Lao Gong is a deep sea mermaid

Gu Zhou remembered an incident when he was in the orphanage.

A past event that makes people can't help but frown when they think about it.

It was an afternoon, and Gu Zhou couldn't remember the exact time.

But he vaguely remembered that it should be a day after his tenth birthday.

That afternoon, Gu Zhou had just finished the last class of the day, carrying a small schoolbag, and was going back to the dormitory of the orphanage to do his homework.

But when he was halfway, he was suddenly called back by the teacher to attend safety class with other students.

It is said to be a safety class, but in fact, the teacher used the recent case as an example to warn the children in the orphanage to pay attention to safety.

Cases that are used as examples are usually cases of child drowning and abduction.

But that was not the case that day.

Gu Zhou remembered the teacher's stiff face that day, and the investor's savage appearance.

What was taken as a case was an extremely bad case of kidnapping and intentional injury.

The people involved were a few gangsters who had been idle all year round and often stole and robbed. The victim was a little boy slightly older than Gu Zhou.

It is said that the kidnappers just wanted to "get some money to spend" at the beginning, but the parents of the little boy chose to call the police when they received the blackmail call.

So the kidnapped little boy became a tool for criminals to vent their anger.

Despite the soft language of the news reports, most adults guessed what the kid was going through.

Gu Zhou didn't understand at first, but it was the investor of the orphanage who "kindly" reminded him.

The investor told him that it was because the little boy was "too beautiful" that he went through all this.

Thinking of the scene when he heard these words, Gu Zhou frowned, and felt sick in his stomach.

At this time, Gu Zhou's hand was covered by another hand, he raised his head and saw the worry in Ming Yuan's eyes.

"I am fine."

Whenever Gu Zhou recalled the days in the orphanage, he would habitually have nausea like a conditioned reflex.

But recently he has rarely recalled what happened at that time, and there is a reason for what happened today.

Because the young man looked very similar to the victim in the case.

In fact, Gu Zhou didn't really understand why in many cases, the criminals who should be exposed had mosaics on their faces, while the faces of the victims who should be protected were clearly shown.

This situation has been greatly improved in recent years, but similar things happened frequently more than ten years ago.

Maybe it was because law-abiding ordinary people at that time did not have much concept of "right to privacy", but habitual offenders who often showed their faces knew it well.

All in all, Gu Zhou left a deep impression on the victim's appearance because of the special scene when he learned about this case.

He remembered that face, a face with gorgeous features and indistinguishable male and female.

A face that is easy for bad people to stare at.

Until the end of the day's celebration trip, when everyone went back to the observation station together, that face still flashed in Gu Zhou's mind from time to time.

The young man didn't look like he was living a miserable life.

This is at least a blessing in misfortune.

Unbeknownst to Gu Zhou, Ming Yuan has been observing him for a long time.

"Om..."

The vibrating sound of the mobile phone interrupted Gu Zhou's thoughts.

He took out his cell phone and his face quickly darkened.

"I have returned the money in the original amount, so don't send any more money to this account."

Right now, a group of people have passed through the Golden Beach Resort to the section of the beach adjacent to the observation station.

Because this section of the road is inaccessible, and it is night now, the blue light on Gu Zhou's phone is also particularly conspicuous.

Ming Yuan, who was half a head taller than Gu Zhou, could easily catch a glimpse of the words on the screen.

For creatures like mermaids, even if it is something that passes by in the blink of an eye, they can hardly see it wrong.

What Gu Zhou displayed on the screen was the bank card transfer information, the amount was [-] credit points, and the remark was "the other party did not receive it, and the original amount will be returned."

Ming Yuan glanced at Gu Zhou's profile suspiciously.

For ordinary people, [-] credits are about three months' salary.

Although the salary level of the Observatory is higher than that of most industries, for employees like Gu Zhou who have just worked for a year, their monthly salary will not exceed this figure by much before the promotion assessment this month.

Why did Gu Zhou transfer nearly a month's salary to other people?

It might be reasonable to put this matter on other people, but Gu Zhou is an orphan and has no relatives.

After being together for three months, Ming Yuan did not find out that Gu Zhou had any particularly close friends.

Twenty thousand credit points is not a small amount, and it is impossible for Gu Zhou to transfer it to an unfamiliar person casually.

If someone else asks him to borrow money...

Then the money can't be returned the same way.

Ming Yuan doesn't care about money at all, what makes him care about is Gu Zhou's emotions.

Ever since he looked at his mobile phone, Gu Zhou's body was full of arcs of "depression" and "guilt".

This is unreasonable to Ming Yuan, why should people who give money to others feel guilty?

No matter for any human being, money is a good thing, right?

Ming Yuan watched Gu Zhou put away his phone pretending to be calm, and gave himself a stiff smile.

Ming Yuan, who originally wanted to ask something, suddenly couldn't bear to ask any further.

The current Gu Zhou is like a puppet that is about to be broken, as if it will be turned into a pile of pieces if touched.

Ming Yuan is the one who is careful, for fear that the doll will be broken.

That night, the two tossed and turned in their respective rooms, unable to sleep.

It's just that Gu Zhou is because of that text message, and Ming Yuan is because of Gu Zhou.

……

The next day, not long after arriving at the main control room, Gu Zhou and Ming Yuan received a notice from the station master, saying that they were asked to go to the reception room.

When the two arrived at the reception room, they saw two policemen standing in the reception room, as well as several colleagues who participated in the defense two days ago.

"You two are here, come quickly." The station master turned to one of the policemen with the politeness on his face when receiving foreign guests: "The two of them are the ones who discovered Mr. Wang had a stroke."

The station master's words were very clever, he only said "discovery", but did not say that Wang Mingyu had the incident when he was discussing private matters with Gu Zhou, and he was calm and protective.

"Hello, we received a call from the client's younger brother and came over to inquire about the situation."

The police seemed to be afraid that Gu Zhou would be nervous, and explained: "We have watched the video of the day, so far, the two of you are not suspected of intentional harm. We asked the situation clearly to close the case as soon as possible, and we ask you to cooperate. "

The employees of the observation station who had finished their inquiries left the reception room one after another, but the small bags from the maintenance department were missing.

Gu Zhou speculated that there might be a problem with a certain submarine, and Xiao Bao couldn't leave for the time being.

After everyone else had left, the older policeman began to ask questions, while another young policeman took notes on a tablet.

"It's like this. Our police station investigated Wang Mingyu's social relationship yesterday and found that the two of you had no contact with him. However, according to the testimony of other employees of the Observatory, the two of you were embarrassed by Wang Mingyu on the day of your defense. , After the defense, I had a private conversation with Wang Mingyu for a period of time... Can you two disclose the content of the conversation that day?"

Although there was no sound in the surveillance video, the actions of the three people in the video showed a big problem.

Wang Mingyu first stretched out his intact left hand to Gu Zhou, as if begging for something.

After a few conversations, Gu Zhou also took out a drop-shaped metal object the size of a fingernail.

Obviously, the two parties failed to reach an agreement in the end. Wang Mingyu wanted to use violence, but in the end he suffered the consequences of acute cerebral apoplexy.

What the police wanted to know was whether Gu Zhou and Ming Yuan had blackmailed Wang Mingyu.

If the two hadn't blackmailed Wang Mingyu, no matter what the content of the conversation was, the responsibility would not have been shifted to the two.

For the police, the current predicament is that Wang Mingyu's sequelae are too serious, he is paralyzed all over his body, and he is still slurring his speech, so he cannot describe the situation that day at all.

Therefore, they can only place their hopes on Gu Zhou.

However, for the police, the words of Gu Zhou and Ming Yuan are not completely credible.

After all, Wang Mingyu couldn't speak, and there was no sound from the monitoring. No matter what Gu Zhou and the two said, there was no evidence for it.

What the police didn't expect was that Gu Zhou called up an audio file from his phone, clicked on it, and leaned against the back of the chair with his arms folded.

The recording of the day rang on the phone.

"Don't play dumb..."

As soon as Wang Mingyu's voice sounded in the recording, the bodies of the two policemen stiffened a little.

When they heard "rape attempted", their faces immediately sank.

"Is this what you were talking about that day?"

"That's right, we met him before in an old-fashioned neighborhood in a suburban park. There was no surveillance there, and it was just right for him to attack innocent children. If Ming Yuan and I hadn't happened to see it..."

Gu Zhou didn't continue talking, but the two policemen had already imagined the consequences.

One of the policemen was a young man who had just joined the job, and cursed angrily, "Why do they have the face to call the police?"

Another older policeman looked thoughtful.

He has seen a lot of those twists and turns in the wealthy family when handling cases.

From now on, it seems that Wang Mingyu's matter is probably the work of his cheap brother.

Otherwise, Wang Mingyu is recuperating well, why did he suddenly come to the Observatory?

"Why didn't you call the police before?" asked the young policeman.

The older policeman shook his head at his younger colleague, signaling him to stop asking.

The young people who have just joined the company are always a little too upright, so as to ignore the filth of others.

The example of Wang Mingyu's revenge is right in front of him. Do we need to ask why he didn't call the police?

not to mention……

Thinking of the old colleague who was hospitalized, the policeman's face became heavy.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the reception room, and Xiao Bao poked his head out from behind the door, "Sorry, there is something wrong with one of the submarines, I am late."

Several people in the room turned their heads away, Xiaobao saw the policeman's face, walked in and said, "It's you!"

As Xiaobao said, he turned his head to look at Gu Zhou, "This police officer also took over your affairs last time."

A hint of confusion appeared on Gu Zhou's face, "I remember the last time the police officer was named Lin."

"Lao Lin and I were jointly responsible for the last case." The policeman explained.

"Why didn't Officer Lin come this time?" Xiao Bao asked familiarly.

The policeman's face darkened, "Old Lin is hospitalized."

"It's not that those criminals don't know how to repent! They dared to attack the police as soon as they came out, and this time they won't be able to get out in ten years!" The young policeman was straightforward and told the truth directly.

But after saying this, the young policeman also felt something was wrong.

He turned to look at Gu Zhou, "Are you afraid of his revenge?"

Ming Yuan corrected the other party, "It's Xia Ye's parents who are afraid of revenge."

Gu Zhou sent the audio file to the senior policeman and said, "I don't know if the Wang family will retaliate, but I still hope that you can protect the child's personal safety in the near future."

"That's our job."

Now Xiaobao's testimony is actually dispensable, the police only asked a few more symbolic questions, and then planned to leave the observation station and go to Xia's house to inquire about the situation.

Before the two left, Xiao Bao asked, "How is Police Officer Lin's injury? Isn't it serious?"

The young policeman sighed, "Why is it not serious? He is still in the central hospital! I heard from the colleague on duty that he will have to stay for a month or two before he can be discharged from the hospital..."

"It's so serious!" Xiaobao said in shock, "The one who got out of prison must be a serious criminal!"

"It's just a few indecent criminals. The last time they intended to be indecent, they were arrested and locked up for a few months. As soon as they were released from prison, they provoked and retaliated. They followed Brother Lin to the neighborhood where he lived."

The policeman's words reminded Gu Zhou of the time when he and Police Officer Lin met in the coffee shop. At that time, the phone call Officer Lin received seemed to mention the molester.

"It's not easy being a policeman!"

After the two police officers left, Xiaobao sighed.

"Yeah, it's often not easy for those who uphold justice..." Gu Zhou finished in a low voice, ignored the others, and went straight out.

Xiao Bao and Ming Yuan looked at each other, and both felt that something was wrong with Gu Zhou today.

"Gu Zhou."

Ming Yuan chased after him and walked side by side with Gu Zhou, "What's wrong with you today? Can you tell me?"

"I can't tell myself." Gu Zhou shook his head, stared at the floor under his feet, and said after a long time, "I want to ask you a question."

Ming Yuan quietly waited for Gu Zhou to continue speaking.

"If there is one thing, you are just from the beginning to the end, but you are the one who is hurt the most, then will you continue to uphold justice?"

"It depends on whether you think it's worth it. If it makes you happier to be defeated by evil than to compromise with fate, then it makes sense to insist on justice." Ming Yuan asked a little probing: "Are you doing it for the sake of justice?" Is Officer Lin sad?"

"Not exactly." Gu Zhou's eyes were a little empty, "I was thinking, if I seek justice for other people, but in the end..."

Gu Zhou raised his head and looked directly at Ming Yuan, "Like Police Officer Lin, or those people who are more miserable than him, what should they do? People cannot be resurrected after death."

"The dead will never regret it, Gu Zhou." Ming Yuan said, "The human soul cannot do this."

Ming Yuan showed a helpless smile and said, "If you want to see Police Officer Lin, I can take you to see him."

In fact, what Gu Zhou thought was not all about Police Officer Lin, but what Ming Yuan said made him subconsciously reply: "How can I go to see it if I don't have a holiday?"

At night, he finally knew Ming Yuan's method.

"Is this what you said?"

Gu Zhou's face flushed red, and he huddled in Ming Yuan's arms, making sure that this posture was no different from the princess hugging when they first met.

"Your speed is not fast enough. If you don't, you will be spotted by the surveillance at the door." Ming Yuan suppressed a smile and said solemnly.

As if he had no selfishness at all.

Gu Zhou wanted to jump down, but Ming Yuan was so fast along the way that he had no chance to jump down at all.

Finally arrived at the ward area of ​​Pelican Central Hospital, Gu Zhou let out a sigh of relief, "Can you let me go now?"

"That's not acceptable." Ming Yuan hugged Gu Zhou and stood in a blind spot of the surveillance, "If you are photographed, there is no way to explain it."

Under normal circumstances, no one will keep watching the surveillance, but since the currently hospitalized policeman was attacked, the police on duty here may check the surveillance to ensure that there is nothing suspicious in the hospital. personnel.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhou began to regret that he and Ming Yuan went to see Police Officer Lin together.

Rather than shrinking into other people's arms like this, he might as well ask for a leave of absence to visit Officer Lin openly!

In fact, Gu Zhou and Police Officer Lin only met once, and they didn't have much friendship. It stands to reason that his desire to visit Police Officer Lin is not that urgent.

However, if he didn't come to visit Police Officer Lin, he might have to explain more things to Ming Yuan.

Gu Zhou is not yet ready for this.

Ming Yuan stood against the corner of the wall, and the sound from the ward was transmitted along the pipes in the wall to the ears of the two with excellent hearing.

"It's really unreasonable. Why do these people have the face to provoke and retaliate? I heard from Lao Yang that the reason why Wang Mingyu suffered a stroke was his own fault! Just like this, his family still has the face to call the police! You eat it apple……"

Gu Zhou had never heard this voice before, so he guessed it was a colleague of Police Officer Lin.

"Don't eat, the wound hurts." This time it was Officer Lin's voice.

"I said that you didn't need to give them any ideological education last time. This kind of people will never change, and they will hate you when they turn around."

"Of course it's best to be able to start a new life, but I'm not doing it for those scumbags. I just hope that there will be one less person who harms others."

Officer Lin seemed to laugh in the ward, "Thinking about my staying here for a month, it's worth it if those grandchildren can't come out to harm the society for ten years!"

"I really convinced you... It's this time, and you still have the mood to laugh! The doctor said that you were lucky this time. If the knife near the internal organs hadn't been missed, would your life still be alive? It's all two words!"

The words behind Police Officer Lin spread along the wall to Gu Zhou's ears.

"When I first chose this job, I should have thought that one day, this is what the police will do. It's a bit of a middle school, but to be honest, I have wanted to do this job since I was a child. I don't care what others think, I adore In this profession, I naturally want to eradicate crime. It is a dream to make a million dollars a month, why can’t it be a dream to punish evil and promote good? I pursue my own dream, and it has nothing to do with others.”

"Let's go back." Gu Zhou's mood became calm.

It is not wrong to stick to justice at any time, as long as those who stick to justice feel happy, then their persistence is meaningful.

It is precisely because of the existence of people who stick to justice that evil can only be like a mouse, even if it is full of fat, it will eventually be invisible.

Satisfied, Ming Yuan returned to the observation station with the little bride in her arms in her arms.

……

Half a month later, Wang Mingyu's attempted rape case hit the headlines of the news in Pelican City.

The Wang family also apologized to the public and quickly replaced the family heir.

It's just that whether all this is driven by guilt or profit, I'm afraid only they know.

The benefits are not without, at least Wang Mingyu can no longer do evil, and there is a high probability that the new heir will not stand up for him.

For Gu Zhou, this is already the best result.

Just when Gu Zhou was about to continue working, the screen of the mobile phone on the table lit up, and a new message popped up.

"Brother Xiaozhou, when do you usually rest?"

The message was sent by Xia Ye, but Gu Zhou knew that Xia Ye should be using his parents' mobile phone.

"It's break time from 01:30 to [-]:[-], and it's [-]:[-] p.m. during off-duty time. Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Within a few seconds, Gu Zhou received a reply.

"The lawyer brother told me that someone handed over the evidence to the police uncle, that's why the family got the compensation. That person must be you, Brother Xiaozhou?"

"Um."

After that, Gu Zhou didn't receive any new news for a long time. This kind of situation is very common in Xia Ye, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

And on Xia Ye's side, just as Gu Zhou thought, Xia's mother took the mobile phone from Xia Ye's hand because she had to go out.

But at the same time, she also saw Xia Ye's chat records.
