never forget [criminal investigation]

Mr. Lu Xun once said, "There has never been a real empathy in this world." Xing Yue felt that this was true and had a deeper understanding of it.

Just like now, watching Xiang Hai crouching under the basketball hoop with his stomach in his arms, his short sleeves catching the cold wind, bulging like an inflatable doll at the entrance of a shopping mall.

And my own sentence "It hurts a lot" can be called a classic of nonsense literature, and it is even more hair-hardening than the scumbag's "Drink more hot water and go to bed early".

Another example is what kind of emotion Xiang Hai had when he kicked Lao Sao a week ago.

And in the smeared "review letter", the sentence 'brother, don't be angry' how wronged he was.

Xing Yue will never be able to empathize with all this.

Until the stick finally landed on his head, especially after he pulled off the suit that was hanging high on the hoop.

How sane he was when he gave Xiang Hai a lesson like a dog, how impulsive he is now after being slapped in the face by reality.

If Xiang Hai hadn't wrapped his legs, perhaps he would have become the first serial "egg-exploding" player in Dongjiang's history.

"Brother, brother!" Xiang Hai hugged his leg with all his strength, and was pulled down to the ground by a sudden force, grinning his teeth in pain.

Xing Yue pushed his hands away, helped him up and sat down, "You go back first."

"I can't walk."

"Then you wait here for me."

"it's too cold."

Only then did Xing Yue remember to take off his clothes and put them on for him.

"People come and go..." Xiang Hai shrank himself into Xing Yue's body temperature, "How stupid I am sitting."

Xing Yue had no choice but to go over and help him up, "Then I'll take you back first."

Xiang Hai stood up from the ground, turned his head to look around, and pointed to the distance, "Why don't we go to sit on the horizontal bar last time, there is no one there."

He couldn't let Xing Yue leave, but he didn't want to go back to the cell, otherwise it would be difficult for him to say a word.

Xing Yue could only follow him and help him walk towards the horizontal bar.

"Hey, clothes." After walking a few steps, Xiang Hai grabbed him again, turned his head and pointed to the ground.

"Just throw it away, you still want it!" With a glance over, Xing Yue's anger flared up again.

"I don't want it, but I can't throw it away, or I have to write a review." Xiang Hai rubbed his arm, "You help me break it, and I can get a new one later."

If the clothes are damaged, you can apply for new ones, but if they are dirty, you can’t even explain if you lost them.

So Xing Yue turned back, picked up the stinky clothes again, and the two walked slowly towards the horizontal bar.

At this time, the wind gradually calmed down, and the damp and cold air finally condensed into fine snow particles, sprinkled on the body like salt.

"Brother, are you cold?"

Xing Yue shook his head, "I'm hot."

To be precise, he was dry, as dry as a bundle of firecrackers, dragging a [-]-meter-long fuze, sparking, but it was too late for him to explode|explode.

The two came to the bottom of the horizontal bar, Xiang Hai hunched over and leaned against the pillar, "Brother, tear up that clothes, tear them up hard."

Xing Yue let go of his arm, and picked up the clothes from the ground again.

"Tear it, tear it hard, I'll watch." Xiang Hai held fire from the side.

So the long fuze finally began to burn faster.

Xing Yue grabbed the corner of the clothes with both hands, and fought fiercely, "Fuck me!!"

"??"

The clothes were of very good quality, as strong as the bars on the walls of the cell.

"XXXX!" Xing Yue was angry.The fuze burned to the end, and he finally exploded|exploded.

He exerted all his energy again, and with a "chila", a gap was torn open at the hem of his clothes.

With the first, there is the second.

"XXXX!"

"XXXXXX!"

He tore and cursed, released and burned.

He scolded Lao Sao, scolded Yuan Guoping, scolded Zhao Lang, scolded Huo Yan... scolded everyone who made Xiang Hai go through all this.

As a policeman, no, as a former policeman, he always believed in the power of order.Now that the police uniform has been changed to a prison uniform, he still firmly believes in this belief.

Anyone who disrupts order will be punished by this force.Yuan Guoping is like this, so is he and Xiang Hai.

So they have no regrets.

They are willing to stay in this world, quietly waiting for those destroyers of order to be punished as they should.

But now he suddenly felt that he was shackled, and the power that restrained him came from that belief.The punishment for the perpetrators has been delayed, his patience is being exhausted little by little, and he even began to doubt whether this persistence is meaningful.

And the last straw that overwhelmed him came from the fact that he had spared no effort to pass on this belief to Xiang Hai, but look at Xiang Hai now?

He kept tearing and tearing, consuming his anger, until the clothes no longer looked like their original appearance, like a firecracker after a loud bang, leaving only pieces of paper with the smell of gunpowder on the ground.

Xiang Hai watched him finish venting, then gathered up the pile of things and threw them behind the bushes.

He himself felt tired, so he slid down on the horizontal bar and sat heavily on the ground.

The fine snow particles are still floating, but when they fall on the body, they melt in the blink of an eye.

Mr. Lu Xun is right, "There is no real empathy in this world."

Unless the stick falls on his head.

It was just when Xing Yue rushed to find Lao Sao to settle accounts like crazy just now, Xiang Hai realized Xing Yue's mood when he insisted on picking Lao Sao's eyes.

Now that I think about it, the sentence "It's just right not to commute my sentence, it's better to give me another six months" is quite annoying.However, presumably Xing Yue can now understand that "I can do whatever I want to be disgusting, but you can't do it if you are disgusting" and he didn't just say it out of anger.

After all, "Let's not worry about each other" is the most unnutritious nonsense.

After exchanging positions, they all repeated each other's choices.

Also strangely interesting.

At this time, Xing Yue also sat down opposite him, leaning his back against the other side of the horizontal bar, "Xiao Hai, I apologize to you."

"Ok?"

"That day, I shouldn't have hit you."

"Hit me?" Xiang Hai didn't react.

"On the back." Xing Yue spread his five fingers and made a gesture.

"...Hey." Xiang Hai smiled, "Beating is kissing, scolding is love, if I don't beat or scold, I will turn bad."

Xing Yue couldn't laugh, he pursed his lips, "Does it hurt?"

"Why does it hurt, just shoot like that."

"I mean now."

"Oh," Xiang Hai straightened his back a little, "it's okay, it doesn't hurt."

"As for Lao Sao, he's far worse than you. If he's half as ruthless as you, I'll be useless. Look, I'm fine now."

"That is to say, I hurt you that day."

"Oh, brother, don't dig a hole for me." Xiang Hai said helplessly, "It won't happen."

Xing Yue raised his head and sighed, reaching out to grab those snowflakes that couldn't be held at all, "Xiao Hai, have you ever doubted your belief?"

"..."

This topic is a bit big, Xiang Hai was taken aback.

"Is there?" Xing Yue turned to look at him again and asked reluctantly.

"Faith..." Xiang Hai scratched his head, thinking seriously.

After a while, he raised his eyes, "Brother, I don't seem to have the kind of faith you mentioned."

"I only have one wish, and that is to become better." He looked at Xing Yue, "I didn't have it before, but since I have a goal, I have this hope."

"I don't know if that counts as...faith."

"Forget it." Xing Yue also looked at him, feeling his nose a little sour, "Why don't you count it?"

"Brother, I don't know what your belief is, and I don't know why you doubt it." Xiang Hai curled up his legs and hugged his knees to his chest, "If it's for someone like Lao Sao, it's okay No need."

"You're right, Lao Sao will definitely be punished, and we will leave cleanly, so we can't make mistakes for him, it won't be worth it."

not worth it......

Xing Yue savored his words, and re-examined his expectations.

Yes, the evil in the sun, the devil in the dark, all kinds of things, have you seen less in the past?How could it be at this moment that his faith was shaken by a role like Lao Sao.Is it just because I am a "victim" this time?

Faith is never meant to be worshipped, but to be defended.

Especially in the darkest hour like this.

Thinking of this, the shadow of Jiang Yuan jumped out of his mind for no reason.

"You're right." He smiled, stretched out his hand, and spread his palm towards Xiang Hai through the fluttering snowflakes.

"Come on." Xiang Hai also smiled, tilted his head, and pressed his face to Xing Yue's palm from the air.

"Eh?" Just as he turned his face away, Xiang Hai suddenly pointed to a place behind Xing Yue, "Brother, look at that."

Xing Yue turned around, followed the direction of his finger, and found that under the horizontal bar next door, the ground next to the column had quietly arched a few pinches of green.

Xiang Hai quickly moved to the side, and then looked down at his buttocks, where a few grasses also sprouted.

Dongjiang is geographically located in the north, and winter is always extremely long.It has long been the season when the grass grows and the warblers fly in the south of the Yangtze River, but the vegetation here is still bleak.

Seeing this fresh green now means that spring has really come.

Xing Yue was also very excited, he quickly stood up, looked under his buttocks, "Fuck, it finally grew out, don't let someone sit dead."

After such a careful observation, it turns out that they have been surrounded by a little bit of spring.

"Brother, what's the date today?"

"do not know."

"..."

This day is passing like a peach blossom garden. I don't know what night it is.

"Oh, I remembered," Xing Yue patted his thigh, "Today is the 29th."

I just wrote it when I checked out the book.

"March 3?" Xiang Hai seemed to have not experienced this concept of time for a long time.

"Otherwise?" Xing Yue thought the question was silly, but when it came to borrowing books, he remembered the most important thing.

"By the way, Xiao Hai, I have something very important to tell you." He ran to Xiang Hai and sat on a piece of grass-free ground with a solemn expression.

"Ah?" Xiang Hai subconsciously became nervous, and then straightened his body.

It's just that what he can't stop thinking at this moment is that in less than two weeks, it will be Xing Yue's birthday.

"Didn't we see a bunch of people come to check last time, right at the door. Do you know what they came to check?"

"do not know."

"It's the examination room."

"examination room?"

"Well, I just found out today that there are test centers in the No. [-] Prison."

"Test points?"

"Yes, the test site for the self-examination!"

"Self-examination?"

"..."

Xing Yue frowned.Why does Xiang Hai look like a repeater?

"Tell me, take the self-examination!" Xiang Hai finally recovered from his astonishment.

"Yes!" Xing Yue also became excited, "Didn't we discuss it before, when Zhao Lang's case is over, you can concentrate on preparing for the exam."

"Ah... yes, yes."

It was agreed at the beginning, and now Zhao Lang's case is considered over, but...

"I am like this now, still, can I still go to college?"

"Nonsense, otherwise, why are they setting up test centers here?"

Xing Yue stroked Xiang Hai's furry head, "It doesn't matter if you are here or outside, it doesn't make any difference to your exam, you have to spend time to prepare carefully. Maybe you can concentrate more here Woolen cloth."

"Maybe... some schools and some majors have restrictions, but it doesn't matter. If this doesn't work, let's change to another one. There are so many schools and so many majors, and there will always be one that suits you. The key is to look at your grades."

"En!" Xiang Hai nodded.

Only then did he begin to feel a little real.

The spring breeze is warming, the river is thawing, and with the "click" sound of the ice breaking, the wish that had been drowning in the bottom of the water surfaced again without warning.Although it is still a little precarious, it is no longer untouchable.

"I'll contact Qu Wei later, and ask her to help me buy review materials." Xing Yue rubbed his hands, "This year is definitely too late, next year, 4, 5, 6..." He counted on his fingers, "Still 1 year and 3 months."

"It must be in time."

1 year and 3 months... Xiang Hai also silently calculated in his heart.

It has been almost 3 months since he was detained.From this point of view, perhaps the day when I was released from prison was the day I had to take the exam.

He felt a little unbelievable, is this God's arrangement?

With this countdown, the days that were supposed to be counted on your fingers seem to suddenly become urgent, wishing to split one day into two days.

"Brother, why am I suddenly nervous?" Xiang Hai swallowed.

"...I have a little bit too." Xing Yue cupped his hands to cover his mouth, he didn't know whether he was nervous or cold, his palms were cold.

"Hey, let me ask you." In order to ease the tension, he found a topic, "Where are you going to take the exam?"

Xiang Hai also rubbed his hands, "I haven't thought about it, it can be anywhere, the key depends on where you are."

If it is destined to have no fate with Public Security University, then it depends on Xing Yue's plan.Anyway, wherever he is, Xiang Hai will take the test.

"Always ask me what to do, I can take whatever test I want." Xing Yue recovered a little bit now, his mood began to brighten, and he couldn't help thinking about it.

"You want to go to a different place with me!" Xiang Hai's mouth really grew again.

"What's wrong with the other place? There are too many people in the other place, so they are all living well." Xing Yue smiled and watched Xiang Hai jump.

"..."

Xiang Hai rubbed his nose, "OK."

Holding on to the horizontal bar, he stood up from the ground, lowered his head and patted the dirt on his pants, "Then I'll find a little milk dog later on, the kind that Tian Tian greasy calls me brother, anyway, I'm tired of seeing you old wolf dog .”

"..." Xing Yue's smile froze instantly.

"That's right, there are so many people in different places, so there is no difference between the two of us. You are so old, you are not in a hurry, I am so young."

"Fuck!" After being stabbed severely, Xing Yue stood up from the ground, "Who the hell is an old wolf dog!"

Xiang Hai glanced at him, "Are you an old milk dog?"

"..." Xing Yue choked on his "old" mouthfuls.

He took a deep breath, and almost poked Xiang Hai's forehead with his hand, "If you dare to hook up with this dog or that dog, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"Why, it's all in a different place, and you can still hit me along the network cable."

"Different fart, no different places!"

"It's not what you said, isn't it great to be in a different place?" Xiang Hai could hardly hold back anymore.

"I was testing you, you know?"

"Then I'm going to test you too."

"What is there for me to test?"

"Then I have nothing to test."

"..."

Xing Yue ran out of words, rubbed his arms, looked at Xiang Haizheng laughing at himself warmly, "Fuck, give me back my clothes."

"If you pay me back, I will pay you back." Xiang Hai immediately started to unbutton the button.

"Tsk." Xing Yue snorted hard at the back of his head, "What a fart."

"Go, go back."

Xiang Hai followed happily.

After walking a few steps, Xing Yue turned back to help him, "Can I go? How about I carry you on my back."

"It's okay, I can go. Let's go slowly."

"Yeah." Xing Yue walked slowly with him, "Just wear this clothes, I'll get a new one later."

"Row."

"Tomorrow, go tell the guard about Lao Sao."

"Forget it. I can't even find a witness. Who can prove that I didn't fight back. Don't turn around and ask me to write an inspection again."

Seeing that Xing Yue still couldn't let go of this matter, Xiang Hai said, "Brother, don't argue with him, don't we have more important things to do now, don't be influenced by him."

Right.Xing Yue sighed, and kept talking about contacting Qu Wei and asking the supervisor for exam information.

Xiang Hai listened silently, but all he could think about was: what to do, his old wolf dog is going to celebrate his birthday.

What gift should I give him?

On Monday, everyone went to work as usual, but no one saw Lao Sao.

The next day, Xiang Hai was called out by the instructor again, and asked if he was besieged by Lao Sao and others on Sunday.

Xiang Hai told the truth.

The instructor didn't ask any questions after hearing this, and didn't ask him to write a self-criticism, but let him come back after making detailed records.

No one saw Lao Sao that day.

On the third night, the mouse barely endured until the end of the news broadcast, kicked the small bench, stood in the middle of the cell, crossed its legs, and announced loudly, "You know, the old man is done!"

Sure enough, no one except him knew about this, and the atmosphere was filled instantly.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

"Why are you finished?"

"Stop fucking pretending, hurry up and say it!"

The mouse narrowed its eyes in satisfaction, shook its head again, and wandered to Xiang Hai's side, "I said, little brother, you are not kind. You were punished by Lao Sao, why don't you tell our men?"

He had a regretful expression of missing a good show, "Otherwise, we can also give you advice, and punish him later."

Xiang Hai and Xing Yue looked at each other, and forced the corners of their mouths to curl up, "Hey, it's not something to show your face, don't I think it's embarrassing. Besides, if it gets too big, I should be warned again."

"Well, Brother Mouse, what happened to Lao Sao?" He was also eager to know the details.

Mouse first expressed a little dissatisfaction with this title, but immediately waved his hand, saying that this is not the point today.

"Let me tell you, Lao Sao has been locked up." He said, looking around, admiring everyone's surprised expressions, "It is said that he was stabbed to the instructor by those who followed him."

"..."

"And this thing?"

"Those people found out their conscience?"

"Sold him?"

"Just because you beat up my little brother?"

"What are you thinking? You found out with conscience?" Mouse sneered, "They were also punished, you know?"

"By whom??" Everyone's appetites were whetted.

Mouse rolled his eyes and lowered his voice, "By Zhu Haoyang and his gang."

Hearing this name, everyone fell silent and began to look at each other.

Xing Yue and Xiang Hai also looked at each other, and asked the mouse, "Who is Zhu Haoyang?" He felt as if he had seen this name somewhere before.

"Brother, you came late, I don't know." Mouse enjoyed the time of science popularization, and patiently explained to Xing Yue, "He is the boss of our area now, but he was with Brother Kun before."

"...Brother Kun..." Xing Yue seemed to understand.

"It's He Kun." The mouse lowered his voice again, "You don't even know him."

"He used to be the boss's boss. Four or five months before you came in, he went out."

"But Zhu Haoyang can't get out, so since He Kun left, he is the boss."

"......Oh."

Xing Yue pressed his forehead, and looked at Xiang Hai again.Both of them read complex emotions such as weirdness, helplessness, and understanding from each other's eyes.

It must be that He Kun greeted his subordinates and asked him to pay attention to his and Xiang Hai's movements, so that Zhu Haoyang went to trouble Lao Sao.

Xing Yue didn't know what to say for a moment, he just felt that this matter was both ironic and funny, and also a little bit bitter.

At this time Xiang Hai asked, "Did that Zhu Haoyang beat Lao Sao and his gang?"

The mouse shook his head, "Not at all. Hey, who beats people now, and that idiot Lao Sao is the only one."

"I don't know what tricks they used. Anyway, the gang under Lao Sao's hands betrayed him together and sued him."

"Just because you hit me... no, just because of revenge on me?" Xiang Hai asked again

The mouse continued to shake his head, "Little brother, beating you a few times won't put you in confinement. Lao Sao still has a lot of troubles."

"In the past, he opened an underground casino, committed crimes against the wind, and spent a lot of money. Later, for some reason, people died, and the place was completely closed, and others came in."

"However, he didn't stop when he came in, and kept urging people to gamble with him."

"Can you still gamble here?" Xiang Hai opened his eyes wide.

The mouse gave him a blank look, and continued, "Old Sao has a lot of operations, and he always wins more and loses less. If he wins, he will force someone to call home and ask him to prepare money, and then he will let his little brother outside Block people’s doors and ask for money. If you don’t pay, you will threaten them to clean up people in prison.”

"Anyway, he came and went like this, and he made a lot of money. Later, no one wanted to gamble with him, so he forced them to gamble, and punished them if they didn't do it."

"Actually, Zhu Haoyang and the others knew about these things a long time ago." Mouse scratched his head, "I don't know why Lao Sao suddenly offended him. Anyway, Lao Sao's subordinates finally got rid of these bad things."

"If you want to say that Zhu Haoyang and his gang are professional," the mouse clicked his tongue in admiration, "they take the legal route, and their hands are clean. It's just that idiot Lao Sao, who uses his hands and feet every day, flirting everywhere. "

"He deserves it!"

The heat of this matter lasted until midnight, when only the sound of snoring was left in his ears, Xiang Hai slipped down from the upper bunk and lay down beside Xing Yue's bed.

"Brother?" He squeezed his throat and called him.

Xing Yue took off the blindfold and turned around, "What are you doing?"

"Well, that's the end of Lao Sao's business, right?"

"It should be." Xing Yue nodded.

If what the mouse said is true, then for Lao Sao, the confinement is just the beginning, and the increase of the sentence is definitely not gone.

Xiang Hai pondered for a while before asking again, "Brother, are you happy?"

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

"Well...very happy."

Xiang Hai also couldn't accurately describe his current mood.Happiness is for sure, but it's not that pure, it always seems to be mixed with something.

"Forget it, don't think about it, this person has turned the page."

Xing Yue also felt the same way, but since Lao Sao was punished and he took the legal route, he had nothing to say, and he didn't want to waste any more brain cells for this person.

"Brother, do you know that Zhu Haoyang?"

"do not know."

"Shall we go thank him?"

"...Forget it, let's say goodbye."

"That He Kun, why are you helping me so much?"

"Because my dad helped him once back then, so it counted as saving his life." Xing Yue pinched his forehead.

Although he was reluctant, he still owed He Kun two favors.

Favors owed always have to be repaid, maybe with interest.

He Kun owes Xing Yiqing, he owes He Kun.They each return their own, and two pairs cannot be offset.

As for how to return it, he hasn't figured it out yet.

"Sleep, don't think about it." Xing Yue patted his head.

"Yeah." Xiang Hai agreed, but still stayed on his stomach.

"What else?"

"Brother," he murmured for a long time, "I'm telling you, I'm not wearing underwear."

"???" Xing Yue almost froze.

"Hey, I lied to you." Xiang Hai held him down, "Today is April Fool's Day..."

"Fuck." Xing Yue was speechless and disappointed, and pulled down his blindfold, "You really have a leisurely heart."

After finishing speaking, he turned his body back again, "Hurry up and go to bed."

Xiang Hai had no choice but to climb back on the bed.

In fact, he was going to inquire about Xing Yue's birthday wishes just now, but he didn't ask after thinking about it for a long time.

He was afraid that Xing Yue would say no, and he was even more afraid that he would not be able to fulfill his wish when he said it.

For example, "My wish is to spend my next birthday at home with you."
