Top secret

Li Du felt that Jiang Yuzhou was hiding from him recently, and it was obvious that Jiang Yuzhou had started to deliberately keep a distance from him since Jiang Yuzhou stayed at his house that night.

He drank a lot that night, and couldn't remember what he did, and he couldn't get an answer from Jiang Yuzhou, but it was clear that something had changed.

Jiang Yuzhou's attitude became increasingly cold, but he couldn't get a clue. He thought he didn't express his love very clearly, so Jiang Yuzhou wouldn't be scared away by him.

But he didn't have a lot of time to seek evidence. He received a call from home in the morning, saying that the lover of a neighbor's sister had passed away and died in the line of duty.

He moved several pots of flowers in his yard that needed frequent watering to Jiang Yuzhou, and asked Jiang Yuzhou to take care of them for him.

"My condolences." Jiang Yuzhou sent him out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Well, in fact, I have no personal relationship with this brother-in-law, but I feel sorry for Sister Wei." Li Du said, "After all, it is the living who suffer the most, don't they?"

Jiang Yuzhou kept his head down and said nothing, Li Du felt that he had been too silent recently.

The two cities of Jincheng and Yunzhou are not close to each other. Li Du took the high-speed train for three hours to get there, and then met Shen Wei, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Shen Wei is just 27 years old this year, still very young.She wore a black mourning dress, and knelt quietly in the mourning hall, and from time to time people who rushed to express their condolences bowed slightly.

Li Du walked up to the black-and-white photo and bowed respectfully. The person in the photo was wearing a police uniform, with firm eyebrows and eyes, and his life was fixed at this moment in order to save the kidnapped child.

"Here we come." Shen Wei's voice was a little hoarse, but still calm.

"Sister Wei." Li Du opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. Any comforting words for those who lost their loved ones were too pale.

Shen Wei's complexion is not very good, but she still combed her hair carefully and put on light makeup. If one ignores the redness in her eyes, perhaps no one will know that she has lost her lover.

Li Du had attended several funerals before, and those relatives were either numb or crying, but no one was like Shen Wei.

"Miss Wei." Li Du called out to Shen Wei softly. He originally wanted to say a few words of comfort, but Shen Wei's emotions seemed to have opened a gap because of this call, and she poured out tears.

"Xiao Du, did you know that I performed the operation on that child." Shen Wei is a surgeon at Jincheng Hospital. It is said that the child was sent to the hospital together with his husband's body.

"Such a young child was cut several times by the bad guys with a knife." Shen Wei raised her hand and gestured at the second joint of her finger. "The fingers are all broken from here."

"But at least I saved my life." Shen Wei blinked, and tears rolled down her pale and thin cheeks.

Li Du took out a paper towel and handed it to her, Shen Wei took it but it was useless, she squeezed a corner of the paper towel and rubbed it lightly, twisted the square paper towel into a long strip, then pinched the two ends and wrapped it around her fingers, nothing He looked up at Li Du again.

The two were silent for a long time, and Shen Wei opened her mouth with an uncontrollable grievance, "But, who will pay for his life?"

"Who will pay for Chen Feng's life?" Shen Wei's tone was sad and confused, as if she really wanted an answer.

Shen Wei was the strongest woman Li Du knew, but at this moment she was like a stubborn child struggling with an insoluble problem, asking over and over who would pay for Chen Feng's life.

At the end of the question, Shen Wei seemed to have finally given up, she murmured, "Then what should I do."

Chen Feng became a hero, everyone in Jincheng where the memorial service was held, everyone admired this young man in their hearts, but Li Du looked at Shen Wei in a daze.

The news on the webpage that a criminal policeman died in the line of duty is no longer a dry statement, but has been transformed word by word into real events that he can touch, and they are inevitably linked together.

He thought of the scar on Jiang Yuzhou's back inappropriately. He guessed that Jiang Yuzhou was engaged in a more dangerous job than he imagined, but he couldn't ask.

Shen Wei said, "Chen Feng told me before that it would be someone else if it wasn't him. In fact, every time he goes on a mission, I always think in my heart, I hope it's someone else."

"But since I'm married to him, I've made up my mind, but," Shen Wei choked up a few times before finishing speaking, "But, if he is worthy of the country and the people, can he be worthy of me?"

Shen Wei went from choking to crying bitterly in just a short moment, she said, "Every time I have such thoughts, I feel that I am not good enough for him."

"You saved that child for him." Li Du leaned slightly and hugged Shen Wei, "Sister Wei, you are greater than brother-in-law."

"Old Jiang, where's Li Du?" Zhou Ping came to Jiang Yuzhou before lunch today, and after lunch and dinner, he started to inquire about Li Du now that he was full.

"Something happened at home," Jiang Yuzhou paused, but still said, "Someone died in the neighbor's family."

"Ah." Zhou Ping didn't expect this to be the reason. He opened his mouth for a long time, not knowing what to say, and finally asked dully, "Is Li Du very sad?"

"Fortunately," Jiang Yuzhou shook his head, "I'm not very close, and I don't have a deep relationship in private."

"It will be sad too," Zhou Ping disagreed with Jiang Yuzhou's words, "Even if an insignificant person around him dies, there will be emotional fluctuations, not to mention that Li Du attaches great importance to emotions at first sight."

Jiang Yuzhou was stunned by what he said, not because of Zhou Ping's words, but because of the look in his eyes when he thought of Li Du leaving. The man said it was okay, but his eyes were not calm.

He suddenly wanted to prove something, so he asked Zhou Ping anxiously, "Tell me, if we die someday, will Li Du be sad?"

Zhou Ping was dumbfounded by his sudden question, but he was not surprised, after all, they would write a suicide note before setting out on a mission.

But Jiang Yuzhou's words somewhat affected him, he took advantage of Jiang Yuzhou not paying attention, poured a full glass of wine himself, and he opened his mouth only after the glass of wine went down.

"It definitely will, but we may never know that we sacrificed Li Du."

Then he added in a low voice, "Even our family members may not know why."

Zhou Ping's words were very low, but they fell on Jiang Yuzhou's ears like thunder in the rainy season, and he woke up suddenly.

He thought of the sentence "I'm sorry Fang Yuan" that the captain said before closing his eyes many years ago, and the teary face of Mrs. Chen who was out of breath and asked them for an answer.

This face changed many times in his eyes, from that of a friend, that of his parents, that of Shen Wei who had never met before, and finally that of Li Du.

A chill ran up his spine, and he suddenly realized that he was terrified that Li Du had turned into Fang Yuan, into Shen Wei, and into what he least wanted to see.

Jiang Yuzhou took out his lighter and looked at it. The captain wearing the national flag clearly reappeared in front of his eyes. No honors, no titles, no one knows.

It's just a star that died silently for the country, illuminating the descendants with the red light of blood.What the predecessors failed to accomplish, the successors continued, like water drops falling into the sea, forming raging waves.

He is also a member of the water droplets, and Li Du is the shore he yearns for but has to stay away from.
