explode. And at this moment, he also seemed to understand why Li Xiang said that he had lost it.

Xu Jiang and Gao Qiqiang were confronting each other in the abandoned factory, Xu Jiang suddenly raised the muzzle of his gun and looked into the distance with a relaxed expression.

"Just in time, kill him for me."

Gao Qiqiang glanced back suspiciously, and saw Cao Chuang striding over with a gun in a murderous manner, and was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

Gao Qiqiang squinted at Cao Chuang: "Is that the letter you sent to Xujiang Ventilation?" ”

Cao Chuang seemed to have been poked in the sore spot, and immediately pointed his gun at Gao Qiqiang.

Xu Jiang said: "That's right, it was him, Deputy Mayor Zhao who introduced him." Team Cao, hurry up and kill him, otherwise how to explain to the leader? ”

Cao Chuang shouted angrily at Xu Jiang: "Shut up! ”

Gao Qiqiang instantly understood. "Captain Cao, you're not here to kill me, you're here to solve Xu Jiang, right? He's a problem for all of you, and killing him is the only way to give an account to the above, right? ”

Xu Jiang also realized that something was wrong with Cao Chuang, and he didn't know whether to point the gun at Gao Qiqiang or Cao Chuang.

Cao Chuang's face grew murderous, and he realized that both of them had to be eliminated.

The three of them confronted each other.

An Xin, who was in the city hall, stood blankly with a certificate in his hand.

Zhao Lidong smiled and asked An Xin to say a few words.

An Xin walked to the microphone, her brain in chaos. He put his hand into his arms and pressed Li Xiang's number.

Li Xiang walked back along the road in despair, his phone ringing all the time.

He picked up his phone and showed that the caller was An Xin.

He hesitated, and finally pressed the answer, and An Xin's voice came from inside, as if it was for him and for everyone.

An Xin said slowly into the microphone: "What I want to say is - choice." There will always be countless choices in human life that will determine our future path. Someone asked me, is it stupid to be injured to save a suspect? I think that when I reached out and grabbed him, I actually gave him another chance to choose his life. He can choose to correct his mistakes and be a good person again. Then, my efforts are worth it. In this life, we may make many mistakes, but we always have the right to choose again. The point is, reach out and hold him before he is completely depraved! ”

The audience was silent for a moment, and applause rang out.

An Xin stared at her chest, as if she could hear her own heartbeat and Li Xiang's gasp.

Finally, Li Xiang's voice came from his chest. An Xin leaned her chest close to the microphone so that everyone present could hear it.

"The Lizhuang section of National Highway 302, inside the old steel plant, found a suspect."

The people in the audience were stunned. Zhao Lidong and Meng Dehai on the stage were also stunned.

An Xin looked serious, turned around and saluted Meng Dehai solemnly: "Report, the '2.1' task force has found important clues and requested that the police be dispatched immediately!" ”

Meng Dehai suddenly realized who An Xin's previous words were for, and snatched the microphone.

"All members of the '2.1' task force, listen to my command and set off immediately!"

Zhao Lidong sat in the back, his face pale.
