Broken Xu

After coming out of the visiting place, Xu Chi immediately recounted the incident to Duan Jieling, and squatted next to the desk after speaking.

"Captain, I thought I wouldn't have mood swings anymore, why didn't she just reconcile with me?"

Duan Jieling put down the documents in his hand, stared at the lonely mass, and said, "Xu Chi, do you remember that I told you that she kidnapped me so that you could catch her?"

Although Xu Chi didn't know why Duan Jieling mentioned this, he still responded to indicate that he knew.

"Then have you ever thought that she is trying to distance herself from you? A murderer and a criminal policeman can't settle anything. Coupled with his family's background, it will be troublesome for you as a policeman, so..."

"Did she do it on purpose?" Xu Chi felt more confused after thinking about it. "Then she doesn't have to. I don't mind what other people think at all."

Duan Jieling looked at the naive and stubborn person, but couldn't help but interrupt him: "Xu Chi, adults always make plans for others in this way, like you like that kind of play, but your mother will definitely Telling you that there is no future in doing that, she is planning for you in her own way."

"team leader…."

"Don't call me so pitifully. Once you figure it out, you can visit her again tomorrow. You won't be able to visit her soon. You decide for yourself," Duan Jieling found that Xu Chi stopped talking, and knew that he was thinking about this. "I went out, no one came to my office for a while, you can think about it here, if you figure it out, come to the tea room to find me."

The door was closed, leaving a place isolated from the world.

When Duan Jieling came out, he realized that he had forgotten his thermos cup, so he could only take some coffee with a paper cup. Looking at the small water flow from the coffee machine newly bought by the police force, he couldn’t help feeling that this thing really looked like the size of the water flow when he peed. , Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Hong stared at Duan Jieling who was smirking for a while before opening his mouth cautiously: "Captain, that, can you let me go after I finish the call?"

Duan Jieling also realized that he was distracted, so he didn't explain much, walked to the cabinet and leaned casually, drinking the freshly received coffee in his hand.

"Captain, do you think Xu Chi is handsome?"

"Have you changed your target? But it's not bad, Xu Chi is younger, taller, and handsome than someone."

Zhao Hong interrupted: "What's right? I'm just asking what you think of Xu Chi."

"Xu Chi..." Duan Jieling thought carefully about Xu Chi in his mind, warm, strong but not stinging, what does it look like, like "like a sunflower."

"Sunflower, that's really a good match, a bean curd heart with a knife mouth, a sun flower..."

Upon hearing this, Duan Jieling rang the alarm: "Xu Chi has a new target?"

Zhao Hong also thought it was funny, the captain's posture was clearly extremely possessive of Xu Chi, and he was not aware of it at all, but as an outsider, he didn't have the qualifications to expose it, so he could only laugh and leave the tea room.

"What do you mean? Tell me clearly. How can the police concentrate on handling cases after they are in love?"

Xu Chi figured it out and happened to bump into this scene, he helped the captain stop Zhao Hong: "What's wrong, Brother Zhao."

Zhao Hong was too lazy to talk to these two people who had a crush on each other, but he also didn't want to be the one who explained it for them. He said: "The captain is afraid that you will fall in love."

"Captain... What did Brother Zhao say?"

"He's farting. The captain is afraid that you will be distracted. You haven't officially started working yet. Now falling in love will affect you. Do you...understand?"

Xu Chi had known for a long time that the captain had always treated him as a child, so saying this was almost like a fucking rhetoric, and he didn't take it seriously, he just said: "I understand, what the captain said is right, I won't fall in love for the time being of."

"Why?" Duan Jieling asked subconsciously.

"There is a person I like who treats me very well. I want to chase her, but he probably doesn't like me."

"That's good." Duan Jieling couldn't explain why, he just felt a heart in his stomach, but he reacted and complained for Xu Chi, "Why doesn't he like you, our interns are so good."

"The person I like is better!"

Duan Jieling looked at Xu Chi who was so sure, and suddenly felt that being liked by this kid Xu Chi should be quite happy. Although clingy and important people are often coaxed, but when something really happens, he can be used as the backbone. This person is still very good.

"Captain, what are you thinking?"

"It's nothing, just, about Lin Ling, you still..."

Xu Chi understood what he was going to ask, and before he finished asking, he said, "I'll go back and see her for the last time tomorrow. If she insists on leaving this world with this feeling, I won't force her anymore. If we can reconcile, then that's fine." I have no regrets."

"It's okay, we agreed that the captain is your next luck, and the captain will accompany you." Duan Jieling stepped forward and patted Xu Chi on the shoulder.

"The captain doesn't need to sympathize with me, as long as you stay with me, I will cheer up."

Duan Jieling was taken aback by what he said, then smiled gratifiedly, and said yes, companionship instead of sympathy, means that they are now on the same plane, only helping each other, and no one is condescending, this child is ambitious Not too small, "You want to compete with me for the captain?"

"Of course not, the captain is always the captain."

"But Zhao Hong said that during the period of my absence, you have led the police force very well."

Chen Chuan stretched, turned off the game he just lost, and was about to go in to get a cup of hot water, when he heard these words, he squeezed between the two of them, and put Xu Chi's shoulders: "Yes, captain, you I don’t know, our interns were more prestigious than you at that time, and he took power before I even spoke a word, he is trying to usurp the throne!”

Duan Jieling and Xu Chi looked at this "uninvited guest", and they had a surprisingly unanimous tacit understanding. They said a word to Chen Chuan, which was a word Chen Chuan heard most often in the police force.

"roll."

Chen Chuan didn't even pick up the hot water, and ran out with an aggrieved expression on his face, babbling about something like "he has no status in the police force".

Duan Jieling and Xu Chi looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Captain, do you think Brother Chen is mentally retarded? I really want to take him to the hospital for an IQ plus eq test."

Duan Jieling took a sip of coffee, and echoed, "Chen Chuan's 2b appearance has never changed. In fact, I have always envied him."

"Why brother Zhao likes him, I really don't understand."

"Probably because of that stupidity. Zhao Hong didn't like to talk much when he first joined the police force. It was Chen Chuan's two idiots who didn't know how to drive him. Anyway, I didn't ask about it specifically." Duan Jieling said in retrospect.

Xu Chi said: "But it's too sad to like such a person. He won't be able to find out in his whole life, and he will feel cold when he thinks about it without any problems."

"You can't control other people's affairs, everyone has different ideas, as long as Zhao Hong is happy."

"That's right, Brother Zhao has a delicate mind, and it can be relieved to have this two idiots who are usually teasing." Xu Chi looked at Duan Jieling instead of drinking tea and drinking coffee, and asked, "How is the captain drinking coffee today?"

"What are you talking about, I just didn't take out the thermos in the office, so I took a cup casually."

"Why don't you go in and get it?"

Duan Jieling didn't speak, but stared at Xu Chi with a look of 'you think for yourself'.

Xu Chi suddenly remembered that the captain said that he should leave himself a little quiet space, and when he figured it out, he raised his head and looked at Duan Jieling: "Captain... why are you so nice..."

"It's just a small thing. This coffee is too bad. It tastes like pot water."

"Isn't it good to add some sugar?"

Duan Jieling frowned when he heard these words: "It's even worse with sugar added, it's pot water with added sugar, it's better to drink like this, I still like to drink tea."

Xu Chi wanted to laugh when he heard this metaphor, but somehow felt that what he said made sense, and then he asked another question: "What brand of tea does the captain usually drink?"

"Is there a brand for the tea?" Duan Jieling was a little surprised by this, "Every time I randomly find tea from the tea room, what brand do I want for things, isn't it just to refresh myself?"

Xu Chi was a little shocked. He thought the captain was an expert tea taster and was planning to give some good tea cakes, but he heard such words, but things are simpler this way, as long as the packaging is exquisite.

"What do you think?"

"It's nothing."

"Let's go."

Xu Chi didn't realize it all at once, "Go...where?"

"Go back to work, is it possible that you want to talk to me here for the rest of your life?" Duan Jieling returned to the office first after speaking.

"I just want to tell you for the rest of my life..." Xu Chi silently added while standing still.

The days passed day by day, and the weather gradually became hotter, and Lin Ling's execution date also arrived.

Xu Chi still didn't see Lin Ling for the last time, and he didn't dare to watch the execution. He only heard from the executioner that she walked away peacefully.Xu Chi was squatting at the gate of the police station, holding a cigarette he had received at the funeral, and was about to light a fire, but the lighter was taken away.

"What are you smoking, little brat?"

Xu Chi took down the cigarette dangling from his mouth in embarrassment, and looked at the person who came: "Captain..."

"I've been to Lin Ling's funeral." The questioning words were in an affirmative tone.

"I've been there, captain, I know why she went to the reporter before she died..." Xu Chi paused.

Duan Jieling didn't rush him, so he just sat casually on the curb and lit the lighter one after another.

"Captain... I don't know much about her. Her mother died three years ago, and his stepmother's son is five years old... No wonder she ruined the Lin family before she died..."

Duan Jieling never thought that this was the reason. He thought that Lin Ling wanted to let this matter continue to ferment in City A, so that people would stop cruelty to animals. It turns out that there is such a layer, and he is also a poor child... .

"Every time I go to him, I tell him that the graduation thesis is so difficult to write, which teacher in the class is so annoying, and I have never heard her talk about myself. My friend is so incompetent...why am I so... ..." Xu Chi said this, rubbing his hair irritably with his hands.

Duan Jieling said: "She won't blame you, you were the last person she saw..."

"I know she won't blame me. It's because he won't blame me that I hate myself even more. What am I? It's worth her. She might as well kill me. At least I can accompany her..."

Duan Jieling didn't speak, took out the cigarette in Xu Chi's hand, lit the cigarette with a 'crash', took a puff, exhaled the white smoke, watched it rise slowly until it dissipated, and said: "If you go with her, captain Who are you pointing at for retirement?"

"Captain...you know how to smoke?"

Duan Jieling smiled nonchalantly, and shot the ashes on the curb: "That's it? You look down on me too much. When I was 10 years old, my parents would start smoking when they died."

"Captain..." Xu Chi looked at Duan Jieling in a daze, not knowing what to say.

"Okay, don't look at me with that look. Aren't you talking about you now? I'm telling you this. This world is so big. No one can live without anyone. When my parents died , My sky has collapsed, and now I think about it, it’s nothing.”

"But the captain is so sensible, it must be different from me."

Duan Jieling sneered and said, "Did you see that? I was a mess at that time. I didn't study hard all day, so I loved to learn to sing with the old man in the alley. My parents broke my heart, my mother Depression was also discovered by me after digging through the medicine bottle."

"That….."

"Listen to me, I was singing the lock bag that day, and the police came to pick me up and said my parents were dead and asked me to go for an autopsy. I almost beat the police... Then one day when I was looking for shoes, I My shoebox is full of letters she wrote to me, she couldn't survive a long time ago, and she left me so many letters so that I don't blame myself, you say I'm such a jerk..." Duan Jieling talked intermittently The past, the past that has been dusty for a long time is still very uncomfortable to recall.

"Do you understand?" Duan Jieling suddenly looked up at Xu Chi.

"Understand what?"

"They are doing it for our own good. Although this is something we don't want to see, they also want us to live well and live happily."

"Captain, I probably understand what you mean, but I have to take it easy, it's still hard to accept."

Duan Jieling extinguished the cigarette butt, stood up and stretched, and said, "That's right, the hardest thing in the world is to forgive yourself. If you think about it, go in and sit down, or you Just go and talk to Lin Ling, she can hear it in the sky."

After finishing speaking, Xu Chi was left to sit by himself at the gate of the police force.

After a while, Xu Chi stood up, shook the ash that Duan Jieling had flicked on him when he was smoking just now, and entered the police station.

Xu Chi took out the paper and pen, and wrote word by word;

To Lin Ling:

After I finished writing, I realized that I didn’t know what to say to her, yes, what to say, do you remember the swing we made on the crooked tree when I was young, did you say thank you for inviting me to dinner when I was young, or did I say I was sorry for not being able to Grow up and protect you.But none of this seemed to be what he wanted to say.

Half an hour later, Xu Chi drove to the cemetery. The drizzle wet the glass of the car. Xu Chi held up a black umbrella and burned the letter that had been written for half an hour but only had one sentence to Lin Ling.

To Lin Ling:

If you want, let's have a sweetheart and a baby in the next life.

Yours Xu Chi

--------------------

I'm quite satisfied with the end of this chapter. Xu Chi has reconciled with the past and will become more mature again, but I can't think of how to add more words to this chapter. Let's stop here and let Lin Ling and Xu Chi have a good relationship. a happy ending.

The beginning of the next chapter is basically the team building that I said before, and there will be very few cases later. This book is more than half completed. Thank you to those who have been chasing me. This is also my first time writing a book. Thank you everyone, bow.
