"Money... What money?" Cai Wan's voice trembled.

"Your father took 300000 when he ran away." Gong Yingxian said expressionless, "he said let me ask you the rest."

"Impossible!" Cai Wan said excitedly, "he can't say that."

Ren Yi raised his eyebrows.

Gong Yingxian pretended to look through his notebook: "that's what he said. He asked me to ask you where the rest of the money is?"

Cai Wan lowered her head and slowly wiped her tears.

Gong Yingxian waited for a long time and knocked on the table: "raise your head and answer questions."

Cai Wan just raised her head. She sucked her nose and wanted to cry: "I don't know what he meant, and I don't know what the rest of the money was. He wanted to burn brother Zhen and pretended to be an accident. He took all the money from brother Zhen."

"Only 300000?" Gong Yingxian said, "the new drug you use has just been on the market and needs to be mixed with three kinds of drug making materials. I heard that this is a very luxurious use, which can't be obtained by anyone. At the same time, Tao Zhen spent more than 30000 in the fourth perspective in only half a night. He only has this money?"

"How can I know that he has been very generous in spending money. I know he has money, but I don't know how much." Cai Wan said quickly.

"Cai Wan, we will do more in-depth investigation and interrogation on your father. If his testimony is different from yours, neither of you can run away."

Cai Wan took a deep breath and looked directly at Gong Yingxian for the first time. Her eyes were red: "I lied at the beginning because... You and you also have a father? Can you understand me?"

Ren Yu secretly glances at Gong Yingxian. He has just learned from Gong feilan about Gong Yingxian's childhood experience. Although Cai Wan's remark is unintentional, it will certainly make Gong Yingxian feel bad.

But Gong Yingxian's face didn't fluctuate at all. He just stared at Cai Wan.

"But now you know everything, and my father has been arrested. What I'm saying is true." Cai Wan cried, "he lost a lot of money gambling and owed usury. I really didn't expect him to do such a thing."

"Do you have no idea?"

Cai Wan shook her head.

"You told him you were in the fourth perspective."

"Yes, but I didn't know he was going to do such a thing."

"Then how did he get Tao Zhen's money?"

"I lived in the house rented by Tao Zhen for some time, and he came to me."

Ren Yu couldn't help but say coldly, "so you don't know anything, but you happen to provide Cai Zhiwei with all the conditions for doing all this."

Cai Wan shivered and looked at Ren Yu, then began to cry again: "I don't know, I didn't set fire, I really don't know." She was crying. Suddenly, without warning, she began to scratch herself and pull her hair. She was crazy and yelled. They were startled.

The withdrawal reaction came so suddenly that it looked like a fake.

Gong Yingxian and Ren Yi looked at each other, got up and left the interrogation room.

They leaned against the corridor and were in a trance for a moment.

Ren Yu whispered, "I really want to have a cigarette now."

"Do you still smoke?"

"When I was at school, I quit when I was in the squadron." Ren Yu licked his lips, "I just want to calm down."

"Why?"

"Why?" Ren Xuan stared at Gong Yingxian and pointed to the door of the interrogation room. His tone was a little excited, "Why do you ask me? This woman is probably an accomplice. She fooled us for so long. Sometimes she lit the curtain with a cigarette end, sometimes she accidentally knocked over the alcohol lamp, sometimes it was done by a stranger, sometimes it was done by Tao Zhen, and finally it was done by her father. Anyway, she is innocent! As the only survivor in the box, only she knows what happened, but she Every word you say may be false. "

Gong Yingxian said in a deep voice, "yes, and the worst thing is, if Cai Zhiwei doesn't testify against her, we have no evidence to prove that she has a crime other than taking drugs."

"So you asked me why." Ren Yu scolded a dirty word, "you tell me with your intuition, do you think she is an accomplice?"

"The law doesn't believe in intuition. Maybe she's an accomplice, maybe she's not. Unless we find evidence..."

"Then look for it. We can certainly find evidence. Whether she is an accomplice or not, the victim's family should get the truth."

Gong Yingxian rubbed his eyebrows wearily and nodded: "I will continue to check."

Ren Yi sighed: "at least we have locked the real murderer now. This month's efforts are not in vain."

"You go back." Gong Yingxian looked at Ren Yu.

"Will you inform me of any progress?" Ren Yi also looked at him, "inform me at the first time. You promise me and go."

"OK."

Ren Yi still looked at Gong Yingxian, took a few steps backwards, and suddenly stopped: "sleep more. The body is the capital of the revolution."

Gong Yingxian was slightly stunned.

Ren Yu waved and turned away.

Gong Yingxian watched Ren Yu's back until he disappeared at the corner of the corridor.

---

On the first day of school, the Phoenix squadron received an alarm from the students. However, the alarm was not at the school, and the students didn't call 119. Instead, they ran directly into the squadron and said that some children were locked in the roadside car.

After autumn, the temperature is not as fierce as in summer, but it is still hot, and the temperature in the airtight car is likely to be 40 or 50 degrees. Not to mention children, adults can't stand it.

So they took the lightest tool in the history of the squadron and ran across the street with a broken window.

Two teenagers pointed to a black car: "uncle, that's the one we found when we just passed by."

Ren Yu lies on the window and looks inside. On the baby seat in the back row, there is really a child, one or two years old, biting his hands and crying.

"Did you leave a phone or something?" Sun Qing goes around to the front of the car.

"A fart call." Ren Yi said to Ding Qing, "you come to attract her attention."

Ding Qing patted the window with her hand, made a face and asked the child to turn his face to himself.

Ren Xuan went around to the other side and pushed the window breaker against a corner of the window glass. The striker bounced and the glass broke with a crash.

Ren Yi put his hand in and opened the door. As soon as he was about to take the child out, he listened to a violent cry from behind: "what are you doing!"

As soon as Ren Yi turned his head, he saw a man running over: "what are you doing? This is!"

"Is this your car?" Ren Jian frowned. "Is this your child?"

"Of course it's mine!" The man pushed Ren away and looked at the broken window angrily.

"In this weather, you leave a baby in a sealed car?" Ren Xuan bit his teeth and asked in a harsh voice, "who are you from the child?"

"This is my daughter!" The man said angrily, "I'll go to the bathroom for only five minutes. Who are you? Who asked you to mind your own business!"

The two students looked at each other and looked at Ren Yu nervously.

Sun defined and pointed to the squadron opposite: "we are firefighters, sir. You have done a very stupid and dangerous thing, which is likely to cause..."

"Stop fucking Farting!" The man shouted, "I'll just go to the bathroom. Do you care more about my daughter than I do?! my car is so expensive. Do you compensate for the window? Do you compensate for the fire brigade?"

Ren Ying endured his anger: "we are trying to save your daughter. You are irresponsible and put the child in danger. You should get out of the car temporarily and at least leave a window gap for her."

"I said I just went to the bathroom. What can I do in a few minutes? What's wrong with my daughter? Ah?" The man grabbed Ren Yu, "look for yourself. She's fine. Tell me what to do with my window."

Sun defined came over and stared at the man: "let go of our captain."

"Oh, it's still the captain. Scare who. Smashing a window is to show your unique use, isn't it? What should I do about the window? I have to compensate for the damage to other people's property. If you don't compensate, I'll call the police."

Ren Yi shook off his hand and looked down at him: "you call the police and follow the normal procedure. Who should compensate?"

The man blushed angrily: "I'll call the police, I'll complain to you! I'll sue you!"

Ren Yu raised his legs and left. When he passed two students, he stopped.

The two teenagers looked at him guilty, as if they had done something wrong.

Ren Yu said softly, "you did a very good job. You have to do the same thing when you meet someone who needs help in the future, okay?"

They nodded hard.

After returning to the squadron, sun defied to yell and really complained.

Ren Yu was also very angry. He knew that it was going to the police and then transferred from the police to the fire control. He had to write about inspection and punishment, but he couldn't swallow it for a moment.

He planned to give Qu Yangbo a preventive injection first. Anyway, Qu Yangbo dealt with this kind of thing in the end. As soon as he picked up the phone, the bell rang, and Gong Yingxian's name appeared on the screen.

Ren Yu's heart trembled violently. Another week has passed since he interrogated Cai Wan in the Branch Bureau. This phone call is to tell him what progress has been made? Will there be good news? He answered the phone with some uneasiness: "hello?"

"Captain Ren, the bar fire case is going to be closed." Gong Yingxian said frankly that his voice was low and even depressed.

"What? So fast?" Ren Yu said in surprise, "how's the investigation, Cai Wan, and the money?"

"Cai Zhiwei killed him. He did everything. We can't find any other money except the 300000."

Ren Yu was stunned: "do you mean that there is no evidence to prove that Cai Wan is an accomplice?"

"No." Gong Yingxian said slowly, "there is a small difference in their testimony, but it is not enough to prove Cai Wan. As long as they don't admit it, there's no way."

"No way?" Ren Yu's anger suddenly jumped to his heart, "that woman is likely to be one of the murderers who killed 29 people. Will you let her go?"

"This case is urgent. There is no clue at Cai Wan's end, and the evidence on Cai Zhiwei's side is conclusive. In this case, the squadron made a reasonable decision and handed it over to the procuratorate." Gong Yingxian heaved a sigh, "the case is closed."

Ren Yu angrily said, "is the case closed? Is it so closed? If you catch a CAI Zhiwei, you're going to hand over the job? If Cai Wan is also an accomplice, but let her go unpunished, those victims..."

"I can't help it." Gong Yingxian added, "we have procedures, orders and laws. Without evidence, you can't frame others with intuition and speculation." His voice showed reluctance and anger.

Ren Yu was stiff and his scalp was numb. He couldn't tell what it was like in his heart at this time.

Yes, they can't frame others with intuition, but in case, in case, Cai Wan is an accomplice, let her escape the punishment of the law.

But what else can they do?

Ren Yu suddenly felt weak and couldn't say a word. He hung up the phone silently.

At this time, Qu Yangbo knocked on the door board, leaned against the door frame and looked at him quietly.

Ren Yi also looked at him, his face was very ugly.

Qu Yangbo said, "I've heard from sun Qingming. I'll deal with it. You're not in a good mood now. You're not suitable for command. It's no use staying here. You might as well go home."

Ren Yi nodded. He went to Qu Yangbo and shook Qu Yangbo's shoulder: "it's hard."

Qu Yangbo comforted him and said, "you're welcome, brother."

Ren Yi went straight downstairs and walked home. Qu Yangbo is right. The commander can't go to the front with emotion. He needs to calm down now.

When she got home, Aunt Wang had just cooked a meal. She said unexpectedly, "Oh, Captain Ren, why did you suddenly come back without calling? I didn't cook your meal."

"It's all right, aunt. I'm not hungry."

"Wait, I'll fry two more dishes."

Ren Xiangrong was watching TV and glanced at him, "why did he suddenly come back?"

"I was busy some time ago. I'll come back and see you if I don't have time." Ren Yi smiled at Ren Xiangrong. Every time he stepped into the house now, it was like tossing a coin. He didn't know whether he would meet a normal father or a patient.

Fortunately, his father is normal today.

Ren Xiangrong seemed to notice something: "what, is there something wrong with the squadron?"

"It's all trivial. It's no big deal. Yang Bo will deal with it."

"Oh, how's Xiaoqu recently?"

"Very good."

"Xiaoqu is a wonderful child. He is smart and has high Eq. like his father, he must go high in the future."

"Yes." Ren Yu sat next to Ren Xiangrong. Just chatting like this, he felt his mood slowly calmed down.

This is the power of home.

The three happily ate a meal. After dinner, Aunt Wang went to clean up. Ren Xiangrong and Ren Yu continued to talk about the squadron. Ren Yu once had the desire to talk to Ren Xiangrong. He was irritable, angry, confused and unwilling. He had no one else to say, but he still held back. After all, he was already an adult.

But Ren Xiangrong noticed: "Ren Yi, what's the matter with you today? Is something wrong?"

"Really not." Ren Yu smiled. "I just write reports all day. It hurts my brain."

"Oh, I don't like writing reports, but you are a cadre. It's necessary." Ren Xiangrong smiled, "you are satisfied. You can still use computers to write reports now. In our early years, we wrote by hand. I would rather train all day than write reports all day."

"Me too. I'm so bored."

"Hey, let me show you the report I wrote that year." Ren Xiangrong pointed to the TV cabinet, "take out those paper boxes inside."

"Oh, your baby." Ren Yi went to open the TV cabinet and looked at several old shoeboxes: "which one?"

Ren Xiangrong said, "I don't remember. Take it all."

Ren Yi took several shoe boxes and put them on the tea table.

Ren Xiangrong opened the lid. It was full of old materials, yellow with years, and filled a full box. He picked up the top one, "you see, the format was different from that now. These were copies or drafts. The original was archived in the fire department, and later became electronic."

Ren Yu picked it up and looked at it. He sneered and said, "Lao Ren, your word is too ugly. Who can understand it."

"I can't understand it." Ren Xiangrong glanced at him, "the report I wrote was also used as an example for all squadrons to learn."

"After you became captain."

Ren Xiangrong smiled and scolded, "go away."

Ren Yi opened the other shoe boxes: "I remember there's your photo album in here."

When the third one was opened, there were several thick photo albums in it.

"Yes, you saw it when you were a child." Ren Xiangrong picked up a photo album and opened it casually. "This photo, alas, which year was it taken?"

Ren Yu took a look. It was a picture of Ren Xiangrong leaning against the fire truck. It seemed younger than himself now.

Ren Yi also picked up a book and looked through it slowly. Some of the photos he saw when he was a child, some of which were not impressed.

When you turn to the last page, what is sandwiched between the plastic films is not a film developed photo, but a black-and-white photo cut from a newspaper. The picture shows a disheartened firefighter holding a child in his arms. They didn't look at the camera. It was obviously a snapshot, but half of the child's side face snuggled up on the firefighter's dirty combat clothes, forming a picture touching people's hearts.

"Dad, is this you?"
