"As your mother said, live and learn."

Hu Pingtao smiled and said: "So you also learned to play games?"

"There is no way, it's all forced." Hu Chongxian felt helpless: "Time will always eliminate some things. I used to read TV and newspapers, but now I can only receive external news through mobile phones. Let's just say that this time I came to Dizhou for a meeting.

Let’s do it! Require participants to use their mobile phones to scan the code to log in. If I hadn’t been forced to use it by your mother for several years, I really wouldn’t know how to do this.”

As he said that, Hu Chong showed a bit of pride and satisfaction: "Most of the old guys who come to the meeting don't know how to do it. Haha, it's funny when I think about it."

Hu Pingtao continued to compliment: "You are really amazing."

He raised his thumbs up.

Looking at his young and outstanding son, Hu Chongxian's eyes showed more gentleness: "You are not bad, I have not disgraced you and me. Xiao Zhang told me that you performed well that night and rushed to the front.

He takes the lead and is very brave."

"Xiao Zhang?" Hu Pingtao didn't react for a while and asked doubtfully: "Dad, which Xiao Zhang?"

"That's your webmaster Zhang Guangbei." Hu Chongxian said with a veteran look: "He is younger than me."

Hu Pingtao lowered his head and was speechless. But if you think about it carefully, Zhang Guangbei is a junior in front of his father, regardless of his position or age.

Hu Chongxian continued: "One more thing. Your wife will give birth to a baby next year. Should you go back and take a look?"

"I'll try my best." Hu Pingtao quickly replied: "I'll ask for leave when the time comes, and I'll go back as soon as I can."

"I won't force you on this matter. After all, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends." Hu Chongxian said seriously: "No matter whether you can come back or not, your mother and I must take care of Linlin anyway. But... the name of the child

What do you think about this matter?"

Hu Pingtao said "ah" and opened his mouth, unable to close it.

He never thought about this problem.

After all, it’s still early and I’m becoming a father for the first time.

Hu Chongxian said seriously: "I chose two names, they are very suitable."

Hu Pingtao said quickly: "Dad, please tell me."

Under the influence of alcohol, Hu Chongxian's face turned slightly red and his voice became louder: "If it's a boy, it's called patriotism. If it's a girl, it's called patriotism."

Hu Pingtao raised his hand, stroked his forehead, and sighed helplessly: "...Dad, can you change your name to another one?"

"Okay!" the old man replied simply: "The men are called Aijun, and the women are called Weimin."

"This... should I change it to something else?"

"That's okay. The boy's name is Zhongjun, and the girl's name is Zhongqin."

"Forget it, let me think about it carefully and I will get it for the child myself later."

…

In the evening, Hu Pingtao stayed with his father in the guest house.

At six o'clock the next morning, Hu Chongxian got up on time.

He moved very lightly, without washing, he put on his clothes directly, walked to the bed, looked at his son who was still sleeping, and stared at him in silence for several minutes, then turned around slowly and walked out of the room.

The moment the door closed and made a slight "click", Hu Pingtao opened his eyes.

He woke up when his father got up.

He knew that his father was not good at expressing emotions.

Regardless of whether he said "there will be no meeting this morning" last night was true or not, he was deliberately avoiding it and was very concerned about himself.

It sounds contradictory, but it's true.

Maybe in a few years, when my father retires from his current position, the situation will become different.

Hu Pingtao doesn't like his father who is too strict.

He liked the old man who was domineering and affectionate to him last night.

…

We returned to the border checkpoint just in time to have breakfast.

Yesterday, the case of the wooden elephant hiding drugs was being counted, and the goods have been put into storage, waiting for the state to send someone to deal with it.

The morning passed in a busy manner.

At half past twelve, Hu Pingtao was eating in the cafeteria when he saw Zhang Qing's family hurriedly walking from the direction of the gate from a distance.

Next to him is his younger brother Zhang Qingwei.

Hu Pingtao stood up quickly and asked, "Aren't you in the state? When did you come back?"

As a direct family member, the Zhang Qing family is responsible for Zhang Qingbao's funeral affairs, and he also handles a series of complicated affairs. Zhang Guangbei gave the Zhang Qing family a few days off. He was supposed to come back to work tomorrow, but unexpectedly it was earlier than expected.

The Zhang brothers sat down around the dining table. Zhang Qing's family said: "There was a case at the third police station. It was very difficult to investigate. For a while, there was no clue. He called me last night and asked the state office if he could give me some money.

Help, or send someone to support you. I remembered what Captain Lei of the Anti-Narcotics Team said last time that you are a master in investigating crimes, so I rushed back on the early train today and asked the third child to ask you for advice."

Hu Pingtao smiled and shook his head: "Don't ask for advice. We are all on our own. Team Lei is deliberately looking up to me! How can I be so awesome?"

Zhang Qingbao is familiar with Hu Pingtao's temper: "Don't be humble. I called Lei Yue last night, and he gave me the number to find the provincial criminal police corps. I called over this morning, and Ran Ding happened to be over there.

In the office, he listened for a few words and then took the phone and said that since you are here, there is no need to send anyone. If I have any questions, I can just call you."

Being polite is a courtesy, not to mention that Ran Hongjun has already spoken. Hu Pingtao smiled and faced Zhang Qingwei and said sincerely: "I am really average, not as exaggerated as they said. But since you, third brother, are in trouble, I will definitely help.

"

He is very familiar with the four brothers of the Zhang family, and they usually call each other "rank".

Zhang Qingwei didn't show any pretense: "Okay, then I'll tell you the truth."

…

Zhang Qingwei is the director of the No. 5 Border Police Station. In this jurisdiction, there is a village called "Mengsuo".

Last month, someone died in the village.

Yan Hanguang (pronounced "cancer") is very young, twenty-six years old this year. His parents are still alive at home, and he has an older sister. He usually helps the family with farm work, mainly planting rice.

Someone in the village was tapping rubber up the mountain and passed under the cliff and found his body.

"The autopsy results at that time showed that Yan Han fell to death. His head fell to the ground and hit a stone, causing the entire skull to shatter and the sternum to be broken in many places. The time of death was around nine o'clock the night before. The family of the deceased also confirmed that Yan Han

Hanguang went to play cards with his friends in the same village every day after dinner. But his card friends said they didn't see him there that day, so they thought he had something to do and couldn't come, so they found someone else to join in."

Hu Pingtao asked: "Was there anything found at the scene? For example, the deceased's mobile phone?"

Zhang Qingwei shook his head: "We found no traces of a fight. We searched up and down the cliff, and there were no missing items. We did find Yan Hanguang's mobile phone at the scene, but it had been broken and was broken into parts.

"

Hu Pingtao said while eating: "It can be restored even if it is broken, as long as the mobile phone chip is not damaged."

Zhang Qingwei said: "His mobile phone chip was broken into two pieces. I sent someone to the state to ask for technical support."

Hu Pingtao asked: "Can you find the text messages on the deceased's mobile phone and the phone numbers he made during that time?"

Zhang Qingwei nodded: "Okay."

Hu Pingtao continued to ask: "Are you sure the cause of death was falling? Were any drugs or alcohol found in the body of the deceased?"

Zhang Qingwei looked at Hu Pingtao in surprise, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "The alcohol content is very high, and it has reached the level of drunkenness."

Hu Pingtao took a sip from the soup bowl and said with a smile: "It can basically be concluded that it was homicide. How could a drunkard climb so high alone without any support at night in the dark?"

The cliff? And then there are the footprints... were they found at the scene?"

Zhang Qingwei said: "No. There was a heavy rain on the night of the crime, and the timing was coincidental. It was just two hours after Yan Hanguang's death, and it continued to rain until dawn. The ground was covered with wet mud, leaving nothing behind...

Well, I also thought that this case was a homicide, and based on this, I checked in Mengsuo Village for several days. But everyone said that they did not see Yan Hanguang that night, nor did they see him in the afternoon.

drink wine."

Hu Pingtao thought for a moment and asked: "Are there any relevant clues in the investigation of mobile phone text messages and phone calls?"

Zhang Qingwei shook his head: "They were all normal conversations between him and his friends, and there were no unusual topics involved."

Hu Pingtao smacked his lips: "This is difficult to check."

Zhang Qingwei rubbed his hands in confusion: "Our office's main job is to maintain stability and demarcate borders, and our technical strength is limited. If we encounter this kind of case, if we can't find clues in a short time, we can only hand it over to the state and provincial departments. But the problem is

yes……"

Seeing him in trouble, Hu Pingtao asked doubtfully: "Why, besides this, are there other cases?"

Zhang Qingwei nodded heavily: "Yesterday, another person died in Mengsuo Village."

"His name is Yanzai. He is also a young man. He is twenty-seven years old this year. He went out the night before yesterday and stayed away all night. Someone found his body in the pond at the entrance of the village yesterday morning."

Hu Pingtao frowned: "Drown?"

"Yes." Zhang Qingwei replied: "The preliminary autopsy shows that is the case."

Hu Pingtao had a vague hunch: "Is there a connection between the two deceased people?"
