Chapter 9 Section 4

 Late at night.In addition to the sleepless policemen in the ancient city, there are also sleepless relatives who worry about their lives.Every family, every household, every relative... Lin Tiange classified the materials investigated during the day into files, and recorded the people to be investigated the next day and the work to be done in the notebook.He got up and stretched to feel sleepy, so he turned off the light and folded his clothes and lay on the bed. In the dark, no matter whether he closed his eyes or opened them, the back of a person who turned around was always swaying in front of his eyes. Very unclear, like the background color in a dream. 

It was a few days before Sun Guiqing's accident. At about 5 o'clock in the evening, he and Sun Guiqing came out of the police station pushing the cart and went home with their children.Sun Guiqing asked him with concern if he was ready to get married.He said that he didn't have any preparations, he just repainted the house, bought a set of furniture, electrical appliances and so on, and then slowly bought it later.They walked to the corner of the street while they were talking, and he inadvertently glanced into the distance, and couldn't help saying "Huh?"Sun Guiqing turned around and asked him, "What's the matter?" He took another look, the sky was so dark, and the shadows in the distance couldn't see clearly, he rubbed his eyes and said it was nothing, so he got into the car and chased Sun Guiqing side by side... ...

He really wasn't sure if the figure he saw was related to Sun Guiqing's death.  The more Lin Tiange thought about it, the more restless he became, "It's not him, but why is he staying there, and why did he turn his head and leave when he saw me?" Lin Tiange couldn't lie down, so he simply sat up, got off the ground, and walked back and forth in the room With...   Master Ge was on duty overnight, and played a few games of chess with others the next morning, and returned home near noon.As soon as he entered the house, Ye Qianshan appeared from nowhere and followed him in, holding a color TV in his arms. 

Master Ge said: "What do you mean by buying me? I'm not that kind of person." Ye Qianshan said, you love watching "Garrison Expendables" so much. Time to watch, idle is idle, let you watch it first, so as not to go to others to watch TV in cold weather...  Master Ge was a little moved. He couldn't stand how others looked up to him so much. He said, didn't you just want to know about the situation of that person that night? Woolen cloth.  Master Ge took out the pack of cigarettes Ye Qianshan left for him yesterday, took out one and lit it, and the scene of that night came to mind again——

At a quarter to eight on December 6, he asked a factory worker named Xiaofang to watch the door for him. He rode on his bicycle and turned onto the trail southeast of the factory. Young man, the light bulb is not on, he remembers that the light is on every night.Because there was a thin snowfall two days ago, he didn't dare to ride fast, so he looked at the young man slowly. The young man was wearing a peaked cap and was about 1.70 meters tall. It was dark at that time, and he could only see this young man. Outlines, eyebrows and eyes are naturally invisible.At the time, he was anxious that he might miss Garrison Expendables, so he didn't give much thought to what the boy was doing standing there in the cold.But after he rode over for a while, he heard some movement behind him, so he looked back and saw the young man followed him for a few steps and then turned back... He was a little timid, so he hurried forward, and even fell a little on the way Wrestling... 

When he came back from watching "Garrison's Dead Squad", he saw the young man standing there. He rode back to the factory as fast as he could. He told Xiao Fang that there was a suspicious person standing outside our south wall. , Could it be that he wanted to enter the factory to steal something?The two of them moved out the chairs and leaned against the wall to see if the young man was still there. It might be that they moved the chairs and leaned against the wall and made noises talking. When they exposed their heads, they saw the young man walking straight from the electric pole toward Go south through the open wilderness to the residential buildings with lights in the distance...

Later he found that the light bulb was not broken, but the light bulb was broken, and there were two pieces of porcelain missing on the enamel plate of the lampshade, which were new stubbles.He was still so angry that he scolded: "Who is so wicked, why did you smash the light bulb?"  Near noon, Lin Tiange compiled the list of 659 people who were rejected by Di Erchao into a whole volume, then checked it again, and went downstairs to deliver it to Director Lang.  Director Lang's office was full of people, all from the criminal police team of the city bureau and the criminal police team of the sub-bureau, most of them were his classmates in the police academy. dinner.Wang Changan, captain of the mobile unit of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau, said: "Lin Tiange, drinking your wedding wine is more difficult than solving the case. Why, the director said that the wedding date has been postponed again?"

Lin Tiange handed the test paper to the director and said, "I'm already dizzy enough. If I get married again, won't I be even more dizzy? Why do you have time to sit here and chat together?! " "Hi! Don't mention it, the brothers just came back from a waste of time..." The second elder Pan was about to continue talking when Director Lang looked at his watch and it was past 12 noon, so he interrupted him and said, "Go out!" There is a mutton restaurant opposite the free market of the police station. Lin Tiange, take it with you, I won’t accompany you if I have something to do! Tiange takes good care of everyone! If you have anything to say, we’ll talk at the dinner table!" 

Surrounded by several people, they came to the "unique style" mutton restaurant that the director said.  After the food and wine were served, Lin Tiange asked the second elder Pan to find out what the brothers were doing for nothing. The second elder, Pan, started talking after three rounds of drinking: "If you want to talk about this, I really blame me. A kid gave me a situation, saying that he saw Cui Ergang, who had just come out of the prison, be killed in Sun Guiqing on the day of the incident. Wandering around the scene. This kid lived in the same courtyard as Sun Guiqing’s family. I believed him, so I asked my brothers and me to take out Cui Ergang. After the interrogation, Cui Ergang refused to tell me whether he lived or died. Brothers are so angry. He only said that he was watching TV, and asked what TV festival he was watching. He said "A Boat in the Vast Ocean", a Taiwanese film, is particularly bitter. This is the truth. After it was over, he didn't say anything. Asked him if he had gone out, he said No, I asked him what he was doing at home, but he didn’t answer. In the end, he asked urgently, and the boy said that he and he did that at home by relying on his family. I asked him, what are you going to do after you’ve done that, He said he was still doing that thing, I was really anxious, and I said in my heart that you are fucking playing me, so I satirized him and said, have you been doing that thing all night long. He said, you How do you know, you know me by relying on my family...fuck, who does he think of me..."

A group of people booed and asked the second old Pan to drink.The second old Pan took a sip, and then he talked to Lin Tiange: "Later, he told my brothers that he was a monk who had been holding back for three years, how can he earn back in one night!"  "Did you check with that woman?" Lin Tiange listened very seriously.  "I found it, that woman was quite flirtatious, and when I asked her what she was doing, she pulled up her little leather skirt and said, 'That's what happened'!" She also said that Cui Ergang was the ship sailing in the vast ocean, moving forward indomitably. 

"Do you know why this kid said he saw Cui Ergang? This kid's wife and Cui Ergang's concubine are doing business in the market trade market. The stalls are next to each other, and they always fight. His concubine nodded, and you said that this man was probably not beaten by someone, come on, drink, everyone go and block him!" Chu Xiong said that there are too many clues coming up now, and all the clues have to be pulled next to each other. He is so tired that he doesn't even have the energy to "race the horse"! Li Shiqi: "Such eyebrows and beards are not a problem. I always feel that there are many disadvantages when fighting in a large army. There are always swarms of people to solve cases, and there is always a real thread. Comb your hair with the shaving grate, and scrape off all the lice, but the lice may have escaped early!" Li Shiqi and Wang Changan are partners, and they are the main investigators of the mobile team of the Criminal Investigation Department.  "Hey, you've been tossing around with a lot of bangs and buzzes. You say you have checked so many people. Today he says he saw it, and tomorrow you say you saw it. Whoever says it, you have to check the eight generations of his ancestors. If you see it, how can you figure it out!" Wang Changan sighed while stirring the soup with a spoon.  Lin Tiange drank several glasses of wine, his face turned red. Hearing what Wang Changan said, he couldn't help but also accept Wang Changan's words and said: "Oh, I also have a clue, but I'm not sure, what if If it wasn't for him, wouldn't I have wronged him..."  "Damn it, Lin Tiange, are you getting married and lacking a color TV? Want to get that 18-inch color TV plus a big sofa? You also want to mess with me a few times, right? From now on, no one is allowed to talk about the case, It’s a rare time to relax, so I suggest that we enjoy the wine in our glasses!” The second old Pan interrupted Lin Tiange’s words with a waving of his chubby hand, and finished it in one gulp... We still have work in the afternoon, Lin Tiange got up to pay the bill, Chu Xiong asked the waiter for some napkins and went to the toilet.While squatting in the toilet, he took out a small notebook from his arms, took out a pen and wrote something on it, and the second old Pan followed in, saw Chuxiong’s behavior, and said while urinating: “Damn, Chuxiong, you write something behind your back. Look at the heavenly account! If you find this place to write something, you won’t be afraid that the words will be smoked to death!” Chu Xiong seemed to have done something shameful, and said with a blushing face, "Fuck you, it's all about work. I'm afraid I'll forget it when I drink. Anyway, squatting is squatting." , It doesn’t take much to memorize two strokes!”  The City Bureau Detention Center is located in the southeast of the ancient city, at the junction of the suburbs. From a distance, the high walls, power grids, and surrounded by the detention center are isolated and deserted.There is a stinky ditch in front of the detention center. The trees on both sides of the ditch stand desolately and withered, and the bare branches are like the struggling arms of a group of people, reaching out to the sky in despair.  Guo and Li Shiqi, chiefs of the Criminal Investigation Section 1 of the Municipal Bureau, drove to the detention center of the Municipal Bureau. They got out of the car and entered the courtyard, and saw Shang Qiuyun escorting Qi Ke out. Shang Qiuyun's eyes were red as if he had just cried.  Shang Qiuyun and Qi Ke are classmates in the police academy, and Lin Tiange is a year ahead of them.There are many rumors about the love triangle between Shang Qiuyun, Lin Tiange, and Qi Ke. It has long been an open secret in the ancient city bureau.  "Qi Ke, aren't you 'Daxia'? Return to Fengshui?" Li Shiqi and Qi Ke greeted each other.  Qi Ke is 1.78 meters tall, and his gestures appear calm and sophisticated.He smiled and said, "We're here with the county bureau to do something in the city, so we can visit our old classmate!" The old classmate of course refers to Shang Qiuyun.Shang Qiuyun felt a little unnatural when he saw the elder Guo and Li Shiqi look at her and Qi Ke walking together with strange eyes.  The old man Guo tugged at Li Shiqi, suggesting that he wink and leave quickly, Li Shiqi said in a friendly voice: "Let's pick someone up and play around when we have time!" After speaking, they each walked away.  The elder Guo turned around and saw no one, so he leaned into Li Shiqi's ear and said, "Shang Qiuyun is going to marry Lin Tiange soon? Why are you still in such close contact with Qi Ke?" Li Shiqi said: "Hey, it's called 'marriage'. It's not a friendship. There's nothing to make a fuss about. But who knows, who of them is happy and who is worried..." Big old Guo shook his head disapprovingly and said, "I don't understand you young people!" After graduation, Shang Qiuyun was assigned to the pre-trial office to do back office work, due to the shortage of office space for the Municipal Bureau.Let the pre-trial office temporarily move to the detention center.  Zhou Hua, the internal staff of the detention center, saw the old man Guo and the others approaching, and enthusiastically let them in. "Here comes the mention, is Sun Guiqing's case over again?" Zhou Hua asked while making tea and water.  "This does not allow us to go through all the conditions of the detainees, and then dig deeper into the crime to see if we can find important clues from these prisoners... It has been 10 days since the incident, and I think it is suspended again!" Li Shiqi Flipping through a magazine, looking at it and talking.  "Hey, I've done my best, but I just don't go on the road. If this continues, I'll be exhausted!" Big Lao Guo sipped his tea and complained.  "Hey, Shiqi, you have so many good guys in the criminal investigation department, introduce one to my sister, my sister likes to find a policeman, no matter how good the other unit is!" Li Shiqi raised her face from the book Looking at Zhou Hua, he shook his head and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier, our young men are good, most of them are married, even if they are not married, they all have a partner!" Big Lao Guo snatched the book from Li Shiqi's hand and said: "Where is it, Chen Mo didn't do it!" Big Lao Guo is Chen Mo's section chief, and he has the best relationship with Chen Mo on weekdays.  Li Shiqi said: "That's right, I really forgot if you don't tell me, Chen Mo is the first graduate of the police academy, and he is quite capable at work."  "Then make an appointment later and let them meet!" Zhou Hua hastened to implement.  The big boss Guo said in a big way: "This matter is on me. If it is done, I will have a double wedding wine!"  Ye Qianshan quietly came to Six Porcelain Factory again alone.He bypassed the factory gate and came to the southeast wall of the factory.He saw the electric pole mentioned by Master Ge, where the broken light bulb had been reinstalled, and the electric pole was not far from the trail leading to where Sun Guiqing was killed.  On the field, the snow has melted in some places, and has not yet melted in some places. In the sun, it looks like a painted cat, lying dirty in sight.  He also thought of Aunt Zhang, the young man in the peaked cap mentioned by Yue Liang and Master Ge. Before the two cases, the young man had appeared on the way to and from get off work by the beaten policemen.Now he roughly grasps the situation: the criminal wears a peaked cap, is about 1.70 meters tall, and is about 25 years old.But how can he prove that the person who appeared at the two scenes is the same person? The scene of the Song Changzhong case left footprints with plum blossom patterns on the soles of his shoes, but nothing was left at the scene of Sun Guiqing's murder... When he thought of the footprints on the soles of his shoes, he had already stood under the electric pole. His eyes lit up, and he looked straight out of the unmelted snowy field. He saw faint traces like footprints. Could it be that the criminals Have the row of footprints left on December 6th been preserved by God?  After Shang Qiuyun sent Qi Ke away and returned to the office, she kept looking dazed, and asked Sister Zhang, who was working at the opposite desk, Qiuyun, if you were sick.Qiuyun said that I just felt cold all over.Qiu Yun sat there, her big eyes looking forward to wandering seemed to hide infinite sadness and sadness.  Sister Zhang touched her forehead and then Qiuyun's forehead and said, "Oh, Qiuyun, you have a fever, go back and rest!" Qiuyun persisted for more than an hour and felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, so he packed up his things and rode home.  Her home is in Building 8, Guangmingli Community, Xishan Road.There is only one gate in the community that opens to the west. The passage from the gate to the east is sandwiched between Buildings 5 ​​and 6. There is also a passage between Building 6 and the gate wall. Its southern end is Building 7. Building 8 is side by side with Building 7, and Building 9 is side by side with Building 6 to the north of Building 8.Shang Qiuyun likes to go straight to the east as soon as she enters the gate, to go south between Building 6 and Building 9, and to turn east at the end of Building 9... Her home is at Unit 101, the easternmost unit of Building 8.But Lin Tiange likes to walk into the passage between the gate wall and Building No. 6. Turning in front of Building No. 7, he goes straight to Building No. 8. He always tells Shang Qiuyun that it takes one less turn.  Shang Qiuyun opened the door with a key, said hello to her mother who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and went back to her room. The house was tidy and simple, the curtains and bed sheets were light peach pink, and the small desk was placed Looking at a photo of her and Lin Tiange in the snow. In the photo, Lin Tiange is wearing a police uniform with the police cap slightly tilted on his head. Lin Tiange is the kind of handsome boy who is innocent, straightforward, likable and considerate .She took the photo and looked at it carefully, and a song floated from the snow-covered campus far away... White snowflakes fly all over the sky Snow covered my campus  on that beautiful path Leave a string of footprints some deep some shallow some straight some bend Friends, think about it how should the road go On the land as white as snow How to leave/leave a string of footprints... The ten girls were singing and playing snowball fights in the flying snow. She chased Deng Mei with a big snowball, but she didn't expect that when Lin Tiange came out of the library, the big snowball hit him on the forehead... ... After they fell in love, Lin Tiange said that they must take a group photo in the snow. He also jokingly said that the big snowball back then was not the hydrangea you threw! For some reason, she thought of Qi Ke again... She took out the book from her schoolbag, and a photo fell from the book to the ground. It was her 18-year-old youthful face...  Ye Qianshan asked Shanglou Xiaohe to quietly extract the footprints in the snow. After comparison, it was confirmed that they were the same as Song Changzhong's on-site footprints, and they were also footprints on the soles of the plum blossom pattern.  He excitedly told Shi Yongzheng the news.Shi Yongzheng said: "The matter is very important, and we have to report to Director Gu, Director Fu Xiao Kun and Director Wei who are in charge of criminal investigation." Hearing that there was a major progress, several people gathered at the Zhongshan Police Station.Listen to Ye Qianshan's report in an office specially vacated by director Lang for the director.For many days, Wei Chengcheng has used this office as a temporary headquarters, and he is very determined not to withdraw troops until the case is solved! "In the beginning, many footprints were extracted from Song Changzhong's scene, one of which was a shoe sole with a plum blossom pattern. , this one was as worthless as all the footprints at the time, because it was impossible to determine which one should be left by criminals. Later, He Li, a policeman from the Hongshan Road Police Station, accidentally found it on the cement road near Song Changzhong's home during the investigation and visit. A shoe sole footprint with a plum blossom pattern printed in the cement was found. This footprint is the same as the footprint at the scene of the Song Changzhong case, and the shoe size is 41. Sun Guiqing did not leave any traces and physical evidence at the scene, but some people pointed out that it was necessary for Sun Guiqing to commute to work. On the way, a snow track was found in a snow field. After inspection, the same determination has been made. According to the information provided by the witnesses, the snow track was left by the criminals while squatting on December 6." "Before the two cases, someone saw a young man wearing a peaked cap, about 25 years old, and about 1.70-1.73 meters tall, appearing near the crime scene..." Ye Qianshan hesitated for a moment when he reported the snowy footprints on the road that Sun Guiqing had to pass through when the case happened. In a short time, he had an extremely intense ideological struggle.He was considering whether to bring out Master Ge, Aunt Zhang, Yue Liang and Pan. It is said that he should not hide anything when reporting to the leader, but he assured Master Ge that from a security point of view, the less people know about it, the better. The safer he is, he decides to keep his promise and it's better not to say anything.He only talked about the masses and witnesses in general. Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the chain reaction of the case, and he did not ask who the specific witnesses were.  Director Wei Cheng showed a gentle look on his face for the first time since the incident, he said: "My opinion is to pass all the 25-year-old school-age youths in the city through the sieve, so that although the workload is heavy, it will avoid mistakes; The second is to work around the shoe prints with the plum blossom pattern, from tracing the place of origin and sales of the shoes to finding out who bought them, so as to narrow the scope of suspicion and find out the real culprit..." Then he said: " In the recent period, have you all been a little tired? In the past two days, let everyone take turns to take a rest, to make a buffer for the next work, fatigue battle is not conducive to work..." As soon as Director Wei said this, the lights went out, and the inside and outside of the house were pitch black. There was a commotion in the corridor, Ye Qianshan opened the door to see what was going on, and saw Director Lang hurried over holding a candle! "This area is completely out of power! Light the candles for you!"  It's a new day.The sun shines on the streets and alleys of the ancient city with the sanctity and peace that shines on all souls.  On the small blackboard in the duty room of the Criminal Investigation Department, it was written: A plenary meeting will be held at 10 am.  Yin Xiaoning flipped the calendar to December 24, 1987, Thursday.He crumpled up the 23rd that he had torn off, and threw it into the wastebasket. He walked into the back room and said suddenly, "Hey, I really don't know what year it is in heaven and earth!" Qin Yizhen said: "The cock is still talking about words, what we live is neither heaven nor the world, but a life in hell, but we are standing at the gate of hell to catch evil ghosts, ghosts are so smart, just wait there Let us catch him, he hides in the dark like a mouse playing with a cat, seeing us foolishly running around, grandson is so happy!"  "It's not that we are too stupid, but the enemy is too cunning! Yizhen, which movie do you think this is from?" Xia Xiaoqi was leaning on the bedside railing to read a copy of "Gucheng Daily", and asked Qin Yizhen a sentence in the middle.  "It's "Tunnel Warfare". Hey, a few days ago, the newspaper said that "The Wilderness" is about to be screened in China. I don't know how it was shot?" "As soon as these two cases are brought up, look at our busy work, many movies have been missed. There are many good movies in this period of cinema, "Mirage", "Snowman in the Sun", Japan's "Katayama Detective on the Island", "Who is He" in Poland, "The Price of Adventure" in France, "The Immortal Man" in Romania, by the way, what else is "Filling the World with Love", just listen to this name, how good it is!" Xia Xiaoqi is not without regrets The land is like a treasure.  "The United States and the Soviet Union have officially signed a treaty on the complete destruction of medium-range missiles. Isn't this world full of love?" Qin Yizhen joked.  "Hey, really, Xiao Qi, what movie is in the newspaper today?" Yin Xiaoning stretched his neck to read the newspaper in Xia Xiaoqi's hand.  Xia Xiaoqi flipped through the pages of the newspaper, her eyes fell on the movie trailer in the middle of the newspaper, and she read aloud: "West German color feature film "Howl of the Black Wolf"".  "Why does this name sound scary?" Yin Xiaoning muttered.  "Any other movies?" Qin Yizhen asked.  "No, all the movie theaters in the ancient city will play this movie tonight! Well, it doesn't matter if it's scary or not, anyway, we don't have time to watch it... the meeting is about to start?" Xia Xiaoqi leaned up from the bed.  "Hey, you know, I heard that Song Changzhong woke up and provided the physical characteristics of the criminal. Are you going to talk about this in a meeting later?" Lu Weidongte mysteriously spread gossip to the big guys.  Chen Mo and Chu Xiong play chess.Chu Xiong won.Chen Mo said that this game was not counted, because Chu Xiong secretly played chess while he was listening to what was said inside.Chu Xiong said that you are so cunning, you are only allowed to win and others are not allowed to win, and others win by stealthily playing chess, I will not play with you anymore.  At this time, Li Shiqi and the big old Guo walked into the house one after another, and when they saw Chen Mo, they said, "Chen Mo, come here, let me tell you something." "What's the matter?" "Chen Mo, have you dated recently?" Li Shiqi asked.  Chen Mo's face turned red all of a sudden.Big old Guo said, "Chen Mo, I don't like you. You blush when you mention your partner or the name of a woman. You guys, you have the right to fight with them and show your enthusiasm to solve the case." Take them down, there is nothing to be afraid of!"  Chen Mo's face became redder when he was told, he concealed and said: "Fuck you, there is no time to find a partner, one case after another." The big boss Guo said disapprovingly: "The director has ordered that you can take turns to rest in the evenings for these two days. How about this, I will call Xiao Zhou, and if there is no special situation, we can meet tomorrow!" Yin Xiaoning came out and asked Big Brother Guo: "Section Chief, do you want to do something good for Chen Mo?" Yin Xiaoning lifted the calendar on the 24th to look at the red calendar on the 25th and said: "Tomorrow the 25th is a popular Christmas for foreigners. I heard that Christmas in foreign countries is just like the Spring Festival in China. Lively."  Chen Mo said: "Chu Xiong and I have been checking in Xilizhuang for the past two days, in case something happens and we can't make it back..." Big Lao Guo said: "If you can make it back, you have to make it, and if you can't make it back, you have to make it." Then he picked up the phone and called Zhou Hua. On the phone, he and Zhou Hua made an appointment at 8 o'clock in the evening on the 25th. Chen Mo meets Zhou Hua's younger sister.  Ye Qianshan came in following Shi Yongzheng one after the other, and everyone fell silent.Shi Yongzheng is forty-seven or eight years old, and usually doesn't talk much, but every time he analyzes the case, he gets to the point. In addition to admiration, everyone is a little afraid of him. Among the police officers, they asked Shi Yongzheng to replace the director of criminal investigation. Gu Wufu's voice became louder and louder. Shi Yongzheng said: "In the recent period, everyone has worked very hard. But hard work is not enough, there must be results. Everyone can't wait and hope, and must give full play to their intelligence and wisdom to actively solve the case. Criminal police Failure to solve the case means that the hen does not lay eggs. Do you think this is the case? Our case is now making some progress, let Qianshan tell everyone about the situation." Ye Qianshan spoke concisely, but he concealed all the witnesses. He didn't mention a single word at the meeting, only saying that Song Changzhong woke up once, and provided the general physical characteristics of the criminal. He wore a peaked cap, 1.70-1.73 in size, around 25 years old.In this way, the focus of everyone's investigation is within this height and age range. Song Changzhong's scene still has the footprints of the soles of the plum blossom pattern...Everyone will re-divide the work and carry out the work around these two aspects...Of course, you recently ran Which one, which one is still running, just shift the focus.  The meeting didn't last long, and as soon as the meeting adjourned, everyone went to investigate the case wherever they should.   Zhongshan Police Station.Director Lang asked Lin Tiange to sort out every person in the age group of 22-27 years old in the jurisdiction.Lin Tiange said that these files are almost done.  Lin Tiange checked the household registration information at the household registration office.He had been working hard all afternoon, his arm was a little sore, he looked up and looked outside, it was almost dusk, he stood up and walked around twice, exercising his body, suddenly felt that there was no news from Qiuyun for two days, so he went to Qiuyun The unit dialed the phone.Sister Zhang, who shared the office with Qiuyun, said that Qiuyun had been ill for the past two days and hadn't come to work. When he heard that Qiuyun was ill, he became anxious.On the duty list, he was on duty today, and he told the director that Qiuyun was sick, and I had to ask for leave to go back and see.The Huka check is almost finished, and I will finish it when I come back at night.The director said, go back, don't go back to the institute at night.Lin Tiange said that he was on duty at night, so I'd better come back.The director said you just go ahead, can I do it for you at night? Just as the director said this, the power went out again.Lin Tiange said why there has been a power outage for the past two days.  A power outage interrupts all normal work and life.People were discouraged the moment the power went out, and they had no choice but to put down what they were doing.At this time, there were buzzing and complaining voices in the corridor. People struck matches, lighters, and lit candles. Little flames jumped up in the dark corridor.  The director stood in the corridor and shouted: "Go home and have a look! Those who are on standby and on duty should come back before 10 o'clock in the evening!" Some people left one after another.The courtyard was chaotic, with the constant sound of carts being pushed and motorcycles being started intertwined in the courtyard at night.  Lin Tiange returned to his room on the second floor, walked to the table in the dark, turned on the emergency light, the faint blue light illuminated the whole room, he took off the down jacket from the hook on the wall and put it on, when the door was pushed open .  Tiange, do you have any wax here?" Lin Tiange turned his face and saw that An Qingtang, the policeman, came in wearing only a sweater without a coat, and asked, "Aren't you going home to take a look?" An Qingtang said: "Your sister-in-law took Yingzi back to her natal home. There is no one at home, what should I do? I will be on duty at night, so I won't run back. I want to write about today's filming. Didn't I just write about it?" After a few words, the power went off."  Lin Tiange said: "I may still have a few sticks of wax. Wait a minute, and I'll find them for you." Lin Tiange opened the drawer, took out two sticks of wax, and handed them to An Qingtang.An Qingtang said: "Your light is good, it can be charged, how much did you pay for it?"  "My partner, I don't know how much it is, I will go back and ask you later."  An Qingtang joked: "Go to the mother-in-law's house for dinner!" Lin Tiange smiled embarrassingly, took out the May Fourth pistol, pulled out the clip, looked at the bullets, put the clip back into the gun, put the bullet on it with a clatter, and was about to put it in his pocket, An Qingtang hurriedly said when he saw it : "Tiange, are you not afraid of fire?" When Lin Tiange asked An Qingtang, he said, "Normally, I don't carry a gun, and I don't hold a bullet when I carry a gun. But I have been like this for the past few days. The bullet is loaded, and I can shoot if there is a situation!" An Qingtang said: "You Won't you take out the insurance?"  Lin Tiange said: "I've heard that there is a way to put a safety on the bullet after it is loaded, but I don't know how to do it." An Qingtang put the candle into his trouser pocket: "Why are you so stupid? Look," An Qingtang took out his May Fourth pistol from the back of his waist with his right hand, and pulled the bolt with his left hand to load the bullet. "When the bolt is pulled, it will open without hitting the head." An Qingtang straightened his arms and aimed the muzzle at a thermos bottle in the corner, "Be careful not to point the muzzle at anyone. Look, hold the head with your thumb, gently pull the trigger with your index finger, and slowly press the handle with your thumb." Hit the head and close, so the gun is safe!" Lin Tiange said: "So that's how it is!" He raised the gun in his hand and was about to pull the trigger, hitting his head together.  An Qingtang hurriedly reminded: "Hey, hey, slow down, your thumb will hold you down! If you can't hold down, the gun will go off!" Lin Tiange said: "Hey, I still don't understand this. Oh, I understand. Once the head is closed, the trigger can't be pulled, so it won't go off!" An Qingtang said: "That's right, the bullet is still in the chamber. If something happens, when you draw the gun, you can use your thumb to hit the head, and raise your hand to shoot. It is safe and does not delay things at all. " Lin Tiange raised his hand and raised the gun, opened his thumb to hit the head, and said with a "snap" in his mouth, "Yes, this method is really good." Then the muzzle of the gun hit the ground, closed the head, and put the gun into the pocket of the down jacket inside.  "Brother An, if you don't want to go home, I have a box of Yi Noodles with Soup Chicken, you can take a few packs." Lin Tiange said to An Qingtang.  "No, I also have instant noodles. By the way, I'll take your boiled water away." An Qingtang went to pick up the thermos.  Lin Tiange put on his mask and cotton hat, and An Qingtang was delighted to see it: "Tiange, you are armed to the teeth." Lin Tiange smiled and said: "I have to put on makeup, and I'm also afraid of death, so I have to cover myself tightly." "I don't think criminals dare to attack you. When they saw you, they thought it was a visitor from space, RoboCop!" An Qingtang went back to his room after finishing speaking.   There is no moonlight.  Due to the power outage, the surroundings were hidden in a dark blind hole, and the candle flames danced helplessly in the distant night, as if they would be swallowed up by darkness at any time.  As soon as Lin Tiange turned the corner from the police station, he felt a sense of dread. He pedaled his bicycle tightly, accelerated the speed, and tried his best to break through the night road surrounded by boundless darkness... In the darkness, a pair of eyes followed his back...
