Smells

After Yu Ying went to the cemetery to pay homage to her comrades-in-arms, she and her former colleagues went to visit the parents of her comrades-in-arms.

He had just arrived home and was taking off his police uniform to put on civilian clothes when he heard his cell phone ring.

"Hello? Brother Chen."

After the call was connected, Xiao Chen smoked the cigarette from his mouth, his voice trembling from the cold: "Where are you?"

"I'm at home, what's wrong?"

"I want to ask you something." Xiao Chen took another deep breath, "...about that old friend."

"Where are you?" Yu Ying heard the wind of "huhu" coming from the phone, and Xiao Chen's voice was also a little hoarse.

"I—" Xiao Chen paused, "Do you want to tell me?"

If you don't talk about it, I really think we should be pornographic.Xiao Chen thought to himself that he really wanted to say such an idiot to stimulate Yu Ying, but he couldn't.

It's really stupid to say it.

"Where are you? I'll look for you." Yu Ying said, "I'll tell you face to face."

"LEMO Bar, I'm at the door."

"Well, wait for me."

Yu Ying searched for the address of the bar, and the map showed that it was a gay bar.Yu Ying took off his police uniform and changed into civilian clothes. He wrapped himself in a thick coat and went out.

Yu Ying came very quickly, within the time of two cigarettes.

Xiao Chen had just finished smoking his third cigarette, turned his head and pressed the end of the cigarette against the rough concrete wall to extinguish it, and threw it into the nearby trash can.

Urban men and women are bustling at the entrance of the bar, but Yu Ying's figure is so eye-catching, even if he is wearing the simplest dark cotton clothes, people can notice him at a glance in the crowd.

In order to meet Yu Ying this morning, Xiao Chen specially dressed up and wore perfume.This is his first time wearing perfume.

Although a day passed, the scent of the perfume on his body was already very weak.

Xiao Chen wants style today, not temperature. He is dressed very eye-catchingly, but it is thin and not resistant to cold.

When Yu Ying walked in his direction, his lips were already purple from the cold.

If he was a few years younger, he would not be so delicate.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but sneezed.Yu Ying's complexion was not very good-looking, and the first thing she said when she saw him was: "I wear less clothes."

His voice was very deep, as if adding to the chill in the surrounding night.

Xiao Chen rubbed the tip of his nose: "It's windy."

"Go to my car."

Xiao Chen shook his head: "Ding Zhaoqiu is still inside, I have to wait for him."

Yu Ying said directly: "Call him." After finishing speaking, he took out his mobile phone, and Xiao Chen suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"Just say it here."

It seems that today is not suitable for being alone, at least as far as Xiao Chen is concerned, with his current emotional state, he doesn't want to put a sullen face on Yu Ying.

He is not the kind of person who will hide his emotions. He is happy when he is happy and unhappy when he is unhappy. He doesn't like to force a smile and pretend to be free and easy.

Yu Ying gave up, took off her coat and put it on Xiao Chen, with a firmer attitude: "Wear it."

Yu Ying has a good physique. Although she has been injured before, she is definitely stronger than Xiao Chen, and her muscles are not in vain.

Xiao Chen shrank his neck into his coat, feeling the residual warmth of his body.

"Brother Chen, what do you want to hear?"

"All about your old friend." Xiao Chen paused for a moment, "I heard he died to save you?"

Yu Ying hummed: "Who told you? Is that right?"

"No. Yes, I asked her myself. She knew very little and didn't say much."

The old man was Shen Jingkuo, who was Yu Ying's college classmate. The two had been classmates for four years. After graduation, they were assigned to the criminal investigation team of the Municipal Bureau.

In fact, after graduating from the police academy, there are very few people who can directly arrange to work as criminal police officers in the city bureau, and they usually start from the grassroots police stations.However, both of them had excellent grades and performance during their school days, and they were really the best among the same class of students, so they entered the city bureau directly after leaving the police academy.

In the early years, Yu Ying's temperament was wild, far less calm than now.He fought against his military father when he was young, and he was still the same after graduating from college. He was full of enthusiasm, and he held the belief that he would die in everything he did, and he was passionate and aggressive.

To put it bluntly, he is a stick, not settled enough, he is a stunned young man with workaholic attributes.

He was never afraid of death, and from the moment he put on the police uniform, he regarded death as a common thing, and he had to force himself to think so.

Until he really faced Shen Jingkuo's death.

"That time we went on a mission to investigate a case of sexual assault and murder of an underage girl, but when we arrived at the scene, we found out that the case was also involved in the drug trade."

The anti-narcotics team and the criminal investigation team are separated and each performs its duties. Yu Ying is a criminal policeman, not an anti-narcotics policeman.The murderers he was used to seeing were at least not all desperadoes compared to the drugged-up people.

They rushed to the scene to investigate clues after receiving reports from the masses, but they happened to run into an ongoing drug deal.It was an old house in the suburbs, surrounded by deserted people, and there were not many drug dealers at the scene, but they had very few police forces at the time.

They are all experienced and capable criminal police officers. Their keen sense of smell and excellent on-site response ability allowed them to quickly control some drug dealers.

"But there were really too few people at that time." Yu Ying's voice was particularly hoarse, but her tone was flat. "We just went to survey the scene, and we never expected to encounter such a situation. I ran away from a drug dealer. out."

Shen Jingkuo's voice seemed to be still echoing in Yu Ying's ears.

"Yu Ying!" He roared hoarsely, and swiftly handcuffed the criminal under him.

In fact, according to the situation at the time, Yu Ying should not have chased him out.

Their police force is too scarce. If the drug dealers have support outside, once they chase after them and offend them, a larger criminal group will be involved, which will only put the people present in a more dangerous situation.

Shen Jingkuo followed Yu Ying's pace and chased him out.

It was raining lightly that day, the sky was overcast, and the soil by the river was watered soft by fine rain.Figures flashed by the river like a gust of wind, mud and water splashed everywhere, leaving chaotic and heavy footprints.

Yu Ying held the gun with both hands to her side and sprinted with all her strength. The loud voice resounded through the river bank: "Don't move! Run and shoot again!"

He could tell that the man was not holding a gun, because with a gun in his hand, he would not have fled in such a panic.

"But I didn't expect him to have a grenade." Yu Ying's voice choked up, he paused for a moment, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smoked vigorously, "...Jing Kuo was killed by the bomb. "

Xiao Chen trembled all over.

Generally, the ordnance circulated in drug-related groups is either self-made or illegally purchased on the black market. The actual harm is definitely not as harmful as that of the military standard.But it's more than enough power to take a person's life.

"He saw the man pull out the grenade, rushed up and pushed me into the river."

It was a matter of seconds, Yu Ying fell into the water abruptly, with the gurgling water flowing in his ears, accompanied by a dull explosion sound, all his senses fell into a highly distorted state.

He broke through the water, his upper body floated out of the water, raised his gun with trembling hands, and instinctively shot a few shots at the staggering black shadow in the distance.

Sombra fell.

The water droplets on the eyelashes kept rolling down, and the turbid river water blurred Yu Ying's eyes. He wanted to sink back to the bottom of the water, but he couldn't.

Yu Ying swam towards the river bank like crazy, his eyes were scarlet, and he desperately climbed up the soft soil.

The teammates rushed over.

But Shen Jingkuo has already sacrificed.

The young soldier lying on the ground was already covered in blood and his flesh was mutilated.

The scar at the end of Yu Ying's right eye was left that day.

He was only scratched in the eye by shrapnel, while his comrade in arms passed away forever.

That should be the price behind that first-class individual merit medal.

The dead are gone, the living are like this.

He no longer regards death as an insignificant thing, and the price of understanding this truth is another person's life.

Yu Ying didn't talk about the follow-up, nor did she say how she spent the early years.

"That's all." Yu Ying lowered her head and wiped her eyes vigorously with her fingers, "About that old friend."

"Sorry, cough..." Xiao Chen coughed, "I insist on asking this."

"I will tell you sooner or later." Yu Ying said softly.

The alcohol in his blood hadn't evaporated completely, Xiao Chen asked with a little drunkenness, "Xu Ke said that comrade-in-arms likes you, is he your first love?"

Yu Ying did not answer.

When he and Shen Jingkuo were still in the police academy, Shen Jingkuo had shown his affection for him, and after he was assigned to the criminal investigation team, he said "like" to him more than once in a joking manner.

"I said Officer Yu, don't bury yourself in the file all day long, look at my brother, how many years have I been behind you." Shen Jingkuo put his arms around Yu Ying's neck from behind, locked his throat, and forced him to look up, " Going to eat skewers after work? My cousin opened a barbecue restaurant, and I invite you."

Yu Ying smiled and strangled him by the neck, pushed him away against his chin: "Go aside, don't delay my work."

Yu Ying didn't know whether her feelings for him could be called liking. At that time, she was young and vigorous, and she was so focused on her work that she didn't care about her love.

Shen Jingkuo has been whispering in his ear for so long, but he has never formally discussed these matters with Yu Ying.

Both are the same person.They have more important missions and cannot disperse excess energy on personal feelings.

Should like it.

It's just that there is no opportunity to break through the status quo.

After a long time, Yu Ying replied, "It's my first love."

Xiao Chen was really drunk, and asked hurriedly: "You have been delaying not being with me, do you have something to do with that old friend?"

Yu Ying's face suddenly changed.

He turned sideways, broke away from the wall supporting him, walked up to Xiao Chen and stood face to face with him.

"Why do you think so?" Yu Ying's face sank, and Xiao Chen saw the imperceptible sullenness hidden in his eyes.

Xiao Chen lowered his head and pressed his fingers between his eyebrows.

"He is my comrade-in-arms, and I have feelings with him. It is not only love, but also comrade-in-arms. And I have never been burdened with his emotional life for me." Yu Ying suddenly hugged Xiao Chen The back of his neck, forcing him to look up at himself, "Brother Chen, you really make me feel uncomfortable when you say that."

Xiao Chen looked up at him, his eyes flickered, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I drank too much."

"You can't say such things if you drink too much!" Yu Ying reprimanded in a low voice.

I like you so much and want to spend the rest of my life with you so much, how can you have such a ridiculous idea?

There were passers-by around, and when they saw the situation here, they all looked sideways.Coincidentally, Ding Zhaoqiu also came out from the bar, just in time to meet this scene.

"Hey, what are you two doing?" Ding Zhaoqiu hurried over.

The eyes of both of them were a little red, and their gestures seemed to be arguing. Ding Zhaoqiu hesitated and said, "You... what's going on?"

Xiao Chen lowered his eyelashes, pulled Yu Ying's hand from his neck, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

"Have you had a fight?" Ding Zhaoqiu asked in a low voice.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Chen said it again, and he took off Yu Ying's coat and gave it to him, "I'm going back first."

He turned around and left, Yu Ying pressed his shoulder: "I'll see you off."

Xiao Chen shook his head with his back turned to him, and pushed his hand away: "No need."

"You drank too much." Yu Ying said in a deep voice.

"I'll take a taxi."

Yu Ying frowned tightly, and didn't force her anymore.

Xiao Chen walked slowly towards the street, his gait was unsteady, and his drunkenness seemed to be getting stronger.
