The inner courtyard of Dongzhuang Police Station was empty. In the huge courtyard, only Hong Yanwu stood under the big elm tree in front of him. At this time, in the director's office in front of him to the right, a fierce battle was going on.
debate. The outcome will determine whether he will be detained in the police station overnight.
Hong Yanwu really didn't expect that things would evolve to this point.
After learning about Hong Yanwu's family background, the "grandson" deputy director firmly opposed writing a letter of praise. What was even more unexpected was that You San actually took the opportunity to bite back and said that Hong Yanwu was also a "Buddha" because of his relationship with them.
He reported them after fighting for the target. He also said that Hong Yanwu helped handle the case, but he was actually using the public security organs to carry out gangster revenge.
The police and workers' militia couldn't help but burst into an uproar after hearing this. Fortunately, Director Qin quickly asked the workers' militia to lock up all the prisoners, and You San, a troublemaker, could not make things more chaotic.
But the thief took one bite and was deeply hurt. Although You San was taken away, what he said gave Deputy Director Sun an excuse to cause trouble. Deputy Director Sun just used this as an excuse to order the detention of Hong Yanwu, and also claimed to be careful.
Examination and discrimination must not allow a criminal to slip through under the eyes of the people's police.
The policemen looked at each other in confusion. At this time, they were all in trouble. Should they arrest Hong Yanwu? He was obviously a meritorious officer, and he saved his comrades with practical actions. Shouldn't he arrest him? What You San said has both nose and eyes. It is difficult to tell whether it is true or not. Besides, Deputy Sun
The director also used Hong Yanwu's family background as an excuse. If he disobeyed orders, he might be put on the line and slapped with a label.
Seeing that something was not going well, Zhao Zhenmin asked Director Qin for help with his eyes. But Director Qin just shook his head helplessly. The most annoying thing was that when Deputy Director Sun saw this situation, he deliberately made trouble and asked Zhao Zhenmin to go to him personally.
Hong Yanwu was handcuffed.
Zhao Zhenmin was dumbfounded. He had no choice but to resort to a crooked trick - pretending to be stunned.
Zhao Zhenmin was not afraid of embarrassment. He sat down on the ground, hugged the right leg of a policeman next to him and screamed. He claimed that he had been hit on the head by criminals when he was arresting people. Now the injury occurred and it was a concussion.
However, this trick was so fake that everyone could tell that it was just a fake. The policemen almost burst out laughing, and Deputy Director Sun was so angry. But Zhao Zhenmin had indeed just caught a thief, and he was shameless in going all out to take this.
As an excuse, there's really nothing you can do with him.
Deputy Director Sun rubbed his hands for a long time, but he could only keep the small account in mind for the time being, and then ordered Da Liu to handcuff Hong Yanwu.
To say that Da Liu was more unjust, he got into trouble out of thin air without provoking anyone. He was handcuffed, right? I feel sorry for my brother. But if he disobeys orders? He can't lose face and imitate Zhao Zhenmin's pretense. If the two aspects are weighed, Da Liu is full.
After giving Zhao Zhenmin an apologetic look, he could only reluctantly carry out the order.
While watching, Hong Yanwu was also aware of this. When he saw that Zhao Zhenmin would rather cheat in public than handcuff him, he was surprised and moved. Although this kind of passive resistance could not help him, he could not help but appreciate his feelings. Therefore,
When Da Liu took out the handcuffs, he already stretched out his hands consciously. He felt that Zhao Zhenmin was a trustworthy person, and even because of this "situation" (a slang term for being righteous, upright, and observing the rules), he did not intend to look for him again.
trouble.
However, just when Hong Yanwu was about to accept his fate, no one could have imagined that a figure would walk out from behind him without warning and push away Da Liu's hand holding the handcuffs.
It’s him! It’s actually Xing Zhengyi, who had been silent just now!
Hong Yanwu was stunned at that time.
Xing Zhengyi is really reckless. After stopping Da Liu, in order to avenge Hong Yanwu, he fired at Deputy Director Sun while everyone was stunned. Those unceremonious questions directly poked at Deputy Director Sun.
Angered by Deputy Director Sun, the two had a violent quarrel.
Hong Yanwu naturally didn't know that Xing Zhengyi had a record of being louder than the leader. Moreover, he always felt that Zhao Zhenmin should be closer to him among the two policemen. Xing Zhengyi seemed not to like him very much. Therefore, he didn't want to
I don't understand why this cold-faced policeman would defend him so unscrupulously, even directly confronting his superiors without any future prospects, and doing something that even Zhao Zhenmin wouldn't dare to do.
Seeing that the conflict was intensifying, things were about to get out of hand. At the critical moment, it was Director Qin who yelled to calm the two people who were confronting each other. Then, Director Qin turned cold and asked them all to shut up and go to the office to talk.
.
After all, Director Qin is a full-time director and a veteran policeman who has been working for more than ten years. With such a sullen face, he is really not angry and intimidating.
So, Deputy Director Sun first walked into the director's office with a livid face. Then, under Zhao Zhenmin's persuasion, Xing Zhengyi followed with a fierce face. Then, everyone, including Zhao Zhenmin, wanted to stay and watch the fun.
All the irrelevant personnel were scared away by Director Qin's glare. Finally, Director Qin himself, after looking at Hong Yanwu and sighing, also walked into the office.
In this way, Hong Yanwu was left alone outside, standing alone under the tree waiting for treatment.
The discussion was heated from the beginning. After Director Qin entered the room, the quarrel between Xing Zhengyi and Deputy Director Sun was soon heard in the room.
Hong Yanwu had been staring at the green-painted wooden door of the director's office. However, due to the reflection of the glass window and the steam caused by the fire in the room, he could not see clearly what was going on inside. Fortunately, the sound of the argument was loud, the yard was clean, and the people in the room were
The conversation can be heard clearly.
"Director Sun, I just can't figure it out. Why do you object to writing a letter of praise to Hong Yanwu? Why do you want to arrest the people who helped us?"
Xing Zhengyi's voice was still cold, but when Hong Yanwu heard it, his ears felt warm.
"Isn't this obvious? He has a criminal record and a high profile, so how can he have any good intentions? You have all been taken advantage of. According to me, this Hong Hewu must be detained and investigated carefully. I don't know what happened.
?Okay, let's talk slowly, we'll take care of the food here..."
This person has a girlish little voice, and what he says is fucked up, so he is naturally Deputy Director Sun.
"Hong Yanwu is a member of the Communist Party of China."
"De-education personnel? Then why were they detained in the first place?"
"Are there not many people who have been poisoned by '******'? Many people have contracted some bad habits. Besides, he has been reformed now..."
"No matter how you say it, it's just scrap iron from casting, rotten bricks from the kiln."
"He is not scrap metal or rotten bricks, he is a human being, a human being, a human being!"
Xing Zhengyi suddenly shouted excitedly. The sad voice was obviously feeling aggrieved for Hong Yanwu. But Deputy Director Sun, not to be outdone, got angry and slapped the table and started shouting. After that, Director Qin came
A voice full of majesty ordered the two emotionally out-of-control people to calm down.
All these movements reached Hong Yanwu's ears, and Xing Zhengyi's indignant words on his behalf made his heart burn hot.
He couldn't help but think of Xing Zhengyi's appreciative look when he knocked You San upright.
Is this just because he helped catch You San today? Is it a congenial feeling or a repayment of kindness? Or is it an impulsive act of righteousness? Is this kid stupid and bold, or does he really not care?
Surprised, puzzled, admired, moved, gratified, all kinds of complex and difficult feelings emerged from Hong Yanwu's heart...
After a few minutes of brief calm, Deputy Director Sun's playful voice came out of the room again.
"Comrade Xing Zhengyi, from now on we can reason with each other and stop getting excited, okay?"
"Then please speak, I am all ears." Xing Zhengyi's voice was not high, but the temperature was below zero, and his antagonism was still obvious.
"I find that there is something wrong with your ideological stance. If you continue like this, you will make serious mistakes..."
"Wrong? Hong Yanwu helped us. If we don't believe him, should we still believe You San?"
"Of course it is." Deputy Director Sun's voice suddenly became very high, and he spoke as if it were a matter of course. "Maybe you think that the person who helped you is a good person, but I want to ask you, is it true what You San said?
Isn’t there any possibility? I just think what he said is quite reasonable. From the perspective of family background, You San is more worthy of our trust..."
You don’t have to listen to what happened next, you can guess it. Hong Yanwu couldn’t help but feel aggrieved and angry. After all, he was helping the police catch thieves, but in the eyes of Deputy Director Sun, he didn’t even think about You San.
He is worse than any real criminal. Isn't it just because he is a labor camp inmate and a "bastard" of the capitalists?
He has seen too many people like this who just treat him as rubbish based on mere assumptions. This kind of bastard is like his enemy for thousands of years. He will always judge him as guilty. Even if it is found out whether he has merit or not.
I will also say that he was wrong.
People like them always feel that even if he stays at home, he will be thinking about doing bad things all day long. They conclude that he is born to do bad things, so it is natural for him to be suspected. Of course they can
You can teach him whatever you want and tell him what he should and shouldn't do.
All those warnings, admonitions, suspicions and precautions are designed to control him. "Stretch out your hands", "crouch down to the wall", "tell the truth", these words are all prepared for him. Even if it is the wrong one
It doesn't matter if you kill him, he won't have any objection anyway, and he has nowhere to protest.
Hong Yanwu seemed to be able to clearly see the self-righteous dignity of the "grandson" deputy director in the room. He spat at the door angrily.
The conversation in the room continued, and Xing Zhengyi was obviously a little angry, and his words came out straight.
"Don't always make excuses based on You San's words. That's purely a frame-up. He is the real gangster. This is confusing black and white!"
Deputy Director Sun was unhappy when he heard this, "What did you say? In the face of big issues such as right and wrong, how come you can't tell the difference between us and the enemy? I think there is something wrong with your position, and you must carefully review your thinking. I also tell you
, don’t think that just because you have made meritorious deeds, you can ignore your leadership. Just because you protect a gangster like this, I can ruin your future!”
The last voice screamed a shrew. Hong Yanwu outside couldn't help but worry. This old boy seemed to be really annoyed. What if Xing Zhengyi loses his future? He can't afford such a big debt of gratitude.
"Old Sun, why bother? This guy Xing Zhengyi is a coward. Don't be like him! Let's calm down first..."
Director Qin's voice finally sounded in the room, and Hong Yanwu felt slightly relieved.
In his heart, although Director Qin couldn't handle Deputy Director Sun and was a bit cowardly, he had long felt that Director Qin was a good person and would never leave Xing Zhengyi alone.
Why do you say that?
Of course, based on the respect that Xing Zhengyi and Zhao Zhenmin have for Director Qin, those who deserve their respect are naturally not bad people. What's more, when Director Qin turned around and looked at him before entering the office, his eyes were full of pity and pity, which immediately reminded him of Xue
Uncle, maybe the old police officers all have something in common, or maybe they are simply the same kind of person.
"...Old Sun, you really don't have the knowledge of a child. Otherwise, according to your opinion, I won't give you a letter of praise until everything is clear. But let's let that Hong Yanwu go. Although he is a labor camp prisoner
, but the problem is that he has a certificate of liberation from religion. He returned to Beijing according to regulations and did not escape. If he is detained in this way, what will happen if it is found out that he is fine? According to me, Hong Yanwu
His actions can still illustrate his attitude towards reform. If others ask, the reason for his detention is actually because he helped our police handle the case, which would be even more ridiculous..."
Hong Yanwu continued to listen. As expected, Director Qin not only helped Xing Zhengyi smooth things over, but also spoke for him. Unfortunately, things went counterproductive. Although Director Qin sincerely wanted to use reasoning to solve the problem, Deputy Director Sun seemed to have misunderstood
Sorry, I didn't allow him to say any more.
"Stop talking, that's enough, that's enough! Lao Qin, Lao Qin, you let Xing Zhengyi set off firecrackers with me in the front, and you pretended to be putting out fires in the back and pretending to be a good guy, and you want to play tricks on me again like you did at noon? Tell you, don't even think about it.
Take advantage of Captain Tian's absence to launch a surprise attack for me. You two cooperate quite well, but I won't fall for your deception this time."
Deputy Director Sun's sudden harsh words made Director Qin silent for a moment.
This was not over yet. Deputy Director Sun seemed to no longer care about the quarrel and continued to yell viciously. "Don't go around the policy with me. I am better than you, Qin Xing, in playing this. Why do you have a good attitude towards reform? Let me do it."
Let me tell you, only fools like you would think that gangsters can be reformed!"
"Who are you scolding, Sun?" Xing Zhengyi was angry because Director Qin was humiliated, and he immediately became anxious.
There was no answer.
Immediately after the sound of "bump", the office door was pushed open hard. Amidst the trembling of the glass, the scolded Deputy Director Sun rushed out of the director's office with anger on his face. But right there
Just when he was about to lower his head and walk down the steps, he saw Hong Yanwu under the tree, but stopped again.
Deputy Director Sun only glanced at Hong Yanwu, and the frown in his eyes was full of contempt and contempt. Then, as if he remembered something, he immediately turned around and shouted towards the office. "I'm warning you one last time,
Not only can’t I write a letter of praise, I can’t let him go either. If you dare to go your own way, you’ll have to bear the consequences when Captain Tian comes back!”
After saying that, he ignored Xing Zhengyi's anger and turned around to leave. When he passed by Hong Yanwu, he even snorted with disdain.
In this way, Hong Yanwu watched Deputy Director Sun leave. It was not until he walked out of the yard for a long time that he let out a long sigh of relief, as if he wanted to expel all the depression in his chest.
To be honest, he really pinched his thigh just now to hold back from convulsing and peeling off the skin of this old boy on the spot and strangling him to death.
When I was humiliated just now, if anyone said that he had any broad-minded and far-sighted thoughts such as "If you want to make progress, you need to think about regressing, and if you start before you let go," or "endure humiliation and bear the burden, and seek extension through humiliation," that would be fart!
He is simply swallowing his anger now!
But what can he do if he can't bear it? Even if Deputy Director Sun didn't exist, there would be other similar people who treated him like this, and there would be such people everywhere.
To be honest, he had already seen it clearly. When Liu wanted to handcuff him, he didn't feel much guilt towards him, and other people were not unhappy seeing him like this. Ever since he learned about his family background
, except for Xing Zhengyi, Zhao Zhenmin and Director Qin, the enthusiasm of the entire Dongzhuang Police Station towards him no longer exists, and most of them have turned into an attitude that it has nothing to do with them.
This is the limitation of this era, and there is nothing he can do about it. Family background is so powerful that it can pin people into the ranks of a certain special group of people. As long as he carries this unlucky family background, he can only continue to do so.
He will continue to be unlucky. What's more, he is also a "double material" with a "high composition", which is enough for him to enjoy any unreasonable and unfair "special treatment".
Hong Yanwu could not help but smile bitterly. His current thoughts and feelings were incompatible with this era, but he was still destined to be restricted by certain laws of this era. Faced with this situation, the only thing he could do was to surrender with peace of mind.
Surrendered prisoners.
Yes, he was grateful from the bottom of his heart to Xing Zhengyi for speaking up and Director Qin for protecting him. But there must be nothing they can do now, right? Are they still making things difficult for him? How long will he be imprisoned? Five
Days or ten days?
I really didn't expect that he would have to stay in the cell for a few days before going home. This was probably his retribution for helping "Leizi".
It's so ridiculous that he wants a letter of praise as a talisman for his whim.
But who’s to blame? He deserves it all.
Suddenly, the chirping sparrows on the trees and eaves touched a nerve and soared into the sky.
Hong Yanwu raised his head when he heard the sound and watched the sparrows spread their wings and fly away gradually. He gradually became fascinated.
At this time, there was silence in the courtyard. Except for the branches blown by the wind and the white clouds in the sky, only the smoke coming out of the chimneys of each house was slowly moving...
