Longmen Memoirs

"Ah."

"I don't deserve this."

"You are indeed not worth it." Chen said. She hid in the corner of the corridor with Cass on her back, and watched a group of people running through the corridor in front of her in the dark. Chen did not come out again until the footsteps faded away.

"Then why..."

"Longmen's laws are worth it, this city is worth it, even if you are not a citizen of Longmen." Chen replied: "You have done something wrong and you should be judged by Longmen, a fair trial. Otherwise, no one is qualified to decide your fate." Life or death."

"Ah……"

"What I said is ridiculous?"

"If it were in Casimir, your words would be respected by many people. You are an upright person, Miss Chen, but... you also know that there are many things that are difficult to distinguish between right and wrong."

"So this is why you decided to trade your life for the future lives of those children."

"..."

Cass fell silent.

"That's all I can do for them."

"But it's stupid." Chen replied: "It's really stupid."

"Yes."

"In the final analysis, Longmen is also responsible for this." Chen suddenly said: "If Longmen hadn't done a good job, there wouldn't be an opportunity for you, an outsider, to do this."

Cass was a little surprised.

"I take back what I said before. I'm sorry. At least there are police officers like you in this city."

"I hope you didn't say this because I saved you now. No need to apologize. You didn't say anything wrong. Longmen is indeed not that good. This is a fact. I know very well that even now, there are many people in this city. Life is still hard and they have to do a lot of wrong things and even commit crimes."

“You want to change this city?”

"At least I have to finish what I am doing first." Chen said, "But I will also arrest them, including you, no matter what the reason is for them to do what they do. This is my duty. After that, I will correct and Avoiding the mistakes that really force them to choose to live like this is what this Longmen City and I should really do."

"Isn't it too late?"

“As long as you’re doing it, it’s never too late.”

"I probably understand." Cass replied, and then asked: "Before that, can you allow me to see those children again, Officer Chen."

"can."

Cass closed his eyes gently.

"……thanks."

Jiu's face looked ugly.

When Chen watched the police officers from the Guards Bureau appear from the entrance of the passage, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and released the weapon in her hand.

"If you hadn't cut off the gate of the underground garage, we wouldn't have been able to find your location yet."

"Nine, you..."

"Strange why I'm here?"

"Not at all." Chen said, watching the medical staff carrying Cass into the ambulance, she looked back at Jiu in front of her: "Is this part of your plan?"

"Before you and Star Bear, I had contact with that Kuranta in advance."

"What did you promise him?"

Chen Wen put Chi Xiao back into the scabbard on his waist.

"Let a few children stay in Longmen until adulthood." Jiu did not hide anything: "It seems there is no need for it now."

Chen took a breath.

Even if she could guess it, she was still a little angry and aggrieved. She had no choice but to take a breath and suppress her emotions.

"Ever since you asked Xingxiong to contact me deliberately and tell you about the underground boxing ring, I guessed that you planned to do something with this matter."

"Do you think I'm hiding it from you on purpose?"

"Isn't it?" Chen asked, looking directly into Jiu's eyes.

"If I tell you in advance that the inspection team is going to take action here, what are you going to do?" Jiu asked: "You and I both know that, Chen, you are not yet a member of the inspection team. Even if I tell you the action of the inspection team, you have nothing to do." You have the right to participate, but now you have acted privately and left your post without permission."

"..." Chen was speechless.

"Take great pains..." Chen said helplessly and angrily.

"Just think of it like this."

"How is Xing Xiong doing?" Chen asked again.

"She's still alive. You don't know her past. You can't stop her even with this little force."

"I heard people call her Ghost Sister. She used to..."

"If you really want to know Jiu, ask her yourself, provided she is willing to tell you." Jiu replied: "By the way, your partner has been feeling better for a few days, how do you feel?"

Chen was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately. She seemed to have remembered something.

"not bad."

"I plan to arrange for you to act together after you are transferred to the inspection team."

Chen didn't answer. She looked behind Jiu and seemed to see someone.

The fox stopped in front of a small parking lot not far from the underground boxing ring.

The dark night sky in Longmen, the dim light of street lamps, and the heat of breath are clearly visible in the cold winter night.

Fox took back his hand on the car door.

She turned around.

Chen stood looking at her under the streetlight a few steps away. The light stretched the shadow of the young police officer to the ground. Chen looked in the direction of the fox and put one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Rare visitor, what's wrong?"

There was no surprise in Fox's words. Chen lowered his gaze and looked at the portfolio in her hand.

"Why are you here?"

"That's the question." Fox looked at Chen's fingers on the hilt of the sword: "I want to ask in advance, if my answer doesn't satisfy you, will you take action?"

"I don't promise."

"That's it." Fox replied calmly: "Actually, it's obvious, isn't it? Miss Chen, the reason why I'm here is the same as you."

The inspection team hopes that we will assist them in handling this case. Chief Wei is also worried about your safety, so I am here. "

Chen didn't answer. She was skeptical about the officer Wei in the fox's mouth.

The fox did not continue to speak.

She and Chen Huijie had nothing to talk about.

They just looked at each other. After a few seconds, Chen asked, "What is that in your hand?"

"It's just some useless information." Fox said, and she walked towards Chen.

Chen drew his sword and the blade fell in front of the fox.

Looking at the sharp sword about ten centimeters in front of him.

The fox raised the portfolio in his hand.

"It's okay if you want to see it, but..."

"But what?"

"It's better not to look at it." Fox used the file bag to push Chen's sword aside: "Don't say I didn't remind you."

Chen fell silent.

After a few seconds, the fox put the portfolio down.

"We are old acquaintances after all, Miss Chen. It would be wrong to draw a sword as soon as we meet." The fox smiled and looked at Chen who looked indifferent in front of him.

"I know there's a nice little shop nearby. I've been busy for most of the night. Why don't you go have a drink? I'll take it."

"What's your idea?"

Chapter 60 Uneasy Kindness

[Someone once asked me if I had any dreams. In people’s eyes, a guy like me, who is cold and boring and no one wants to get in touch with him, shouldn’t have that kind of thing in his mind.

So I answered him, no.

I don’t have that kind of dream, and I don’t live in my dream anymore.

...I lied.

There should always be some thoughts in people's life. Thoughts that are not dreams, and it doesn't matter whether they can be realized. As long as you know where it is and have experienced it, your heart can calm down. 】

"What? It doesn't suit your taste."

Late at night in Longmen, a street restaurant is located in a remote part of Xiacheng District.

The fox picked up the fried dumplings placed on the plate in front of him and took a bite. He turned his head and looked at Chen, who was sitting next to him. The fried dumplings placed in front of Chen were untouched.

They were the only two customers in the small street food shop. The shop was decorated in the traditional Yanguo style. The thick curtains were lowered to block the cold wind outside the shop. A lantern hung at the door, and there were several pots with yellow leaves on both sides. Potted plants, no plants in sight, warm yellow lighting and decoration in the store, heat rising from under the price list above the wooden counter.

The boss is a film man over fifty years old.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Chen asked, his eyes falling on the file bag that Fox placed on the counter, and then looking at her face.

The night outside the store is getting darker and darker. The neon lights of the city have dispelled the camouflage of the night. The dim lights of the street lights are alone exposed in the night. The lights of the tall buildings in the distance become gradually hazy with distance.

Ten minutes ago, Chen did not refuse Fox's invitation. The car drove all the way through Xiacheng District. After reluctantly putting on Fox's spare coat to cover the uniform inside, Chen finally arrived at this small shop in the alley.

The fox was no stranger to this place. Chen could tell from the tone of her greeting to the shopkeeper that she was probably a regular visitor here. However, Chen still couldn't forget what they said when the shopkeeper looked at him following the fox after opening the curtain. dialogue.

"Miss Su? I haven't seen you for a few days."

"Been busy recently."

"It's rare to see that you didn't come alone today?"

"I happened to bring a friend with me and worked around here for most of the night."

The fox sat down in front of the counter without any courtesy, put his hand on his sore neck, and leaned his hand on the counter.

"Since you are Miss Su's friend, it's easy to talk to."

The store manager replied with a smile, then looked at Chen: "What do you call this person?"

Chen was sitting next to the fox. When she heard these words, she raised her head and looked at the price list hanging above her head.

"Just call me Chen."

"Ms. Chen, what do you two want?"

"It's still the same as before. By the way, Master Zhang, warm up two more pots of your specialty." Fox said, then looked at Chen: "What do you say?"

"I do not mind."

The fox took out the wooden chopsticks from the chopstick cage and tapped them upside down on the table.

"Then just like me, have two fried dumplings first, and then some meat and vegetable side dishes. It's lighter. It's getting hot lately."

"You two, wait a moment."

Chen looked at this small street shop. The owner was busy behind the counter. He wore a navy apron around his waist and worked part-time as the owner, chef and waiter of this small restaurant. A small shop like this is indeed It doesn’t require too many employees.

Chen noticed the conspicuous scar on the left side of his face, which seemed a bit sinister at first glance, but he always had a faint smile on his face and chatted with the fox from time to time.

His cooking skills should be good, at least in Chen's eyes, his skillful knife skills are worthy of recognition. His hand holding the knife is very steady, his movements are not jerky at all, and his techniques are also different.
