Chapter 30 Chapter Twenty Nine

Shao Kuancheng didn't get through to the captain until he checked in at the airport in Paro and boarded the plane. He said that the captain will come back today. He said Captain I saw Mike Reynolds yesterday. He said: "I have stated to Mike Reynolds our position, our determination... The captain was obviously very surprised, so surprised that he didn't make a sound on the phone for a long time.But he still quickly interrupted Shao Kuancheng's report, and asked directly, "The result, what's his reaction?" Shao Kuancheng's mouth was a little confused: "He, he reacted very strongly, and then...then the negotiation didn't work out..."

The captain was silent for a moment, didn't ask any more questions, and said roughly, "We'll talk about it when you come back." take off. Kanchenjunga, Mount Everest, vast white clouds and veil-like mist passed under him one by one. Landing. Three cars parked on the side of the shuttle bus at Xijing Airport, picked up Shao Kuancheng, Li Jin and Director Liu directly from the apron respectively. Li Jin was sent to the hospital, Director Liu was sent home, and Shao Kuancheng was pulled back to the headquarters and brought directly into the conference room.In the meeting room, leaders at all levels sat together.

For the first time since Shao Kuancheng joined the Criminal Investigation Corps, he sat in the middle of the conference table like a protagonist, feeling nervous and cramped.The meeting room was surprisingly quiet, and everyone was holding their breaths listening to his chaotic report—the situation of Paro, the whole story of entering the mountain, the quarrel with Mike Reynolds...he didn't know if he should describe what he said at the time. His righteousness and majesty, he only knows that things have come to this point, if you judge a hero by success or failure, it can only be that the hero is short of breath, and it cannot be said that defeat is glorious.

No one interrupted at the venue, but everyone's faces were covered with black lines, and their complexions were not very good.Shao Kuancheng was so thirsty that his throat was dry, he didn't dare to get up to find water; he didn't dare to leave the table to relieve his emergency while holding back his urine.Although his meeting with Mike Reynolds surprised the whole team, but this unexpected meeting ended in failure, which seemed to be expected. No one came forward to criticize Shao Kuancheng's sense of proportion and scale when confronting Mike Reynolds.The team leader just asked Shao Kuancheng several times in a row why he didn’t call for instructions before or on the way into the mountain, and why he didn’t report in time after he left the mountain—after Li Jin became seriously ill, the team leader had clearly instructed Shao Kuancheng to ask him for instructions and report directly if something happened— As for whether Paro's phone signal is not good, Shao Kuancheng can't tell whether the captain can accept the explanation.

Finally, it will be scattered. After the meeting adjourned, the captain and deputy captain hurried to report to the Municipal Bureau with solemn faces.The sky outside the window didn't know when it was dark, Shao Kuancheng ran to the toilet first, and felt exhausted when he returned to the first team's office.There were no lights on in the office.He pulled the light cord and walked a few steps towards his desk, only to find that there was a person sitting on his seat. He blinked several times before he recognized that the person was actually Li Jin. He was very surprised: "Captain, you are not hospitalized?"

Li Jin's throat still seemed to be inflamed, and his voice was cloudy: "I got the injection. It's fine, I'm almost healed." He said, "Captain, then I'll drive you home." Li Jin said, "Okay." Li Jin stood up, apparently still out of breath, but he asked calmly, "Is the meeting over?" "It's over." Shao Kuancheng said, "When you were seriously ill in Bhutan, the captain asked me to report directly to him..." "I know." Li Jin said: "The political commissar has told me about the situation. It is a great reward for you to meet Mike Reynolds. At least tell him our attitude. It is good that you do this That's it, the mission is complete."

Li Jin's words were the first positive affirmation of Shao Kuancheng's entry into the mountain, and gave Shao Kuancheng unexpected comfort and great encouragement. At that moment, he suddenly had the urge to cry again.He wants to cry whenever he is moved, which is a problem for a man!He hurriedly used his movements to cover up, and reached out to support Li Jin, but Li Jin waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it.They went out together and went downstairs together.The lights at the stairway were not turned on either, it was a request to save electricity for a while.Li Jin spoke again in the darkness, his voice seemed much clearer.

"The political commissar just informed me that with the approval of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, Zhao Hongyu will posthumously record first-class merit and confer the title of martyr. The municipal government has decided to bury Zhao Hongyu's ashes in the Longshan Martyrs Cemetery." Shao Kuancheng didn't notice that his footsteps stopped at some point.Li Jin also stopped.They stood face to face in the dark, and the two stretched out their arms almost at the same time, hugging each other tightly! Three days later, Shao Kuancheng and Li Jin went to the Xijing City Detention Center together.Although Li Jin has not yet returned to work, his body is close to recovery.

In an interview room of the detention center, they met the gray-haired Professor Wan. Professor Wan is visibly thinner and much older.Compared with the elegant and eloquent scholar on the screen, he is a completely different person.He sat across from Li Jin and Shao Kuancheng across the railing, seemingly unable to figure out why these two policemen who were handling the case at the investigation stage came after his case had entered the court proceedings. After sitting down, Li Jin spoke quickly. "Wan Zhenggang, according to the decision of the Xijing Municipal People's Government, Zhao Hongyu, a policeman from the Xijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, was awarded the title of martyr, and her remains will be moved to Xijing Longshan Martyrs Cemetery for burial. We are here today to inform you that the remains of Martyr Zhao Hongyu The burial is arranged by the government and will be carried out in the near future."

Shao Kuancheng saw that Wan Zhenggang, the well-informed and well-versed Professor Wan, had his eyes widened and his mouth half-opened, with a completely dumbfounded look on his face.He may have made various speculations, but the purpose of the two policemen's visit today was obviously beyond his expectations. "You... want to move Xiaoyu away? Wan'an Cemetery is the most upscale cemetery in Xijing, with the best facilities, greenery, service, and Feng Shui. I spent a total of money on Xiaoyu's tomb..." "This is the government's decision!" Li Jin interrupted him without hesitation: "We are not here to ask for your opinion, but to inform you. Although you are involved in a crime, we respect your right to know."

"I am Xiao Yu's father, and I am her biological father! You should always discuss with me how to arrange Xiao Yu's funeral..." "You are not qualified!" Although Li Jin's physical strength has not yet recovered, his tone is shocking enough: "You are the murderer who killed Martyr Zhao Hongyu! Martyr Zhao Hongyu has never done his father's upbringing from birth to adulthood. Therefore, you have no right to the burial of martyr Zhao Hongyu! You have no qualifications!" Wan Zhenggang suddenly lost his voice, he lowered his head, his face looked like he was suffering from a serious illness, and even the little blood that was there just now was gone.Li Jin said to Shao Kuancheng: "Let's go." He stood up first and walked out the door.Unexpectedly, Wan Zhenggang raised his head suddenly and called him to a stop. "Officer Li!" Li Jin stood still, facing each other with a cold face, without making a sound. Wan Zhenggang trembled: "I only have one request..." After a pause, he changed the wording again: "I only have one request. When Xiao Yu is reburied, can I go and send her off? Also, I hope that on Xiaoyu's tombstone, even on the back, I can write my condolences for her. After all, I am her only blood relative. After all, she is my flesh and blood. I... express the feelings of a father." Li Jin looked at Wan Zhenggang coldly, and after a long time, he said slowly, "You made two requests."After a pause, he continued: "We will not agree to these two requests. You are not mourning the martyr Zhao Hongyu, but repenting. If you can still be reborn as a human being in the next life, do more good deeds so that you can be redeemed." sin!" After Li Jin finished speaking, he walked out of the meeting room without looking back. Professor Wan stood up and shouted: "Officer Li, Li... Xiao Shao, Xiao Shao! Officer Shao! Officer Shao!" Shao Kuancheng stopped and turned around. He saw Professor Wan's face pressed against the iron fence, and there seemed to be tears on his face. "Please, please give me a gift of Xiaoyu." Professor Wan choked up in his mouth, "Please tell her that in my next life... I will be her cow and horse in the next life... You tell her, I, I love her of……" Tears welled up in Shao Kuancheng's eyes, and he couldn't tell whether it was sadness or hatred.His voice was also a little choked, it was an uncontrollable heartache! "You want everything in your life. You want fame, wealth and status, but you also want to feel good. You killed her and you have to see her off. Do you want her to forgive you? If you go and see her off, can she rest in peace? ? She... She is so pure, so kind... Can she recognize a beast like you as her father! Get out of this world quickly, at that time, no one will send you off!" On the night when I went to Xijing Detention Center to meet Professor Wan, a phone call woke Shao Kuancheng out of bed.That call was an order to come to the headquarters immediately. The call came from the duty room of the headquarter. It was three o'clock in the morning when Shao Kuancheng arrived at the headquarter, and the captain Li Jin arrived almost at the same time.When they walked into the conference room together, they saw that the captain had arrived earlier and was discussing something with the captain on duty that day, and when they heard them enter the room, they continued to tell the captain on duty without raising their heads... Shao Kuancheng only understood the captain Ask him to call the secretary of the bureau chief at seven o'clock in the morning, and make an appointment with the bureau chief to listen to his report at eight o'clock.The captain on duty walked away repeatedly, and the chief captain turned his eyes to them. "Sit down." The captain waved at Shao Kuancheng.Because Li Jin had already sat down by himself, only Shao Kuancheng stood still. "Just now, the general duty room received an email from Mike Reynolds. He sent it at one o'clock in the afternoon in New York time, and it was sent to the mailbox of your first team." The mailbox of the first team is the work mailbox that Shao Kuancheng is responsible for managing.It was also the mailbox they used to communicate with Mike Reynolds and Qian Jin.The duty room of the head team is responsible for checking the work mailboxes of each team every night during the off-duty period, so as not to delay mails that must be processed in a timely manner. Shao Kuancheng's heart was pounding, and he subconsciously looked at Li Jin.Li Jin looked at the captain without taking his eyes off it. "Mike Reynolds said that the two sides can send official representatives to negotiate on an equal footing. He hopes that the venue for the negotiations will be Hong Kong." Before Shao Kuancheng could fully understand, it was Li Jin's turn to turn to look at him. Although his gaze was only for a moment, he clearly expressed his appreciation and praise for his young subordinate—if Shao Kuancheng hadn't ventured into the mountains alone to meet Mike The fruitless verbal battle that Linos engaged in may not have the result of tonight's opponent asking for talks. The captain had already made an appointment to report to the bureau leader in a few hours. He called Li Jin and Shao Kuancheng overnight to study and discuss the countermeasures.Of course, the report to the bureau leader must come with a plan.Of course, the plan was mainly to discuss with Li Jin, but Shao Kuancheng, as the only person who had met Mike Reynolds, was also the main contributor to bringing Mike Reynolds to the negotiating table, so he was also called to participate in the discussion.For Shao Kuancheng, this is undoubtedly a great affirmation and encouragement, and it may be regarded as an important progress in his career. In the morning, after dawn, the captain left the conference room and rushed to report to the Municipal Bureau.Shao Kuancheng and Li Jin still stayed in the conference room, and continued to chat about the case with the political commissar of the corps and several investigators of the first team who had just come to work. Most people did not expect to take the initiative to interview Mike Reynolds.At eleven o'clock in the morning, the captain came back.At a quarter past eleven, Li Jin was called to the captain's office for a meeting.At a quarter past twelve, Li Jin returned to the first team and announced the decision of the Municipal Bureau to immediately send a negotiating team to Hong Kong for negotiations.Everyone thought of going to Hong Kong for negotiations, but according to the research of the Municipal Bureau and the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, the team for going to Hong Kong was headed by the head of the Criminal Investigation Corps, and a director of the Provincial Museum was the deputy head. There were four people in total.Among the four, Li Jin and Shao Kuancheng were not among them, which was unexpected by everyone. Later, according to the explanation of the political commissar of the Corps, because Li Jin’s body was still recovering, and the work intensity of the negotiations in Hong Kong was unpredictable, Li Jin was not arranged to go there; In addition to the addition of a legal expert, the Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics also sent a translator who is familiar with the professional English of cultural relics, so Shao Kuancheng was naturally eliminated.The political commissar comforted Shao Kuancheng and said, "Although you talked about things in a deadlock last time, the deterrent effect still played a role, so even though you are defeated, you are honored, and you are honored to be defeated, ah!" There may be another reason why Shao Kuancheng was not allowed to go to Hong Kong to participate in the negotiations, that is, Zhao Hongyu's burial will be carried out in a few days.Although Shao Kuancheng cannot be regarded as Zhao Hongyu's relatives, everyone in the team knows his love with Hongyu. How could Shao Kuancheng be absent from Zhao Hongyu's funeral ceremony and memorial service. This is what Li Jin told him in private.
