Being-Towards-Death

Different from Xu Liwei, with Song Weibin's care, Fatty Zhang's salary soared, not only was he transferred to a single room, but he was also a small fry, every day was leisurely, and he lived a good life like a feeding ring; A few hours after the secret conversation, Liu Mian got first-hand definite information.

As the first deputy deeply trusted by Shi Guyuan, most of Shi Guyuan's channels for understanding the situation came from his reports; although Liu Mian was not sure whether Shi Guyuan had secretly trained other subordinates besides himself, this "first "It is enough for him to complete the analysis of interests in a short period of time.

Just like the reason why people are human, thoughts, emotions, senses, desires... many excuses make him not as completely obedient as a machine; after hanging up the phone at the detention center, Liu Mian fell into deep thought: Fatty Zhang said that there is evidence in hand, if the evidence is false It was Fatty Zhang's way of cooperating with the city bureau to defraud them on the condition that he was released from prison.

A confidant Zhao who was following him observed his expression and asked, "Mr. Liu, look at this matter, do you need to talk to Mr. Shi?"

Liu Mian waved his hand and said calmly: "Don't worry, Xiao Zhao, I remember that your hometown is Zhoushui, right? Well, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be here soon, and you will be given three days off to honor your parents when you go back. Those people are walking around. The company has brought another batch of wine, which is well packaged and looks good as a gift, don't forget to send it to the customs. "

Xiao Zhao complied, but did not correct Liu Mian's mistake - he is from the city, but he can be different if necessary.

......................................................

In the city bureau, the criminal police team sat in a circle, staring at the black leather notebook in the middle.

This is the most common business book that every company will use, but it has the connotation that can shake the world of Taoxian City.

The criminal police team has eight people and sixteen eyes, and the book will be completely covered. It seems that if one is not aware of it, it will grow three heads and six arms, and step on the hot wheel to ride the wind back.

Only Song Weibin broke away from the organization, turned his back to his teammates, and sat on another desk, holding a bowl, eating instant noodles while snoring.A team member turned to him and said, "Captain Song, is this the evidence found at Fatty Zhang's house?"

Song Weibin hid in the bowl and gave a muffled "hmm".

Qin Ming couldn't bear his listless appearance, so he became the first person to eat crabs; he dragged the book to him and opened it, asking, "Captain Song, have you read what's written in it?"

As soon as the words fell, the page of the book happened to open a crack, and Song Weibin's big hand pressed the evidence back to its original shape.Qin Ming raised his head in confusion, Song Weibin held the bottom of the instant noodle box, poured the last sip of soup, and said: "I have to tell you first, you can see the contents here, but I can't say it for now, and I can't tell you about it. I can't make any moves, I have to ask Dai Ju for instructions first, and then make a decision, understand?"

One team member said: "My God, what kind of evidence does this have to be? Our law enforcement officers have to be timid? Then why are we still investigating him?"

Before Song Weibin got angry, Qin Ming said: "Team Song has his own reasons for saying this. Instead of guessing, it's better to see what's in it. Maybe this vote is really a big fish."

The only female team member also said: "That's right, I told you a long time ago that for a big case, the higher-ups have the intentions of the higher-ups. It's easy for us to close the case next. It's a dilemma."

Song Weibin didn't like to hear this, so he asked them to quickly take photos of the content to obtain evidence; after the circulation, everyone seemed to have eaten a heavy weight, and their eight jaws smashed into the ground in shock.

Qin Ming took the lead in self-healing, summarizing and expressing his position: "Fatty Zhang told us that this is a relic left by his brother to save his life. If the situation is true, we should compare the contents of this book with his brother's position in the sky. It is the secret account of the Tengkong Group, and the bribe-taking officials involved in it are recorded in terms of tenure, starting from 90 to last year—that is, when Fatty Zhang and his brother died—this time period." He raised At the beginning, word by word, resoundingly, "Team Song is right. The number of people involved and the amount of funds involved are too huge. Some of them have even been promoted to provincial and ministerial level cadres. If the things in this are allowed to be seen again, it will be shaken." It’s not just a small Shiguyuan, but the political and economic structure of the entire province and city.”

After listening to Qin Ming's succinct explanation, the atmosphere in the Criminal Police Office's office solidified into hard cement. The interns who had never seen the world looked at each other in blank dismay, and one of them asked as if walking on eggshells: "Then what should we do now?"

Sixteen Eyes finally let go of Hei Piben and entangled Song Weibin relentlessly.

Song Weibin sternly said: "I'm not telling you guys, just hold back and keep your mouth shut, and wait until I've finished asking for instructions!"

.............................................

After sending Chi Xiaoyu off, the anxiety brought back from the prison spread out its tentacles again, wandering towards Zheng Zhichu's central nervous system; his stomach clenched tightly, and the signals released by the nerves were like sour yellow gastric juice, wrapped in a dirty rag soaked in water Continuous fermentation in medium, heavy and disgusting.

He didn't want to go back to the company, or go home, to face the place where Shi Guyuan's breath remained - when no one was around, he could frankly admit the trouble of lack of courage.But he had to do something, for example, let Xu Ping go through the entry procedures immediately according to Liu Mian's wishes; another example, he had to not only save Shi Guyuan's life, but also his freedom.

Zheng Zhichu parked his car on the side of the road, took out his mobile phone to call his cousin Yipeng who was far away in the capital, and got straight to the point: "Which country can you get a visa the fastest?"

Yi Peng has been ordered by him too much, exhausted physically and mentally, and numbly said: "What do you mean, you want to go abroad?"

"Why do you care so much? I'll ask you which country you can get the fastest!"

"China's."

"I'm not fucking kidding you!"

Yipeng said: "Come on, you, when will you go home, my aunt will ask you every day, it will be comfortable if you don't answer the phone, but I will suffer!"

Zheng Zhichu said confidently: "Who told you to be my brother? I'm fine here, and now I'm making decisions about big and small things about vacating. It's my father's property anyway, so I can't give it up to others. You Let my mother not worry about it."

"If you want me to say, while Shi Guyuan is still able to do it, you should hurry back and finish your university studies in the past two years; according to my aunt, you will go into an official career in the future. If you don’t have a number, I really don’t understand why you are so persistent.”

Zheng Zhichu snorted and said, "I'm not interested in being an official, but after listening to your two words, I think you are quite suitable. Don't worry, when will the visa be issued at the earliest?"

"Where are you going?"

"It's not that I'm going—hey, let me tell you this, you're not allowed to imitate your tongue, and neither can my grandfather!" Zheng Zhichu mulled for two seconds, and said with a face, "Something happened to Shi Guyuan, of course. , How serious it is, I don’t necessarily think so, I just want to take this opportunity to let him retire for the elderly. Do you understand? "

"I don't understand," Yipeng said, "It's still the same sentence, you have done a good job, you have to make trouble with him; okay, I beat you because you want to take the opportunity to get Shi Guyuan off his horse, so why should he listen to your arrangements?" Go abroad?"

"Why are you becoming more and more like a mother-in-law?" Zheng Zhichu said impatiently, "Will you help me? If you don't help me, go find someone else and die!"

"Eh--"

Yi Peng cursed "little bastard" at the lit screen, at this moment his aunt Niao Ting Ting came down from the stairs, directed the nanny to take the fruit plate to the tea table, and laughed before saying anything: "Peng Peng, when will your father come over? He is going to visit other places during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and tonight, let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival early. This is what your grandfather meant."

Yipeng stood up, took his aunt's hand and took him to the main seat of the sofa. After he sat down firmly, he looked at his watch and said, "Come on, I asked him, he said he just came out of the unit."

Yiqing nodded and said with a smile, "Who did you call just now?"

"Hey, who else is there, your precious son," Yipeng said, "Auntie, if you ask me, this kid is getting more and more out of tune, you have to take care of it. It's fine if you don't come back during the holidays, this time just Make an inch of it, let me get a visa for Shi Guyuan—"

"Shi Guyuan?" Yiqing lazily inserted a piece of cantaloupe into her mouth, "I remember that Xiao Chu didn't have a good impression of him, so why did he think of offering to help this time?"

"Who said he offered to help? He's broken!" Yipeng poured beans into the bamboo tube of his previous love, and did not forget to add oil and vinegar, and finally said, "...Auntie, I did my best. He won't come back, and I can't let this kid go. Bind it back, you, please be smart."

Yiqing smiled without saying a word, closed her eyes and meditated.

At her age, sex, love, and love tend to be indifferent. In her eyes, men are no different from women; but this indifference does not happen overnight. Every woman was once a girl, and she had dreams and fantasies. A fairy tale of the princess and the prince.It's just that she didn't pay attention, and didn't want to explore why there aren't princesses and princes everywhere in this world.

When Mengmeng walks on the edge of a cliff of despair, she has two choices: jump off the cliff and be smashed to pieces, or abandon Dreamland and face the reality of losing the soft light.

She is the eldest lady of the Yi family, her family is prominent, and her family is rich and famous. Even if she compromises, she will not pay the price of injury.So she cast the curse of "Tithonus" on herself: She wants to live, live through every dawn, even though she is old physically and mentally, she will never let go, and let Zheng Zhongtian get his wish.

Of course she knew Zheng Zhongtian's lace, among those men and women who came and went in a hurry, only Shi Guyuan stood firm for decades, retired after success, and even brought his sister to heaven.Fortunately, she has an ally, which is almost the only consolation in her curse: her son, her Xiaochu, who shares the same hatred with her, not only is not confused by Shi Guyuan's appearance, but also sees through Zheng Zhongtian's rotten essence.

But this time, she smelled something unusual in Yi Peng's narration.

In this world, who can understand her son better than a mother?

..........................................

In mid-to-late September, the long-awaited new secretary of the municipal party committee finally came out amidst the quiet and beautiful autumn leaves and the solemn autumn wind, and arrived in Taoxian, a typical northern city.

The new secretary of the municipal party committee was directly assigned by the central government to the local area, and the gangsters didn't know his connections, so they didn't dare to act rashly; on the contrary, the secretary was very lively, and the night before he took office, he called the city's prominent leaders to have a dinner at home to celebrate Moved, and the wife of the secretary is in charge of the cooking. In this way, no one is ashamed to say no.

After dinner, those who had work to do left one after another, and Zhang Luo played mahjong for the rest; the secretary also made a joke: "Small gambling, we don't gamble for money, so let's put stickers on our faces!"

Director Dai had a copy of the black book that Song Weibin gave him in the afternoon in his arms, sat on the right side of the secretary, and absently turned on the water.The seriousness of the criminal police can be seen by all the little policemen of the criminal police team, and he, as the director, is even more clear; he was angry that Song Weibin hid the original document on his own initiative; I dared to hand over the copy to you. How can I say that I don’t trust you? This thing is a bomb, and I’m afraid you will be in danger, so let’s hand it over to our criminal police team. There are so many people and strength, isn’t that what the criminal police do? .”

"Hey, Old Dai, what are you thinking? It's your turn."

Dai Ju came back to his senses, and turned over a card while drawing the cards; the secretary said like an old urchin: "If you turn it over, you can't buckle it back, it's just this one—haha. It's confused!"

The other three naturally had no objection; after the five rounds of cards passed, Dai Ju's face was already fluttering in the wind, making noises.The secretary teased him that "sticking out his tongue is Bai Wuchang", and said: "Bai Wuchang will get rich as soon as he sees it, and you want to get rich, Lao Dai!"

Ju Dai said with a smile: "I dare not take this seriously. We are public servants of the people, so we don't dare to get rich."

"Hey, I'm out of luck," the secretary said, "I said you're going to win it back, so there's no conflict."

Taking advantage of this topic, there was chatter at the card table for a while, until the secretary's wife invited everyone to eat fruit, and several people removed the notes on their faces and came to the living room; the secretary secretly lit a cigarette and was caught by his wife. He slapped and rushed to the balcony.

Bureau Dai followed him at the right time. When the secretary saw him, he held a cigarette and said with a smile: "My mother-in-law has a lot of things to do, and she has to chatter for a long time about smoking a cigarette—how about one?"

Director Dai was so smoked that he spit out gray smoke, and the secretary looked at the lights of thousands of houses outside the balcony; after a long while, he said, "Recently, the media in Taoxian City are very happy, I wonder if you have heard of it?"

"Oh why?"

Bureau Dai said: "As you know, Tengkong Group is a leading enterprise in our city, but recently their boss has been in a bit of trouble, involving some... unruly behavior, that group of media, it's like a hungry dog ​​smelling a bone, Staring at Tengkong all day long."

"Oh, I've heard about it. Regarding the case of Xu Liwei's retraction of his confession, I have issued clear instructions." The secretary said seriously, "Our work must be based on the principle of seeking truth from facts and correcting mistakes. Mistakes at work must be corrected in time, and the innocent people will be cleared, and the people of Taoxian City will be given an explanation."

Dai Ju smiled and said, "Of course, but..."

"but what?"

"Tengkong Group can be regarded as the economic pillar of the tertiary industry in our city. If the incident is too big, I'm afraid it will affect the image of the government."

The secretary said, "Did you find anything?"

"I'm about to ask you for instructions. Some of our systems were not very sound before. Who didn't take advantage of the loopholes in the early batch of private enterprises? I'm afraid that after the vacant rectification, people will interpret it as killing chickens to scare monkeys and make people want to come to our city to invest. Some of the companies are discouraged."

"Old Dai, what you said is not correct; investment, as long as it complies with national regulations, we are of course very welcome, but there is a prerequisite, that is, we must abide by the rules and regulations of our city; according to what you mean, it is illegal to vacate Undisciplined behavior?"

Ju Dai was deliberating the words of his reply when his wife opened the door and told them both to drink the freshly boiled sugar water.The secretary patted Dai Ju on the shoulder, and they went back to the living room together, and said as they walked, "My wife is from Cantonese, and the sweet water is a must, you are lucky today!"

After the break, the secretary was still unsatisfied and called everyone to play two more laps.Just after the "Great Wall" was built, the nanny came in and said that there was a call from the secretary; I'm not lucky today, so I'll admit it, I'll admit it."

The secretary who stood behind his wife and watched the battle laughed loudly and said, "I'm going to admit defeat? I haven't finished the round, and it's not certain who will win and who will lose."

Mr. Dai moved his ears, as if he heard a subtext, looked up, the secretary and his wife had changed places, and said: "Old Dai is depressed, too, just look at his face full of notes," he echoed with a smile, He also said, "Come on, I'm here, just treat him as a face, this makes me the banker, let's start over! Shuffle the cards!"

................................................

After the Dharma meeting in Pufa Temple, Shi Guyuan bid farewell to Dele and went to the hotel alone.

Compared with Taoxian in the north, the sun is more attached to this city close to the Tropic of Cancer; after checking in, the sky is still bright.Shi Guyuan booked a plane ticket back to Taoxian at noon tomorrow, and there are still more than ten hours before he leaves, he doesn't want to waste in the hotel, and deduce to self-pity.

After going out for a casual dinner along the street, he walked to the seaside without knowing it. The bar street by the sea was just lit up, and the crowds on the street at night were like the reflection of the stars in the sky, dense and busy; A remote alley, at the end is a small bar, the store is small, sparsely populated, and the record player is playing slow English songs.

Shi Guyuan sat at the bar, randomly pointed to a glass of wine on the menu, and then smoked.

His mind was blank, and the initial heart-wrenching pain gradually passed away, like a city after a tsunami, with sea fog and ruins. He is a survivor, but he can only be caught with his hands and wait to die.

With two-thirds of its own liquid in the bullet cup, it wandered to Shi Guyuan's hand; Shi Guyuan took a look, covered his mouth and coughed lightly; In this strange place, here, he can be anyone, except Shi Guyuan.

The high chair beside him creaked, and Shi Guyuan turned his head to see a boy about the same age as Zheng Zhichu, whose youthful vigor made him wriggle restlessly on the chair.The boy asked for a glass of beer and chatted with him: "You're new here, I haven't seen you before."

Shi Guyuan bit his cigarette and squinted his eyes, and smiled softly: "Do you come here often?"

"I'm a student at Takasaki University, so I'll come here for a drink or two if I'm free." The boy looked at Shi Guyuan's wine, speechless, "You drink well, order this."

"All right," Shi Guyuan said, "order whatever you want."

"You are not a local, are you here to travel?"

"Well, what else?"

The boy tilted his head and said: "The answer is aggressive, which means that you are covering up some problems, and this question is about why you came to Takasaki, so you are not here for tourism. Am I correct in my analysis?"

Shi Guyuan finally looked at him, and said slowly, "...that's not right."

The boy smiled even more happily: "I glanced to the left, which means you are lying."

"That question makes no sense."

"Then what are you doing here? Isn't it just to not be so boring and spend meaningless time - I study psychology, you can't lie to me."

"It seems that you didn't study very well." Seeing the boy facing him with great interest, Shi Guyuan clasped the wine glass with his hand, and continued: "5 minutes ago, I didn't know where I would appear, what do you have? Are you qualified to vouch for me?"

"Just kidding, don't be so serious, I'll take you as a tourist," the boy said indifferently, "I know this beach very well, the beer here is better than the cocktail you ordered, really, Do not lie to you."

Shi Guyuan said: "Children, recommendation is a treat."

He didn't know why he would blurt out similar provocative sentences. In front of strangers in this strange bar in this strange city, he no longer looked like himself, as if he had really become another stranger.

The boy said mercilessly: "You are so stingy, you care about every detail with children."

Shi Guyuan laughed happily, clamped his arms on the back of the chair, his wrists fell naturally, and leaned back lazily, and said at the same time: "If I invite you, you will only have juice or milk to drink."

"Well," the boy bargained, "this time you treat yourself, and then how about I take you to the beach at night? The beach is undeveloped, and no one will go there at night. Even if you run naked, no one will see you."

"Okay."

"Eh?"

"You want to show off your meager knowledge of psychology?" Shi Guyuan said, "Don't you just want to see if I will agree to do something that sounds deviant? If I don't agree, explain your reasoning That's right, I'm just a frustrated middle-aged uncle, maybe my wife ran away, the company went bankrupt, or my friends betrayed me, I'm poor, I want to save face, that's all. Now I agree, you still insist on your reasoning ?"

The boy's eyes were unblinking, like a statue, and he laughed for a while: "You overinterpret it, I really don't mean it."

"Oh," Shi Guyuan said casually, "Look, this is the consequence of showing off."

"But what I said is true," the boy's eyes were bright and sharp, with an unsharpened vigor, "let's go," he grabbed his wrist, "let's go."

Shi Guyuan really walked out of the bar with him.Instead of crossing the main road, the boy chose a winding alley.In the distance, Shi Guyuan heard the sound of surging waves hitting the rocks. In the undeveloped area, the fishy smell of the sea was wild; It is clearly visible under the stars and moon.

A jagged white line seemed like a barrier, but it still couldn't stop them.The boy who had been holding on to him rushed into the sea with an enthusiasm that was completely opposite to the temperature; for the boy, it was the crossbar at the end of the game, and he was the one who vowed to win the championship trophy.

Shi Guyuan was a few beats slower. He hadn't run for a long time, and he couldn't remember that when his heart was beating violently, the scorching heat in his throat was surprisingly similar to missing; the boy who was swimming with him had already taken off his shirt and turned into a white fish churning in the water; Shi Guyuan feels the sea sand pouring into his shoes and socks—the mysterious ocean is probably another world that divides the earth equally with the land. The existence of sea sand reveals this secret. When he is in the sea, the sand seems to disappear, but When he returned to land, they became evil stings.

Bewitched to avoid the sting, he walked towards the end of the sea step by step; the boy floated not far away and shouted to him: "Don't go any further! The deep sea is ahead!"

"Is it deep?" Shi Guyuan showed an innocent face, "It's not deep."

Two or three times the boy swam up to him and dragged him ashore, his trousers clammy to his legs and his jacket soaked through.The boy brushed his wet hair and said, "Go a few more steps, and there will be a big ditch, and you will easily get cramps when you panic."

Shi Guyuan lowered his head and smiled, but it's not really deep, even the deepest part of the ocean, he doesn't think it's deep anymore.

His eyes moved to the boy, the translucent panties tightly hooked the buttocks, the heavy penis in front and the curly hair were innocent enough to make people think of desire; Shi Guyuan picked up the boy's clothes and threw them into his arms , urging him to change quickly, the boy said: "I won't catch a cold, I'm not an old man like you."

Shi Guyuan kicked him in the butt, and laughed and scolded "brat"; the boy was dawdling in putting on his clothes, when Shi Guyuan's cell phone rang.

an unfamiliar number.He picked it up.

"Boss Shi, are you safe?"

Shi Guyuan frowned, and suddenly heard a woman's scream and a child's cry in the background of the other party, and his heart sank: "Who are you?"

"Look, I just said Mr. Shi is forgetting too much;" the voice changed suddenly, and the voice suddenly became harsh, "Your sister and the little girl surnamed Chi are in my hands. I heard that you are not in Taoxian now, so I I will give you time, tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the evening, I will meet you at the factory in the south of the city, do not call the police, otherwise, you will never see any of these two!"
