At the entrance of the city hall, a team of police cars roared out of the compound.

Li Xiang turned around, made up his mind, drew his gun in his hand, and ran towards the old steel factory.

In the steel plant, Gao Qiqiang, Cao Chuang, and Xu Jiang are still facing each other. But a gun slowly lifted up in the grass behind Xu Jiang, it was the simple homemade pistol made by Gao Qisheng.

The gun was aimed at Xu Jiang first, seemed to hesitate, and then aimed at Cao Chuang behind Gao Qiqiang.

Bang – the gun went off!

The power of the homemade pistol was not weak, and the steel ball shot into Cao Chuang's body, splashing a blood flower.

The tall Cao Chuang staggered and collapsed to the ground, and the gun slipped from his hand.

Xu Jiang was stunned and turned back to look for the gunman.

Gao Qiqiang pounced on Cao Chuang, picked up his pistol, and fired a shot at Xu Jiang.

Xu Jiang was hit in the shoulder and staggered and fell.

Lao Mo got up from his hiding place, stood in front of the dying Xu Jiang, and glared at him viciously.

Xu Jiang covered the wound with his hand and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Lao Mo glared at Xu Jiang: "Do you remember Huang Cuicui?" ”

Xu Jiang said in despair: "That bitch! She still wants to blackmail me, she deserves to die! ”

Lao Mo raised his gun in annoyance to fight, but Gao Qiqiang came over to stop him.

Xu Jiang hurriedly said: "I admit it!" But there is a question, did you kill my son? ”

Gao Qiqiang shook his head: "I said it, it was an accident." ”

Gao Qiqiang looked at Xu Jiang expressionlessly, and he stuffed Cao Chuang's gun into Lao Mo's hand.

"Use this one."

Lao Mo raised his hand and shot twice, completely ending the unwilling Xu Jiang.

Gao Qiqiang looked at Lao Mo and said, "Put your gun in his hand and take his gun away." ”

Lao Mo took out a handkerchief, wiped off his fingerprints from the homemade pistol, and stuffed it into Xu Jiang's hand.

Gao Qiqiang took Cao Chuang's gun, walked to Cao Chuang's side again, took out a handkerchief, wiped off his fingerprints on it, and looked at Cao Chuang, who was dying: "Your lungs are broken, and you can't be saved." After speaking, he placed the pistol in Cao Chuang's hand.

Lao Mo took Xu Jiang's five consecutive hairs in his hand and shouted at him: "Let's go, the police are coming!" ”

Gao Qiqiang responded and followed Lao Mo away.

Cao Chuang looked at their backs and picked up the pistol with difficulty, but the gun seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and could no longer be lifted.

When Li Xiang ran to the abandoned factory, Cao Chuang only had one breath left.

Li Xiang cried and hugged Cao Chuang: "Master! ”

Cao Chuang barely opened his eyes: "Rabbit cub ......"

Li Xiang hurriedly said: "You hold on, don't talk, I'll call an ambulance!" ”

Cao Chuang stopped his hand: "I don't want to go to jail. I have sinned and am not worthy to be your master. Zhao Lidong found me and promised to make me the deputy director. I'm over 50, not a few years......"

Li Xiang trembled and said, "Master, don't talk about it......"

Cao Chuang said in a low voice: "Boy, we are both from a poor and white background, no one to help us, if we want to find a future, we all rely on our own hard work!" ”

Li Xiang's tears rained down.

"Smoke ......"

Li Xiang took out a cigarette from the dying Cao Chuang's pocket and lit it for him.

Cao Chuang held it but couldn't suck it, gasping for a long time: "You came just in time!" found Xu Jiang and found out the inner ghost, and the size is also a credit. Master can't help you with anything else, so take me for a future. ”

Cao Chuang looked at Li Xiang and swallowed with a smile.

Li Xiang roared, "Master! ”

Behind him, sirens sounded.

It was rainy outside, and Li Xiang in the inspector team had a wooden expression.

"Master got clues about Xu Jiang through his special intelligence, but the information was not necessarily accurate, so he only told me alone. But I went a step too late, and Master unfortunately died while capturing Xu Jiang. ”

The inspector asked, "Why didn't you report to the bureau in advance?" ”

Li Xiang said expressionlessly: "This kind of special intelligence, eight out of ten are fake, and it was An Xin's commendation meeting that day, and the master didn't want to steal the limelight from him." ”

The inspector said: "Regarding this matter, An Xin's testimony is completely different from yours. ”

Li Xiang turned his head to look at the inspector: "I don't know what he said, but what I said is what I saw." ”

In the city bureau, Meng Dehai and An Changlin are listening to the forensic report.

"From the ballistic analysis, it is basically consistent with the situation where the two sides shot each other, and the corresponding shooting residues were also extracted from the fingers of Cao Team and Xu Jiang."

Meng Dehai frowned: "So, what Li Xiang said is true." ”

The medical examiner nodded: "At least it can't be proven that he is telling a lie." ”

Meng Dehai waved his hand: "Forget it, the above has been urging the case to be closed, if you can't find new evidence, you can only end it like this." ”

An Changlin sighed and did not speak.

In the office, Zhao Lidong asked Secretary Wang about the situation.

"Xiao Wang, how is Xu Jiang's case?"

"The police said they were still looking for new evidence."

Zhao Lidong said impatiently: "What new evidence are you looking for?" I have read all the case files, the evidence is sufficient and the logic is clear, and the case can be closed a long time ago. Are they dragging it like this, do they want to muddy the waters and shield someone? ”

"I'll rush again."

Zhao Lidong nodded: "What is the name of the young man who found the scene of Xu Jiang's death?" ”

Secretary Wang hesitated: "Li Xiang." ”

Zhao Lidong nodded and said, "The young man has a future." Cao Chuang is dead, is the position of the detachment leader vacant? ”

"However, he has very little experience."

"It's always okay to be an acting captain first, right? We need to give young people more opportunities. ”

"Understood."

Zhao Lidong continued: "Pay attention to the working methods, don't make it the same as the assignment, I think let them have internal democratic elections." ”

On this day, all members of the criminal police team dressed neatly and saluted collectively in front of Cao Chuang's tombstone.

Cao Chuang's wife stood in the line with her son.

Li Xiang took out a pack of cigarettes, lit them, placed them in front of the tombstone, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Master, I will never exchange your reputation for my future, you will always be my master." ”

An Xin separated the crowd, broke in from behind, and yelled, "Li Xiang! ”

Li Xiang looked back at An Xin.

An Xin questioned Li Xiang: "Why don't you tell the truth?" ”

Li Xiang was gloomy.

An Xin continued: "What exactly did you see in the old steel factory? Say it! ”

Li Xiang still didn't say a word.

An Xin roared: "Is your conscience acceptable? Are you worthy of your police uniform? ”

Li Xiang said angrily: "You just want to prove that you are right so much?!" ”

Li Xiang dragged An Xin to Cao Chuang's widow and son: "You say what you want to say in front of your master!" Master's reputation is not important, your An Xin's judgment is the most important! Say! ”

An Xin looked at the grief-stricken mother and son, choking, as if she had been drained of strength in an instant.

Zhang Biao hugged Cao Chuang's wife and said, "Master, let's go." ”

The members of the criminal police team left, and everyone cast disdainful glances at An Xin.

In the courtyard of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Meng Dehai and An Changlin got into the car and left the Jinghai Municipal Public Security Bureau according to the order.

The content of the appointment is: "After the study and decision of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Comrade Meng Dehai is appointed secretary of the Qinghua District Party Committee of Jinghai City, and he will no longer serve as the director of the Jinghai City Public Security Bureau. Comrade An Changlin was appointed director of the Bobei City Public Security Bureau and no longer held the post of deputy director of the Jinghai City Public Security Bureau......"

An Xin stood in the courtyard, looking at the direction of the car, and silently saluted them for the last time. An Xin knew that this time he was completely isolated.

On the construction site, the female prisoner who was released from prison at the same time as Lao Mo had already changed her clothes and was fighting with the security guard at the gate of the construction site.

"You let me in to see Uncle Tai."

The security guard waved his hand: "No, the boss is not for everyone to see." ”

The female prisoner said anxiously: "When he sees me, he can naturally recognize me." ”

The security guard pushed the female prisoner aside to make way of the way.

Chen Shuting, who was entangled by Gao Qiqiang, accepted his request and walked in with him.

On the construction site, Uncle Tai was wearing a hard hat and was visiting with his subordinates.

Chen Shuting brought Gao Qiqiang to Uncle Tai.

Uncle Tai looked at Gao Qiqiang coldly: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Gao Qiqiang took a few steps forward and suddenly knelt down in front of Uncle Tai.

"I heard that you don't have a son, and I lost my parents a long time ago. If you don't dislike it, I will be your godson, and I will provide for you in old age, and when you pass away, I will give you a pen. ”

Everyone was taken aback.

"You don't hate me?"

Gao Qiqiang said respectfully: "I know, you just want to try my skills. He is not capable and unworthy of being your son. ”

Uncle Tai laughed: "It's a great talent!" According to the rules, I should give you a big gift. Shuting, how long will it take for Xu Jiang's case to be closed? ”

Chen Shuting thought for a while: "The trial plus the property auction will take about half a year. ”

Uncle Tai nodded: "Okay!" Half a year later, I will buy his platinum han and give it to you. ”

Gao Qiqiang slammed his head on the ground: "Thank you, godfather!" ”

Uncle Tai stretched out his hand, stopped on Gao Qiqiang's shoulder for a moment, and finally landed on top of his head, like stroking a child.

The female prisoner watched all this from a distance through the security guards, her eyes full of jealousy.

An Xin, dressed in casual clothes, wandered the streets alone, her mobile phone ringing non-stop. An Xin didn't seem to hear it, just walked quietly.

In the public phone booth on campus, Meng Yu held the phone and couldn't cry: "An Xin, since I left Jinghai and returned to school, you haven't taken the initiative to contact me, no matter if I'm happy or sad, you're not by my side when I need you...... As I waited day by day, I gradually realized that I would never be your number one...... There is a senior brother in the school who is very good to me, at least he will be the first to be in front of me when I need it. I'm wondering if I'm going to make him like me, another person who can never wait for his beloved......"

Meng Yu's message was playing all the time in the mobile phone message box, and Meng Yu's every word hit An Xin's heart, and his pace became slower and slower. The message in the mailbox continued to play: "An Xin, if you are willing to come to me, I am still the Meng Yu who loves you; If you don't come, I guess I'll have to do someone else's only ......"

Meng Yu's message ended, followed by endless busy sounds.

An Xin's footsteps also stopped, and he walked to the intersection of choice.

Facing him, Gao Qiqiang, who was proud of the spring breeze, walked over.

The two men glanced at each other, but without saying hello, they passed by.

Fate had entangled, separated, and eventually, they drifted apart, never to turn back......
