In the corridor of the cell, a patrolman in police uniform came up with an oil lamp, stopped in front of a dark cell door, knocked on the door with his baton, and shouted into the door.
.
In the dimly lit corner of the cell behind the door, a dirty figure wearing prison uniform moved when he heard the voice. He turned his head mechanically and looked towards the door. The patrolman also raised his oil lamp and pointed it at the figure inside the cell.
A photo was taken, revealing a haggard and dirty face covered with stubble. There were even bruises on the corners of the eyes, mouth and other places on the face, showing obvious signs of being beaten.
It was Xu Wenqiang who turned out to be Xu Wenqiang, but he looked very miserable at this moment, his body was dirty, his face was covered with bruises, and the prison uniform on his body was directly torn in many places, revealing streaks of blood that had been whipped by whips.
There were bloodstains on his body, his breath was weak, and his eyes looked hollow and lifeless. The whole person looked like he had lost his soul. If he hadn't moved a bit, he might even have been dead.
In fact, at this moment, Xu Wenqiang was almost as if he had lost his soul. He was extremely depressed. On that day, under Gao Qi's instruction, he organized students to attack the Beiyang Government. The final result was so tragic that it was completely beyond Xu Wenqiang's imagination and endurance. The Beiyang Government
Iron-blooded methods were used to suppress him, and more than a dozen students died that day, lying in a pool of blood. He was also captured and tortured.
This period of time was like being in hell for Xu Wenqiang, because for him, what he had to endure was not only the physical torture, pain and destruction, but what was even more painful was the mental torture, the pain in his heart, because that
Among the people who died on that day was Xiaodong, who was also the one he loved most. He was hit on the Tianling Gai with a baton by someone from the Beiyang government that day and died on the spot.
Even in the end, he couldn't even help collect the corpse or even take a second look at it, because he was directly taken into a cell, tortured every day, and never saw the light of day.
Xu Wenqiang's movements were stiff, his expression was sluggish, and his eyes were dull and even a little hollow. He looked like a walking corpse that had lost its soul.
"Bang! Xu Wenqiang, get up, stop looking, someone is here to see you."
Seeing Xu Wenqiang's unresponsive and even foolish look, the patrolman knocked on the cell door again with his baton.
Just at this moment, a burst of footsteps and conversations came from the cell entrance.
"Mr. Lin, the prison is dirty and messy, and the air is foul and smelly. There is no need for Mr. Lin to come to a place like this in person. If you want anyone, just give me an order, Mr. Lin, and I will ask the people below to bring him directly."
First there was the voice of a slightly flattering middle-aged man, and then there was another voice.
"Director Zhou is too polite."
The sound is crisp, looks very young, the sound is pleasant, very distinctive and resolution, and it sounds very comfortable.
In the cell, when Xu Wenqiang, who had a dull face and dull eyes, heard this voice, he felt as if he had been shocked by an electric shock for a moment. His whole body trembled, and his empty eyes suddenly regained their vitality. He raised his head and looked at the source of the sound at the door.
go.
At the entrance of the cell passage, several figures also walked in, led by a meticulous middle-aged man wearing a suit and combed back hair, who was smiling and even accompanied a young man who looked to be in his twenties with a bit of flattery.
Come on, the young man is extremely handsome, especially his temperament, which is so outstanding that it is difficult to ignore.
Behind the two men were six men, two of whom were wearing smart clothes and had a restrained and fierce aura about them, while the remaining four were all patrolmen in police uniforms.
"Director!"
When the patrolman at the door saw a group of people approaching, he straightened up and saluted the middle-aged man who was leading the way.
When the middle-aged man heard the sound, he didn't pay much attention to the patrolman. Instead, he kept smiling with the young man. He didn't turn his head and shouted at the patrolman until he reached the door of the room.
"Why are you still standing here? Why don't you open the door quickly?"
The patrolman didn't dare to make any mistakes when he heard this, so he quickly responded and quickly took out the key to open the door.
At this time, Xu Wenqiang, who was in the cell, also saw the person coming at the door of the cell, his eyes fell on the young man blankly, and he spoke quietly.
"Lin, Mr. Lin!"
Xu Wenqiang looked at the visitor with a kind of surprise in his tone, and a hint of inexplicable complexity.
The visitor was none other than Lin Tianqi.
In an instant, Xu Wenqiang felt mixed feelings in his heart, and some memories from the past appeared in his mind involuntarily, from the first encounter with Lin Tianqi in Peking, to the rescue of himself and Xiaodong by Lin Tianqi, to the second time with Lin Tianqi on campus.
When they met, Lin Tianqi told him what he said, and advised him not to engage in student movements again...
Memories came in like a tide. When the truth was bittersweet, Xu Wenqiang even had the urge to cry. A huge regret and memory swept through his heart at the same time.
Lin Tianqi also looked at Xu Wenqiang, but his heart was relatively calm, and he smiled slightly.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
It's like saying hello to an acquaintance or friend you haven't seen for a long time.
"Okay, long time no see."
Xu Wenqiang also responded, but his voice was a little stiff.
Seeing this, Lin Tianqi smiled at Xu Wenqiang again, then turned to look at the middle-aged man beside him.
"Director Zhou, this person is my friend. I wonder if I can be accommodating."
The middle-aged man was none other than the current director of the Peking Police Department. Hearing this, he immediately laughed and said.
"Of course. Since he is Mr. Lin's friend, why not be accommodating? Just take Mr. Lin away."
The middle-aged man smiled quickly, his tone and face full of apology. However, after Lin Tianqi came to Peiping, he thought of Xu Wenqiang and said hello to Lao Jiang directly. When the veteran found out, he also directly called the police department
The director issued the order. Naturally, after receiving the news, the director of the police department also tried every means to please Lin Tianqi.
"Then I'll trouble Director Zhou."
Lin Tianqi also said politely, and then said to Li Qiang and Li Debiao behind him.
"You two go help Wen Qiang out, and we'll leave."
"good."
Li Qiang and Li Debiao immediately walked in and responded, then brought Xu Wenqiang out from the corner.
"Thank you Mr. Lin."
After Xu Wenqiang was brought out by the two men, he walked to the door, looked at Lin Tianqi again and said with a grateful expression, but also a bit complicated.
"You're welcome, let's go out first and then talk."
Lin Tianqi laughed, then winked at Li Qiang and Li Debiao, asking them to take Xu Wenqiang out first, then looked at the middle-aged man and said.
"I would like to thank Director Zhou for this matter. I have something else to do, so I will leave first. I will invite Director Zhou to tea when I have the opportunity."
"Mr. Lin is so irritating. It takes a little effort, a little effort..."
The middle-aged man said politely.
Lin Tianqi immediately smiled politely, and then walked out of the cell without saying another word.
........................................
A little while ago, four people were sitting together in a private room of a hotel in Peiping.
"I already know everything about you."
In the box by the window, Lin Tianqi looked at Xu Wenqiang and said. At this moment, Xu Wenqiang had already taken a shower and changed his clothes. He had also found a doctor to apply medicine to the wounds on his body. He looked much cleaner and more energetic, but his face
The bruises on his face didn't disappear in a short time, and he still looked a little embarrassed and eye-catching.
After hearing Lin Tianqi's words, Xu Wenqiang was a little silent. It took him a while before he spoke, barely able to utter a word.
"Thank you Mr. Lin."
Lin Tianqi didn't take it seriously when he saw this, knowing how Xu Wenqiang was feeling at the moment.
"You're welcome." Lin Tianqi smiled and waved his hand, then said: "What are your plans next?"
Xu Wenqiang shook his head and said in a sad tone.
"I don't know yet. I want to go see Xiaodong and those classmates first."
Lin Tianqi also nodded when he heard this, and then said.
"Well, that's fine. Let's separate later. I still have things to do. After that, I will leave Peiping. If I don't want to stay in the north anymore and don't have anything specific I want to do, I might as well
Come to my place for help. I'm in Guangzhou now. If you want to find me, just go to Guangzhou and ask Qilin Club to report my name."
Xu Wenqiang looked slightly startled when he heard this, raised his head and looked at Lin Tianqi, then nodded.
"Mr. Schelling values it, and I will remember it."
Lin Tianqi nodded immediately after hearing this, without saying more, and did not directly invite Xu Wenqiang or anything. Although Xu Wenqiang was excellent and he appreciated it, he did not reach the level of desire. For Xu Wenqiang, Lin Tianqi just got me.
Fortunately, I have the attitude of losing my life. If you can help me, I will help you. If I can use it for my own use, I will use it for my own use. If I can't, I won't ask for more.
And he also knew that Xu Wenqiang was still in a state of deep sadness, so he probably didn't have anything else to do at this time.
"You take the money first, you will need it later. I will leave first if I have something else to do. If you decide to help me, come to Guangzhou."
Finally, we sat in the hotel for a while. After eating, Lin Tianqi stood up and said, took out another money bag and handed it to Xu Wenqiang, and then left.
Xu Wenqiang held the money bag and looked at the direction Lin Tianqi left and pondered for a while, then bowed deeply to Lin Tianqi's back.
