Jin Jiaxuan 2: Poem of Silence

In the afternoon, Changping District, the Police Academy, the designated venue for the annual inspection of official firearms licenses.

The examiner is an instructor drawn from the police academy on the spot. There are dozens of police officers at all levels who came to participate in the assessment. There are seven people in a group, each with ten bullets. One group, those who didn't have their turn waited in line outside the shooting range.

Shang Yang was already on the shooting range, his uniform shirt was tied in the belt of the police badge, and the three four-pointed star flowers on the shoulder straps were shining brightly in the sun.

He was lowering his head slightly, concentrating on loading the magazine.

50-meter breast ring target, 92-style pistol.

The examiner next to him who scored for him took a pen and a notebook and looked at his operation with disbelief, as if he was ready to deduct points at any time.

The magazines of this group of seven candidates were assembled, and the chief examiner gave the order to start the assessment:

"Prepare--"

"shooting!"

Everyone loaded, raised their guns, aimed, and fired almost in unison. Gunshots on the shooting range rang out like raindrops. After dozens of shots, the gunshots stopped, and the venue fell silent.

The examiners inspected the targets separately, and soon announced the results. All the candidates in this group passed.

The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

In fact, many people present knew each other, not only the candidates knew each other, some of the candidates were graduates of this police academy, and they were old acquaintances with the instructors of the school who were sent to be examiners.

Although the annual examination of the gun license is not a shooting competition, but all the targets have been shot, everyone still wants to know the actual number of rings they shot. One of the middle-aged policemen was the first to ask the examiner who scored himself: "How many rings do I have?" ah?"

The examiner replied: "78 rings."

The middle-aged policeman nodded, and was very satisfied with the result. Others also asked about their own results. Most of them were in the sixty to seventy rings, and only one was lower, with 48 rings, which passed the line.

The seven of them walked out of the shooting range together, and only when they went out could another group come in.

The guy with the 48th ring still regretted asking about the result: "Why did I join in the fun and ask? The ring number can't be seen on the gun certificate. Don't mention it when you go out. My subordinates are still queuing outside. It's not embarrassing enough to be heard by them."

Everyone laughed at him for being silly.

Shang Yang and Brother 48 Huan knew each other, and he smiled a little, but he was spotted by 48 Huan himself, remembering that only Shang Yang didn't ask about the ring number, he became competitive, and turned back to ask for Shang Yang's ring number.

The rest of the people didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so they stood still and waited for him.

"You guys..." Shang Yang said, "The next group is coming in, hurry up and make room for them."

Several people just laughed, waiting to know Director Shang's actual shooting results.

Shang Yang put on his police cap, turned around and left first.

The 48th ring asked the examiner: "How many rings is Director Shang? It should be similar to me, right?

I just heard the examiner say: "It's about the same, he has an 84 ring."

Ring 48: "..."

other people:"……"

In the research institute, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, they are good at playing with pens, and they are not bad at playing with guns.

Shang Yang has strode to the exit of the shooting range, leaving everyone with an unfathomable back view.

After a while, on the way back to the city from Changping, Shang Yang and his brother from the 48th Ring who also work in the Ministry Building took the same car again.

The old man was hurt by the shooting results, and the monk Yang was not very familiar with him at first, so he chatted politely about the affairs of the unit, but had nothing to say, so they each lowered their heads and played with their phones.

Shang Yang shared the matter of the shooting assessment with Jin Xu, with the intention of showing off to the other party: Although I have been a civil servant for many years, I am still a sharpshooter when I return.

He and Jin Xu were classmates at the OUHK. When they were in school, his marksmanship was the best in the department. Jin Xu's marksmanship was also good, but it was still not as good as him.

At that time, Jin Xu received scholarships every year. In comparison, Shang Yang’s grades were mediocre and he did not fail any subjects, but there were two subjects in which Jin Xu was inferior to him in those four years. One was shooting and the other was English.

Jin Xu is a small-town questioner who passed a test in a mountainous rural area. His English is poor, which is purely the result of an imbalance in educational resources.

When it comes to marksmanship, Shang Yang's parents, grandparents, and the whole family are policemen. He knew the police revolver before he could read.

After he finished showing off, he waited a while, but Jin Xu didn't reply him. He guessed that he was probably busy with something, so he had to give up temporarily.

It’s a long way back to work from Changping, and the people in the car are unfamiliar. I’m very bored. After playing with my phone for a while, I read two uninteresting political commentaries. I’m even more bored. I refreshed the Toutiao app, and the place name in a news headline attracted attention. It came to his attention, it was a prefecture-level city in the province where Jin Xu was located.

According to the news, there was a car accident in the city this morning. A private car was speeding on the provincial road, lost control and hit the guardrail. A man and a woman were in the car. The male driver died on the spot, and the female passenger in the back seat was injured. medical……

While watching, a message popped up on WeChat. It was Jin Xu who saw his shooting results and replied: great.

Shang Yang sent a red-faced smiley emoji.

Jin Xu: Do you use Type 92 for the annual inspection of gun licenses?We also use Type 54, which takes a long time to disassemble and then reassemble. It is very convenient to smash walnuts.

Shang Yang was amused, and restrained himself, fearing that others would notice that he was having a secret relationship here, he also lowered his head a little, and asked: Are you not busy now?

Jin Xu: Not busy, is it convenient for video?Let me see which uniform you're wearing.

Shang Yang: It is the summer uniform.

Jin Xu: If you want to see it, show it to me.

There's a little tinge to it.

But after Shang Yang thought about it, this person had never seen him wearing a summer uniform.After graduating from university, Jin Xu returned to his hometown in Northwest China, and he stayed in Beijing. The two of them did not work together, and of course they did not see each other in uniform.

Shang Yang went to the Northwest on a business trip last fall, and the two met again. Jin Xu took the initiative to confess his love and launched an offensive to pursue Shang Yang. It's only eight or nine months now, and it's only the end of the first summer since the two fell in love.

The last time we met was two months ago, and the weather was hot, but both of them were on vacation at that time, and neither of them was wearing a uniform.

Not to mention that he has never seen what Shang Yang looks like in a summer uniform, and Shang Yang has never seen him wear a summer uniform.

Shang Yang replied to him: There is someone next to me, it is inconvenient, you are not in the office?

Jin Xu: Yes, just myself.The archives room is so boring. Going to the street to catch people running red lights is more interesting than the archivist.

Shang Yang: Civilian units are all like this, and we are similar.

Jin Xu: No, I think it’s very interesting for you to be a researcher. If I have the opportunity, I would also like to be a researcher. It’s much more interesting than managing files. You see, you travel for several months a year and run around at public expense.

Shang Yang said dissatisfied: Don't slander our research work, let me say that some criminal policemen, in the name of solving crimes, don't check in on time every day, and go wherever they want, it's unreasonable to be free and loose.

Jin Xu: Oh, the leader is right, but I am not a criminal police officer.

Shang Yang: When you are free, go and ask, when will you be allowed to return to the team?

Jin Xu said salty fish: Don't ask, I don't want to go back.

Shang Yang: Then what do you want?I also dislike the boredom of the archives.

Jin Xu: I don’t want to go to work anymore, why don’t I quit my job and live with you, cook for you during the day and walk the dog, and wait for you to sleep at night, all free of charge.

Shang Yang: ...Nonsense.

Probably Jin Xu sensed that he didn't like to listen, so he braked immediately and stopped talking nonsense.

In the past two months, Shang Yang has always been anxious for Jin Xu, hoping that he can return to his post as soon as possible.

His own attitude was very unclear, saying he didn't want to go back?That is absolutely impossible, Shang Yang was the first to not believe it.Can it be said that he wants to go back?He is always not active, and he is in a state of being casual and loving whoever he is.

Jin Xu has always been able to bend and stretch, especially to Shang Yang, and he showed weakness again: Angry?Just kidding, I just miss you so much, why am I in the northwest?Even in North China, I can get closer to you.

Shang Yang didn't want to always teach him a lesson, so he said along the way: I just saw the news from your side, just about a car accident in your province, where one died and one was injured, and what happened in Qifeng City, it seems that this place is not far from the provincial capital. Far?

Jin Xu: More than 100 kilometers, I also read the news, the woman in the accident vehicle, do you know her?

Shang Yang said in surprise: How could I know?

Jin Xu: Li Yanhong is the moral model of our province.

Shang Yang immediately sat up straight, shocked: Why is it her?

The name Li Yanhong is very famous not only in this province, but also in the whole country.

The Love Welfare Institute she founded has insisted on sponsoring abandoned babies and orphans for several years. In order to provide better living conditions for the lonely and helpless children, almost all the money saved from the small business was spent on the love cause of the orphanage. , She lives in poverty, cuts down on food and clothing, and wants to give the best to her children.

A few years ago, her deeds were broadcast on a CCTV program. Her words and deeds of selfless dedication touched many viewers. Later, several media followed up and made more detailed special reports. Since then, Li Yanhong has become a Nationally well-known caring people have also been selected as provincial moral models, March [-]th Red Banner Bearer and other honorary titles.

At that time, Shang Yang was still in high school, and advanced character materials were used in the composition of high school life questions. This Ms. Li Yanhong was awarded the commendation of a moral model. Her deeds were touching, her antithesis was neat, and her parallelism was clear, which was often used by students in their argumentative essays. doctrine.

There are people who move China every year, and role models from all walks of life are constantly emerging. Therefore, in recent years, Li Yanhong has not been frequently mentioned by the media and the public.

Such a familiar figure, although he had never met, reappeared in the social news in the form of a car accident injured a few years later.

Shang Yang was worried about Ms. Li's injury, and asked: Is she over 50 years old?I don't know if the injury is serious or not.

Jin Xu: I don't know.

Shang Yang: So what caused the car accident?Accident?

Jin Xu: I don't know.

Shang Yang: I haven't seen her news in recent years. Is her orphanage still open?

Jin Xu: I don't know.

Shang Yang said speechlessly: Then what do you know?

Jin Xu: I know it has nothing to do with me.

The accident did not happen in the provincial capital, but in Qifeng City, it was a car accident again. The news described it as "speeding".

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if the provincial department wants to intervene because the injured person is a celebrity, it has nothing to do with the "archivist" Officer Jin.

Police Officer Jin asked persistently, "Which uniform are you wearing today?"

Shang Yang replied: It has nothing to do with you!

As he said that, he quickly took a selfie and sent it while the driver and the 48th ring man were not paying attention.

Jin Xu: Haha.

Shang Yang was upset, thinking to himself, what are you talking about?Don't you rush to praise?

But Jin Xu quickly praised: It looks good.

Shang Yang thought to himself, this is more or less the same.

Jin Xu said again: Are you still grinding your skin?

Shang Yang was furious: Am I that boring?

Jin Xu said: "The last time we met, there was a small mole the size of a needlepoint on your left eyebrow, why is it gone?"

Your eyes are microscopes, right?Shang Yang almost complained like this, but he was a little happy in his heart.

Listen, the tip of the needle is so big, not to mention that no one else will notice it, even Shang Yang himself has not noticed it.

Shang Yang: It may be the acne marks left by staying up late and keeping your mouth shut for a long time. Of course, it will disappear after a long time.

After half a minute, Jin Xu: I have to Baidu to know what shutting up is.

He also said: Your skin is so good, you don’t need to take care of it any more. Every day, bottles and cans are all over your face. If you want me to say it’s an IQ tax.

Shang Yang didn't like to hear it: You are so annoying man.

Jin Xu also said: You man, drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, don't always eat foreign fast food, your lips are so dry that you have lines.

Shang Yang: Climb for me.

After more than an hour's drive, I returned to the unit. When I went upstairs, Shang Yang met a deputy director of the research institute in charge of personnel, surnamed Du, who was less than [-] o'clock. He was kind and kind. Everyone usually called him "Old Du" .

"Director Shang," Lao Du said with a smile, "I happened to meet you, let me tell you, the resumes of fresh interns from various police academies have arrived this year, don't you want an assistant? You should choose first."

Shang Yang said: "Is there any one from our OUHK? Other schools are also fine. Anyway, it's better to be a boy. It's more convenient to travel with me."

Old Du said: "Yes, three or four. Would you like to visit my place?"

"Okay." Shang Yang went with him.

Going to the place, I went through the resumes, and Shang Yang picked two boys out, and said: "When someone comes, let me meet the real person before deciding. These two boys look very good."

Old Du paid attention to it, and asked again: "The intern you brought last year, was it surnamed Yuan or Ding? Which unit did you go to?"

Shang Yang said: "He is called Yuan Ding, and now he is working as a detective in the Criminal Investigation Bureau."

"It's very good. You can try to keep the interns this time," said Old Du. "Our institute is short of talent. Think about it when you just graduated and started working. You were the youngest in the institute. Now you are the deputy director. He is the youngest among us, how can this be possible?"

Shang Yang smiled and said, "It's easy, I'll go, and you will be the youngest."

Old Du also laughed: "I'm doing research work with you! Be serious."

"Okay, research..." Shang Yang said, "If the young man wants to leave, I can't keep him from leaving."

Old Du sighed and said, "As long as any outstanding seedlings want to engage in criminal investigation and national security, they are all taught by the police school. Why don't they understand the truth that public security work has no size? Everyone said that our work is not good enough. It’s exciting, and it’s boring to go to the grassroots to do research.”

"No, someone said just now that they were envious of me being able to run around at public expense..." Shang Yang suddenly moved in his heart, and said, "Deputy Du, I... I have a long-awaited candidate for an assistant, from a local unit, If, I mean if, I want to transfer him up, is the procedure easy?"
