Macbeth (twenty-six)
Tao Ran stood blankly at the corner of the corridor, blocking the road. Several medical staff who were pushing the hospital bed impatiently called him "to give in" and then he woke up from the wall and retreated to the side as if he was dreaming.
"…Police Tao, hey, Deputy Team Tao, are you still here?"
When Tao Ran was in a state of silence, he didn't hear anything Lang Qiao said, so he quickly lowered his head and rubbed his nose: "Ah, what else is there?"
Lang Qiao lowered his voice: "During this period, Zhou Junmao first had an accident in China, then Zhou Huaijin was kidnapped, Zhou Huaixin was assassinated, and now Zheng Kaifeng and Yang Bo were mysteriously bombed to death... These people are not ordinary people. Deputy Tao, you have to be mentally prepared. Director Lu rushed over after hearing about this. Before he could sit down, he answered a phone call and was called away."
Tao Ran frowned: "What does it mean?"
Lang Qiao sighed: "I'll just say it right-Zhou's investment in China in recent years and has a deeper overseas background. After we started the investigation procedures against their company in China, we have been trying every means to obstruct it. Now we are making trouble on the grounds that something happened to Zheng Kaifeng and Zhou Huaijin and Hu Zhenyu were detained for no reason. There is news in foreign media that it believes that this is a conspiracy against Zhou. We just received an emergency notice, asking the boss to make a written explanation of everything today and write an inspection. Before the internal investigation is over, the relevant person in charge will temporarily... be suspended."
Tao Ran leaned his back against the pale and mottled wall of the hospital, rubbed his back with no concern, and he paused for a second: "I didn't hear it clearly, Xiao Qiao, say it again."
Lang Qiao didn't dare to say anything.
Tao Ran's tongue surfed three times in his mouth, and even counted several wisdom teeth clearly. He probably used the energy to eat, so he held back and said nothing.
If he was still sweating like a rush, and was so scared that he felt cold, at this time, Tao Ran's body's temperature slowly dropped in the autumn night wind, but his internal organs fell into the boiling pot, and the boiling fire made the blood around him rumble. Tao Ran took a few deep breaths one after another, but still couldn't replenish the oxygen consumed from the "burning".
Tao Ran asked: "What does Director Lu say?"
"The Lu Bureau has no choice," said Lang Qiao. "Two such big things happened in one day today, and the impact is too bad. Now there are all things to say, conspiracy theories, and those who question our irregularities and incompetence. You know that Wang Hongliang's incident happened just before, and everyone has a slight feeling in their hearts. Many people think that the police are not trustworthy..."
Good things don’t go out, bad things go through thousands of miles.
Whether it is to break into the drug trafficking gang alone to obtain key evidence, or to command Ruoding to successfully rescue a car of kidnapped children, search for evidence all night long, and solve major unsolved cases that have been solved for more than 20 years - these are all worth mentioning.
Only when something happens, everyone will panic together, and for a moment, everyone seems to have a golden eye that can penetrate uniforms and skins at one glance. Every bone you see is inlaid with the word "conspiracy".
Everyone asks you to explain that if a horrible thing cannot be found, someone will always be responsible for it.
"It's okay," Maybe because the person who called him was a girl, the man would always be more restrained in front of the girl. Tao Ran finally managed to control his verbal words. "It's okay, Xiao Qiao, don't be nervous for now. I'll write this report and when I go back to the inspection, don't disturb Team Luo first. Anyway, it's not much different for him now, otherwise can a disabled person go back to work overtime? It's just right to save you from taking sick leave."
Lang Qiao: "Now..."
"Now what you should do, don't stop checking Zheng Kaifeng, keep digging deeper. No matter what resistance or resistance, Zheng Kaifeng is dead, can you find any flowers? Second, start with Zhou Huaijin and Hu Zhenyu. Zhou Huaijin wants to cooperate with us. Hu Zhenyu also has real power in the headquarters of the Zhou family's Yancheng. Even if they don't have some conclusive evidence, they know more than us. If necessary, let Zhou Huaijin issue a statement. After all, he is the real heir of Zhou family. Third... Third..." Tao Ran paused, his fingers pinched the phone and made his knuckles turn white, and the blue veins on the back of his hand jumped up. He tried several times but failed to say the "third".
How to say it - there is an insider among us, must we investigate thoroughly?
How to check?
Summon everyone into the "little black room" alone, and let everyone "be honest and lenient and resist strict" like a criminal trial?
It is not enough to make the wind and rain outside, so is it necessary to consume internally on this basis?
Who should he tell?
Who else can he trust now?
"President Tao, what's the third one?"
"I've not thought about it yet," Tao Ran replied to her with some difficulty, "Let me think about it first, and wait until I have straightened out my thoughts."
Lang Qiao was frightened by his seemingly calm and confident tone. At this time, Tao Ran called her and repeated again: "Don't disturb Team Luo, the rest are really okay, don't worry."
Just listening to this sound, you can almost hear the usual warm smile of Deputy Tao.
Lang Qiao did not doubt that he was there, and said "Okay" and cut off the phone.
Tao Ran was in his heart with a breath, and he couldn't get up or down. As the busy voice sounded on the phone, the last bit of peace he forced to hold out was also destroyed. He wished he could jump, step into a shocking pit with one foot, and roared "Fuck/Your ancestor" that had been circling the beam for three days.
Everyone who passed by him subconsciously accelerated his pace after seeing Tao Ran's expression, fearing that he was going to be a medical fight with a knife. The two patrol "special security guards" stared at him with vigilance.
Tao Ran suddenly raised his cell phone and pointed it at the wall opposite, trying to smash it hard on it.
The moment when the phone was about to be released, Tao Ran remembered the two miscellaneous things in his salary card. He paid back the loan this month, and the remaining money was not enough for him to buy a decent new phone. He had to contact his colleagues, summarize the situation, adapt to the situation, and prepare to report to his superiors at any time, and dared not lose contact at will.
So he barely recovered his cell phone that was almost dead. He had no way to vent his anger, so he had to remove the plastic cell phone case, acted as a scapegoat, and smashed an innocent and helpless person to pieces.
At this time, a female voice who always seemed to have a smile said, "Oh, Xiao Tao, who are you angry with?"
I saw three people coming down the elevator on the other side of the corridor, a young man who was a few steps behind to help carry things, a middle-aged couple - the man was very tall, except for his serious expression and serious smile, he was simply a middle-aged and elderly version of Luo Wenzhou. The woman was wearing a long-sleeved dress, smiling, and not very old. Tao Ran had seen him several times and was Luo Wenzhou's parents.
Tao Ran was stunned, then subconsciously stood up straight: "Hello, uncle, hello."
Luo Wenzhou's mother Mu Xiaoqing took out an apple from the fruit basket carried by the person next to him and stuffed it to Tao Ran. He touched his head easily: "Look, it makes us Xiao Tao angry."
Tao Ran was so amused and crying: "Captain Luo is there."
Luo Wenzhou's father Luo Cheng nodded at him in a very restrained manner. He first looked at him, then took his hands behind his back and walked towards Luo Wenzhou. When he arrived in front of the injured, the old man didn't say anything, blocked the light and coughed heavily.
Luo Wenzhou raised his head with red eyes and looked at his father. Then he reached out to pick up the crutch that had fallen to the ground at some point, stood up, and moved to the side with a well-trained look, giving him a seat for his father.
Luo Cheng was not polite to him, and gently lifted his trousers and sat in the injured position with peace of mind. He sat the broken chair in the hospital with a momentum of looking down on the world, as if there was a "iron throne" under his butt.
Then he commented on Luo Wenzhou's new look: "You can go to the subway to beg for food with a broken pocket."
Luo Wenzhou looked silent with a wooden face.
Luo Cheng said again: "Isn't it just a suspension of work and writing a check-up? Are you as for it?"
Tao Ran: “…”
He repeatedly ordered someone to hide this matter from the first - although the paper could not contain the fire, at least don't disturb Luo Wenzhou at this time. Unexpectedly, when this father came, he tore the paper directly!
Luo Wenzhou turned his head and glanced at Tao Ran. Tao Ran quickly turned his gaze and was about to leave: "Uh...you talk first, I'll answer the phone."
Luo Wenzhou: "Wait!"
Tao Ran paused and looked at him in embarrassment.
Luo Wenzhou closed his eyes and was silent in the heavy smell of medicine.
He was still tinnitus, replaying the loud noise of the explosion moment repeatedly, and still having a little hallucination. He always felt that the idle door in front of him was ringing, ready to declare a person's fate at any time.
Tao Ran: "Wen Zhou..."
"You go back to find Uncle Lu," Luo Wenzhou suddenly interrupted him, "Let him deal with this matter seriously, the more serious the better - during my suspension of inspection, the criminal investigation team started an internal investigation from top to bottom, and no personnel involved were allowed to go on the traffic communication equipment, and prepared to talk one by one."
Tao Ran was stunned and then immediately reacted - this was a good opportunity to catch the insider!
At this time, Luo Cheng spoke next to him again: "Even if the US president kills and sets fire in our country, we have the right to pursue the investigation - to invest and build. We welcome it. It is best for everyone to make money together and develop together. As for those with other intentions, what should we do? Yancheng has developed to this point, and some people are willing to take the free ride of development. What era is it? There is no need to curry favor with these ill-intentioned "God of Wealth" - this is what I said, Xiao Tao, please tell you Lu Bureau together."
Tao Ran just now, with a hanging breath, fell to the ground and turned around and was about to leave.
At this moment, the door of the intensive care unit opened again. Luo Wenzhou's crutch slipped on the ground for some reason. He shook his whole body and almost turned around again. He simply pinched the crutch under his arm and jumped over with one leg. Tao Ran was afraid that he would shake his brain out of the tsunami, so he quickly reached out to hold him down and grabbed the front with a steadily: "Nurse!"
The nurse took off her mask and looked down at the list on her hand: "The patient should have issued a 'notice' just now, and it has been printed out, but now the situation is a little more stable. Please take a look. If you don't sign it, don't sign it."
Tao Ran hurriedly asked, "Then how is he doing now?"
"The most dangerous time has not passed yet, so it's hard to say," said the nurse. "It seems that it is developing in a good direction now. After all, I'll wait for the notice... Oh, that guy with crutches, what's wrong with you? Are you also hospitalized here? Why don't you go back to the ward so late?"
Tao Ran: "Let's go now, let's go now, he is worried, the patient inside is..."
Luo Wenzhou: "It's my lover."
Nurse:"……"
Tao Ran bit his tongue in one bite and almost bit off a piece of meat. He suddenly saw blood, which made him cry.
Luo Wenzhou asked again: "Then can I stay here for a while?"
The nurse didn't know if it was hunched or very knowledgeable. She said "Oh", said nothing, and turned around and left.
Tao Ran, Mu Xiaoqing and Luo Cheng turned their six eyes at the same time, like six searchlights side by side, hitting Luo Wenzhou together.
Luo Wenzhou and other idle people turned a blind eye to each other and did not explain that he used a "future tense". He staggered to the trash can in the corner of the wall, bent down and vomited.
A series of rescue measures are scientific and rapid, and are not subject to the patient's weak will.
For a few seconds, Fei Du briefly recovered his consciousness under the strong stimulation, and was pulled out of the boundless nightmare. He vaguely heard the noise of medical devices in his ears, and it came and went like a tide. The rhythmic sounds somehow twisted and deformed in his ears and turned into a familiar piece of music.
The gloomy villa, the eyes of women, the dead flowers, the electric shock room that painted the ground into prison... all the rich colors he experienced in his life turned into silhouettes, filling the singing thousands of cycles.
"You cannot obey! You cannot surrender!" The woman suddenly pierced his chaotic eardrum with a crazy hysterical voice, "What have I read to you? 'Man can be destroyed, but cannot be defeated' - Feidu! Feidu!"
