Swallowing the Seas

Jinhai City.

The torrential rain washes over the embankment, and the water rushes forward rushing towards the deep twilight in the distance.

"I'll tell you not to be so active. I won't give you two more money if you work until twelve o'clock. Those gangs are very dark!" His black and thin calf dripped into the broken sneakers, and every step he took was in the muddy soup, "I'll take you downstairs and I'll leave, or your dad will see you again later!"

The girl under the umbrella was wearing a dark blue overalls that were obviously too big, holding her arms tightly, her voice trembling slightly: "The foreman gave me 40 yuan more..."

The boy let out a heavy "嗐".

He wanted to say something but swallowed it back. After a while, he said: "Then you should hide the money well, don't let your father know, and send it to gamble again."

"I...I know." The girl stretched out her hand to pull the strap of her schoolbag like a conditioned reflex: "When I save enough money, I will take my mother away from here and go back to my hometown. Even farming is better than this. I heard people say It's..."

Whoa!

There was a small movement, and the boy suddenly stopped and turned his head.

"What did you hear?"

The girl staggered to her feet, shook her head blankly, and was a little nervous by the boy: "What?"

It was getting late, and the last bus from the industrial park to the outskirts of the city had already left.The wilderness was dark, the street lights were not on, and the heavy rain blurred the vision; in the distance, the thigh-deep grass was swaying back and forth under the rain, like a group of little people staggering towards.

Swish, Swish.

"..." The boy suspected that he had heard it wrong, but he didn't dare to step back, he tentatively called out for a while, "Hey, is there anyone?!"

No answer came through the rainstorm.

"The wind...it must be the wind..." The girl was uneasy, and tightened her schoolbag tightly: "Let's go, let's go..."

As soon as the salty cold wind blew on the river, goosebumps suddenly popped up on the boy's back, and he swallowed hard: "Let's go." Then he pulled the girl and turned around in a hurry, and within two steps he heard——

rustle.

rustle.

It seemed that some kind of huge reptile was rapidly approaching from the grass, and the two of them froze at the same time. After a few seconds, the boy froze and tilted his head. The look in his eyes meant that you heard it too?

The girl's pale face could not be seen clearly in the dim light, and it took her a while to nod her head stiffly.

"..." The boy panted heavily, looked around, picked up a dirty stone and held it tightly in his hand, turned around and shouted bravely: "Who is there?! Come out to me!"

The sky and the earth rained down, and there was no response from all around.After more than half a minute, the boy's tense shoulders relaxed vigilantly, motioned the girl to hold his arm, and whispered: "This is not right, let's go—"

at this time.

rustle--!

The bushes that were close at hand swayed violently, and the premonition of danger rushing towards them made the two young men tremble like lightning at the same time, but before they had time to retreat, it was already too late to blink.A huge ghost stood up almost close to their faces. The distant street lights reflected on the river, and it was impressive to see half of its white bones. The flesh had rotted away. There were only two black holes in the nasal cavity, and the upper and lower teeth were exposed. The two eye sockets were fixed on them, and they took a step forward——

That's not a living person.

That's a skeleton!

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

Heart-piercing screams pierced the rain curtain, and the train passed the rails in the distance. The rumbling sound mixed with the heavy rain overwhelmed the last lingering sound.

·

The next day.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

The roar resounded through the corridor, boom!The door panel was pushed open and slammed against the wall. A strong man wielding a kitchen knife rushed through the fire door with the dust on the wall, and rushed downstairs like a mad cow.

"Fuck!" The plainclothes criminal police rushed out of the house, chased a few steps, and decisively raised the walkie-talkie: "Report to the troops, report to the troops, a suspect escaped from control with a knife and was breaking through the safe passage, requesting immediate support! Repeat! Request support!"

"It doesn't sound good to tell you to go to class, the homework is all about something, and I will embarrass my old lady away every three days, if I knew I shouldn't have given birth to you..." Outside the residential building, the woman parked the electric car while Pointing and poking her child's head, she just pushed open the anti-theft door and was about to step in, when she saw a fierce face rushing out from the safe passage, Xue Liang came to her in the blink of an eye, and couldn't help but screamed: "Ahhh ah!!"

——The woman's scream came from outside the building, beside the police car.

Wu Yu suddenly turned his head, and the next second was like an arrow leaving the string, rushing towards the corridor door!

The note has already been chased down, and this fucking old woman jumped out of the way!With cloudy eyes, the strong man grabbed the knife and held the petrified child hostage. The moment the kitchen knife fell, the woman hugged the child desperately and pushed back, facing the blade with her bony shoulders. It hit my ear!

Whoa!

The corridor window on the second floor was shattered, and another figure descended from the sky, carrying countless glass shards, kicking the strong man over!

"Damn it..." The strong man slammed his head on the concrete floor, blood gushing out from his face on the spot. The double stimulus of methamphetamine and severe pain drove him completely crazy, and he clenched the kitchen knife and rushed at others to slash like crazy.But the person who came didn't delay for half a second, rolled up on the spot, turned his head to avoid the blade, and before the severed hair fell to the ground, he had already grasped the strong man's wrist bone like lightning, "Crack!" With a snap, the kitchen knife fell to the ground The loud bang and the scream of the strong man sounded at the same time!

"Hands up and don't move!"

"Infantry detachment!"

Footsteps rushed over, and the criminal police rushed downstairs one after another.Bu Chonghua pressed the back of the strong man's head, "Bang!" He slammed that ferocious and crazy face into the fire glass cabinet, then lifted the bloody head out by his hair, took out the handcuffs, snapped them, and threw them away. Gave it to the men.

A middle-aged female criminal policeman, Meng Zhao, the only female field worker of the detachment, strode forward: "Are you all right, detachment?"

The suspect's head and face were covered with blood mixed with shards of glass, and he screamed in pain. He was hooded by two policemen and escorted out of the corridor left and right.The warning tape that was too late to be pulled due to emergency operations was finally pulled out, and an open space was separated in front of the corridor gate. There were five or six "demolition" with hoods squatting beside two police SUVs, all of them looked like bereaved dogs. Outside the white line was crowded with people watching the scene on the way home from work.

On the other side, the mother and son were being supported and trembling by the trainee policeman. The child was crying while sniffling: "Mom, mom, are you okay? Mom, I will do my homework well in the future..."

Bu Chonghua didn't answer Meng Zhao, he looked away, his face sinking like water:

"—what about the new one?"

Several criminal policemen around: "..."

Wu Yu stepped back inconspicuously.

But as soon as he moved his feet, Bu Chonghua turned his head like eyes in the back of his head, his sharp eyes fixed on him, and then he grabbed his neckline and grabbed Wu Yu from behind the crowd with one hand. Stepping forward, pointing to the pair of mother and child:

"I told you to keep an eye on the perimeter of the community, don't let the residents enter the building, what are you doing?!"

Wu Yu was caught off guard and was dragged a few steps. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Meng Zhao immediately stepped forward to explain: "Listen to me, Zhang Xiaoli and his interns temporarily changed the monitoring point with Xiao Wu, and he is not closed at the entrance of the community." about..."

"What did I ask you?!"

Wu Yu tilted his head back as hard as he could, and explained in embarrassment: "Captain, listen to me..."

Bu Chonghua asked sharply, "I asked you what you were doing!"

He was half a head taller than Wu Yuzu, his roar shook the corridor, the people around were silent, no one dared to speak.

"..." Wu Yu finally lowered his eyes obediently: "I'm sorry Captain, I will pay attention next time."

The head of the detachment is not the kind of appearance that is easy to get close to.

His height is quite outstanding even in the northern city of Jinhai, and he can give people a sense of oppression like a pinprick when he goes there.When he was studying in the police academy, he had been the main force of the basketball team. His cold and handsome face had been in the investigation department for four consecutive years. , the first impression of his face is always more fear than love.

Bu Chonghua's indifferent black eyes stared at Wu Yu, and the surroundings were quiet.

After a long while, he finally let go of his hand slowly, and pushed Wu Yu back.

Wu Yu staggered for half a step, only to see that Bu Chonghua stopped looking at him, pulled out the shards of glass that had pierced into the muscles of his arm, wiped the blood, and turned to the police car: "The third group will stay and clean up the scene, and the others will go back to arrange identification." The informant said that these grandsons had old cases, and their fingerprints and DNA were used to run through the database. Let the pre-trial old money come to see me with the materials first, and then notify the people from the anti-drug detachment of the Wuqiao Branch to come to assist——Cai Lin !"

The plainclothes man who called for rescue earlier ran down the stairs like flying: "Hey!"

"Arrange the interrogation overnight. No one can leave tonight. Whoever leaves will not be used tomorrow!"

Cai Lin didn't dare to talk nonsense: "Yes!"

Zhang Xiaoli and the other trainee policemen were crying and help Wu Yu to the back: "I'm sorry, little Angkor, brothers will definitely treat you to dinner tomorrow night..."

Not long after Wu Yu joined the team, he was already known as a bad-tempered, good-natured guy in the entire Nancheng branch. He seemed to accept his fate when targeted and reprimanded by the leaders, coughing and waving his hands to indicate that it was okay.

Cai Lin teased Sister Meng, and asked in a low voice: "This newcomer is actually doing well, why does Brother Hua find faults and scold him all day long?"

The "newcomer" Wu Yu has just been transferred to Jinhai City for two months. He probably has some background in the municipal party committee.Although he is a related household, he usually clocks in to work and leaves at the designated time. He is silent and honest. He does not stand out at work and is not too slow. If Bu Chonghua hadn't often scolded him, he would have no existence in the detachment. It is a competent and mediocre background board.

Sister Meng sighed: "He was the only one in the whole team who was recruited based on his relationship. How long do you think the team can bear with him given the personality that can't touch the sand in the eyes of the team?"

Cai Lin took a breath.

Sister Meng lowered her voice helplessly: "Wait until he can't stand it and leave."

People come and go in the small open space in front of the residential building, and every order is rapidly spreading and being carried out.The criminal police shuttled back and forth, the suspects begged for injustice, those who took pictures and left evidence, those who collected inspection materials, those who contacted the bureau, and those who made temporary records...everything was so orderly and organized.

In the corner of the scene, Wu Yu peeked at the time on his phone, it was 07:30.

"What's wrong with little Angkor?" Zhang Xiaoli was quite clever: "Is there something wrong with your family?"

Wu Yu hesitated and said "Well".

Although Wu Yu is often scolded by the team leader, he is quite popular with his colleagues-gentle and silent, reticent, never disputes with others, anyone can exchange the long and boring night shift with him for the day shift; Not outstanding, but a good guy who runs errands, does odd jobs, buys water, and buys food without complaining. He has collected all [-] good person cards from the criminal investigation detachment in the first two months.

"It's okay, you sneaked away." Zhang Xiaoli said in a low voice: "The infantry team made an appointment with the procuratorate at eight o'clock in the evening to discuss matters, and I heard the call just now, and he should leave later. I'll help you with the night shift today, so let's not talk about it later, ah."

Wu Yu struggled a bit. Even though he had only been here for two months, he already understood the temper of this young immediate boss very well—that unambiguous energy, even if you describe it as domineering, would be light.

but……

He opened the text message in the afternoon again: [Nine o'clock, the old place, starting from [-]. 】

Wu Yu glanced out of the corner of his eyes, not far away Bu Chonghua was standing beside the police car, and the child's mother was holding his hand tightly and she was so grateful that she couldn't let go.

——This boss, who is said to be from an elite background, well-known in northern China, and with a bright future, holds a lot in his heart, let alone 50 yuan, and may not even be worth [-] Zimbabwean dollars.

Wu Yu finally made up his mind, exhaled, and patted Zhang Xiaoli on the shoulder: "Thank you."

Zhang Xiaoli gave him a look of reassurance and handed over to me. Seeing him flashing out of the warning line and disappearing at the gate of the community, he was very proud of being able to repay little Angkor, and felt that even the police badge on his chest was more colorful .

"Thank you, thank you, thank you police officer! A good man will live a safe life, and his life will be safe! If it weren't for you, my son would really be finished. What's your name, police officer, and what is your police number? Later, I will write a letter of commendation to your Public Security Bureau, and I will go to Send the pennant..."

There was no expression on Bu Chonghua's handsome face, and he pressed the wound on his arm with gauze. Sister Meng hurried over to support the incoherent woman, and coaxed her away with a few words.

"Boss, Brother Qian and the others have arrived at the procuratorate, shall we go?" Cai Lin poked his head out of the car: "Shall I see you off?"

Bu Chonghua nodded and said nothing, and gave some instructions to his subordinates before getting into the car while pressing the bloody medical gauze.The black Wrangler SUV with police lights drove out of the community, turned a corner outside the gate, and turned onto the street where the evening rush hour had not yet completely passed.

"Boss, let me tell you something. Today, Wu Yu took the thunder for those interns." Cai Lin peeked at Bu Chonghua's face from the corner of his eye while driving, and said cautiously: "That person Wu Yu Well, I think it’s okay, although it’s a little boring, but it’s still honest, you don’t rely on your background to make trouble, so you will stay in our team from now on?”

"Do not stay."

"what?"

"Criminal investigation field work is not a place for anyone to use their qualifications as a springboard." Bu Chonghua said coldly: "Those who came in through the back door, none of them can stay for more than half a year, so they simply leave early and finish their work."

Cai Lin still wanted to say a few words of persuasion, but suddenly Bu Chonghua caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly turned his head to look out the car window——

On the side of the road outside the community, a bus was slowly arriving at the stop, and a familiar silhouette got on the bus amidst the crowd.

It was Wu Yu.

Cai Lin: "..."

The air suddenly froze completely, only the sentence "Whoever leaves will not be used tomorrow!" 10 minutes ago was still in his ears, and Cai Lin couldn't dare to look at his boss's face.

Bu Chonghua couldn't see the slightest expression on his watery face, he took out his mobile phone and quickly dialed a number, Meng Zhao's voice sounded from the opposite side in a short while, with the noisy and busy scene at the gate of the community in the background: "Hello? Team?"

"Tell Director Xu," Bu Chonghua's voice was as clear as ice, "Wu Yu won't come to work tomorrow."

"Wait, team!..."

A chill rushed to the top of Cai Lin's head, only to see Bu Chonghua cut off the call, and gently threw the phone back into his pocket.
