Chapter 46 forty six

Ou Qingchun couldn't remember how many tears she shed because of her reunion and parting with Xiao Tong. She found that she had become fragile and fragile without knowing it.If we say that the relationship with Hu Xinmin is a kind of peaceful happiness, a routine and tacit understanding of life, then the love with Xiao Tong is a way of thinking that makes people worry about it, desperately, but can't stop. When she walked into the small restaurant in the mountain village and saw Xiao Tong at first glance, his dark and thin face made her hardly able to confirm it.Whether it's because of the two months of homelessness, or because of the stubborn drug addiction, Xiao Tong's somewhat out-of-shape appearance made her feel distressed.She forced herself to calm down and controlled her emotions by taking deep breaths.Later, when she joined him, she was unusually calm and calm, until Xiao Tong's still strong embrace under the ancient banyan tree, tears burst out of her eyes.She didn't want to cry at first, but who could not cry when he hugged her so hard!

For two months, they mobilized a large number of police forces to search in the provinces and cities where Ouyang Tian might go, but found nothing.The director also personally took people to Jilin to participate in the organization of the search and arrest, but there was also no clue.Perhaps it was because the director no longer had any illusions about finding them in a short period of time, so one and a half months after the success of the Tianjin operation.The office finally made a summary report on the 6.16 case to the bureau.After more than half a year of meticulous investigation and evidence collection, combined internal and external, and took the initiative to attack, they caused this large-scale and deeply hidden drug trafficking group to suffer continuous heavy losses, and finally collapsed.Its material foundation has collapsed, its main network has been paralyzed, its important strongholds have been destroyed, and the amount of drugs and drug funds seized is the largest in the country.Although the principal culprit has not yet been arrested, the remarkable and brilliant results of the battle can be recorded in the annals of history.

Qingchun participated in this briefing, so Xiao Tong was naturally mentioned at the meeting.The director said that based on the analysis of the current situation, Xiao Tong may have died, otherwise, he would not have been in contact with us for so long. This is a topic that has been taboo for so many days, and it is the first time that the director has said it out.Qingchun knew that this was already a tacit consensus.But as soon as the director said this, her heart still flickered to her throat.The meeting was suspended for more than ten seconds, as if to mourn for Xiao Tong.Qingchun wanted to cry, but under the eyes of everyone, she couldn't cry.She knew that if she really cried for him in public, everyone would think she was too emotional, because no one knew the story between her and Xiaotong except Li Chunqiang.

It was the day when Li Chunqiang recovered from his injury and was discharged from the hospital.In the afternoon, she and several comrades from the criminal police team went to the hospital to pick him up.She drove him home herself.Li Chunqiang asked her to sit up and sit down.She was depressed and couldn't talk anymore. I was not feeling well and wanted to go home early.She really longed to be alone at this moment. Li Chunqiang nodded, not forcing her to get out of the car.He said: "I've heard about Xiao Tong. Don't be too sad. Dealing with drug dealers is just so cruel. You and I are all holding our heads up. This time, the guy's gun is going to kill him." It’s just a little bit, I’m not the same. You have to relax when you do what we do, and let him go after talking and laughing. You can’t be like in movies and novels, where dead people sing and sing three times.”

Qingchun looked at him, smiled understandingly, but still sighed: "We are all public security cadres and people's policemen. It is only natural for us to die for our country. But Xiao Tong is not. He was forced to do this, he died too unjustly. In the future, he still doesn’t know how to explain to his parents abroad.” Li Chunqiang could only comfort him, and said some people are inherently mortal, or they are more important than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather, as long as they die well.Qingchun nodded, but the pain in her heart didn't ease at all.She stayed up all night for several days, and every word Xiao Tong said when they met and got along with her came to mind one by one.His every movement, every smile, every anger, every cry are all vivid in my mind.Only now did she regret her previous indifference and contempt for him.Her love for him, the sacrifices he made for her cause, were all too little in return, too passive.So much so that now, all of Xiao Tong's voices and smiles came out to haunt her and torture her.His frankness and combativeness, enthusiasm and cheerfulness, masculinity and childishness all occupied her mind unwillingly, stinging her scarred nerves all the time.

Father was sensitive and knew that something must have happened.He discovered that Qingchun had put a photo of her and Xiaotong at the Simatai Great Wall in his wallet at some point. It was a "group photo" of two separate photos pasted together. He didn't ask why.It wasn't until the photo in the crystal photo frame on the coffee table in the living room was replaced by Xiao Tong, and a withered rose was placed on the corner of the photo, that my father asked Qingchun carefully. Qingchun did not hide anything, and told her father truthfully that Xiaotong was missing. Father asked: Will something happen?

She said: Yes. Father was silent, and his silence was a comfort to her.Maybe her father, like her, has to wait until this situation to remember how many cute things Xiao Tong has. Father and Xiao Tong obviously also have a special fate, he is the first person who really heard his voice after Xiao Tong disappeared and proved that he is still alive.After receiving Xiao Tong's sudden and endless phone call, he immediately called and told Qingchun.Qingchun could hardly believe it was true. In the evening of that day, she led a team to leave Beijing for Guangzhou, and the next day, the Guangdong Provincial Department sent scouts to accompany her to Xintian Village, not far from Shantou.After successfully connecting with Xiao Tong, she immediately contacted the Guangdong Provincial Department and Beijing with her mobile phone, suggesting to change the plan of arresting Ouyang Tian that night, and wait for the Hong Kong drug trafficking organization to hand over the drugs to him.When everything was still undecided, the plainclothes police scattered in the east of the village urgently reported that Ouyang Tian and several people had left the Xintian Chemical Preparation Factory suddenly and disappeared by car.

She didn't expect such a mistake to be caught off guard at the last moment of the case.She had them almost certainly in her hands, and in the blink of an eye they were gone again.After asking for instructions, the Guangdong Provincial Department asked her to stay in Xintian Village and not move.In the evening, she drove the car to a hidden place near Xintian Village, and spent an anxious night with everyone in the car.The local Public Security Bureau monitored the Xintian Chemical Plant overnight, and found no abnormal movements.The next morning, the Guangdong Provincial Department sent a message saying that Xiao Tong had just called the phone number Qingchun had left for him. He and Ouyang Lanlan had already arrived in Guangzhou, 500 kilometers away, and they were now staying at the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou.

She immediately took people to Guangzhou.In the evening, she boarded a small boat from the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau and drove along the Pearl River to the shore outside the White Swan Hotel, waiting for the opportunity to connect with Xiaotong.The scouts from the Municipal Bureau saw Xiao Tong and Ouyang Lanlan eating half of their meal in the western restaurant, and Ouyang Lanlan suddenly abandoned the table and left.Xiao Tong finished eating hastily by himself and went for a walk by the river alone. A plainclothes man disguised as a hotel cleaner came up behind him, and when he overtook him, he whispered: "Go forward!" Xiao Tong followed him from a distance. , went all the way to the small boat moored on the shore.

The skiff appeared to be nothing more than a motor boat for pulling and towing.The only light in the cabin was a ceiling lamp with a dirty shade, which gave off a dim light like a candle.In the middle of the cabin is a table made of wooden boxes. On the table are some used teacups and leftover fast food boxes.An ashtray cut from Coke cans was full of messy cigarette butts and waste paper.In addition to Qingchun, there were two plainclothes people sitting on the wooden box who seemed to be locals. As soon as Xiaotong saw Qingchun, he couldn't wait to talk about the situation of Ouyang Lanlan being called away. Qingchun said: "Don't worry, our people have already watched her, and she can't run away." What is clear is where Ouyang Tian is hiding at this time.Regarding his upcoming sea connection with the Hong Kong underworld organization 14K, the Ministry of Public Security has sent a detailed intelligence material to the Guangdong Provincial Department at noon today. The ship that received the goods was smuggled out.

She didn't let Xiao Tong sit down, nor did she introduce her two local colleagues to him, which in itself foreshadowed the briefness of the meeting.Qingchun said: "If Ouyang Lanlan calls you tonight, you should try to find out where they are. Maybe they will let you go, or they may come to pick you up. If you can, try not to go." Xiao Tong said, "Don't I need to follow them?" Qingchun said, "Yes, your task has been completed." She saw that Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment, and then there was a sense of relief in his body.He grinned and said: "I knew it was time for you to say that." "how do you know?" Xiao Tong lowered his head and thought for a while, a little shyly, wanted to laugh, but didn't.Said: "I don't know why, but I have a hunch. Yesterday I was half asleep in the car and had a dream. I dreamed that I went back to school and participated in a speech contest. My friend, teacher, My parents have gone, and so have you. Everyone who knows me has gone. What I recite is still the topic of 'Motherland, My Mother'. I performed very well and devoted myself. Five thousand years, thousands of heroes. The yellow sand wears the golden armor in a hundred battles. If you don’t break Loulan, you won’t pay it back.” During this period, I was so moved that I cried. I don’t know what I remembered, maybe I thought of myself After all the suffering, I cried a lot in my dream, but I woke up before finishing the recitation." The two comrades from the Guangdong Provincial Department on board laughed secretly at Xiao Tong's childishness.Qingchun also smiled, but it was a very warm and understanding smile. She said, "No, you have finished reciting. You have recited it many times, and it is better every time!" After she said this, she and Xiao Tong looked at each other for a long time.Gazes exchanged mutual gratitude.She can imagine what Xiao Tong has experienced in the past two months, and everything is not difficult to imagine.Xiao Tong's face was blushing, he wanted to use words to cover up his excitement. "I also understand now that a person is also happy when he sacrifices for the country and the society. He himself will feel very sacred, very glorious, very fulfilling, and very satisfying. I think it is very false to say this in the newspapers before, but now I feel Understood. I helped you do this part of the matter, and I understand that you people, including you Captain Li and your 'boss', are very great!" Qingchun said with a smile: "Then next time you participate in a speech contest, write us in the words. Even yourself can be included." Xiao Tong's eyes flashed with excitement and said: "Haven't they caught Ouyang Tian yet? If you need me, I can continue." Qingchun said: "It's really unnecessary. Tomorrow morning, the armed police will mainly undertake the task of arresting at sea, and even we are supporting roles. Besides, there are many people from them. Maybe the battle will be cruel. You The side has not been trained, and the gun does not recognize people." Xiao Tong lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something, Qingchun said: "Don't stay here for too long, maybe Ouyang Lanlan will call you soon. I rented a room next to yours. It's easy to find me." Xiao Tong nodded, took his leave, turned around, walked to the hatch and stopped again, looked back at Qingchun, then at the two local plain clothes, hesitant to speak.Qingchun asked: "Is there anything else going on?" He muttered, even lowered his face, avoiding Kai Qingchun's gaze, and said, "I have a request, I wonder if you can agree to it." Qingchun answered him encouragingly in a relaxed tone: "Tell me, what is your request?" Xiao Tong raised his head and lowered it again, as if he didn't know how to speak.Qingchun said again: "It's nothing, you can just say it." "You, you, at sea, will you go tomorrow morning?" "I will not go." "Then, can you, let them, the armed police, not hurt Ouyang Lanlan, they can capture her alive." Qingchun didn't understand why Xiao Tong's expression was so solemn, but why he hesitated to speak."Of course, if they surrender, we will give preferential treatment to the captives, and the future will be determined by the law," she said. Xiao Tong still dodged his gaze, and said: "I'm afraid, Ouyang Lanlan's temper, if she has a gun in her hand, she will follow her father and Jianjun to resist. She does things regardless of the consequences. I hope, you, you I can protect her." Ou Qingchun said suspiciously: "You have to know that Ouyang Lanlan is also guilty." Xiao Tong said: "If she is guilty, she can be sentenced. If possible, don't beat her to death. She is a woman." Ou Qingchun couldn't understand Xiao Tong's expression.The dodging eyes, apologetic eyebrows, far-fetched excuses, and hesitant wording almost hinted at an element of privacy.She said in a calm but firm tone, "Xiao Tong, tell me the reason, okay?" Xiao Tong didn't say anything. Qingchun said: "You have stayed with her for two months, do you think she is not bad and has many advantages, don't you? You have been together for a long time, and you have developed some feelings, don't you? It’s not necessary to say it, but it’s actually quite normal, I can understand it. I have feelings for a kitten director.” Xiao Tong shook his head, "No, I have no feelings for her, not at all, just forget it if you don't believe me." "Then why?" Qingchun raised her voice. "Because she has a baby in her belly." Even the two plainclothes observers looked at each other, and the whole cabin was stunned for a long time. Qingchun was also half-opened, unable to speak for a while, but she finally asked directly in a calm voice. : "Is this yours?" Xiao Tong stood stiffly without answering, which was obviously a clear tacit consent. Qingchun lowered her head and gritted her teeth, then raised her head, she wanted to smile, but the muscles on her face were crowded very ugly. "Okay, I will notify the Armed Police Force and try not to hurt her." Of course Xiao Tong saw the shock on her face that was tried to hide.He was a little helpless and a little desperate because of this.This makes his voice so weak that it is almost inaudible. "thanks." He left after saying this. Qingchun stood there, dazed, and could hardly hear how the two plainclothes fellow shipmates commented on this young and handsome "special love" to her. They asked her if this young man was in love with Ouyang Tian's daughter ?To be able to kill relatives so righteously is really quite enlightened... Qingchun thought, why did he have a child if he had no feelings for her! Ten minutes later she walked into the hotel, went upstairs, and went to her room.When she passed by Xiao Tong's door, she listened carefully, but there was no movement inside. After entering the room, she first called Director Ma to report the meeting with Xiao Tong just now.The director asked her not to let Xiao Tong leave the room, because just after receiving a report from the city bureau, Ouyang Lanlan was obviously making moves outside the provincial stadium.The city bureau was afraid that it would be exposed and affect the roundup at sea tomorrow morning, so they gave up tracking.The taxi driver only knew that Ouyang Lanlan got off the bus at the stadium, but he didn't know where she went.It is estimated that she will call Xiao Tong again, and the possibility of her going back to find Xiao Tong is not ruled out.Qingchun nodded one by one, saying that I knew the director. The director rushed to Guangzhou this afternoon to participate in the command of the last battle of the case.Li Chunqiang and Du Changfa are here. They are currently in a fishing village more than 60 kilometers away from Guangzhou, making final inspection arrangements for the round-up at sea tomorrow morning.A dozen speedboats and hundreds of armed police will be used for this operation, and they should have already entered the hidden spots and are ready to go.Not to mention Xiao Tong, Lian Qingchun herself, as one of the organizers of the 6.16 case, has now completed the task and just waited for the good news, but her heart suddenly became gloomy, and she did not have any excitement to welcome the harvest , There is no feeling that victory is in sight. No feelings but actually have a child! She couldn't figure out what was going on with Xiao Tong. It was believable that he had no feelings for Ouyang Lanlan, because it was because of his repeated intelligence that Ouyang Lanlan and her father were pushed to the brink of extinction.But he actually let her conceive his child.Qingchun couldn't figure it out, could it be that love and sex, soul and flesh could really be separated like this?Maybe someone in his early twenties like Xiao Tong can and is willing to sleep with someone he doesn't love at all, just for physical pleasure.But for her, this is really the most unacceptable behavior. The phone rang.It was Xiao Tong who called from next door.He said, Qingchun, I want to talk to you, I am sorry for you, I hope you will give me a chance.Qingchun said, now is not the time to talk about these things, you hang up the phone right away, if they call in and you occupy the line, they will be suspicious.Xiao Tong wanted to say something else, but Qingchun hung up the phone by himself. She thought, maybe things are like this, there will never be a happy ending, entrusting a person in his early twenties with his life is the most passionate and also the most unstable thing.She thought about how she and Xiao Tong have been on and off for more than half a year.All her hesitation and depression are actually choices and hesitation between passion and reason.On the one hand, she tried several times and even decided to leave him, but in the end she couldn't leave him.On the other hand, she often thinks that she understands him and adapts to him, but she keeps discovering his new shortcomings and bad habits, as if she can never leave him and at the same time never adapt to him, forever and ever. She couldn't think of how Xiao Tong would deal with his child in the future.Thinking of this child, Qingchun, made her feel bad.Tomorrow morning, as long as Ouyang Lanlan doesn't stubbornly resist and kill herself, Xiao Tong will inevitably become a father.Even if Ouyang Lanlan was sentenced to death, according to the law, she would have to wait until she gave birth to the child and went through the breastfeeding period before it could be executed.As a father, Xiao Tong has an inescapable responsibility for this child.And Qingchun herself, can she accept this reality? Very late, the phone rang again.It was Xiaotong again, he said that Ouyang Lanlan had called, and she was playing mahjong with a friend of her father's house now.Qingchun asked, did she say she would come back?Xiaotong said, she said she would come back tomorrow morning, and Qingchun said that tomorrow morning they had already boarded the boat 60 kilometers away at sea, it seems that she didn't want to take you away.It's better this way, so that it won't be difficult for our people to get involved if you get involved.Xiao Tong said, Qingchun, I want to go over and talk to you face to face, I have a lot to say to you.Qingchun said, you should take a good rest. Regarding the situation in the past two months, we will find an opportunity to listen carefully to what you have to say. Now you should take a good rest.She ended their call in a very businesslike tone and hung up.But not long after, Xiao Tong came over and knocked on her door.After she asked clearly it was him, she hesitated for a long time before opening the door.As soon as Xiao Tong entered the room, she pre-empted her. She said Xiao Tong, we are all working now, and now is not the time to talk about personal affairs.She didn't expect Xiao Tong to say, I don't want to talk anymore, I just want to hug you. Qingchun froze for a moment, but still refused: "I said, we are working now..." Xiao Tong interrupted her, his voice suddenly choked up: "I know, but for the past two months, I thought I would never see you again alive. It is you who have been supporting me these two months, and you have given me persistence The belief to go on. Right now, I just want to hug you one more time, and then I'm going." Qingchun was a little moved, she nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaotong." The two of them hugged each other, Xiao Tong just hugged her tightly and motionless.She felt him cry.She heard him say in her ear: "I know, we have no fate." After speaking, he let go of his hand, turned and left her.She heard the heavy door slam shut behind him! Then, she stayed up all night. She wished he would call again, she wished he could talk to her.In the dead of night, when the case that united the two of them was about to be successfully concluded, when they reunited after a long absence, why was there such a sudden desolation of separation across a wall?Why can't he call again, explain the whole story in detail, and discuss it?Is he really desperate? Early in the morning, before full light, the phone rang.The phone that had been silent all night was screaming extremely sharply at this time.Sure enough, it was Xiao Tong.His voice was hurried and flustered: "Qingchun, it's me. Just now Ouyang Lanlan called me again. She didn't go to Shanghai. She said she is near the train station now." Qingchun was taken aback, and asked, "What is she doing there?" "She said she was leaving and said goodbye to me." "She's lying to you again. She must be with her dad. They should be at sea by now." "Maybe, but I don't think she has to lie to me." Qingchun thought for a while and said, "You go downstairs immediately and wait for me at the gate of the hotel." She put down the phone, dressed in a hurry, and reported to the Provincial Public Security Bureau with a handheld phone while going downstairs, asking for support.Although at this time she still believed that 80% of this sudden change was a false alarm. The Provincial Public Security Bureau left a car for her in the garage of the hotel.She drove out the car and picked up Xiao Tong who was waiting at the gate and the two plainclothes officers from the Municipal Bureau who had been guarding the lobby.Facing the dawn light, they walked through the deserted streets in the early morning and headed straight for the train station. When they arrived at the train station, the big clock in front of the station had just rang heavily.They almost didn't care to check what time it was before they ran into the waiting hall.The early buses of several lines have already started ticket checking.The comrades from the Municipal Bureau showed their work permits, and the ticket inspector let them all enter the platform.Qingchun said, we have to find them separately. If anyone finds them, they should be caught if they can, and if they can't be caught, they should follow them into the car.Be careful not to hurt the crowd, she said to Xiao Tong again, if you find out, you will cling to Ouyang Lanlan and ask her to take you away, and then you still make that phone call if you have a chance!Xiao Tong said yes! She and Xiaotong separated, and they searched separately on the two platforms.Passengers carrying large bags and speaking various local dialects rushed past her.Because the ticket was just checked, the train was empty and there were not many people on the train. This is the car bound for Liuzhou. She didn't find Ouyang Lanlan on this platform, but she found comrades from the provincial department and municipal bureau who had just arrived in the crowd.At least a dozen plainclothes officers came in from the Municipal Bureau.Comrades from the provincial department said that all the exits of the train station have been blocked, and as long as Ouyang Tian enters, he will be a turtle in the urn.The comrades at all exits have seen the photos on the arrest warrant, and they have long been familiar with his appearance.The key now is not to hurt the masses. Comrades from the station police station also came.Introduced the situation: the platform on the west is the "General Express" from Guangzhou to Zhanjiang, and there is no train on the platform to the west, and the right neighbor of the empty platform is the express from Guangzhou to Fuzhou, and ticket checking has already begun. . The plainclothes scattered away, Qingchun jumped off the platform, walked across the rails to the west platform.It was still early, and most of the platforms were still empty. The coldly glowing railway tracks quietly extended their torso into the thin morning sun and the blue-white morning mist, and the distance became more and more hazy. Qingchun didn't know at this time that Ouyang Tian and the others discovered her, Xiao Tong and others as soon as they entered the platform.They've been standing on the pillars of the platform.stairs.Under the cover of the booth, they played a thrilling hide-and-seek game with the plainclothes.Ouyang Tian originally decided that the three of them should disperse, but because Ouyang Lanlan witnessed the scene of Xiao Tong chasing down with plainclothes policemen, his spirit had collapsed, so he could only carry her forward with Jianjun. Walk.On the platform to Fuzhou, plain clothes were heavy, and it was obviously impossible to get on the train.So they walked on the overpass, because on another platform, a passenger train had just arrived, and the exit at one end of the overpass had been opened, and they obviously wanted to get out of the station from the overpass.But just as they walked up the empty stairs, Xiao Tong's voice suddenly came from behind: "Lan Lan!" At this moment, Ou Qingchun and two other plain clothes walked up the bridge from the other side. On the one hand, she wanted to stand on a high place and look down, but on the other hand, she was also worried that Ouyang Tian would go out from here.Xiao Tong's shout made her turn her eyes to the stairs opposite, she saw Ouyang Lanlan tripping on the stairs, she turned her head and looked at Xiao Tong.Xiao Tong's shout also alarmed the plainclothes around, and on the empty stairs, the three targets who were being searched were immediately exposed.Ouyang Tian and Jian Jun didn't move in panic, but Ouyang Lanlan pulled out a pistol from her arms and pointed it at Xiao Tong viciously.Xiao Tong didn't even hide, he still walked towards her calmly.He said something to her calmly, but Qingchun couldn't hear her, because at this time someone shouted: "Don't move, raise your hands!" Many pistols were aimed at the people on the stairs from different directions. Qingchun saw that Ouyangtian first raised his hands, and then Jianjun also raised his hands.But at this time she heard gunshots, like the kind of mole that children play with, the kind of mole that she has never heard since the ban on fireworks and firecrackers in Beijing, the sound was so loud and so sudden. .After several consecutive calls, she finally saw that Ouyang Lanlan was still holding a gun in her hand, while Xiao Tong was already paralyzed on the stairs of the overpass.Qingchun hissed loudly, and at the same time felt that something in her heart seemed to leave her body.She didn't know what she was shouting, she just subconsciously tried her best to keep that thing. At this moment, gunshots from the plainclothes men also rang out. Ouyang Lanlan was shot dead while sitting on the railing of the stairs.Ouyang Tian and Jian Jun drew their guns and struggled to escape on the flyover.The plainclothes policemen chased and intercepted them bravely from top to bottom, shouting and gunshots rang out.Ou Qingchun rushed down in the opposite direction, she rushed down and picked up Xiao Tong who was lying on the steps, she cried Xiao Tong Xiao Tong!Xiao Tong's face was peaceful.His chest was covered in blood, his mouth was moving, and he was speechless.He took out the hand that was stuck in the clothes on his chest, and the pale hand was stained red with blood like a flower blooming.He held a thick roll of money in his hand, a fresh roll of US dollars, and handed it to Qingchun's arms.His mouth moved desperately, trying to say something, but no sound could be heard.From the coordination of his expression and movements, Qingchun understood that he was talking about the money, that he was saying that the money was for her, and that she should keep it, keep it.Then, he stopped moving.Comrades from the Municipal Bureau surrounded him, asking questions in a hurry, and lifting him up in a hurry.The battle is clearly over.She saw them carrying Xiao Tong stumbling and running out quickly, and someone was calling for an ambulance on a handheld phone.People left her behind, and she stood alone on the stairs of the overpass, holding the ten thousand dollars in her hand, and she knew her Xiao Tong was dead.
