Chapter 21 Section 3

Cong Ming went back to his mother's residence first, and the second sister's family came. As soon as the second sister's son Dongdong saw Cong Ming, he rushed over affectionately as "uncle, uncle".The little boy is naturally fond of guns. He always lifts Cong Ming's clothes to see if the gun is there. Cong Ming pats his chubby head and says, "Uncle doesn't have a gun this time!" When the mother knew her son was back, she specially made tamales and chicken stewed mushrooms that the son liked to eat.  After the family had a lively meal around the table, Cong Ming said that I would go back to my place to clean up the house. 

Mother said: "Your second sister cleaned everything for you. If you are tired, go back to your own house and rest!" His house and his mother's house are two adjacent communities.It was used by his mother as a bridal chamber for his marriage.Thinking about it, his marriage was really hasty. He was already 28 years old when he was demobilized from the army. His mother was anxious to start a family for him, so she asked someone to introduce Tao Ping, a female worker in a knitting factory, to him. Going to college and reviewing her homework every night, Tao Ping angrily pulled all the light cords off.In those few years, she was doing business, dumping cars, and color TVs. Every day when she got home, she threw pots and bowls and said, "Who is still studying and studying like you now! The prices are so high. If you don't earn some money, you will open your mouth in the future." Drink the northwest wind..." 

He felt that Tao Ping was a vulgar woman, and he had separated from her since he got married, carried his own quilt to the sofa in the outhouse, and just ignored her.  She felt that she couldn't live with an unreasonable person like Cong Ming, so she filed for divorce after half a year of stalemate.  Cong Ming still can't forgive that woman's viciousness. After she divorced him, she went around spreading the word that he has no sexual ability! His house is a 6-story single-family house, which has been cleaned up by the second sister.He opened the window to let in the cold and fresh air from outside the room. At this moment, he saw a girl in red on the balcony of the opposite building opening the window. When he saw her, she was also looking at him. .With that failed marriage, he felt panic and fear of women.He quickly escaped from the window and fled into the house.He took off his police uniform, cleaned his pockets, and was about to soak his clothes before washing them, when he touched the pen.Oh, that was left to him by Lin Tiange, that happy, innocent, free-spirited young man, why did he just leave like that? Who ruined such a beautiful life so viciously and cruelly? He felt deeply in his heart pain, he is responsible for the crime! 

Whether because of his personal relationship with Lin Tiange or to prove his worth, he has decided to intervene in the investigation of Lin Tiange's murder.  He thought that the gang of little brothers in the Criminal Investigation Department were all assigned to them one after another when the anti-riot team was disbanded.He had been their shooting coach after all.Moreover, after daily training, they all gather in gangs in his dormitory to listen to his eloquent lectures on shooting theory, military topography, and the moon's waxing and waning...  At that time, they were all a group of happy bachelors... 

He folded his clothes and lay on the bed, turning back time and dragging him into a mixed dream...  The next morning, at a quarter to six, he woke up on time, a habit he had developed for many years. He put on the dark blue sportswear with the words "Public Security University" printed on it and ran into the early morning.Running along the cobblestone path in the community, you will find Wanpingshan Park.Most of the people doing morning exercises are the elderly, and the young people are becoming more and more lazy and sleepy.He thinks it's because they're young and still able to snooze.In fact, if you can't snooze, it means that you are in decline, and it means aging for life.But for Lin Tiange, his life was so resolutely terminated by evil.He will never be able to experience the maturity and thinking that different stages and states of life give people.Thinking of Lin Tiange, he took extra heavy steps. In the distance, he saw a girl in red dress like a fire jumping from far to near like the sun. She passed him by. The girl in the building, she looks so bright and beautiful in the winter morning mist! He couldn't help thinking of Shang Qiuyun and Lin Tiange. 

When Shang Qiuyun was assigned to the pre-trial division, he had been transferred from the anti-riot team to the cadre school.  After the He Zhanxun case, there were several robberies and theft cases in the ancient city, and he always expressed his thoughts and opinions regardless.He has a special mind and has an obsessive enthusiasm for each case.Some people say that he has mental problems.He also finds that he doesn't fit in with the current group of people.The criminal policeman was not what he imagined. It just so happened that the cadre school wanted a shooting instructor, and someone was eager to throw him out of the anti-riot team, but it was exactly what he wanted, and he was happy with both, so he went to the cadre school. 

The cadre school is next to the detention center.The two units are separated by a wall with a small door in the middle.Cong Ming often went to the detention center to find Liu Yuhuan, a typist, to help type materials. Liu Yuhuan and Shang Qiuyun were good friends. When they were free, they would sit and chat together, so they naturally became familiar with Shang Qiuyun.  One day when it was raining, he saw Shang Qiuyun hurriedly walking out of the gate in a raincoat. He said, "Hey, Xiaoshang, why are you in such heavy rain?" Brother, I'm fine!"  When he looked outside, he saw a man in a raincoat standing in the rain at the door, and when he took a closer look, it was Lin Tiange. 

As soon as Lin Tiange saw Cong Ming blushed, he turned away... One day later, Cong Ming said to Shang Qiuyun: "Someday you ask Lin Tiange to visit me, we two brothers have a good relationship!" Shang Qiuyun quickly said: "Yes, Lin Tiange keeps mentioning you to me! He also said that you two are doing well!"  "Well, it's okay, the date is still behind my back!" From now on, when Lin Tiange drives a motorcycle to find Shang Qiuyun again, he won't carry Cong Ming on his back.Sometimes, when Lin Tiange saw Shang Qiuyun, he stopped by Cong Ming to sit and chat for a while, until Cong Ming was admitted to the Public Security University...

He doesn't know how Shang Qiuyun is doing now? The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and it won't disperse... 
