Chasing the Light - Episode 2
After more than ten years of ups and downs, Meng Huaizhi can finally stand in front of his father's grave with honor.
Originally, Gu Ji, Song Yanci, and even Grandpa Gu wanted to accompany him, but Meng Huaizhi refused.
He didn't hold flowers in his arms, but instead held a folder and a bottle of wine, and walked step by step to his father's tombstone.
The father in the photo still looked the same as he did more than ten years ago. His police uniform made him look very heroic. Meng Huaizhi smiled as he looked at him.
He squatted down, opened the folder, and took out the things inside bit by bit: "Dad, after so many years, your son has finally found a smooth path."
His father just looked at him kindly.
But is it really a smooth road?
Meng Huaizhi felt bitter.
He wanted to take a bright and shining road, but when he looked back, he saw only desolation along the way.
"But it's all over." He laughed and touched the photo of his father on the tombstone: "From now on, Meng Huaizhi is Meng Huaizhi, the son of Meng Guoqiang. He doesn't have to hide anymore."
Of course his father would not answer him, but Meng Huaizhi knew that he must understand him.
"You always said before that if we had the chance, we would get drunk together." He opened the wine he brought with him, "Dad, today I'll toast you. I'll come to see you every year, and we'll..."
He paused, staring at his father's photo on the tombstone for a long time, until a gust of wind blew and he came back to his senses.
He said, "We have plenty of time. We, father and son, can meet openly in the future."
But Meng Huaizhi collapsed the next day after returning from the cemetery.
The disease came so violently that even the blind man was a little at a loss. He never knew that Meng Huaizhi's illness was so serious.
At the critical moment, Sui Chenyang came to Gu Ji again. She held a special medicine in her hand: "This is the medicine Pei Yu gave me. Later, by chance, I found out that he was also taking this medicine."
Gu Ji made a prompt decision and gave the medicine to Meng Shu.
When Meng Shu was checking the medicine, Sui Chenyang said, "At least for now, this medicine can relieve his pain."
After a while, Meng Shu told Gu Ji: "Miss Sui is right. This medicine can reduce Meng Huaizhi's pain, but it is only a temporary solution. We must think of a new way."
In this regard, Gu Ji always listened to Meng Shu.
But no one expected that even with an excellent doctor like Meng Shu by his side, Meng Huaizhi's road to recovery would be so difficult.
Even if everything was settled, Meng Huaizhi had not been to Xining, his beloved home, for eight years due to health reasons. During these years, he spent half of his time recuperating abroad and the other half receiving treatment from Meng Shu in China, like living in seclusion.
Everything that happened in Qincheng seemed like a story in a dream. As I woke up, the difficult planning and waiting time disappeared into a blur.
Later, Gu Ji and Song Yanci left the Qincheng Police Station. Gu Ji returned to the army, and Song Yanci officially became a member of Interpol. Even Nie Zhonghua and Qi Fei were transferred from their original positions. The people in the Qincheng Public Security Bureau had been replaced long ago.
Later, when Lin Yiyue and Cen Hu returned to Qincheng for the New Year, they came to see Meng Huaizhi. When they were chatting, Meng Huaizhi heard them say that a female team leader had arrived in the Qincheng Serious Crime Squad, and she was also very impressive.
The reason I mention this is probably because of the love-hate relationship between this female team leader and the captain of the criminal investigation team.
He hadn't paid attention to news in this area for a long time, but that day he listened to them excitedly and with great interest.
Not long after that, Gu Ji and Song Yanci came to see him. The two of them have been equally busy in recent years. A few days ago, Lin Yiyue said that he couldn't contact them at all and missed Gu Ji very much.
While eating, Meng Huaizhi told them about the Qincheng Police Station as gossip. The blind man happened to come back from outside and continued the conversation, saying, "The captain of the criminal investigation team is called Jiang Yi, and he is also a capable man."
"Jiang Yi?" Song Yanci laughed, "It turned out to be this guy."
Meng Huaizhi was curious: " Know him ?"
"He is a very good brother of Song Yanci. Grandpa praised him back then. During that time, he studied with Jiang Li for a period of time beside Grandpa."
Song Yanci also became interested. He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Jiang Yi, wanting to see what kind of girl could have made him think about her for so many years.
The news from Jiang Yi came very quickly. He first sent a photo of Lin Cuo, and then sent a message asking Song Yanci if they could talk on the phone.
Gu Ji was holding the blind man's tablet and video chatting with Lin Yiyue. Cen Hu and the others were also online. He waved his phone at Gu Ji and Meng Huaizhi, walked out and called Jiang Yi.
"Brother." Jiang Yi's voice was not as happy as Song Yanci imagined. His first question was, "Do you remember Officer Lin Mulin?"
Song Yanci was stunned for a moment, and took a deep breath: "What's wrong?"
"Did you know that Officer Lin has a sister?"
"I know." Song Yanci said, "But that brat protects people too well. We have never seen it before."
Jiang Yi asked again: "Then do you know that Officer Shen Changying is Officer Lin's father?"
Lin Mu's sacrifice was a thorn in the hearts of Song Yanci and Zheng Pei, and Shen Changying's sacrifice was even more of a thorn in the hearts of the Qincheng police. Song Yanci asked, "Jiang Yi, what do you want to say?"
"This person I like very much, her name is Lin Cuo."
Jiang Yi's sudden words made Song Yanci suddenly understand something.
"She is Lin Mu's sister, right?" he asked.
"Yeah." Jiang Yi said.
Song Yanci fell silent.
Neither he nor Zheng Pei have given up on the truth behind Lin Mu and Shen Changying's sacrifices over the years, but until now they have only a few clues in their hands.
After Lin Mu's death, Aunt Lin moved into a nursing home. The person in charge of taking care of him was a boy named Guilai. They only found out later that he was Shen Changying's adopted son, and his father had once been an outstanding policeman.
As for Lin Mu's sister...
Song Yanci only realized now that from the very beginning, this sister that Lin Mu was always so proud of had been invisible.
He had no name in the police system, but was suddenly parachuted into an important position. With Gu Ji in front of him, and the fact that Jiang Yi had also said that the person he liked was a student at the police academy, Song Yanci quickly pieced together the answer.
So over the years, not only him and Zheng Pei, Lin Mu's sister, Senior Shen's daughter, the only backbone of the family, she was the one who made the greatest effort for the innocence of her father and brother.
"I have some clues here..." Song Yanci said, "Please give them to her for me later."
Jiang Yi's aura became noticeably agitated.
"Don't tell her yet that it was Zheng Pei and I who gave it to her." Song Yanci added, "She shouldn't trust anyone, but..."
Song Yanci suddenly paused, "Are you sure she trusts you?"
Jiang Yi was silent for a few seconds: "Give it to me, I will take care of it."
When Song Yanci returned after making this call, the blind man had already sent Meng Huaizhi back to his room to rest, and Gu Ji was also on the phone with Zhou Lie.
"I remember there's a good girl codenamed Falcon. Let her go on the Dongxing mission and let Fat Bear lead her personally."
As soon as she hung up the phone, Song Yanci came over: "Falcon? Little Falcon? Are you talking about her?"
"Do you know him ?"
"What a coincidence, she calls me Senior Brother. You know, Han Tuan is now responsible for part of Interpol's training." Song Yanci sat down, "Falcon is his subordinate."
"No wonder." Gu Ji laughed, "This guy was also introduced to me by the Korean group."
"Then do you know why her code name is Falcon?" Song Yanci asked again.
Gu Ji shook her head. She had been very busy in recent years and didn’t know much.
"The Korean group's code name is Eagle. This girl named herself Falcon to piss off the Korean group. But she is a good talent. The Korean group probably treats her like you did in the past, and they indulge her to no end."
Gu Ji sighed and said, "I like this girl. I'd like to meet her when I have time. By the way, how much contact do you have?"
"We haven't had much contact, but we have carried out several missions together. This girl can torture people. Captain Gu has a good eye."
Gu Ji supported his chin: "Will it torture people?"
Song Yanci also imitated her: "It should be said that she is particularly good at torturing criminals."
"Then I didn't choose the wrong person." Gu Ji laughed, "Dongxing is starting to get chaotic again. We need to find someone to calm it down."
"My respected Captain Gu, we are on vacation now."
Song Yanci moved his butt towards her, hanging on her like a pendant: "Look at me, look at me, we haven't seen each other for three months, look at your dear other half..."
"You get up first." Gu Ji patted him, "The blind man is here."
"How is that possible? The blind man is busy and won't come." Song Yanci rubbed against her: "Look at me, look at me, you pamper me, do you forget me in your heart? Do you not love me anymore? Does the distance create a rift between us?"
He spoke in a distorted manner, and Gu Ji couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Don't let the blind man laugh at you."
"What a joke? Are you starting to dislike me now?" Song Yanci felt even more aggrieved. "I'm serious. There's no way a blind man can come now. Don't..."
The blind man who had gone back coughed unbearably.
Song Yanci turned away stiffly.
The blind man sighed, looking hurt: "How about...I leave?"
