Swallowing the Seas

From that day on, Bu Chonghua completely disappeared like a mud cow into the sea.

The Ministry issued a document outraged, thoroughly investigated Jinhai City for nearly a month, searched inside and out of all the affairs related to Bu Chonghua, pulled half of the Nancheng detachment out to review, but could not find him With the slightest clue of his whereabouts, in the end, he can only conjecture that he may have left North China based on various sources.

Leaden gray clouds hang over the city in winter, and the police badge of the Nancheng District Public Security Bureau stands on the top of the tall buildings, silently facing the busy streets day after day and the alternation of day and night.

Where did Bu Chonghua go?

What is he doing now?

"Officer Wu has already recovered, but after all, there was a massive hemorrhage at the base of the skull, which may injure some nerves and leave sequelae in some respects. Therefore, we need to keep close observation in the future. Once you find something wrong, please seek medical treatment in time... "

"Yes, yes." Liao Gang signed the discharge procedures while listening, "Thank you doctor for your concern."

During the peak period of hospitalization in winter, the hospital is filled with the smell of disinfectant, and the nurses are pushing wheelchairs or helping the elderly to walk slowly through the corridors of the wards.Liao Gang went up the stairs to the intensive care single ward, came to a closed ward at the end, and tapped twice.

"Wu Yu?" He pushed open the door: "The car is downstairs, shall we go?"

Wu Yu stood in front of the window of the ward where he lived for three months, with his back to Liao Gang, unable to see what expression he had, turned around upon hearing this, and picked up his coat from the back of the chair.

"Let's go."

When Liao Gang saw him, he was slightly stunned.

Wu Yu's hair was cut very short, and he looked energetic because of his thinness, but his demeanor was more solemn and silent.He was wearing a straight shirt with the cuffs rolled up at the elbows, exposing his slender arms with obvious muscular lines; underneath were standard trousers and leather shoes, which finally showed his already long legs because of the proper tailoring. No sound was made, but the subtle air around him was faintly bitter.

"What's wrong?" He said calmly as they passed by.

"..." Liao Gang hastily withdrew his gaze, feeling a little bit complicated and sad: "It's nothing."

The two went downstairs one after the other. The car of the Nancheng detachment was already waiting in front of the inpatient department building. The driver was actually Song Ping's secretary, Lao Ou. He was startled when he saw Wu Yu, but he didn't say much. He opened the rear door for him.

"Why did Deputy Liao pick me up in person today?"

Liao Gang got into the car from the other side of the back seat, slammed the car door, and glanced at him hesitantly, "...Let's go back to the bureau first."

Wu Yu nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and closed his eyes slightly.

The car stopped at the entrance of the Nancheng Detachment, and Liao Gang beckoned Wu Yu to go with him. The two did not go to the Criminal Investigation Detachment first, but went directly to the director's office under the leadership of Secretary Ou.Unexpectedly, there was a lot of people today. Song Ping, Xu Zuxin and several old leaders of the organization department were all sitting there. They seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and they all stood up when Wu Yu and the others pushed the door open.

"What's wrong?" Wu Yu walked into the office, glanced around, and asked flatly, "Any news about the Bu detachment?"

Song Ping stood at the front of the crowd. In less than a month, he seemed to be ten years old. A few strands of white hair grew faintly from his black temples. Crow's feet around his eyes fell heavily on the edge of his temples. His nasolabial folds seemed to weigh heavily. With the corners of his mouth pursed, he said slowly, "No."

Wu Yu stopped and said, "Then I'll go back first."

Song Ping knew that he had already guessed what happened from the situation along the way, but he didn't give him a chance to leave, so he stepped forward and pressed his back shoulder: "According to the research and decision of the Organization Department, you will be appointed to replace Bu Zhong in the near future. Hua is the new head of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Nancheng Branch of Jinhai City, and the documents will be sent to the Municipal Bureau in a few days."

"..."

Everyone was looking at his tall and thin back and short black hair, Wu Yu finally turned around after a while.In the gloomy winter sky, his face was stern and white, but his eyebrows and eyes were extremely black. When he looked at people like this, he had a solemn and calm aura.

"I thought that when the detachment leader was away, the deputy team should take over the duties."

Song Ping said: "Liao Gang was promoted at Bu Chonghua's suggestion, and the superiors don't trust him."

"Then you shouldn't trust me."

"No one in the current establishment of the Nancheng Detachment can have the crushing qualifications and achievements like you, unless it is airborne from the outside." Song Ping asked, "You want to hand over the kidnapping case of you and Bu Chonghua to a new outsider?" Airborne? Don't you want to find out who locked you in the secret room?"

Wu Yu didn't speak.

Song Ping approached slightly, and whispered into his ear, "Do you still want to find out the truth with your own hands? How did Peng Wan die in the double-enclosed secret room?"

Wu Yu didn't speak at first, the police cars coming in and out downstairs and the noise of people passing through the glass windows faintly shook the quiet air.

He once stood in front of the gray building of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, looking up at the heavy police badges and dark blue uniforms under the sky, and the invisible sword of Damocles above his head made him shudder.He put himself under a mask of cowardice, embarrassment, and humility, and watched everyone here day and night, waiting for an opportunity to turn around and flee, and completely disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people; In a year's time, the world turned upside down. In a blink of an eye, the roles were reversed, and he also put on the same uniform. He not only became a member of this place, but also became an existence followed by everyone.

Fate always pushes him to a ridiculous and twisted path when separation comes, and he can't turn back once he goes.

Wu Yu finally took a deep breath, looked up and said, "One day you will regret choosing me."

"Then I hope that by that day, you will have brought Bu Chonghua back." Song Ping picked up the police jacket on the back of the chair, put it on Wu Yu's shoulders with his own hands, stared into his deep and sharp eyes, and whispered explain:

"Welcome back, Captain Wu."

This may be the most absurd and saddest promotion in the history of the Criminal Investigation Detachment in Nancheng District-surviving a catastrophe, accepting an order in a crisis, no publicity period for red-headed documents, no congratulatory phone calls from old classmates, and no flowers, wine, greetings and congratulations.When Wu Yu came out from the personnel department, he had already taken up his post. He pushed open the door of the big office of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, and everyone who was busy turned their heads to look at the door. One by one, they stopped what they were doing, and the silence gradually enveloped most of the corridor. .

Meng Zhao, Cai Lin, Song Hui, Zhang Xiaoli, Economic Investigator Cao who came downstairs to get the report, Wang Jiuling and Xiaogui forensic doctor who stopped at the stairs in the distance... Familiar figures stood or sat, some Holding documents in their hands, some with phones.No one said anything, no one moved, all eyes were fixed on Wu Yu's silhouette in police uniform, as if waiting for something.

Wu Yu patted Liao Gang behind him with his backhand, and asked him to step into the big office with him, then raised his head and looked at the faces with different expressions in front of him:

"There is something I want to tell you today."

"I want to stand here and re-introduce myself."

"My surname is Xie. I came down to the border alone 13 years ago to carry out a long-term cross-border latent top-secret mission. The purpose is to destroy the Golden Triangle Thayer drug cartel that has infiltrated the Yunnan-Yunnan border for a long time. Ten years ago, I discovered the secret Internet drug-related e-commerce Tea Horse Road and the Mariana Trench website, and sent Mariana’s security director, Arthur Hodgson, to prison. After that, he continued to lurk among various gangs in the Golden Triangle. During this period, I cooperated with the police I have wiped out many border drug routes and drug trafficking organizations, and I have missed death many times and saved the day. A year ago, I was ordered to assist the police in luring sharks, the most wanted drug lords in the world, into the territory and carry out the siege, but unfortunately the arrest operation It failed. The sharks escaped from overseas, the Mariana Trench website was offline for a year, the Golden Triangle drug lords offered millions of rewards for my head, and my code name spread throughout the global drug trafficking network overnight."

"For the purpose of protection, the organization transferred me to the Public Security Bureau of Jinhai City, North China, and gave me a pseudonym Wu Yu. Here I met the Bu Detachment and you all, and spent an unprecedented peaceful time in my life."

The surroundings were so shocked that there was no sound at all. Except for a few directors who had heard about it, everyone's eyes widened and they couldn't believe their ears.

But Wu Yu's tone is not high, and very calm:

"In the past three months, the Nancheng Detachment has undergone the most severe review and cleansing in history. We have fallen from being one of the best business departments in Jinhai City to being the object of suspicion, scrutiny and criticism by everyone. Our former glory has plummeted. You may I have heard all kinds of rumors about the Bu Detachment, but what I want to say here is that I don't believe the Bu Detachment did those things."

"I don't believe that he killed Wan Changwen's daughter Peng Wan for his life, and I don't believe that he sold the blue gold to the sharks."

"The Nancheng detachment is one of the best criminal investigation teams in Jinhai and even North China. It has been in the past and it will be in the future. I will do my best to bring the step detachment back to find out the truth and end the current situation of rats crossing the street all day long. , to get everything back on track.”

The surrounding area was completely silent, only Wu Yu's steady voice was heard echoing in the sky: "I will take everyone to wash away the stigma and restore the prestige and glory of our Nancheng Detachment."

Liao Gang said in a deep voice, "Wu Detachment."

Everyone woke up like a dream, Meng Zhao jumped off the edge of the table and said, "Wu Detachment."

"Captain Wu." "Little Angkor." "Little Wu team."

……

The sound of chairs rubbing against the ground sounded one after another, everyone stood up and surrounded them in a half circle.

"From now on, everyone will ask Deputy Liao about foreign affairs, Sister Meng about internal affairs, and call me about offending others." Wu Yu reached out and touched Liao Gang's shoulder, and said concisely: "Through the wind and rain, we are in the same boat, and the Nancheng detachment will always be a whole."

The phrase that the Nancheng detachment is a whole is usually just a cliché, and Bu Chonghua has never said it a few times after being the leader for so many years.But when it came out of Wu Yu's mouth at this time, everyone understood its extraordinary weight: before the stigma and suspicion were completely cleared, everyone in the detachment who had been promoted and used by Bu Chonghua would be treated differently. Even if they are transferred from the Nancheng branch, they cannot completely get rid of the gray records on their resumes, and the impact within the system is very far-reaching.

Everyone prospers, everyone loses. At this moment, everyone is truly a community of interests tied to the same boat to help each other through wind and rain.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Understood Team Wu!"

……

Cai Lin rubbed his nose, which was sore and hot from the mention of the word Bu Detachment just now, and said softly, "I, I feel that Xiao Wu is completely different from before..."

"No, it's finally the same as before." Sister Meng said with a sigh, "The real... the real past."

The innate edges and corners, the sharpness that has been polished, finally broke through the shackles he put on for himself, and showed it when he was cornered, just like the truly long, bloody past.

"Are you going to see the detachment leader's office?" Liao Gang asked in a low voice.

Wu Yu shook his head, then withdrew and walked outside the big office door: "No."

"Hey? Then where are you going?"

Liao Gang involuntarily followed a few steps, followed Wu Yu's line of sight and looked down from the corridor window - a big silver G was parked in the open space in front of the building, and a silhouette wrapped in a dark gray windbreaker was leaning against the door to look at his phone While smoking a cigarette, he suddenly looked up as if feeling something, and met Wu Yu's eyes behind the window sill upstairs, and it was Jiang Ting.

"Re-survey the scene." Wu Yu put the slipped shirt cuffs on his elbows, and said succinctly: "I don't believe that there is an absolute secret room in this world."

However, the Technical Detective has already touched the secret room where they were imprisoned hundreds of times. They even took photos of every brick and every beam and put them on the desk of the special case team of the Municipal Bureau. There is no room for a mouse... Liao Gang hesitated to speak, but before he could say "Why don't I go with you", Wu Yu walked towards the elevator, and the moment he turned around, his eyes passed through the busy crowd. Not far away was the closed door of the detachment leader's office.

On the dark brown door panel, the old golden nameplate hadn't been taken off yet, and the words "Bu Chonghua" fell into Wu Yu's indifferent eyes.

Then he looked away and walked down the stairs.

Liao Gang froze in place, and after a while, he saw Wu Yu's figure appearing downstairs, wearing a coat and striding out of the steps in front of the building, and took a pair of survey gloves thrown by Jiang Ting.The two nodded at each other and got into the car. The tail lights of the big G quickly disappeared on the street in front of the Public Security Bureau.

·

At the same time, a port in North China.

The motor was mixed with the sound of the waves from far to near. After a while, a speedboat gradually appeared in the depths of the water mist, breaking through the waves and galloping forward.

Shark stood by the car door on the shore, and saw a figure with the corners of his clothes fluttering standing up from the bow, with his left hand in his trouser pocket and a briefcase in his right hand, and he stepped out when the speedboat was docking. Bu Chonghua!

The bodyguard reached into his pocket and pressed the handle of the gun, and asked in a low voice, "Boss?"

The shark's blue eyes fell on the opponent's suitcase, and he shook his head slightly.The two subordinates had no choice but to stand back upright, only to see that Bu Chonghua got off the boat alone, strode forward on the beach, and said with a smile, "Seeing is better than hearing, Mr. Shark."

This was indeed the first face-to-face between the two, Shark unabashedly looked Bu Chonghua up and down.The former captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment is not as young and cold as he looks in the ID photo, but the edges and corners are deeper, and the figure is more lean and strong. There is no twinkle in his eyes or any unnecessary movements, and his gestures are clean and neat.

Ever since he met the painter, Shark has become less convinced of his first judgment on people—but even so, he can still feel from Bu Chonghua's obvious personal style that the other party is a person with clear goals, firm will, and head. A person with very strong wolf traits.

He has seen this kind of trait in many drug lords, but it is indeed far from the Chinese officialdom he understands.

"Branch Captain." Shark finally spat out the title with great interest, and asked, "What made you want to come and see me?"

Bu Chonghua glanced at the two bodyguards with live ammunition and the jeep equipped with a single-sided viewing glass, but he didn't pay attention. He opened the lockbox in his hand with a snap, and even the shark raised his eyebrows in an instant. , I saw that the box was full of bags of faint blue crystals, which were blue gold!

"Do you want to sell it to me?"

This box weighed at least six or seven kilograms, and if we caught enough to shoot eighteen round-trips, there would still be leftovers.In an instant, the shark had already estimated a price in his mind, but unexpectedly, Bu Chonghua closed the suitcase, casually threw it into the arms of the shark's bodyguard, and said, "No, I want to give it to you."

"Give it to me?"

"Yes, in order to thank you for keeping your promise, you hijacked me from Jinhai's prison car."

The bodyguard skillfully and quickly opened a bag of blue gold, put on latex gloves, twisted it, smelled it, and said in amazement: "The real thing!"

The shark's expression finally changed a little.

Blue gold is the same as heroin, its purity can be distinguished with the naked eye. Blue gold with such a luster and such high purity can be described as scarce after Wen Shao's death. It is impossible for anyone in the world who is engaged in the drug business not to be tempted.Bu Chonghua spent all his time waiting for the shark's reaction, but unexpectedly the white man in front of him pondered for a moment, but shook his head regretfully.

"No, Captain. I rescued you only because you led those blue and gold houses to the Mariana Trench, and I have always been a platform operator who values ​​reputation. The transaction between us has been completed, and there is no need to continue There are too many branches."

——He didn't trust Bu Chonghua.

He didn't trust the former criminal policeman who could describe all the drastic changes in front of him as abrupt.

Bu Chonghua nodded calmly, without any expression of dissatisfaction or disappointment on his face, he just asked: "What if I can provide you with a lot more blue gold than you imagined?"

Shark said politely: "You may have misunderstood me. Although I attach great importance to new drugs, I am not a money-hungry businessman..."

"Then what if I can make your actions in North China very convenient, and even allow you to establish a long-term and stable transit base?"

The shark's refusal paused, and he narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

"During the year when the Mariana Trench went offline, your business suffered a lot, but the transaction volume of the originally unknown website 'Tea Horse Ancient Road' increased dozens of times, and even competed with you in Southeast Asia. momentum. If you don’t have a stable enough transit point to build a logistics channel, then you will soon lose a large part of the market to a rising star, and it will be very difficult to win back.” Bu Chonghua looked at the pair of sharply suppressed With tight blue eyes, he smiled and said: "The times are different, Mr. Shark. The painter has made you lose your position as a global monopoly, and the rapidly growing competitors are eager to carve up the remaining market. If the Ancient Tea Horse Road finds Wan Chang first What if the text and reached a cooperation? What if the global blue gold price continues to fall or even breaks through the floor? The rise and collapse of the Internet age are often just overnight. Do you really believe that the cornerstone of your business empire is better than Ross Ulbly Xi is more solid and unbreakable?"

—How dare he compare the shark to Ross Ulbricht, but Ross Ulbricht has already been caught and put in prison!

The faces of the two subordinates beside the jeep changed, and the shark raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "I didn't expect you to think a lot about my career?"

Bu Chonghua said: "We Chinese, it is normal to go three times before and four times back."

"...Go forward three times and back four." Shark repeated this sentence, really laughed loudly, and shook his head after a long time, saying: "You are so cautious, but I suddenly have a doubt. "

"What question?"

The waves hit the reef, making waves of splashing waves.Shark's smile gradually faded away. The distance between the two of them was only half a step, and Bu Chonghua could clearly see the reflection of the water and the sky in his slightly graying pupils, which gradually condensed into a cold gray tone:

"You also know that the trading volume of the Ancient Tea Horse Road has soared, enough to compete with the Mariana Trench in Southeast Asia, so why did you choose to join me? Is it just a decision made purely out of reason after weighing the pros and cons?"

This question is actually very strange-everyone who eats this meal of severed heads is a profit-seeker, and does not weigh the pros and cons for his own sake. Is it because the website design of the Mariana Trench is better than the ancient tea-horse road?

"Yes." Bu Chonghua laughed and said, "Although I have some money, who would think too much money is hot?"

The shark stared at him without saying a word.

"I will give you enough time to consider my suggestion. That box of high-purity blue gold is just a gift." Bu Chonghua gathered up his coat fluttering in the sea breeze, nodded in greeting, and said with great grace: "After thinking about it, we will contact you again." I."

He turned around and walked towards the long-awaited speedboat on the shore. At this moment, the shark suddenly drew his gun and clicked on the chamber. With a bang, the bullet hit the heel of Bu Chonghua's leather shoes and hit the ground, splashing a cluster of yellow sand!

The situation suddenly changed, and the two bodyguards drew their guns without hesitation: "Stop!"

Bu Chonghua paused, before turning back, a cold muzzle was already on the back of his head, and the shark behind him said coldly: "There is something I have always wanted to ask you."

"..." Bu Chonghua looked at the endless sea in front of him, "If you mean Ma Yin, I'm very sorry, I killed your girlfriend..."

Shark said decisively: "Although I spent a lot of money for her, she is not my girlfriend, and I can't blame others for asking for death."

Bu Chonghua asked: "Then what exactly are you referring to?"

Bu Chonghua has a net height of 1.8 meters and five and above. Even from the back, you can see that the shoulders are wide, the waist is narrow, the legs are long, and the appearance is very handsome. Even the voice is magnetic. No matter from any aspect, he is an extremely attractive object .

The shark stared at him without moving the gun, and finally spoke slowly: "I heard some rumors about the painter and you..."

"... these rumors make me very, very upset."
