Chapter 8 Chapter 7 The Lost House

All of a sudden, flames broke out in Fengchun mountain area. The city and district leaders put their main energy into fighting the fire, and relevant departments also dispatched one after another. The jurisdiction of the Spring City Sub-bureau is not limited to urban areas, but also includes vast rural areas, and all rural police stations are also under their jurisdiction. Therefore, when the wildfire suddenly broke out, they are naturally the most responsible. The task of the Public Security Bureau is not to put out the fire, but to investigate the scene of the fire, find out the cause of the fire, arrest the suspects, and punish them quickly, so as to serve as an example to others.

Therefore, Li Binliang had to devote a lot of energy to this work. This morning, he received a call from the municipal party committee office: Secretary Jiang of the municipal party committee was going to inspect the fire situation in a mountain town and asked him to bring a police car to accompany him. After Li Binliang put down the phone, he called Wei Zhenyuan, the deputy director of public security, and took two policemen from the public security brigade to the municipal party committee compound. The Municipal Party Committee Building is located in the east of Fengchun City, close to the suburbs. It is a very tall and magnificent building that has been newly built. It has 28 floors. Its shape and scale are very similar to the Provincial Party Committee Building.It is said that it was planned to be built with 32 floors, but because the Provincial Party Committee Building had 30 floors, it had to be two floors shorter than the Provincial Party Committee Building because it was worried that it would attract criticism if it exceeded the height of the Provincial Party Committee Building.It is said that when this building was built, there were various discussions. Some retired veteran cadres wrote to their superiors, saying that the building was too tall and too big, and that it was a waste of the hard-earned money of the people of Fengchun. Moreover, building the building in The outskirts of the city are not convenient for the masses to do business.The higher authorities have also asked about this, but the reasons of the municipal party committee are very good. First, it is beneficial to improve the image of Fengchun City, which is good for attracting investment, and second, more importantly, it is convenient for the masses.The municipal party committee will move all municipal agencies into the building except for a few such as the public security, procuratorate, and law. In this way, the masses will not have to run around when they want to do anything.As for the construction on the outskirts of the city, the municipal party committee's answer is to stimulate urban development. In the future, the development direction of Fengchun City will be the eastern suburbs. The construction of the municipal party committee and municipal government buildings here will have a driving effect on the eastward movement of the entire urban area.Later, the building was completed and put into use. Although these arguments were still heard from time to time, they were no longer effective.

The police car arrived at the compound of the Municipal Party Committee. Li Binliang and Wei Zhenyuan jumped out of the car. They happened to see Jiang Zhanlong, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, coming out of the building accompanied by several leaders and secretaries. Next to him was the Deputy Director of Criminal Investigation of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Ren Daxiang.When he saw Li Binliang, he greeted him enthusiastically, and led him to Secretary Jiang, who shook hands with him: "Okay, get in the car... By the way, Li Binliang, come with me in the car and escort me !"

Li Binliang hesitated for a moment, looked at Wei Zhenyuan, and had no choice but to follow Secretary Jiang to his car. Wei Zhenyuan lifted his finger up and smiled teasingly at him. After Li Binliang got into the car, he found that Ren Daxiang also got in, and sat side by side with him in the back row.Secretary Jiang, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned his head and glanced at the two of them: "Heh, the two police chiefs escorted me. I feel so safe today. Drive!" The driver who had already been prepared started the car. Li Binliang looked back and saw a motorcade following behind, about a dozen of them, heading out of the city.

Sitting in Secretary Jiang's car, Li Binliang was very restrained.He is naturally reluctant to approach the leader.Until I became the deputy director, because of the work relationship, I had to deal with the superiors from time to time, and it was only limited to work.When he was in Jiangquan, Liu Xinfeng, secretary of the municipal party committee, was so kind to him, and he never got particularly close to him.As a result, the secretary was implicated in the college entrance examination fraud case he detected the year before last and stepped down. "Li Binliang, how are you doing?"

Secretary Jiang spoke to Li Binliang, but he didn't specify what he was referring to. Li Binliang couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only answer tentatively. "Ah, it's okay, I'm familiarizing myself with the situation." "Really? However, you have a good working method and know how to use news and public opinion to create momentum for yourself. By the way, do you know the reporter from "Huzhou Evening News"?" It's here, I expected it to happen, but I didn't expect Secretary Jiang to mention it at this time. Li Binliang: "I don't know. Secretary Jiang, I have never met this reporter, and I don't know him..."

"Okay, don't explain, He Shizhong has already told me. In fact, it doesn't matter if you know him. I read that article. It is really well written. It also helped me understand your past. I hope you will continue to work hard. , Let’s make new achievements in Fengchun... By the way, how is the investigation of that case... Ah, I have to apologize to you, these days, there are too many things, I didn’t take time to ask about your affairs, I’m sorry!" "No, Secretary Jiang, I should take the initiative to report to you." "That's not necessary. Your immediate boss is the Municipal Public Security Bureau. By the way, Ren Daxiang, Li Binliang is an excellent public security chief. He was specially transferred by your superiors. You must fully support Comrade Li Binliang's work!"

Ren Daxiang: "That is, that is, I still support Director Li's work. Director Li, you say yes!" Li Binliang: "Yes, Director Ren is very supportive of my work." "That's good. Do you know why I didn't ask you about it? It's because he is your immediate boss. With him around, I feel relieved." Li Binliang answered, but there was a question mark in his heart: what does Secretary Jiang mean?There must be an intention to strengthen the prestige of Deputy Director Ren. You must obey him and understand who is older and who is younger. However, he is the deputy director after all. Does Secretary Jiang mean something else by saying that? Could it be that Deputy Director Ren really wants to be Is the director no longer available?

"Li Binliang, I just have time now, let's chat. I heard that Geng Fengchen who escaped wrote a letter to Mr. Yuan. You haven't found him yet?" Li Binliang: "Yes. We have taken many measures, but we have never found Geng Fengchen..." Li Binliang realized that Secretary Jiang wanted to listen to the report, so he reported the whole process of the matter, especially some of the measures he had taken. Secretary Jiang did not speak immediately after listening, and said after a moment of pondering: "Well, it sounds like your measures It’s still powerful. However, I don’t need to say anything about Mr. Yuan’s identity and influence. You all know it, so you must absolutely guarantee his personal safety, understand? Li Binliang, if he has any troubles, I will ask you for it!”

"this is." Listening to Secretary Jiang's words, Li Binliang felt a lot of pressure and felt a little bit aggrieved at the same time, but there was nothing he could do.Even though Geng Fengchen's case happened before I came here, after all, you are the chief of the Public Security Bureau now! Ren Daxiang seemed to have guessed what Li Binliang was thinking, and took the words. "Secretary Jiang, the burden cannot be entirely placed on Director Li. The Municipal Public Security Bureau is also responsible, and I am also responsible." "That's true. Therefore, you must cooperate closely and catch Geng Fengchen as soon as possible. By the way, Li Binliang, I know you have two tricks, but Ren Daxiang is the old director of the bureau. He has worked in criminal investigation all his life and is your superior. So, you must Rely on him more, ask for instructions and report frequently!"

What does this mean? Although he was puzzled in his heart, he still answered: "Ah... yes." Secretary Jiang: "However, I have to emphasize another aspect. Li Binliang, after all, you are the head of the bureau, and you can't put all your energy on your own case..." "Secretary Jiang, this is not my case, I mean, it's not my personal case..." "I know, don't explain, I'm just saying that. I understand your feelings, although this case is very complicated, involving all aspects, and it happened long before you came, but, on the one hand, you are now Chuncheng The Chief of the Public Security Bureau is in charge of this case. On the other hand, you are also a party involved, yes, you are still the victim. As the Chief of Public Security Bureau, whoever is involved in this matter will be troubled. So I understand you very well. However, I want to remind you that You can’t ignore the other because of this case and ignore the overall work. You see, this wildfire is very important now. The provincial party committee and the provincial government and the State Forestry Department have been alarmed and require us to take effective measures to control it and put it out quickly. If we With good prevention and effective measures, can it be burned like this?" Hearing this, Li Binliang felt very uncomfortable: The wildfire in Fengchun has not happened for a year or two, and the reasons are very complicated. Can the responsibility be shifted to me, a new grassroots police chief?Who doesn't know, because the previous provincial party committee and the provincial government put forward the slogan of rebuilding Huzhou, as a result, there was a wave of land reclamation.It is said that it is to reclaim the five wastelands, but in fact it cannot hold back as soon as it is opened. The mountains and forests that have been cut down for many years have been developed into land, and the powerful and powerful have taken the lead and become landlords big and small. Some farmers see it. Not to be outdone, he entrusted people to find connections or cultivated land privately, and opened fields to the foot of the mountains and forests. Every spring, he lit the straw left in the fields to burn wasteland. When the wind blew, the fire went up the mountains and ignited the forests.For this reason, Fengchun has been criticized by his superiors every year. Last year, a deputy mayor in charge was dismissed. Why, should the responsibility be shifted to me now?To be honest, although I regard the detection of this case as an important task, the spring prevention work has not been left behind, and I have made arrangements soon after I took office... The leaders are all smart people, Secretary Jiang obviously heard Li Binliang's aspirations. "Li Binliang, what are you thinking? Are you not convinced? There is no way, you are the chief of the Public Security Bureau in Chuncheng District, and I can only talk to you. Yes, Ren Daxiang also beat me when he was sitting in your position. K. Ren Daxiang, right?" Ren Daxiang hastily said, "Yes, Director Li, you don't know that, in the past few years, because of the wildfires, Secretary Jiang has overwhelmed me. Don't worry too much, Secretary Jiang is just talking about things." Secretary Jiang: "Yes, I am like this. You will get used to it in the future if you say anything in person. Li Binliang, look outside, can I not get angry?" Li Binliang looked out, only to realize that the car had already driven out of the urban area and entered the mountainous area. On both sides of the road, hilltops that had been burned to ashes came into view one after another, which was shocking.Looking further ahead, the originally bright and sunny sky turned gray, all formed by the soot from the wildfires.Although the car was tightly sealed, there was still an obvious burnt smell floating in and entering the nostrils. It seems that this mountain fire really needs to be taken seriously. If it burns like this, the loss will be huge, but how can it be controlled? Li Binliang's heart also darkened and sank like the sky ahead. The three of them stopped talking, and the more the convoy drove forward, the thicker the smoke became, gradually being shrouded in smoke, and everyone's mood darkened. The township leaders along the way must have known the news. Every time the convoy arrived in a township, there were party committee and government leaders waiting. How much manpower was dispatched and how to participate in the fire fighting work, etc., and all of them were covered in dust and looked hardworking.Most of the chiefs of the police stations also participated in the reception report and met with Li Binliang. They all looked embarrassed, mostly wearing training uniforms, camouflage uniforms, etc., and were covered in dirt.Although they really worked hard, Secretary Jiang still criticized and reprimanded them bluntly, even claiming to punish those who did not work hard, which frightened the township leaders so much that they did not dare to speak out. Li Binliang and Wei Zhenyuan talked with the directors of the police station individually, and saw that they were indeed working hard and did a lot of work, so they only made some demands and did not criticize them. The further you go into the mountains, the thicker the fireworks, and the worse everyone's mood.It gives people the impression that the entire Fengchun mountain area is basically covered, and it is no wonder that Secretary Jiang is anxious and angry.Although he didn't say anything in the car, his complexion became more and more iron-blue, and he didn't know if it was smoke or anger. However, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. First, the smog gradually faded, became weaker, and gradually disappeared.As the car moved forward, there was no fireworks to be seen, the sky was clear, the sun came out, the mountains also showed the turquoise of early spring, and the birds sang and flew past the car window from time to time. Seeing such a scene, Secretary Jiang's face brightened. "Well, look, this is also a mountain area, why is there no fire at all?" Ren Daxiang hurriedly echoed: "Yes, the forest is denser here, why is there no fire at all? It seems that the work is still done by people!" "Go, go to the township government." After a while, the convoy drove onto a fork in the road, and after a while, the Lushan Township Party Committee and the government compound appeared in front of us. Lushan Township is more than 200 miles away from the urban area. It is the town farthest from the urban area, has the largest mountain area, and is also the most economically backward town.There was not a single building in the entire township, and the party committee and government compound were nothing more than a row of brick buildings. After the convoy stopped, a group of leaders walked directly to the courtyard. Probably because no report was received, no leader came out to greet them.At this time, Wei Zhenyuan quietly walked to Li Binliang's side and gave him a hand. "Director Li, don't follow closely, let's go to the police station!" This…… "Let's go. If you want to know the situation, you can also go to the police station." also good. Li Binliang followed Wei Zhenyuan and quietly left the team and walked aside. The police station and the party committee and government are in the same building, but it is at the far west end, surrounded by a sky-blue fence, and has relative independence.Li Binliang and Wei Zhenyuan walked into the yard and saw that the yard was very tidy and the flower beds had been repaired. Some flowers had sprouted. The sign of the police station was also decorated above the door according to the unified requirements of the Ministry of Public Security.In short, it looks very pleasing to the eye, like a police station. Li Binliang followed Wei Zhenyuan into the door of the police station. The first thing he saw was a reception hall. The household registration room was facing the door. A young female household registration officer was concentrating on receiving several people and handling household registration procedures for them, so Without paying attention to Li Binliang and Wei Zhenyuan, Wei Zhenyuan didn't make a sound, pulled Li Binliang, walked to the next office, opened the door and poked his head in. The office was empty and there was no one. Li Binliang saw that there was another room inside. The sign of the director's office was hung on the door. The door was tightly closed, and there was a curtain hanging on the door glass. Wei Zhenyuan was about to pull Li Binliang inside, when the female policeman from the household registration office shouted at their backs: "Hey, comrade, tell me what you have to do." Wei Zhenyuan had no choice but to stop, and turned around with Li Binliang.The policewoman saw Wei Zhenyuan clearly, and showed a surprised and embarrassed expression: "Director Wei, it's you..." Neither Li Binliang nor Wei Zhenyuan was wearing police uniforms, so it's no wonder that the household registration officers couldn't recognize them from their backs. Wei Zhenyuan: "Xiao Yao, where's Lao Lu?" Xiao Yao: "This...is in his office!" Wei Zhenyuan: "Ah, then go ahead, we're going in!" Xiao Yao: "But, don't..." Before Xiaoyao finished speaking, Wei Zhenyuan dragged Li Binliang into the office and walked towards the door of the director's office. Wei Zhenyuan pushed the door, but it didn't open, the door was locked inside. What are you doing locking the door in broad daylight? As if to answer Li Binliang's question, a burst of sweet snoring came from inside. Someone is sleeping in it. Wei Zhenyuan: "This old Lu is too outrageous!" Wei Zhenyuan wanted to knock on the door, but was stopped by Li Binliang, who looked in through the gap beside the curtain. Li Binliang first felt that the room was very dark, and the windows were covered with curtains. Then, he saw the desk, and then looked inside. There was a bed next to the wall. On the bed, a person was sleeping with his head covered. Needless to say, it must be the director... no, it's Lu Peng. Lu Peng was the original deputy director of criminal investigation. Because he made a serious mistake, he was dismissed from the position of deputy director and sent here to be the director.However, he didn't learn the lesson and didn't know how to stand up. Instead, when fire prevention was so critical, he slept in the office in broad daylight. Li Binliang was really angry. Wei Zhenyuan was also very embarrassed, and knocked on the door vigorously: "Old Lu, Lu Peng, slap Lu, you fucking wake up, Director Li is here, Lao Lu..." After a while, Lu Peng's snoring stopped, and after a while, the sound of dragging footsteps came towards the door, and the door opened. When Lu Peng appeared at the door, Li Binliang suddenly felt a hill appear in front of him. His body almost covered the door. The word tall and burly is a perfect description.It looked like he was about forty-six or seventeen years old, with sleepy eyes, red hair on the whites of his eyes, pimples on his face, and he was wearing a vest with one leg rolled up... This is the director of the Lushan Police Station? This is the former Deputy Director of Criminal Investigation? No wonder he was dismissed, just with his appearance and style, not to mention the director and deputy director, he is not even worthy of a policeman.If Secretary Jiang brought someone over and met him like this, what impression would he have?At that time, he was not the only one who was harmed, but also the entire police station, the entire police force in Fengchun, and even himself, the chief of the police station. Li Binliang looked at Lu Peng with a sullen face, feeling very strange.Yes, this was the first time I saw him. After I took office, he never met me once. I informed the director of the rural police station to attend the meeting after I took office, but he didn't go either. this person…… Lu Peng didn't seem to wake up from his sleep, he looked blankly at Wei Zhenyuan, then at Li Binliang, and after a while he muttered: "Li...Director Li, you..." Wei Zhenyuan: "Okay, okay, don't say anything. Look at you, what you look like, put on your clothes quickly!" Wei Zhenyuan closed the door of the director's office, pulled Li Binliang back to the police office, and sat in a chair to wait.Probably to ridicule Lu Peng, Wei Zhenyuan said to Li Binliang: "Ju Li, don't look at him like this. In fact, he is quite serious about his work. It must be... ah, maybe something happened last night and he stayed up all night. !" Yeah?I hope it's not playing mahjong. Li Binliang thought, Lu Peng must have broken the jar.That's right, it's no wonder that a dignified deputy director has no emotions when he comes to the most remote mountainous area to become the director of the police station. After a while, Lu Peng came out of the director's office wearing a camouflage uniform, with a pair of big hands hanging on his sides, and looked at Li Binliang with embarrassment. Wei Zhenyuan: "Old Lu, what can I say about you? Do you have a job like this? Sleeping in the office during the day? Was there a case last night?" "No...ah, yes, there is a public security case, mediation!" Li Binliang could hear that Lu Peng was telling lies, and Wei Zhenyuan was leading him to tell lies in order to deal with himself. Li Binliang didn't want to talk nonsense, so he went straight to Lu Peng. "Lu...Director Lu, do you know what season it is?" When Li Binliang called Lu Peng, he felt very awkward. You know, he has been the deputy director of criminal investigation for several years, and he must have gotten used to the title of "Lu Bureau, Lu Director". Comfortable.However, if you call him Lu Ju now, it would be an insult to him, so I had no choice but to call him that. Lu Peng: "I know..." Lu Peng spoke in a low voice, and it seemed that he was struggling to pronounce the words. It gave the impression that he was dissatisfied with you and harbored resistance. Li Binliang: "Well, tell me, what season is it now?" "Spring...ah, Chunfang." Li Binliang: "Then what should our police station do?" "This... assists the party committee and the government to do a good job in fire prevention. However, there are no wildfires in our township." Although the words did not go further, the meaning was obvious: because there was no wildfire in Lushan, it was only natural for him to sleep. Li Binliang really wanted to criticize him severely, but firstly, he saw that he was quite old, and secondly, he thought that he had been a deputy director after all, and had suffered serious setbacks, so he suppressed his tone and softened his tone. "Director Lu, it's too late for the wildfire to catch on. Can you guarantee that you won't catch the wildfire in Lushan throughout the spring?" "This... I will definitely try my best to do it." These words are all-encompassing, listen to the tone, as if he is the head of the township, he can decide whether or not there is a fire in Lushan. For such a person, it cannot be resolved in one or two conversations.Li Binliang thought for a while, and he could only tell him to be more vigilant, strengthen precautions, and ensure that there would be no major fires. He also implicitly asked him to learn a lesson, not to break the pot, cheer up, and do a good job. Lu Peng hummed twice as an answer. Li Binliang didn't want to say anything, got up and walked out, Wei Zhenyuan nodded to Lu Peng, and followed behind Li Binliang. Lu Peng sent them out of the police station and watched them walk towards the township government yard. He neither sent them off nor greeted them, let alone followed them or stayed for a meal. It's just a piece of wood. Li Binliang couldn't help but said to Wei Zhenyuan: "What's the matter with this man?" "This...he looks like this, or else..." "Can this look work? We are the Public Security Bureau and the police. We have a lot of burdens. If you are as confused as he is, what if something happens?" "This...not so much, he's okay at work, he's serious!" Wei Zhenyuan didn't have enough confidence to speak.Li Binliang felt that they had worked in the same team for many years, and they might have a lot of affection, so he supported him, but he didn't have a face! No, this kind of work attitude is definitely not acceptable, and must be resolved. "Wei Bureau, has Lu Peng always been like this? Was it also like this when he was the deputy director?" "Basically, he has this personality. He doesn't have much to say, but his work is okay." "The problem is not whether you have words, but your work attitude. The past may not represent the present. You have seen it. What is it like? Yes, you are in charge of law and order, and you are his immediate boss. responsibility." "I know, I'll talk to him someday." It was not until Sun Zaixi that Secretary Jiang proposed to go back to the city.On the way back, Li Binliang's cell phone rang, and when he picked it up, it turned out to be Han Feng. "Director Li, I'm Han Feng, don't you want to see him? He's here, see you?" Li Binliang didn't come back to his senses for a moment: "Director Han, who are you talking about?" "It's... Director Li, you forgot, the reporter who wrote that article, the article in "Huzhou Evening News"..." "Ah, it's him, yes, his name is Jiangnan...Okay, see you, I will definitely see you, and you must make arrangements for me!" "Then, when?" "Just tonight!" "Okay, where do we meet?" "Wait for my call!" "It's a deal!" In the evening, Li Binliang returned to the office, took a brief wash, then asked Xu Jinan about the arrest of Geng Fengchen, and finally sat down on the office chair, thinking about meeting the reporter Jiang Nan. Huang Miao walked in at the right time: "Director Li, you're back, you're exhausted!" "Ah, it's okay. People who fight fires on the mountain are tired. Sit down, what's the matter?" "No, I'm just worried about your body. Although it's healed, but the time is so short, you still have to be careful. By the way, there is no sequelae at all? I have stayed in the hospital and know that your recovery period is very long. For quite a period of time, dizziness and headache symptoms will also occur frequently.” She was right, even though a month or so had passed, Li Binliang suffered from dizziness once or twice a day, but he survived them all. "Ah, sometimes it's a little bit, it's not serious. It's okay." Li Bin's conscience moved, "By the way, Director Huang, I just have something to discuss with you!" Huang Miao was surprised: "Really, what's the matter? Tell me!" Huang Miao was sitting opposite Li Binliang, staring at him with big beautiful eyes, which made him unpredictable and extremely lethal.Li Binliang greeted him, feeling a little dizzy, and hurriedly lowered his eyes. This woman is really amazing. "Director Li, what's the matter, tell me. By the way, it's not a personal matter, is it?" "No, no, that's it. Tonight, I have a date." "Dating?" Huang Miao smiled teasingly, "What is this if it's not a private matter? I can't get involved in this kind of thing..." "Director Huang, don't be joking. It's really not a private matter. It's like this. Do you remember the article in the "Huzhou Evening News"? I've always wanted to talk to the reporter who wrote this article. Now that he has come to Fengchun, tell me It was agreed to meet at night. Didn’t you remind me to be careful with reporters in the future? I was worried that after the meeting, if he had something to say, I would discuss it with you. Yes, your political department is in charge of propaganda, so this It's your job too." "It's like this..." Huang Miao's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he immediately cheered up again: "Yes, you did the right thing, haven't you heard of it—fire prevention, theft and reporters, you must be careful with them. Deal with them." They, I still have a way." "That's great, tell me, what should I pay attention to?" "It's...it's hard to say. First, I don't know what kind of person he is, and second, I don't know what he asked... By the way, do you think this is good? If you don't object, I will go with you to meet him and have a look. What kind of person is he, and what is his purpose for writing that article?" It's a way. It's normal for the director of the political department to accompany the reporter.If Huang Miao was by his side, he would have to be scruples about writing scribbles, and he had witnesses for what he was talking about and what he was talking about. "Well, let's go together. By the way, I haven't eaten yet..." Huang Miao: "It's easy to handle. Let's book a restaurant that is quieter and with a better environment. Wouldn't it be nice to invite him over to have a meal and talk at the same time? Yes, I didn't eat either. Let's go together eat." is a way.Li Binliang changed into clean plain clothes and went out with Huang Miao. Soon, they were sitting in a private room on the second floor of a western restaurant. This was Huang Miao's proposal. She said that this kind of place has a good atmosphere and is suitable for conversations. Moreover, in addition to the staple food and non-staple food, the western restaurant also has cold drinks, and chatting while drinking is also in line with the status of reporters.Li Binliang agreed with Huang Miao's suggestion, so he called Han Feng and agreed to go to a western restaurant called "Ever". In this kind of place, except for the time when Li Binliang accompanied her in on her daughter's birthday, there is no such memory anymore.Now, as Huang Miao walked into this western restaurant, he noticed that the environment and atmosphere are very warm, the decoration of the hall and each private room is full of exotic flavors, the lights are dim, and the soft piano music is playing, which makes people feel infinite daydreaming.This situation, and the mountainous area full of wildfire smoke are really two worlds.Li Binliang also noticed that the people who came and went were all boys and girls, the oldest was only thirty years old, and they were all in pairs. Only then did he realize that this was a place where lovers gather, and he felt a little uneasy for a moment: he and Huang Miao is sitting here, what will people think if they are seen by people they know? However, Huang Miao didn't think about it at all. She said a few words to the reception lady, and she was led to the private room on the second floor. The service lady dimmed the lights, lit a candle, closed the curtains tightly, and left the recipe Let them take it easy, they walked out, and gently closed the door, so the room became a world for two people. Li Binliang felt a little regretful, why did he come to such a place? ! The only way is for Han Feng and the reporter named Jiangnan to come quickly to break the embarrassing atmosphere. Li Binhao opened the curtains as if unintentionally. In this way, the room became brighter, and everything outside the window was reflected in the window and eyes, and the embarrassing atmosphere was relieved a little. Huang Miao looked at the opened curtain, her eyes seemed to want to close it again, but she didn't move after thinking about it. Li Binliang hung up the phone to Han Feng, and Han Feng promised to hurry up, he was relieved. Huang Miao pushed the recipe to Li Binliang: "Director Li, take a look, what do you want to eat?" When Li Binliang took the recipe, he looked up at Huang Miao, and found that her beautiful big eyes were staring at him in the dim light. His heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his eyes hastily. Li Binliang couldn't understand the recipe, so he said to Huang Miao: "I don't understand these things, just look at them, and order what you think is suitable!" "So, you listened to my arrangement tonight!" Li Bin's conscience moved again, and another meaning was clearly revealed in his words. This…… Why haven't Han Feng and that reporter come yet? Huang Miao ordered a few things, and then told the waiter: "Give us two cups of cold drinks first, and wait for the rest to come later." After the waiter agreed, he quickly brought up two cups of milky cold drinks with straws in them. Li Binliang and Huang Miao sipped cold drinks slowly while waiting for Han Feng and Jiangnan, but they were still missing, Li Binliang was secretly worried. However, Huang Miao didn't feel this way at all. While sipping a cold drink slowly, she glanced at Li Binliang, as if intentionally or unintentionally talking about the topic she wanted to talk about. "Li Ju, forgive me for taking the liberty. To be honest, since the day you were transferred to Fengchun, there has been a mystery in my heart. Now, there are only two of us. Can you solve it for me?" Li Binliang: "Oh... what mystery?" "you." "I... what mystery am I?" "You are a mystery!" Huang Miao smiled slightly, "There is something special about you that I have never felt in other people before you came here." "Really? What, why don't I know?" "Of course you don't know it yourself, but I can feel it, but I can't tell what it is. Anyway, you are different from ordinary people, different from ordinary policemen, and also different from ordinary public security chiefs." Li Binliang didn't say anything, because he had heard similar words before.This point, I also know that I am different from some people, and from the general public security chief, otherwise, how could I handle those big cases and turn myself into what I am now! "Director Li, don't worry too much. I'm not asking you to tell me everything. To be honest, if a man is like plain boiled water, if people can see the bottom line at a glance, then it's meaningless. I like you This way, it allows me to savor and ponder you like a riddle, I hope one day, I can understand you thoroughly..." What's the meaning…… Li Binliang felt hot all over her body. Huang Miao's words, her words and tone of voice always had a feeling that they meant something beyond words, and they had the effect of stimulating the secrets of the soul and even stimulating the physiology. Huang Miao: "Today, I want to ask about your personal affairs. After observing for so many days, I think you are a rare and excellent man in all aspects. But why did your wife divorce you? You have been divorced for so many years. Why haven't you looked for it again? Could it be that you haven't met your sweetheart, and you haven't been tempted by any woman? " Here it is again, but there is still ambiguity, it seems to be normal caring and inquiring, and it seems to have other meanings.Li Binliang really wanted to be like some people, blurting out: "I've been tempted, I'm tempted now..." If she said that, what would happen to her? Li Binliang felt a little hot.He didn't say this kind of thing. He has always attached great importance to the relationship between men and women, and he is unwilling to make such a joke that is not hurtful, but it may cause some consequences. Therefore, he just smiled wryly and said ambiguously: "Probably so!" "Probably, what do you mean? Is your heart too high? Have you ever met someone who impresses you? It's been a long time, never?" Huang Miao stared at Li Binliang with dark eyes, forcing him to answer. Li Binliang couldn't answer. Because Huang Miao talked about his heartache, the most sensitive part of his heart. how could be?Of course, I have met my sweetheart before, and not just one, but two. Later, these two people merged into one, how could I meet her?We have been in love with each other, we have promised each other with our bodies... In an instant, Li Binliang returned to that night, that night of ecstasy, that night that will never be forgotten.At that time, he thought it was forever and it was just the beginning, but when he woke up from the dream, he found that the beginning was also the end.That morning, she disappeared like a dream, drifted away like a ray of wind, and never saw her again. She only left him a few words, telling him not to look for her... After hearing what she said, he really didn't look for her again. Afterwards, he inquired about her, but she had disappeared. Suddenly, it seems like years ago, when in reality, it wasn't that long ago. Thinking of this, Li Binliang's body and mind suddenly cooled down, and Huang Miao's sense of temptation disappeared.Yes, once she appears in my heart, what other woman can make me fall in love? Li Binliang turned his gaze out of the window. Huang Miao looked at Li Binliang's face, stopped asking, and turned his face out of the window. Outside the window, it was already dusk, but there seemed to be more pedestrians on the street. However, most of the people walking around were young people, and sometimes couples of lovers could be seen walking by, and some people looked in the window while walking, The windows are large and bright, and you can probably see them from the outside... "Hey, Director Li, look..." Huang Miao suddenly pointed outwards and cried out. Li Binliang thought that Han Feng and Jiang Nan were coming, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Huang Miao: "A woman has been looking through our window over there for a while..." "Really? Who..." "Look, it's right behind you, behind that tree!" Li Binliang slowly turned his face away and looked in the direction Huang Miao pointed, but he didn't see anything. Huang Miao: "She dodged. Just when you turned around, you dodged!" Li Binliang thought that Huang Miao was joking, so he smiled generously and said nothing. Huang Miao: "Ju Li, I'm not joking, it's true, there is a woman standing over there, looking into our window, I didn't take it seriously at first, but seeing her keep looking this way, I realized I think it's looking at us... Yes, although I can't see it very clearly, I feel that my figure and appearance are good. Director Li, isn't it your lover?" 李斌良：“黄主任，你别瞎说了，我刚来奉春几天啊，哪有什么情人哪！” 黄淼：“那她是谁？” 李斌良：“我怎么知道？或许，人家是在那儿等什么人，你以为是看我们了！” “不可能，我观察好一会儿了，她肯定是看我们，不，是看你的。要不，咱们出去找一找，她也许没走远！” “没必要，咱们还得跟人会面呢，怎么能走呢……哎，怎么回事，他们还不来呀……” 话音还未落，门外响起脚步声，服务员打开门：“你们的客人到了！” 韩峰走进来，把手伸向李斌良。 “李局长，真对不起，实在对不起……黄主任，您也来了！” 黄淼：“怎么，我不该来吗？别忘了，我是政治处主任，你是不是赶我走啊，小心下次再采访什么我不支持你。” “哎，黄主任，我可不是这个意思。不过，李局长，黄主任，真的对不起……” 黄淼：“别道歉了，快坐下，哎，那位《湖州晚报》的记者呢？” 韩峰：“我说的就是这个，她走到半路上，突然接到报社紧急通知，有个非常紧急的事件，要她马上去采访，所以，她就来不了啦！” This…… “李局长，她委托我向您道歉，说实在是身不由己。不过她说了，过些日子，她一定再来奉春，专门来拜访您。” 韩峰又说了歉意的话，然后说自己也有事，也离去了。只剩下李斌良和黄淼留在房间里，四目相对。 等了一晚上，居然是这种结果。 没有办法，李斌良和黄淼只好把点的东西都叫上来，匆匆吃罢结账。结账时，黄淼说什么也不让李斌良掏钱，李斌良撕扯不过，只好随她。 他注意到，黄淼结账时，钱夹里现出厚厚的一沓百元人民币。 李斌良和黄淼并肩行走在一条稍显僻静的街道上。 初春的夜晚，温度适宜，不冷不热，柔柔的晚风伴和着远处隐约的情歌，吹拂着衣襟，吹拂着肢体，也吹拂着李斌良的心。自来到奉春之后，他从来没有逛过街市，现在，才感受起这个虽然还陌生、但是今后必将变得熟悉并且必须要熟悉的城市。 现在是晚八时多将近九时的光景，正是城市最美好的时光，夜幕完全降临，使一切变得朦朦胧胧，染上了一层诗意，街道旁闪烁的灯光，又好像诗意中最华丽的音韵，身边成熟而又美妙的异性又使夜晚增添了一种霓虹的色彩，特别是她身上那种难以言喻的暗香，更使人有些心醉神迷。她走在身旁，若即若离，手臂好像有意又像无意地不时触碰着你的手臂…… 多久没有过这样的情景了？ 多久没有这样的感觉了？ 李斌良真想让压力和紧张全部离去，尽情地享受着这个时刻，可是，在他的心底却总是有一根琴弦，不时地弹出一个不和谐的音调，使他难以完全放松自己的神经。 这不好，李斌良，这算什么事呢？一个公安局长，一个政治处主任，一男，一女，这个样子徜徉在夜幕中，万一被熟人看到，会造成什么样的印象，产生什么样的联想…… 因此，他想让黄淼离开自己，可是，不知为什么，却又不想说出口。是怕伤害她？还是不想让这样的感觉飞走？大概都有吧。 他感觉到，此时，黄淼也不想离开他，非常不想离开他。走出“埃弗尔”西餐厅时，他本要打车回局，是她提议步行的，自己也就服从了她。 他感觉到，她好像有什么话要对自己说，有什么事要做。 她有什么要说要做的呢？ 他等待着，可是，她却不开口。 为打破尴尬，也为了对她有所了解，李斌良主动提起一个曾经对她说过的话题。 “对了，黄主任，你想了解我的私生活，我也同样想了解你……你的家庭怎么样，一定非常美满吧，你爱人一定非常优秀吧！” “他不行，别提他！” This sentence again. “黄主任，为什么不提他，你可是第二次对我这么说了。他怎么了？” “我说了，他不行，什么都不行。” 同样是这句话。 李斌良：“可是，你们……” 黄淼突然站住了，仰着脸，幽幽的眼睛看着李斌良：“既然你一定要知道，我就告诉你吧。我们的婚姻早已名存实亡，我们早已分居了。” "This……" “奇怪吧。李局长，说真的，我从来没对别人说过这些，不知怎么让你……行，我就都说给你吧，你爱笑话就笑话吧！” 李斌良在黑暗中点点头。 黄淼扭过脸，一边迈步向前走着，一边轻声说了起来：“说起来话长了。你看我现在这个样子，在局里黄主任长黄主任短的，其实，我的过去……” 黄淼停了停。李斌良疑惑地想：她的过去怎么了，难道有什么不光彩的事？ 黄淼：“跟你说吧，其实，我是一个普通工人的女儿，又是个心气很高的女人……怎么说呢？不怕你笑话，在中学时，我的学习成绩并不好，所以，毕业后没有考上大学，只能上了卫校，后来在医院当了护士。” 对，这她曾经说过。 黄淼：“在护士这行我干得还不错，可是，我不想一辈子干这种活儿，我要找个自己喜欢的职业，于是，我就跟他结了婚。” 李斌良：“你是说，你现在的丈夫？” 黄淼：“对。不过，只是名义上的。那时，他父亲正掌权，所以，结婚后，我就提出调换职业的要求，这一点，他父亲轻而易举地就帮我办到了。这样，我就到了公安局。李局长，听明白了吧，我是靠这种手段当上警察的。” 李斌良没有说话，这种事并不稀奇。 黄淼：“可是，他父亲只帮我这些，因为，我调进公安局不久，他父亲就突然患了不治之症，不久就去世了。于是，我只好自己打拼，一步一步，走到今天。虽然官儿不算大，作为女人，也不容易了。” 李斌良：“那，你和他……” 黄淼：“你还不明白吗？我跟他根本没有感情，要是他没有一个好爸爸，不当乞丐也差不多了……李局长，我不向你隐瞒，作为女人，我崇拜强者，喜欢强者，特别是有了这么多年的经历和见识以后，我更无法和他生活在一起。对，我也不隐瞒，我是在等待，一旦遇到值得的人，我会什么也不顾地扑向他……只是……只是，年纪一年一年大了，我的最好年华已经过去，大概不会有好男人看上我了！” 黄淼呻吟般结束了自己的话，说完后，好像还哽咽了一下。李斌良觉得，她的话含有很多信息，很多让人难以分辨的信息，一种指向自己的信息。难道，她真要…… 不，不能，绝不能！ 沉默片刻，李斌良装聋作哑地：“原来是这样，不过，这都是你的私生活，我实在不好说什么。” 黄淼又站住了，再次用幽幽的眼神望着他，李斌良感觉到她的眼里好像有怨艾，也有失望。可是，他故意装出木然的样子，掉开头，慢慢向前走去。 黄淼跟上来，又开口了：“李局，我说完了，你呢？你就准备这么过下去了？” 李斌良：“这……我……这些年，我一直忙得要死，还真没细想过自己的事。对了，我们男人不像你们女人，在这方面，我也比较粗，更不像你这么多愁善感。” 黄淼的眼睛里好像有一团火花，闪了一下，失望地熄灭了。她随着李斌良向前走了几步，又开口了。 黄淼：“啊……李局，我说的是你现在的生活，你来了奉春，也不能总这样住在办公室、吃食堂啊！” 这个问题有些出乎李斌良意料，住办公室、吃食堂已经是他的生活常态，这又怎么了？ 黄淼：“李局，我觉得这样不太好，办公室毕竟是办公室，不是家，局里事又多，经常半宿半宿地静不下来，影响休息，长期下去，对健康不利。食堂也是，偶尔吃一顿两顿行，长期吃下去，也对身体不好。” 原来，她说的是这些。说真的，自从自己受伤到现在，真的享受了她太多的照顾，或许，没有她的关怀和照顾，自己也不会恢复得这么快。甚至，他已经习惯了她的关怀照顾，也正因为这一点，他一定程度地允许她靠近自己，和她产生了一点儿说不清楚的暧昧感情。现在，她又要说什么？ 黄淼：“自从你受伤后，我一直在考虑这件事，昨天，我给你找到个好地方，是个酒店，条件很好，是我一个朋友开办的，我把你的事说了，他听了很感动，特意给你安排了一个房间。” 这……这怎么能行，住酒店，既然条件好，价格一定不低，能住得起吗？ “李局，你别担心钱的事，我朋友说了，不要你的钱。他不在乎这点儿钱，他只是为你的精神所感动，为了支持你的工作，才这么做的。” 可是，世上有免费的午餐吗？多年的公安生涯使李斌良在这方面特别敏感。 “黄主任，这恐怕不行，真的不行……” “李局，你先别推辞，人家没别的意思。对了，离这里不远，咱们去看看吧！” “不不，不去，我根本不会去，看什么……” “李局，你怎么这样？我已经替你答应了，你这一推，我太没面子了。你看这样好不好，咱们去那个酒店的房间看看，你要真不想住，找个理由推掉，我跟朋友也好说话了。对，就离这里不远，从前面拐过一个街道就是。” 这个理由，李斌良实在无法推托。 黄淼没有说假话，不到二十分钟，她把他带到一个外观气派的高档酒店前，几个镀金的大字迎接着他：河春大酒店。 黄淼带着李斌良走进酒店大厅，走进电梯，穿过一道走廊，走到一个房间门外。 房间在走廊的一端，非常安静，李斌良随黄淼走到这里，除了看到一个服务员，再没看到一个人影。 一个服务员走过来，拿出钥匙打开了房门。 黄淼：“李局，进去看看吧！” 李斌良无奈地走进去。 “李局，看看吧，怎么样？” 李斌良环顾着房间，顿时感到，一种软软的、看不见的东西将自己拥抱起来。 这个东西叫舒适、舒服。 瞧，房间不但宽敞，而且陈设俱全，硕大的液晶彩电，高档的大理石茶几，造型别致的衣柜，新型的热水器……最吸引人眼球的，是那张硕大的双人床，床上罩着一层紫红色的天鹅绒床罩，床头处是两个并排摆放的枕头…… “李局，你看，怎么样……对，你再看看卫生间。” 李斌良做梦一样随着黄淼走到卫生间门口，黄淼推开门，打亮电灯，李斌良顿时看清了里边的一切，里边一样的宽敞，大理石的洗漱台，白玉般的洗手池和坐便器，更引人注目的是一个新型的洗澡器靠在角落里。 “李局，瞧，这是洗澡器，带自动按摩的。你工作一天，累了，晚上冲冲澡，按摩一下，多好啊！第二天工作保证更有精神。” 黄淼关上卫生间的门，又把李斌良引回房间，走到窗前，拉了一下什么，立刻，两张幕布一般的深红色天鹅绒窗帘合向中间，把窗子遮严了。 房间似乎更加温馨，更加诱人。 “李局，你看，这窗帘是两层的，靠窗子的一层是特制的，完全遮光，你要是熬了夜，想白天补一觉，只要把窗帘拉上，就跟黑天一样。对，这屋子还隔音，外边什么声音也传不进来。不信你听听？” 黄淼停止了说话，李斌良也注意地倾听着，是的，除了窗外隐隐约约有一点点动静外，门外和隔壁一点儿声音也没有。 不用说，这个房间里无论发出什么动静，也传不出去了。 “所以，你可以随时来房间休息，困了，尽管睡自己的，一点儿也不受打扰。” 黄淼说着，坐到了床沿上，试了试：“李局长，你试试这床垫软硬，不行可以换。来，你坐下试试！” 黄淼说着，伸手来拉李斌良，可是，力气用得大了些，李斌良脚下没站稳，腿又被床挡了一下，踉跄了一下，身子不由自主地向床上跌去，此时，黄淼恰好在他的前面，因此，跌倒的前冲力使他一下倒向黄淼的身体，黄淼则弱不禁风一般地向后仰去，于是，李斌良的大半个身子就伏在黄淼身上，二人的肢体紧贴在一起，下意识间，李斌良的一只手还扶到黄淼胸前，那种圆润、柔软而又舒适和诱惑的感觉忽地一下从手掌顺着手臂导入心脏，他的身心像中了电击一般，一时挣扎不起来，黄淼身上的暗香，更使他头脑晕眩。黄淼则发出一声轻轻的呻吟，好像下意识地抓住了李斌良的一只手臂…… 这样，李斌良就更难起来了，他一时也分辨不清，自己是真的起不来，还是不想起来。 就在这关键时刻，一个手机铃声忽然激烈地响起。 是李斌良的手机铃声。它好像从天而降的冷雨冰雹，让他一下清醒过来，他猛地跳起，把黄淼下意识伸过来的手臂甩到一旁。拿出手机放到耳旁：“喂……” 手机里没有声音。 李斌良：“喂，请问您是哪位，找谁？” Still no sound. strangeness…… 李斌良：“喂，怎么不说话，快讲话呀！” 还是没人说话，李斌良还要追问，手机里响起挂断的声音。 对方把电话撂了。 How is this going? 李斌良看看手机上的号码，对方同样也是一部手机，他反拨了回去。 很快拨通了，对方的手机铃声是一支优美的情歌。 还是不接，李斌良固执地听着，你不接，我就不放下！ Still no one answered. 李斌良继续听，他忽然觉得，这首歌似乎对自己是一种暗示，一种讽刺。 一首歌结束了，还是没人接，李斌良只好无奈地放下手机，又拨了一遍，这回，手机里传出的却是：“您所拨打的电话已关机。” 这……又是怎么回事？ 电话是谁打来的，为什么不说话又关了机？ 李斌良产生一种异样的感觉。 他感到，一双眼睛正在暗中看着自己，监视着自己。 那么，是谁的眼睛？ 不管是谁的眼睛，李斌良都感到一种危险的气息袭来，这种气息提醒他，必须马上离开这里。 此时，他已经完全清醒过来，手机放下后拔腿欲往外走，但是，忍不住又看了黄淼一眼，看到黄淼还保持刚才的姿势，歪在床上，用怨艾的目光看着他。 可是，已经不可能了。李斌良：“黄主任，谢谢你的好意，可是，我不能住在这里，真的不能，我得走了！” 黄淼：“不，等一等……” 可是，李斌良已经扭过头，拔腿走出客房，双腿发软发抖地顺着走廊、顺着步行楼梯向下走去，直到走出这个大酒店，走出一段距离了，才扭过头，看着河春大酒店大楼并寻觅着刚才那个房间的窗子。 可是，他只知道那个房间在一道走廊的尽头，但是，上的哪层楼却记不清楚了。对了，黄淼说，那个房间的窗帘非常遮光，此时，它严严地拉着窗帘，也没有灯光透出来，更使他难以分辨。 李斌良也不想一定弄清哪个房间，因为，他不会再回到那里，永远也不会。现在对他来说，那个房间是个可怕的地方，他不敢保证，如果再发生刚才那一幕，如果没有那个神秘的电话，会发生什么。 What exactly is going on? 黄淼是有意的，还是无意的。难道，她真的在勾引自己？ Why is she doing this?难道，真的像她说的那样，只是出于好感，喜欢自己？还是有别的企图…… 李斌良身子抖了一下，他忽然感到那个房间很可怕。他不再寻觅，收回目光，转身向公安局大楼的方向走去。
