traces of all things

On a summer night in the countryside, everything is quiet, there are sparse lights in the distance, and in the deserted wilderness, only Cicada uses the faint chirping of cicadas to show its sense of existence.

This is a small path where few people walk during the day, but now that it is night, there is a strange sound of "chug chug".

In the dim light, a person jumped out of the car.

"Dang-dang--" Two sounds broke the silence of the night.

The man didn't seem to have expected the sound to be so loud. He shrank his neck in fright, stood still for a while, and then carefully looked around.

Fortunately, no one noticed, not even a dog barking.

The man let out a long sigh of relief, bent down and said "Hey-hey!", and moved a dark object out from the back of the car little by little.

The object seemed to be quite heavy, and the person who moved it wanted to throw it far away into the grass, but he didn't want to lose his strength after pushing it for a while.

Sitting on the side of the road wheezing and panting, in the dark, the man took a flat and round object from the car, probably a straw hat, and fanned it.

Then he threw away his hat as if giving up on himself, got up and took out something from his bag, and clicked on the lighter.

The faint firelight illuminated a pair of wrinkled eyes.

The things that were taken out of the bag were now clearly visible, they were three sticks of earth incense. The visitor lit the incense sticks in front of him and inserted them into the moist and soft soil.Then he wiped off his sweat and straightened his waist.

"I'm sorry, but I really can't move this old waist."

"Reincarnate well, and you will be rich and powerful in your next life, so don't blame me."

Provincial A Public Security Bureau, Special Case Group Office on the fourth floor.

Lu Zheng, the newly appointed Ninth Grade Sesame Officer, is quite happy to be there.

It turned out that when he was in Yuqian, the police force was insufficient. As a technical backbone, he not only had to do the work of trace inspection, but also had to bite the bullet for arrest, document inspection, interrogation, and taking pictures. In fact, the office is only a little big, and it is difficult to turn around after two or three people are stuffed.But now that Geng Zhizhong is the leader and has his own office, Tang Shaoyuan and Wei Xiongfeng are the only ones who share a spacious office with him.

It's just that the painting style of these two colleagues is a bit intoxicated.

Wei Xiongfeng's desk is closest to the door. A set of telephones is hung on the partition. The desk is dirty and messy. In addition to a dual-display computer, there is also a pile of messy documents. Laptop, with some anime characters on the lid, finished mineral water bottles, waste paper balls, eaten apple cores, and the only place that was clean was a plastic female doll with big breasts and thin waist. He said that thing is called a figure, and that plastic girl with unscientific proportions is his goddess. When she sees it, she will be motivated to work, and her name is a string of birdsong. Anyway, Lu Zheng can't understand anything.

Every time Tang Shaoyuan walked past his table, he always frowned slightly and turned his face sideways, as if looking at it one more time would give him a headache.

"Tang Shaoyuan! You hypocritical emperor, will a glance at my table pollute your eyes?"

"No, but it will pollute my nasal passages."

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Similar scenes are being played out with vigor every few days.

It's not to blame for Tang Shaoyuan's sharp complaints. It's because the hygienic standards of his office area are far from Wei Xiongfeng's. The glass partition between the two areas seems to separate two worlds.

Lu Zheng's office area attracted his attention the first day he arrived.

Computers, phones, and various materials and books are neatly placed on the shelves, and hand sanitizers, disinfectant tissues, alcohol cotton pads, disposable gloves, removable masks, and hand creams are lined up on the table, which is quite shocking, like guards lined up.

There is a Delonghi coffee machine on the table next to the sink, and there are many bags of coffee beans stuffed in the acrylic box next to it. Each bag is neatly clipped with a sealing clip. The whole place is neat and orderly, just like the model of IKEA. same room.

It seems that the air is filled with the fragrance of mystery.

The most eye-catching thing is a small wooden shelf on the ground, on which there are a pair of basketball shoes and a Spalding basketball. The edges of the shoes are white and white, and even the basketball itself is as clean as if it has just been wiped.

"Hey Shaoyuan, you play basketball too!" Seeing the basketball, Lu Zheng opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Call me to play with you someday."

Don't blame him for making a fuss, it's because Tang Shaoyuan's appearance doesn't seem to have anything to do with this kind of sweaty sport—to be honest, according to Lu Zheng's impression, he always feels that he has to wear plastic gloves to keep out the dust even when he plays.

Tang Shaoyuan, who was sitting in front of the computer and pretending to read literature, shrank his fingers, and his eyelashes trembled violently under the cover of the glasses.

Call me to play together.

One sentence seemed to take him back to 13 years ago in a trance.

The sun was shining, and on the tree-lined road from the cafeteria to the science and education hall, a baby-faced boy with a cropped head was striding forward with his pockets in his hands. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped, jumped on the spot, and raised his hands to make a shot. chic action.

"Wh-! Lore!"

He also dubbed himself.

The boy hiding behind the bushes couldn't help but chuckled, and quickly covered his mouth as if afraid of being discovered.

"Hey, Lu Zheng!" On the other side of the boulevard is an open-air basketball court separated by barbed wire. Across the green iron net, a sweaty, wheat-skinned boy shouted loudly: "3v3, come on?" Come!"

"Damn!" the baby-faced boy laughed out loud, with a dimple appearing on his face: "Qin Han, you didn't call me for playing ball!"

While talking, he had already run towards the entrance of the basketball court at high speed, the sack-like school uniform brought a gust of wind, rustling the bushes in front of the boy.

People have gone.

The boy slowly came out from behind the bushes, his eyes were full of longing and looked towards the direction of the basketball court. There was an empty space there without even a cover, and there were a few little girls around the court, Pointing excitedly, full of youthful flavor.

Sighing, he turned around and walked away step by step.

In countless dreams, the short-haired boy ran towards him with a smile and said loudly, "Hey, why don't you call me to play?"

Dream and reality merged at this moment.

Tang Shaoyuan opened his mouth, he had a lot to say, but at this moment, he just popped out a word dryly.

"it is good."

**

In just a few days, Lu Zheng felt that it was worth it for him to be transferred to the provincial department.

The morning sun is just right, not hot and bright.It was only eight o'clock at this time, and it was not the official working time.

There was a sound of "sizzling" from the corner of the office of the special case team. Tang Shaoyuan skillfully ground a small bowl of coffee beans into powder, filled it into a filter spoon and fixed it under the coffee machine. After a while, the coffee powder was boiling hot The impact of water vapor slowly extracts a cup of concentrated water.

The whole office is filled with the scent of hazelnuts.

"Wow……"

Lu Zheng, who was passing by the side aisle, couldn't help but stop, and his nose moved slightly.

Hearing the voice, Tang Shaoyuan looked up at him, moved away, revealed another cup of coffee that had already been poured, and silently pushed it in front of Lu Zheng.

"Yo, thanks brother!"

A certain person didn't know what politeness meant, so he took a sip happily.Eyes widened instantly.

"Oh, Shao Yuan, I can't tell, you like this too?!"

Lu Zheng's eyes are very good, with double eyelids, and the eyeballs are round and very dark. When he opens his eyes and looks at people seriously, it always gives people an illusion.

As if... I am his whole world.

Tang Shaoyuan's Adam's apple rolled twice, his heart was pounding with nervousness: "I...guess."

"Then we really have a good understanding, haha!" Lu Zheng held up his cup boldly and took another sip: "I have loved to drink this flavor since high school, and I was always laughed at. Hey, I didn't say it, life It’s all so hard, let’s have some more sugar and feel better.”

While talking, he took out a strip of instant Maxwell and several powdered white sugar packets from his pocket, and shook them triumphantly.

"If senior brother likes it, I will call you every day."

Tang Shaoyuan looked at him with lowered eyes, and answered obediently, but the long eyes behind the glasses seemed to be buzzing with electric waves.

Lu Zheng instantly felt a sense of guilt for wanting to take a card. He was a little embarrassed, but was interrupted by Wei Xiongfeng who pushed the door in when he was about to refuse.

"Morning, team leader! Morning, Tang Shaoyuan!"

Lu Zheng replied "Morning" with a smile on his face, and Tang Shaoyuan on the side was drinking coffee, just raised his eyelids to glance at him, and nodded as a greeting.

"Hey? Tang Shaoyuan, what kind of capitalist enjoyment are you and the team leader secretly engaging in?"

Wei Xiongfeng had a dog's nose, and when he entered the door, he smelled the aroma of coffee, and hurried over: "Give me some too."

"It's gone." Tang Shaoyuan said, looking at Lu Zheng's cup with only one bottom left.

Wei Xiongfeng never knew what a thick-skinned thing was, and pouted at the glass coffee pot behind Tang Shaoyuan: "Isn't there still?"

Tang Shaoyuan turned around and took a look, quickly reached out to pick up the small coffee pot, poured the remaining drop into Lu Zheng's cup, and pushed it towards Lu Zheng's hand as if he was afraid that no one would notice it. push.

"It's really gone now."

Wei Xiongfeng: ...

Can the differential treatment be more obvious, brother?

After enjoying the filial coffee from his younger brother, Lu Zheng returned to his desk in good spirits and started a new day.

Look at the files, check the fingerprints, check the transcripts... This is what it is like to be a criminal police officer. Even if there is no case today, there are still old cases that have accumulated and need to be investigated continuously. After five years, ten years and 20 years, as long as the case is filed, there will be no prosecution period. In other words, when a generation of criminal police retires, there will be a new generation to take the baton and continue on this seemingly impossible road.

The office was very quiet. Tang Shaoyuan, who was facing him, was leaning over, his eyes were no more than ten centimeters away from the desktop, and he looked up at the computer screen from time to time. His subordinates kept drawing, creating the family of the suspect for an old murder case in the province. DNA profile.

Except for Wei Xiongfeng's resentful clicking and clicking of the mouse and keyboard when he was processing the video, the whole room even had a sense of tranquility.

"Ding Lingling..."

Until the phone ringing broke the silence of the room.

"Damn, calling at this time, it's [-]% nothing good!"

While complaining, Wei Xiongfeng neatly paused the half-processed video in front of him, picked up the phone with two fingers, and his movements were quite skillful.

"Hello? Boss? Okay, okay, come on!"

"Team leader!" Daxiong who hung up the phone turned around and howled at Lu Zheng: "We are about to appear on the scene! Dayu County asks for support!"
