MTL - Mystery Hunter-Chapter 326 the beginning of the new year

Colleagues in the Public Security Bureau are still busy, although it is less than three days before the New Year. Most industries have closed their doors, waiting for the new year to have a good business. However, when most people are resting, it is when some industries are busy.

For example, the salesmen of major supermarkets, the waiters who clean the floor against the cold wind, and the police officers who are working overtime at the moment and don’t dare to rest for a moment. The entire Public Security Bureau building was brightly lit. In the office of the Criminal Police, Mr. Shao just told everyone about the crime consultant.

At the end, Shao Lao said: "Everyone has worked hard, and there is no way to go home for reunion during the New Year. However, what we are facing now is not an ordinary criminal. Although we don't know what he is going to do, I know very well. One point, if he can do it, it will definitely cause chaos in Longcheng. At that time, not only will we not be able to have a good New Year, but I am afraid that the citizens of Longcheng will not be able to have a good New Year."

"Cheer up, technology department, you are responsible for monitoring those webpages all the time, ensuring that every webpage has three pairs of eyes watching every second, how to rotate it is arranged by Guan Deng, when the time comes, he will Designate a list for you and send it on your computer. And if you have any news, it will also be gathered here in Guandeng, and then Guandeng will notify us."

"clear."

Mr. Shao said again: "The rest of the criminal police comrades are responsible for searching for people with the following characteristics in the city, together with the police officers of various police stations."

Mr. Shao pointed to a photo on the big screen and said: "Look at the screen, this is the typical dress of a criminal consultant. If you briefly outline it, then it is all black. This is a fixed dress, first of all, a large loose cloak, Bring your own hat, you can completely cover the wearer's body, so you can't see the wearer's figure."

"Secondly, black shoes and black leather gloves." Shao Lao said: "This crime consultant seems to love black, or like darkness. But the most important thing is the mask on the face of the crime consultant. This is the A very special mask, the all-black mask only shows the wearer's two eyes, and under the right eye, there is a tear of blood."

"I saw this mask 20 years ago, and it was worn by Wei Demian's favorite disciple. Twenty years later, I didn't expect this Wei Demian to cultivate a criminal genius. It's a pity, if these people They can all use their ingenuity in the right way, and they could have become great criminal policemen."

Mr. Shao seemed to remember the past. He was silent for a moment before continuing to say: "But no matter how talented they are, as long as they commit a crime, don't think that they can escape. Your task is to remember this Mask. Anyone who wears this mask must be searched thoroughly. If the person is suspicious, they will be locked up first. If the person is not suspicious, the mask will be confiscated."

"clear."

Mr. Shao added: "Everyone has seen it just now. The bottom of those websites is the real number of people who have entered the website. As of the time I took the screenshot, the number of people has almost exceeded 40,000. Although so far, The number of people before the countdown is only a few thousand people, but a few thousand people have almost become troops, Jiang He, tell us your inferences, and let everyone realize the seriousness of this matter."

Jiang He stood up and said to the crowd, "From this series of web pages, the criminal advisor is selecting his followers. After filtering down the layers, I analyzed that the selected people have the following characteristics: One agrees with the idea of ​​a crime consultant, and two, is willing to contribute to this idea."

"Cults are often such a structure." Shao Lao said: "So I said just now, even if there are only a few thousand people like this, under the brainwashing of the group, I can't even imagine what terrible things will happen. In less than seventy-two hours from now, everyone is not allowed to take leave. I allow you to make simple repairs, but you can't leave your post. In this way, except for the colleagues in the technical team, everyone else will immediately give I rest for three hours, and at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, I will leave as scheduled."

"clear."

Under the urging of Mr. Shao, everyone lay on the desk. There is no such a big place in the lounge. These criminal policemen lie on the desk and doze off. In less than a while, the snoring in the office was overwhelming. It seemed that these people were really tired, and they all fell asleep after a while.

Elder Shao tiptoed to open the door and walked out, and Jiang He walked out with Elder Shao.

Shao Lao asked softly, "Go and sleep on your stomach for a while, we still have work to do tomorrow."

Jiang He asked back, "Aren't you going to rest?"

Shao Lao shook his head, waved his hand, and said, "When you are old, you don't need so much sleep. Even if you want to sleep, you can't sleep. It's not strange that you say this, when you were young, you were obviously sleepy. I want to die, but I can't sleep, I feel that there is still something to do. But when you are old and really want to lie down in a place to sleep, you will find that you can't sleep at all."

"Let me tell you, in fact, life is mostly about this." Shao Lao said: "When I was young, I always felt that the current life was not what I wanted, but when I got old, I found that I was mostly in the midst of happiness and didn't know it. But think about it the other way around, why aren’t you happy now? It’s just that you can’t see through it when you’re in it.”

"I don't understand." Jiang He said frankly.

Shao Lao pointed to Jiang He's heart and said, "It's not necessarily a bad thing to not understand, have you seen the stars in the sky?"

"I see." Jiang He replied.

Shao Lao replied: "Someone once told me that when a person dies, he will become a star in the sky. The more people miss him, the brighter the star will be. You see the brightest star in the sky. Is that star there?"

Jiang He nodded, "Of course I can see the brightest one."

"Then do you know who the brightest one is?" Shao Lao asked again.

"Polaris." Jiang He replied.

Old Shao said, "My name is Yang Xiaojuan."

"Yang Xiaojuan?"

Jiang He's IQ is extremely high, and he immediately realized that Shao Lao uses stars to describe people, he said, "Shao Lao, I know that your fiancee Yang Xiaojuan has been dead for decades. But you just said that the stars in the sky are bright. The degree is that the more people miss her, the brighter the star will be. If you say that, the brightest star must be some kind of great man, and at least hundreds of millions of people must miss him, right?"

Shao Lao smiled, but said the same thing: "No, it's called Yang Xiaojuan."

"I still don't understand." Jiang He said.

Shao Lao didn't explain, just said to Jiang He: "When you will understand, you will find the things you lost. But don't worry, I told you that it is your own, even if you let it go. Once you get it, twists and turns, twists and turns, and finally it will return to your hands."

Elder Shao said to Jiang He, "Go back and rest, not for you, but for this case."

Jiang He nodded.

Shao Lao walked a few steps, then turned around and said to Jiang He: "By the way, after this case is over, let's spend a year together, we have no relatives. Jiang He, after this case is over, we will be together. Go to your house for the New Year, okay?"

Shao Lao said: "We call Xu Yiman, we call Guan Deng, and we call Yuan Jun. During this year, we have experienced ups and downs together, and it will be a new year soon. , we'll be a year older soon."

Jiang He and Shao Lao both fell silent. On their faces, the traces of time left on their faces could be clearly seen. Time seems to be a very important thing for both of them. Shao Lao is in his 60s. He probably won't be able to stay on the front line again in the future. His spirit can support it, and his body can't support it anymore.

As for Jiang He, time never slipped away from him. Jiang He remembered everything from the age of six. The big things included the death of his parents, the death of his aunt, and the small things. Twelve I saw an ant on the road when I was seven years old, and I ate a bubble gum when I was seven.

It seems that time has never slipped away from Jiang He, and Jiang He has never felt that time exists in this world, and it is a concept imagined by human beings.

And Jiang He didn't understand, could he still be an ordinary person in the future? Can I find my love back in the future?

At this moment, fireworks suddenly appeared in the distance. Jiang He seemed to hear the happy cries of children in the distance. , and it reached Jiang He's ears.

Neither of them left, but stood still and watched the fireworks bloom.

At this time, I don't know if the fireworks woke up a few people who were sleeping, or if they couldn't sleep at all. When Jiang He and Shao Lao turned around, they saw Xu Yiman, Yuan Jun, and Guan Deng all standing behind them. The five stood outside the Public Security Bureau, watching the fireworks explode in the sky together.

It was not until all the fireworks exploded in the air, and the cold wind blew the smell of gunpowder smoke, that Shao Lao turned around.

The rest of the people were still looking at the sky, and Lao Shao's heart was no longer here.

He suddenly remembered the scene where he and Yang Xiaojuan stood in the public security bureau watching fireworks. At that time, the city had not yet banned fireworks and firecrackers. There were more fireworks than tonight, and they were bigger than tonight. Yang Xiaojuan leaned against Shao Shilin's arms and said softly, "The fireworks are so beautiful. You must accompany me to watch the fireworks every year in the future. Don't refute, this is an order."

Shao Lao laughed, but suddenly wanted to cry.

Because that was already thirty-six years ago.
