never forget [criminal investigation]

The New Year is approaching, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere.

The weather was fine that day, so Xing Yue asked the bureau for leave in advance.

In the morning, he drove to the gate of the No. [-] Prison, found a corner and parked, looked up, and his vision just covered the area in front of the gate.

On the way here, he packed a Big Mac package from McDonald's, plus two pairs of chicken wings, and bought a large cup of coffee.

Now he was starving, took out the hamburger and gnawed, and kept his eyes on the prison gate.

During this period of time, he had a very difficult time, his nerves were always in a state of high tension, and he was often busy from dark to dark.

The case at hand, the bureau's affairs, Xiang Hai's affairs, Yuan Guoping's affairs, and his own affairs.

During the period, he also attended Jiang Yuan's funeral.

It was a solemn, solemn and sad funeral.

There are many people who come, and the sight is dark blue.

Almost everyone's eye sockets are red.Some people endured it desperately, while others wept silently.Only one little girl cried the loudest.

Surprisingly, Xing Yue didn't cry himself.

It's not that it's not sad, especially seeing that little girl crying so sadly.

This reminded him of the time when Xing Yiqing died.At any rate, he was an adult at that time, and this little girl seemed to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.

But he just couldn't cry.

Very strange.Before Xiang Hai appeared, he never cried, and after Xiang Hai left, he never shed tears again.It seems that this crying bag attribute was only opened for Xiang Hai.

Shining police badges, unique sirens, and large and small medals, followed the man who could never come back, sank into the earth together, and returned to the pure land he swore to defend.

Everyone including Xing Yue raised their right hands, but the little girl turned her head and threw herself into her mother's arms.

Yes, no amount of medals, no amount of honor, can't replace the father who always gets too close because he is too eager in front of the camera of the mobile phone.

Xing Yue slowly lowered his arms, and said goodbye to him silently in his heart: Goodbye, my comrade in arms.

Afterwards, it is still the old rule that everyone donates money.

Xing Yue donated three copies.One for myself, one for Xiang Hai, and one for Xing Yiqing.

Perhaps in that world, they will not be lonely.

The things that kept him busy were settled one by one, until today, there was only one last thing left to do.

At this time, the mood suddenly relaxed.

So he finally felt sleepy and had a good night's sleep last night.Today I was suddenly very hungry again, and I felt that a set meal was too conservative.

I was stuffing French fries into my mouth when my phone rang suddenly.

He glanced at the screen, swallowed the fries quickly, grabbed a tissue to wipe his hands, and picked up the phone.

"Lawyer Xiao, hello!"

Xiao Chengyu is the lawyer Xing Yue hired for Xiang Hai.As Dongjiang's most famous criminal case lawyer, he is especially good at handling cases with complex backgrounds.

At that time, he found Xiao Chengyu and told the whole story of Xiang Hai's case.Lawyer Xiao said after listening, it is impossible to defend innocence in such a situation.

"I understand." Xing Yue said earnestly, "Lawyer Xiao, I don't expect to be found not guilty, I just hope that the sentence can be shortened to the shortest."

"I see." Lawyer Xiao thought for a while.

"According to the materials you have provided so far, I think... two years is still very promising. But after all, he is a public official, and the other party is also a public official. Whether it can be reduced to six months a year is not guaranteed now. I need to talk to the person first."

"I understand." Xing Yue held his hand tightly, "Thank you, Lawyer Xiao!"

Two years is an acceptable result for him.

"Then let's make an appointment as soon as possible?" Xiao Chengyu asked.

Xing Yue hesitated for a moment, "I still won't go. I'm worried that if I'm here, it will affect the effect of your conversation."

"Oh, it's okay." Xiao Chengyu said it didn't matter, "Then I'll contact you when I get back."

"Thank you!" Xing Yue firmly held his hand again.

Xiao Chengyu's voice came from the phone.He said that he had already met with Xiang Hai, and he was very clear about the background and details of the case.

"Conservatively, two years should be fine," he said. "At the same time, we can strive for a sentence of one year and six months."

"However, you have to be prepared. After all, the background of this case involves Xiang Hai's privacy, and both parties will definitely dig deep into the defense. But there was no third party present at the time, and now it depends on the dictation of the two parties. Whether the court can accept it depends on Whether it can be interpreted as a criminal motive is hard to say. And... this process, it is very difficult not to cause secondary harm to Xiang Hai."

Xing Yue held the phone and listened.When he heard Xiao Chengyu say that he could fight for a year and six months in prison, he almost jumped up.But when he heard the back, his person suddenly raised his heart.

"Well, what about him, what about Xiang Hai, what did he say?"

"I also made this very clear to Xiang Hai. He was very calm and said that there was no problem, and he would try his best to cooperate."

"...Really." Xing Yue's whole body softened again, leaning on the back of the chair, "Then, he looks okay, okay?"

Xiao Chengyu chuckled twice, "In that kind of place, it's definitely not good. However, it seems that he is in good condition. At least he is mentally prepared for what may happen after the trial."

"Oh, that's great..." Xing Yue responded nonchalantly.

Ordinarily this is a good situation, he should be happy, but...

"Lawyer Xiao, did he ask me?"

"No." Xiao Chengyu paused, "But before leaving, he said thank you."

Hearing this, Xing Yue's eye sockets became hot instantly, he quickly covered the microphone, and breathed in desperately.

"Don't worry, I will hurry up and prepare. Don't worry too much."

"Thank you, Lawyer Xiao, thank you!" Xing Yue managed to suppress his emotions, "But Lawyer Xiao, you may not be able to contact me after tomorrow. I will send you the other person's phone number later. If you need anything, just find this person."

"Don't worry, I will pay the lawyer's fee first."

The avatar on the phone was stunned for a moment, but then agreed, "Oh, fine, then you can send it to me."

Xing Yue thanked him again for his help before hanging up the phone.

Afterwards, he sent the contact information of Zhou Xun and Luo Meihua, and told Xiao Chengyu that if it was related to the case, he should contact Zhou Xun, and if the money was not enough, he should contact Luo Meihua.

Having fulfilled this last wish, he let out a long breath.

Two years, okay.

If you perform well, you can get your sentence reduced, and you can come out a few months earlier.Xiang Hai will be less than 25 years old by then, and everything will be in time.

Putting down his phone, he picked up the fries again and chewed them one by one.

After noon, Xing Yue was sitting in the car smoking a cigarette when suddenly the gate of the prison opened.

He sat up straight and watched a black car slowly drive out.

It was Yuan Guoping's car.

He immediately put out the cigarette and started the car.

Yuan Guoping was seriously injured, but after all, he didn't hurt much.I stayed at home for half a month, and when the bruises on my face almost disappeared, I went back to work again.

After all, he is the leader here, and at the end of the year, the desk is full of things.

However, due to physical reasons, these days he usually only stays until noon, at most until the afternoon, and then goes home after he has dealt with the most important matters at hand.

It was the same today, shortly after lunch, he asked the driver to pick him up.

The car was only a few tens of meters away from the gate when the driver noticed a black SUV popping out of nowhere in front of him and hitting his car head-on.

"Fuck!" He couldn't help cursing, and quickly stepped on the brakes, while turning the steering wheel sharply.

The car braked with a "creak", and the SUV on the opposite side also stopped.It was almost impossible to get a hand between the two cars.

The driver was frightened into a cold sweat, and Yuan Guoping in the back seat also flashed enough. The tight seat belt touched the wound, and he grinned in pain, "What's going on!"

The driver hurriedly turned around and explained, "I'm sorry, Warden Yuan, there is a mental illness in front of me, probably because I drank too much. I'll go down and take a look!"

Yuan Guoping gritted his teeth and nodded.

The driver opened the door and got out of the car, and immediately rushed towards Xing Yue's car aggressively, and slammed his fist on the hood, "Fuck! You are fucking sick! How do you drive? Do you have eyes? Can you drive! You Give me..."

While cursing, the car door opened.He stopped talking instantly, and stepped back stiffly, his eyes fixed on the black muzzle of the gun in front of him.

Xing Yue got out of the car, the muzzle of his gun swung aside.

The driver immediately understood, and without looking back at Yuan Guoping, he leaned over from the gun and ran away staggeringly.

Xing Yue didn't even look at him, and put away the gun directly.

Yuan Guoping was so frightened that he almost lost control of his urine in the car.He recognized Xing Yue, and those eyes were colder than the muzzle of a gun.

He hurriedly moved towards the car door on the other side, trying to jump down and escape into the prison gate.Reluctantly, his legs and feet were still not sharp enough, so he only moved a few times, and the door opened.

Xing Yue stood by the car door, tilting his head to look inside.

"You, you, what are you doing!" Yuan Guoping stepped back again, "I tell you, this place is..."

Before he finished speaking, Xing Yue got in, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him out without saying a word.

Yuan Guoping didn't care about the pain, and struggled desperately, "What are you doing! Let me go! Let go!"

"I tell you that there are surveillance everywhere, you, you dare to touch me and try!"

Xing Yue has no time to talk nonsense with him.

His purpose of coming here today is very clear.

He dragged Yuan Guoping on the ground for a few meters, and walked around to a place not far from the rear of the car.There is no shelter there.

Then he let go of his hand, and waited for Yuan Guoping to stand still in fear.

Yuan Guoping panted heavily, adjusted his crooked glasses, and barely stood up straight.

At this time, Xing Yue raised his hand fiercely, and with a "slap", a resounding slap bloomed on Yuan Guoping's face.

Yuan Guoping was fanned several meters away, fell headfirst to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and showed two teeth.

He felt like he was hit by a truck, and his ears were ringing.He was struggling on the ground, his chest tightened, and he was picked up again.

"That hit just now was for Lin Sheng." Xing Yue brought him up in front of him and shook him so that he could look directly at him, "This one was for Jiang Yuan."

After finishing speaking, he slapped his backhand again.

Yuan Guoping fell to the ground at the sound, Gulu went a long way, his head tilted, and he didn't move.

Xing Yue gave a "tsk", returned to his car, and took out a bottle of water.

"Be sober, huh?" He went over and poured a bottle of cold water on Yuan Guoping's face.

It's not okay to play dead, you have to wake up and accept the punishment.

Yuan Guoping woke up in pain, opened his eyes in a daze, but couldn't see anything clearly.

The glasses were lost, the face was swollen, and the eyeballs seemed to be misplaced.

Seeing that he was almost awake, Xing Yue picked him up again.

"Stand up." Xing Yue straightened him up, and at the same time warned, "Don't fucking fall down."

Yuan Guoping was like a dilapidated robot. He didn't understand why he insisted on listening to this person, but he still stood there trembling.

Xing Yue let go of his hand, backed away slowly, glanced at the densely packed cameras on the high wall next to him, and fine-tuned the direction of the two of them.

Hmm, that's a good angle.

He took a deep breath, "This one is for Xiang Hai."

After speaking, he stepped forward and kicked Yuan Guoping between his legs.

Yuan Guoping let out a scream, covered his lower body tightly, fell to the ground, and was completely motionless.

"Fuck, don't get his mother beaten to death." Xing Yue was a little confused, so he went over to test his breath again.

OK, still angry.

He clapped his hands together, turned around and walked back to his car.

After he started the car, the driver who had been hiding behind the tree ran back. Seeing Yuan Guoping's miserable appearance, he started making phone calls frantically.

On the way back, Xing Yue first called Xu Feng.

"Xu Bureau, I beat Yuan Guoping." He confessed directly.

“…”

"Just give him physical castration for a while." He further explained.

"Xing Yue!!!"

Xu Feng's voice made the phone buzz, and Xing Yue felt his blood pressure go up.

"Bureau Xu, don't get angry, and don't ask someone to arrest me. I'll go to the bureau tomorrow morning to surrender, and say goodbye to everyone by the way."

On the other end of the phone, there was only the panting sound of "wheezing and wheezing".

"Xu Bureau, I'm sorry..." Xing Yue bit his lip, "I let you down."

"Feel sorry."

After finishing speaking, before Xu Feng could yell again, he hung up the phone.

He knew that Xu Feng had high expectations of him all along, and he also admitted that it was irresponsible for him to do so.But there is no way, he has to be willful this time.

Then, he called Fang Qiao again.

"Yo ho, Xinggou, you are very sweet today, oh no, you are quite free, finally remembering that there is someone like me?"

Hearing Fang Qiao's eccentricity, Xing Yue suddenly felt very kind, so he tremblingly wanted to hear a few more words.

"Yeah, old Joe, I miss you."

"Get out! What did you do earlier?" Fang Qiao did not disappoint him, "I asked you out in 2017, and now it's 2018. You've been waiting for a long time?"

Xing Yue just laughed.

"Tell me, did Xiang Hai just think of me after he dumped you?"

"Let me tell you, Lao Xing, the friendship between us is pure and straight, no matter how empty, lonely, or cold you are, don't expect me to comfort you..."

"Get out! Fuck!" Xing Yue finally couldn't take it anymore.

Fang Qiao began to giggle strangely.

Xing Yue pursed his lips when he finished laughing.

"Old Joe, I... want to ask you something."

"There is something to say and fart."

He talked about Xiang Hai's matter and his next plan, "Let's just leave the house I live in now, and I will transfer the two-year rent to you later, and you will hand it over to the landlord for me. She doesn't plan to rent it anymore, so let's talk about it."

After he finished speaking, Fang Qiao remained silent for a long time.

"Old Joe?"

Only then did Fang Qiao "cough", "Did I hear it right? Huh? You fucking say it again?"

"I said, put the rent for the next two years first..."

"Get out!!" Fang Qiao yelled, "You idiot!!"

After yelling, he hung up the phone.

Xing Yue was still in a daze, but he called back again, "Xing Yue, are you fucking joking?"

"No."

"..."

"Then are you fucking sick?" Fang Qiao's voice trembled, "Are you fucking sick!"

"Are you sick!!!"

"Old Joe..."

"Don't fucking call me!"

Xing Yue found a vacant seat on the side of the road and stopped the car.

"Old Joe, I have to do this, I can't leave Xiang Hai alone."

"You also know that a place like a prison... with Xiang Hai's identity, his personality, and..." He couldn't continue.

"He can't survive two years. Even if he survives, he will be ruined. He is still so young..."

He took a sharp breath. "He's my family and I love him. I can't leave him alone."

"Old Joe, I hope you can help me this time."

Fang Qiao remained silent until she hung up the phone a few minutes later.

Xing Yue sighed for a long time, rubbed his face again, and was about to restart the car when the phone dinged.

He clicked to see.

- Lao Xing, I fucking love you too.Don't forget me.

Only then did Xing Yue raise the corners of his lips.

- can't forget.

How could I forget it.

Then he went to He Kun's hospital and the home of the old director.

I went to He Kun because I had something to ask him for help; when I went to see the old director and Aunt Liu, I naturally explained the next thing clearly, and asked the old couple to pay attention to their health and take good care of themselves during this time.

The result can be imagined.

After hearing this, He Kun directly called him an idiot, and said that he would definitely regret it in the future.

But Aunt Liu cried and chased her out, but was persuaded by him to go back.

When it came to Luo Meihua, the process was similar.After he finished speaking, Luo Meihua was stunned for a long time.

"Xing Yue, do you really want to do this?"

"Yes." He lowered his head.

Everyone else is fine, but Xing Yue is still very sorry for Luo Meihua.After all, she was still sick, and if she left like this, she didn't even have a relative by her side, so what would she do if something unexpected happened?

"Mom, I'm sorry, I can't take care of you during this time. You have to listen to the doctor's advice, get regular check-ups, take your medicine well, don't... don't always go into a dead end."

As he said that, he took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it over, "I still have some money in my hand, put it in yours, and take it when you need it. The password is my birthday, which is 89..."

"I know." Luo Meihua interrupted him, but did not pick up the card.

Xing Yue rubbed his nose and put the card on the sofa table.

"Xing Yue," Luo Meihua looked at his face carefully, feeling that he had never looked at him so carefully in the past twenty years.

He is very handsome, very similar to Xing Yiqing when he was young, but...

"Why are you more stupid than your father?"

Xing Yue was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "No."

Later, the two of them didn't speak any more, just sat in silence for a while, Xing Yue stood up, "Mom, then I'm leaving."

Luo Meihua also stood up and followed him towards the door.

When he was about to go out, he finally called him again.

"Xiao Yue?"

Xing Yue turned his head abruptly.

"You have to take care of yourself too, mom is waiting for you when you come back."

The last one to bid farewell was of course Xing Yiqing.

It was almost dusk, and the setting sun melted gold.The silent cemetery is still cold, but the afterglow of the setting sun still adds a layer of warmth to Xing Yiqing's tombstone.

Xing Yue cleaned up the snow and knelt down in front of the tomb on one knee.But after holding back for a long time, I don't know what to say.

Xing Yiqing looked at him, and he also looked at Xing Yiqing, silent to each other.

After a long time, he stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered Xiang Hai's appearance that day.

So he straightened his back, stood at attention, knocked his heels, and saluted Xing Yiqing in an extremely standard manner.

"Dad, I'm no longer a cop from tomorrow. Will you understand me?"

Am I still your pride?

When Xing Yue returned home, it was already dark.

He ordered a takeaway and started cleaning up the house after eating.

He put Xiang Hai's things in order, and then tidied up his own things, and finally watered Xiang Hai's flowers again.

He left a set of keys to this house for Luo Meihua, and asked her to come and take a look when she was free, and help Xiang Hai water the flowers.

He folded the clean clothes and put them in the closet. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his big box of gift bags.

More than 200 condoms, still a bit much...

When was the last time you were with Xiang Haina?he recalled.

If he knew that the next round would be two years away, he would definitely work harder.

"Ugh."

He sighed, and regretfully pushed the gift bag deep into the closet.

The house was almost cleaned up, he went around twice, inside and out, and finally took out his police uniform.

To be honest, until now, he still couldn't explain why he insisted on being a policeman.He loves the job, but it doesn't mean he can't do it without being a police officer.

But it wasn't until he made that decision and realized that he could no longer support the blue dress in this life that he felt a great pain in his heart, as if a part of himself was peeling off along with the uniform.

So he put on the police uniform and hat for the last time, and took a selfie with a straight face.

Then I posted the last circle of friends as a people's policeman.

"Goodbye, my blue coat."
