implication [end times]

Two days before the newcomer joins the job, the main job content is to catch ducks in the pond.

This pond covers a large area, hidden in a mountain nest, and there are several vegetable fields around it.Looking to the east, the nearest buildings are some buildings with red roofs and white walls. According to Zhan Yiye, this is the only mental hospital in the main city, and many people are locked up in it.

Zhan Yiye also said that the mental hospital is at No. 101 Baihua Road.Baihua Road on the third ring road is a main road connecting the urban area and the suburbs. Even if this is the end of the road, it still belongs to the jurisdiction of the tenth detachment.

As for why the guards came to the suburbs to catch ducks, Zhan Yiye mentioned this, with a stiff smile on his face, and gritted his teeth: "I have to ask our captain."

Ding Taitai, the captain of the tenth detachment of the Third Ring Security Bureau, is often called Mrs. Ding by his colleagues.Ding Taitai is passionate, enthusiastic, and helpful. The captains of other detachments love him very much, and they all push their chores to him.The residents in the jurisdiction also love him very much, and come to him when they encounter trivial things.

This job was brought by Dean Feng of the mental hospital.According to Dean Feng, there were a lot of weird wild ducks nearby, and they kept quacking at night, which made the patient very dizzy, so he had no choice but to apply for a security investigation.

In the complaints of Dean Feng's serial single arrest, Captain Ding patted his chest and said that he would definitely arrest the suspect.

So during the few days when the work was relatively free, the captain enthusiastically called on all members to devote themselves to the great cause of serving the people.

He Rongsheng and Ran Yu squatted around this pond for two days, only hearing his voice, but not seeing his duck, not even picking up a duck feather.

The mission was declared a failure, and Captain Ding led the team back in a huff.But soon, the tenth detachment received a new task.

The task this time is much more formal, to investigate the possible underground gathering at No. 23 Ginkgo Road, and take it away.

Captain Ding came back from a meeting at the Third Ring Branch Bureau, summoned his almost brand new team, and had a serious meeting: "This task is of great importance. Although our detachment is co-organizing, we must also play its due role!"

Zhan Yiye: "So, what is the task we have been assigned?"

"Squat around the target location, look for suspicious people, and wait for the opportunity to sneak in."

Near No. 23 Ginkgo Road, there are rows upon rows of shops, closely next to each other, like building blocks in a mess, crowded up and down, left and right.When Ran Yu came here for the first time, he was always worried that some of the load-bearing logs that had been soaked in sewage would break and the entire building would collapse.

In order to attract customers, colorful neon lights have been installed on the fronts of many shops. At night, this long street will be flashing with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple lights, dyeing the stagnant water on the road and the faces of passers-by in messy colors. .

Captain Ding and Zhan Yiye squatted on the street at the front door, while He Rongsheng and Ran Yu were at the back door.

On the first day of the mission, He Rongsheng's eyes stared like copper bells, and Ran Yu leaned against the corner to take a nap.

The next day, He Rongsheng tried to contact Zhan Yiye when he saw a little change. Ran Yu stood in front of the barbecue stall and watched the boss sprinkle chili noodles on the meat skewers.

On the third day, He Rongsheng was secretly observing at the small open-air wooden table in front of the teahouse. Ran Yu's eyes were fixed on a big restaurant nearby. The bright "Three Ring Hotel" neon signboard.

"That one looks very expensive at first glance, and it can't be reimbursed." He Rongsheng waved his hand in front of Ran Yu's eyes, cutting off his sticky eyes.

"The salary is so low," Ran Yu said quietly. "One month's salary can't afford a plate of food."

"We are newcomers, we will be fine in the future." He Rongsheng looked at the luxurious hotel and the dirty sewer next to it, and his depressed mood for several days made him feel depressed, "Forget it, I don't know if it will be in the future or not." It'll be fine. It's not at all what I thought before the exam."

Ran Yu turned his gaze back, but did not speak.

He Rongsheng opened up the chatterbox: "There are so many people vying for a few places. At that time, they thought that they would be prosperous and able to do great things after being admitted. But now? Catching ducks, squatting on the street and doing nothing. , Do these jobs really require more than 20 courses from childhood to university? Moreover, the food and housing are poor, and there are many related households, and the other detachments are so evasive and bully the newcomers..."

Ran Yu silently took out a piece of candy paper from his pocket, and folded it lightly: "Don't be angry, I'll make you a little frog, you can bully it."

He Rongsheng's resentment and resentment were abducted by this strange thought, and he burst out laughing: "I convinced you."

At 09:30 in the evening, not long after the sun set, the neon lights on the street had already been lit up early.The sky is getting darker, the evening wind is getting cooler, and the corners of the street that are not illuminated by neon lights are gloomy, just like Lou Yue's face.

The inspection team finally made some progress recently. They found several holders of invitation letters of ginkgo leaves. After some inquiries, they got some information about this "Ginkgo Road Mutual Aid Association".

Lou Yue learned a few days ago that one of the members is the deputy director of the city defense office. However, the city defense military personnel have strict regulations and are prohibited from participating in such gatherings.After getting the news, he went to the city defense station in the middle of the night, interrogated the deputy director, and checked the defense affairs together with the people of the city defense army. After finding no mistakes, he left with peace of mind.

Lou Yue reached a cooperation with the people from the Security Bureau and borrowed some of their people to follow up.But even if they knew the location, and this mysterious association was operating under their noses, they still couldn't find any clues.

Of course, it wasn't just this association that made Lou Yue's face sombre.

He originally came here today to buy something, but when he saw the shocking scene, he forgot in a fit of anger and turned around to go back.

After a few steps, he passed a small shop selling pastries.There was a mother and son in front of the shop, and the mother was reprimanding the child: "It's normal for your good friend to have other friends. Even if you are angry, you can't fight with them. You are an older child, you can't be so childish. "

The child looked like seven or eight years old, crying into a disfigured face, talking intermittently: "But...but he said that I was his only good friend, and I don't even have other friends, why is he like this..."

Lou Yue stopped in his tracks.

The only good friend, he thought, huh, liar.

Lou Yue turned around and walked back.Because he suddenly felt that he couldn't be the only one who was unhappy.

He quickly walked back to the place where he was standing, then walked forward for a while, and came to a teahouse, where he sat on the vacant low stool.

He Rongsheng went to buy buns just now, and Ran Yu lowered his head and was distracted when suddenly a person sat next to him.

"So fast?" As soon as the words fell, Ran Yu paused, "...what's the matter?"

Lou Yue remained silent with a sullen face, his eyes focused dangerously on a candy-wrapped frog on the table.

Ran Yu didn't know what it meant for the inspector to appear suddenly and put on a face that everyone owed him money.

Ran Yu heard a lot of rumors at get off work in the past few days, describing Lou Yue as terrible, but judging from his experience of seeing Lou Yue himself twice before, he always felt that the exaggeration was exaggerated.

He Rongsheng previously commented that Ran Yu had a beast-like instinct, and could very sensitively perceive danger.Perhaps it was because Ran Yu didn't feel the danger from Lou Yue, so he wasn't really scared when he suddenly saw Lou Yue at this time, but just felt strange.

Ran Yu saw that Lou Yue's gaze stayed on the little frog for a long time, and he thought about it again and again, but he couldn't figure it out.

The atmosphere was very heavy for a while.

Maybe it's because stress improves intelligence, Ran Yu's mind suddenly had a flash of light.Although he thought this guess was unbelievable, he still asked tentatively: "Do you like this? Then I'll make you a frog too?"

"No," Lou Yue finally said, "I want ten."
