dance like a butterfly

Train K174 departed from Tianshui at nearly ten o'clock in the evening.It was less than three o'clock in the morning and we arrived at Xi'an Station.

I ran back secretly, but no one came to pick me up. I smiled and shook my head. When I got out of the car, I still remembered to put on a big mask to cover my face.

There are not many people who pick up the station at the exit, and I am caught in a large number of people. I am not afraid that anyone will recognize me.In the square in front of the station, apart from the cold air and tourists in twos and threes, the taxi drivers who come and go the most are the night shift taxi drivers.

"Dude, go to Adaqi (Guanzhong dialect, meaning where to go), do you want a car?"

Several drivers came up and asked attentively, each with a loud voice, speaking the long-lost authentic local accent.

After staying in Tianshui for nearly two months, I suddenly heard this familiar language and saw the old city wall again. In a moment, that kind of intimacy came over my face: Xi'an, Lao Han, I'm back!

After getting into the car, the driver turned around and asked in very substandard Mandarin, "Master, where are we going?"

On the train, I imagined several options.

First, go directly to Lao Han's old house in Yinshuifang Village and give Lao Han a surprise.This is what I am most eager to do and most eager to do, but I am also afraid that the result of this surprise will turn into an embarrassment that will make everyone unhappy: Lao Han called me in the afternoon and told me clearly that I will be in Tianshui again. Stay for a while longer, and if you get bored, you can go to any southern city to play. As for when to return to Xi'an, you must wait for his notice.

The second is to go back to Yaxinyuan's house.But thinking about it again, it doesn't work that way.Nest at home, how many days?It's impossible not to go out all the time, as long as he goes out, Lao Han will definitely know.

How much I want to see Lao Han, even if I secretly take a look at him from a distance.Thinking of Lao Han, it felt like countless little ants were crawling around in my heart. The bone-eating itchiness was even more uncomfortable than a secret love.After thinking about it, he still suppressed his saliva.

So, now there is only one way to go: to see Chen Hanzhang!

When I got off the bus at the Fourth Medical University Hospital, I found that even though it was still early, there were still people coming and going in and out of the door in twos and threes.I took off the mask by the wall and tried to call Chen Hanzhang, but he didn't turn off the phone.

"Xiaohui, is it you?" Chen Hanzhang was surprised, and laughed again, "Could you be coming to see me now?"

"You're right, I'm right at the gate of the hospital, so I won't bother you if I go to see you now?"

"Ah, is it true? It's cold outside, so come up, I'm in bed 28 on the seventh floor of the inpatient department."

For the Fourth Medical University, because I lived there once last time, I am no stranger to it.On the seventh floor, at the door of Chen Hanzhang's ward, a man greeted me with a smile. It was the young police officer who chased me in Weinan with Chen Hanzhang last time. Because he was not wearing a uniform, I almost missed him this time. recognize him.

Chen Hanzhang was wearing a hospital gown, leaning cross-legged on the head of the bed to rest his mind.Hearing the sound of the door opening, he saw me, sat up straight and said with a smile, "Come on, it's cold outside, sit down quickly," and then turned to ask the police officer Xiao Liu to pour me some water, then turned to me and said, "You This is what I learned from Lao Han, who didn't sleep in the middle of the night and came to talk to me."

I smiled lightly, "What's the matter? If you think I'm disturbing you, I'll leave." After I finished speaking, I didn't move away. "Anyway, I'm here too. Look at you, there's nothing wrong with it. People in your line of work have long been used to being night owls."

Judging from Chen Hanzhang's complexion and appearance, it is obvious that he has almost recovered.Because I am an acquaintance, I don't need to be cautious when talking to him.

Xiao Liu pulled a stool for me, sat down in front of the bed, poured another glass of water and handed it over, closed the door by himself and went out.

Chen Hanzhang pointed at me with his index finger, and said with a smile, "Xiaohui, look, it's only been a while since I've been with Old Han, and I'm talking like him."

I pursed my lips and smiled, took a sip of water and asked him, "Brother Chen, where are you hurt? How do you feel now?"

"Still talking, look." Chen Hanzhang lifted up his clothes, revealing his white and thick chest.There was a piece of gauze wrapped three to four centimeters from the cleft of his left chest, "This wound is just a little bit, if there are more wounds, I, Old Chen, will bid you farewell. Fortunately, my old Chen has a big life! Hahaha."

I gasped, "It's so dangerous, how did you get hurt?"

"Hey, in our line of business, you've always tied your life to your waistband. Didn't Lao Han tell you? This time he was chasing a kidnapper. That guy was risking his life. I've already pinned him down. Who knows what happened to him?" Why did the gun hook back and shoot at me?"

"Brother Chen, you are no longer an ordinary police officer, why are you still running the case like this?"

"Don't mention it, when you encounter a difficult case, just like me, you have to take the lead. Hahaha, let's not talk about it, uh, Xiaohui, you didn't meet Lao Han downstairs just now, did you?"

Lao Han, did Lao Han come here just now?I was overjoyed and worried at the same time, so I quickly asked, "You didn't tell my brother that I'm coming, did you?"

Chen Hanzhang said, "Since I promised you not to tell him, of course I didn't."

I don't know what kind of mentality I have now. When I go back to Xi'an this time, I am afraid that Lao Han will know and that Lao Han will not know.Since he wanted to come back to see Lao Han, even if it was just to take a look at him, he just missed it downstairs.I lowered my head and took a sip of water, I didn't know what to say.

"Xiaohui, you don't need to have any mental pressure right now. Don't worry, with the help of Lao Lin and me, Lao Chen, your brother will be able to pass this test."

Chen Hanzhang handed over a cigarette, put one in his mouth as well, switched on the lighter with a snap, and leaned over to light my cigarette.

I heard something wrong with Chen Hanzhang's words, raised my head, and asked, "Pressure? What do you mean?"

Seeing that I was not in a hurry to light a cigarette, Chen Hanzhang turned his arms around, lit it for himself, took a long puff, and after a puff of smoke, his face was facing me, with a half-smile, "Hehe. You are still pretending in front of me! "

Chen Hanzhang's words were like a smoke screen in front of him, and my monk, who was two feet tall, couldn't figure it out.

"what do you mean?"

"Are you really ignorant or fake? In Lao Han's village, a few days ago, someone distributed small leaflets everywhere, embellishing the matter between you and Lao Han. Not only this leaflet, but also on several websites, including Tencent's It’s also available on the Daqin website, and it’s full of gimmicks!”

With a "click", the water glass and cigarette in my hand fell to the ground together.

In an instant, my head was big.Blood came out of nowhere and rushed straight to my forehead.What I have feared for a long time has happened in real life!Lao Zuo, as well as Lao Han, did not mention such a big matter in front of me. From this point of view, the current development of the situation is not as good as what Lao Han unilaterally described to me. If Chen Hanzhang hadn’t said today , I will always be kept in the dark and completely unaware!

During the nearly two months in Tianshui, I haven't surfed the Internet, how can I know this?I really didn't expect that under the calm surface that Lao Han told me, there is an undercurrent here!It is conceivable that with the current level of the campaign, the struggle between them is so fierce!

"According to the information we have so far, these things are all articles written by Zhang Wenqing and a woman named Tian Zhenzhen. But don't worry, Lao Lin has already asked people to say hello to those websites, and has also sent many people to specialize in Stay on the Internet and block this kind of news. All posts and texts about this matter are not allowed to appear. If you see one, delete one. I also notified the police station in your jurisdiction. There are people squatting on various roads during the day and night. People who saw this kind of leaflets People, immediately confiscate the things and give a serious verbal warning."

"Tian Zhenzhen did this, and I can figure it out. Why did Zhang Wenqing do the same? Lao Han said that he is not among the candidates this time?"

I'm baffled.

"Well, didn't Lao Han tell you? In the beginning, there was no Zhang Wenqing. Later, a candidate named Zhang Dehai, somehow, quit halfway, and Zhang Wenqing stepped forward. Now the village chief At present, it is basically Zhang Wenqing and Lao Han who are fighting for the seat. A few days ago, Lao Han's series of methods were very effective, such as publicizing village affairs, election manifesto flyers, and distributing small gifts such as lighters and drinking cups. In comparison, they clearly have the upper hand. It was just to fight Lao Han, Zhang Wenqing and this Tian Zhenzhen, they are really nothing, and they actually launched a black hand and launched a personal attack!"

Gu Long once had a famous saying: a master, the one who defeats him is often not the real enemy, but the friend who knows him best.Perhaps because the provincial government moved north, when Yinshuifang was increasingly becoming the deputy main city, Zhang Wenqing was no longer willing to work for Lao Han An. Perhaps, earlier, he had already been eyeing the position of village chief.

"Xiaohui, you have to be careful of people messing with you in the future, especially when you go out, beware of some people jumping over the wall in a hurry, but they can't handle Lao Han, and then they will try to trick you."

"Fuck me?" I smiled sadly.

"Of course, I'm in the criminal investigation business. Haven't seen anything? Haven't heard of anything? Some people are ungrateful for profit, and Zhang Wenqing must be this kind of person. Do you know that, in order to win votes, Zhang Wenqing is now He has already begun to spend all he has, invested more than 300 million yuan, and it is said that he has started to use the method of buying votes, and each vote is 7000 yuan!"

"Isn't this breaking the law?" I opened my mouth wide in surprise.

"There are no relevant laws and regulations restricting the purchase of votes. Xiaohui, you are also a student. You know that there is a saying that 'the law does not blame the public'. People operate in secret. Since ancient times, the procedures for accepting complaints have been If the people don’t sue the officials, they won’t be held accountable. Speaking of voters, who would be so stupid as to take other people’s money and sue them again?”

"Then, if my brother wants to win, how much will he spend?"

I couldn't help but sweat for Lao Han.

"At least this number!"

Chen Hanzhang extended a slap.

"Everyone understands that the height of a demon is one foot, and the height of Tao is ten feet higher. If Zhang Wenqing has seven thousand, your brother will get eight thousand. If your brother is eight thousand, maybe Zhang Wenqing will get nine thousand. When Zhang Wenqing reaches nine thousand, your brother will get one." Integer! Unless one person can't bear it and asks for reconciliation, otherwise, someone will be carried down!"

It's a brutal game, and just thinking about it makes my head break out in a cold sweat.

In the market, I have seen a poker gambling method called "Zhajinhua".There is no limit to betting and there is no cap. Both of them hold their own three-page cards. No one knows the size of their own and the opponent's cards. It's just that you come and go and keep throwing money in front of you to bet until one person Shout out.The party who calls to stop usually sees that the other party does not change his face and confronts him calmly. It may be because he has started to feel guilty, or he may have bet all his money.When the opponent took all his money and walked away, he turned over the cards of both sides with trembling hands, and often saw that his own card was the biggest leopard or the biggest straight flush, while the opponent's was just a bunch of miscellaneous cards that could not be smaller. That effect is really a kind of irony with a huge gap.

According to what Chen Hanzhang said, the current battle for the village chief in Yinshuifang Village is obviously a gamble between Lao Han and Zhang Wenqing!
