old man feeding rules

The envelope was a relatively rare silver stamping process, with dark lines on the black background, silk flowers on the background, thick cardboard, and even the sealing sealer mixed with gold powder, exuding a sense of luxury from the outside to the inside.

With the rapid development of science and technology in recent years, there are not many people who like to write with a pen, and letters have become an ancient means of communication. Most of them express symbolic or commemorative meanings. For example, documents and invitations still retain this tradition. At first glance, he felt that it was a strange invitation letter.

Jiang Xun took out Song Shensi's cell phone, and found a photo from it, which was sent to him by the other party not long ago. The envelope style and material in the picture are the same as the one in front of him, obviously from one place.

The reason why Jiang Xun's attention was attracted was because there was a familiar mark on the wax lacquer of the letter, which looked like a square "口". There was also an inconspicuous bend on the front edge of the "horizontal", which made Jiang Xun more convinced of his guess.

——Sure enough, Wang Wanying's "death message", the imprint left on the photo of Jiang's old house, and the traces left on Qiantui's grave are not the word "mouth", but the number "17".

And it is "17" with an underline.

What does it mean?

Gao Ju saw that he was staring at the phone in a daze and there was no response, so he opened the envelope for him, took out the letter paper with the same black background and silver lettering inside, and handed it to him.

"Little Punisher, have you watched "And There Were None"?"

The novel "And There Were None" written by the queen of reasoning, Agatha Christie, has always been regarded as a biblical work by readers all over the world. Jiang Xun has naturally read it and has a deep memory of the typical "Blizzard Mountain Villa Model" in the book , It's just that at this time, mentioning this not only can't inspire his reasoning lover's soul, but it feels creepy.

He took the letter, and it really was an invitation card. The wording of the paper made people feel like they were ten years ago:

[The lament of the lamb resounds through the night of death, the urn turns, the key of truth is left in the world, and the abandoned son of God will open his arms and invite you to join us on the night of resurrection. 】

"Lamb, □□... the night of resurrection?" Jiang Xun looked at Song Shensi who was driving without incident, "Is your invitation letter the same?"

"Almost." Song Shensi answered ambiguously, looked back at Gao Ju, and then hurriedly turned his gaze back.

"But I remember his envelope was white, does it mean something different?"

Gao Ju coughed lightly, raised his chin and pointed to the letter in his hand, "Look at the signature."

"Thephantom of Satan—to my dear... Police Officer Jiang Xun?" Jiang Xun felt that the shock when he saw the letter was far less than at this moment. He had too many doubts in his heart, and he didn't know where to ask. He hesitated for a long time before speaking: "This... the letter for me, why did it get sent to you? Could it be... sent directly to the Municipal Bureau?"

Gao Ju sighed, fiddled with a cigarette between his fingers for a long time, and it was all crumpled, so he simply took out another cigarette and handed it to Jiang Xun.

He knew that the man had always had this habit. Even if he didn't smoke when he was anxious, he would habitually bite something in his mouth. It was better than nothing.

"Things were stuffed into my office from under the crack of the door. No one else knew about it, but if they were delivered to me without anyone noticing, it means..."

In addition to resting in peace, the city bureau also had people cooperating with others, which was exactly what Jiang Xun had guessed before.

"Any clues?" Jiang Xun asked.

Bureau Gao shook his head, "It was premeditated. The other party first pulled the main switch and cut off the power of the surveillance video before sending the things to me. During the period from power outage to recovery, the surveillance did not capture anyone."

"This is also very strange. The power control room is on the basement floor, and your office is on the fifth floor. Generally speaking, he has no way to guarantee that the power supply will not be restored when he shuttles between the six floors. If the switch is switched off, he is likely to be caught, isn't he?"

"It was late at night, except for the uncle in the guard room, there were only a few policemen on duty sleeping in the office, and there was no surveillance around the power control room. There was no suspicious behavior in their respective seats."

"Who were on duty that day?"

"Not much, the little Di you brought out, Pei Qian from the technical investigator, and another person from your criminal investigator named Zhang...Zhang..."

"Zhang Chunxiao?"

"It seems to be called that name."

During the Oscar poisoning case, this "Little Zhang" followed Chitose to investigate the scene. When Jiang Xun was stabbed by Lan Ling at the Yanxi Railway Station, he was also the first to rush to subdue the suspect. In the case of Jiang Punishment’s attack, Zhang Chunxiao sponsored the whole case for the first time, insisting that Zhang Ruoruo, the suspect behind the scenes, hired gangsters who beat people up. The trick is an excuse she made to get rid of the crime, and has no direct relationship with this case.

Because the victim Jiang Xun in this case did not suffer substantial harm, and was only detained for a few days in the end, Zhang Ruoruo and those gangsters were released as soon as he was criticized and educated. Jiang Xun always knew about this, but he himself felt that There is no need to make a fuss, just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye, and it passed without further investigation. Until later, Pei Qian suspected that in the case of Zhang Ruoruo and Zhuang Xiaoai, someone sent information through the social trumpet, and the transfer of the signal was exactly related to the underground auction. The website came from the same Southeast Asian country, and it gradually became more important.

Thinking about it now, the details of Zhang Chunxiao hastily covering up the details of this case are indeed somewhat suspicious, but this alone is not enough to make Jiang Xun doubt his colleagues. At least for now, he still thinks that Zhang Chunxiao's appearance is just a coincidence.

"One more thing to note," Gao Ju interrupted Jiang Xun's contemplation, "The guard and the first person who discovered Chitose's disappearance are the same person. There are details we haven't been able to uncover."

He knew that this case, like the bombing case back then, was a healed scar in Jiang Xun's heart, and when he talked about it, he carefully observed the person's reaction, ready to stop at any time.

However, Jiang Xun's reaction was much calmer than he expected. He folded the letter paper and put it in the envelope, tilted his head to concentrate on looking at the scenery outside the window, and stopped talking. Gao Ju could be regarded as watching him grow up, watching him shut his mouth I knew that this kid must have started to suffocate again.

"I can warn you, you are now a suspect whose name is on the internal arrest warrant. You should be self-conscious. Only when you are by my side can I protect you. Don't let me worry about you at such an old age. For the sake of being good to you, let me save myself, okay?"

Gao Ju speaks sincerely like a hard-hearted old father. Seeing him like this, even if Jiang Xun is hard-hearted, it is difficult to say anything to refuse. He obediently leans over like a docile cat, letting Gao Ju treat him like a cat. .

Seeing him like this, Gao Ju's always tense expression loosened a bit, and he said something that shocked Jiang Xun:

"If my son is still alive, he should be about the same age as you now. Unfortunately, he will never be able to call me 'Dad' again."

"High Bureau..."

"Some people don't know their blessings when they are blessed. They are always obsessed with unimportant things, hurting others and themselves. I really don't want you to take risks, let alone watch you court death. You are Lao Liang's pro-disciple. It is also the younger generation that Lao Cao desperately wants to keep. Every time you want to take risks in the future, you will think about them, and think about whether the life they retrieved for you is worth throwing away in such a muddle. If you die like this, will they be happy that you have become a martyr bravely, or will they want to scold you as a brat who doesn't know what to do?"

Faced with Jiang Xun's eyes full of astonishment, Gao Ju was afraid that the words would be too harsh, so he softened his tone, "Be obedient, there is nothing in this world that is more important than your life. Only when you are alive can everything become possible. It has been so many years , it doesn’t matter if you are a fool or a donkey, I will follow you and rely on you in everything, so it’s time for you to take a step back, right?”

Jiang Xun didn't answer, but asked instead: "I never knew, so you have a son."

"It happened many years ago. The adopted son was not my own. He was the victim I rescued when I destroyed a criminal gang of human trafficking. He was young when he was trafficked and couldn't remember his parents. We also found There was no report that fit his situation, so he had to be sent to an orphanage. The child had been sexually abused since he was a child, and he was afraid of being approached by everyone. The hospital said that he was suffering from serious mental illness. Sent to a mental hospital for treatment, he is doomed to be unable to coexist with ordinary children."

When talking about this past event, Gao Ju's face showed a kind of emotion that Jiang Xun had never seen before. He had seen similar expressions on strangers before, and he couldn't understand it until now. It is the love of the father alone.

He said: "When I rescued him, he was only 14 years old. He was a very slender and beautiful boy. It was unimaginable that he had suffered such persecution. At first I only visited him out of pity for the victims. Contacting the doctor and communicating with the hospital is simply a sense of responsibility and sympathy that all police officers have. I want to give him a safe home, but then I found out that he depends on me far more than I imagined. When communicating alone, he would only accept my good intentions. Apart from me, he even resisted the approach of anyone, including a psychologist. So at that time, I made another major decision after not getting married, which was to adopt him. .”

Jiang Xun had heard about the fact that Gaoju was never married. It was rumored in the bureau that he had a marriage contract with a female traffic policeman who was also in the system. Just half a year before the marriage, the woman was hit by a drunk driving car while on duty on a rainy night. Unfortunately, he died in the line of duty, and after that he decided not to marry for the rest of his life. This beautiful love story has been spread in the city bureaus of Yanchang and Changzhou, but he didn't know that Gaoju had a family after that.

"That kid is very sensible. After I adopted him, I have been teaching him how to get along with others. He is also very cooperative. Like the kids of that era, he dreamed of being a policeman since he was a child. Although I don't want him to do this job , but he still chose to respect his own wishes. Later, he also struggled, was admitted to the police academy, and entered the Changning City Bureau. In order to overcome his psychological shadow, he underwent a lot of stimulating treatments behind my back. He only found out after he died."

Gao Ju caressed Jiang Xun's head, the never-before-seen sad expression made the latter feel indescribably heavy, as if a boulder was pressing on his heart, and it was difficult to calm down.

"Although I rescued him from the purgatory on earth, I failed to completely disintegrate the criminal organization that made his life miserable, or it is more appropriate to say that what I discovered was just the tip of the iceberg. After he entered the system, he has never given up on tracking down the criminal organization back then. The criminal gang even went deep into the enemy's rear to make dangerous deals with their informants. He was still so young, inexperienced, and unable to distinguish other people's lies, so he was easily deceived and lost his life..."

Gao Ju's voice became deeper and deeper as he spoke, and his always clear voice seemed much older.

"His execution was a provocation by criminal gangs to the police. When I found him, his throat was cut and he sank in the stream. It was cold spring in March, and his blood stained the entire stream red. I love him so much. My son was stripped of his dignity and trampled on by them. God knows how much I wanted to kill them at that time... Xiao Xun, I was as eager for revenge as you, risking my life to make those animals who hurt them pay the price, but Sacrifice in vain will only fuel the enemy's arrogance, and you must save your life to seek justice for them."

Jiang Xun didn't speak for a long time, not only to digest the heavy facts he just learned, but also to consider his next move.

Just when others thought that he would continue to pretend to be stupid like this, he suddenly opened his mouth and said something that the high-level team would never dare to dream of.

He asked, "Old Gao, can I be your son?"

Gao Ju was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Jiang Xun said: "I don't have a father to discipline me. From small to large, it's my fate not to be beaten to death. In fact, I really want to find someone to take good care of me. If you want, it's a matter of words."

"Raising you is a matter of worrying for a lifetime, let me think about it."

"Sure, it's fine whenever you figure it out, but let me remind you that such a good thing as a free son is not something that happens every day. If you pass this village..." He said, Jiang Xun suddenly smiled, "After passing this village, I will wait for you at the next shop."

Gao Ju's eyes were wet by his words, and he almost nodded impulsively.

Jiang Xun patted Song Shensi, "You haven't reached the city yet, pull over and let me put some water."

Song Shensi hesitated for a moment before stepping on the brakes, Jiang Xun pushed open the car door and looked back at Gao Ju meaningfully.

"Old Gao, think about it carefully." After finishing speaking, he closed the car door and walked to the grass beside the road.

Song Shensi hesitated to speak, turned his head to look at Gao Ju's face several times, but he didn't see any intention to speak, and felt a little anxious.

"Uncle Gao..."

"Let's drive."

The man's voice was still clear, but there was an indescribable emotion in it, which made the pronunciation of the characters sound a little fuzzy.

He said, "Go away, he's not coming back."
