Original sin

The night is already deep.

The light was not turned on in the room, and I was sitting on the balcony, smoking a cigarette. I don't know which one it is. After sitting for almost two hours, a pack of cigarettes has almost bottomed out.

With a "pop", the light in the study room came on, and Shen Chen stood up from the chair, turned around and looked at the door of the study room, it was his mother Qiu Yuzhen.

"Mom, why are you up?" Shen Shen asked softly.

Qiu Yuzhen walked to the balcony, looked at the cigarette butts in the ashtray, and frowned: "Why do you smoke so much, did you encounter something bothering you?"

She has been cleaning the house all the time, she knows that the ashtray was empty before Shen Chen came back, but now it is full of cigarette butts.She didn't care that her son smoked, but it was too much.

She is well aware of the heavy cigarette addiction on weekdays. If she smokes by herself, a pack of cigarettes can last at least a day and a half, but he filled the ashtray in just two hours after he came back, which shows that something happened to her son up.

"Mom, it's nothing, it's just about the case."

Qiu Yuzhen sighed: "You can't lie to Mom. It's not like you haven't encountered such a difficult case before, and you haven't seen you like this before."

Shen Shen tried his best to force a smile. He didn't want his mother to worry, and he didn't want to tell his mother what Director Huang said about his father today. He knew that this would be a heavy blow to his mother.

Although the mother looks quiet and weak, she has a very strong personality, and she has always been proud of her father. If she knows that someone smears her father like this, she will definitely not be able to bear it.

"Are you doing it for your father's business?" Qiu Yuzhen looked at him and asked.

Shen Chen froze for a moment, and the cigarette between his fingers fell to the ground.

He didn't expect his mother to know about it.

"Have they looked for you?" Shen Shen's face darkened, it must be Director Huang and the others who came to look for his mother.

Qiu Yuzhen sat on the chair and looked ahead, seeing the silhouette of tall buildings in the distance.

"Do you trust your father?" Qiu Yuzhen asked instead of answering her son's words.

Shen Shen nodded vigorously. Of course he believed in his father. He was not only his father, but also his idol and role model. His determination to be a good policeman was more based on his father's precepts and deeds.

Qiu Yuzhen smiled: "Then it's over. I also believe in your father. The one who cleans up will clean up himself. If they want to investigate, let them investigate. Maybe this is a good thing. Your father's case is pending. Maybe this time it will be true." We can check it out and get to the bottom of it.”

This is similar to what Tan Ke said. Although Shen Shen also knew the truth, but as a son, he still couldn't accept someone pouring dirty water on his father.

"Mom, have you seen the diary they mentioned?" Shen Shen asked.

Qiu Yuzhen shook her head: "I haven't seen it. They said that the diary was written by someone who was close to your father. I thought about it for a long time. There were indeed a few people who had a good relationship with your father at that time, but for that diary I have doubts about the diary, because I believe in your father, and it is impossible for your father to do such a thing, so the diary is either fake, or the content in it is not what the report letter said."

Shen Chen agreed with his mother Qiu Yuzhen's opinion very much, and he also thought so after he calmed down and thought about it carefully.

"Son, do you think about the possibility that your father did get that diary, and that diary is likely to be someone's criminal record, and that's why your father got killed .And the other party wants to get the diary now, so they deliberately fabricated such a report letter?"

Shen Chen was a little surprised, her mother never asked about her case, and she didn't ask questions when her father was around, but now she was able to analyze it well, Shen Shen didn't expect that her mother would also be a detective talent.

I have to say that my mother's speculation is somewhat reasonable.

But Shen Chen still said: "It is indeed possible, but there is one thing that doesn't make sense. If the other party really wants to get this diary back, they should use other methods instead of taking risks like this. Mom, think about it, and now I am responsible for investigating this diary." What happened was the people from the Discipline Inspection Office of the Provincial Department, that is to say, it was an internal investigation of our police system, if that diary is really the criminal record of those people, wouldn't they be afraid that it would fall into the hands of the police?"

Qiu Yuzhen froze for a moment, she hadn't thought about this question carefully, she said softly: "Then what is your opinion?"

Shen Shen shook his head: "I didn't think about it either, no, I've been thinking about this question just now."

Qiu Yuzhen stood up and patted her son on the shoulder: "Don't think about it if you don't understand it. Since the provincial department wants to investigate, let them investigate. You can't finish the work yourself. As for your mother, don't worry, why is your mother It is also a sensible person, and there will be nothing to worry about because of this matter. It is getting late, go to bed early. "

As she said that, she left the study room, responded heavily, and followed her out of the study room towards her own room. Qiu Yuzhen suddenly stopped him: "By the way, I heard from Lao Tan that you get along well with that girl named Wang Lu." Pretty good?"

Shen Chen's face blushed slightly, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart, what nonsense did this Bureau Tan talk about with his mother?The relationship between myself and Wang Lu is just colleagues, of course, they can be regarded as friends now, but there is nothing else.

Qiu Yuzhen said: "You're not too young anymore. Mom expects you to get married quickly so you can have a big grandson. Your dad is gone. Mom is the only one in this house during the day. It's strange. Since the girls are nice, you can Work hard. I know you can't let go of your father's affairs in your heart, but you can't even get married because of him, right? If so, your father will be the first to say no. Another day you have time to bring someone home for dinner Have a meal and let me see it too."

After finishing speaking, she went back to the room. Shen Shen was about to say something when she heard the sound of her closing the door.

Shen Shen shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to go back to his room.

Early the next morning, there was a continuous drizzle in the sky, and it was almost nine o'clock when the heavy rain reached the bureau. I slept too late yesterday, and almost couldn't get up.

"Have you had breakfast yet?" He just entered the office, and Wang Lu came in with a bowl of rice noodles, and said with a deep smile, "I really haven't eaten, I got up late."

"Did you stay up late last night again?"

Shen Shen nodded, he took the rice noodles handed over by Wang Lu and started to eat it.

"To be honest, I used to think that the criminal police were very powerful. After graduation and assigned to the provincial department, I followed a few cases before I realized that the criminal police worked so hard." Wang Lu seemed to express her feelings.

Shen Shen didn't take it seriously: "The police are all hardworking. Look at the security police. They patrol the streets every day, let alone the traffic police. When do you not eat ashes on the street? Just take what others think sitting in an office is not good for a day." Let’s talk about the Internet police who are not exposed to the rain, you will only know how intense their work is after you go. Since you have chosen this profession, you must be mentally prepared to endure hardships and stand hard work, right?”

"I didn't expect your realm to be quite high. I'm just expressing my feelings that you can rise to such a high level." Wang Lu said jokingly.

Shen Chen stopped talking, just smiled, the bowl of rice noodles was quickly finished.

"Tell me, where are we going today?"

Shen Chen just put down the bowl and was about to speak when the phone rang.

After taking a look, it was Xu Jing.

"Reporter Xu, what's the matter so early in the morning?" Shen Shen asked.

Xu Jing said: "There is something I must tell you face to face, do you have time?"

Shen Chen didn't hesitate: "When, where?"

"Then now, I'm at a powder shop diagonally opposite your police station."

After Xu Jing finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Shen Chen said to Wang Lu: "I have something to do, let's go out for a while."

"Is it Xu Jing?"

Shen Shen nodded and left the office.

Xu Jing sat at the table at the farthest back, because it was already past the rush hour, and there were not many people eating breakfast.

Xu Jing was eating Changwang noodles, when she saw Shen Chen coming, she asked, "Have you eaten?"

Shen Chen said that he had eaten, but he didn't immediately ask Xu Jing what he wanted from him, but sat opposite Xu Jing, lit a cigarette, and waited quietly.

As the saying goes, the emperor does not send hungry soldiers, and big things have to wait until people are full.

"I heard that your provincial department has launched an internal investigation into your father's matter?" Xu Jing spoke in a low voice, but Shen Shen could hear clearly.

Shen Chen looked at her: "Who did you listen to?"

"Don't forget, I'm a reporter from Provincial Taiwan. I naturally have my connections. It doesn't matter who I listen to. The important thing is what do you think about this matter?"

"Are you here to interview me?" Shen Shen asked with a dark face.

Xu Jing was taken aback, she didn't expect Shen Shen to have such a big reaction, but after thinking about it, she was indeed a bit violent, and asking such a question would definitely make Shen Shen misunderstand.

She hurriedly said: "I'm not here to do an interview, I'm just out of a friend's concern. I know that you will feel very uncomfortable if the Ministry of Finance does this, but I think this should also be an opportunity. I heard from friends that this time The person in charge of this matter is Huang Xinfa, a well-known black bread man from the provincial government. In the past two years, he has taken down quite a few people. This man is actually very upright, and he is determined to kill your father. Check things out."

Huang Xinfa is Director Huang, Shen Shen is not familiar with this person, and it was the first time I saw him yesterday. After all, no one wants to have anything to do with such a department, and those who are targeted by them have no good results.

"By the way, do you know? This Huang Xinfa has a relationship with your father, they are considered brothers."

Shen Chen frowned, he really didn't know about this, and he didn't hear his mother mention it last night.

Xu Jing finally finished eating, she wiped her mouth and said, "But that's not the point."

Shen Shen patiently asked, "What's the point?" Xu Jing let Shen Chen take over, and she said proudly: "I found out about a person, this person is Feng Hu, you should be familiar with Feng Hu, right? ?”

"Uncle Feng?"

Of course, Feng Hu is no stranger to Shen Shen, and he is even quite familiar with him. Feng Hu used to be a policeman. He was his father's old partner and was injured because of saving his father. case, but after almost two years of investigation, there was no clue, and finally it was nothing.

Only Feng Hu persisted in the investigation, but the methods he used were a bit extreme, so he was punished. In a fit of anger, he took off his police uniform and left the police force.

After he left the police station, he occasionally called his mother, but then he lost contact with him. It is said that he went to the south.

"He came back from the south. I heard that he rented a large storefront on Yuchang Road, planning to open a 4S shop for a certain brand of cars. It seems that he should have made money in the south."

After Xu Jing finished speaking, she didn't continue, but stood up: "I have something to do at the stage, so I have to go first."

Before Shen Shen could react, she hailed a taxi and left.

Shen Shen was lost in thought. Feng Hu came back, but he didn't contact his mother. He was planning to open a 4S store. The amount of information was indeed not small. What did Xu Jing mean by this?Could it be...
