  Jinhai City.

    The torrential rain washed the river embankment, and the current rushed forward, rushing into the deep twilight in the distance.

    "I'll tell you not to be so active. I won't give you more money until twelve o'clock. That group of people is very dark!" The boy held a slanted umbrella, half of his body was watered, and the rain was smooth. He dripped into the torn sneakers with his thin black calf, and walked in the mud every step, "I will leave when I send you downstairs, otherwise your dad will see you again later!"

    The girl under the umbrella wore a dark blue overalls that was obviously too large, and hugged her arms tightly. Her voice trembled slightly: "The foreman gave forty yuan more..."

    The boy made a loud noise.

    He wanted to say something but swallowed it back. After a while, he said: "Then you can hide the money, don't let your dad know it, and send it to gambling again."

    "I...I know." Reflexively, the girl stretched out her hand and pulled her schoolbag belt hard: "When I save enough money, I will take my mother away from here and go back to my hometown. Even farming is better than this. I heard people say Up..."

    Wow!

    There was a small movement, and the boy suddenly stopped and turned his head.

    "What did you hear?"

    The girl staggered to her feet, shook her head blankly, and was a little nervous by the boy: "What?"

    It was getting late, and the last bus from the industrial park to the outskirts of the city had already passed. The wilderness was dark, the street lights were not on, and the majestic rain obscured the sight; in the distance, only thigh-deep grass swayed back and forth under the rain, like a group of swaying villains.

    Rustle, rustle.

    "..." The boy suspected that he had misheard, and he didn't dare to step back. After a long while, he tentatively shouted: "Hey, anyone?!"

    There was no answer during the heavy rain.

    "The wind...it must be the wind..." The girl was anxious, and tightened her schoolbag belt again: "Go, let's go..."

    When the salty cold wind blew on the river, a small piece of goose bumps suddenly appeared on the back of the boy, and he swallowed hard: "Let's go." Then he pulled the girl and hurriedly turned around. After two steps, he heard——

    rustle.

    rustle.

    It seemed that some kind of huge reptile was approaching quickly from the grass, and the two of them froze at the same time. After a few seconds, the boy stiffened his face and tilted his head. The look in his eyes meant that you also heard it?

    The girl's pale face couldn't be seen clearly in the dimness, and it took a long time to move her head stiffly.

    "..." The boy was panting, his eyes fluttered around, he picked up a dirty stone and held it tightly in his hand, turned around and shouted, "Who is there?! Come out for me!"

    The sky and the earth were washed by rain, and there was no response from all around. After more than half a minute, the boy's tight shoulders relaxed a little vigilantly, motioned the girl to hold his arm tight, and whispered: "This is not right, let's go quickly—"

    at this time.

    rustle--!

    The bushes close at hand shook, and the premonition of danger rushing forward made the two young men tremble like lightning at the same time, but before they could step back, it was too late to blink. A huge ghost stood up almost next to their faces, and a street lamp in the distance was reflected on the river surface, and half of its white bones were shining shockingly. The flesh had been rotten, and there were only two black holes in the nasal cavity, and the upper and lower teeth were exposed. The two eye sockets were directed at them, and they took a step forward——

    That's not a living person.

    That is a skeleton!

    "Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

    A heart-piercing scream cut through the rain curtain, and the distant train drove across the railroad tracks, and the roar mixed with heavy rain, overwhelming the last bit of reverberation.

    ·

    The next day.

    "Ah ah ah ah ah--"

    The roar resounded through the corridor, bang! The door was pushed open heavily and hit the wall hard. A strong man wielding a kitchen knife rushed into the fire door against the dust of the sky, rushing downstairs like a mad cow.

    "Fuck!" The plainclothes detective rushed out of the house, chased for a few steps, and decisively raised the walkie phone: "Report to the team to report to the team. A suspect is out of control with a knife and is breaking through a safe passage, requesting immediate support! Repeat it again Request support!"

    "It's not nice to tell you to go to class. You write everything in your homework. I would slip my old lady away to shame. I knew I shouldn't have given you such a thing..." Outside the residential building, the woman parked her electric car while she Pointing and poking her child on the head, she just pushed open the security door to step in, and saw a fierce face rushing out of the safe passage. bright as snow came to the front in a blink of an eye, and she couldn't help but scream, "Ah ah what!!"

    ——The woman's scream came out of the building, beside the police car.

    Wu Yu turned his head suddenly, the next second, like an arrow from the string, rushed towards the corridor door!

    The note has been chased down, this fucking old lady who got in the way! The burly man's muddy eyes rounded, and he held the knife to hold the stunned child-as soon as the kitchen knife fell, the woman desperately hugged the child and pushed back, facing her sloppy shoulders and back to the blade, and suddenly the cold wind It hit the ear!

    Wow!

    The corridor window on the second floor was shattered, and another figure fell from the sky, wrapped in countless pieces of glass, and kicked the strong man over!

    "Mom..." The burly man smashed his head on the concrete floor and burst into blood on his face. The dual stimulation of ice|ice|poison and severe pain made him completely mad. But there was no delay for half a second, and he rolled up on the spot, tilted his head to avoid the blade, and the tip of the cut hair had not yet landed. He had grabbed the brawny man’s wrist like lightning, "click!" The loud screams and the screams of the strong man sounded at the same time!

    "Raise your hand and don't move it!"

    "Step Detachment!"

    The footsteps came in one after another, and the detectives rushed downstairs. Bu Chonghua pressed the back of the brawny man's head, "Bang!" He slammed that hideous and crazy face into the fire-fighting glass cabinet, then lifted his hair to lift the bloody head out, took out the handcuffs, and then threw it away. To his men.

    A middle-aged female detective, Meng Zhao, the only female field worker in the detachment, strode forward: "It's okay to step the detachment?"

    The suspect was full of blood mixed with glass slag and screamed in pain. He was hooded by two policemen and escorted out of the corridor left and right. The guard belt that was too late for emergency action was finally pulled out. A clearing space was separated in front of the corridor gate. Five or six “demolition” hooded hoods squatted beside the two police SUVs. Outside the white line was crowded with people watching the excitement on the way from get off work.

    On the other side, the mother and the son were shaking with the help of the trainee police. The child cried while sucking his nose: "Mom, mom, are you okay, mom, I will do my homework..."

    Bu Chonghua didn't answer Meng Zhao, he turned his gaze back, his face sinking like water:

    "--Where is the newcomer?"

    Several detectives around: "..."

     Wu Yu stepped back unobtrusively.

    But as soon as he moved his feet, Bu Chonghua turned his head like long eyes behind his head, pinned him with a sharp gaze, then grabbed him by the neckline and pulled Wu Yu from behind the crowd with one hand. Before, pointing to the mother and son:

     "I asked you to stare at the periphery of the complex, don't let the residents into the building, what did you do?!"

    Wu Yu was caught off guard and was dragged for a few steps. Meng Zhao saw that the situation was wrong and immediately stepped forward to explain: "You listen to me in the team, Zhang Xiaoli and several interns temporarily changed surveillance points with Little Wu, and the gate of the community did not close him. Thing..."

     "What am I asking you?!"

     Wu Yu tried his best to tilt his head back and explained embarrassedly: "Captain, listen to me..."

     Bu Chonghua sternly asked: "I asked you what did you do!"

     He was half a head taller than Wu Yu, and his roar shook the corridor, and everyone around him was silent, no one dared to speak.

     "..." Wu Yu finally lowered his eyes honestly: "Sorry Captain, I will pay attention next time."

    Captain Bu Detachment is not that easy to get close to.

    His height is quite outstanding even in the northern city of Jinhai, and he can give people a pin-piercing sense of oppression when he stops. When he was studying in the police academy, he had always been the main player of the basketball team. That cold face has been a member of the investigative department for four consecutive years. After taking part in the work, he even caused a sensation within the North China Public Security System. The first impression of his face is always that there is more fear than love.

    Bu Chonghua stared at Wu Yu with indifferent black eyes, and the surrounding was quiet.

    After a long while, he finally let go of his hand slowly and pushed Wu Yu back.

    Wu Yu staggered for a while, saw Bu Chonghua no longer looking at him, pulled out the glass shards pierced into his arm muscles, smoothly wiped the blood, and turned to the police car: "The three groups stayed to clean up the scene, and the others gathered back to arrange identification. The informant said that these grandchildren had old cases, fingerprints and DNA were used to run the database. Let the pre-trial money, they bring the materials to see me, and then notify the anti-drug detachment of the Wuqiao branch to come to help-Cai Lin! "

    The plainclothes calling for rescue before flew down from upstairs: "Hey!"

    "Interrogation is arranged overnight, no one can leave tonight, whoever leaves will not use it tomorrow!"

    Cai Lin dare not talk nonsense: "Yes!"

    Zhang Xiaoli and the police trainees were crying and they helped Wu Yu to the back: "I'm sorry, Little Wu, I will definitely invite you to dinner tomorrow night..."

    Not long after Wu Yu joined the team, he was already a notoriously bad-tempered old man in the entire Nancheng Division. He seemed to be very resigned to the targeting and reprimands from the leader. He coughed and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

    Cai Lin pounded Sister Meng and asked in a low voice, "This newcomer is actually okay. Why can Brother Hua find fault and scold him all day?"

    The "newcomer" Wu Yu has just been transferred to Jinhai City for two months. He probably has some background in the municipal party committee. The city bureau leader personally spoke to get the criminal investigation detachment. Although he is a related household, he usually clocks in to go to get off work, steps down to get off work, is dull, honest, and he is not too prosperous in his work and not too slow. If Bu Chonghua regularly trains him, it can be said that he has no existence in the detachment. Sense is a background board that is both competent and mediocre.

    Sister Meng sighed: "The whole detachment is just one of them because of a relationship. Do you think Yibu has a personality that can't rub the sand in the eyes, how long can you bear him?"

    Cai Lin took a breath.

    Sister Meng reluctantly lowered her voice: "Wait for him to leave."

    People come and go in this small area in front of the residential building, and every instruction is rapidly spreading and being implemented. The detectives shuttled back and forth, the suspects called for grievances, took photos for evidence, collected seized materials, contacted the bureau, made temporary transcripts... everything was so orderly and organized.

    In the corner of the scene, Wu Yu glanced at the phone time at 7:30.

    "What about Little Wu brother?" Zhang Xiaoli was quite clever: "Is something wrong with your family?"

    Wu Yu hesitated, "Well".

    Although Mr. Wu Yu was scolded by the leader of the detachment, he still invited his colleagues to see him-gentle and silent, quiet, never quarreled with others, anyone could take the long and boring night shift to change his day shift; despite his professional ability It is not outstanding, but a good brother who has no complaints about running errands, buying water and food, just two months after his arrival, he collected 108 good people cards from the Criminal Investigation Detachment.

    "It's okay, you sneaked away." Zhang Xiaoli whispered: "The Bu Detachment and the prosecutor's office have an appointment to meet at 8 o'clock in the evening to discuss matters. I heard the call and he should leave later. I'll take care of the night shift tonight, so let's not talk about it later, ah."

    Wu Yu was struggling a bit. Even though he had just arrived for two months, he already knew the temper of this young boss very well-that one's strength is light when described as being overbearing.

    but……

    He opened the text message in the afternoon again: [Nine o'clock, the old place, 50,000 up. 】

    Wu Yu glanced at the corner of his eyes, and Bu Chonghua was standing by the police car not far away. The child's mother was holding his hand tightly and she was grateful, and Sadhu couldn't spread it away.

    ——This is said to be an elite-born, well-known and promising boss in North China. Not to mention 50,000 in his mind, he may not even be worth 50 Zimbabwe dollars.

    Wu Yu finally made up his mind, exhaled and patted Zhang Xiaoli on the shoulder: "Thank you."

    Zhang Xiaoli returned the look he gave me with confidence. Seeing him flash out of the cordon and disappear at the gate of the community, he was very proud to repay Brother Little Wu, and felt that even the police badge on his chest was brighter. .

    "Thank you, thank you, thank you police officer! Good people have a safe life and a safe life! If it weren't for you, my son would really be over. What's your name, police officer, and what's your siren? I'll write a letter of praise to the Public Security Bureau later, I'm going Send a pennant..."

    There was no expression on Bu Chonghua's handsome face. She pressed the wound on her arm with gauze. Sister Meng hurried over to hold the incoherent woman and coaxed her away in a few words.

    "Boss, Brother Qian and the others are at the prosecutor's office, shall we go?" Cai Lin poked his head out of the car: "Shall I see you off?"

    Bu Chonghua nodded without saying a word, and then ordered a few words to his men before he got into the car under the bloody medical gauze. The black Wrangler SUV with warning lights drove out of the community, turned a corner outside the gate, and turned into a street that had not completely passed the evening rush hour.

    "Boss, let me tell you something. Today, Wu Yu is the thunder for those interns." Cai Lin looked at Bu Chonghua's face from the corner of the car as he drove, cautiously said: "Wu Yu is that person. I think it’s okay. Although it’s a bit boring, it’s still honest. I didn’t rely on the background to make trouble. Will I stay in our team in the future?"

    "Do not stay."

    "what?"

    "The criminal investigation field service is not a place for anyone to use their qualifications as a springboard." Bu Chonghua said coldly: "Those stuffed in through the back door, none of them can stay for more than half a year and leave soon."

    Cai Lin wanted to persuade him, but suddenly Bu Chonghua caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, suddenly turned his head and looked out the car window——

    On the side of the road outside the community, a bus was slowly arriving at the stop, and a familiar silhouette was wrapped in the crowd and got into the bus.

    It was Wu Yu.

    Cai Lin: "..."

    The air suddenly completely solidified, and only ten minutes ago, the sentence "Whoever leaves will not use it tomorrow!" The words were still in my ears, and Cai Lin couldn't even look at his boss's face. 999 novel first published https://www.999xs.com https://m.999xs.com

     There was no expression on Bu Chonghua’s heavy face. He took out his phone and quickly dialed a number. After a while, Meng Zhao’s voice rang across the street. The background was the noisy and busy scene at the gate of the community: "Hello? Team?"

     "Tell Xu Ju," Bu Chonghua's voice was as clear as ice ballast: "Wu Yu will not be used for work tomorrow."

     "Wait, team!..."

     Cai Lin rushed to the top of his head with a chill, and saw Bu Chonghua interrupt the call and gently put the phone back in his pocket.
