Chapter 598: A Man Remains Young Until His Death
Shocked that the old man could still do such an exciting exercise at such an old age, Chen Shu felt a little admiration in his heart before he even saw him.
This subtle feeling has nothing to do with occupation, age and identity, it is just a resonance between men.
"No wonder it's so sensational, this old man is really vigorous!"
"Yes, not to mention us, even the woman finds it incredible. If she hadn't been taken to the station and learned about the old man's age from the side, she would never have guessed that he was in his seventies or eighties. During the exercise, she thought he was only in his early fifties, very fierce!"
Chen Shu turned a corner and saw an old man with a ruddy face sitting in the middle of the cage. This open-minded momentum didn't seem like he was arrested for ticket Chang.
Generally speaking, men involved in ticket cases are generally in a bad mental state when they enter the cage. They stare at the direction of the cage door in shock, fearing that it is their own wife who comes in. It is normal to be timid.
"Hey, the leader is here. Can I go now?" The old man smiled and spoke loudly. You can tell he is a seasoned man.
Li Chaoyang, who was following behind Chen Shu, said softly, "The old man said he has a heart disease and he is over 70 years old, so the detention center won't take him. Tsk, he has more experience than me!"
Although the old man has a head full of white hair, his ears are very sharp. He obviously heard Li Chaoyang's explanation, and his face was full of pride.
He put his right foot on his left knee and said happily, "This young leader is right. I have a heart disease. You have to be careful. If I fall, you will be in trouble."
Chen Shu just thought it was interesting to listen to the rough description of Lao Ding and Li Chaoyang. When he saw this old and strong man, he felt close to him for some reason.
He was in his prime, so he didn't care about the maintenance. However, seeing the strong and solid body of the old man, he became polite as soon as he said this.
During the chat, I learned that the old man liked this, and he couldn't spend all the five or six thousand yuan of pension every month, so he would discuss the depth of life with the young lady every three or five days.
A brilliant idea suddenly flashed in Chen Shu's mind.
"Give enough clue funds, and let this old man come forward to try A_PARTY's pornography industry, isn't it a win-win situation!"
Who would have thought that an old man over seventy would be an informant for the police?
And ordinary informants, if the police let them go, they would be a bomb, and who knows what bombs would explode later. So in pornography cases, the police usually only collect information and will not really send informants to fish.
But this old man is very different. Not only does he like this, he also regards it as a pleasure in life; secondly, if he is really caught and fined, he will not be sent to a detention center due to his own objective situation.
At most, he will be fined a little, and he can still go home to eat on the same day. The police are big and can afford to pay for clues. When the fine is reduced, maybe the old man can get more bonuses to subsidize his life, or even save some money to buy a house for his great-grandson.
Best of both worlds!
Chen Shu immediately expressed his thoughts.
The old man laughed and nodded frequently: "If you don't mention it, you can't arrest me. I know this very well. But you are a very interesting policeman, different from other policemen who like to preach. It's my taste. Oh, this is a wonderful thing. It's vulgar to mention money. No money, oh, no clue fee!"
Then the old man raised his hand and said with full energy: "Leader, just wait for me to come out to find you! I'll take this matter!"
The voice was a little loud, attracting people in other cages nearby to look around frequently, thinking that the new police leader had something to say to the arrogant old man.
Chen Shu reached for his trouser pocket and was ready to hand a cigarette to the old senior to express his respect according to the rules of the underworld. Suddenly, he thought that this was not very convenient in the detention room. The people next to him also kept looking here, and there were several cameras hanging above his head with no blind spots, so he invited the person to the office upstairs.
The three of them sat down in the reception sofa of the comprehensive security office on the second floor in order of priority.
Chen Shu first handed the old man a cigarette to express his gratitude for his cooperation with the public security work, and then started chatting about everything under the sun.
Having worked in the police station for so many years, Chen Shu's eloquence is not in vain, especially when he intentionally flatters the other party, the two of them immediately became close friends regardless of age.
"Uncle, why do you want to do this? Isn't it nice to just hug your great-grandchildren at home?"
"I'm dying."
"You? Dying? Haha, I don't think so."
"Leader, I'm already this old. Even if I'm in good health, I can't live more than a few years. Today you see me sitting here, but I might be lying dead next week."
"Uncle, you're kidding. You can live at least 20 years."
"Leader, don't talk nonsense. I know. I just want to see more, hear more, touch more, and experience more of the beauty of this world before I can't walk anymore."
"Didn't you say that you can't spend all your pension? Then you can let your son or grandson take you to the most expensive restaurant in the city for a good meal, go to the most luxurious hotel for a nap, and go to the most beautiful place in China for a walk. Isn't doing anything better than going to find a young lady?"
The old man with a cigarette in his mouth slowly put down his left leg that was originally raised, and his eyes finally revealed the worldly insight unique to people of this age.
He took a breath, stopped calling Chen Shu his leader, and said slowly: "Young man, you are still too young. The beauty in this world is not only good things and positive things. I have lived an ordinary life in my life. To be honest, after more than seventy years, I still feel a little regretful.
"I just want to experience before I die how those rebellious and lawless people in the eyes of honest people like us live. So, I just want to try something bad that I didn't dare to do before. Just live your life as normal, it’s that simple.”
Chen Shu and Li Chaoyang were both silent.
That night, the old man was fined 500 yuan and released.
Before leaving, the old man hummed a song and swayed as he walked. He was obviously very satisfied with his new job. After walking far away, he turned back and waved his hand towards Chen Shu.
He used this gold medal for self-protection, which was "not accepted in detention centers if he is over 70 years old", and the effect was truly first-class.
It was precisely because of his advanced age that Chen Shu and Li Chaoyang almost accompanied this veritable old man to complete the procedures in the police station and then send him out of the door.
It wasn't until the other party stepped out from the threshold of the courtyard that the two of them let out a long sigh of relief.
Li Chaoyang stood shoulder to shoulder next to Chen Shu and said doubtfully: "Senior brother, this old man is old after all. If he is used as an informant, if something happens to the woman in the hotel, it will be troublesome for his family to find him. You have to be careful whether this responsibility is big or small.”
Chen Shu looked at the back of the old man walking in the distance and affirmed: "Don't worry, I just want him to be the leader. After all, the temperament of this old female ticket customer can really intimidate people. How can she really make him real if she takes her to the hotel?" Go to bed. But having said that, this old man is quite qualified. In the early years, I met some who were a little younger than him. Tsk, that was much worse. "
When talking about what happened back then, Li Chaoyang felt the same and said with emotion: "Hey, it's the bad guys who are getting old. Those old people pretended to be deaf and dumb because of their age. I remember one time, a few of them who were still relying on their old age made rude remarks to us. For fear of scaring others, we were careful not to rebuke or educate them too loudly. It seemed like we were the ones who did the wrong thing."
After a pause, he turned his head and stared at Chen Shu seriously: "Brother, I can feel that you did have this old man's idea when we were in the detention room, but then you invited people to the office on the second floor, and I knew You regretted it a little and wanted to shirk it, so why did you agree in the end?"
Chen Shu stared at the direction the old man was leaving and said slowly: "Didn't the old man say that he is about to die? I want to have a different way of living in the end, so give it to him."
"."
"Time flies so fast."
"Yes, who says it's not?"
"A man remains a boy until he dies."
"Yes, who says it's not?"
"Senior brother, lend me a fire."
The fluorescent lamp above the entrance of the compound was swaying, and the dim light fell on his face, with varying brightness.
Chen Shu turned his head to light Li Chaoyang's cigarette, and then realized that the immature young policeman who he had always thought was still young, as if he had just graduated from the police academy, had now turned into the same person he was before.
He was unshaven and had bags under his eyes.
But under the dim light, his eyes were piercing.
