Shocked in late autumn

It was raining on Christmas Day, and the winter rain was pattering at night, knocking down the buds of the wintersweet flowers that had just emerged on the ground, and the small white flowers were spread across the yard with water vapor, and they fell into mud.

The sun didn’t come out at eight o’clock in the morning, and the winter rain was getting heavier and heavier, causing mud and water to splash and wet the shoes of passers-by. On the street opposite the police station stood Xu Chenyu in a dark blue uniform. Umbrella, staring at the old office building hesitated for a long time, until 10 minutes later, he walked in.

The office area, which had not been seen for more than 20 days, hardly changed. Anti-drug slogans were posted in the most conspicuous places. Xu Chenyu walked up to the second floor along the handrail, and the colleagues he met along the way greeted him with smiles.

"Xiao Xu, you're back." A middle-aged man in his 40s with a notebook in his hand greeted him.

"Horse team, good morning," Xu Chenyu nodded with a smile, and met He Zhinan again after turning the corner.

He Zhinan opened his eyes wide, ran over excitedly, and put his arms around Xu Chenyu's shoulder: "Brother Yu, your vacation is over? Why so fast, hey, no, it's not time yet."

This kid hasn't changed at all, he's still bluffing like that, Xu Chenyu walked out from under his arms: "I'll come back for a psychological assessment, and if I pass it, I can go back to work."

"Oh, that's it." He Zhinan was a little disappointed, he lowered his voice and said, "I was hoping that you would come back quickly to rescue us."

Xu Chenyu looked at his continuous decline: "Who bullied you?"

He Zhinan looked left and right, but there was no one in the corridor, so he whispered, "Did you know? Our team has a new leader, who was airborne from the armed forces. He is very serious. He has been here for almost a month, and I haven't seen him." After laughing, the brothers call him the cold-faced Hades in private."

"Yan Wang? Is it that exaggerated?"

He Zhinan nodded vigorously, and he yawned with dark circles under his eyes: "The new officer took office three times. Since the new team leader came, I have been working overtime for half a month. If this continues, I will die suddenly."

Xu Chenyu didn't believe it, whether it was the rumors in the world or the gossip in the office. He elbowed He Zhinan: "Okay, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I'm going to the seventh floor. Director Sun is still waiting."

He Zhinan glanced at his mouth to say goodbye to him, and Xu Chenyu disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

"dong dong dong"

Standing in front of the gate of Lihua Yinwen, Xu Chenyu knocked: "Sun Bureau, I am Xiao Xu, here to report."

"Please come in!"

Pushing open the door, Sun Sijin wearing a light blue shirt was sitting behind a mountain of files, with strands of gray hair on his temples. He took off his reading glasses, and pinched his frowning brows with his fingers.

Standing by the work table was a man in a white coat, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He didn't look very handsome, but he had an outstanding temperament. He looked like he was only in his early thirties. After seeing Xu Chenyu, he , There was a flash of light in his eyes, he nodded slightly to the person, he should be today's psychiatrist.

Xu Chenyu opened his mouth first, and he handed over a report: "Sun Bureau, I'm applying for cancellation of leave and returning to work at the unit."

"Sit down and talk..." Sun Sijin stretched out his hand and pulled out a chair, Xu Chenyu hurriedly bent over to take it, "Chen Miao, sit down too, let me introduce you, this is Xu Chenyu from the second anti-drug team, Chen Miao is my high school classmate and the current expert doctor at the headquarters, I have something to do later, you just talk about it."

Sun Sijin glanced at the slightly crumpled paper on the table. Instead of flipping through it, he said to Xu Chenyu, "One month is not up yet, why don't you take two more days off?"

Xu Chenyu sat upright, his back straight like a young poplar, he smiled: "I think it's time for me to come back to work, please approve."

Sun Sijin had a rare smile on his face. He wiped his reading glasses with a handkerchief: "It's not up to me alone whether you can come back or not. It depends on the test results."

Speaking of this, Xu Chenyu was inexplicably confused, and looked up at the doctor in the white coat. He was nervous, so he didn't realize that the doctor was looking at him with great interest, the eyes of a hunter who found his prey.

The two sat facing each other. Sun Sijin put down his glasses, took the application form, and dusted it. After he finished reading, he put his hands on the black table, clasped them together, and said straight to the point: "Xiao Xu, you are a sensible person. Just to put it bluntly. Anti-drug work is a special type of work. The bureau has its own rules and regulations. Job evaluation and psychological tests have to be done. You can only come back to work if you pass it. If the final appraisal result thinks that you are not qualified for the position, the superior will still Arrange for your transfer."

Xu Chenyu's expression didn't change much, he looked at Sun Sijin and listened quietly.

Sun Sijin was silent for a while, and in an elder tone, he said slowly: "Actually, few people are willing to do drug enforcement. It's hard and tiring. It's like playing with your life at work. I know, you are Good boy, it's rare to have such a heart. But I still hope you can understand that all decisions made by the organization are based on the consideration of the best results, and also for your own sake."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Miao was startled. He glanced at his old classmate. He was serious when he was studying, but at the age of more than ten years old, he lived like a little old man.When he started working, he obviously had more and better opportunities, but he chose a high-risk industry.Sun Sijin has been in the anti-drug system for nearly 20 years. He has a resolute personality and doesn't talk much. Newcomers recruited after graduation from university are afraid of him. Let alone Xu Chenyu, even Chen Miao is the first time I have heard him say such a thing. Heartfelt words.

Chen Miao tilted his head slightly again, and the young man in front of him once again aroused his interest. The person who can make Sun Sijin treat him like this must have his own merits.

Xu Chenyu clenched his hands on his knees into fists. He pursed his lips and said warmly, "Thank you Bureau Sun, I understand, and I am willing to accept the organization's arrangement."

"It's best if you think so," Sun Sijin smiled gratifiedly. He got up and took the dark blue coat on the hanger, and said to the two of them while putting on the clothes, "I have a work meeting at 09:30, so I'll leave first. When Sun Sijin passed by Chen Miao, he patted Chen Miao on the shoulder: "As for the test results, you can just email me directly. Today is too busy, so find time to have dinner together some other day."

"Understood, if you have something to do, go first, and we will contact you later," Chen Miao's voice was very gentle, like a ring ring.

As soon as Sun Sijin left, only he and the psychiatrist were left in the huge office. The sound of rain and breathing became the only sounds in the space. Chen Miao's eyes were too bright, and when he glanced over at random, Xu Chenyu had an inexplicable feeling. Uneasy, he pressed the knuckles of his index finger with his thumb, and the pinch turned white.

"Don't be nervous, let's chat casually," Chen Miao walked over with the test sheet in his hand, pulled out a chair and sat down.

In this way, the eyes of the two met in one place.

"Your name is Xu Chenyu, Chen, Yu," Chen Miao deliberately lowered his voice, which made him look very sincere: "Your name sounds really nice, can I understand it as dust scattered on the island?"

Xu Chenyu was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect the psychiatrist to act in such a way. He didn't follow the routine at all. He didn't know how to answer for a moment. After a while, he said stiffly: "Uh...thank you! I'm going to Well, you can always ask me questions."

There was a crystal lamp hanging in the office. Because of the dark weather, Sun Sijin flicked the switch before leaving, and two shadows crouched on the ground one behind the other.

"I'm very casual, so I don't need to be so serious." Chen Miao stepped back a little, leaned back on the chair, and raised his chin slightly. This is a relaxed posture, and his voice is still as gentle as jade: "You have been sleeping well recently. Will it be a nightmare?"

The doctor did not follow the questions on the test form at all, it was more like a conversation with an old friend. Chen Miao's voice carried a certain magic power, like a pill soaked in hot water, which gradually melted Xu Chenyu's defense and nervousness.

Xu Chenyu's shoulders sank, and he leaned on the handle of the chair: "In the past ten days or so, I have slept a lot better. I will have dreams, but they will not be nightmares."

"So you had nightmares before?" Chen Miao leaned over, took a cup of steaming water from the water dispenser, and pushed it to Xu Chenyu against the short table.

Xu Chenyu stared at the glass that was emitting white mist. He knew that the test cannot lie, so he answered truthfully: "Yes."

"What will you dream about? Can you tell me..." Chen Miao held his chin with one hand, and he raised his legs, ready to listen to the story.

The rain in winter seems to never stop. The drizzle fell for a while, and then turned into a bean-like heavy rain. Combined with the cold wind, the yellowed glass of the old building "clang, clang," rang, hitting There was a rush of wind and rain.

Chen Miao listened very attentively, and occasionally reached out his index finger to tap the handle of the chair. His hands were beautiful, with green onion-like fingertips wrapped in fair skin.Xu Chenyu's gaze fell on his hand involuntarily, but at such a serious moment, he thought of Ji Songlin's hand, not so white, with thin calluses, but Xu Chenyu felt that it was many times more beautiful than the hand of the person in front of him.

"What's the matter?" The voice stopped instantly, and Chen Miao couldn't help asking.

"Oh, nothing..."

Chen Miao retracted her hands a little, and said gently: "The story is not finished yet, please continue..."

He was distracted for a moment, then came back immediately, Xu Chenyu looked very docile while talking with his head down, his voice and expression were as usual, accompanied by the heavy rain, by the time he finished talking about the dream, the hot water on the short table was completely cold.

Chen Miao asked him some more questions, which were nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, which were different from all the psychological tests Xu Chenyu had done before, which made him more and more unsure of his answers.

The sun was setting to the west, and the Ujin setting sun peeked out from the layers of floating clouds, and the rain stopped, and we had been talking all afternoon before we knew it.

After answering the last question, Chen Miao stood up. He smoothed the folds of his clothes and said to Xu Chenyu with a smile, "Okay, the psychological test is over. Let's go to the shooting range now."

After the psychological assessment, there is the job ability assessment. Xu Chenyu can't shoot at the shooting range. He must return to his previous speed and agility to be considered a qualified anti-drug policeman.

The wind in the evening was extremely cold, and the smell of green grass after the rain was floating in the air. It was close to the end of get off work time, and the colleagues who had finished their work had already gone home, and those on duty had already gone to the cafeteria, and the corridor seemed extremely empty.

Pass through the stair compartment and go down seven floors to the outdoor shooting range.

Pushing the door open, I saw a Type 92 5.88mm short gun lying on the display table.The barrel, muzzle cap, slide, recoil spring, magazine and hook handle are assembled into a weapon. The body is pure black, exuding a navy blue color under the faint sunset light.

That was Xu Chenyu's gun!

"There are two parts to the test, one is assembly and the other is shooting." Chen Miao held a timer in his hand, his expression was still like the breeze, and said warmly: "When you say start, I will time the time."

Xu Chenyu's fingertips trembled slightly. He stretched out his index and middle fingers and touched the metal table. After hesitating for a while, he touched the body of the short gun. He hadn't touched his own gun for a long time.

His fingers only felt hard and cold to the touch. The moment Xu Chenyu picked up the gun, the scene of Yu Chenjing being headshot by Kun Hai and his body falling from the helicopter into the sea suddenly appeared in front of him. His breathing suddenly became short of breath.

"Are you okay?" Chen Miao was so sensitive that he could even catch a breath, and asked with concern in his eyes.

"It's okay," Xu Chenyu answered quickly, he moved around the table to the other side, looked down at the pile of fragmented components: "Doctor Chen, I'm ready, let's start."

The timer changed sides in Chen Miao's hand, the sound of 'dips' and the little red dot reflected at the same time: "Get ready, start!"

Pulling the slide, pressing the magazine buckle, lifting the tail of the slide, screwing the bolt, and taking out the recoil spring, a series of actions are like a pen and a snake. After installing 8 components, he reassembled in reverse order, and finally buckled the sleeve. The 92-type short gun went through a process of disassembly and closure between his fingers.

Until the "snap" sound, Chen Miao turned his wrist and looked at the timer. When he saw the value on it clearly, an imperceptible smile appeared on his mouth.

"The assembly and testing is complete, and the next step is shooting." Chen Miao took the sound-proof earmuffs on the side, put them on, and stepped back with her right foot to make room for Xu Chenyu.

Xu Chenyu reached out and unbuttoned his coat, revealing the long-sleeved sweater inside. He threw the coat onto the back of the chair, rolled up his sleeves, took the short gun and stood at the specified distance, buckled it with one hand and loaded it with the other, aiming at the front target.

He concentrated on staring at the red heart at a distance of 50 meters in a straight line. His hands holding the gun could not help shaking slightly. , Every frame of that day flashed in front of my eyes.

Chen Miao stood behind Xu Chenyu, and he repeated gently: "It's the same this time, you call start, I'll count the time here."

Cold sweat broke out in the palm of the hand, and the handle was wet. A kind of impatience rose from the depths of the body. This kind of anxiety was more like lack of confidence and timidity. Xu Chenyu pressed the trigger, but his fingers were as weak as cotton. , he thought of many things, including Xu Zihua, Yu Chenjing, Ji Songlin, and Kun Hai...

"Concentrate," Xu Chenyu shouted to himself from the bottom of his heart. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to expel the mixed thoughts from his mind. When he opened his eyes again, he fixed his eyes on the red heart.

"Start, timing," before the end of the sound, the next moment, Xu Chenyu's figure flashed, he pulled the trigger, and the tiger's mouth was shaken with pain, there was a loud bang, and the bullet was fired from the muzzle of the gun. He moved quickly after getting a shot, and there were sharp and dangerous gunshots outside.

Gunshots fired six times in succession, and each shot hit the red heart. It was not until he took out the magazine, retracted the gun and stabilized his body, panting heavily, that the right hand holding the gun slowly and feebly dropped. down.

The "ding" timer is tentative.

Chen Miao memorized the time twice. He took out the pen, unscrewed the pen cap with his thumb, wrote the value on the test paper, and then folded the paper neatly. With a smile on his face, he said: "This is the end of today's assessment and test. It's over, young man, you can get off work."
