never forget [criminal investigation]

The mouse said that apart from Chinese New Year, life in the prison is the happiest on Sundays.

There is no need to go to work or class on this day, after breakfast, roll call and run queue as usual, and then you can move freely.

Although this "freedom" is relative, Xing Yue really felt happy.

He first strolled to the supermarket, intending to buy something, but was told that each person can only spend once a month, and there is an upper limit on the amount.

Most importantly, he found that there was no money in the shopping card in his hand.

So he walked around twice, silently wrote down the things he wanted to buy, and planned to go back and ask the mouse and other inmates to see if anyone could buy them for him, and then asked Luo Meihua to help him top up some money, and then returned the money. give them.

"Is there any coffee?" Before leaving, he asked resolutely.

"No." The supermarket manager answered simply.

"Is there a blindfold?"

"No." The man gave him a blank look.

After leaving the supermarket, he went to the sports field again.

The people in this place are Wuyang Wuyang, and there are more people packed into a basketball field than a football field.On a very cold day, everyone is steaming, and some are even shirtless.

Xing Yue watched from the side with his hands in his hands.

He is not interested in basketball, but he hasn't played for a long time, and his hands are itchy now.But he didn't want to rob and scramble with so many people, and bumped into each other.

Speaking of reasonable collision, ice hockey is more enjoyable, and that is his favorite.

He likes the feeling of sweat soaking the jersey, and the long thin white line left by the blade when it cuts through the ice.He likes to hear the sound of the armor hitting, and the tangled bump between the clubs. Now that he thinks about it, he even misses the uncivilized spats between his opponents.

How long has it been since you touched a club?

I remember the last time when I was graduating, together with Fang Qiao, I made an appointment with a group of people who used to play together, and played several games in a row, which was very enjoyable.

after that...

"Hey buddy!"

Xing Yue came back to his senses and saw someone on the sidelines making gestures at him.He lowered his head and found a basketball rolling over and just stopped at his feet.

He bent down to pick up the ball, patted it twice, and then dialed it back.

The man caught it with a "snap", and with a "hiss", he freed his hand to catch the ball, raised his head and shouted at him, "Are you playing?"

Xing Yue shook his head, then raised his hand to express his thanks, and the man returned to the court with the ball in his arms.

It was silly to just stand like this, and it was still very cold, so he looked at it for a while, and then wandered to the indoor playground.

There are also quite a few people in the chess and card room, those who play cards, those who play chess, those who watch the fun... Most of them are old men.

He exited silently and went to the screening room, but it was already full.

During the period, he passed a room with a locked door, and there was a sign of "examination area" hanging outside the door. He was scratching the window curiously, and was kicked out.

After going around, I finally found a satisfactory foothold ----- the library.

Unexpectedly, there is a library in the prison, and the environment is not bad. The most important thing is that there are not many people and it is very quiet.

Hanging around in front of the bookshelf, Xing Yue found that there are quite a lot of books on it, including novels, biographies, history, and even many magazines.The spines of some of the books were torn, and some of them could still smell the ink when they were opened.

He took out a brand new "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China" and found a seat to sit down.

This kind of law code has to be turned over every day when I go to school, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I can recite it backwards.It's just that I didn't expect that one day I would reopen this book under such circumstances.

"This can be regarded as immersion learning..." He thought very wildly.

Sniffing, he deftly turned to Chapter 4, Article 234 under the "Regulations", which was his trial.

Looking at it, the questioning of the public prosecutor in court that day echoed in my mind.

"What did you do to the victim?"

"I beat him up."

"Did the victim resist?"

"Have."

"Did the victim ask you to stop abusing him?"

"No."

"Did you communicate with the victim during the period?"

"Have."

"What did the victim say?"

"He encouraged me."

"What encourages you?"

"Let me try to move him."

"...so what did you do?"

"I tried to slap him twice."

"The surveillance video shows that you also kicked the victim."

"Yes."

"Do you know the consequences of this attack?"

"I know now."

"Do you admit that the rupture of the victim's testicles on both sides and serious damage to the cavernous body of the penis were caused by your kick?"

"...I admit."

Thinking of this, Xing Yue plunged into the opened pages, shaking his shoulders in "pain".

This XXX is simply his highlight moment!Whenever he thinks about it, he wishes he could run to the top floor of the Dongjiang landmark building and applaud himself.

He also wants to take a high-powered megaphone and shout to everyone here, "Yes, it's me! I kicked your warden's eggs!", "Isn't he awesome?", "He is better than all of you Worse, you know?", "That old beast howls like a pig, did you hear that?"

"Huh, huh, huh..." The passionate speech was interrupted by prolonged applause...

Since he was almost high, he raised his head, squeezed his sore cheeks from laughing, hummed lightly in his nose, and continued to read.

The line of sight moved down, and soon stopped at 237.

"Whoever molests children shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years..."

His eyes dimmed all of a sudden.

Five years... If there were five years, maybe everything today would not have happened.

The law is just, but the world is not.That was the case ten years ago, and it will be the same ten years from now.

Yuan Guoping will obey the law, but he will not be punished for the crimes he committed against Xiang Hai.On the contrary, Xiang Hai has suffered for ten years because of this, and now he will be exposed to his scars again in court under the eyes of everyone because of beating this scumbag.

Is this fair?

It took Xiang Hai so long and exhausted all his courage to tell himself that secret.

He is already very strong, why God not only did not reward, but increased the weight of the test more and more.

Couldn't the world be nicer to him?

He still persisted, and Xiang Hai did not admit defeat.But at this moment, there was still a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Xing Yue lowered his head, his forehead resting heavily on the spread code.

"In order to punish crimes and protect the people, this law is enacted in accordance with the Constitution and in light of our country's specific experience and actual situation in fighting crimes."

Please give me strength.Please also give strength to Xiang Hai!

I beg you.

In the afternoon, when it was time for the long-awaited bath time, several inmates lined up neatly and ran happily to the bathhouse.

Xing Yue struggled for a whole noon, but finally he gritted his teeth and followed.

For two years, I can't go without bathing all the time.Since this is going to happen sooner or later, don't be so fucking annoying.

But when he entered the bathhouse, his enthusiasm was exhausted.

A large bathroom, a room full of naked men, that's not to mention, there are prison guards monitoring the whole process at the door.

He stood there clutching the towel until everyone "peddled" and ran in.The mouse yelled at him while running, "Brother, hurry up, just wait a while longer and it will be time!"

Xing Yue inhaled in place, the towel in his hand had been twisted into twists.Turning around, he saw the prison guard staring at him expressionlessly.

Oh shit!Die and die!

He gritted his teeth hard and took off his clothes.

He strode into the bathroom and found a spare shower. He faced the wall, closed his eyes, and stood in the steaming mist.

Hot water was poured on the top of the head, flowing down the line of the jaw, falling on the neck, and overflowing the straight collarbone, soaking the tight body all the way.

Gradually, he became less nervous, and there was the sound of dripping water in his ears.

The bathroom was lively, and the hot water made this simple pleasure inflate quickly.Some were laughing and chatting, some were humming tunes, and some were whistling.

Xing Yue wiped the water off his face and opened his eyes.In front of him was a wet wall covered with droplets of steam condensed.His shoulders also slowly relaxed, and his feet moved, allowing the water column to pour on his back.

"Brother, don't soak it, wash it quickly!" The mouse was already rubbing the foam beside him, and kindly reminded Xing Yue who was always standing flushing.

Xing Yue didn't look back when he heard the sound, he just reached out to take the shower gel and squeezed a little into the palm of his hand.

He rubbed his hands together, and was about to wipe it on his body, when he suddenly felt a strange discomfort rising from his back.

Turning his head, he found that a pair of eyes next to him were staring at him. From top to bottom, the dirty eyes moved inch by inch on his body.

Xing Yue's scalp exploded in an instant, and a burst of fire rushed out of his head, "Fuck me!!"

He raised his foot and kicked at the man.

That person seemed to have been prepared for a long time, seeing that he was discovered, he slipped away like a loach, avoiding Xing Yue's kick.

At this time, the mouse rushed over and grabbed Xing Yue's arm, "Brother! Brother!"

He desperately pulled Xing Yue back, while staring nervously at the door of the bathroom, and lowered his voice to remind, "Brother, don't be impulsive, and be careful not to suffer!"

Xing Yue's eyes were red, and he was shaking with nausea. He was about to rush over again when the prison guards yelled at him from the door.

"what happened!"

"Who is dishonest? You don't want to wash it anymore, do you?"

Xing Yue clenched his fists and turned his back.

"Report! It's okay, it's okay!"

Not only the mouse, but everyone else followed suit.

Fog rose in the bathroom, making it difficult to see everyone's expressions.The prison guards scanned back and forth twice and found nothing unusual, so they warned them, "Be honest, don't make trouble for nothing!"

"Hurry up!"

Everyone immediately sped up their actions, and no one made a sound.

The mouse pushed Xing Yue back into the hot water, "Brother, don't be stupid, let's talk about it when we go back!"

Xing Yue closed his eyes tightly, his chest heaving violently.He wiped the shower gel on his body twice randomly, rinsed it off quickly, and was the first to leave the bathroom.

In the evening, after watching the news broadcast, everyone noticed Xing Yue's ugly face, so they all gathered around.

A few inmates who didn't take a bath asked what was going on, Xing Yue didn't want to mention it, but he couldn't hold back the rat's quick talk.

After listening, everyone scolded together.

"Fuck, it's Lao Sao, that bitch again!"

"Sooner or later, fuck him up!"

"That man has such a fucking thick skin, he won't bleed even with an awl!"

"Last time, I remembered that someone cleaned up the meal, but it's still sunny again!"

"It's probably due to the handsomeness of our brother Xing Yue."

"Hold!"

"Brother, don't take it seriously, or you will be the one who suffers!"

"He was sentenced to 20 fucking years, brother, you only have two years, you can't commit a crime."

"Yeah, don't put yourself in it."

Xing Yue listened, and raised his chin at several people to express his gratitude.

A prison is like a society in miniature. Naturally, there are everyone, especially the wicked.

This is not the Garden of Eden, nor is it a playground.People are sent here for atonement, not for vacation.

Xing Yue still has this awareness, otherwise it would be too ridiculous to come in with an impulse to "in the name of love".

There are strict rules in this place, but for those who are not willing to perish, there is also an unchanging rule.

Just to live, to live as a human being.

Prison is a place to reform people, and it is also a place to change people.When you come in, you have "unique skills", but on the day you go out, you may be full of five poisons.

Xing Yue understands these reasons, and has seen many such examples when he was a policeman.

So he needs to adapt and even change.The purpose of the change is to prevent myself from sinking, and at the same time not to let Xiang Hai sink.

One day they will leave here, and when they leave, they will be clean.

After figuring this out, Xing Yue stopped competing so much.

He patted the mouse on the shoulder, "I'm fine, thank you today."

If the rats hadn't stopped him today, he might have been put in confinement right now.

"Hey, what's the matter." The mouse chuckled, "Brother, you've only been here for a short time, and you won't be here for long, so you can't be as knowledgeable as Lao Sao. We're all used to it, and we don't treat him as a human being at all."

Xing Yue looked at him and asked, "How long have you been sentenced?"

"15 years." Mouse said calmly.

"Because of what?"

"Kidnapping." Mouse rolled his eyes, as if talking about someone else's business.

Xing Yue frowned and didn't continue to ask.

The mouse yawned, "Hurry up and sleep, I have to go to work tomorrow!" After finishing speaking, he stomped back to his bed, pulled the quilt away and got in.

Xing Yue also climbed onto the bed, and after tossing and turning for a long time, he still couldn't fall asleep.

Finally, he put an arm over his eyes, and gradually fell asleep.

The next day, after breakfast, Xing Yue boarded the "bus" before dawn.

"Where is this going?" He asked softly.

"A garment factory." The mouse yawned, "Brother, do you know how to use a sewing machine?"

Xing Yue shook his head.

"Then you have to study hard." After speaking, the mouse closed its eyes again, intending to take a nap before starting work.

"Sewing machine..." Xing Yue turned his face out of the window, imagining the scene where he was in a hurry.

It was pitch black outside the car window, and his blank face was reflected in the glass.

He froze for a moment, and raised his hand to touch his cheek.That's right, it's me.

This was the first time he saw himself in the mirror after coming in.

He leaned closer to the window again, carefully pressing the top of his head, the layer of stubble that was almost sticking to the scalp was very sticky.He turned his head back and forth, and finally pouted at the person in the mirror in disgust.

It's ugly.

Just as he was about to turn his face away, he suddenly found a pair of eyes in the corner of the car window.

He turned his head sharply.

It's that old brat again.

He was sitting on the other side of the car, separated by a few people, and there was an aisle, and he was leaning in the corner and looking at him at the moment.

Xing Yue gritted his teeth and looked straight away.

Lao Sao watched for a while, seeing that he didn't hide, just staring at him like that, feeling a little uncomfortable.So he glanced away, and just licked his lips with malicious intentions.

Xing Yue cursed in a low voice.

When the car arrived at the destination, it was just dawn, and by the time the carload of people returned to the prison, it was already dark.

Xing Yue sat tiredly on the small bench and watched the news, but his mind was filled with the sound of "clicking" the pedals of the sewing machine.

At the end of the day, he learned nothing.

The next day, it was business as usual.

Until the third day, the mice couldn't stand it anymore.He patted Xing Yue's shoulder, "I said, brother, you are quite clever, why can't you learn it by life and death?"

For three days, he saw that Xing Yue was busy from morning to night every day, working in full swing, but his subordinates just couldn't do any work, and even now he couldn't run straight.The fabrics he processed were all sobbed like expired dried kelp.

Later, even his master was helpless, and stuffed a few pieces of waste fabric for him to practice by himself.But even the sewing machine was sparked by him, and it didn't improve at all.

Xing Yue was also extremely depressed.

He only now knows how the 88-yuan broken eye patch that Mouse gave him back then came about, and thinking about it again, he thinks the workmanship is pretty good...

"Brother, think about it again, this thing has to be scored, and you will always fail to complete the task later, and your points will definitely be deducted."

Xing Yue lay down on the bed sullenly, with his arms resting on his eye sockets, "Got it."

Fortunately, the next day, he didn't have to go to the factory to suffer, because someone came to visit.

He didn't expect that the first person to see him was Qin Peng.

The two sat face to face, and at the beginning there was a lot of emotion and a little embarrassment, but Xing Yue quickly adjusted the atmosphere, "Well, Lao Qin, are you all okay?"

"Well, it's all good." Qin Peng also collected his emotions and forced a smile, "After you left, the bureau assigned two newcomers to the team, and I asked Erhe Hetian to bring one to each of them."

"Very good." Xing Yue also rolled his eyes, and asked again, "Where's Xiaowei? How is he?"

"Our Xiaowei is much more stable now than before." Qin Peng chuckled, "After you left, he languished for a while, and after the Chinese New Year, he suddenly proposed to me to go to further studies, saying that you had suggested him to come here before. on."

"Oh, I mentioned it to him a few times." Xing Yue was very happy to hear the news. "It would be good for him to learn more while he is still young. But at that time he always said that he would wait until he found a partner."

"Now he doesn't look for a partner every day." Qin Peng said with a smile, "This kid has finally matured."

"What about you?" Xing Yue looked at him and asked.

"I...I'm also planning to go for advanced studies, and I've already signed up." Qin Peng scratched his hair embarrassingly, "Xiao Shuo will take the college entrance examination soon, and I'll go to study after he finishes the exam."

He is ashamed.For so many years, Xing Yue has been busy for his promotion, but he is always stuck on his academic qualifications.Xing Yue has been pushing him to study, but he always finds excuses to avoid it.

Now that Xing Yue left, he finally took this step.

Not only him, but everyone in the team is growing, and there is Xing Yue's driving force behind it.But just when everyone got better, Xing Yue left.

"Xing...Xing team," he glanced to both sides, lowered his voice, "Xing team, everyone misses you very much."

Speaking of this, his eye circles turned red.

Xing Yue was most afraid of his sensationalism, so he quickly changed the subject, "Well, call me Xing Yue from now on, don't forget, you are the captain now."

"By the way, Lao Qin, do you have any money with you? Lend me some."

"Yes! How much do you want?" Qin Peng hurriedly took out his pocket, "I only have a thousand yuan on me, is it enough? If it's not enough, I'll go get it."

"Enough, enough!" Xing Yue waved his hand, "500 is enough, I have no place to spend more."

"You can deposit the money in my shopping card later."

So the next day, Xing Yue had money.But stepping on the sewing machine, he still can't do it.

A few days later, he received a second visitor.

"What are you doing here?" Xing Yue looked at the person opposite and raised his eyebrows.

"Why, I can't come yet?" Zhou Xun crossed his arms.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Zhou Xun snorted, "Look at your hair shape, it's really ugly."

Xing Yue smiled nonchalantly, wiped his hands on the top of his head, and raised his face, "To be honest, this hairstyle is very suitable for you, you should consider it."

After speaking, he leaned over to look at him, "Where's the stuff?"

"what's that?"

"You came empty-handed?"

"if not?"

"Fuck, you're so shy about saying that."

"You really want to!"

Xing Yue rolled his eyes at him and turned his face away.

Zhou Xun sighed silently, "What do you want, I will bring it to you next time, do you want cigarettes?"

"No." Xing Yue shook his head, "I quit."

"Really?"

"Ah."

Looking at him, Zhou Xun felt that he seemed to have changed a lot, but he didn't seem to have changed at all.It's just that he still can't figure out why Xing Yue has come to this point.

He shook his head, "Forget it, I won't chat with you anymore. I'm here today to tell you two things."

Xing Yue raised his eyes again.

"First," Zhou Xun approached and lowered his voice, "It is said that the investigation team has been sent to investigate Yuan Guoping and Huo Yan."

Xing Yue's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

"What about Yuan Guoping?" He asked eagerly.

"Still lying in the hospital." Zhou Xun looked at him, "I can't even get out of bed."

Xing Yue pursed his lips.

Zhou Xun looked at him again for a long time, "The doctor said..."

He stopped, watching Xing Yue's cheeks bulge little by little, his face flushed, and finally he plunged into the crook of his arm, shaking all over.

"Fuck, can you fucking laugh?" Zhou Xun was really convinced.

Xing Yue slapped his thigh fiercely.

"I found that you... have a big heart." Zhou Xun sighed.

Enough laughing, Xing Yue wiped his face, "Stop talking nonsense, what else is there?"

"Xiang Hai's case is over."

Xing Yue rushed over immediately, "How is it? What's the result?"

Seeing him sweating anxiously, Zhou Xun touched his chin leisurely.

"Fuck! Tell me the fuck!" Xing Yue's heart almost jumped out.

Zhou Xun narrowed his eyes.

Before, there were rumors that Xing Yue beat Yuan Guoping because of Xiang Hai and deliberately wanted to get involved.In this regard, he expressed disdain.

How is this possible?

At best, Xing Yue is a cousin that Xiang Hai can't beat, even his own brother can't do this.Don't talk about my brother, my father can't either.

But looking at Xing Yue's eagerness now, and thinking about their past...

Zhou Xun was a little shaken again.

"Zhou Xun, you fucking..." Xing Yue gritted his teeth, wishing he could crack open the man's head and dig out the long-awaited news.

Zhou Xun raised his hand, "Xing Yue, since we are brothers, if there is any news from Xiang Hai, I will be the first to tell you, so let's be real, don't hide it."

"Ming people don't speak dark words, let me ask you, are you Xiang Hai's brother?"

"?"

"What do you mean? No?"

"Then who are you?"

"..."

Not long after Zhou Xun went back with a satisfied yet collapsed mood, on this day, Xing Yue was woken up by the wake-up bell as usual, and just as the bed was tidied up, there were footsteps outside the prison door.

"This way." It was the voice of the discipline.

The eleven people in the room immediately lined up, with Xing Yue standing at the end.

The door of the cell was opened, and the guard walked in.

Same as when he brought Xing Yue in, he first glanced at the few people in the room, and then turned his eyes to the back.

"come in."

"Yes." A familiar voice agreed.

Xing Yue's two hands were clenched instantly, his heartbeat accelerated, and his breathing also became rapid.

Xiang Hai was also holding a bunch of things, with his head slightly lowered, and appeared at the door of the cell.

At this moment, tears swirled wildly in Xing Yue's eyes, almost rushing out.

He quickly looked away, not daring to look at him again.But immediately turn back.

It's him, it's Xiang Hai.

The guard pointed to Xing Yue's upper bunk, "You sleep on the upper bed. Go and put your things away."

"Yes."

Xiang Hai lowered his eyes, passing through the straightforward gazes of his inmates, and walked towards his bed.

After the assignment, the guards turned around and began to check the cleanliness of the cells.

Suddenly, there was a "crash", and the guard immediately frowned, and looked after him again, "What's going on?"

Xiang Hai stood there in a daze, like a frozen statue, the things in his hands were scattered on the ground.

He looked at the man at the end of the confrontation, the man he missed day and night.

The man was also looking at him.

How can this be?How could this be real?

Are you dreaming?

However, how dare he have such a dream?

"What happened?" The guard walked towards this side.

Xing Yue shook his head slightly, signaling him to calm down, and looked at the guard again, "Report, him, something has fallen."

The guard came to the side of Xiang Hai and glanced at the ground, "Hurry up and pick it up and put it away."

But Xiang Hai still stood there blankly until Xing Yue nodded at him again.

"Yes."

He agreed, and then squatted down to pick up something.

But before he lowered his head, tears dripped down on the ground.

He could no longer control his emotions, buried his face in his arms, and his thin shoulders trembled with the sound of sobbing.

The discipline is a little helpless.

This kind of situation also happens from time to time. After all, life circumstances have undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is normal for a sudden emotional breakdown.

It is easier for such a person to make progress in the future after transformation.

"Okay, don't cry." He patted Xiang Hai's shoulder and looked at Xing Yue again.

"Xing Yue, help him tidy up."

"Yes."

Xing Yue squatted down and collected the fallen things together one by one.

When handing it over, he took the opportunity to gently pinch Xiang Hai's palm.
