never forget [criminal investigation]

The Dongjiang climate in this season is unpredictable.It was still cloudless yesterday, and the sky turned iron gray overnight.

Xing Yue's car parked at the old place, put Xiang Hai and his broken bicycle down, told him to call after the interview, and came to pick him up himself.

"Understood brother." Xiang Hai shrank his chin into the collar of the cotton jacket, and pulled out a pair of woolen gloves from his pocket to put them on.

The damp and cold air penetrates through every hole, and drills into the bone crevice through the thick coat.

Xing Yue put the hood of his coat on the yellow hair on his head, wanted to tell him to be more careful in everything, but felt that it was useless, so he just scratched his cheek lightly, "Go. "

Xiang Hai stepped on the bicycle, sniffed, "Brother, it's so cold today, let's go eat hot pot tonight!"

"Okay." Only now did Xing Yue have a relaxed expression.

Xiang Hai looked at him, "Then be careful on the road, I'll be waiting for you." After speaking, he pedaled hard, and the wheels of the bicycle started to rotate.

Watching him go away, Xing Yue got back into the car and went straight to the hospital where He Kun was.

Today's meeting with He Kun is imperative, but Xing Yue is not fully sure about the result.

He Kun is now on parole for medical treatment, living a life without desires and desires, and he has no bargaining chips in his hands to exchange.

In addition, as Xu Feng once reminded him, he is a policeman, and He Kun and his son are bandits.The relationship between them is complicated and sensitive, like a well-knotted spider web, if you accidentally bump into it, you can't get out of it.At that time, it is unknown who is the prey of whom, or whether the oriole is behind.

What concerned him the most was that Xing Yiqing would inevitably be involved in the process.

In a sense, Xing Yiqing saved He Kun's life, which is why He Kun took the initiative to ask He Xionghui to help him.But after knowing that his father might have lost his life because of that case, this emotion became extremely complicated.

He didn't want his father's name to appear in it again, it felt like squeezing the sour fruit that Xing Yiqing bought with his life.

When he came downstairs to the hospital, he opened the car door and suddenly felt a cold on the tip of his nose.

Spreading his hands and raising his face, the fine white snow particles fell on the skin one after another, turning into a bit of coldness.

It's snowing?

This is the first snow in Dongjiang this winter, I didn't expect it to come so early.

The sky was still leaden gray, and the snowflakes were so fine as salt that one could not tell where they came from.It was as if it had been scattered out of thin air a few feet above the head.

Standing in the snow, Xing Yue sent a message to Xiang Hai, reminding him that it is snowing and be careful on the road.

But just after pressing the send button, Xiang Hai's news came in almost at the same time.

- Brother, it's snowing!

Xing Yue raised the corners of his lips, and clicked on the following photo.

In the photo, the black woolen gloves are spread out, and many small snowflakes of invisible shape are falling on the palm.

Xing Yue also took a picture of his left hand on a whim and sent it over.

- Come on, give it a shake.

The hospital ward is warm as spring.As usual, He Xionghui was leaning on the recliner by the window, wearing reading glasses, admiring the latest photo of the group of dog sons sent by Lao Huang.

Hearing that the door of the ward was pushed open, he just rolled his eyelids, and his eyes quickly returned to the phone.

Xing Yue looked around the room, then took off his coat and put it on the armrest of the sofa, "Is He Xionghui here?"

He was quite surprised, thinking that this man would look closely at his father.

He Kun still looked at the phone screen, "Well, I asked Xionghui to go back."

He didn't put down his phone until he finished admiring the last photo, stood up from the recliner, and took off his reading glasses.

"Huh? It's snowing." He looked out the window.

Xing Yue didn't take the initiative to start a conversation, but was watching the man's back.

Compared to being in prison, He Kun is like a different person.Gray hair grows on the top of the head, and the person seems to be a little fatter, and even the vigilance like a snake in the past seems to have disappeared.

"Thank you for Lao Huang." He Kun turned his back and spoke first, "And my dogs, thanks to you that day."

Xing Yue didn't make a sound.

"And Yuan Jie, you caught Lei Tao for me, and you have avenged him."

"I didn't arrest Lei Tao for you, let alone to avenge someone." Xing Yue walked towards him, "Don't say it as if I know you very well."

He Kun chuckled and turned around, "Officer Xing, what do you want to know when you come to me?"

He was also observing Xing Yue.

In the past, he knew that Xing Yiqing had a son, that he also became a policeman later, and that he worked in the place where Xing Yiqing used to work.Although he had never met him before, he recognized him immediately in the interrogation room of the No. [-] Prison that day.

This young man is too similar to Xing Yiqing, especially those eyes.

However, after a few short contacts, he felt that Xing Yue and Xing Yiqing were quite different.

"Yuan Guoping, you should know him." Xing Yue picked up the topic directly, "I want to know everything about him."

"All?" He Kun twirled a pot of green plants by the window with his fingers, "That's a lot."

Xing Yue took out the cigarette case and took out a cigarette.

"Smoking is not allowed in the hospital."

Xing Yue stuffed the cigarette back again, "Tell me, what conditions do you want?"

He Kun walked slowly by the window with his hands behind his back, "Why do you suddenly want to deal with him?"

"It's not dealing with it." Xing Yue corrected him, "It's that he is suspected in several cases, so we need to investigate clearly."

"What case?"

"A few days ago, someone escaped from the No. [-] Prison, you should have heard about it?" Xing Yue looked at him.

"Do you suspect that it has something to do with Yuan?" He Kun didn't stop walking.

"Correct."

"Prison escape..." After a pause, He Kun suddenly smiled, stroking the gray stubble on his chin, "This technique is inexplicably familiar."

"What do you mean?" Xing Yue frowned.

He Kun continued to pace leisurely, "I suggest you go back and check. When he was in Mingzhou, not long before he was promoted, someone escaped from Mingzhou Prison."

"Do you think it's a coincidence?"

Xing Yue didn't say a word, guessing his expression.

He Kun stopped opposite him, with a low voice, "If I remember correctly, Zhao Lang was already being targeted at that time, and the one who escaped happened to be a key witness in his case."

"And then?" Xing Yue stared at him.

"Then..." He Kun relaxed and shrugged, "He died."

"He was shot dead on the spot during the roundup."

Xing Yue's hands clenched into fists.

"What else?" He Kun's footsteps moved again, "What else do you want to know?"

"What is the relationship between him and Zhao Lang?"

"what relationship..."

After pondering for a long time, He Kun turned his head and looked at him, "Then I want to ask, what is your relationship with me?"

Xing Yue raised his eyebrows, "I have nothing to do with you!"

The corner of He Kun's mouth moved, ignoring Xing Yue's gaze, and stopped by the window, looking out the window at the already white world, "Then tell me, what is the relationship between me and Xing Yiqing?"

"Don't mention my dad!" Xing Yue was immediately angry.

And He Kun seemed not to have heard his threat at all, with his hands behind his back, he raised his face slightly, "I never gave Xing Yiqing a penny, but he saved my life, which is also equivalent to saving Xionghui's life."

"Then he died and I survived."

"Zhao Lang gave Yuan Guoping a lot of money, so Yuan is willing to protect him, and he will continue to take care of Yuan."

"These two people are living well now."

He turned back and looked at Xing Yue, "This is the relationship between me and Xing Yiqing, and the relationship between Yuan Guoping and Zhao Lang. Do you understand?"

Xing Yue's gaze was as cold as killing someone.

He wasn't shocked, or angry, but sick.

Overwhelming nausea.It was like being forced to drink a mouthful of foul-smelling blood.

After a long time, he took a deep breath, "Do you have evidence?"

And He Kun's gaze became sharp in an instant, and he turned back to the old snake that smelled the prey, "Do you have the guts?"

"nonsense!"

This is simply nonsense.He has almost nothing but guts.

He Kun narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice was hoarse, "Then, do you have any help?"

"Of course." Xing Yue didn't understand what he meant by asking, but Xiang Hai's shadow immediately popped up in his mind, followed by Qin Peng, Zhang Xiaowei, and everyone in the team.He even thought of his teacher.

Because the teacher told them more than once that they would experience all kinds of unimaginable difficulties after becoming a police officer.But never forget that you are not fighting alone, the teacher will always be with you.

He Kun stared at him for a long time, then withdrew his gaze, and returned to his previous dormant appearance.

"When there is news, I will let Xionghui contact you."

The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and it is no longer fine snow particles like salt.Like the flying catkins in early spring, one after another.

That's right, this is it.He finally understood the difference between Xing Yue and Xing Yiqing.

Both of them lacked courage, but at that time, Xing Yiqing was alone.

His position at that time was doomed, those who wanted to help him could not help him, and those who could help him would not help him at all.He can only rely on himself, until finally cornered.

Moreover, back then, Xing Yiqing only solved the case for the sake of solving the case, without much personal emotion involved.But Xing Yue was different.In addition to the so-called "justice", there were clearly many other things in his gaze just now.

"Is there anything else you want to know?" He Kun asked, he felt that that was probably all Xing Yue wanted to ask.

"Yes." Xing Yue looked at his back, "I would like to ask you to check for me whether Yuan Guoping had any sex crime records when he was in Mingzhou."

It's hard to say, but it has to be said.He needs help, and needs to find more evidence in the shortest possible time, especially those pasts that will not be seen in the light.

Please?

He Kun turned around.

"These have nothing to do with Zhao Lang's case, and it has nothing to do with you." Seeing his frown, Xing Yue did not intend to hide it, "This is my personal matter, but it is very important."

"So, I won't let you do this for nothing. Let me tell you how much it costs."

He Kun was taken aback for a moment, then gave a disdainful "sneer", looked him up and down, "Why, are you rich?"

Xing Yue looked away, "You tell me how much you want first, and whether you have it is my business."

He Kun smiled and shook his head, "You policemen... are really interesting."

After standing for a long time, he was a little tired, so he sat back on the recliner again, "Okay, I see, I'll let you know if I have any news."

"It's best to make it clear in advance if there are any conditions."

Free is the most expensive.Xing Yue did not accept this seemingly generous gift.

He Kun simply closed his eyes, crossed his hands on his belly, "Do you think I will use this to blackmail you?"

"Afraid that I will unknowingly become the umbrella of evil forces?"

"You think," he sneered, "you have nothing worth threatening me just based on you now."

"..."

"It would be nice if you could protect all the parts on your body.

At this time, the mobile phone placed aside rang.

He opened his eyes, picked up his mobile phone, and found that Lao Huang had sent a new photo, so he touched the reading glasses and put them on, looking at them intently while saying, "Besides, I'm not some evil force now, I'm a law-abiding citizen , is a typical example of police-civilian cooperation..."

When he found a photo that he was satisfied with, he looked back and forth for a long time, then saved it and changed it to the desktop of his mobile phone, "There are still many pennants hanging in Xionghui's store. You can go and have a look when you are free."

After leaving the gate of the hospital, the snowflakes were still flying.The snow on the ground can already cover the upper of the shoe, and the deep part does not even reach the ankle.

Looking at the phone, there is no news from Xiang Hai.

Xing Yue got into the car, turned on the wipers, and prepared to return to the parking lot.

Today's meeting with He Kun, although the final direction is a bit inexplicable, but the overall goal has been achieved.

Originally, I wanted to ask about the details of Xing Yiqing's case back then, but I always felt that the timing was wrong, so I finally gave up.

The truth will always come to light one day.Perhaps it is the coldest time before dawn, but the sun will always rise, and the ice and snow will eventually melt.

He is willing to wait.

After sitting in the parking lot for almost an hour, a small figure finally appeared in the snow.

The man walked slowly through the snow.When he could barely see the outline, he suddenly squatted down, snored on the ground for a long time, then stood up again, and put something into his pocket.

Xing Yue lay on the steering wheel, looked at the wobbly little man through the car glass, and gradually raised the corners of his mouth.

What is this man doing?

When he got closer, the man stopped not far from the front of the car, smiling and waving towards the car.

Xing Yue pushed the door and got off, "Your bicycle..."

Before he finished speaking, the person on the opposite side shook his hand violently, and a black shadow flew towards him.

"Fuck!" The cold snowball covered his face, and before he could wipe it away, the second and third snowballs hit him.

There was a loud haha ​​sound in his ears, "Brother, your vigilance is too low!"

By the time Xing Yue wiped off the snow on his face, the laughter had drifted far away.

"Xiang Hai, stand there for me!"

"How is it possible?" Xiang Hai laughed wildly, bent down and threw a snowball over.

It's crazy!

Xing Yue simply stopped chasing, and quickly pinched four or five snowballs, aimed at the figure who was walking in a snake shape, and smashed them over.

"Hey hey, it didn't hit!"

Xiang Hai ran wildly around the empty parking lot, the tip of his nose was red from the cold, and big clouds of white air followed closely, as if helping him to soar at any time.

It's so frustrating!

Xing Yue squatted down and started to work again.

Xiang Hai was wary of his sneak attack, looked back while running, and inadvertently kicked a section of the wheel bar buried under the snow with his toe, and threw himself into the snow with an "ouch".

The opportunity is here.

Xing Yue sprinted a few steps, and a vicious dog pounced on him and pinned him down.

Xiang Hai was covered in snow, his hair turned white, his face turned red, he was panting like a carrot buried in the snow.

"Brother, I was wrong!" Seeing that he was going to suffer, he immediately knelt down and apologized.

"Wrong fart!" Xing Yue didn't like this.

He knows him too well, this man is just an apology machine without emotion.Apologize for a disagreement, and refuse to admit it when you turn around.

His sorry is as worthless as his own tears.

"Come on, what should we do?" Xing Yue rode on him and pressed his shoulder.

"You come down first, this is a public place." Xiang Hai snorted at the snow on his head, looked to both sides, "Your posture is, too, too much."

Ok?

Speaking of that, many hot images immediately flashed in Xing Yue's mind, and each frame could overlap with the person lying in the snow in front of him.

The snow is steaming.

"Xiao Hai, do you want me to forgive you?"

"Do not want to."

"Hey, fuck! I want to, I want to!" Xiang Hai took out the snow stuffed into his neck.

Xing Yue leaned closer, "Then you let me...then what, it will be a year."

Xiang Hai stared at his eyelashes with snowdrops, puffed his mouth, "Just, all of a sudden?"

"Fuck!" Xing Yue wanted to beat someone up, "Stop talking nonsense, will it work!"

"Here?" Xiang Hai stared, then glanced to both sides, "Brother, you are too unrestrained, it's not dark yet."

"You fucking..."

Xing Yue couldn't bear it anymore, to be precise, he was stimulated by his messy and shameless question, so he picked him up from the snow, "Go, go home."

Xiang Hai patted the snow on his body, "Why are you going home, didn't you agree to eat hot pot?"

"Don't eat, I'll cook noodles for you when I go back."

"Huh?" Xiang Hai quit, "Why did the hot pot turn into instant noodles?"

"Who is to blame? It's not because of you flirting." Xing Yue pulled his arm and walked towards the car.

Xiang Hai laughed while struggling, "Brother, can you stop being so hungry?"

"Nonsense, I've been fucking horny for thirty years."

"No way, you've been hungry since you were born?"

"Fuck off."

Xing Yue opened the car door, pushed him in, ran around the front of the car by himself, and jumped into the car.

"Brother, I still want to eat hot pot." Xiang Hai took off his gloves and stuffed them into his pocket.

"Tsk, can I take you there after I'm done?" Xing Yue started the car impatiently while coaxing him.

"How long will I have to wait! I'm hungry." Xiang Hai frowned.

"Soon." Xing Yue said perfunctorily, "Oh, that's not right!" Feeling wrong again, "Fuck, don't interrupt!"

Xiang Hai nearly fainted from laughter, "Brother, why are you acting like a big bad wolf?"

"I'm not angry with you." Xing Yue couldn't hold back himself, and laughed out loud.

The wheels creaked over the snow, Xiang Hai rubbed his nose and tilted his head, "Brother, what do you think, you don't even have any equipment, what's the use of running back in a hurry?"

Xing Yue was stunned for a moment, "Oh, don't you have that?"

"Then I bought it."

"Can you lend me one first?" After thinking for a while, "Lend me two."

"Tsk, lend me three."

"..."

Xiang Hai was speechless, "Brother, let's stop comparing this thing."

"It's not what you said, just be realistic."

"Looking back, you are lying there without moving, and you have to order me to bring you tea and water..."

"Xiang Hai!" Xing Yue yelled, "You, you wait for me!"

"Let's see how I'll take care of you later!"
