Chapter 1 01 The Cooling Bed
--There is light in the darkness because of her.
--
It took one year and ten months, more than 670 days, to return to the western district inspection.In the late summer afternoon, the sun was hot and dazzling. Huang Shimu took off his glasses, and the surrounding scenery remained the same as before, and this was the second time he had transferred from a remote location.
Almost calling Minister Jiang Yuanzhe again, he bowed politely: "Prosecutor General."
"Oh, you're here. This is Captain Li Hexian of the Gangnam Police Station's Serious Crime Division. Let's say hello! This time, the special search team is led by Captain Li, with you as the assistant. There will be a meeting at the level of ministers and above in a while, and let him talk to you first." Go through the case."
There is no extra nonsense, Huang Shimu is very used to such a short, flat, quick and direct approach, but this Captain Li - he is observing the man in his 40s in front of him, and he needs to do a cross background investigation with other team members.
"Do you still want to apply for special search team members? The local inspection or police system can help you transfer people."
Huang Shimu declined: "No need." Jiang Yuanzhe was surprised by the quick response. He thought that the cooperation with the special search last time was very pleasant, especially the guard Han Ruzhen, who was able to deal with the thousand-year-old poisonous snake Huang Shimu, "Boy, have you figured it out?"
"Yes."
The chief prosecutor sighed, but there was still nothing he could do about it, "Then do it well and don't embarrass me, you understand."
"Yes."
"Your office has been prepared at the central district inspection and can be started at any time. As for a place to live, do you have one?"
The lease of his house hasn't expired yet, where does he live... Huang Shimu thought of the invitation to Han Jingwei's summer bed before he left, which was just a passing thought, and he shook his head.
"The dormitory or the hotel apartment?"
"It's closer to the office."
"You bastard, do you want to appear that others are not dedicated enough? The hotel apartment is just opposite, and I'll ask someone to book one for you until this special search operation is over."
"Yes, please arrange it."
The chief prosecutor sent the two of them out of the room, stared at Huang Shimu again, and sighed: "You haven't changed after all, which may be a good thing for us. Do it well."
Huang Shimu wanted to say hello to Chief Jin and Secretary Cui, but it was inconvenient to be with Captain Li with his luggage, so it had to be next time.
"Ah, prosecutor, you are even more handsome than you looked on TV two years ago! How could there be such nonsense in the rumors at that time?" Captain Li, holding the information box, is a cheerful uncle with squinting eyes, but don't underestimate him. His many years of police career allowed him to find out the other party's bottom line with a few words.Huang Shimu didn't answer the call, and looked down at the briefing in the file folder while walking, and asked after a while: "Do you know how to get to the Central District Inspection from here?".Captain Li stopped talking knowingly, "I'll drive, take your time."
The special search office assigned by the Central Procuratorate is smaller than the previous one, and the importance of this case cannot be compared with the previous one.In the name of special search, it was actually the chief prosecutor who arranged for Huang Shimu to be transferred back to Seoul.
When everyone is ready, there is a round of self-introduction first. In addition to Captain Li and a guard Park, the other two members are drawn from the local area. Like him, they are elites who will be transferred back to Seoul in the future and will be entrusted with important tasks.
"Good afternoon, my name is Jiang Donghuan. I used to work as an assistant to the department chief at the Southern District Prosecutor of Busan. I just passed the judicial examination. Please take care of me."
"Hi everyone, I'm Cheng Enyou from the Gwangju District Prosecutor's Office, and I hope to become a reliable partner!" The female prosecutor in uniform glanced at Huang Shimu, and he nodded in response.Trustworthy partner, these words reminded him of Yong Enxiu, next Tuesday will be her second anniversary...
"Is it up to me? My name is Pu Shimin, and I am the policeman in charge of this case. If you have any questions about the scene records, you can contact me."
Huang Shimu took out his mobile phone to turn it off, then sat down and started working.He looked up occasionally, and felt that the scene seemed familiar, but the people around him had changed.
The clock was flying, and the first day's work continued from two o'clock to 09:30. Everyone was already hungry, and Police Officer Park couldn't help it: "Well, do you want to have a dinner together on the first day to connect with each other? We still have to rely on shochu." This suggestion was immediately echoed by everyone.
"Sorry, I won't go." Everyone looked at Huang Shimu, he hesitated for a moment and softened his tone: "You go first, I will try my best."
Captain Li and Police Officer Park didn't push anymore, Cheng Jian looked a little disappointed, and deliberately approached him to pull his arm, "Huang Jian, let's go together~"
Huang Shimu remained polite, and gently withdrew his arm, without looking up at her, "Sorry, leave me alone, I can't get away here."
Cheng Jian felt a little embarrassed, and pressed his laptop willfully, "It's only the first day, how can there be so many materials to read..." Huang Shimu supported the screen with his hands and raised his eyes to look at her coldly.Cheng Jian consciously made a slip of the tongue, forced a smile to explain away, "Just kidding, then we'll wait for you."
Without even a polite response, Cheng Enyou came out with an unhappy expression on his face, "I heard that Prosecutor Huang's character is a bit out of place, but I didn't expect that he has no human touch."
Officer Park joked, "Our wish to become a prosecutor is written all over our faces."
"You're so good at joking, how can I have any wish." Cheng Enyou said with a forced smile. There are always more men than women in the inspection court. A beauty like her has always been admired by the stars, and there are many who are boring and courteous. Such a cold face This is the first time.
Just because it was the first day, there were so many relationships involved in the case, he had to sort out a rough outline first.Prosecutor Huang Shimu, who didn't care at all that he had hurt a woman's heart, looked at his watch again and it was already 12:30 in the evening.
According to the address given by the Attorney General's Secretary, he found a hotel apartment near the Central District Procuratorate without even driving the car.Intelligent front desk, password check-in.After entering the door, turn on the light and put down the suitcase, and take a shower to refresh the mind.Looking around, this place is very good, much better than the open-air cool bed.At this moment, his stomach woke up from the high concentration and protested, but at this time, there was no need to go to eat alone. He leaned on the bed and turned out the last few pages of materials, and fell asleep after reading. go.
It was the same in the next few days, maybe it was a long time since he had encountered such a major economic case, and his work intensity had completely conquered the members of the same group.Even I seemed to ask myself with a hint of mockery, do I really want to be reinstated so much?Can't bear the hardships of the South China Sea?Even Nanhai is not so poor that there is only one cool bed left to sleep on.
When the case was making great progress, Huang Shimu did not expect to report and asked for a three-hour vacation on Tuesday afternoon.
"Is there something wrong with your health? Go to the hospital?" Guard Park, who is keen on health preservation, often persuades Huang Shimu to eat on time, saying that his stomach will go wrong sooner or later if he doesn't pay attention.
"No, something personal. I'll be back soon." He nodded to Captain Li and left in a hurry without even taking his bag.
There was no one in the cemetery, and he quickly found Enxiu's bright and smiling eyes.The forget-me-nots on both sides of the photo are placed in spotless glass bottles. Chief Yong and his wife must have been here early in the morning. As for Han Jingwei and Chief Kim, they must have been here too.
Eun-soo is not his first trainee prosecutor, but he is the bravest, hardest-working, most persistent and serious one, and in a sense, the best one.If she hadn't done too many little tricks for her family, if she had a little more understanding of this dangerous world, if her so-called mentor or senior could trust her more and be more patient with her, she wouldn't be just a picture here. Black and white photos too.
Thinking of this, Huang Shimu suppressed the apology and sadness in his heart, and silently saluted the photo.The dead are gone, and the living will continue to fight to replace the part that Yong Enxiu failed to complete.
Another week flew by, the case came to an end, and Wednesday afternoon, just as the sun was setting.Huang Shimu has just obtained evidence from a club in the central district, which is only one street away from Longshan District.He glanced around casually, and just happened to recognize the person sitting on the second floor of the coffee shop facing the street in front of him as Han Ruzhen! He hadn't seen her for more than a year, and she was still thin, bright, and in high spirits. The man opposite said something , she bent her eyes with a smile, reached out and patted the other person's shoulder several times.
It should be very painful. Huang Shimu thought of the times he had endured. He was very angry when he was fishing for his mobile phone by the riverside.He didn't expect Xu Dongzai to see through his arrangement easily, he didn't expect Officer Han to be humiliated in the street because of this, and he didn't expect that she would go directly into the water to get the phone to make up for it.Mingming was so slender that he was almost untenable by waves of icy river water, and he smiled nonchalantly, telling Zhang Jian: "That one over there doesn't care about these things!"
He has never felt so wronged before. He can take it calmly when he is accused by the police of being a murderer or Li Changjun says that he is only for climbing, but he just doesn't want to be pushed away by her deliberately understating it.
Huang Shimu looked at his watch. It was [-]:[-], which was long after get off work time. There was no reason why she couldn't be here.
Just thinking about Ruzhen walking out of the gate, he took out the car key from his coat pocket and threw it skillfully to the man, who took it and turned around to pick up the car in the back alley.A fleeting figure, slightly long hair, loose linen pants, tall and broad shoulders, brother?acquaintance?friend?He doesn't look like a police officer, so he's the subject of investigation?Maybe she is working on a case, so it's better not to disturb her.
Huang Shimu had already opened the car door with one hand, and was still hesitating whether to take the initiative to say hello. Ruzhen had already seen him sharply, and ran over with a surprised face: "Hey, I am not dreaming in broad daylight, Huang Jian, why are you here?" Here? I guess there is a case, right! What kind of case? Criminal? Could it be a special prosecution!" The series of questions were still as quick as ever.
As soon as Huang Shimu remembered the practice of smiling, he smelled a faint smell of cologne. He couldn't laugh, so he replied politely: "I'm here on a business trip today."
"Forensics? A meeting?" She blinked her round eyes curiously, and stopped before he could answer, "Hey, I asked too many questions. Anyway, it's good to see that you are still so energetic."
"Yeah." He pursed his lips and replied, worried that he would not be as enthusiastic as ordinary people when they reunited after a long absence, "So is Officer Han." He thought, she didn't mention the matter of the bed anymore.
Han Ruzhen said with a smile: "It won't hinder your work. When you have free time, ask everyone out and join us, huh?" She made a gesture of drinking.
"When I'm free..." He frowned. The case will be closed and reported tomorrow, and if there is no accident, he must rush back to Nanhai in the afternoon to be a public prosecutor.
"Hey--" Ru Zhen just wanted to complain about his expression.
drip...
Ruzhen's car came out of the alley and stopped at the intersection, and the cars behind them honked their horns one by one.
"Ah, you can't park here, let's go first, and then contact me." She waved and smiled apologetically, and turned to get in the car.
"What's the matter, did you meet a difficult guy? Why this expression." Yuan Taezhe asked while driving.
"Heh, he's a difficult antonym." Han Ruzhen said angrily. Huang Shimu hasn't had a phone call in almost two years. He sent a text message during the holidays, and he replied politely. Today is certainly not the first time he has come to Seoul, but he has never contacted him. .However, I don't know if he will still have a headache, Ruzhen pursed his lips, with undisguised worry on his face.
"So it's someone I know, who is it? There's something wrong with you." Yuan Tae-cheol glanced at her and smiled cunningly.
Ruzhen got used to his glib tongue and ignored him, the car sped past Huang Shimu.Huang Shimu watched her go away and came back to his senses. The evidence he just found was the last missing piece of the puzzle in this case. He took out his mobile phone and called Captain Li, "It's me, the evidence is here, just as we thought Can you and Officer Park go to the scene now and confirm it again? Also, please send me the relevant information of the account, Jiang Jian and Cheng Jian, and I will go to the witness again."
After recording the statement, it was already [-]:[-], and he sent out the materials to the group. Only Jiang Jian replied immediately, and the other team members had probably gone home. He also wanted to go back to the Central District Prosecutor to sort out all the materials, and the case could be closed perfectly. up.But when he drove to the destination, it turned out to be the western prefectural police in the night, and not far away was the orange tent car that he often went home to eat on the way.
Originally wanted to leave, his stomach immediately greeted him as if seeing an old friend.I stopped and sat down, ordered a bowl of udon, thought about it, and added a bottle of shochu.
Huang Shimu's drinking experience is limited, but he has no record of getting drunk. What is his drinking capacity, a bottle or a case?He has no idea.Today's ramen was a bit salty, and after finishing the bill, the proprietress asked the proprietress to bring him a bottle.The car couldn't be opened, so I took a taxi and reported an address that was tumbling deep in my memory.
Han Ru really didn't expect that the second meeting was only a few hours later, and it was still at the door of her house, and the figure carrying the bag under the street lamp was still a little hunchbacked.Eyelashes and the bridge of the nose cast sculptural shadows, all the more youthful because of the thinness.
"Oh, Prosecutor Huang? Why are you here? What's the matter?" She smelled faintly of alcohol, and she couldn't believe it.
Huang Shimu looked at him with a half-smile, and before he could answer, he saw the man he saw in the afternoon come out.
"Ruzhen, I'm going back first, ah, isn't this the one I met just now? Hello, I'm Yuan Tae-cheol, Ruzhen's boyfriend ah--" Before finishing speaking, Ruzhen was hit With a heavy elbow, "Okay, okay, it's Faxiao." One second he was clutching his stomach with a pained face, and the next second, Huang Shimu stretched out his hand with a smile like nothing happened, and Ru Zhen stared He glanced at him, and he quickly retracted his hand in fright.
"Huang Jian, I'm sorry. Wait for me a moment, I'm right here, please wait a moment!" Ru really felt bad, and had to get Taizhe away before he could say anything more explosive.He grabbed his arm and dragged him ten meters away from the gate before letting go.
"Why are you so nervous? Who is that person? Why does he look familiar? If you weren't a policeman, I wouldn't let you go at ease." Taizhe was still chattering in a low voice.
"Ah, can you stop talking. Go away, or I'll call Xuexi."
"Okay, okay, we'll interrogate you together when Xuexi comes back." Stretched out two fingers and tapped her on the head, and walked away with resentment.
Ruzhen turned around and came back, smiling a bit awkwardly: "My friend from childhood, it's only because we are too familiar with each other. Do you have anything to do with me? Go up and talk about it."
Huang Shimu witnessed the scene just now, and didn't ask anything, just took Zhenlu out of his bag and shook it.
Ruzhen laughed and said: "What, where did the sun come out? Huang Jian, you made a mistake and got fired!" Just as he was talking, he suddenly remembered that he had let him stay when he came to Seoul. Is this wood serious?But let's take it seriously, at worst, she will go back to the police station to make do for the night.
"I really can't tell you're so stingy," she murmured with a smile, "How nice it is to live in a hotel. With such a high rent, I must have saved a lot of money."
"Yeah." Huang Shimu didn't refute. He hasn't thought about why he came here for no reason.
The two went upstairs, Huang Shimu waited on the terrace, arms folded, watching the busy traffic in the distance. "Please come in. You're welcome, it's not the first time you've come." Ruzhen said.
He said as usual: "Excuse me." After changing his shoes and coming in, the room smelled of the cologne left by the man just now.There is no major change in the rest. It is still a bed, a table, a pillow, and a teacup. When washing hands, I saw a toothbrush alone.Although there are no cups and plates on the dining table, there are still oil stains from the meal that have not been wiped clean.There are several more paintings on the wall than before, and the painting skills are still so hard to describe.
Beside the table stood a framed oil painting, small in size but striking enough that everything around it seemed to lose its splendor by comparison.The painting is a portrait of Ruzhen. Although Huang Shimu doesn't know much about art, it can be seen that the painter really understands Ruzhen so that he can paint her delicate and warm background. Her eyes are calm and the light in her eyes is painted. Soft and colorful like a firefly, with soft and moist lips, and loose strands of hair hanging by the ears.Her fragility and strength are precisely balanced somewhere, and not just anyone can feel it.He instinctively avoided looking, but that scene was etched in his mind for a long time.
The technique of this painting is proficient, and the level is far above the word "professional". It is definitely not something that Han Jingwei can draw by himself.He picked up a brochure on the table: Contemporary artist Yuan Tae-chul will hold a solo exhibition at Ting Art Museum next month.The envelope next to it looks like an invitation.See the personal introduction on the second cover: Graduated from Seoul National University of the Arts, the creative track has traveled all over Europe and South America, and now lives in the United States.Huang Shimu thought, Han Jingwei's friend can draw so well, is it because his talent is greater than his enthusiasm?
Ruzhen came out of the kitchen with some side dishes, "Can you bring me two cushions, thank you!"
The two sat down and had a drink first, "Ah, what a joy." Ruzhen said with emotion, as expected, the taste of wine after ten o'clock is different, and suddenly I want to eat barbecue. "After speaking, the two of them simultaneously remembered the only garden party held by the special search team, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
"Last week, did you go to the Yongjian?" Ruzhen looked him straight in the eyes, as if he was interrogating a suspect.
"Yeah." He nodded honestly and saw Ru Zhen showing a satisfied smile, but the smile didn't last long, "Li Yunfan was released last year, you know."
"Well, this is also expected. Section Chief Yu dare not bite him." He poured wine for Ruzhen.
"Chief Yu died in a prison fight. Everyone knows what happened. When Li Yunfan came out, I was really desperate. It seemed that all our efforts were in vain. But then I Going to see Section Chief Yin, he still hasn't given up, and I shouldn't have such thoughts."
Huang Shimu's expression changed slightly when he heard her say that he went to see Section Chief Yin again. He couldn't think of anyone like Han Jingwei who could truly see through humanity and crime and then return it with tenderness. Maybe only a woman can do it.
"Cheers." He took another sip, "How is it after the promotion, how are you doing?" Only then did he remember that it was not a guard but a police officer.
"Wow, I'm really touched to hear you ask this question. But it's not good at all. There are fewer opportunities to go to the scene. It's just paperwork, but I still handled a few decent cases a while ago. Where is Prosecutor Huang? Life in Nanhai How about it?"
"The interpersonal relationship is simple, and the case is not that complicated."
"What about the headache? Have you ever had any pain after that?" Ru Zhen looked at him.
Under the light at this moment, your real face is close at hand, and every detail is just like the one depicted in that painting.Are you drunk?Huang Shimu asked himself why the air seemed to freeze, and it seemed that it could cause a wave of fluctuations in the blink of an eye.
"It's okay." His voice also lowered a little bit, and he couldn't resist the drowsiness for a while, and he said forcefully, "I'm used to it."
"Is this something you need to get used to?" Ru Zhen was a little anxious, "You have to go to the hospital if you have a headache, what should you do if you faint again while driving or at a high place?"
"It won't happen if there is no major event," he didn't want to continue this topic in this atmosphere, "Is Li Yunfan doing anything after he comes out?"
"Not yet, he is busy with the sea reclamation project.--You mean revenge? You are right to think so, this time he stumbled, and he will not let us off so easily. Especially you, you are definitely falling for him Blacklist, be careful."
Huang Shimu still looked disapproving, "I don't think he has the time to manage us now. After Li Changjun's death, his power has been damaged a lot. It is not so easy to establish a new and reliable channel." The soju in the cup drank At this moment, he began to enjoy a little bit of sleepiness mixed with drunkenness. This kind of conversation made him feel at ease, as if he could continue talking endlessly.
After drinking the shochu, Ruzhen took out a few bottles of beer from the refrigerator, "Do you want to drink?"
Huang Shimu hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the cup.
They talked about Huang Shimu's case in the South China Sea, the impeachment of the president a while ago, and the two talked about the gray areas that Li Yunfan may be involved in from the case review. Ru Zhen felt that the complicated information that people usually get from the media is just the tip of the iceberg.
"Oh, by the way, do you have a case for this business trip? Do you need a confidential case?" Ruzhen asked with interest, completely unaware of the change in Huang Shimu's state.
Huang Shimu nodded solemnly, and when he saw Ruzhen opposite him immediately looked like a child whose toy had been robbed, with his mouth pouted and his face full of frustration, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Ah, it's almost there, you are practicing." Ruzhen was also very happy, "It seems that the gift I gave you was not in vain."
"Hey Yigu, don't you really want to change your habit of giving gifts? Wouldn't it be better to just be a criminal policeman?" Huang Shimu still complained and peeked at Ruzhen's reaction.
"Ah, you saw the painting inside!" Ru was really a little embarrassed, "Ah that, I didn't draw that one. But in fact, I was very good at drawing when I was young, cough cough, what kind of expression do you have! "
Huang Shimu has an innocent face, what expression can he have.
Ru Zhen rolled his eyes and continued, "The teacher also said that I have talent, but learning to paint is too expensive. For my family background, let's forget it. Tae-cheol, Yuan Tae-cheol, have you heard of it? Just now The guy you saw, regardless of his appearance, is actually very powerful, and the painting inside is his masterpiece. This is not another painting exhibition that will open next month."
"Will that painting also be exhibited?"
"No, no, after all, he is still a public servant. I asked him to take the painting back. Although it is placed with me, the painting is still his. He would not give it to me. Fortunately, he is not like me. Hey, it will be auctioned later. I sold it for a huge price, so I don’t know if I will share some of it.”
"auction?"
"One day, when I retire, maybe I can buy the paintings back. I don't know if the pension is enough."
"How did you want to be a policeman?" Huang Shimu asked.
"Why, have you started filming Love in the Mainland?" Ruzhen smiled, "Oh, Huang Jian, are you drunk? You talk a lot when you're drunk."
Huang Shimu also felt that he was a bit out of line, and asked too abruptly, "I'm sorry..."
"I was brought up by my grandparents and neighbors. When I was young, my parents had a car accident, but I have all the other children. My grandma's family opened a comic book shop. I think I also wanted to draw comics, but the most I want is Be a police officer, uphold justice, and protect ordinary people in our country who have no power and power."
Huang Shimu lowered his head, concealing the change in his expression, raised his glasses and touched them silently. He couldn't judge what to say in this situation, but his eyes raised and lowered intentionally or unintentionally.
"Oh, I've run out of beer, it's getting late." Ruzhen looked at his watch, and the two of them were drinking and chatting slowly, and it was almost 12 o'clock, "You should live here today, it's about [-] minutes away from the western district inspection. close."
"No need. I'll call a taxi and it'll be here right away." He shook his phone.
"You have to have a destination when calling a taxi, right? Only now do you want to find a hotel? The hotels in the city center were full at the recent International Urban Development Conference." Ruzhen got up and began to clear the table, "Don't worry, I won't call you really Sleeping here. If you sleep with your mouth crooked, you will not be responsible for the rest of your life." She pouted towards the room, "You can sleep in it. I will go to the office, just a few steps away..."
"No, my apartment is not far away." Huang Shimu stood up feeling dizzy.
Ruzhen saw that his expression was different, "What's the matter? Are you okay? Hey, don't be brave, Jing Huan and his grandma have both lived with me, what's the matter--" She immediately reacted, "The apartment you live in ?”
"The hotel apartment opposite the Central Prosecutor's Office." For the first time, he felt a little flustered, and began to think about how he told the first lie and why he didn't apply for Han Weiwei to join the team in front of the prosecutor. On purpose, was it on purpose?What are you avoiding again?
"Central District Prosecutor? Is it a special procurator? Why not..." Ru Zhen almost blurted out his questioning, with disappointment and complaints that could not be concealed in her tone, but she immediately restrained herself and calmed down, she did not blame him for his position, " No wonder it's a confidential case." With a resentful tone, he lowered his head and continued to clear the table.
Seeing that she was angry, Huang Shimu opened his mouth to justify or comfort her. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't figure out what he was feeling. Finally, he silently picked up his coat and loosened his tie, "Thank you for the hospitality, I'm leaving."
Ru was so angry that she laughed, why did this person run away like a child in trouble, she called Huang Shimu, "Wait." She entered the room and put on a coat, "I'll take you down."
This decision was really wise and powerful. Huang Shimu felt that his legs were not in control as soon as he took two steps.Full of remorse for drinking so much, I don't know what the next day's hangover will be like.It was because he made a serious mistake, and the work has not been completely finished, so why did he relax for a while.He waved his hand and rejected Ru Zhen, who helped him walk over to get into the car. He was still a little conscious when he said the address, and vaguely heard someone asking him for the password in his ear.
Then nothing is known.
In the morning, beep, beep, the alarm clock on the mobile phone rings from 06:30 to [-]:[-].Huang Shimu sat up with a splitting headache and found himself back in the apartment lying on the bed with his tie askew to one side, his clothes still at work, covered with a quilt, and hangover medicine, painkillers, canned coffee and a glass of water on the bedside. Besides, not a single word was left.
When I got out of the shower, the mirror of the washstand was fogged up, and suddenly I found a grimace left on it, in the pose of Mona Lisa, but pouted and laughed.
Finally, I received another gift.
Huang Jian took a picture with his mobile phone before the fog disappeared.
--
It was already two o'clock when Han Ruzhen came home, brushed his teeth, washed his face and lay down on the bed, remembering that the taxi driver said just now, Miss, my boyfriend is so drunk, watch carefully, don't let him spit in my car.
She was also afraid, so she agreed.Huang Shimu's head kept sliding against her shoulders, and she had to help his head up every time she turned right, and then up again. It was like fog, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
It turns out that this guy's drinking capacity is really only a little bit.I really can't let him drink it next time, I blame myself for forgetting about his brain surgery, and now I have to send Buddha to the West.Fortunately, Huang Shimu was just delirious, not completely incapacitated.She paid the taxi fare and helped him into the apartment. It took a lot of effort to figure out the access control code. In the end, she even used her interrogation skills. She couldn't help laughing, Huang Shimu, did you receive any special agent training when you were a soldier?If I wasn't a policeman, you'd have to sleep on the street tonight, you know?
Set him up to lie down, adjust the temperature and humidity of the air conditioner, and loosen his tie to the side so that he can breathe freely.
Huang Shimu was still frowning.Ru Zhen sighed, and ran to the convenience store to buy anti-alcohol medicine.Before I left, I wanted to write a sticky note, but I suddenly became playful. I went into the bathroom, wet my fingers with hand sanitizer, and drew a few strokes on the mirror.Nodding in satisfaction, he turned off the light and said to the darkness of the room:
"Good night, Prosecutor Huang, Nan Hai and the Special Prosecutor have worked hard. Be sure to call me next time."
The author has something to say:
notes:
Almost all of Huang Shimu's attitudes are the result of his thinking and choices.
I have been hurt by my parents since I was conscious, and it can even be called betrayal, and getting along with my peers and teachers at school is almost all bad memories.The fear, disgust, disgust or indifference of the people around him when he has an attack in a public place, he grew up in such an environment.
But no matter before or after the operation, his cognitive ability is very good, so it can be speculated that he should have read a lot of books for reasons such as distraction or curiosity. Most of the books advocate kindness, justice, order, Reality constructs his rationality and logic.The book also advocates beauty, happiness, harmony, and joy, which he has hardly experienced, and even less after the operation.He just knows that such existence is good, but he has never really experienced it himself.Even if his own feelings are incomplete, the objective world in his cognition is complete, justice should triumph over evil, good people should not be wronged, weak people should not be bullied, smart minds are attractive, sense of humor is lovely, husband and wife He should never leave, parents should love and support their children unconditionally, and he has all these positive concepts.But he is not as optimistic as ordinary people, because of his own experience and the darkness he saw after he became an adult, it can be said that he is discouraged.Just like a child will feel that all his mistakes are due to his own badness, and his mother will be sad and angry, but when he grows up, he realizes that his parents did not give him unconditional love. Even if they don't forgive, they have to understand.
In fact, Huang Shimu has been persisting in the dark, waiting for someone who can really feel the warmth again, and because of his sequelae, it seems that this waiting is futile.He should have been tormented by this paradox all the time.
Therefore, to him, the sophistication of the world is a simple thing, and it doesn't matter.There are no more than two reasons for ordinary people to manage human relationships. The first is to make themselves feel integrated, comfortable, and warm emotionally.The second is for the exchange of interests.
Huang Shimu's ability is so strong that in general, he can handle it by himself without having to communicate with others. Even if he wants to exchange benefits, he may use a direct method, not fake.
And he doesn't need emotional comfort that much, or in other words, he rarely arouses warm and aimless responses from others in his natural state, and he doesn't take the initiative to pretend to be courteous because of emotional needs.
In his continuous practice, this state of being completely unconnected with people is feasible.It also saves him time, and at the same time, the possible negative impact on ordinary people is ineffective for him.
But he is always observing the people around him, and has always maintained a high degree of sensitivity to his surroundings.And put every move of the people around you into your own value system to make judgments.
--
It took one year and ten months, more than 670 days, to return to the western district inspection.In the late summer afternoon, the sun was hot and dazzling. Huang Shimu took off his glasses, and the surrounding scenery remained the same as before, and this was the second time he had transferred from a remote location.
Almost calling Minister Jiang Yuanzhe again, he bowed politely: "Prosecutor General."
"Oh, you're here. This is Captain Li Hexian of the Gangnam Police Station's Serious Crime Division. Let's say hello! This time, the special search team is led by Captain Li, with you as the assistant. There will be a meeting at the level of ministers and above in a while, and let him talk to you first." Go through the case."
There is no extra nonsense, Huang Shimu is very used to such a short, flat, quick and direct approach, but this Captain Li - he is observing the man in his 40s in front of him, and he needs to do a cross background investigation with other team members.
"Do you still want to apply for special search team members? The local inspection or police system can help you transfer people."
Huang Shimu declined: "No need." Jiang Yuanzhe was surprised by the quick response. He thought that the cooperation with the special search last time was very pleasant, especially the guard Han Ruzhen, who was able to deal with the thousand-year-old poisonous snake Huang Shimu, "Boy, have you figured it out?"
"Yes."
The chief prosecutor sighed, but there was still nothing he could do about it, "Then do it well and don't embarrass me, you understand."
"Yes."
"Your office has been prepared at the central district inspection and can be started at any time. As for a place to live, do you have one?"
The lease of his house hasn't expired yet, where does he live... Huang Shimu thought of the invitation to Han Jingwei's summer bed before he left, which was just a passing thought, and he shook his head.
"The dormitory or the hotel apartment?"
"It's closer to the office."
"You bastard, do you want to appear that others are not dedicated enough? The hotel apartment is just opposite, and I'll ask someone to book one for you until this special search operation is over."
"Yes, please arrange it."
The chief prosecutor sent the two of them out of the room, stared at Huang Shimu again, and sighed: "You haven't changed after all, which may be a good thing for us. Do it well."
Huang Shimu wanted to say hello to Chief Jin and Secretary Cui, but it was inconvenient to be with Captain Li with his luggage, so it had to be next time.
"Ah, prosecutor, you are even more handsome than you looked on TV two years ago! How could there be such nonsense in the rumors at that time?" Captain Li, holding the information box, is a cheerful uncle with squinting eyes, but don't underestimate him. His many years of police career allowed him to find out the other party's bottom line with a few words.Huang Shimu didn't answer the call, and looked down at the briefing in the file folder while walking, and asked after a while: "Do you know how to get to the Central District Inspection from here?".Captain Li stopped talking knowingly, "I'll drive, take your time."
The special search office assigned by the Central Procuratorate is smaller than the previous one, and the importance of this case cannot be compared with the previous one.In the name of special search, it was actually the chief prosecutor who arranged for Huang Shimu to be transferred back to Seoul.
When everyone is ready, there is a round of self-introduction first. In addition to Captain Li and a guard Park, the other two members are drawn from the local area. Like him, they are elites who will be transferred back to Seoul in the future and will be entrusted with important tasks.
"Good afternoon, my name is Jiang Donghuan. I used to work as an assistant to the department chief at the Southern District Prosecutor of Busan. I just passed the judicial examination. Please take care of me."
"Hi everyone, I'm Cheng Enyou from the Gwangju District Prosecutor's Office, and I hope to become a reliable partner!" The female prosecutor in uniform glanced at Huang Shimu, and he nodded in response.Trustworthy partner, these words reminded him of Yong Enxiu, next Tuesday will be her second anniversary...
"Is it up to me? My name is Pu Shimin, and I am the policeman in charge of this case. If you have any questions about the scene records, you can contact me."
Huang Shimu took out his mobile phone to turn it off, then sat down and started working.He looked up occasionally, and felt that the scene seemed familiar, but the people around him had changed.
The clock was flying, and the first day's work continued from two o'clock to 09:30. Everyone was already hungry, and Police Officer Park couldn't help it: "Well, do you want to have a dinner together on the first day to connect with each other? We still have to rely on shochu." This suggestion was immediately echoed by everyone.
"Sorry, I won't go." Everyone looked at Huang Shimu, he hesitated for a moment and softened his tone: "You go first, I will try my best."
Captain Li and Police Officer Park didn't push anymore, Cheng Jian looked a little disappointed, and deliberately approached him to pull his arm, "Huang Jian, let's go together~"
Huang Shimu remained polite, and gently withdrew his arm, without looking up at her, "Sorry, leave me alone, I can't get away here."
Cheng Jian felt a little embarrassed, and pressed his laptop willfully, "It's only the first day, how can there be so many materials to read..." Huang Shimu supported the screen with his hands and raised his eyes to look at her coldly.Cheng Jian consciously made a slip of the tongue, forced a smile to explain away, "Just kidding, then we'll wait for you."
Without even a polite response, Cheng Enyou came out with an unhappy expression on his face, "I heard that Prosecutor Huang's character is a bit out of place, but I didn't expect that he has no human touch."
Officer Park joked, "Our wish to become a prosecutor is written all over our faces."
"You're so good at joking, how can I have any wish." Cheng Enyou said with a forced smile. There are always more men than women in the inspection court. A beauty like her has always been admired by the stars, and there are many who are boring and courteous. Such a cold face This is the first time.
Just because it was the first day, there were so many relationships involved in the case, he had to sort out a rough outline first.Prosecutor Huang Shimu, who didn't care at all that he had hurt a woman's heart, looked at his watch again and it was already 12:30 in the evening.
According to the address given by the Attorney General's Secretary, he found a hotel apartment near the Central District Procuratorate without even driving the car.Intelligent front desk, password check-in.After entering the door, turn on the light and put down the suitcase, and take a shower to refresh the mind.Looking around, this place is very good, much better than the open-air cool bed.At this moment, his stomach woke up from the high concentration and protested, but at this time, there was no need to go to eat alone. He leaned on the bed and turned out the last few pages of materials, and fell asleep after reading. go.
It was the same in the next few days, maybe it was a long time since he had encountered such a major economic case, and his work intensity had completely conquered the members of the same group.Even I seemed to ask myself with a hint of mockery, do I really want to be reinstated so much?Can't bear the hardships of the South China Sea?Even Nanhai is not so poor that there is only one cool bed left to sleep on.
When the case was making great progress, Huang Shimu did not expect to report and asked for a three-hour vacation on Tuesday afternoon.
"Is there something wrong with your health? Go to the hospital?" Guard Park, who is keen on health preservation, often persuades Huang Shimu to eat on time, saying that his stomach will go wrong sooner or later if he doesn't pay attention.
"No, something personal. I'll be back soon." He nodded to Captain Li and left in a hurry without even taking his bag.
There was no one in the cemetery, and he quickly found Enxiu's bright and smiling eyes.The forget-me-nots on both sides of the photo are placed in spotless glass bottles. Chief Yong and his wife must have been here early in the morning. As for Han Jingwei and Chief Kim, they must have been here too.
Eun-soo is not his first trainee prosecutor, but he is the bravest, hardest-working, most persistent and serious one, and in a sense, the best one.If she hadn't done too many little tricks for her family, if she had a little more understanding of this dangerous world, if her so-called mentor or senior could trust her more and be more patient with her, she wouldn't be just a picture here. Black and white photos too.
Thinking of this, Huang Shimu suppressed the apology and sadness in his heart, and silently saluted the photo.The dead are gone, and the living will continue to fight to replace the part that Yong Enxiu failed to complete.
Another week flew by, the case came to an end, and Wednesday afternoon, just as the sun was setting.Huang Shimu has just obtained evidence from a club in the central district, which is only one street away from Longshan District.He glanced around casually, and just happened to recognize the person sitting on the second floor of the coffee shop facing the street in front of him as Han Ruzhen! He hadn't seen her for more than a year, and she was still thin, bright, and in high spirits. The man opposite said something , she bent her eyes with a smile, reached out and patted the other person's shoulder several times.
It should be very painful. Huang Shimu thought of the times he had endured. He was very angry when he was fishing for his mobile phone by the riverside.He didn't expect Xu Dongzai to see through his arrangement easily, he didn't expect Officer Han to be humiliated in the street because of this, and he didn't expect that she would go directly into the water to get the phone to make up for it.Mingming was so slender that he was almost untenable by waves of icy river water, and he smiled nonchalantly, telling Zhang Jian: "That one over there doesn't care about these things!"
He has never felt so wronged before. He can take it calmly when he is accused by the police of being a murderer or Li Changjun says that he is only for climbing, but he just doesn't want to be pushed away by her deliberately understating it.
Huang Shimu looked at his watch. It was [-]:[-], which was long after get off work time. There was no reason why she couldn't be here.
Just thinking about Ruzhen walking out of the gate, he took out the car key from his coat pocket and threw it skillfully to the man, who took it and turned around to pick up the car in the back alley.A fleeting figure, slightly long hair, loose linen pants, tall and broad shoulders, brother?acquaintance?friend?He doesn't look like a police officer, so he's the subject of investigation?Maybe she is working on a case, so it's better not to disturb her.
Huang Shimu had already opened the car door with one hand, and was still hesitating whether to take the initiative to say hello. Ruzhen had already seen him sharply, and ran over with a surprised face: "Hey, I am not dreaming in broad daylight, Huang Jian, why are you here?" Here? I guess there is a case, right! What kind of case? Criminal? Could it be a special prosecution!" The series of questions were still as quick as ever.
As soon as Huang Shimu remembered the practice of smiling, he smelled a faint smell of cologne. He couldn't laugh, so he replied politely: "I'm here on a business trip today."
"Forensics? A meeting?" She blinked her round eyes curiously, and stopped before he could answer, "Hey, I asked too many questions. Anyway, it's good to see that you are still so energetic."
"Yeah." He pursed his lips and replied, worried that he would not be as enthusiastic as ordinary people when they reunited after a long absence, "So is Officer Han." He thought, she didn't mention the matter of the bed anymore.
Han Ruzhen said with a smile: "It won't hinder your work. When you have free time, ask everyone out and join us, huh?" She made a gesture of drinking.
"When I'm free..." He frowned. The case will be closed and reported tomorrow, and if there is no accident, he must rush back to Nanhai in the afternoon to be a public prosecutor.
"Hey--" Ru Zhen just wanted to complain about his expression.
drip...
Ruzhen's car came out of the alley and stopped at the intersection, and the cars behind them honked their horns one by one.
"Ah, you can't park here, let's go first, and then contact me." She waved and smiled apologetically, and turned to get in the car.
"What's the matter, did you meet a difficult guy? Why this expression." Yuan Taezhe asked while driving.
"Heh, he's a difficult antonym." Han Ruzhen said angrily. Huang Shimu hasn't had a phone call in almost two years. He sent a text message during the holidays, and he replied politely. Today is certainly not the first time he has come to Seoul, but he has never contacted him. .However, I don't know if he will still have a headache, Ruzhen pursed his lips, with undisguised worry on his face.
"So it's someone I know, who is it? There's something wrong with you." Yuan Tae-cheol glanced at her and smiled cunningly.
Ruzhen got used to his glib tongue and ignored him, the car sped past Huang Shimu.Huang Shimu watched her go away and came back to his senses. The evidence he just found was the last missing piece of the puzzle in this case. He took out his mobile phone and called Captain Li, "It's me, the evidence is here, just as we thought Can you and Officer Park go to the scene now and confirm it again? Also, please send me the relevant information of the account, Jiang Jian and Cheng Jian, and I will go to the witness again."
After recording the statement, it was already [-]:[-], and he sent out the materials to the group. Only Jiang Jian replied immediately, and the other team members had probably gone home. He also wanted to go back to the Central District Prosecutor to sort out all the materials, and the case could be closed perfectly. up.But when he drove to the destination, it turned out to be the western prefectural police in the night, and not far away was the orange tent car that he often went home to eat on the way.
Originally wanted to leave, his stomach immediately greeted him as if seeing an old friend.I stopped and sat down, ordered a bowl of udon, thought about it, and added a bottle of shochu.
Huang Shimu's drinking experience is limited, but he has no record of getting drunk. What is his drinking capacity, a bottle or a case?He has no idea.Today's ramen was a bit salty, and after finishing the bill, the proprietress asked the proprietress to bring him a bottle.The car couldn't be opened, so I took a taxi and reported an address that was tumbling deep in my memory.
Han Ru really didn't expect that the second meeting was only a few hours later, and it was still at the door of her house, and the figure carrying the bag under the street lamp was still a little hunchbacked.Eyelashes and the bridge of the nose cast sculptural shadows, all the more youthful because of the thinness.
"Oh, Prosecutor Huang? Why are you here? What's the matter?" She smelled faintly of alcohol, and she couldn't believe it.
Huang Shimu looked at him with a half-smile, and before he could answer, he saw the man he saw in the afternoon come out.
"Ruzhen, I'm going back first, ah, isn't this the one I met just now? Hello, I'm Yuan Tae-cheol, Ruzhen's boyfriend ah--" Before finishing speaking, Ruzhen was hit With a heavy elbow, "Okay, okay, it's Faxiao." One second he was clutching his stomach with a pained face, and the next second, Huang Shimu stretched out his hand with a smile like nothing happened, and Ru Zhen stared He glanced at him, and he quickly retracted his hand in fright.
"Huang Jian, I'm sorry. Wait for me a moment, I'm right here, please wait a moment!" Ru really felt bad, and had to get Taizhe away before he could say anything more explosive.He grabbed his arm and dragged him ten meters away from the gate before letting go.
"Why are you so nervous? Who is that person? Why does he look familiar? If you weren't a policeman, I wouldn't let you go at ease." Taizhe was still chattering in a low voice.
"Ah, can you stop talking. Go away, or I'll call Xuexi."
"Okay, okay, we'll interrogate you together when Xuexi comes back." Stretched out two fingers and tapped her on the head, and walked away with resentment.
Ruzhen turned around and came back, smiling a bit awkwardly: "My friend from childhood, it's only because we are too familiar with each other. Do you have anything to do with me? Go up and talk about it."
Huang Shimu witnessed the scene just now, and didn't ask anything, just took Zhenlu out of his bag and shook it.
Ruzhen laughed and said: "What, where did the sun come out? Huang Jian, you made a mistake and got fired!" Just as he was talking, he suddenly remembered that he had let him stay when he came to Seoul. Is this wood serious?But let's take it seriously, at worst, she will go back to the police station to make do for the night.
"I really can't tell you're so stingy," she murmured with a smile, "How nice it is to live in a hotel. With such a high rent, I must have saved a lot of money."
"Yeah." Huang Shimu didn't refute. He hasn't thought about why he came here for no reason.
The two went upstairs, Huang Shimu waited on the terrace, arms folded, watching the busy traffic in the distance. "Please come in. You're welcome, it's not the first time you've come." Ruzhen said.
He said as usual: "Excuse me." After changing his shoes and coming in, the room smelled of the cologne left by the man just now.There is no major change in the rest. It is still a bed, a table, a pillow, and a teacup. When washing hands, I saw a toothbrush alone.Although there are no cups and plates on the dining table, there are still oil stains from the meal that have not been wiped clean.There are several more paintings on the wall than before, and the painting skills are still so hard to describe.
Beside the table stood a framed oil painting, small in size but striking enough that everything around it seemed to lose its splendor by comparison.The painting is a portrait of Ruzhen. Although Huang Shimu doesn't know much about art, it can be seen that the painter really understands Ruzhen so that he can paint her delicate and warm background. Her eyes are calm and the light in her eyes is painted. Soft and colorful like a firefly, with soft and moist lips, and loose strands of hair hanging by the ears.Her fragility and strength are precisely balanced somewhere, and not just anyone can feel it.He instinctively avoided looking, but that scene was etched in his mind for a long time.
The technique of this painting is proficient, and the level is far above the word "professional". It is definitely not something that Han Jingwei can draw by himself.He picked up a brochure on the table: Contemporary artist Yuan Tae-chul will hold a solo exhibition at Ting Art Museum next month.The envelope next to it looks like an invitation.See the personal introduction on the second cover: Graduated from Seoul National University of the Arts, the creative track has traveled all over Europe and South America, and now lives in the United States.Huang Shimu thought, Han Jingwei's friend can draw so well, is it because his talent is greater than his enthusiasm?
Ruzhen came out of the kitchen with some side dishes, "Can you bring me two cushions, thank you!"
The two sat down and had a drink first, "Ah, what a joy." Ruzhen said with emotion, as expected, the taste of wine after ten o'clock is different, and suddenly I want to eat barbecue. "After speaking, the two of them simultaneously remembered the only garden party held by the special search team, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
"Last week, did you go to the Yongjian?" Ruzhen looked him straight in the eyes, as if he was interrogating a suspect.
"Yeah." He nodded honestly and saw Ru Zhen showing a satisfied smile, but the smile didn't last long, "Li Yunfan was released last year, you know."
"Well, this is also expected. Section Chief Yu dare not bite him." He poured wine for Ruzhen.
"Chief Yu died in a prison fight. Everyone knows what happened. When Li Yunfan came out, I was really desperate. It seemed that all our efforts were in vain. But then I Going to see Section Chief Yin, he still hasn't given up, and I shouldn't have such thoughts."
Huang Shimu's expression changed slightly when he heard her say that he went to see Section Chief Yin again. He couldn't think of anyone like Han Jingwei who could truly see through humanity and crime and then return it with tenderness. Maybe only a woman can do it.
"Cheers." He took another sip, "How is it after the promotion, how are you doing?" Only then did he remember that it was not a guard but a police officer.
"Wow, I'm really touched to hear you ask this question. But it's not good at all. There are fewer opportunities to go to the scene. It's just paperwork, but I still handled a few decent cases a while ago. Where is Prosecutor Huang? Life in Nanhai How about it?"
"The interpersonal relationship is simple, and the case is not that complicated."
"What about the headache? Have you ever had any pain after that?" Ru Zhen looked at him.
Under the light at this moment, your real face is close at hand, and every detail is just like the one depicted in that painting.Are you drunk?Huang Shimu asked himself why the air seemed to freeze, and it seemed that it could cause a wave of fluctuations in the blink of an eye.
"It's okay." His voice also lowered a little bit, and he couldn't resist the drowsiness for a while, and he said forcefully, "I'm used to it."
"Is this something you need to get used to?" Ru Zhen was a little anxious, "You have to go to the hospital if you have a headache, what should you do if you faint again while driving or at a high place?"
"It won't happen if there is no major event," he didn't want to continue this topic in this atmosphere, "Is Li Yunfan doing anything after he comes out?"
"Not yet, he is busy with the sea reclamation project.--You mean revenge? You are right to think so, this time he stumbled, and he will not let us off so easily. Especially you, you are definitely falling for him Blacklist, be careful."
Huang Shimu still looked disapproving, "I don't think he has the time to manage us now. After Li Changjun's death, his power has been damaged a lot. It is not so easy to establish a new and reliable channel." The soju in the cup drank At this moment, he began to enjoy a little bit of sleepiness mixed with drunkenness. This kind of conversation made him feel at ease, as if he could continue talking endlessly.
After drinking the shochu, Ruzhen took out a few bottles of beer from the refrigerator, "Do you want to drink?"
Huang Shimu hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the cup.
They talked about Huang Shimu's case in the South China Sea, the impeachment of the president a while ago, and the two talked about the gray areas that Li Yunfan may be involved in from the case review. Ru Zhen felt that the complicated information that people usually get from the media is just the tip of the iceberg.
"Oh, by the way, do you have a case for this business trip? Do you need a confidential case?" Ruzhen asked with interest, completely unaware of the change in Huang Shimu's state.
Huang Shimu nodded solemnly, and when he saw Ruzhen opposite him immediately looked like a child whose toy had been robbed, with his mouth pouted and his face full of frustration, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Ah, it's almost there, you are practicing." Ruzhen was also very happy, "It seems that the gift I gave you was not in vain."
"Hey Yigu, don't you really want to change your habit of giving gifts? Wouldn't it be better to just be a criminal policeman?" Huang Shimu still complained and peeked at Ruzhen's reaction.
"Ah, you saw the painting inside!" Ru was really a little embarrassed, "Ah that, I didn't draw that one. But in fact, I was very good at drawing when I was young, cough cough, what kind of expression do you have! "
Huang Shimu has an innocent face, what expression can he have.
Ru Zhen rolled his eyes and continued, "The teacher also said that I have talent, but learning to paint is too expensive. For my family background, let's forget it. Tae-cheol, Yuan Tae-cheol, have you heard of it? Just now The guy you saw, regardless of his appearance, is actually very powerful, and the painting inside is his masterpiece. This is not another painting exhibition that will open next month."
"Will that painting also be exhibited?"
"No, no, after all, he is still a public servant. I asked him to take the painting back. Although it is placed with me, the painting is still his. He would not give it to me. Fortunately, he is not like me. Hey, it will be auctioned later. I sold it for a huge price, so I don’t know if I will share some of it.”
"auction?"
"One day, when I retire, maybe I can buy the paintings back. I don't know if the pension is enough."
"How did you want to be a policeman?" Huang Shimu asked.
"Why, have you started filming Love in the Mainland?" Ruzhen smiled, "Oh, Huang Jian, are you drunk? You talk a lot when you're drunk."
Huang Shimu also felt that he was a bit out of line, and asked too abruptly, "I'm sorry..."
"I was brought up by my grandparents and neighbors. When I was young, my parents had a car accident, but I have all the other children. My grandma's family opened a comic book shop. I think I also wanted to draw comics, but the most I want is Be a police officer, uphold justice, and protect ordinary people in our country who have no power and power."
Huang Shimu lowered his head, concealing the change in his expression, raised his glasses and touched them silently. He couldn't judge what to say in this situation, but his eyes raised and lowered intentionally or unintentionally.
"Oh, I've run out of beer, it's getting late." Ruzhen looked at his watch, and the two of them were drinking and chatting slowly, and it was almost 12 o'clock, "You should live here today, it's about [-] minutes away from the western district inspection. close."
"No need. I'll call a taxi and it'll be here right away." He shook his phone.
"You have to have a destination when calling a taxi, right? Only now do you want to find a hotel? The hotels in the city center were full at the recent International Urban Development Conference." Ruzhen got up and began to clear the table, "Don't worry, I won't call you really Sleeping here. If you sleep with your mouth crooked, you will not be responsible for the rest of your life." She pouted towards the room, "You can sleep in it. I will go to the office, just a few steps away..."
"No, my apartment is not far away." Huang Shimu stood up feeling dizzy.
Ruzhen saw that his expression was different, "What's the matter? Are you okay? Hey, don't be brave, Jing Huan and his grandma have both lived with me, what's the matter--" She immediately reacted, "The apartment you live in ?”
"The hotel apartment opposite the Central Prosecutor's Office." For the first time, he felt a little flustered, and began to think about how he told the first lie and why he didn't apply for Han Weiwei to join the team in front of the prosecutor. On purpose, was it on purpose?What are you avoiding again?
"Central District Prosecutor? Is it a special procurator? Why not..." Ru Zhen almost blurted out his questioning, with disappointment and complaints that could not be concealed in her tone, but she immediately restrained herself and calmed down, she did not blame him for his position, " No wonder it's a confidential case." With a resentful tone, he lowered his head and continued to clear the table.
Seeing that she was angry, Huang Shimu opened his mouth to justify or comfort her. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't figure out what he was feeling. Finally, he silently picked up his coat and loosened his tie, "Thank you for the hospitality, I'm leaving."
Ru was so angry that she laughed, why did this person run away like a child in trouble, she called Huang Shimu, "Wait." She entered the room and put on a coat, "I'll take you down."
This decision was really wise and powerful. Huang Shimu felt that his legs were not in control as soon as he took two steps.Full of remorse for drinking so much, I don't know what the next day's hangover will be like.It was because he made a serious mistake, and the work has not been completely finished, so why did he relax for a while.He waved his hand and rejected Ru Zhen, who helped him walk over to get into the car. He was still a little conscious when he said the address, and vaguely heard someone asking him for the password in his ear.
Then nothing is known.
In the morning, beep, beep, the alarm clock on the mobile phone rings from 06:30 to [-]:[-].Huang Shimu sat up with a splitting headache and found himself back in the apartment lying on the bed with his tie askew to one side, his clothes still at work, covered with a quilt, and hangover medicine, painkillers, canned coffee and a glass of water on the bedside. Besides, not a single word was left.
When I got out of the shower, the mirror of the washstand was fogged up, and suddenly I found a grimace left on it, in the pose of Mona Lisa, but pouted and laughed.
Finally, I received another gift.
Huang Jian took a picture with his mobile phone before the fog disappeared.
--
It was already two o'clock when Han Ruzhen came home, brushed his teeth, washed his face and lay down on the bed, remembering that the taxi driver said just now, Miss, my boyfriend is so drunk, watch carefully, don't let him spit in my car.
She was also afraid, so she agreed.Huang Shimu's head kept sliding against her shoulders, and she had to help his head up every time she turned right, and then up again. It was like fog, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
It turns out that this guy's drinking capacity is really only a little bit.I really can't let him drink it next time, I blame myself for forgetting about his brain surgery, and now I have to send Buddha to the West.Fortunately, Huang Shimu was just delirious, not completely incapacitated.She paid the taxi fare and helped him into the apartment. It took a lot of effort to figure out the access control code. In the end, she even used her interrogation skills. She couldn't help laughing, Huang Shimu, did you receive any special agent training when you were a soldier?If I wasn't a policeman, you'd have to sleep on the street tonight, you know?
Set him up to lie down, adjust the temperature and humidity of the air conditioner, and loosen his tie to the side so that he can breathe freely.
Huang Shimu was still frowning.Ru Zhen sighed, and ran to the convenience store to buy anti-alcohol medicine.Before I left, I wanted to write a sticky note, but I suddenly became playful. I went into the bathroom, wet my fingers with hand sanitizer, and drew a few strokes on the mirror.Nodding in satisfaction, he turned off the light and said to the darkness of the room:
"Good night, Prosecutor Huang, Nan Hai and the Special Prosecutor have worked hard. Be sure to call me next time."
The author has something to say:
notes:
Almost all of Huang Shimu's attitudes are the result of his thinking and choices.
I have been hurt by my parents since I was conscious, and it can even be called betrayal, and getting along with my peers and teachers at school is almost all bad memories.The fear, disgust, disgust or indifference of the people around him when he has an attack in a public place, he grew up in such an environment.
But no matter before or after the operation, his cognitive ability is very good, so it can be speculated that he should have read a lot of books for reasons such as distraction or curiosity. Most of the books advocate kindness, justice, order, Reality constructs his rationality and logic.The book also advocates beauty, happiness, harmony, and joy, which he has hardly experienced, and even less after the operation.He just knows that such existence is good, but he has never really experienced it himself.Even if his own feelings are incomplete, the objective world in his cognition is complete, justice should triumph over evil, good people should not be wronged, weak people should not be bullied, smart minds are attractive, sense of humor is lovely, husband and wife He should never leave, parents should love and support their children unconditionally, and he has all these positive concepts.But he is not as optimistic as ordinary people, because of his own experience and the darkness he saw after he became an adult, it can be said that he is discouraged.Just like a child will feel that all his mistakes are due to his own badness, and his mother will be sad and angry, but when he grows up, he realizes that his parents did not give him unconditional love. Even if they don't forgive, they have to understand.
In fact, Huang Shimu has been persisting in the dark, waiting for someone who can really feel the warmth again, and because of his sequelae, it seems that this waiting is futile.He should have been tormented by this paradox all the time.
Therefore, to him, the sophistication of the world is a simple thing, and it doesn't matter.There are no more than two reasons for ordinary people to manage human relationships. The first is to make themselves feel integrated, comfortable, and warm emotionally.The second is for the exchange of interests.
Huang Shimu's ability is so strong that in general, he can handle it by himself without having to communicate with others. Even if he wants to exchange benefits, he may use a direct method, not fake.
And he doesn't need emotional comfort that much, or in other words, he rarely arouses warm and aimless responses from others in his natural state, and he doesn't take the initiative to pretend to be courteous because of emotional needs.
In his continuous practice, this state of being completely unconnected with people is feasible.It also saves him time, and at the same time, the possible negative impact on ordinary people is ineffective for him.
But he is always observing the people around him, and has always maintained a high degree of sensitivity to his surroundings.And put every move of the people around you into your own value system to make judgments.
