Chapter 392 Seven Points of Truth
In the 1970s and 1980s, many police schools were technical secondary schools, mainly for training grassroots police officers.
For example, Zhang Ning, the master of Zhouyi Police Station, graduated from a technical secondary police academy, and most of them work in grassroots positions for their entire lives.
Jin Lei, who is about the same age as Zhang Ning, was a college police academy student in his early years, so his upper limit is obviously much higher.
Qin Beihai said that when Qin Feng told him that he had passed the cultural examination of the secondary technical school police academy, his first reaction was to question whether his son had used his connections.
This is the thing he regrets most in his life.
Because of this, the father and son had their first big fight.
Later, Qin Beihai contacted the school to find out about the situation and learned that everything was normal and there was no favoritism or fraud.
He knew he was wrong.
But the dignity and stubbornness of patriarchy prevented him from bowing his head, and for the couple's circle, studying in a technical secondary school was indeed not a glorious thing.
Later, after three years of uneventful life, Qin Feng graduated from the police academy and was assigned to a police station.
Logically speaking, with Qin Beihai's status and connections, it would be easy for him to arrange a job for his son in the branch.
But he didn't do so, not because he was selfless, but because he subconsciously felt that his son was not presentable and was embarrassing him.
So he didn't care and didn't ask.
After being taken to the police station, Qin Feng also moved out of his home and lived in the police station dormitory. The couple communicated less and less with their son.
The subsequent changes were because his wife retired. After retirement, she suddenly had more free time and her mentality also changed.
I also communicate more with my son.
With the mediation of his mother, Qin Feng's relationship with his family gradually eased, and he would go home to live when he was not busy.
But what the couple didn't know was that it was too late to make up for some things because there was not much time left for them.
That year, Qin Feng was 21 years old and took that photo downstairs of the family compound.
The couple then realized that Qin Feng, who was dull by nature, had never given up on himself. During his days working at the police station, he was on patrol during the day, handling trivial matters in the area, and worked hard to prepare for the exam at night. He wanted to pass the adult college entrance examination and study at the Public Security University.
He is not stupid, he just walks a little slower than others, but he can spend more time and effort to walk a longer way.
Qin Beihai only found out about all this after he died in the line of duty when he went to the police station dormitory to pack his things.
That night, he was on patrol duty and encountered a group of thieves who were stealing property from a state-owned unit. He discovered them.
While chasing thieves, he was ambushed and stabbed by one of the thieves. He eventually died of heavy bleeding at the age of 23.
On the third day after his death, his family received the admission notice for the adult education program from the Public Security University.
Qin Beihai saw a line of words on the last page of his diary: I also want to be the son that can make my parents proud.
Qin Beihai burst into tears while holding his son's diary.
It was not until then that they realized how outstanding their son was.
But it was too late.
A son wants to support his parents, but they are no longer there.
The same is true the other way around.
Zhou Yi never expected that these two amiable old men would have such a heartbreaking past.
If Zhou Yi was only 23 years old, he would not be able to understand such a huge and complex emotion, but now he has the soul and memory of the vicissitudes of life Zhou Yi in his previous life in his body. He knows that for a couple in their sixties, this means pain that can never be recovered or erased in their lifetime.
This pain will accompany them until they leave this world, and perhaps it will end when they see their son Qin Feng again on the other side of that world.
For them, Zhou Yi did not really look like their son Qin Feng, but based on various labels, he gave them a sense of similarity overall.
Both are 23 years old, both started out as grassroots police officers in police stations, and both are working hard to climb up the ladder.
Finally, adding the three-point similarity in appearance gave Qin Beihai the illusion that it was seven-point real.
No wonder he gave me suggestions for my development when he first met me.
Perhaps it was out of love for talent, but more because Zhou Yi reminded him of his son Qin Feng, and he didn't want Zhou Yi to suffer in this regard.
To a certain extent, the fact that Zhou Yi, who came from a grassroots police station, could be so outstanding and so dazzling might be what he had hoped to see in his son.
The current Zhou Yi has walked the path that Qin Feng did not have the chance to walk back then.
Zhou Yi felt a pang of regret in his heart.
All the complicated things can only turn into a long sigh in the end.
And Qin Beihai's words "wait for you to come to the provincial capital to find me" were not a metaphor for anything, he simply wanted his lover to meet Zhou Yi as well.
No wonder he invited me to his house for dinner and asked me to stay overnight. It turned out that he saw the shadow of his son in me.
"Mr. Qin, your son is great! He lived up to the people and the police uniform he wore. Public security officers are equal in their work, and every officer who died in the line of duty is a true hero."
Since Qin Feng's sacrifice, Qin Beihai has heard many people's consolation, but only Zhou Yi's consolation today made him burst into tears.
Through his tearful eyes, he seemed to see his son Qin Feng and Zhou Yi overlapped. It was as if the 23-year-old Qin Feng smiled and said to him, "Dad, am I good?"
Qin Beihai nodded continuously and said, "Well done, you are all great."
That night, for some reason, Zhou Yi slept particularly soundly at Qin Beihai's house.
It was as if this was the first time he had slept so soundly since the great case happened.
A dreamless night.
The next morning, Zhou Yi said goodbye to Qin Beihai and his wife, as he had to return to Hongcheng.
Although Lu Xiaoshuang was still in the provincial capital, at least he knew that she was safe now. Although she was under police control, this was actually the safest way because she would no longer be threatened by the murderer.
As for the fact that Lu Xiaoshuang was treated as a criminal suspect, the focus was on clearing her grievances and finding out the truth.
The judicial process is long and a person will not be sentenced easily.
It's just that Lu Xiaoshuang will inevitably have to go through a period of fear, but he believes that he will be able to solve this problem.
The master's wife took his hand and said that he could come to her house for dinner again if he had the chance. Zhou Yi promised the old lady that he would definitely come.
Qin Beihai has recovered into the energetic elder and said that he would see Zhou Yi off.
The two went downstairs and walked out side by side.
Qin Beihai asked, "Zhou Yi, is this case important to you?"
Zhou Yi answered without hesitation, "It's very important. Perhaps you may think I'm exaggerating or being hypocritical when I say this, Mr. Qin, but a voice in my heart tells me that I've come this far precisely for this case."
Qin Beihai smiled and said, "It's not an exaggeration. I believe it."
After sending him to the gate, Zhou Yi asked him to stay and he went back.
Qin Beihai nodded and said, "Zhou Yi, I'll wait for your news on recommending you to join the task force. Don't worry, I still have a say in front of the leaders of the provincial department. But I still say that you must resolve the anonymous report first. I believe in your character, but the system is the system, and we can't go into battle with a tainted reputation."
"Mr. Qin, thank you for your kindness to me. I will definitely not let you down." After saying that, Zhou Yi bowed.
Looking at Zhou Yi's receding figure, Qin Beihai murmured, "Xiaofeng, if you are still alive, please bless Zhou Yi on behalf of Daddy."
Zhou Yi didn't hesitate and went straight to the train station and bought the next train to Hongcheng.
He calculated the time and found that he would be able to return to the bureau around three in the afternoon, but there was a high probability that Wu Yongcheng would be in Hongda at that time because the task force was also there.
I called Wu Yongcheng yesterday but he hung up. It was probably because he was in a situation where he couldn't answer the phone.
As for Qiao Jiali and the others not accepting the call, based on Zhou Yi's understanding of everyone, he would not think that they were deliberately avoiding him to avoid suspicion. After being together for so long, they would not be so petty.
They didn't answer the call, most likely because Wu Yongcheng had instructed them to do so, to protect both them and Zhou Yi.
After all, he called the office of the Third Brigade, and Chen Yan, who stayed there, told him some key information.
Especially the sentence "Master asked you to come back first."
If I go back, I must find Wu Yongcheng to discuss countermeasures, and I can't do it at the Municipal Bureau, let alone go to Hongda to find someone.
Got to avoid everyone.
On the train, Zhou Yi called the office of the Third Brigade, but no one answered. It seemed that even Chen Yan, who stayed behind yesterday, had gone to carry out the mission.
Zhou Yisi thought about it and thought of someone, then immediately dialed the other person's number.
A moment later, the call was connected.
"Zhou Yi, where are you now?" the person on the other end of the phone asked in a deliberately lowered voice.
"Captain Shi, I'm on the train back to Hongcheng."
"You know about the task force, right?" Shi Tao asked.
"Know."
"Where's that girl named Lu? No, you've already handed her over, so you should know, right?"
"Yeah, I know."
Shi Tao hesitated and asked, "What about your own business?"
"I know that too."
"Damn, Old Wu is so capable now. He says one thing to Director Xie's face and another behind his back. He swore to Director Xie that he would follow the rules and stick to the principles. And then he tells you everything right away?"
Zhou Yi quickly explained: "The anonymous report has nothing to do with Captain Wu. I found out about it through my connections in the provincial department."
Shi Tao was stunned: "Provincial Department?"
He wondered, did Zhou Yi have connections in the provincial department? He was so well hidden. No wonder Old Wu wanted to transfer him from the police station to his own work. So this was the case.
Shi Tao chuckled and thought to himself that I had actually discovered this.
"Captain Shi, you are not on the task force list, right?" Zhou Yi asked.
"This kind of dismemberment case isn't my responsibility. Our second team can only provide peripheral assistance. But let me be frank: don't try to extract information from me. I don't know much, and of course I can't tell you. But whether I tell you or not won't affect our friendship."
"Don't worry, Captain Shi. I'm not here to get any information. I want to ask you something that has nothing to do with the case."
