"You always tell me to learn to grow up, but you yourself are as simple as a child, I originally thought that people in this world, bustling, are all for profit, but I didn't expect that there are really people who sacrifice their lives for righteousness, life is themselves, righteousness is others, doing so much for others and snubbing your family, is it worth it? I feel that you can't go home a few times a year when you are busy, and when you meet a little back, I'm afraid you won't even have the opportunity to eat dumplings in Chinese New Year's Eve." Xia Ni concluded that she felt a little sorry for her old captain, because what he taught her was not only detection skills, but also the meaning of life.

"It depends on who you compare with, you have to compare with the big bosses who do business, you don't have so much free time, but if you compare with the soldiers, maybe they are not as good as us. Whether it is glory or faith, whether it is loneliness or frustration, people always have to experience this, and if they experience more, they will grow, but some people like to be alone, and some people like to live in groups. Take you as an example, I remember when you first joined the police force, you were simply a stubborn donkey, disobeying orders on the battlefield, confronting your superiors, what did you do when something was outrageous, and later, you didn't learn to be calm and calm, and learned to work as a team, until you became more and more outstanding and appeared on the list of commendations more and more, I found out that it turned out that you had completed the career I dreamed of achieving in my life in three years. Liang Tian said as he spoke, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, many of the murderers who were sent to court or sent to the Hades Palace by Xia Ni were A-level wanted criminals who were on the run, not to mention anything else, the government bounty alone added up to five million.

was complimented, Xia Ni was obviously a little embarrassed, and her pretty face was slightly red: "Team Liang, don't say that, everything is connected, it's true that I caught the people, but if there is no guidance from you behind me, let alone mention the deputy captain, I am not qualified to be the team leader." Just like those movie stars, if there is no silent dedication from the director and screenwriter behind them, can they become a master?"

"So, I'm a star scout?"

"Hehe, that's how you add it up. ”

"Don't be foolish, it's not too early, it just so happens that you and Lynch are here, go out with me, this sanatorium is very good, cleaner than the parks in the city." Liang Tian said, and was about to get up.

"Captain, your legs. Xia Ni knows, just with Liang Tian's legs, let alone going out for a walk, it is enough to go to the toilet by herself.

"You take out the things under the bed, I can use them. Liang Tian pointed to the bottom of the bed.

"What, this is, it's weird. Xia Ni leaned over, dragged out an object wrapped in a long cloth bag, pulled the zipper, and immediately froze in place, holding nothing else in her hand, it was a pair of specially tailored crutches for the disabled.

"I was prescient, and my diagnosis was more reliable than the hospital. Liang Tian smiled heartily, moved out of bed with difficulty, and patted Xia Ni, who was squatting on the ground and not moving: "This stupid girl, what are you doing staying, get up and help me." ”

"Lao Liang, let's come with me, I have studied nursing for two days, and I know the severity better than her. Lynch walked over and wanted to take the cane from Xia Ni's hand, but the latter hugged him and said uncomfortably: "You are like this, why didn't you tell me earlier, if I had known about this, I could have come to the hospital to take care of you for a while." ”

"I told you early, I'm afraid you'll be distracted, the case hasn't been closed yet, and there is a need for manpower everywhere, you came to the hospital to take care of me, what should I do with the work at home? After Liang Tian finished speaking, he said again: "Okay, okay, in front of Lynch, if you really cry, he can't laugh at you for ten and a half days?"

"He dare!" Xia Ni was about to drop the golden bean, but as soon as Liang Tian reminded her, she held back again, and glared at Lynch.

"Yes, I don't dare, you are the acting captain, I am an ordinary ordinary person, how dare I laugh at you. Lynch laughed with him, for fear of lying down: "Hurry up, people are waiting for a walk, what do you mean by holding and not letting go, do you want to try whether walking with prosthetic legs can get out of the pleasure?"

"you, don't joke about our captain. Xia Ni raised her face and served her personally, she had never used this kind of prop, and her head and tail were reversed.

"Oh, auntie, I said you can really do it, if you are allowed to be a nurse for two days, and the patient does not die, you will be angry to death first. Lynch wanted to laugh when he saw her clumsy appearance, he was born with a gun, and he couldn't do fine work at all, or he was more reliable to get started, and he temporarily held on to his heels Yan Tiantian learned nursing for two days, specializing in serving his little wife who recovered after surgery.

"You come, you come, where are so many strange words. Xia Ni pinched Lynch dissatisfied, the two of them were stinky and poor, one left and one right serving their father, and this was considered to be out of the ward.

As Liang Tian said, the scenery in the sanatorium is indeed very good, comparable to the smooth lawn of the golf course, at a glance, it is all green close to nature, and the gravel road is clean, not to mention confetti, there is no dust at all. In the center is an artificially bred Swan Lake, where you can fish, play chess on the shore, and tea is served for free, making it an excellent place to chat or read a book.

"It's expensive to live here, isn't it?" Lynch asked, the overall level of this place is not much worse than the villa where the eldest wife used to live.

"It's not expensive, and the government's money to build welfare institutions for veteran cadres is not for profit. Xia Ni explained, and said: "Captain, if you can go, don't stay in the house all the time, I'll buy you a set of fishing gear and send it back, and you can also go fishing and chat with these old comrades, maybe you will be in a good mood and get better." ”

"Don't spend that unjust money, save some money for dinner, I know my own illness, even if you make me laugh 24 hours a day, he should be better or not. Liang Tian didn't want this girl to spend money for him anymore, a lot of high-end nutritional products, a month's salary advance, he knew what it meant to Xia Ni, being a policeman like her would be poor all her life.

"Lao Liang, don't be so pessimistic, from a medical point of view, any terminal illness has a chance of recovery, not to mention one of your lame legs. Lynch replied disapprovingly.

"I know, the odds, one in a million is also called the odds, if I had that fate, the lottery would have won early. Liang Tian said in one sentence, the reality is not, where to find so many so-called miracles of life.

"Yes, I can't compete with you. Lynch's old face turned red, he originally planned to give Liang Tian a little hope like coaxing a child, but now it seems that there is no play, this old guy lives better than him.

Just when the three of them were about to discuss the next topic, from outside the gate of the nursing home, a modern police car quietly drove in, starting with the V, representing the meaning of the director, followed by another one, followed by another one, followed by another one, and then there was the expected long line, seven or eight police cars, all drove into the parking lot, and under the stunned eyes of passers-by, the people in the car came down one after another.

Without exception, all of them were well-groomed, like a well-trained team.

"Listen to my command! Take the platoon leader as the benchmark, assemble!" Director Zhou, who was in charge of criminal investigation with the rank of major general on his shoulder, shouted the order, and the loose crowd immediately formed a standard phalanx comparable to a military parade.

"Stand up, take a break, all of them, the goal is twelve o'clock, run forward!" Another shout was given, and a dazzling scenery immediately appeared in the sanatorium, and a police phalanx composed of fifty people marched neatly towards the destination with their heads held high in the face of the bloody remnant sun.

"Captain, look. Shani was the first to notice the strangeness behind her.

As soon as Liang Tian turned around, his armpits supported his crutches, and his deep eyes suddenly revealed a thick melancholy.

The phalanx drew nearer, and the footsteps shook louder and louder, until everyone stood before him, gazing affectionately at his seemingly somewhat flawed image.

I saw it, I saw it, the apprentice I brought before, now I am the director, and the brother who was born and died ten years ago has two more bars on his shoulders. There are also friends from the criminal police team, one by one, there is no hippie smiling face in the past, and instead there is a heavy expression full of a sense of fate.

It's an uninvited bunch.

"Listen to my command, salute the old captain!"

As soon as the password came out, everyone raised their right hands and brushed the police salute, and the silver police badge looked so dazzling under the reflection of the sunset.

"Captain, the level is not low. Shani was a little frightened, she whispered, not daring to speak loudly.

"It's all here, it's all here, it's all the people I've brought with me. Liang Tian sighed, no one would have thought that his current director was also his former student.

"All of them, salute the old heroes!" Another order, another salute, and the expression of affection between comrades-in-arms is such a simple action.

Liang Tian hurriedly let Lynch help him and returned a police salute of the same standard.

In the team, some people couldn't help but shed tears, some people couldn't help crying, and even Lynch, who has always been cynical, was a little touched to the softest part of his heart.

"I can't help it, Director Zhou, Liang is ashamed of it. Liang Tian said, and quickly stretched out his hand.

"You are always a hero, there are no superiors and subordinates today, only teachers and students, in the evening, I arranged for someone to prepare a farewell party for you, Dongxing Building No. 6 box, please be sure to appreciate the light. Zhou Jiantao said, holding Liang Tian's hand affectionately, in 98 he was transferred to the city bureau as a section chief, or Liang Tian took over the procedures, after more than ten years of ups and downs, the small section chief was promoted to the director of the bureau, and he, the head of the detachment, has never changed his title.

"There's no need to eat, I'm already very happy if you can come in person, this parting wine is too easy to get drunk, the doctor doesn't tell me to drink, I don't drink when I go, and you guys won't agree." ”

"Okay, the elder is the greatest, I understand your character, please don't move, persuasion is even more useless. Zhou Jiantao smiled awkwardly, it seems that today's dinner is definitely going to be canceled.

"On the occasion of parting, do you have anything to say to the old captain?" Zhou Jiantao glanced at the crowd, no one said anything, and then smiled again: "Otherwise, sing a song, what kind of song, by the way, just sing our "Song of the People's Police", I will start up, in the bustling town, in the silent valley ......"

In a bustling town

In the Silent Valley

The figure of the human life police

Accompany the moonset and sunrise

The sacred national emblem radiates the light of justice

……

The low and rich male voice, although it is not very beautiful in the ears, sings everyone's heart, even Xia Ni, who has always been shy to open her voice when she went to KTV with her colleagues, hummed along.

In the singing, Liang Tian was on crutches and turned around slowly, Lynch wanted to help, but was gently pushed away by Liang Tian, and muttered: "Please do one thing." ”

"What do you say? ”

"In the evening, Xiaoxia is going to go to the provincial capital to attend the commendation conference, I'm afraid she will be uncomfortable alone, if you have time, help me send her. ”

"No problem, wrap it up on me. ”

"There's nothing else, there's a period later, take care. After Liang Tian finished speaking, he walked silently and limped alone.

The golden afterglow fell on him, but it didn't make the image any more imposing. Xia Ni wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Lynch, and persuaded softly: "Don't go, he wants to be alone." ”

"Lynch, I feel bad, I don't want him to go. The girl struggled, but to no avail.

"I know that people have feelings, since the fate is over, only dreams follow, when you are free, I will accompany you to Lao Liang's hometown. ”

"Really...... Really?" said Shani's eyes widened.

"Really. Lynch nodded, sighing: "I used to be like you, when I saw my comrades-in-arms who got along day and night leaving, I would feel uncomfortable, and I would find a corner where no one was going to get drunk, just like you now, watching Lao Liang's back go farther and farther, but the hearts of the two of you are getting closer and closer, and in the end, you will find that sometimes, from Tiannan to Haibei, it is a distance of one leg." ”

"You stinky rascal, you can still say such philosophical things. Shani smiled, smiling like a child, and the two of them stood still until the limping back was completely gone.

"Smelly rascal, invite me to dinner, I will eat a big meal, and eat back everything that has been lost. In the car, Xia Ni sat in the passenger seat, first laughed heartlessly, and when she stopped laughing, Lynch took out a pistol from the back waist, that is, the rifling was worn out, and handed it to Xia Ni: "Lao Liang asked me to give this to you, he said that when you see this gun, you see yourself, and he will bless you in the dark, by the way, remind you that this gun is older than you, and you have to call it uncle in terms of seniority." ”

The moment she took the steel gun, the girl couldn't hold back any longer, and the love she was desperately trying to hide fell apart at this moment.

That day, according to Lynch's own recollection, the clothes on his shoulders were as if they had been washed in a washing machine......
