Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose

Seeing that the Summertime Music Festival is approaching, on the public screen of Anonymous Drug Trafficking Planet, people are asking when new products will be released and how to get them.However, the top management did not reply for a long time, only a few relatively high-level silver and copper members occasionally replied with a sentence of "waiting for the music festival".

Shao Lin analyzed several bars and identified an underground activity site belonging to the Snake Gang. Yan Jingjing and Li Fu thoroughly confirmed the underground relationship between Chen Xin and the Snake Gang through careful investigation.Now that Chen Xin is dead, the secret planet and Liang Zi of the Snake Gang are completely settled, and the fight is probably only short of a fire.

But as soon as the plan was handed in, Xia Yi was called into the office by Zheng Jiansen.

The document was laid flat on Zheng Jiansen's desk.

The man lowered his head and took a sip of his tea, his voice difficult to discern, "You came up with this plan to sow discord?"

Xia Yi couldn't figure out Zheng Jiansen's meaning for a while, but felt that the air pressure in the office seemed a little low, so he could only say, "Everyone in the group thought about it together."

"Thinking of it together?" Zheng Jiansen snorted coldly, and turned his hands away, "I think Shao Lin thought of it, right?"

Xia Yi: "..."

There was silence in the office for a long while before Xia Yi stiffly choked out a sentence: "Kill two birds with one stone, neither left nor right are good things."

"Yes. You are right. They are indeed not good things." Zheng Jiansen suddenly changed the subject, "However, what kind of 'bad things' are they and what punishment should they accept? Is it up to you to decide?"

Xia Yi opened his mouth and swallowed the words again.

"You are too young, and you have never seen gang fights." Zheng Jiansen paused, and said slowly, "But when I was your age, there were three factions in Yan'an City, who robbed each other of land every now and then. Residents in some districts dare not go out at night.”

"Suppose—we're just assuming—that you succeeded in sowing dissension and aroused the antagonism between the two forces. Today I smashed your place, and tomorrow I set fire to your territory. According to what happened last time with Chen Xin , we know that this criminal group still has overseas military weapons in their hands, so it is entirely possible for a few more lives to be lost, right? When the two sides fight, we policemen are of course at ease. But what about those who were injured or even died in the conflict? What about the shops that were smashed, burned, and injured? What about the people of Yan'an City who were frightened by such things? ? Have you considered those people?"

"Of course, you can say that these people deserved to be involved in drug trafficking and lost their lives in this kind of fight. You can call them deserve it, but it is really you who provoke conflicts and make them 'deserve it'. Can Xia Yi decide?"

"I," Xia Yi swallowed, faltering, the same sentence, "I just want to take the initiative to do something."

"Yeah, I know."

"Xia Yi, maybe one day," Zheng Jiansen paced back and forth a few steps, stopped in front of the young man, and looked at him with piercing eyes, "You will hold in your hand a power that is unimaginable now. Your decision will be Let some people live, let some people die. But in your heart, what do you use to make decisions? What do you use to measure those things that cannot be measured? Often at that time, there is no time to make you confused. "

As he spoke, Zheng Jiansen stretched out his index finger, and lightly poked Xia Yi's chest: "So, you must always have a scale here. You have to understand whether the decisions you make are to satisfy some of your own wishes, or to abide by your wishes. A promise to this police uniform?"

"I don't have any 'decisions from above' here." Zheng Jiansen handed the document back, "You still have the right to exercise this plan. If you nod, we will implement it according to the plan, and I will never stop you. If you give up, then we will Just give up. The only thing is——Xia Yi, I need you to figure this out for yourself."

Xia Yi grasped the plan subconsciously, and the paper crumpled up.

After coming out of Zheng Jiansen's office, Xia Yi was bored alone for a long time.

No one expected that just the night before the music festival, Xia Yi threw the "dog eat dog" plan, which the team had been busy all night for several days, into the shredder.After returning home, he flushed the "well-prepared" Sprite pops into the sink, collected the capsules, and threw them into the trash can.

Xia was a little bored.After all, it is impossible to say that there is no emotion in the heart of a plan that has invested so much energy.

Shao Lin looked at him without saying a word, just took a glass and opened the wine cabinet.Xia Yi never drank, and he bought most of the wine in it.But this time, Shao Lin's eyes fell on the mulberry wine that Xia Yi brought back last time, and suddenly his heart moved: "I'll try yours. I've never drank mulberry wine."

Xia Yi stared at Shao Lin's proficiency in opening the bottle, and rarely said, "I want it too."

Shao Lin chuckled and glanced at him: "Aren't you intolerant to alcohol? This wine is 13 degrees, and tomorrow's music festival is a big task, why don't you just forget it?"

"I'm a little disappointed." Xia Yi handed over an empty glass goblet, "I know what I know, I'll drink with you, and I'll go to bed after drinking."

Shao Lin was careful, and only poured half a glass for someone.

He leaned against the bar, holding the wine glass between his slender fingers, shaking it lightly to sober up: "Why, Bureau Zheng scolded you?"

"No." Xia Yi mumbled, "He didn't scold me. It was my decision to give up the plan."

Shao Lin raised an eyebrow quite unexpectedly: "Oh?"

A few days ago, at this bar, some people stayed up all night excitedly to prepare popping candies, as excited as if they had discovered a new world.

"why?"

Xia Yi stared at the purple-red liquid in the cup, and reflected: "Actually, I thought about why I did this. Because I know that there is a high probability that something will happen at the music festival, but I can't do anything. So , I always feel that if I don’t try to do something, I will be negligent. If I follow this plan, then no matter what happens at the festival, I can comfort myself: I have tried so hard to intervene, and I have done my best.”

"Besides, I want to catch them too much. I want to pull out those cancers, I want to make meritorious service, and I want to do some cool show operations that will become legends in the mouths of later people." Xia Yi said in a low voice, "I want to. I want to But I really thought about it too much, and I already thought of any means."

"Besides, I still have a very dangerous misunderstanding in my heart. In fact, Shao Lin, you also have it-that is, neither of the two parties is a good person, so the bad person bites the dog, even if they die, they deserve it. But in fact, we are not qualified to judge Yes. No matter those people are upstream manufacturers, downstream distributors, or professional killers, they should be sentenced to death and sentenced to several years. This is the justice that only the court can give. Not us."

"But what am I doing now?" Xia Yi shook his head, "I not only want to avoid the responsibility afterwards, but also want to be a hero. Moreover, driven by these desires, I have become a self-proclaimed executor of justice in a certain sense. .”

Shao Lin looked at him silently, but his eyes were clear.

"My dad was also a soldier before he went to sea." Xia Yi whispered, "He taught me since I was a child that a person should stand upright. He told me that a person's 'rightness' starts from the ankle. The ankle Crooked, the knees are crooked, the knees are crooked, the pelvis is crooked, the pelvis is crooked, how can the spine be straight? Often, the bottom of the feet is the part that I tend to ignore the most. It’s too low, too inconspicuous , but the foundation of everything.”

"The matter we have is small, and it's nothing if we really do it. It's easy to explain—an extraordinary means at an extraordinary time." Xia Yi raised his head and looked at Shao Lin seriously, "But it is also because of this that I should Be vigilant. I should never allow my own desires to dictate the authority I can exercise."

Shao Lin raised his wine glass and saluted him silently, but his heart was full of indescribable mixed feelings.

He was amazed by the man's candor.He is frankly cowardly, frankly vain, frankly erroneous, but frankly radiant, almost dazzling.

how about you?

Shao Lin couldn't help asking himself—do you dare to dissect yourself completely, do you dare to face yourself like this?Can you speak your desires without concealment, can you not add various embellishments to your behavior?Is it true that when a person is completely honest, those shadows, pains, and nameless fears have no place to hide?

In a blink of an eye, both of their wine glasses bottomed out.

"Have some more." Xia Yi squinted his eyes, licked his lips, and knew the taste very much, "I said this wine tastes really good? It's sweet and sour, with a strong fruity taste. Hey, I'll go there next time Old Qi sells some."

Shao Lin looked at the glass handed over by the other party again, and frowned slightly: "Let's forget it?"

"What are you doing? Look at me, do you think I'm drunk?"

Shao Lin looked Xia Yi's face up and down, and seeing that his cheeks were not red, he poured another half a cup for Xia Yi.But who would have thought that someone Xia raised his head and took a gulp of suffocation, and even let out a pleasant "ha", his eyes formed two crescent moons: "This wine is so magical, I want to sing after drinking it."

Shao Lin snorted and laughed.

And you said you weren't drunk?

However, he had never heard Xia Yi sing before, so he deliberately teased others, saying how about you sing?But the moment Xia Yi put down his wine glass, Shao Lin's face darkened.

A high-pitched singing voice was heard across the sky above the kitchen: "Sunset! Xishan! Hong Xiafei! Warrior! Target shooting! Return the battalion!" Sing."

Before Shao Lin could stop talking, the neighbor next door got angry and started banging on the wall, and the TV at home was vibrating: "Are you sick? Singing in the middle of the night??? The children were woken up! Do you want to sleep?!"

"What? Woke up?" Xia Yi narrowed his eyes and howled again, "Then I'll sing another song! Coax people to sleep! Two! Tigers! Two! Tigers! Run fast! Run fast~~ ~"

At that moment, Shao Lin finally understood what Yan Jingjing said, "You don't understand the horror of the team leader when he is dominated by alcohol", and even had the urge to pull his own hair.

However, someone Xia still sang very devotedly: "One without chrysanthemums ~ one without balls ~ how strange~~~"

Shao Lin picked up an apple and stuffed Xia Yi's mouth with one hand, and took out a small jar of chocolate almond cookies that he baked himself on the weekend from the snack cabinet with the other hand, and rushed out like oiling the soles of his feet. In my mother's hand, I kept bowing and apologizing, saying that the idiot in my family was drunk, and he must be educated and criticized when he went back. It really caused you trouble.

After all, neighbors have complained many times about the sound at night.Xia Yi went out to the field and came back at two or three o'clock in the morning. Sometimes he was exhausted, and the iron gate would slam.It happened that the neighbor's child was in poor health and had a very light sleep. It took a long time to fall asleep again after being woken up.

After Shao Lin finished repairing the relationship with the neighbors, he found that the culprit of everything—a certain silly dog ​​had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

Shao Lin tiptoed past the sofa, turned up the air conditioner, let the cold air blow to the ceiling, put a blanket on the person, and finally turned off the headlights.

The living room was plunged into darkness in an instant.

Shao Lin suddenly squatted down in front of the sofa, staring at Xia Yi in a daze, his beautiful eyes shining brightly in the night.His gentle eyes traced Xia Yi's eyebrows, followed his straight nose bridge, and finally landed on those generous and full lips.

This silly dog ​​looks good too.

By coincidence, Shao Lin quietly moved a little closer, so close that he could feel the rising and falling breathing of the other party.The warm and moist air gently caressed the fine hairs on his face, and for no reason rubbed a tiny electric current in Shao Lin's heart.

But at this moment, Xia Yi frowned suddenly, and shrugged his nose in his sleep, as if he smelled something.

Shao Lin retreated sharply.

At this moment, Xia Yi's nose stopped moving again.I saw him change his posture, and hummed again in a daze: "No~~Dandan~~~"

Speechlessly and affectionately, Shao Lin patted his head, got up and went back to his bedroom.

On the second day, the SummerTime Music Festival, the bureau was in full swing.

Just three hours before the official opening, Yan Jingjing, who had been monitoring the planet, suddenly notified everyone: "There is a message from a person with a gold rank!"

Everyone surrounded the past in a hive, only to see that the gold-1 premium account sent three messages in a row.The first one is [Confirm!New stock is in place! ], the second one is a poster, and the third one is [Everyone understands].

After a while, a large number of anonymous users replied with the number [1], or a word [understand], and some people began to copy and send the same poster.

"Huh?" Xia Yi stared at the screen for a moment, and couldn't help scratching his head, "They understand now? Isn't this the poster for the music festival???"

In the background of the poster, fireworks exploded in the night sky to become the symbol of the music festival, and underneath were tents, moving figures and colored lights turned into flowing light strips, and the large artistic characters on the right marked the time, place, and location of the music festival. Organizer and other information.

Yan Jingjing searched the Internet, and brought up the Summertime Music Festival posters that have been overwhelming in the past few days on the screen. Indeed, they were exactly the same at a glance.

"Wait," Shao Lin was the first to notice the difference, and pointed to the small white characters on the lower left corner of the poster, "Two words have been changed here!"

On the normal poster, the copywriting is: [When the drum beats and the gorgeous fireworks ignite the night sky, you will embrace the fluorescent sea and find freedom from music. 】In the poster of Secret Planet, the word "music" was changed to "time machine".
