Longmen Memoirs

"Missy, why didn't you also tell the story about how you walked up and poured the wine in your hand on those two people's heads?"

Xingxiong's voice sounded from beside her, and Shihuaiya paused.

"I'm not here to comfort her or share her hatred, I'm here to laugh at her." She said matter-of-factly. "And she is the person in charge of today's operation. If she doesn't move, do you want me to take command?"

"But you at least think she did nothing wrong, don't you?"

Xingxiong heard her whisper: "Since I was a child, I have seen many people who acted like they wanted to do big things in front of my grandfather."

"Ok?"

"But most of them are just pretending, trying to defraud some money."

"That one must have a sharp eye."

"I don't know if he has a sharp eye, but thanks to him, I'm good at identifying those who just show off."

"What about Lao Chen?" Xing Xiong asked.

"She?" Shihuaiya paused and smiled disdainfully: "What an idiot. If she didn't have a lovely daughter, I wouldn't even bother to mock her."

"Missy, are you still thinking about Xiao Mo calling you aunt during the New Year?"

"Do I look like an aunt? She must have taught me in private. Ha, on the surface, she doesn't have a good look on anyone. Only she can do such duplicitous things."

"Haha, I can't refute it." Xing Xiong laughed and patted Shi Huaiya on the shoulder: "Let's go, there is a lot to do today."

------

Longmen ghetto, 10:42 am.

Reporters who had heard about the Guards Bureau's actions had already swarmed in and blocked the blockade. Chen Huijie's arrival instantly stimulated them.

"Superintendent Chen, today is a great day for the establishment of the Guard Bureau's office in slums. Can you tell me how you feel now?"

The police officers on duty stopped the reporters who were coming up in a crowd, and they continued to shoot and fire without stopping. Chen had already adapted to this kind of treatment, and she had a cold face.

"No comment."

"Go away, go away."

"Hey, why are you pushing people away!"

"Where did you get in?!"

The police officers took away the reporters who had entered the cordon. Chen looked at the patrol officers on duty, and his mostly serious eyes made them feel uneasy.

"Didn't I say that reporters are not allowed to get close?"

"Superintendent Chen, we're on our way, but with such a large-scale campaign in the slums, there's no way we can drive away these flies." The police officer said helplessly, then glanced at the large and small media surrounding the perimeter, and whispered. : "Everyone is waiting to see us get into trouble."

Chen's eyes darkened.

The police officer hurriedly added: "Well, I didn't say there was anything wrong with your decision. It's just that the ninth team leader suddenly resigned, and you are one of the promoters of the infected housing case. This will inevitably mean that there is some controversy."

"..."

Chen pursed his lips slightly, and then sighed softly. He could probably think of the people standing behind these media.

"...Let them take pictures."

She said, holding the hilt of the sword at her waist and looking at the Guards officer in front of her.

"Line up!"

"The ghetto has always been a tough nut to crack for the Guards Bureau."

"Slums harbor filth, there are infected people in slums, slums are lawless places... slums are a problem in Gantry."

"I know a lot of you don't understand the idea of ​​being in the ghetto either."

The officers did not respond.

The bright sunshine in the morning fell on the streets of the slightly dilapidated slums of Longmen, with old signboards and disorganized buildings. Chen paused for a while.

"But I would say those of us who live in urban areas need to bear some of the responsibility for why this is happening."

【}

"We not only want to enter the slums, but also make the slums into legal places like other urban areas. We want everyone in the slums to see that Longmen treats them no differently than other urban areas."

"do you understand?"

"understand!"

She could hear the whispers among the police officers and the media group after the words fell. She could see the police officers hesitating, and saw the media writing down what she had just said. She knew that these remarks would later be criticized by Konoe. The situation that the Bureau has achieved in Longmenxiacheng District continues to ferment.

But as one of the promoters, she has no retreat. Whether she gives up now or fails, she will become a laughing stock. Although she doesn't care about this, this is also the reason why she cannot fail.

Is it because I'm not firm enough?

Xing Xiong seemed to have read through Chen's thoughts.

She stood next to Chen, cleared her throat and spoke loudly on purpose.

"Among other things, I don't know if we treat the slums equally, but some people do treat us quite equally."

Xing Xiong looked at the surrounding media with a pointed look.

"No matter where the Guards Bureau is doing, they will always want to cause us some trouble. Today is the day we open our doors in the slums. There will definitely be people who don't like us and will give us gifts."

"You guys don't have to think too much. Our soldiers will stop it, and the water will cover it with earth. After that, I'll treat you tonight."

A brief cheer broke out among the officers.

"What to eat?" someone asked.

Xing Xiong waved his hand and said proudly: "Food stall."

Then there was a drawn-out squeaking sound in response to her.

Xing Xiong coughed awkwardly and glanced at Chen beside him.

"Of course, if you can persuade Lao Chen to pay for it, that would be another matter, right, Lao Chen." She winked at Chen.

"Superintendent Chen, what do you say?"

Chen hesitated slightly, feeling helpless. She was not as rich as Shi Huaiya.

"……no problem."

Xingxiong happily directed his men to start working.

"Haha, that's right. I heard you all. Start working quickly. Whoever makes a mistake will be questioned."

Chapter 3 This Longmen City ([-])

At the same time that the Guards Bureau stationed in the slums was carrying out its work, Chen answered an unfamiliar number.

"Who?"

"Superintendent Chen, we have Ah Fa in our hands. If we don't want him to die, I'll ask you to go alone."

"……Location."

"As expected of Superintendent Chen, I'm happy to give it to you. If you don't show up within half an hour, Afa's life will be in danger."

"I see."

Chen hung up the phone.

Xing Xiong looked at her: "Old Chen, what's wrong?"

"Here comes trouble."

Chen's tone was helpless, and Xingxiong raised his shield.

"I will go with you."

"No, I can handle it on my own. I'll leave the command to you for the time being."

"no problem?"

"Don't worry, if the situation is urgent, I will call for support immediately."

"Okay, stay safe."

"know."

An abandoned residential building in a slum area.

When Chen walked into the building, there was no one around. She saw the only person standing on the ground floor of the building.

"I'm here, alone, no one else."

Ah Fa turned around slowly, and Chen saw his face clearly.

"Superintendent Chen..."

"Afa, are you alone?"

"I'm sorry, Superintendent Chen."

Chen suddenly understood something.

"...You lied to me, Ah Fa!"

"The boss of the Anchor Gang forced me to blow you up here. If I don't do it, my mother will die. They know that you are the person who cares most about this matter in Xiacheng District. Once you do it, everyone will We don’t even have any business, so as long as we deal with you, this matter won’t happen.”

Chen's hand held Chi Xiao behind his waist.

"I will cut off your hand before you press the detonation button."

She warned aloud: "Don't do anything stupid before I draw the sword."

Afa subconsciously took two steps back and his eyes fell on Chen's hand holding the weapon.

"The detonator is not in my hand. If I die, someone outside will detonate the explosive. You are the one who should not act rashly, Superintendent Chen."

"you……"

"...Don't blame me, Superintendent Chen." Afa took a deep breath and closed his eyes, then opened them again: "Sister Gui introduced me to you. I know you are a good person, and some people in the slums also know that. But others don’t know.”

"You know that some bigwigs entrenched in the slums will not sit back and watch the Guard Bureau enter the slums, but you don't know that even ordinary people living in the slums, not many really believe that the Guard Bureau is stationed in the slums. Do good things."

"Everyone doesn't trust you. How many infected people have been dealt with by the Guards Bureau? The Guards Bureau will only deal with all infected people indiscriminately. Many people living in slums have violated many laws of the Guards Bureau. , now they just feel that their last bit of freedom is gone.”

Chen was stunned for a moment. She looked at Ah Fa who said these words. She looked at the other person's pleading that didn't look fake. She remembered her knowledge of the slums. She had never lived in the slums. She could only see What she thought was the life of the slum dwellers, what she thought they needed, her kindness may be too anxious, can a kindness that is too anxious be called a kindness?

Can the public accept it?Can Longmen accept it?Is it acceptable to those you treat?

But why don’t you do it because of this?Because in this way, we will give up eating because of choking, abandoning the basic and chasing the weak?

Chen didn't know, she wasn't sure, but Ah Fa gave her an answer, an obvious answer.

"I didn't mean to..." she wanted to explain.

"I know you're not."

Ah Fa interrupted Chen's words and looked in Chen's direction with pleading: "But they don't think so. Let me beg you, Superintendent Chen, you are a good person. I don't want anything to happen to you. Send a message to those Ah Fa." The sir has left, don’t come here.”

"You will end up stationed in the slums like this. Even if you survive today, you will not be able to survive tomorrow. Those big guys are inhumane. They will drive away the Guards Bureau with methods you cannot accept!"

At the end of his sentence, his pleading words sounded like a cathartic growl.

Chen only felt that his hand holding the hilt of Chixiao's sword was trembling because of anger [$

Chen felt cold in his heart, absurd and terrifying.

"Do you think...I will agree?"

Chen asked coldly, and she hesitated.

Didn't she know she would agree?

A result that everyone expected, a result that was not what she expected, a result that was both right and wrong.

Should I say yes?

Do I...want to agree?

They all feel that a right thing is wrong, so they are the one who is wrong. Because the wrong is considered right by everyone, the right becomes a wrong.
