Chapter 4 third chapter

This commercial house from the 1990s looked old and deserted. An incandescent lamp was silently on on the top, and the lamp tube was covered with a thick layer of dust, which seemed to have not been wiped for a long time. There is a Buddhist altar on the wall, inside are two photos of women, one is a middle-aged woman, the other is a young girl smiling with bright white teeth, but both photos are black and white. In front of the altar, two white candles were burning slowly, making squeaks from time to time. A bowl full of rice was placed on the small square table below. A few sticks of incense were inserted in the bowl, and it was almost burnt out.In addition, there are several pots of meat and vegetable dishes, which are enshrined.

At the table beside him, a man in a police uniform was sipping alcohol decadently. His hair was gray, his eyes were red, and the uniform was open. His name is Ye Yuanchao. He is in his fifties this year. He is the deputy director of the town police station. He is recognized as a good policeman and a good man.All kinds of public security disputes and conflicts between neighbors in the jurisdiction, the common people are willing to ask him to mediate.But he never dreamed that the experience of family ruin and death would fall on him one day. Originally, Ye Yuanchao had a happy family. His only daughter, Ye Qing, was young and beautiful. After graduating from university, she was admitted to work in a public institution in the county. But it is very stable and the benefits are generous. The couple saved a sum of money to buy a house for their daughter.

A year ago, Ye Qing was introduced to fall in love with Shen Hao, the son of the secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection. She originally thought that the other's father held an important position, and if her daughter could marry Shen Hao, she would have nothing to worry about for the rest of her life.Not long after getting along, Ye Qing discovered that Shen Haoduo had an improper relationship with a man and a woman, so she proposed to break up.Unexpectedly, Shen Hao insisted on refusing, and the two sides argued many times. The last time Shen Hao drove by the door of Ye Qing's unit, when Ye Qing saw Shen Hao after get off work, she turned her head and left.Shen Hao was furious, and said that if you don't look back today, I'll run over you with a car and kill you!Ye Qing ignored it and continued walking, and then she heard the roar of the engine, and a tank-like BMW off-road vehicle pressed her down, and she had no chance to stand up again.

Afterwards, the Shen family used multiple relationships to deal with the aftermath. Since the incident occurred on a road, the traffic police and public security jointly determined that this was a traffic accident, and the owner of the car was responsible for most of the responsibility. The family members of the deceased actively compensated, so they were exempted from criminal responsibility. The only daughter suddenly suffered bad news, and Ye Yuanchao and his wife aged ten years overnight. Later, the wife heard the inside story of the accident from the police station personnel, and she was furious, and wanted to sue the murderer to pay for her life.But Ye Yuanchao knew that there were many entanglements in this matter, and the leaders kept coming to do his ideological work. He also knew that the deputy director of the police station, who was about to retreat to the second line, had no way of touching the Shen family at all, so he decided to calm down the matter attitude, has been persuading his wife not to mess around.

Soon, his wife suffered from severe mental depression and went to a mental hospital for treatment many times, but the effect was limited. In the end, when Ye Yuanchao was not at home, she chose to jump off the building and end her own life. Ye Yuanchao sat alone at the table, thinking about everything that happened in the past year, his facial muscles began to tremble violently.He took another sip of wine, looked at the two photos in the shrine, opened his mouth wide, blushed, and in the end, he didn't make any sound, only big teardrops fell from his red eyes. He turned his head to the ceiling, gritted his teeth, stood up suddenly, took out the pistol that had never been pulled from his bag, and slapped it hard on the altar. After that, he took out all the things that had been wrapped in the envelope. The six bullets stood upright in front of the gun one by one, bowed their heads towards the photo, and clenched their fists.

"Dong dong dong." Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Ye Yuanchao was startled, and hurriedly reached out to put the gun back into his bag, but knocked over the bullets lined up vertically on the table, jingling, and several bullets fell to the ground, making a loud noise. Ye Yuanchao hurriedly put the bullets scattered on the table and the ground back into his bag, wiped his eyes, restrained himself, and asked, "Who is it?" "It's me." A young, calm voice came from outside the door. Ye Yuanchao heaved a sigh of relief, walked over to open the door, and there was a man in his thirties standing outside the door. He was slightly taller than Ye Yuanchao, with ordinary features on his face, but he looked calm, calm, and gentle, giving people A feeling of trustworthiness.

"Are you not on duty at school tonight?" Ye Yuanchao asked. The man smiled and nodded: "I took a leave of absence, and the night self-study was replaced by other teachers. Today is Auntie's Qiqi, let me come over." He glanced in, rather embarrassed, "I haven't entered this door for many years. gone." He walked into the room, closed the door, looked at Ye Yuanchao's expression, and then at the wine bottle on the table. Without saying anything, he walked slowly to the altar, took out three incense sticks, lit them, and bowed earnestly. bye.Then he turned around, looked around the house, and accidentally found a bullet that had fallen on the ground and hadn't been cleaned up.He walked over, stooped to pick up the bullet, and put it gently back on the table.

Ye Yuanchao looked at him, and he looked at Ye Yuanchao, neither of them spoke. After a long time, the man smiled: "Uncle Ye, what's the matter with this bullet?" "Probably...maybe I lost it when I tidied things up." Ye Yuanchao concealed it. "Guns and bullets, don't you always hide them the most carefully, don't you even let your aunt touch them when she's alive?" Ye Yuanchao didn't speak. The man glanced at the satchel on the table, it was still bulging, he smiled lightly, and said, "Uncle Ye, are you thinking about..." "What are you thinking?"

"Thinking of doing something for them?" "You..." Immediately, Ye Yuanchao didn't know what to say. Under the gentle and bright eyes of this intelligent man, Ye Yuanchao felt that he was instantly read through his thoughts. The man paused for a while, and then said: "Yesterday, Wang Baoguo died. I was just guessing." He sighed, picked up the bullet on the table, then put it down again, and said slowly, "Seeing this bullet, I'm sure, it's really you... Uncle Ye, you did it." "You..." Ye Yuanchao's eyes widened, his expression was complicated, he hesitated to speak.Ye Yuanchao knows that the other party is a smart person, and he has no way to deceive the other party. Not only now, but even when this man was a teenager, every time Ye Yuanchao told a lie, he would immediately see through it, but this man But it never came out that he was lying.

The man continued to calmly say: "Wang Baoguo didn't kill people, but he killed people indirectly. He didn't deserve to die, but he deserved to die as well. Do you understand what I mean? Uncle Ye, you are a good person, good people shouldn't suffer so much injustice , A good person shouldn’t be burdened so much, and a good person shouldn’t kill someone, even if it’s a bastard.” The man walked straight over and picked up Ye Yuanchao's bag. Ye Yuanchao stood there dumbly and did not stop him. The man took out a gun and bullets from his bag, put them on the table, and smiled plainly: "This toy is too dangerous, I will keep it for you for now. Uncle Ye, you are a good person, don't think about it anymore." He Showing a gentle smile, he stretched out his hand to hold Ye Yuanchao's shoulder, and patted it lightly, "From now on, leave everything to me."

The man's smile was calm and calm, but Ye Yuanchao was full of contradictions. They talked for hours that night. At this time, Gao Dong, the leader of the task force, would never have dreamed that he was about to meet his strongest opponent since he was a police officer.
