In the pouring rain, Li Qing held Xiaochen in his arms, took out a knife, and confronted the police in despair.

"Let Gao Qiqiang come, I will release him, I will let him pay for my father's life!"

Li Xiang lowered his voice: "Notify the armed police for support." ”

Zhang Biao nodded: "It's been notified, on the way." ”

An Xin squeezed past the onlookers and rushed to the scene. An Xin looked at Li Qing and couldn't understand why this young man had become a demon in just two days. There was only madness left in Li Qing's eyes, he was still muttering to himself, and he couldn't communicate at all.

An Xin leaned over to Li Xiang and whispered, "I'll talk to him." I had dinner with him once. The young man is quite simple, he should have been stimulated by something. ”

Li Xiang turned his head to look at him: "I am from Mang Village. Li Qing has been abnormal since he was a child, and he has been killed every time he fights. He is a psychopath, killing people for nothing, and others killing him will pay for his life, so everyone dare not provoke him. I know him better than you do. As he spoke, he pulled out his own gun and stuffed it into An Xin's hand, "I'll stabilize his emotions, and if there is an emergency, you will shoot." ”

An Xin hesitated: "I...... Square peg. ”

"You are more suitable than me, we are fellow villagers after all, if I shoot, my father will not be able to be a man in this village."

An Xin gritted her teeth and nodded.

Li Xiang looked around: "You find a hidden and advantageous shooting position." He glanced at the platform across from him and said, "Wait until I give you a signal." As he spoke, he clenched his hands into fists and waved.

An Xin hesitated: "Isn't there any other plan?" ”

Zhang Biao suddenly shouted: "Team Li, there is a situation!" ”

The villagers in the surrounding villages and alleys became agitated, and Li Hongwei, Zhang Daqing, and Zhang Xiaoqing mixed in with the masses and fanned the flames.

Li Hongwei shouted: "Get out, police!" ”

Zhang Daqing shouted: "Killing people pays for their lives, it is justified!" ”

Zhang Xiaoqing shouted: "Li Qing, a hero! ”

There were two or three times more villagers than just now, and they could only allocate most of the police force to stop them, and the situation was very critical. But the villagers kept keeping a safe distance and just kept shouting. Li Qing was even more excited. A muck truck collapsed in the middle of the road, blocking the road into the village with dumped bricks and tiles. Two armed police vehicles were blocked outside the village, and heavily armed armed police were negotiating with the villagers.

Li Youtian leaned on the door of the village office, stretched out his hand to catch the rainwater falling from the eaves, straightened his waist, and looked leisurely.

At this time, Li Qing's mood was on the verge of collapse.

Li Xiang shouted: "Li Qing, take a good look at me!" Let's grow up together, even if you don't believe in the police, don't you believe me? ”

Li Xiang's angry shouts suppressed Li Qing, but Li Xiang knew that it would be more than auspicious to drag it down, so he put his hands behind his back and made a fist-shot signal.

The rain mixed with cold sweat made An Xin unable to open his eyes, and his right hand trembled more and more.

"Bang" - the gun went off.

Li Qingmei flicked in his heart and fell to the ground in a daze, the dagger in his hand slipping.

An Xin returned to reality in confusion, he looked at the gun in his hand, suddenly understood, turned around and looked back.

On the roof not far away, armed police snipers were prostrate, and the smoke from the muzzles of the guns seemed to have not yet dissipated.

The armed police observer let out a sigh: "The robber has been killed, and the hostages are safe." ”

Li Qing's body was motionless, and Xiaochen was carried away by Jiang Chao.

The villagers seemed to be watching a juggling, and they were ready to disperse. They seemed to have lost their memory, as if they weren't the ones who were yelling at the police, and someone had already started discussing what to eat for dinner.

An Xin walked out of the village with Xiaochen in her arms, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards Gao Qiqiang and Chen Shuting. Gao Qiqiang rushed up and held an umbrella on An Xin and his son's heads. Xiaochen jumped off An Xin and threw herself into Chen Shuting's arms crying.

Chen Shuting raised her head and said to An Xin: "Thank you!" Thank you! ”

An Xin was in a complicated mood and nodded slightly.

Gao Qiqiang still held an umbrella for An Xin and stretched out his hand to him, and the gratitude on his face was very sincere.

An Xin just stared at Gao Qiqiang without stretching out his hand.

Gao Qiqiang smiled bitterly: "Am I not worthy of shaking hands with you now?" ”

An Xin said expressionlessly: "Li Qing is dead. ”

Gao Qiqiang said: "Who? Suddenly it dawned on him, "Oh, kidnapper, he's lucky to be dead." ”

Xiaochen covered his ears and buried his head in Chen Shuting's arms.

Chen Shuting picked up Xiaochen and said, "I'll take him to the car first." ”

An Xin said: "For the time being, you can't go home yet, let's go to the bureau to make a record first." ”

Chen Shuting asked worriedly, "Is it okay to change the day?" The child was so frightened. ”

An Xin was a little embarrassed.

Gao Qiqiang said: "We will take the child to the hospital for a check-up first, and if there is no problem, we will take him over immediately." ”

Li Xiang came over and said, "Okay, let's send a car and go with you." ”

Gao Qiqiang's family of three sat in the back row, and the couple held one of Xiaochen's hands.

Gao Qiqiang said: "Son, dad asked you, how many people kidnapped you?" ”

Xiaochen shook his head: "I can't remember. They put a net on me and a towel over my face, and I don't remember anything. ”

Gao Qiqiang nodded and said, "Okay, remember Dad's words, there is only one person who kidnaps you." Later, when I got to the public security bureau and the policeman, my uncle said so. ”

Xiaochen nodded as if he didn't understand, and looked at his mother again.

Chen Shuting touched Xiaochen: "Listen to Dad." He coughed again and said to Lu Tao, the driver in front, "Xiao Lu, drive for the boss, and the words you hear will be the wind in your ears." ”

Lu Tao said calmly: "I didn't hear anything. ”

In the office of the criminal police team, there is a stack of boxed lunches on the table, and the policemen of the special task force each hold a copy and work while eating.

An Xin walked into the office, threw the paper on which she made the transcript on the table, took a boxed lunch and said, "Li Qing stunned Gao Xiaochen with a towel stained with ether, and the child can't remember what happened after getting in the car." But it was very certain that Li Qing was the only one in the car. ”

Jiang Chao said: "Isn't this a good thing? The facts of the case are much simpler. ”

An Xin shook her head: "But Li Qing doesn't have a driver's license." ”

"Just because you don't have a license doesn't mean you can't drive." Jiang Chao said.

An Xin wanted to refute, but held back. "We'll know when Li Xiang comes back."

As he was talking, Li Xiang came back, very depressed.

An Xin asked, "Did you get it?" ”

Li Xiang shook his head: "No." The camera at the entrance of the village is fine, but the hard drive on which the video is stored is gone. ”

An Xin analyzed: "Being a thief proves my guess - someone assisted Li Qing in kidnapping Gao Xiaochen, and even coerced him to commit a crime. ”

"I agree with your judgment. Looking at today's situation, I don't believe that no one is planning and instigating. Li Xiang answered.

Shi Wei shouted: "Brother An, captain, come and see this!" ”

Shi Wei said while looking at the computer: "There is an article on the Internet that says that Gao Qiqiang is the Jinghai underworld, and Li Qing was forced to commit a crime by him when he was cornered. said that we killed Li Qing and arrested the villagers of Mang Village, we were supporting Gao Qiqiang and acting as an umbrella for the underworld forces! ”

When An Xin and the others heard this, they immediately surrounded them. "I'll see!"

There are many pictures in the article that are not favorable to the police: physical contact between police when they intercept villagers, armed police suppressing and detaining troublesome villagers, and police carrying body bags. Finally, there are several panoramic photos from a distance, and after zooming in on the photos, you can vaguely recognize An Xin's emotional shouting at the villagers and Gao Qiqiang's umbrella for An Xin.

Jiang Chao pointed to the photo: "Isn't this Brother An?!" When I zoom in, this expression is really scary. ”

An Xin said half-jokingly: "It has been reposted more than 100,000 times, commented on 200,000 comments, and has more than one million views, which is enough to pursue criminal responsibility." Come, see who is the person who wrote the article? ”

The mouse scrolls and the article slides to the top.

An Xin was stunned.

Below the title in bold is written - Author: Meng Yu.

At this time, in the Meng family, Meng Yu's mother, Aunt Cui, was so shocked in front of the computer that she shouted Meng Yu: "This is the report you wrote?!" What do your newspapers in Beijing do with Jinghai? ”

"It's the age of the Internet, and the regionality is not so strong anymore! Moreover, as a journalist, you should expose the darkness of society and expose the injustices in society! The most respected in our industry is the unannounced reporter, what black brick kiln, bloody land acquisition, securities black market, many big cases are because of the secret reporter to reveal the truth! ”

Aunt Cui thought for a while and said, "Then you took all these photos?" Isn't that right? It says June 16th, isn't it your Uncle Zhou's birthday? Let's go to his house together for his birthday, where do you have the time to take pictures? ”

"As long as the truth is restored, who do you care who filmed it?"

Aunt Cui read out the following comment: "The identity of the police was 'doxxed'...... Jinghai City Public Security Bureau An Xin? ”

Meng Yu was startled, and also saw the comments, so he hurriedly enlarged the picture, and then saw An Xin's outline.

Aunt Cui hurriedly said: "Oh, didn't you hurt An Xin?" I haven't seen you for several years, and I've just come back to cause trouble! ”

"How did I know it was him? If he really did that, how can I say that I hurt him? ”

At this time, Meng Yu's mobile phone rang, and she picked up the phone weakly: "Hey, hello, who is it?" ”

"It's me, An Xin."

"Officer An, what's the matter?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, come out and sit?"

"Today...... No, there is an appointment. ”

"And what about tomorrow?" An Xin asked.

"It's also arranged."

An Xin was silent for a while and asked, "Then when are you free?" ”

"Well...... I don't know, I'm busy right now, I'll get back to it. After speaking, Meng Yu hurriedly hung up the phone.

Outside the Public Security Bureau, Li Hongwei, Zhang Daqing, and Zhang Xiaoqing, brothers and a group of villagers from Mang Village, held portraits of Li Qing's father and son, pulled banners, and shouted slogans.

Li Hongwei raised his arms and shouted: "Clear the underworld, arrest Gao Qiqiang, and thoroughly investigate the protective umbrella!" ”

Watching the lively crowd block the surrounding roads, the TV reporter is filming.

In the office of the chairman of Jinghai Construction Engineering Group, the tea case was overturned, and the teapot and tea bowl were shattered. Cheng Cheng cleaned up unhurriedly and picked up the debris on the ground. Gao Qiqiang looked at the angry Uncle Tai in front of him, a little overwhelmed.

Uncle Tai roared: "Look at it, what does the outside say about you?" Say that you are the leader of the underworld, and our construction engineering group is a den of thieves! I don't have time for you, public opinion must be controlled. You hand it over, and hand over the project to Cheng Cheng in advance. ”

Cheng Cheng took another cup of tea and handed it to Gao Qiqiang: "Manager Gao, please teach me more in business." ”

In the office of the director of the Public Security Bureau, An Xin's eyes widened, looked at Guo Wenjie, and asked incredulously: "Remove me?" ”

"Just to remove you from the position of task force leader for the time being. Pulling it out to avoid the limelight is also protecting you. ”

An Xin said in a deep voice: "That...... Who is the team leader? ”

"Li Xiang, he is from Mang Village, send him at this time to calm down the social mood." Guo Wenjie said.

"Isn't this tantamount to being coerced by public opinion?"

Guo Wenjie glared: "Abide by the rules, know how to advance and retreat, there is no problem." Besides, you also have new tasks, which are very important. ”

An Xin was skeptical: "What task?" ”

Guo Wenjie coughed lightly: "You go to see that reporter Meng Yu, solve the misunderstanding, and eliminate the social impact as soon as possible." Don't think it's a trivial matter, the trust of the masses has been lost, how can you still carry out your work? ”

An Xin looked dazed and helpless.
