Mountain Village Massacre, Train Murder Case Chapter 44: Alive
Just when Xu Lang and Ning Yanran walked out of the forensic autopsy room and arrived at the Second Criminal Investigation Team, a young man wearing casual clothes, with a well-proportioned figure, dark skin, and a wisp of beard on his chin rushed in from outside.
The police officers of the Second Criminal Investigation Team who were working were shocked.
When the man saw the white-haired Xu Lang standing next to Ning Yanran, the man's eyes were very complicated. Apart from shock and surprise, he was more happy and happy from the bottom of his heart. He took three steps
Taking two steps together, he walked quickly to Xu Lang's side, stretched out a big hand, and slapped Xu Lang's shoulder hard. Then he turned his palm into a fist and punched Xu Lang's chest hard. His eyes turned red.
He looked at Xu Lang and cursed fiercely: "You kid, damn, you still know how to come back."
Xu Lang's chest was punched hard by the man. He took two steps back slightly, then stood firm, raised his hand, rubbed his sore chest, shook his head helplessly with a wry smile, and said: "
Did your kid have steak for lunch? Why are you so energetic?"
The man who drove back in a hurry after learning that Ning Yanran had brought a man with white hair to the Public Security Bureau was none other than Xu Lang's most trusted companion and partner. He was Du Ziqiao.
After Du Ziqiao's incident five years ago, after Xu Lang left, he returned to the public security system and served as the captain of the Second Criminal Investigation Team. In fact, according to the abilities of Du Ziqiao's family, he could actually develop better.
, such as going to the province to do a clerical job, or becoming the deputy director of the public security bureau, and then relying on time to polish it, step by step to climb up, but Du Ziqiao did not choose to do this, and Du Ziqiao's father also
There was no such arrangement, so Du Ziqiao returned to work at Xu Lang's previous position.
In the years when Xu Lang was away, Du Ziqiao led the Criminal Investigation Team to solve one major murder case after another. He was called the new police detective of S City by those good guys, a rising police star.
However, Du Ziqiao never thought so. In his heart, Xu Lang would always do much better than what he did.
Of course, within the public security system, many people who know Xu Lang's deeds will always compare Xu Lang and Du Ziqiao. They find that Du Ziqiao is often similar to Xu Lang in many places.
Whether it's the way they handle cases or the way they do things, many people see this situation but don't say anything.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
The two people said in unison.
"How are you?"
"how are you?"
The two people asked in unison again.
Then the two people looked at each other, and then burst into laughter. This confused the members of the Second Criminal Investigation Team who were working. Only a few old members of the Second Criminal Investigation Team knew what was going on, and
Everyone else was speculating, what happened to the captain today, why is he so happy? Who is that white-haired man? Why is he standing next to Deputy Director Ning? Could it be that he is someone newly sent by his superiors?
Important leadership?
However, they had not heard any news before, nor had they heard that this year's leadership team was going to be changed. So, after looking at each other in confusion, they all looked at Xu Lang and Xu Lang who were hugging each other tightly.
Du Ziqiao.
After a while, Xu Lang suddenly patted Du Ziqiao hard on the back and cursed angrily: "Let go."
"what?"
"You fucking are going to choke me to death."
"Aren't you dead yet?"
"You're going to die if you don't let go of me."
"Who made you disappear for so long? It's been five years since you left, and you still haven't contacted me. If it hadn't been for Mr. Lu's incident this time, wouldn't you have planned to come back?"
"Can you let go of me first?"
"Then tell me first, will you leave this time?"
"I'm not leaving."
When Du Ziqiao heard Xu Lang say that he wasn't leaving, he let go of Xu Lang's arms and looked at Xu Lang who was blushing because he was strangling him. He burst out laughing and said with a smile: "This
We haven’t seen each other for just a few years, and you won’t be able to do anything anymore.”
Xu Lang rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Whether I can do it or not is not up to you. How about we find a place to compete?"
Du Ziqiao shook his head and said, "Not today, let's change."
These two people who attended and graduated from the police academy together are each other's most trusted partners and best partners. After five years, they finally reunited.
After Ning Yanran saw Xu Lang and Du Ziqiao finishing their greetings, she looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Do you want to tell them the news about your return now?"
Xu Lang frowned, thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "I guess many people already know the news about my return. There is no need to hide anything."
Hearing what Xu Lang said, Ning Yanran nodded, then clapped her hands and called over the people from the Second Criminal Investigation Team who were watching the excitement.
With the sound of moving chairs, more than a dozen people from the Second Criminal Investigation Team put down their work and gathered together. Then they looked at Ning Yanran and Du Ziqiao, but they looked more at Xu Lang.
Xu Lang looked at this group of young boys and girls. He was in a trance for a moment. It seemed that he remembered that many years ago, he had just graduated from the police academy and came to the Criminal Investigation Department.
What he looked like when he was reporting on the team. There was actually no difference between him at that time and the people standing in front of him now. They were all so young, so energetic, and full of fighting spirit. However, as time went by,
As time went by, many things happened, and Xu Lang's passion gradually became dull.
Among these people, Xu Lang didn't know many people. Except for Du Ziqiao and Lu Xing, the captain and deputy captain of the Second Criminal Investigation Team, the only one left was Lao Kaige.
They are new members of the Second Criminal Investigation Team. Of course, for many people, these people who are new to Xu Lang are no longer newcomers. After all, the Second Criminal Investigation Team is the most direct criminal investigation team under the S City Public Security Bureau.
Yes, it is the same as the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Provincial Public Security Department.
After everyone gathered together, Ning Yanran said: "You must be curious about who he is. Captain Du and I are so familiar with him, I know what you are guessing, but you don't need to guess, I will tell you directly
Let me tell you the answer, his name is Xu Lang, he is the criminal investigation consultant of S City Public Security Bureau, I don’t need to introduce the others, I believe you all know it."
"Wow..."
As Ning Yanran finished speaking, everyone at the scene showed shocked expressions. They looked at Xu Lang with wide eyes, as if they were looking at an elephant in the zoo, which made Xu Lang speechless.
Perhaps, for other people, the name Xu Lang has long become a thing of the past. Especially in the past few years since Xu Lang left S City, few people have mentioned Xu Lang. Even if they mention it occasionally, it is only
Just a brief taste, no in-depth conversation. Of course, every police officer who can join the Second Criminal Investigation Team knows how brilliant the Second Criminal Investigation Team was. Not to mention the current captain Du Ziqiao, only the previous captain, and the current
Ning Yanran, deputy director of the General Bureau of Public Security, led the Criminal Investigation Team 2 to solve countless difficult cases. Of course, the reason why they came to the Criminal Investigation Team 2 was more importantly because they wanted to work with Xu Lang.
The system, or the man who was often mentioned in the police academy, learned something from him. Unfortunately, they came to the Second Criminal Investigation Team a little late and did not have the opportunity to work with Xu Lang. This made them feel very regretful.
, However, what I didn’t expect was that today this regret is no longer a regret, but is about to become a reality.
"Brother Lang."
"Hello, Brother Lang."
"Brother Lang."
"..."
After being shocked, everyone showed happy expressions. They greeted Xu Lang excitedly, and Xu Lang nodded slightly.
Ning Yanran and Du Ziqiao looked at each other, shaking their heads helplessly and smiling bitterly. They did not expect that Xu Lang would be so popular in the Second Criminal Investigation Team, whether it was when Ning Yanran was the captain of the Second Criminal Investigation Team or when Du Ziqiao took over the Second Criminal Investigation Team.
They were all a little jealous of Xu Lang. Of course, they were more happy for Xu Lang because they knew that Xu Lang was so popular in the Second Criminal Investigation Team. It was not just Xu Lang.
It is as simple as his outstanding ability, but what is more important is that Xu Lang himself is full of charm.
Xu Lang once had a saying that was widely circulated in the Second Criminal Investigation Team and even in the public security system of S City.
"If there is danger, whoever has the guts will do it himself. If you don't dare to do it yourself, don't blame others."
During Xu Lang's years in the S City Police Force, he took the lead in every mission and did the most dangerous things, including when he resigned from his post as captain of the Second Criminal Investigation Team and returned to the public security team as a criminal investigation consultant.
, the same is true. Regarding this point, Ning Yanran is very clear mentally. She knows that Xu Lang has been injured more than ten times. It is precisely because of Xu Lang's desperate spirit that the Criminal Investigation Team 2
The name is second to none in S City and is the envy of many other administrative teams.
Du Ziqiao patted Xu Lang on the shoulder and said to Xu Lang, "Just say a few words."
Ning Yanran also turned to look at Xu Lang, and the people from the Second Criminal Investigation Team also looked at Xu Lang, expecting Xu Lang to speak.
Xu Lang thought for a while and then slowly said: "Actually, I have nothing to say. I just want you to do your job well and handle the case seriously. These are just clichés. I don't want to say it, and you definitely don't want to hear it. What I want to say to you is
Yes, no matter what kind of case you encounter, ensuring the safety of yourself and the victim is the first priority. Living is more important than anything else, because only by living can you do more things. I hope that everyone in the Second Criminal Investigation Team will
Anyone can live well."
After saying this, Xu Lang turned his head and asked softly: "Let me go see Director Tian. Since I'm back, I still have to meet him after all."
Ning Yanran took a deep look at Xu Lang, nodded, and left with Xu Lang.
After Xu Lang and Ning Yanran left, the office area of the Second Criminal Investigation Team fell into silence.
Xu Lang did not say any high-sounding words, nor did he speak in an official tone. He only spoke the most common words and the simplest requests. He just asked each of them to live well. Xu Lang's tone of voice was very flat.
However, this request deeply moved everyone in the Second Criminal Investigation Team. The profession of criminal police is inherently very dangerous. Although it cannot be compared with the anti-narcotics police of the anti-drug brigade, they have casualties every year. Every year, they have casualties.
In years past, colleagues had died or been injured and had withdrawn from the public security system. Therefore, although Xu Lang's words were few, they spoke to their hearts.
Du Ziqiao looked at the reactions of his men and naturally knew that they were
What was he thinking? He turned his head and took a deep look at the direction Xu Lang left. He shook his head with deep eyes and said in his heart: "Five years have passed and you still haven't changed. You are still the same Xu Lang. Are you really
came back."
While Du Ziqiao was sighing, he also felt deeply worried. He knew what Xu Lang's return meant. Xu Lang's return meant that S City was about to become less peaceful, and those who wanted Xu Lang's death back then
People, after learning that Xu Lang is back, will definitely take action. When Xu Lang comes back this time, he will definitely stand on the forefront of the storm again and become the target of public criticism. Du Ziqiao knows that this is Xu Lang's own choice, but as a
Xu Lang's best friend and closest partner still felt deeply worried about Xu Lang, but he was powerless to do anything about the situation.
————
Ning Yanran brought Xu Lang to Director Tian Yongchun's office. Ning Yanran did not stay in the office for long. She brought Xu Lang here and left.
This was Lu Ye's old office, and now it is Tian Yongchun's office. During the years that Tian Yongchun has been working here, he has not changed many of the layouts in the room. When Xu Lang came in, he felt a strange feeling
There was a long-lost feeling of familiarity, and Tian Yongchun was sitting behind the desk, processing documents.
When Xu Lang walked in, Tian Yongchun had already raised his head from behind the desk, and their eyes met in the air.
Tian Yongchun is fifty years old this year. Perhaps because he worries about more things, he already has gray hair on his temples, which makes him look like he is aging before he is old.
After the two looked at each other for a while, Tian Yongchun stood up first, walked to Xu Lang, and said with a smile: "I'm back."
Three simple words, but they contained everything the other party wanted to say.
"Back." Xu Lang nodded and said,
Tian Yongchun took a deep look at Xu Lang, then stretched out his hand, patted Xu Lang's shoulder, and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back."
While the two were talking, they came to the sofa in the living room and sat down. Tian Yongchun personally made a cup of tea for Xu Lang and placed it in front of Xu Lang. After he sat down, he looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Criminal Investigation."
Have you met everyone from the second team?"
Xu Lang nodded and said, "I just came over there."
"How do you feel?" Tian Yongchun asked.
Xu Lang thought for a while and said: "Very good, very young, very energetic, very passionate and motivated, very good."
Tian Yongchun kept looking at Xu Lang's eyes and found that when Xu Lang said these words, his expression did not change much. Finally, his eyes fell on Xu Lang's snow-white hair, his eyes were a little dim, and then
Asked: "Why do you want to grow your hair long?"
Xu Lang followed Tian Yongchun's eyes, looked down at his hair, smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's more popular for men to have long hair now, because it attracts girls, so I kept it long."
Hearing Xu Lang's explanation, Tian Yongchun's eyes became darker and darker. He knew that this was not the reason for Xu Lang's long hair, but because Xu Lang's head had been severely injured, which forced him to grow his long hair.
, Tian Yongchun originally wanted to say something to comfort Xu Lang, but when he saw Xu Lang's dark and deep eyes, he swallowed back all the words that came to his lips, and then let out a long sigh.
, shook his head.
"Why......"
Xu Lang did not continue to stare at Tian Yongchun, but lowered his head, picked up the tea cup and started drinking tea. It seemed that he did not hear Tian Yongchun's complicated emotions. For Xu Lang, since the matter was already like this, let's talk about it.
If there are too many, it will be in vain.
After the two were silent for a while, Tian Yongchun was the first to speak: "You came back this time for Director Lu's affairs, right?"
Both Ning Yanran and Tian Yongchun are accustomed to calling Lu Ye Director Lu. It seems that everyone who knows Lu Ye is accustomed to calling him this. Only Xu Lang likes to call Lu Ye old man, or old man.
Xu Lang put down the tea cup, nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "They are back."
Tian Yongchun knew who Xu Lang was talking about. There was no one else but 'Master Chang'. Tian Yongchun's expression was also very solemn. He looked at Xu Lang and said: "Now that you know they are back, you still want to come back."
, decide to take a trip into this muddy water?"
"It is precisely because they are back that I want to come back." Xu Lang said lightly.
"Actually, you don't have to do this. The country has never given up on the investigation of 'Master Chang'. You and your Xu family have paid too much for this matter. It is enough. There is no need to do this again.
"
Xu Lang shook his head, looked at Tian Yongchun and said: "It is my duty and my mission to dig out 'Master Chang'. I know what to do."
After Tian Yongchun was silent for a long time, he raised his head, looked into Xu Lang's eyes and asked, "Have you thought about it?"
Xu Lang didn't speak, but nodded heavily.
Tian Yongchun sighed deeply again, then stood up, walked behind the desk, took out a file bag from a locked drawer, walked to Xu Lang, handed it to Xu Lang and said, "This is
The things you left behind when you left back then, now that you are back, return them to their original owners. I hope this time, this organization can be completely dismantled."
Xu Lang took the document bag, touched it, then raised his head, looked at Tian Yongchun, nodded variously again, got up and left the office.
