Balancing

The blue sky is cloudless, the jasper sky is clear, the breeze passes by the undulating tall buildings, passes through the busy market and traffic, and winds around the Chongyang trees on both sides of the long street. Down.

Over the noisy sky of Haiyang City, the orange autumn day is hot and bright, reflecting on the silent golden police badge on the top of the gate of the city special police team.

At this moment, Gu Tao was leisurely coming out of the vice-team office with a cup of old cadre tea in his hand, and returned to his own office. He put the thermos cup under the water dispenser and filled another cup before moving to the desk and sitting down. , This habit of drinking hot water has been around for some time. The man who used to be an iron-blooded man has ridden countless dangerous places and dangerous situations. Now he wants to cherish his body for his family, especially after his only sister left.

In the morning, he received a call from Lao Jiang’s son, Jian Ming, and made an appointment to meet him in the office at 03:30. Seeing that the time was approaching, he picked up the phone on his desk and called the guard room, telling him that someone named Jian Ming was looking for him. Bring him directly to his office.

When Jian Ming sat opposite to Gu Tao, Gu Tao couldn't help being shocked. On the one hand, Jian Ming's high-quality appearance and temperament, but more importantly, his face gave Gu Tao a feeling of inexplicable familiarity. Gu Tao knew them in his heart. It is impossible to have an intersection, so how did this familiar feeling come from?He couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Captain Gu" Jian Ming was a little puzzled when he saw the eagle-like face on the opposite side who seemed to be in a daze.

"Huh? Oh, Jian Ming, I heard Mr. Jiang mentioned you, a high-achieving student who has returned from studying in the United States. Seeing once is better than hearing a hundred things today. Haha" Gu Tao felt a little impolite, hurriedly put away his doubts, and exchanged greetings with Jian Ming.

"Thank you, Captain Gu. I should have come to visit you a long time ago. I have been dealing with the handover matters in the office since I came back. Please forgive me for not coming in time." Jian Ming is a person who understands the world, and Jiang Luchuan In particular, when meeting Gu Tao for the first time, etiquette comes first, showing his respect and importance.

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, hehe... Looking at your resume, you are not much older than my Lu Heng, so I'll call you Xiaojian." Gu Tao smiled kindly, and didn't want to be too polite with him, after all, the next thing to talk about However, Gu Tao still hopes that he can give a real opinion.

Jian Ming smiled and nodded, "Well, of course." He adjusted the mirror frame habitually, and then said, "Gu Dui, I heard from my father that you have something you want to talk to me about?"

"Um, yes, it's about Lu Heng. I know you haven't taken over his treatment for a long time, but I want to hear what you think about his current situation." Seeing that Jian Ming went straight to the point, Gu Tao didn't make any detours. , followed him and started talking.

"Lu Heng..." Jian Ming paused for a moment, and the corner of his mouth curved slightly, "Gu Dui, you are his uncle, so I won't say those official words. I think his situation should be viewed from two aspects. It can be said to be very good or very bad. To be precise, his symptoms are not serious, but he has always been very resistant to communication, which led to a long period of isolation. In addition, he is used to being alone and has a strong defensive mind. Rejection and trust in others makes self-healing so weak. Usually, his life has nothing but his home and work unit. For a person of his age, even without 'PTST', it is extremely abnormal."

Jian Ming picked up the water in front of him, took a sip, looked at Gu Tao's expression gesturing him to continue, and then said, "Gu Dui, I don't know if you and Lu Heng have been in regular contact, but I think the treatment he needs most now is not counseling. and medicine, but... Encouragement and confidence from relatives." Jian Ming saw Gu Tao's face suddenly froze, and some sudden disappointment slowly swept across his cheeks.

Jian Ming continued, "I have been in contact with him a few times, and he actually has a good personality. If I don't talk about that matter, I think he is quite normal."

"What? Normal?" Gu Tao finally answered.He recalled that Lao Jiang seemed to have said similar things to him half a year ago, as long as he didn't touch the incident, Lu Heng could not see any difference from ordinary people.

"Well. So, the incident that caused him to suffer from post-traumatic disorder was the crux of the problem. One day when he can tell it completely, he will be fine. But... before that, Captain Gu, I can help you Shall I get to know here first? This will help me formulate a treatment plan for him later on." Jian Ming said another purpose of this trip.

"Oh, the incident? Isn't it in his file? I remember that Lao Jiang was transferred from me."

"Yes, the file is just a record of what happened. I want to know what's not written on it, including why his mother was captured by gangsters so coincidentally, and how did she die under Lu Heng's gun?" Jian Ming looked at Gu with sharp eyes. Tao.

Gu Tao felt that he really couldn't underestimate the young man in front of him, and every sentence hit the point, as if he knew clearly that this was the key to sealing Lu Heng's heart.

"Ahem, little Jane, due to the regulations of the special police team, some things were indeed not recorded in the file, because this incident also involved a member of our special police team, who was an undercover agent who infiltrated the criminal side back then. So... . " Gu Tao hesitated to speak.

"Gu Dui, you know that we will strictly keep all the patient's information confidential and not leak it. If you are still in trouble, then don't force it. I believe it is not impossible to break through from Lu Heng. It is a matter of time." Jian Ming said Retreating is advancing, but from the other party's expression, he knows that as Lu Heng's uncle, Gu Tao has been shaken.

"...Okay, then I'll tell you what I know. It's just that I was in charge of another case back then, and I wasn't there when the incident happened. It was the captain of Lu Heng's team who relayed it to me. Lu Heng...can help." Gu Tao was full of guilt, feeling that he had paid too little attention to this nephew for so many years, and when he heard Jian Ming say that Lu Heng had endured alone for so long, his uncle did really badly. Competent.

"Thank you, Captain Gu." Jian Ming's thanks were extremely sincere.

Gu Tao lit a cigarette, turned his eyes to the window, recalled the white smoke he exhaled, and talked about it...

"Lu Heng has always been a brave kid since he was a child. It was his second year in the SWAT team. We have been with the SWAT team for more than a year in the transnational drug case. He insisted on applying to join the case team. I pampered him too much, let him get involved in such a big case in the first month he joined the blocking team, oh..." Gu Tao sighed heavily.

"At that time, we had a team member who sneaked into the opponent's drug den half a year ago. His name was Sun Zhehao, and he had a good relationship with Lu Heng. Perhaps it was for this reason that Lu Heng insisted on going in. That time we cooperated inside and outside and waited for a long time. I just waited for an opportunity to learn that they had a large drug trade at the Yunnan border, and Sun Zhehao was allowed to participate in it for the first time by the other party. We all proceeded according to the plan. The Gloria Hotel in our city is assembled, and my sister... oh... Lu Heng's mother works in the guest room department of that hotel." Gu Tao closed his eyes, trying to stabilize his ups and downs.

"Because of his relationship with Lu Heng, my sister also knew Sun Zhehao. I didn't know why at the time, so we bumped into each other. Sun Zhehao used the fake identity we made with them, and my sister was stupid. I just called him by his real name, and kept making friends. Those desperadoes are not stupid, and they probably discovered the clue at that time. Even though Sun Zhehao quickly hinted at my sister and intentionally dismissed them, those people still dubiously put the two of them together. Everyone took them to Yunnan. They just want to hold an extra bargaining chip in their hands. It’s best if nothing happens, and if something happens, it’s better to have more people to support it.”

"You mean that Sun Zhehao and Lu Heng were good friends in that incident?" Jian Ming made an important mark on this information.

"Well, Lu Heng had the best relationship with him when he first joined the police force." Gu Tao nodded his head in answer, and then said, "Later, after circling the Yunnan border for a few days, Sun Zhehao tried his best to have a call with us. He was so anxious to find his mother that he almost rushed to the other side's camp when he learned the truth. Lu Heng is a young boy who is reckless like his name and reckless. According to their deputy team on the phone call, the last two There was also a quarrel. I don’t know exactly what the quarrel was about. In short, in the battle two days later, Lu Heng rushed to the front like crazy, because he was a sniper, and the deputy team forced him to stay where he should be. In fact, he should not even be allowed to stay in the blocking position that day, and he should not be taken." Gu Tao lit a second cigarette, and Jian Ming was caught in the misty smoke. He saw a thick layer of mist covering his eye sockets.

"At the end of that fierce battle, the big guys on their side were all besieged by us, but they also tied up my sister and Xiaosun and threatened us to exchange them and leave. Originally, the deputy team wanted to communicate with the main team to see if they should agree to them first. Conditional. But Lu Heng, a foolish boy, couldn't hold back and insisted on applying for blocking. I hated that I was not there at the time. Maybe I could hold him down. Lu Heng's blocking level is very high, but he forgot that he was No one could persuade him to carry out the task in an extremely unstable mood. After shooting and killing one of the other party, they completely angered them. They pulled Xiaosun and my sister to their side to provoke Lu Heng. He succeeded in getting the kid to open the second wooden warehouse. He probably wanted to shoot the criminal in the rear, and he didn't know why the other party pushed his mother to the front. The bullet just... just passed through ...My sister's chest..." Gu Tao couldn't continue, he lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.

"Where's that Sun Zhehao?" Jian Ming was also quite shocked in his heart, he seemed to be able to personally feel Lu Heng's pain at that moment.

"When my sister fell to the ground, he also lost control. He wanted to look forward, but was opened by the other party... and died." Gu Tao was heartbroken and wiped out the cigarette butt between his fingers.

Neither of them spoke again.The office was suddenly silent as if no one was there, and there was a person trembling all over standing outside the office just across the door——Tian Kun.

Tian Kun held back his tears, slowly took a few steps back, then turned around and ran out of the corridor, out of the building, and ran all the way to the center of the practice field, kneeling on the ground, finally couldn't help crying, he took out a I turned on my old mobile phone, opened the text message, and there was a message from a number without a name. The message time was displayed on November 2015, 11.

"Kun Bao, there is still one week left, wait for me, wait for me to come back, I miss you..."

"Sun Zhehao, you bastard, you liar..." Tian Kun clenched his fists with both hands and hit the ground with all his strength.Tears dripped down on the grass between his arms, and his heart seemed to have a hole, allowing grief to overflow.
