Chapter 263 Funeral and Luo Yama
One week later...
Shahe County, funeral parlor.
Countless wreaths and elegiac couplets were piled in the corridor at the door, which looked solemn and solemn.
Hundreds of police officers lined up in a long queue and filed in through the door.
Although Qi Lei was divorced, it was still his ex-wife who organized his funeral.
At this moment, she was wearing a long black dress, holding her son's shoulders, standing at the door, bowing to the visiting guests.
Sorrowful music came from the auditorium, making the hearts of the police officers present sink to the bottom.
All police officers from Shahe County Bureau were present, in addition to police officers from Haijiang Branch and Guangxing City Bureau.
Standing at the front of the team were Wei Qunshan, Lu Kangming and Yang Yunqiao, followed by Li Nong and Luo Rui. Behind Luo Rui were Yang Bo, Fang Yonghui, Chu Yang, and Su Mingyuan.
Cai Xiaojing was not present because she could not get out of bed, and Tian Guanghan was not discharged yet, but he secretly came here without telling the doctor.
After the three leaders entered, Li Nong nodded to Qi Lei's wife, then took out a white bag and handed it over.
"My condolences!"
When it was Luo Rui's turn, he did not dare to look into the other person's eyes, nor did he dare to look at Qi Lei's son.
Although he has been a colleague for so long, Luo Rui has never met Qi Lei’s family.
Qi Lei would rather give up his position as captain of the county bureau and resolutely want to follow him, but the final result was so cruel.
"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Lao Qi." Luo Rui bowed to the family.
Qi Lei's ex-wife had no tears and just nodded in response, but everyone could see that she was not sad, but was trying to suppress her emotions.
Luo Rui doesn't know the specific reason for Qi Lei's divorce, but it must have a lot to do with his identity.
Earlier, he also complained that he could not balance work and life. Sometimes he went on business trips and was away from home for a week in a row, which led to family disharmony.
"Thank you for coming."
Luo Rui handed the white envelope in his hand to the other party. "This is a little thought. In addition, if you have any problems at home, you can always come to me. My phone number is in the white envelope."
"I understand, thank you for your trouble."
Finally, Luo Rui took a look at Qi Lei's son. This boy was tall, handsome and looked exactly like Qi Lei.
“Are you my father’s leader?”
Luo Rui nodded slightly.
"My name is Qi Shi. At that time you solved the K301 train robbery and murder case, you and my dad were on the rule of law channel, and I saw you on TV.
And my dad got it back The photos of home also include you, standing in the middle of them
That’s a photo of your seventh team. My dad asked someone to make a photo frame and hung it on the wall of the living room. He said that because of you, his life is going forward again.”
Luo Rui was speechless, feeling extremely uncomfortable. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
"What was the scene like when my dad had the accident? I asked many people, but they kept it secret from me. Can you tell me? Is he brave?"
Luo Rui raised his head , looked him squarely in the eyes and replied: "He is a hero. He died to save me!"
A smile broke out on Qi Shi's face: "I knew it! He was old It's a lie, saying that you shouldn't rush to the front, the rear is the safest. When you meet a gangster, you must protect yourself as soon as possible, and don't be the first person, otherwise you will be the first to die."
< br>Luo Rui also laughed: "He lied to you. He is a good father and a good policeman. You have to believe this."
"Yes!"
After saying that, Luo Rui bowed to Qi Lei's ex-wife again and walked into the venue.
A photo of Qi Lei in uniform hangs in the center, surrounded by a circle of white flowers.
His body was parked in the middle of the venue, with an extremely peaceful expression on his face.
Luo Rui followed the team in front and paid homage to his body.
“Wow, Lao Qi looks so handsome!” Luo Rui heard Yang Bo muttering behind him.
Fang Yonghui also nodded: "Don't tell me, I have never seen him dressed so neatly."
Tian Guanghan's left hand was bandaged and hung around his neck. He also grinned and said: "If the human soul still exists, he will definitely be proud to see so many people coming to see him off."
Chu Yang: "Don't say it, he will definitely purse his lips at the same time Laughing while peeking at us."
Luo Rui sighed and placed the white chrysanthemum in his hand among the flowers next to the body. "Lao Qi, let's go!"
Chu Yang: "Brother Lei, let's go."
Tian Guanghan: "Old Qi, let's go. This is the half-bag of Huazi you left here with me. I'll give it back to you, lest you ask me for it in your dreams in the future."
Fang Yonghui: "Old Qi Ah, this is the steering wheel of our county bureau's broken van. That van is about to be scrapped. I asked Li Da for permission to dismantle the steering wheel and give it to you. Remember, don't drive so fast in the future. "
Yang Bo: "Lao Qi, I have nothing to give you. These are the flowers that Luo Da gave me before. I can't bear to smoke them. I'll give them to you these two boxes. Don't ask me to give them to you in my dreams. I have a few If you're afraid, go to Lao Tian. He secretly smoked several of your half pack of cigarettes."
When they walked around Qi Lei's body and couldn't see his face anymore, everyone couldn't stand it. Lived.
Lao Bao and Xiao Wu were the first to start crying.
Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo shed tears silently.
Luo Rui's eyes were also red, and he clenched his hands into fists, but he seemed helpless.
He wants to do something, but what can he do?
The suspect who killed Qi Lei has been arrested, and they are all now being held in the Guangxing City Detention Center.
Although there is a law to judge them, Luo Rui still feels a huge sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Qi Lei, Zhang Xun, and Cai Xiaojing, who still can't get out of bed.
The price they paid was too high.
As a police officer for more than two years, Luo Rui thought he had been able to control his emotions, but in the end he found that all this was in vain.
Qi Lei's body will be cremated soon, and the ashes will be sent to the cemetery for burial. After completing this process, at least it will be dark.
Most of the people present were police officers. Everyone came here during working hours, so they all started to leave at this moment.
Seeing Luo Rui standing alone in the corner smoking, Wei Qunshan and Lu Kangming came over.
Wei Qunshan did a great job. He came to the memorial service in person to express his condolences, which was an explanation to Qi Lei’s family and the Shahe County Bureau.
"What? Are you still feeling sorry for Qi Lei?"
Luo Rui looked at the old fox and shrugged: "Before I came back from Qianjiang City, I talked with Bureau Hou. What he means is that if we can free up Come on, they have several cases that they want to hand over to our criminal team for investigation."
This is obviously a change of topic. How could Wei Qunshan not know that people who are extremely uncomfortable are asking questions but not answering. Start talking about other topics.
Seeing Luo Rui like this, Wei Qunshan didn't find it easy to expose him, so he just followed his topic and said, "Hou Junlin?"
Luo Rui nodded: "Yes, it's him."
Wei Qunshan immediately turned over He rolled his eyes: "He wants to eat shit."
Hearing this, Lu Kangming immediately shrank his neck. Although he did not agree, Wei Qunshan always gave him a majestic aura. .
Speaking of which, the two of them were still at the same level, but Lu Kangming knew that the other party had taken Shang Fang's sword and the secret order before.
The water behind such people is very deep.
In terms of conspiracy and tactics, he is not as good as Wei Qunshan.
“He wants you to wipe his butt, do you understand?” Wei Qunshan put his hands behind his back and said unceremoniously: “This time, the snakeheads and the gang were hiding like this in Qianjiang City. Deep, they didn’t have any information at all, and during the operation, all their people were second-guessing Hundred and Fifty, not willing to cooperate.
Now that the prisoners have been arrested, I just want to pick peaches right away. How can there be such a beautiful thing?
Not to mention, I still want to use my people. Go help him investigate the case, what’s going on in his head?”
Lu Kangming blinked and wanted to retort, "Luo Rui is from the Shahe County Bureau. How did he become one of you, Lao Wei?"
In order to poach Zhao Ming, he even sent him tea leaves and flattered him as much as possible. Unexpectedly, in the end, Luo Rui and others fell into his trap and were plotted by him. While licking my own face and constantly selling well.
Lu Kangming sighed in his heart, in terms of calculations and scheming, Wei Qunshan was indeed superior.
Luo Rui shook his head: "No, the criminal team originally wanted to make a name for itself in Haidong Province. In recent years, there have been more and more current murder cases, and old cases cannot be solved. We It is not what everyone wants to see if we do not investigate and let the criminals continue to go free."
Wei Qunshan immediately retorted: "You haven't learned your lesson yet?"
These words were a bit serious. Luo Rui immediately threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it out with the soles of his feet.
"What's wrong?"
"You didn't listen to what I just said, right? It doesn't mean that you can't take the case. First, you must ensure that we..." Wei Qunshan pointed He and Lu Kangming then continued: "Guarantee the detection rate of our two bureaus, and secondly, we can think of other things.
This time the independence issue The case was an accident, so I won’t go into details. But if you encounter something like this in the future, give the clues to the local police and we will not intervene. If we want to intervene, we have to put forward conditions, we have to ask for benefits, and we have to guarantee The safety of our police officers.
I don’t want to see our people sacrificed for other people’s cases again!”
This was very straightforward, and Wei Qunshan's tone left no room for doubt.
Lu Kangming blinked and said quickly: "What Director Wei said is, Luo Rui, I know how you feel. Even if you want to catch all the criminals, you can't catch them all. Murders happen every day in Haidong Province, right? As the old saying goes, everyone should sweep away the snow in front of them, right?”
Listen to Lu Kangming as well. So Luo Rui breathed out and nodded: "I understand! And that, Qi Lei's pension..."
Lu Kangming immediately took over: "You don't need to worry about this. , Political Commissar Yang will handle it, and it will definitely satisfy Qi Lei’s family.”
“Okay, thank you Bureau Lu”
Seeing that Luo Rui understood, Wei Qunshan's tone improved: "Also... Xiaojing is awake now, but she can't get out of bed yet. Recovery will take a lot of time, so I gave her half a year's leave.
You guys in the criminal team, I will also give you a week's leave to have a good rest.
It's the end of the year. After you have rested, you will work back and forth between Shahe County Bureau and Haijiang Branch. Solve our old cases, those Don't worry about major cases. Your reputation has already been established anyway.
If it weren't for you, the snakeheads would have harmed many more people. We will give credit to you. End of year commendation Yes, you are the most conspicuous."
Luo Rui rolled his eyes and spread his hands: "You always use this to fool me. If you want to draw a cake, just draw it for my team members. Pie, they must be happy.”
"Fuck you." Wei Qunshan smiled. "To be honest, I have already reported my names here. Xiaojing is the first class meritorious, Chu Yang, Su Mingyuan and Tian Guanghan are the second class meritorious service. The police rank will be increased by one level."
Lu Kangming also immediately followed up: "Our county bureau has also reported to the ministry that Qi Lei is a second-class hero model and Luo Rui is a first-class meritorious , the police rank was raised by two levels. Yang Bo and Fang Yonghui are also second-class, and the police rank has also been increased by one level."
Hearing this, Luo Rui felt better, after all, he worked hard with his brother. If something is gained, those who are at the front will naturally be rewarded accordingly.
Qi Lei's second-level hero model, even if he does not deserve it, the pension can bring some comfort to the broken family.
Seeing Luo Rui grinning, Wei Qunshan felt a little more comfortable.
"Come on, don't be an eyesore in front of me. Lao Lu and I will have a chat here."
"Okay, I'll get out." Luo Rui blinked.
... Qi Lei's funeral lasted until the evening. The family members expressed their gratitude and prepared a banquet, but the atmosphere was always too depressed, so many people did not attend.
Luo Rui was the last to leave. Just as he was about to get in the car, Qi Lei's ex-wife ran over with her son. She held Luo Rui tightly in her hand and sent him out. of white packets.
She said breathlessly: "Captain Luo, I'm sorry. I saw what you gave me. It's too valuable. We can't take it."
What Luo Rui gave away was either something else or something else. Get a bank card, simple and straightforward.
The six-digit password is written on the back of the card, and the amount is written on the back: three hundred thousand.
Three hundred thousand, in this era, is not a small amount, it is worth a house in Shahe County.
The salary of the police is not high, and if it is an upright police officer, it will be even less.
Luo Rui knew Qi Lei's character well. Not only did he support his family with just that salary, almost all his time was taken up by work.
It’s strange that his ex-wife is satisfied.
Most divorced families are divorced because of money.
Being an innocent and upright police officer means you really have no money and no time to spend with your family.
Now that Qi Lei is gone, this is all Luo Rui can do, after all, he still has a son.
Luo Rui looked at Qi Lei's ex-wife and shook his head with a smile: "This money is not mine. Lao Qi asked me to help him invest and earn back the money. I transferred it all to this card, plus the interest, it was exactly this amount. ."
" Qi Lei and I divorced not long ago and our property has been divided. I know exactly how much savings he has. Captain Luo, you really don’t need to give us money. I have a job and can support myself and my son. Besides, he still has money. Pension.”
"I understand!" Luo Rui nodded, looked at the door of the funeral home, and whispered: "I believe you have this ability, and you are a good mother.
But have you ever thought about it, You and Qi Lei divorced Yes, the pension is also paid to his parents. Qi Lei is not an only son. I saw Lao Qi’s younger brother and sister in the mourning hall. They have been pestering our political commissar.”
“Ah...”
Luo Rui sighed: "Don't worry, this is really the money Lao Qi made from investing. If you don't believe it, you can ask Li Nong. He knows everything. Even he asked me to help with investment.
< br>That’s it, take care, no matter what difficulties you have, you can call me, I will be there for you.”
Luo Rui nodded to Qi Shi who was standing aside, and then closed the car door. , drove the car out.
Qi Lei’s ex-wife looked at the sunset in the west, lost in thought.
Qi Shi shouted: "Mom..."
"What's wrong?"
"That man is a liar just like dad."
"Yes, I hope your dad will always lie to me, just like he did when he was alive... "
Hearing this, Qi Shi wiped away his tears, took his mother's arm and walked towards the flower bed of the funeral parlor.
After Qi Lei’s ashes were buried, relatives and friends were saying their final farewells. There were two braziers next to the flower bed, and Qi Lei’s parents were throwing yellow paper into the braziers.
Seeing the mother and son approaching, they stepped aside.
Qi Shi picked up a pile of yellow paper, squatted on the ground, and burned the paper money in front of the brazier with tears streaming down his face.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the wind is blowing around, rustling the treetops.
After Qi Shi finished burning the paper, he knelt down and couldn't help but kowtow in the direction where his father left.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew from a distance.
The wind picked up the fire in the basin and turned it into a tornado of flames.
This wind seems to want to hug this child.
Seeing this, Qi Shi was stunned for two seconds, and then burst into tears...
...
Shahe County Bureau, the sub shop outside the door.
Luo Rui pushed the door open and saw Cui Wang standing behind the kitchen counter at first sight.
Speaking of which, the two of them haven’t seen each other for more than a month.
Luo Rui had a good impression of him. This man was a cold-faced and warm-hearted person.
At Qi Lei’s funeral, Luo Rui also saw him and Meng Jun.
The two people did not enter the auditorium, but gave them white envelopes and left in a hurry.
Qi Lei was also considered a regular customer of Cui Wang. He often bragged and drank at the bun shop. Now that he was gone, the old boy looked sad.
But he covered it up quickly. When he saw Luo Rui, he immediately rolled his eyes.
"I haven't seen him for more than a month. I heard that he died in your hands and lost several lives?"
Luo Rui glared at him and stretched out four fingers.
"Damn, you are indeed King Luo Hell. Any criminal who encounters you will be considered unlucky."
"What? Fight for them?"
"Tah!" Cui Wang turned his head and ignored him.
Luo Rui walked around the kitchen counter and walked towards Li Nong's group.
After taking a few steps, he heard Cui Wang muttering behind him: "Good job!"
The police officer who attended Qi Lei's funeral came back to work. Naturally, they all gathered at the bun shop.
The store was full of people, and even though they were all in plain clothes, anyone with a discerning eye would know their identities at the first sight of these big, round-waisted guys.
So Cui Wang’s bun shop, except for people passing by to buy some food for breakfast, mostly does business for the county bureau.
But fortunately, because of this store, off-duty police officers can have a comfortable place without worrying about other people's opinions.
Except when on duty, no off-duty police officer would go home wearing a uniform, which would be an eyesore and cause a lot of trouble.
Li Nong looked at Luo Rui and sighed.
There were a lot of people sighing today, and Luo Rui didn't want to hear them anymore.
He squeezed Li Nong: "Sit over a little bit."
Li Nong pointed to the opposite side: "There are so many seats, you have to squeeze in my side."
"Who told you your butt is big? , one person occupies a seat for two people."
Li Nong rolled his eyes: "This is called a strong foot plate. Damn it, you have never seen how I caught a criminal. Even two people can't be knocked down. Me!”
"Just brag." Luo Rui retorted.
At this time, Meng Jun came over, holding a bowl of beef noodles in his hand and placed it in front of Luo Rui's table.
"Old Cui just braised the beef today. Knowing that you are coming back today, he went to the vegetable market to choose the freshest one."
Luo Rui nodded gratefully and took a look. Circle, he had the most beef slices in his bowl, and the meat was already coming out of the bowl.
Cui Wang quickly raised his voice and shouted: "Don't listen to her nonsense. I happened to pass by the vegetable market, and the beef was sold by the boss at a discount. I saw that the pile of beef attracted flies, so I bought it. , specially made for him. ”
"Really?" Luo Rui retorted: "Li Da, you heard me, your cousin's shop is a black shop. It is opened in front of the county bureau and it is designed to harm us. If you don't report it, I will report it. "
Li Nong: "Huh?"
Cui Wang also had a dark face.
Li Nong was stunned when he heard Luo Rui's joke, and all the detectives present laughed.
Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo laughed the most happily. After being away for more than a month, their own territory was still the most familiar and the most comfortable to stay.
Chu Yang, Su Mingyuan, and Tian Guanghan also laughed. Now that the two places are handling cases, they must also integrate into the Shahe County Bureau.
A few people were chatting with each other, and Luo Rui polished off the noodles in his bowl.
Not to mention, Lao Cui Lu’s beef is truly outstanding, soft but not rotten, and very chewy.
After eating, Luo Rui put down his chopsticks and told the members of the criminal team about his merits.
Everyone cheered immediately.
Yang Bo raised his fingers happily: "In less than half a year, I got a third-class merit award and a second-class merit award. Holy shit, six months ago, I was a small policeman at Wuyuan Police Station. I never dreamed that I would be here today."< br>
Fang Yonghui said: " Me too! "
Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan have won several medals with Luo Rui before, but this time their achievements are of extraordinary significance, and they and Fang Yonghui both graduated from serious police schools. The future prospects are limitless.
Don’t underestimate this credit, it will accompany them throughout their lives. In addition to receiving a generous pension after retirement, they can also brag about their awesomeness for a lifetime.
Tian Guanghan looked at Luo Rui gratefully, raised his beer glass, and said: "Team leader, I, Lao Tian, used to follow Yang Qian. You know those people from Haijiang Branch in the past. Not much else to say. From now on, you can Just call me.”
"I understand." Luo Rui picked up the beer glass and followed suit.
"Team leader, I toast you too!" Chu Yang also came to toast, and then Su Mingyuan and others joined in.
“Damn it, let’s have some noodles and we’ll end up in a social situation.” Luo Rui complained, but he still accepted everyone who came.
Cui Wang, who was standing behind the kitchen counter, glanced at Luo Rui, who was blushing and thick-necked, and then quietly took out a notebook from under the counter.
He looked through it for a while, picked up the pen, and crossed out the unfinished word "正" four times, just enough to fill in the word.
His actions were seen by Li Nong who came back from the toilet: "Cousin, what are you doing?"
"Oh, it's okay, I'll record how many lives were lost at the hands of King Luo Hell. ."
"Ah? Why do you remember this?" Li Nong was shocked and immediately became alert.
Cui Wang spread his hands, looking a little innocent.
“It’s not me who wants to remember it, it’s your aunt who asked me to write it down. She goes to the temple every month to pray to the Bodhisattva to bless this King of Hell. She kills too many creatures for fear of his backlash.”
Li Nong understood that not long ago, a statue of Guan Yu was invited to the bun shop. It turned out to be for this reason.
He immediately became curious: "Then how many lives have you recorded?"
Cui Wang nodded with his pen: "I counted, uh... it may not be accurate, ten lives? Then there are ten little ghosts pestering him?”
Hearing this, Li Nong shuddered.
The two people looked at Luo Rui and saw that he was laughing, but there was deep sadness hidden in his smile...
