Chapter 663 A Story (Part 1)

Even ten years ago, "I" was an uncle who was about to run for three years. After reaching the age of twenty-five, which is the "death line" for young people, I still worked as an auxiliary police officer. Even the auxiliary police officers were related by family members. The position I got for myself is, in general, about to turn 30, but it has no future and no way out in the future.

"My" name is Zhou Jingzhe, twenty-five years old. At least I will be twenty-five in the following story.

—

When I was eighteen years old, after I failed the college entrance examination, I naturally felt confused about the suddenness. After one night of enlightenment, I just felt that life was about having fun, rather than the step-by-step process of college, graduation, marriage, having children, and then the grave. The future makes me feel bleak. In my heart, I am a person full of innovation and intrusion. I think that studying all the way is not suitable for me. My ambition should be in the chaotic and disorderly distance.

Then I ran away from home and plunged into the coastal city known as "Little Shanghai", hoping to break into a new world.

Six or seven years have passed, and Xintiandi has not broken out, but I have visited Xintiandi Club many times. The girls there are very refreshing and the massage is powerful enough. The temperature of the sauna is also strong enough - of course, the above are all formal , I never do anything that violates the law.

After graduating from high school, more than half of my future options were blocked due to academic issues. In the first two years, I wasted the most precious two years of my life by distributing leaflets and working as a network administrator. I was too embarrassed to go home and ask for help. With the help of a cousin who was a soldier, he managed to find a position as an auxiliary police officer, and then he worked steadily for the past few years.

I have my own piece of land in this corner of the coastal city, but my job as an auxiliary police officer is usually to do security patrols, community management, and traffic diversion. From time to time, I am transferred because of quarrels with the aunts in the community. Coordination makes me feel that I am not working in the police station but in the neighborhood committee.

Furthermore, there is really no future for the position of auxiliary police. The contract system limits the prospects. If you want to truly become a full-time administrative staff, you have to take the civil service exam or go through targeted recruitment. But these two paths are basically not suitable for me. Possibly, failing the college entrance examination will tell you how bad I am at studying. Every word I write is like a turtle crawling. Every time I record a dossier, I have to be disliked by other policemen in the bureau. I have made an effort to buy it. I wanted to practice using a copybook, but in the end all I could read was my name, so I just gave up.

I know very well that if I want to become a full-time employee, I have to make meritorious deeds, and I have to make great merit in order to cross the threshold of academic qualifications and become a formally employed employee. But the problem is that today, as public security is getting better and better, it is really difficult to see third-class practitioners walking on the streets.

As far as I know, the habitual criminals caught by the bureau are all thieves. Those who were caught were almost always found by checking the stolen goods after committing the crime and cooperating with surveillance. Getting caught is basically non-existent. Even though I often patrol the streets, I still take it seriously. I haven't seen many people who dare to act blatantly. This also made me think that there is a high probability that I will continue to die in this position in the next five years.

But things always turn around. I never expected that I wouldn't have to look for opportunities to make meritorious deeds. Instead, they would just hit me in the face.

It was a rainy afternoon, and it was always rainy in that coastal city. I was eating dandan noodles in the police station. Maybe it was because the boss’s hands were shaking and he put too much red chili oil in. That bowl of noodles made me shed some tears. , it’s like the noodles in the bowl are my youth, one bite is missing, and when I’m about to finish it, I’m left with tears streaming down my face.

To be honest, it was quite embarrassing for an old man to cry over a bowl of hot noodles. Just when I was wiping my tears quietly to avoid being discovered, I suddenly noticed a little girl standing in front of me at some point. Half a year old, about eight or nine years old, and coincidentally, she was also wiping tears at that time, her eyes as red as mine.

When I was still thinking about the possibility that this bowl of dandan noodles would not only make me cry, but also make the people next to me so spicy, the little girl had already spoken out her reason for coming. While she was trying hard to hold back the emotion of wanting to cry, her language logic It was still surprisingly powerful. She told me in sobs that she was from an orphanage in the south of the city. She was in big trouble and didn't know what to do. She was very scared.

I told you to speak slowly, I am a police officer. Auxiliary police officers are also police officers! I won't be afraid. You can tell your uncle slowly.

She nodded and stabilized her mood, and continued to whisper to me that her brother had been forgotten by the people in the orphanage recently. She could not find her brother anywhere since yesterday. As she spoke, His eyes were even redder, and he looked like he was about to cry.

I immediately slapped my thigh and cursed loudly, something like "fuck you, you trafficker". It was a bit vulgar, but it was considered a blurt out and not a deliberate attempt to teach a bad child.

Then I asked the little girl, if the people in the orphanage are abandoned, your orphanage director will not care? The girl just shook her head and said that the people in the orphanage didn't care at all. After she couldn't find her brother, she had nothing to do. She only remembered the saying that the orphanage had always taught "if you have trouble, call the police", so she came up with the idea of ​​​​looking at me while crying. The scene where I was made to cry by the dandan noodles.

At that time, I was shocked by the indifference and inaction of the orphanage. I immediately became even more indignant, but I could only be indignant. At that time, I was an auxiliary police officer and had no independent law enforcement power. I had to be accompanied by a veteran official with senior qualifications when I was on duty. No matter how angry I was, I couldn't get rid of him, so he went to the orphanage and talked to those cold-blooded guys about the wisdom of the world.

At that time, I immediately called Mr. Huang from the police station, the veteran policeman who had been guiding me all these years, taking me out of the police and into new worlds. After receiving the call, Lao Huang, who was eating, immediately put down his rice bowl, and Teng Teng Teng ran back to ask me what happened.

After I immediately relayed the general situation, Lao Huang was filled with righteous indignation as I thought. He was so warm-hearted and his temper suddenly rose. He said that the mother was a bastard in the orphanage and was eating from the government and not doing anything. The child was thrown away. At least call the police and file a case! You want to deal with it quietly and coldly, but what if a child reports the crime? Isn't this just disgusting and makes children lose trust in society from an early age?

We immediately filed a case and applied for a door-to-door investigation. Lao Huang was senior and the investigation was immediately approved. At that time, the tolerance for human traffickers was still very low. It was even more embarrassing to see this kind of thing happen in the city we were responsible for. Getting angry.

At that time, I was ready to argue with the orphanage. I had my baton strapped to my waist. I traveled across half of the city to find the orphanage the little girl was talking about, and I became even more angry. What was the reason that could make this girl so angry? You only dare to go to the police station on the other side of the city to find the police? Is this orphanage still using abuse to warn these children not to go to the police?

When the police came to the door, the orphanage should not be indifferent. The person who received us was the director of the orphanage. Her surname was Li. She was a woman in her forties. People in the orphanage called her Mother Li. She looked very kind and well-dressed. Her clothes and accessories are also very plain, and they don't look like they are using the orphan welfare to buy brand-name goods while lining their own pockets. But that's just the appearance. Who can tell what they are actually?

At that time, she seemed very surprised and surprised to see us coming to the door, and quickly took us to the reception room on the way to the reception room. The children in the orphanage were also crowding around and looking at us, looking very curious, but more of a yearning. After all, the police uniform was no different from Superman in the eyes of the children. This wonderful feeling made us even more excited. As an auxiliary police officer who had failed the civil service exam three times, I kept my waist straight, fearing that I would be inferior in the eyes of the children. At the same time, I have become more determined to support justice and expose the despicable behavior of the management of this orphanage to inaction to criticism from all walks of life.

Lao Huang and I sat in the reception room. The orphanage served us good tea. Dean Li took out some Dajili black tea given by parents of adopted children from the tea cabinet and made two cups of tea. Lao Huang knew the taste. Thumbs up, but I didn't drink - I have been full of justice since I was a child, and for Ultraman's victory, I was even willing to play the role of a little monster and be beaten by the children playing Ultraman. I think Dean Li is overshadowing this. Evil men in human skin try to bribe in the face of justice.

I said with a cold face, Dean Li is good at remembering the location of the tea leaves, but I hope you can focus on remembering the children as well as the tea leaves.

My aggressiveness immediately calmed down Dean Li. Lao Huang who was beside me also coughed, probably because he was choked by the aftermath of my righteous iron fist. I stared at Dean Li coldly, trying to see what she was doing. I felt guilty and cowardly when I asked, and even concealed my anger and dissatisfaction, but in the end, the other party looked at the two of us blankly and said, what a good boy, good tea?

I was irritated by this pretense, but fortunately, Lao Huang secretly gave me a wink to calm me down. I also remembered that I was only an auxiliary police officer, and I could only assist in the police work. I still had to have experienced people to investigate the case. Lao Huang is here.

So I sat there with a bad face, waiting for Lao Huang to patiently tell me the whole story about how someone reported a missing child in the orphanage, but the orphanage did not report the police and did nothing. It is worth mentioning that Lao Huang was very special during the process. Scheming did not elaborate on who reported the crime, probably because he was worried that if there was really a problem with the orphanage, the little girl would be retaliated and abused later.

After hearing this, Dean Li was silent for a while, then suddenly looked at me and asked, Comrade Auxiliary Police Officer, is the person who came to your police station to report the case a little girl of about ten years old, wearing a light yellow dress? Down jacket, the kind that looks so cute with a ponytail.

I said yes. The little girl went to our police station to report the crime in person. Is it false? Your orphanage is very good and does not allow children to report crimes. Now that the investigation is so clear, are you still preparing to retaliate?

Dean Li quickly waved his hand and said no, no, you misunderstood. Then he poured tea for Lao Huang very patiently and explained, this auxiliary policeman and his police comrades, to be honest with you, you are really not the first group. Someone came to our orphanage to ask about this matter.

I was shocked at that time, man, we are not the first batch yet. Is there someone behind this Dean Li or something? Is he really covering up this one-third of an acre of land with one hand? Even the police station has nothing to do with her!

But Dean Li immediately saw that I had misunderstood, and explained that three waves of people from the police station had come before us, all from the branch, and even one time from the main bureau, all investigating. We are talking about the orphanage that lost a child and did not report it. As for why it has not been solved after several visits, it is because this incident did not happen at all!

I was stunned at the time, because according to what Director Li said, it seemed that the little girl was not the first to report the crime to me. She had already reported the crime to two or three police stations before me, and every time All branches dispatched police officers to investigate, but the result was nothing in the end?

Someone lied.

Lao Huang gave me a look at that time, and I immediately understood what he meant. Either Dean Li was bluffing us, or the little girl was simply reporting a false alarm. But I am more inclined to believe it. In the former case, the little girl's eyes were red and her voice was trembling as she begged me for help. I can still see it before my eyes. That kind of collapse couldn't be fake. Then it was Dean Li who spoke. This son of a bitch was about to die. After pleading guilty, he also wanted to deceive him, an auxiliary police officer of the People's Police, to be considered a police officer!

Dean Li noticed the distrust between me and Lao Huang, and immediately sighed, then stood up and walked towards the door. At that time, I thought that this guy was going to flee in fear of crime and was about to pull out his baton to take someone, but I didn't expect that she just opened the door and went outside. Stopped an employee of an orphanage and asked her in a low voice to call a child named Lin... Lin or something? It seems to be Lin Xian?

Dean Li's voice was very low and I couldn't hear him clearly, but I recognized the little girl who walked into the reception room a few minutes later, because she was the girl who reported the crime to me. She actually slipped back without knowing when. .

Dean Li brought her to the two of us and calmly asked her to repeat what happened.

At that time, I stared at her and said, little girl, don't be afraid, I am the police. Say whatever you have to say, and don't change your words because others threaten you. I believe what you say more than your dean!

The little girl stared at me and then at Lao Huang. Her eyes were still red and she didn't seem to be crying much.

She whispered to us, "My brother is gone. I can't find my brother."

I looked at her and asked patiently, what is your brother's name, how old he is, what he looks like, what color and characteristics were the clothes he was wearing when he disappeared?

The little girl said that her brother, named Lin Nian, was very cute, but he disappeared two days ago.

I looked at Dean Li angrily, wanting to see what this old witch had to say, but the other party let out a long sigh, knelt down and faced the little girl, held her shoulders and looked at each other, saying,

"Tell the truth to the police uncle. Have you forgotten that I have taught you not to lie? Are you going to tell the police uncle that someone is really lost in the orphanage?"

I dragged the little girl over at that time and scolded Dean Li fiercely. He was so fucking stupid. He dared to intimidate other children in front of us. Isn't private abuse and corporal punishment so rare? Your place is not an orphanage, it is simply a concentration camp, and it is just short of sending the children to poison gas experiments.

Maybe I was too excited, and my sense of justice was so loud that it attracted people outside the reception room. Many employees opened the door and came in to ask what was going on. When they came, they saw me grabbing the little girl. A scene where he angrily scolds the restrained Dean Li.

Instead of being confused and arguing, they had expressions on their faces like "Why are we here again?" This scene made me even more irritated. I felt that the entire orphanage staff was so fucking cowardly that no one had any good intentions.

I dragged the little girl and was about to leave the reception room. Lao Huang, who had been silent until now, raised his hand and said, Xiao Zhou, wait a minute while I go out to make a phone call.

I said, what are you waiting for? Old Huang, can't you see that this place is a devil's cave that eats people without spitting out their bones? These children staying here are like monks in the goblin pot, but they don't have a grandson to save them. I, Zhou Jingzhe, can't stand it today. You have to come out to take care of this matter. Is there any big shot behind your orphanage who is backing you? Just come out. You can kill me. My cousin is a soldier in the army and something happened to me. Can you see if he can bring someone to deal with you guys? .

Lao Huang also saw that I was getting emotional at that time, so he called out my full name and said, Zhou Jingzhe, calm down. Do you want the truth or your third-class merit? No one can draw a conclusion now about what exactly happened. Have you forgotten what was said in the auxiliary police officer's regular exam about being cleared of suspicion? When we come out to handle a case, we have to use evidence to speak for ourselves. Now, can people on both sides say a few words and use it as evidence? You don’t want to be an auxiliary police officer anymore, right?

Lao Huang is my old work partner. I couldn't really go against him out of passion, so I kept silent and became much calmer and dragged the little girl behind me. Lao Huang took the phone and went out and asked Dean Li and I to wait for a few minutes. I turned around and glanced at the little girl. The little girl stared at me and shook her head gently. The red eyes in her eyes were all inappropriate for her age. She was so determined, as if she was biting herself to death without speaking. She just lost a younger brother.

I looked at Dean Li and said, "Okay, just wait. Even if you deceive everyone, you can't deceive me." But Dean Li still had no resentment after I lost my temper and said so many words. He just sighed and said, Comrade Auxiliary Police, I know you feel that you are speaking out for justice now, but this is all a misunderstanding. She did not lie. she just

I interrupted her and said you don't want to say that a child is mentally ill and talking nonsense, do you? If you really say this, I will blow your head off with a baton.

Dean Li suddenly stopped talking. He looked at me for a long time and then said, Comrade Auxiliary Police Officer, you are a kind person. If you only want to believe the children, then you might as well go out and ask other children, right? Ask them if a child named Lin Nian is missing in the orphanage. Are we lying and hiding the truth?

I turned around and asked the little girl if that was the name of your brother. The little girl nodded vigorously, with hope and expectation in her eyes for the first time, which made me feel that I was her only one after countless times of despair. The light of hope.

I said yes, let's go and ask together, and then I took her out of the reception room. There happened to be a group of children who didn't know the truth gathered around the reception room, listening in the corner, and a few of them were playing and playing around the outside.

I asked all the children to come over and identify themselves, saying that I was a people's policeman. Now the policeman asked everyone something, and everyone must answer honestly and honestly.

All the kids said yes.

I brought the little girl to me and said, her brother's name is Lin Nian. He was also a child who grew up in this orphanage like you. But he disappeared two or three days ago. Do you know where he went? ?

After asking, I stared at the expressions of these children, trying to see some fear of being threatened on their faces, but unfortunately, all I saw was confusion and confusion.

The children seemed to be stunned, then shook their heads in unison and said, Lin Nian? I don’t know, I don’t know, but we recognize the girl in front of you, uncle policeman. Her name is Lin Xian, right?

They all said in unison that there were only a few children named Lin in the entire orphanage, and Lin Xian was the most beautiful, so they all knew it, but Lin Nian? There is no Lin Nian here.

I admit that I was shaken for a moment. Uncertain self-questions made me turn my head and look at the girl. The girl seemed to have expected that I would look at her. She was also looking at me at that time, staring into my eyes. Just sadness and a touch of disappointment.

What kind of disappointment was that? It was like the last beam of light disappeared in her eyes, and I also disappeared in her eyes, thus revealing the deeper despair underneath the disappointment. The girl is truly desperate.

I gritted my teeth and said, children, please don’t lie to me, the police uncle, and don’t be intimidated by the threats from adults. Please answer me honestly whether I have a child named Lin Nian. He is this girl’s younger brother and he got lost accidentally. , his sister is really anxious now!

But the children still all answered that they didn't know them. There has never been anyone named Lin Nian in the orphanage. The orphanage staff on the side shook their heads when they saw my question. Li Yuan looked at this playful scene at the door of the reception room. Chang just sighed softly.

In fact, my heart was half cold when I got here, and most of the coolness after that was due to the cold water poured on me by Lao Huang who came over after making the phone call. He came over and dragged me away from the little girl without even looking at the little girl. He glanced at me and whispered to me, "Let's go, Xiao Zhou." This is just a joke. I just called the general bureau to ask about this matter. Several people in the branch were fooled. This is just a lie made by a girl who is bored. .

I said how is that possible? How could you go to all the police stations in the city to report a crime for lying at the age of eight or nine? Is this reasonable?

Lao Huang retorted, saying, at the age of eight or nine, do you dare to go to all the police stations in the city to report one incident? Is this reasonable?

I was suddenly speechless, because I found that this was simply nonsense logic.

Lao Huang looked at me dumbfounded and sighed and said, this matter has really been investigated. There is no culprit behind the scenes or a sophisticated background. The child 'Lin Nian' is not in the orphanage files at all. The girl who reported the case is either lying. Either she really has a mental problem. Otherwise, why would such a beautiful and cute little girl grow up in an orphanage? You have really lost face today. Fortunately, no one else knows about it. Forget it, I will take you to Xintiandi tonight to wash your feet and relax. Forget about it.

I didn't know what to say at the time, until Lao Huang apologized to Dean Li for my attitude, and then dragged me to bow my head and apologize for losing my temper before, and finally dragged me out of the orphanage.

I had no idea how I got out of it. Losing my temper in the orphanage was like losing face. But just when I was about to take the car back to the police station, I looked back at the orphanage. At the gate, the little girl was still standing there, wearing a dirty down jacket, looking at me, and I looked at her. I could see that her eye circles were still red, but she did not continue to cry.

I don’t know why, but I suddenly had a hunch. No matter whether this girl was lying or not, no matter whether “Lin Nian”, the lost child in the orphanage, existed or not, this girl would keep running and run out of the orphanage countless times. Asking for help, because she really believes that there is a child named Lin Nian in this world, who is her brother, and she can't find him now.

The police stations across the city have probably blacklisted her, so what will she do next? Who to go to for help?

I don't know, but I only know that she will really continue to search until she finds her younger brother, the child named "Lin Nian".

ps: The story is not long, but there will be a lot of exciting news
