Chapter 61 New Gun Case
"Bang bang bang", after several shots, the number of rings slowly increased from seven to eight and then to nine.
With a clear "bang" sound, the bullet shot steadily into the center, making a perfect ten rings.
"pretty!"
Yue Lingchuan exclaimed in admiration and lowered his eyes to look at the girl's beautiful face. At the moment, she was completely calm and reserved, with only her thick eyelashes trembling slightly, revealing her inner restlessness.
Yue Lingchuan's heart trembled unconsciously.
"Wow! Ten rings?!" Wei Zhengyi on the side shouted loudly, and came over to look at the target: "Xiao Shen is amazing, he got it right so quickly?"
Shen Qingye put away his gun and smiled when he heard it: "I'm slowly getting the feel for it, and I'm in good shape."
"Then come on, let's compete!" He looked at Yue Lingchuan again and urged, "Come on, boss! Let's compete together!"
Yue Lingchuan closed his eyes and no longer had any temper towards this brainless boy. Zhou Qiming and Jiang Cheng on the side looked at each other and couldn't help laughing secretly.
Wei Zhengyi was still unaware and was happily pulling people to the competition. Yue Lingchuan looked back at Shen Qingye, and when he met the girl's smiling eyes, he couldn't help but look away uncomfortably.
…
It was already lunch time when they came out of the underground shooting range. They went to the cafeteria to eat first. On the way back to the office, they saw Captain Song coming down from the third floor. When he saw them, his eyes lit up:
"Hey, where did you all go? I just went to your office and couldn't find anyone."
Shen Qingye said, "Brother Zhengyi took us to the underground shooting range and just came back from dinner. Is there anything going on with the detachment?"
Captain Song chuckled, "Something's going on. It's definitely something."
"What a coincidence! Your service pistol just came down. Come with me to take a look."
"Gun?" Wei Zhengyi suddenly became interested: "Let's go and take a look."
Song Lianfeng looked at him unhappily: "Go away, you have business everywhere, go back to your office!"
Wei Zhengyi was a little puzzled for a moment: "It's just a sidearm, why can't I see it, umm..."
Before he could finish his words, his mouth was covered. Yue Lingchuan said to Song Lianfeng, "Okay, we'll go back first. We're just looking at a previous case."
Wei Zhengyi’s eyes widened, and he was about to say something, but Yue Lingchuan simply put his arms around his neck and dragged him away.
Zhou Qiming and others followed closely.
Song Lianfeng shook his head helplessly: "These stinky boys..."
Shen Qingye looked at Yue Lingchuan, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Although they didn't say anything, it was obvious that Yue Lingchuan had guessed something.
Song Lianfeng patted her shoulder and said, "Let's go and check out your gun."
Shen Qingye came to her senses and walked towards the office with him.
Pushing open the office door, Shen Qingye unexpectedly saw a familiar figure:
"Uncle Gao?"
Shen Qingye was somewhat pleasantly surprised and also somewhat astonished. She didn't understand why Gao Zhengming, who was usually very busy with work, had to come forward for such a matter as just getting a gun.
She looked around the room and finally found a small, black, low-key box on Song Lianfeng's desk.
Gao Zhengming waved at her: "Come on."
Shen Qingye took two steps forward and his eyes fell on the box. The box was pitch black and there was nothing special about its appearance, not even a single decorative pattern. There is only a copper lock on the front, which seems to add a lot of brightness to the box.
Gao Zhengming looked at her with a smile: "You've been waiting for so long, you must be impatient, right?"
Shen Qingye looked at him, then at the box, and had some guesses in his mind. His throat tightened: "No hurry."
If it was really what she thought...
"It's worth waiting no matter how long it takes."
Gao Zhengming paused, then fell speechless. He knew that this girl was smart, but at this moment, she was still so smart, which made his plan to give her a surprise go awry.
He took out a key from his pocket and raised his head to signal: "Open it and take a look."
Shen Qingye's throat rolled, he licked his lips, and took the key with almost trembling hands. He checked it several times before he pushed it into the lock.
With a "click", the lock opened.
Shen Qingye took a deep breath unconsciously, took off the padlock, and slowly, slowly opened the box.
What came into view was a familiar gun, black in color, small in appearance, and beautiful, almost the same as the one she touched in the training ground that morning.
The gun in front of him seemed to be quite old, but it was well maintained, with no damage on the gun body, except for -
That tiny scratch on the gun handle.
Gao Zhengming smiled and said, "Look familiar, right?"
Shen Qingye lowered his head and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. His eyes were sore and tears fell uncontrollably.
Familiar, how could it not be familiar? This scratch was made by her.
I remember when she was a child, she was playing with her father's gun. She got so excited that she took a sharp stone and tried to put it into the muzzle of the gun. She also scratched it here and there, leaving a scratch like this. Seeing this, her father, who had always obeyed her and almost doted on her, beat her up for the first time and told her that the gun was a comrade and a partner, and that she could have fun with it, but she couldn't treat it like this.
Shen Qingye cried and said that she would never dare to do it again. She held the gun and wiped it carefully, but this was the only mark that could not be wiped off and it remained on the gun.
When Gao Zhengming saw her crying, he couldn't keep the smile on his face anymore and panicked: "Hey, hey, hey, don't cry, don't cry. Why are you crying?"
He took out two pieces of paper and frantically tried to wipe his tears, jokingly saying, "Silly girl, why are you crying? What's wrong? Are you scared?"
When the gun was sent back, it was covered in blood. Their technicians took a long time to clean the blood on it, and sealed it together with Chu Chengjiang's right hand and the police number.
Until today.
Shen Qingye raised her hand and wiped away her tears. Her voice sounded like she was laughing, but also like she was crying: "Why would I be afraid of it..."
Why would I be afraid of it...
This is her father's service pistol. This is the gun that her father held tightly in his hand when he died. It is stained with her father's blood.
It will protect her.
It will protect her.
Shen Qingye seldom cried in recent years. After her father passed away and her mother became the only one who accepted her, she rarely shed tears. She tried to hold back her tears, but big drops of tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes, hitting the floor and the gun. Again and again.
Gao Zhengming felt uncomfortable when he saw this. He raised his head high, as if he was afraid that he would cry like her. He rubbed her head: "Be good, don't cry, don't cry. If your father saw it, you should blame me. He has always been unreasonable when it comes to you, you know that."
When Shen Qingye heard this, she seemed to recall her time in the police force, when some uncles loved to tease her and sometimes made her cry. At that time, the father would always kick them, scold them with a smile, and tell them to stop teasing his precious daughter, and ask them to take him to buy candies and delicious food.
She looked at Uncle Gao coaxing her carefully, and she felt like she was back in her childhood. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears and couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're talking nonsense." She hummed, "He's very reasonable..."
Gao Zhengming quickly agreed with her and said, "Yes, yes, yes, let's be reasonable. It's my fault, it's my fault."
He pushed the box in front of Shen Qingye and said, "Your father's police number can't be reactivated, but this gun can still be given to you. You see, uncle took a lot of effort to apply for this gun from there. Try it quickly and see if it suits you."
Shen Qingye took a deep breath and managed to calm himself down before he reached out his hand, reached into the box, and slowly grasped the handle of the gun.
Although it felt as hard and slightly cool as an ordinary gun, Shen Qingye felt as if he was holding a warm and broad palm.
She seemed to see her father's big hands wrapped around her small hands, leading her to lift the gun, and his gentle and smiling voice rang in her ears, patiently teaching her:
"Xiao Feng, come here, raise your hands and look forward."
"Bang--Wow, ten rings!"
"Xiao Feng is awesome!"
Shen Qingye slowly closed her eyes, and a line of tears silently slid down from the corner of her eyes.
…
In late April, the team still hadn't received any cases. Just when everyone was getting bored, the result of the Procuratorate's investigation into Ren Fangyao's case finally came out.
According to the existing evidence, Ren Fangyao was acting in self-defense and did not commit intentional homicide, so he was acquitted.
Everyone in the office breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news. Regardless, the case finally came to a conclusion.
But Li Jinguo's family was not satisfied with the result and demanded a retrial like crazy, saying that Ren Fangyao must have committed murder on purpose and had the intention to rape her, and that it must have been that damn girl who deliberately seduced them and caused a fight outside the procuratorate. In the end, the local police station stepped in and severely reprimanded them, telling them that this behavior was a provocation and that if they continued like this, they would be detained according to law! Let them go through the formal process if they are dissatisfied with the trial results!
They then left in embarrassment, but still refused to give up. They found Li Jinguo's house and tried to harass Yang Xiulan and her daughter.
Fortunately, the school leaders attached great importance to this beloved girl and took her to the school as soon as she was released. Even Yang Xilan was arranged to live in the school’s staff family quarters. The school leaders also asked the school security to keep a close watch and not allow any strangers to come in, so as not to disturb the study and life of the mother and daughter.
Li Jinguo and his family were unwilling to accept the fact that they could not find the culprit. Or maybe he felt guilty, or simply didn't want to waste time and energy going through the process, so he didn't bother about the results anymore, but instead set his sights on Li Jinguo's savings and house.
There would probably be another commotion afterwards, and when everyone knew about it, they just shook their heads.
…
The May Day holiday is coming soon. As the seven-day holiday is approaching, everyone is eager to think about where to go for fun. Shen Qingye listened and was also wondering where her mother would go to play if she had time.
When everyone was discussing intensely, there was a knock on the office door.
This movement...
Shen Qingye's heart moved, and he looked back. It was indeed the operator Xiao Liu standing by the door. He said with a wry smile:
"Captain Yue, there is a case."
"Someone from Wuping Village called the police and reported that a body was found in their fish pond."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Well, after half a month of leisure, another case came up.
"Let's go!" Yue Lingchuan stood up and greeted.
Zhou Qiming stretched out his voice: "Let's go to work!"
