Although it was only mid-October, it still didn't feel particularly cold during the day, but at night, the strong winds from the swordsman rushed directly to people, which was still quite uncomfortable.
Luck was relatively good on the first night. After marching for six hours, everyone came across a simple sheepfold built by a shepherd on the edge of a hill.
At this time, the sheepfold is empty, with no people and no sheep. It can be used to block the wind, so that at least you can have a peaceful sleep.
Although it was the first time that Chen Shu and Yu Maiken met, they cooperated very well. They agreed that the two of them plus Team Zhao would take turns keeping vigil outside the sheepfold. Dozens of members of the special investigation team and others insisted on following.
Xiaoqiang and others who came over were sleeping inside.
After all, it's still warm inside.
However, the two still had a small dispute over whether to light the bonfire, which ended in the victory of the local Yumai Ken.
Yumaken added some firewood to the bonfire, and the fire creaked and burned: "Officer Chen, don't worry, those 'rats' don't have the guts to come back. They will only bully the defenseless people."
They have a favorable impression of Chen Shu and Yumai Ken. For local police like them, catching the murderer and killing K is the right thing to do and they are used to it.
Most of the police officers who come to support from inland and coastal cities stay for a year and a half and then leave. They only need to help others to share their duties. The local police have to do the dangerous work themselves.
One is uneasiness, fearing that an accident may occur due to lack of experience; the other is embarrassment, after all, this is their own hometown.
This is an unspoken understanding between the police in both places.
Although Yumaken was born as an orphan, she now has someone she wants to protect, and she also wants to give her a safe and happy environment in the future.
Therefore, this policeman from a coastal city who was just here for investigation actually took the initiative to join their frontline search team. You must know that what they are facing now are K- elements armed with firearms and killing people without blinking an eye, so Yumaken still admires him.
.
When I had the opportunity to ask Lao Zhao, I heard that this guy was also a ruthless character in the East China Sea. Yumaikan gave him a cigarette.
"SWAT?"
Chen Shu took the cigarette, took out a lighter and lit it for the two of them: "Special Police."
Yumaken took a big sip and waited for a long time before spitting it out: "I heard that the police over there have two days off on weekends?"
Chen Shu thought of the first-level duties that had been released frequently in recent times, and thought about it: "At least one day a week. But if you include the compensatory time off on duty, you can still make up two days."
"Can I still have one day off while on duty?" Yumaken's eyes flashed behind the smoke, a little surprised.
"How can I stand it after staying up late and not taking a day off?"
"Yes, we also give you a rest here, but it's just a time to sleep."
"Sorry." Chen Shu said in a sincere tone.
There followed a long period of silence, while the fire crackled and burned.
"Team Jade, I heard from Captain Zhao that you were offered a reward of one million US dollars abroad. You are an Internet celebrity with this size." Chen Shu joked, trying to break the dull atmosphere.
Yumaken chuckled, stretched out his right hand, and fisted several times with the palm of his hand upward: "A murderous Internet celebrity? It doesn't sound like a good thing."
"But... tell me... what it feels like to kill someone... will you be able to sleep at night..."
Chen Shu suddenly thought of Lao A, the fugitive murderer he killed with his own hands years ago, and complicated emotions flooded into his heart.
He felt that since then, he seemed to have become a different person than before, a bit strange. This feeling was especially strong in the dead of night.
You will have palpitations, fear, and confusion.
Chen Shu followed Yu's example and held out his shooting right hand in front of his eyes, holding it one at a time, one at a time.
Oh, here is this hand covered in blood.
Wilderness, bonfire, quiet night, Chen Shu's casual words, which were actually just questions to himself, made both parties even more embarrassed.
"Those who cannot give up anything will ultimately be unable to change anything."
Yumaiken dropped the cigarette on the ground, raised his foot and stamped it out with a "pop", and then his tone became brisk: "I heard that the police over there don't carry guns when they go out?"
"Well, in our place, we all feel that carrying a gun around is a burden. Except for our special police who need armed patrols, other police officers rarely carry guns."
"It's a great place. I'm a little envious."
The firelight reflected Yumaken's face, and the shadows were shaking.
He smashed his mouth and added a lot of firewood to the campfire, and the temporary camp suddenly became brighter.
Chen Shu pointed at the increasingly brighter fire and said angrily: "Captain Jade, can you even sleep here? If the Krypton elements come over under the cover of night, wouldn't we all be doomed?"
Yumaken took out the flip pocket watch from his pocket, opened and closed it, opened and closed it, squinted his eyes and looked at the dark Gobi outside the sheepfold, and said with a smile: "You can sleep well, otherwise how can you have the strength tomorrow?"
Catching mice?”
He is a ruthless man. Chen Shu hung the cigarette on his ear, stood up and stretched: "You are right, I have to be energetic enough to work tomorrow."
"Good night."
"Good night."
In the early morning, it was still dark.
Chen Shu, who was sleeping at the door of the sheepfold, pressed the beeping alarm on his mobile phone, got up and went to change shifts with Yumaken, who was on night duty, under the big tree not far away.
Yumaikan took back his pocket watch, took his sleeping bag and slept directly under the tree.
Although it wasn't particularly warm at the entrance to the sheepfold, it was at least better protected from the wind than under the big tree. Chen Shu was surprised and was about to give some advice, but he didn't expect that Yumaken had already turned over and started snoring loudly.
"Creak, creak, creak."
Following the sound of footsteps, Wang Hao walked over and sat on the edge facing Chen Shu's curious eyes.
"I can't sleep, so I came here to chat with you. Do you mind?"
Chen Shu imitated Yumaken's actions and threw a few pieces of wood into the bonfire: "Excited?"
"Scared."
Seeing that Chen Shu was a little surprised, Wang Hao shrugged and said helplessly: "I'm not one of them, how could I not be afraid? You just came here and don't know the situation here. It's quite common for the police to kill people. Just stay alive.
They get used to it."
Chen Shu fell silent.
Wang Hao raised his chin towards the place where Yumai Ken slept: "Do you know why this guy sleeps outside? In fact, he is worried that we can't keep up the night! Hey, it's a life of wasted work!"
"Ahem." The sound from the sleeping bag suddenly turned from snoring to coughing.
Wang Hao was happy and continued to gossip about the captain of the special agent: "This guy is also a man who doesn't want his life. Just last month, he had a fight with someone. The bullet penetrated his left arm and left chest, breaking three ribs.
One of them was inserted into his left lung!"
He raised his hand and made a three sign: "3 centimeters, the bullet is only 3 centimeters away from the heart, otherwise it would be a game over. Haha, I have only been in the hospital for a month and am working in the fields. I don't know what to worry about."
"Hey, are you afraid that the earth will stop spinning if you are not here?" Wang Hao shouted the last sentence directly at Yumaken, with a look of disdain on his face.
Yumaiken ignored him.
Wang Hao calmed down and took out a small object made of yellow cloth from his arms, caressing it carefully. It looked like an amulet or something like that.
Chen Shu threw a piece of firewood into the bonfire, and the flames suddenly became strong. The dusk-colored firelight illuminated the silent three people, flickering.
