Xing Zhengyi stood by the window next to his desk, slightly raising the curtains with his right hand, looking at Hong Yanwu standing in the courtyard with complicated emotions.

He has actually been confused by one thing - why is the humble Hong Yanwu better at catching thieves than the police? As for this issue, it wasn't until just now that Director Qin gave him a practical observation and analysis lesson in the director's office. Only then did he realize that there was reasonable logic in it, and as long as the method was correct, clues could be found.

For example, just from the appearance:

First, the first thing that can be seen at a glance is Hong Yanwu's age, and seventeen or eighteen years old is the peak stage of a person's body and intelligence.

Second, Hong Yanwu’s clothing and hairstyle all bear the typical traces of a labor camp detainee. The labor camp is a big dye vat. From another perspective, it is equivalent to a training class for criminals. People inside will not only be exposed to other criminal methods and methods, but also can fully understand the psychology of criminals through communication with others. Moreover, many of the former criminals on the farm have personal experience in dealing with the police, so they can also learn certain counter-detection capabilities.

Third, Hong Yanwu's physical condition clearly shows that he has been engaged in very heavy physical labor and has good physical strength. Qinghe Farm is not an easy place. After the daily compulsory high physical labor, Hong Yanwu's physical fitness is naturally far superior to other people of the same age.

After this analysis, we found out that Hong Yanwu’s intelligence, physical strength, and experience had been fully cultivated and trained in the labor camp.

However, Director Qin also added one point: the above are only external objective conditions. The key that really determines a person's ability is personal quality, especially learning ability.

Xing Zhengyi also thinks this sentence makes the most sense. If it weren't for this, wouldn't everyone who came out of the labor camp be a master criminal? Forget about running public schools and simply send all the students to labor camps.

Director Qin is indeed worthy of being a director. He can analyze so much useful information just from his appearance. But even though Director Qin was experienced, there were still things he couldn't understand about Hong Yanwu.

Director Qin was mainly surprised that Hong Yanwu's words were clear and logical. Because most people with this kind of expressive ability are people with a certain culture. And in this era where cultural studies have long been neglected, such people are rare even among grassroots cadres, let alone playing around.

Another point is that Hong Yanwu's calmness is also abnormal. Most people would be impatient after waiting in the yard for so long, but Hong Yanwu was still standing calmly, without any anxiety. How would you describe the feeling? Anyway, Director Qin felt that Hong Yanwu's mental age was too mature.

Xing Zhengyi deeply agrees with these two things Director Qin said. He was not only curious about this, but also a little worried. This was all because Director Qin said something again unintentionally. "This Hong Yanwu must never commit another crime, otherwise it will be too difficult to catch him."

Xing Zhengyi was shocked when he heard this. Don't tell me, it's true. It would be good for a person like Hong Yanwu to reform and start a new life, otherwise he would become a career criminal with clever methods of committing crimes. If this kid really does anything illegal in the future, the police in the capital will be really busy, and they will have to scratch the wall if he doesn't.

Xing Zhengyi has vaguely regarded Hong Yanwu as a trustworthy true friend. What he is most worried about now is that the encounter in the police station will cause Hong Yanwu to be hit. What's more, I'm afraid that Hong Yanwu will be "sick" in his heart if he has such a cold water poured on his head, and his mood will get bad, and he will return to the wrong path.

For this reason, Xing Zhengyi especially wanted to have a good chat with Hong Yanwu. He not only wanted to encourage Hong Yanwu, but also wanted to give this kid another warning. But now he could only carry out this task with Zhao Zhenmin's hands. Because he felt guilty and had no face to see her. The reason for this was not that the letter of praise was blown, but another thing that made him even more embarrassed, which was that Uncle Xue couldn't find the five yuan.

Xing Zhengyi did not expect this. He just went to check the stolen goods and gathered together everything on the six thieves, but he didn't have the five yuan with the phone number on it.

He will naturally want to examine the whereabouts of the money. The three boys in the theft gang have the weakest bones. After being trapped, they will resort to all kinds of tricks, whether they should be attacked or not. They even peeped into the women's bathroom a few times, smashed the school glass a few times, and other messy things like that. But no one could tell the specific whereabouts of the five dollars. The three boys only remembered that the money was given to You San, but when they asked You San again, the answer was that the money had already been spent. And You San is really a bit stubborn. No matter how he asks, he can only say this. No one can do anything about such rogue denials, and there is no chance of trying to get You San to start a business.

Xing Zhengyi is already thin-skinned, but when he thinks of the meritorious services he and Zhao Zhenmin have made, they have received awards. But Hong Yanwu was not only almost detained, but even the lost things were not recovered. How could he not be ashamed? I can only ask Zhao Zhenmin to see him off on his behalf.

However, no matter what Xing Zhengyi said, he would not let Hong Yanwu leave in such a clean state, so he roped in Zhao Zhenmin to chip in the money. It's a pity that both of them are careless about money. It's almost the end of the month, and they haven't managed to get much out of the box. Finally, they reached out to their colleagues and managed to collect twenty yuan and fifteen kilograms of food stamps.

When borrowing money, Xing Zhengyi clearly felt from the sneer and puzzled looks of other policemen that everyone was laughing at their indirectness. Naturally, these colleagues didn't understand why they worked so hard to advocate for a labor camp inmate. Xing Zhengyi could even imagine that some people, besides laughing at them for meddling in their own business and causing trouble, might even be wondering whether he and Hong Yanwu were related. Otherwise, why would he rather offend the deputy director than stand up for Hong Yanwu?

Seeing Zhao Zhenmin coming out of the director's office, Xing Zhengyi knew that Hong Yanwu was going to be sent away. In order to see clearly, he wiped the breath on the glass with his hand.

Hong Yanwu and Zhao Zhenmin were talking, and when they turned around, their backs were facing the window. Xing Zhengyi could only see Zhao Zhenmin patting Hong Yanwu on the shoulder and saying something, while Hong Yanwu's back was nodding frequently.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Zhao Zhenmin would point his hand here. Hong Yanwu immediately followed Zhao Zhenmin's hand and turned around. The boy shook his head and looked at the window where he was hiding for a while, then waved his hand.

Xing Zhengyi understood that Zhao Zhenmin must have revealed his location to Hong Yanwu. Feeling guilty, he lowered the curtains and sat down. After waiting for a moment, he looked out the window again, but by this time there was no one in the yard.

Zhao Zhenmin led Hong Yanwu to the gate of Dongzhuang Police Station and took out a cigarette from his pocket.

The two of them puffed on cigarettes and looked at each other, knowing that they were about to break up.

Zhao Zhenmin spoke first. But no matter how thick-skinned he is, he will still get red at this time. "Your money was spent by You San, your letter of commendation was gone, and you were almost detained. Brother, we really can't help you this time."

Hong Yanwu forced a smile. "It's okay. It's not your fault."

Zhao Zhenmin's embarrassment eased a bit and he explained to Xing Zhengyi again. "Besides, Zhengyi is very thin-skinned. You saw it just now. He is embarrassed to see you."

Hong Yanwu thought of the curtains that had been lowered behind the glass window just now, and this time he really smiled. He didn't expect that the cold-faced policeman would act like a big girl and refuse to see anyone for such a small matter. How funny.

Xing Zhengyi looks upright, but he is a bit too taciturn, a bit rigid, and too cold to be approached. He originally thought that this kid had eyes on the top of his head and was a talker without practice. In fact, Xing Zhengyi not only has the courage of a leopard, but also has a fire under his cold appearance. He is a person with a cold face, a warm heart, and a sincere and affectionate person. He knew very well that the reason why he was able to walk out of here today was entirely because of Xing Zhengyi's selfless help.

Zhao Zhenmin then said. "Don't be discouraged. Our leaders can say whatever they want about our family background, etc., but we don't have this idea. From now on, we are buddies."

This was the second time that Hong Yanwu heard Zhao Zhenmin say that he regarded him as a buddy. His mood surged and his expression became serious. Because these days, buddies really don’t talk about things casually. This shows that he has unexpectedly gained a friendship from these two policemen whom he met for the first time.

Zhao Zhenmin winked and smiled at him. "Don't be so serious, you look like a monster. Let me tell you, there are not many people who really admire justice, and you are the only one. Not only him, but me too. Your two moves shocked us all. Catching thieves is called beautiful. , throwing them away one by one, just like carrying a bag."

Hong Yanwu was amused again by Zhao Zhenmin's exaggerated words, and also sighed a little. "I was always dealt with in fights before, but I still had a good time fighting with you, and the beatings were in vain. It's a pity that my hands were soft and I couldn't beat You San into submission. This kid still dared to hang his waist (a native language, referring to being cunning or using small tricks to cause trouble) ”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of him for you."

Zhao Zhenmin patted his chest and took out an electroplated handcuff with a serrated wrist ring from his lower back. It was shiny and had three bright rings connected in the middle. As soon as he took it out, Hong Yanwu's eyes were dazzled.

Zhao Zhenmin was also afraid that Hong Yanwu would not understand and explain the special features of handcuffs. "I just got this from the old policeman. Even if Yousan still dares to show off his hair now, you will know how powerful this thing is once he is cuffed. Look, these cuffs have teeth. Once you cuff them, you will The more you struggle, the more you sink into the flesh."

Hong Yanwu said nothing but just laughed. How could he not recognize this thing? This is commonly known as ‘dog tooth cuffs’.

"After the interrogation, I will handcuff You San for a night today, and I will send you to the 'Artillery Station' tomorrow."

As soon as Hong Yanwu heard what Zhao Zhenmin said, he became excited. You San is now "broken". Anyone who wants to enter the "gun game" will definitely not be able to get out in the short term.

The "Paoju" mentioned here refers to the Paoju Alley in Chengdong District. The place where the high wall and electric grid is located was originally a place where cannons were manufactured during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It became a prison only from the late Qing Dynasty. After the Republic of China, it became the Yanjing Army Prison. During the Japanese and puppet period, it was still a prison where the Japanese held "important criminals". After liberation, the "Artillery Bureau" became the third detention center of the Labor Reform Bureau, and later it will become the Beijing Public Transport Branch, and eventually, it will become the office of the Public Transport Corps.

In fact, it is precisely because of this "gun game" that the term "old gunman" has emerged in the capital's arena. This is entirely based on the specific location of "Pao Bureau", which generally refers to the owners who often enter the Bureau and the detention center.

When people are playing around, they are usually called "old gunners". That's because they often end up in police stations and detention centers when fighting. But "Old Paoer" is not necessarily just playing around, and that's because those who end up in the police station or detention center are not necessarily because of fighting. There are Buddhas, criminals, gardeners, liars, everyone.

In history, the reputation of "Pao Bureau" has skyrocketed since it became a prison, and countless people were imprisoned here. For example, there were the famous anti-Japanese general Ji Hongchang and the later traitor Yoshiko Kawashima. From before liberation to after liberation, the most widely circulated saying in a certain area was "Be honest, or I will send you to the artillery station". This has also made this area synonymous with prison sentences and reeducation through labor. So no matter which gangster or gangster, he would tremble as soon as he heard that he was in a "gun game". In addition to his natural fear, he also knew that if he entered there, things would be very bad.

During this period, since the judicial system had not yet been fully restored, the police station handled cases with extremely simple procedures. It also had the functions of the procuratorate approving arrests and the court convicting people. After the usual quick interrogation, the case was digested on the spot at the police station. This kind of digestion is countless in this era. To superiors, it is called "not handing over conflicts." So what Zhao Zhenmin said was tantamount to directly giving You San a sentence.

"Oh, by the way, where do you live?" Zhao Zhenmin remembered something again and asked suddenly.

Hong Yanwu was a little confused, but he still gave his home address.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhenmin clapped his hands in excitement after hearing this. "That's great. There happens to be a classmate of Zhengyi and I at your street police station. That buddy is called Zhang Baocheng, we're 'Tiechian'. If you have anything on the street, you can go to him directly. We'll give him a call later and tell him about your situation. By the way, Zhengyi specially asked me to remind you that forced labor and family background are nothing. The key is how you go in the future. You must remember the words of Captain Xue and never go astray. "

Hong Yanwu savored this incomprehensible friendship in his heart. The two policemen thought of everything for him.

While moved, and in order to lighten the atmosphere, he deliberately said to Zhao Zhenmin half-jokingly. "Don't worry, I'm actually not bad, I just used to be bad."

"Yes, you will be classified as a good person by us from now on."

Zhao Zhenmin was amused, and then he took out money and food stamps from his pocket. "Take it, we two brothers have gathered together just this much. Although it's not much, it can still be used in emergencies..."

Hong Yanwu didn't expect that they had prepared this. "No, I can't..."

Zhao Zhenmin forced money and food stamps into Hong Yanwu's hands and held them tightly. "Treat us as buddies and stay away from each other. You are in trouble now. Besides, if Captain Xue is here, don't let yourself be sent in again because you have no travel expenses or food money."

Hong Yanwu wanted to refuse, but Zhao Zhenmin glared threateningly. "Take it. What's going on? How dare you disobey the government?"

Hong Yanwu took a deep look at Zhao Zhenmin. After taking the money, he shook Zhao Zhenmin's hand vigorously. "Thank you. Thank you, and...justice."

Zhao Zhenmin then smiled. After thinking about it, he took out another half pack of "Beihai" from his pocket and patted it into Hong Yanwu's hand. "Let's go, don't think too much, go home."

Excited, Hong Yanwu couldn't help but hug Zhao Zhenmin. After that, we walked towards the entrance of the alley.

No need to say anything, it’s all in your heart.

What does it feel like? It's a little warm feeling. Yes, it is warm. It is a temperature that is relatively higher than the surroundings, otherwise people would not feel it. The temperature at this time was destined to become a taste he would never forget.

"Hi!"

Hearing Zhao Zhenmin's shout, Hong Yanwu turned around again.

"I don't have a chance this time. I'll treat you to a drink later. If you have any difficulties, don't forget to say something..."

Hong Yanwu waved his hand, grinned, gave Zhao Zhenmin a meaningful look, and turned away. When he turned his back to Zhao Zhenmin again, a smile quietly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured something in a low voice. "This guy is really interesting. I thought I was discovered by him..."

Zhao Zhenmin kept watching Hong Yanwu's back disappearing at the entrance of the alley. But he didn't expect that just as he turned around and entered the gate, the inner courtyard of the police station suddenly "exploded the temple."

The door of the interrogation room was knocked open with a clang. "Ren, rub, rub", three policemen jumped out of the house. These three people looked like they were in trouble. They all pinched their noses, blushed and shouted all over the courtyard to find Zhao Zhenmin.

What's going on?

Zhao Zhenmin had long forgotten about the incident where Qing Qinghei Lian was so frightened that his pants pockets were pulled down. He didn't tell his comrades at all, so he sent them to squat in the room. When Da Liu went to interrogate him just now, he asked Hei Lian to stand up. As a result, the shoelaces holding his trousers fell off, and feces and urine flowed out, all at once, and all the police officers in the room were smoked out. Liu was the unluckiest. He was closest to the black face, so his shoes were splashed with feces and urine.

"Zhao Zhenmin, where did you go? Come out quickly!"

"Zhenmin, where are you? If you don't come out, we will never end it with you!"

"You are so lacking! You didn't tell us when the prisoner pooped his pants. It stinks..."

Zhao Zhenmin was outside in the courtyard and heard the three policemen crying and howling in the distance, and their voices changed. He is not stupid, how can he come out now? He quickly shrunk and hid behind the door, covering his mouth and grinning evilly, with a sinister look on his face.

But he was so beautiful, he didn’t expect retribution to come soon. In an instant, he suddenly felt a strong feeling in his stomach, pushing downwards. Only then did he remember that he hadn't had time to go to the bathroom since he got up.

Yaoyou didn’t drink water, eat, or go to the toilet all day long. No one would believe it, so he still had such a job? But during this period, Zhao Zhenmin and Xing Zhengyi were so busy every day. No one forces it, it’s entirely their own free will. This is the police.

His stomach revolted, forcing Zhao Zhenmin to search for toilet paper in his pockets. He touched his right pocket and hurriedly took out a handful of banknotes.

Huh? Isn't this the money and food stamps he just gave to Hong Yanwu? When did this kid put the money back into his pocket?

He blinked and didn't understand it yet, and his stomach was getting even more confused.

Ouch. My stomach is really strong, look at it, ouch...

At this moment, Director Qin’s loud voice was heard shouting from the courtyard. "Da Liu, please stop yelling now. I'll take care of that boy Zhao Zhenmin when he comes back. You take him to the toilet and clean up first..."

The toilet Director Qin was talking about was the internal toilet of Dongzhuang Police Station, which was located in the inner courtyard. A small side door was opened for this purpose. The police and prisoners usually do not need to use the public toilets outside, which is safe and clean. The only drawback is that it is small and the toilet is a pit.

In peacetime, Zhao Zhenmin would rather die than come out of this situation, but at this time, he couldn't even think about jumping out. If the toilet is to be occupied by Liu, he will have to empty his pants pockets immediately. He didn't dare to hide anymore and hurriedly rushed into the inner courtyard, "Hey, hey! Wait!"

As soon as Director Qin heard Zhao Zhenmin's voice, he roared like a thunderbolt as if dynamite had been lit. "Zhao Zhenmin, you little bastard! Where have you been hiding? Get me the toilet and flush it properly. If you don't clean it, I will punish you!"

Someone said later that Director Qin’s voice was not yelling, but “roaring” because the teacups in the office were so shaken that they jumped up, and even the glass windows in the courtyard buzzed. .

Needless to say, Zhao Zhenmin’s little sweetheart was of course frightened and beating wildly. But there was something more painful for him than this, that was Director Qin shouting the word "toilet". He was in a hurry now, so it would be better if he didn't mention the toilet. As soon as he heard the word, he felt that the commotion in his stomach was getting bigger.

Ouch, my stomach hurts, and it’s becoming more and more unbearable. No way, if we don't hurry up, something will really happen.

Zhao Zhenmin couldn't wait to rush to the toilet, but in his haste, he stopped the brake after running two steps. No matter what, the situation is so critical that it has reached a critical point. In this case, he could only hold the back door with gritted teeth and continued to move in small steps while shouting at the top of his lungs into the courtyard.

"Director Qin, I...I have to go to the toilet first. Please find someone to bring me toilet paper..."

Zhao Zhenmin rolled his eyes and shouted these words, then he clutched his stomach and crouched, his face twisted in pain, and walked straight to the toilet with small steps.

After a while, a burst of laughter from the policemen came from the inner courtyard.

Since then, a jingle has been circulating within the Dongzhuang Police Station:

When the director roared, the glass shook, frightening Zhenmin, and the **** banged the door...
