Chapter 5 5 Once again the surprise doesn't seem to come from an accident

The entire report lasted less than an hour.To Shao Changshui's surprise, in addition to Li Minfen, the people who came to listen to his report included Zhao Wuliu, the captain of the criminal investigation team, Yuan Jialiang, the deputy director of the political department, and Dong Tie, the current director of the office. (It was this young Director Dong who took people to Taoligen to ask Mr. Lao for the "Diary of Solving the Case" last time, and came back after hitting a soft nail.) Of course, these leaders are all for "Master Lao's death" .For nearly an hour, Shao Changshui tried his best to control his emotions, and kept his report as objective and calm as possible.But still for some reason, he, who is usually easy and emotionless, actually choked up several times... Especially when it comes to the scene before Master Lao’s death, when he took his hand and begged him to "save him ", Shao Changshui was almost at a loss for words.But the leaders' reaction was unexpectedly calm (he could fully understand their "calmness").They seem to have received some instructions from someone beforehand, and have unified their attitudes and ideas. No matter how urgent Shao Changshui emphasized in his report, what serious background the whole incident might have hidden? Describing Mr. Lao's despair and helplessness vividly, these leaders just listened and asked, never making any analytical comments or expressing their opinions.

Perhaps influenced by the high degree of self-control of the leaders, Shao Changshui, who was quite angry at first, gradually calmed down later. "The local traffic control department finally made a clear conclusion that this accident was indeed caused by an accidental car accident without any intention of harm?" Captain Zhao finally asked such a question.He kept silent throughout the whole process of listening to the report. "Yes." Shao Changshui replied calmly. "Actually, something happened to Mr. Lao before you had time to discuss it in detail. Right?" Director Dong wanted to clarify such a question.

"Yes." Shao Changshui replied calmly. "The situation is roughly like this. You have worked so hard this trip, you are tired enough. Take a good rest." Deputy Director Yuan finally expressed the organization's care to Shao Changshui sincerely. Shao Changshui originally wanted to take this opportunity to press him about his work arrangements, but after thinking about it, it seemed a little inappropriate to talk about his own affairs at this time, so he swallowed the words again.Then, Director Yuan specially took care of Shao Changshui and returned to the office, not to talk about Lord Lao with others.At present, many people are "particularly interested" in this matter.But different people pay attention to this matter "with different purposes".Therefore, before the higher authorities make a final conclusion and disposition on this matter, they must be extremely cautious, so as not to interfere with the relevant deployment of the upper authorities.Shao Changshui immediately said that he would not talk nonsense.After the leaders left, he sat at Li Min's place for a while, drank tea for a while, and then took his leave and got up.

Walking out of the courtyard surrounded by tall poplar trees, the rain has stopped.After starting the car, Shao Changshui sat in the driver's seat for a long time.He felt that he was not strong enough, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what was wrong.An inexplicable regret, an equally inexplicable loss, a kind of guilt caused by this regret and loss, suddenly flooded my exhausted heart.He has been in the police force for so many years, he has received countless missions, and has gone on countless foreign business trips, but he has never felt so lost and regretful like this time.

"Did I do something wrong?" He, who is delicate and steady, sometimes seems a little indecisive, asked himself this way over and over again. Yes, on the way back from Taurigan, he was always in a state of confusion, suffering from "dumb pain", and he was extremely irritable.You know, he lived in poverty since he was a child, and he was definitely not raised in an ivory tower.In the past ten years of being a police officer, he has experienced many thrilling and serious cases, such as the tragic destruction of several families, fifteen or six young girls who were raped and murdered by the same serial killer in just over a year. Throwing corpses in the wilderness, and some people robbed the bank and brutally killed the injured accomplice while escaping, and that accomplice was his brother... Wait, etc. It can be said that in the past twenty years, he has seen The ugliest and most brutal side of human nature.All of these had brought him great shock, but in comparison, none of them were as shocking and shocking as the day Lord Lao wrote the word "murder" in his palm.Most of the criminals who shocked him in the past lived at the bottom of the class, or had low education, or had severe defects in personality; or had some kind of insufficiency in psychology and physiology... Shao Changshui No matter on my subconscious level or on the conscious level, I have never regarded these people as my "kind".Yes, he admits that they are also human beings, but in his opinion, they are definitely another kind of "human being" completely different from himself.Such people are called "criminals".They seem to be "natural" "heterogeneous".Their sole purpose in existence is to fight society, and to fight themselves as a policeman.Tracking them down, arresting them, and punishing them severely according to the law is hard work and sometimes dangerous, but he takes it as his "vocation".Faithful performance of this vocation can indeed trigger a kind of pleasure in his heart that is difficult for others to experience, and even produce an impulse that cannot be stopped.But when Mr. Lao wrote the word "murder", his mind froze, went blank, his heart was numb and trembling.Then I heard Master Lao "begging" him to "save him".Master Lao's "despair" made Shao Changshui suddenly feel that there is actually a serious life threat and setback in this world, which he has never experienced; there is also a life experience that he has only heard of, but still He has never personally experienced it; and there is a life responsibility that he has praised, but he has never seriously experimented or undertaken it; there is also a kind of "enemy", which he has never faced as a "master of crime solving".These "rivals" look like dogs, and they "pretend" to be more like "humans" than him in life, and live much more freely and openly than him.But other people live such a heavy and difficult life, which is unimaginable to him...

Some people have said that in our society, there is no need to call on "Heaven", because in our society, justice can always defeat evil.Shao Changshui was educated in this way since he was a child. After acquiring this basic belief, he never wavered again.If Mr. Lao was really murdered, and deliberately murdered, then what does this mean? A veteran detective with outstanding merit was murdered. This shows what?What does it mean?What does it mean? ... For a moment he couldn't find the answer.In other words, on a subconscious level, he still didn't dare to face the answer.My heart is in a mess.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but blame himself deeply.In the hospital, why didn't I do my best to satisfy Master Lao's request and help him transfer to the hospital for emergency treatment?Perhaps on the way to the hospital, Mr. Lao, who had already bled too much at that time, could not avoid death, but in that case, Mr. Lao always left with hope of a lifetime.It was so different from letting him die in despair and fear.But at that time, he was completely stunned.Faced with Lord Lao’s pleas, in my subconscious mind, I always felt that if I wanted to transfer him to another hospital, I had to “ask” my superiors first... In my subconscious mind, I even had such concerns, whether I should ask about the transfer For a moment, I even vaguely felt that the "request" made by Mr. Lao after the injury seemed a bit "hypocritical", too "paranoid" and "suspicious"... During the crucial few minutes, In this way, I was delayed and hesitated by myself, making everything a regrettable past.I am obviously not old yet, how can there be so many "subconscious minds" of looking left and right and indecisive in the depths of my soul?Shao Changshui, you have never been a dumb fool, but at the critical moment, you just stayed dumb.Such precious minutes of time...

"murder". Toyota off-road finally drove out of Daliba Lane slowly.Then speed up and shift up.Accelerate again, add gear.Just when the speed of the car exceeded seventy yards in violation of the regulations, when he rushed through a traffic light intersection in the downtown area, he slammed on the emergency brake and stopped the car in the middle of the road.Suddenly, he remembered that there was a very important thing to do, but he forgot to do it.What's up?All of a sudden but can not remember.But there is indeed one such thing that has been neglected by myself.One very important thing.What is it?How can I not remember it?It was as if at the college entrance examination site, halfway through the paper, suddenly my mind went blank, and my spirit seemed to be out of control.His heartbeat accelerated sharply, his breathing suddenly became thick and short, hot sweat poured out of his forehead, and everything in front of him was a little blurry... Even so, he still couldn't remember what was the important thing I was neglected and forgotten by myself.Shao Changshui, what happened to you today?At this time, he heard a mess of horns honking outside the car, and saw someone yelling at him with staring eyes, and saw a traffic policeman running towards him angrily.Only then did he wake up. He parked illegally and blocked the traffic, so he quickly showed his police officer card and the metal badge dedicated to the "Criminal Police of the People's Republic of China" to the traffic policeman, and quickly drove the car to the side of the road and stopped. .

Of course the traffic policeman didn't bother him too much, but seeing his face, he thought he was sick, so he guarded him for a while, seeing that his face was no longer so yellow and white, so he took care of him a few more times, and finally stopped. Shan go away.Then, he closed his eyes and let his breathing and heartbeat slowly return to normal. After another two or three minutes, he finally remembered that when he reported to the leader just now, he actually forgot to entrust him with the work of Lord Lao. Give those two things to the leader.What would the leader think if such a sensitive item was not handed in at the time of the report and then handed in later?Will the leader believe that you "forgot" to submit it because of a momentary negligence?These two things may play a key role in clarifying the truth of the whole incident.Why do you want to "hold" such an important thing in your own hands?Oh, what the hell is asking for trouble.

What should we do now?Of course, I quickly went to the leader to explain the situation and handed over the things. But you have to find a good reason.He had just been transferred to a provincial government agency and was waiting for a job appointment, so he couldn't leave such an impression of being "ma Daha" and "unsophisticated" on the leader.How did he do it? Anyway, he is also a dignified first-class police inspector. It can also be said that he has been "battle-hardened and experienced in hundreds of battles". How could he be so messed up? For this reason, he regretted unceasingly and sat quietly in the car for a few more minutes, gradually clearing up his complicated and fluctuating mood for more than a day, only to realize that such "negligence" was not caused by accident .

First of all, analyzing from the subconscious level (damn, this "subconscious" again), I am indeed a bit reluctant to "hand over" these two things.Although no one can tell what this "key role" is, one thing is for sure, if they are not important or critical, Mr. Lao will definitely not try his best at the last moment of his life, Entrust them to the "comrades from the Ministry".And for a criminal policeman, especially a veteran criminal policeman like Shao Changshui, who has a lot of clues and physical evidence in major cases, he is born with a special emotion and special interest.Clues and physical evidence are simply the core of their career life. To be honest, Shao Changshui never wanted to keep these two things privately, nor did he ever think about doing something behind the organization's back.No.He has always had a special feeling for organization and leadership.It can be said that from his grandfather and father, he "inherited" such a "graciousness of knowledge and encounter".On that day, he was appointed as the deputy director of the local county public security bureau. His grandfather had not passed away at that time. A few days after the appointment was made, his grandfather asked his father to come to the county to find him and let him go back to the forest farm to talk.He was very busy at the time and couldn't go back to the forest farm, so he asked his father to bring some roe deer meat and sorghum wine, which his grandfather liked so much, and asked his father to tell his grandfather what the old man wanted to say to his grandson, and the grandson had all the details.His grandson will definitely be loyal to his duties and strive to be a public security chief who "reassures the party and the people".But his father smiled wryly and said to him, you should go back to the forest farm.You don't even know what your grandpa wants you to do.Let me tell you this, from the day you became the chief of the county public security bureau, your grandfather hasn't had a good night's sleep, and has been taking care of you for you.He smiled and said, what is he worried about.Didn't I say that I will definitely work hard and strive to become the best police chief in the whole province and even the whole country.His dad still shook his head and sighed with a wry smile, saying, you don't understand your grandpa.Later, his father explained to him that his grandfather couldn't believe it, how could his superiors assign such a good official as the "Public Security Bureau Chief" to his grandson. "Why?" It was appointed that there are a bunch of good people above.He must thank these good people face to face and repay these good people.He always felt that his grandson was very dazed and honest since he was a child, and he didn't know how to serve others. "He's just afraid that if you don't think well or do well, you might offend these good people on something. He said, whether it's good people or bad people, he's seen a lot in his life, and they have one thing in common. Yes, that is, you can’t be offended. Today they have a high opinion of you and issued you this letter of appointment. Isn’t this letter of appointment just a piece of paper? Once you put away this piece of paper, you are nothing. Heaven and hell, in the clouds and mist, are nothing more than a piece of paper. But with this piece of paper and without this piece of paper, it is very different nowadays You must understand how the big family of our Shao family will live in the future, all pointing at these people, pointing at this piece of paper." Grandpa's thoughts make Shao Changshui dumbfounded: his old man will go to the county in person Come set a few tables and invite these good people.Shao Changshui said, how many tables?Are there enough tables?His father said, please invite as many tables as you should.Grandpa said that he paid the money.He originally saved part of the money to build the house for you.Now it seems that this house does not need him to build for you, so just spend the money, please hire these good people.Shao Changshui hurriedly said, he has the money, I don't have the face to do such a thing!What a shame!This made his father angry, he stammered for a long time without saying a word, stomped his feet, turned around and went back to the forest farm.Shao Changshui hurriedly got into the car and chased after him.His father said he would not get in the car.Later, two young men from the county bureau office drove another car, invited the old man into the car, and sent him back to the forest farm.It is said that later, his grandfather suffered a serious illness because of this incident, and for almost a year, he refused to see his most distressed grandson again.Yes, looking back, the old people's ideas are indeed "naive" and "outdated" in many places.But there are two points that moved Shao Changshui very much.First, they have been sincerely worrying about their children and grandchildren, and they are worrying about it without expecting anything in return.I am afraid that this heart will continue until they pass away from this world.It can be described as "poor world".Second, the old man is very simple, or in a very simple way, stated the "No. 1 truth in the world" today: he Shao Changshui, or his family, Shao Changshui, left "this group of good people", and this piece of paper " Appointment", it can be said that there is nothing, and it may even be nothing.Of course, he, Shao Changshui, could not be so stupid and clumsy to openly set up a dozen or twenty tables of "banquets" for all leaders (good people) in the county, in order to thank them for their training and support.However, he must handle this relationship very, very seriously.Be absolutely loyal.This is the "only way" he is sure of.It should be said that he has been doing this all these years.As long as the leader has an order, he will never say anything and never bargain.In addition to his intelligence, steadfastness, willingness to work, and perseverance, as well as his integrity, his life path has indeed shown a corresponding smoothness and accessibility. It's not that he can't see some shortcomings and problems of being a leader.He just thinks it's not his business.He just thinks that for everyone, the most important thing is to plant his own "one-acre three-point land".To be honest, it is precisely because he only pays attention to the "one-third of an acre of land" in front of him that over time, he becomes "sluggish" and "numb" to certain things and problems other than "one-third of an acre of land".It's not that he doesn't understand his "slowness and numbness" in those aspects, but he is happy with his "slowness and numbness".His intuition tells him that many leaders like the people around them and their subordinates to be good at "pushing their heads hard" on the one hand, and on the other hand, when they care about the strengths and weaknesses of the leaders, they can also be special. "Sluggish" and "numb".Consciously or unconsciously, he asked himself to do so.Over time, he even felt a little disgusted by those people who kept whispering in his ears that the leadership was bad, and they didn't do their jobs well.Especially within the scope of his jurisdiction, he will never allow such words and deeds to proliferate.Of course, one thing needs to be made clear. He still allows his subordinates to give him advice, and sometimes he even takes the initiative to ask his subordinates for advice.He just doesn't allow them to talk about the higher-ups behind their backs.He didn't want them to look for trouble, and he didn't want them to poke a hornet's nest with a honey jar. Because of this, regarding the "acting governor issue" and the "deputy mayor issue" that have been circulated in the society for a long time, there have been rumors in the provincial public security system that "a few old comrades are investigating the issue of the provincial leadership behind the back of the organization." It's not that he has never heard of the saying, but he just listened to it as a "rumor", and then he laughed, or sighed silently and shook his head, and it passed.He has never really paid attention to these "rumors", and it is impossible for him to let them take root in his heart, let alone let them affect his daily emotions and behaviors.Therefore, Taurigan's trip gave him a particularly big shock.Master Lao struggled to write the word "murder" on the palm of his hand before he died, and there was almost an earth-shattering shock in his persistent and stable state of mind.The reason why the shock was so great was that these things, which in his opinion were absolutely impossible to happen among "us", actually happened, and indeed happened within the organization, among "us". He began to ask himself: If Mr. Lao was indeed killed because of a secret investigation into the "acting governor issue", and the mastermind of the incident might be someone among "us", then can it be said that the "acting governor" is really like "the acting governor"? "Perfect and flawless", isn't there a problem? He asked again: If the acting governor really has questions to investigate, then...then...then...then what else is there to ask? If that was the case, he felt, there would be too many questions to ask.At the very least, a group of people should be brought to the questioning table of history and politics.Some of them should even be tied to the pillar of shame in history and accept a just and moral trial.Of course, in our actual life, even if the problem of the "acting governor" is cleared up, he himself will be punished in the end, can it be said that all the problems that should be solved have been solved? Woolen cloth?But...but...but what? Yes, again "but what"?He didn't want to think about it any further.Think too much, too deeply, and can't solve it. In the end, you can only make trouble with yourself. But things have come to this point, he doesn't want to at all, he feels uncomfortable and uneasy.A kind of subconscious (fuck, "subconscious" again) was telling him that no matter what, he couldn't easily hand over these two things entrusted by Mr. Lao... Of course, we cannot say that he did not hand over these two things in the end, because these subconscious minds played a role.Early this morning, such an incident happened outside the small courtyard of Li Min's branch, which also prompted Shao Changshui to inexplicably "forget" to hand over those two things to the leader at the last moment. It happened like this: At that time, Shao Changshui had just returned to Dalieba Lane after a whole night's long journey. He got out of the car exhausted and was about to ring the doorbell of Li Min's house when he suddenly heard someone calling softly behind him. He said, "Assistant Shao..." The voice was crisp and thin, like a woman's (girl?) voice.He was startled.Speaking of the title "Assistant Shao", there is such an antecedent.As explained earlier, after Shao Changshui was ordered to report to the Criminal Investigation Corps, the leaders of the Corps did not immediately assign him a job as usual, and did not explain the reason to him. (Of course I now know that this was deliberately arranged by the leaders. They just wanted to use his blank identity that had not yet been "fixed and fixed" in order to send him to Tao Ligan to do the work of Lord Lao.) After hanging up for seven or eight days .He was embarrassed to ask the leader to ask questions, and he didn't want to hang out, so he had to patronize a district library located on the street near the compound of the Provincial Public Security Bureau.He had heard a long time ago that the district library was not too far from the Provincial Central Procuratorate and Sino-French because it was next to the Provincial Public Security Department.In order to make full use of this unique geographical condition and develop its own collection characteristics, it has collected and stored the most abundant and complete collection of public security museums in the province, probably because of the reason "near the red ones are red, and those near the ink are black". Judicial Books.What is particularly interesting is that it has the most comprehensive newspaper clippings, collecting news reports on all public security and judicial activities in the province from the beginning of liberation to today.Of course, this "collection of newspaper clippings" also includes reports on many important cases cracked in the province in the past few decades, providing enough research clues and materials.When Shao Changshui was teaching criminal investigation at the provincial police academy, he wanted to make a systematic and comprehensive review of the history of criminal investigation in the province. However, he suffered from not having enough time and materials, so this matter has been stranded there.Now, time suddenly rushed in front of him, and the materials were close at hand. "Old wishes" and "accumulated habits" made him frequently walk into the special collection room of the library in this district.After coming and going, I got to know Cao Nan, the administrator of this "special collection room".Cao Nan was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old.It is said that the little girl may have a quarter or an eighth of Russian blood on her body. She is handsome and elegant, with thin light blue blood vessels clearly showing under her fair skin.She is taciturn by nature, young and mature.For some reason, she always called Shao Changshui "Assistant Shao".Shao Changshui asked her with a smile, why did you give me such an official title?But she asked seriously, what do you want me to call you?I can't call you by your name.Shao Changshui smiled, why not call him by name?It's kind of like a name.She shook her head solemnly and replied, that's not okay.Who is kind to you?You men don't try to think good things.If you think it's inappropriate to be called "Assistant Shao", then I'll call you "Shao Gongan".But later, she still called him "Assistant Shao". In the entire provincial capital, there is only one person who calls him "Assistant Shao", and that is Cao Nan. Could it be her? The voice sounded like a weaving lady who had been calling all night, and finally became thin and intermittent due to sleepiness before dawn.At first, Shao Changshui wasn't sure that it was indeed someone calling him.He even suspected that he had a momentary auditory hallucination.He hurriedly rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, and then held onto the damp door frame to gather himself.For a few seconds there was silence, save for the dull rustling of the wet, heavy leaves turning in the morning wind.Just as he was about to reach out to touch the doorbell button again, the ghostly call sounded softly somewhere behind him. "Assistant Shao..." This time it was clear that someone was indeed calling him, and the call seemed a little more urgent.The sound passed through the faint mist formed in the early morning after the rain, and came straight to the back of his head.He hurried back to look for it.A black figure floated vaguely through the gray-blue space, and stopped under a few big trees across the road. "Assistant Shao..." Third sound.This time it was true.The cry came from the black shadow.It's a girl.Familiar, not so familiar?Cao Nan, isn't it Cao Nan?Anyway, it's a girl.He calmed himself down and walked over slowly. Sure enough, it was Cao Nan.She is wearing civilian clothes.Probably waited for a long time in the damp poplar forest outside the door, and my lips were already a little purple from the cold.The large woolen shawl that wrapped tightly around her shoulders seemed wet with the morning dew.The same wet black hair was pasted on her pale cheeks and a little too full forehead.Because of the cold and nervousness, she kept shivering. "What's the matter? What are you doing here?" Shao Changshui asked in astonishment. "Be quiet..." Cao Nan retreated to the dark place at the bottom of the tree in panic, as if she was very worried that someone would find her.Shao Changshui, however, stood still and did not move. He just stared at her in astonishment and looked at her suspiciously. At the same time, he lowered his voice and asked again: "What's going on?" "..." Cao Nan looked at him steadfastly, but gasped heavily, trembling, and remained silent. "Look at how cold you are. Come, follow me to Director Li's house to keep warm." Shao Changshui invited.He knew that this Cao Nan had contacts with many people in the provincial department, and he was quite familiar with them, so he sent out such an invitation. "No!" The little girl said "No" firmly, then looked at Shao Changshui with a little panic, and asked, "Lao... Uncle Lao died... in your arms?" "You can also say that." "..." The little girl's eye circles turned red immediately, and she asked, "What did he tell you before he died?" "Why are you asking about this? Does this have anything to do with you?" Shao Changshui immediately became alert and asked back. "..." The little girl stopped talking, but she still looked at Shao Changshui steadfastly, as if she was not reconciled to getting nothing from Shao Changshui, but for a while, she seemed a little unsure how to continue asking. "What else is there? If you have something to say, hurry up. Huh?" Shao Changshui urged.He has long realized that the relationship between this girl and some people in the Public Security Bureau may be unusual.It seems to be confirmed today. "..." The little girl continued to hesitate for a while, and then asked tentatively, "I have a word, I don't know if I should tell you..." "What?" "..." She looked at Shao Changshui again, seemingly still hesitating.Shao Changshui didn't urge her any more.He had a premonition that she would say something that would surprise and surprise him.he waits. After waiting for a while, she finally spoke: "You must think that my behavior today is a bit weird. I don't have time to explain to you now, and indeed I can't convince you. But...but...now I...I I can only say...for a while...for a while, when you report to Director Li, please have some reservations." "Reservation? Why? You want me not to tell the truth to Director Li?" "You can understand it any way you want. I just... I just hope that you must have reservations... What should be said, what should not be said, what can be said, and what cannot be said, you must know in your own mind..." "What do you mean, what should be said, what should not be said, what can be said, and what can't be said, can you make it clearer?" "I'm sorry...it's almost dawn...we'll talk again when we have a chance..." As she said that, she left in a hurry.But after walking a few steps into the depths of the poplar forest, she turned around again, walked up to Shao Changshui, and said in a low voice, "There is a situation, you may not know, the deputy mayor who was sentenced to death, the Supreme People's Court Hasn’t a decision been made to suspend the execution of his death sentence?!” "Yeah. What's the matter?" "He's dead." "Dead?" Shao Changshui was startled heavily, and hurriedly said, "How is that possible!?" "The source of the news is absolutely reliable. He died, and all of a sudden Dead." "Where did he die?" Shao Changshui asked. "Of course he died in the detention center." "In the detention center? How did he die?" "It was suicide." "Suicide? Impossible. Absolutely impossible. He has been sentenced to death for so long, but he did not commit suicide. Now that he has decided to suspend the execution of his death sentence, it is possible that he survived and committed suicide instead. Is it logical and common sense? ?” Shao Changshui analyzed. At this time, some rustling sounds came from the courtyard door of Li Min's branch, as if someone was walking in the courtyard.The little girl hurried away, taking small steps, tightly wrapped in the big woolen shawl, with her hands folded in front of her chest, her slightly plump shoulders bent, and quickly disappeared into the dark and damp forest deep in the room. Watching the little girl's back go away, Shao Changshui's heart was disturbed again.If a girl of this age came to him and said such a thing, he would definitely laugh it off and ignore it.But when these words came from a girl like Cao Nan, he felt extremely heavy.Just because she may have an "unusual relationship" with some people in the provincial department, but he doesn't know exactly how "unusual" their relationship is.After contacting him a few times, he only felt that the little girl was more stable, introverted, clear-headed, and full of opinions, that's all. She actually came to "warn" him. Be "reserved".Does she know how many bowls of dry rice she eats?But how did she know that I was going to report to Li Minfen today?How do you know that I will rush back from Taurigan early this morning?Even many leaders in the hall don't know about the matter between me and Li Min, how can she grasp it so clearly?You actually came to "warn" me? !Who is this little girl?Could it be that this former director Li was also involved in the incident?If he was involved, how could a little girl who had no direct working relationship with the Public Security Bureau know about it?Things seem to be a little messed up. Shao Changshui took another silent look at Bai Yang's depths.At this time, the sky gradually turned bright, and Cao Nan's figure had completely disappeared.But when he was looking at the little girl just now, Shao Changshui found that the little girl had lost weight obviously after not seeing him for a few days.And when Shao Changshui was looking at her suspiciously, she was also staring at Shao Changshui.In her clear eyes, there was a trace of worry and uneasiness floating faintly.But this worry and uneasiness was shown in her eyes, like the light gray veil floating on the lake in the morning, euphemistic, lingering and calm. Today's young people are really elusive.Some are extremely shallow, except for money and themselves, except for those wonderful illusory worlds in computer games and other singers and movie stars who are also extremely shallow, they don’t know or care about anything, and they don’t want to know or care about anything.There are, but they are sober as hell and rebellious, absolutely denying the "quasi-axiom" that has been popular for a long time, "what is realistic is reasonable", with a mentality that no one can detect, "crazy", but extremely vivid ready to take over the world.It was difficult for him to completely classify Cao Nan into which of these two categories.But his intuition told him that the little girl's actions today were carefully considered.She didn't mess around.It was definitely not her who made the mess, nor should it be this world.At that time, he only asked: "In a moment, if I want to find you, how can I find it." The little girl hesitated and replied: "I have your mobile phone number. I will contact you." God, she, the administrator of a district library, actually has his mobile phone number.Who the hell is she? Later, during the report, Shao Changshui noticed that Li Minfen didn't mention the "sudden death" of the deputy mayor. Did he not know the news, or did he deliberately not want to tell him? Judging from the fact that Li Minfen has so many important internal relationships at the top, it is extremely unlikely that he did not know the news.It seemed that he didn't want to tell him.It's okay. In the public security system, there has always been such a good tradition. Comrades will not spread random rumors about things that you shouldn't know, and they will not inquire about them. However, even an idiot would still be able to get between the three events that happened one after another (the Supreme People’s Court issued an order to suspend the execution of the death penalty, Lao Donglin’s sudden death in a “car accident” and the “deputy mayor”’s sudden “suicide”), Feel something.Li Minfen intentionally concealed the news of the "deputy mayor's suicide" from him, was it to prevent him from feeling that there must be some kind of connection here?Don't want him to draw some kind of inference from this?Could it be...Could it be that this Li Minfen was inseparable from the death of Mr. Lao and the death of the deputy mayor? 另外，曹楠要是没有掌握一点李敏分的什么“情况”，她绝对不会老清黑早地上李家门口来堵他，更不会让他在汇报时一定要对李敏分“有所保留”。那么，曹楠到底又掌握了李敏分的一些什么“情况”呢？ 她，一个区图书馆的管理员，怎么会搞到李敏分的情况？为什么要去搞李敏分的情况？Etc., etc.真可以说是越想越复杂，越捉摸越糊涂。也许，一切都是这小丫头“编造”出来的。她原先就患有精神狂想症？ 后来的时间里，他忐忑……他焦急地等待着曹楠的电话。但一个上午过去了，曹楠却一直没来电话。邵长水托人从侧面去区图书馆了解了一下，证实小丫头精神正常，头脑清醒。这反而让他更“迷糊”了。快到中午时分，还不见来电话，他真有点急了。一直到要开饭了，办公室的人都去了食堂，仍不见有电话来。他主动往区图书馆那儿打了个电话。No one answered.想了想，干脆去瞧瞧吧。区图书馆里已经没人了。大门二门都锁上了，整个院里都空空荡荡的。他掏出手机来查看，显示屏上也没有“未接电话”和“短信息”的显示。奇怪啊！她天不亮，跟救火似的赶到李敏分家门口来堵他，这会儿怎么又完全不见动静了呢？到底在搞啥名堂？ !他在紧闭着的图书馆大铁门前默默地发了会儿呆，决定先去把午饭吃了再说。 刑侦总队在省厅大院左翼副楼的顶层。整占了一个楼层。他按往常的惯例，没坐电梯，是走着往下去的。刚走下一层去，透过通平台的玻璃大门，随便地向下扫了那么一眼，却让他吃了一大惊。他看到，曹楠那小丫头正跟李敏分肩挨着肩地，走出他们省厅的食堂，走过大院的中心花圃，正向大院的后门外走去。两人神情亲和，好像在小声地说着什么悄悄话。他立即倒吸了口凉气。难道说，今天老清黑早，在李家小院门前白杨林里发生的事，只是李敏分借助曹楠小丫头，故意导演来考验他的一场“戏剧小品”而已？难道说，省城的人际关系，也会像某些名利场上显示的那样，充满着“险恶”和“阴谋”？他不敢相信，当时在白杨深处，曹楠脸上显示出的那种忧虑和焦急，苍白和抑郁，全是“演”出来的。他更不相信中国当代会有这样演技高超的演员，能在自己的眼神中“扮演”出那样一种神情，要知道那是一种发自灵魂底部的战栗和忧虑啊。一向声称自己身上没有一点艺术细胞，也从没有演艺经历的邵长水却坚信，这样一种战栗和忧虑是绝对伪装不出来的，也是表演不了的。况且曹楠压根儿就不是个演员。她年轻，也许会幼稚，但绝不虚饰。但是……但是，又怎么来解释眼前这个景象呢？ 人类啊，难道你只能在自私和虚伪中奔突贲张吗？ 他呆立在那儿，目送着这两人出了大院。随后，李敏分上了一辆等候在大院后门口的红旗车。曹楠等那车开走后，一边向不远处的区图书馆走去，一边掏出手机，不知在给谁拨号。几秒钟后，邵长水口袋里的手机响了。他慌忙掏出手机来看，正是曹楠打来的。 “说话方便吗？”曹楠问。“……”邵长水愕愣了一下。一时间，他居然有些不知怎么回答才好了。 “喂，是您吗，邵助理？怎么不说话？”曹楠问。 “啊……是我。你说，咋的了？”邵长水忙回答，竟然有一点语无伦次了。 “什么'咋的了'？不是说好，咱们约时间要见一面的吗？”曹楠反而显得很有理，也很有“成竹”似的。 “啊……对。见面。我一直在等你的电话哩。你说，啥时间见，在哪儿见，听你的。” 放下电话后，他却呆坐了好一阵。真去见她，还是就此回避不见？ 如果按邵长水过去的脾性和习惯，他指定是要回避了，不会再去见她。凡是领导没指派的事，在他，一定是“多一事不如少一事”。况且又是这么一个小丫头，你去跟她再蘑菇个啥嘛？但今天，邵长水却有点“反常”了。他想去见她。而且非常想去见她。为了劳爷？为了那一天一夜的陶里根之行？为了接二连三发生的大事小事迷事浑事？为了心头凝结的所有的谜团？一切都说不好。反正他想去见见这个小丫头。
