Return To 1977 Chapter 49: Seizure
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
The inner courtyard of Dongzhuang Police Station was empty. In the huge courtyard, only Hong Yanwu stood under the big elm tree in the middle. At this time, in the director's office to the right of him, a heated debate was going on. The result will determine whether he will be detained at the police station overnight.
Hong Yanwu really didn't expect that things would evolve to this point.
After learning about Hong Yanwu’s family background, the “grandson” deputy director firmly opposed writing a letter of praise. What was even more unexpected was that You San actually took the opportunity to bite back, saying that Hong Yanwu was also a "Buddha" and reported them because he had a grudge against them for the target. He also said that Hong Yanwu was actually using the public security organs to carry out gangster revenge by helping him handle the case.
The police and workers' militia couldn't help but burst into an uproar after hearing this. Fortunately, Director Qin quickly asked the workers' militia to imprison all the prisoners, so You San, a troublemaker, could not make things more chaotic.
But the thief took one bite and was deeply hurt. Although You San was taken down, what he said gave Deputy Director Sun an excuse to cause trouble. Deputy Director Sun ordered the detention of Hong Yanwu on this grounds, and also claimed that he would carefully examine and distinguish, and never allow a criminal to slip through under the eyes of the people's police.
The policemen looked at each other, and they were all in trouble at this time. Catch it? Hong Yanwu was obviously a meritorious officer and used practical actions to save his comrades. Aren't you going to arrest him? What You San said has both a nose and eyes, so it’s hard to tell whether it’s true or not. Moreover, Deputy Director Sun also used Hong Yanwu's family background as an excuse. If he disobeyed orders, he might be put on the line and slapped with a label.
Zhao Zhenmin saw something was wrong and asked Director Qin for help. But Director Qin just shook his head helplessly. The most irritating thing is that when Deputy Director Sun saw this situation, he deliberately made trouble and asked Zhao Zhenmin to personally handcuff Hong Yanwu.
Zhao Zhenmin was dumbfounded. Being forced to do nothing, he had to find a crooked trick to deal with it - pretending to be stunned.
Zhao Zhenmin was not afraid of embarrassment. He sat down on the ground, hugged the right leg of a policeman next to him and howled, claiming that he was hit on the head by criminals when he was arresting people. Now the injury is coming, it's a concussion.
But this trick is so fake that everyone can tell it’s fake. The policemen almost burst out laughing, and Deputy Director Sun was very angry. But Zhao Zhenmin had indeed just caught a thief. It was shameless for him to go all out and use this as an excuse. There was really nothing he could do with him.
Deputy Director Sun rubbed his hands for a long time, and had no choice but to keep the small account in mind for the time being, and then ordered Da Liu to handcuff Hong Yanwu.
To say that Da Liu was more unjust, he got into trouble out of thin air without provoking anyone. Cuff it? I feel a little sorry, buddy. But what if you don’t obey orders? He couldn't lose face and imitate Zhao Zhenmin's pretense. After weighing the two aspects, Da Liu looked at Zhao Zhenmin apologetically and could only carry out the order with great reluctance.
While watching, Hong Yanwu also knew clearly. He was surprised and moved when he saw that Zhao Zhenmin would rather cheat in public than handcuff him. Although this kind of passive resistance couldn't help him, he couldn't help but appreciate his feelings. Therefore, when Liu took out the handcuffs, he stretched out his hands consciously. He felt that Zhao Zhenmin was a trustworthy person, and even for the sake of this "situation" (a slang term referring to being righteous, upright, and observing the rules), he did not intend to cause any more trouble.
However, just when Hong Yanwu was about to accept his fate, no one could have imagined that a figure would walk out from behind him without warning and push away Da Liu's hand holding the handcuffs.
It's him! It was actually Xing Zhengyi, who had been silent just now!
Hong Yanwu was stunned at that time.
To say that Xing Zhengyi is really reckless. After stopping Da Liu, in order to avenge Hong Yanwu, he fired at Deputy Director Sun while everyone was stunned. Those unceremonious questions pierced Deputy Director Sun's heart. Under the irritation of Deputy Director Sun, the two had a violent quarrel.
Hong Yanwu naturally didn't know that Xing Zhengyi had a history of being louder than his boss. Besides, he always felt that Zhao Zhenmin should be closer to him among the two policemen. And Xing Zhengyi never seemed to like him very much. Therefore, he could not understand why this cold-faced policeman would defend him so unscrupulously, even directly confronting his superiors without any future prospects, and did something that even Zhao Zhenmin would not dare to do.
Seeing the intensification of conflicts, things are about to get out of hand. At the critical moment, it was Director Qin's roar that calmed the two tit-for-tat people. Then, Director Qin turned cold and asked them all to shut up and go to the office to talk.
After all, Director Qin is the full-time director and a veteran policeman who has been working for more than ten years. With such a sullen face, he is really not angry and intimidating.
So, Deputy Director Sun first walked into the director's office with a livid face. Then, under Zhao Zhenmin's persuasion, Xing Zhengyi also followed with a fierce face. Then, including Zhao Zhenmin, all the unrelated people who wanted to stay and watch the excitement were scared away by Director Qin's glare. Finally, Director Qin himself, after looking at Hong Yanwu and sighing, also walked into the office.
In this way, Hong Yanwu was left alone outside, standing alone under the tree waiting for treatment.
The discussion was heated from the beginning. After Director Qin entered the room, the quarrel between Xing Zhengyi and Deputy Director Sun was soon heard in the room
Hong Yanwu has been staring at the green painted wooden door of the director's office. However, due to the reflection from the glass windows and the steam caused by the fire in the room, it was impossible to see what was going on inside. Fortunately, the arguments were loud and the courtyard was clean, so the conversation in the room could be heard clearly.
"Director Sun, I just can't figure it out. Why do you object to writing a letter of praise to Hong Yanwu? Why do you want to arrest the people who helped us?"
Xing Zhengyi's voice was still cold, but when Hong Yanwu heard it, his ears felt warm.
"Isn't this obvious? He has a criminal record and is a high profile person. How could he have any good intentions? You have all been taken advantage of. According to me, this Hong Wu must be detained and investigated carefully. I can't say clearly. What's going on? Okay, let's talk slowly, we'll take care of the food here..."
This girly little voice has a squeaky voice and what she says is **** up. Naturally, she is Deputy Director Sun.
"Hong Yanwu is a liberation officer."
"Release personnel? Why were they detained in the first place?"
"Are there not many people who have been poisoned by '******'? Many people have contracted some bad habits. Besides, he has been reformed now..."
"No matter how you say it, it is nothing more than scrap iron from casting and rotten bricks from the kiln."
"He is not scrap metal, not a rotten brick, he is a human, a human, a human!"
Xing Zhengyi suddenly shouted excitedly, his sad voice obviously feeling aggrieved for Hong Yanwu. But Deputy Director Sun, not to be outdone, became angry and slapped the table and started yelling. After that, Director Qin's majestic voice ordered the two emotionally out-of-control people to calm down.
All these movements reached Hong Yanwu's ears, and just by Xing Zhengyi's indignant words on his behalf, his heart was already burning.
He couldn't help but think of Xing Zhengyi's appreciative look when he knocked You San upright.
Is this just because he helped catch Yu San today? Is it congeniality or repayment of kindness? Or is it an impulsive act of righteousness? Is this guy stupid and bold, or does he really not care?
Surprised, puzzled, admired, moved, gratified, all kinds of complex and difficult feelings emerged from Hong Yanwu's heart...
After a few minutes of brief calm, Deputy Director Sun's playful voice came out of the room again.
"Comrade Xing Zhengyi, let's reason and reason from now on, okay?"
"Then please say it, I'm all ears." Xing Zhengyi's voice was low, but the temperature was below zero, and his antagonism was still obvious.
"I find that there is something wrong with your ideological stance. If you continue like this, you will make serious mistakes..."
"Wrong? Hong Yanwu helped us. If we don't believe him, should we still believe You San?"
"Of course it is." Deputy Director Sun's voice suddenly rose to a high pitch, and he spoke as if it were matter of fact. "Maybe you think that the person who helped you is a good person, but I want to ask you, is there no possibility of what You San said? I just think what he said is quite reasonable. From the perspective of family background, You San is more worthy of our trust..."
You don’t have to listen to what happened next, you can guess it. Hong Yanwu couldn’t help but feel aggrieved and angry. After all, he was helping the police catch thieves, but in the eyes of Deputy Director Sun, he was not even as good as a real criminal like You San. Isn't it just because he is a member of a labor camp and a "bastard" of the capitalists?
He had seen too many people like this in his previous life who simply regarded him as trash based on mere assumptions. This kind of **** is like his enemy for thousands of years, always judging him to be at fault. Even if it is found out whether he has merit or demerit, he will be said to be at fault.
People like them always feel that even if they stay at home, they will think about doing bad things all day long. They concluded that he was born to do bad things, so he was justifiably suspected. Of course they could teach him whatever they wanted, and any one of them could point his nose at him and tell him what he should and shouldn't do.
All those warnings, admonitions, suspicions, and cautions were designed to keep him in check. "Stretch out your hands," "Squat down to the wall," and "Be honest." These words were all prepared for him. Even if he was arrested by mistake, it wouldn't matter. He wouldn't have any objections anyway and had nowhere to protest.
Hong Yanwu seemed to be able to clearly see the self-righteous dignity of the "grandson" deputy director in the room. He spat angrily at the door.
The conversation in the room continued, and Xing Zhengyi was obviously a little angry, and his words were spoken bluntly.
"Don't always use You San's words to tell things. It's purely a frame-up. He is the real gangster. This is confusing black and white!"
Deputy Director Sun was not happy when he heard this, "What did you say? In the face of big issues such as right and wrong, how can you not distinguish between us and our enemies? I think there is something wrong with your position, and you must carefully review your thinking. I I also tell you, don’t think that you can ignore the leader just because you have done something good. Just because you protect a gangster like this, I can ruin your future!”
The last voice screamed a shrew. Hong Yanwu, who was outside, couldn't help but worry. This old boy seemed really annoyed. What if Xing Zhengyi loses his future? He can't afford such a huge debt of gratitude.
"Old Sun, why bother? This guy Xing Zhengyi is a coward. Don't be like him! Let's calm down first..."
Director Qin's voice finally sounded in the room, and Hong Yanwu felt slightly relieved.
In his heart, although Director Qin couldn't handle Deputy Director Sun, he was a bit cowardly. But he had long felt that Director Qin was a good person and would never leave Xing Zhengyi alone.
Why do you say that?
Of course, based on the respect Xing Zhengyi and Zhao Zhenmin have for Director Qin, those who deserve their respect are naturally not bad people. What's more, when Director Qin turned around and looked at him before entering the office, his eyes were full of pity and pity, which immediately reminded him of Uncle Xue. Maybe the old police officers all have something in common, or maybe they are simply the same kind of person.
"...Old Sun, you really shouldn't be as knowledgeable as a child. Otherwise, according to your opinion, I won't give you a letter of praise until everything is clear. But let's let that Hong Yanwu go. Although he He is a prisoner, but the problem is that he has a release certificate. He returned to Beijing according to the regulations and did not escape. If we detain him in this way, what if we find out that there is nothing wrong with him? Look, Hong Yanwu’s actions can still illustrate his attitude towards reform. If others asked, the reason why he was detained was actually because he helped our police handle the case, it would be even more ridiculous..."
Hong Yanwu continued to listen. As expected, Director Qin not only helped Xing Zhengyi smooth things over, but also spoke for him. Unfortunately, things backfired. Although Director Qin sincerely wanted to solve the problem with reasoning, Deputy Director Sun seemed to have misunderstood and did not allow him to continue talking.
"Stop talking, that's enough, that's enough! Lao Qin, Lao Qin, you let Xing Zhengyi set off firecrackers with me in front, and you pretended to be putting out fires in the back and pretending to be a good guy, and you want to play tricks on me again like you did at noon? Let me tell you. , don’t try to launch a surprise attack on me while Captain Tian is away. You two cooperate well, but I won’t be fooled this time.”
Deputy Director Sun's sudden harsh words silenced Director Qin.
This is not over yet. Deputy Director Sun seemed to no longer care about the quarrel and continued to yell viciously. "Don't go around the policy with me. I'm better at this than you, Qin Xing. Why do you have a good attitude towards reform? Let me tell you, only fools like you would think that gangsters can be reformed!"
"Who are you scolding, Sun?" Xing Zhengyi was angry because Director Qin was humiliated and became anxious.
No answer.
Following the sound of "bump", the office door was pushed open heavily. As the glass trembled, Deputy Director Sun, who had cursed someone, rushed out of the director's office with anger on his face. But just when he was about to lower his head and walk down the steps, he stopped again when he saw Hong Yanwu under the tree.
Deputy Director Sun only glanced at Hong Yanwu, and the frown in his eyes was full of contempt and contempt. Immediately afterwards, as if he remembered something, he immediately turned around and shouted towards the office. "My final warning is that not only can you not write letters of praise, but you must also not let people go. If you dare to go your own way, you will have to bear the consequences when Captain Tian comes back!"
After saying that, he ignored Xing Zhengyi's anger and turned around to leave. When he passed by Hong Yanwu, he snorted heavily with disdain.
In this way, Hong Yanwu watched Deputy Director Sun leave. It was not until he walked out of the yard for a long time that he let out a long sigh of relief as if he wanted to let out all the depression in his chest.
To be honest, he really pinched his thigh just now to hold back from convulsing and skinning the old boy on the spot and strangling him to death.
When I was humiliated just now, if anyone wanted to say that he had any broad-minded and far-sighted thoughts in his heart, such as "If you want to make progress, you need to think about regressing, and if you start, consider letting go first," or "endure the humiliation and bear the burden, and seek extension through humiliation," then... Just fart! He is simply swallowing his anger now!
But what can he do if he can't bear it? Even if there is no Deputy Director Sun, there will be other similar people who treat him like this, and there will be such people everywhere.
To be honest, he has already seen it clearly. When that Liu wanted to handcuff him, he didn't feel much guilt towards him, and the other people weren't unhappy seeing him like this. Ever since they learned about his family background, except for Xing Zhengyi, Zhao Zhenmin and Director Qin, the entire Dongzhuang Police Station police officers no longer had any enthusiasm for him, and most of them had an attitude that it had nothing to do with them.
This is the limitation of this era, there is nothing he can do. Family background is such a powerful thing, it can firmly pin people into the ranks of a certain special group of people. As long as he carries this unfortunate family background, he can only continue to be unlucky. What's more, he is also a "double material" with a "high composition", which is enough for him to enjoy any unreasonable and unfair "special treatment".
Hong Yanwu couldn't help but smile bitterly. His current thoughts and feelings are incompatible with this era, but he is still destined to be restricted by certain laws of this era. Faced with this situation, the only thing he could do was to be a surrendered prisoner.
Yes, he was grateful from the bottom of his heart to Xing Zhengyi for speaking up and Director Qin for protecting him. But there must be nothing they can do now, right? Are they still in trouble about him? How long will he be imprisoned? Five days or ten days?
I really didn't expect that he would have to stay in the cell for a few days before going home. This was probably his retribution for helping "Leizi".
It's so ridiculous that he wants a letter of praise as a talisman for his whims.
But who’s to blame? He deserved it all.
Suddenly, the chirping sparrows on the trees and eaves touched a nerve and soared into the sky.
Hearing the sound, Hong Yanwu raised his head and watched the sparrows spread their wings and fly away gradually. He gradually became fascinated.
At this time, there was silence in the courtyard. Except for the branches blown by the wind and the white clouds in the sky, only the smoke coming out of the chimneys of each house was slowly moving...
