Same crime

In Suijiang in August, after a light rain on the first day of autumn, the heat of summer was at the end of its strength. Although it was still struggling, it could not resist the intrusion of the north wind in the morning and evening, and gradually restrained its power.

Early in the morning, as soon as Qin Zhengzheng arrived at the unit, he knocked on the door of Li Hongbing's office.Last winter, Zhang Yingluo resolutely went to the Municipal Bureau because he failed in the competition for the deputy chief, and Li Hongbing took over as the captain of the criminal police team.

Qin Zhengzheng probed in first to observe the situation in Li Hongbing's office. Seeing that there was no one inside, he walked in with a smile. "Team Lee."

Li Hongbing shifted his gaze from the documents on the desktop to him, took off the flower glasses on the bridge of his nose, took a sip of water from his teacup, and asked him, "Zhengzheng, what's the matter?" His temples were stained with a layer of hoarfrost, especially in the more than half a year since he took over as the captain, he had obviously aged several years.

Qin Zhengzheng first smiled, and then handed over the KFC breakfast he was carrying in his hand. He knew that he had to correct his attitude before asking for leave, "Leader, why don't you ask for a day off?"

Of course Li Hongbing knew that he was pretending to be a child, so he asked with a smile, "Go to visit your teacher's prison again? When?" He had to ask for leave every month. Although he and the former captain Zhang Yingluo had persuaded him many times not to get too close to his teacher, this kid listened to everything, but he ignored this sentence.But they have to admit that Qin Zhengzheng is rapidly growing into a mature, steady, and courageous criminal police officer. His integrity and passion have won the recognition of the entire police force. Dang, it is undeniable that he has inherited his father's mantle, and he is even better than his father. It can be said that his roots are just young.So his little bit of stubbornness, as the leader, they can't say anything, so let's take it as a manifestation of gratitude.Every time Qin Zhengzheng asked for leave to visit the prison, the leaders would readily agree.

Qin Zhengzheng waved his hands and said, "No, he was released this Friday after serving his sentence. I'll pick him up."

Li Hongbing wanted to drink water again, and when he heard this, he put down his hand holding the water glass, and asked in surprise, "Isn't it five years? It's not time yet, right?"

"No, the sentence was commuted. There was a wounding incident in the first prison at the beginning of this year. Mr. Gong rescued the inmate in the same cell and was injured. Afterwards, he applied for a commutation of sentence, and the court approved it for a year and a half." He said this. He seemed to want to prove to the leaders that the person he liked was not as bloody as their hands were stained with sinful blood as they thought. Gong Yuechao was a A man of courage and integrity.

But at the same time, he couldn't hide his sadness. Whenever he thought of the shock and helplessness when he received Lu Yuwei's phone call that evening, his heart felt as if he was being pulled hard by something.

"Oh, yes, you seem to have said that I've been so busy that I forgot." Li Hongbing patted his forehead, "Then you go, it's a good thing."

"Thank you, leader." Qin Zhengzheng bowed to Li Hongbing in a daze, "Leader, don't forget to have breakfast." He pointed to the breakfast on the table and hurried out.

Back in the office, sitting on the chair, there is no work to do for the time being, he couldn't help but think of the night when Gong Yuechao was injured——

"Our prison...an incident just happened. Mr. Gong was injured." Lu Yuwei called him, his voice full of anxiety.

"What? What are you talking about? Lu Yuwei, don't tease me." When Qin Zhengzheng received the call, he had just returned home from visiting the prison in Changyong, and he hadn't even had time to change his shoes after entering the door.

"I'm kidding you, one of the prisoners in their cell stabbed him with a sharpened plastic ruler. Hey, I can't tell you the details now, I'm going to be fucking unlucky, maybe You need to be punished." Lu Yuwei was about to hang up the phone while talking.

"Lu Yuwei, wait a moment." Qin Zhengzheng cared about Gong Yuechao, and hurriedly stopped him, wanting to ask clearly: "Mr. Gong, is he all right? It's just a ruler. How can it be hurt?" He returned his heart It was a fluke, but he also knew that Lu Yuwei's tone did not seem to be all right.

The footsteps on the other end of the phone were hurried, and he could hear Lu Yuwei's panting voice, and Lu Yuwei swears angrily: "Fuck, what kind of plastic ruler do you think? Is it used by elementary school students? No, it's that A thickened long ruler for drawing, the kind used by the teacher when I was in school. That thing, sharpened, is no different from a knife. It stabs that ugly grandson to kill other people, your teacher See you, step forward to help people prevent disasters."

Qin Zhengzheng was dumbfounded at the time. Regardless of his mother's question, he opened the door and was about to leave, "Lu Yuwei, I have to go and have a look."

"Don't come, it's all a mess now, are you here to add to the chaos? I haven't had time to entertain you yet, and he has been sent to the hospital! I won't tell you anymore, wait for my news, I'll hang up first " After that, there was a busy tone from the other end of the phone.

Qin Zhengzheng stood at the door holding his mobile phone, at a loss, the door was wide open, and his mind suddenly went blank.

Why did his teacher, the person he likes, get hurt all of a sudden, and we met again in the afternoon, how is he now?

From deciding to confess to today, in the past three years, he carefully cared for the feelings he created for himself, relying on monthly visits to fill his memory, but only took a look, how could this person Just... hurt.

With a sound of "bang", the phone fell to the ground. Qin Zhengzheng bent down to pick up the phone, and suddenly felt that the strength in his body was about to be drained, so he squatted on the ground. He didn't know what happened to him , I can't make any sound.The wind blowing in from the door closed the door. Seeing that something was wrong with him, his mother came over to ask, but after Qin Zhengzheng stood up, he took off his shoes like a walking corpse, went straight back to the room without saying a word, and threw the whole person on the bed. His mind was full of worries about Gong Yuechao's injury.

He didn't eat dinner, he still had a fever in the middle of the night, and he barely slept with his cell phone in his arms, because whenever he fell asleep, he would dream that Gong Yuechao was covered in blood, and then quickly turned on the phone to see if there was any news from Lu Yuwei.He also tossed his mother for a long time like this.The hard work paid off, and he finally waited for Lu Yuwei's WeChat message early the next morning: "Ms. Gong was sent to the hospital in the prison area. After the wound was treated, the doctor said that there was a little inflammation and a fever. There is a specialist Take care, don't worry. I was called to talk in the middle of the night, and I haven't given you any news. "

Qin Zhengzheng read this message a dozen times, and tried his best to analyze the meaning of Lu Yuwei's words. His brain was burnt to a pile of paste, and after finally understanding it as "Mr. Gong is fine", he felt sick. All better.After he was overjoyed, he remembered that he forgot to ask for directions and why, so he quickly sent a message to care about his good friend.

Qin Zhengzheng came out of the bedroom and saw his mother falling asleep on the sofa, so he couldn't bear it. He put a blanket on her and went to the kitchen to cook a pot of chicken noodle soup.When his mother woke up and asked him what happened last night, he thought about it while eating his noodles, and almost blurted out something about Gong Yuechao, but he didn't say it in the end.Because he saw that his mother's temples were already graying, and there were still wrinkles on the corners of her eyes that could not be erased. He had tried hard to hide his worries in front of his mother in the past few years, and fought hard for every blind date that had no results, but he still did not. Courage to tell her his love for the man trapped deep within the high wall.

"It's nothing. A friend is injured. He's out of town. I can't go to see him. I'm a little worried." Qin Zhengzheng lied casually, and lowered his head to eat noodles again, not paying attention to his mother's suspicious look at him.

Later, a serial murder case occurred in Suijiang, and two cases were in Lixia District. The entire criminal police team had to participate in the investigation of the case. Zhengzheng was very busy at that time, and he couldn't spare time to go to Changyong, so he found a way and asked Gong Yuechao's situation when he had some free time every day, just like the monk Tang in "A Chinese Journey to the West".He knew that Gong Yuechao had woken up, that he was discharged from the hospital, and that he had applied for commutation of his sentence, so he specifically contacted Chen Yusheng to ask if he could help, but Chen Yusheng said he could handle it.Not long after, Chen Yusheng told him the news that Gong Yuechao's sentence could be reduced by one and a half years.

The serial murder case finally broke after a month. The first thing Qin Zhengzheng did was not to go home and rest, but to ask for leave to see Gong Yuechao. He saw that Gong Yuechao, who had put on a little weight before, lost weight again. , his complexion was not very good, he was so distressed that he held up the phone and shed tears. When Gong Yuechao asked him: "Why are you crying?", his tears flowed more visibly.

"You're finally coming out." He said this, with tears in his eyes. He saw Gong Yuechao smiling uncomfortably and touching the back of his head with his hands. Qin Zhengzheng thought he was so cute, so he finally suppressed his tears and said to him: "Wait for you to come out, I will pick you up."

"Don't bother, someone will pick it up." Gong Yuechao said.

Although these words made Qin Zhengzheng a little sad, he still said stubbornly: "They are them, and I am me."

Wearing a pure white T-shirt, Gong Yuechao walked out of the gate of Suijiang No. [-] Prison carrying his personal belongings.Before leaving, the young guard Lu Yuwei helped him pack his luggage and said to him, "Mr. Gong, go out and don't look back."

"En." Gong Yuechao nodded in response, and said sincerely to Lu Yuwei, "Thank you for taking care of me these past few years."

What he said made the child a little embarrassed, and he smiled and said you were welcome.

Autumn had just entered not long ago, and although it was cool in the morning and evening, there was still summer heat in the daytime, the sun was high in the sky, and there was not a trace of wind. The moment he stepped out of the gate, he took a deep breath.

It's the air of freedom that I haven't seen for a long time, so nice.

He saw three cars parked side by side at the gate. If it wasn't for his acquaintances standing in front of each car, he would have thought that other than him, someone else would be out of prison today.Shouldn't he be released after serving his sentence?As for making such a big battle?

Qin Zhengzheng was the first to greet him. As soon as he came up, the child showed his white teeth, smiled very sweetly, and stretched out his hand to pick up his luggage.

Chen Yusheng followed after him, gave him a big hug, and whispered in his ear, "I've wanted to hug you for a long time."

This hug made Gong Yuechao feel very secure, he smiled and said, "Didn't you get it?"

Only Shi Mucheng was leaning against his car, with sunglasses in his mouth, and his arms wrapped around his chest. When he approached, he opened his car door and bowed in a gesture of invitation.

Gong Yuechao looked at Chen Yusheng, then glanced at Qin Zhengzheng, Chen Yusheng raised his head and told him, "Go." But Qin Zhengzheng was a little disappointed, carrying his bag, looking at him from afar in bewilderment.

Gong Yuechao didn't get in the car, but also gave Shi Mucheng a hug. Shi Mucheng looked back at Qin Zhengzheng, and asked him with a smile, "That's your little policeman, right? The young man is quite energetic, not bad."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's mine." Gong Yuechao pushed the person away and got into the car.

Shi Mucheng took the conversation quite rudely and said, "It's not yours? If you don't like it, I'll go for it."

But when he heard a cold snort coming from the driver's seat, Shi Mucheng opened the door of the driver's seat and said to the man driving: "Gu Ming, what's your opinion? Go, go, I'll drive, you go and drive the car." The lawyer's car, I have something to say to Teacher Gong and Lawyer Chen."

This is Gu Ming...Gong Yuechao obediently got out of the car before he had time to take a closer look.Through the car window, he saw Qin Zhengzheng standing outside with his bag alone, looking a little pitiful, and told him not to come, this child is not obedient. "Just follow our car." Gong Yuechao said to him.

"Oh." Qin Zhengzheng nodded, looking back at him three times at a time, opened the door and got into his small car. When getting in the car, because he was distracted, his head was bumped by the door frame. Gong Yuechao laughed.

When the car drove away, Gong Yuezhao's gaze stayed on the tall and large iron gate. "The No. [-] Prison of Suijiang City" and the words "Work hard to reform and return to society" painted on the wall gradually faded away. Far.

Shi Mucheng specially pushed up the car windows to block his sight, and said in a pretentious manner that the air conditioner should be turned on, but Gong Yuezhao knew in his heart that Shi Mucheng didn't want him to have any nostalgia for that place anymore.

At this time, Chen Yusheng also held his hand and said to him, "Everything will be good in the future."
