The day after he was dispatched to the frontier, Jiang Xun reported to the Huaxi Sub-bureau with his remaining assets.

When I got to the place, I looked through my pockets—police officer ID card, ID card, door key, and a newly issued subway card. I didn’t even have a decent bag. Even Wu Guangping, the head of the criminal investigation team, couldn’t help but taunt him: “A few days I didn’t see it, why did you pull it off like this? After staying in the city bureau for a few years, you’re still doing the same thing. Not to mention being famous, you’ve lost your car, and you’re starting to squeeze the subway with social animals every day? You useless thing, you can’t get out Don't say I brought you before, it's a shame."

This Wu Guangping is from Master Jiang Xun's generation. He is about the same age as his master Lao Liang. He has strong professional ability and good courage. He was too violent and had no background, which made his promotion road repeatedly hit a wall. His peers had already been promoted to the detachment, but he was still in the sub-bureau dealing with those sneaky cases all day long.

He himself didn't care too much, he treated all cases equally, but Jiang Xun always felt uncomfortable, thinking that Wu Guangping was really inferior in Huaxi, but since Oscar's case happened, he respected this old senior, For being able to manage such a chaotic jurisdiction so well, his admiration for Wu Guangping is second only to the one in Guansan Street.

"I used to think you were a talented kid. I don't blame Lao Liang for being so precious to you. If you were my apprentice, I would hold you in my palm all day long—holding it in my palm and beating you. Lao Liang is so kind to you. I can't bear to be beaten or scolded, I have spoiled you so much, if I had grinded your stinky temper back then, it wouldn't be such a bad thing now."

As soon as Wu Guangping saw Jiang Xun, he hated iron but not steel. He was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, and he even hit him several times.

"Farewell, Lao Liang always said that my temper is up to you, and I always ask if you are my real master. If we are so close, one of us will definitely be beaten to death first."

Wu Guangping smiled. I haven't seen him for more than a year. As he is approaching retirement, his body is no longer as straight as before. If he wanted to pat Jiang Xun, he had to stand on tiptoe to wrap his arms around his shoulders. He slapped the back of the head with a slap.

"Stinky boy, am I in my seventies and eighties, and I still need you to take care of me like this?"

Jiang Xun hesitated to speak, "Old Comrade Wu, you..."

It can be clearly seen that Wu Guangping's body can't stand upright because one leg is retracted. Jiang Xun is very familiar with this posture. It was the same when Chitose was injured a few years ago. I can't get up, the rain is very miserable on cloudy days, and the winter is not much better. When the snow melts, the outside is like a water curtain hole, and the moisture seeps into the bones, and there is nowhere to hide.

"Old rheumatism, it's not a big deal. No one should get sick when they are old. It just so happens that I will retire soon. When the time comes, my wife and children will be hot on the bed, so I won't be mad at birds anymore."

Jiang Xun knew Wu Guangping well. He had always been a ruthless person who smashed teeth and swallowed blood. He would never reveal his misfortune to those closest to him. Lao Liang often talked about him about this matter, but unfortunately it was useless. After a long time, he got used to it, and he also developed a pair of piercing eyes. He could see what Comrade Wu was hiding at a glance.

"What's going on, who dares to bully you, tell me, let me help you relieve your anger."

"You kid? Forget it." When Wu Guangping saw him, although he kept complaining, the frustration in his brows was gone, and he seemed a few years younger. "Don't talk about me, Tell me about you, how did the old guy surnamed Lin run on you again?"

"Don't mention it, it's embarrassing. When I think about losing a fight with him, I feel ashamed to face others. Maybe I shouldn't fight for it. In the end, I didn't fight for it. I was even deprived of the qualification to handle the case."

Wu Guangping shook his head and smacked his lips, "You child has had a bad life since childhood, and your father is irresponsible. If you don't say anything about it, and leave a butt of money, you deserve it. They say that one day As a teacher and a father for life, Lao Liang has been your father for so many years, and he treats you as his own son. If he knows that you are being bullied like this, he will first beat you up, you are not up to date, and then go to talk to Lin The old dog is desperate."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and when they mentioned Lao Liang, they seemed to have countless things to talk about.

During the conversation, the two entered the branch office. Wu Guangping pushed the door of the office, and several heads popped out of it. Jiang Xun took a look and saw that they were all fresh and energetic faces. It made people happy to see them.

"Yo, that's fine, old Wu. It's really not interesting to not say anything after recruiting new people."

"There are only those two newcomers. Haven't everyone else seen it before? Your brain... alas." Wu Guangping couldn't help sighing, thinking that Jiang Xun's brain might never recover in his lifetime.

A young policeman spoke loudly and excitedly said: "Officer Jiang, I am your fanboy! My master has told you a lot about you, and you are a great hero in our hearts!"

Jiang Xun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he didn't know how Wu Guangping talked about himself to this group of newcomers, "What kind of heroes are you? Don't embarrass me if you are so downcast, or I will cry for you later."

The two policewomen started to blush when they saw Jiang Xun, and they were embarrassed to step forward when they saw Jiang Xun from a distance. Instead, several of his "fans" rushed to get autographs and ask for a group photo, which made Jiang Xun quite uncomfortable. Excuse me.

Wu Guangping said something fierce, and everyone went back to their own business in a resentment, only the young policeman who spoke to Jiang Xun first did not leave.

"Master, I have always admired Officer Jiang, let me say a few more words to him."

This man is a little shorter than Jiang Xun, his eyes are as clear as a clear spring that can be seen to the bottom at a glance, his nose is high, his lips are moist, his smile is very attractive, he is good-looking and energetic, and he often appears on TV. Those little fresh meats are very similar.

Although Jiang Xun doesn't like this type of guy very much, but nowadays little girls like such fair and clean boys, and it can be seen that this guy is very popular in the bureau.

"Old Wu, you actually accepted an apprentice. It's strange. It doesn't mean that no one can stand your violent temper. You don't want to harm the younger generation. Why did you change your mind?"

Wu Guangping was a little embarrassed by what he said, so he patted the little apprentice on the back hard, "It's rare to meet someone who is open-minded and good-tempered, so let's make an exception. This kid is very talented, and his grades were among the best in the military academy. You can get on the road with just a little guidance, which is a bit worse than yours back then, but they are top-notch in their class, and their personality is really good, so they are not angry at all. If you don’t leave, I will definitely let him follow you. After all, you can There are not many people who suffer from your temper."

Jiang Xun thought that although there were not many people like this, luckily he met him. Regarding this point, he was actually glad that he met Song Yuzhi, but yesterday's unhappiness broke up really made him feel a little suffocated. He didn't bother to think about the dog who didn't recognize people, so he simply started talking to the young man who was seductive.

"You're a good kid. There are not many people who can be praised by Lao Wu, so do your best."

The little policeman showed his white teeth with a smile, "Officer Jiang, my name is Wen Xingchuan, I admire you very much, can you sign me?"

"Don't be so unfamiliar, they are all the juniors of old Comrade Wu, they are treated equally, just call them brother."

"Hey! Brother Punisher, can I call you Brother Punisher?"

Wen Xingchuan's crooked eyebrows and eyes are really good-looking, even someone like Jiang Xun who is not interested in his type wants to pinch his tender little face, so he stretched out his hand and felt something was wrong, so he turned around quickly Pat Wu Guangping in the direction.

In fact, he was reluctant in his heart. He was usually called "Deputy Jiang" or "Brother Jiang" in the city bureau. Few people dared to call him by his name until Song Yuzhi appeared and broke the deadlock.

If there hadn't been what happened last night, he would definitely reject the boy who took the initiative to stick to him without hesitation, but he is still angry now, and he always wants to add some trouble to the surname Song, so he simply acquiesced .

"Come on, let's call, isn't the name just for people to call, so how can I call you, Xiao Wen?"

"Xing Chuan is fine, Xiao Xing is like a girl, and Xiao Chuan is too rustic..."

"Let's call it Xiao Wen. I have a bad memory, and it takes a lot of effort to remember my name. Please understand."

After a few words of courtesy between the two, Wu Guangping sent Wen Xingchuan off to be on duty. He dragged Jiang Xun to sit down, brewed a cup of Maojian from the supermarket that cost 15 yuan a bag, and drank it. Jiang Xun laughed at him: "So If it’s hot, don’t rush to swallow it, and don’t be afraid of blisters.”

"Leave me alone. I think you and Xiao Wen get along well, why don't you take him with you?"

"Farewell, I don't dare to reach out to your old apprentice. I have a bigger temper than you. What should I do if I get frightened?"

Wu Guangping pursed his lips, "That kid has a good personality and is not as timid as you think. Since he came in and heard about your glorious deeds, he has regarded you as an idol, and he has been working hard to get transferred to the city bureau. He never had the chance before." , now that you are all in front of your eyes, you can only see but not touch, do you want to starve people to death?"

Jiang Xun was amused by him, "What are you talking about, why are you still taking it with you? You don't think it's disgusting."

"Okay, let's talk about this later, there is no rush, let's talk about you first."

"I have nothing to say. If I come, I will be safe. The high bureau has covered me for so many years. Now he can't keep me. I have to give him some face and stop for a few days. In fact, there is nothing unbalanced in my heart. There is no case. There is no difference between big and small, it’s all about serving the people, it’s just that I’m too high-spirited, and when I climbed high, I was suddenly kicked down, so I couldn’t help feeling resentful towards the person who stretched out his foot and kicked me.”

Wu Guangping smiled like a kind old father, and looked at him with a softer look, "Okay, it's not in vain to grow up these years, if you still behave like before, I will definitely take the soles of your shoes in front of everyone else. It's a pity that you haven't given me this chance yet. I'm going to talk about you now, why don't you ask me how I am?"

"Hey, old guy, don't be picky, you haven't given me a chance to open my mouth since I entered the door."

The old man smiled "hehe", "I'm good, but I'm not good either."

He seldom talked about his misfortune so bluntly, and Jiang Xun was a little surprised, so he quickly added some hot water to the teacup, waiting for him to continue talking.

Wu Guangping muttered: "Well, I feel that compared to others, I am really good. I have a wife, a family, and a life. The bad thing is that I think of my old friend from the past. Thinking about him having nothing, I came to this world for a while. Few people remembered him, waved his sleeves and left without leaving a word for his good brother."

Jiang Xun knew that the "old friend" he was talking about was his master, Lao Liang. Although he didn't say anything, he still had a knot in his heart that couldn't be solved. He was the only one who survived the case. Nine years have passed since the incident, and neither of them can let go of it.

Wu Guangping blamed Jiang Xun. At that time, Jiang Xun finally woke up, and there was not much memory left. Wu Guangping looked at him anxiously, insisted that this kid was just pretending, and even fought, and sent him to the emergency room again. .

The leaders and doctors in the bureau did ideological work for him, so he believed that Jiang Xun had indeed lost his memory, and his attitude gradually improved. Five or six years ago, Jiang Xun must have been terrified when he saw him. The memory of the pain engraved in his bones has become an instinct, and he is afraid that Wu Guangping is purely a physiological reaction.

Later, Wu Guangping discovered that Jiang Xun hadn't forgotten it carelessly. When his memory recovered a little, he was forcing himself to recall the details before and after the incident. , Wu Guangping also couldn't bear it.

Now he won't hate Jiang Xun anymore, but he still has a knot in his heart, and he really can't let it go when he brought it up in front of Jiang Xun.

"I don't know what's wrong recently. I always dream about those things in the past, thinking about Lao Liang. It is said that if people don't live long, they have a premonition. Before they die, they will always think of things from a long time ago. I I feel that it has only been a few years since Lao Liang left, but I really wanted to forget him, and now that he has come to dream for me again, he must want me to avenge him."

Jiang Xun sighed, poured some cloudy tea from his tea-stained cup into a paper cup, and took a big gulp, "Old Comrade Wu, be a materialist, don't talk about gods and ghosts all the time. Side, you know I don't believe this, tell me, why do you miss him."

Wu Guangping was not embarrassed to be told that his heart was broken, so he "hummed" and laughed twice, "Actually, your Aunt Li cleaned up the house two days ago and found a lot of old Liang's things. I always feel that there is something strange about that year. , but I have persisted for so many years, and the higher-ups have not given me a chance to reopen the case, what else can I do? I can only count on you, a useless brat."

"Old Wu, why don't you tell the truth." Jiang Xing bit the rim of the cup, feeling that the taste was not strong enough, so he took out a cigarette and bit the filter, "If you didn't find out something, you wouldn't come to me , I now have reason to suspect that you and Li Yingwai, surnamed Lin, have lured me here to help you handle the case, and if you don’t do it honestly, don’t blame me for using torture.”

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to Wu Guangping's ribs and poked at the other's soft spot, making Wu Guangping a little helpless.

"I'm not afraid of this, you are. You really don't give me any leeway."

"Hey, you can't say that. We are cooperating. Since we are all on the same boat, we have to have nothing to hold back from each other. We can't think about leaving a leeway to fly separately in the future when disasters come. Old Liang was right before. It’s just being too rational, living too clearly, and life has lost a lot of fun, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this, what do you think, Comrade Wu?”

Wu Guangping sighed, this long sigh contained all the negative emotions he had towards Jiang Xun in the past nine years, and he seemed to be relieved when he exhausted it.

"Actually, I didn't expect to be able to hide it from you. It's just that I would feel better if you expose me. After all, you were also brought out by Lao Liang. It would make me feel uncomfortable if I didn't realize it at all."

Wu Guangping put on his presbyopic glasses, reached out his hand to untie a bunch of keys from his waist, fumbled to open the desk drawer, and found an old notebook, which contained many handwritten pages, photos and clipped newspapers. It's so thick that it can hardly close the cover.

"I went through all the cases investigated by Lao Liang over the years, even the old things from when we first entered the system, and found a case that I thought might be suspicious. I don't have the authority to transfer files for those cases I have handled, so I can only rely on your useless brain."

"Old Wu, are you kidding me? It's useless to say what you said... The thing I can't trust the most is my memory."

"Stop talking nonsense, can you help me?"

Jiang Xun's attitude was very firm: "Help, I must help! This is not just helping you, Lao Liang, but also helping myself." He knew that if he wanted to be free from this, he had to face the unbearable memory , You must first defeat the fragile self in your heart.

Wu Guangping closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and slapped him hard on the thigh, and remained silent for a long time.

It was just this brief moment of silence that a phone call came in from the office. Wu Guangping answered with a few "hmm" and hurriedly got up.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, don't show off when you return to the grassroots, quickly change into a decent skin, and call the police."

The author has something to say: When a rival appears, please have a sense of crisis.
