NOS Chapter 26
by VolareChapter 26 Thousand Jin Ping (2)
Li Ying was relatively calm at first, but after hearing this question, he suddenly yelled, “Police officers, how would I know the suspect? How would I know the suspect? Are you going to arrest me and put me in jail again?”
“No…”
“I know, I know I’ve done wrong, but that was so long ago, I’ve reformed, I really have reformed!” Li Ying, disregarding what Guan Yao wanted to say, immediately started wailing in the Linchang (Forest Farm) Police Station’s office. “I spent almost twenty years inside, my family is ruined, my wife and children are scattered, what else do I have? Tell me, what else do I have? The little money I had left has also been stolen. I’m law-abiding, I really am law-abiding, police officers, please don’t arrest me, I beg you…”
“Uncle, uncle!” Na Fei had to step forward to support Li Ying, who was about to kneel, and advised him gently, “Uncle, we’re just trying to understand the situation, these are necessary procedures, please understand and cooperate, okay?”
“What procedures?” Li Ying wiped the snot and tears from his face. “Why don’t you go ask other people if they know him? Just because I’ve done wrong, so you come and ask me, right? You’re asking me just because I’ve done wrong!”
The others were a little helpless, but they had indeed brought Li Ying back for questioning precisely because of this reason.
But Li Ying really seemed to be unaware.
Guan Yao sighed, suppressed his temper, and said gently, “Uncle, I’ll ask one last question, a question that has nothing to do with the incident on the bus the other day. After I ask, we’ll be done for today, and you can just sit here and wait for them to bring Qin Tian back, okay?”
Li Ying shrank into the chair, not saying a word.
“Uncle,” Guan Yao ignored Na Fei’s attempt to stop him, and stepped forward to say, “Back when you were working at the No. 2 Timber Factory, did you ever see a man named Qian Guowei?”
“What?” Li Ying slowly raised his head.
“Qian Guowei,” Guan Yao repeated loudly, “Uncle, have you ever seen Qian Guowei?”
“It seems like there was such a person,” Li Ying hesitated for a moment, then answered, “I can’t remember clearly, but it seems like there was such a person.”
Guan Yao wanted to ask more, but he knew that he wouldn’t get anything more out of him even if he did, so he said, “Then, Uncle, think about it carefully when you get home. If you remember anything, give the Linchang Police Station a call, okay? If you provide important clues, we’ll give you a reward.”
“Okay, okay,” Li Ying agreed repeatedly.
Not long after the questioning ended, and just as Han Chen and Na Fei were leaving, Li Xiaotian and Fang Wang led the drunken Qin Tian back.
This kid was almost thirty years old this year, and he was fairly handsome and fair-skinned, but his expression was still irresponsible. He sat in front of Guan Yao, let out a loud burp, and the stench almost made the police officer vomit his lunch.
“Sit up straight,” Guan Yao reprimanded with a frown.
Qin Tian immediately saluted and shouted, “Yes, sir!”
Guan Yao just wanted to punch him in the face. “It’s not even dark yet, how much did you drink?”
Li Xiaotian answered from the side, “When we got there, there were three empty bottles on the ground.”
“Baijiu?” Guan Yao doubted Qin Tian’s alcohol tolerance.
“Beer,” Li Xiaotian raised his short, dark, and thick eyebrows.
Guan Yao fanned the air with some disgust, and turned to order Meng Changqing, “Go handcuff him to the law enforcement area, let him sober up first.”
Logically speaking, this was how it had always been done in the past, and Qin Tian, as a “regular” at the Linchang Police Station, usually didn’t object. But for some reason, today, when Meng Changqing went up to pull him, this person struggled for no reason.
“What are you doing? What are you doing?” Guan Yao pointed at him and shouted, “You want to fight now?”
Qin Tian stiffened his neck, looking self-righteous. “You dare to handcuff me? You actually dare to handcuff me?”
Guan Yao didn’t bother listening to his drunken ravings. “If I don’t dare to handcuff you, who will? Take him away now.”
Qin Tian continued to yell, “Guan, my brother is back, how dare you handcuff me?”
“What the hell?” Guan Yao didn’t want to argue with this drunkard at first, but upon hearing these words, he immediately became angry, grabbed Qin Tian’s collar and cursed, “You bastard, if you want to die, just say so, don’t act crazy in front of me!”
“Hey, Lao Guan,” Li Xiaotian quickly stepped between the two before the situation escalated, and winked at Meng Changqing, “Take him away, take him away.”
Guan Yao’s anger hadn’t subsided, and his teeth itched with rage. He followed all the way out of the office, preparing to personally handcuff this drunkard with silver handcuffs.
Who knew that as soon as he got outside, he saw Yu Chunming leaning against the pillars of the doorway, smoking. He was flipping a lighter absentmindedly while enjoying the sight of the clumsy Officer Meng “battling” the flailing drunkard Qin Tian. This person looked carefree, with no intention of helping at all.
Guan Yao saw him, forgot his anger at Qin Tian, went up and snatched the cigarette from his mouth, and asked, “Where did you get the lighter?”
“Just bought it,” Yu Chunming said, reasonably and confidently, “What’s wrong? Does my salary also have to be handed over to Officer Guan?”
Guan Yao’s ears twitched, wondering what nonsense this person was talking about? But his face remained calm as he replied, “If you want to give it, it’s not like I can’t accept it.”
Yu Chunming raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the person in front of him with an ambiguous smile. “Why does Officer Guan always want to control me?”
Guan Yao snuffed out the fire for him, and again, without allowing him to resist, confiscated the lighter and cigarette case. “I’m your leader, if I don’t control you, will you fly to the sky?”
After saying that, he paused briefly, finally asking the question he had always wanted to know, “Where… do you live? I’ll have Xiao Meng take you back. Or, how about staying at my house?”
“No need,” Yu Chunming paused for a moment before answering, “I live here, cough, I live in the dormitory behind here.”
Guan Yao was stunned. “The dormitory behind here?”
“Yeah,” Yu Chunming said casually, “When I transferred here, the organization arranged for me to stay in the police family building, but the heating pipes in the family building burst last month, and the house was flooded, so I moved to the police station first. I thought it would only be for a couple of days, so I didn’t go out to find a house, but it still hasn’t been repaired.”
Guan Yao was still stuck on the word “dormitory,” and he said incredulously, “The dormitory at our police station is just a prefabricated house in the backyard, without even heating. You have to use a stove in the winter, how can you live in that place?”
Yu Chunming thought for a moment, then replied, “Maybe because… I’m easy to take care of.”
To be honest, in Guan Yao’s eyes, he wasn’t an easy person to take care of. This guy was picky about food, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn’t eat. He also got sick easily when he was too tired. Such a delicate flower, let alone their Za Mu Er Linchang Police Station, couldn’t afford to raise, maybe even the Songlan Municipal Bureau couldn’t afford to raise him.
“Doesn’t look like a northeastern man at all,” Guan Yao had once defined Yu Chunming in his heart.
Therefore, at this time, when he heard the phrase “easy to take care of,” he inexplicably felt a sense of indescribable feeling.
–Yu Chunming, once must have been high-spirited people, how to his Za Mu Er, became this look?
However, before Guan Yao could turn things upside down in his mind, Meng Changqing cried out, he howled: “Master Master! This Qin Tian is going crazy and wants to hurt himself!”
Hearing these words, the two standing at the door ran over together.
Qin Tian was originally handcuffed to the bench in the law enforcement area, and he was fine when Meng Changqing left, but in the blink of an eye, he suddenly started banging his head against the wall.
As soon as Guan Yao walked in, he heard two “thuds.” Qin Tian, who didn’t know if he had knocked himself unconscious, was sprawled on the chair, the blood from the back of his head had flowed to the ground, and he was still saying something “Jiju” in his mouth. The whole person didn’t look like he was drunk, but more like he was high.
As soon as Yu Chunming saw Qin Tian, his breath caught in his throat. He stepped forward quickly, straightened the person from his squatting position, and asked, “Is he on drugs?” after determining that he wasn’t choking.
Meng Changqing stood aside, at a loss. “No, can’t be.”
“Did you do a urine test?” Yu Chunming slapped Qin Tian’s face twice, signaling him to open his eyes.
“Urine test?” Meng Changqing woke up as if from a dream. “Not yet.”
“What are you thinking about all day, go get the test strips,” Guan Yao ordered.
Yu Chunming had already pried open Qin Tian’s eyelids and checked for a long time. He frowned and said, “Most likely he’s using.”
Guan Yao “tsk”ed and went up to pinch Qin Tian’s chin to look at his eyes. “This kid really… really doesn’t make people worry.”
Yu Chunming stood up straight, stared at Qin Tian, who was slumped in the chair, and asked, “Does he not have a job? What does he usually do?”
“What does he do?” Guan Yao said, hating that iron cannot become steel. “This kid is just a bum, a local gangster all day long, not doing his job properly. In the early years, he knew how to make money, but now he only knows how to steal and do petty theft. Just the month before you came, he was just released from the detention center. And last year during the New Year, he gambled in Changlian, lost 30,000 yuan, and was chased to his house to collect debts. If I hadn’t been home, not to mention him, even his mother would probably have been killed.”
Yu Chunming listened quietly, without saying a word.
Guan Yao squatted down halfway, looking at the muddled Qin Tian, and continued, “His family is really difficult. This kid was born to his mother in the countryside in violation of the family planning policy. When he was two or three years old, his biological father fell into a ditch while walking home from the night shift in the winter. He wasn’t saved. His stepfather was an alcoholic and abusive. Once, he almost fractured the heads of the mother and son. His brother also…”
What about his brother?
Guan Yao suddenly stopped, but Yu Chunming knew very well that Qin Tian’s brother left Za Mu Er when he was six years old, and hasn’t returned in more than twenty years.
“Alright, let’s put him here for now,” Guan Yao said, seeing that Qin Tian was squinting his eyes and about to fall asleep, so he stopped talking. He pulled Yu Chunming out of the law enforcement area, “Let’s do the urine test tomorrow morning when he wakes up.”
Yu Chunming hesitated for a moment, but still asked, “Don’t you want to notify his mother?”
Guan Yao paused, then shook his head. “It’s useless to notify her, his mother is not a clear-headed person.”
These words were drowned out by a deep sigh. Guan Yao didn’t seem to dislike Qin Tian, he was just a little heartbroken, or… remorseful.
That’s right, Yu Chunming clearly saw the remorse in Guan Yao’s expression, as if teaching Qin Tian to walk the right path was not the responsibility of his mother, Jiang Min, but his responsibility. Obviously, this didn’t fall within the scope of the people’s police, but Guan Yao insisted on including this person in his own territory.
Why? Yu Chunming asked in his heart, why?
However, this chaotic night didn’t give him a chance to ask the question in person. Qin Tian quickly woke up from the short-lived pleasure brought by the drugs, and then began to vomit, shout, struggle, and make noise, and then banged his head against the wall again.
The doctors and nurses who rushed over from the Municipal Hospital fussed for a while, and finally settled the person down at three o’clock in the morning. Guan Yao and Meng Changqing had to work together to carry him into the detention room. They thought that everything would be fine until dawn, but unexpectedly, the person woke up again half an hour later and kept shouting, trying to leave the police station.
Just when everyone was exhausted physically and mentally, Yu Chunming miraculously calmed Qin Tian down. But in the end, he didn’t actually do anything, just walked to the door of the detention room and pointed to the row of chairs to Qin Tian: “Get up there.”
Qin Tian got up from the ground on all fours like the dog he raised, and then sat quietly on the chair.
“It’s really strange,” Guan Yao couldn’t believe it.
Yu Chunming looked calm. He had just sat aside and measured his temperature. The person who didn’t take his body seriously after staying up all night finally burned to 39℃ as he wished.
“Can I take antipyretics?” Yu Chunming was so sore that he couldn’t move. He leaned back on the small sofa, blocking his eyes with one hand, and said weakly, “When is Officer Guan going to write me an approval?”
Guan Yao glanced at Meng Changqing, who was typing away not far away. “I’ll have Xiao Meng take you to the clinic, did you not go at all?”
Yu Chunming sighed. “I don’t want a shot.”
“You’re afraid of needles?” Guan Yao’s voice changed slightly.
Yu Chunming freed up one eye to look at him. “I’m not afraid of needles, I just don’t like the smell of disinfectant.”
Guan Yao got up to pull him. “Then let’s go, I’ll take you home, and then have Guan Ning get some medicine from the hospital and give you a shot when we get back.”
Yu Chunming asked dizzyly, “Go to which home? I live here.”
“Go to my house!” Guan Yao raised his voice and said into his ear, “You’re lying alone in the back dormitory, no one will know if you burn to death, let’s go, let’s go, don’t waste time here.”
“What about Qin Tian?” Yu Chunming asked incoherently.
“Qin Tian?” Guan Yao didn’t notice this person’s excessive concern for Qin Tian at all. He pulled his cotton coat and wrapped it around Yu Chunming, and then answered, “I’ll interrogate Qin Tian, and I’ll send him to the detention center tonight.”
“Then what about his drug use?” Yu Chunming asked worriedly.
“Drug use…” Guan Yao rubbed his forehead wearily. “He wasn’t using drugs when he went to the detention center a few months ago. This should be his first offense. If I can find out where the drugs came from after he wakes up, that would be good. If I can’t find out, I’ll send him in for ten days first.”
“Okay,” Yu Chunming sighed again.
