Jin Jiaxuan 2: Poem of Silence

A few days later, Shang Yang took his new assistant with him, and the two set off from Beijing by high-speed train to East China for research work.

This new assistant, seconded from a certain unit in the Northwest, is tall and handsome, and has some good eyesight. When entering the station and getting on the bus, he first remembers to help the leader with his luggage, and he doesn't forget to hang up the windbreaker for the leader when he sits down. On the coat hook.

On the one hand, Shang Yang pretended to accept it calmly, and on the other hand, he quietly observed his every move, which felt very fresh in his heart.

"Will you drink black tea or Pu'er?" A few minutes after the train left the South Railway Station, the assistant couldn't stay idle, so he took out the tea bags and wanted to help the leader make tea.

"There is water in the glass, don't be too busy," Shang Yang said, "Take a break, just sit down and don't move."

The assistant didn't move. This was his first official business trip with the leader. He was so excited that he was really bored when he was idle. After being quiet for a while, he turned to look at the leader beside him, wanting to talk to him.

But Shang Yang closed his eyes and was resting.

Why is the leader so short of sleep, how can the assistant not know?

He didn't want to disturb Shang Yang to catch up on his sleep, so he looked elsewhere.

Shang Yang, who was asleep, narrowed his eyes and quietly watched what he was going to do.

His coat is also hanging on the coat hook. The temperature in the car is higher, so he can only wear a shirt. The one on his body is the spring and autumn style that Shang Yang just bought for him in the past two days. It is dark gray and plain, and the cut is very good , he dressed like a male model, and Shang Yang couldn't move his eyes when he tried it on, and his own evaluation was just "it's okay".

Shang Yang squinted his eyes and peeked at him at this time, and found that he was sitting upright, lowering his head and arranging the fabric and buttons on his chest and abdomen, and finally pinched the tip of the shirt collar that was already sharp and straight, and straightened it. Then he raised his head, with an attitude of "look how handsome I am in this shirt".

Shang Yang endured a stomachache from laughing, pretending to be dazzled by the light outside the window, and turned his face to the other side.

Jin Xu noticed the movement and pulled down the blackout roller blind.

Shang Yang tilted his head and snickered for a while, then slowly fell asleep.

Waking up midway, the seat was adjusted to a comfortable angle, and Jin Xu's black hooded jacket was still covering him.

Jin Xu was still sitting upright, watching the news on his mobile phone.

Shang Yang raised the back of the chair a bit, moved his head towards Jin Xu's direction, and also wanted to see: "Is there any big event today?"

Jin Xu put the phone between the two of them and said, "Look at who it is."

In the news pictures, Gu Fei and Zhou Yu were wearing uniforms receiving awards, and beside them were several other police officers who were also receiving awards.

At the end of summer, in the car accident of a loving celebrity in Northwest China, it only took a few days for the public security department to solve the case and catch the real culprit. The group made collective meritorious service and received a special commendation.

The news also wrote that after the case happened, it aroused the attention of all sectors of society. The orphanage received a lot of children's clothes, stationery and books from all over the country, and many people hoped that the orphanage would have more Official channels for accepting social donations.

"It's pretty good." Shang Yang commented with a smile. He just woke up and still has a nasal voice. Apart from the fact that the orphanage is in good condition, there is one other thing that is pretty good, "Director Gu's ascension is just around the corner, let him treat you next time. "

Jin Xu teased him in a low voice: "Director Shang, why are you so childish?"

Shang Yang immediately lowered his voice and said, "Warning you not to mess with me, if you mess with me, I will fire you immediately."

Jin Xu smiled, looked through a few more news items, and the two of them read them together. Finally, they came across the article "The principal culprit in the huge taxi robbery and murder case, who fled for 16 years, was arrested under the active report of enthusiastic people in Dongcheng District...".

Enthusiastic people themselves sighed: "I regret it, I should also report such a big fish, maybe I can get a credit, and I will compete with Director Gu to see who will ascend first."

Shang Yang laughed, the back of his chair was lower than that of Jin Xu, and he tilted his head to Jin Xu's side, which was a bit like he was leaning on Jin Xu's shoulder, and he put his hair on Jin Xu's shoulder After rubbing lightly, he felt very comfortable both physically and mentally. He had never been on a business trip that made him feel so happy and peaceful.

They looked at each other, their hands were under Jin Xu's coat, and they held each other lightly. There were a few calluses on Jin Xu's hands. Shang Yang groped them one by one with his fingertips a few times, and his breathing gradually became even. Long, comfortable enough to fall asleep.

The high-speed rail runs from north to south and then east, passing through half of China.

After nearly four hours from Beijing, they got off the bus at the first stop of this investigation.

The research work lasted for two weeks, and the location was a certain four cities in East China. It was an on-the-spot investigation of the development and implementation of strict police control work in the local area.

Needless to say, Shang Yang is a veteran investigator, and when he started research work, he was just like Jin Xu doing criminal investigation, handy, like a fish in water.

Compared with the interns he used to lead, Jin Xu has obvious advantages. He has worked at the grassroots level for many years, and he knows the "dead corners" of the grassroots departments. He is not like a fresh graduate who has no theory and enthusiasm. It always takes three to five months to enter the state of being in the environment. Jin Xu skipped the trap and reached a tacit agreement with Monk Yang as the chief and deputy, and the research work was carried forward smoothly. Bi Shangyang went out by himself, brought It's much smoother for interns to come down.

During the day, the two went to the local public security unit for inspections, attended meetings, and visited the grassroots police officers from time to time to see the construction and maintenance of the local team. I also saw the technical specialization of civilian positions.

But in the evening, it was their private time, strolling along the street, tasting local specialties, and occasionally bickering over work during the day or other trivial matters, but they always reconciled soon.

Shang Yang himself has a good temper and doesn't get too angry. After falling in love, he will occasionally pick on his partner, but once it goes too far, he doesn't need to be told, and he has to reflect on himself first.

And Jin Xu, apart from being serious about solving cases, lives a casual life in other aspects, not caring about the minutiae. Shang Yang says and does what he thinks is fine.

Shang Yang felt that there seemed to be no natural quarrel between the two of them.

More than a week has passed in the blink of an eye, and the results have been outstanding, leaving only the last destination of this trip, a new first-tier city in East China.

Because the research site of the previous stop had already entered the border of this province, the public security system over there informed this side that preparations were made in advance, and people were sent to pick them up at the high-speed rail station.

As soon as Shang Yang and Jin Xu got out of the station, they saw a young man picking up the station holding a sign with Shang Yang's name on it. Looking at his standing posture and hairstyle, he was a policeman.

The young police officer led them to the parking lot, and introduced: "I am here to pick you up with Section Chief Huang of the Municipal Bureau Office. He is in charge of public security information coordination. He will come to arrange for you to stay with us in the next few days Work here."

When we arrived at the parking lot, a few steps away from the car, we heard a middle-aged man talking on the phone in a nasty dialect. The local dialect is not very easy to understand, but he could tell he was scolding the other party. What happened.

"Chief Huang." The young police officer called out to him.

The middle-aged man turned his head and saw the man, hung up the phone in a hurry, forced a smile, and walked up to him speaking in substandard Mandarin: "Director Shang, right? I'm Huang Jianping."

Shang Yang shook hands with him, and this man was Superintendent Huang Jianping who came to work with Shang Yang. He didn't look like a policeman, but a gangster, and he spoke bluntly, with a bit of hostility.

"Who is this little brother?" Huang Jianping looked at Jin Xu.

"I'm Director Shang's assistant." Jin Xu introduced himself with a grimace. He always did this when he mentioned that he was an assistant along the way. Then he said his name and shook hands with Huang Jianping, but the handshake At that moment, his brows wrinkled inadvertently.

The young police officer was driving, and Huang Jianping was in the co-driver. He chatted casually with the two people who came from afar in the back row about the topic of local police construction, but the conversation was not distracted, and they would check their mobile phones every ten seconds.

"Chief Huang, do you have other work to do?" Shang Yang said.

Huang Jianping said: "It's not a big deal, the people below are clumsy, and they don't care about efficiency."

Shang Yang: "..." This person speaks like a social boss.

Huang Jianping probably also felt that his words and deeds were inappropriate, and explained to Shang Yang: "I didn't know that you were coming today, and you were busy with other things, so I was notified to come... It's not that you shouldn't come."

Shang Yang and Jin Xu: "..."

Shang Yang also didn't want to delay other people's work, so he said: "It's late today, we'll rest when we get back, and we'll talk about the research tomorrow. If you have something to do, go do your work."

Huang Jianping didn't refuse, but nodded, and checked his phone for any new messages.

"Is it urgent?" Jin Xu said, "Isn't Section Chief Huang in the office? What's the urgent matter in the office?"

Shang Yang hurriedly glanced at him, motioning him not to talk nonsense, how could he be so selfish and pissed off at others?

Huang Jianping said, "Yeah, what's the rush in the office? Ask me to pick you up at the station."

Shang Yang, who was picked up, was speechless for a while. Section Chief Huang is really... friendly and nice to speak.

Jin Xu asked Huang Jianping directly: "Are you handling a case?"

Shang Yang: "?"

Huang Jianping turned his head to look at Jin Xu, and the two looked at each other...Shang Yang felt it. This magnetic field was the magnetic field of the criminal police. Gu Fei, Zhou Yuyou, Xing Guang and their team all had it.

"What happened?" Jin Xu asked.

In fact, he is an "assistant" and shouldn't ask these questions.

But he dared to ask, and Huang Jianping really dared to answer: "A woman fell from upstairs and died today. I am still investigating on the spot. Whether it was suicide or homicide, there is no definite result. The office called me to pick her up." .”

Shang Yang thought, no, isn’t he in charge of public security information coordination?Why did you go to investigate the case?

Jin Xu expressed his doubts: "You have been transferred from the criminal investigation team, right? Why did you still go to the scene?"

Huang Jianping: "..."

Shang Yang also looked at Jin Xu in surprise, Jin Xu turned his head and raised his hand to him.Shang Yang then understood, he discovered this through the cocoons on Huang Jianping's hands, the hands of office staff are quite different from the hands of criminal policemen.

Huang Jianping said with a gloomy expression: "At that time... I forgot that I had been transferred, and I happened to be nearby. I rushed over after receiving the notification... I was stupid." The last sentence was extremely self-deprecating.

Jin Xu said: "I can understand."

Shang Yang: "..."

Well, I also met my confidant.

He couldn't help guessing, did this police officer Huang make some mistakes in the criminal investigation post, and was transferred to the office to do a clerical job?But the Municipal Bureau Office is not a cold bench unit. Compared with Jin Xu being transferred to the archives office, Huang Jianping is considered a promotion.

Huang Jianping's mobile phone finally received a message, which was sent by another criminal policeman. Shang Yang and Jin Xu couldn't see the content of the message, but they could see it. His hand holding the mobile phone was shaking slightly due to nervousness.

"Is it...suicide?" Shang Yang knows that some criminal policemen like to solve crimes, but they don't want murders to happen, such as the one next to him.Huang Jianping is likely to be such a criminal police officer.

"Yes, it was suicide." Huang Jianping's tone was not relaxed, but became more painful.

He didn't speak again, and he wasn't as angry as before, as if most of his strength was taken away by the news that "the deceased committed suicide".

Shang Yang and Jin Xu felt strange, but neither spoke again.

When they arrived at the Public Security Guest House, they got off the car. Huang Jianping helped them carry their luggage and said politely, "See you tomorrow morning."

Shang Yang said: "Chief Huang, you look very bad."

Huang Jianping: "It's okay."

"The deceased was someone you knew?" Jin Xu asked.

Shang Yang also wanted to know, and it happened that Jin Xu asked, so he also waited for Huang Jianping's answer.

Huang Jianping looked at Jin Xu silently, and asked nonstop, "Have you ever handled a case that you couldn't solve?"

Jin Xu frowned for a moment, and then replied: "Not yet, it's hard to say in the future."

Huang Jianping shook his head and said, "It's not like that. In some cases, you know who the murderer is and how everything happened, but you just can't catch him."

Shang Yang was puzzled and said, "Are you talking about an old case, or the case of falling from a building just now?"

Huang Jianping said: "It's the same one."

Both Shang Yang and Jin Xu didn't understand, they said: There is an old case, and this one just now, is it the same one?What's the meaning?

"The woman who committed suicide," Huang Jianping said, "she has a twin sister who also jumped to her death a few years ago. I handled the case and found out who forced her to death, but she did not commit a crime. , the police can’t catch anyone, so this sister died in vain.”

In suicide cases, it is often difficult to investigate the crime of "forced" death. According to Huang Jianping's current statement, there is a high probability that this matter cannot be convicted, and the possibility of emotional disputes is higher.

Huang Jianping said: "My sister came to me and blamed me for being incompetent. She said that she often dreamed that her sister was going to take her away. The doctor said that she was mentally ill. Her sister's suicide may have some psychological implications for her. She may walk away again. Her sister's way. You said why she jumped today? Why wasn't she pushed? If I can catch a murderer, that's fine...that's fine."

He muttered a few words, turned around, got in the car and left without saying goodbye.

Shang Yang and Jin Xu looked at each other.

"Officer Huang was driven crazy by this case." Jin Xu was a little sympathetic, but more because of the lack of details, he didn't understand, and said, "He probably asked to be transferred to the office by himself. my ability."

Shang Yang thought about this problem just now. A criminal investigator who was stupefied was transferred to the office, and he was not demoted. The situation Jin Xu speculated made the most sense. The pressure was too great, and he voluntarily asked to leave the criminal investigation post.

"What if it's just an ordinary suicide case?" Jin Xu also thought about it, and said, "No, there must be something inside this case."

Shang Yang folded his arms and said expressionlessly: "What are you doing here? Has the leader approved you to care about the case here?"

Jin Xu: "..."

"Carry the luggage." Shang Yang ordered him to do physical work, and he walked up the steps easily. Before entering the glass door, he turned his head and said, "After finishing the research work, I will take care of other things. Don't delay the business."

Jin Xu wanted to smile or not, and said, "Okay, listen to the leader."

"Be serious!" Shang Yang said with a straight face, "Also, take me with you."
